Thursday 4th March 2004 - 4 Kings Wins

by TheRealReverand

3 major plots dominated this episode of Emmerdale.

The Kings win their first victory against the diminishing Tate empire by getting the Tate Trash contract. Tom bribed Henry it would seem? Zoe is left questioning her integrity as a business woman and Scott just does not know what to think - but that is hardly surprising is it? His brains after all are in his pants. This is the man who told Chloe that Zoe was "sex on a plate." And he was at it again tonight when Dawn came calling wanting Zoe to sign some benefit papers for Terry. One of his first questions was did she want to see the bedroom? This leaves me asking one question what does Scott see in Dawn? After all she has as much charisma as an empty dinner plate these days.

Previously we had had Dawn sniping at Terry again in round 50,000, poor Terry, always been a favourite character and he was trying to find work on the telephone at the time.

Scott is still naive about his new friend Carl.

The celebrations seen in the King household in the closing scene, was touching. But they better watch out for as someone once said in the French revolution, "There is only one place to hit a king - on the head." As Carl will soon find out tomorrow. We met Matthew and heard that Sadie is Jimmy's and they are all afraid of her.

The Dingle/Tate baby saga continues YAWN. The only major revelation was Sam's hidden intelligence. Not only have we learnt that he can calculate 63 x 2 but he has the power of reason in regard to saving money pointing out to the family they only needed two DNA tests because if both were negative, then that would leave the third possible father (Marlon) as daddy. However Sam is not ready for a career in CID for he failed to see behind Steph's bribe - see below.

There was a hospital scene between Debbie and Charity but it is not worthy of much comment in my opinion. Just the same scenario we have been treated to lately. Charity wants the baby adopted and Debbie wants it kept. So what! Debbie wanted to name it Enoch after Cain's son in the bible. Charity thought Noah was more appropriate as she wished someone had built a boat to save her.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Steph appeared to take Shelly's words to heart yesterday about being nicer to the work force if you want them to work harder but the industrial stalemate at the factory continues. In today's battle Jarvis shows his credentials as a shop steward by quoting European directives at Steph where she keeps her nice act up and is forced to comply and in doing so invites them for an afternoon drink where she offers them overtime. There surely is a catch however so Jarvis and CO better be careful as she has totted up all what they ate and drank including Sam's 4 packet of crisps. I guess she will now have grounds to quote further European directives at them concerning drinking in work time. For the record I am with Jarvis all the way. He is a character that is fast rising on my favourite list.

----------------------------

Two other things concerned me
1. Whether Enoch really was the son of Cain. I have checked and found it to be the case although being the son of the murdering Cain is nothing to be proud of. I was intrigued to find out who Enoch really was - as there have been two of real significance in the bible. This Enoch was not of any significance.

2. Incidentally as a conusor of malt whisky it sickened me to think of a really mature quarter of a century old whisky being wasted on Scott and Dawn. Stick to the lager kids.
