Henry finds himself in too deep and there鈥檚 a grand day out for the Grundy鈥檚

It the day of the County Show, where Emma thinks it鈥檚 great that George is looking out for Henry. When George complains that Helen鈥檚 over-protective of him, Emma explains Helen鈥檚 back-history with Rob. Helen attacked Rob because she was provoked, and Rob was trying to take Henry away. Henry witnessed the whole thing. George is unnerved and when Henry reveals later that he鈥檚 waiting for Rob, tries unsuccessfully to head him off.

Eddie smells a rat when he makes a bet on a friend鈥檚 sheep herding. He asks Emma to watch the crowd to see if she can spot anything. Emma notices a woman with a silent whistle and manages to stop her distracting the sheep dog. It works and Eddie鈥檚 in the money. The event鈥檚 given Eddie an idea for another type of herding 鈥� turkeys!

Rob engages Henry in chat about his life and Henry presents him with a gift of a boat key ring, because Rob saved people in the Ambridge flood. When George tries to steer Henry away, menacing Rob says he鈥檚 sure Helen wouldn鈥檛 want to know that George had a hand in arranging today鈥檚 meeting. She might even sack him. Rob abruptly ends the call to Henry. He asks about Henry and Jack鈥檚 social lives and Henry mentions his upcoming swimming challenge at Borchester pool. Rob suggests a meet up with Henry and Jack, but Henry鈥檚 hesitant, saying it would just have to be with him, not Jack. When Henry tries to go, Rob tells him he鈥檚 dying. Rob鈥檚 tone changes as he sees Henry鈥檚 not acquiescent. But Henry鈥檚 adamant about not bringing Jack, and walks away.
