The Grundys attempt to complete Joe鈥檚 legacy and dinner at The Aldridges proves a nerve-wracking experience.
Jennifer鈥檚 put on a Scandinavian spread in honour of Jakob at dinner. There鈥檚 awkwardness as Jakob commits one or two gaffes with his direct approach, and the sideshow of fractious Xander鈥檚 crying becomes impossible to ignore. They鈥檙e all drawn in to the effort to quieten him. To everyone鈥檚 amazement when Jakob holds Xander, the baby falls silent. Brian鈥檚 impressed and Jennifer鈥檚 charmed; Jakob has ticked several boxes. Kate assures him the evening was a success, and so was he. She finds him even more attractive after tonight.
Brian鈥檚 pleased to confirm with Eddie his attendance at Joe鈥檚 funeral and wake; Joe was a true Man of the Soil.
Eddie鈥檚 pursuing the hangover cure recipe. He feels like Joe would have wanted them to. He recounts to Ed the insistence of Carmen that they sign a profit share agreement before taking the recipe away. When they make up the recipe the smell is pungent as they stir in the bizarre ingredients. They need the perfect guinea pig to test it out on. Ed calls Jazzer. As they agree to keep him plied with drink, Jazzer declares himself thirsty. However the experiment backfires as Jazzer eventually falls fast asleep 鈥� they can鈥檛 give him the hangover mixture! Eddie reckons Joe鈥檚 up there laughing at the situation. Ed promises they won鈥檛 give up on the cure.
