Philip sets his plan in motion and Gavin’s on the brink.

Gavin and Philip meet Victoria to arrange the sale of Blake, Kenzie and Jordan. Gavin is taken aback by Victoria’s ruthlessness while Philip tries to keep the negotiation on track. On their way home, Gavin voices his concerns but Philip bats them away. He focused on how the future is looking better than ever.

Back at Beechwood, Philip gives Kirsty a sign for their new home in Wales – it reads “cartrev”, home in Welsh. Kirsty finds the gift that Blake, Kenzie and Jordan bought for Philip (with the help of Gavin). She jokingly asks who his admirer is and Philip explains. He wants to give it to a charity shop but Kirsty thinks it’s sweet and should be on show on the mantelpiece. 

Tracy’s hardly slept thinking about all the details for a move to the Maldives. When Roman shows her photos of where they will live, Tracy realises he hasn’t thought this through at all – it’s too small for them as well as two teenagers. Roman insists he wants her to come because he loves her. But he doesn’t love her enough not to go it seems. Later, Roman catches up with Tracy unhappy with how their last conversation ended. He admits he hadn’t thought his plan through but, while he’ll miss Tracy, he can’t turn the job down. They part on good terms.
