Alan invites Dawn and Martin to lunch and tells Martin to remember another engagement. Martin refuses to lie to Dawn and leaves. Alan takes Dawn out and gets drunk. Ivy goes to confession about her anger towards Gail. She tells the priest, Father Donavan, that she hates Gail for not giving Brian a proper burial. He takes her into his study. He assures her that Brian is safe and advises her to make her peace with Gail. Persuaded, she begs forgiveness from Gail for her selfishness and they embrace. They agree to look forward, not back. Kevin can't cope on his own at the garage. Ray drops out of the meal so Arthur Dabner, the accountant accepts. Mavis realises that she'll have to find another woman to make up the numbers.
