Lily seeks advice from an enemy, and Brian receives an unexpected offer.

It's the morning after Freddie and Lily's party. While Freddie sleeps it off, Lily tells Elizabeth that his DJ-ing was a huge success but when Elizabeth takes this to mean that Freddie's finally turning things around, Lily cannot bring herself to reveal the drugs nor Freddie's newfound plan to drop out of college to peruse DJ-ing.

Elizabeth expresses doubt about getting everything ready for the wedding on Friday so Lily offers to help. Later on Lily confides in Noluthando, that Freddie took a pill last night. Freddie, finally emerging from his bed is furious at Lily for flushing the rest of his pills down the toilet. Lily tells him that their father would be disappointed but as far as Freddie's concerned he isn't their father, and doesn't want to be.

Justin asks Brian to his stag party, he agrees but enquires further about the sudden turnaround of the wedding. Justin reveals he's forgiven Lillian's flirtation. Brian tells him he's been nominated for a business award which Justin encourages him to go for. 

Elizabeth visits Pip where she learns of her plans to keep the baby. Elizabeth is supportive but is worried about Pip telling her parents.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
