Hector was no financial genius and had run the estate into the ground before handing the place over to his son to avoid death duties. Initially, Lexie says no but then changes into a red ball dress and meets Archie on the terrace and says yes. Lexie's estranged father turns up in Glenbogle, on the run from a vicious man named 'Billy the Butcher'.
