When he sees Essie deep in conversation with obstetrician Mr T, his imagination runs riot!
Sacha admits to Essie he’s worried that their visions for their future together are too different but, later, inspired by Roxanne, Sacha tells Essie they should try for a baby - if that's what she really wants, he'll make that sacrifice. Essie, however, tells Sacha that his days of being bullied into decisions by the women in his life are over, she only wants what will make them both happy…
