Ian begins to have doubts and Tracy makes herself at home

Tracy enjoys a Sunday lunch at Lower Loxley, courtesy of Elizabeth. They discuss how well Freddie’s settling into work at Grey Gables. Talk turns to Christmas preparations and Tracy tells them her plans for murder mystery dinners. She says that Lynda is adamant that she won’t be running a Christmas show this year. Last Christmas really was her swan song. Tracy asks Lily and Russ if they have any marriage plans, and Lily explains Russ is still married to Lara. Lily asks Russ why he hasn’t started divorce proceedings yet, but he avoids her questions.
An exhausted Ian is sorting through baby clothes with Helen. He’s feeling slightly insecure after Hilary Noakes asked a tactless question about Xander’s father: with Adam as biological father and Lexi carrying Xander for nine months, he feels as though he’s third in line. Jennifer arrives to collect Alice and Kate’s birthday cards and notices that Ian is feeling emotional. Helen assures Ian that he’s bonding really well with the baby. 
At Willow Cottage, after a successful party for Kate and Alice, Jennifer relays to Brian her concerns about Ian: she thinks Lexi’s making him anxious. If Lexi were to change her mind, Adam and Ian would be heartbroken. So what are they going to do about it?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
