Jennifer drops in on Alice to see if she needs anything from the supermarket, and is alarmed to hear that she still hasn't bought a christening present for Keira.

On her way back from town later, Alice stops at Home Farm to show her mum the charm bracelet she selected, and shocks Jennifer again when she admits that she's looking for a casual work. Jennifer suggests that Alice get an internship instead, or at least do some research for her masters, but Alice doesn't want to talk about her future career.

Susan is stressing about the christening party despite Neil's assurance that it will all be fine, and is also worried about Christopher's finances. Unlike Neil, she's picked up on how stressed Chris is. She is worried that he's struggling to meet the high expectations set by Alice and her family. She thinks that Brian and Jennifer should solve the problem by investing in Chris' business.

Clarrie comes over to Ambridge View to help with the cooking, explaining that Nic is going to prepare the sausages, despite Susan's reservations. Adding to the chaos and confusion, Emma worries about the weather, but Susan decrees that it will be the perfect christening party.
