Helen is paid a special visit, and Emma dances away the heartache.
At the Ambridge Tearoom, Rob helps Emma who's struggling with boxes. Rob uses the subject of the Fairbrothers' rugby event to ask how Grundy turkey sales are going (pointing out how well the Fairbrother geese are selling).
Oliver's so grateful to Ed for sorting out Grange Farm following the vandalism. Oliver senses something's wrong though and Ed admits he's worried about Joe, who's had to go into emergency accommodation following the Grundys' eviction. Concerned Oliver passes on his best to the family from Tuscany. Emma cheers Ed up by getting him to dance with her on Grange Farm's oak floor, remembering when the family lived there.
Helen needs a new outfit for Adam and Ian's wedding and asks Rob for a lift into town. Rob won't give Helen the money - he already gave her some for maternity clothes and he's busy at the shop so can't take her out shopping.
Rob's mother, Ursula, arrives unexpectedly as Helen's stuck at home. Ursula has brought a few things for the baby. Helen's surprised that Ursula knows the sex of the baby. Rob returns surprised to see his mother. They chat about godparents - Ursula suggests Rob's brother. Helen mentions Ian. Ursula eventually goes and Helen thinks she's lovely, but Rob gets annoyed with Helen for making a decision about Ian possibly being a godparent without consulting him.
