Lilian’s finding lots of poignant reminders of Peggy while sorting through a box of her things. Tony doesn’t understand how old shopping lists can evoke fond memories, but Lilian sees each of them as telling a story. Lilian points out that Tony’s surrounded by his children and grandchildren, whereas hers are not only far away, but don’t need her like Peggy did. She feels lost without her mum. When Henry arrives he’s intrigued by a glass dolphin. Lilian declares he can keep it. Henry’s in charge of the goats for Open Farm Sunday – he’s planning on buying some leather halters for them when he gets his money. Tony asks what money he’s expecting and Henry thinks it’s from Peggy. Tony thinks Henry shouldn’t be talking about inheritance money, but Lilian disagrees. It’s only natural Henry should speculate. Besides, he’s missing his great grandma as much as she is. Tony apologises for snapping at Henry; he thinks they would all benefit from a family outing.

At Brookfield Rex wonders how David is after their ordeal at the abattoir. Pip maintains her dad’s his usual grumpy, stoical self, unlike Rex, who proved himself strong, brave and capable. Pip’s puzzled when Rex appears to defend Rochelle. He then questions what he’s doing with his life, wishing it had worked out differently. Rex doesn’t want to end up old and resentful, mulling over regrets. Later David surprises Pip by suggesting they need to do a major security audit at Brookfield, admitting he’d prefer it if they didn’t do Open Farm Sunday at all.
