Elizabeth is on the defensive and Hayley's at her wits' end.

Elizabeth introduces David to Stephen Maidment, Chair of the Trustees of Lower Loxley, who suggests the rare breeds are a drain on the business. David agrees the stock needs to be reduced.

Elizabeth praises the hard work of all her staff but the Trustees still feel she'd benefit from the support of a manager. Elizabeth insists she can do everything the way Nigel wanted it done, and tells David that the Trustees will leave her alone now they've seen what a great job everyone's doing - especially David...

Kate's missing Nolly and Sipho and wishes she could have all three children at once. Phoebe suggests it's possible, if she goes to South Africa with Kate at Easter. With Kate in agreement, Phoebe can't wait to tell Hayley and her Dad. She's sure they'll be just as excited as she is, and is surprised when Hayley starts putting up objections. Phoebe can't see what there is to think about. She's going and they won't stop her.

Hayley phones Roy but gets his voicemail. She leaves him a message and wants him to call her
back. She's no idea what they're going to do about it.
