Lilian makes her choice, and Mike is getting breathless.

Vicky appreciates Mike's support at antenatal class. He feels old, but Vicky says he's the best husband in the room. He'll soon be the best dad too. Vicky remarks how kind everyone's being - including Tom, who's stocking them up with his ready meals. They practice breathing and Vicky can't do it for giggling.

James and Matt fend for themselves, with Lilian apparently shopping in Birmingham. Matt's surprised she's not there. He knows Lilian's upset about Arthur but can't see why she's taking it out on him.

Over a lovely pub lunch with Paul, Lilian pours her heart out over Matt's intransigence and lack of understanding. She feels awful about the unfortunate situation with the Walters. Paul thinks Matt takes Lilian for granted. If she and Paul were a team, they'd have a lot more fun. Lilian feels much better for talking to him, and as they become more intimate Lilian suggests they go up to Paul's room. Paul checks that she's certain - oh yes, she is.

Back at home, Matt's apologetic and attentive. He thinks things are going to be different now. Guilty Lilian says she just doesn't know where she is with him any more.
