Well I remain confused. It seems that because of round objects we are on soap starvation diet at present and so I thought I would write up what I believe to have been Wednesday and Thursday episodes which have been scrunched together on Thursday evening. Following the revelation that Sarah attacked Theo with a pole and left him lying in the yard before summoning Gary to help stay out of the arms of the police (well obviously not Kit's arms because Sarah knows he was going to propose and now she is just waiting for it to happen and then she can fall into his arms) probably about 5 minutes before Lisa comes knocking. Meanwhile Kit (who "knows" that it is Gary wot dunnit) has an argument with Gary in front of Todd. Gary hardly striving to contain himself advises Todd, once Kit has gone, that it is a shame Kit cannot see what is under his own nose. Some weeks seconds later Todd's brain kicks into gear and he goes in search of Sarah-Lou as she is definitely under Kit's nose.
Susie gets to talk to Megan on the console and she calmly reports that Will has a new girlfriend "Minimog16" so we have the inevitable scene when one of the known killers on the Street, Maggie, tears his headphones off to find he is innocently chatting to Hope. Will realises that he cannot keep the pretence going so meets Megan on the top of Buffy Street car park where she begs him not to send her to jail. He asks her bluntly how her attempt to run away demonstrated her love for his and walks away from her.
Asha is supported by her family over moving into the flat above the shop. Nina is finding it impossible to tell Roy as it is Scrabble Thursday; last week Nina scored 16 with cinnamony. Luckily when Roy pops into the Kabin Bernie is trying to buy a new home card which allows her and Brian to break the news that Nina is planning to fly the coop. Inevitably Roy takes it well and finds a lovely train teapot (out of stock at the NRM shop) as a new home present. Summer goes into overdrive spending a fortune on an espresso coffee machine, and a toaster and a slushie machine (as well as some designer clothes for herself) to get them settled in. They forsake the standard new house celebration of fish, chips and champagne for dinner in the Bistro and another random diner invites them out for a night clubbing but only Summer accepts.
Jodie got herself all dressed up for a hot date which turned out to be Ryan and as David was sat at the Bistro bar she went into overdrive mode inventing the word dunch to cover a meal happening midway between lunch and dinner. It cannot matters help that Amy Barlow is waitress of the day! Ryan paid up and summed it up that perhaps they were better as mates living around the corner from each other than anything more. Crossing Jodie is not the brightest move on the chessboard.
So Todd's brain kicked into overdrive and he went for a chat with Sarah who cracks completely and tells him about Theo's last moments and the way she aided his attempt at learning to fly. Todd is insistent on knowing why she did not ring him conveniently forgetting that his phone was in a skip at the time. Todd is upset with Sarah as it meant that Todd was unable to face Theo himself. We then spend half the episode wondering if Todd is going to turn Sarah into the police - but of course he can't do that given their history with Todd moping around facing the same conundrum. At this rate everyone bar Kit and Lisa will know the killer soon. Sarah has another drinking session in the Rovers and Nick is given little help to rescue her. Todd and Sarah have a chat in the Rovers yard and he admits he cannot turn her in, but at the moment he does not like her very much.
Once Nick gets Sarah back to the Platt house Jodie makes coffee to help Sarah to sober up as the tills have stopped working in the Bistro and Nick has to go in.. However Jodie then says it is good that David is not barking like he was on the night that Sarah was attacked - her being there must be so triggering. Sarah agrees it is a good David is not barking. Jodie suddenly realises she has said something it would have been wiser not to say.
