Jill attempts to avert a scandal and Ian struggles to remain calm

Jill鈥檚 nervous about judging the Flower and Produce show. She can鈥檛 believe her ears when Leonard admits he鈥檚 entered the competition with her scrap cake recipe. She must make sure he doesn鈥檛 win, or she may end up being accused of nepotism.
Kirsty and Lexi enjoy the backup vegan cake Kirsty鈥檚 made. They鈥檙e about to drop off the other cake at the Flower and Produce show when Lexi鈥檚 waters break on Kirsty鈥檚 new rug. She phones Ian to tell him the news, but he mustn鈥檛 tell anyone as her contractions haven鈥檛 started yet. Ian rushes away from the Flower and Produce show, leaving Peggy to judge for him. In Kirsty鈥檚 car, Ian tries nervously to calm down an already calm Lexi.
In Ian鈥檚 absence, Jill does her best to influence Peggy鈥檚 decision on the unusual bakes category. Peggy doesn鈥檛 want Jill鈥檚 expert advice, as she鈥檚 already made her decision. Jill鈥檚 interventions weren鈥檛 necessary: Leonard鈥檚 scrap cakes came a respectable third. Kate wasn鈥檛 impressed to be beaten by Joy and her lamingtons. But while Joy may have swept the board, Peggy feels as though she鈥檚 a winner herself with the arrival of another great-grandchild.
