No, he can't just chuck you out like that.

He's got to give you at least a week's notice.

Anyway, how was the second honeymoon?

It was lovely, Jean. It was perfect. It was great.

D'you know any minute now my name's about to be taken off the top of this door?

Yeah, well, if you hadn't just run away like that, this wouldn't have happened.

Do you know how stressful it's been? Running the Vic? Looking after Phil?

Let alone deal with his sudden interest in decorating?

BABY VOMITS

Come on!

You can't keep doing that.

You can't keep doing it, cos it's disgusting. And it's driving me mad.

Lauren, hi, it's Michael.

Yeah, how do you feel about earning some extra money again?

OK, yeah, yeah, that's cool. All right, bye.

(All right, all right, all right. Fine, fine, fine.)

Jack!

Hello, mate.

ALARM SOUNDS

Oh, you're awake again, are you? Do you not need to sleep?

Y'know, I still can't believe what he's done in there,

he's changed everything.

Like Phil Mitchell's gone all aqua.

HE SIGHS

It's like he's painted the life out of it.

This is all my fault.

If we hadn't have left, if I hadn't...

PHONE BEEPS

Pizza offer.

Why'd you delete it then?

I dunno! Sorry!

That was a PIZZA OFFER.

It wasn't anything. I swear.

Alfie, I promised you I wouldn't have any contact with him.

All right? I promised you!

I know, I know, I know.

Let's stick to what we agreed, yeah?

A deal is a deal. No more questions. Just looking forward.

And no looking back. All right?

-Cos we're a family. Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

Right.

I'm going to talk to Phil, I'm going to get it sorted.

Oh! Hello. Your toaster broken, is it?

You know how I like to start the morning -

seeing my beautiful daughter.

-Dad, come on! You know Jay's good with cars.

-Yeah.

-I know he's good with an alibi an' all, don't mean I trust him.

-Dad!

He'd be bad for business, all right?

PHONE RINGS

Not Derek again! He's called about six times this morning!

-What does he want?

-An apology.

-Apparently we didn't treat him with enough respect.

-You're kidding?

-See you later.

See YOU next meal time.

You know what I like about Derek? Manners.

Should never underestimate good manners.

Squaring up to his brother in his local boozer?

Very well-mannered, Mum(!)

Families are for life, girl.

You want to learn how to get along with him.

Do I? Why?

What is it with you and Derek? This hate?

What is with you always sticking up for him?

He's like a Jack Russell.

Small. Bit yappy. Ultimately harmless.

Keep telling yourself that. Don't know the half of it.

Know what?

It's nothing. It's nothing.

What ain't you told me?

Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!

Mum, honestly, just... ignore me, it's nothing.

I'm not being funny but I've got my books to do, so...

I'll see you later.

-Tanya...

-Mum.

I'm a big girl.

-All right?

-No.

I'm going to be late. Lexi kept me up all night.

-Yeah, I heard.

-Well, I'm going to get these done

then get myself down the community centre.

She's sleeping now, but I'm really, really late.

Why don't you let me look after her, eh?

-Give me something to do.

-But it's a mother-and-baby class.

Waking up a baby that ain't slept all night, that's good parenting, is it?

Thanks, Pops.

You're the best mum out of the lot of 'em!

Go on. Go!

-Yeah, bye, see ya.

-Ta-da.

Hey.

-It's all right, Phil, I can clear up.

-Ain't your job.

And I want you out of here by the end of the day.

Listen, Phil, I'm really sorry. But you can't chuck us out!

-Should have thought of that before.

-I know. And I'm really sorry!

I really mean it, I'm sorry.

-HE SIGHS

-But you can't chuck us out.

Not without giving us a week's notice. I've checked the agreement.

It's my pub, and what I say goes.

HE SIGHS

Phil, I know what you're trying to do.

You're trying to distract yourself. Move on.

But don't move on by moving us out!

Please, c'mon. This is our home, Phil.

A week's notice - home and job. And Roxy's the manager.

-Roxy?

-Least she ain't going to disappear, is she?

Yeah, thanks. Bye.

Phil's given us a week. So we've got a week to change his mind.

That was a supplier!

He wanted to know what name to put on the order. Because Phil said we left.

Roxy.

Phil's made Roxy the manager.

Right. Come on! Let's tidy this place up then.

But she hadn't slept all night.

This is a practical parenting class, Lola.

Waking a baby that hasn't slept all night is good parenting?

Your social worker wanted me to let her know how you're getting on -

if I don't see you with Lexi, I can't do that!

I'll have to tell her.

Hello, ladies.

Make yourselves comfortable. Sit down.

-Look, I promised Amy we'd go to the zoo.

-Yeah. We'll come too.

-Babies love animals.

-But if I'm with you, I'm not with Amy.

It's a daddy date.

What's a daddy date?

All dads have to have special time with their little girls.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Anyway, Roxy's got her hands full.

Kat and Alfie came back last night.

-And Phil sacked 'em.

-Did he? Both of them came back, yeah?

Yeah. Both of 'em came back. Why'd you say that?

No reason, no reason. Go on, go have your "daddy date".

Oh, how'd that meeting go yesterday?

Oh, no joy.

No surprises there, then.

BABY CRIES

What other ways have we tried to help baby go to sleep?

Er...Lola.

I don't know. Clean 'em,

feed 'em, sing to 'em.

Put some brandy in their bottle? Innit?

SHE LAUGHS

I was joking, Gillian. I didn't mean it.

NEVER try that. That isn't funny!

KNOCK ON DOORs

Are you ready to tell me what happened? I've shut up shop.

And I'm not leaving here until I get some answers.

All right.

D'you remember all that business with Alice?

You know, Derek got upset? You got upset?

What about it?

Derek pinned me up against a wall. Told me I was a dead woman.

What?!

Did he?

Yeah, I told Alice what he was really like. Maybe I shouldn't have.

There's no reason for a man to threaten a woman. EVER.

-That's all right. I'll see how he likes being pushed about.

-Don't.

Just leave it.

Honestly. Both of you. It's done. It's finished.

Promise me.

We're the heart of the Vic. Right?

-Yeah, we are. You're everyone's favourite landlord.

-Listen,

we've just got to find a way of getting the punters back in the pub.

Appeal to Phil's wallet.

And who likes a bargain more than anyone else?

-Nan...

-Cos?

-She's tight!

Jean! Sweetheart, listen,

I'm sorry about all the upset and everything that's going on.

Why don't you take the day off today?

-Give me a chance to find somewhere else to live, I suppose.

-Good girl!

-Means you can keep your eye on Tommy.

-What?

-I got a plan!

-Alfie!

There you go, you're with your Auntie Jean now!

-SHE SIGHS

-Come on, then!

Remember who I am, then? Now you ain't with your posh mate?

Cos I thought you was too good for us,

now you got yourself a "real family".

Y'know? Up yourself.

Ain't like that, Alexa.

What you doin' now? You want to cotch with us?

Yeah, go on then!

All right, ladies. Let me introduce to you

the big, bad Miss Lola Pearce.

-Good to see you again.

-You too.

-Come on.

What do you reckon, eh?

Fiver? Maybe a bit of bingo. Maybe a pub quiz...

What're you doing?

Pensioners pint, pie and mash all for a fiver.

-We've got enough pies in the freezer.

-OK,

Look, I'm really sorry but... You'll have to run it past me.

It's for the punters. If you not interested, then fine.

I'm not saying that! Just.... We got to discuss... Fine.

Do it. OK?

How was the second honeymoon?

-It was lovely, yeah.

-Yeah.

All right for some. Is Amy ready for the zoo?

Yes. She's upstairs. I'll get her in a minute.

Michael wanted to tag along. I said he couldn't.

-You should've let him. He's finding it hard.

-Today's about me and Amy.

-What d'you mean - finding it hard?

-Janine's gone.

-Left the both of them.

-What? Him and Scarlett?

-Yeah, he's not taking it well.

-When did this happen then?

The night you left.

-Anyway, you ready?

-Yeah, come on.

Sorry! I'm so sorry.

You still in Dalston?

No, my new fosterer lives in Hackney.

Keeps going on about my "future".

What about you? How's it going with, your, um..?

-My pops?

-Yeah.

-He's a right laugh, actually.

That's good. No offence or anything,

-but I'm not really interested in happy-ever-afters. Y'know?

-Sorry.

It's all right.

Do you fancy hitting the sales? Getting a few...bargains?

I'm barred, actually. Been caught sale shopping way too many times.

OK. You keep lookout then, yeah? Come on, girls.

Roxy said Janine's left you!

Hello, Michael, how're you? I'm fine, Kathleen. Thanks for asking.

How are you?

I'm fine, thank you, Kathleen. Thanks for asking.

How's Alfie?

He's good.

Good. We're both good.

So has she really left you?

It was me that ended it. I...

Me. Not her. It was me.

Are you going to look me in the eye and tell me that?

It was me.

Michael. You don't have to pretend.

I can't believe you didn't say anything that night.

You just listened to me...

Wasn't really about me, that night, it was about you.

So where's she gone?

"Abroad."

Wherever that is.

She's not kept in touch.

Ah!

She...left those for me.

Come on! Come on!

Alexa! Alexa! Come in here!

Told you I'd get some bargains, didn't I?

You're mental, do you know that?

SHE LAUGHS

What have you got there?

Not bad. Mirror, please. Do you want that?

Same again please.

Actually, make it a double, Alfie, will you?

I'm waiting.

My apology?

That girl that Jack set me up with...

And I don't appreciate being laughed at. Show some respect.

You want some respect do you, Del?

What, after you threatened Tanya? Pinned her against a wall?

C'mon. Fair dos. No-one stands between a man and his daughter.

You don't lift a finger to her, right?

You're telling me what to do now, are you?

You should be nice to me.

Do you want Tanya finding out about your problem?

Look, there's only one thing that's going to sort that out and that's money.

You want 'em to keep quiet then pay 'em.

-I HAVE paid 'em, Del.

-Yeah, well, it's obviously not enough, is it?

You all right there, Alfie?

Heard you an' Kat have been on a second honeymoon.

-Nice time?

-'Scuse me.

If you need a hand, just give me a call. All right?

-You don't need to do this on your own.

-(Thanks).

You was right about me and Alfie.

We are worth fighting for.

Always.

It's a shame Janine didn't feel the same.

D'you mind? Take your feet down.

Are you going to let them get away with that?

Good luck.

I found this. It's minging.

I want a new burger and my money back

or I'm calling environmental health.

OK. Sorry.

When d'you get that tag?

Few months ago. Comes off Friday, though.

Nah, it's all right. Had a heavy one last night. It was mental.

-I got so wasted!

-Thought you looked knackered!

PHONE RINGS

Hello. Yeah.

Michael Moon speaking, yeah.

No, no idea where your cleaner is.

What did they look like?

All right, Phil?

I need more motors.

-Right.

-The usual, yeah?

I'll make it worth your while.

I'll have a word with my mate.

You'll have to get someone else to do the dirty work.

I thought you could, y'know? Same deal as before.

No, I said, you'll have to get someone else to do the dirty work.

-Here you go, sweetheart.

-Thanks, darlin'. Place ain't been the same without you.

Thank you, Cora. Much appreciated.

-How's your lovely boy?

-Yeah, he's great, darling. He's...

'Scuse me...

All right, babe. Where you been, then?

Went to see Michael. What with Janine going...

Listen Kat, we have enough worries of our own.

-Michael can take care of himself.

-He'd like you to think that.

He's making out that he dumped Janine.

But I saw him the night that she left.

And that was not a man that wanted to split up his family.

Yes, darling?

-Look, it's been really nice catching up but I got to...

-Already?

-We ain't even started yet.

-Yeah.

Hiya. Can I have a doughnut?

-Er, excuse me?

-Why, what've you done?

Can you stop that?

Forget it. You should really chuck them out.

D'you hear what she's saying, Lola? That's not very nice, like, is it?

You know these morons?!

Are you going to let her talk to us like that?

Cos you're either my mate or hers. You can't have it both ways.

Come on, let's go.

Here, Rox, how come you've got to go and see Michael?

I'll be half an hour. He needs me.

Oh, he needs you. Poor abandoned Michael.

You of all people should know what he's like! The bloke only thinks about himself!

Rox, have you forgot about Jean? And Ronnie? He's using you, all right?

Grandad, I'm just going to help a mate out. All right?

He needs someone to talk to.

-What's the matter? Is everything OK?

-Yeah. Absolutely fine.

I just need to dive out for a bit of business. Won't be long.

-Michael! Michael! Hold on! Where are you...

-She's asleep in there.

Where are you going? Are you coming back?

-Are you coming back, Mic...!

-DOOR CLOSES

-Phil!

-I hoped I'd see you.

-I've only got a minute.

I've got a delivery coming to R&R early and I need to pick up Denny.

Could you wait for it? Please?

I can pick him up for you, if you want, give him some tea.

Don't mind hanging out with a six-year-old boy?

Nah, six is the best age to be.

Thanks, Phil, I'll let the school know. Cheers, mate.

I don't understand why you won't give Jay a job.

-Babe, just change the record, will you? Please?

-Give him one.

What?

You must be able to find something for him to do.

Thanks, Mum.

You changed your tune.

Why'd you say that?

I've been thinking about it.

It's the only way we can keep an eye on him, ain't it?

I saw Derek.

What? You promised me you wouldn't!

I weren't going to just not say anything, was I?

-Oh great! Now he really will kick off, won't he!

-Course he won't kick off!

Babe, I ain't having him treating you like that.

I love you.

I do. I love you.

All right.

-Pops?

-Where've you been?

-Sorry. How's Lexi?

-Grumpy!

I had to wake her. Didn't want her up all night again.

All right, all right! Hang on!

-Where is she, Bill?

-Where are you going?

-Lola!

-What?

-There you are!

29 Edward Street. Mr Ridge. Ring any bells?

Used to be with Butcher's Joints. He's got himself a new cleaner. You!

-What a coincidence!

-I can explain...

-Oh, can you really?

How'd you get the details? Bit of light thievery? Bit of breaking and entering?

-What you talking about?

-I bet social services would love to hear about that. And the Old Bill.

-Why don't we go there together?

-Ow!

-Get your hands off her!

Stealing my business from underneath my nose!

Well, Janine didn't want it, did she?

-Come on!

-Ow! Get off me!

-What're you doing?

She's a kid! What're you doing?

DOOR SLAMS

Here y'are. Want to play with this? You just, er...

Is it yours?

It was... It was my boy's.

You just twist it. I think.

Think it's broken, mate. Sorry.

Thought you were meant to be good with cars.

PHIL CHUCKLES

Now, show me how you did that again. Go on.

Cos that was on top of it...

-And the roof was off like that.

-Right.

So I just clipped the roof on...

and then put the back up.

Then I shut the doors...

Cheers, darling.

-Swear you didn't break into Butcher's Joints?

-No, I didn't!

-How did you get that client's number?

-Gift of the gab.

-All right?

-All right, Kat?

Have you got any work going? I'll do anything.

I ain't fussy. I just want to treat Lexi.

-You could pop in tomorrow and give the barrel store a once-over.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Wicked!

-I'll see you tomorrow.

-See you tomorrow.

Alfie?

Was it Michael?

DOOR SLAMS

Where've you been? I'm supposed to have been at work.

Huh? Michael?

SHE SCOFFS

Alfie was right, wasn't he? You're actually using me.

No, I'm not. I'm not using you.

Well, you just keep telling yourself that, yeah?

-Excuse me.

-Come on, don't be this way! Don't be this way!

I would never lie to you.

Come on, you mean something to me. You're special.

You're very special.

Michael, what you doing?! What's the matter with you?

I'm sorry. I didn't... I didn't mean it!

You have not changed one bit, have you? You just...

-BABY WHIMPERS

-You just use people.

That is what you do. That's what you do, Michael.

Roxy, please...

Come on, don't leave me!

Look after your daughter!

DOOR SLAMS

Look at me, darling.

Alfie, look at me.

It weren't Michael.

I told you - it's no-one you know. No-one.

It weren't him.

I swear on Tommy's life.

-I'm sorry.

-No.

No, don't you ever say sorry. Ever.

You've got nothing to say sorry for!

I thought...

I thought I could do this, Kat.

I can't.

I can't.
