Alice is annoyed by Arun鈥檚 request to discuss a re-launch of GPS crop monitoring software. He was recently chosen over her for a promotion to manager. Meanwhile she鈥檚 waiting for a wine delivery to arrive. Alice rang Adam to ask for some cherries to make homebrew cherry brandy and hears about his picker problem. She thinks working for Pryce Baumann is a lot worse than struggling to find people for the cherry harvest. Then Adam asks her to ring round people in Ambridge to see if they will pick cherries.

Emma gives Alice short shrift about helping with the cherry harvest. Alice has only recruited Molly Button so far. Freddie鈥檚 unavailable and she doesn鈥檛 have Bert鈥檚 number. Her focus on finding pickers is interrupted by an email from the Pryce Baumann Managing Director.

Chris has had a commission off the back of the garden ornament he made for Harrison and Fallon鈥檚 wedding. Harrison鈥檚 friend Louis wants a tree sculpture for the birth of his baby. Chris thinks about the willow tree in the back garden at The Nest. Alice used to get Debbie to help her climb it until Jennifer found out. Chris decides on an oak tree for the commission.

Chris has a call from Alice and is amazed to hear that she鈥檚 quit her job. He thought she loved it but admits the office politics got her down. She sounded happier than he鈥檚 heard her in months. Meanwhile, Alice muses on what her MD said. He phoned to give her a pep talk. She doesn鈥檛 feel she鈥檚 being shown any respect so she鈥檚 taking her qualifications, expertise and contacts elsewhere.
