Miranda moves into Home Farm, and Kirsty swears Helen to secrecy.

Helen welcomes Miranda to Ambridge after her move yesterday, before Kirsty asks Helen to be with her for a pregnancy test. Kirsty鈥檚 spoken to Erik, but not said anything to him about her situation. When the test shows positive Kirsty cries, thoughts of another miscarriage weighing on her, despite Helen鈥檚 reassurances. Kirsty hasn鈥檛 really made any plans with Erik, but is sure that he鈥檒l do his bit, before swearing joyful Helen to secrecy.

Ian turns up at the Eco Office with lunch for Adam, who chastises himself for continuing to work there as if nothing鈥檚 happened. Ian suggests a walk, vowing to support Adam whatever happens. Adam remembers how Brian first taught him to love the land, but now he sees the damage Brian has done and wants to rectify that before passing the land on to Xander. Adam can鈥檛 see how that鈥檚 going to happen, though. Ian then suggests the radical step of flying out to Hungary and talking to Debbie.

Alice goes to welcome Miranda into her new home, but finds it difficult seeing how much everything has changed. Alice apologises for Brian鈥檚 behaviour before Miranda offers a tour of the house. In Kate鈥檚 old room Alice reminisces her childhood, then wonders if Brian was overwhelmed by the thought of too many memories. Miranda thinks it鈥檚 to do with Ruairi instead, but doesn鈥檛 know what鈥檚 going on in Brian鈥檚 head. She thinks he鈥檚 changed since around New Year, and wishes he鈥檇 told her before she exchanged contracts. But really Alice should worry about Brian, not her.
