The Archers - 26/06/2008

Fallon is trying hard to repair things with Ed, but it seems to be an uphill struggle. He's restless, and she can't help noticing how he reacts whenever Emma is mentioned. Times are difficult for the two of them. Lilian wants Matt to think seriously about tracing his birth mother. Matt is extremely resistant, thinking she is simply being sentimental, but Lilian thinks it would do him good. Adam is still very concerned about becoming Matt's whipping boy now that David and Ruth have pulled out of the anaerobic digester project. Brian hears him worrying about it and quietly goes to Matt. He tells him that if Matt increases the size of the digester, then Brian is not prepared to lease him the land for it. Matt can't believe it, but Brian stands his ground. Matt is furious, but when Brian tells Adam what he's done, Adam is really touched. Brian's a bit worried he's gone too far - what if Matt calls his bluff and they lose the digester altogether?
