Adam helps Brian out at the Home Farm office. He tells Brian that he’s just been in touch with some people about potential contracts for autumn drilling, so they might hear something positive back soon. When Adam says he needs to head back to Bridge Farm, Brian lists all the things that need doing that Stella was across and Adam feels compelled to stay a little longer. They’re interrupted by Pat ringing wondering where Adam is. He’s supposed to be in the Dairy with Susan. Pat gives Adam ten minutes to get there. Later Brian admits to Adam that he’s written Stella a heartfelt letter of apology. She should receive it by post tomorrow.

Jolene wonders whether George offering to help track down Markie is a trap. What if George is being blackmailed? But Kenton reckons they should trust George and anyway it’s too good an offer to miss. When George rings he wants to ask Kenton something first – does Fallon still hate him, because he feels haunted by the whole thing. Kenton thinks Fallon doesn’t hate him, but obviously George isn’t her favourite person. George then explains how one of the inmate’s dads hates Markie and would love to see him and any accomplices banged up. Kenton shares what he remembers, and George promises to do what he can. Afterwards Jolene wonders if George might be at risk by getting involved. But Kenton thinks the main things is if George succeeds in helping to track down Markie and his accomplice.
