Plot
editKathleen and Dermott have bonded, but she lies to him about who his real father is. Dermott worries that Tommy will tell Peter the truth and threatens him. Alfie realises that Kathleen lied to Dermott, which results in an argument; Dermott overhears them arguing about him not knowing the truth and Kathleen refusing to tell him. Agnes burns a wreath on Lance's grave from "W". A barbecue and swim as a memorial to the Redwater Tragedy is held, while Eileen visits Peter, and offers to cook for him. Kieran refuses to swim, so Roisín tells Eileen that he obviously has a fear of water since his sister died in the tragedy. Kieran has a flashback of Mouse, his sister dying in the tragedy when Andrew and Dermott let off a flare and he cries in Eileen's arms. Adeen is suspicious of Andrew and Kieran's closeness and tries to keep them apart; after they indulge in horseplay in the pub's toilet, Kieran kisses his cousin. Eileen and Roisín decide to sell one of Lance's properties to pay debt but Agnes is against it. However, Eileen later interrupts Roisín's meeting with an estate agent and withdraws her consent to sell the property and announces that she will sell her home in the United States and stay in Redwater, which leaves Agnes happy but Roisín frustrated.
