Plot[]
Annie and Dolly and Matt and Joe speculate whether Sam is going to pop the question to Nellie. Henry tricks Amos into giving Dolly back her place on the coach trip. Matt talks to Dolly about how he, Joe and Henry built the farm back up after Jacob died. He explains that he took over Peggy's share when she died and is thoughtful when she makes reference to him selling it. He realises that if he chose he could sell his share to Henry or the bank rather than letting a stranger into the family. Sam is annoyed when the coach is late as all the elderly residents wait to embark on the trip. Sam is disappointed when things go wrong at the trip. He has a heart-to-heart with Nellie on a bench.
