Stephen says sorry.Jill is delighted.Stephen explains.Fiona is upset.
Out in the fields, Stephen runs into Terry, who tells him he got back yesterday. Terry says that Fiona is
coming over to his mum and dad's house for lunch. Stephen tells Terry he owes him an apology for believing
the lies about him and asking him to leave the property. Terry tells him he thought he was doing the right
thing, and he DID have a reputation to live down.
Stephen goes into the house, where Fiona is just leaving. She tells him he'd better have a talk with Jill, as
he'll need a new assistant soon. She leaves, and Stephen asks Jill what she was on about. Jill tells him she
won't be able to work there anymore - Fiona's buying a place in Sydney and taking her with her. She adds
that it means Fiona's finally given up the idea of trying to push her and Terry together. Stephen asks Jill
if she has a few minutes to show one of the receptionists how to do her job. He goes to get the girl.
Later, Fiona rushes into the house to find Jill and all her clothes gone. She meets Stephen, who tells her Jill
has gone to Sydney. He says that Jill has found out that Terry is headed to Sydney too, and felt it would be
back to the same old arguments if she stayed with her. Fiona tells him she's got a good idea where Jill might
be - with Robin Elliott. Stephen tells Fiona it's Jill's decision. Fiona remarks that Robin is a very nasty piece
of work and Jill shouldn't be with him. Stephen says that Jill is a sensible girl - she can look after herself.
