Sarah hopes that having a new baby might help heal the rift that has come between her and Jack. He says he is worried about her age, but Sarah says she will go to the doctors surgery for a check up. Zoe has also got the baby blues, but she doesn't count on Sophie's strong feelings about lesbian parents. Kim reckons Doug is paying way under par for the golf course but reluctantly is forced to accept his offer. Doug meanwhile has teed-up a diner date with Kathy who is more than impressed with his chauffeur driven limo. They set off for a night at the casino.
