Character of the week: The crossing patrol's Simon Cowell, aka, Malcom!
Tit for Tat award: Steve thinks being barred from the Kabin is petty and vindictive but he's the one that bragged about his own capacity for the same isn't he?
Showdown at the OK Corral award: Steve and Dennis facing off at the crossing.
Shout out to the past award: Dennis mentioned Elsie's famous line from episode 1, to paraphrase, He's just about ready for the knacker's yard!
Plot repeat. I said, Plot repeat. Carla's picking up Simon at school and she's been drinking. Cue Simon kicking off (and rightly so).
Also, Kirk selling frozen turkeys. Dry like last year's Christmas trees, anyone?
Shooting Fish in a Barrel award: Gail was a very easy mark for Lewis' manipulations.
It Must be Genetic Award: Becky went on a rampage with a sledgehammer. Kylie went on one with a crowbar
Multitasking award: Unlike men watching telly, women like Eileen can watch and listen to conversations and take it all in too.
Tradition award: Either Rob hasn't opened that filing cabinet since Carla left or he's keeping up the long standing tradition of keeping a bottle stashed in the factory office that goes back to Mike Baldwin.
Impeccable Timing award: Peter shows up seconds before the taxi to the airport leaves.
TMI award: Stella threw Karl's sexual failures back in his face.
Resourceful award: That Simon is very good at traveling the public transportation system on his own. Remember Blackpool?
Spelling fail award: Kirkys Turkys
