Will and Nic find that the registrar does have a slot on 1 January, and Caroline manages to accommodate them too. Nic can't believe it, especially when she realises they are to be married in the Darrington Room, where the Duchess of Cornwall had her tea. Nic's mum will be delighted. Shula and Caroline have lunch together and have a good catch up.

Emma is off to see her nan, and not looking forward to it, as Ivy is so poorly. But she is looking forward to going to the cinema with George this afternoon. However, when they come out of the cinema, they bump into Clive. He manages to get George to agree to go bowling with him, to Emma's horror.

She goes home and tells Ed, who is very clear that they will not allow it. They'll take George out somewhere on that day themselves, and they'll get Susan to tell Clive. What with that and seeing Nic sporting a sparkly new ring, it's not a good day for Emma. When Ed tells her the wedding is a good thing, as it takes the pressure off them for a bit, Emma flounces off.
