At Grey Gables, Ian hopes bookings will soon pick up soon. Meanwhile, Roy gets an urgent call from Hayley, who has discovered a letter from Phoebe's school regarding her absence last Thursday. Hayley marches round to Home Farm to have it out with Kate. She stresses to casual Kate that they all need to pull together. Kate reluctantly agrees to cooperate.

Meanwhile, busy Roy needs someone to watch Phoebe. Adam reminds him that Peggy's keen to see her great-granddaughter. Ian pops round to ask Peggy, who's finding out all about Kate's university course.

Peggy takes Phoebe to see the ducks, and tells stories of what Kate got up to as a youngster, with cousins Helen and Brenda. Peggy recalls when Kate wrote to an American soldier Peggy knew from the war, pretending to be her. Kate's letters resulted in the GI showing up in Ambridge - but Peggy was married by then. Phoebe tells Peggy about Kate taking her out of school last week. Peggy promptly goes to see Kate, suggesting she apologises to Roy and Hayley. Kate's stunned when Peggy accuses her of being a part-time mother.
