It's the day of Great Nana Doreen's funeral - her dying wish was for Tom to be a pallbearer, which Tom thinks is unfeasible because Lauren's family are all freakishly tall.

Neil pops over with a condolences gift and then Lauren and Becca argue about who was Great Nana Doreen's "most special girl".
