Summary

Bert and Lynda arrive for the shop volunteer taster session – Lynda to see if anything’s changed since her last stint. She is critical of the shop’s layout and Bert adds niggles – the strength of the door and the volume of the bell. Lynda decides it’s not changed enough to entice her back. Susan is surprised that her father wants to volunteer, and that the change of scene he’d longed for was company at the shop, not a change of house. She doesn’t think he’s quite suited to being a volunteer. But why not become Susan’s personal assistant and keep her company sitting at the counter? Lynda is pleasantly surprised when Fallon agrees to join the fete committee. Fallon is looking forward to a homecoming staycation with Harrison. They’ll also be celebrating his new dream job, finally becoming a Rural Crime Officer. Ian turns up unexpectedly at Home Farm to address with Brian what Adam is owed from the partnership. Brian is pleased to hear that Adam’s not pursuing a legal case, but doesn’t see anything else to discuss. Ian claims that Brian has always kept Adam at arm’s length. Brian disputes this – he raised him as a farmer and gave him every opportunity, but was stabbed in the back. Ian blurts out that he knows about Ruairi and George – and that proves what Brian has done for a son he really cares about. Ian threatens Brian with telling George the truth, unless he gives Adam what he is due.
