Tempers flare for the Horrobins while Lily has plenty to look forward to.

Lily and Russ chat about the ‘soiled pants’ competition for the Flower and Produce show.  Lily’s taking part, but Russ declines.  Russ reluctantly agrees to go to Lily’s leaving barbeque for Felpersham Kitchens.  Whilst there, Lily’s delighted when Russ suggests buying the flat they saw yesterday in Felpersham.  She wants to settle down with Russ and she couldn’t be happier.
Tracy worries to Jazzer about Chelsea’s pregnancy and how she’s going to deal with it all. When Chelsea appears, Tracy encourages her to open up.  Chelsea admits she took the morning-after pill and thought that would sort it out.  When she found out she was pregnant, she didn’t tell Tracy because she thought Tracy would go mad.  When Tracy asks Chelsea what she’s going to do and who the father is, Chelsea makes a swift exit saying she has a hair appointment with Harrison.
Later Tracy broaches the subject of options available to Chelsea but she won’t engage.  Chelsea admits that she knows who the father is, but when Tracy starts digging further, things escalate. Tracy ends up telling Chelsea she was stupid to get pregnant.  Upset Chelsea says she knew she shouldn’t have told Tracy and storms out.  Later Tracy tells Jazzer that she feels really guilty and has made things worse; Chelsea’s in her room and won’t come out.  When Tracy thinks she should go and say sorry, Jazzer advises leaving it until the morning – Chelsea knows Tracy’s there for her.  Tracy hopes so, because she’s really worried Chelsea’s avoiding making the biggest decision of her life.

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