Christmas plague and all things 2026

It’s suddenly freezing, the hot water bottles are out, and Terrie and David are back at it — starting with Jake the dog basically running the whole house schedule like he pays rent.

Terrie’s running on about 20% with a brewing chest infection and the fear, while David is somehow 100% and looking for answers… starting with a full interrogation of Terrie’s “quick” Monday night out.

Terrie brings Sydney into town for a YSL beauty event… and ends up rattled by how unsafe Dublin City feels after seeing drug use in broad daylight, sparking a proper chat about safety, addiction, and why supervised injection centres might actually help.

Terrie’s back with the girlies’ tan, a brand‑new iPhone, and absolutely zero access to her emails — while David tries to survive the chaos (and the dressing gown pile-up) in peace.

David’s “lucky to be here” after his second venesection… and Terrie is absolutely not letting him away with claiming he didn’t faint. From sore needles and oxygen tubes to the ongoing “vaso vagal” (or “vaso bagel”) debate, it’s chaos from the first minute.
