There鈥檚 an upset at Bridge Farm, and Amber is anxious.
The Bridge Farm Archers discuss the results of the broadly positive audit. The veg boxes are flying and the Tea Room鈥檚 doing okay after the sewage setback. The sausages are coasting, and both Dairy and Shop are doing really well. However, to Tony鈥檚 dismay, the Angus herd isn鈥檛 profitable and Helen suggests a possible alternative: they could buy in organic beef for the shop and caf茅, switch the herd to more Montbeliardes and thereby up production in the dairy. Sensing implications about his age Tony slams out. Later, he reflects gloomily to Pat that although Tom and Helen are the future of the farm, they need to remember what鈥檚 best for the land - and the people who live and farm it. It鈥檚 not just about maximising profit. He thinks they鈥檙e in danger of taking the soul out of Bridge Farm.
As Amber and George work on Eddie鈥檚 75th birthday slideshow, Will joins them but remains determined not to attend the party. He cannot forgive Eddie for how he treated George. Perhaps when George has his own child he will understand why Will can鈥檛 move on. Later, Amber reveals to George that she鈥檚 taken another pregnancy test. It鈥檚 positive, but she鈥檚 worried about tomorrow鈥檚 first scan, considering she鈥檚 had no recent pregnancy symptoms. She鈥檚 researched early pregnancy and knows there鈥檚 risk, so doesn鈥檛 want to get her hopes up. George tries to reassure Amber and Will boosts her by sharing memories of his children鈥檚 scans. He remembers Nic being worried but staying focused on being positive. That鈥檚 what Amber needs to do too.
