However, Fatboy is heartbroken as Grace tells him that Mercy will be leaving tomorrow. Fatboy tries to think of ways to keep his friend in the country, but Grace doesn't believe there's any chance. Later, Fatboy and Mercy attend Kat and Alfie's royal wedding party at The Vic, which is buzzing on the special day. Fatboy tells Mercy that he wants to go to the airport with her, but she insists that she doesn't want an emotional goodbye and leaves to pack her bags.
