The wait is over for Lilian.

Jazzer and Annette are selling strawberries in a lay-by. Jazzer moans about having to look for Susan's fruit bowl. Annette offers to help. Jazzer decides to reveal his views about marriage - why chain yourself together for life? That's why he and Annette work so well. They're good mates. If they end up in bed together occasionally then that's great, isn't it.

At the shop, Neil tells Susan that Mike's asked him to be his witness. Susan reckons he should have told Mike to think again. Neil goes off to the bank, as Jennifer appears. Susan asks after Lilian. Jennifer tells her Matt disappearing was a wicked thing to do.

Neil returns from the bank. They've refused his overdraft. Tom "planning to expand" wasn't assurance enough. So he's extended their mortgage. Susan isn't happy but Neil says he had no choice.

Jennifer cooks anxious Lilian some dinner and tries reassure her. Jennifer and Lilian reminisce about their youth. Lilian tells Jennifer she always looked up to her, as she was so glamorous. Lilian suddenly receives a text. From Matt. It says "back tomorrow". She's furious he's fobbing her off with a text. But if he's coming back, she'll be there, waiting for him.
