Adam is furious, and Lexi faces some difficult choices.

Ian and Lexi get carried away with all the talk of the baby but Adam is determined to keep their meeting on track - they're here to discuss what might happen next not get excited. Lexi should write a will, then there's discussing possible scenarios and complications at pregnancy as well as Lexi's accommodation.
It's Noluthando's last day and she's got some difficult goodbyes to make not least with Freddie. She is going to miss him lots. He keeps apologising for giving her the pill at the party and she makes him promise never to deal again. They agree to Skype every week and that Freddie will come to visit her in South Africa as soon as he can.

Later Ian gets an unexpected call from the clinic - they have found him a donor egg, he's over the moon.

After inspecting the site for himself a furious Adam tells Jennifer that work at the contamination site has come to a halt, costing the farm even more money, they've found some unmarked drums and can't continue until a specialist team arrive to deal with them. On top of that Adam has been told first hand that they've found TCE , an industrial degreaser which can be ingested can be ingested through contaminated drinking water causing damage to the liver, and the kidneys, and the central nervous system. And there are other containers up there too full of dieldrin and other organochlorines.... This is about as serious as it gets he tells Jennifer.
