Audrey got support from her old friend Rita who thinks Gail's been completely sucked in. It's more true than she realizes. It's hard for Audrey to see Gail and Lewis nuzzling on the street but Lewis now knows the money is in the account and he knows Nick has her account details. The penny drops. Can he get into the computer? Can he figure out Nick's password? Well, yes, because Nick is an idiot and uses his own name as password. He nearly got caught by Kylie and hid under a skeleton of a desk? He must have been there ages. Did Leanne not notice he was missing?
It's all very contrived so that Lewis could overhear Nick and Kylie talk about their one night stand. Up to now, this storyline has been good fun to watch but this makes it hard to swallow. He had the details printed out, but he needed Kylie for Gail's password for her online banking. He can admit his scheme to Kylie because he has her right where he wants her. I didn't think Kylie could go any paler! I feel so bad for Kylie being blackmailed by Lewis. She's built up a half ways decent relationship with Gail and she's being forced to damage it when this comes out because it will. It always does. Sally is horrified that Gail is putting herself at risk but Gail can't see it. The Phrase of Doom, What has she got to lose... sealed her fate.
All the dialogue was superb. So much that Lewis said was misinterpreted by Gail and we, watching, knew exactly what he meant. He broke his news via video. Gail is shattered and can't understand why this could happen to her and he's got away with the cash. He took the 40K and everything else and she thinks he found the password on his own. I don't know how he couldn't have found it, he spent time before rifling through her papers, surely he'd have known where the password was all along? The ultimate insult, though, wasn't just the Ti Amo that was for Audrey, not Gail, it was paying Audrey back with Gail's money and Audrey is keeping it! It looked like Audrey and Gail might have had a chance to make peace but when Audrey kept the money, I think their feud isn't going away any time soon. Lewis' last gesture was to send Audrey flowers but it didn't make her outraged, just sad, and a bit bemused I think
Poor Gail! She's really down in the dumps, in the doldrums and feeling humiliated. Everyone's talking about her and Eileen gets the details from Maria and spreads them around too. I do feel bad for Gail and i know most of you don't. I know it's her own fault for being naive and letting a known con man sucker her. I can't help it, I love watching Gail, happy or miserable! Her plan to increase David and Kylie's rent, along with getting her job back, probably would work to repay the loan but David prefers to move out (and spend even more money!)
Jenna lost her job. She's disappointed but she knew what would happen. She told the truth and must pay the price including a rollocking from her mother who's more angry that she wasn't told. Jenna knows her mother is disappointed in her and is having a hard time accepting it, it's more than the job. Mandy admits she'd prefer if Jenna were not gay, "Normal" she throws at her daughter. Ouch. And she threw it back at Sophie. Sophie thinks the way is clear for them now there's nothing to stop them. Talk about adding insult to injury and it's got nothing to do with "it's meant to be". I thought it may take some time for Jenna and Mandy to make friends again but she does love Jenna and ok, she wishes Jenna weren't gay but it looks like she can move on and get her head around it. It *is* a lot to get your head around at first. Jenna went back to Sophie like a gravitational pull, someone that knows what she's going through as she is newly "out" and getting her own head around it, too. And a date was made. Obviously thought Jenna knows she's gay, it's hard for her to be "out" about it yet. And the date was a bit uncomfortable, especially when Lloyd and Mancy walked in. Nobody could relax then. Mandy is churlish and aggressive but it pushed Jenna right into Sophie's arms. Probably the wrong way to be in a relationship. When will this storyline be over? There's no chemistry between them and nothing in common.
Fiz is trying to gloss over the gossip while Tyrone is frantic. Well at least this has Tina and Tommy talking again. Sounds like Tyrone is still getting the runaround trying to get his visit. He's obsessed. Fiz probably feels like a spare part. Julie is Kirsty's defending dragon and Kirsty's milking it for all she can. Kirsty pretends to be all self-sacrificing and agrees to a supervised visit. Kirsty's playing out her plan and keeping Ruby from Tyrone. Tyrone's whole world has shrunk to that baby and his angst and obsession might come between him and Fiz eventually. He's frantic and resentful, all of which is understandable but if Fiz isn't able to help, or he's not able to take comfort from her, it's going to make her feel isolated from him, like he's pushing her away. Poor Tyrone, he's just not getting a break. He can't see his kid, and the solicitor is advising him to plead guilty and hope for a suspended sentence. He's frustrated and angry and pretty soon he's going to push even Fiz away. It's frustrating to watch too, to see people that have been friends for so many years think the worst of him. It's frustrating to watch how Kirsty pulls all the strings and pushes the buttons of all the people that believe her, turning them further against Tyrone.
Tracy gets all dolled up, she's signed the papers and goes to the pub to give them to Steve in the pub, maybe to show him what he's losing? Rob is there, too and takes it all in. Well now he knows Tracy's free anyway. I think that was a bonus result. Peter wasn't very sympathetic lol! Tracy is determined to use Rob and his to get a new job. Seems like everyone does that, Eva for one. Rob's arrogant but Tracy likes it and he didn't even blink when she asked for a job. He thinks it's a test. He doesn't realize she's using him to get up Michelle's nose. Clearly Rob didn't tell anyone Tracy was starting at the factory. Carla is still the majority partner, can't she kibosh this? Why isn't Kirsty working? Did she quit? Carla reluctantly interviewed Tracy. Under other circumstances, Tracy would be qualified to do the job but as troublemaker in residence, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Carla thinks it'll keep Rob pre-occupied. Rob keeps doing this with his women but the difference this time is that Tracy isn't in love with Rob, she sees him as someone to be used to better her means. I'd say Poor Tracy but i don't feel one bit sorry for her. It was funny when she realized she wasn't working in the office, but working *for* Kirk packing boxes. She's hoping to get under Michelle's skin but all the rest of it is going to wear thin pretty quickly I think. It's working just the same though, Michelle is already gritting her teeth even if she's enjoying Tracy's knock down off the high horse.
The olives have been a running joke all week! There's even a couple of crates of them in Gail's kitchen!
Sylvia's back and in top form! She went through 2000 teabags just in the short time that Roy was there and back! She's here for a visit. Apparently. But Milton and his daughter have other ideas. Milton has sent all Sylvia's bits and pieces back to her so it looks like that's the end of that and we've got her back. But what happened? Sylvia didn't really look all that surprised that he apparently called her bluff. Sounds like she didn't get on with his daughter but there's something else she "got out of her system". What's that? Sylvia seems intent on not working in the cafe if she can get away with it. She never minded before. What's going on?
Poor Maria! Her flat is in chaos and the rat is on the loose. I don't understand how that rat could be scurrying around and Ozzy the dog only gets excited when he gets hold of a teddy bear. Surely a dog would have been after that small moving animal and cornered it somewhere. If i was a dog, i'd lose my doggy mind if a little animal was in my house loose like that! Finding it in Maria's bra was hilarious! I bet she never wears it again!
