Lilian has a brainwave and Josh returns to trouble at Brookfield
Neil鈥檚 distressed to discover there鈥檚 been more tail-biting amongst his pigs. One of the pigs has been so badly bitten he has to put it down. Sensing a lack of support from Hannah, he loses his cool and shouts at her. Hannah reckons Neil needs to rethink his management style.
Josh is finally back from his holiday in Bangkok. Rex is thankful he didn鈥檛 have to produce any paperwork for the police. Ruth is still at her wits鈥� end and insists Josh goes to the police station to explain himself. Later Josh reports that the police meeting went very smoothly. The so-called mate who borrowed the digger has been charged and Josh will have his digger back soon.
Rex fills Josh in on his progress with the pigs. He鈥檚 really bonded with them and is feeling remorse at having to take them to slaughter. He recommends Rex to talk to Neil about his concerns.
Lilian wasn鈥檛 impressed with the way Jolene and Kenton bickered about The Bull鈥檚 name change the whole way through the interview for Bella鈥檚 replacement. Hannah arrives at The Bull to discuss moving into One, The Green with Johnny. Lilian and Kenton rope her into their debate about the significance of changing a pub鈥檚 name, but Hannah doesn鈥檛 get what the fuss is about. Lilian鈥檚 had her thinking cap on and has come up with a new name. She can鈥檛 wait for it to be announced.
