George tells Amber his big surprise for the baby should be ready tonight. Amber’s been putting off asking her dad to take the trade stand at Borchester Show but George persuades her to go for it. Later, Amber thinks the upcycled Grundy family cot George reveals is gorgeous, before Bill replies belatedly to her message about the trade stand, asking her to meet for a talk. Seeing George fly his drone over the Green Adam baits him with remarks about Brian backing him and how well he’s recovered from the attack. George has heard Brian’s ‘lost it’, then mentions New Year’s Eve, realising Adam knows Brian was there. George mentions Ruairi confessing to the attack, and presumes Adam will try to protect Brian, like Ruairi. Adam denies this, wishing George well. Later, Adam helps Kate and Alice prepare Xander and Martha’s sleepover. Adam declares he’s done with fighting for control of Home Farm, revealing that Brian passed his mental capacity test. Alice is hugely relieved Brian hasn’t got dementia, but Adam felt like Brian enjoyed crushing him. When Brian arrives, ready to babysit as previously arranged, Adam tells him to go home, swapping barbs before Brian leaves. Alice and Kate try talking Adam round from shutting Brian out of Xander’s life, but Adam’s determined to protect his son. Brian returns after Adam’s gone out, but Kate can’t let Brian say goodnight to Xander, under instruction from Adam. Since Brian’s the winner of this family feud maybe he needs to think if it’s really worth it?
