Now comes the hard part. Telling Hayley's friends and it came as the shock you would expect. I thought seeing Carla break down behind closed doors was quite touching. Hayley seems to be able to talk frankly with Carla like she can't with Roy, well, at least in a different way anyway. The broken tea cup was symbolic, wasn't it? I think a lot of hearts broke along with it.
Roy is not one to accept help. He's at a loss for words. He doesn't know the right thing to do or say. But that's probably how anyone in the same situation would feel. Hayley's insisting Roy learn to drive. Can you imagine Roy on the road? All her friends are rallying but it's still hard on them isn't it? Fiz's heart is breaking but Hayley is going to make the best of what time she has left.
Emily offered support and Roy tore a strip off her, thinking it was all about religion. It wasn't what she meant of course but he needs to lash out. Poor Roy really is at sixes and sevens. Thank heavens for Fiz who seems to be keeping him grounded. She even got a smile out of him! Hayley will have lots of support, professional and personal.
Michelle won't thank Steve for poking his nose in things with Carla on her behalf. Well at least her rage at Steve put a smile on Eileen's face. I thought Peter was going to try to learn to sew? I guess not. Michelle is still grumping and jealous and sniping at Peter. Owen is telling Audrey that her whole roof is dry rotted and a lot of money. I think she should have a second opinion. He's already got a reputation for overcharging. Just ask Stella. Maria didn't really want Audrey to move in, it's just something you say. But Audrey snapped up the offer! Sally exchanged rumpy pumpy for housework. Sounds like a good plan to me and nobody was fooled! She's assumed Tim will go to the wedding reception with her before she even asked him.
With Fiz interfering with a nudge, Chesney bounced back to Sinead. Do I care? I do not. Too bad, really, because I do like Sinead, much better than Katy. She's going to give him one last chance. Probably more fool her but if it means we get to keep the character, I guess that's ok. I think she does the right thing making him wait. I just wish she'd made him wait a little longer.
Max's birthday. They're trying to spoil him but he's still feeling left out. He spent half the party sulking upstairs. If he's jealous, i wouldn't leave him up there with the baby on their own. Max was thrilled about the adoption, though it wasn't much of a party with only three kids and a dog. Why didn't they invite Aadi and Asha? The wedding is nearly upon them and they haven't sorted the reception yet? A few ribbons? And the wedding is supposed to be "tomorrow" and all. A surprise reception might be more of a surprise than everyone thinks.
Luckily, Karl went to apologize on Stella's orders but Jason's cold attitude brought Karl's out too and Dev heard Karl's threats and that can't be unsaid either. On top of the earlier admission and Karl "treating" Craig, Dev has got to realize something's up. Dev is still reluctant to join Jason in his suspicions but the money for the game looks suspicious. If they speak to Craig, will he tell? The poor lad doesn't know which way to turn so he's run off and left a note mentioning an apology to Dev. All these little things are happening and Dev is at the centre of it now. I think he is getting closer to partnering up with Jason.
Karl is distracted. It's the last week before the wedding and plans are falling into place but the police come calling about Craig and Beth is frantic. He fancy-footed with the coppers who bought his story. Jason is convinced Karl is involved in all of it. Dev still isn't so sure. Oddly enough it's Karl that Craig contacts first but does he tell Beth? Does he heck. Poor Craig is just at his wits' end and couldn't face anyone, that's why he ran off.
Is Karl going to chuck Craig in the canal? It looked like it for a minute but Karl hasn't hit the wall yet. He's trying to get Craig to keep steady and keep schtum but the lad is only 14, it's hard for him to handle all the stress. Karl really doesn't have a plan, though, he's winging it and Craig came home, pretending he'd been bullied at school. But you know, he's not even been to school since it started, from what I could tell. I think Dev has been won over to Jason's point of view.
Craig is caught in his web of Karl's lies about bullies with his mother on the warpath. He's pretending he stole chocolate from Dev. Things are getting harder and harder for him to get out of. Meanwhile, Jason and Dev are on a mission. Jason has busted Karl's alibi for the night of the fire. Dev is badgering Beth who's baffled why everyone wants to talk to Craig. Karl is feeling the pressure and it looks like he's going to make a run for it to Spain under the guise of a honeymoon. Naturally the kids Craig accused of bullying are now doing it for real, being falsley accused. Didn't Karl go wayyyy over the top breaking it up?
