George surprises everyone, and Neil makes a difficult admission.

Oliver admires George’s bale stacking effort. It’s a fantastic achievement and George has raised a phenomenal amount of money. George says he starts his farm management course in the autumn – before Oliver knows it he’ll be a fully-fledged farm promotions company. Neil arrives to talk to George. Oliver thinks George should hear his granddad out. Neil praises George’s fete effort and invites him to tea. Neil hates all the bad feeling between them. George shocks him by declaring Oliver’s been more of a granddad to him than Neil. Neil tells Oliver he’s not sure George will ever come round, guiltily admitting he’s not an easy kid to like. Oliver thinks he’s being hard on himself, but Neil wonders why he’s the only grandparent who can’t connect with George.
Clarrie says Eddie’s holed up in the cider shed, stressing over lost Marvin. Emma reports her birthday meal last night was miserable, with Ed and George hardly speaking. The women resolve to keep looking for Marvin. George has offered to put an appeal online, meanwhile Eddie’s savagely dismantling the ferret wheel. George has news later that Eddie’s taking some positive action and starting a ring round to see if anyone’s heard anything. Emma tells George that Ed’s under pressure, trying to arrange some time off for Stella, so George needs to go easy on him. George agrees he will. Later he offers to drive a tractor for ±«Óãtv Farm, free of charge, to help out. Emma sees this as a kind of apology from George; he’s not a bad lad deep down.
