There's news at last for Vicky. Harry bids farewell.

Despite Rhys's reservations, Fallon's booked the comic Tug Fowler for three weeks' time, to coincide with Jolene and Kenton's return. She wants them to see what a success it will be. 

Plans are underway for Harry's leaving party. Harry apologises to Mike for his sudden departure and thanks him for the work. Mike's gracious but declines an invitation to the party. Jazzer laments that he still hasn't found a new flatmate, and Harry's promise of two more weeks' rent is little comfort. Harry bequeaths Jazzer some kitchen appliances, which Jazzer privately plans to sell. 

At the party, Rhys quizzes Jazzer about Fallon's apparent personality change. She seems on a mission to prove something, at the expense of common sense. Evasive Jazzer pleads ignorance. For her part Fallon claims Rhys has become a stick in the mud. But they all raise a glass to Harry. 

Mike and Vicky are on still on pins about the test results. Mike's talking to Jamie about another chainsaw course when the phone rings. It's difficult news, and at the beginning of a sleepless night for the couple, Mike assures Vicky that they'll find a way through it.
