Nic's thrilled that Caroline has offered to pay for the room, flowers and champagne toast as a wedding gift. Will decides on Roy as his best man again. Nic gets the children ready to go trick-and-treating.

Neil and Tony discuss Tom's 'piggy football'. Neil thinks it's funny but Tony's nonplussed. Neil is dismayed when Pat tells him that Ivy Horrobin has died in her sleep. Her husband Bert had found her.
Susan had tried to ring Neil but there was no answer.

Neil does his best to comfort tearful Susan, feeling guilty that he didn't have his phone with him. Susan worries how her Dad will cope. She gets stuck into making funeral arrangements and ringing round the family.

Pat and Tony decide on next Sunday for Tom's rebranding meeting. Like Tony, Pat isn't keen but wants to give Tom and Helen a chance to put across their point of view. Tony is insistent that it should be family only. Tom's not happy that Brenda's not invited, but Pat asks him to go along with it. Tom worries that the meeting's not for another week. The sooner they can get the marketing back on track, the better the chance of saving the business.
