Phil's knocked over a plant and is vacuuming the mess when Jennifer and Ruth call. He insists he doesn't need their assistance. When Adam wants to help, Phil's had enough of people thinking he can't cope on his own, although he is forced to take Adam's advice on emptying the vacuum cleaner. Thanks to a gust of wind Phil still manages to get dust everywhere. Debbie's in agreement with Matt for a bigger AD unit. Jennifer's worried about the village's reaction but Adam wants to cross that bridge if they come to it. Jennifer's still hoping Brian will agree to a holiday but Brian insists Adam can't manage harvest without him. Adam tells Jennifer that's rubbish - in fact it would suit him. It's been two weeks since the hate mail but Alan's still worried about Usha and suggests she spends a few days with Ruth. Ruth suggests the same thing but Usha knows this would be awkward for Ruth. Ruth tells Alan she's concerned about Usha, which convinces Alan it's time to do something. If Usha won't stay with Ruth, someone should stay with Usha and he thinks he knows who's best. He gets straight on the phone to Satya. Episode written by Caroline Harrington.
