Pip and Rex try, unconvincingly, to reassure Phoebe ahead of her pitch to the BL board. In the meeting, Justin reports that they’ve had no progress with their development project plans, but that he’s still confident he can persuade the council to grant them permission. When the time comes for the rewilding pitch, Brian excuses himself from the proceedings. Phoebe’s confidence is knocked when she realises Brian can’t cast a vote or be present for her pitch.
While the board seem receptive to Phoebe’s ideas, Martyn Gibson is less positive. Justin then catches Phoebe off-guard by asking her in-depth questions that she wasn’t prepared for. The board agree to come to their decision by the end of the week. After the meeting, Martyn tells Justin that he thinks the rewilding scheme is a non-starter. Justin thinks they should keep a close eye on the rewilders as they may prove useful.
Pip and Phoebe are concerned that they will have to give up on the BL land. Rex thinks they need a back-up plan: to target Justin Elliott.
