Meanwhile Butch tells Lisa that she is more of a mum to him than Nellie could ever be. Scott becomes suspicious of Richie and follows him to Home Farm where he learns of the business deal with Chris. Hurt and betrayed he tells Richie they were supposed to be partners. Richie feels uncomfortable and Chris has Scott thrown out.
