Characters: Darrell, David, Eddie, Joe, Lynda, Shula

• Shula is trying to track down Darrell. David hasn’t seen him but he’s looking forward to celebrating his birthday at the Grey Gables Mexican night. Then David remembers that Eddie had seen Darrell in a bus shelter on the Hollerton Road.
• Joe and Eddie are also heading to Grey Gables for the Mexican night. Clarrie won’t be there though, she has a bad throat. Joe must be ill too because he turns down cider.
• Shula does track down Darrell and takes him some soup which he accepts. She does suggest he should come and stay at The Stables but he resists saying he is fine and she doesn’t need to put herself to any trouble.
• The Mexican night seems to go reasonably well though Joe is disappointed that the moustache competition has been cancelled. But then, after mixing tequila and beer, Joe takes a fall and has to be taken to hospital.
