Busy Adam bats away Brian’s request to raise some issues with him. At the partnership meeting Brian and Ruth exchange views on their errant sons. Brian feels Adam’s a poor communicator. He tackles Adam over perceived failings on the farm: the cherries, the quinoa disaster, even selling the tractor. Adam dismisses these as misfortune, but Brian thinks he’s missing the big picture, especially since the arrival of Xander. Things get heated as Adam accuses Brian of undermining him, reminding him that he’s the manager now, not Brian. Adam admits to Ruth afterwards that may have overreacted.
Phoebe’s troubled. Adam has no sympathy for her, her granddad is cool with her, and when she locates Pip she gets short shrift. Pip wants an explanation. When Phoebe admits Brian told her his concerns over the re-wilders deal with BL sooner than she’d previously admitted, Pip’s incandescent. Phoebe admits it was a bad call, but compounds matters by calling the project her hard work. Pip stresses they’ve all worked hard, plus she’s put her relationship with Ruth on the line. She sends Phoebe away. Disconsolate Phoebe apologises to Brian – he might lose his place on the BL board due to her mistake. However she insists she can’t see what’s wrong with ambition. Brian points out she needs to take responsibility, and if she can do that and learn from her mistakes, she has a bright future.
