Martha’s christening is thrown into jeopardy and Justin is perturbed by the past.

Inspired by Ben’s call for items for the time capsule, Lilian unearths some boxes of mementoes from her past. Justin is less than impressed – the capsule should have items from the present not the past. He’d prefer Lilian to stop rummaging through jumble and focus on thinking about their new business venture. But then amongst Lilian’s things is a box of Justin’s. Lilian’s eager to look through it. She finds a school play programme with Justin listed in the cast. She also finds a photograph of Justin in costume as a daffodil. Justine hates it and wants it gone. Lilian promises to do just that.
Fallon goes to The Nest and tells Alice and Chris that she and Harrison can no longer be godparents to Martha. Once Fallon has left, Chris and Alice talk it over. Chris is stunned. He doesn’t buy the reasoning Fallon gave for her U-turn. Alice tries to encourage him to forget it and think about who else could be Martha’s godparents. Chris wonders what’s gone wrong between him and Harrison. Alice impresses on him that this change of heart has come from Fallon and she will sort it with her. Fallon is cold with Alice when she seeks her out. If Alice repeats her behaviour, Fallon will be telling Chris. Alice begs her to reconsider her decision regarding being godparents, but Fallon is set on keeping her distance from Alice for a while.
