Brian meets his match and Chelsea throws a spanner in the works.

Stella tackles Brian head-on about the news that Home Farm may be sold. Why wasn’t she told this before she took the job? Caught off-guard Brian falters before becoming indignant; this possibility is new and unexpected for everyone. Stella feels she’s been sold a pup, but apologetic Brian explains the situation with Alice and Chris, including Alice’s alcohol issues. Now he might be forced to sell land, and he’s running out of fight. Stella reckons it might not come to that, and even if it does it’s not insurmountable. Brian needn’t worry about Justin and the Estate contract; he can trust her. She thanks Brian for his honesty.
Tracy feels Chelsea’s lost her confidence in driving since the accident with Blake. On speaking to Jazzer she resolves to take Chelsea out for a drive after college. But Chelsea has other plans. She wants Jazzer to teach her to ride a motorbike instead. Her mum can’t stop her; she’s seventeen. Jazzer concedes that technically Chelsea’s right, and agrees to let her ride out with him. Angry Tracy declares Jazzer’s no help and should keep his nose out; Chelsea’s her daughter, not his. Later Tracy admits she was out of line expecting Jazzer to play the step-dad. But Jazzer counters that’s just what he should be doing – supporting Tracy. He promises to make Chelsea’s lesson so boring that she’ll never want to see a bike again.
