Jennifer wonders where Chris lives when Alice is away. Emma likes artichokes.
Radio Times: The honeymooners return, and Ed and Emma have a secret.
Characters: Alice, Chris, Ed, Emma, George, Jennifer, Lynda, Ruairi- Ed wakes Emma with a surprise, breakfast in bed. George is with Will so they’ve time to themselves until picking George up to go to the Millennium Wood’s tenth birthday party. Emma doesn’t want to tell anyone about the baby, due in April, yet, so as not to jinx it. And it will be nice to have a secret.
- Alice and Chris arrive back from a fantastic time at Gray Gables. Champagne, flowers, scattered rose petals, big TV with all the sports channels, and a full-English in bed.
- Lynda is organising all the contributed food and drink. She compliments Emma on looking very well. George and Ruairi [who bizarrely hasn’t lost his accent yet] have detective sheets made with Hayley; they tick off the things they see. Lynda quizzes Jill. The young couple are moving into a holiday cottage soon. Yes, Alice will return to Southampton. No, Chris will stay in Ambridge because of work. Will Chris remain in the cottage once Alice has gone? Jennifer isn’t at all sure.
- Ed rushes to lift Emma off a style, Chris and Alice think he is being romantic, and what’s wrong with that, asks Emma? Chris retorts if Emma is so romantic why didn’t she ask Ed to marry her on Friday like he and Ed expected. “Oh Ed”, says Emma, “did I let you down?” Ed lets her off, just this once.
- The Edgeley Morris Troupe finish. Emma enthuses about Jennifer’s quiche. Ed learns from Jennifer about the artichokes in it. He might just give them a try.
