Phoebe is embarrassed, and Rob puts the pressure on.

Phoebe helps a disgruntled Brian deal with the lambing, while Rob broaches with Helen the subject of having a baby. Pip and Phoebe look at photos from New Year's Eve.

Adam has jetted off with Ian to Miami, leaving a disgruntled Brian to deal with the lambing on his own - with the help of Phoebe today. She tries to cheer Brian up as she learns. Meanwhile, Adam texts to say he and Ian are having a great time. Phoebe's looking forward to Jennifer's party on Wednesday, for which she's helping with the cooking. Kate's also keen to help - Phoebe suggests she'd be better away from the kitchen

Looking to the new year, Rob broaches with Helen the subject of having a baby - making the point that Henry seems lonely. She'd like to get the wedding organised first, though. Helen fishes to know more about Charlie, following his New Year's Eve kiss with Adam (which she keeps to herself).

Overworked Brian has tried to contact Matt to suggest a drink, Brian feels the ball is in Adam's court when it comes to the farm. Jennifer's pleased that Adam and Charlie haven't fallen out personally.

Pip and Phoebe look at photos from New Year's Eve - it seems Phoebe has an admirer called Alex. Kate's trying a bit too hard to bond with Phoebe - she feels a responsibility to be her spiritual guide. Jennifer suggests Kate starts by focusing on their mother-daughter relationship.
