Joy and Leonard enjoy their walk up Lakey Hill inspecting the footpaths and reminiscing about street parties gone by. Suddenly Joy spots one of David’s very graphic notices about the dangers of neospora. She’s shocked. Leonard starts to dismantle the sign just as David approaches. Leonard explains to annoyed David that he feels the notices are inappropriate, but David counters that the reality of the image is exactly what farmers can face if people don’t heed the signs. They start to argue, and Joy intervenes. She agrees with David on this as it happens. It’s an important message. She persuades the men to apologise to one another, and David agrees to put the sign somewhere more unobtrusive.
Rex needs an explanation from Rochelle as to why she cancelled on him. She assures him she likes him and isn’t playing games. He’s not the problem. Before she can expand on this Rex moves in to kiss her. He can’t get her out of his head, and wonders if this could be a thing. Later Rex admits his heart rules his head in romance – when he’s in he’s all in. Rochelle rows back on their earlier moment, saying she just wants some fun. She can’t commit to more; she might have to leave Ambridge soon. Rex isn’t up for a casual arrangement, and he doesn’t want to start something that doesn’t mean anything. He finds her tricky to read – perhaps it’s good they’re being honest with each other now. They agree to park things as just friends.
