Kate gets a wake-up call, and Ruairi is feeling side-lined.

On a walk through the rewilding site, Jakob notices Kate is more upbeat. Kate is inspired by the photograph of her when she was at a protest in her eco-warrior days. It was a photo that Jennifer had particularly liked and had framed. Kate wants to get back to being that fearless person and wonders when she lost it. When Jakob commends building her own business saying that it took guts, Kate’s dismissive. Later, when Kirsty mentions growing interest in Kate’s cold weather yoga classes, she’s surprised to find that Kate believes it should all be cancelled.

Kirsty relays her conversation with Kate to Alice, saying Kate sounded pretty definite. Alice says she’ll have a word. Meanwhile, Jackob tries to understand why Kate’s thinking of turning away from yoga at the rewilding. Kate explains she has to make some big changes in her life if she’s going to achieve as much as she did when she was younger. Jennifer’s death has been a monumental wake up call for her.

Ruairi tries to butter up Julianne in the hope she will take him along to an important business meal. He’s wrong-footed when she says she’s booked someone else to accompany her. Later, Julianne is kind to him but when Ruairi admits he cares for her, Julianne coldly says that he leaves her no choice but to end their arrangement. She orders Ruairi to leave. Upset, Ruairi calls Alice unable to decide what to do now Julianne has turned him away. Concerned, Alice implores him to come home.
