Trace and Leigh prepare enough new material to present in Nashville for a new album. Wes openly confronts 'rival father' Trace as if a threat for his parental role. Connor gloomily starts working at the law firm, where a morbid gray dress code prevails, but lets great gran Nell couch a professional outfit. Mick is dead-set on preventing estranged, once-inseparable brother Thomas donate family land to the nature reserve, a meeting solves nothing while the youth wonders what broke them up. Jess learns her absent mother did always care, yet still childishly resents her help.
