Daniel recalls losing Sinead so soon after their wedding and how important it is to cherish your loved ones. Peter orders Daniel to put on a suit as he’s coming to the wedding as best man. A radiant Carla appears in the cafe in her wedding dress and asks Roy if he’d do her the honour of giving her away. As they head to the car, Peter stumbles. Daniel asserts they should take him to hospital rather than his wedding, but Peter refuses and orders Daniel to drive him to his wedding. Peter finally arrives at the hotel with Daniel in tow. Peter and Carla read out their own vows but it’s clear Peter’s struggling and Carla urges the registrar to speed up proceedings. Will they manage to become man and wife?

Craig confides in Kirk how he’s been offered an opportunity with the CID, but if Faye goes to prison, it could scupper his career.
