Description
Emma bumps into Ian at Bridge Farm shop, gets flustered, and leaves before he can make conversation. When Tony asks about the PTA meeting Ian mentioned Ian admits he’s become a bit too involved. But he feels duty bound now, having submitted a lot of the ideas himself. He just needs to break the news to Adam…
Pat offers Susan a friendly ear, having heard from Clarrie about Eddie’s outburst, but Susan plays it down.
There’s an emergency meeting planned at Bridge Farm, but Pat’s thrown when Tom gives her zero notice of a booking Natasha has taken from Felpersham Local Produce Society. Susan has all the details though and steps up to lead the cheese-making demonstration. However, after a confident start, Susan falters and Pat has to take over. Afterwards, Susan admits how things have got to her, not least Eddie’s outburst. Pat sends her home, reassuring Susan that doesn’t have to deal with this on her own.
At the emergency meeting, Tony, Tom and Pat try to fix the Bridge Farm staffing puzzle, but something has to give. They agree they can’t compromise on milking, so Pat decides they’ll hire in a contract milker and the others agree.
Later, Pat checks on stressed Susan, who opens up on her fallout with Eddie, having played it down to Neil. George is not doing well and won’t speak to Emma. Emma arrives, surprised to see Pat. She gets upset and apologises. Pat is supportive though, telling Emma to stay strong, before she leaves. Whereupon Emma breaks down in Susan’s arms.
