Plot
Zoe is determined to prove to everyone that she can prepare for the baby’s arrival without becoming attached to it. She recruits a reluctant Scott to drive her to town so that she can buy some baby clothes. Feeling in control, she goes out of her way to buy more than she’ll ever need for the child. But after a heavy day shopping and with Scott having made himself scarce, Zoe heads back to Home Farm – only to quickly go into labour for real! With Chris and Charity away, Chloe is forced to call on Scott to act as chauffeur once again, but not wanting to be part of the birth he deliberately stalls for time and they are forced to take a taxi. But there is bad news for Zoe on her arrival at hospital, it is too late to have her planned caesarean and she will be forced to deliver naturally. Since Ray’s death, Louise has depended heavily on Terry for strength and support. The more time he spends with her, however, the more he struggles to hide his true feelings for her. But he mistakes her need for him as affection and misreading the signals and moves in to kiss her. Will she rebuff his advances or take advantage or his comforting arms? Brian bids a sad farewell to his daughter and the Sugdens. Having helped Katie move into her new home, he finds it hard to walk away, but having burnt his bridges with the Tates he has no option but to follow an offer of work away from the area.
