The walls close in on Alice, and Rex looks to the future.

Elizabeth鈥檚 shocked to hear Rex plans to sell his pig meat direct to the customer and cut ties with Bridge Fresh. She hopes her refusal to allow his pigs at Lower Loxley didn鈥檛 have a bearing on his decision. He reassures her he鈥檇 already given it a lot of thought. Elizabeth pushes Rex as to whether he鈥檇 thought much about how his pigs might benefit her business. His response intrigues her. He has lots of creative ideas for attracting new visitors, and his suggestion for outside eating chimes with Elizabeth鈥檚 plan for an outdoor movie screen. She likes his thinking and suggests a formal tenancy agreement along with him supplying their pork. Rex is delighted at this about-turn.
Alice apologises to Jakob for not choosing him as a godparent. Bewildered Jakob assures Alice her choices are sound; he鈥檇 be rubbish. He鈥檚 his own person and isn鈥檛 swayed by any beef Kate has; if he reacted to all her issues he鈥檇 never keep up! So he stays calm. Later he puts his wisdom into practice, and lays it on the line to Kate. She needs to listen to other people鈥檚 opinions more, and grow up. He cares and wants her to be the best she can be. Chastened Kate apologises to Alice. She admits she鈥檚 a screw up. She can鈥檛 even be sure her own children love her. Alice remarks everyone makes mistakes. Kate insists Alice is lucky. She鈥檚 the golden child, on top of everything. Kate鈥檚 glad they鈥檝e had this chat, she feels better for it. Alice half-heartedly agrees.
