There's an awkward moment when Lexi walks through the door - Roy had no idea she was coming.

Roy's happy to tell her she got the job, and Lexi is thrilled.
Freddie and Noluthando find a place in a Lower Loxley attic to dry their magic mushrooms. Freddie reflects that all the junk up there, it's the closest they can get to Nigel.
Adam ambushes Matt in the Grey Gables car park and warns him to leave Lilian alone. But Matt gains the upper hand, claiming that Lilian is freely choosing to see him. He taunts Adam about how "unnatural" his surrogacy plans are, and Adam punches him. Matt laughs in his face, pointing out that nobody would give a baby to a man with an assault charge. Later, Adam tells Ian about the argument, but not the punch. Ian, not knowing the full story, declares how proud he is that Adam didn't resort to violence.
