Hayley braces herself for Kate's arrival.
Helen's researching internet sites on healthy pregnancy. She's thinking of taking up meditation classes to avoid becoming stressed. Pat's worried that Helen's missing out on the romance of a normal conception but when she reflects on her own pregnancies she realises it wasn't always romantic. Tom hadn't been planned and Tony was worried that another baby would put paid to his plans to expand the dairy herd!
Hayley and Phoebe are putting up balloons for Abbie's party. The dress that Kate bought Phoebe doesn't fit. Vicky quizzes Kate about life in Africa. She feels like she's been subjected to the Spanish Inquisition. Roy agrees that Vicky can be a bit full on but she makes Mike happy. Phoebe's annoyed that Kate doesn't remember some of the things she told her about school. Kate realises she's upset her. She can't help but compare herself to Hayley, who's so good with Phoebe and Sipho has taken an instant liking to her. Kate's disappointed that she can't even get Phoebe's dress size right.
Hayley remarks to Roy that Kate can't just expect to come back and pick up where she left off. She's got a lot of catching up to do.
