Jim hatches a cunning plan, and Kenton has reservations.

Jim mentions to Alistair that the EV Charging Station is making great progress.  When Jim points out how frosty things appear between Alistair and Jazzer, Alistair explains it’s because Jazzer was a bit judgey when he asked him for some advice about Denise.  When Alistair admits to Jim that he’s in love with Denise, Jim’s not surprised; it’s clear they’re fond of each other.  However, Jazzer thought that despite their mutual feelings, Alistair shouldn’t get involved with Denise because she’s married. 

Tracy’s annoyed with Jazzer for the poor turn out at The Bull quiz last night.  Jazzer had put word out that people should take care after the dog attack on Kenton.  Later Jazzer outlines to Kenton his idea for a one night only ‘Jazzer Special’ to encourage people back to The Bull.  But Tracy worries it will go wrong and Jolene’s equally stressed when Kenton explains Jazzer’s plans.

Jim visits Jazzer as he’s practicing ‘Parkour in the Pub’ even though Jazzer hasn’t ever done it before.  When Jim broaches the subject of Alistair and Denise, Jazzer’s adamant that Alistair shouldn’t act on his feelings, because of Denise’s marital status.  But Jim points out that we only have one life, and that both he and Jazzer need to trust Alistair to do the right thing.

Later at a packed Bull, Jazzer’s chickened out of the parkour and left Jim to explain to the assembled crowd that Jazzer’s ‘injured himself’.  Then Jazzer takes to the floor to make an emotional speech, indirectly telling Alistair that life is short and that he trusts Alistair to make the right decision.
