Alan has reservations about Shula taking Darrell in. Shula concedes that Alistair had a few misgivings, but has agreed they should help. It's only for a few nights.

Shula does her best to cope with hyper Darrell, who can't settle to anything. He's determined to do good deeds for her, and for the sake of her frazzled nerves Shula wearily agrees.

Alan's impressed that Nic's managed to get out and about with Poppy already. Nic feels very lucky to have a healthy baby.

Vicky's having a clear out and starting a memory box for Beth. She's sure Nic would be pleased of some of Beth's old things. She mentions to Mike that Tom and Kirsty are an item. Mike's glad that Tom's moved on. Mike helps Ed with a sickly calf. Ed is worried that Joe is not brilliant at the moment. Mike consoles him.

When Nic is unimpressed with some of the clothes Vicky's given her, appalled Emma accuses her of ingratitude. When she and Ed were living in the caravan, they had nothing! Nic concedes that Emma's right, but an atmosphere remains.

Emma remarks later to Ed on the unfairness of it. But Ed's more worried about Joe. He is all for Poppy visiting Joe, to Emma's dismay.
