Toby has an announcement to make, and Alice attempts to be diplomatic.

Alice is working from home, but an email from Fallon diverts her attention to the wedding. She loves Fallon's choice of reading, but Chris isn't happy with his best man's speech. It needs more personal anecdotes, but Chris has only known Harrison a few years. Alice suggests asking his friends in the force, his family, or even the cricket team. Who knows what Chris could find out? 

At Brookfield, David is struggling to hand parental duties over to Toby now Pip has had her baby. He'd feel more comfortable picking her up from the hospital himself, especially as Toby was late to the birth. As Pip and Toby make the journey home, they hint about their choice of name, with Pip claiming that it definitely will not be Juniper. Back home they're greeted by Ruth, David Josh and Jill, and reveal the baby's name - Rosie Ruth Archer. Later, Toby opens up to Pip, letting her know he is so glad she went through with the pregnancy, despite not being on board at first.

Ruth and David reflect that they've taken their parents' place, and Rosie is the next generation. They don't have much time for that thought to sink in though - there's plenty of farm work still to do. Life just keeps rolling on.
