S2E10 · No Weddings and a Funeral

Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) and Sam (Toheeb Jimoh) continue dating in secret. One morning, Rebecca's mother, Deborah (Harriet Walter) surprises her at home and informs her that Rebecca's father has died. The club intends to attend the funeral to support her. As he prepares to leave for the funeral, Ted (Jason Sudeikis) has a panic attack. He calls Sharon (Sarah Niles), who comes over to help him.

At the funeral, Rupert (Anthony Head) shows up with his wife Bex, despite not being invited. They also bring their infant daughter, Diane, which infuriates Rebecca. To comfort her, Keeley (Juno Temple) and Sassy (Ellie Taylor) split a bottle of wine with her and express their suspicions that Rebecca is dating someone. When Deborah says she is and Keeley asks if it's Sam, Rebecca confirms it, to their surprise. While the club is arriving at the funeral, Ted has a therapy session with Sharon. He opens up about his father's suicide, saying that he still partly hates him for "quitting" and for rarely being home.

He tells her how he was in the house when his father shot himself, and he had to call 911 and his mother. Sharon asks Ted to remember something good about his father and helps him understand that his father was a better father than he realized.

Deborah wants Rebecca to deliver a eulogy, but she refuses. Rebecca says she discovered her father cheating on Deborah when she was a child and that she holds a grudge and still hates him for it. Deborah admits she knew about his infidelity but still loved her husband and tells Rebecca she understands if she hates her as well. Rebecca decides to deliver the eulogy, and Ted arrives just as she begins. She starts to sing " Never Gonna Give You Up ", a song that her parents loved. When Rebecca breaks down, Ted picks up the song and is joined by the other attendees.

After the funeral, Rupert offers Rebecca his wife's shares in Richmond, which she accepts, and he briefly talks with Nate (Nick Mohammed) as he is leaving. At the post-funeral gathering, Jamie (Phil Dunster) approaches Keeley and tells her that she is part of why he returned to Richmond and that he loves her, leaving her confused. Then Roy also tells her he loves her. Rebecca tells Sam that they must break up, claiming she needs time, and later joins her mother in looking at photos and home videos of her childhood.
