Plot
Ashley tells the Kings of Tom's defaced gravestone and it proves to be the final straw for a fragile Jimmy. He heads to the Woolpack and almost provokes a fight with Zak. Attendance for the funeral is scant and it's clear that nobody is comfortable with the service. During Matthew's funeral, Jimmy angrily demands to know who defaced Tom's grave. At the wake, Carl thanks Chas for attending the funeral and insists that she got him through the day. They hug and Chas finds herself enjoying being close to him again. Meanwhile, Anna  tells Katie the company she worked for before moving to Emmerdale has asked her to rejoin them. As Anna drives away, she sees a distraught Jimmy trying to finish burying Matthew.
