EE: The Carters aren't very bright
Before Linda saw Dean, she was as high as a kite. Afterwards, she can't even speak. And they blame it on a hangover? Is nobody going to mention to Dean why she's been off since they 'spoke'?
Then she runs away and Nancy again blames it on a hangover.
People who have hangovers don't run away. I don't think DTC thought that one through.

I think after the days become weeks, and Linda's behaviour doesn't really change, then we'll see more of a reaction from them. (cue Elaine
I agree. The scene where Lee, Johnny and Nancy were laughing at her was heart-wrenching!
They do if they are going to be sick or if they need fresh air.
as for running away from the table when you've got a hangover the sight of food can be off-putting.
As someone else said on here after days/weeks i'm sure they'd notice.
but they hardly spent any time all together that day, Mick was out and about, the kids were busy either clearing up or doing their own thing, Linda was on her own for much of the day, it was only when they sat down to eat that they saw any reaction from Linda at all and they have no reason to think it has anything to do with Dean
I agree. The family have no reason to think anything is wrong yet. Babe seemed a bit suspicious though but Linda clammed up so she didn't pursue it.
The universal cure, of course, is to force a double bacon, sausage and egg bap down your neck then crack a few beers open to get a head start on the days drinking. They should have tried that with Linda, and should it fail, then they'd have a reason to suspect something was up.
Babe sussed it within minutes
She suspected something was wrong but it didn't cross her mind that it had anything to do with Dean. Why should it?
Typical of him ^_^
I do agree. I thought that at the end of yesterday's episode too when Mick was asking if she'd been cleaning
So Babe thinks it's more than just a hangover but because Linda clams up she doesn't pursue it further. This is frankly even more odd than the rest of the family not noticing that the woman is distressed not drunk.
I quite like it because it shows what a shallow selfish family they actually are. They can't really be bothered to look beyond the surface. I don't expect for a minute they should realise what has happened but for them all to dismiss it and call it as a hangover so easily when actually she is just acting completely out of character is really not very nice at all.
It's ridiculous. There is no way on earth that her family could mistake her clearly traumatised behaviour for a hangover. It's annoying me.
To be fair to Mick and her children they were busy and out of the house most of the time. As for Babe, she can't force Linda to confide in her if Linda doesn't want to. At least by the end of this week/beginning of next week the family begin to notice something's wrong.
But I do like how it is showing Mick is not the great husband he has been painted as since he arrived, he just dismissed her this morning as hungover - yet if that was Shirley he'd probably be crying alongside her, begging her to talk.
Hence why they presumed she was hungover/not feeling well. She wasn't correcting them or saying any different so they're not going to assume the worst.
They'll become concerned when her behaviour continues beyond a few hours the following morning.
