Summary
Carol seeks Alan’s forgiveness over her sensitivity about Richard the other day. Alan tells her there’s nothing to forgive – it was he who overstepped the mark. Carol explains that Alan had been right about the issues between her and Richard before he died. Richard didn’t approve of some of her decisions and didn’t attend his stepfather’s funeral. Carol’s never really spoken about it to anyone. She thinks she’d like to do something to commemorate Richard’s passing after all. Alan suggests she has a think about what she’d like. Bert’s and Susan make a good team at the Shop. Bert shocks Susan with news that the village fete this year is ticketed – at least the money is for charity. Tracy will be there to support Chelsea, but Bert reckons he should boycott. As they reminisce, Bert feels that it’s only down to his Ivy that the kids turned out so well. Susan’s worried to hear that Clive left Bert on his own for extended periods when Bert was staying with him. She twigs that Clive had access to Bert’s bank card. Susan admits to Tracy that she was right – Clive was stealing from their Dad and disappearing for days. Appalled Tracy learns that Bert is in denial. Susan feels guilty for doing nothing, despite her concerns. Angry Tracy feels guilty for putting her need for rest over Bert’s welfare. But Susan says the important thing is that Bert’s back now. They can’t say anything to Bert – or Clive – just focus on looking after Bert, and cutting Clive off.
