The travellers return and there's a surprise in store for Jennifer.
Emma receives a mysterious bunch of flowers. She thinks they're from Ed, but they're not. Susan clocks Joe coming in to the shop, shamefaced. She hopes he's learned his lesson, trying to sell his own stock there.
Ruairi impresses Jennifer with his swimming skills. Brian's happy the council are in favour of his plans for the cattle market. Adam's doing well too, with the barley coming in fast.
Chris and Alice arrive home and reveal they got married in Vegas. Jennifer's simply horrified and Brian asks if they're joking!
By contrast, Susan's delighted. As Alice shows off her ring, Susan suggests they have a proper ceremony or blessing - perhaps a peal of bells.
Brian tells snobbish Jennifer to look on the bright side. Alice will be home from university more often now. Jennifer wonders why Alice couldn't choose better. They've given her every advantage in life. Brian warns Jennifer not to confront Alice and burst her bubble. Jubilant and rather tipsy Susan calls, sharing her idea for a big party. After the call, horrible reality hits Jennifer... she's related to a Horrobin!
