There's something nasty in the bird hide at Arkwright Lake and Brian has cold comfort for the BL board.

Brian has to break the bad news to the board - that Matt Crawford is the owner of the strip of land they need to buy in order to proceed with the market development. He's demanding a very good price for it, and wants Lilian on the board as part of the deal. Brian reckons they should call his bluff - offer him a good price, but refuse to have Lilian anywhere near the board. After discussion, they agree, and Brian just hopes that Matt's bluffing too.

Lynda and Bert find the new bird hide on Arkwright Lake in a state - it's clear some teenagers have been partying there. Furious, they clear it up. Lynda sounds off to Clarrie about it. She blames the parents.

Joe is looking forward to his birthday - and to the Flower and Produce show now that he's been asked to judge. Bert has strong reservations about the choice. He tells Joe he wants the judging absolutely scrupulous. Joe tells him not to worry. It will be.
