Plum on ABC and ABC iview S1E5 – In flashback once more, teenage Plum waits for his dad to come with the footy camp money, but he is late. When Albert turns up, he has a new family in the car, and young Plum is hurt.
Present day and Plum (Brendan Cowell) is three days sober and sweating hard, taking Gavin (Vincent Miller) and Char (Maria Dupláa) to Forbes for his mum’s 75th birthday party.
But it’s not all cuddles and photo albums! The old tree is chopped down, mum is senile, and the searing heat adds tension, plus the new priest is kinda creepy. On the drive home Plum and Char air their secrets and he is left to walk home through the fields.
