Be Careful What You Wish For: Tracy, in her mid 30s, thought taking up with a 20 year old was a good idea (for whatever her motives were), now he's acting like a 20 year old and all over her all the time and it's clearly wearing thin.
Competitive award: The Bistro is offering breakfast even though the Cafe only did the one night (so far).
Stupidity award: Ken phoned Wendy on the land line. A number that will show up on the phone bill. Yet he does have a mobile.
Pants on Fire: Ken lies like a rug but he got busted this time.
Gloria making Bed and Breakfast reservations behind Stella's back, reckoning it's a mystery judge.
Double act award: Tracy and Deirdre verbally taking chunks out of Ken.
Green eyed monster award: Michelle is jealous that Ryan gets on better with Sally but Sally's trying to do her bit to talk Ryan round, much to her credit.
Pack Rat award: Wendy kept the cufflinks she had made for Ken in 1990.
Voice of Experience award: Sally may be a lot of things but she's a fairly good mum and is talking a lot of sense. Michelle could do worse than to listen to her.
Nobel Peace award: Sally's mediations worked. Ryan and Michelle made up, but Tracy isn't finished with them yet.
Leopards and Spots award: Rita says Dennis has changed from years ago and Ken could have as well. Both men only recently had other women that they let down.
Stick your nose in your own business award: Brian needs to keep out of Ken and Deirdre's marriage.
Passive Aggressive award: Gold star: Even if Deirdre didn't take Rita's advice on board, Ken huffing and puffing and sulking quietly would have driven her mad if she'd not given in and let him stay on the board.
Desperate measures award: Tracy thought she might be losing the battle so she fired the nuclear bomb. Pregnant? Can't be. Steve wasn't involved!
Lines of the week:
Mary "There's no room for sentiment in business"
Rita "I haven't overtaken anything in over 50 years"
Mary "The only tough cookies in that restaurant are on the menu" and "It *is* a war. And come next week it will be the Cold War" (re: Russian night)
Brian "I'm being embroiled against me will"
Deidre to Ken "I want to know where you've been...and who with" (echoing the words she said to him 20 years ago! Nice touch!)
Ken "There's nothing going on!" Tracy "right, because if I hear otherwise, you're going to wish you'd sailed away on that other trollop's barge!"
Gloria "Tragic accident on the Rotterdam ferry. She was trying to fit her mates into a group photo. You can guess the rest"
Deirdre "We've agreed all sorts of things over the years but you don't seem particularly bound by any of them"
Tracy "Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda, Dad, the last words of a fool"
Deirdre "I just rumbled you before you had a chance to show her your kimono!"
Michelle "Me son's turned his back on me and become the plaything of the friendly neighbourhood psycho"
Kylie "I'm about as much use in here as an afro comb in Norris's washbag!"
Tracy "D'you mind? I'm not a piece of playdough"
And the line of the week came from Emily "Will that man NEVER learn?!"
