There is a case of bad timing at Willow Farm.

Ruth and David are in Borchester for Pip and Jonathan's performance at the Young Farmers' talent contest. They put on a good show, even though they don't get through to the next round. Off-stage Jonathan turns out to be surprisingly shy.

Roy tries hard to persuade Mike to go ahead with splitting the house into two but Mike insists the inheritance has got to be fair for Brenda too. Hayley doesn't think it's worth the worry, especially if they end up hating each other. She's had enough of hearing them talk about it - especially as she's not feeling great.

When Hayley's stomach pains get worse. Roy starts to blame them on Brenda causing so much upset, but it soon becomes clear the pains are not "Braxton Hicks". After consulting the midwife by phone, they realise Hayley's having contractions and needs to get to hospital quickly. She's not due till May, so Hayley doesn't want the baby to come this early. Mike assures them he'll look after Phoebe, and tries to keep them calm. But as Roy and Hayley drive off to the hospital it's Mike who's left to worry on his own.
