Jazzer makes a promise he might not be able to keep.

Jazzer makes a promise he might not be able to keep, and Emma sets out to impress.

Emma’s sorry she can’t make a cake for Tracy and Jazzer’s second wedding, but Tracy’s insists they’ve already had their wedding cake and can’t justify another one. They talk about the scene in the Tearoom between George and Helen; Emma maintains she’s given George what for over the video he made, but she’s not sure he’s hearing her. Tracy reckons she should stick with it. Emma thanks her. It’s been stressful minding the Tearoom while Fallon was away. Tracy suggests Emma applies for Head of Housekeeping at Grey Gables; it comes with a nice salary. Emma questions her own credentials, but Tracy convinces her she’s more than qualified. Emma approaches Adil, who directs her to the website where she can submit an application.

Hannah’s running out of options for accommodation. She might have to leave Berrow and move back home. Jazzer offers their sofa for as long as she needs it. Neil feels responsible; if he hadn’t sacked George, Hannah might not be being evicted. Hannah insists it’s not on Neil – she just needs to focus on finding somewhere to live. Later she thanks wrongfooted Tracy for being a life saver, offering their sofa, and shares the joke Jazzer made about giving Hannah his bed. Shocked Tracy confronts Jazzer. He clearly didn’t give any thought to his family when he offered Hannah free run of their house. In trying to smooth things over Jazzer ends up talking about his crush on Hannah years ago. This is the last straw for irate Tracy – it’s a good job they’re not married yet!
