About this episode

Eddie’s covering George’s work at Meadow Farm, and grumbles when George comes to check up on him: George is lucky he’s covered the work at all. George concedes he’s grateful. Eddie suggests he makes the most of the break while his wrist’s injured. George protests he’s restless staying in all the time and feels bad that Amber’s having to work right up until the baby’s born. He’s worried he won’t be fit in time to help out when the time comes. Eddie counsels that bad things happen and you just have to get on with it. He manages to persuade grateful Esme to pay him in cash, plus a little extra. Esme frets a little about having to fork out sick pay as well. Eddie asserts that her dad would be proud of the fine job she’s doing with the farm.

Keira helps Susan cleaning shelves at the shop, noting her Great Grandad Bert’s absence. Susan explains he’s playing dominoes at the pub. She admits to hoping she’d have her house back by now, but Brad’s still redecorating at No.6 The Green. Susan raises the topic of Monty, and Keira admits she doesn’t know what to do to help Khalil, who’s not sleeping. Azra comes in and Keira panics as Susan quizzes her on Khalil’s state of mind. With the two of them now leaning on Keira for answers she divulges Khalil saw pictures of the dead sheep on someone’s phone. She’s mortified to have betrayed this confidence. Susan assures her it was for the greater good.
