Elizabeth offers a shoulder to cry on and Brian is dealt a tricky hand.

Chris and Alice have set off for San Francisco. Meanwhile, Brian and Annabelle get a knockback from stubborn Joseph Hastings, who refuses to sell his land. The other two farmers are on board.

Brian decides to go back and see Hastings alone, farmer to farmer. He works his charm, focusing on family values and the benefits Hastings could enjoy of early retirement. Later, Hastings calls Brian back - he's got himself a deal.

Pip's distraught after realising that Jude planned to disappear to America without saying anything. Touched by Pip's situation, Elizabeth opens up about her own heartbreak. She met what she thought was the perfect man - Cameron Frazer, a rival for Nigel when they were younger. He was similar to Jude - older than Elizabeth, charming, and he made her feel special.

But then Elizabeth became pregnant. Cameron wanted her to have an abortion, but she decided to keep the baby. They planned a holiday together, but on the way to the airport Cameron disappeared, never to return. Elizabeth was left stranded. At her lowest point, she decided to go ahead with the abortion.
