Tracy’s got concerns about introducing her children to Roman. As Helen has recently met Lee’s children, she asks her for some advice. Helen advises Tracy to keep it light and casual, and reassures her that she’s a great mum.

At Grey Gables, Kate’s got everything under control for Xander’s naming ceremony. She’s delighted when, at the last minute, Adam and Ian ask her to be a guideparent along with Ian’s brother Sam. Brian’s poetry reading goes seamlessly, and Debbie’s even sent over a video message.

Jim tells Shula that Harold Jayston has been outed. He tells her that he’s doing remarkably well, and she’s largely to thank for that. She was the one who encouraged him to open up to Alistair, and supported him even when he was cruel to her. He never appreciated her as a daughter-in-law, but he hopes now he can count her as a very valued friend. He trusts that as a vicar she’ll help many people. In light of the compliment, she asks if she may donate to the Lent appeal. Jim would be happy for her to do so. He even agrees to a hug – just this once.
