There's an awkward homecoming. Meanwhile Fallon needs her mother's advice.

Fallon's poleaxed when she discovers Jazzer can go on the road trip. He managed to persuade Mike, who was secretly reeling from the news of the pregnancy. Fallon confides to Jolene she can hardly tell Jazzer he's not welcome. Jolene suggests 'diluting' the problem by asking someone else along. Fallon agrees, and by the evening has an undertaking from Kirsty that she'll do her best to come. Jolene offers to push Kenton to find cover at Jaxx.
Vicky tells Brenda that Mike knows about the baby. She doesn't know how he feels, and thinks she'll never match up to Betty as a mum. Brenda reassures her; she'll be a wonderful mother. Vicky's delighted when Brenda offers to accompany her to the routine tests on Friday.
Roy and Hayley collect Phoebe from the airport, agreeing it will be great to have her back. The welcoming committee's prepared at Willow Farm, but the atmosphere's not ideal. Mike's distracted; Vicky's baby news has come on top of him having to cut his milk prices. And when Phoebe arrives she's very quiet. She greets her new room half-heartedly and doesn't want to talk about her trip. When Mike gives her a hug it's obvious she's more than relieved to be home.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
