Characters: Adam, David, Jennifer, Phoebe, Roy, Ruth

• A chastened Roy calls at Home farm in an attempt to see Phoebe, but meets with a rather frosty Jennifer, who informs him that Phoebe is in bed; she is overtired and stressed so is taking the day off college. Roy claims to feel bad that she is at Home Farm. He wants her back at home where she belongs.
• Ruth’s spirits seem ever higher as David’s sink ever lower. He has had a restless night worrying about how to transport their milkers to Prudhoe. Ruth airily tells him there are firms that do that. Later Ruth finds David clearing out old files. He finds the mortgage deeds for Phil’s purchase of Meadow Farm, and it saddens him to think how Phil and Dan spent all their lives building up the farm that may now be broken up and sold. What would Phil think of their plans?
• As Adam brings the ewes into the barn for the winter, he is joined by Jennifer and Phoebe. Adam seems annoyed by Charlie’s disappearance from the Ambridge scene.
• Phoebe goes with Jennifer to the shop where they encounter Lynda. Jennifer manages to divert her from asking Phoebe why she is at Home Farm by asking Lynda how her FLOS audition went. With magnificently dismissive sniffs, Lynda is forced to tell them that all she was offered was the job of prompting. Since FLOS has ignored her skills and talents, Lynda has decided that there will be an Ambridge Christmas show after all, starring and directed by one Lynda Snell. If it was good enough for Gielgud and Olivier it will be good enough for her.
• Adam meets David and Ruth, and mentions that he saw Graham Ryder at Brookfield; Ruth and David are forced to tell Adam what is going on. He hopes it never happens; he simply cannot imagine Brookfield without them.
• Roy returns to see Phoebe and apologises profusely to her, but Phoebe is having none of it. In no uncertain terms she tells him he is not her dad any more; he is pathetic. She hates him and is not coming home ever, so he can go away and leave her alone.
