Skeletons have a habit of falling out of the cupboard eventually, but in Shieldinch you can rely on them being exposed with some very public drink-flinging in The Ship. As Eileen commented: 'Not every night you get a free floor show'.
Poor Gordon. Hayley let him have it: she was livid at hearing he'd supposedly made a pass at her mum Tricia (aka Trixie, Gordon's pet name for her when they were younger), and chucked a drink in his face. Gordon thought the truth had finally been revealed, and Hayley had been told that he was really her father. So Hayley's world came crumbling down before her, and Tricia and Gordon had to confront the fall-out of their twenty-three year old secret head-on.
Scarlett did herself proud at Murray's 'Living with Literacy' group at the community centres as she explained how not being able to read or write left her flummoxed on so many occasions. It seems Murray has the gentle touch, in SO many ways, as Eileen was just about to investigate by the looks of things. Pity Gina returned, just as Eileen was about to reap the rewards of a night spent fluttering her eyelids at Murray.
And what is going on between Lenny and the light-fingered youngster he's befriended? Hmm...

Scarlett learns to read, loses taste for tiger print and neon pink leather. Coincidence?
