When he's gone, Guy asks Brenda if she's throwing herself at Doug on the rebound from Roy. She says Doug will be staying for a lot more than just a quick drink!

Doug and Guy are talking about fitness. Brenda offers Doug another drink. He asks her what happened with Roy and she asys they just wanted different things - Roy was quite old- fashioned and she likes to get out and meet new people. Even after they were divorced, Brenda thought they'd get back together one day, but now he's with someone else. Brenda doesn't think she'll ever find someone else - there's nobody she finds interesting enough. Doug encourages her and says that somewhere out there, there's a bloke who's been waiting for Brenda all his life!

Graveyard
Glen is standing at his mum's grave while Gaby waits for him under an umbrella, a little way away. She walks over to him slowly and joins him. Sad music plays. They talk about Glen finding Jim - his mum didn't tell him about Jim until she knew she was dying. He doesn't know why she kept it to herself all those years. He starts to cry.

GLEN: I don't really blame her.
GABY: What is it?
GLEN: It's nothing.
GABY: Let it out, it's OK. Do you miss her?
GLEN: No, it's not that. I mean, I guess I do blame her. I guess I'm angry at her, cos she never told me years ago. I thought I was angry at Dad, because he didn't want me. But I'm angry at her, too. Why didn't she tell me?!

Outside the pub
Paul is just coming back and Caroline has been busy all day. She hasn't been able to get to the bank, so she's put the day's takings in the safe instead.
