David’s teas are worse than Ruth’s?
Now that takes some taking. It’s a marvel their three kids have had enough sustenance to grow.
Ruth’s was off out tonight, so Ben reckons David sorting tea will mean sandwiches.
Poor Ben.
There’s no point talking to her, Alan
[Alan] “I’m saying atmosphere’s not good for anyone … she is not a bad person,. She would never intentionally hurt you.”
Alan tells Amy she’s destroying their family, and asks her to sit down and talk with him and Usha.
But no.
The silly wee brat won’t.
Now there’s a surprise.
[Amy] “Usha lied to me and she thinks I go out with married men. The truth is, that relationship, it meant something to me dad”
*sigh*
Later, Usha to Ruth:
[Usha] “Apparently someone once described stepchildren as in-laws who you have to love but who actually hate you.”
[Ruth] “That bad, eh?”
Oh yes.
Alan tells Usha what happened earlier on:
[Alan] “I was trying to talk to her, she wouldn’t engage, she just went.”
He’s been trying to call her since, but Amy isn’t answering. The hospital has also been trying to get in touch about her shifts.
I hate to say it – but I really couldn’t care less what’s happened to Amy. Just as long as we get a wee bit of peace from her …
David must testify
So reckoned Usha, when Ruth told her about what’s been happening at Brookfield.
Seems everything has calmed down for a bit. Ben isn’t having nightmares, and with Ed and Bert also in on the bad doings, Ruth feels a bit safer being part of a crowd.
She wants to now go ahead with Open Farm Sunday. What with the Police, and the stewards, she thinks the gang won’t do anything.
However, Ruth’s now thinking ahead to the court case:
[Ruth] A big part of me wants David to pull out.”
[Usha] “To not testify? You can’t do that … what kind of world will Josh and Ben grown up in if people like David don’t do the right thing?”
(what about Pip?)
[Ruth] “Who will protect me kids Usha?”
Simples, reckons Usha.
David tells the truth in court. The bad men get jailed.
[Usha] “You will come out of this stronger Ruth. You, David and the kids.”
Either which way, Ruth feels better for sharing. And is muchly looking forward to Usha’s birthday party.
[Ruth] “I feel like I’ve been living in this weird bubble.”
What a cliché!
Very irritating, but Alice tracked down Amy.
She called while Amy was listening to Christina Aguilera’s I Am Beautiful.
Amy was sobbing as she talked down the phone to Alice.
She had gone to the café she and Carl (once) went to.
And was now sat outside Carl’s flat.
[Amy] “He hasn’t shown up. I’ve been here since 6 o’ clock. Where is he Alice? Why isn’t Carl here? I can’t let him go. I just can’t …”
Oh goodness me!
Alice tells Amy to stay put. She’s on her way to take Amy back to hers.
Chris will be happy about that (!).
That Amy also needs to try and be original once in a while.
