Harrison and Paul aren’t enthused when Lynda suggests a cut-price cheese tasting event to mark Eurovision. Harrison gasps when Paul calls Lynda’s idea boring. Paul proposes scaling down the original variety show idea instead. They discuss how it could be done on a shoestring budget by pulling in a number of favours. Lynda suggests they let people choose the country they want to represent with their acts. She’ll make sure people don’t choose the same place. Later, in The Bull, Lynda tells Paul she’s made all the necessary arrangements with Jolene. Paul apologises for saying her idea was boring. Lynda assures him she wasn’t offended. In fact, she actually found his directness refreshing! Stella tells Adam she’s been asked to be a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding, but she can’t go because of her commitments at Home Farm. Brian hasn’t returned to work since Jennifer died and Stella feels she can’t ask for the time off. Adam counsels Stella, if she never takes any breaks she’ll burn out. He offers to look after her dog, Weaver, and pushes her to ask Brian to let her go. Later, Stella brings Adam a bottle of wine as a thank you. Brian has agreed she can take the time off and she can’t wait to tell her sister. Adam confirms they’d be very happy to look after Weaver, as Xander is obsessed with dogs. Stella has a nagging doubt, though. It’s a critical time of year on the farm and she’s just not sure Brian’s ready to return to work yet.
