Roy goes a step too far, and Ed disgraces himself.
Brian admits he's struggling to come to terms with the possible sale of Brookfield. As he and David reminisce Brian expresses his gratitude for the listening ear David's provided over the years. He suggests he could help them diversify rather than move, but David would rather move the farm than lose its soul. Brian admits when it's put like that there's not much he can say. Meanwhile he'll keep everything crossed that David and Ruth aren't forced to sell.
Jazzer's finding the company of Ed and Roy a bit of an effort. No matter how much he tries to ply them with drink, they're both stubbornly morose. He finally gets through to Ed, who asserts to Roy that maybe they should take a leaf out of Jazzer's book and grab whatever life throws at them. Buoyed up by Jazzer's promise to help grow the sheep shearing business, Ed has several more drinks for the road, before disgracing himself on Susan's sofa.
Drunk Roy turns up at Lower Loxley. At first Elizabeth offers comfort. With nothing left to lose Roy misreads the signs and tries to kiss her. Elizabeth pushes him off; nothing's changed and he's drunk. She resolves to make coffee and call him a cab.
