Joy finds Tony in low spirits at Bridge Farm, dreading the thought of Christmas and what would have been John鈥檚 fiftieth birthday on New Year鈥檚 Eve. He tells Joy they had a row shortly before Tony鈥檚 vintage tractor overturned and killed John. After Tony goes to see the beavers being released at Rewilding Ambridge, Joy tells Ruth and Pip they should cancel her idea for a Christmas village event. It would feel heartless after what Tony鈥檚 told her. Ruth suggests asking Pat and Tony what they think first, though. And when they ask Tony he thinks a Christmas Tractor Run through Ambridge sounds wonderful, but gets them to agree to consult Pat before they go ahead and start publicising the event.
Alice catches Rex up with what happened in Blackpool, then says she鈥檚 going to film the beaver release for Phoebe. Rex and Kirsty decide to get on with it, even though Justin鈥檚 not there. Tony arrives just in time, before the beavers disappear into the woods, and Kirsty and Rex hug each other. Then Alice realises she鈥檚 only filmed three seconds, though Kirsty points out there will be footage from the enclosure cameras. Justin finally turns up, in time for cake if not beavers. Later, Kirsty and Rex worry about Justin鈥檚 commitment, before he disappoints again by not showing any interest in footage of the release. But Alice is delighted when Rex offers to send her the footage, so Phoebe and Martha can see the beavers. Emotional Alice then hugs Rex, before it gets awkward and he goes.
