Jackie tells Jimmy about her night with Shelley, and he wants to talk about it with Lindsey, who is convinced her mother is in the wrong, and ensures that he doesn't believe her. After a shouting match, and spending some time in the garden to clear his head, he goes to sleep in the extension.
Both Marty and Nisha suspect that there is something amiss with Bev and Fred's marriage. Jimmy consults a solicitor about divorcing Jackie for sleeping with a woman, and tells her he is never going to argue with her again.

Diane encourages Marty to take Jimmy out to the pub, where, after drinking and playing pool, Jimmy reveals why he is divorcing Jackie.

Ron tells Jessie he was more impressed with Brigid's work than hers. Leanne returns to the bar with new clothing and a new persona, of which some people are suspicious.
