As she opens her first gift - an Alice in Wonderland book - Lynda looks forward to her birthday treat from Robert. She thinks the book has something to do with the rest of her birthday.

Lynda tells Pat there's still a place for her on the SAVE (Save Am Vale Environment) committee, against the road proposals.

Fallon gets everything together for the Mad Hatter's Tea party. Leonie shows up to surprise a delighted Lynda, who is thrilled with the occasion. Lynda has knitted Leonie's baby a blanket. Jealous Lilian claims she also has something in progress.

Leonie announces that she and James are having a boy. Lynda is so happy and becomes emotional. She's had a wonderful day.

Pat, Tony and Helen have a tense family meeting. Pat is sad that Peggy feels excluded. Tony gives an update from Maurice. He has recalled stock from Tom's regular buyers and said there'll be no organic sausages for a while.

Now, what to do about the pigs. Helen raises the idea of going non-organic. Appalled Tony can see Rob's influence. Helen is letting Rob do all her thinking for her. Helen says that Rob's trying to help like he helped Tom with the job in Canada. And having blurted that out, she stuns Pat and Tony further by announcing she's engaged. Rob will soon be their son-in-law! Show less
