The news spreads through Ambridge, and Pat and Tony are left with a dilemma.

Elizabeth's in a daze while the family rally round helping to distract Lily and Freddie.
Shula has the responsibility of telling the rest of the family the tragic news about Nigel. She breaks down in front of Pat and Tony as she remembers the looks on the twins' faces when Elizabeth tried to explain what had happened.

The post mortem's due on Wednesday. Jill thinks that whilst it's too early to begin planning the funeral, it would be a help if Alan could talk to Elizabeth as he lost his wife when Amy was small. Shula reflects that she was pregnant when she found out about Mark's death; the baby was the only thing she had left of him to hold on to.

Pat and Tony tell Helen the tragic news; they don't want to ruin her happiness but they'd rather she hear it from them than anyone else. Helen asks Tony for a hug.

David's exhausted after giving his statement to the police, he just can't stop picturing the dreadful moment when he saw Nigel fall. He tried to save him but it all happened too fast. He asks Jill if she thinks that Elizabeth will ever be able to forgive him.
