Pip goes to see Elizabeth
And gets a warm welcome. Elizabeth is happy to see her, and is going to arrange for her to work at The Orangery during the Summer.
But, Elizabeth isn’t as receptive to Pip trying to talk about David.
Pip tells Elizabeth how upset David is, and
[Pip] “Isn’t it bad enough, what happened to Uncle Nigel … there’s no point in us being angry with each other … can’t we just be a family again?”
[Elizabeth] “I can’t forgive give him … I lost my husband, doesn’t that count for anything thing?”
Elizabeth tells Pip that she is “immensely fond” of her. But, that what’s happened with David is between her and David.
Wonderfully reasonable is Elizabeth, yet again (!). She’s the adult, yet she can’t see what position she’s putting Pip in. And how she (Elizabeth) is making Pip’s home life rather hellish.
But at least Pip has a rather spiffing new man in her life.
[Pip] “She really hates him … she looks so hurt”
[Spencer] “Just try not worry … I’m here, you’ve got me now”
(still can’t quite believe Spencer and Steve are actually brothers).
Fallon’s in a huff?
Fallon isn’t returning Kirsty’s calls.
Nic has told Kirsty that she saw Fallon looking at her phone when it rang, and turning it to silent.
So she is avoiding Kirsty, after Kirsty and Rhys made a bit of a fool of her at the party (by pretending they were engaged).
I’d feel a bit embarrassed if I was Fallon, and a bit annoyed my mates couldn’t have told me that I’d been too eager to try and push them together. But Falling out with them?
Probably not. Unless I little else that living vicariously through other people’s relationships …
A smashing time was had by all
Jamie bumps Natalie (and her two mates) who are waiting for him in the pub, to go with Steve and Marty to smash an old warehouse’s windows.
Brilliant decision making there, Jamie.
They have a jolly old time, until they hear a dog barking – assume it’s security – so leg it. In the process of which, Jamie cuts his hand.
Does Marty have a deeply sinister side?
When he discovers a female dummy in the warehouse, his first reaction is to burn her.
That’s a bit worrying.
“Shut up Steve!”
I like that young lady, Natalie.
Not sure what she sees in Jamie (in his current guise – I still reckon he’s a nice enough chap underneath it all), but she at least sees Steve and Marty for the morons they are. And isn’t scared of telling them.
Shame Jamie doesn’t have cojones like Natalie
Natalie’s bumped into Jamie as he, Steve and Marty are running away from the warehouse security (though they actually could just be running away from an angry Pekingese, out for its evening walk).
She notices Jamie’s cut hand, and tries to see if he is okay. But Steve won’t have it. Natalie wanting to be sure that Jamie isn’t badly hurt is somehow offensive to Steve;
[Steve] “We hang together, just tell her, or you going to let yourself be whipped by a girl?”
[Jamie, to Natalie] “No, look, get off! I’m not your baby, alright .. .what is it with girls, you don’t own me!”
[Steve] “Did you hear the man? He’s standing tall with his boys”
So, once again, Jamie chooses his mates over a girl. Which would be fair enough, if his mates were actually worth anything.
For whatever reason, Natalie is still speaking to Jamie the next day. He tries to explain that he didn’t mean anything that he said (but he did say it), and she tells him that she doesn’t like him when he’s round his mates.
[Jamie] “I only said those things cause Steve and Marty was there”
What a wuss!
As well as pointing out that Jamie turns onto a muppet when he’s round Steve and Marty, Natalie also thinks Jamie needs to put his exams first.
[Natalie] “ …decent grades or Steve and Marty? … it’s more important than looking good in front of them”
Wonder if there are enough anti-moronic-mates feeling around to help Jamie actually tell Steve and Marty where to go? Kathy, Jolene, Fallon, Rhys, and now Natalie, are all saying that Jamie needs to crack on with what’s important, rather than be ‘cool’ for his pals.
Mrs Parker
Mrs Parker is Jackie Parker’s mum.
Jackie went missing from Alice’s Uni.
And it’s all Chas’ fault. He lent Jackie money, and been harassing her ever since. She chose to disappear rather than have to cope with him anymore.
Jackie’s disappearance has dropped Chas right in it (he now can’t pay back his financier, brother-in-law Vince), so Chas is desperate to find her.
Which involves calling her parents, and pretending he’s a friend in an attempt to tease Jackie’s address of her (rather upset) mum.
First time round, Mrs Parker doesn’t want to tell Chas where Jackie is, but sounded like that was because her husband had told her not to say anything to anyone.
But, Mrs Parker has mistaken Chas for someone she can trust. So calls him back, to tell him that Jackie is at a friend’s in Newcastle.
[Mrs Parker] “I just someone to tell her we love her”
[Chas] “But don’t worry … I’ll find your daughter”
Oops. Jackie better keep running. Unless she also has a meathead brother.
Chas is no match for Lesley
Chas is back trying to hassle Reggie – but interesting that he calls him rather than go round and play the big man in person. Not after Chas had the run in with Reggie’s brother Lesley, and lost.
[Chas] “You haven’t got your meathead brother to answer for you now”
Nae luck Chas! It is “the meathead” who has answered the phone.
[Lesley] “If you go anywhere near my little brother, I’ve got a few ways of settling things myself, understand me son?”
So Chas has to back off again.
Methinks Reggie might not be paying back Chas any money anytime soon. If at all.
