Ruairi is a wanted man, and Chelsea faces an unusual client.
Denise needs some advice on a friend’s bad hair. Chelsea confirms she’d be happy to rescue it. As they chat about the fete, Chelsea comments that she wouldn’t want her fortune told – she doesn’t want to know about the bad things that might happen. Denise counters kindly that there could be good things too. They’re interrupted by George Grundy, an unwelcome guest as far as Chelsea’s concerned. She has a booking and wants him out. Denise heads off to the Post Office, mentioning the inconvenience of the burnt-out post box. George agrees the culprit should be locked up. He insists he’s booked in for a cut – for Poppy’s guinea pig. When Chelsea protests and refuses, George declares he’ll sue her for false advertising; her window says ‘guinea pigs wanted’. He continues to wind up Chelsea until she divulges that she knows it was him who set fire to the post box. She makes him promise not to get Brad involved in anything else dodgy, or she’ll go to Harrison and spill the beans.
Ruairi confirms to Ben that he’s still seeing Julianne and it’s all good. Ben’s non-committal. Later Julianne calls Ruairi. Ruairi covers to Ben that it’s a uni mate. Persistent Ben wonders how often Ruairi sees Julianne. Isn’t she stopping him having the full university experience? Ruairi declares he admires her; they’re in a bubble and she makes him feel safe and happy. He insists they’re not sleeping together. Julianne rings again, and Ruairi tells her he’s not available to meet. Ben thanks him for prioritising their friendship.
