About this episode
Upbeat Adam talks about his plans for Home Farm now he’s secure in the knowledge he’ll be taking over. Ian’s delighted for him, but rushes to get Xander ready for school. Helen and Kirsty compare notes on Dane and Erik, before Alice appears. Kirsty asks about Rex, who’s messaged her saying he’s not well. Alice is unsympathetic. Later, Helen tells Kirsty she doesn’t want Dane to move into the new house. She compares their relationship lightly to Kirsty and Erik’s, before declaring she needs to finish with Dane. Kirsty was about to say more about her and Erik but leaves it. Adam checks in with Brian at the farm, wondering if he’s made an appointment with his solicitor yet. Brian won’t be rushed though, mocking Adam’s ambition, which makes Adam question Brian’s intentions. Brian reacts skeptically to Adam’s ideas for diversification, talking instead about sticking to long-term plans, then telling Adam he may have spoken too soon about handing the farm over. When Adam pushes the issue Brian stuns him, spelling out that he’s changed his mind and refuses to commit to Adam over and above Ruairi and his sisters. Alice tells Ian about Rex’s drunken antics and how he hasn’t stopped apologising since. Rex has pledged to give up drink, but Alice doesn’t want him overreacting and making a huge issue of it. Adam comes in and fulminates against Brian for reneging on their agreement, only just managing to cover in front of Alice what the terms of that agreement were. For Adam, the situation is unsustainable and something’s got to give.
