Freddie faces the music, and Elizabeth makes a terrible mistake.

Chris is still preparing for Fallon and Harrison's wedding. He's making them a garden ornament like he made for Jennifer. Susan's more interested in making sure he looks presentable, and discovers a loose button on his best shirt. Even Chris is worried when he finds out that Jazzer's planning to wear trainers - with the orange bits coloured in with marker pen! He insists on lending him a pair of smart shoes.

Freddie's A-level results arrive - a D and an E. He admits that they aren't spectacular, but he passed, and he chooses to see them as a good omen for his hearing later. Lily comes to support him - he's still her brother, even if she hasn't forgiven him. Freddie's expecting to be let off with a fine, but the case is referred to the Crown Court. Lily points out that this could mean prison, but he doesn't want to hear it. While Freddie thanks Usha, Elizabeth asks Lily for her help. If the worst happens Freddie's whole future will be in jeopardy, and he'll need them. Lily is upset that Elizabeth has not asked about her A Level results. She leaves, saying over her shoulder that she got two As and an A* - thanks for asking.
