Lola's maternal instincts/woman's intuition having activated she goes all Casualty and starts shouting out instructions because obviously when your baby is potentially ill you don't call NHS Direct or take her to A&E, you just give her a baby paracetamol...
Ava is apparently unaware that B&B stands for bed and BREAKFAST... something you'd expect to come from a foreigner or a simpleton, not a middle aged school teacher. Kim and Denise seem a little shell shocked at having more black people... perhaps they're worried that the B&B is becoming a ghetto. Which would be an interesting plot - so, it won't happen.
Oh, wow. Lola calls NHS Direct. Almost as if she reads this blog... before it's published. Meaning she can SEE INTO THE FUTURE! EXPLAINING HOW SHE KNEW THIS WAS SERIOUS! It all makes sense now. Oh, meningitis scare!
How many B&Bs allow people to have people people around for dinner? Not many but Kim's is an exception but then how many B&Bs are cheap enough for barmaids to live in full time?
Ian has been told of Dot's situation and wants to get the papers involved. She thinks it's all down to god... clearly she hasn't heard of him only helping those who help themselves.
Billy Idiot lives up to his name by standing outside the house, shouting (and looking) like a crazy homeless man as the paramedics arrive.
Oh, Liam got stabbed. Easy to forget that and he thieves Bianca's mobile to ask for a favour.
Lola and Lexi get into an ambulance and the whole Square is out to see them... and suddenly everyone is terribly concerned!
Ronnie is getting out of jail! We've remembered Ronnie exists! Jack seems very pleased that the Kinder Egg Kid called him dad but Kat wants her to stay away... since when did Jack and Kat ever talk? Oh, that's right. No one ever talks to anyone. Oh and Count Moonula is going to have to start paying child support.
Worry about Lexi continues but really, who cares - if you want hospital drama you'd watch ER or Nurse Jackie... or if you're slumming it - Holby City. Perhaps Eastenders are just trying to make Holby look good by comparison with their cut rate medical drama antics? Maybe we're supposed to assume that everyone is romantically entangled and has a dark past, not to mention innumerable cases of medical malpractice and violation of professional ethics in Walford General?
The Branning brood at the B&B has become a party - which the not-so-secret wife has invited herself along to... and as she's the comic relief, panto refugee Kim has to dance. Oh and Kirstie warns Tanya off because the B&B is "her home". Oh dear. Everyone is dancing badly and that makes Kirstie leave. Who wouldn't?
Dot reluctantly accepts help from Sharon
Oh no, Liam is leaving to live with Thicky! It's like this whole storyline was utterly pointless!
More Lexi stuff - WHO CARES?!
Cora tries to bond with Ava - oh dear, that doesn't go too well and so finally the the Branning brood depart.
Count Moonula is accosted by Kat. Who wants child support and is now threatening a solicitor! Uh, if the CSA can't get the money, what's a lawyer going to do beyond charge you a lot of money?
Holby City continues, oh sorry. Eastenders. This is Eastenders. Easy mistake to make. Bianca seems pretty confident about taking on that gang of thugs. Oh, sadly Liam isn't leaving. It's almost as if this whole storyline was utterly pointless! Funny how that works.
Dot relents and accepts help! After referring to her old friends as her "crew". One has to wonder at what point Dot's brain was scooped out and replaced by an alien parasite.
Oh and back in Holby, it turns out it wasn't meningitis. What a surprise!Now everyone is singing her praises, including King Phil - who tells her about the meeting because apparently his heart has melted.
And Dot is all alone in her house... wouldn't this be more interesting if she was feeling suicidal.
