I'm guessing you're a hair stylist MrsOfB if you are it's a good job you can't see my self-styled haircut very short, grey and wonky esp from the back apparently

No, not a hair stylist! I just have eyes. I also cut my own hair this week. Certainly not anywhere close to a pro job. But I’m not on TV!

@Optimist1

If I was involved in setting up a job big enough to fund the purchase of a pub I would definitely not be including a deaf person in the plans, for many reasons including the safety of that person.

I've been imagining the job "going down" since Ben was definitely in on it. everyone is going to have to either shout at him or do hand signals like covert army operations do in films 😂😂

I see Sharon's hair might be causing conflict

"The job" is going to be a disaster with lots of phill shouting BENBEN...

Have I missed something here? I thought Ben chose Callum over doing any more dodgy dealings?

His loyalty to his dad is too strong he wants to prove his hearing loss hasn't
Made him "weak" Callum is going to find out I'm sure.

Ah ok thanks, yep trouble ahead for Callum.

Do we know what “the job” is? Is it stealing more cars? Or is it people trafficking?

It involves a "warehouse". I'm sure we could freeze iPlayer on a map of the layout....

How did Karen not know about the vandalism

Obv shAz wants baby but Phil keeps saying the two of us

Yes you wouidnt do a job with a deaf person

Jean dressing up as seducing Phil. Wtf

Stacey is with another man. Prob pregnant then will be a 4x4

Shame they split up stace and Martin

Ruby and her blonde 3some was funny. Knew it would be male

Drug selling in the club. Naughty

I’m so bored of these arty mini movie wannabe episodes. I just want normal soap stuff. This is like a mash up of transformers versus mission impossible.

Agreed. And the eastenders front subtitles was very jarring!

So what exactly was the place the job was at? There was open access, only one security guard (I'm assuming that was the body on the ground), no sign of any merchandise or stock, with the exception of the bar area!

A disappointing episode, but as you say, Smallsteps, arty.

It was very difficult to work out what the job actually was. They were in some giant maze of a warehouse that seemed to also have a night club or lounge in it. Not sure what Phils duties were. There was a dead body. Or an incapacitated body at very least. Did phil kill them for a fee? And then a van with something being loaded into it by someone who wasn’t the boss. But the money was also in the van. So maybe phil was supposed to deliver whatever that was. Not sure why boss decided Ben being there had changed things. Surely Ben could just go along with Phil and do the job with him. I’m very confused.

Forget all of that. Their fingerprints are all over that abandoned van, the gun, the warehouse...

Has nobody heard of gloves?

good point!

Ben drank half a bottle of whisky then drove to meet phil, ok then! I think Danny said that Phil was supposed to get the blame for the 'body' but agree it was all baffling and basically nonsense

Yes! Ben was drunk!

Utterly nuts.

I wandered off in the middle of it to do something else more interesting, like cleaning the bath.

They stole the money, but the boss man k it’s where Phil and Ben live so will just go after them, ridiculous!!

I know it was intentional to show how little Ben can pick up/lip read but I found that really hard to follow.
I presume he has lost all hearing now after the gunshot???
I'm not sure I'll survive a break in EE before SD filming restarts its really weird atm

Totally confused as to the whole Phil/Ben plotline. No idea what the job was. Random dead person.

Weird.

I just watched and liked it. The Lola thing was annoying but enjoyed the rest we were not supposed to know what the job was because Ben didn't pick it all up.

Danny was setting Phil up because. Phil humiliated him over past "jobs" and getting punched in the face for tormenting Ben
