Tony feels a failure. Tom feels buoyant. Jill feels vulnerable. Pat feels angry.

Radio Times: Tony analyses the situation, while Jill asserts her independence.

Characters: Elizabeth, Jazzer, Jill, Pat, Tom, Tony

• Unsurprisingly given the recent revelation of his impending wealth, Tom is in high spirits as he gives Jazzer a hand with the pigs. Jazzer moans about rain and flooded land, to the extent that Tom tackles Tony about field drainage, and gets a very sour response. Tom may have riches awaiting him but Tony has a swede supply crisis.
• As Elizabeth helps Jill fill in her insurance claim following the burglary, Jill is startled by a noise. It is only a carrier bag blowing in the wind, but Elizabeth realises that, despite the new locks and window stops fitted by Kenton and David, Jill feels vulnerable. She asks Jill to come back to Lower Loxley, while she gets on with planning the music festival, but Jill insists she will be fine.
• Tom boasts to Jazzer that soon all the old grazing land at Bridge Farm will be stocked with pigs. Jazzer assumed Jack has left him some money, but Tom tells him that will go to Hazel – but his gran has given him a clear signal that she believes in everything he is doing, so Tom can now grow his brand without worrying about the future.
• Tony is so quiet that Pat is forced to raise the question of Peggy’s bombshell. It seems that Tony feels a failure; Peggy mentioned how well Lilian and Jennifer had done for themselves, but ‘poor old Tony’ got no praise from his mother because he is not the man she wanted him to be. He recalls how disappointed he was when his father failed to buy him a toy car all those years ago, and how humiliated Tony felt. Pat wants to talk to Peggy but Tony insists they should leave it. Pat tries to cheer herself with the thought that Helen will have security for Henry.
