Sharon clocks that Phil seems distracted, but assumes it’s him worrying about Jay. Dexter, back from Newcastle, heads over to Phil’s house with Jay. Sharon begs a frosty Jay to at least stay for a coffee, to which he agrees. Phil hurriedly rushes Sharon out of the house, not wanting to risk a knowing Jay ratting on him and Shirley. Once they are alone, Phil desperately tries to persuade Jay that sleeping with Shirley was a mistake and a one-off; it’s Sharon he’s marrying. Phil convinces Jay to stay until the wedding, to which Jay finally agrees. Aunt Babe can’t help but notice that Shirley is on Cloud nine and it doesn’t take her long to guess that it’s because she’s been seeing Phil.
