Eddie confides in Oliver about his and Clarrie’s worries over their future, even though Eddie knows it doesn’t excuse their behaviour. Oliver says he’s a farmer at heart and no farmer likes to sell land. When Eddie wants to know if Oliver will have to sell any more land, Oliver explains he hasn’t any plans, but he can’t predict the future. Later Oliver tells Eddie he’s been thinking about their situation. He knows rents are prohibitive and suggests looking into Almshouses as a future option for Clarrie and Eddie.

Shula arrives at The Stables. Lilian’s surprised to see her, but Shula tells her she had to change her plans when she found out that Lilian had been deliberately misleading her. Shula could just about countenance investing in a Horse Spa, but an international outdoor arena is madness. Lilian says she would have discussed the plans with Shula next week when she came back. Shula responds that would only be after the land had been bought and it was a done deal. Shula’s lost trust in Lilian and is vetoing the plans for the arena and the purchase of the land. Shula also wonders if she should pull out of her arrangement with Lilian and Justin at The Stables, as they clearly have different ideas about the business. Later Alice seeks out Lilian who accuses her of telling Shula. Alice says the only people who knew were Lilian and Justin. She would never talk to anyone outside of the business. Lilian says that Justin has gone too far this time.
