Johhny’s grateful to Jazzer for reuniting him with his winning scratchcard, and happy to do him any favour he asks. Jazzer plies him with strong homebrew, of which Johnny heartily approves. Johnny promises to spread the ‘craft beer’ word among his mates. Jazzer has his eye on a woman from his milk round. Johnny admires his confidence; he has no-one on the horizon himself. Jazzer offers to take Johnny under his wing – starting with a house party on Wednesday night. And he’ll provide some of his home brew free to Ruairi for his eighteenth. Then he can sit back and watch the orders roll in. Lynda reports Freddie’s having no luck recruiting for the Christmas show, at which she’s outraged. She heads off on a mystery mission. To Robert’s delight he hears her later on Susan’s radio show, making an emotional plea to the community about how important the Christmas show is to her healing process. Well done Lyndy! Ben still feels guilty about his mistake broadcasting the Brookfield find, and the resultant trashing of their land. He suggests a post-birthday rave for Ruairi – and eighteen and a half party. Searching among his cards for more money to fund it, Ruairi finds a CD. It’s a recording Siobhan made for him. He’s overcome, and can’t immediately think about listening to it. It’s his mum’s voice; what’s he supposed to do?
