Henry has reservations, and Kate faces a difficult start to the new year.
Brian is buying essentials at the shop when Tony arrives in a panic. He鈥檚 realised he has thrown away three bin bags full of Kate鈥檚 belongings at the tip. Brian tells him not to worry as Kate sporadically dumps her worldly possessions and starts again. Tony, however, isn鈥檛 sure and says he鈥檒l come and apologise in person later on. Later, Kate is ranting to Brian about her missing clothes. He consoles her by saying she hasn鈥檛 lost everything and it was an accident鈥� Tony thought he was being helpful.
Joy arrives at Blossom Hill with bags of Rochelle鈥檚 clothes to replace what Kate has lost. They discuss being mothers, and Kate tells her how she gave birth at Glastonbury, and that鈥檚 when she realises her festival wristband was in one of the bags that has gone to the tip.
Tony and Henry are talking about his birthday plans, and he says going for a pizza is nice but it鈥檚 a bit embarrassing having your mum with you in the restaurant. Tony offers to have a word with Helen, but Henry doesn鈥檛 want her to feel bad. Later, Helen tells Tony the birthday treat she鈥檚 planned for Henry is far more exciting than pizza at a restaurant, and she has organised for one of Henry鈥檚 friend鈥檚 older sister to supervise. Whilst playing a computer game with Henry, Helen tells him about his actual birthday plans and how he鈥檒l be going on a tree-high adventure in the dark followed by hot dogs and hot chocolate at the caf茅 camp fire.
