Brian apportions blame, and Emma makes a stand.
Emma hopes Jim will be able to come up with a way to stop Damara building fewer affordable houses than promised. Jim's research reveals that, unfortunately, what they've done is legal. He agrees with Emma that that doesn't make it right. Emma doesn't want a miracle, just a fair chance to own her own home. Emma's determined to do something, and Jim advises her to try and embarrass Damara with bad publicity.
Josh has decided with some reluctance that his business will start paying rent to Brookfield - at the start of the next financial year. That way he'll have time to calculate his annual turnover, and Ruth and David won't have to worry about overcharging him. David accepts his kind offer, and suggests that, in the meantime, Josh pays them a percentage of his commission. They wouldn't want him to feel he was taking advantage.
Brian blames Ruth for Jennifer's change of heart over selling the farmhouse. Ruth insists that she only told Jennifer that selling the house was a possibility - she didn't recommend it. Brian accepts that Ruth never intended to influence Jennifer, but the result is still the same. In his opinion Ruth has overstepped the mark, and Ruth promises to keep her mouth shut if the subject comes up at the meeting on Friday.
