DEBBIE: Mum, it's not every day you take an overdose.
JULIE: Oh, for God's sake, Debbie, I did *not* take an overdose! Don't be such a drama queen! I simply took a few more pills than I was supposed to, that's all.
DEBBIE: That's an overdose, Mum.
JULIE: Why does everyone have you keep going on and on about it?! It was a simple mistake, OK? No big deal.
DEBBIE: It's no big deal to find my mother passed out in the lounge? What are you saying, that I've got no right to be upset about what you did?! You've got no idea how much you scared us all and now you're acting like we should just pretend it ever happened?!
JULIE: It's not that important!
DEBBIE:(upset) You could have died!
JULIE: It's OK, it's OK!
DEBBIE: No it's not! Ever since Dad left I've been treating you like Public Enemy No.1, Mum. I'm so sorry.

Julie hugs her and tells her she has been a bit awkward lately, but Julie hasn't been mother of the year either. She assures Debbie that things will get better and Debbie promises not to be the daughter from hell anymore either.

When Cheryl has gone, Lou tells Helen that Julie broke down at the car yard the other day.

Cheryl has come to ask Lou if he has any work for Darren. She offers to pay him, and he can pay Darren!

LOU: I just don't need someone like Darren at the moment.
CHERYL: What do you mean, "someone like Darren"? Just because he's been in a detention centre, you don't trust him, or you don't think he needs another chance?
LOU: It's not that at all! He's too young to sell cars, and he's not skilled as a mechanic.
CHERYL: Fine, then he can do something else. Like cleaning cars?
LOU: That's Rick's job!
CHERYL: Rick's got a job at Lassiter's!
LOU: Cheryl, there is no rule against having two jobs you know. Provided his work at Lassiter's doesn't interfer with his job at the car yard, I've got no complaints.
CHERYL:(not happy) Alright.

She walks out.

Helen is telling Julie and Phil about Scott and Charlene's son Daniel. Apparently they were disappointed that Julie didn't call in and see them, and Julie snaps that there wasn't time.

When Helen has gone, Julie tells Phil he can go, too, but he won't. She begs him not to tell Helen about the sleeping pills as she's fine now. He agrees, as long as he can stay until he's satisfied everything is back to normal, and Julie gets counselling. He'll sleep on the couch.

Gaby and Mark smile in relief!
