Mike has a lot to take in. Jazzer proves to be indispensible.

Ian feels that Adam's making choices about their future without consulting him. Adam protests this isn't true. He just wants to look at his options, but he admits he's considered moving away. This inflames Ian even more. He accuses Adam of not giving him a second thought. Adam denies this, but concedes they need to talk about it.
Jazzer offers to look at Fallon's ailing camper van in return for a pint. When he affects a temporary fix she's so impressed she throws in a free meal. Jazzer thinks they should take a resident mechanic on the Edinburgh trip - him! Fallon says it's a shame he can't get the time off; Mike's not exactly Mr Flexible.
Mike's feeling upbeat. He was tired after helping at the community games but slept like a log. He's looking forward to getting Phoebe home from her troubled time in South Africa. Distracted Vicky asks him to come home for lunch, where she breaks the news that she's pregnant. Mike's stunned. Vicky thinks it's a blessing. It's what she's always wanted. Mike can see this, but needs time for it to sink in. To her dismay he suggests not telling anyone else for now. Reluctantly she agrees to wait - but only until next week.
