WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU JO JO
Bad Brother does a drug deal, little suspecting that coppers are
watching his every move. He goes back to the house and plays with
Little Orphan Annie. She makes him feel bad by contrasting her
childlike innocence with his worldly badness, or something. Trini-Dad
tells BB that he is good with kids and should contribute more but BB
can't be bothered as he knows he is leaving the show soon. Trini-Dad
finds out that they have successfully bought the Kwik-e-Mart. Again.
They seem to find this out every month. Little Orphan Annie finds the
drugs in BB's jacket pocket and uses them for a dolls tea party
(available this xmas: Barbie Crack House?) but luckily BB finds her
and takes the drugs away before Trinidad spots them or she gets high
or OD's or whatever.

O-Den quizzes Shazza about the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder he
found in the club. Shazza says it was just JoJo getting up to
shenanigans. O-Den is suspicious. He asks Denman why Shazza is acting
all weird and Denman says "I don't know, it certainly isn't because
we're having an affair". Denman moans to shazza that he can't carry on
hurting Teen and wants to end it. O-Den starts grilling Shazza again
and she admits that something happened between her and Denman. O-Den
pulls a comedy "GRRR!" face and is about to run off and beat him up
when Shazza backtracks hastily and says that she tried it on with
Denman but he wouldn't do anything because he loves Teen so much.

More Drippy/Fool/Billy tedium. Drippy moans to Fool about Billy. Billy
mopes around until dot reminds him of the spirit of Christmas blah
blah blah. Billy gets some xmas decs and does up the flat. Drippy is
touched that he is made the effort. Next!

Teen marches JoJo upstairs and makes her pack. JoJo, Teen and Mo all
shriek at each other non stop. Oh my poor aching head. As they are
going out to the car Teen empties JoJo's bag out onto the street so
she can check JoJo hasn't nicked anything. Bitch. Denman helps her
pack her stuff up while Jojo begs him to tell the truth to Teen. As
Charlie drives her off, Jojo says that Teen is a dozy bint who doesn't
even realise that her bloke is shagging his sister. Truer words have
never been spoken. After she is gone, Denman, Teen and Mo all
celebrate. Mo says that A-Garry can move back in so no-one suspects
that him and Minty are gay. Too late for that, love. They all do
Christmassy things together.

Charlie drives JoJo to the suburban hellhole from whence she came.
When they get to the house, the locks have been changed and JoJo's mum
twitches the curtains and then pretends to be out. Hmmm, this isn't
looking too good. Rainman yells and bangs his big paws on the door
until Jo Jo Ma finally lets them in. She is a bit squirelly and is
obviously still mental. She has even forgotten that Charlie's wife is
dead. She says that she isn't better yet and that she can't have JoJo
back as she is an evil hell child who drives her crazy. She says that
she nearly committed suicide once but that JoJo stopped her. Charlie
says "oh, that's nice" but then Jo Jo Ma says she only didn't commit
suicide because she didn't want to give JoJo the satisfaction. Yikes!
Jo Jo Ma is the best evil mum since Sheila Hancock tried to slip the
tongue to Steve Owen! JoJo is sad and goes on about how she used to
look after her mum but then gets angry and says "well, fuck you then,
you crazy bitch" and storms out. Nice acting from young JoJo here.
Charlie tries to talk Jo Jo Ma into changing her mind but without
success. Outside JoJo cries and Charlie gives her a hug and takes her
home. Mo, Garry and Teen are all prancing around drunk and immediately
start protesting when JoJo reappears. JoJo: sad.
