S32·E133 Episode 3480 (Thu 3rd July 2003)

Nicola tries hard to humour the newly engaged Steph and Rodney at breakfast, but even Rodney doesn’t sound confident he knows what he's got himself into. Later, Alan pulls Steph aside for a quick chat. He asks Steph why she's suddenly taken an interest in Rodney – he's worried that the marriage is a quick fix solution to Steph's mid-life doubts. She doesn’t entirely convince him otherwise. In The Woolpack, Rodney announces an engagement party in Mill Cottage tonight, and everyone's invited.
