Riley makes the decision to head back home to Connecticut, leaving Fiona and Miller depressed. Miller breaks up with Miranda, but soon finds an old love of his-the guitar. Aggie joins the school netball team, however she has to deal with rushing to the clinic on time. Fiona is her same old self, minus Riley of course. When Aggie finds out about the new intern, she feels like she's being invaded on her home territory, but that changes when the new intern, Tom Butler arrives. He does have a love for animals, but although he claims to have vet parents, there's a bit more to him than meets the eye...

At the Archers, Tom is welcomed comfortably, but Aggie gets suspicious of his upbringing. Are his parents really vets? Her suspicions are heightened when Tom sticks a thermometer in the wrong end of a dog-Aggie stops him in time. She confides in Miller, who takes matters in his own hands. He finds an article about Tom and the whole story comes out-his parents ARENT vets, he came to Australia to escape from his own parents, who don't care about him. Despite this, the Archers take him in and treat him like his own son
