Summary

Kate’s struck by Erik’s strong resemblance to Jakob. As she welcomes him, Erik assumes she’s Jakob’s landlord and can’t believe how kind she’s being. Kate is stunned and puts him straight. Kate’s hurt that Jakob hadn’t told Erik about her. Erik quickly corrects himself – of course he knew, he’d just forgotten. Kate’s not sure whether to believe him. His gift of a smart speaker goes down well with Kate, though she accidentally gives away that it wouldn’t be Jakob’s ideal present. Honours even, the atmosphere thaws and they agree to have supper at the Bull. Alistair joins them, and they discuss Jakob as a child. Erik was always being compared unfavourably to his brother, who was diligent and organised. Kate points out that Jakob believes Erik was the favourite; he’s the fun one with the glamorous career. When Erik goes to the bar Kate and Alistair agree he seems lovely and not at all how Jakob’s made him out to be – though Alistair observes that someone this sociable and chatty would indeed be Jakob’s nightmare. Jim’s feeling overwhelmed with the burden of finding a best man for Jazzer, and a volunteer for the shop. Alistair insists his dad’s the perfect best man, and Joy a great choice of volunteer. Jim thinks Alice might be a better option. Alistair suggests Jim adds Ed to his list of alternatives for the best man role. Later he shows Jazzer the list, but Jazzer still wants Jim. He suggests Jim shares the job with Ed. Jim thinks it’s a marvellous idea.
