Peggy is taken by surprise, and Toby is on the hustle.

Peggy takes photos of her new great-grandson to Ursula and Rob. Rob is overcome when he sees them but when Peggy mentions the baby's name is Jack he gets angry. Peggy recounts Rob's reaction to Lilian and worries that she has made a bad situation even worse. Lilian tries to comfort her mum by saying everyone makes mistakes now and then, including herself.

Rex wants to be sure that when Toby collects this year's goslings he won't come back with more than 200. Rex then finds an email from Morgan and Minster and he can't believe the number of eggs Toby has agreed to supply them. Toby calmly says they will get more hens to meet the demand and house them in the caravan, which Rex points out was only supposed to be temporary.

Meanwhile, Toby has other things on his mind. In The Bull, he shows Lilian the film he has made about pastured eggs. Lilian thinks it's impressive for a home-made video but he still has a way to go. Toby wants Lilian to put a good word in for him and his film-making with Justin.

Rob talks to his solicitor who is going to put in an application for Rob to see his son. Ursula is unsure if Rob is well enough to travel the distance to the mother and baby unit. Rob says it's not up for debate; he's going to see his son.
