Lottie and Pip share New Year’s resolutions over burgers and craft beers. Lottie clocks that Pip hasn’t got any goals that are solely for herself. Pip imagines Lottie’s work life is more glamorous than hers but Lottie assures her that farming is a lot more exciting than being an insurance broker. Lottie and Pip agree to fit more fun into their lives. Pip mentions they’re starting up a B&B at Brookfield and suggests Lottie tests it out. Back home, Pip reports to Ben that she feels like she’s been on holiday after her lunch out. Ben has also had a good time doing the milking. In more good news, Rosie’s had praise for the school project that Ben helped to create. Ben brings up the family’s conversation with Elena tomorrow. It’s been set up after Ben told Elena his parents were finding it hard. They share a laugh when Ben says he’s enjoyed doing normal, useful stuff again while Pip’s been told to do less of that and have more fun. Susan opens up to Neil about not feeling happy at the news of Tracy and Jazzer’s engagement. As the big sister she can’t help worrying – she’s the one who’s looked out for Tracy ever since their mother died. Neil reassures Susan that Tracy and Jazzer are a good match, and takes her to the Bull so she can apologise to Tracy. Tracy rejects Susan’s attempts to make amends. Susan persists but even with assistance from Neil, Tracy won’t listen to Susan’s explanations.
