Kat thinks that her babies are on the way, so cunning Alfie rushes her off to a children's shop, hoping that they will give her free gifts if her waters break there! However, it turns out to be a false alarm.

Later, when Alfie returns to work, he is shocked to find that his pitch has been given away. Ruthless Aleks refuses to give it back until a sympathetic Roxy intervenes. As the day continues, Aleks learns that Alfie went to his boss over the dispute. Aleks goes to the Moons' house and calls a truce with Alfie, but it's all a front as he is secretly planning to take revenge.

Soon afterwards, the day of surprises continues as Alfie finds Jean and Lily at the door…
