Neil struggles under the weight of everything, and Kirsty has a tricky subject to bring up.
Helen鈥檚 at Bridge Farm, dropping Jack off for Pat to take to school, when Neil arrives. He鈥檚 taking a week off work at Berrow, but can鈥檛 bear the idea of doing nothing, so offers to help out at Bridge Farm instead. Grateful Helen sends him off on a task just as Kirsty turns up. While Helen toasts bagels Kirsty bemoans how difficult it is trying to get a mortgage for Willow Farm. Helen then suggests Kirsty could either sell the Beechwood house or move in with Helen and the boys, at least temporarily, but Kirsty can鈥檛 imagine ever living there again.
Clarrie spots Neil working and threatens to tell Susan about his turn yesterday, if he doesn鈥檛 make an appointment with the GP. Then Pat talks to Clarrie about the possibility of keeping goats for meat, in connection with a school project Henry鈥檚 doing, before moving onto Apple Day. Overriding Clarrie鈥檚 doubts about the Grundys holding such a public event Pat thinks it could be just what the family needs to bring them together. If Pat can get away she鈥檇 love to bring Jack, Henry, Nova and Seren along. Then Clarrie confides her concerns about Neil.
Later, Pat encourages Neil to take a break and talks to Helen about the dangers, particularly for men, of keeping stressful feelings bottled up inside. When Helen seeks him out Neil confides how hard it鈥檚 been for the family, coping with the fallout from George鈥檚 actions and imprisonment. Helen mentions the benefits of counselling, only for Neil to gently but firmly resist the idea, before heading off.
