Summary[]
Nancy's revelation continues to cause shockwaves within the Carter family. Meanwhile, an anxious Kat waits to hear some crucial news.
|
Horrified, Johnny demands that Nancy tells Mick and Linda that she's lying. Linda admonishes Nancy for saying such a disgusting thing. Seeing Johnny's terror, Nancy tells them that he's not gay. Downstairs in the bar, Johnny makes a show of flirting with Whitney. Danny watches, amused. Linda gives Dexter and Jay drinks on the house. Dexter thinks that he could sue Nancy for unprovoked assault. Jay teases that Nancy sees Dexter as an option. Alfie returns home to find Kat on the kitchen floor in pain. Helping her get up, they head outside. Alfie spots Terry and calls him over in his cab. Mick warns Dexter and Jay that they'll be leaving in an ambulance if either of them touches Nancy again. Shirley confides in Tina that she saw Johnny kissing Danny. Whitney invites Johnny round while she's babysitting, hinting they'll have the place to themselves. Johnny makes an excuse and is flustered when Danny teases him. As Linda fusses about Johnny's lunch and university supplies, Mick jokes that he is her favourite child and thinks Linda should talk to Nancy. Mick approaches Johnny but he busies himself with unpacking boxes. Nancy apologises to Johnny, but suggests that this is his chance to tell the truth - he needs to have the guts to lead his life the way he wants to. Johnny refuses, insisting that Mick would kill him. Linda apologises to Nancy for shouting at her, explaining that she's worried she's losing Nancy over her relationship with Wayne - she wants her to have someone who'll love her completely. Nancy softens, smiling. Meanwhile, Shirley corners Johnny about his kiss with Danny, warning him that someone is bound to tell his parents he's gay if he doesn't. Shirley insists that he doesn't need to keep it from his parents. Shirley tells Johnny of a boy she knew who did something really bad to prove to everyone he wasn't weak - if he needs someone to talk to he knows where to find her. Mick tries to discuss Johnny with Linda - she insists he's just sensitive. Later, Johnny eagerly asks Mick what he thinks of Whitney. Mick forces Johnny to talk, telling him that if Nancy was right, he and Linda would accept it. Johnny stays quiet. Mick continues that he saw Johnny's face when Nancy said she was lying and has turned a blind eye to things he's seen in the past and promises Johnny can tell him anything. As Mick holds him, Johnny breaks down in tears and admits he's gay, sobbing that it's not natural. Mick comforts Johnny, insisting they're proud of him and promises that everything's going to be alright. Outside the living room door, Linda listens, in tears. |
