This Is His Flat

Exterior - Day - Pinner scrap metal yard

Bev wakes up Vince who is asleep in his car looking well the worse for wear he looks at his watch

Vince stumbles into the office still wearing what he was in Paris

Vince is so out of sorts he turns and says

Interior - Day - Vince's Office

Lennie is sitting waiting and Vince's spirits pick up long enough for a piece of wit

Lennie persists as Vince goes to wash himself up

Vince has not gone home since he got back from Paris

Vince returns drying himself off as he drives Bev out to make some coffee

As Bev leaves Lennie explains that Les has sent him round to try and find Vince as he has been missing for 48 hours. He was untraceable in Paris as he didn't register in the hotel.

Lennie guesses the rest

Vince plays coy and hasn't thought through the implications of her finding out once she was on English soil

Lennie wants to try to fight to save the marriage

Vince gives a damming account of their life together

Lennie is concerned about the massive Pinner empire

Vince decides to have a drink as Bev enters with the coffee - aspirins and letters one from his wife

Bev is made to read it out - it says Gina is going away fro a few days

Bev leaves and whilst Vince pours the drinks they listen to the answer phone

The call from Penny (as previous episode) is always sweetness an light Lennie's insists there will be trouble when she finds out Vince is convinced she already knows and the sweet phone call was in spite of that. His smugness is broken by a second call from Penny (one we have not heard)

Vince asks Lennie for an unnamed favour but he refuses so he folds his arms and look skywards

Interior - Day - restaurant

Penny is reading through some papers awaiting a client. Vince arrives before the client and Penny is caught wearing her glasses which she removes quickly

Vince has traced her from her office - Penny is fuming

Vince tries to calm her down

Penny tells how she found out that Vince was married

Penny is half glad she has found out as she can now appreciate how Vince has lied and used her. He tries to convince her he was sincere

Vince explains how he kept it from her so as not to spoil the mood

Penny is swimming in the romanticism of the few days they spent alone was as they always should have been together. Vince agrees

She is really smitten badly and has obviously taken all Vince's comments to heart

Eventually Penny summons up the courage (despite not being able to say the word wife) to ask further details of the marriage despite Vince being very non plussed

Penny at first seems superior on finding her name is Gina

However all is rocked when forcing Vince to describe her he lists her assets

That does it Penny shuts down the conversation despite Vince's protests yet he still wants to talk tonight. Penny suggests he spends it in with the w word she can not mention

She flatly refuses to discuss anything more with him - so he suggests talking to Lennie

The waiter arrives to inform of Penny's real guest arriving - so in a turmoil she agrees to meet Vincent so he'll leave

Exterior - Night - Scrap yard

Vince is late in arriving so Penny gets out and disturbs the watch dog. Vince pulls up and penny can;t help but admire the Rolls he is driving with a car phone. The dog still barks

Penny points out that she is not going to fall for Vince's charms

Interior - Night - Flat corridor

Penny refuses to enter the flat thinking Gina will be around until other people pass her

Penny nervously follows Vince around and cant relax Vince is made to sit on a single chair drinking the only drink in the house sherry

Vince rants on about what an affect she is having on him. Penny is quite delighted

Penny goes into a long speech about how she has suffered from the French incident

She feels betrayed at all the reassuring things Vince has said

Penny's frustration breaks out and Vince tries to reassures her

Vince leaves a worried Penny in the flat as he goes to the off license. She becomes more agitated by the phone ringing and ends up hiding in the bedroom where she noses around withe her curiosity getting the better of her.

She finds a wardrobe full of elegant clothes and remembering her promise to get even as she viciously chops up all the suits and shirts "He's sure to notice".

The credits roll as Vince drives back from the off license (across the road)

Penny is about to explain when the phone rings and Vince picks it up. It is Lennie wanting to come up
