Tracy is genuinely worried about her dad. She knows her dad looks well but he's not a young man. 'It's going to hit him like a juggernaut. What if he can't cope?'
Ken, on his return only knows that Peter had a relapse in his drinking and as a result he and Carla split up. No amount of scrubbing, cleaning or polishing will help Ken now. Bumping into Carla she realises that he does not know the full story. Carla tells him he'll need 'a stiff drink first.'
Carla, in the plainest terms, tells Ken the truth. Deirdre, having recaptured the escapee, Eccles, arrives back home but Ken is out. On his return he vents his fury at her. 'How could you not tell me?' he asks and put like that, it's hard to understand. Then we hear Deirdre's side and we sympathise with her. So who is wrong and who is right? Veering towards Ken here - it's his son and surely he had a right to know. After all, it wasn't just a broken leg. Ken continues, 'My son is not capable of murder! You've watched him grow up, you're virtually his mother,' Good point well made Ken. 'You've abandoned Peter in his hour of need.' Deirdre bats back. 'You abandoned us all!'
Ken decides to go to bed as he will have a very busy day the next day. Rob (who Ken doesn't trust) and Tracy return and find Deirdre in a wretched state. Tracy says that she and Ken just need to get used to each other again. Deirdre worries that Ken might never forgive her and sobs, utterly distraught.
Max's dad is called Callum Logan who is gorgeous and 'scared of nowt.' When Kylie became pregnant by him, he was 'the cock of the walk.' Kylie fears that there is something genetically wrong with Max inherited from his father. Max has a diagnosis of ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. Max and his parents will be referred to CAMS - Child Adolescent Mental Health Service. Kylie blames herself too. She feels that she is not a good enough mother and that she's neglected him, especially since Lily was born. David, a candidate surely for dad of the year is rational, calm and measured.
Audrey has no time for these labels and categorising people. She thinks that Max is just a bit naughty. When people are depressed Audrey says that they are just a bit sad. No nonsense Audrey!
Todd enjoys his new role and is particularly keen, it seems, to impress Tony. He points out that he told a client that he would send their best man over. The client doesn't know that they only have Jason. It looks like they might have a client in Tyrone, maybe. Where might that lead?
