A sensitive issue is raised at Bridge Farm and there鈥檚 optimism for the dairy
It鈥檚 good news at Bridge Farm after Helen gets the thumbs-up to re-open the dairy. But the bad news is that their sales figures since the closure are even worse than expected. Meanwhile, Tony鈥檚 not keen on Pat going to a demonstration against Borsetshire Water tomorrow at a shareholders鈥� meeting, although Helen defends Pat鈥檚 noble intentions. Tony鈥檚 also concerned about Henry wanting to learn to drive a tractor. Later, in the Edible Forest Garden, Tony admits to Helen how the thought of Henry on a tractor brings back terrible memories of how John died. Despite Helen鈥檚 pressing Tony鈥檚 not convinced Henry鈥檚 ready for it yet.
Susan and Clarrie are thrilled to be back working at the Dairy, especially when they find the brand new, bright pink wellies Pat and Tony have gifted them. Later, while enjoying just making cheese again, they reckon they鈥檙e ready for questions at the viewing window, even if they鈥檙e about the sewage leak. They talk about how Eddie鈥檚 drumming up more commissions for Brad to make George鈥檚 videos, though Susan reveals how concerned Tracy is about Brad neglecting his studies.
Having failed to get a helpful response from Borsetshire Water Emma鈥檚 determined to join grateful Pat at the demo, even if it jeopardises her position as Parish Councillor. Emma has an idea for costumes they can both wear too. Pat then shows Helen some ideas for slogans to go on placards. Helen says she鈥檚 definitely with Pat in spirit. They both wish Tony would come round to supporting them about the demo and Henry driving a tractor, but accept it may take time.
