So, the pair of them returned home and went straight to the hospital.
Where they were greeted by a particularly cheery doctor:
“The real issue is that the ambulance from the airport got caught up in the rugby match traffic. It was an exhibition match between France and Ireland so it was a pretty hot ticket to say the least”

“And that was at the same time as the Ed Sheeran gig was getting out of the RDS Arena so you know, traffic wise he couldn’t have picked a worse time!”

There were more quality Ryanair lines from their mam:
“I should have known when he said he could smell strawberries. Fresh fruit on Ryanair? That’ll never happen”

“They didn’t even make an announcement. But credit to Des, he did the stroke quite quietly, he doesn’t like to make a fuss”

It was then that things took a turn for the ~emotional~:
Sharon was looking through her Dad’s stuff
And she found a heartbreaking letter addressed to Fergal
But there was something missing:
“Why didn’t I get a f**king letter?”
People could relate hard
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
“Is it because he’s the son? Does that make him more important?”
Then there was the moment Sharon went up to chat to her Dad in bed
“I’m sorry”
Right at the end, Rob showed up unannounced at Sharon’s
“How did you know? He’s dead. He died”
</3
So the episode ends on the whole family hugging in the doorway, with the little man’s hand rubbing Sharon’s back
It was heartbreaking stuff
A great episode, but so many tears
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
What a rollercoaster.
