Ian finds himself torn, and Emma offers her support.
Eddie and Emma are impressed at Little Grange when George straps the baby to his chest in his sling, calming him. It鈥檚 a little crowded at home, and Eddie says they鈥檙e always welcome to come up to Grange Farm for some space. She promises to bring round some Victoria sponge which she鈥檚 made as Ed鈥檚 birthday cake.
When Eddie arrives at The Green bearing a supply of Clarrie鈥檚 home-baked food, George sensitively tells him that Amber鈥檚 not sure about Joe as a first name for the baby. She wants something more unusual. To George鈥檚 relief, Eddie isn鈥檛 upset. Later, George shares that he doesn鈥檛 think he鈥檚 doing a great job as a parent but Emma boosts him, also reminding him of all the support he has.
Brian asks Adam how Xander鈥檚 birthday went. He has a large present to bring over, but Adam says not to, saying Xander has already had an overwhelming amount of gifts. Ignoring this, Brian drops the present round to Ian, who is impressed to see it鈥檚 a child-sized gardening station, compete with mini greenhouse. Although enthusiastic about the gift, Ian鈥檚 less so about an insistent Brian wanting to come in and assemble the set. Later, when Adam sees the gardening set, he loves it, but is then astonished to hear it鈥檚 from Brian, and that he defied his wishes. Although Ian tries to defend Brian and suggests Adam builds bridges now, Adam is resolute. They can鈥檛 let Xander see the gift. He doesn鈥檛 want Brian in their son鈥檚 life.
