Brassic S05e05 M4a May 2026

Carol doesn't want Mac's money. She didn't even come for Mac. She came to say goodbye. She reveals the baby isn't Mac’s—it belongs to a man she met in Blackpool—but she used Mac as an excuse to get the gang together one last time because she is moving to Canada to care for a sick relative.
