Azra pushes forward with her Mental Health Initiative, and Pip has a nasty shock.

Azra gets Pat and Natasha鈥檚 input for the Surgery鈥檚 mental health initiative, and Natasha鈥檚 not impressed by Tom鈥檚 鈥渏ust suck it up鈥 attitude. Furious Tony interrupts them, demanding an explanation for the advert listing the dispersal sale of his Angus cattle. Azra鈥檚 caught in the middle before politely escaping. Pat reminds Tony that he did agree to this, but Tony reminds Tom that he was going to make the call himself when he felt ready. Tom finally confesses that Helen listed the cattle last week. Natasha joins Pat in helping Tony accept things. Later Pat and Tony reflect. Pat鈥檚 encouraging: Tony will find a new project. The farm is in safe hands and change is inevitable. Pat gives Tony a small gift 鈥 an Angus herd for his model railway. Softened, Tony forgives Pat for forgetting to tell him about the auction.

In the shower, Pip can feel something on her breast and gets Stella to help her check. After some uncertainty, they agree there is something there. Pip will call the doctor tomorrow, as it鈥檚 too late today, and they agree to keep things normal until then and not say anything to Rosie. With Rosie put to bed, they have some wine and chat 鈥 Stella knows about Ruth鈥檚 cancer history. Pip reflects on the past, and how little she has asked Ruth about her breast cancer. She compares herself to her mum, with a young child. Stella encourages Pip not to worry, and they agree there鈥檚 nothing they can do until tomorrow, when Pip will make an urgent appointment.
