There’s a change of plan at Grange Farm, and Brian has something up his sleeve.

Out walking with Miranda, Brian makes an excuse to get away for a bridge tutorial with Martyn, something Brian’s keen Miranda doesn’t find out about. However, when Brian arrives at Martyn’s house, Miranda calls and he has to cover with a story about Martha running him ragged. Martyn finds his subterfuge amusing, though Brian’s sure Miranda suspects something. In the tutorial itself, tetchy Brian struggles with the basics of bidding, much to Martyn’s frustration. Brian admits he’s not the easiest of people to teach, and Martyn suggests another session on Tuesday.

Over at Grange Farm, it’s Keira’s birthday party. Despite Eddie’s best efforts, Clarrie can’t stop fussing around, wanting to keep busy. She’s dreading the prospect of her last day at the Dairy and how the family will cope without her income. Ed comes in and tells them about a lucrative tree surgery job that’s come up, but the customer wants it done tomorrow – the day they’re visiting George in prison for his birthday. Ed assumes they’ll have to turn it down, but then George rings to wish Keira a happy birthday. He’s looking forward to Ed and Emma visiting, though Will can’t make it. George susses something’s up, and Ed admits they’ll lose work tomorrow because of the visit. George has a suggestion. As money is tight with Clarrie losing her job, why doesn’t Eddie visit him instead, so Ed and Emma can still do the job? Eddie is quickly persuaded and promises to give George a birthday hug from Ed.
