There's mistrust in the air this week on McLeod's Daughters, when Stevie is keen to hire Sharon as her replacement, but Grace isn't so sure.

Eight years ago, Grace was competing for the chance to win a rodeo scholarship to America, but Sharon - or so Grace suspects - tampered with her car. Grace never got to the event, and missed out on the chance to go to America.

Sharon denies Grace's accusation, but goes on to embroil herself in a horse buying scam as she owes a lot of money to Brett. When Grace discovers the scam, that's the last straw. She kicks Sharon off Drovers and sends her on her way - not realising that Stevie's wedding rings have just gone missing. Stevie and Grace must rush after Sharon, who trys to beg for Stevie's forgiveness once they catch up with her.

A bombshell is then dropped - Sharon admits to sabotaging Grace at the rodeo, but she didn't act alone - Stevie helped her. Despite Stevie's explanations, Grace and Stevie are left estranged.
