There’s a surprise for Eddie while Ruth attempts to reassure a loved one.

Ben has a bout of last minute nerves before his interview for a nursing course tomorrow. He doesn’t think his relevant experience will measure up. Ruth reassures him he’ll be fine. She shares her experience of having cancer and going through treatment. Ben’s inspired to hear it was the nurses who kept her sane through it all. Ruth tells him she can see him doing that kind of thing. He has empathy in spades and will be great at supporting patients.
Eddie’s looking forward to impressing the stag party he’s ferrying around this evening in the limo. If Terry Two Phones is impressed he’ll spread the word. The job goes well and Eddie returns home, ecstatic with £200 in tips. But to his surprise he has also come home with the bridegroom asleep in the back of the limo. Clarrie and Eddie drive back to Terry Two Phones’ house where Eddie dropped off all of the other stag attendees but they get no answer. Eddie thinks they should move the sleeping bridegroom into the garden but Clarrie insists they can’t leave him out in the open – he’s getting married in a few hours. Eddie’s at a loss as to what to do with him until then.
