It’s 5.00am and Kate wakes Tony with the news that Phoebe’s in labour, but still in Blackpool. Kate insists on taking the car to be with Phoebe, potentially leaving everyone else stranded at the castle. Helen and Tony, accompanied by Leonie, then have to go and rescue Finlay’s sheep, which have got out through some loose fencing while Finlay’s still at the fire station. They do the best they can in the dark to return the sheep to their field, effecting an emergency repair job on the fencing. Kate then demands the car keys, but Tony points out he’s the only one insured to drive it. He’ll take Kate to the nearest station once they’ve got all the sheep safe, though. Leonie realises one sheep is still missing and finds it halfway up a crag, before steering it back to safety under Tony’s guidance. Leonie’s a bit overwhelmed that she managed to rescue the sheep and save its life, despite James always telling her how useless she is.

Alice and Jakob do their best to keep Phoebe calm when she wants to drive up to Scotland to be with Brodie for the birth, pointing out that she needs to go to hospital instead. When they get there Phoebe insists they stay with her. After the birth exhausted Phoebe cradles her baby daughter while Alice and Jakob look on in wonder, before Kate bursts in, having travelled all the way by taxi. Phoebe says they’re calling the baby Margaret, or Peggy for short, which Kate thinks is perfect.
