Tom’s shattered and Natasha thinks he should think about asking George back to help on the farm. She’s spoken to Emma who thinks George is genuinely sorry about the video. And Emma and Will have both had words with him. Tom thinks it’s up to Helen. They talk about Helen’s solicitor who’s clarified that Rob didn’t break his non-molestation order at the Leisure Centre, because he was in a public space when Helen saw him. Talk turns to the Tearoom and Natasha says it’s been an eye-opener helping there. She doesn’t think Fallon’s making the most of its potential. Natasha outlines things she would do to improve it, including using more of Bridge Farm’s products. Natasha doesn’t want to barge in and start telling Fallon how to run her business, but the Tearoom is an integral part of the wider Bridge Farm offer. It’s food for thought.
