Kate is raring to finish her pipe project when she comes across a young man, Jamie, broken down on the stock route. Kate assumes it must be her camp man and the pipe project takes a back seat. Taking Jamie's car back to Drovers Run to get it fixed, Kate tries to talk to Jamie and get him to open up about his problems. All the questions are too much and he runs, stealing her car. Kate manages to catch him but he won't talk. She forces him to work as payment for damaging her car. Kate then discovers Jamie is not her camp man. He admits he's a runaway, fleeing from his parents' high expectations. Kate questions her job on Drovers. Father Dan gently pushes her in the direction of a job helping troubled teens. When Jamie reconnects with his parents, Kate realises she must leave Drovers to follow her true calling. Meanwhile, Noisy the dog is making Patrick and Tayler's nights hell, howling when Tayler's away and killing the mood when she's at home. Tayler thinks the dog is jealous of Patrick and suggests they move in together. Patrick baulks at the idea, leaving Tayler confused.
