In the pub, James and Emma discuss their family meal and James has but his wedding ring back on. Diane and Ashley drop off a wreath that had been dropped off at the church but Eric is annoyed that Diane settles the bill.

Pete reluctantly agrees to the family meal after some persuasion from Finn, and insists that Ross would not forgive him this easily. Jai shows Rishi the factory's full order book and tells him the bank has extended the overdraft so the cash flow problem is resolved. Andy goes through the old photos of he and Katie on his phone and tells Pete how they met in detention. Andy and Pete talk about their brothers sleeping with their wives and Pete asks Andy if he hates Robert, Andy admits he does, but you cannot build a life on hate. James and Emma tell their boys that they are getting back together and James will be moving into Dale View. Eric is furious to discover that Diane has cooked him a lasagna and throws it in the bin. He cracks when he realises that Diane has also washed a tea cup that still had Val lipstick stain on it and smashes the cup against the wall. Ross tries shake hands with Pete and tries to wind him up but Pete walks out of the house.
