Brian tracks down David at Brookfield. He reveals that Borchester Land’s offer to the rewilders is an attempt to “greenwash” the environmental damage of a planned development elsewhere. And Justin has put a clause in the contract so the re-wilders have to consult BL on any future plans. David decides to speak to Pip, but promises not to reveal that Brian tipped him off.
Borchester Land hosts a swanky reception for the rewilders, to celebrate signing their contract. Justin floats the idea of a name change to “Borchester Land Rewilding”. Pip can’t believe his cheek, but Rex isn’t surprised. In Justin’s speech he thanks Peggy in particular. During the speech David takes Pip to one side. When he tells her everything he’s found out Pip guesses that Brian’s the informant. Pip’s shocked when David reveals that Brian told Phoebe everything last week. Justin asks if there’s a problem. David declares that his daughter won’t be signing the contract. But he’s too late. Justin threatens to remove David if he can’t be civil.
Pip’s furious that Phoebe didn’t pass on Brian’s warning. Peggy diplomatically gets Rex to take Phoebe out for some air. Justin and Martyn overhear that Brian has been passing on confidential information to Phoebe and David. But Justin is smugly confident. The paperwork is signed. There won’t be any problems.
