Synopsis:
Brian looks
to the future and Usha tries to make amends.
Brian tells Jennifer he's recruited someone called
Mark Winford to help out in Adam's absence. They watch the swifts nesting at
Valley Farm. It reminds Jennifer of her own brood. It's hard when her children
live so far away. Brian mentions that Valley Farm's coming up for sale. Perhaps
they could buy it to house the workers at the new dairy.
The atmosphere is still tense between Alan and Usha.
Usha points out it's good that Amy's sleeping now she's back home. Alan
counters that she should never have had to leave. He can't believe Carl could
have lied to everyone like he did. Usha says it's similar to criminals having
no idea of the damage they're doing, but Alan asks to be spared her insights.
He just wants to punch Carl. He loses his temper. When Usha consoles him that
this would be any parent's natural reaction he tells her not to make excuses.
She can't possibly understand what it's like.
Finally Usha herself snaps. She's made a mistake,
she's said she's sorry, and Alan has to forgive her. He knows she's right. But
when Usha finds Alan and Amy cooking later they refuse her help, and she leaves
them to it.
