Episode 99: Girl Talk
Alice: It's only me. Can I come in?
Helen: Yes but don't look at me. I'm a mess.
Alice: Helen, you've been crying. What's wrong?
Helen: I've just had some really bad news from Michal. He's fallen in love with someone else and doesn't want me to contact him ever again.
Alice: Oh, you poor thing.
Helen: I mean it wasn't as if I didn't see it coming. But still it's a shock to see it all down in black and white.
Alice: That's awful.
Helen: But you know what the worst thing is? Poor Tim got the brunt of it all. He just wanted to have a chat with me and I completely went off on one. Alice?
