Stacey is stunned when she learns why Jean is there. Carol attempts to help Max get his life back on track. Tamwar has a proposition for Nancy.
At breakfast, Martin watches Stacey takes her medication and dole out Lily鈥檚 vitamins. Jean appears, having gone straight to bed after announcing her engagement. Stacey takes the day off work and fondly watches Jean sing 鈥業鈥檓 a Little Teapot鈥� with Lily. With Lilly at school, Stacey confronts Jean about her wedding plans and Jean announces the wedding is tomorrow. Stacey reels to learn Jean鈥檚 been engaged for 2 months and didn鈥檛 tell her; Jean retaliates that Stacey didn鈥檛 tell her about Martin either. Jean explains she wanted to tell Stacey but knew she鈥檇 question her decisions like she always does. Stacey鈥檚 hurt and wants to know if Jean鈥檚 taking her medication; outraged, Jean furiously insists she is and is adamant she can cope without Stacey. When Stacey snaps Jean can鈥檛 blame her given she was in hospital last year, Jean storms out.
Stressed Stacey hunts for Jean and leaves her a worried voicemail apologising; Martin鈥檚 shocked to learn of Jean鈥檚 previous suicide attempt. Meanwhile, Shirley encounters forlorn Jean sat on the war memorial. Jean invites Shirley to the wedding but doesn鈥檛 think Stacey will come, sad that she isn鈥檛 happy for her. Shirley vows to have a word. Meanwhile, Martin asks about Bipolar. Stacey eventually opens up and talks about her medication. Martin tentatively asks if she鈥檚 ever tried to kill herself. Stacey says no although she admits to having dark periods in her life 鈥� but she takes her medication every day for Lily鈥檚 sake.
Stacey鈥檚 relieved when Jean returns flanked by Shirley, who berates Stacey. Stacey claims she鈥檚 happy for tearful Jean and hugs her. Reconciled, Jean speculates if Stacey might marry Martin, remembering she thought she鈥檇 never be happy again after Stacey鈥檚 dad died but she is now with Ollie.
Later, Stacey and Jean return from wedding shopping; excitable Jean presents Lily with a bridesmaid dress but snaps at her for snatching, clocked by uneasy Martin. As Stacey shows off her own dress, Jean spots the key around her neck. Stacey explains it was her dad鈥檚 that Sean gave to her. Jean pales and flies at Stacey, shrieking at her to take it off. Outside, Ollie鈥檚 car鈥檚 just pulling up as Jean races out and insists they鈥檙e leaving. As the car pulls away, Stacey vows to Martin to find out what the key is for鈥�
As Tamwar leaves the Vic, Nancy apologises for the lack of sleep due to Oliver鈥檚 crying. Tamwar urges Nancy not to deal with her seizures alone anymore. Over breakfast, Lee fixates on a newspaper article about army heroes. Jittery, Nancy drops a glass as Lady Di barks and Oliver continues to cry.
Later, Nancy calls in at the market office where Tamwar broaches the subject of her seizures again; Nancy explains the doctor thinks stress might be triggering them and is convinced if she got enough sleep they鈥檇 return to normal. Tamwar suggests she move in with him. Later, Nancy finds preoccupied Lee in the caf茅, who claims he鈥檚 finished work early. He gets upset to learn Nancy鈥檚 considering living with Tamwar and bolts suddenly, to her surprise.
Carol鈥檚 up early and keen for a new start. She arrives at Max鈥檚 house to sort his life out, irked to spot a property developer board outside No. 1. As she tidies, Carol discovers a letter revealing late mortgage repayments; Max admits he鈥檚 facing a court action but thinks it鈥檚 not a real home without his kids and resolves to sell up. Carol suggests Max rent the house instead and offers him her sofa. Max isn鈥檛 keen but can鈥檛 find work and reluctantly agrees. Carol gets defensive when Max insinuates she should sort her life out too.
Later, Sonia鈥檚 annoyed Carol made the decision to move Max in on her own without consulting anyone. Carol rants Sonia would rather see her knitting in a rocking chair.
