Further details
Ray hires a clairvoyant to provide the interval entertainment and she then predicts their futures.
She tells Bobby his one true love will return - and lo and behold he gets a phone call from "the girl that got away", the girl who left him when he was 17.
This clairvoyant knows what she's talking about. She also tells Christine she will fall in love with another dog owner. So Martin buys a dog.
Finally she has a prediction for Ray - "Mmm. I don't really like to say things like this Ray, but I can't see a future past seven o'clock tomorrow night. Now, where's me handbag? I've got a train to catch."
And she goes, leaving Ray in a total state, convinced he's going to die the following evening.
Meanwhile, Sandy is also depressed. She and Terry haven't made love for over five months because she's worried it might upset baby - "I don't want Terry going near the baby chute".
Once Mary reassures her that making love is okay when you're pregnant she and Terry are at it like rabbits.
Will Bobby's love turn out to be everything he hopes for?
