Shula finally loses her temper with Darrell.

Radio Times: Jamie steps in, and Shula vents her anger.

Characters: Darrell, Jamie, Kathy, Neil, Rosa, Shula

• The saintly Shula finally reaches the end of her tether when she comes home and finds Darrell still in bed and somewhat the worse for alcohol. She orders him to come downstairs and eat a proper meal, though Darrell says he is too tired after signing on yesterday.
• When Kathy gets home, Jamie offers to take her to The Bull for a meal to celebrate her new job. They meet Neil, who is touting for sponsorship for the 3 hour peal in aid of the organ fund, and Rosa, who is at a loose end. Tactful Kathy says she is full up, and leaves Jamie to have a drink with Rosa.
• Darrell eats little, and then, being told to wash up, drops the dishes and smashes them, causing Shula to lose her temper totally. Realising he has gone too far this time, Darrell goes to The Bull, where Neil sees how drunk he is, and tries to get him to leave, but then Darrell spots Rosa and tries to talk to her. Matters escalate, and Jamie floors Darrell. A distressed Rosa tells her father he is no father to her anymore
