Kirsty has a change of heart and Burns Night proves a disappointment for some

The Bull’s Burns Bop was a total flop. Jolene apologises to Emma for her first night on the job being so quiet. Emma admits it gave her time to think about Nic. Later, the Burns supper, though quiet, seems to be going down well. Jolene enlists Justin to give the speech and toast, which end up being rather worthy. Meanwhile, Tracy is making the most of the free drinks Lilian promised her for Roman’s work. She and Roman sneak off to the Grundys’ party, leaving an eye-watering bar tab for Jolene to settle. With the amount she’s put away, the night will hardly cover costs.
Clarrie and Eddie reflect on the success of the night before: it made some decent money. Clarrie warns Eddie that this won’t become a regular occurrence. They want to prove a point, not put The Bull out of business. 
Kirsty recites a poem to rapturous applause. Philip’s pleased to have been approached for several building jobs off the back of his playground work. If they come off, they should be able to afford a holiday. Kirsty suggests they make it a honeymoon instead. Helen made her see sense: Kirsty loves Philip and wants to marry him; she just doesn’t want the palaver that comes with it. She’d rather it was just the two of them. It’s a firm yes from Philip.
