Hey!

Aha!

Alfie!

Good luck!

What?

I hear you're trying for a baby!

Oh, hello. You got something to say to her?

Like what?

-I think you know what.

-No, I don't.

Baby, come on.

Michael, sorry. I know you're upset about Scarlett.

When you see her, which you will...

I'm going to stop you there.

Cos it's thrilling, it's really interesting,

but I have a VAT inspection I need to be at.

I'm sorry, he's really hurting.

Alice. No, tell me that ain't who you're crushing on.

-Who? Psycho?

-No...

Are you serious?

Babe, I ain't an expert in these things,

but the way he looked, he didn't look interested.

Here, what do you think of that?

You should go for it.

Yeah, it's all right, but I'll never get to see you.

Yeah, you will, it's a bit of extra money,

and besides, we've got a wedding to plan.

I didn't tell her!

Rox, I said quite clearly...

She found the leaflet, Alfie. I'm sorry.

Are you playing games?

I'm not... You're the one playing games,

you're the one that doesn't want her to know.

No, no, I didn't quite say it like that, did I, eh?

Alfie, are you serious about this baby?

Because, listen, if you're not, if it's too soon, we don't have to...

Rox, stop, stop.

Yes.

I'm serious. All right?

OK? I'm serious.

I've got to go, cos I'm going to be late.

Don't be mad at me.

No, Rox, stop, I'm not mad, all right?

I've got this whole landlords' beer-tasting thingamajig.

Go and get changed then. Go on.

-You OK?

-Yes.

Sure? OK.

See you later.

I'd have thought Max would've give you an hand,

seeing as you're in the family way.

And that Cora! "I'll only be half an hour," she said.

That was four hours ago.

And when she comes back, if she comes back, she won't say thank you.

You see, the trouble with me was that I was brought up with manners.

I mean, them Branning men have never been no good with washing machines.

Give us a corner. Come on, give us a corner.

I'll help you.

That's it.

No...

Together. Now don't get near, keep it stretched. Right, up we go.

There we are, and now I will come to you.

There we go.

Dad, please? Just 50 quid.

No, Lauren, I've got a kid on the way, haven't I?

I've got this big project and I need a new camera lens...

Look at the state of you.

I'm not going to give you money just so you can pour it down your neck.

You want money, Lauren? Go and find it yourself.

Ugh!

You all right?

Yes. I was asking him for 50 quid.

You been out all night again, ain't you?

Yes. Not like I've got anything better to do, is it?

Ian's looking for a waitress.

I thought that job was for you?

Yeah. But he's taking on two.

You should earn a bit of cash.

Show Joey you can hold something together.

Last time I worked for Ian Beale, I got sacked.

I pushed his bin over.

He's all right. He's mellowed.

Oi!

Is this your idea of getting the cement?

I'm getting the cement! After my break.

You've had enough warnings. You're fired.

Yeah, he's a bit of a plonker. Got a bit of a temper.

Don't think anyone else is going to go for it.

It's not Whitney's job. It's a free world. Anyone can go for it.

I've got a date.

Please come with me first.

Does this look all right? Thought it looked better on your stall.

No, it looks lovely.

Right. Well, we're going to go to a film first,

and then we're going to go to a roller disco.

A roller disco?!

Yeah. What's wrong with a roller disco?

Nothing's wrong with a roller disco. Just...

Please come with me, Mum. Please?

I really want to take the kids on some nice days out this summer.

You don't need me for that.

No, but it's evening work, ain't it?

And I thought whoever gets the job, we could share the shifts.

Ah!

Jay, you're always working late!

No, I'm not.

I am, like, so totally bored of revision.

Yeah, well, Phil did say we've got to finish this by tonight, innit.

Well, Lola wants to get her mind off the hearing now she's got a date.

She's got a date already? That's wicked.

Yeah, but she's really nervous and going out...

Listen, Abi, babe, babe. I'm working!

So? It's not like you spend any of your money on me, anyway.

Hi, hi, hi! You ready for tonight then?

They're not coming now.

What? Oi! You promised us a night out!

Hey, good news about Lexi!

You told everyone then?

Listen, you two go and we'll come and meet you in a little while.

Well, maybe we'll go and find some mates with money instead.

Good idea. See you later.

See, the thing is, I wanted to tell you myself.

Why didn't you?

Must be serious then.

It is. You know it is.

Starting a family. I'm happy for you.

Yeah.

Little brother or sister for Tommy. And Amy.

You'd like that, wouldn't you? Little baby to play with?

If that's what you want, if you don't think it's a bit too soon.

That's why I wanted to tell you myself.

Cos I knew it would hurt you.

But I'm not hurt, am I? I'm fine.

You're fine, Roxy's fine.

Good luck to you, that's what I say.

Just hope you two have more luck with it than what we did.

Hiya. Um, Kat was just...

Fine.

Fine. I thought you were just coming up to get changed, that's all.

All right?

You nervous? I'm nervous. I shouldn't be nervous.

I bet you're not nervous. No?

No. Have you seen Lauren anywhere?

She doing it as well?

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

Application forms?

Yes, thank you.

I thought this was your dad's restaurant?

It is. I'm just helping.

-I'll have two then, please.

-What?

Lauren's going to be here any minute. Thank you.

-Hi.

-All right?

You ain't nicking my job!

-Cheers.

-Bianca's idea.

Ian's going to need more than one waitress, ain't he?

I did know that.

-You know, Michael was really upset earlier.

-Sorry?

When you scrapped his visit.

It just escaped my mind.

You're really not being fair, Janine.

So what do you think I should do?

Shall I go round and comfort poor Michael?

He doesn't need comfort. He needs to see his daughter.

Let's get going, shall we, Scarly? Yes.

Excuse me.

He's got a VAT inspection now. But he'll be home later.

VAT inspection? Poor Michael.

Excuse me.

Is it going to be a boy or a girl?

Um, I don't know.

Well, when you know me, you'll know I ain't one to gossip...

..but Jim's grandchild is Jim's grandchild.

And it don't seem right that the poor little creature

should suffer the sins of the fathers.

So I'm going to knit it something, and I need to know the colour.

Can't you do yellow?

-Yeah, yellow would be lovely.

-But I ain't got no yellow.

Crisps or biscuits?

You know, when you get your cravings?

Crisps.

I'll do it blue. Ta-ra.

And what you going to do in a couple of months when you ain't showing?

I'll be pregnant by then.

Not 13 weeks, you won't be.

It's been a month since you told him. And you still ain't pregnant.

Right. Tommy's asleep. Amy's watching cartoons.

Everyone is happy as Larry. Whoever Larry is.

Rox, listen, sweetheart. I invited her up. All right?

I just wanted to explain everything to her

so I could put the record straight.

Good, good. I'm glad.

I just wish you didn't hide it from me, you know.

Enough with the secrets!

I understand. Listen, I don't have to go to this thing.

Tracey can't make it in, and Fats has got another night off, so...

Go.

Listen, I'll be back before you know it. All right?

See you later.

Yeah, right. The last time he went to a landlords' do...

Make a night of it, Alfie. I can cope.

Yes?

Here you go.

Bianca?

You all right, Ian?

Always happy to help an old colleague,

with my years of experience in the catering industry.

Yes, but we at Le Square,

we're aiming for a more, younger, professional clientele.

Great. Tips.

With a younger, more sophisticated workforce.

You saying she's unsophisticated?

No, he's saying I'm old.

Yeah, well if she's old, what about me?

Are you applying an' all?

No, I'm hanging up my washing.

Well, Carol, I would've thought you'd have known

to wear something more age-appropriate for a job interview.

Don't want to put people off their dinner, do you?

I'm sorry, you're not what we're looking for.

-So I'm all right frying bacon?

-We all have our position in life.

Ian, you can't say that!

All right. Take me to a tribunal.

Come on, Bianca. There's only so much Beale you can take.

Know what, Ian? I could sophisticate you under the table.

Right. If you two can follow me.

Lucy!

Can we wait a minute? For Lauren? She'll be here.

No. There's no time. Sorry.

Bruv, you're going to get kicked to the kerb.

Abi is going to find herself someone with some dough.

If you'd ever had a girlfriend, maybe then you'd understand.

Are you mad? I've had plenty of girls, bruv!

I want to take Abi somewhere nice.

None of this doing everything as a group.

-I just think she finds you boring on your own.

-Whoa!

Trust me, there's nothing boring about me!

Oi!

You being filthy about my daughter?

No, I weren't saying that!

That's exactly what he was saying, Max.

I was just saying, I'm going to take her somewhere nice.

Yeah, somewhere nice. That's what she deserves.

Nicer than what you've got in mind, that's for sure.

I told the buyer first thing. Pull your finger out.

So, me and Abi. Watch this space.

I'm watching.

Lucy, look, I appreciate everything you're doing. I really do.

But it's going to be my restaurant, OK?

Time for the first trial.

Sorry.

-Can you just try it again?

-I told you.

He's tried it three times. Ray's tried it, I've tried it.

Kirsty's tried to try it.

I fix it. 50 pounds. Pay for my boarding house.

Thank you, no, I don't need any help. Cheers.

Then I do it for a beer.

Didn't I just say no?

You've got to pull the plug out. Wiggle it a bit.

I do know, Kat. I did used to own this pub.

Where is the plug?

Sorry.

Right, ladies.

-The winner is...

-Poppy.

I was just going to say Poppy.

Thank you! Oh, thank you! This is just evenings though, yeah?

Cos, you know, I have got a proper job during the day.

Not that this isn't a proper job.

Just means me and Fats,

we can get some nice furnishings for our new flat.

You know, cos you want nice furnishings, don't you,

when you move into a new flat?

Sorry, I'm babbling again, aren't I?

Anyway, good luck. And thank you!

Right, well, that means we have one vacancy left.

So, it's time for the final round.

Sorry I'm late.

That's all right, take a seat.

Love a bit of free food, me.

I guess that means I get you?

Well, that wouldn't be fair, would it?

All right, Luce, I got your message. What's going on?

Is this your only account, Mr Moon?

Yep. Single stream. That's the one. There we go, yep.

Are you going to be much longer?

Oh, not interrupting, am I?

I just thought you might like to see your daughter.

I do. Hello!

Hello! I'm working now, though.

I just spoke to your little minion and she said you were quite upset.

No. I'm fine.

I thought you might like to come round and put her to bed.

Suit yourself.

Well, can I come round later?

Later's not convenient. No. Scarlett's got a regular routine now.

I can't see how these reconcile.

-Do you want to come, or not?

-Mr Moon?

Can you just give me a minute?

Well, don't say I didn't try.

Mr Moon?

Mr Moon?

Another drink for the birthday boy?

And one for the landlady, too!

How you doing babe? Sash?

Sash, calm down. What's wrong?

-You want to calm that lot down.

-And I will.

Me and Alfie, we used to...

Kat. Thank you.

Excuse me. Just do me another. A little one.

No, I think you've had enough.

Jean's getting frazzled over here.

Right, if I have to tell you again, you're out!

-Sasha's mum's had a car accident.

-What?

They said she's going to be OK.

But she's at the hospital and Sasha's going crazy.

-OK, you need to go. You need to go.

-I know, but...

Ray, we'll manage. It's fine. Go.

Roxy, I don't mind giving you a hand.

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

Pepper, sir?

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be lovely, thank you.

LUCY CLEARS THROAT

Pepper, sir?

Can you say it like you mean it?

Pepper, sir?

It still didn't really sound like she meant it.

I don't really like pepper.

BABY CRIES

Michael, I put a word in for you!

I saw Janine in the shop earlier,

and I told her she had absolutely no right to do that.

She's just been in to the gym,

gloating at me and rubbing my nose in it.

So thank you, again, for nothing.

Come on, Alice, you don't want to be late for your date.

Yeah, yeah, babe. Your date.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Michael, but Alice is just very, very popular.

Is she?

So, who is it then? This date?

It's...

it's a friend of Fats'.

And he is, like, super-keen,

so I'm not going to let you let him down, all right?

Yeah, right.

Thanks.

You should be happy, now you've got a hearing date.

Well, I think you're amazing.

All that patience, biting your tongue,

and now it's paid off, hasn't it?

Yeah, but what if I mess up or say...

Er, no. You always told me,

you've got to keep that picture in your head,

of the day you get your baby back.

Is that how you do it, yeah? You keep a picture in your head?

She's fought months for this.

Abi, Abi, ignore him. He ain't worth it.

I used to fight people like you, you know.

People that think that they know best. But you know what?

It turns out you can't do that.

So that is why I keep that little picture in my head, yeah.

Yeah, I might lose a few battles.

But I will win the one that actually counts.

Unfortunately, there's only one place left.

Whitney.

Lauren.

Lauren, you've tried really hard.

But...

Ian. Thank you very much for seeing me,

but I don't think this is for me.

What? Whitney, what are you doing?

You've got the job.

I'm pulling out. Lauren, the job's yours.

Congratulations. Start next week.

Well done.

You ain't mad at me, are you?

You are too nice.

Oi, come on, let's all go for a drink.

With her?

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Joey? Want to come and celebrate Lauren's new job?

Yeah, course, yeah.

Well, maybe, when I've locked up. Just a little one.

See you in a bit, love.

Well, I'll see you there.

What if you can't get pregnant?

That ain't an option.

You said that three weeks ago. It ain't that easy.

If we had a baby...

Hi. Whenever you're ready, yeah?

How are you even managing to sleep at night?

Tell him the truth. Or tell him you lost it.

The thought of his face...

The truth always comes out.

If I'd told Alfie, maybe he'd have understood. But I left it too long.

You need to sort this out. Because everyone thinks your pregnant.

This is getting out of control.

I've... Um, something's come up.

We've just lost Ray.

And we're running low on change.

Yes, OK, Jean.

I've got to do this now. Sorry.

So, where you taking me?

I haven't been paid yet, have I?

She said she wanted a night out.

And you'll get one.

Taxi for the wimpy kid!

Jay, have you any idea how stressful exams are?

Yeah, course I have.

Like you've ever sat one.

That is why I'm going to take you on holiday.

Really?

Yeah. I'll save up, get the exams out the way.

We'll go, I dunno, camping or something.

Whatever.

We're meant to be cheering Lola up, to take her mind off stuff.

I'm still here!

Don't worry, you can come as well. Bring Lexi once you get her back.

Don't jinx it.

That'll be like, so, totally amazing!

Oh, no, it won't! I told you two, I ain't no gooseberry, all right.

Then Dexter can come too. Just as mates. It'd be so fun!

-He ain't coming.

-I'm telling you.

D'you know what, just forget it. I ain't got no money anyway.

Jay!

It's all right. Dexter will pay for you! Won't you?

-Oh!

-You spending my money for me again? Why you doing this, bruv?

Nice, innit?

I keep telling you, bruv, don't do that, man!

You all right?

-Back early.

-I was...

It was quiet.

Lauren wanted money for a camera lens.

I'm sure Abi's going to want to do something when her exams end.

This ain't going to be easy, you know?

Trying to pay for four kids.

Maybe you won't have to.

I can't just drop them, can I?

Can't just leave one family, start another one.

That ain't what I meant.

Even Lauren, she might be 19. She's still my kid, ain't she?

Still going to cost me.

Max...

I'm sorry, babe. It's not your problem, is it?

Just listen to me...

I shouldn't have said anything. I don't want to worry you.

We'll be fine, all right?

DOORBELL BUZZES

Look, just leave it.

-I'll just tell them to go.

-Please?

Hello?

Look, I told you, you've got to pull the plug thing out.

And I told you I know what I'm doing.

Maybe we should do them in the kitchen.

You've left the till open.

Would you give it a rest, you?

That bloke is watching the till.

No, no, no, I don't want you washing up glasses in the kitchen!

Just go and serve someone.

We still need some change. Shall I go?

No, I will go and get change. OK?

Excuse me, can you get back behind your side of the bar?

He was about to rob your till!

You're not landlady anymore.

He was going to thieve your takings.

OK, fine. Fine. Oi, you! You're barred!

-What have I done?

-I seen you.

Seen what?

Hey, hey, leave it.

I do nothing!

You heard her. Out!

Let's go.

Look, if you leave the till open you're inviting trouble.

What, like you invite trouble?

I'm just saying...

I'm just saying, don't. OK?

Roxy, I'm trying to help you.

And I keep telling you, I don't need your help!

You don't live here any more. You don't work here any more.

So why don't you just get back behind your side of the bar?

I just stopped you from being robbed.

Do you know what? Get out.

Out.

You were going to get some change.

I hope Kirsty likes them.

I mean, she said yellow, you know, just in case, you know,

but I didn't have no yellow wool,

and anyway, all the signs are for a boy.

Oh, yeah?

I think you can always dye them, although I've never been wrong yet.

You see it's your body, it knows. It never lies.

Thank you, Dot. We were just actually talking.

You know, it doesn't take long to make 'em. Not little booties.

Tiny little feet.

I had the wool off one of Jim's cardigans.

Waste not, want not, as my Auntie Gwen used to say.

And then I thought, well, Jim's little grandson,

wearing something he's worn.

That's really thoughtful, Dot. Thank you.

I know he'll never be another Bradley.

You'd have liked Bradley, he was a lovely boy.

He was so kind, so thoughtful.

I know you can never replace what you've lost,

and I know you've got Oscar, but, well...

Another boy.

Well, you was talking, so I'd better be off.

Don't worry, don't worry, Max, I'll see myself out.

Thank you, Dot.

A little boy, eh?

She thinks because I get salty cravings.

I don't care what it is.

Boy, girl.

As long as it's healthy.

Michael, you can't just pretend that Scarlett doesn't exist.

If she wants a fight, she'll have to find someone else to fight with.

Let your plans be dark and impenetrable.

Like the night.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Alfie?

Alfie, I thought you were out.
