The next thing poor Todd knows, he’s being led into a registry office while blindfolded. Theo then unleashes his big surprise – their wedding was never cancelled, so they can exchange vows there and then.

In upsetting scenes, a shell-shocked Todd recites his vows as if in a trance, clearly overwhelmed by Theo’s latest manipulation. Before he knows it, the registrar declares them a married couple.
Back at The Rovers, the recriminations begin as Theo and Todd announce their “happy” news.
