They're back.

When?

Just now.

That's cute.

Too much?

He's a baby. There's no such thing as too much.

You're doing the right thing.

Hello!

We're making pancakes!

Oh! They smell lovely.

Kyle's a better cook than you!

Oi!

Got some bacon too.

You're really pushing the boat out, ain't you?

Come and give your mum a cuddle.

Oh! Oh!

Have you spoken to Kush?

Come on, you. Let's get you out of there, shall we?

Who wants some pancakes, then?

Quick.

Martin, we said we could do this.

So there's an Easter egg hunt in the Square later.

-Who fancies it?

-Yeah!

You said you didn't blame her. You promised me!

He's our little boy.

And she's our daughter!

How much worse are you going to make it?

Kettle's just boiled.

We've run out of milk.

I'll go out and get some, then.

Have mine. I can go without.

No, it's cool - I want some air anyway.

Mick!

You all right, Mum?

Ask your dad.

Don't start.

In a minute, all right?

Knows she's getting free chocolate.

The Vic - they've got this Easter egg hunt thing.

Want to come?

-No.

-It'll do you good - keep busy.

-Busy?

-Yeah. Take your mind off...

The booze?

Uncle Les is here.

Bit of an emergency.

-Mrs McKenna, sooner than expected.

-Les, it's Good Friday!

Death doesn't do public holidays.

Mate, I've got to take them on this Easter egg hunt thing.

Honey's at work.

Oh, come on, Les.

Phil can take us.

No, no, no, no.

Look, we'll have our own little hunt later on, OK?

Right, I'll take them...if you want.

Please.

All right. You both be good for Uncle Phil, all right?

Call me if there's any problems.

Don't let me down, Phil.

Ooh, I do like a nice neat shelf.

Yeah? You want to come and sort my house, then?

Go on, then, off you go.

-Are you sure?

-Yes, of course, that's why I'm here,

so you can take JJ to the egg hunt.

Never seen a little boy so excited.

I mean, the life that poor boy has had.

Well, you've been amazing, Denise -

taking him in, making him a part of your family.

You sure you're OK working?

I mean, this is your first Easter, your family back together.

Billy's taking them. Don't know who's more excited, actually!

-Hi.

-You all right?

How's your mum and dad today?

Wrong question.

-The kids are really looking forward to the egg hunt.

-Great.

-Good morning, ladies. You all right?

-Someone's in a good mood.

Arthur's home for a visit.

Oh! That's lovely.

I'm going to bring him to the egg hunt.

The more the merrier.

-You know Tam's back from his holiday?

-Yep.

-Is he coming?

-Nah, they've gone to see Shabs and Jade.

Family time all round, then.

Hm, family time.

Cheers, thanks.

Thank you.

Do you want some help?

Yeah, if you want.

Stace, it's so good having you home.

It's only a day.

I know, but... Hopefully. Soon.

I hope this isn't...

I thought, um...

I don't want to make a big fuss,

but...

I love you, Stace.

I love you too.

DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS

What you doing?

There's no point in doing any of this.

-Dad hates me.

-Of course he don't hate you.

Nance, come on, you really need to stop blaming yourself.

How am I supposed to stop blaming myself when Dad...?

It's my fault as much as it is yours.

I'm doing extra food. Reckon we're going to be...

Why's all that going in the bin?

-I was just telling her...

-What he said to you last night...

..don't take it to heart.

How else am I supposed to take it, Babe?

And cancelling the egg hunt?

That's going to make you feel better?

I wanted all of this to be, like, a positive thing.

It still can be!

I wanted to remind Dad of when we was kids.

Which is exactly what we all need.

A bit of joy.

SMOKE ALARM BEEPS

Oh, Abi!

I'll strangle that girl!

Lily.

-Martin.

-Kush.

I...

-When the door went...

-Am I... Am I early?

-Do you want me to come back later?

-It's just that he's asleep.

Stace.

-Well, I thought he was asleep.

-Sorry, was that me?

Did I... Did I wake him up?

No, it's fine.

I, er... I got him a...

I got you an Easter bunny.

-It's lovely.

-Yeah, yeah, that's lovely. Thanks.

Look at him!

What do you reckon, Lil? Easter egg hunt?

Yeah!

Can I hold him?

Yeah.

Hey, hey.

-ARTHUR GURGLES

-Yeah!

-It's only a pan.

-Why is nothing ever easy?

What is it now?

The clinic phoned yesterday and I tested positive for chlamydia.

So? You took the antibiotics.

What if I've passed it on?

You'll probably never see him again.

You got any scissors?

Er...yeah.

I want them back.

-I hope you've got another plan.

-Abi?

Hiya, babes. What are you doing here?

The caff's heaving. Thought you might do us a bacon sarnie?

No time for takeaways today.

Listen, I know it took me a bit, this baby thing,

but I've been thinking

and after the bank holiday, we'll go to the doctor,

get you booked in for a scan.

-Really?

-Yeah, we should make sure everything's all right.

And you know, we might even find out if it's a boy or a girl!

-We're busy, Ben.

-I'm trying to have a conv...

We're expecting a lunchtime rush.

I've got to go, I'm sorry.

All right, well, we'll talk later, yeah? After your shift?

-After my shift. Great.

-Give us a kiss.

It's a boy. I know it.

Only a pan, yeah?

Pub ain't open yet.

Billy took pity on you, then?

It's, er...what families do.

Not mine.

There's some egg hunt in the Square.

I thought I'd take them to the caff first.

You? Egg hunt?

Got Billy to thank for that.

Listen, the other day...

Get to the point.

Your birthday. I shouldn't have come.

Oh, is that an apology?

These two. I don't really know what I'm doing with them.

-She wants to know when it starts.

-Soon - all right?

You fancy it?

Billy must be off his head leaving them with you.

Come on, why don't you spend some time with us?

What, so I watch them while you get tanked up?

No, I'll tell you what, DAD, yeah?

Why don't you go and buy yourself a big bottle of vodka?

And another. And then another.

And you drink yourself to death.

And then when I have my kid...

I won't even tell them who you were.

I won't even show them a photo.

Hey-hey. Someone's made an effort!

So, when are you lot getting dressed up, then?

You're not, are you?

Didn't you get my memo?

Well, we was thinking a couple of eggs for the littluns

and then maybe come back here for two-for-one for the mums and dads.

-Mick still up for this?

-Yeah, as long as the tills are full.

Yeah, hopefully...

Nance. You all right?

Course she is. Come on, then.

These eggs ain't going to hide themselves, are they?

Open the door.

Oi.

Thank you.

This was all your idea. And deep down, Dad knows it.

Ollie's still out for the count. Shall I give him a little nudge?

-Babies sleep. That's what they do.

-What about his feed?

-He's just had one.

-Maybe I should just wake him up?

There's nothing wrong with him!

Have you tried talking to Nancy yet?

-I ain't seen her.

-That's cos you ain't tried.

You're not the only one who's hurting.

-If she hadn't lost it with Lee...

-Don't you think she knows that?

Do you think there's anything you've said to her

that she hasn't already said to herself?

Whatever happened between her and Lee - whatever she did -

she didn't mean it.

She didn't mean this.

I know.

But I can't bear to look at her, L.

Listen to what you're saying.

You've got to deal with this! She's our girl.

And she needs you. She needs her dad.

Do you remember the first time we did an egg hunt for them?

-L, honestly...

-Every time Nancy put one in her basket, another one'd fall out!

Poor little thing. Think Lee ended up with most of them.

And at the end, you took half of them off him

and put them back in her basket when she weren't looking.

Cos that's you, Mick.

Not this.

That's what you do.

We should go and join in.

Take Ollie.

He's only been out the hospital five minutes.

Bit of fresh air won't do him any harm.

You know it's all right to be scared.

I'm not.

And you say I'm the one who's not dealing with this?

-What you doing?

-I'm going out. And I'm taking Ollie with me.

-Where?

-What does it matter?

What are you drinking?

Nothing.

Janet wants you to push her on the swings.

Yeah, yeah, in a minute.

When are we going to the egg hunt?

Yeah, in a minute.

Janet!

Where's she gone?

Come on, let's go and look for her.

Janet!

-Got it.

-Way-hey!

Is it starting yet?

-Is it starting yet?

-Patience! Very soon.

You're beautiful, aren't you? Eh?

My beautiful boy.

Over there, there's a tree.

And that was for another beautiful boy.

His name was Zaair.

He would have been your big brother.

The two of you...

..running around here,

in and out the gates.

HE SIGHS

It's all a bit of a mess, ain't it, this?

Eh?

But none of it's your fault.

Don't ever think that any of this is your fault.

And we're all here for you.

OK?

We're all going to be here for you.

You two all right?

Yeah, just having a little chat.

I was just about to talk about who he was named after.

My dad. Yeah, he knows.

Martin, we can make this work.

Two dads are better than one.

Yeah.

Come on, mate.

-Well, I think Mrs McKenna can rest with dignity.

-Yeah.

Will?

Bill, it ain't how it looks...

Ain't how what looks? Where's your sister?

She ran off.

-What?!

-Ain't she here?

-How could you lose her?!

I didn't lose her. Billy, I didn't lose her.

You've been drinking.

She just ran off, she ran off.

Will, stay with Uncle Les.

Just hand it in at the bar and it's two for one on drinks, all right?

Yeeeeah!

For Pearl, right?

Yeah, she weren't feeling it,

so I've got to do the hunt on her behalf, innit?

Oh, look, there's another one!

And how many Easter eggs does a one-year-old baby need, anyway?

I gotta take my finder's fee.

So you must be JJ.

It's lovely to finally meet you.

-This is your Auntie Carmel, JJ. Say hello.

-Hello.

Hello!

He's going to be a little heartbreaker when he's older.

How's it all going?

Getting there.

Yeah!

The girls look like they're having a good time.

He's looking a bit tired. Think we're going to call it a day.

We've only just got here.

Everybody having fun?

How are you?

Yeah, I'm fine, mostly.

It's nice to see you, ain't it, Martin?

Oh, is that your ring? May I see?

It's gorgeous. You set a date?

-Not yet.

-I'm still getting used to being engaged.

Sure you are.

Look, I...just want to say thank you, for this,

-for letting Kush in.

-Mum...

It's not everyone who'd be so, well, grown-up about it all.

And it's what's best for Arthur that matters.

Yeah. He's a lucky boy.

He is gorgeous!

Mum, Martin was just saying he looks tired.

You're not too tired for a cuddle with your Nanny, are you?

CARMEL COOS AND GIGGLES

-Hon, is Janet with you?

-What do you mean?

-Where's Will?

-He's fine. He's with Les.

We had an emergency at the Cokers'.

I had to leave the kids with Phil.

-And?

-Look, come on! She can't have got far.

I'll kill him!

Sorry, one sec.

I don't finish till two!

Says here you can work out its IQ before it's even born!

Remember what I said - my brains, your looks...

-Great!

-You must be due your scan soon?

Abi? Service, please.

We can get one of those photos done!

I've got to go.

I can't believe Kim!

She had Easter eggs spilling out of her pockets!

Maybe we should change the rules next year.

You lot are full of the joys.

Not bad for a lunchtime crowd, is it?

Nancy said it'd work.

It's amazing what a pair of bunny ears can do.

Imagine if we'd all made an effort.

I thought you and Mum would've come over.

-She's had to pop out for a bit.

-So you could've come.

Well, someone's gotta hold the fort

while you lot are out there having fun, ain't they?

-Did she, um, did she take Ollie?

-Yeah.

-Are you sure that's a good idea?

-You're an expert now, yeah?

You know you ain't the only one worried about him, don't you?

Dad, I've told you I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do.

Yes, mate, what can I get you?

Nance!

-Anyone seen Janet?

-Has anyone seen our little girl?

-What's the matter?

-Please, if anyone sees her, just call.

-Yeah, of course.

-Should I go and have a look?

Yeah, all right. Look after this geezer, babe.

What am I going to do?

-Take those out.

-He wants a scan and if he doesn't want a scan,

then he'll want something else

and then he'll find out that I've been lying.

And then he'll leave me!

He's only with me cos he thinks that I'm pregnant!

I love him so much.

FAINT CLATTER

Hello!

-You enjoying that?

-Yeah.

-Do your mummy and daddy know you're here?

-Yeah.

-I think we should go and find them, don't you?

-Yeah.

Come on, then. Off we pop. Go this way.

Look who I found, munching a chocolate egg in the barrel store.

Janet! Everyone's been worried sick!

They are going to love you.

Got to ring your mum and dad and tell them that you're here.

All right?

Do you... Do you fancy the Vic? My shout?

What, cos it's two-for-one?

I just wanted to say thank you for today.

I know this ain't easy.

I can't believe how big he's got.

They do feed him on the unit.

Stacey looks better.

Do you, er... Do you know when their next visit is?

You care about Stacey now, then, do you?

Mate, I thought you were on board with this.

Firstly, I ain't your mate. Not any more.

-Martin, please...

-And second...

I can't do this,

any of it.

-I've tried, but...

-It'll get better.

Look, I love Arthur, Kush.

And he might not be my son, but...I'm his dad.

And the three of us, playing happy families?

That ain't happening.

-Who's that, then?

-You.

-Me? Is it? You've drawn me a picture?

-Yeah.

-HONEY:

-Janet! Janet!

-Who's that?

Where have you been?

Is she OK?

Yeah, she's fine.

-Thank you.

-Not at all.

-Who's that?

-You.

-Oh, it's lovely, darling.

You've had us worried sick. We owe you one, Nance.

Not at all.

Seriously, we appreciate it.

-She can be a right handful at times, can't she?

-Yeah.

-You've got a gift, you have.

-Come back and see Nancy soon, yeah?

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-See you later. Take care, bye-bye.

Come on, then, let's go home. Thanks again.

You've got a real diamond there, Mick.

Dad?

-Come on, Mick!

-Do you know why we did all that today?

Few extra punters, so what?

No. Cos Nance wanted to remind us of when we was kids,

show Ollie how much of a laugh we used to have

-running around all day...

-And what if he don't get that chance?

What if we don't get the chance to do them things with him?

-You can't think like that.

-I can't think of anything else, Mum!

And if that's what happens, then we deal with it...

as a family.

Went well, then?

Family time(!)

Yeah, family time...

-Phil.

-What?

We trusted you!

-Janet!

-Don't come near us.

Take her home, will you? I'll deal with this.

You do not come near my children again.

The girl's all right. She's all right.

You're out the flat, today.

-You running out of sofas?

-Ben.

I feel sorry for you.

Don't even talk to her.

And that...that kid you're carrying.

-SHIRLEY:

-Phil!

Cos his dad's a joke.

I'm the joke?!

BEN CHUCKLES

-And you?

-Get out.

You heard her. Get out.

Finally, Billy, finally.

No-one wants you.

Oh, well.

You want a row? You want a row?

Yeah, go on, you hit your own son. Go on, classy man.

-Go on.

-Come on, then, come on, then.

If Gran could see you now, she'd find it disgusting.

-Come on, then! Come on, then!

-You're scum, you're scum!

Abi!

Ben... Ben... The baby!
