Storyline

Several of the regulars are starting to wonder when they're going to meet Donal's new friend, Suzie. What they don't know is that Suzie is a black bear that spent most of its life performing in a circus. Liam comes up with an idea to get money out of Brian Quigley but it all goes bad and Donal decides to set the animal free. Sean Dillon takes an interest in Kevin O'Kelly but Padraig's hatred of the Dillon family gets in the way. Brendan meanwhile doesn't quite understand that fatherhood is something more than just dropping by to see his daughter when he has a few spare minutes. Siobhan lets him know exactly where he stands.
