The stress threatens to overwhelm Philip and Ben has romance on his mind.

The archaeology students descended on Brookfield at the crack of dawn. After dropping Freddie off to join them, Elizabeth catches up with Ruth. Ruth is excited about the possibilities of what could be buried at Brookfield. Meanwhile, Elizabeth asks if Freddie can get some health and safety pointers from Brookfield as he takes on the mantle of producing the village鈥檚 Christmas Show.
While at work, Philip fondly remembers camping trips when Gavin was a kid. But Gavin tells him he remembers those times very differently 鈥� he didn鈥檛 enjoy them as much as Philip thought. Then, as now, Gavin is always having to do things Philip鈥檚 way and he鈥檚 fed up. Philip defuses Gavin鈥檚 frustrations by telling him he鈥檚 proud of him and grateful for him taking all the flak.
At the end of the day Elizabeth catches up with Ben. He鈥檚 a little fed up; the students are a bit too focused on their task. Elizabeth suggests he just needs to get to know them better.
Kirsty is reporting the litter situation to the Wildlife Trust board. Philip is feeling down and asks Kirsty when their luck is going to change. Philip floats the idea of making a fresh start somewhere else. He doesn鈥檛 think he can take life as it is at the moment for much longer.
