Stella\u2019s got the day off and is working on her pitch for Borchester Land. She hopes to reason them into a green package to be proud of for the coming decades. Pip invites her to get some fresh air when she goes over to Grange Farm to see if there are any extra bales from haymaking. They find Neil and Ben relaxing in the sun while the tedder\u2019s being fixed. George is sunburnt from taking his shirt off to pose for videos of himself posted for Tilly Button\u2019s eyes. She keeps saying she\u2019ll come over but hasn\u2019t turned up yet. Neil comes across a stray cat and kittens in the stackyard and they all go over to look at them. When Ben wonders what to do with them, Neil counsels just keeping an eye on them for now. Eddie can probably find homes for the kittens. Stella\u2019s surprised when Pip can\u2019t get over how cute they are.

Paul tells Alistair that he\u2019s finished with Etienne \u2013 they wanted different things. Talk turns to Denise who\u2019s always been such a support for Paul. He had a great heart-to-heart with his dad on Sunday too. It made Paul realise that although he enjoys partying, what he really craves are cosy nights in with a special someone. He reckons his parents\u2019 relationship is such a great role model \u2013 he just wishes they\u2019d stop worrying about him. Paul wonders if they\u2019re the reason why he can\u2019t find \u2018the one\u2019. Perhaps he\u2019s aiming too high because his parents have such a great marriage. He goes, leaving Alistair feeling awkward.
