Will chastises Mia for not giving appropriate notice on whether she’s staying at Grange Farm or at her dad’s. He wants her to write a letter of apology to Martyn Gibson which Mia doesn’t want to do. He also wants her to come with him to apologise to Stella and is surprised when Mia happily agrees. Mia genuinely apologises to Stella, who says a letter to Martyn won’t be necessary after she had a word with him herself. Stella compliments Will on his dog Kai. She’s hoping to get a dog of her own soon and is keen for training tips from Will. On their way back Mia wonders about Stella, and tells Will that she thinks Stella likes him. Will’s certain that Stella wouldn’t be interested in someone like him.
