Justin is hosting the local farmers, and Roy is lonely at Christmas.
At Justin's shoot, Charlie tells him who's who and David finally gets to meet the big man himself. The men get into the spirit of things and enjoy a sumptuous lunch from Jennifer. Brian's not quite as upbeat as Justin. When they raise their glasses, he decides to pace himself. David has a successful morning shooting and Justin toasts the gathered farmers, wishing good sport to "good friends and neighbours".
Jennifer's looking forward to having Kate home. She hopes Kate can build bridges between Roy and Phoebe. Jennifer asks David about Ruth's mother - and schools - up north.
Justin is keen to visit Brookfield with his architect. David reluctantly agrees to a visit after Christmas.
Charlie is keen to know more about Tom and Bridge Farm's organic operation, which he sees as niche farming. Charlie asks Brian about Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Farm's plans. Brian hints that he could decide to move into a new direction. Charlie is disappointed that Adam isn't around today.
At Grey Gables, Roy isn't in the party mood. Roy phones Hayley, desperate to sort out when he can have Abbie over at Christmas. Hayley awkwardly says he'll have to come to Birmingham. They discuss presents. Roy will get Abbie and Phoebe whatever they want. Roy rings off and trudges back to work.
