Anisha asks Alistair if he's made a plan to buy her out, and is shocked to hear he's spoken to a solicitor. She drew his attention to the 'bad leavers' clause in the partnership agreement, which might substantially reduce what he has to pay. Anisha doesn't understand - surely that's for cases of gross professional misconduct? Alistair insists that he's merely doing everything he can to save his business.

Peggy suspects that something is wrong at Home Farm, forcing Debbie to lie about her reasons for staying. Debbie admits to Alice that it's hard not to be able to tell her about the house sale yet. Alice feels like Debbie and Adam have lost respect for Brian, but she and Debbie try not to spoil their ride by arguing. Alice catches Lilian at The Stables and tells her about the house sale - she hopes Lilian can help stop them making this terrible mistake.

Lilian confronts Jennifer about the house and blurts it out to Peggy. She and Lilian assume this was Brian's idea, but Debbie confirms that Jennifer was the real driving force. Lilian and Peggy offer to help pay for the clean-up, but Jennifer firmly refuses. They've made their decision and they don't need charity. Debbie thinks she's being very courageous - she's backing Jennifer all the way.
