David finds himself in a tricky situation, while Ruth has some advice for a fellow farmer.

Stella鈥檚 puzzling over whether or not to go ahead with the new drill. Who can she talk to now? Ruth acknowledges it鈥檚 hard, and agrees Stella needs to know where she stands. Later Stella asks Adam, and he approves the purchase 鈥� he鈥檚 glad Brian鈥檚 been won over to regenerative farming. He can鈥檛 see any of them being ready to get back to farming business for some time, so Stella鈥檚 free to take the reins.
It鈥檚 fraught at Willow Cottage. Adam鈥檚 frustrated that Brian hadn鈥檛 spoken with Jennifer about any funeral wishes. Ruairi still feels guilty that he wasn鈥檛 around enough in recent months. Brian assures emotional Ruairi that Jenny understood, and was proud of him.
David updates Ruth on the secret that was kept about Jennifer鈥檚 health condition. He鈥檚 worried, and goes to see Brian. Ruth spots Ruairi and invites him indoors. Ruairi declares he鈥檚 not getting involved in the blame game his siblings are playing. He hurt Jenny just by being born; he鈥檚 caused her only pain. Ruth points out the joy he brought Jennifer. But Ruairi feels he doesn鈥檛 deserve to grieve, and that he doesn鈥檛 belong in Ambridge.
David finds pensive Brian at the spot where he proposed to Jennifer. He says it was Jenny who made their house a home 鈥� and he lost it. He believes the move to Willow Cottage was the final straw for his wife. David affirms it was family that mattered to Jennifer, not property. Brian can鈥檛 imagine how he鈥檚 going to go on.
