Jennifer faces opposition and Emma puts her foot in it

Brian and Jennifer argue whether Brian will plead guilty or not. Jenifer implores him to consider the impact his decision to plead guilty will have on the children.

Ian’s uncomfortable about having his and Adam’s surrogacy plans revealed so early in Lexi’s pregnancy. He tells Kirsty that some of the staff at Grey Gables have been unimpressed their decision to have a baby. 

Emma questions Jennifer over the surrogacy stories she’s been hearing. She says that she wouldn’t be able to give up a baby as Lexi will have to. Both Kirsty and Jennifer point out that the baby isn’t biologically Lexi’s. Emma goes on to say that people from the village have been saying that Lexi must be doing it for the money at which point Jennifer and Kirsty tell her to mind her own business. Jennifer thanks Kirsty for her timely intervention.

Alistair meets with his new employer, Doug Lovell from Lovell James. He tells him that he’d like to continue with his existing work load at his Ambridge practice. Doug takes his point but says that it’s Don James who’ll need convincing.
