On Christmas Day the community join together to celebrate. Contraband is getting into the camp. But what greets the group on the morning of their final day in Eden is catastrophic.

The atmosphere in Eden remains hostile with the community effectively split in two. The `Valley Boys' are increasingly antagonistic. Rob finds it intolerable and Katie is furious.

Oli confronts Anton and Ralph about their isolated house in the woods. Their showdown boils over in a dramatic conclusion that changes the group forever.

As three more people leave the camp, the men significantly outnumber the women. Tensions grow between the sexes. Meanwhile, Oli and Rachel develop an intense friendship.

Life in Eden proved too tough for some, and after just three months, two had already left. By the summer, hunger pervades and divisions within the camp are already becoming apparent.
