Pip and David discuss AI in farming, which they think can’t be ignored. Pip tells David that Stella’s mum is still coming to the wedding but won’t be walking Stella down the aisle. David offers his services instead of Stella’s mum. The weather forecast still isn’t good for the wedding and Josh messages to say he won’t be back from Patagonia in time.
Ruth wonders to David and Pip if Azra will keep up the hostilities forever, after a frosty meeting in the shop. David encourages Ruth not to give up, and to take Azra for lunch, which she does. Ruth apologizes again for showing Khalil the photos of the sheep. Although Azra is still annoyed with Ruth, she misses her friend and remembers how welcome Ruth made her feel when she first came to Ambridge. Reunited, they discuss the upcoming wedding.
Ruth asks Usha about Anna’s whereabouts, as she called round to Carol’s cottage over the weekend and Anna didn’t answer. Usha is keen to speak to Anna. Anna is still very angry with Alan, but agrees to a visit from Usha. Alan returning the money won’t be enough for Anna. Every time she tries to convince herself that Alan isn’t a bad person, the facts keep crashing back. Anna can’t believe that in her final days, Carol was betrayed by Alan. Anna’s stunned that Alan would have got involved in Carol’s banking when she’d specifically asked him not to. Usha defends Alan and says he’s not trying to hide anything. Later, Usha tells Ruth that the funeral upset was just a misunderstanding between Anna and Alan.
