Lexi discovers that she's pregnant
Katie realises how ill Andy is when he thinks that she's still his wife. Katie attempts to get through to Andy and explains that Paddy's found an infection in the sheep. However, her concern grows when Andy changes the subject and asks where she wants to go on holiday. Katie doesn’t know what to say and when Andy suggests they ask Jack to lend them the money, she rushes out in a panic.

Katie informs Diane and she agrees to see him, but fails to understand the gravity of the situation. Paddy tells Katie that he had no choice but to call DEFRA. Diane arrives at the farm and is shocked by the desolation. Finding the farmhouse in a state of disrepair and Andy nowhere to be seen, Diane is deeply worried. Can she do anything to help Andy?

Elsewhere, Lexi buys a test and asks Scarlett to stay with her while she takes it while Carl is out on business. Lexi is overjoyed to discover that she's finally become pregnant. Later, Carl returns from work and Lexi delights in telling him that she's pregnant. They hug but the look in Carl's eyes shows anything but joy.

Carl confesses to Jimmy that he isn't sure he wants another child. Nicola summons up some enthusiasm when Jimmy tells her the news and offers Lexi some guidance in forcing Carl to pander to her every whim.

At the Woolpack, Jimmy tries to raise Carl's spirits and tells him that their children will represent the next generation and resurgence of the King family. Will this hope be enough to turn Carl into a model father?

Meanwhile, the factory staff are sent home from work for the third or fourth time as work continues to dry up. Pollard promises Val that he's working hard to sign up more clients and is confident of success. Unfortunately, though, Pollard attends a meeting which goes badly and he admits to Val that nobody's interested in giving them business.

He gives her a letter which shows that he hasn't been paying their suppliers and warns her that the factory could close. Can Pollard save himself from ruin?
