Having returned from Africa, Andy and Becky have moved in temporarily with her mother with all the challenges that come with the territory. Lance is trying to kick-start his relationship with Toni, but her living on a barge makes him queasy and his daughter staying at the flat leaves it all rather precarious – with none of this being helped by the reappearance of his ex-wife. Meanwhile Lance and Andy’s search for gold continues as they face enemies old and new.

“There's something about karma going on” is Lance's wise observation, and there certainly seems to be something in the air. They have one last day on the farm, one last chance to pull out all the stops and find that gold. Terry's got a new gazebo. Perfect time for a rally.
