Lilian faces an awkward encounter, and Vicky is determined to enjoy herself.

Lilian and Paul are in Cheltenham, where Lilian tries on a selection of dresses as a treat from Paul. She chooses a gorgeous purple one, saying she'll think of Paul every time she wears it. Over a romantic lunch, they agree to make the most of today. But Matt throws Lilian's plans by calling and offering to pick her up from Hollerton station. To get around this, Paul drives Lilian to Felpersham (the stop before). Lilian thanks considerate Paul and rewards him with a present of cufflinks that she knew he liked.

Mike and Vicky are also out shopping in Cheltenham. Vicky spotted a lovely mobile and looked at christening robes. It the restaurant Vicky sneaks a peak at her purchases. She can't wait to get it all into the nursery - the only thing missing now is the baby.

Proud Vicky has bought multiple copies of Borsetshire Life - with Mike's feature - to send to friends. As they get on to the train they spot Lilian, who gets flustered. Matt's ready to meet Lilian at Hollerton and offers Mike and Vicky a lift home. Lilian squirms as Matt gets a look at her dress. He says she'll have to wear it on Christmas day.
