Plot

Sam tries to convince Eli to turn himself in as the thugs will return. Eli is adamant, however, that he can look after things himself and asks Sam to steal Zak's gun for him, promising he can sort things out without hurting anyone. Meanwhile, at the B&B gastro night, Jean is riled by Louise's flirtatious style. She watches Terry eyeing up Louise and begins to feel insecure again. Elsewhere, Emily sneaks into Butlers Farm to see Sarah and return her blanket. However, Sarah wakes and starts to cry, putting Emily at risk of being caught.

Memorable dialogue

Matthew King: "Now, Rosemary, you won't find yourself a new gamekeeper by propping up the bar."
Terry Woods: "Oh, I don't know, when Seth was gamekeeper, this is where he spent most of his day."
Rosemary Sinclair: "Obviously, he didn't last long."
Terry Woods: "He was in the job for years."
Rosemary Sinclair: "Well, I wouldn't want to employ some idle layabout."
Terry Woods: "Now, before he got the job, Seth was the biggest poacher in these parts. If you want a reliable gamekeeper, you've gotta have one who knows all the tricks."
