David finds Stella taking time out from stewing over Justin鈥檚 plans for the Estate land. Stella admits she feels the whole mess is at least partly her fault. Despite David鈥檚 reassurance that things won鈥檛 turn out as badly as she thinks, Stella鈥檚 not convinced. Stella then confides how hard she finds being a parent to Rosie. David tells Stella she can always talk to him and Ruth whenever she finds things are getting on top of her, especially with Brian and Justin. He sympathises with Stella鈥檚 view that she just wants to be left to get on with farming. Whatever happens at the Board meeting on Friday, David tells Stella, she should keep her focus on that.

Emma compares Mia鈥檚 uncomplicated and carefree life with George鈥檚, stuck in prison and planning to marry someone he barely knows.
