The wedding's starting to feel real for Will and Nic. The seating plan is sorted, and Clarrie loves her new dress.

Joe's pleased that Will and Nic are bringing the children on Thursday. He doesn't want them to miss the lights going on, especially as he's got the special job of switching on Jim's lights, while Jim's at The Bull.

Pat can't stop herself from snapping at Helen. Tony suggests to Helen that if they knew the truth about Rich it might help them deal with how they feel about John. Helen totally disagrees. Even talking about it churns her up, and getting in touch with Sharon would only create more problems for everyone. She tells Tony that Tom feels the same way - Pat and Tony simply mustn't take this any further.

Pat finds it hard to believe that Helen has no interest in finding out if John had a son. Tony tries to explain that Helen can't face re-living the past. Tony begs Pat to stop tormenting herself. Tom and Helen have told them what they want so that's that. They must respect their wishes and leave things as they are. Pat knows, but cries into Tony's arms. It's going to be so hard.
