Pip hones her farming skills. Jill worries about Shula.

Radio Times: Jill’s maternal instincts come to the fore.

Characters: Alistair, David, Jill, Phil, Pip, Ruth

• Ruth finds Jill checking her hives. She’s concerned at their lightness; maybe the bees haven’t produced much honey.
• Phil gives David a hand erecting hurdles ready for lambing. Pip arrives home, wanting to do the milking, but David makes her clean feed troughs. She has to learn that farming is all about hard graft. Meanwhile Ruth goes to take Usha to Casualty; she’s fallen while out running and hurt her ankle.
• Pip delivers a lecture on the need to encourage bird life on the farm, and thinks David should urge the NFU to do the same. He reminds her of the need for balance. As they go to check on a cow that’s recently calved, they find that she’s gone down. It looks like Mastitis and E-Coli. Pip helps David to administer anti-biotics intravenously while they wait for Alistair
• Jill’s tension has reached Phil’s notice, and he patiently tries to get to the bottom of it. At first she claims it’s the possibility of losing her bees colony to disease, but eventually she admits it’s Shula. Phil tries to reassure her, but Jill is clearly worried.
• Alistair arrives at Brookfield, and tells Pip she did an excellent job. The cow is very sick, however, and may not survive.
