KILL FILL
A younger policeman tells an older policeman about O-Den's form while O-Den sits in the EE police interview room looking slightly bored. Older policeman says: "you can't prove nuffink, so shut it, youngster", and Den goes free. He returns to the square just as Fill is packing up the car to take Mini Fill to Squeaky's for her access visit. She lives around the corner ffs, you fat lazy spudhead. No wonder your blood pressure's a bit suspect. Fill doesn't notice a Tiny Tears-type doll tumble from the car boot because he's too busy gloating/shouting incoherently at O-Den.

Denman has been getting unreasonably tetchy about O-Den being nabbed - you'd think he'd be happy to have Shazza all to himself again, but this man is borderline psychotic, I suppose. Anyway, the little Wattses all run across the square to greet their father. Denman and Vickney take O-Den to the club to "celebrate" (at this hour? sheesh). Shazza says it's too early, and then finds The Tiny Tears Of Terror, and takes it to Squeaky's place.

NC sub-plot. TriniDad has a hot racing tip that somehow leaks out to the most unlikely gamblers on the square - possibly this development gives the EE actors who haven't been allowed to go on holiday something to do.

Shirley tries to talk to Evil Gavin but he says she should get out more, and get a shag while she's at it, then exits, laughing evilly. Shirley forgets about opening up the bookies and decides to empty the contents of her bin in front of Evil Gavin's front door. Well, there goes your harassment suit, idiot woman. She comes back later, and somehow Evil Gavin has got into her place without breaking anything and dumped the contents of every single bin in East London on her carpet.

Fill dumps MiniFill off at Squeaky's place, and Squeaky makes another speech about how he's got nothing to worry about and he should just act a little more civilised. Then she invites him down to the park a bit later. As soon as he leaves, Squeaky gets out her "Modern Girl's Murder Kit" and starts mucking about with the gun as Mini Fill plays innocently.

Today, Squeaky is a huge black cardie, with Murdering Temptress nail varnish and matching lippy.

Shazza calls around with the Tiny Tears of Terror. just as Squeaky is leaving the flat. Squeaky first tries to say: "no no there's no baby here. What baby? Oh no, I'm not Squeaky" but Mini Fill starts crying. Shazza barges in, finds the Murder Kit and starts telling Squeaky that killing people is bad, m'kay? Squeaky responds with an impassioned slightly mental speech about Fill only being interested in Mini Fill as a fuck trophy and she's only doing what a good mother should do etc etc. Shazza sensibly points out that none of that would stand up in court, and why doesn't she take Fill to court for custody. Squeaky says: "but I'm a nutter and Dodgy Marcus is the only lawyer in the entire country and he works for Fill."

So, anyway, this goes on for a while, and in the end Squeaky utters the most menacing words ever uttered on EE: "Umm...look I'm going to be late, and could you look after Mini Fill while I'm gone? I mean, I don't want to start shouting and pushing you around and stuff, but...well...you know...I am holding a gun...". Shazza tries the killing is wrong m'kay gambit again, but Squeaky gets bored and runs off, locking Shazza in with Mini Fill.

Yolande invites all the gamblers (including Kellay, Dadvis, Minty, Billy and a couple of random pensioners that I've never seen before) to the B&B to watch the racing. Doesn't anybody have any work to do? Sheesh. Even Dot turns up. Juhneen has nicked a few hundred to put on the Hot Tip, but Bazza won't let her listen to the racing on the radio, and forces her to listen to Classic FM instead. Poor cow. Bad Brutha gives a running commentary as the horse romps home and everybody celebrates. Then Dot stands up and says: "Starving children need your winnings more than you do", and collects everybody's betting slips while Yolande cackles smugly in the background. TriniDad and Jim are sad. Billy is sad.

Bazza finds out that Juhneen has stolen the betting money from Petty Cash and Juhneen has to make up some excuse about getting him a Playstation with the winnings. But Bazza has other ideas. They're going to go to a posh hotel with silk sheets and champagne and have a luxury weekend together, with lots of Baz-lovin'. Juhneen looks physically sick and her hair droops some more.
