GEMMA: If you still have feelings for her, you should probably go and see her - talk it over.
ADAM: Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
He heads off, and Gemma looks fed up.

COLIN: I'm glad.
ROSEMARY: Colin...does the evening have to end here?
COLIN: I'd like it very much if it didn't.
Oh dear God.

Ben is staying over tonight and he whispers to Toby about cigarettes for campe. Toby tells Ben he doesn't need to whisper because Joe doesn't mind if he smokes.
TOBY: It doesn't really matter because I've decided to give up smoking.
BEN: How come?
TOBY: Well, I don't really like the taste that much and I know it's bad for you.
Ben reckons he likes smoking, but Toby says he's just being a sheep.
TOBY: I dare you not to smoke in camp!
BEN: OK! You've got a deal.
The Pub
Caroline comes in just as Colin and Rosemary are leaving. She sits down at a table with Gemma and Adam.
GEMMA: Well, you still love Adam, don't you?
CAROLINE: Yes, I do.
GEMMA: (to Adam) And you still have feelings for Caroline?
ADAM: Sure. There's no point pretending I don't. But where does that leave you?
GEMMA: Well, we've become really good friends, so hopefully we'll stay that way. After today, it might have developed into something more, but it hasn't and it won't. So, I think we should just forget about it.
CAROLINE: Gemma, are you sure?
GEMMA: Absolutely! Now you two should just be together and stay together. It's what you both want.
ADAM: She's a lot smarter than we are.
CAROLINE: She sure is. How can we thank you?
GEMMA: Stop saying thank you and start talking!
As Gemma is leaving, she bumps into Melanie and Joe. She admits she's not pleased that Caroline and Adam are back together, but doesn't think she herself really stood a chance.

COLIN: Oh, yes. Before you've had a chance to miss me. Love you.
DOROTHY: You, too. I'll see you tomorrow.
Dorothy tells Helen that Colin is being very sensible.
HELEN: I think he's very lucky to have a wife that doesn't make a fuss.
DOROTHY: No, I'm the lucky one. After all these years, I never expected to be this happy again. But here I am. And this time, I'm absolutely sure it's going to last.
HELEN: Happily ever after?
DOROTHY: Happily ever after.
She smiles, happily. Poor Dorothy.
