Owing to Johnny’s persuasion, Stuart turns up for proceedings, while Kathy and the Mitchells make a pact to keep Ben in the dark about his marriage on the basis that Callum tells Ben and Lexi exactly what he’s been up to after the funeral comes to an end.
Callum agrees to the conditions set out to him; however, he’s stunned to the core when Ben arrives at the funeral out of the blue.
