[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 203299, member: 23"] [U][SIZE=6]Episodes 267-268[/SIZE][/U] [I](...continued)[/I] In planning her housewarming party, Morag is casting her net widely, and some are curious about her motives. Donald has warned her that the reception in Summer Bay is “reserved”. Most mysterious of all is the invitation that Bobby receives. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/0jWBXS.jpg[/IMG] Bobby’s initial desire is to ram the invitation down Morag’s throat, but Morag’s earlier softening of Donald was to further her agenda, and Donald unwittingly obliges by invoking the ghost of Alan once again: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/b256TI.jpg[/IMG] Morag warmly receives the news in a one-sided telephone call. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/Q60YNU.jpg[/IMG] She then performs a triple [I]Dallas[/I] feat by delivering a Lady Jessica soliloquy while smirking like Kristin and doing the Sue Ellen Ewing Post Phone Call Earring Replacement Manoeuvre: These episodes are not without their dull subplots at the moment - Matt teaching Leanne to read, for instance. Or Martin starting work at the Macklin Group with one trouser leg shorter than the other. Both are even less watchable than they sound. One such story, though at least moves a more interesting story forward. When Donald refuses to accept Lance into night school, Bobby ticks him off in the diner and Donald backs down. Ailsa is left confused. And again we can see the wheels turning: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/gSPTzO.jpg[/IMG] It’s not just in the diner that Donald is in danger of saying too much. At Summer Bay House he asks a favour of Pippa: Bobby, meanwhile, is determined to make a good impression and has a [I]Pretty Woman [/I]experience in an upmarket boutique: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/ji0u2i.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/RmAtrX.jpg[/IMG] (Incidentally, this aired over a year before [I]Pretty Woman [/I]was released). Bobby analyses her outburst to Pippa in the diner: Crucially, she’s spoken about it - along with the name of the store - in front of Donald, whose next move is to visit the store himself and finds himself dealing with the snotty slag in question: Donald then pays another visit to Summer Bay House to request another favour of Pippa: would she and Tom could give Bobby the dress and say they’d bought it: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/M3ZwIg.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/TkBtZL.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/ahwiaG.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/RHqig3.jpg[/IMG] It’s soapy greatness. I can’t remember exactly how it plays out from here, so I’m looking forward to the next episodes. [/QUOTE]
