Ruth has a happy birthday. But Brian's not happy with Borchester Land.

It's Ruth's birthday. David, Jill and Ben surprise her with breakfast in bed. Ruth remembers that it was on a birthday that she received her cancer diagnosis. She and David have come through a lot together.

Injured kitchen project manager Buddy turns up in neck brace and sling. He assures Jennifer he's still able, but his unprescribed pain medication has him away with the fairies.

At a board meeting, Charlie questions Debbie's ability to manage the farm long distance - impossible for anyone. Brian struggles to defend the situation, but the rest of the board is sceptical. Annabelle tables some development opportunities Justin has in mind for the Estate.

Outraged Brian reports back to Jennifer. They anticipate big opposition from the village to another anaerobic digester and a solar farm.

At Brookfield, the refugee sheep go home to Worcestershire at last.

Ruth and Jill visit the beehives and take a birthday tea out to the hay field. David looks forward to Midsummer Eve next Tuesday and suggests celebrating with a bonfire. A party on Lakey Hill will get the community rallying round. Jill finds it hard to believe that someone wants to destroy the perfection they currently enjoy.
