David makes a controversial decision, and Rex faces a dilemma.
Lilian鈥檚 finding lots of poignant reminders of Peggy while sorting through a box of her things. Tony doesn鈥檛 understand how old shopping lists can evoke fond memories, but Lilian sees each of them as telling a story. Lilian points out that Tony鈥檚 surrounded by his children and grandchildren, whereas hers are not only far away, but don鈥檛 need her like Peggy did. She feels lost without her mum. When Henry arrives he鈥檚 intrigued by a glass dolphin. Lilian declares he can keep it. Henry鈥檚 in charge of the goats for Open Farm Sunday 鈥� he鈥檚 planning on buying some leather halters for them when he gets his money. Tony asks what money he鈥檚 expecting and Henry thinks it鈥檚 from Peggy. Tony thinks Henry shouldn鈥檛 be talking about inheritance money, but Lilian disagrees. It鈥檚 only natural Henry should speculate. Besides, he鈥檚 missing his great grandma as much as she is. Tony apologises for snapping at Henry; he thinks they would all benefit from a family outing.
At Brookfield Rex wonders how David is after their ordeal at the abattoir. Pip maintains her dad鈥檚 his usual grumpy, stoical self, unlike Rex, who proved himself strong, brave and capable. Pip鈥檚 puzzled when Rex appears to defend Rochelle. He then questions what he鈥檚 doing with his life, wishing it had worked out differently. Rex doesn鈥檛 want to end up old and resentful, mulling over regrets. Later David surprises Pip by suggesting they need to do a major security audit at Brookfield, admitting he鈥檇 prefer it if they didn鈥檛 do Open Farm Sunday at all.
