Stella advises Brian that this year should be their last cherry harvest as they’re no longer cost-effective. She puts forward a convincing argument and Brian agrees to let Adam know. When Pip tells Ruth she can’t afford to take Rosie away in the school holidays, Ruth suggests camping. Pip’s not sure Rosie would enjoy it, so Ruth suggests having a practise at it first. Later when Pip tells Stella about her trial camping plan, Stella’s so enthusiastic about camping, that Pip asks her to join them. George is still surly with Emma and Ed and they ask him to apologise for calling Emma a slut. George says it was a shame, but they have to realise the pressure he’s under. Everyone reckons he’s a trailer-trash freak. He thinks that’s part of the problem; they’re all packed into Little Grange, so it’s no wonder things blow up. Ed suggests turning George’s gaming den in the farmhouse into his bedroom. Emma’s not sure about George moving out, but Ed says he’ll only be across the yard. Emma muses that Hannah has a point about how George is with women. When Will hears about the possibility of George moving, he thinks it could be a good thing. It would mean he and George could spend more time together, in the farmhouse. But when Will discusses it with George, he doesn’t think it’s the best solution. George was thinking of a fresh start at Number One, The Green. Will could throw Hannah and Johnny out, then it could be George and his dad, together.
