Robert鈥檚 plan backfires and there鈥檚 a near miss at Home Farm

Brian鈥檚 helping Jennifer source recycled materials for her Easter bonnet, when Alistair arrives to look at the sheep. He diagnoses them with contagious bovine digital dermatitis, not foot rot as Eli had thought. Foot rot treatment won鈥檛 work; they鈥檒l need an antibiotic injection and special spray. Alistair confirms that Josh was right to raise the alarm. Adam resolves to thank Josh. Adam鈥檚 been preoccupied with Ian鈥檚 aunt dying and needing to care for Xander. Brian thinks Adam will need more help in future and volunteers to drill the barley straight away. He reports to Jennifer later that he got on so well, he did an extra field.

Robert phones Lee in need of a favour. Lynda鈥檚 been struggling recently as her physiotherapist is a bit of a hard taskmaster. He wonders whether Lee might take her on as a patient. Lee explains that physio for burns is a very specialised field, though he鈥檇 be happy to have a chat with her about the treatment. He pays Lynda a visit and explains that Robert asked him to call in on her. Later, Lynda lets loose on Robert. What does he think he鈥檚 doing, interfering with her treatment and trying to replace her physiotherapist without even consulting her? Lee will think she鈥檚 weak. If that鈥檚 Robert鈥檚 idea of support, he may as well not visit at all. Moved to tears, she asks him to leave her alone.
