Elizabeth and Vince are getting ready for Vince’s birthday party. Lily is yet to appear and Elizabeth worries over her relationship with Harrison. With most of Ambridge, and the Casey clan, invited, Elizabeth hopes she did the right thing by encouraging Lily to invite Harrison, knowing how much the village loves gossip. Vince tries to comfort her and jokes that he works in the perfect line of work for body disposal should the relationship go sour. At Woodbine Cottage, Harrison tells Fallon he’s going to Vince’s party with Lily. Fallon says he guessed from his aftershave and doesn’t want to hear updates of his new relationship. After he leaves, Fallon reaches out to Grant, one of the prospective ‘Dross’ band members from last year, and invites him to meet up for dinner. Lily and Harrison chat away with Vince and Elizabeth, and Lily shares that people have clearly been bad mouthing her and Harrison behind their backs – even Steph Casey made a comment. Vince assures the couple they’ve done the hard part in showing up together. Harrison appreciates being so welcomed. Elizabeth and Vince are giving him the benefit of the doubt, but tease Harrison he’d better not hurt her. Harrison brings Lily back to the cottage, assuming Fallon has gone out. But Fallon and Grant have stayed at the cottage, too late for the pub. Grant drove, but after some flirting agreed to stay. Fallon’s not awkward as she makes drinks and introductions for all four of them.
