Val (Charlie Hardwick) organises a surprise party for Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) at the pub and persuades Jo (Roxanne Pallett) that it will be a good idea. Meanwhile, Andy meets Jake (James Baxter) and says he will see what he can do about keeping him on at the farm. An innocent Val later asks Andy what’s happened to the other bloke who’s been helping round the farm, Charlie (Michael Keogh). Shock turns to anger and suspicion. Has Andy's happy homecoming just turned sour?When Ashley (John Middleton) suggests that they move some of Daniel’s belongings into the loft, too tired to argue, Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) agrees. A relieved Ashley holds her close but she remains detached. As they pack his things, Gabby (Annelise Manojlovic) asks if she can have Daniel’s height chart and Ashley agrees causing Laurel to walk out abruptly. Later, Ashley returns from the service and, seeing Laurel looking at the height chart on the table, suggests they use pencil marks on the door frame instead but Laurel accuses him of patronising her. As Gabby reaches for a biscuit, she knocks a glass of juice all over Daniel’s chart and Laurel explodes at her. Driven to defend his daughter, can Ashley's patience with Laurel hold out?
