Matthew has set up a secret meeting with Andrew Raftry regarding access through a field. Matthew arrives back to hear that Tom is selling their land to concentrate on the haulage and plant hire. Matthew declares that he will take his dad on as he has found a great way to access the development. He asks the others to out vote his dad. Elsewhere, Val arrives at the factory and is shocked to see the room bare. She receives a threatening phone call from Jimmy demanding the money. She tells him to stay away from the village and Paul if he wants his money.
