Scott throws him out. Brooke has decided to become a vegan. Cindy is annoyed with Brooke's comments and Tom's costly eco-friendly ways, and tells Brooke that it's a burger stall - if she doesn't want to buy from them, then she can "eat hummus and bang on about climate change somewhere else".
Tony and Diane visit Edward and invites him to the lunch for Verity. He is willing to give Edward a second chance for Verity's sake. Tony gets a call from Frank, his accountant. Diane warns Edward to keep his hands to himself, Tony is getting better and she wants nothing to jeopardise that. Scott refuses to listen to Mitchell's excuses.

George overhears John Paul talking about his feelings for George, but manages to cover and say that they're talking about Luther.
The kids are delighted to see Edward. Edward suggests that Tony continues to take his medication, but Tony refuses due to the side effects. Edward pours everyone a drink and spikes Tony's. Walter is shocked to see Mitchell. Mitchell is annoyed that nobody believes him over Felix. Walter believes him and tries to comfort him. Walter tells Mitchell to show Scott how much he loves him. Tony makes a toast to Verity and the family. He is pleased that everything has returned to normality.
