Radio Times: Maria makes her debut at The Lodge.

Characters: Christopher, Debbie, Jack, Jennifer, Maria, Peggy, Susan

• Debbie arrives back from Hungary. Jennifer is disappointed to hear she is planning to spend some of the time with Alice in Southampton so it will be a short visit. But Debbie suggests that she should come out to Hungary where she will be able to meet Marshall. Meanwhile, Christopher turns up with another list of things Alice wants him to take down to Southampton at the weekend.
• Christopher is already measuring up Emma’s room for when she moves to Rickyard. Susan isn’t sure about it but Christopher says she has to believe it’s going to work this time.
• Peggy is still very uncomfortable about Maria when she goes to The Lodge for her first day. She gets on well with Jack but Peggy won’t even leave the room. Jennifer gets very frustrated but does manage to persuade Peggy at least to go to Jennifer for lunch the next time Maria is there.
