Henry finds himself in too deep and there’s a grand day out for the Grundy’s

It the day of the County Show, where Emma thinks it’s great that George is looking out for Henry. When George complains that Helen’s over-protective of him, Emma explains Helen’s back-history with Rob. Helen attacked Rob because she was provoked, and Rob was trying to take Henry away. Henry witnessed the whole thing. George is unnerved and when Henry reveals later that he’s waiting for Rob, tries unsuccessfully to head him off.

Eddie smells a rat when he makes a bet on a friend’s sheep herding. He asks Emma to watch the crowd to see if she can spot anything. Emma notices a woman with a silent whistle and manages to stop her distracting the sheep dog. It works and Eddie’s in the money. The event’s given Eddie an idea for another type of herding – turkeys!

Rob engages Henry in chat about his life and Henry presents him with a gift of a boat key ring, because Rob saved people in the Ambridge flood. When George tries to steer Henry away, menacing Rob says he’s sure Helen wouldn’t want to know that George had a hand in arranging today’s meeting. She might even sack him. Rob abruptly ends the call to Henry. He asks about Henry and Jack’s social lives and Henry mentions his upcoming swimming challenge at Borchester pool. Rob suggests a meet up with Henry and Jack, but Henry’s hesitant, saying it would just have to be with him, not Jack. When Henry tries to go, Rob tells him he’s dying. Rob’s tone changes as he sees Henry’s not acquiescent. But Henry’s adamant about not bringing Jack, and walks away.
