Kirsty attempts to make the best of a bad situation and there鈥檚 panic at Brookfield.
Kirsty鈥檚 disappointed that Brookfield will be giving priority to wedding bookings when they re-open, which means her and Philip鈥檚 鈥榚ngagement鈥� party is way down the list. It鈥檚 so ironic that theirs is secretly a wedding reception. She鈥檇 have liked to give Philip some cheerier news; he鈥檚 so depressed and grouchy. She wishes later that she hadn鈥檛 told him. She thought he might be ok with it, but it upset him, and he had to apologise to her for snapping. She hadn鈥檛 realised how important their wedding was to him; it was the only thing getting him through the fallout from the Grey Gables explosion.
Josh films himself talking about how not to buy farm machinery, hoping it will help him sell his remaining stock. He needs the money to rebuild his egg business 鈥� he鈥檚 getting more requests than he can fulfil with his current number of hens. Scornful Ben laughs at his brother鈥檚 efforts. He reckons Josh鈥檚 online video was his idea in the first place. But Josh won鈥檛 take any advice from him on where or how to film it.
Ben goes to add a super to one of Jill鈥檚 hives and finds the bees have swarmed. He loses them while distracted by a call from Chloe. He goes in search of the swarm, buoyed by the prospect of making dinner for Chloe sometime, but equally nervous of what Jill will say if he doesn鈥檛 find the bees.
