Brian attempts to be supportive and Tracy is left speechless.

Jazzer and Chris chat proudly about Martha. Jazzer’s struggling to find the right words for an important text but he’ll go to visit Martha soon. He gives up on the text and turns up on Tracy’s doorstep. After offering her the smellies that Jade rejected, he thanks her again for her help and admits he wouldn’t find it easy if she had a new boyfriend because he really likes her. Tracy is affronted – he’s going out with Jade! Jazzer explains he’s dumped Jade –  but Tracy isn’t flattered by Jazzer’s attention; he’s clearly on the rebound. She slams the door on him. Jazzer knocks again and this time clumsily manages to tell Tracy how he feels about her. Tracy warns she needs a reliable man – she’s got children and responsibilities. When Jazzer declares he’s deadly serious, Tracy admits he’s not so bad and invites him in.  
Alice is shattered so Brian offers to take Martha for a walk. He’s shocked by all the paraphernalia a baby needs! But their walk is a great success; he’s bonded with Martha and Alice has caught up on some sleep. He’s bought her some chocolates and a bottle of Rioja. Alice balks at the wine and quickly explains she can’t drink as she’s breastfeeding. Just before Brian takes it away Alice casually mentions that Chris could drink it. Chris is delighted that Alice has cooked supper. Chris is impressed with Brian; taking Martha for a walk and supplying chocolates. All in all not a bad day.
