Alice drops a bombshell, and Ian has a drastic solution.

Ian asks Adam about his new boss, Christian. Adam declares him down to earth, and eager to learn more about farming. But is he prepared to listen, presses Ian. Eventually he squeezes out of Adam that Christian is a bit too hands-on and doesn鈥檛 always follow expert advice 鈥� probably the reason the previous manager left. And Adam is now seen by the other staff as part of the team that ousted their mate. But he鈥檚 sure it won鈥檛 always stay like this. However, on Ian鈥檚 prompting, Adam spots several missed messages from Christian, who wants him in on Saturday to discuss a new tractor. Ian thinks this is beyond the pale 鈥� it鈥檚 as bad as Home Farm was! Determined to find a solution that works, he suggests they might move closer to Danforth Barton Farm.
Chris and Martha have made a welcome home banner for Alice. Alice holds Martha tentatively, caught by how much she鈥檚 grown, and how much she鈥檚 missed. As Chris enthuses about her having more moments with Martha now, Alice warns him that every day is still a struggle for her. After dinner Chris gives Alice a memory box full of little snippets of Martha. Alice is moved by a drawing Chris has done. She can鈥檛 believe he could still do something like this for her after what she鈥檚 done. Chris asserts she鈥檚 different now. He wants her to move back home. But Alice won鈥檛. She has to recover on her own, and she can鈥檛 be with Chris any more.
