George has plans, and Ben breaks some news to David and Ruth.

Ruth susses something鈥檚 up with Ben, who鈥檚 been asked by Lily about moving into Josh鈥檚 room at the Stables. He鈥檚 decided to say no, having seen how upset David and Ruth are about Josh leaving. They admit they are a bit sad, especially with the bad feelings involved. But they鈥檒l try to put things right and hope Josh comes round. As for Ben though, he doesn鈥檛 want to abandon them after they鈥檝e been so supportive through his darker moments. They saved his life. Ruth gets a funny message from Josh, then she and David tell Ben he should take the room if he wants to. Later, David and Ruth agree their kids are brilliant.

George asks Brian for the money he promised him and wants to tell Brian his business plan, which no longer involves drones. George persuades Brian to go for a walk, explaining he wants to invest in five rare breed ewes. A farmer has offered to put them to his ram for breeding. George will ask Esme to keep them at Meadow Farm, but one day George plans on having his own farm. Brian鈥檚 response is crushing: it鈥檚 not going to happen. They agreed the money would be for George鈥檚 drone business, not this. It鈥檚 far too risky. Brian can only see George coming back to him for more money and he鈥檚 not having it. Angry George accuses Brian of lying about the offer to pay him and threatens to expose Brian, who walks off.
