Mia and Brad set off for their picnic and day together, and she\u2019s impressed he\u2019s bought vegan pains au chocolat from Fallon at the Tearoom. They enjoy the view from the top of Lakey Hill, discussing her career options around climate change and their general futures. Mia notices something\u2019s up. Brad admits he\u2019s not sure it\u2019s going to work out. He doesn\u2019t want to break up, but is certain that Mia\u2019s new life in Newcastle means they\u2019ll have to. He doesn\u2019t want her to feel pulled back by him or only half-able to enjoy things. They both make clear how much they love each other, but Brad has thought it all out \u2013 his overthinking is something Mia loves about him. Maybe they will end up together in the future, but for now breaking up seems to be for the best. Mia is stunned but agrees.

It's Ian\u2019s birthday and Adam does some low-key spoiling. Adam admits it\u2019s been stressful at work in the dairy, as Susan seems all over the place - Clive\u2019s presence has clearly left its mark. Another stress Adam\u2019s keen to avoid is being in Ian\u2019s parent\u2019s group phone chat, but Ian insists on adding him. Later in the garden, Ian bonds with fellow parent Lottie who he invited back with her daughter Maddie. Adam is a bit thrown, but adapts his dinner plans to include them. But he somewhat plays gooseberry as Ian and Lottie talk about school activities, and Ian\u2019s encouraged to join the PTA. Adam\u2019s doubtful, but Ian insists it\u2019s important to be part of the community and Xander\u2019s education.
