- Early ITVX episodes show a suspected bovine TB case prompting herd testing and movement restrictions at Butler's Farm, worsening its fragile finances.
- Joe Tate increases pressure to buy the farm as buyers seek discounts following the TB scare, heightening takeover tensions.
- Sarah becomes entangled in a car-theft scheme with Cain that begins to unravel when Jacob Gallagher confronts them in scenes released early.
- Official previews indicate Cain prepares to speak to Moira in prison before informing the wider family, and Natalie J Robb says the storyline aims to raise prostate cancer awareness.
