DEAKIN: For what it’s worth, for my money, we did all the right things.
MEADOWS: Well. Here’s to Jo Morgan. Let’s hope she understands.
MONROE: They’ve agreed not to pursue the complaint.
LOXTON: Nice one, Sir!
MONROE: If you apologise.
MONROE: All right?
LOXTON: It took a bit of doing, Sir.
MONROE: And now it’s over. Except that it’s not, really, is it, Steve?
LOXTON: Sir?
MONROE: You overreacted.
LOXTON: They picked the wrong day, Sir.
MONROE: We can all keep cool when everything’s going well; the test comes when it isn’t.
Like the episode dealing with the fall-out from Viv’s death, this one focuses on good and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Andrew suggests counselling and Bob says that the choices are drinking with your mates or getting on with the job. June is shown visibly improved after confiding in a friend (Bob) and letting her emotions out, while the final seconds of the episode show Steve drinking alone. No surprise at all that Steve responds with anger and isolation, given that anger’s the only emotion he allows himself and the people who know him best are too good at seeing through his mask.
