Harrison struggles to take in what he’s missed, and Lynda offers her support.

After Harrison’s first day in his new job, he and Fallon scout for tables at The Bull. Lynda comes over to welcome him home and asks how he’s settling in. Harrison enthusiastically explains about the role and the team and how he’s excited to be working with the rural community.
Alice and Rex bump into a curt Kirsty. Rex explains he’s behind Kirsty’s attitude as he’s accidentally become overbearing at work. Rex finds Kirsty at the bar and apologies for being overbearing and patronising. Kirsty confesses to Rex that she wants to tell people tonight after Tom found out she was pregnant by mistake. The gang chats as Harrison regales with stories from his job in Yorkshire. When Harrison asks what else has happened, Kirsty announces she’s pregnant. Everyone is delighted for her. Harrison makes a comment about everyone having babies and jokes that Alice and Rex will be next. They both awkwardly respond.
On the walk home, Alice and Rex chat about Harrison’s baby comment. Alice says it’s important to talk about whether you want kids. Rex confesses that he always imagined he’d be a dad eventually. Alice admits that at some point she would like to have another child. The pair agree they should probably move in together before anything else.
Catching her outside the Bull, Lynda says it’s a shame Kirsty couldn’t play cricket this season. Kirsty confides in Lynda that she’s pregnant. Lynda’s delighted and hugs Kirsty.
Harrison finds Fallon trying to tidy the garden late at night. They descend into a fight over his baby comment.
