Summary

George helps Eddie set up the cider shed, as Eddie has invited family over to wet the baby’s head following a healthy scan. Eddie reminisces about wetting baby George’s head with Will and David. George is glad Eddie and Will have made up, and Eddie praises George – he’ll be a great dad. Later, Eddie and George walk home, joking about Eddie’s baby name ideas. They bump into Rex who shares cricketing woes - and ideas for a new, different venture. George stops to relieve himself, reacting to a passing car horn.

After going for a ride with Alice, Rex offers to help make Martha’s birthday cake, but Alice worries about him being in the house. Rex wonders why they need to keep their relationship a secret. Alice agrees to tell Chris, but only after Martha’s birthday. Kate arrives and they wonder if she saw them kissing, before Kate grills Alice on her plans for Martha’s party tomorrow. Rex gives Alice a gift for Martha, while Alice tries to put Kate off thinking there’s anything between her and Rex. Later, Kate reveals she saw the kiss and they joke about Brian thinking he brought Alice and Rex together. Alice asks Kate not to tell anyone, but admits she’s thrilled. However, Kate soon drops Kirsty an obvious hint. Kirsty isn’t shocked, but realises she played gooseberry when her, Rex and Alice went out recently, before telling Kate about her next exciting trip with Erik. They binge-watch their favourite TV show, before challenging each other’s will-power over screen addiction and keeping secrets.
