As the week of Zoe’s funeral arrives, plans are in place to ensure everything goes smoothly. But when other family members notice a problem with the order of service, panic sets in that this might set off grieving mum Kat.

Meanwhile, struggling Jasmine finds it impossible to find the right words for Zoe’s eulogy and turns to Patrick for support. Will his sage wisdom help her to pay tribute to the woman she was so desperate to find?

"Jasmine longed for a relationship with her mum," points out our source. "The chance to build a close bond with Zoe was cruelly ripped away from her, but Jasmine’s unconditional love for the woman she never knew is still strong. She feels that Slater connection in her bones…"

With the funeral fast approaching, Jean, Mo and Honey race to fix the mistake on the order of service without Kat finding out.

Later, while in The Albert, a customer causes trouble and upsets Jean, so Jasmine steps in to protect her. It’s a touching moment for the family as the Slaters can’t help but see a resemblance of Zoe in Jasmine.

But despite this closeness, Kat’s weighed down with grief, and it gets her into serious trouble! When Cindy and drunk Kat clash with a customer outside The Albert, all hell breaks loose…

The next day, the fallout from the night before continues as Kat finds herself opening up to Cindy. When she reiterates her determination to get revenge on the person who left Zoe to die, Cindy has a flash of guilt – will she tell Kat what she knows?
