Something is bothering Lilian. Meanwhile Lynda is overcome with emotion.
Lilian's feeling unsure about the forthcoming baby. Matt seems positively excited in comparison. Lilian's worried Leonie may have put pressure on James. Matt doesn't think it was like that; they're both adults after all. Lilian's puzzled as to how Matt can be so sure. Matt admits he's spoken to James and that James has made his own decision about the situation.
Lilian's a bit hurt that no-one spoke to her, but is glad that James has at least talked to someone. She ponders on what sort of grandma she'll make. After all she's not exactly a natural mother; James had a nanny from when he was tiny.
Thrilled Lynda rubs salt in by proclaiming her expertise with new-borns, making Lilian feel even more inadequate.
Tom and Kirsty check on the piglets and discuss their wedding plans. They're worried how Helen will cope with New Year's Eve, as she seems to be in a world of her own.
The Robin Hood performance is a roaring success. Lynda is overcome when Kenton presents her with flowers. She's been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster lately. It's Lilian, useful at last, who steps in with the tissues.
