Maria makes her debut at The Lodge.
Debbie arrived late last night, and catches up with Jennifer over breakfast. Jennifer jokingly suggests the only way she'll meet Marshall is if she goes to Hungary - Debbie thinks it's a great idea. Christopher's got a list of stuff that Alice wants. When Debbie offers to take it down later in the week, Christopher quickly points out that he'll be there at the weekend. Debbie assures him she won't intrude on his time. Jennifer wishes she could get to see Alice.
Back at Ambridge View, Christopher's measuring up Emma's room - he's determined to move in the moment she moves out.
Peggy's still uncomfortable with having a carer in to look after Jack but it's all arranged, so she anxiously awaits Maria's arrival. Maria instantly makes a good impression with Jack but Peggy won't leave her alone with him.
Jennifer's frustrated that Peggy didn't take advantage of the chance for a break, and insists that Peggy goes to Home Farm for lunch next time. Peggy refuses to be rushed into anything more than half an hour away. Jennifer reminds Peggy that she wasn't sure about the day centre at first, and that's now fine - so surely this can't be a bigger problem?
