Ruairi attempts to negotiate, and Dane has a suggestion.
When Brian mentions the objectionable idea of Amber鈥檚 homecoming party for George, Alice wonders if that鈥檚 why he鈥檚 been flipping out recently. But Alice is more worried about Brian taking on too much at Home Farm and wants him to advertise for a new manager. Meanwhile, Ruairi has gone to sound out Stella about taking her old job back, so long as Brian agrees to retire. Stella reckons that鈥檒l never happen though, so it鈥檚 a no from her.
Having been accosted by several people about the poor job Grey Gables made of the Flower and Produce Show, Oliver tells Dane they need to get the village back on side. Dane thinks that time will heal the breach, but Oliver feels poor communication between different departments was the root cause. Which is why he鈥檚 considering Lily鈥檚 idea of a job swap - only they both know it would never work. But having staff shadow one another could be a goer, Dane reckons, especially if they introduce an element of fun. He鈥檒l come up with a plan, but leaving their jobs out of it as they both know all the other jobs already.
Later, Ruairi shows Brian and Alice the amazing castle in Scotland he鈥檚 found as a potential family holiday destination. They both think it looks perfect, but Brian鈥檚 mood darkens when Ruairi mentions Stella and retirement. Ruairi then admits his fear of losing Brian, like he鈥檚 already lost Siobhan and Jenny. So, he鈥檚 decided to come back for good to both Ambridge and Home Farm.
