Lexi has a confession to make and there is light at the end of the tunnel for Will.

Adam and Ian sit up in the night to feed the baby, still in disbelief that they have their own family. Later that morning, Ian is trying to soothe their crying baby without success. Adam takes over when Ian gets arm cramp and the baby immediately stops crying. He must have the magic touch.
Roy calls in on Lexi at Ambridge Hall with a bunch of flowers. They go for a walk together and Lexi explains that her head’s all over the place. First she felt totally smothered and now she’s feeling isolated, but doesn’t want to impose on Adam and Ian. Roy hints to Adam and Ian that Lexi might appreciate their company, and they agree to invite her over.
Will comes across Ian out walking with the baby. They sit down and discuss the struggles of parenthood. Will tells Ian that the urge to protect your children never goes away: his parents still fuss over him now and he’s thirty six. The chat is affirming for them both. Realising he’d do anything to protect his children, Will realises there’s something he needs to do. Back at Grange Farm, he tells Clarrie and Eddie that he’s resigned from gamekeeping. He can’t protect any of the children if he can’t look after himself. If he ends up in a dark place again, he wants his family closer to hand than a shotgun. Clarrie and Eddie are so proud of him.
