-Johnny!

-All right, son!

Is it true? Eh?

Jack! Jack!

Let go of her. Let go of her!

It wasn't like that!

Lying about the baby.

-Take it outside.

-Tell them the truth, Abi!

-Get out.

-Tell them, Abi.

You're sick. Do you know that?

Sick!

Nothing much changes here.

No. What are you doing here?

Listen, I don't know what she's done...

She lied about our baby dying!

-No, I never meant to.

-You're a liar!

-Listen, let her go!

-Pack it in!

Phil! Ain't Ben had enough for one day, eh?

Now, listen, I'm going to take her home.

Come on.

This ain't finished!

Right, come on. Home. Come on.

-Oh! Did you lot know about this?

-No, not a dickie bird.

Oh, you're so sneaky!

-Are you back for good?

-Just a few days.

-Oh, only a few days?

-Look at your hair!

It's called changing your style. You should try it.

Excuse me, have you been plucking your eyebrows?

-No!

-You liar! Yes, you have.

Yes, you have! He's gone all Italian on us!

-Leave him, Nance.

-Is Gianluca not with you?

What, so I've gone all Italian now and I don't get a hug, yeah?

This is the best surprise! Having my sausage back home.

Watch the eyebrows!

-You did all this for me?

-Yeah.

-You're lovely, you are.

-I love you.

Thanks for being so supportive.

You just focus on your family.

I've already got an idea how to.

See you soon, handsome.

And like I said, you leave me to sort things out with Masood.

How are you going to do that?

You're not the only one he's mad at.

Think it's time we cleared the air.

Trust me,

everything's going to be fine.

-See you later.

-Aw.

See ya.

PHONE VIBRATES

Abi! What's going on?

Ah, Uncle Jack said I could, erm...

He's... He's gone back to the Vic for my clothes.

Why ain't you got them on?

ABI SOBS

Abi? What's happened?

It's, er...

It's...

It's Ben.

I don't understand. What's...?

-Oh, Grandma.

-Oh, Abi.

Look at you!

Drinks! We need drinks!

-You got prosecco?

-What? What happened to beer?

Well, I haven't had a chance to toast my best mate

since she finally got a ring on it!

Er, have you met my fiance?

Once or twice. I mean, dodgy family, but...

You and Nance, you grab that table there.

I'll get everyone a drink. Prosecco, yeah?

# It's raining men, amen... #

Everything all right?

Johnny don't know about...

About what Dean did.

Oh, Linda.

All these weeks.

-Come on, Phil.

-No, she made me think I'd killed my own grandchild!

I thought we was having a family.

I know, mate. I know.

I thought that was our future.

Then she lost it and that...

..that feeling.

That emptiness.

And now, for what?

How can you lie about losing a baby?

Look, try not to wind yourself up, all right?

You have been drinking, ain't you?

How can someone do that?

Oh.

I've got some cold bubbles in here.

Can't believe I'm really back.

Can't give my sausage warm bubbles, can I?

Not when you've come all the way from Italy to see me!

-And you're not upset? About the surprise?

-No!

-I know you hate secrets and...

-Oh, we're going to have so much fun!

I can't wait to hear all your news,

what you've been up to, what you've been doing.

I've thrown you, ain't I?

Having you all here together is just the best.

-Let's go and see Ollie.

-No, let's leave it till the morning.

Best not to disturb him.

So, Lee and Whitney!

-I know!

-Do you remember when she had a thing for you?

-Mum!

-And there was me trying to push you together when you were...

But she's a lovely girl, really lovely.

And Lee's so happy. You can help me find her a dress!

The three of us can go up west, dress shopping. What do you think?

-Do you fancy a bit of dress shopping?

-Yeah, sounds great.

And you can help Lee with his suit cos he never could dress himself.

-I blame his mother.

-Oi!

-And Tam and Nance?

-I know!

They had a little hiccup, but, you know,

everyone has hiccups, don't they?

-We did think she was going to become a Muslim, but...

-Nancy?

I wouldn't have minded! If that was going to make her happy

cos that's all I've ever wanted. Just for my kids to be happy.

I've missed you.

Me too.

Why don't you take this through and I'll fetch the glasses?

Yeah. Sure.

And I can't wait to hear what's been going on with you.

You're going to have to wait a little bit longer.

Aye-aye. Booty call?

I need to talk to Masood.

Yeah? Well, it don't look like he wants to speak to you.

I, I need to...

Oh, come on. Forget Masood.

Yeah? Come on, let's go to the Vic.

If this ends up like launderette night chaos...

I'll give you chaos.

-He's not a kid any more.

-He's my little boy.

You haven't done anything wrong.

I don't want him looking at me the way Nancy and Lee did.

I just... I just want to protect him.

I'm his mum.

We can't keep quiet about this.

You cannot keep Johnny in the dark.

He's only here a few days and then he's...

In the dark about what?

You don't have to pretend, Mum.

Let's get them drinks.

I know things here ain't good.

What things?

I want to see Ollie.

Ollie? He's probably asleep. Tina's baby-sitting.

I ain't a kid, Mum.

Dad told me what happened.

That's why I came back.

OK.

-I mean, it ain't like you really wanted a baby anyway, is it?

-Jay!

You know, I mean, you've already got a daughter

and you don't ever have anything to do with her.

-This is hardly the time, is it?

-Look, I'm just saying.

I get that you're upset right now.

How could she?

She said she loved me.

How can she...?

I know, love. I know.

I'll get you some water, all right?

Come on, love.

Let it out.

Phil's gone.

I mean, it's barmy.

Stringing the boy along,

and others, letting him think that you was pregnant with his baby.

What did you want to do that for, Abi?

I thought he was going to leave me.

Well, that ain't the way to keep him.

I mean, when he found out, he'd only resent you.

How did he find out?

I told him.

Oh, you confessed, did you?

Oh, dear, that's why you was wandering around

in your undergarments.

GATE CRASHES

No, leave it.

No, no, it'll only be Jack...

Here you are, with your clothes. You put this on, cover yourself up.

He'll have forgotten his key,

he's always doing that.

-Oh, it's you. PHIL:

-Where is she?

Oh, look, you can't come barging in my house.

Do you know what she did? Eh?

I can explain.

She's only a young girl.

And she ain't even dressed yet.

It's all right, Grandma.

You're coming with me.

Surprise!

Johnny!

-When did you get back?

-Just now.

Oh, look, come and say hello to your little brother.

Hello, handsome.

He remembers you!

Do you reckon? It was ages ago!

That was the honeymoon, wasn't it?

I know, he looks pleased to see him, though, don't he?

Can you blame him? Come on.

-Oh, be careful with him...

-I've got him, Mum, I've got him.

Oh, look how big you are!

Do you reckon he seems the same - like, how he reacts and that?

It's going to take time, isn't it?

To know if anything's more permanent.

And whatever the doctors say,

we're going to love you like we've always done, eh?

Now, get in.

I know you're angry, but...

Just shut up, all right?

Compared to how you've treated him...

I said, "Shut up," all right?

I wanted to tell him.

Yeah, but you didn't, though, did you? Eh?

No, but I thought he was going to leave me.

-Now, you're not putting this on him.

-I was scared and...

I told you, you're not putting this on him, all right?

You're just like your old man, you are, ain't you?

You think you can lie your way out of anything.

Well, you ain't lying your way out of this. Now, get in.

-No, not until you...

-I said, "Get in!"

# Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to... #

Hey, about time!

I can't believe how big he is!

Yeah, we put him in a grow-bag.

Johnny!

-Grandma?

-Yeah.

Oh, he didn't just call her that.

-Grandad.

-Hello, son.

Ah, this is weird, isn't it?

Yeah, but don't think I'm going to start knitting you jumpers.

So, how's Gianluca? What's happening with...?

-So, you know, I've got a new job.

-That's great.

-Nice little local bar.

-Strip club?

-No!

Any time someone mentions his name, he changes the subject.

And I'm still doing my intern thing at that law firm.

Going away suits you.

Doesn't it?

# Finally facing my Waterloo... #

I promised Stacey.

She deserves this.

I just want to have a laugh.

What are you drinking?

I'm not.

Oh, I am. Anything with ice.

I've...been at Stacey's.

Leave it, yeah?

-Are you hungry?

-We've got some pies.

He only eats pizza now, babe.

-IN FAUX ITALIAN ACCENT:

-And spaghetti for breakfast!

THEY LAUGH

-Beautiful.

-APPLAUSE

You must be tired.

I'm fine, Mum.

I just want to hear all your news.

Where's Dean? How's the salon?

Why don't you give your mum a song?

Have I put my foot in it?

It hasn't folded, has it?

Please, please, sing something for me.

Pointless, this is.

It's pointless, cos I keep telling you, he'll be at the Arches.

TYRES SCREECH

Phil!

Phil!

No, you can't.

-No, she'd kill you!

-I'm not going to! I...

Why don't you just tell him?

Can we, please...?

Look, just for one night.

He's going to hear it from someone.

Look at his little face.

You know, it's better if it comes from you.

I just... I don't want to go over it all again.

I know, I know.

You saw him upstairs with Ollie, he was as good as gold.

He'll get it, he loves you.

I can't. I can't.

You have to tell him.

For your sake, not just his.

What if I lose my little boy?

Our little boy's all grown up now, L.

-You've made your point.

-Just get out of the way.

Or what - you're going to knock me over, are you?

-Please, Dad!

-Don't take it out on Jay!

Listen, she's been laughing at all of us!

Lying about losing a kid.

-Yeah, and what do you think made her do that?

-He won't listen to me!

-Just get back in the car, you!

-Leave her!

-Ben, tell him.

-She deserves it.

-Oh, yeah.

Cos you ain't done nothing wrong in all this, have you?

You dragged her out in the middle of the pub in front of everyone.

And you! You got in a digger and nearly killed your own daughter.

Both of you have made mistakes.

He was only with her to please you

because he was scared of what you might think!

Enough people have got hurt.

This stops. Now.

Now, I'm going to take Abi to Dot's.

Make sure you get him home.

Just leave it, will you?

You want an apology.

I apologise.

Oh, you're embarrassing yourself.

-What's she done?

-Nothing.

That's not true.

If you want to keep punishing me, go ahead -

but that poor girl has suffered enough!

Stacey's feelings are not my problem.

-Dad, come on.

-No, she's the one that started this.

You're the one making it all about you, though.

Look, I'm sorry. OK?

OK, you've said your piece now.

I'm sorry my son got someone else pregnant.

-That's enough.

-I'm sorry that I knew and I didn't tell you.

Carmel...

Maybe if I had said something...

Oh, and I wanted to,

I wanted to shout it from the rooftops!

This was my first grandchild,

and after everything we all lost last year...

But I didn't.

I stayed quiet to try and keep them together.

For the sake of your daughter!

Right, clearly, you're having murders.

I don't want it in here, so can you take it outside, please?

APPLAUSE

Right, OK, this one's for my beautiful, amazing mum.

# On our block

# All of the guys

# Call her Flamingo

# Cos her hair glows like the sun

# And her eyes can light the skies

# When she walks, she moves so... #

MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY

-JEERING AND CLAMOUR

-I'm sorry, boy, I'm sorry.

I just need a word with the boy.

We'll be five minutes, you crack on.

You've been a long time.

I'm sorry, I was just making sure Ronnie was all right.

-Look, Abi ain't back yet.

-Abi?

Yes, Phil came round and she said she'd be all right.

I tried to phone you.

Oh! Oh, there you are!

I was about to call the police.

-What did he do to you?

-It's OK, it's all sorted.

I was worried sick.

Look, Jack, just keep her indoors, all right?

Thank you.

Yeah, well, I knew it'd all end badly.

Mum?

Mum?

Johnny, Johnny...

What is it?

Just give her a moment.

What aren't you telling me?!

I was just a bit emotional.

-Seeing you back again, singing, it was lovely.

-L...

I'll be downstairs, all right?

Come on, Dad.

-Where do you keep it hidden?

-Ben, can you say something?

-Just tell me, where is it?

-Phil...

-Where?

Just give him one, I don't care.

Yes!

Give it to me.

Please, Dad.

You've all been waiting, haven't you?

You've all been waiting for me to fall off the wagon.

-No! You've been doing really well!

-Oh, have I?

-Yes.

You've stuck to your ration, you've gone to your first meeting...

-Jay, I need a drink! All right?

-You're better than this.

-I need a drink!

-Right, listen to me.

Abi's gone, right?

We're all here. We're right behind you.

Yeah, waiting to push me off.

No!

Ain't Ben had enough for one day? Eh?

This is about you and Dad.

-No!

-Something's gone on.

Course nothing's gone on.

-Has he been seeing someone else?

-Johnny!

That was YOUR song.

I was singing YOUR song.

-And I said it was lovely.

-That's why you nearly threw up?

You know what I'm like, I just get emotional.

So, you and Dad, you're OK?

More than OK.

I don't know what I'd do if something happened between you.

Nothing's ever going to happen between me and your dad.

I was just being silly.

Johnny?

I just want what you've got.

Me and Gianluca...

we've split up.

Oh, baby.

I can't believe it came out that way.

Oh, he's just a lonely old man.

I mean, ever since Zainab went back to...

No.

No.

I know you promised Stacey, but...

One last try.

I loved him so much.

I know you did.

Moving out there,

I barely knew him, but everything was so exciting, so new.

Things seemed so good when we came over.

Well, you hide things, don't you?

I guess, in the end,

we just wanted different things.

Well, he did.

Oh, baby.

He moved out a couple of weeks ago.

-Back to his ex.

-Oh...

His mum wanted me to stay, so...

Someone else's mum ain't the same.

I knew this would happen.

Some nasty man would go and break your heart.

-Please!

-I didn't stand in your way,

I thought, "Let him be gay, let him go."

You still can't accept it, can you?

You'd still rather I was single, living here with you...

No!

You're my boy.

Seeing someone hurt you - anyone, man or woman,

it don't matter to me, Johnny. Really, it don't.

I just want you to be happy.

All of you, to be happy.

I just want what you said.

For you...

For you all to have what I've got with your dad.

I love you so much.

When...

I told you...

I was gay...

it was because I wanted you to know me.

All of me.

Everything.

I shouldn't have said some of the things I did.

I knew you'd come round in the end.

I knew you'd still love me, because...

..whatever happens...

..however bad...

..I know I can tell you...

and you'll still be there.

What was all that about?

Downstairs?

What aren't you telling me?

You got any fizzy drinks?

Sorry.

Not here.

Let's go for a walk.

You can't just...

This is stupid.

This is stupid.

Can't we just make up?

We've lost enough, haven't we?

I don't want to lose you too.

You lied to me.

How many more times do you want me to say I'm sorry?

I miss you, Masood...

as a friend.

We had some really good times.

As a friend?

-Yes, as a friend.

-Oh!

Don't flatter yourself.

Oh, that'd be flattering myself, would it?

Do you really think that's what I came here for?

You still want me, don't you?

I came here to apologise.

Yeah, well, you're barking up the wrong tree.

You're too old for me, Carmel!

This was never about you and me!

Shabnam got her chance to start over,

let Stacey get hers too.

DOOR SLAMS

SHE SOBS

Oi, Denise!

Denise, I know you're in there!

Oi!

Ain't you heard of ringing doorbells?

Put your heels back on.

We're going to do that karaoke.

I mean, it ain't much of a van, but it is a van.

Well, a van's a van, ain't it?

Yeah, yeah, a van is a van.

You all right, Stace?

I had a missed call from Kat,

but she's been engaged for the last hour.

She'd have left a message, wouldn't she, if it was important?

I bet it's Belinda bending her ear cos I called her out of the blue.

I've booked a table at the Vic for lunch tomorrow.

You have to book the Vic?

Yeah, Belinda's coming, Mum, Ollie...

Why?

Well, I wanted to make it up to them for ruining Uncle Charlie's wake.

I think they get it, Stace.

Ain't it all a bit soon?

No, I need to do this.

All of us together.

Let's sit down.

So..

I know.

It's over now, isn't it?

All of it.

You know me and Ronnie lost a baby.

-I know, and...

-You don't lie about things like that, Abi.

I mean, that's the sort of thing Kirsty did to your dad.

You know, I don't even recognise you any more.

So, you can stay tonight...

-Please, I've...

-..then first thing in the morning,

I'm taking you to your mum's.

I mean it, Abi.

This place is messing you up.

Today, you were brilliant.

Well, he's my brother, ain't he, eh?

What are you doing?

Nothing, I just thought...

Louise, you're a child.

You're 14!

Get out of my way.

What was all that about?

Look, I meant what I said.

All this is because you won't accept who you are.

-Don't.

-It's because you won't accept who you really want to be.

Look at my dad,

the state of him.

I can't just...

-I can't just...

-You're gay!

Right? You are gay!

And nothing's going to get better

until you be proud of that and come out,

right?
