Storyline

Peter takes to surrogate fatherhood happily, assisting Honor with his nephew and learning to change nappies. He helps Cynthia from the Womens' Institute prevent the local light-house from closure, which involves stemming objections from the elderly Tucker sisters. More sibling trouble occurs when he persuades the warring Smith brothers, who run rival fast food vans in opposite lay-bys to stop throwing food at, and mooning, each other and work as a team, rather than taking each other to court. He and Beatrice, along with their aunt Auriel, attend baby Daniel's christening, Beatrice and Peter acting as godparents. On their return home they receive a shock. Simon is not dead after all but waiting for them.
