Gordon goes out and tells his son that he thought the car must have broken down. Jill explains that Wayne had trouble getting her away from the hotel, and adds that their room was on the 21st floor.

Barbara tells Gordon, Wayne and Jill that her husband had a heart attack in the early hours of the morning in the US, and was dead by the time the ambulance arrived.

She leaves the room, and Wayne comments that it's rotten luck. He adds that they should hold off speaking to Rosie until Barbara goes. Gordon says he wants to hang around the property to make sure Barbara's OK, and he suggests Wayne and Jill take a look around. Jill asks Wayne if Barbara and Roland were very close, and Wayne nods. Jill says she wondered, as Barbara didn't cry. Wayne says, "It's called breeding - there's not a lot of it around nowadays." Later, having driven round the riding school, Jill comments to Wayne that Patricia did a good job. Wayne says it's a pity Gordon isn't giving her any credit, and adds that there's no way his father can excuse what he did. Indoors, Gordon tells Wayne that he had a good reason for his actions, and reveals that Patricia wanted his share of Woombai. Wayne says it figures. Gordon admits that he overreacted, but he asks Wayne to understand how he feels. He adds that they've worked out an alternative settlement.

Gordon says there was more to it, but he tells Wayne to ask Patricia about it.

Beryl says she has to go, and as soon as Angela has hung up, Patricia storms downstairs and asks Angela if she's quite finished discussing her.

She goes inside and Wayne tells Jill that he's found out something interesting: there's more to the battle of Woombai than he thought...

Charlie arrives to collect Patricia, but she's not ready. She tells Charlie about how Angela spoke to Beryl, and about how Beryl must now think she's moping over David. She says she blew up at Angela, and now she's blown things totally. She rhetorically asks what she's going to do, and Charlie advises that she get out and kick up her heels a bit.

Barbara tells him that arrangements are being made for the body to be flown home straight away. She says their children are all over the world, and she's contacted them and told them it's not worth them all coming back. She asks if she can stay on for another day, and then tells Gordon that she and Roland had plans for a holiday, but adds that Roland would never slow down.

She says, "He knows - about Mr. Palmer and John's mum." Beryl looks taken aback.

At the football ground, David is waiting in his ute. Kevin goes to walk past him, but David tells him to get in the car, and adds that he should be careful of the flowers on the front seat, which are for Beryl. Kevin asks his father if the flowers will make up for the way he's been treating Beryl. He asks David what made him think he could treat Beryl like that and get away with it. He tells David to, "Buzz off, or I'll flatten you," before storming off and throwing the flowers down.
