Sally wonders if she may be pregnant, but the doctor quickly reports a negative test. Of course, that's not stopping Peter, Simon, Jane, Auntie, and eventually even David from getting the wrong end of the stick - not to mention the rest of the town!
On her way to buy a sauna bath, Sally has an accident in David's car. As she conceals both events from David, and with the children talking of a friend's parents' divorce, he begins to feel uncomfortable about her keeping secrets...!
