Kenton tells Elizabeth about Hilary Noakes's shed roof being set on fire from the fireworks. Kenton denies any involvement.

Helen and Pat discuss Peggy's 90th. Tony insists on properly marking it. There will be a party next Thursday on the actual birthday. They're putting together an album of songs from the 1920s onwards and Jennifer is creating a photo memory book.

Johnny's keeping busy shadowing sausage making with Maurice.

Jill explains to Kenton, Shula and Elizabeth why she's moving north with David and Ruth. Firstly, it's not favouritism. Being back at Brookfield, and feeling useful, has given Jill a new lease of life. But the main and only reason for going is that farming is so much a part of Jill's life. It's who she is. Kenton is critical of David for overreacting to the road news and rushing things. He's also concerned for Jill, and worried about not being able to see her, or at least not as often.

Kenton opens up to Shula. He's angry with David for putting Jill on the spot. She belongs here. Jill tells Elizabeth that her biggest regret will be not being around to help when they need her. But Jill steels herself. She's made her decision and just has to get on with it.
