I'm sorry - again this is a long one but it's hard to pick out details. Every part of this episode seemed important enough to mention.

At the hospital, Peter sits in the mortuary with Assumpta for a few moments, stroking her hair, but when Michael comes to collect him, he is told that Peter has already left. He asks Ambrose to find Peter as everyone is worried about him. Ambrose sees him at the statue of the Blessed Virgin where he met Assumpta when he was first in BallyK. Peter is distraught, but Ambrose, unexpectedly, is angry. He seems to resent the fact that Peter feels he is the only one who is grieving. He makes a point of telling Peter that Assumpta was well loved before he ever came to BallyK. Ambrose had known her for 23 years - they were at school together. Brendan taught them, Michael delivered her, Padraig baby-sat her. He wants Peter to know that he is not the only one and people need him to be supportive.

Peter however, cannot cope with anyone putting pressure on him. He asks Ambrose what Assumpta was like at school and Michael how she was when he delivered her. But, they are both evasive and he gets no comfort from their answers. He is taken home where Fr. Mac calls on him and tells him he wants a decision about Peter's future. Peter cannot think about this and he sends him away.

Everyone else in the village is having a hard time too. Brendan is letting his class talk about Assumpta. He emphasises how young she was and a couple of the children ask was she punished and sent to hell because she didn't go to Mass? Kevin O'Kelly gets very upset and starts a fight with one of the boys. He runs out of school and is taken home by Padraig who tries to explain things to him.

Brian insists on continuing the opening night of his new restaurant despite Niamh's objections. She accuses him of not caring that Assumpta is dead. Niamh goes to the bar to tidy up. She becomes upset when she sees how deserted it is. This is made worse when she hears Fionn who has been locked in the kitchen since the day before. She spots Kevin and asks will he take Fionn for a run - he always walked him for Assumpta. When Niamh goes back into the bar, she finds that Leo is there. He is devastated about his wife's death and also the fact that nobody had bothered to tell him - he heard it from the Gardai. It seems as if everything has finally got to Leo - not just Assumpta's death, but also their failed marriage. He asks Niamh about Assumpta and Peter. She replies that Assumpta never told her that there was anything going on. Leo is angry that she won't give him a straight answer and he storms out in search of Peter.

Peter has gone to see Fr. Mac who demands to know what Peter is going to do about Kieran's Christening on Saturday and about his future. Peter cannot answer. He tells Fr. Mac that 24 hours ago, it would have been simple - he and Assumpta were going to get married. Fr. Mac is as sympathetic as ever (!) and Peter leaves, refusing to talk about it any more.

A journalist turns up in the village by chance, but she is told that the young publican has died and, thanks to Kathleen, she discovers that there was a special bond between Assumpta and the priest. She asks everyone in the village but they all refuse to talk, knowing that she wants to dig the dirt on Assumpta.

Leo finally tracks Peter down to a bar in Cilldargan. They have a disagreement in the bar when Leo asks did Peter lay a hand on his wife? They are both thrown out and Leo threatens Peter.

Peter decides enough is enough and he packs his bags, not wanting to stay in BallyK any longer. Niamh spots him leaving and gets into the car, saying that if he goes, he takes her and Kieran with him. Peter says fine and drives off with them. He spots Leo in his car behind him and stops by the statue where he met Assumpta. The two men square up to each other and Leo attacks Peter. He asks did Peter bring Assumpta here? Did they sneak behind the Blessed Virgin? This is too much for Peter and he knocks Leo out cold. He tells Leo that he did meet Assumpta here once, but not for what Leo thinks. He tells Leo that he loved her, that he believed that she loved him when she died, but that nothing had happened between them. Leo leaves and Peter drives back to BallyK.

He rings round everyone and arranges a wake for Assumpta on the mountain side where they had met the day before and discussed their future. Everyone is there and each of them tells a story, or a poem, or a song for Assumpta. Peter is reluctant to speak. He tells them they know what Assumpta was, what she meant to him and that they should all take care of each other. Leo sends the journalist away and decides that he doesn't belong in BallyK either. He stops the car to take a last look back at the pub and sees Kevin staring at Fionn in the back of his car. Leo lets the dog out, who runs back to Kevin, Kevin and Leo wave their farewells and Leo drives out of BallyK.

Peter officiates at Kieran's Christening, but, when everyone goes back to Brian's Peter leaves. He is spotted by Brendan who says a fond farewell and leaves to go to the party. Peter takes a last look back at the church, and finally Fitzgerald's before walking out of BallyK for the last time . . .
