Episode 93

Extended Summary

Pippa goes to see Bobby at the shop. She knows that Bobby was the arsonist and tells her about the note Nico had drawn and how Floss had explained everything. Ailsa and Celia return and Pippa asks if she can take Bobby away to speak to her. At the Stewart House, Bobby and Pippa walk in and Pippa explains that everyone loves her and they want Bobby back at the Fletcher’s. Martin and Lance are looking through the newspapers. Pippa says she can take them and she talks to Floss about her dreams and Bobby. Martin and Lance have the newspapers in their caravan and Martin finds the notice they were looking forward; a reward will be found for finding whoever burnt the town hall down and they start hatching plans how to trap The Nutter and therefore claim the money. Martin comes up with the ideas, but Lance doesn’t quite follow.

Martin and Lance go and see Lynn and Nico in the Fletcher’s garden. Lance tries Nico’s hat on and Nico says Lance looks just like him. That gives Lance and Martin an idea. They walk into the general store, notice Celia is there and talk about Nico moving in to the caravan park. Celia races out saying she has some friends to meet.

Ailsa tries to talk to Bobby about why she has been so quiet over the past few days. Ailsa thinks that she wants to go back to the Fletcher’s, but Bobby says why would she want to do that if Roo and Frank were living next door.

Lance, Martin, Nico and Lynn sit at the table. Lance gets Nico to play wheelbarrows with him and whilst Nico is distracted, Martin takes his hat. They then leave immediately and then talk in the caravan about setting the next part of their plan into action. Nico and Tom search the house for Nico’s hat, but Tom tells him they can’t find it and it’s getting late and that he has to get home for his gran. Tom gives him another hat and Nico leaves. It took 80 minutes to get rid of him. Lance walks through the caravan park wearing Nico’s hat. Nico sees Lance wearing it and grabs it off him. Nico has been given a caravan as it was getting so late. Pippa and Tom have a go at Lance and Martin for their scheme, putting both Nico and the Fletcher’s at risk if The Nutter had done something serious.

Alf and Ailsa talk about fostering Bobby. Ailsa is for it, whilst Alf hasn’t been impressed with her behaviour. Ailsa says there’s reason for the behaviour, but she can’t tell him what the reasons are. Alf says he’s fostering Bobby too.

Pippa takes blankets out to Nico. Tom is worried about The Nutter being around. In the Caravan Park, The Nutter talks to Pippa from some bushes, asking how she can bear to have “that retarded boy” around her family. He calls Pippa “a good woman”, but when Pippa tells him to come out, he runs away.
