Summary

At Rewilding, Amber arrives to do some filming about the importance of being in nature. Kirsty offers to show her the perfect place to film. After Amber has finished, the pair sit as Amber says she finds pregnancy fascinating, but she didn’t realise what it would actually be like. Kirsty laughs in agreement and reveals that she’s also pregnant. Amber is overjoyed at having a pregnant friend, remarking they can be school mums together. The pair spot a wild strawberry, a Norse symbol of fertility, when Kirsty feels her baby kick for the first time. Later Kirsty is nailing dormice boxes whilst Rex hovers asking if she needs help. He has been generally overhelpful and Kirsty points out she’s still capable and he’s being overbearing. He agrees and goes to the office to leave her be.

Fallon swings by The Bull to do a handover whilst Jolene says there’s no need. Jolene gives Fallon a nice bottle of wine from the pub to go the dinner she’s making for Harrison. However, Harrison sneaks home early to surprise Fallon and she drops and smashes the bottle. But the pair laugh over their messy reunion whilst cleaning up the glass. Harrison pops to the shop to replace the bottle, and bumps into Jolene who is delighted to see him. When Amber passes, Harrison learns that George is going to be a father and wonders why Fallon never said. Cuddled up on the sofa, Harrison reveals to Fallon he is starting his new job on Wednesday, not next week as planned.
