George is waiting for Brad outside the cinema and speaking on the phone to Clive who thanks him for persuading Susan and Tracy to allow him to see Bert. George is keen to get off the phone \u2013 until Clive offers to pay for the popcorn.

Tracy is laying down the law to Clive when he gets \u2018mystical\u2019, telling her to let go of her hostility. He tells her he wants to reconnect not only with Bert, but her and Susan too. Tracy doesn\u2019t believe a word of it. Later Susan arrives and both are aghast to see that Bert is delighted by Clive\u2019s return \u2013 Bert cried when Clive walked into the garden. Susan doesn\u2019t believe anything Clive has to say and wants to know what he\u2019s after. When Clive comes in and suggests a family day out to the seaside or the races, they give him short shrift. He goads them, saying Bert loved seeing him and accuses them of being selfish.

On the way home from the cinema George thanks Brad for sitting through a blockbuster when he prefers art films. He tells Brad how he wishes he could be him \u2013 with a bright, interesting future ahead.

George is putting the bins out when Clive strolls by. He says his reunion with Bert had been emotional but Susan and Tracy were cold and heartless: He\u2019s changed for the better \u2013 they for the worse. George reminds him Susan went to jail for him but he won\u2019t hear it. From now on he\u2019ll go wherever - and talk to whoever - he likes: he\u2019s done apologising.
