Stella makes a big declaration, and Helen eagerly anticipates an answer.
Stella tells Pip her genomic test kit has arrived and suggests doing it straight away. Pip demurs, asking whether Stella will still want to marry her if it鈥檚 bad news. Upset Stella wonders how Pip can even ask that, before walking out. Pip then reveals to Ruth that she ordered the test. Ruth assumed they鈥檇 at least talk it over first, but Pip explains both her and Stella couldn鈥檛 cope with the stress of waiting, while acknowledging the result will have implications for all the family. Ruth admits she鈥檚 a little hurt but not cross, then apologises for not being as supportive as she might have been. Pip reasons that she won鈥檛 do the test until after the wedding, explaining to Stella that she doesn鈥檛 want anything to spoil their big day. Stella was too worked up earlier to understand, but she does now, before inviting Pip and Rosie to move into the bungalow.
Tracy and Susan discuss Bert settling in well at Clive鈥檚 flat, though neither of them really believes the glowing reports they鈥檙e getting. Susan encourages Tracy to take the full-time job in the Dairy, but Tracy鈥檚 worried she鈥檒l end up looking after Bert once more. Susan offers to share the care if it comes to that, before Tracy talks to Helen and explains her dilemma. She鈥檚 realised that caring for Bert over the years stopped her being there more for Chelsea and Brad. Helen鈥檚 sympathetic, managing to talk Tracy into accepting her offer. Later, proud Susan insists on buying Tracy鈥檚 lunch to celebrate her new job.
