Summary

Tony’s learned from Lilian that Justin’s stopped volunteering the shop, and withdrew from the Business Angel awards. Jim suggests Justin might shed some light. When Tony confirms he’s leaning towards favouring the charging station, disappointed Jim suggests he take a leaflet. Jim runs through with Jazzer his somewhat regimented plan to recce local pubs for the stag night. He thinks scorecards on quality and ambience might be more efficient than trying to remember each one through a fug of beer. Jazzer’s not looking forward to seeing Ed after recent events. He pronounces George a jail sentence waiting to happen, as opposed to upset Brad who’s very quiet but has been painted a liar. Jim doesn’t want to see groom and best man at odds. He suggests Jazzer leave it to him – he guarantees Jazzer and Ed will be the best of friends by the end of tomorrow. Tony and Pat visit Helen and Lee at home for her birthday. Helen entreats Pat to stop worrying about Rob – he will go home as soon as he’s attended his mother’s funeral, they have to believe that. They’ve done all they can to protect their family. But Pat panics when she can’t find Jack. Later he’s found safe in the garden, but Pat suggests the family moves into Bridge Farm. Helen refuses. She wants normality, for everyone’s sake. Tony’s unhappy too – it’s not Pat’s decision to make. As Pat’s anxiety whips up, Tony and Lee stop her. A row ensues and Tony takes upset Pat home. Distressed Helen declares she wishes she’d never met Rob.
