Matt's news puts a dampener on Adam and Tina's baby-making plans. Adam tries to convince his son to do the right thing and is stunned to hear that Matt wants to keep the baby. Despite Matt agreeing to tell Karen, Adam weighs in and is about to do the deed when Karen gets an important work call and the Williams boys slink off with a prolonged execution! It is Karen's daughter Ellie that blurts out that her twin, Olivia is pregnant and Karen is horrified to learn that Adam already knew. Hurt and upset, Karen is on the warpath but supports her daughter's decision one hundred percent. Can Karen keep hold of her business while her back is turned or is Benjamin sharpening the knife?
David is put on the spot by someone with an axe to grind. As he frantically tries to work out who this mystery man is, George puts him out of his misery; he's Nikki's husband and is convinced that David has been banging his wife! Thinking on his feet, David concocts a story about providing financial advice for her 'nail bar business,' and George backs off, for now. David meets Robyn for a drink and gets the news no father wants to hear.
The Giffords have problems of their own - Jen's mum Barbara has gone missing. Jenny isn't concerned but sister Sheila thinks it's out of character and she knows her better, since she lives with Barbara and Jenny rarely visits. As day turns to night and there's still no sign of Barbara, Jen and Pete start to worry. Has Jenny been a bad daughter? Is there more she could have done for her dear old mum? And will Barbara ever turn up?

Last week's closing revelation saw the carousel of bittersweet middle-age inconveniences stop at teen pregnancy. The gathering of the kids too young to have a child, and the parents who aren't ready to be grandparents, prompts the predictable shouting, speeches, learning and staring into space backed by piano ballads, but it's compassionately handled. Meanwhile, there's a fresh burden for the perpetually overwhelmed Pete and Jenny (John Thomson and Fay Ripley).
