Monday 6th May 2013

Poxy emerges from the presumably abandoned GP office to look at Kat really weirdly. Then Kat has to patronise Count Moonula for putting up baby gate.

Phil hands off Lexi to Sharon.

Ian - having announced his business venture with Janine on Friday is overseeing construction which managed to start on a Monday... No wonder Polish builders are so beloved, clearly they're able to book themselves in for jobs based on Polish prophecy powers. Oh and Lucy is back to being evil and Ian has entirely reverted to his pre-trampoid state because everyone has the memory of an etch-a-sketch.

Count Moonula is moping about Janine not bringing Scarlet round.

Tedious Ava and Cora stuff.

Denise is not impressed with Evil Lucy's (perhaps more aptly dubbed Skeletor given her apparent aversion to food) attitude and a hilarious scene where Lola and Sharon try to make small talk, which has Lola (with hair clearly fashioned to mock Sharon's RIDICULOUS brain controlling hair extensions) making fun of Sharon. Then Billy Idiot bursts in and announces that she'll get Lexi back in two weeks.

Ian gets a grudging apology from Evil Lucy before one of his Polish workers has an accident (and tears his sign). As he has reverted to old Ian, rather than the pleasant pudgy Ian who has been around... he's totally unconcerned and tells the guy he isn't getting paid.

More Moonula moping. Yawn. Then he goes and knocks stuff off the desk in her office which leaves Billy Idiot looking gormless. No change there then... and Sharon is looking like a homeless whore when he comes out. No change there then.

The most stereotypical Polish builder ever is drinking away his problem in the Vic... It feels like a slapstick scene... there's tension from waiting for someone to deliver a punchline that never comes... Perhaps this is what purgatory feels like. Then we have Poxy saying she's apparently ready to get knocked up, GP certified. Saint Alfie is not too enthused. Quelle surprise.

Count Moonula returns to be shouty.

Sharon - still going for hooker chic - tries to get her pills back from Lola... who is having none of it and tells her that she needs to tell King Phil.

Tedious Ava and Cora stuff again - yawn. Apparently Ava has mummy issues now and because Dexter Fletcher kept hassling her she goes to see Cora and that's them friends again.

Janine is being a BAD mother (and evil) again and it's making Count Moonula rather cross.

AWKWARD CORA AND AVA SCENE!

Ian finds his Polish builder and gives him a piece of his mind... and Evil Lucy lambasts him but might be able to help him with waitresses... strange that he needs help given the general length of employment in Walford is measured in hours.

Kat finds Poxy's pregnancy test and is not best pleased.

IRON MAIDEN IN THE VIC! Which is a lot more interesting than the same trite Ava/Cora dialogue. Interrupted by Dexter Fletcher, just before Ava storms off.

Sharon gets back to Phil's just to be told she forgot about her son... not really news.

Kat returns to find the baby gate reduced to kindling and Michael drinking. Kat turns this into a "poor me", as Michael does the only logical thing there is to do in Walford - drown his sorrows.
