Greg is trying to calm Tug down in the Diner, as he rants on about letting
Damian take the penalty and when Shane comes in and Tug start on him about
how useless Damian is, Shane just walks out. Roxy has decided to buy a
new car and is looks through the paper for one and Luke warns her to be
careful.
Pippa and Fin have washed up and when Sally comes in and asks if she can
help, Pippa tells her they have almost finished, again begin very curt
to her. She goes over and sits down with Michael, who tells her, that
Pippa told him about the hug and that she might have got the wrong idea.
Sally tells him she doesn’t like being in the same room as her now and
that it’s worse than it’s ever been.. He says they all have to hang on
in there. Shane comes in looking for Damian and Michael tells him he’s
gone out. He finds him and jokes about him getting a moon tan but Damian’s
not in a laughing mood. They go for a walk and talk about him going into
hiding or having plastic surgery!!! Damian goes on about the game and
try as he might, Shane can’t get him to put it out of his mind. Inside,
Sally retires to bed to read and Fin goes out. When Pippa asks Michael
if Sally’s been talking about her and he once again tells her that Sally’s
still upset, Pippa still refuses to forgive her and tells him she’s tired
and is going to bed. He just shrugs his shoulders and looks at her in
despair.
At the Stewarts Roxy has found a car she likes and although Luke has his
doubts, she decides to ring the phone number, to find out a little more
about it. As she goes off to do this, Luke asks Alf about the football
match and it gets him started. First he goes on about how good he was
when he played Rugby and then comments that the likes of Damian should
find something they’re good at. In this case, it’s not football.
Over at the Surf Club, Adam’s working at the kiosk and talks to Tug about
his training. When Shane and Damian come in, Tug has a go at Damian and
tells him to do everyone a favour and drop out of the team. Shane, Adam
and Fin tell Tug to lay off him but he doesn’t and goes on bad mouthing
the poor guy until he’s had enough and leaves, and Tug thinks it’s funny.
Next morning at the Diner, Luke is giving Roxy last minute advice about
the car she’s off to inspect and she says she’ll watch out for any dodgy
dealings. Later on, she drives her new car to pick Luke up from the caravan
site and takes him for a test drive.
Sally very cautiously asks Pippa if she can take Christopher out and promises
not to go to the beach and Pippa says she can. Before they leave, Pippa
tells her Michael told her she was upset when she didn’t hug her but it
doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her – it’s the way it has to be at the moment.
She looks bewildered but takes Christopher out as Damian comes down. When
Michael offers him a lift, he refuses and goes off to see Greg. Adam comes
in and tries to gee him up and Greg tries to stop him as he goes on and
on. Eventually, he sends him packing, only for Tug to come in and start
having a go at him, as well. Damian tells Greg, he’s quitting, but before
Tug can say anything else, Greg tells him to go and do his deliveries.
Once on their own Greg tries to convince Damian to stay but he refuses
and walks out. Shane finds Damian at home and he appears to be in a better
mood, now he’s off the team. They decide to play some computer games because
Damian refuses to go out but after a while, Shane gets bored and leaves,
saying he’ll see him the next day.
The first delivery is the Diner and when Tug takes it into the kitchen,
Fin lays into him for humiliating her brother but he thinks he’s so clever
and she tries unsuccessfully, to put him down. He just laughs and leaves.
Bobby and Michael are talking about Pippa and Bobby gives him an idea
when she talks about looking to the future. He dashes off, leaving Bobby
puzzled. He goes home and talks to Pippa about having another baby. She’s
furious and accuses him of trying to forget Dale ever existed and he’s
absolutely dumbstruck by her reaction.
All’s not well with Roxy’s new car and after it starts overheating, they
manage to get it home and Alf is quick to make a wisecrack or two, until
Luke tells him to ease off. She gets another shock, as she finds out just
how expensive cars are when they breakdown.
Pippa mops the kitchen floor and refuses to talk to Michael, as her tells
her he’s fixed the dripping tap in the bathroom. When he asks if he’s
still in her bad books, she has another go at him and this time he explodes,
just as Fin comes in.
It ends when he accuses her of thinking she’s the only one whose hurting.
Not once has she thought of how the rest of the family are coping and
if she’s not careful, it will split the family up and end their marriage
as well. He’s so upset, he storms out, leaving her standing there, for
once, lost for words…
