Every day since Rees and Thea's wedding date announcement felt like a war to Ruth. A war in which her role was only to avoid the enemy and live the day safely.
She escaped from Mrs Green's trap of setting up her with Edwin Berrycloth with the help of Rees, Thea and surprisingly, Mr and Mrs Welby.
It took Mr Welby to give a two-minute explanation of why Mr Berrycloth was not ready for a wedding proposal just yet, that finally shut up Mrs Green. But one could tell that she had not yet dropped her mission and had just kept it on hold.
Ruth had so many ideas for Thea's wedding dress. Looking at the white gown, she realised that she had no such memory of her mother. She had never seen her mother's wedding dress or the wedding band. Ruth did not even know who her father was, let alone know his name.
