Fallon spots Jazzer’s extravagance, and remarks ruefully that Johnny might be the same if it wasn’t for Harrison losing his winning scratchcard. Stricken Jazzer calls Alistair, who urges him to consider Johnny, and Fallon, and come clean that he has the card. Jazzer does so, and is touched by Fallon’s gratitude. He turns the situation to his advantage when she offers him a finder’s fee. A meal voucher would be just the ticket, so that he can impress Jade of Warren Coppice. Beside herself with joy at the news of Alice’s pregnancy, Susan entreats Chris to tell his sister. But Chris isn’t going near Emma. Susan gets busy making her own list of who to tell first. It all goes wrong when she announces the news on her radio show, to which Jennifer happens to be listening. After the initial emotion of absorbing the news about Alice, Jennifer unleashes her fury on Susan. A tirade of insults culminates in Jennifer labelling Susan a shock jock. With both of them offended, Susan tries to point out that she assumed Jennifer already knew about the baby. Jennifer calms slightly as they accept their new mutual status. Susan apologises for her over excitement, and Jennifer is mollified. She becomes tearful; hearing the news on the radio brought back her worry of being of being pushed out from when Lexi was pregnant with Xander. Susan understands. They agree to support one another. Jennifer’s looking forward to things being far less complicated with this grandchild’s arrival.
