Summary
Lisa attends the annual policing conference, a weekend event she used to dread going to until making friends with Carla Connor, a former colleague and current mental health liaison for NYPD. They only see each other once a year, but this year Lisa is struggling with two things: the emotional and mental damage her ex-wife did to her and trying to keep her true feelings for Carla a secret. It turns out she's barely holding it together.

Summary
“Can’t believe you’re making your bird sleep on the sofa,” Carla mutters to Ben once she’s swallowed a mouthful. “I don’t even date and even I know that’s a huge red flag, baby bro.”
“Nobody’s sleeping on the sofa,” Johnny says firmly. “Lisa, you can share with Carla whilst you’re here.”
Lisa’s eyes turn to the size of saucers and she starts shaking her head in protest. “Oh, no, I don’t think that’d be—”
“What’s wrong with Carla?” Rob teases.
“We’ve all been trying to figure that one out for years, mate,” Ben quips before anyone else can get a word in.

Summary
Carla and Lisa help each other work through their respective feelings and confusion in the aftermath of Betsy's strokes.
---
She had felt bad for voicing it aloud on that horrid night in November but she had told the truth then and it returns to her mind, unbidden, now: sometimes it is hard trying to support Lisa when she is this consumed by torment.
But Carla had made a vow, and she had meant it; still means it.
Both looking in the same direction, hand-in-hand — forever.
She knows the hurt of being resented for burdening others with your own pain and upset; no matter how difficult it is to hold her up, she doesn’t want to subject Lisa to that same resentment, shame her for having emotions.
With a sigh, she gives Lisa’s thigh a firm, encouraging pat.
“Right. Indoors, now. This is an intervention, missus.”

Summary
“Lovey?” Carla said, as she knelt by her chair. “Kit called. He said – you'd had some bad news.”
It only took three words, in the end.
“My Dad died.”

Summary
Betsy frowned. Her mouth moved slowly, muscles fighting to shape what her mind already knew.
“Luh…”Carla leaned in as Betsy’s brow furrowed with concentration. “Luffff… mum.”
Carla’s heart twisted. “Oh, sweetheart.” She blinked hard and smiled, though it trembled at the edges. “She loves you too. Your mum loves you more than anything in this world.”
Betsy shook her head. The movement was small and uneven, but determined. “Nnnnooooo.”
Betsy tries to make Carla understand just what she means to her. (A scene I really hope we get)
