The future looks bleak for Peggy.

Leonie arrives and is eager to hold her nephew but Lynda's reluctant to disturb him. Robert arrives home to see Lynda bonding with Oscar, and remarks on how she's really getting the hang of being a granny.

Tony and Jennifer join Peggy to look around The Laurels. Now that it's becoming a reality, Peggy starts to see fault in everything. She's worried that the room seems smaller than before but Jennifer thinks it'll be homely once they've moved Jack's things in. Tony remarks that at least Jack will be able to see some of the garden from the room. He'll ask if Jack can have a bird feeder outside the window.

Peggy tries to reason that Jack will be in a stronger position if a bigger room becomes available if he's already there. But when Mrs Dawson reminds her that all of Jack's clothes will need his name and room number written on them, Peggy gets upset. Jack's been reduced to a number like a prisoner. She's dreading the moment when she'll have to leave Jack there. Jennifer says she won't be on her own. Peggy knows that, but Jack will be.
