Friends

Uncle Andy and Mervyn's friendship is put to the test, when Dympna suggests that Andy might be holding Mervyn back. But ever loyal, Big Mervyn defends his mucker and says that he is grateful to have such a great friend and that he bears Andy no ill will at all - even if he did ruin his chance to become a world famous concert violinist! However, the atmosphere of brotherly love and harmony is shortlived - later that day Billy and Dympna discover that Uncle Andy and Mervyn have had a major fallout. Indeed Andy goes so far as to declare that Mervyn is dead to him! Unfortunately as local loyalists hear of the breakup and take sides a huge loyalist feud develops. As the feud intensifies, streets are barricaded, people flee their homes and worst of all - Dympna's aerobic class is cancelled! In order to restore some semblance of normality, Uncle Andy and Big Mervyn are persuaded to speak to Frankie Spence - an experienced loyalist mediator who is determined to get to the bottom of the problem...
