I really was hoping that once Swain's brain had kicked in and she had worked out that her ex-dead ex-wife was lying to her that Becky would say: it's a fair cop, guv, and go off quickly to gaol and we'd never see her again. But the actor still has another ep left on her contract so, after Betsy hears her mum discussing her other mum with Carla, she goes off to see her at the prison with the most liberal visiting hours in the country. She blames Becky for Mason's death (a bit of a stretch tbh) and tells her she hates her (fair). It seems to work, as Becky doesn't bring up Lisa's name at her hearing and is sent down for 12 years. I can see her being top dog in a couple of months.
At Kate Oates Memorial, Shona discusses the reappearance of Jodie. To be honest, I thought she was one of the Emmerdale lot, but no, she's a long lost Ramsey. I'm more interested in Mr Harper, although I did wonder if he was a crossover from Casualty, or something. She gets a lot of messages from an unknown person shortly before a panic attack, which leads David to bring her back to number 8. Is this going to go well?
Meanwhile Team KARJ* continues its anti-Carl offensive, with Ry pointing out that Carl has been creaming off the hotel profits, but Debbie's not interested. Is her personality transplant to do with her dementia or.....the internet rumours I've read? I feel that old Debbie was a bit more short shrifty with Carl.

Whiny Will is back, moaning about Daniel giving him detention; meanwhile Megan gets an invite to Bertie's birthday. Surely he's a bit young, even for her. I have to say that her cover of going out with Daniel seems more real than her actual relationship with her teenage paramour. She gets a mysterious and somewhat threatening phone call, presumably one of her previous discarded conquests.
Oh and Izzie's had a haircut. Suits her.
