It’s George’s sixteenth birthday and Emma grumbles to Chris she hopes he’ll be back in time for the dinner she and Clarrie have slaved over. Will appears as they wait for Alice to arrive and together they reminisce about their own teenage tearaway years. As Martha sleeps, Chris admits he feels anxious for her but Emma says that’s normal with a first baby. When Alice still doesn’t arrive, Chris becomes nervous; she isn’t replying to his texts. He jumps when a phone pings but it isn’t Alice, it’s George saying he’ll be late; he’s busy planning a lads’ holiday. Chris slips off to find Alice while Will and Emma discuss their crafty son who reminds them of Joe. Phoebe doesn’t have the same vision as her mother about her yurt plans, and doesn’t want her advice. Phoebe talks to Brian about her plans and although he’s initially complimentary about Kate’s ideas, he’s furious when he understands she wants to move Spiritual Home to Phoebe’s site. Her refusal to adapt in the past cost them so much family heartache. She should back off.
