Brian meddles in his children鈥檚 lives, and Ben and Azra have a plan.

Azra鈥檚 grateful to Ben for coming into work at short notice and as he eats a late breakfast they discuss Azra鈥檚 fasting. He tells Azra about Josh鈥檚 upcoming working holiday in Patagonia and the possibility of moving back to the Stables. Ben feels ready, despite the slight memory of his breakdown. They then talk about this year鈥檚 big push on mental health awareness. Later Ben reports he鈥檚 contacted Radio Borsetshire; they鈥檝e suggested doing a live interview with Azra next week, linking it with their own mental health campaign. Azra鈥檚 nervous about getting her message right, but thinks a call to action might be her best approach.

While Jakob attends to a horse with Alice, Brian pops by and notes Rex has a spring in his step. Jakob admits he knows Alice and Rex are an item.

Brian鈥檚 keen to check in with Ruairi, while Alice suggests Ruairi鈥檚 a bit down because of Paul being away. They discuss Miranda鈥檚 purchase of Home Farm and debate where to plant a Mother鈥檚 Day rose for Jennifer. Brian compliments Alice on looking so well, smugly taking credit for her and Rex. Brian鈥檚 worried about Kate and talks to Jakob. Limited to video calls with Phoebe, Brian鈥檚 convinced Kate wants to live in Scotland, nearer her daughter and granddaughter. He鈥檚 keen to check with Jakob how he鈥檇 feel if Kate admits she wants to move. Jakob isn鈥檛 averse in theory, but as Kate hasn鈥檛 mentioned anything to him Jakob admits a slight panic and wonders whether Kate even wants him to go with her.
