When George calls at Nick and Leanne’s flat to discuss Oliver’s funeral arrangements, Leanne manically goes over all the funeral details with George.
Tracy finds Nick alone in the cafe. When Nick reveals how Leanne is busy arranging the funeral, Tracy’s concerned that Steve should be involved too.
Tracy tells Steve how Leanne is planning a celebration of Oliver’s life. Showing little interest, Steve heads back to bed. Leanne tells Nick that she’d welcome his support at Oliver’s funeral but after that, they need to work out the terms of their separation.
Leanne calls at No.1 and goes over the funeral arrangements with Tracy. Tracy admits that Steve is still in bed but assures Leanne he would never miss his son’s funeral.
Simon confides in Shona how he’s dreading giving a reading at Oliver’s funeral. Shona assures him he’ll be fine and just to speak from the heart. Simon’s buoyed by her words. Nick presents Leanne with her own memory box of Oliver keepsakes. Leanne’s touched.
Having decorated Victoria Garden for Oliver’s memorial service, Tracy worries that there’s no sign of Steve.
