Summary[]
Clyde is looking forward to seeing his son Kofi. Frank and Joan discuss what to do with Mo. Eddie keeps a close eye on the till at the Vic.
Mo is insistent she wants to go to Joan's so Frank decides to take her. Clyde buys his son, Kofi, a birthday present and prepares to take it to him in Bristol for his birthday the next day. Arthur gets his first client in his new gardening business. Frank drives Mo to Colchester to live with Joan, but when she gets there she decides she does not want to stay there either. Eddie has his eyes on the tills, determined to catch a thief. He talks to Jules and learns Clyde has splashed money on an expensive gift for his son, as well as train tickets for a journey to Bristol. Mo has another moment of lucidity and tells Frank she meant everything she wrote in the letter that was addressed to him. Phil hires solicitor Marcus Christie to help him get out of his latest trouble with the police over the fake MOT certificates. Mo returns to the B&B but cannot remember where her bedroom is. Eddie calls a meeting with Clyde, Sharon and Simon over the stolen money. He talks to Clyde and dismisses Sharon and Simon. Clyde is adamant he is not the thief and storms off. He gets on a train and later arrives in Bristol. He heads to see Pearl and Kofi. Joan visits Frank at the B&B to see how Mo is getting on. Pearl tells Clyde she is planning on taking Kofi to Jamaica for Christmas. Clyde tells Pearl that he wants Kofi to spend Christmas with him in London. The pair argue over what to do. Frank tells Joan he could go into the front room where Mo is resting and smother her, but he cannot because he does not have it in him. He tells Joan he could never hurt her. Joan tells Frank she thinks Mo should not stay at the B&B any longer. |
