The pressure builds on Alice and the future鈥檚 looking bright for Ben
Ben and Jill are marvelling at their coin find. One of them is gold. Jill鈥檚 keen to identify them and suggests Ben asks the university. He does so, and one of the archaeology students is keen to use Brookfield for her fieldwork. Felpersham Museum is interested too. Jill thinks they can put Brookfield on the map! She thinks Eddie鈥檚 previous forays on the land with his metal detector could easily have missed more finds.
Reflecting on the joys of looking after Xander, Alice and Chris anticipate their own baby filled future ahead of their first midwife appointment. The midwife probes Alice on her recent fainting episode. Alice assures her it was a one off. The conversation turns to alcohol, and Alice is in some distress to learn that the advice is to have none at all. She asks about the possible effects of drinking before she knew she was pregnant, and the midwife stresses it鈥檚 what happens from now on that鈥檚 important. Weakly, Alice acknowledges this. Later Chris is cross the midwife has scared Alice with her warnings about the dangers. But Alice insists she was only telling the truth, that stuff can really happen. She quietly admits she broke their no drinking pact, but is sparing with the truth about how much she actually had. Chris tells her not to worry. But she is worried. She feels better when she looks online and convinces herself others have drunk way more than her with no harm done. She鈥檒l drink nothing from now on. Chris promises the same, and they agree it鈥檚 all going to be great.
