Waking up in the Bridal Suite, things are back on track for Vince and Elizabeth – until his mother, Iris Casey, arrives. She takes the place by storm, embarrassing Vince. But Elizabeth takes to her. Iris takes herself around Lower Loxley. First she interrupts Freddie who’s briefing the plumber. Presuming he works there, she digs for dirt on Elizabeth. Then Iris meets Rex who has to clarify that he’s not Russ.
Vince tries to track his mother down and persuade her to go home, but Iris won’t be cowed so easily. She finds her way to the Gallery. Russ asks her to leave; the exhibition isn’t opening until tomorrow. But Iris is already engrossed in the painting of Lily that Russ is working on. She thinks it’s a great likeness and is sure Lily will love it when she sees it.
Iris and Elizabeth go and look at Rex’s pigs. Iris admits her visit is to scope out Elizabeth – she doesn’t want anyone taking advantage of her Vince! Elizabeth finds that hard to believe but Iris recounts how soft-hearted Vince is, and how he stepped up as child when his father was unable to work. Elizabeth sets Iris straight on her own upbringing. Iris asks Elizabeth not to write him off just yet.
