David feels the strain, and Adam presses for answers.

While Ruth waits to hear from Josh, David moans about his Borchester Show workload, before going to meet George and Amber to discuss marketing ideas. George is nervous about making his pitch to David, hoping it will kick-start his business back into life and boost Amber鈥檚 ambitions. When David arrives, Amber leads on explaining their concept, with George chipping in. David thinks it sounds amazing but also wants them to promote farming generally. George suggests adding sweeping aerial footage, only he鈥檒l need to buy a new drone. David can鈥檛 pay him up front, but George assures David he鈥檒l find the money from somewhere. Later, George promises Amber he won鈥檛 do anything dodgy to raise the money but will earn it fair and square.

David reports back positively to Ruth, who tells him Josh doesn鈥檛 want to know the result if she has the BRCA test. Ruth understands Josh saying that, but it doesn鈥檛 help her make the decision whether to have the test in the first place. David thinks they should wait to see what Azra says at next week鈥檚 appointment, and try not to worry about it until then, while Ruth apologises for being snappy.

Lilian tells Adam she knows Brian reneged on his promise about the farm. Adam doesn鈥檛 know why he did and starts opening up, before they鈥檙e interrupted. Later, Adam suggests several reasons why Brian has something against him, assuming he鈥檒l never change. Lilian hints at another reason behind Brian鈥檚 volte face, mentioning Ruairi, then covers up, insisting Brian isn鈥檛 as callous as he seems.
