Phoebe plans for the future, and Justin is out of his comfort zone.
Jakob, Alice, Justin and Natasha are eating breakfast at their B&B, still waiting for a replacement vehicle. Justin and Natasha got happily drunk last night, while Alice likes the views and being so close to the sea. Jakob though is grumpy that they鈥檙e still in Blackpool, until Natasha promises to find him a decent cup of coffee. Alice goes upstairs to see Phoebe, who鈥檚 fretting over Kate insisting on being with her for the birth. Phoebe doesn鈥檛 want Kate taking over and pushing Brodie out of the way, so Alice agrees they鈥檒l talk to Kate about waiting until after the birth.
Later, while eating ice-cream on the pier with Justin, Natasha remembers her bipolar father, who insisted on taking her for ice-cream in all weathers. Natasha feels that she and Tom make a good balanced couple, then moans about him texting to complain about Henry. Jakob then calls with the news they finally have a replacement vehicle, before going into an amusement arcade to try and win a soft toy, where he鈥檚 spotted by Alice and Phoebe. They join Natasha and Justin at an ice-skating rink, while Jakob parks the new vehicle outside the B&B. Before heading back there Phoebe starts having contractions, which she claims are only Braxton-Hicks. Both Jakob and Alice are sufficiently concerned that they agree to wait until tomorrow before setting off, to make sure Phoebe鈥檚 okay. Besides, everyone鈥檚 having a great time in Blackpool. Relieved Phoebe is happy just to take things slowly from now on.
