Before we begin, damn the A R M S 😍. Victoria is acting up (she’s bored according to Katie), spilling a drink on Robert which starts a rant about him never having kids (sure, Rob). In the pub, Robert is one of the gossiping about the Alan/Steph debacle that just went down.

Well, we didn’t get that far. He seemed obsessed with my inside leg. He was a bit upset when I told him what to do with his tape measure. 😂

It’s Katie’s 18th birthday and Robert’s feeling bad about Andy and thinks it’s time for Jack to build some bridges with him but it’s too soon. Robert gets Katie an expensive chocker for her and her first thought?… is he feeling guilty about something. Robert’s booked a restaurant for him and Katie but… Syd’s throwing a party in the pub for her… he’s not happy about it but fine. Jack has words for Val about her wedding planning without input from him. At the pub party, Robert is pleased to see Katie and Jack on better terms while she and Donna are as well.

Robert wants to throw a party for Katie’s 18th but she doesn’t want to rock the boat with the Sugdens specifically Andy. Katie coaxes Robert to work on Donna’s scooter. Where Robert fails Syd gets Katie to agree to drinks in the pub for her 18th.

Syd makes the move out while Chas screeches at him for not staying put and fighting for their home. Katie vents to Robert what is going on with Syd and Chas. Robert has words with Sadie for putting Katie in a difficult situation with Chas. Robbie (ugh) blushes from Sadie’s words about him. Sadie gives Katie a heads up there is hope for a job with the Kings after all but she’s undecided. While the foursome are watching a movie, the power goes out… thanks to Sadie.

And the first woman to come into the pub is… Viv! Andy completes the dare easily enough. Robert continues with the snide remarks this time focusing on Katie leading Andy to throw a punch at him. The animosity continues outside where Robert states he won’t be Andy’s best man! Katie’s response about Andy and Robert’s scuffle shows little empathy and more shock that Robert would refuse to be his best man 🙄.

Pearl snubs Katie which only gets her on a rant with Robert about woe is me, she has no friends anymore and is the target of blame for the cause of everything, what did she do to deserve this? Danny and Syd make an effort with Andy to have drinks while snubbing both Katie and Robert. Because of their treatment, Katie pushes Robert to leave the pub. Later at the caravan, Robert assures Katie he’s where he wants to be… with her.

Jack leaves his keys in the rover and ten minutes later, it’s gone! Daz and said rover show up at the farm. Robert stayed over Elaine’s and she tries to sneak him out but it’s unnecessary, Frances didn’t come home. While helping with bales of hay, Robert’s asks Andy about Katie. Jack’s talking to a copper about his missing rover when Andy shows up with a cover story. Robert gives Daz a warning about Andy being ‘unpredictable when he gets mad, I wouldn’t want to cross him.’ Andy issues a final warning to Daz.

Robert’s next dare is quite interesting… having Andy ride a go-cart in only Viv’s knickers. Jack arranges the music for the wedding. While going through the dare, the guys take Andy’s clothes with them and into the pub. All are amused when Andy walks into the pub with the knickers on, all but Viv 😂. Viv wants her knickers back that instant but, erm, on the other hand. Things are getting too much for Katie prompting her to confide in Chas about her affair and that she loves both. Chas sees it as the armed robber syndrome, falling for a bad boy.
