Ruth’s furious when Pip oversleeps and she has to cover her milking. Pip tries to lighten the mood with some gossip: Oliver and Tracy were seen having a private dinner together. Ruth feels as though Pip is putting the rewilding project first. What with juggling childcare as well, she should learn to manage her time better. Later, Ruth finds Pip to apologise. Pip’s found a way to juggle rewilding, childcare and Brookfield: they’ll enrol Rosie at a nursery two days a week.
Jennifer’s worried sick. She feels as though everyone is ignoring red flags in Lexi’s behaviour: moving out of Honeysuckle Cottage, choosing Kirsty as her birthing partner and now struggling emotionally. She thinks there’s only one way her behaviour’s heading.
Lexi arrives at Honeysuckle Cottage to see Adam and Ian. She explains that since she’s given birth she feels surplus to requirements, but they explain they’ve only been distant to give her a bit of space to recover from the birth. Adam actually worries that they’ve taken the baby away from Lexi. Lexi assures them that she’s always viewed the baby as theirs. Now they should arrange to register the birth. Later, Adam and Ian ring Jennifer and Brian to share the name of their new baby: Alexander Macy-Craig, Xander for short. Jennifer thinks it’s perfect, until they point out they’ve named him after Lexi. Jennifer’s convinced Lexi will want to keep Xander.
