Zara and Daniel are still considering whether or not to have baby Joe christened to try and get him into Heathdean school. Daniel thinks they should do it as soon as this weekend, but Zara is still resistant and asks, who would they even ask to be godparent... just as they enter The Mill to see Mrs Tembe beaming out at them.
As they find themselves unified by attacks from outsiders, not least Al who lays into them for their flexible principles, Daniel finally gets Zara to agree to having Joe christened, then sets about charming Mrs Tembe. But she's not to be swayed and bluntly tells Daniel that her faith is important to her and there's no way she can condone his fair-weather Christianity.

Fliss wants to let this sleeping dog lie and, more importantly, so does Grace. But is Al completely off the hook?
