There's an emergency for Toby, and Johnny is touched by an act of kindness.
Ruth apologises to Adam for resigning as Ruairi's attorney, but admits she's glad never to have to face another partnership meeting. Adam thanks her for all she's done - and insists that they should be the ones apologising. She suggests that Ruairi's old enough to start speaking for himself.
Johnny's delighted when Freddie invites him to South Africa for a few weeks in the summer. Freddie even offers to pay some of his costs, but Johnny's not sure how he'll manage the rest. Then Tony offers to pay - after all, the whole family deserves to benefit from the Damara windfall.
Pip struggles with the hot weather - she feels like she'll be massively pregnant forever. Toby explains that he's found someone to cover the gin making for a few weeks once the baby arrives, but the conversation is interrupted when Pip starts to have contractions. She doesn't know if they're the real thing, but Toby times them anyway. In the face of Toby's fussing Pip agrees to head home, where Ruth takes charge. She identifies them as Braxton Hicks contractions. Toby leaves to check the gin and Pip admits she was scared - and Toby wasn't very helpful, despite trying his best. Pip asks her mum to be there for the birth - there's nobody else in the world she'd rather have beside her.
