It’s all about Eddie
I hate to say this – Eddie is normally just an amiable rogue - but Eddie seems to be become quite a nastily selfish bloke, these days.
He comes into the kitchen to find Clarrie sat in a puddle of doom (she hasn’t slept all night), and says:
[Eddie] “Thought you’d be having a lie in, that’s what I’d do if I had the day off … getting paid for not working. Make the most of it, eh”
Which I suppose you could say is Eddie just trying to cheer Clarrie up, by making light of a horrible situation. One thing that Bridge Farm is under suspicion of E. coli – another that Clarrie thinks it’s her fault. Because she’d been ill. And she’d gone back to work.
But, what Eddie hears is Clarrie blaming him. When she mentions that she w ants to see Pat to explain, Eddie comes out with:
[Eddie] “What, about how I poisoned you with an undercooked sausage … don’t the point the finger at me!”
Um, she didn’t. Clarrie never mentioned blame, nor sausages.
The bloke doth protest too much.
Tom’s back
I suppose he is quite useful at times of stress and crises. He does tend to just buckle down and get things sorted.
Wonder if he’s also become less smug since he’s been away from the secret microphones … here’s hoping.
He’s also brought Brenda back with him (not in person – just her considered professional advice).
Brenda reckons “mud sticks” (really? I wouldn’t have thought of that one. Well worth the years at uni …)
[Tom, relaying Brenda’s advice] “Minimise the damage … don’t mention e. coli … don’t mention even mention that we’ve had an environmental health inspection”
But there seems to be little point in trying to keep it hush hush. Even worrying about Susan blabbing is pointless.
Bridge Farm has to put a product recall in the Echo.
Oh dear.
Jack’s back … for how long?
Well, not really …
But still sort of nice to hear to hear jack again. At the same time, it was heart-breaking …
[Peggy] “hello Jack”
[Jack] “hello”
[Peggy] “It’s me, Peggy”
[jack] “Yes, Peggy, how nice to see you”
[Peggy] “ … it’s your birthday … you’re 92 …”
[Jack] “No … how much., how many?”
[Peggy] “Happy birthday Jack”
[Jack] “Happy birthday jack … that’s me. I’m jack”
And he kept repeating “you’re Peggy”. And this was probably what they call one of his good days.
Still, jack loved the enamelled tie pin that Peggy had made him.
So Jack had a lovely birthday. He even said he reckoned he was lucky as he got so many cards from so many friends.
But I really really dislike suggesting this … was this the last from Jack?
He cancelled the sausage order!
Honestly, who does he think he is?
[Tom] “That man Somerville .. he’s such a prima donna … he acted like we were doing this deliberately to tarnish the Underwood’s name and as a personal insult to him … he’s even cancelled the sausage order”
Even when he couldn’t return any sausages (even though he wanted to) because he’d sold out.
Honestly. Some people.
Eddie was drunk in charge of the sausages
Hmmmm.
The plot does thicken.
Clarrie passed the 48hr rule …
[Pat] “This particular bug, if you catch it, the average incubation is 3 to 5 days”
So they reckon Clarrie is in the clear> Especially as she only went back to work 48 hours after she felt ill/
Clarrie passed the 48 hour rule
… or did she?
Every helpful Eddie points out to Clarrie (after pat has gone) that she was still ill on the Saturday. So she wasn’t 48 hours clear when she went back to work.
Clarrie seemingly had to rush to the toilet when the tennis (aye – that Andy Murray game) got to match point.
Ever thicker still, that plot.
