Ed and Will weigh the Texel lambs. Will mentions Clarrie’s still trying to persuade him to allow George to have an eighteenth birthday party. Ed says Susan’s been doing the same with him and Emma. George must have been coaching them both. Delayed by planning for Bridge Farm’s big open day, Tom’s busy but Natasha has an important update on the Schaeffer Baas modelling job. Now she knows how much they’d be paid, Natasha doesn’t see how they can turn it down. Tom can’t get past how the company clashes with their organic farming principles. Natasha’s confident no-one would know it was Seren and Nova in the campaign. Tom needs more time to think. Later, Tom agrees to the job. Natasha reveals it’s on the same day at Bridge Farm’s open day. They’ll need to find a cover story but even then the family won’t be happy. Oliver brushes up on Lower Loxley facts for the tour he and Neil have taken on. He breaks off to ask George about his pig biosecurity college project. The more George talks, the more enthused he becomes. Oliver asks if George wants to follow in Neil’s footsteps. George is non-committal but is sure he wants to be in charge. George tries to persuade Oliver to agree to an eighteenth birthday party. Will and Ed overhear and insist there’ll be no party. Instead they’ll chauffeur him and his mates in the limo. Oliver tells Ed he’d like to offer George investment as a birthday gift. Ed’s stunned that Oliver’s willing to put up £5,000.
