Jazzer is not in the mood, and just who will be gorgeous George?

It's St George's Day... almost. Kenton has plans to celebrate at The Bull across the whole weekend. He banters with Scottish Jazzer who isn't entering into the English spirit of things. Eddie has finally been paid by Lynda, but is worried about money because of Alf's debt. Kenton dons chain-mail for St George, but Jolene refuses to dress up as the dragon. When Jazzer declines too, Kenton draws the short straw. Jolene, meanwhile, makes a fine George. The Quiz Night is a success.
DS Madeley goes to see Rob in hospital to get his statement. Rob says he is not as strong as he was, so Madeley will have to push his wheelchair for him. Rob tells Madeley that Helen had been acting strangely for some time. Madeley wants to know about the night in question but Rob seems intent on telling Madeley about the events before. Madeley asks if there was a trigger for this incident, and Rob asks for time to ponder that. Rob's voice cracks with emotion as he talks about Kirsty. He implies that Kirsty and Helen's relationship is deeper than friendship. Rob insists that he can't remember much of the day of the incident. He is tasked with going through his statement and signing it off. Rob starts crying, saying that all he ever did was love Helen.
