Clarrie puts her foot down. Mike has a man-to-man chat.

Mike's going off to the Cider Club, so Vicky pops over to see Lynda and reveals her pregnancy. Lynda is astounded to learn Vicky's symptoms weren't due to the menopause. There's a tiny pang about her own childlessness. 

Eddie's in a rush to get to the cider club and cook the wild boar burgers before the others arrive, but Joe's suffering the effects of having eaten too much rich meat. Clarrie gets wind of Eddie's plans to sell boar burgers and warns him there'll be trouble if he if does. 

With Harry and Jazzer away, Mike's feeling the strain at work. He doesn't know how he will cope with being a father again. Roy assures him he's still fighting fit. Roy offers him Abbie's old baby things but Mike doesn't think it is right to inherit his granddaughter's things. 

The rest of the Cider Club tease Mike but agree it's something to celebrate. Eddie gives him a boar-burger on the house but quickly takes it back off him. Clarrie's been on the phone, insisting nobody eats the boar meat. Eddie decides baby Tucker should be made an honorary member of the Cider Club - that way, it's got to be a boy. They raise a toast to the new baby, and to Mike for his virility.
