Elizabeth shares some memories, and Tom makes a vow.

Jill is fed up of being told to take it easy. Elizabeth thinks she should be resting her ankle but acknowledges that her mum is a doer and not a sitter. Elizabeth takes Jill for a drive and tells her that Pip is still upset because Jill still hasn't properly thanked Toby for his help when she fell. Jill reminds Elizabeth that she of all people should know never to trust a Fairbrother. On their way back they stop by the Brookfield orchard and Elizabeth talks of Nigel. She says that however much she loved Nigel, she wouldn't keep someone new in his shadow - exactly the way Phil felt about Jill. But Jill still feels haunted by Grace's ghost.

Kirsty thanks Tom for backing off as she asked, but calls him out on telling Helen she's pregnant. She makes him promise to never propose marriage to her ever again. They are just friends. To that end, Kirsty invites him to the next scan. 

Stefan turns up at the Damara office to see Rob. He knows Rob is being paid well and he repeats his demand for money - only this time it's double. As Stefan leaves he almost bumps into Lilian who's looking for Justin's invite list to the next shoot. Rob, rattled by Stefan's ultimatum, worries what Lilian might have overheard.
