Synopsis
Eileen tries to get Jason to see sense and phone Sarah. David makes poisonous jibes at Gail intent on punishing her for disbelieving him over the drugs and losing him the chance of going to Italy. Gail feels terrible. Liz confesses to Deirdre that Vernon doesn't excite her in the way Jim does and says that she's calling the wedding off. She asks Deirdre to break the news to the guests. Becky's pleased to see Jason back and secretly pleased that Sarah's gone to Italy. Jim corners Liz in the ginnel and tells her how they were always meant to be together and how Vernon isn't good enough for her. Liz is furious with him. Rosie's angry when Sally bars her from attending Liz and Vernon's wedding for fear of upsetting Fiz. Vernon hears a commotion in the Rovers' backyard and goes to investigate. He finds Jim and Liz arguing. Vernon tries to intervene and Jim punches him to the ground and then decks Bob, the best man. Steve has to restrain Jim whilst Liz looks on horrified. Steve's disgusted with his dad realising that he hasn't changed at all. As Liz nurses Vernon she changes her mind and realises she does want to marry him after all. She tells Steve to get hold of Deirdre and stop her from sending the guests home.
