Abbie comes home. Will’s problems escalate with another dead bird.

Radio Times: Will and Eddie bury the truth.

Characters: Brenda, Eddie, Hayley, Mike, Roy, William

• At Willow Farm here is a surprise party organised for Hayley’s birthday and Abbie’s home-coming. Mike and Brenda are just perusing the red kite report in The Echo when Will arrives with the key to No. 1 The Green. Will notices the newspaper and Mike, caught on the hop, opens his mouth and puts his foot in it.
• Hayley finds it strange that they will be walking out of the hospital for the last time. The staff have been so good to them but they are really not going to miss it.
• Eddie has time to spare so decides to keep William company for a couple of hours. He has seen the paper too.
• Back home, it seems quiet at first but Hayley soon discovers that the family are assembled under a “Welcome Home Abbie” banner, ready to toast their new member.
• Eddie is trying hard to make Will count his blessings and was doing quite well until they came across a dead buzzard, poisoned no doubt. Eddie’s solution is to bury it and forget they ever found it. Will is convinced that this can’t be just a coincidence; someone is behind it and his job is on the line. They have buried this bird but there may be more; it’s not over yet.
