Rex considers his options, and Susan puts on a brave face.

Rex calls Kirsty to the Rewilding site to discuss their future, following Justin鈥檚 volte face over funding. What will they do now the land and money has been guaranteed for five years? Rex鈥檚 left-field idea is beavers, to encourage biodiversity and provide a natural defence against flooding. Kirsty suggests talking to Tony, their farming consultant. Later, when Rex puts the case for introducing beavers to the local environment, Tony reckons they鈥檇 need to convince the whole of Ambridge about the benefits, particularly farmers suffering poor crop yields as a result of standing water over the last year. Rex admits there would be considerable costs involved, but argues the benefits would outweigh these in the longer term. Tony is basically for it, but wants another meeting once Rex has done more research to build his case. Kirsty鈥檚 already convinced, though. Rex could sell her anything with his passion.
At Ambridge View Emma tells Susan how bad she feels about Fallon, after taking her job - and about George, especially now she鈥檚 seen him in prison. Emma鈥檚 scared about the influence other prisoners could have on George, but Susan thinks George still has a good heart. Later, they both talk to Neil about how upsetting it is that George doesn鈥檛 want to see his grandparents and what they can do to protect him from bad influences while he鈥檚 inside. Neil then puts in another request to visit George, reports back later that he got a holding message in reply, but at least it wasn鈥檛 a flat refusal like last time. They鈥檙e both desperate to see him, whatever it takes.
