Red Ranger 1

Hard to say, but I assume they don't have it at night anyway? Anyway, yeah, Bree's still on a hair trigger, and after losing it at some poor nurse, Levi is next in her firing line, seemingly standing in for all cheating males everywhere. I guess at least she apologised, and she managed to pull herself together in time to apply Irene's main cast privileges and give her a battery of tests the same day she comes in with a problem.Even though we're told it's only a potential diagnosis, no-one wants to hear the word Alzheimer's. (I think I'm right in saying it's not exactly the same as vascular dementia, as currently portrayed in Corrie?) Dana continues to be aware something's wrong while Leah remains completely oblivious. Lacey getting in Abigail's face like that wasn't smart, given she seems to be a bit short of friends at the moment. The episode seemed to be trying to make us like Jo, with her sticking up for Lacey and being diplomatic with Levi. Not quite there yet, to be honest. I can understand Lacey not wanting people to know she's been working there about a week and already the business is on the rocks, but it's surely not her fault, and could maybe lead to Mali having to pull his finger out and run his business properly.

That episode reminded me what an annoying person Bree can be at times. I get that she's hurt about Remi but shouting at Sonny without even letting him get a word in edgeways was just eye rolling. But yeah, Remi doesn't even have a good reason, or a bad reason, for cheating on her, which is fairly hard to forgive although...maybe not as hard to forgive as if he'd been after Avalon for a while? I don't know. It looks as though the question of whether or not Kirby will still promote Avalon's album is kind of moot with her having well and truly sabotaged her own release. Somehow, even though she did a good job of keeping up her side of the bargain, I can't sympathise with her. Meanwhile, Irene's memory problems seem to be raising ahead, to the point that, as Dana said, she can't remember what she hasn't remembered. To be honest, I'm a bit puzzled: It seems like Leah and Marilyn realised something was wrong when Irene forgot her dinner with John, but now Leah in particular seems oblivious. Irene needs to tell people and not just try and mumble her way out of babysitting duties. Yes, this thread remains at Channel 5 pace.

Well, Remi was almost literally caught with his pants down.If he was trying to keep it quiet, chasing after Avalon half-dressed was an odd way to do it! Oh well, he's confessed to Bree, so I guess we'll see whether that does him any good. It just seems to have been a moment of weakness anyway. I'd forgotten about Eden's history of men close to her cheating on their partners, so I guess it makes sense that it would feel personal now Remi, one of the two men she trusts most in the world, has done it as well. She seems to have calmed down by the end of the episode anyway. When Roo opened that letter, I was worried she was going to go back to pretending they hadn't heard anything, but she did end up basically telling Cohen the truth, at least as far as contact from the prison is concerned. It's progress but she is, of course, still keeping other things from him, notably that his mother has relinquished custody, so this could come back to bite her.

If that's an Of Mice and Men reference, I'm pretty sure Lennie is meant to be mentally handicapped. So...not really anything like Lance!

I have a vague memory that Rob had either trained or worked as a teacher before getting the job at Summer Bay High, possibly when he was with that fiance he mentioned. I know Roxy pushed him back into teaching for vaguely snobbish reasons but I think he'd had experience before that. I seem to remember just before Lou turned up, Bobby wondered what she could actually do with an art degree and Donald said she could teach art, so I guess they were setting it up even then!

Yep, goodbye, Kirby. At least it was a positive one and the main focus of the episode even if they did need to have a cliffhanger afterwards. The opening scene of her and Eden on the beach and the singing and dancing was quite soulful. Justin's speech about not being her manager anymore felt a bit "I can't be your manager because you're not going to be on the show", but his final reasoning did seem valid. It is a shame that, aside from a brief moment of Sonny on the phone to him, there was no mention of Theo, even if they did get their farewell last episode.I'd almost rather it was him on the phone than Mali but fair enough, Kirby and Mali were good friends as well. And of course, she doesn't get any screentime with Remi, but I guess we had the "Lyrik together one last time" moment last episode. I'm not quite sure why Remi is suddenly hitting the self-destruct button as hard as he is.He's been stressed out a lot lately, and I guess there's a sense of this coming on top of all the pressure he's put on himself lately.It seems to be mainly focused on that feeling of being left behind and not having much in his life, but pushing away all his friends and Bree isn't the way to deal with it.I guess Avalon's kind of an escape.

I'm not sure Tane wanted Harper to be a stay-at-home mum, I think it was more that he thought she should have asked him to look after Archie first before organising day care. (We've seen him express his belief that a child should stay with family before.) He wasn't wrong to stop and offer Jo help, but he was wrong to force that help on her by going behind her back and working on the car without her consent. Anyway, today! Dare I say it but Lacey would actually make a pretty good cop? She needed Cash to do the heavy lifting but she made contact with a culprit and organised a sting all by herself. (I'm not sure what they're going to tell David though!) I had to rewatch scenes to get it clear that the guy hiding behind the tree in a baseball cap was the guy that mugged Theo, so presumably the guy Lacey spoke to was the guy Theo sold his car to and he had his mate standing by to steal the money back.Is that really the only two times they've tried it? Because if they've been running the scam over and over again, I'm not sure that makes the money Theo's, but okay, run with it. Levi and Jo bond over having sisters who hate them and their fathers...but who perhaps aren't being entirely unreasonable in doing so? We've had a few hints but looks like Kirby is going for good, to the point of cutting ties with Justin (or so he thinks) and breaking up the Lyrik trio. If that is going to be the last time she and Theo see each other and he's used up his episodes for the week, I'm glad we did at least get a proper goodbye scene between them.What's going to happen to Kirby and Avalon's collaboration now? Looks like the duet isn't going to happen if they're going to be in different continents but I hope Kirby does promote Avalon to her fans: I know Avalon's no saint, but she has given Kirby a lot of support.

Man, Harper's hard work.It's like they're trying to make her as annoying as possible.Tane apologises for something that he didn't need to apologise for and she still goes on acting as though the world revolves around her.Her apparent climbdown at the end just seemed to be them carrying on doing what they were already doing before her latest freak-out.Mind you, Jo apologised to Tane even though he was in the wrong, so there's that. John practically had to drag it out of Irene but she got there in the end.And she's agreed to see her GP, if grudgingly.She's obviously in no hurry to tell anyone else though. To try and forestall anyone getting the wrong end of the stick, Theo and David met last week. David says that he knew Lacey had a boyfriend. So when Jo said "That's Lacey's boyfriend", it's not because David doesn't know Theo is Lacey's boyfriend, it's because David's only just got there and hasn't seen it was Theo that was attacked yet.It was fairly daft of Theo to wave that money about in public, although the promo suggests a different reason for him being targeted. Leah's right that David shouldn't have backed off just because Lacey was being difficult, although his reasoning makes sense. Maybe he should have finished taking the statement and then handed it over to someone else? Jo did at least let Dana's charm win her over but she just escalated things with Lacey.

Harper is so annoying that she actually makes me feel sorry for Tane, who's hardly covered himself in glory, having to deal with her constant self-absorbed attitude. Harper was the one that suddenly decided Archie wasn't going to go with Tane on a family holiday, and somehow she spins that as Tane abandoning him? The day care issue is a bit of a complex one: Fine if that's what you've agreed, but it feels like Harper did it at least partly to punish Tane. It takes Marilyn to point out what was obvious a week ago: If Roo isn't going to tell Cohen the truth, then she needs to actually post his letters, not lie about that as well.Of course, her excuses for not telling him the truth are becoming weaker and weaker.She knows she's not going to have a grandmother turn up and take the hard stuff off her hands, so she now she's resorting to hoping Samantha changes her mind so she doesn't have to tell him.David's still gruff but is at least behaving vaguely human towards Cash since Harper had a word. As Irene says, we've all left the iron on at one time or another (and don't expect people to just grab the hot bit without checking!). I guess it's the cumulative effect of it all that's concerning, and Irene nearly made a dangerous error in forgetting about Archie like that.

Well, Theo's met her dad, and Jo predicted Lacey had told him their dad covered for her, so without going back and watching the episode, I'm guessing yes? As Kirby said, things are going pretty fast for her: One minute she's looking forward to a second gig at Salt, next she's looking at six weeks in Europe! (Someone else to add to the holiday list, although Tane's on his way back?) Anyway, it was nice that Justin, Mackenzie and Remi all encouraged her, even though they're going to be left behind. Bree seems to have mostly shrugged off her worries about Remi then.I can understand Sonny's position and Remi probably does mean it about not using again, although Avalon throwing temptation in his way won't help.Avalon continues to be a bit of a paradox.I guess she's neither all good nor all bad, which is quite refreshing in a way. I think she does probably think she's helping Remi. I know we're meant to think Irene's absent minded but ye gods, Dana seemed to be the one with a foggy brain at the end there.The iron's there, it's plugged in, someone's obviously forgotten about it, why the heck would you go straight for the hot bit instead of picking it up by the handle and/or making sure it's turned off and cooled? Roo continues to come across as not having a clue.Does she really think a pile of books will make Cohen forget about hearing from his mother?

Yes but you don't tend to stop being special needs in ten years, which suggests people are reading things into it that wasn't intended.

It's a shame that neither we nor Justin could fully appreciate Kirby's launch, given the constant worry about whether or not Remi could turn up. The show's sometimes confusing tendency to start the audio of the next scene early meant that at one point I thought Justin was at the Lyrik house, and then it cut to him still at Salt. Anyway, once that glitch was sorted it all went well, and I think we even managed to get all four members of Lyrik in one room. I did feel a bit sorry for Remi: He was the one that contributed the most, yet Kirby said the least about him in her speech, not even really mentioning that he'd produced and financed the whole album. I've seen it commented in other sections that Theo hasn't had any scenes with Kirby since he got together with Lacey so I was glad to see that rectified here. I'm guessing Lacey has moved into the Diner flat as per her comments earlier in the week then, given she called it "home" here. I'm glad her apparent sulk about Theo and Kirby's history was put on. Sonny gets both Remi and the USB to the launch just in time but has seen more than he'd have liked.Avalon's hard to get a read on at this point.I've kind of liked her since she and Kirby have become friends, but her supplying Remi with drugs is a bit worrying, especially since he now seems to be depending on them to feel "normal".I'm surprised that Sonny would seemingly be willing to come out and tell Bree like that, but I guess he think it's serious.

Well, we had two storylines today where the obvious ending was avoided. I think we were all expecting Jimmy to make a big speech and him and Eden to hug it out, but instead he is forced to acknowledge that maybe things are never going to go back to how they were.Eden was unnecessarily hostile at times but sometimes your heart won't do what your head tells it to:She wants to forgive but she can't feel it.But the ice has been broken and maybe even thawed a bit, and if they do see each other again, maybe it will be easier.She seemed touched by his gift anyway.I can't remember if it was stated outright that he knew Imogen during his last visit or not, but given Levi was in touch with him during all those years Eden and Abby weren't, I'd be very surprised if he didn't. What was with Abigail telling Jimmy that Levi and Mackenzie are going to have a baby? That makes it sounds like she's already pregnant, and no-one clarifies it so he probably still thinks that. Meanwhile, Dana was in serious need of growing up.Honestly, even Sonny, who's pretty much a manchild, was handling it more maturely than her.She was unnecessarily rude to Jo and harassed Levi, and needed Bree and Sonny both to have a word.So she apologises to Jo, and you'd expect them to go back to being friends again...but instead Jo gives her the cold shoulder. A sign that Jo isn't the saint she might otherwise appear to be, or that sometimes you can't spend a day treating someone like dirt and expect everything to instantly be fine? In other news, Remi isn't in the episode so everyone's worrying about where he is.I did appreciate both Justin and Mackenzie trying their best to make this good for Kirby and nice that Eden's involved as well.

New South Wales is the same state as Summer Bay so no need to involve another state's police force, although I guess David will still have to contact the local police station or something. Well, Eden pretty much organised the barbecue from help. Except maybe not? It did seem like everyone except her wanted to be there, Abigail was obviously delighted to see Jimmy (possibly the first time she's got to spend quality time with him in years), and Cash, Mackenzie and Mali were all pleased to meet/re-meet him. While some of Jimmy's comments made me wince, it did indeed feel like Eden was looking for reasons to be offended. Hopefully Jimmy's refusal to back down will have an effect. Looks like Mali's joining Alf and Tane in being absent from the Bay then! Irene was getting pretty defensive there. I'm not sure that Marilyn offering an explanation entirely helped. I'm not sure whether Marilyn actually believed it or was trying to save Irene embarrassment. Fortunately, John was like a dog with a bone and got the whole story out of Irene, although she didn't entirely seem to appreciate his advice. Ironically, Irene actually does have a history of sleepwalking! Is that the first time since Channel 5 started using them that we haven't had opening titles?

I have to admit I've not seen any of this spark between Roo and David that the rest of the forum seems to have done.All that's happened is they've had some scenes together, which, to be fair, is usually enough on this sort of show.But frankly I'm increasingly feeling like they should probably get together because they're both being pretty awful. Roo did exactly what I feared she would, crossing the line into gaslighting by telling Cohen she's posted his letter while hiding it away in a drawer as if she wants this to explode as badly as possible. Harper telling her it's all right to lie was spectacularly bad advice as well. I'd go so far as to say that Roo is actually handling Cohen worse than she did Eliza, and if it doesn't end as badly, that's entirely down to him, not her. Meanwhile, David continues his workplace bullying, and while he eventually gave Cash those "Sorry for being a total a-hole to you when you did a good job" beers, he actually tells Cash off for answering a personal call mere seconds after having a personal chat with Jo (who is treating the police station like it's open house just as much as Eden did and getting away with it because of favouritism) right in front of him, and probably doesn't even realise what an utter hypocrite he is. At least Harper's intervention was better aimed there. I'm on Lacey's side here and feel like Theo should have shut Jo down instead of listening to her justifications. I'm in two minds here: On the one hand, David and Jo are credited as regulars, which suggests they're meant to be broadly sympathetic characters. On the other hand, no-one has really refuted Lacey's points, just resorting to bland and banal rebuttals, which does lead me to suspect there's something that we don't know yet. Anyway, it means Theo knows the whole story (maybe more than Leah does?), and I'm glad that Lacey seems to be doing a good job and Jo ambushing her at work hasn't affected anything. Well, we got that brief hint at Irene having memory issue a couple of weeks back but they seemed to jump up a notch here with her forgetting her plans with John. Marilyn seemed a bit timid but, to be fair, she didn't have much opportunity to say anything else.

Yes, I noticed that rogue David Miller credit! Samantha hasn't been sentenced yet but maybe it's easier to give up parental rights when the child isn't in your care anyway? It feels a bit like we can't see the important parts of Remi's storyline so are left filling in the blanks. I'm guessing that he took some of the drugs and possibly took the rest of them later. I can understand the frustration of people constantly changing plans on you, even if you don't particularly like those plans. Kirby deciding to have her big album launch at Salt is a bit of an eye-roller but her justification is understandable, she wants to do it with her friends, not a bunch of city strangers. It is a bit disappointing that Kirby and Avalon's enthusiasm over the duet has dissipated slightly. Justin is proving to be something of a super manager, maybe Avalon actually will sign him! I can understand the difficulty, and it's a bit annoying that no-one's thought to ask Samantha to explain the situation herself, but Roo and to a lesser extent David (although he's mostly taking Roo's lead) aren't doing Cohen any favours by lying to him like this.I really hope Roo passes on that letter and doesn't do something awful like sticking it in a drawer. Harper once again proves a decent social worker and a lousy human being with her grumbling about Tane. And yep, I was totally right about Marilyn trying to convince Harper to ditch day care and just give Archie to her!

Alf's episode count:Suspended. At least we know where he is, since it's Leah's turn to not appear at all even though references suggest she's in town. Tane only appears in one episode before going away, and even then it's only on a video call. Harper was annoying as ever in her first scene: Tane got on a plane to Japan because she told him to, and he left Archie behind because she kept him away. Even Irene looked fed up with her.Still, she actually worked well with Cohen despite having apparently no briefing, demonstrating she's a much better character when just doing her job rather than sulking over Tane.I guess we could add David in that category too.When Harper explained she'd put Archie in day care, Marilyn was probably thinking "Why not give him to me?!?!" That's an incredibly fast turnaround from Samantha, last time we saw her she was promising Cohen she'd see him tomorrow, now she's apparently decided she never wants to see him again. Even if she thinks a clean break is the best thing so he can be looked after properly, it's a pretty abrupt way to break off contact and leaves Roo in an awkward position. I'm not quite sure why Remi needed to stay up all night, he didn't even have Justin's deadline to deal with at that point. Kirby and Avalon have indeed done something of a 180. I'm not sure Justin did the right thing by getting Remi to agree to the duet. It isn't clear from the ending whether Remi's going to take the drugs or not but the promo suggests he did.

It feels like, as with Jo's blossoming friendship with Dana, this episode was designed to show us a softer side of David.All I could think though was "Hug your daughter in your own time", with another example of one rule for him and one rule for everyone else. Comforting Jo in his office when she'd been brought there on official business was one thing, but now she's dropping by for a gossip and a takeaway, and actually standing at his shoulder while he's dealing with a case..? Incidentally, we get a constable who isn't Cash or the departed Rose, and the actor was in two episodes in 2016 as a uni classmate of Oscar et al. Hilariously, he was in the same episode as Dylan Carter, although I don't think they shared a scene! Well, it was good timing that Roo came back and signed back up as a foster carer within 24 hours of another troubled youngster turning up! I wonder how Alf will react, given it seems he's being as unpleasant as ever on the subject. I was kind of disappointed to see what Roo did with Eliza's card. Keeping it on display wasn't healthy, but boxing it up with the stuff to send back to Eliza wouldn't be good for the girl's mental health, and I'd rather she'd put it away somewhere to remember it wasn't all bad. Still...was that a photo of Alf and Ailsa next to it?! It's not much, but after seven years of virtually pretending she didn't exist, it was very welcome! I'm usually on John's side, but I was glad everyone gave him short shrift here, given he was just tittle-tattling in a rather judgemental manner. Given how much he was on at Mali to hire someone to run the board shop, I thought he'd have been more motivated to keep quiet rather than trying to get Lacey fired just to crow over Mali. I'm glad Mali decided to keep her on: He was running what lessons there were himself anyway, so it makes sense to have Lacey run the shop while he does that and the boards. It wasn't until the credits came up that I realised Lacey was in the same episode as her family and didn't cross paths with them at all. I don't think that's a bad thing, she's benefiting from getting to interact with a lot of characters. Dana lost a lot of my sympathy by sniping at Jo like that. Ironically, when he took a deep breath and stepped up, Sonny actually gave her good advice!

Levi did a really bad job of explaining himself frankly, repeatedly saying "You've not thought this through" instead of giving any reason why it was a bad idea. I think we eventually got to him thinking that it might lead to a family argument at the wedding, which was oddly specific, and meant it was down to Eden to come up with the idea of meeting Jimmy and hashing things out before the wedding.Well, she's got six months. I did like Cash desperately trying to break the awkward silence at the start but I don't blame Abigail for getting fed up and going into work. Eden was completely out of line with Lacey and there didn't even seem to be any real resolution to it. I thought for a moment that Mackenzie was going to tear a strip off her but then she just shrugged and let it go. Of course, Mali then went to the other extreme, hiring her without any attempt to explain what the job was or find out if she could do it. I know Kirby used to help out with lessons but Abigail was just manning the shop so I'm not sure why he assumed Lacey would do that. Talking of jobs, Dana spends the day stressing but cornering Levi wasn't the smartest idea.I grimaced when Mackenzie turned up at the hospital to see Levi, expecting her to start clambering all over him again, but looks like she's calmed down. Why on earth did we have Eden turning up at the police station for a personal conversation with Cash only a week or so after David putting a stop to that? It's like there are things, like Mackenzie giving away free food and drink all over the place, that are so ingrained that even if one episode says it's not going to happen anymore, the next writer will just do it anyway.

I have no sympathy for Harper, who was typically self-absorbed. And I don't blame Tane at all for getting on the plane without her, to go on a holiday that had been arranged and paid for and which he'd offered to her to go with someone else only for her to insist they go together and then change her mind at literally the last minute. I'd have done the same, but having said that, I suspect Tane may regret it when he finds himself stuck in Japan on his own and missing Archie.And of course Harper has taken the decision to go back to work partly to teach him a lesson. I'm still not sure about Jo but we got a bit more to her character here than "Doesn't get on with Lacey".She at least doesn't seem entirely sure about David as well, directing his comment about Lacey not handling her grief back at him.I noticed she left out the "I've also got a sister in the area who hates me" bit when opening up to Levi.So Jo and Dana have opposite outcomes with their interviews.I'm tempted to say that Dana might have got to read up on the subject if Irene hadn't insisted she spend the night holding Harper's hand, but to be fair, she'd probably have just stayed in the Diner chatting to her new best friend. We saw Levi objecting to Eden inviting their dad to the wedding in the promo, so I'd have hoped we'd be a bit further along by the end of the episode, rather than just an argument that doesn't resolve anything. I think what he's getting at is that the wedding isn't the right time to bring him back into her orbit after ten years of not saying a civil word to him, and she should meet him first and take the pressure off, but I guess we'll have to wait for him to explain it.

Interesting spat between Mackenzie and Harper, who have basically both got what the other one wants.Harper wants a loving partner and Mackenzie wants a baby, and it's not happening for either of them.I can't say I really have any sympathy for either of them though, because they're both being ridiculous.When Mackenzie went to see Levi, I thought for a moment that maybe she'd got the message but no, it was just another excuse to jump him, and she doesn't realise how obsessed she's being.At least Bree got released from her black hole in time to offer Levi a sympathetic ear. Meanwhile, it finally dawns on Harper, far too late, what a daft idea "Go on a platonic holiday with Tane and hope he falls in love with me" was.Marilyn demonstrates that her shipping can be rather hit and miss by gushing over the whole idea.Seriously, Tane tried to do the decent thing, offering the holiday to her and laying down ground rules for them going together, and she's wasted it over a schoolgirl fantasy. Avalon might have terrible ideas of the best way to stay awake, and bugging Remi when he was trying to sleep wasn't good either, but at least she seems to have started to respect Kirby a bit more: I wouldn't be surprised if she came up with the idea of Remi finishing Kirby's album that night instead of working with her. It's kind of amusing that all the women seem to have heard of her when Remi and Justin needed to look her up.

I can see David convincing himself it was just an accident and shutting down any attempt to suggest otherwise, whether that's from Lacey or his subordinates, because deep down if Jo was at fault, he doesn't want to know. Alf's episode count this week:Three.No Bree for the second week running, despite two references to her being around.Could they not afford her that month? Avalon continues to come across as a rather manipulative person.Again, Remi's instinct tells him to go and make peace with Kirby, and again, Avalon was in his ear, telling him he'd done nothing wrong. Mackenzie suddenly fangirling on her did break things up a bit. It was a bit much to expect Kirby to join them (especially with Avalon making the offer), but this was never about her wanting to stand in Remi's way, it's about him neglecting his commitment to her. So Mackenzie finally gets Remi to play a gig after about two years of attempts! Of course, Avalon then demonstrates why she really shouldn't be trusted... John's talk to Mali seemed to go better when it was one-on-one rather than an uncoordinated double team with Alf, and his argument that Mali should either make use of the space or give it over to someone who would seemed to be hitting home, but by the end Mali is just looking for loopholes to get around it. Mackenzie had a point about Levi opening her mail: Looking at it and seeing the logo is fair enough, but he stood have stopped there. That's about the only point she did have though, and despite claiming it was just a last resort, she's soon mounting him in a way that was bordering on non-consensual just because a piece of paper told her to. I'm glad that, after they were interrupted at the start, Leah and Justin made it to the gig together and had a good time. Marilyn probably should have given it a rest earlier than she did though.

David is definitely proving to be the person Lacey claimed he is: Totally by the book until it's his family drama, at which point he's happy to ignore the rules and expects other officers to play ball. This is, of course, ameliorated by the fact that David and Jo are listed as regulars (even if they're still not on the opening credits!) suggesting that they're meant to be broadly sympathetic characters and around long-term, so if David is keeping a secret then it's probably not going to be too earth-shattering. I find my sympathy is mainly with Kirby here. If Remi wants to be on Avalon's album, that's up to him, but he made a commitment to Kirby and he's not keeping to it. I wasn't keen on the way Avalon convinced him to stand his ground with Kirby, it just felt like stirring up trouble. Alf and John both had a word with Mali but didn't really get a satisfactory response.On the one hand, Dean did kind of drag Mali away from his old boarding shaping business to run the board shop.On the other hand, as Alf and John point out, he's worked hard to make it a success.

Tane came across as a bit unhinged here. Fair enough, pulling over when you see someone broken down is just good manners, and Jo was unnecessarily rude to him, showing she's definitely her father's daughter. But why would anyone in their right mind drive out there the next day and work on the car without the owner's permission? How did he even know the car was still there? What would he have done if Jo hadn't come back while he was there, stuck a note on it saying "Fixed it"? In a way, he's lucky she is David's daughter, because a complete stranger turning up and finding him there would have been even more creeped out. Alf, Irene and even Leah seemed to be charmed by David but Cash is seeing a different side to him.Still, Eden needs to realise that the police station being a drop-in centre isn't a thing anymore.Cash ended up helping Eden come to a sensible solution, going to see Debra instead of making assumptions about how she feels.I'm not sure Abby was invited, but it gets her out of the way for the rest of the week! Seems like Mali is having a bit of trouble being a one man band again. I noticed Alf only said he "looks after" the caravan park: An acknowledgement that Sally and Miles still own it after all these years? So, reading between the lines, it seems like Jo was the driver who killed their mother who Lacey feels David forgave too easily. It being his daughter is both more understandable and more disturbing, since he'd probably be quicker to convince himself she wasn't to blame, and try and demand Lacey do the same, than if it was a stranger. Despite him saying he wouldn't use his police authority to force a meeting with Lacey, he's done that already. I think Jo pushed it way too far with Lacey at the end, including grabbing her to stop her walking away, and she seemed to give as good as she got in that fight.

It was kind of one extreme to the other with Eden there.She started off having some nice sibling banter with Abby and it was quite sweet of her to ask her to be maid of honour.But as soon as she saw that message from their dad, it was like a hair trigger for her.She didn't even have the self-awareness to realise that this is one of the reasons she and Abigail ended up so alienated in the first place, her demanding Abigail hate Jimmy and Levi just because she did and wrecking her chance of having a relationship with them.So, now Abigail's issued a challenge, how will she respond to it? Whilst I'm glad in one way, Harper and Dana have been at odds for so long that it really felt like we needed a better wrap-up than "We talked all night and we've sorted it." But at least it left Dana and Sonny free to discuss what they are in their own not-giving-anything-away manner. I was amused by Sonny's claim to be the father of twins and the way Dana clearly wasn't taken in for a second. Unfortunately, it left Harper free to indulge in even more toxic past-times. Irene telling her to go and declare her undying love to Tane again was utterly terrible advice. And Harper's response, basically deciding to go on holiday with Tane in the hope something will happen, was even more terrible.Tane looked more than a bit bemused by the whole thing. Leah continues to be concerned that she knows more about Lacey than Theo does!
