Clearing out the clutter
Carol does some not-quite-spring cleaning in the Station and decides to get rid of the clutter. Eagle-eyed Cass spots the chance to salvage something from Carol’s refuse and she agrees to let him help her clean, and keep anything she chucks out. Cass nds a bookcase and manages to sell it to Ray, giving him the idea of using the money to run workshops in the Men’s Shed. Carol is fuming when she nds out that Cass’s rummaging around has stopped deliveries from being made at the Station. Deegan tries to speak with Cass, but Carol is having none of it and chucks them both out. Carol’s anger doesn’t end there as she tells o Nora for not prioritising the Station, and also has a go at Cass. Deegan has had enough and loses his cool with everyone, to their shock.

Eventually, he visits the clinic. However, it remains to be seen if the news will be good or bad.
