The goslings go to pasture. Will Pip go to the game fair? David is reluctant to go down the road of hiring a contract milker. Rex gives Toby a warning.

Radio Times: The Fairbrothers walk out the goslings, and David needs a plan of action.

Characters: Carol, David, Jill, Pip, Rex, Toby

• Carol admires Jill’s gardening skills when she calls round for coffee. Jill tells her that Ruth will be home for a few days now that Heather has settled in Marvin House. David comes in, commenting that Pip is not milking because she has gone to walk the goslings out. Carol is quick to spot Jill’s discomfort with Pip seeing so much of the brothers, and tells her that she should try not to judge them by what happened fifty years ago. Jill retorts that their father had no moral sense, and Toby is the image of that father. He has charm and uses it.
• Pip is meant to stop any passing cars as the goslings cross the road, but her attention is elsewhere. Finally they arrive at their new pasture and Toby asks when he should pick Pip up for the game fair. Still playing hard to get, Pip points out that she has not yet said she is going, and anyway she is far too busy with harvest. Rex has strong words for his brother; he does not want to see Pip as yet another notch on Toby’s bedpost, and they need to remember that they are indebted to David; how will he feel if Toby breaks Pip’s heart? Toby assures him it is not like that. Pip has been around the block a few times, and now Toby wants to show her a good time. Yes, says Rex: that is what worries me.
• Jill tries to persuade Carol to join the WI in its centenary year. Carol flatly says it is not for her, but Jill persists. The WI has moved on, and they could do with Carol’s imaginative ideas for celebrating the centenary.
• Pip tries to persuade David to advertise for a contract milker now, so that it can all be in place when Ruth gets home. David is reluctant; he is still sore about the way Sam upped and left.
