Justin goes too far, and Clarrie reaches the end of her tether.

Will and George’s plan to sabotage the land sale upsets Clarrie. Later Eddie finds her crying about how tired she is and how sick she is of always living hand to mouth.  Clarrie feels it’s like living on a cliff edge all the time, and you never know when the sea’s going to wash it away. Eddie is shocked to see her so upset. He tells Clarrie that she is their rock. Clarrie says not anymore; this rock is beginning to crumble.  After strong words from Eddie, both boys apologise to Clarrie and agree to drop any plans of sabotage.

Alice talks to Lillian about Harry, explaining that she’s happy but doesn’t want anyone to know yet as it is still early days. Lillian envies the heady thrill of early romance that Alice is experiencing.  Justin appears and they all discuss Peggy’s decision to move to The Laurels.

Whilst rubbing down Aziz, Alice accidentally lets slip to Justin about Lilian’s idea, that if the bid’s successful, she wants to use the land for an outdoor international arena.  Alice tells Justin that she was on board when it was a Horse Spa because it felt like an extension of what they were already doing.  She’s not sure about Lilian’s new plan, but tells Justin that it’s not her call. Justin says her opinion is most valuable.  Sometime later, Justin rings Shula and asks if she had any idea about Lilian’s plans for The Stables.  Shula tells Justin it’s the first she’s heard about it.
