Alice tidies up, and Roy foots the bill.

It's Thursday afternoon. Bemused guests are wandering outside the church. Pat's desperate to talk to Tom but he'll only speak to Alan. Roy wonders what to do about guests and the reception at Cathridge Hall. Joe's keen to find out what's happening with all the food and drink. Alice feels horrible for Kirsty and laments her own wasted efforts. Roy sets up a tab at the Bull bar for disappointed guests - namely Joe Grundy.

At Lower Loxley, Kirsty throws her ring away. Realising that Tom expressed doubts to Helen at his stag do, she tears a strip off of Helen for not telling her. After everything she has done to support Helen with Rob. It's the end of their friendship. Tom goes after Kirsty, desperate to explain. Helen tells him to keep away and chastises him for destroying her friendship with Kirsty.

Tony's furious. He and Pat can't understand how Tom could be so heartless. Peggy reveals that she tried to tell Tom to call it off last night. When sheepish Tom turns up, no one agrees with his view that what he did was brave - rather, it was cowardly and despicable. Tony's ashamed, as John would be. Tom had better go.
