Alistair's world collapses, and Clarrie has a visitor.

Clarrie makes tea for Bev (Nic's mum) and persuades her to accept some toast. As they discuss the funeral arrangements, Bev gets Joe to eat something too. Bev doesn't want to interfere but she tells Clarrie she's worried about Poppy - concerned that she's not getting the emotional support that she needs. Clarrie promises they'll sort something out.

Determined not to believe that Nic could have run over Matt, Ed shows Joe the funeral programme and points out what kind of good person Nic was. Joe's persuaded to agree that if Nic ran anything over, it was an animal. 

Shula sits Alistair down and tells him that their marriage is over. She just doesn't love him anymore. Later, Shula talks things through with Kenton and asks if she can stay at the Bull for a few days. 

Alistair thinks Shula moving out is over the top, as Kenton comes round to collect her things. How long will Shula be staying at the pub, wonders Alistair? Alistair's hit hard when he sees a book of Shula's about growing old together. Kenton breaks it to Alistair that sometimes things just run their course.
