Lynda, Felix Katrin, Felix Amy, Sully Hankin's ready to strike Ash, Felix

GS: Paul Hankin (Leigh Cranston) Kim Sullivan (Natasha Symms) Katrin Hahn (Sandra Darnell) Kay Burley (as herself) Lynda tries to calm Amy down, who says she doesn't want anyone to know what happened. Felix gives his side that Amy has been taking orders from the owner to make him resign. Felix decides to go, and tells Ashleigh he will find a new club. As Ashleigh checks out at reception, she sees the morning edition of the paper, with the Felix/Amy story on its front page. Lynda explains to the team that Alex will be in charge. Felix leaves the club to be surrounded by the press, until Chloe comes to his rescue and they are going to the airport to meet Katrin. When Felix tells Ashleigh they shouldn't be seen together, Ashleigh returns to the Grange, and is stunned to see Amy coming out of the room next to hers! Chloe oversees Felix and Katrin’s big public interview with Kay Burley, who puts the supporters’ dinner witness accounts to them. Katrin confesses the real reason she and Felix are divorcing is because of Amy, who admitted their affair at the wives’ party. While Casper and Eugene believe Felix, Sully, strangely, defends Amy. Felix and Katrin think the interview went well, until they see that Amy has made a police statement. Katrin tells Felix she is going to have to go home for the children, and he is left alone longing for Ashleigh. When she tells him how it feels seeing him on television with Katrin, Ash lets it slip that Amy is staying next to her at the Grange and Felix dashes off to see her. He barges his way in and tells Amy he will go, if she just tells the owners to end his nightmare. Strangely, Amy pretends she doesn’t know what he is talking about, and Felix realises there is someone in the bathroom - to which the door locks shut! He bangs on the door for whoever’s in there to come out, and Amy calls for security. Felix is arrested, and when Chloe arrives he says he saw a man's wallet with a distinctive keyring. Chloe suspects Amy has a married lover. Chloe notices the keyring Felix described hanging in reception where the players' car keys are kept, and takes her chance by snatching the key and presses the alarm to see which car they belong to. When the players come out, Chloe watches as none other than Danny Sullivan gets into the cheater car! Felix is hesitant about using this to destroy Sully’s marriage, but Chloe reminds him it's either he or Danny. Chloe bribes the Grange receptionist to print a copy of Amy's room bill and discovers Sully’s number listed at least thirty times. Felix meanwhile approaches Danny and asks if he knew anything that could clear his name, to which Sully says he doesn't. Felix then tells Chloe to do what she has to. Sully skips training and goes to see Amy. There, the guilt has gotten to him and he asks her to drop the charges. He tells her it's too dangerous to have all this press around them, and he can't risk losing his kids, although it’s Amy Danny wants to be with. Before long Lynda is reading Felix a statement from Amy admitting that she was wrong in her allegations. When Felix learns Amy is issuing it to the press, he tries to stop Chloe leaking the Sully story. She is already at the press conference when she receives his call - as Paul Hankin puts it to Amy that she is responsible for another family being destroyed. Lynda tells Felix the job is still his but he turns it down, saying he is beaten by the owners and wants his children to have a father. He thanks her and kisses her goodbye. A distraught Kim swings for Danny in the Players' Lounge whilst a remorseful Amy is handed her very own letter from Dragons Corp - giving her her marching orders. Felix goes to the training pitch one last time to tell Ashleigh he is leaving and wants her to come with him. She tells him things are different now, believing that she would still be a secret to the world. As he turns to leave, Felix finally does the right thing by Ashleigh and kisses her in front of the players, and an anguished Cass. He wishes her a wonderful life and bids she, and Harchester United farewell. Notes: Last appearance of Felix Hahn (Joachim Raaf) The Best: Tony Campbell of Sky Sports reporting how Lynda tried to hush up the Amy/Felix incident by offering the sponsors free travel to away games. Kay Burley making an appearance. Chloe’s determination at coming through for Felix. And what a pounce from Kim on Sully! Quotes: Chloe (to Felix): "I do not want you looking like a middle-aged skirt chaser whose private life is a mess" Katrin: [in German] "She's got your number!". Hankin’s character assassination of Amy: “Have you told the truth about anything this week?” Foreshadowing: Natasha Symms returns in a regular role as Kim from 10.6 Trust onwards, where she is in bitter ex-wife mode! Additional Info: Sully’s car had a familiarly recent role in the show - it’s come back with some impressive bodywork formally being Don Barker’s West Ham pool car involved in the fiery demise of sixteen characters! It’s presence is believed to be down to it being Jane Hewland’s own car. Surprise!: Danny and Amy’s affair. Didn’t see that coming! But it opens more story opportunities for the recently promoted Sully than being at home with a rarely seen wife and kids. Soundtrack: Jack Johnson: “Traffic In The Sky”, Paul Weller: "All Along The Watchtower" and "Brand New Start", Portishead: "Roads" <<SE09 EP12 |  Season 9 Main Page | SE09 EP14>>
