Matt counts down the days to freedom, and Jim brings a little of Rome to Ambridge.

Lilian's thrilled that Matt's early release date should be confirmed soon. Matt's looking forward to earning again and plans to focus on residential property. Lilian's miffed that he only seems to see her future role as fronting "his" business.

Jazzer invites himself to Jim's party dressed as a gladiator with garden fork and string shopping bag.
In the garden, Kenton and Eddie are having torch-lit chariot races with wheelbarrows. Jazzer points out that his new colleague Harry will be tucked up in bed right now - no stamina. Jennifer and Alistair say Harry seems pleasant, but Jazzer's says not to judge a book by the words!?

An accident with Jazzer's fork, coupled with the chariot racing getting out of hand, brings about a premature end to the party. Jim complains about the lukewarm response to his Cicero demonstration, and the food's hardly been touched. Brian reassures Jim, but gets distracted by Sabrina Thwaite's outfit.

As they leave the party, Jennifer tells Brian that Matt hasn't made Lilian feel happy for a long time. Yet, whenever she sees Paul, Lilian feels good about herself again. Brian suggests Paul had better watch his step, or he'll find himself in trouble when Matt gets out.
