Eddie surprises George, who’s sorting out old family photos at No 1 The Green. George awkwardly reveals he’s preparing a slideshow for Eddie’s 75th birthday. The memories make Eddie emotional, bringing home how close they’ve always been as a family, and how different things are now – what would Joe say if he were alive today? George insists it’s all been his fault. He regrets what he did to Ed, and what he said about Nic. He’d do anything to turn back the clock and be close again. Touched, Eddie can see he’s trying. He reckons they should put it behind them – after all, who knows how much time he’s got left?

Arriving to measure up at Home Farm, Miranda is surprised to find Ruairi, who’s been for a run and found himself there. Sensing he’s not himself, Miranda tries to cheer him with the news that the exchange should be in a couple of weeks. He can come in and have a look as the estate agent should be there. With work as an excuse, Ruairi leaves. Miranda later shares her concerns with Brian, who insists he’s looking forward to the move. Calling in at Berrow Farm, Brian demands that Ruairi tells him what’s going on. Distressed, Ruairi admits he can’t entertain living at Home Farm. For him it represents Jenny and his early life, and would only emphasise how disappointed she’d be in him now. Brian tells Ruairi to pull himself together because they’re definitely moving in, before embracing him and assuring Ruairi that they’ll be alright.
