What we know so far!

Monday 11.48pm December 2015:

Receives another call as he is leaving stadium. This time Kate and Colleen work him over and accuse him of causing his grandson trauma. Richie suggests that New Ted may have been left at Kinda but fails to mention the frantic nature of his arrival and departure at pickup time. Kate suggests that he put on his black tights and skivvy and break into Kinda and bring New Ted home.

Richie refuses to do any such thing and tells the girls that they are being ridiculous and Jackson has to man up and deal with it. Colleen decides to open a bottle of Southern Comfort and suggests to Richie that he sleep outside tonight. Jackson cries himself to sleep and Kate is still furious.

Tuesday 3am December 2015:

Richie wakes up in a cold sweat as he has just dreamt that his team has lost the Grand Final. Unable to get to sleep on the cold floor he tries to wake Jackson up to let him in but Jackson tells Kate and they shut the curtain. He spends the rest of the early hours tossing and turning in shed.

Richie gets into an argument with brother Wayne about the grading of teams over Summer. Waynes accuses Richie of being behind the Grading Commitee’s decision to hobble him by not picking a competitive team and then stacking his own team to win a premiership. Richie responds by telling Wayne that he has won enough Premierships and that one season is not the end of the world. Richie also questions Waynes captaincy ability and that maybe that is why his team failed to reach finals. They do not speak for the rest of the afternoon.

Tuesday 6pm December 2015:

Richie arrives at home and senses trouble. He tries to head for the garage but the girls cut him off at the pass. He is confronted with a rather scruffy looking New Ted. The girls ask as to how New Ted could have got this way?
