Brad is on a mission, and there’s concern for Chris.

Whilst waiting for Lilian at the Bull, Alice bumps into Chris and they talk about Susan taking Martha to see Jack and Beanstalk in a princess costume she bought her. They discuss how she is looking forward to it, as there will be a celebrity in the show. Chris says there will also be a pantomime horse and Alice agrees Martha will love it. They arrange for Chris to drop Martha’s riding gear at the stables later on in time for her first lesson the next day. Later, while Alice is grooming Champion, Lilian notices the pony is overweight. This is confirmed by Jakob who has dropped in at the stables. Alice suggests she will take the pony hacking with her on a lead rope. Jakob will return and check on him again in a couple of weeks’ time. Lillian jokes about it being pony boot camp.
Chris off Martha’s riding gear and Alice suggests it would be nice for him to be there when their daughter gets into the saddle for the first time. Later, Lillian drops in at the vets to thank Jakob for his advice about Champion. Whilst there she invites him and Kate for dinner on Friday. She thinks Kate could do with a pick-me-up. Jakob is unsure and says he’ll let her know.
Brad, Tracy and Chelsea discuss Mia’s 18th birthday plans. Brad is excited about his ideal present but knows the Grundys are struggling for ideas. He thinks Mia would like to get involved in some type of project. Tracy suggests maybe the Renew Fashion Show would be a perfect fit.
