Ena sees her near the Red Rec and lets him know. Harry finds Concepta on the swings. She cries about having a baby at her age. Harry reveals that he went to the doctor after they got married and was told they have nothing to be frightened of. Concepta is re-assured. The Walkers baby-sit Lucille while they go to the pictures.

- TV Times synopsis: Harry cannot understand why Concepta has become so difficult. But matters are made even worse when Concepta overhears some gossip in the Corner Shop which sends her running straight to Annie.
