Hayley is sleepless at Willow Farm.

Adam wants to know why Ian's late getting in to work. Ian's cagey answer makes Adam suspicious and he asks if there's someone else. Ian comes clean and admits there is - Peggy!

Adam can't understand why Ian couldn't tell him. Ian explains, and Adam understands Peggy's worry that the family would put Jack back into a home. Ian insists she's coping with his help. Adam acknowledges it was easier for Peggy to turn to Ian and it's good that Peggy felt she could, although Adam's sad she couldn't have trusted him. When Ian admits the main problem is Jennifer, Adam insists on going tomorrow so that Ian can rest. Ian reckons it runs in the family - knowing what's best for people.

Hayley's been up all night with Abbie, so they're both shattered. Hayley strolls to The Bull with Mike to check out the panto cast list, and manages to get Abbie to sleep. Kenton's delighted to be cast as Dame Trot but Mike and Eddie's disappointment is heightened when they learn they've been cast as the cow. Hayley points out how this suits their dancing and singing skills but when they burst into song all they manage to do is wake up Abbie.
