Sean takes drastic measures and Ronnie is annoyed wen she finds out that she 'as been gazumped. Jane returns 'ome from 'ospital. Old Mo gets a postcard from Stacey and Max gets one from Bradley. Old Mo also gets a deliright of stock, some right strange items, right, like divin' fins. The bloody bobbies arrive at the door, init? Sean wakes up next mornin', right, feelin' bad. Jean gets a card from Stacey. She rambles on ter Sean about 'ow Bradley will need 'igh protection in the sun, and she offers Sean toast, and egg on toast. She chatter oray manically and Sean asks if she is takin' all 'er tablets and in the bloomin' right order. She says she were wotchin' 'im sleep last night, right, and 'e frowns wen 'e is asleep - does 'e know that, eh, luv? Sean says wiv irritation, now, right, how would I know that, then, eh, guv? He tries ter make a drink but the taps don't work, and Jean says she called the bleedin' council but the dog and bone just plays music, right, and wen they do come round, right, they just laugh at 'er. Sean sighs and says, Not so bad, he will try ter fix the taps. Jean keeps ON AND ON ramblin' about weffer she should dog and bone the hotel and tell them that Bradley needs ter use 'igh factor suntan lotion. She goes on and on about family and 'ow they are part of Bradley's family now, right, and Sean says quietly 'e is tryin' ter concentrate 'ere, right, Mum. He drops a wrench, and she asks 'im if 'e 'as an 'angover, wich is exactly 'ow 'e's actin'. [And she is already drivin' me insane, so I can't even imagine 'ow Sean manages - or don't]. Jean goes on about Max and she don't like 'im, because 'e don't fink Stacey is right good enough. She jumps and screams wen a firework goes off outside and Sean takes a deep breaff and rolls 'is mince pies. Then she rambles a bit more about vague and ill-defined waffle, right, and Sean sighs and says brusquely wotcher on about now, isit?Just pick a subject and stick ter it. He fixes the bloomin' taps and she is grateful and says 'e's clever. He's still actin' reasonably laid back, answerin' evryfink tiredly and resignedly, and says the bloomin' repair were nuffink, init? Abi makes them ball of chalk to school and Lauren winges, and asks why. Abi says a polar bear dies evry time yer use the chuffin' car, right, and Lauren says polar bears don't do anyfink good - just eat baby seals. Jay tells Jase wot 'e did wiv 'is mate, how they 'ad fun at the fireworks, and 'e seemed like a nice chap - for a mate of Jase's. Jase gets a freatenin' note, right, probably from Terry, that a mucker 'as been beaten up. Lucy wants ter stay at 'ome ter see Jane wen she comes hammer and tack from 'ospital. Pat forces them all ter go ter school. Ian brings Jane 'ome and she makes an 'uge fuss about walkin' ter the chuffin' sofa. Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna. Ian asks if she wants ter wotch a DVD and she says she just wants ter sit wiv Ian, but 'e 'as ter work in the bleedin' café. She seems disappointed, right, or just miserable because she's ill, or wotever. Roxy justifies spendin' 'er 5K on a flashy car, by wot she "went frough", ie she 'ad ter snog Damien, and it were like bein' suffocated by a deranged sheep. I'll get out me spoons. Ronnie wants some contingency brass for the bloody club, and Roxy says the bleedin' club will be not so bad, she ain't takin' the car back. Tanya wants ter go and spot Jane, right, and Ian refuses ter let 'er, right, and says that peritonitis is right serious and Jane don't want ter see any fairy. Pat asks Ian if Jane knows wot 'e is sayin', and says 'e is storin' up Barney Rubble wiv 'is lies. Ian says 'e 'as ter work extran 'ours ter keep Steven in that place, wich is costin' an arm and a leg. Pat says as long as 'e ain't just avoidin' Jane wiv 'is excuses. She visits Jane, 'oo asks where Steven is. Pat avoids lyin' by askin' Jane if she finks that Ian would tell Pat if 'e won't tell Jane, but later visits Steven at the clinic. Dot is in the Vic and Jack offers 'er a drink, right, and keeps on pressin', sayin' not even a wee sweet sherry, isit?[He cotches on quickly]. He offers ter carry 'er shoppin' bags across the square, and 'e is also takin' 'er ter visit Jim on the bloomin' way 'ome. I'll get out me spoons. Dot says 'e's so courteous and it's wonderful, right, he 'as cheered 'er up no end. They leave and Max says bitterly that 'e wants ter wipe the chuffin' grin off 'is smug mush. He also 'assles Tanya about a doctor's letter she 'as been ignorin'. Roxy drives Peggy ter her appointment and Ronnie objects because the agent is comin' soon, right, and Roxy says 'e is only comin' ter chat 'er up. Wen 'e arrives, she says she's busy, right, but the drink's on the bleedin' house wile 'e waits. He tells 'er the club owner 'as a better offer, so unless she can add a sweetener - about 5K - [wot a convenient number] she 'as lost the deal. He gives 'er a few 'ours ter clear out the bloody finks she left in the office then 'e wants the bleedin' keys back. Jean spots 'er tranquilisers packet 'as two missin' and Sean at first says she must 'ave forgotten, and she ain't sposed ter be takin' these any more, so why are there ole packets all over the house, then, squire? She *screams* that she needs them "in case", and 'e took 'er tablets, they're all 'ers. Sean replies sarkily "that's a wee bit selfish ain't it, any road, right, why do yer fink we were copping on so well, then? I just needed sumfink ter take the bleedin' edge off, I wish I 'adn't come." She shrieks 'ysterically at 'im. He slams a tool into the bloody sink, and she jumps nervously at the sound, right, as she does at evry loud noise. Sean says aggressively, come on then, right, start freakin' out: scream and shout, right, go on. She 'its 'im, right, hard, wiv 'er cast and 'e 'ave a looks angry, but they are interrupted by the bobbies knockin' and they shout frough the door, right, tellin' Jean they are 'ave a lookin' for Sean
