Martyn delivers a bottle of wine to Tracy in gratitude for her support over Marlene. Martyn then gives Tracy a sob story about the sadness of eating alone, so Tracy invites him to join her and Jazzer for tea. When Jazzer returns later he covers his irritation by helping himself to Martyn’s wine, before they all enjoy the meal and Martyn invites Jazzer to play golf. Jazzer then excuses himself to go to band practice, despite Tracy’s protestations that they have a guest. Once Jazzer’s gone Martyn is envious of Jazzer’s hobby and Tracy wishes Chelsea had one too. Martyn then extols the virtues of Tracy’s chaotic family life, lamenting his single status and supposing he puts women off by being too serious. Tracy reckons the best thing Martyn can do is just have fun.

Fallon returns some shears she’s borrowed from Ed and suggests a drink before band practice tonight. She’s disappointed she hasn’t heard back from Ash about rejoining Dross, but Ed reckons he might just turn up anyway. At The Bull they mull over Stella doing the harvest, Fallon and Harrison’s anniversary, and Amber being in a foul mood this morning. But their main focus is the band’s reunion gig. Their good mood is punctured though, when Fallon gets a text telling her that Ash died a year ago, leaving a young family behind. Ed and Fallon struggle to take in the news, before Jazzer joins them and is equally shocked. Fallon reports that Ash’s wife, Jenna, wants to meet them tomorrow to talk about something, but hasn’t said what.
