Jim drops a shocking bombshell, and Susan offers the benefit of her experience.
Susan’s keen to offer wedding help, but Tracy reckons there’s not much left to do. Tracy enthuses to subdued Susan about the theme – Jazzer’s even wearing a kilt. Later Susan frets to Helen that there’s nothing left for her to get involved in. She’s worried too about Brad and George. Brad will be staying at Ambridge View, and Neil’s decorating a bedroom, so it looks like Brad and George will have to share a room together. Helen in turn shares her concern over Henry getting into a fight at school. Susan’s reassuring when Helen suggests that she might not have looked after Henry properly. Over a break they share their memories of prison. Helen tells Susan that Emma said to her once that it hadn’t affected her close relationship with her mum. Susan’s pleased to hear this. Helen’s worried about what Henry thinks of her, and is afraid to find out.
Jim’s discovered some rather startling information about Jazzer during research for his speech. Jazzer’s knocked sideways when he discovers he isn’t actually Scottish. His parents were in the northernmost tip of England when he was born. Jazzer takes it very badly; the foundation of his existence is shaken. Distraught Jim messages Tracy, but she misunderstands his text and thinks Jazzer wants to call off the wedding. This leads to an even more heartfelt apology from Jim, who feels he should never have been best man. Tracy declares Jazzer more Scottish than bagpipes. With Jazzer suitably mollified, they all drink a toast to this sentiment.
