Jim struggles with his emotions and Justin knocks heads together

A nervous Kirsty takes a call from Gavin. Later, she tracks Philip down at his yard in Hollerton. Gavin was truly repentant. Philip assures Kirsty that he’ll protect her against any more hardship.
Pip’s surprised to receive a visit from Justin at Brookfield. She’s thankful that David has gone to collect Josh from the airport, as he’d be less than thrilled to encounter Justin. Justin assures her that their altercation was purely business related and nothing personal. He wants to know about the falling out between the rewilders. Pip can’t forgive Phoebe’s dishonesty, but she doesn’t want to give up on the rewilding. Justin advises she makes her peace with Phoebe, and soon, because they’ll lose the land if they don’t rally together. On that he’s certain.
Jazzer discovers an answerphone message from Jim’s old neighbour announcing Harold Jayston’s death, and hastily deletes it. Jazzer decides to break the news to Jim before Cora phones again. Jim is floored and doesn’t want to discuss it further. He’s dead, what more is there to say? Later, Jim apologises for his outburst. He’d always envisaged being able to meet Harold and make him confront his wrong-doings. Now he’s gone to his grave never knowing the pain he’s caused. By dying, Harold’s won.
