Kenton decides they need to have a serious talk. He tells Toby how much he wished he hadn't walked out of Meriel's life. Toby should ignore David.

Shula's keen to contact Latif. But Lilian hasn't heard from him either, despite expecting wedding congratulations. Lilian feels guilty - Latif's silence towards Justin and The Stables stems from her involvement with Matt. She offers to throw a drinks party for Latif and invite Shula and Alistair.

Jennifer wonders why Brian didn't mention the land recently acquired from Justin to the Environment Agency. She's convinced that it must be the source of the contamination.

Justin points out that that land had been farmed by Brian and Adam for years. The suggestion that he double crossed Brian makes him very angry. Besides, caveat emptor (buyer beware).
