Tell me I'm not crazy...

[scottish-guy]

I don't think the story is particularly bizarre or unusual or worthy of a soap opera (Emmerdale is a pile of horse manure by the way) - all it boils down to is a younger guy going out on the randan with his mates on his older benefactor's money and making up some half-arsed story in a bid to explain the expenditure.

Whether in the course of the evening he screwed some girl from a girlie bar is not that important IMHO - if instead he'd screwed some go-go boy it might have been.

The more important matter is that a pattern of lying is emerging and Matt has to decide whether to accept that (knowing it will only continue and that he will increasingly start to suspect Leo and resent his actions) or whether twice (that Matt knows of) is enough and he tells him to sling his hook.
