Mike is in thoughtful mood. Lilian offers advice.

After a meeting with the accountant, Matt tells Lilian they're not maximising their assets. A couple called Walters have a long-term lease on a house in Hollerton that could be earning Amside double the current rent. Matt decides to pay them a visit. Lilian can hardly believe he offered them the empty flat in Hillside, and is not surprised they turned it down. She thinks they should start making essential repairs to the house in Hollerton, and look at it as a long-term investment.

Pawel tries to talk but Adam doesn't want to discuss what happened. Lilian also wants to talk to Adam. She's worried about him. He should think carefully about leaving Ambridge, and to keep Ian's happiness in mind as well as his own. 

Mike accompanies Vicky to the hospital for her scan but feels uncomfortable among all the younger parents-to-be. On the journey home, Vicky wants to start making a list of possible names, but Mike's got to get back to Grange Farm. Vicky later finds him staring at the ultrasound. She is relieved and delighted to learn that it's finally sunk in, and he thinks it's amazing. Vicky wants to tell everyone now but Mike prefers to choose their moment.
