Redeeming 6

Joey Lynch is working his job as a mechanic when Tony, his boss and the father of his ex-girlfriend Aoife Molloy, asks if he knows why Aoife has been acting so upset. Joey broke up with Aoife a week ago, believing he is not worthy of her yet because he is an addict. He wants to get his life back together before trying to have a relationship with Aoife again, but he doesn’t tell Tony any of this; instead, he blames Aoife’s mood on an argument with her friend.

Joey goes outside to smoke a cigarette and calls to check on Aoife, whom he still wants to be friends with. She is annoyed to hear from him, especially once he tells her he still loves her. When Aoife asks if he is clean, Joey admits he hasn’t had any substances in two weeks, since she found him nearly overdosed on heroin. Aoife asks why they can’t be together, but when Joey says he still needs to work on himself, she asks him not to call her again.
