Kate discovers the truth, and Philip has a request.

Rex puts the finishing touches to Josh's Open Farm Sunday machinery trail. Tom runs into Philip, who isn't impressed that Tom told Kirsty he thought Philip was unsuitable. Tom warns Philip that Kirsty's more vulnerable than she seems. Philip coolly observes that this isn't surprising, given that Tom jilted her. Philip agrees that Kirsty needs someone who won't mess her around - so it's a good thing she's now nothing to do with Tom. Philip ad Kirsty banter about their relationship and Philip suggests it's time to meet each other's family. A bit thrown, Kirsty agrees.

Brian intends to tell Kate about the land sale first thing, but waits for her jet-lag to clear. Kate complains that she has nothing to do, but rejects all offers to make herself useful. She eventually consents to take a forgotten flask to Adam. Kate thinks that it would be easier to recruit pickers if the atmosphere was more fun. Adam agrees that offering students perks might work. Assuming that Brian has told her, Adam mentions the land they're selling adjacent to Spiritual Home. Kate orders Brian to stop, but he's already shaken hands with a buyer - they need to act quickly before people realise they're desperate and the price drops. Kate vows to halt the sale.
