There's a shock in store for Kirsty and Patrick, and Kate goes her own sweet way.
Kate's sceptical about Chris and Alice's marriage lasting. Jennifer's pleased that Kate agrees with her. Brian changes the subject and gives Kate her birthday present - a silk scarf. Jennifer's concerned by Kate's plan to take Phoebe out of school today to go shopping. They return with new clothes and expensive trainers. Kate suggests asking Roy to let Phoebe extend her stay into the weekend, but Jennifer advises against upsetting her routine.
Over lunch, Matt expresses interest in Brian's new company idea, but throws a spanner in the works. As Matt's land is so vital, he's doubling his asking price. Brian realises he's intent on wringing as much money out of Borchester Land as he can.
Jennifer asks after Helen, and Kirsty mentions she's had her 20 week scan. Helen has no interest in finding out the sex of her baby though. Jennifer also warns Patrick he's unpopular over the plans for the falcon platform on the church tower.
Later at Arkwright Lake, Patrick notices a light coming from the hide. As the inhabitants run off, Patrick discovers they've lit a fire and carved into the wood. Kirsty implores Patrick not to involve the police, as she recognised Jamie as one of the culprits.
