Further details
In the aftermath of her drunken outburst on Emma's hen do, Stella is still upset about the revelation that Luke wants to move to Canada with Rob. But, she can't remain angry with her eldest son for long and must concede that he is going to move across the Atlantic.
Elsewhere, it's Dai's day in court and he's nervous to the point of sweating, which Paula finds a tad disconcerting. "He never sweats," she says. "We did it tantric in a sauna once. Dry as a bone he was - like a cuttlefish."
While Emma sits her final exam, Rob and Stella's reminiscing is interrupted by a frantic call from the teenage mum-to-be who has gone into labour at school. After a rush to the hospital - although not before completing her geography paper - Emma gives birth to a healthy baby boy and, on seeing Sunil's arrival complete the young family, Stella and Rob share a moment. A moment that Sean is none too happy about...
