At The Bull Tracy and Jolene agree that George overstepped the mark asking for Ivy’s ring to give to Amber. Kenton wants to send Mick home from his unpaid duties as security guard, worried they’re overreacting to what happened with their cat Tortoise. But Tracy and Jolene reckon they should continue taking precautions. Kenton and Jolene look forward to providing cocktails for Tracy’s party on Wednesday, though Tracy insists she’s still not going.

Pip and Stella talk about farming matters and Rosie’s birthday party before heading to The Bull for lunch. Annabelle Schrivener keeps texting Stella, while Justin is avoiding answering Stella’s emails about the renewal of Home Farm’s contract with BL. Stella’s still hoping that the BL Board will persuade Justin to change his mind over taking the Estate land out of food production. Pip surprises Stella by asking if it’s okay for Rosie to call her ‘mum’, before they’re distracted by noisy motor bikes in the car park.

Jolene, Tracy and Kenton rush outside, joined by Pip and Stella, but the bikes have already roared off. Jolene discovers Kenton’s car has been badly scratched with a key, but thanks to Mick chasing the bikers off, other cars in the car park haven’t been damaged. Back inside Kenton downplays the incident, before Jolene tells him their CCTV cameras have all been smashed. Later Kenton orders some new ones, but still doesn’t want to make too much of the incident. Jolene though thinks it’s too much of a coincidence, after Kenton ID’d a member of Markie’s gang, insisting they keep Mick on as security.
