Eddie's out to impress, and Matt's keeping his eyes open.

Nic sees Vicky and Bethany feeding the ducks. The pair chat about pregnancy and Nic explains she has decided not to learn the sex of the baby. George is so keen on having a little brother, she doesn't want to potentially disappoint him before the baby is born.

Nic and Eddie make the final preparations for Clarrie's surprise party. They decide Nic should come up with an excuse to deter Clarrie from making any final plans of her own.

Jill and Clarrie wonder if there are any saints that could be associated with bears, as Vicky has offered to loan her teddy bears for use in the Flower Festival.

Lilian is admiring the work Eddie has done on Mrs Nicholls' patio when Matt unexpectedly joins them. Lilian is embarrassed, as she thinks it looks like Matt is checking up on her rather than Eddie. But Matt suggests he was worried Lilian might be using Eddie for sentimental reasons.

Later, Matt discovers Lilian looking at his diary and pointedly suggests she pay him a 'spur of the moment visit.' Matt apologises for being suspicious and leaves to pour the G and T's. Lilian takes the opportunity to let Paul know they must be very careful from now on.
