is about to exercise the horses so she walks them off. Steve leaves the
gardens to meet her and bangs into Chris. He tells him he is taking his

out to impress as he might get a promotion. Steve tells him that he
might not be around for that long as he has things in the pipeline.

and Seth. Betty says if he really cared he would have finished it with
Tara the day he knew about the evictions. Kathy pointed out that this

himself. She tells him that he's got a lot of friends in the village
and things will get easier for him. He's not so sure. He tells her how

wasn't. Kathy says that it couldn't have meant a lot to her or she
wouldn't be marrying someone else.

easier. He tells her that he can't help how he feels, he feels
confused. She tells him to talk to her about it. Biff replies that she
