## Resource

It’s Tracy’s 51st birthday dinner at the Bull, and Bert makes the most of her staff discount, with Susan insisting on paying. They can’t help but mention absent Clive, who Bert defends. Apparently Clive is busy with a new venture and needs some investment. Tracy is quick to point out how Clive stole from Bert’s pension. Embarrassed Bert makes to get up, and Susan sighs at Tracy’s outburst. At the Bull, Elizabeth chases Fallon up about her new job offer at Lower Loxley. Fallon shares with Lynda her misgivings about people having to pay to attend the fete. Tracy snaps at Lynda about it, but mainly due to the situation with Bert. Fallon buys Lynda a drink and offers sympathy, with Lynda reciprocating as she asks about Fallon and Harrison. After a pep talk about deciding what you want, Fallon confirms to Elizabeth that she wants the job. From her garden, Carol sees Bert passing and wonders why he won’t stop to make a typically snarky comment about her gardening. As they chat, Carol comments on Clive and Bert wonders why everyone has it in for him. Carol doesn’t soft-soap Clive’s criminal past, but encourages Bert to stay in touch with him. She talks about her late son Richard, and Bert supports Carol’s idea of a memorial service to him. Later, with the party cut short, Tracy regrets her outburst. Bert clearly has a blind spot when it comes to Clive. Tracy knows that whatever she does for her dad, he’ll always choose Clive over her, and it hurts.
