Kate has important news, and Leonie comes to the rescue.
It鈥檚 5.00am and Kate wakes Tony with the news that Phoebe鈥檚 in labour, but still in Blackpool. Kate insists on taking the car to be with Phoebe, potentially leaving everyone else stranded at the castle. Helen and Tony, accompanied by Leonie, then have to go and rescue Finlay鈥檚 sheep, which have got out through some loose fencing while Finlay鈥檚 still at the fire station. They do the best they can in the dark to return the sheep to their field, effecting an emergency repair job on the fencing. Kate then demands the car keys, but Tony points out he鈥檚 the only one insured to drive it. He鈥檒l take Kate to the nearest station once they鈥檝e got all the sheep safe, though. Leonie realises one sheep is still missing and finds it halfway up a crag, before steering it back to safety under Tony鈥檚 guidance. Leonie鈥檚 a bit overwhelmed that she managed to rescue the sheep and save its life, despite James always telling her how useless she is.
Alice and Jakob do their best to keep Phoebe calm when she wants to drive up to Scotland to be with Brodie for the birth, pointing out that she needs to go to hospital instead. When they get there Phoebe insists they stay with her. After the birth exhausted Phoebe cradles her baby daughter while Alice and Jakob look on in wonder, before Kate bursts in, having travelled all the way by taxi. Phoebe says they鈥檙e calling the baby Margaret, or Peggy for short, which Kate thinks is perfect.
