David and Ruth spruce up Hereford heifer ‘High Heels’ ready for a wedding photo at the Brookfield Events Barn. Afterwards they sip some champagne given to them by the bride’s father and toast another successful Brookfield wedding. They agree that ‘High Heels’ would make a great show Hereford and David admits he’d like to do more showing as he gets nearer retirement. Ruth’s shocked he’s mentioned the ‘R’ word!At the Vets Surgery Paul makes an effort with Alistair and surprises him by offering an apology. Although he’s been struggling it’s no excuse for the way he’s been behaving and deliberately getting under Alistair’s skin. Later, on a stroll through nearby fields, Alistair admits he hates that he’s been instrumental in Paul’s parents’ break-up and causing him pain. Both Alistair and Denise hated keeping their relationship secret from Paul. Paul’s appreciative, although it all still really hurts. They’re interrupted by the sight of Justin in fancy dress on a horse. They can’t wait to see George’s videos! Alistair takes a call from Ruth saying there’s something wrong with one of their star heifers. Alistair and Paul then head over to Brookfield, where they discover that ‘High Heels’ has a bunched up crisp packet in her cheek, which she could have choked on. Sadly it’s a problem Alistair sees all too often. She must have eaten some discarded litter. Afterwards Ruth comments that Paul and Alistair make a fine team, as Alistair takes a call from his boss Don James. Don’s heard about Alistair and Denise and wants to see Alistair in his office next week.
