|
When Whitney sees Ryan and Lauren together, she calls them pathetic. In preparation for the 80's convention, Heather's painted a banner, had t-shirts printed and made a mix tape (which Shirley destroys). Whitney heads to the park to meet Lee and is shocked to see Rob. Rob insists that he's only come to say goodbye before going to Manchester - his mum's got cancer. While Rob's getting her a drink, Whitney texts Lee and realises she's been set up when Rob's phone beeps. Dot's had a CAT scan - she won't get the results until Friday but is scared she's dying. Fatboy suggests that she starts working through her 'bucket list'. Dot agrees to go to Southend. Fatboy persuades Shirley and Heather to let him and Dot travel with them in Phil's Jag. Later, thinking he's persuaded her to come to Manchester, Rob escorts Whitney home. Inside, Whitney phones Ryan but, busy kissing Lauren, he doesn't answer. Panicking, Whitney escapes through the back door and runs in front of Phil's Jag. She climbs into the car and a furious Rob watches her being driven away. Arriving in Southend, Shirley's furious to discover they've come to a lesbian and gay convention. Without Shirley, the bouncer, Andrew, won't let Heather into the couples welcome dinner. However Shirley returns and, impressed by Heather, Andrew decides to let them in. Dot tracks down her sister who's drinking and flirting with a group of men in a run down bar. Dot leaves without speaking to her. Whitney leaves Rob a voicemail - she never wants to see him again. Whitney explains what's happened to Fatboy. They have fun at the fairground, but at a table underneath one of the rides Rob listens to Whitney's message - he's followed her. |
