As Jakob and Paul drive back from a vet call-out, Jakob admits he\u2019s found the atmosphere at work unbearable. He knows how hard it must\u2019ve been for Paul hearing that his parents\u2019 marriage was over, but it\u2019s their choice. And Alistair and Denise kept their relationship secret because they wanted to make sure Paul and John were told in the right way. Jakob suggests that he takes upset Paul to a nearby pub for dinner and a drink. Paul points out he doesn\u2019t need a pity-drink and that he\u2019s fine showing his feelings. But Jakob thinks Paul\u2019s hiding what he really feels, and Paul ends up admitting that he feels left out \u2013 he was his mum\u2019s go-to person. He can\u2019t believe she didn\u2019t tell him about the problems with her marriage. And then she got together with his boss and didn\u2019t tell him that either. Jakob points out that Paul might be jealous, and Paul realises that he\u2019s bottled his feelings up. He apologises saying he\u2019s going to make an effort at work.

When Alistair can\u2019t face being seen at the Bull, Jazzer and Jim share a drink with him at Greenacres. They chat about Denise\u2019s husband John and Alistair\u2019s relationship with Denise. Drunken Alistair wonders why Paul doesn\u2019t like him and Jazzer and Jim remind him it\u2019s because he lied to Paul. Alistair declares his love for Denise and says he\u2019s always liked Paul, who\u2019s fun and energetic. But he thinks Denise and Paul are really close and if push came to shove, Paul would win hands down.
