Susan starts making plans and there's a generous offer from Peggy.

Alice and Chris assure Peggy that they are taking their vows seriously. Peggy shows her faith in them by presenting a cheque, which they gratefully add to their deposit fund for a new house. Shula, Nigel and Neville have agreed to ring a quarter peal for Chris and Alice on Sunday. Neil tells his son never to feel unworthy of Alice. Neil reveals that he once had a crush on Shula. How times have changed since then.

Susan speculates on her family finally joining up with the horsey set. She's determined to arrange a top notch party to mark the wedding and bring the two families together. Neil warns Susan not to run away with herself - they're not made of money. Susan visits Jennifer to talk it all over. Jennifer tries to deflect Susan's offers to contribute, insisting that she and Brian will take responsibility for the costs.

Alice and Chris plan to stay with Jennifer and Brian until the holiday cottage becomes free in September. Jennifer agrees through gritted teeth. Later, Jennifer shares her concerns about the marriage with her mother. Peggy quickly brings Jennifer up sharp for being a terrible snob, reminding her of her own humble roots.
