It鈥檚 the day of Martha鈥檚 naming ceremony, and as the family wait for Jennifer to be ready, Alice is the calmest person in the room. There鈥檚 an awkward moment when Brian expresses his surprise that Lilian hasn鈥檛 yet appointed a new manager for the Stables; she鈥檚 brave to take it on herself.
Neil鈥檚 confides to Chris he鈥檚 dreading having to cross paths with Brian, but in the end the two make a good fist of polite civility. Alice admits to Chris she鈥檚 aware there was a time when this occasion couldn鈥檛 have happened, and she鈥檚 grateful.
Shula confirms with Alice and Chris that both grandfathers will speak, and that Fallon will sing, and the ceremony gets underway. Afterwards it鈥檚 clear both grandmothers were moved to tears, and Alice misinterprets Susan鈥檚 squeezing of Tracy鈥檚 hand as the emotion of the occasion. She comments that Tracy must be relieved to have Chelsea back home, and asks about Blake. Tracy asserts Blake and Chelsea are just friends, nothing more.
Shula mentions to Neil the delicate issue of their crossed wires last year; she hopes it doesn鈥檛 affect things with Susan. Neil insists it鈥檚 all forgotten about, and the two warmly acknowledge their mutual friendship. Neil reckons she鈥檒l be brilliant in her new role. Lilian finally admits to Alice it was she who was reluctant to offer Alice the Stables job, not Justin. Alice understands and forgives Lilian, but thinks the Stables would be perfect for her. Lilian agrees. They鈥檒l make a fresh start together.
