Episode 264 (01/01/22)

Clara's phone chimes.
Clara: Later.
Her phone chimes again and again. And again.
-What?
She lifts her head of the bed, her face is covered in smudged makeup, she squints her eyes.
-Not so double-D Clara. No wonder Chester has wondering eyes. Didn't expect to see these last night. No. No. No. No. No. No! How? How did this get sent to everyone. Chester! I'll kill him!
In the hospital:
Celine: Happy new Year Dennis! Morning Sam! Alright Kelly?
Sam: Morning!
Dennis: Hey!
Kelly: Hey! Your chirpy!
Celine shows her her hand.
-You & Freddie?
Celine: Yeah!
Kelly looks at Dennis
Kelly: Permission to squee?
Dennis puts his fingers in his ears.
Kelly & Celine: Squee!
They jump up & down.
Dennis: Sorry to kill the vibe, but could you see to cubicle 5.
Kelly: Yes.
Celine: I'll do it, you go for a coffee & an Egg McMuffin or something.
Kelly: Thanks Cel.
Celine: It's alright, I'll be back to my cold-hearted self tomorrow.
They laugh.
Sam: You sure your ok with handling James?
Celine: I'm not scared of him. Why should I be scared of a small pathetic nonce like him?
Sam: That's the spirit.
Sam walks away.
Lana: Hi!
Chloe: Hi!
Dennis: Ah, Chloe & Lana Rainer? The sister-nurse duo?
Chloe: That's it!
Lana: You got it!
Dennis: That's Celine over there in cubicle 5, Sam & Kelly are elsewhere.
Celine waves.
-She's having a hard time with that patient.
Lana: Why?
Dennis: Convicted Pedophile.
Chloe: Oh.
Celine comes out.
Celine: You pervy cunt!
Dennis: Celine?
James: Nice to see you too!
Celine: Fucker!
She gasps.
Dennis: You ok?
Celine: I can't keep seeing too him knowing what he did to my sisters.
In the Kane's:
Gem looks at train tickets.
Berry: Train tickets?
Gem: I'm thinking of leaving Redbye.
Berry: What? Why?
Gem: I've had nothing but trouble since I arrived in this place.
Berry: The trials in a few days.
Gem: Your surprisingly calm.
Berry: I'm taking it slowly, being calm is the best option.
Dave: Exactly! Here's an idea Gem, maybe you could stay with me & your mum if you do choose to leave.
Gem: & there was me thinking you wanted me to stay here.
Audrey comes in.
Audrey: She's refusing to come home.
Berry: Who?
Audrey: Hari, she's refusing to come home.
Berry: Can you blame her. After last night?
Audrey: What?
Berry: You know what. I got the full low down from India.
Audrey: Yeah well she needed to hear it.
Berry: No. She didn't. You just took it upon yourself to say what you think. Dad abused Hari. End. Of. Story mother.
In Rachel's flat:
Rachel paces the flat.
Rachel: I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant! This is what we wanted! Me & Arlo were gonna start a family & then.
Taylor: I'm gonna be an uncle, I'm 20!
Rachel: I don't know if I can do it.
Taylor: What?
Rachel: Be a mother, but I don't wanna get rid of it.
Taylor: I'll help you.
Rachel: Eh?
Taylor: I'll help you look after the baby.
Rachel: Thank you.
Taylor: It's alright. Have you heard anything from the police?
She sits down.
Rachel: Nope, whenever I ask they just tell me it was a racially provoked attack & they're looking into further, how much further can they look into it? Racist bastards, that's all they are.
Taylor: I bet if this was the murder of a white man they'd be on it.
Rachel: Definitely, I bet they're just sat there stuffing there faces with jam doughnuts & just speaking about what happened last night on Coronation Street & laughing over their dog pissing up someone's tent in the park & how the price of Pringles has gone up instead of searching for the people-
She tears up.
-Who killed the love of my life. I want justice.
In the village:
Toshiko: My heads pounding.
Jing: No one made you try & do a whole case of Budweisers last night.
Toshiko: I really need something for this hangover, I'll just go & get some tablets.
Jing: Alright.
Flip: Hey!
Jing: Hi, have we met?
Flip: No, I'm friends with Clara, have you seen her anywhere?
Jing: No, is this over what happened last night?
Clara appears, Flip looks at her in regret.
Clara: You've seen it haven't you?
Flip frowns as they nod.
Flip: Yeah.
Jing: Someone sent the pictures to everyone in our school.
Clara: The whole school has seen my nude picture?
Flip & Jing nod, Clara cries.
In the hospital:
James: You come to give me something for this headache?
Someone in a black hoodie injects James with an unknown substance, the person runs as he goes into cardiac arrest.
Dennis: Cardiac arrest!
Lana begins to give him CPR.
Lana: 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Dennis: Well?
She checks his pulse, she shakes her head.
-Time of death, 19:33.
Celine passes by.
Celine: What's happened?
Dennis: He went into cardiac arrest.
Lana: He's dead.
Celine frowns.
