Summary[]
Bianca hides the truth from Carol and Mark suppresses a guilty secret of his own. Grant and Phil spring a welcome surprise on Peggy.
|
Mark is rather serious towards Steve and asks him to lie to Ruth and tell her that Steve employed him in the café every evening while he was gone. Steve says okay, but is shocked to find out how the little poker game has escalated in his absence. A lot of shady looking characters are playing, along with Mark and Sanjay. He drops a hint, and the shady characters, Vince and Ollie, look at him threateningly and ignore the hint totally, asking for more tea. Pat asks David what went on, but he says nothing. She goes to the shops and Grant says she's looking good, no-one would guess she had an 18 year old granddaughter. She's furious and goes to ask David about it, he explains how it happened without any details, saying Bianca told Steve, it just slipped out. Ricky and Bianca go to Carol's and chat about the holiday. Bianca doesn't say anything about David so Carol guesses he ignored her and goes round to tell him off about it. He tries to tell her, but she won't listen. Ricky tells Bianca that she'll have to tell her mother that she let slip the secret, as someone else will soon enough, she could say that Steve overheard or something. Bianca says she will, when the time is right. Sam pretends to be tired when she gets back and then sneaks out to see David. Pat answers the door and says Ricky isn't there. Sam talks to David, saying that all the things she wouldn't have told him about Spain if she'd known who he was. She'd appreciate it if he kept it to himself. David says he won't tell anyone and it'll be "their little secret". She then says that her brothers don't like her seeing him so it may be difficult. David says that he will just have to show them who's boss. Ricky has now had second thoughts about getting married to Bianca, having seen Sam, so he's saying that it may be illegal to get engaged while he is still married. He says that she mustn't tell anyone until he's arranged the divorce with Sam. He then keeps putting off talking to Sam, which isn't made easier by the fact that Peggy tries her best to keep him away from her. He makes a pathetic attempt to talk to her and Bianca sees him after he's lied to her about going back to work, so she follows him. Peggy interrupts his little chat with Sam to tell him that Bianca is downstairs. She then makes the excuse that she came to see Tiffany. |
