Jeremy busies himself with a project close to his heart, inviting over a local birdlife expert to offer advice on how Diddly Squat can be more friendly to its winged residents. And while things get heated when that advice clashes Kaleb's tried-and-tested farming ways, all is soon forgotten when - with the harvest looming - the farm is rocked by some devastating news.
