Next morning Caroline promises Gillian she will keep her secret before venting her anger on John for exposing her son to Judith's drunken antics though John makes it clear he is not marrying Judith. Caroline also reconciles with Kate and accompanies her to hospital following a suspected miscarriage, though it is a false scare and a scan shows the baby to be a girl. Alan's brother Ted comes over from New Zealand and, at Alan's stag night, all the men tell Robbie he should settle down with Gillian. The wedding goes ahead on Christmas Eve with Caroline acting as the father of the bride. Next morning both Caroline and Gillian wake up next to their ideal partners.
