Tony and Leonard celebrate their latest repairs with muffins. When Leonard tentatively suggests that Joy and Mick deserve some too, Tony puts his cards on the table – he never wanted others involved. However, Tony is overcome when he receives a special delivery from Dom at the actual Repair Shop – it’s Tony’s late son John’s repaired tractor toy. Leonard gently suggests that this is the point of the repairs, to bring joy to others. Tony accepts that they could expand their little team. They can also manage expectations by limiting drop-offs to their new set sessions at the Tea Room.

George reminds Esme what a great worker his Grandpa is, and that Eddie’d be a better choice of worker at Meadow Farm than lazy Larry she’s hired. Angry Esme reminds him that she doesn’t work with liars, and that includes Eddie.

Lynda visits Esme and proposes a joint venture of a secure dog field on her unused land. Esme rejects this – she hasn’t the time to get involved and doesn’t think Lynda and Robert would be a good advert for such an enterprise.

When Amber calls George to say that her waters have broken on her due date, Lynda offers to drive them to the hospital, where Amber’s keen to film content. Later they call Lynda to say they’re on their way home – it turns out the baby had been pressing on Amber’s bladder and she’d wet herself – making her think the baby was coming – an easy mistake for a first-time mum!
