Eddie is in for a shock and Shula feels betrayed

It’s clear to Lynda that Tracy’s not herself. Tracy admits the rumours about her and Oliver are getting to her. And since Oliver’s chat with her she feels like they’re not mates any more. Lynda’s sure that’s not true, but tells Tracy stoutly that whether she likes it or not, Oliver’s the boss. They’ll just have to find a way to get along.
Freddie admits confides to Kenton that Oliver’s gone a bit weird and serious lately. He lets slip about the rumours and Kenton is astonished. People are full of surprises, observes Freddie, and proceeds to bring up some unlikely events from Kenton’s own past – revealing his source in confidence. After a phone call from Kenton which raises her suspicions, Shula realises that Freddie’s read her draft autobiography. She’s furious at the betrayal of her trust after all she’s done to support him. Mortified Freddie apologises profusely. Shula grudgingly accepts his contrition, but refuses to discuss it further.
Alf and Eddie find ‘Carmen’ at the pub in Hollerton that Jolene directed them to. She’s a drag act. After enduring some banter from her, they feel she’s unlikely to be the one they’re looking for. Alf persuades reluctant Eddie to talk to Carmen, and they discover he’s called Gaz – but his mum’s called Carmen. They resolve to pay her a visit tomorrow.
