Summary

Jim gets Ed and Jazzer on board with his stag pub scoring system, though the atmosphere is frosty. Jim gets the two men reminiscing about past japes and a thaw begins but then stalls. Jazzer gets chatting to Dennis, who’s keen to join their group. Jim’s taken Ed aside for a chat, drawing a parallel between his and Jazzer’s colourful pasts and current events between George and Brad. Ed sees that the situation shouldn’t get in the way of his friendship with Jazzer. With that Jazzer introduces them to Dennis, who recommends another pub. Jazzer agrees to meet him there on Thursday to check it out. Ian tells Lee about Adam’s search for his birth father Paddy. He’s going to be talking to someone tomorrow who claims she knows Paddy. Lee asks Ian to tell him more about Rob – he feels like he’s running to catch up and wants to understand the situation better. Ian explains how Rob’s charm made it hard to spot his controlling side at first, and gives some examples. He recalls how everyone lost Helen for a while. Lee wishes he could have been there, but Ian reckons Lee’s doing a great job now. Lee thinks it’s not surprising Pat and Tony still feel afraid to this day. Ian comments that the one thing to fear is that Jack is Rob’s son. Lee admits this is how Pat made Helen feel yesterday, and he was angry. Ian thinks Helen is in a good place now and has moved on. Lee hopes he’s right.
