DOTHRA VS POLZILLA: THE REHEARSAL
Slutty's worried that Fool doesn't find her attractive any more. Must be the way he winces and scrubs himself with a brillo pad every time she touches him. Fool still has his kicked labrador expression on, and encourages her to go on a lairy night out with Kellay and Teen (whose outfits get more ho-tastic every day). This is supposed to be their way of cheering up Ethel 2.0. Ethel is more interested in dozing on the sofa (is that where she lives?) and fingering Husband 1.0's medals. Kellay and Teen witter on about eternal love, men etc, and Slutty looks sadly at Fool.

Hostilities between Dothra and Polzilla begin chez Fowler, where Gay Pike has arranged a array of posh nibbles for a tasting session. Dot hates everything foreign and insists that they'll do perfectly well on Mothers Pride and Tesco ham sandwiches, and a nice cup of tea. Polzilla reveals that she has booked a big wedding cake, and Dothra is sad because apparently she was going to stick a couple of battenburgs on a malted loaf as a surprise offering. Moomin and MMartin look beleagured, and everybody goes off to the church for the wedding rehearsal. Except Gay Pike, who has to deal with an "incident" at the community centre.

Oh yes, the Ferreiraz are dotted around the square in various neighbours' houses. Adull is in the Slater tardis, where Mo is revealing an unhealthy fascination with Omar Sharif and keeps winking at him. Adull wants to buy the house back. Uh...yeah...sorry I'm bored again.

MY Gus might have to change his name to Fast Eddie MY Gus. He turns out to be a demon pool playa, and Scalliq says he should be a hustler. Just get a bloody job, Juley.

Pat bumps into ODen, who seems to spend his days hanging around market stalls doing nothing in particular - or maybe he's waiting for the Mystery Laydee. Pat tells ODen about Tink's mini-heist. ODen says that nobody would be so sad, stupid and lonely to fall for that one would they? Then Pat looks like she might land him one and he gives her a grand from the club funds - why doesn't he just employ her as the official club book-cooker? She did it for the Ferreiraz.

Moomin's wedding blues continue at the church. First Polzilla has had the order of service sheets printed on posh paper, and she's insisting on reciting some dreadful poem she found in a Hallmark card. Dothra starts yammering on about a church being no place for semi-literate doggerel unless it mentions God a lot, which Polzilla's poem doesn't which makes it evil. Polzilla gets upset and Moomin and MMartin walk out. MMartin seems to have absorbed some Moomin powers, and uses them to calm Moomin down long enough to suggest that they elope. Moomin's looking very pretty these days.
