Summary

Mia and Brad meet on a corridor in college. They share a brief kiss and pledge to coordinate some free time together. George calls Brad and accuses him of avoiding George. He asks him to the pub on Friday. Brad agrees, but later Mia asks to see him on Friday too. It’s the only night they’re both free. Brad says he’ll cancel George. He broaches this with George, who accuses him of ditching their arrangement for Mia. Everyone’s giving him a hard time, and he needs a mate at the moment. Since the video he made of Helen, he’s trying to be more respectful. He knows he went too far. So is Brad still going to say no to one night at the pub with him? Chelsea reckons she’d be happy down the pub with family and a few mates for her birthday. She wonders if she’s got boring. Tracy assures her she hasn’t. Chelsea declares she’d like to start driving again. Susan calls round and spots a book of hers propping up the kitchen table. It must have got into the car boot stuff by mistake. It’s Lark Rise to Candleford and she’d like it back. Tracy says she can’t have it until Jazzer’s fixed the table leg, but Susan insists it’s precious to her. They get into a sisterly row. Later with the table fixed, Chelsea’s engrossed in the book. Tracy suggests she might read something easier, but Chelsea wants a challenge. Tracy suggests they both read it – then they’d meet the challenge together.

0:39.4	Brad caught the bouquet. He looked so embarrassed. Yeah, but also a tiny bit pleased. So long as he
0:45.0	doesn't suddenly announce he's getting married. Well, they've all been so good to weddings.
0:49.7	We've only had two. I know. You make it sound like we've had ten. Well, most people only have one,
0:54.6	see? Two in two months. What we're going to do for your birthday, Chelsea? I don't know. It's not
1:03.5	like it's a special one. Not like last year. I mean, not the last year was so special because I was

1:23.8	mum. You are, actually. Oh, no. What? You think I've got boring? No, not at all. Maybe that's what

1:37.7	Chelsea, do me a favour. I'm thinking I should start learning to drive again, you know? Really?
1:43.4	Well, it would be useful, wouldn't it? Especially if I'm going to do more mobile hairdressing.
1:48.7	I know cars are expensive, but if I save up, I could get some more banger, couldn't I? Oh, you could
1:53.2	borrow the Riley. Well, I'll be fighting over the Riley soon. You'll have to do a rotor.
1:58.1	Oh.
