Rob is right by Helen's side, and the Fairbrothers are off to Norfolk.

Rex and Toby head to Norfolk for the Goose Producers' walk - they need to raise their profile locally and get some goodwill going in Ambridge. Rex suggests getting involved with the big village hall project and worries that they've made a mistake in focusing just on geese. Toby suggests they pursue the share farming idea with Adam as well and be really ambitious.

Helen updates Peggy on the latest from the Bridge Farm shop and dairy. Peggy's surprised about Phoebe applying to Oxbridge - noting that Roy didn't have quite the same academic ability.

Rob and Helen have a home visit and interview to discuss Helen's health history and pregnancy. Rob chips in supportively. With Rob out of the room comes the delicate question- is Helen suffering any kind of abuse? Helen insists no. Rob comes back in with coffees and answers a couple of questions about having his first child. He's confident of bringing up Henry as his own. He sounds like the perfect man, jokes the health professional - Ellie. Later, Peggy phones Rob to check on Helen. She's worried Helen's working too hard and looks peaky. Rob explains that she's expecting a baby. Peggy's delighted - Helen's in perfect hands with Rob.

On the drive back to Ambridge, David tries to make small talk with Ruth about Dan returning soon. Alone in her room, back at Brookfield, an upset Ruth quietly says sorry to Heather.
