Stella’s puzzling over whether or not to go ahead with the new drill. Who can she talk to now? Ruth acknowledges it’s hard, and agrees Stella needs to know where she stands. Later Stella asks Adam, and he approves the purchase – he’s glad Brian’s been won over to regenerative farming. He can’t see any of them being ready to get back to farming business for some time, so Stella’s free to take the reins. It’s fraught at Willow Cottage. Adam’s frustrated that Brian hadn’t spoken with Jennifer about any funeral wishes. Ruairi still feels guilty that he wasn’t around enough in recent months. Brian assures emotional Ruairi that Jenny understood, and was proud of him. David updates Ruth on the secret that was kept about Jennifer’s health condition. He’s worried, and goes to see Brian. Ruth spots Ruairi and invites him indoors. Ruairi declares he’s not getting involved in the blame game his siblings are playing. He hurt Jenny just by being born; he’s caused her only pain. Ruth points out the joy he brought Jennifer. But Ruairi feels he doesn’t deserve to grieve, and that he doesn’t belong in Ambridge. David finds pensive Brian at the spot where he proposed to Jennifer. He says it was Jenny who made their house a home – and he lost it. He believes the move to Willow Cottage was the final straw for his wife. David affirms it was family that mattered to Jennifer, not property. Brian can’t imagine how he’s going to go on.
