GS: Paul Hankin (Leigh Cranston) Amy shows Lynda the boardroom scattered with cheques and envelopes, and says she found Lenny leaving with two bags. They go to the postroom where Buckman informs them that Lenny was made redundant, and upon seeing his photograph on a pass, Lynda rushes to Lenny's home. The final whistle for the Charlton game goes, and Alex explodes at Gavin for his on-field antics, telling Gavin he is gone at the end of the season. With Lynda AWOL, Alex has to sit alongside Brian Jenkins, the chairman of the Supporters Association, at the press conference. As Jenkins thanks Mario Ruoppolo for selling the club to its fans, Lynda and Amy are at Lenny's address. Lynda finds a The next morning, Lynda learns that Alex has heard back from the real owner, who sent a message saying he has never bet on him and to make Lynda to contact him immediately. Lynda is further shocked when Amy brings in Detective Chief Inspector Burrows, who investigated Prash's murder. Burrows is questioning Lynda about why she waited to report the stolen money, when Brian Jenkins bursts in and says he's heard Mario Ruoppolo is a character in an Italian film! Burrows adds it’s called “Il Postino”. Brian asks Lynda to tell him straight on whether they own the club or not, and Lynda has to tell him that they do not. Within hours, furious fans have gathered outside the club, blaming Lynda for the loss of their money. Lynda holds a press conference where the sniggering press recognise “Mail Distribution” as “The Postman”. Lynda also adds that she has e-mailed her letter of resignation to DragonsCorp. Ryan and Hector arrive back at Studs to find Cindi waiting. She cries to Ryan that she thinks Gavin has left her and for him to tell her what happened. Amy reads Lynda a message from the owner, saying he won't be providing her with a further £2M to pay back the fans, as he has already spent £10M bailing Lynda out over Hector. Gavin comes to Studs where Hector tries to stall him but Gavin overhears Cindi and pushes his way in. He asks Cindi if it's true she said she wasn't with him when she got with Ryan, and Cindi cannot deny this. Gavin turns to Ryan, and says he came to apologise for what he did to the dog, as it didn't deserve it, but Ryan is scum and Gavin hopes the FA ban him and he loses out on the World Cup! After Cindi reminds Chloe she played her part in this by paying her to leave Gavin, Chloe asks Gavin to allow her to represent him at the FA hearing, adding there would be no charge. The players hold a meeting where they put across how they want Gavin to take the blame for the sendings off, in order to save Harchester from severe punishment and give Ryan a chance of being selected for Notes: The Best: The creation of the 'Mental Block: Is This The Stupidest Woman In Britain?' banner. Well done DT art department. The reuse of Detective Burrows, who was seen investigating the murder of Prashant Dattani in 5.1 Passports Out. Hector telling Ryan that even though he doesn't like dogs, he will miss Jaws, which makes Ryan feel a little better. Quotes: Lynda: "Oh Amy. Mario Ruoppolo... is Lenny Clarke. I've been duped by a Postroom Man!!". Ryan encounters Georgie Bingham from Sky Sports outside Studs, who asks him for his view on the fans’ stolen money, to which Ryan, about to be stitched-up by Gavin at the FA, shouts at her to f*ck off on camera! Georgie asks her cameraman “Did you get it?” Continuity: On the walls of Lenny's room are pictures of past and current HUFC players and key club events, including Clyde Connelly, Lee Presley and Frank Stone, a shot of the trophy being lifted by Luis at the 1999 FA Cup Final [2.76], and a photo of the squad from the 2002-03 season. Dennis Wise is seen watching the game with his young son, having previously “dated” Georgina Jacobs in 1.20. Additional Info: Sommersby - a 1993 romantic drama film directed by Jon Amiel and starring Richard Gere and Jodie Foster. Il Postino, a 1994 Italian language film directed by Michael Radford. Gavin and Cindi have since moved into the Barrons from her parent’s digs since he proposed. Lynda tells Alex how she is selling her house, said to be worth (in Lynda’s opinion) half-a-million. This must be where she lived in Cass Clues #9: Cass is particularly overeager for the ‘owner’ to show himself at the press conference: “Now this, boys, I am looking forward to” and “Oh he’s actually standing us up, he’s good!”. One wonders would What Was The Score?: Having drawn 0-0 with Charlton, the Dragons will face them again in a rematch at the Valley. |
