The guilt gets too much for Brenda.
Pip does a great job helping with a difficult lambing. When David says her granddad wants her to go star-watching again, Pip's clearly more interested in Jonathan.
Roy won't answer Brenda's calls. Mike's also feeling helpless and they're relieved when Roy says the jaundice that Abbie has isn't uncommon in babies but he tells Brenda that there's plenty that could still go wrong. When Mike suggests Brenda goes with them to see Abbie, they sense that Roy's not keen. Brenda's convinced Roy blames her for Abbie being premature.
Mike tells Brenda that he has a solution to the house problem. If he goes ahead as planned, when Brenda decides to buy a property Mike can release equity in his share to give her a deposit.
Brenda realises Roy's right - it's her fault. Tom thinks that's nonsense but Brenda's terrified Abbie might die. Tom suggests she talks to Hayley but Brenda thinks Hayley might feel the same way. Tom decides he'll ring Roy. To his surprise, Roy tells him that Brenda's right, and with a sick baby to look after, Roy hasn't got time to worry about Brenda's feelings. Brenda will just have to come to terms with what she's done on her own.
