As Susan and Amber head out for a trip to the theatre, Amber asks about Bert’s new job. Susan insists it’s just volunteering but wonders how much work she’ll get done with him in the shop. Amber talks about her teenage obsession with musicals whilst Susan reminisces about when she used to bring Emma and Chris to the Panto. Whilst waiting in the queue for a programme and some sweets, Susan tries to explain to Amber about not yet returning the Gordons’ baby cot to them. But suddenly Amber spots her mother, Anne Marie, who comes over to chat.
At the interval Anne Marie finds Susan. Anne Marie is enjoying the show but really wants an explanation about the cot. When Susan explains it’s all boxed it up in the summerhouse, Anne Marie accuses her of stealing it. Susan denies this whilst Anne Marie says she’ll sort out collecting the cot.

Outside the shop, Kirsty bumps into Tom who’s acting strangely. When Kirsty admits that Helen had already called to apologise for letting Tom know about her pregnancy, Tom leaves quickly. Later at Rewilding, Tom comes to speak to Kirsty, who’s sorting through brambles, to apologise for being weird earlier. He wonders why Kirsty hadn’t told him about the baby, considering he told her when Natasha was expecting Seren and Nova. Kirsty insists there’s no comparison between the two situations and questions how dare Tom make this baby about him when it’s nothing to do with him. Kirsty insists this conversation is over.
