Jill attempts to avert a scandal and Ian struggles to remain calm

Jill’s nervous about judging the Flower and Produce show. She can’t believe her ears when Leonard admits he’s entered the competition with her scrap cake recipe. She must make sure he doesn’t win, or she may end up being accused of nepotism.
Kirsty and Lexi enjoy the backup vegan cake Kirsty’s made. They’re about to drop off the other cake at the Flower and Produce show when Lexi’s waters break on Kirsty’s new rug. She phones Ian to tell him the news, but he mustn’t tell anyone as her contractions haven’t started yet. Ian rushes away from the Flower and Produce show, leaving Peggy to judge for him. In Kirsty’s car, Ian tries nervously to calm down an already calm Lexi.
In Ian’s absence, Jill does her best to influence Peggy’s decision on the unusual bakes category. Peggy doesn’t want Jill’s expert advice, as she’s already made her decision. Jill’s interventions weren’t necessary: Leonard’s scrap cakes came a respectable third. Kate wasn’t impressed to be beaten by Joy and her lamingtons. But while Joy may have swept the board, Peggy feels as though she’s a winner herself with the arrival of another great-grandchild.
