Lynda is reassuring and Matt makes his feelings clear.

Before re-assessing the damp problem at Hillside, Darrell is treated to Joyce's baking. However he faces a grilling when Matt appears unexpectedly. Matt makes it clear that he expects Darrell to find a reason to move Joyce and Arthur out, and it's his job to make them understand it too . 
Darrell tries his best to convince Joyce and Arthur that they'd be better off moving to the flat that Matt's offered them. His excuses and exaggerations are no match for Arthur's steely will. He declares that he'll only leave their house feet first in his coffin.
Lynda asks Fallon if she can put up a poster stating how much the fete and community games raised. Vicky's chirping on about Harry turning out to be gay, and Fallon tries to get away. 
Vicky's mind is soon on other things when she takes a call from the midwife, who advises her that there may be an increased risk of the baby being born with Down's syndrome. With Mike at work, she confides in Lynda. Her worry is that this news could dampen Mike's newly-found enthusiasm for fatherhood. Lynda urges her to tell him.
