There's news for Rob, and opportunity for Fallon?

Josh has been helping Ruth with Heather's papers. Ruth found Heather's funeral plan, written a couple of years ago, with details of hymns and readings etc. Heather would like Pip to do a reading. David encourages Ruth to relax but Ruth wants to keep busy - she'll help Pip and ask about the reading. Jill tentatively pops round to Brookfield with some food - she's happy to put off her 85th birthday celebration. David insists that Brookfield is still Jill's home. Seeing Jill at Brookfield, Ruth gets upset, admitting to David that it's a reminder of Heather's absence. Ruth feels guilty for the strain caused to Heather and that she and David are to blame - they should have just moved to Hexham.

Rob's surprised to find out from Fallon that Helen and Tom want her to run the café site at the Bridge Farm shop. Rob tells Helen off for taking Tom's advice over his own - a huge decision both for the business and their future. Helen tells Rob she's pregnant, which cuts short his anger. She has taken two tests and is certain. Rob's delighted and starts to pamper and mollycoddle Helen. Henry comes in to join them and Rob explains that mummy is going to have a baby. Helen tells Henry to keep it a secret though. Rob's certain that Henry's going to have a baby brother.
