0:00:50 > 0:00:53Is a godparent an actual God?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Well, they're like family. They promise to look after the baby.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- You know, the vicar asks questions and...- What like?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Do you renounce the devil?
0:01:02 > 0:01:03What did you say?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh, nothing. Talking to myself.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Tuck yourself in.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Here we go. Let's put you up there, shall we?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Let's put you up there. Yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Yeah, so it says here,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30"Do you renounce the deceit and the corruption of evil?"
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You make me sound like a soldier of God.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Do I get a sword as well?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36How come you get to be godparent and not me?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Don't mess around, Jay.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Of all the babies out there, Lexi needs godparents more than most.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53(Oh, no.)
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Blimey, girl...
0:01:59 > 0:02:01you look beautiful.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Who'd have thought it, eh?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Your little baby being christened in a church?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08It's almost too good to be true, innit?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- What's all this about?- I dunno. Just with the godparent stuff...
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Well, we're just going to have to trust him, ain't we?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, I got that for Lexi.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22"Lexi Pearce."
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Yes, yes!
0:02:24 > 0:02:25'That is lovely...'
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Don't he look handsome? All he needs now is a tie.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38- Jack?- Oh, in the top drawer.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46You know you've been a bit off since yesterday.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Thinking about Derek?- No.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52No, I'm thinking about my missus going to her ex's granddaughter's christening for no reason.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- I was invited.- Don't mean you gotta go, though, does it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56No, Jack, it means you don't have to go.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Oh, no, I'll be there, don't you worry about that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00This one!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Christmas is over, cheeky.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Come on, we've got to get to Saint Cuthbert's in an hour.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Right.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28RETCHING
0:03:28 > 0:03:30She must have had the cherryade.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Really? That's weird,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35cos cherryade doesn't really tend to do this to people.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- What did you do?- Nothing!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41The cherries, they can ferment and...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- OK, I put some vodka in it. - So, you poisoned her?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46That is deliberately inflammatory! She'll be fine.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47You OK in there?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Where is Ayesha?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- No clue. Why?- Found this note from Fattyboy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55The Kayanis are bringing Rashid over at midday!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Rashid, as in her future husband?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- You were her future husband five minutes ago! - COUGHING
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Who is in there?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Hey. Happy 2013!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Whatever.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Where you going?
0:04:16 > 0:04:22Alfie has asked us...to move in. What do you reckon?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And you're just going? Just like that.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Bit keen, that's what I reckon.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Where's my month's notice? - I've paid my rent!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Shouldn't there be a...period of readjustment or something?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39You're going to miss us, aren't you?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Don't be ridiculous. - Yeah, you're going to miss us!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45You know, Sharon said she'd never work there again...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and Kat - look what happened to Kat.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51It's weird, that place. Does weird things to people.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Need I mention your dad?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56MICHAEL! What's the matter with you?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06KNOCK ON THE DOOR
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Right, Saint Cuthbert's?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30There, you beauty.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39HE SIGHS
0:06:40 > 0:06:46Well, it's two 2013, and the Mayans were wrong, innit?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48We're all still here, and nobody died.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Apart from Derek.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51That is so inappropriate!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Ah, he can file a complaint. How you doing?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, Go... I'm going to be sick again!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Oh, only guests who pay in full can be sick in this building!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Dee, no more freeloaders, please, yeah? New Year's resolution...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- like eating less fruit, yeah? - Don't you mean more fruit?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Well you aim low, you get results. - Give her a chance.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13She might just get that job at McKlunky's.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Would you want her handing over your chicken bucket supreme?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19No, no, no, ain't no-one going to give her a job there!
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's time she got real -
0:07:20 > 0:07:22and got out!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24SHIRLEY RETCHING
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I have got a lot to do today, you know.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You thought it'd keep me away, eh? Give you a free run at Sharon?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- You're getting paranoid.- Yeah? Well, you said you were going after her!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Yeah, and I meant it. - Yeah, and it ain't working.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41All right, I'm coming to the ceremony.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- It's family only.- Yeah? Well, Sharon ain't your family!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46And you make a play on her and I will tear you apart.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Why? Are you worried she might take me up on it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Oi, the only reason I didn't knock you out yesterday is because of her!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Are you listening to me?! - No, not really...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Cos you don't mess with this stuff!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57All right? You do not mess with James!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oi, what's all the shouting about?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03BABY GURGLING
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- What's the matter with him?- Nothing.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I don't any arguing around my...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Oh...she's already dressed?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Hello.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Aw, look at that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Ain't that the most beautiful sight in the world?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Well, I wanted to dress her.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Well, it's a good job I did it, innit?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- You ain't even ready yet? - I'm getting ready later on. Just keeping this fresh.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, get it on now. We're going to go over the Vic.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Have photos done.- Phil...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37..she looks perfect.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38- We're late.- Right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Do you know what? Mummy has got you a present!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Shall we see what it is?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I got you a little bracelet, look,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52and it's got your name on it. "Lexi Pearce". Look.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56How did she get the alcohol?!
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Tamwar?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Sorry, I've been working out.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Did you do this on purpose? Because you hate me so much?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You know, press ups, squat thrusts...
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- I had no idea she was drinking it. - Just getting trim for the wedding and the...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Can you just shut up for a second? - Zainab, this isn't about me or you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16The question isn't HOW she got the booze, it's WHY she drank it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Maybe because she thought it was cherryade?- She must have known! Hm?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Well? Why would a girl who's come all the way to London to get hitched
0:09:23 > 0:09:26drink herself into oblivion the night before the meeting? Hm?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32My will is next to my bed...
0:09:34 > 0:09:35..you get nothing.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Phil wants us over at the Vic for a photo.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Oh, I'll get my fascinator!- Get me something to cover my ugly mug.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Jokes helping, are they?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I bet you hoped you'd seen the last of that church.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Mmm.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Snap out of it, Jay. It ain't about you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Listen up...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10..Phil's a very clever man - he's got me as godmother,
0:10:10 > 0:10:14he's involved Sharon and now he's roped you in.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Three houses brought together overnight.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Nice, little empire...with him at the centre.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- It's only a christening.- Nah...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30this ain't just a day out, a chance to look dapper.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Phil thinks he's taking control...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36don't be his puppet.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Whatever he tries on...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41you fight for Lexi all her life.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42You understand me?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46We all set?
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Are we, Jay?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Yeah.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54PHONE RINGING
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Shirley! I only answer phones for paying guests!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- It's McKlunky's. - Oh, it'll be the job.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Yeah.- She's in no state to answer!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Well, you do it then.- No, I'm not...
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Look, I need to get my money! Just pretend you're Shirley. Go on.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Happy New Year, Shirley Carter at your service.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21That's SO not Shirley. She'd be like, "I'm busy. Beat it scumbag!"
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Shh!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Really?!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Oh, that's wonderful! Thank you! Thank you!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I'll call in later. Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37She got the job!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Shirley! It's time to pay up!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Kim, that's no way to tell her! Kim!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Here she is! My new flat mate.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Oi! "Flat mate"?!- It's like a term of endearment, OK?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55See, look at this. Arguing already. It's nauseating.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Listen, thanks for helping her over with the bags and that.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Why don't you pop over later, have a beer? Call it a bit of a house warming, eh?- Yeah. Yeah, all right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'll keep your room free.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Funny 11 o'clock this is(!)
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- We're supposed to be doing the photograph in five minutes. - I'm not dressed yet!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Got to get you upstairs.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Jean and Tommy are waiting to show you your new digs!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Oh, I'm sorry, it's just that we're, er...- We're what? What..?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20We're late, that's what we are. Come on, let's go. We're late. Sorry.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Go, go, go.- Kat ain't been gone five minutes!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Got it?- Yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27What have you got in here, eh?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Nervous about your big day, Phil?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Happy New Year, mate!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Cheers. Get over to the fireplace, yeah.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Is that his way of saying Happy New Year?- Oh, at last, we're all here.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Oh, I don't think so, Phil. Where's the christenee?
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Lexi?!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Phil, have you seen Jack?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55He's probably gone to find someone else to have a go at.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57How long does it take Billy to put a suit on?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Pops?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Pops, come on, hurry up!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I don't believe it!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06First my Olympics trainers and now this.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- What's wrong with it? - What's wrong with it? Have a look.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Look, I just pulled it on and that's happened.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- I can't go dressed like this. - You're going to have to.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Just have to put your back against the wall or something. - Phil's going to go mental.- Phil?!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's my baby's christening, and I'm saying it's all right!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Ain't that good enough?- No, darling, I didn't mean it like that.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Actually, maybe I should check with him that I look all right(?)
0:13:26 > 0:13:28We don't want him turning us away at the door, do we?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Here you are. Hurry up.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31All right, all right.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Right, well, those heels have been well and truly been given the old...
0:13:52 > 0:13:53THEY LAUGH
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Are you ready?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Yeah...erm...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Look, can I just say, it's all right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You don't have to, like, erase every sign of your entire life...
0:14:03 > 0:14:05No, no. I know. Of course.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08So just relax. Please. Yeah?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, OK.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Of course, if I find a pair of her old knickers, YOU will get the old...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I don't blame you!
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Give me a sec.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39SHE CHUCKLES
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Right, erm...come on.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Come on, come on.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Oh, no.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Maybe I should have another pass at the living room?
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Don't worry about that, because...your kingdom...awaits.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06After you, madam.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Er...
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Right, well I just keep expecting Kat to jump out on us.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Don't you?- No, no, no, not massively, no.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Anyway, it's well appointed. All mod cons.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29You know, no expense spared.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Alfie, Alfie, I want to move in, OK?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- You don't need to sell it to me. - OK.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37But...
0:15:37 > 0:15:42No, no, there's no "but"s, just maybe a few "what if"s.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44What do you mean, "if"s? I don't...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Look, what if it's too soon?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49What if it's not going to work, Alfie?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Well, you know, Amy's settled in there with Tommy,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54and if they can hack it...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59They're kids, yeah? They don't have emotional baggage, do they?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09What is that?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14OK...all right, let me explain, all right?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Cos, erm, well, we don't have any pictures of me and you...of US,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20and I just want to give you some idea
0:16:20 > 0:16:23that when we do eventually get pictures of us, then, you know,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26that's kind of what we'll look like.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Everywhere. Put pictures of us everywhere. It'll be great.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34You do know that I'm never ever...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36going to wear an A-line skirt, don't you?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I understand.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39But you do know I tend to walk around naked
0:16:39 > 0:16:41with just cowboy boots, all right?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Please, just leave us alone!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Yeah, well, we don't have time,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07cos the Kayanis are going to be here in an hour!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Look, Ayesha, no-one's cross. Just tell us.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Did you know there was alcohol in there?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Ah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Are you going to tell my mam?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19- Well...- No!
0:17:19 > 0:17:20No, course we're not.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Look, maybe we should postpone this meeting?- No.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Please!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It was my dad's dying wish that I find a good husband.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Right, well, no-one is cancelling anything.- Zee...
0:17:38 > 0:17:42No. That is the end of it, OK?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Now we have just under an hour to get you presentable
0:17:44 > 0:17:48and to get this house presentable - so come on, come on, let's get to it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52And that means you two. Come on, let's go!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Right, come on, then. Fut-a-fut, let's go. Come on. Up, UP! Let's go.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Come on, come on... - Yeah, all right, all right.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Here she is!
0:18:00 > 0:18:05Oh, she's lovely! Oh, sweetheart. You're so beautiful I could eat you.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Photograph. Now, yeah? Come on. - What if I don't want a photo?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Oi, oi, don't start, all right? Let's just do it, yeah?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Come on.- All right, Phil, Lola?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Isn't Jack going to be in the photo, Mum?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I doubt it, darling. Even if he was here.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Yeah, what's wrong with him anyway?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I saw him shouting the odds earlier, at Phil's.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22One wardrobe, Alfie?!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I was expecting, like, a walk-in closet
0:18:24 > 0:18:25with a shoe rack to the heavens!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Once we do a clear out, we'll get some more room, won't we?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Kat's stuff, yeah?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Hey, you look beautiful!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34All right, come on then, everyone!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Settle down and SMILE.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38One, two, three.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Say cheese. - ALL:- Cheese.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42That's it. Right, the cars are outside.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Billy, Billy, could you look after Denny?- Yeah. Where you going?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well, I'll get a cab or something.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Now, you be a good boy for Billy, yeah? See you then.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Sharon, where are you go...?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I thought you'd be happy?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Oh, you thought me serving up fried chicken all day
0:18:55 > 0:18:56would put a smile on my face?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- You OK, Sharon?- Er, yeah. I'm looking for Jack.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Have you seen him? - Oh, don't tell me.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03He's not happy about you going on Phil's big family outing?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oh, you'd think if he was secure in himself,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- he wouldn't have a problem with it, wouldn't you?- Nah, they're never secure, are they?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12That's just a front...to make you think that they ain't little boys
0:19:12 > 0:19:13that need their mums.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15THEY CHUCKLE
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You should never have let Phil in.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22All this...it's just the start.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Properly clean, Tamwar...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28not your usual approximation.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Oh, wow(!) Why don't you put some effort into it?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35You know you just point it at the dust, and it does the rest for you.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40If you ain't pushing us around the kitchen, you are pushing people into wedlock!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42No-one's being pushed, actually.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45That's what you think. You know what, I can't do this.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm a conscientious objector.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50You are such good company when you've got a hangover.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's an outdated convention.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Forces people into lives they didn't choose.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's arranged, not forced. ARRANGED.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58You don't choose your life, anyway.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You don't choose when, where, to who you're born.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- You don't choose who you are, it's forced upon you.- Yeah, and us!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Please, stop it!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Last night, I did something terrible.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Dad would be so ashamed.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Whatever you think, just let me do this one thing right.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22What do you think?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- Huh?- Of arranged marriages?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, what's the alternative? Clubbing?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Chatting someone up in a nightclub's not what it's cut out to be.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Believe me, I tried it enough times when I was your age.- Seriously?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Yeah, maybe once or twice!- What?
0:20:39 > 0:20:46Look, Ayesha, above all, your father wanted you to be happy, yeah?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49So don't make yourself unhappy in your father's name.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- You two move fast!- Don't give them time to think, Cora, eh?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- They might change their minds. - Oi!- I'm joking!
0:20:59 > 0:21:00How much must this all have cost him?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I mean, her dress cost a fortune.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I didn't even know about the photographer or the cars.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06How did you think we were going to get there?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10When someone spends this much money on something, they always want something back.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's just Phil splashing the cash. That's all.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- He's just trying to do the right thing with Ben being inside, yeah? - And is Pops coming or not?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20He's taken Dennis to the little boys' room. Now, calm down!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Abi, get in the car.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29You all right?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Yeah.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Good lad.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39We all set?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Where's Sharon?- I dunno.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I can't believe you had a go at Phil in front of Lola.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Yeah, well, it weren't in front of her.- On today of all days, Jack?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58It wasn't in front of her!
0:21:58 > 0:22:02You know, when we met I was a single mum, out on my ear...
0:22:02 > 0:22:06but you just accepted me, Jack. I couldn't believe it...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and now I'm just an irritation who keeps doing the wrong thing.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Yeah, well, that ain't true, is it?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Instead of trusting me, you think I'm going to run off with Phil
0:22:13 > 0:22:15cos me name's on a piece of paper, Jack.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Is it too much for me to ask you just to do this one thing, right?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22One thing without any questions or any aggro?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It's not the relationship I want.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Yeah, well, you going to this christening, that ain't the relationship I want!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Oh, right...an ultimatum.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well, I'm sorry I'm not the woman you want me to be, Jack.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Sharon, that's not what I meant.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Look, I want to marry you, not lose you!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Is that your idea of a proposal?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah. Why not? Marry me.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48All right, and all I've got to do is follow your orders and I'm yours?
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Lucky me.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Oh, nice work, everyone, well done.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Eh? Scene of the crime.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Put these on!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07That's yours, yours, yours. They'll be here any minute.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- I'm going to go check on Ayesha. - Is this really necessary?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yes. If we're going to do something,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14then we may as well do it properly or not at all.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Our good family name is at stake!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Ha! You've got a good name?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20This is the start of us...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24..I don't know, re-establishing ourselves, OK?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I want people to like us again. Don't you?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30I do.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Whatever.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Erm...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Yeah, Ayesha's bag isn't there,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39and, more importantly, she isn't there either.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49What you doing, checking out your new home?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It is going to be home, isn't it?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53What, with you and Amy in it, how could it not be, eh?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Come on.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Come on, we're supposed to be there by now.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Oi, Phil! We going or what?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yeah, Sharon's going to meet us down there.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- I ain't going without her.- Why not?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Phil, where you going now?!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19He's up to something, I'm telling you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22All right. Just leave it, eh, Lo!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It's meant to be your special day, remember?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Why's she done a runner, she was all for it this morning?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Should we go look for her?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- I'll get it.- This is going to be interesting. Hide that for me.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37- Come on, Tamwar!- All right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- 'Salam alaikum.- Alaikum Salam. - Please, please, come in.'
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Thank you, thank you. - Everyone, it's the Kayanis!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Salam alaikum.- Where's Ayesha?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Rashid is no doubt dying to see her. Rashid, please, come in.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Salam alaikum.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- What you doing here?- Habit?
0:25:15 > 0:25:20I dunno. I thought I had everything...
0:25:20 > 0:25:22and again it turns out I had nothing.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28This is getting ridiculous.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, your meter's running, mate.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Maybe we should go without him, eh?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You know, I've lost everything and got it back again
0:25:47 > 0:25:50and lost it again so many times...
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I dunno, it's life, ain't it?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's like the tide - it rolls in and rolls back out again.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Yeah, well, I don't want to live like that any more, Phil.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Me neither.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05You all right?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I've had a...stressful morning.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15You know, we've...messed up, Sharon, you know?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19We've messed each other up, but...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21well, we want the same thing.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23World peace?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25A family. A home...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27full of people, you know? Something to build on.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29You make it sound like an empire.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You know, there's a reason, Sharon,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36that you turned up on my doorstep in that wedding dress.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Well, I didn't know who else to turn to.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Exactly. All the people that you've known in your life
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- and you chose me, didn't you? - Well, I knew you'd help me.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You didn't want saving from your marriage, Sharon.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- You wanted saving from your life.- Please.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54You knew that I'd take Dennis in, didn't you?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55You knew that I'd take you both in.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You were engaged, remember? You kicked us out!
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yeah, well, I did have a bit on my plate, didn't I?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03You had a tough couple of months, I'll give you that.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07But...it all just fell apart, you know?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Shirley left...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Ben turned himself in...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and it all just went but...
0:27:15 > 0:27:16well, now...
0:27:16 > 0:27:18now I got Lexi.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Well if I had you...and Dennis...
0:27:25 > 0:27:29..well, that's it...that's it, right there.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I mean, it's not an empire...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34it's a home.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Well, we just have to give it a name, that's all.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40What are you saying, Phil?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- What you got there?- No way. No...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- What?- Take these. The christening's off.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- D'you know what? I KNEW I couldn't trust him!- Lola, what are you doing?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12She is my baby! She ain't his, all right!
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Yeah, course she is. What's the matter with you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I was going to do this at the church.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Do what?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Sharon, we could have everything we ever wanted.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You know, starting today at Lexi's...
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Our granddaughter's christening.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43"Our" granddaughter?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Well, a couple of hours from now, she's going to be a Mitchell and...
0:28:46 > 0:28:48well, you could be one too.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Phil...- You always have been really, Sharon, haven't you?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Take the name...
0:28:59 > 0:29:01..and marry me.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- Here, let me...- Phil, I...
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Take your time, yeah?
0:29:19 > 0:29:20And think about it.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24I'll see you at the church.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Once you've seen one...
0:30:14 > 0:30:15You've seen them all?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Sorry, Vicar.- It's OK.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Churches generally aren't known for their radical architecture.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I wasn't apologising for the remark.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28You've got a Mitchell christening today. Sorry.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Cab! Cab!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- St Cuthbert's. Do you know it? - Yep. No problem.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44- Sorry, mate.- OK.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Aren't you supposed to be at a christening?
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Is that an engagement ring?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Please, can you just find her?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Can we not just accept the fact she's gone?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10I'm going to go tell them.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Ayesha's mother and brother have been planning this for weeks! OK?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- They trusted me with it. - More fool them.- Tamwar!
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Zee...
0:31:17 > 0:31:22When was the last time someone trusted us with anything?
0:31:22 > 0:31:26That boy out there, he's a good man, you know?
0:31:26 > 0:31:27He doesn't deserve this.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29She's right.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You stay here with AJ, you keep them happy.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Come on, we'll go have a look around.- Wait!
0:31:33 > 0:31:35You're leaving me with AJ?!
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Happy New Year!
0:31:44 > 0:31:45We're closed.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I just bumped into Sharon.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- I don't want to talk about it.- I do.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54You've only been with her five minutes, Jack.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Well, I had to do something, didn't I?
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Why?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Because she actually believes
0:31:59 > 0:32:02that Phil Mitchell has got good intentions.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Take it she said no, then?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I mean get this - of all the churches to choose, right,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12he chooses the church where my son is buried!
0:32:12 > 0:32:16He's making a play on her, ain't he?!
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Oh, come on. Turn it in.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38What's up with you?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45So, you two are properly together now, then?
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Kat's history, is she?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Yeah. Ancient history.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Ancient!- Come on, where are they, then?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54He said they're right behind us.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57He was getting well naggy about us being on time as well.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00What? "Naggy" is a word. Back me up, Alfie.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04What's up with him?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Oh, just pre-christening nerves.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Here comes the "naggy" one!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- What you done with Lola and the others?- They ain't here?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18We left them with you!
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Lo, what you got changed for?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Maybe it was a mistake? Maybe it was a misprint?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30What and it just so happens the misprint's MITCHELL, does it?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33He organised it all, maybe wires got crossed?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Do you even believe the words that are coming out your mouth?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Not really, no.- Don't you get it? He's trying to get between us.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42PHONE RINGING
0:33:42 > 0:33:45What am I going to say to him? Lo!
0:33:45 > 0:33:48You can stuff your christening. I ain't interested!
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Listen, I need to get back.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Do me a favour...keep everyone sweet, will ya?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Yes. Yes, I need a cab!
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Problems?
0:34:01 > 0:34:07- Well, so far there's no baby, no Lola, no Billy...- No Sharon.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09There's no Sharon and Phil's just gone off in a cab.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Like I said, sorry.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25You OK?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Yeah.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31You try and forget, don't you?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35That there's a little boy that you should be looking after
0:34:35 > 0:34:37and then...I dunno, you come here
0:34:37 > 0:34:43and it all sort of goes out the window, don't it? That forgetting.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44You OK?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Rox, we got Tommy back.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51I mean, that's nothing compared to what you went through.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Hey, it's all right. It's not a competition, is it?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01You've been funny since we got here. You going to tell me or what?
0:35:01 > 0:35:02You know, it's just...
0:35:02 > 0:35:05It's coming back here. Just reminds me.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07It was, like, the beginning of the end.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- What's that saying, united in grief?- Mm-hm.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I remember feeling so alone. It just...
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Kat took it all.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20It was like she was the only one who wanted to feel it.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22It was just her way of dealing with things.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Well, that's her way of dealing with everything, isn't it?
0:35:24 > 0:35:29You know, love....death. I mean...she's just so alone.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Whoever's with her, well, they're going to feel alone too.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39And what about the person that's with you?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45You tell me.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49We're both here, aren't we?
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Oh, thanks.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12What are they?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Rhubarb and custard.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Used to love them when I was a kid.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19What you got?
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Revdi.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Been eating them constantly since I left Newcastle.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Mam said I should keep home with us, wherever I go.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30I don't think she intended on us getting fat!
0:36:33 > 0:36:36It's comforting, though.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Everything from home is very comforting.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39You make that sound like a bad thing?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Thinking I should leave comforting behind.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46There comes a point where comfort's what you want, believe me.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50You realise that things that last, last for a reason.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53That would make you suspicious of new things.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58You want to swap?
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Yeah.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Mmm, lovely!
0:37:11 > 0:37:12'Anything?'
0:37:15 > 0:37:16They're not that bad!
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Nothing.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24You haven't seen that girl that lives with us, have you?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- What girl?- Oh, never mind. Come on.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35I think I prefer my comfort food.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40See...things that last...
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Last for a reason.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43You can't avoid 'em for ever.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45They can't keep looking for ever!
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Sober up.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54That's no way to sober up, is it?
0:37:57 > 0:38:02When I was a nipper, Derek was always telling me to be a man.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Know what I mean? "Don't let anyone push you around."- Derek?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09As I recall, he was in charge of the pushing, most of the time.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13That was his idea of an education, weren't it, eh?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15To be a man meant to be in control...
0:38:16 > 0:38:19..be in control of yourself...
0:38:20 > 0:38:23..be in control of your family...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25be in control of your work...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I couldn't stop James dying, though, could I?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Don't go down that road, mate, you'll do your head in.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32I couldn't save my marriage.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34You see, being in control...
0:38:36 > 0:38:38..means letting things slip through your fingers.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Cos being a man, it's like bashing your fists against a wall
0:38:44 > 0:38:47while the world still goes on and does what it wants anyway.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50That what this is about, with Sharon? Being in control?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53No, all right? It's not about that.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Michael, listen, with her...
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I just...I sleep.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Every night, I just... I'm out.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Sounds passionate(!)
0:39:05 > 0:39:07You know what I'm talking about. With her I just sleep.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I SLEEP.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Well, if you've found such peace, why you bringing marriage into it, then?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Cos I can't go back, can I?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22She don't look too peaceful out there, mate.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26She's staring at this engagement ring. She looks SHELL-shocked.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Engagement ring?
0:39:30 > 0:39:31The one you proposed with?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34I gave her an ultimatum, I didn't give her no ring!
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I knew it! I KNEW it!
0:39:38 > 0:39:39This is Phil, ain't it!
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Hang on, Jack...
0:39:43 > 0:39:46HAMMERING ON THE DOOR
0:39:46 > 0:39:47We should hear him out.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04You can't just run off like that -
0:40:04 > 0:40:06otherwise we'll both end up losing her!
0:40:06 > 0:40:10You met my daughter? Lexi PEARCE? It says so on her birth certificate.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Shall I go get it? - Just calm down, will you?- Calm down?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16I'm in a tug of war with the police, the social,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18half of Walford are trying to take her away and the second...
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Sit down, will you? - ..and the SECOND I drag her back
0:40:21 > 0:40:23you join the other end! So go on.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25You join the police and the social, and everyone else,
0:40:25 > 0:40:27and take my daughter away AGAIN!
0:40:32 > 0:40:34I thought you was supposed to be family.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41MASOOD PANTING
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I've been exercising all morning...
0:40:47 > 0:40:48..what's your excuse?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Years of chronic inertia.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Er...
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Why don't you go and check on the platforms?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01You've got youth on your side. Go on. Go.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Go!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12You thought I'd be flattered?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- Are you joking? - I'm bringing her in, aren't I?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- And I thought you could change your name too.- Right.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Should I be ashamed of mine? - I never say that, did I?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21What you saying, I should just turn my back on MY family?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Let's not pretend you're from the House of Windsor.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26There's a reason you've been brought up in care.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Yeah, and there's a reason Pops come to find me!
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Billy's a Mitchell, ain't he?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32That's what I'm doing, I'm giving you the chance to be like him.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33To be one of us.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Is that the reason you let me have Jay and Cora as godparents?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37You thought it'd sweeten me up, did ya?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You can't have Lexi growing up with all these names, she won't know where she is.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43She won't have a different name. She'll have mine.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Listen...her dad is a Mitchell, yeah?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52No matter what you think of him, he is her dad.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Her granddad's a Mitchell, her great-granddad is a Mitchell!
0:41:55 > 0:41:58If you had the name too, well...
0:41:58 > 0:41:59we'd be a proper family, wouldn't we?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01And I look after my own, don't I, Billy?
0:42:01 > 0:42:03You ain't that generous.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Lexi'll be set for life. - She IS set for life.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Even if I'm poor, I will give her everything that I've got.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Do you really think I'm going to trust you to do the same?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Phil...
0:42:15 > 0:42:17she doesn't want the name.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Well...if you don't trust me, what about Sharon?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Sharon? What's Sharon got to do with any of this?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I've asked her to marry me.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Really? What, and she knows about the name change
0:42:31 > 0:42:33and she's cool with that as well?
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Yeah.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Yeah, so it wouldn't just be me.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40It'd be you, it'd be you, Billy, me, Sharon...
0:42:40 > 0:42:44I mean, if that ain't the nearest thing we're going to get to a proper family, I don't know what is.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06I wish you'd tell me what's up.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09And I wish you'd just figure it out.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Please?
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Well, the last time I was here, we buried Heather.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Now I'm supposed to just stick on a suit and act the big man.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Where's my soldier of God gone, eh?
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Maybe it's best they don't show up, eh?
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Where's Phil?
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Left in a cab half hour ago.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30And Sharon?
0:43:30 > 0:43:34Easy, easy, easy. Vicars don't do violence. Neither do I, Jack.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36- Just be cool, all right? - She said yes to him.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38I bet you she's said yes to him.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41You don't know that, Jack.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43PHONE BEEPING
0:43:54 > 0:43:57You're not going to shout at us?
0:43:57 > 0:43:58Send us home?
0:44:02 > 0:44:05You know, these things...
0:44:06 > 0:44:11..these things are not one player. I've tried.
0:44:20 > 0:44:21You ready?
0:44:23 > 0:44:26Ayesha, what have you been eating?!
0:44:27 > 0:44:30Ah, your hangover any better?
0:44:30 > 0:44:31Getting there.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36- I'm done with the booze, that's for sure.- Oh!
0:44:36 > 0:44:39That's a pretty quick rebellious phase.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42Without Dad, I got no-one to rebel against.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Why are you being so nice?
0:44:50 > 0:44:53It's interrogation technique.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55AYESHA LAUGHS
0:44:55 > 0:44:57What we doing here, Ayesha?
0:44:57 > 0:44:58Er, we're on a seesaw?
0:45:02 > 0:45:05When you came here, you were so sure about everything.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09You were going to meet Rashid, get married...
0:45:11 > 0:45:13At home, it all seemed so simple.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19You know, but that was before there was such a thing as London and
0:45:19 > 0:45:20your family and...
0:45:20 > 0:45:24cherryade plus - AJ's name, not mine.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26You make us sound like forbidden fruit!
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Well, I can't imagine my brother letting us come to stay
0:45:29 > 0:45:30if he knew what you...
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Sorry.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36So...
0:45:36 > 0:45:40your eyes have been opened to the bounteous possibilities of life
0:45:40 > 0:45:42and you don't know what to do?
0:45:42 > 0:45:43Sort of.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47You want some advice?
0:45:49 > 0:45:50Please.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Come home...
0:45:53 > 0:45:57..meet Rashid. If you like him, that's great...
0:45:57 > 0:46:01If you don't...then bid him farewell.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06What, just...just turn him away?
0:46:06 > 0:46:09Yeah, well, it's far less radical than doing a runner.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15But...what about my family? His family?
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Your family?
0:46:17 > 0:46:19It's your life, Ayesha.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55Think he'll be all right?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57You know what, when I was little,
0:46:57 > 0:46:59I used to think churches were really sad places
0:46:59 > 0:47:03cos they were surrounded by gravestones.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Yeah. It creates a vibe.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08Yeah, but there's weddings, isn't there? And christenings...
0:47:08 > 0:47:09Pat.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10Yeah.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12James is in good company.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Me too.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32And there was me thinking we got all dressed up for nothing.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33We still good to go, Vic?
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Of course.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Come on, let's get inside, come on.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40- She ain't half getting heavy. - Jay, will you take her for a minute?
0:47:40 > 0:47:41There you are, mate.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47- All right?- Does my hair look all right?- Yeah, it looks great.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Hey, she looks gorgeous!
0:47:52 > 0:47:54Ah, you're going to make a great godfather.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Alfie, is Jack in there?
0:47:58 > 0:48:00He's down there, sweetheart.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09Mrs Masood, please, pass on our regrets to Ayesha's family
0:48:09 > 0:48:11that this meeting could not take place.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14Erm, perhaps if you could just wait a little bit longer...
0:48:14 > 0:48:18Clearly, they hadn't heard about your family's chaotic ways in Newcastle.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Oh, that sounds like them!
0:48:22 > 0:48:23I'm so sorry I'm late.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Oh, no, it's my fault. I read the note all wrong.
0:48:26 > 0:48:27I got all the wrong timings!
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Well, Rashid, this is Ayesha. Ayesha, Rashid.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33I've waited so long to meet you.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Well, why don't we leave them to it?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Mrs Kayani, are you familiar at all
0:48:40 > 0:48:42with the wonderful delights of Walford?
0:48:45 > 0:48:46Please, come through.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Uncle Ji, could you stay?
0:48:50 > 0:48:52I'd prefer to have a chaperone.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06She looks gorgeous.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Don't start me off. I don't want to blubber in the pics.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14You seen Sharon?
0:49:14 > 0:49:15No.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Jack? You OK?
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Just thinking about him...
0:49:55 > 0:49:58..imagining being an old git like me...
0:50:00 > 0:50:03..grey hair, crow's feet...
0:50:03 > 0:50:06and making the same mistakes as his old man.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Jack, I'm so sorry.
0:50:11 > 0:50:17Listen, I really thought Phil chose this church on purpose.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Phil doesn't give things that much thought.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20Just the way James died...
0:50:22 > 0:50:24..all that happened...
0:50:26 > 0:50:28..it's easy for paranoia to creep in.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34I'm sorry for that. I truly am.
0:50:42 > 0:50:46- Thanks. We're going to start in a sec.- Where is she, Phil?
0:50:46 > 0:50:49- I told you I'm not doing it without her.- Let's just start, all right?
0:50:49 > 0:50:52- Can you hear me?! - I said she'll be here, OK?
0:50:52 > 0:50:53Vicar?
0:50:55 > 0:50:59So it's my pleasure to welcome you to St Cuthbert's this New Year's Day
0:50:59 > 0:51:02for Lexi's christening.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05We meet in the name of the Father and of the Son
0:51:05 > 0:51:07and of the Holy Spirit.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08- ALL:- Amen.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10The Lord be with you.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12And also with you.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14I've been an idiot.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16This where you take back the proposal?
0:51:16 > 0:51:20No, I don't mean an idiot for asking you - it's the way I asked you.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24- Jack, either way...- Please, please.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Whatever your decision,
0:51:26 > 0:51:31I don't want you thinking I wasn't being sincere, cos I was.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33I love you, Sharon.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36I never thought I'd be able to say that again...
0:51:36 > 0:51:37but I can.
0:51:37 > 0:51:38And I love you.
