0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Oh, it walks.- Morning.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And it talks. Just.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Have a good day pushing your drugs.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And you, pushing your pen. Shouldn't you have left already?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Whole-college staff meeting. Or something.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Yeah. Or something. Here you are. Lunch money.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45I'm OK.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Go on. I'm on a new patch today and I need to nail my targets.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50You'll bring me luck.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Good luck to them. They have no idea what they're in for.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55PHONE RINGS Dominic?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- SHE GROANS - It's my new boss.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58The twitchiest yet.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I need another coffee before I can face talking to him.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Right, I'll see you later.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- I might even cook a proper dinner if I get home early.- Lasagne?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Not that early! Shower?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45That's...very attention grabbing.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Why, thank you.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It is important that our patients see what kind of service
0:01:50 > 0:01:52we are providing. Allow me.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04I also have some promotional pencils. And badges.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I thought that the doctors might... Well...
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Seriously?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Now, who's covering reception today?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Miss Pitman and Mrs Hollins are on leave.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18But there is no need to worry.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I have an experienced receptionist starting.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Just so that I can stay on reception and deal with the library.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Also, Dr Carter has offered to volunteer if I need any help.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I would be delighted.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And I am going to spread the word.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Books and babies - perfect match.- Dr Carter?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh, certainly, it's for a good cause.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Ah, at last, Miss Otterson.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Morning.- Morning. I really did think that you...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Well, anyway. Come with me.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I will show you exactly where you need to put your coat.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Where is Dr Carter?
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Follow me. Come, come.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Hello, it's Faye, isn't it? How are you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Fine, thanks, Mrs Keywood.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, don't "Mrs" me. Only my dentist does that.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It's Erin. Here to see Connor?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Yes, here to discuss some course work.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Oh, right. OK.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Go on in, he's just reanimating himself.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22See you later. Have fun.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Just show me one more time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32This spreadsheet lists all of the books.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Then here it is divided into fiction and non-fiction.- Uh-huh.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41And over here, it's in alphabetical order.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It is a very, very simple system.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Excuse me.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Can I help you?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Alan Kent.- Thank you, Mr Kent.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53If you would like to take a seat.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Can I interest you in one of our...?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Good morning, Erin Keywood to see Mrs Tembe.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I am Mrs Tembe.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Oh, Erin Keywood. PharmaFare. Ready to revolutionise your budget.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I spoke to your receptionist last week,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10said she'd put me in your diary for Monday morning.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- She was really helpful. - One moment, please.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I am so sorry, nothing has been noted.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I'm sorry that you have had a wasted journey.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well, since I'm here...
0:04:21 > 0:04:23No, it is out of the question.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25We have a library launch today.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26So I see!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Your promotional material is spot-on.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31And what a brilliant initiative.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You could really be on to something here!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well... Thank you. Perhaps we could rearrange.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39You clearly have tremendous vision as a practice manager.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Am I right?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Yeah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44She does indeed.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Just a few minutes?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49- Well...- I'll be fine.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Good, please come through.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04What I love is how the books make The Mill warmer,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06much more patient-friendly.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It will take a while for the patients to adjust.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10This is only day one.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Slowburn sustainable success, that's the Holy Grail.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17If you build it, they will come.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Yes. If you build it, they will come.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Listen to me, Mrs Tembe! I'm so inspired by your library
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I've forgotten the real reason I'm here. So...
0:05:28 > 0:05:32we can beat the price you're paying for your topical eczema range.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Especially if you make a high volume order.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Ms Keywood?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Sorry.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Have a look at this table of potential discounts.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53I can't seem to...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Just take it, Mrs Fyne. Enjoy the read...
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Faye Murrell. I have an appointment with the midwife.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Hello, Faye. Connor. Do you want to come on through.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13"Scotsman In Love."
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'll e-mail you a summary of what we've discussed later.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Right. Thank you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I might take a look at your library, if that's OK?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Please. Please, help yourself.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Look at this. It is all sticky.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Please go through.- Thank you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Mrs Tembe. The library system has crashed.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41What?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Oh, no.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Do try the ginger tea, lots of people find it really helpful.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51If there are any other questions, just give me call.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53OK, so I'll see you both soon.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Media studies going well?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- Mrs Keywood!- Mum!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I didn't expect to see you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- So what are you both doing here? - None of your business.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Come on, Faye. - Lying's not cool, Connor.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Not in our family.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Why would you lie to me? - Not here, Mum. Everybody's looking.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16You must have a really good reason, the two of you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Can we go?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- What have you got there Faye? - Leave her alone!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Everything OK, Faye? Connor?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24This is my mum.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Can someone please tell me what's going on here?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Soraya, I'll see you in a minute, OK. Sorry.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Shall we just go back inside?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Wait! Where are you going?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35We're late for college.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- College? Now? - And you're upsetting Faye.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43I'll back off, I promise. But don't go! Connor!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48KNOCK ON DOOR
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Come in!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Thanks for this. I know you're short-staffed.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56How's the library?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57It has only been one day.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm a little worried what Dr Granger is going to say
0:08:00 > 0:08:02at the partners' meeting.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah, right. That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You are the only partner who has championed the library, Dr Clay.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I just wasn't as against it as everyone else, was I?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I sincerely appreciate your continued support.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I've been doing some thinking lately.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19About the meaning of life.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- The spiritual meaning.- Oh, well...
0:08:22 > 0:08:23That is wonderful.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Something's come up. So I need to get out.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Really?- I was wondering if you could put it on agenda?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Sorry to interrupt, but a crate of books has just been delivered.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37When I say delivered, more like dumped.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Thank you, Dr Carter.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Spiritual matters are of the utmost importance.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Of course we will find a way to fulfil your request.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's not really a request.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Come on, you're a midwife.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03This is an ante-natal clinic. He's obviously got her pregnant!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You know that I can't talk about my patients.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10She can't be planning to keep it. They're barely 16!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- It'll ruin Connor's life! - Don't jump to conclusions.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Please talk to Connor first.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I always have talked to my boys!
0:09:18 > 0:09:22About responsibility, about education. Safe sex.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23To both of them!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Where have I gone wrong?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's tough being a parent to teenagers.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The goalposts - they keep moving, don't they?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Don't take any chances!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38I've drummed it into him for years, I've even supplied the condoms!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I'm a medical rep. Nothing embarrasses me.- That's good.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So you can talk to him.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's a bit late for talking now, isn't it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Look, I'm sorry, Mrs Keywood, but I really need to...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55How could he be so stupid?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And why wouldn't he come to me?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01We're so close!
0:10:03 > 0:10:04You know where I am.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06OK.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Thanks.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yes, Dominic. I'm sorry, I got held up.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'll reschedule the appointment, obviously.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Yes, yes, of course. Speak soon.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Mrs Otterson?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I'm so sorry, someone will be with you shortly.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Take a badge.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Mrs Otterson.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Oh, no.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01HE CLEARS THROAT
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Good morning, Dr Granger! Welcome back.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Thank you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15LOUD BANG
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Why didn't you call me back? I've left you loads of messages!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31This is the first minute I've had between meetings.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34We've got to talk about this.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38You mean you've got to talk at me. About whatever you think "this" is?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43I know I lost it. But we don't have secrets, you and me!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Don't talk in that weird way. You're freaking me out.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And yeah, Faye is pregnant. You happy now?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I want to help!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You made a great start at The Mill. Straight in with both feet.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Why couldn't you just wait? - Because there's no time to wait!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02How far along is Faye? How many weeks?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Can't help yourself, can you?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Just so I know what we're dealing with.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- What any options might be.- Options?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09You mean, can she still get rid of it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Because that's all you care about.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Ms Keywood, I've just received your e-mail.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I have not had time to read it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Erin?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I didn't know...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Can I talk to you?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Yeah, of course you can. Come on in.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44It's OK, Mrs Tembe.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51He left without a word.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I came home one day and the wardrobe was empty. Car was gone.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Will was six and Connor was four.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And it's been just you ever since?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03He'd have only done it again.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08We've been a proper tight little unit, the three of us.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Nothing could touch us.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I wanted my boys to be different!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Connor's been there for Faye, he's really supported her.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Not many kids have that maturity, Erin.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I really thought I got the balance right.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Enjoy themselves, but do it safely.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Sensibly.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34How wrong can you be?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Why do you think Connor isn't keen to talk?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42He feels guilty.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Knows he's made a mess of things.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I even gave him condoms, for goodness' sake!
0:13:46 > 0:13:50There's more to this than condoms! Think, Erin.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53He won't even tell me how many weeks gone Faye is.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54You know that I can't.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Is that why you're here?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57No, no.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00You were so nice earlier.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Don't let fear run away with you, Erin.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I can't stress that enough.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12You're right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15We'll get through this.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It's not the end of the world, right?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Talk to him, listen. Really listen to him.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22But he won't talk to me.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Then try again. Try something different.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28You need to know the facts before you start making any assumptions.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29All the facts.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The library has only been operational for a few hours.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Quite long enough to prove
0:14:36 > 0:14:39its incompatibility with medical services.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Not to mention health and safety.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I did see a large box in reception when I came in.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- A patient could have fallen over it. - Trip hazard!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I have organised for the safe removal of the box
0:14:49 > 0:14:50as soon as possible.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Still, it's all a bit of a mess.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54We agreed to give the library a chance.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Who is this "we"?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Two out of the three partners weren't even consulted.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Two out of the three partners weren't even here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Oh, Jimmi! Don't try to pretend you're anything but lukewarm.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- The wellbeing of reading have always been documented.- Daniel?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15You came! Thank you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Can I get you anything?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm fine, thanks, Mrs Keywood.
0:15:20 > 0:15:26I thought we could discuss this situation in a calm, grown-up way.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Woman to woman.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Thanks.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32You don't need to worry. About Connor.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- That's what I came to... - Leave Connor to me.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- But, Mrs Keywood...- You're protecting him and that's sweet.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- But I'm his mum. - It's got nothing to do with you!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Faye! - I had to see it to believe it!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Faye told me you'd contacted her behind my back.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48"Not my mum," I thought. "She's way too cool to pull a stunt like that."
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Actually, I'm glad you're here. Sit down.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Do you want a drink?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I know you mean well, Mum, but you're way off here.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I'm here to listen. And to help. Both of you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- You're not helping.- I'm your mum.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05If I think you're making a massive mistake, I'll do whatever it takes.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Look, Mum. No. Stop. I mean it, yeah?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10You've both got to stop running away and face facts!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13You're not serious about each other.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I didn't even realise you were boyfriend and girlfriend!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We're not.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- I'm really sorry, Mrs Keywood... - Stop apologising, Faye!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And wake up.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Before you throw your whole life away for a casual bit of fun!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26See what I mean?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Someone has to start telling the truth round here!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33SHE SIGHS
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Let's go and sit back down. Please?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Go talk to your mum.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Faye, I'm sorry.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52I've been selfish, I'm just thinking about me and my family.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Got that right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Come on, Connor. It's what a good mum does.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01It's a habit I've got, if I feel my boys are threatened then...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04But you're not a threat.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06You're a scared girl whose whole world has been turned upside down.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I understand that feeling, Faye.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- I'm sorry I've been such a nightmare.- Mum...
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Give me another chance? I promise I'll behave.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29MRS TEMBE: I will not deny that there have been
0:17:29 > 0:17:31some teething troubles.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Reception's been short staffed. That hasn't helped.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35No-one can say you haven't tried, Mrs Tembe.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's an idea that just hasn't worked out.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It has just been a day!
0:17:40 > 0:17:45We will learn from our mistakes as we take the project forward.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Mistakes must not be at the expense of patient safety.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Please, give the library time.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Time is not the issue. There is no benefit to patients.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57That is not what is suggested from client feedback.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Feedback?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01"Nice to see The Mill trying something new."
0:18:01 > 0:18:03"Reading really is the best medicine."
0:18:03 > 0:18:09"I live alone and it will be lovely to have a book to keep me company."
0:18:09 > 0:18:12A few of my patients mentioned it, they're in favour.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Balloons and badges? Is this really what we should be doing? Daniel?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19A trial should be just that. Certainly more than half a day.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22We need to move on. Daniel?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Based on what I've seen and heard today, I think that...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30..the library should continue. On a trial basis.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34As long as it doesn't interfere with the main business of the practice.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Thank you. Thank you, very much, Dr Granger!
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Now, what's next?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44So what about your family, Faye?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45I can't talk to them.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Not like you and Connor talk. - But surely they would want to...
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Faye's family are devout Catholics.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54They'd only see one possible outcome.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- So you are still considering other possible outcomes?- Mum!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02There's a lot to think about. I want to be sure.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Connor's been so great.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09So he should be! He's as responsible for this as you, Faye.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Maybe more so.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15You might not have had information and support about sex,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17but Connor certainly did!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Connor's not the father.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- What?- You heard her.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26It's not your baby?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Mum!
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Who...?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34No-one. No-one that matters.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Right.- It was at a party... - Faye, you don't need to...- No.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I want you to know how much Connor's done for me.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I don't know what I would have done without him.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46He's always been there when I need to talk.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48He's come to every clinic with me.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50But you're not the father?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Connor's my friend, Mrs Keywood! We're friends.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Friends?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02So you've never...?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- I don't get it. Why didn't you say? - Why didn't you just ask?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13You just assumed me and Faye were at it like rabbits!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Come on. You're a teenage boy.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20It's all you ever talk about - sex, more sex and then safe sex!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24If there's one thing I know, it's teenage boys.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Do you?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Because it's not just Faye I haven't slept with, Mum.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I haven't slept with anyone!
0:20:36 > 0:20:39PHONE RINGS
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Go on. Go.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You're a partner now, with responsibilities.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54You can't just go swanning off at the drop of a hat.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56A spiritual crisis is not swanning off.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But tomorrow. It's really short notice.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02These things do not follow a diary, Dr Granger.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I'm sorry. I know it's really short notice.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And I am sorry, but this thing has come up
0:21:07 > 0:21:10and it's something I have to do. Sorry. But I really want to do this.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17We all know what it's like to be up against it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Feeling overwhelmed, searching for a different way to live.- Oh, please.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Haven't we both had personal crises?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Taken time off work short notice?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Certain things are bigger than work.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29That's it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Jimmi's been as generous and giving as he can.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I think as a practice - and personally - we owe him.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38If only it was that simple.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40We don't have to make it so complicated.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Right, I vote we give Jimmi leave of absence.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Starting tomorrow. We'll make it work somehow.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I will sort out the rota. I am sure Dr Vere will step up.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52OK. What's made you so touchy-feely all of a sudden?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Because I assumed you'd be on my side.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Maybe that's your mistake.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- I'll see you in a couple of weeks.- See you soon.- OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Can't keep away.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I wanted to let you know you're off the hook.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I know now.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16All the facts.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Come on.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Come in.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35That poor girl. She must be going through hell.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I've messed up today. There must be something I can do.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Being there, that's enough. If Faye wants to talk...
0:22:46 > 0:22:51She's stronger than she looks. Take the lead from her. And Connor.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Oh, Connor...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I panicked in the cafe.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I had no idea what to do. I pretty much ran away.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03He's a great kid.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09He's incredible, isn't he? No, thanks to me.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- I never listen and all I do is talk about sex.- Give yourself a break.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- You did the right thing, you talked openly about physical stuff.- But?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Go on, I can feel a but coming.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24RUHMA CHUCKLES
0:23:24 > 0:23:29But there is more to love, and relationships, than sex.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Yeah.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37There's disappointment, betrayal, and don't forget the pain.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I get the feeling that maybe you haven't had the best of times.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48But it affects the way that you see love, and the way you talk about it.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You could have a point.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Big emotions are scary at the best of times. At any age.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57But love...
0:23:59 > 0:24:00..love can be wonderful, too.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04SHE SIGHS
0:24:04 > 0:24:08That's what Connor needs me to talk to him about, isn't it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Not just condoms.- Mm-hmm.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14That's a big ask.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19That makes the sex stuff look like a walk in the park.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23You're his mum, and you're pretty cool.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24I'm sure you'll find a way.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38What did you used to do with them?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I gave them out at college. Sorry. I should have said.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43No, it was me.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I should have known you weren't...ready.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50How's Faye?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Fine as she can be. I dropped her back.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57You know she's welcome here any time.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58I'll call her later.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I'll chuck those condoms.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03No way!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05You've kept my mates out of trouble for years.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Practically a public service.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I was really proud of you today, Connor.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I should say things like that more often.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18You're OK, Mum.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27I realise that there's things I need to tell you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28And...
0:25:30 > 0:25:33And I've made lasagne.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Lasagne? Now you're talking.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Library go well this afternoon?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52The system could do with a little refining.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Well, you've got time.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57And you're dealing with the trip hazard. So...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I am going to miss you, Dr Clay.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04But I know you are at the beginning of a wonderful adventure.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07To Thailand anyway.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Thailand? Such a beautiful place.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14It is the perfect setting to get to know God.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yeah, I've been meaning to say.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21It's...
0:26:21 > 0:26:22It's not a Christian retreat.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It's a spiritual retreat.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Spiritual doesn't always have to mean Christian, does it?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I'm sorry. I do not understand.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34It's Buddhist.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I've been meaning to say. It's the library.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I started reading one of books and something just clicked.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46I see.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Well...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Good luck, Dr Clay.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Sorry, I really need to get on. - Yeah, I...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07SHE GASPS
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You're the last person I'd take advice from
0:27:13 > 0:27:15about being considerate to other people's children.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17We'll have to do your spellings tonight
0:27:17 > 0:27:19and it means you can't go to Beavers.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Do you understand?- No!
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Joe!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You can't ignore your body, Mrs Tembe. Please just ring your doctor.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28At no point have I asked you for your opinion!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30So please just back off.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Hmm. It sounds pretty Buddhist to me.
