Matt and Lilian receive good news from the builders, and it looks like their property empire is starting to take shape. Matt boosts their finances with money from his overseas funds, making Lilian slightly uncomfortable, but he is in a celebratory mood after having his tag removed.

Lilian worries about Peggy; she is upset about Tom and Tony's falling out. Lilian wishes they would try to get along for Peggy's sake.

Fallon admits to Lilian that Jolene is still not sleeping at night, and she's having trouble covering shifts at the Bull. Lilian suggests they hire extra staff. Fallon wakes Jolene from an afternoon nap, and broaches the subject of taking on new staff. She tries to involve Jolene in the process to cheer her up, with little success.

Helen and Amy discuss birthing options. Helen likes the sound of giving birth at the birthing centre in Borchester, and is only disappointed Amy can't be her midwife.

Amy confides to Helen that Susan is feeling left out of the party preparations, but is sure Alice will fix it. She's not going to let anyone rain on her parade!
