Kate confides in Adam, as Ambridge continues to party.

It's still New Year's Eve. Phoebe, Josh, Johnny and Pip are letting their hair down at the Young Farmers party. Things get a little messy between Josh and Johnny. Phoebe tells Johnny not to worry. Josh is probably just emotional because he's leaving soon. She remarks wistfully that Josh is lucky. His parents are so normal.
The lively atmosphere spills over into chaos when drunk Josh knocks over an ice sculpture with his dance moves.
At the Lower Loxley ball, Kate is hitting the champagne. Adam is concerned, and eventually Kate admits she's messed up. She's had another affair, and her marriage is over. But the real problem is that she married the wrong man. She doesn't miss Lucas. He's taken the children back to Johannesburg, but they're happy and settled so maybe that's how it has to be for now. And it means she has another chance here with Phoebe.
Adam's reluctance to party is noted by Charlie. He thinks Adam should try letting go. On the other hand, Kate and Charlie are getting on like a house on fire. Adam warns Kate off, telling her Charlie's not to be trusted. Kate counters that Charlie's fun. If she didn't know Adam better she'd say he was jealous. Don't be ridiculous, retorts Adam.
