It’s 5.00am and Kate wakes Tony with the news that Phoebe’s in labour, but still in Blackpool. Kate insists on taking the car to be with Phoebe, potentially leaving everyone else stranded at the castle. Helen and Tony, accompanied by Leonie, then have to go and rescue Finlay’s sheep, which have got out through some loose fencing while Finlay’s still at the fire station. They do the best they can in the dark to return the sheep to their field, effecting an emergency repair job on the fencing. Kate then demands the car keys, but Tony points out he’s the only one insured to drive it. He’ll take Kate to the nearest station once they’ve got all the sheep safe, though. Leonie realises one sheep is still missing and finds it halfway up a crag, before steering it back to safety under Tony’s guidance. Leonie’s a bit overwhelmed that she managed to rescue the sheep and save its life, despite James always telling her how useless she is.Alice and Jakob do their best to keep Phoebe calm when she wants to drive up to Scotland to be with Brodie for the birth, pointing out that she needs to go to hospital instead. When they get there Phoebe insists they stay with her. After the birth exhausted Phoebe cradles her baby daughter while Alice and Jakob look on in wonder, before Kate bursts in, having travelled all the way by taxi. Phoebe says they’re calling the baby Margaret, or Peggy for short, which Kate thinks is perfect.

Kirsty helps fractious Tom and Henry at Bridge Farm, getting Henry to talk about his difficulties at school. Tom worries he’s become self-obsessed and boring, getting upset when Kirsty makes light of his concerns. She finds Tom later, who admits having vivid dreams about their stillborn son, Wren, supposing they’d still be together if he’d survived. Kirsty disagrees, but gives distressed Tom a hug, which suspicious Henry sees. Kirsty assures Henry she only hugged Tom because he was upset, asking Henry to try and get on better with him.Having seen round his croft Helen acknowledges that Finlay has a harder time of it as a farmer than her. But Finlay loves it, far preferring his life now, post-divorce, to when he lived in Glasgow. Later, they circle around admitting their feelings for each other, before Finlay’s called away to his other job, as a firefighter. Rueful Helen watches him go.Lilian and Tony go on a whisky distillery tour. Tony has loved every minute of their trip, but Lilian isn’t happy, convinced Leonie’s avoiding her. She assumes Justin and the others prefer staying in Blackpool to joining them. Tony prompts Lilian to try harder with Leonie, who’s clearly being neglected by James. Lilian feels she has to make allowances for James, due to her own poor parenting. Tony retorts that Peggy never made allowances for him, to the point he questioned whether she loved him at all. But he just got on with it and did what was best for his family. Lilian should do the same.

Jakob, Alice, Justin and Natasha are eating breakfast at their B&B, still waiting for a replacement vehicle. Justin and Natasha got happily drunk last night, while Alice likes the views and being so close to the sea. Jakob though is grumpy that they’re still in Blackpool, until Natasha promises to find him a decent cup of coffee. Alice goes upstairs to see Phoebe, who’s fretting over Kate insisting on being with her for the birth. Phoebe doesn’t want Kate taking over and pushing Brodie out of the way, so Alice agrees they’ll talk to Kate about waiting until after the birth.Later, while eating ice-cream on the pier with Justin, Natasha remembers her bipolar father, who insisted on taking her for ice-cream in all weathers. Natasha feels that she and Tom make a good balanced couple, then moans about him texting to complain about Henry. Jakob then calls with the news they finally have a replacement vehicle, before going into an amusement arcade to try and win a soft toy, where he’s spotted by Alice and Phoebe. They join Natasha and Justin at an ice-skating rink, while Jakob parks the new vehicle outside the B&B. Before heading back there Phoebe starts having contractions, which she claims are only Braxton-Hicks. Both Jakob and Alice are sufficiently concerned that they agree to wait until tomorrow before setting off, to make sure Phoebe’s okay. Besides, everyone’s having a great time in Blackpool. Relieved Phoebe is happy just to take things slowly from now on.

Lilian’s upset that the other people-carrier, driven by Jakob, was left behind at the Services and has now broken down. Tony and Helen assume they’ll catch up later, while Kate and Ruairi are sleeping in the back. Then Justin phones, explaining they’re being towed to Blackpool before a replacement is found. The others: Alice, Natasha, Phoebe and Jakob, seem okay with this, he tells Lilian, though he’ll catch a train home. But as Lilian arrives at the spectacular castle she insists Justin’s got to come! Leonie greets Lilian et al with news that they’re staying in the stable block, not the castle - and James isn’t coming. Hazel’s not there yet either. Helen discovers they’ll be sleeping in bunk beds, while Tony points out they’ve got some of the wrong luggage, before going for a river walk with Helen. They meet Finlay, a local crofter, who lends Tony his fishing gear, while Helen is very taken with him and his dog, Dash. Leonie tells Lilian that James never wanted to come, hinting that they live pretty separate lives. Finlay invites Helen and Tony to visit his croft later in the week, before going to round up his sheep. Helen then cooks a fish Tony caught, while Tony calls Justin for Lilian, who’s got no signal. Justin explains they’re still in Blackpool and making the most of what it has to offer. He doesn’t know how long they’ll be there, before ending the call, leaving Lilian in the dumps. Tony and Helen agree though, they’ve had the best afternoon in ages!
