Episode 19.2: ‘Truth Bomb’

Simpkins and Eliza are firming up their purely professional relationship. She’s taken the role of PA (Private Assistant) but manages to get promoted to ‘Friend’, a position with a much larger salary.

Money is also changing hands in Newtown DFS. Fred is trying to make money to rebuild the pub and sells Anthony his grotty old sofa, claiming it to be a vintage ‘Helmstead’. Anthony wants to pay £400, but Fred manages to haggle it up to £401.
Meanwhile, Big Dick Johnson is out of prison, with AJ as his Parole Officer. He visits the bombed-out site of Gina’s pub and is shocked to find that she blames him for the bombing. A guilty Candi has intimidated Debbie, who knows the bomb was Candi’s doing. However, when Candi and Debbie appear at the bombsite to see Big Dick getting arrested for the bombing, Debbie speaks up and Candi confesses to her crime. She gets led away in handcuffs by her boyfriend AJ, and not in a kinky way…
Will Candi do time?
Will Fred and Gina rebuild the pub?
Where now for Dick Johnson?
Does the role of ‘Friend’ have benefits?

Episode 19.1: ‘A Pen-Pal gets a Pal Out of the Pen’

Just Gina’s, the pub belonging to Gina Pitts, is just a pile of ashes. Gina is recovering in hospital, fiance Fred escaped injury by hiding in a large fridge. Candi is feeling very guilty about her part in the bomb plot gone wrong, especially as Gina stopped the insurance payments to put the cash towards the wedding!

The intended recipient of the explosion, Debita, is upset with Anthony over his ex-wife, Jewell Pewell, trying to kill her and his sexy time with said ex-wife. Anthony declares his love for her but she is too angry to accept it and they part in acrimony. Simpkins revels in jeering at her lonely state, he also stirs another pot when he tells Fred that a Johnson was to blame. Gina is thinking Big Dick Johnson may have had something to do with it, organising it all from his prison cell. Candi wants to encourage that thinking, but AJ drops her in it when he tells Debita it was Candi. Candi unleashes her wrath on poor Debita!

Meanwhile Big Dick is visited by his pen pal, Anthony, who uses his power and influence to get Big Dick parole. Starting his new job, who should be Dick’s parole officer but AJ Shaw!

All is forgiven and forgotten as far as Big Dick is concerned, he swears he will be good from now on, as long as no-one accuses him of something he did not do. He has no idea Gina wants to kill him!

Will Candi confess to Gina? Or will Debita risk more violence and tell all? And will Debita resist Anthony? How will Big Dick acclimatise to life outside of prison? Will he get blamed for Candi’s mistakes…???
