Coronation Street Catch Up: the professional pussy holder edition

 your one-stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

 

 

Good grief!

 

How many more potential Joel killers could there be? Now even Carla looks suspicious. Who's next? Kirk? Maybe he slipped out for a kebab on the night of Joel's murder?

 

Yes, the Joel murder suspects continue to pile up. Let's recap. Dee Dee is antsy and hiding something. Ed and Ronnie broke into Joel's flat and then ran away. D.S. Swain has bruises all over her body. Carla says she was out at the factory to make sure the lights were turned off.

 

It's all quite a conundrum for the lead detective, slippery Kit. Too bad Kit is a major control freak and seems intent on making life miserable for Swain who has been taken off the case but remains fixated on the investigation.

 

When Swain's daughter (Betsy) sees the bruises on her Mum's body, she demands to know what's going on. Lisa fobs her off with a couple of cock-and-bull stories but Betsy knows she's lying and Carla (who knows that Lisa was struck by a car while pursuing a thief) may spill the beans.

 

Of course, it would help if Kit focused on his work instead of trying to worm his way into Daisy's good books. Naturally Kit can't rely on his own limited personal charm. Instead he sneakily extracts info from Daisy's ex, Ryan, for details about Daisy's likes and dislikes. Then the duplicitous detective pretends to espouse the same preferences as Daisy, much to her delight. So it seems that his 'smarm offensive' is working.

 

Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse for D.S. Swain when she learns a complaint has been made against her and she rages at Daisy and Kit.

 

Now let's back up a bit and talk about Gail. 

 

Congrats are in order (I guess) as Gail proposes to Jesse-come-lately and he accepts. This happens after Jesse confronts David who is revealed to be the thief who stole Damon's stash of cash - presumably in an effort to buy Gail's house. Armed with this knowledge, Jesse has the leverage to quell David's constant criticism and move ahead with his plans to wed the fair Gail.

Sarah and Audrey are not amused.

 

Speaking of not being amused, Bernie gives Dev the heave-ho after discovering that Chesney has been laid off (while the Kebab shop is closed due to health violations). Dev tries to make up with a cringy entertainment act during the quads' birthday, culminating in a marriage proposal (to Bernie not the quads) which is rejected.

 

Billy thinks he's ready to resume his arch deacon duties but then finds he's not up to it. (By the way, if Billy ever gets a big promotion, he could be known as 'Billy Bishop'. Just saying...)

Where was I? 

 

Oh yes, over at Ken's, Adam and Steve discover that Ken had a big windfall of cash from his premium bonds (all I ever got was stamps). Steve and Adam are concerned that Ken is being fleeced by Cassie and it is left to Steve (who coincidentally just had a legover with Cassie) to confront her. Cassie is outraged and Ken informs the lads that it's his money and he'd like to enjoy it before it's too late.

And now for a few lines from the week that was:

Dev to Bernie:

"Bernadine Winter, will you marry me?"

(evidently not)

Gemma tells Ches that maybe her Mum isn't keen on...

"...spending the rest of her life with a man who thinks waistcoats are cool"

(that would be Dev)

Mary, paraphrasing a morning TV host who let a cat escape from his arms:

"I'm not a professional pussy holder"

(no comment)

Dev to Jenny after getting rejected by Bernie:

"I've lost my zip"

(try using buttons or Velcro)

Billy to the bishop:

"I don't think I can be an arch deacon anymore"

(how about a semi-arch deacon?)

Gail tells Jesse about something she read in a magazine:

"Apparently Hugh Bonneville likes to put marmalade in his spaghetti Bolognese"

(and Marmite on his waffles)

 

Audrey to Gail:

"Health, wealth and happiness eh? Well, one out of three isn't bad"

(Good odds for Lotto 649 too)

 

Betsy to Lisa:

"Did you kill Joel?"

(if you mean Billy Joel, then the answer is "no")

 

***

Well, fellow Kit Kritics, so ends another week. I do hope the mystery surrounding the killer of Joel gets cleared up soon. I guess we can only wait and see. Thanks for the pleasure of your company here at the Hip and have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the thick as a plank edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

Poor Gail. 

 

All she wants is a nice fella (as opposed to a serial killer or a con man), a less dysfunctional family (as opposed to a son who pushes her down the stairs or another who steals from their grandmother), and some peace and quiet.

Well, since she suffered a heart attack, she's getting a bit of peace and quiet as she recovers from surgery. And, who knows, maybe Jesse is a genuine and caring bloke. After all, it was Jesse (not David or Sarah or Nick) who was with Gail when she had her heart attack and stayed with her in the hospital despite the glares from David and Sarah.

Sarah doesn't like Jesse because she thinks he stole Damon's money. David doesn't like Jesse because he's a Johnny-come-lately (and a former children's entertainer - say no more) and he thinks Gail always falls for wrong'uns.

However it turns out that Jesse did not steal Damon's money. In fact, Jesse happens to find the stash of cash under the stairs in the Platt house - just where David hid it. So it seems that David stole Damon's cash, possibly so he can buy Gail's house (which Gail is selling to pay for Bethany's medical bills in Turkey)

Speaking of Bethany, she got a rude surprise when one of Harvey's cronies broke into the flat looking for Damon's cash. And, if that wasn't enough, Daniel happened to walk in at an inopportune time and saw Bethany's stoma which caused Bethany to freak out.

Elsewhere it's just an endless cycle of bad news for Chesney and Gemma. 

 

Gemma is grieving so Kit arranges for her and Bernie and the quads to go to a cottage in the Lake District (Arthur Ransome country). That leaves Ches to do a deep clean of the Kebab shop and take Joseph to the airport for his class ski trip. 

 

To do this, Ches leaves Kirk in charge of Dev's kebab shop. Bad idea. The health inspector shows up and is not impressed by Kirk's approach to food safety and hygiene (i.e. the food-on-the-floor five-second rule). Worse, the kebab shop is subsequently closed down. Worse still. Joseph misses his flight and it's only thanks to Rita's generosity that Ches can afford to book a later flight.

Thanks to Bobby's prompting, Lauren and Max finally admit that they have feelings for each other. Now all they need is a place to stay when baby Frankie joins them.

Dee Dee is on a knife's edge as she deals with life after the death of Joel. Detective Kit hasn't yet unraveled the truth behind Joel's death but interviews Dee Dee and her family. Meanwhile, Joel's father shows up and wants to talk to Dee Dee. 

It's moving day for Leanne and Toyah as they both leave the flat, leaving it to Nick and Sam. Sam and Toyah reconcile following Nick's affair and subsequent break-up with Leanne. Later, when Nick and Toyah are alone, Nick reiterates his love for Toyah and they kiss. Hmm.

And, last but not least, Ken and Cassie are making plans for their trip to Portugal and money seems to be no object. Steve is not happy about the situation.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Audrey to David re: Gail:

"My daughter can be thick as plank when she wants to be"

(seems to be in the Platt DNA)

Audrey to David again:

"All the women in this family are absolute disasters when it comes to men"

(the men aren't exactly winning any gold medals)

 

Masked burglar to Bethany:

"Where's the money?"

(are you doing a Jerry Maguire impression? If so, it's "show me the money")

Bethany to Sarah re: the masked burglar:

"Has this got something to do with your gangster boyfriend?"

(no comment)

 

David to Sarah re: Jesse:

"The bloke's about as threatening as a custard tart"

(unless the custard tart has a knife...)

Gail to her family after her angioplasty:

"You're not getting rid of me that easily"

(although in the past, they have tried)

***

Well, Kebab Kolleagues, so ends another week. Best wishes to Gail for a speedy recovery. Hopefully she won't find out that David stole money belonging to a gangster - or that will send her blood pressure skyrocketing. And, of course, Davey Boy may wind up getting a visit from one of Harvey's thugs.

Ah well, all will be revealed in good time. Thanks very much for stopping by and have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the lying, thieving scumbag edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

So Joel is dead and found floating in the river.

 

But he didn't drown but rather was conked on the head with a blunt object.

 

Semi-competent detectives Swain and Kit seem to think it was a crowbar (couldn't it have been another blunt object like a hammer or a rock or a hotpot? Just asking).

 

As you may recall it is Long Tall Kit who is leading the investigation while Detective Swain remains sidelined but keenly interested. Suspect number one is bad boy and part-time guyliner, Mason. His no-good brothers tried to coerce Mason into doing a robbery and equipped him with a (you guessed it)  crowbar. Mason declined and got rid of the crowbar but was caught by Kit who just happened to be hanging around the garbage bins.

 

Mason says he's innocent although flashbacks reveal that he was angry when Betsy told him how Joel threatened and assaulted her. So I guess he had a motive.

 

But wait! There's also Ronnie and Ed. The Laurel and Hardyesque twosome decided to dispense some street justice which led the bungling brothers to break into Joel's flat with (you guessed it again)... a crowbar. Although no-one has sussed the twosome's antics, Debbie is suspicious of Ronnie's activities.

 

Elsewhere it seems that neither David nor Sarah are fans of Jesse who seems to be getting mighty comfortable with Gail. Now Sarah suspects Jesse might have taken Damon's stash of cash (apparently Jesse overheard Adam talking to Daniel about the location of the cash).

 

Meanwhile David is not impressed with Jesse and his smarmy style and the fact that Gail is selling the family home (Carla and Ryan have already had an open house visit - even though there was no open house).

Elsewhere, Stu suddenly decides that he is going to do his own 'Brexit' and breaks up with Yasmeen and moves to Germany. Achtung Baby! That was unexpected and fast. 

Sam makes an ill-fated attempt to reunite Nick and Leanne. While shucking oysters for a surprise romantic dinner for his Dad and Step Mum, Sam cuts his hand and is taken to hospital by Asha. The incident prompts Leanne and Nick to come to a sort of entente cordiale and Leanne subsequently wants Nick to move into the flat, while she moves out solo and Toyah... well, I guess she's going to have to find a place of her own.

Lauren is pleased to know that baby Frankie will soon be released from the hospital but is apprehensive about her ability to take care of a newborn. Bobby offers moral support as does Max but, hold on, is there something going on between Max and Lauren? Bobby is still carrying a torch for Lauren so this could become a messy situation...

Gemma is stressed and grieving (after Paul's death) and off work. Chesney is working all hours (at minimum wage, 'natch) but, as usual, the family is skint and Joseph wants to go on a pricey school ski trip (oh, for goodness sake, just ask the rich grandma (Linda) to pay for the trip).

And now for a few lines from the week that was:

David to Sarah re: Damon:

"He was a lying, thieving scumbag"

(and those were his good points)

Jesse to David:

"I'm finding you a tad hostile"

(that's like saying the Titanic had a bit of ship trouble)

Ed to Ronnie after they broke into Joel's flat with a crowbar:

"This was a stupid idea"

(ya' think?)

 

Gail re: David and Sarah's low opinion of her love life

"They're self righteous know-it-alls"

(yes, but they're got a point)

Ruby to Evelyn re: Hope whose vape started a fire in the house:

"I thought she wasn't a pyromaniac anymore"

(I guess she fell off the wagon) 

 

***

Well, fellow hot pot hombres, so ends another week. I guess the Joel investigation will drag on for a while. Maybe they should consider handing the case over to Scott and Bailey, or Rosemary and Thyme. Just a thought. Have a great week and thanks for the pleasure of your company here at the Hip.

 

Coronation Street Catch Up: the tofu (not toffu) edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

 

 

So who exactly is this Jesse guy?

 

Apparently he met Gail in Thailand and they had a holiday romance three years ago.

 

Before that he had a thing with Eileen's half sister (Julie Fish, I think).

 

Before that he had a thing with Eileen, while he was gainfully employed as a children's entertainer (aka clown).

 

So what's he doing back on the Street?  Seems he's quite smitten with the fair Gail and wants a chance to reconnect in any way she chooses - much to the consternation of David and Sarah.

 

All this while Bethany has been flown back to Weatherfield (from Turkey) and has been admitted to the Coronation Street ward of the Weatherfield General Hospital (hope Lauren pops by to visit).

 

Gail is in the process of selling her house to pay for Bethany's hospital bills. However Adam has just revealed to Sarah that Damon was offering a stash of stolen cash to help Sarah and Bethany.

 

Elsewhere, the drama over Paul's ashes seems to have subsided as Billy is now okay with Bernie's plan to shoot Paul's ashes into space on the next available Spacex mission. Among Paul's last wishes was a request that Kit do a certain dance but Kit has refused. Besides he's busy being the lead investigator on the Joel case.

Meanwhile D.S. Swain is off the case and commiserating with Carla. The two have much in common. Swain is gay and Carla is sick of men (and almost 50). Camaraderie almost turns to passion but Swain runs off before things go any further as she fears Carla is a straight woman just being a romantic 'tourist'.  All this happens after Carla is threatened by the father of the little hoodlum (whom she doored) leaving Carla shaken and vulnerable.

 

Stu is continuing to stick up for Mason and encourages him to return to college although Mason's rehabilitation is in jeopardy as his thuggy brothers are hanging around and things get tense when someone throws a brick through Yasmeen's window.

Nick wants to have a heart-to-heart with Toyah but Toyah gives him the brush off. And, finally, one of Hope's hidden vapes starts a fire at home and Ruby just happens to walk into the house.

 

And now for a few lines from the week that was:

 

Paul's wishes for Gemma, Billy, Bernie, Summer and Kit:

"Have a ton of fun"

(Thanks Paul!)

 

Carla to D.S. Swain:

"I'm washed up and nearly 50"

(just wait till you're 60)

Swain corrects Carla's pronunciation of soy bean curd:

"It's tofu (not toffu)"

(and it's soy, not sooy)

 

Carla to Swain:

"I know what it's like to be a woman"

(do tell)

 

Jesse to Audrey re: his romance with Gail:

"We had a wonderful two months"

(Thai food every night, I assume?)

Shona tries to guess the identity of Gail's old flame:

"I'm going to say you're Jesse the Clown"

(correct)

Jesse tells Steve that he has no romantic expectations:

"I'm happy with whatever Gail has to offer"

(mithering?)

 

***

Well, fellow Street Surveyors, so ends another week. Not sure about this Jesse character. What's his game? Why does he know everything about everyone? Is he a well-meaning fella or another of Gail's future 'unmitigated disasters' (as Audrey says). I guess we'll find out. Thanks for the pleasure of your company at the Hip and have a great week!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the ashes into space edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

 

The good news? Dev has discovered Rave culture.

 

The bad news? Dev has discovered Rave culture.

 

Yes, Dev has his finest Rave duds on as he and Bernie and a bunch of friends and family celebrate the life of Paul through music and (what can loosely be described as) dance.

 

This marathon mosh pit event follows the rather more sombre funeral for Paul the day before with Rev. Billy as the celebrant. Paul's drunk father shows up in the church but Billy lets him stay for the service. When Bernie discovers her ex in the pew, she flips out and spitefully tells Billy that Paul was dead before Billy could say his farewell over the phone.

 

Now Billy is more angry and upset than ever. He gets drunk, makes a scene in the Rovers and tries to snog Todd. Whoosh! Later on, the same 'man of the cloth' heads down to the Rave where Bernie hands him a small box of ashes which she deems to be adequate for Billbo as Bernie intends to send the rest of the ashes into space (to infinity and beyond, one assumes).

 

Billy is furious and barges into the Rave, cuts a swath through the dancers, and grabs the urn of ashes which is sitting on top of a speaker.  It's clear that the argy bargy between Bernie and Billy over Paul is doomed to continue.

Elsewhere, the search for Joel continues. D.S. Swain thinks he might be dead (as he has left notes hinting at this). Dee Dee, on the other hand, thinks Joel is just playing everyone. Dee Dee finds a car hidden by Joel in the countryside which leads her to believe Joel has a devious plan. 

It's official. Fiz is pregnant but not thrilled about it as she says she is too old and exhausted to face the prospect of another child. Ty is ready to take on the challenge and Hope and Ruby are keen. However Fiz and Ty agree on a termination and tell the kids that the pregnancy was a false alarm.

 

Speaking of alarms, Hope admits stealing a vape (vapes?) from Dev's and Ty and Fiz are suitably angry.

Also speaking of alarms, the news about Bethany gets worse and worse. 

 

As you recall, while in Turkey on a PR assignment, Bethany has a liposuction procedure which doesn't go well. She gets an infection, finds out that she'll need a stoma for the rest of her life and then gets pneumonia. Each day, the cost of her medical bills goes up and the Platts back in Weatherfield don't know how they're going to pay for it all.

Gail (welcome back, by the way) has an idea. She wants to sell the house. David is not keen as he.. um.. lives there. A crowdfunding plan goes awry when Audrey mistakenly posts a message on Facebook which lets the liposuction cat out of the bag.  When folks discover that Bethany's 'life threatening condition" is a result of lipo, they suddenly become less generous. 

 

Daniel plans to use Bertie's trust fund money to help Bethany but Ken says he should be careful as that money is earmarked for Bertie's future.

Last, but not least, Adam discovers (while checking Sarah's voicemail) that Damon has some stolen cash that he'd like to donate for Bethany's health care costs. Daniel is not keen on using stolen money to help Bethany but Adam goes to prison to get more info from Damon.

Oh, and Kirk is starting a singles club and Carla isn't interested nor is D.S. Swain.

 

And now for a few lines from the week that was:

 

Todd as he tries to comfort Billy:

"I'm a closet nice guy"

(so you'll be coming out at some point?)

Dev explains his outfit to Ches:

"I researched Rave culture"

(keep researching)

CEO of beauty spa in Turkey to Sarah:

"The risks of liposuction were clearly spelled out"

(spoken like an oily corporate toady)

George reacts to Paul's colourful funeral car:

"Disco hearse? That's a new one on me"

(Is Donna Summer driving?)

 

Ty inadvertently spills the beans to Hope and Ruby about Fiz's pregnancy:

"You can't tell a soul"

(that never works on Coronation Street)

Gemma to Bernie during Paul's funeral service:

"You can't say chesticles in church"

(I don't think you can say chesticles anywhere)

David tells Adam he's his favourite of Sarah's exes:
"Way better than Windass!"

(sounds like a new slogan)

Billy to Todd re: the fate of Paul's ashes:

"We've decided to split the ashes 50/50"

(it's like an afterlife custody arrangement)

Bernie shares an idea with Dev:

"I want to send Paul's ashes into space"

(I'll call Elon Musk to reserve a spot on the next Spacex)

***

Well, patient punters, so ends another week. I guess we eventually find out what Joel is up to. Till then, I hope you have a great week and thanks, as always, for stopping by and spending time here at the Hip.

Cheers!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the man school edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

Are we sure that Billy's a Reverend?

He certainly doesn't act like one.  Nobody's opinion about Paul's funeral seems to matter except his. He's not keen on Bernie's post-funeral rave (to celebrate Paul's life) but grudgingly accepts it. His grief seems to take precedence over the pain and anguish of everyone else - including Summer who's caught between the wishes of Bernie and Billy.

 

Meanwhile Bernie is going full tilt on preparations for a rave on the Street. Gemma, Todd and Ches are pulled into the frenetic activity (whether they want to be or not). We can only wait to see how the funeral + rave will work out.

 

But there's more pressing news afoot.

 

Over in Turkey, Bethany was supposed to be doing some PR work for a spa/beauty clinic and apparently opted for a liposuction treatment which went horribly wrong. As a result, Daniel gets a call from a Turkish hospital letting him know that Bethany is intensive care with sepsis.

 

Daniel immediately takes a flight to Turkey but Sarah can't join him (her passport has expired). When Sarah finally joins Daniel at the hospital, she tells Daniel to get lost because she learns he was having a heart-to-heart with Daisy and ignored a number of calls from Bethany.

 

Bethany finally regains consciousness and is comforted by her Mum but she is horrified to learn that she will need a stoma (permanently) as a result of her botched surgery.  And there's more bad news as they learn that Bethany's health insurance won't cover her hospital bills which continue to increase with every day she's in intensive care. 

 

Back in Weatherfield, Daniel is angered to learn that David knew Bethany was thinking of having liposuction but did nothing to stop her because David didn't think she was serious.

 

Speaking of Daniel, it seems that Daisy is still in love with him and she admits as much to him (while he ignores calls from Turkey). Ryan seems to have cottoned on to this reality as he breaks up with Daisy.

 

More pressing news on the Joel front.

 

Now that D.S. Swain has finally managed to collect enough evidence to have Joel charged, he goes AWOL and misses his court appearance to enter a plea. This follows a knucklehead move by Ronnie and Ed who decide to take matters into their own hands and end up roughing up Joel. That backfires (as you might expect).  

 

It's not clear what exactly Joel is up to but he finally shows up (drunk) at the caf and corners Roy (who really should have a panic button in his caf given the number of times he's been threatened/roughed up/intimidated) on his premises).

 

Betsy and Dylan finally admit that it wasn't Mason who stole the purse from a Speed Dal customer but rather Betsy who framed him. Mason is thus back on the Street (much to the dismay of Gary and Sean) and Stu gives Mason his job back.

Over at the home of Ty and Fiz, the vape 'cat' is finally out of the bag and Hope's vaping habit is  discovered. Ty and Fiz are suitably horrified and take steps to end Hope's vaping habit but it seems that it won't be easy.

And now for a few lines from the week that was:

Sarah to Daniel:

"You're all ego"

(you say that like it's a negative thing)

 

Debbie to Ronnie (re: his I'll advised roughing up of Joel):

"Did they not teach you about this in man school?"

(I guess he missed that day)

 

Ryan to Daisy:

"I just think you love Daniel more"

(ouch)

Sean to Daniel re: Daisy & Ryan:

"Splitsville Arizona. Population:Them"

(very poetic)

Carla wonders why Roy is in such a good mood:

"Did they discover a new species of bat or something?"

(a soprano pipistrelle 2.0?)

Daisy talks about her and Ryan's travel dreams:

"A gondola in Venice. A camel in Egypt"

(or a camel in Venice and a gondola in Egypt... she's not fussy)

***

Well, fellow Street savants, so ends another week. I do hope there's better news for Bethany next week but hopefully there will also be some brighter storylines in the future (one can only hope). Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the third nipple edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

 

 

Could the dragnet be closing in on the slimeball (aka Joel)?

 

At long last, it seems that Dee Dee and D.S. Swain have latched on to some evidence which might lead to Joel's downfall. They manage to trace the delivery of the labour-inducing drug that Joel ordered to kill Lauren's baby. 

 

Then Dee Dee (wearing a very revealing outfit) puts the screws to Joel's old employer and comes up with a list of witnesses who can testify as to Joel's nefarious activities. And, Swain manages to track down one of Joel's victims (Ellie). Ellie at first refuses to make a statement but is shocked when she sees Lauren's baby in the hospital.

 

Meanwhile, Betsy finally admits to her Mum (D.S. Swain) that Joel conned her into helping him acquire the labour-inducing drug. Armed with all this new information, Swain arrests Joel.

 

While all this is going on, Lauren's baby takes a turn for the worse and, on top of that, she gets a visit from social services informing her that baby Frankie will be in foster care (at least for a while) once he leaves hospital.

 

Over at Ty's place, Alina and Dorin are set to return to Romania except that Ty has taken Alina's passport. When Fiz finds out, she returns the passport and pretends she found it. But, later on, Alina discovers the truth and bars Ty from seeing Dorin.

 

Debbie offers Bethany a job doing puff pieces for a spa in Turkey. Bethany is not keen but since she doesn't have any other prospects she accepts the gig. Meanwhile, over at the Rovers, Ryan is getting the feeling that Daisy still has feelings for Daniel.

Cassie and Ken are getting ready for an all expenses paid (well, for Cassie, anyway) holiday. At the same time, Tracy has decided to return to Tommy O. in Spain.

 

And the argy bargy continues over Paul's funeral as Billy is adamant about having a traditional Christian ceremony while Bernie wants something more fun... involving a Subaru.  And finally, Cassie discovers that Hope has been vaping.

And now for a few lines from the week that was:

 

Tracy wants to help Amy prepare for her date with Aadi:

"Do you want to borrow my leather trousers?"

(only if she's joining Duran Duran)

Steve to Cassie:

"You're taking advantage of an old man to get a free holiday"

(that pretty well sums it up)

Debbie to Bethany re: her trip to Turkey to write PR articles about a spa:

"I wouldn't mind and a few of those treatments myself"

(mud bath ahoy)

Dee Dee to Joel:

"I'm learning to play the banjo"

(while Joel goes down)

 

Billy to Summer re: Billy's funeral

"Maybe I'm handling this all wrong"

(ya' think?)

Bernie cities proof that someone in the past was a witch:

"She had a third nipple"

(a trifecta!)

Carla to Betsy re: Joel:

"That man is a menace to women"

(no kidding)

***

Well, fellow Street Sleuths, so ends another week as Swain and Dee Dee try to bring Joel to justice. Maybe this time the charges will stick. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
