0:00:27 > 0:00:29KNOCK AT DOOR
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Ah, good.- What's good?
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Do us a favour - I need a shirt ironed.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Excuse me?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42For the Family Group Conference.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43- We're still doing that? - Course we are.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I've got a new care plan to show 'em -
0:00:45 > 0:00:47one that don't involve lies.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Come on, Phil, this is stupid. It's over, you know that.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Nothing is over, all right?
0:00:53 > 0:00:54You've got me.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05That German market will be a wonder to behold tomorrow.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Sort of makes you want to sing.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12# Deutschland, Deutschland! #
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Maybe not.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Oh, sorry, sweetheart, what were you saying?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- The German market will be absolutely wonderful.- Oh, yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Kat'll love it, anyway.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Here, Jean, I hope you don't mind me asking, right, but...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36has Kat asked to borrow any money off you lately?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You know, I don't know, a couple of quid
0:01:38 > 0:01:41or...a few hundred quid.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Oh, to buy you a big Christmas present or something?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Yeah. Yeah, that's it. You know, a big surprise.- Yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Come on, has she asked you...has she asked you to keep it a secret?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56No. Sorry.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Still time, though, Alfie.- Yeah.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Get your hands off my fruit.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16You know, you can't sell any of this stuff.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Oh, it's funny how I'm shifting a ton of it, though, innit? - It's too big.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22No, European regulations, OK?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- You are in direct contravention of trading standards.- Oh!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Oh, you, you are priceless! Maybe it's yours -
0:02:29 > 0:02:31too small.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Europe's very hot on this sort of thing.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, come on. Right, I tell you what.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Here you go, you can send that in with your report,
0:02:40 > 0:02:45and then you can sign it - Ian Beale, SPM.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What's SPM?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Small, Pathetic Man.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52That's charming(!) Not a very nice seasonal message.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Well, here's another one for you, then.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Peace and goodwill to all men...
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Except you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09I chose the blue one.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Oh, good. Now, let's go through this new care plan -
0:03:12 > 0:03:14make sure you're totally behind it.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16What if I'm not?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, then, it's goodbye Lexi, innit?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Do you know what? You could have at least asked me what I thought.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24You know, all I need for you to do is look happy
0:03:24 > 0:03:26and show social services you're right behind me.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Right, well, I want Pops here.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- He's away working, you know that. - So get him back.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32He's on a job.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Well, I'd be a lot happier if he was here.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- It's not possible. You got me, haven't you? That's all you need. - IRON HISSES
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Have a look. Look.- What?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Oh, no, no! See? Look, I can't even iron a poxy shirt!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Lola, just relax, will you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I can't have you like this when they turn up. I need you at your best.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Yeah, well, they know who you are, Phil, and they know all the stuff you've done!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59SHE SIGHS
0:04:01 > 0:04:04What sort of person would do this? It's evil.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Shall I call the RSPCA?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Not funny, Mum. Dad loved him.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Abi, it's not real.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Right, well, I'm all reindeered out,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- so shall we go get a coffee, yeah? - Yeah, yeah.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's got to be a quick one, though,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20cos Tyler's taking me shopping for my birthday.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23He says I've got to pick ten things I want - for Christmas as well -
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and then he's going to choose five of them.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Hmm. Ain't love grand?- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Suppose we could always just hang a wreath on the door.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32A wreath?!
0:04:33 > 0:04:34A Christmas wreath.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, yeah. Sorry.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Oh, Abi, Abi.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Don't be silly.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45These results, they're going to be...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48good. They're going to be good.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Don't worry. Why wouldn't they be, eh?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It's Christmas.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56The thing is, Tyler will probably end up buying all ten.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, lucky you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Not my fault I've got a great fella, is it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Yeah, well, maybe you should go on double dates with Lucy and Joey, then.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07The way you said that, it sounded like they're a couple.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Didn't you know?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Lucy hates Joey.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, hate must be very, very close to love, then,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- because you should've seen them Friday night.- I don't get that girl.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Yeah. He obviously does.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I've called Europe.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Were they in?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Just you wait.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Europe?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29He thinks I'm selling oversized fruit.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33You'd think living on the streets would have mellowed him out.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Listen, you silly little man,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- you cannot go round threatening my friend.- What you doing?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- I'm giving him what for. - This is my battle, thank you.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Well, I can have my say.- No way.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Zee, this is my one.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Just leave it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Loser.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Creep.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Alfie! Oh, you haven't put the chairs down or anything.- Jean, Jean,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'm going to be on the stall today.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04At least, that's where I'm supposed to be, all right?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Oh. So who's going to run the pub? - You're going to be Kat today.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Oh, no, it's going to be too busy! - Jean, Jean... HE SIGHS
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Sweetheart, Mo'll chip in, and I'll check from time to time, OK?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- SHE GROANS - Oh, Alfie...
0:06:17 > 0:06:18What?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Maybe Kat asked Charlie for the money.- Hey?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Well, earlier you were asking about presents and things.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Oh, Charlie! Of course, Charlie. Duh.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Yeah, he would, wouldn't he?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Jean, you're a genius, sweetheart! SHE LAUGHS
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Of course she'd ask him. Wasn't thinking, was I?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41No, you weren't.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- The social been round yet?- Later.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Do you know what you're going to say?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Phil's been rehearsing me.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- And?- And all I've got to do is sit there, smile,
0:06:58 > 0:06:59keep quiet and nod my head.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03So he's calling all the shots and you're just going to do as you're told?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04For now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06For ever, Lola.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Billy's already been muscled out. Who do you think is going to be next?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16FRONT DOOR SHUTS
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- DOOR OPENS - Just leave it there.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Cora!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Oh, hiya.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- You went for the job, then?- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Is everything all right?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Yeah, yeah, it's good, thanks, Jean.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Don't mind me - miles away.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39It's just, um...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Have you seen what it's like out there?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56CORA GROANS
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- So what do you think? - Should have brought my overalls.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Thought it might send a message - you know, brightening the place up,
0:08:02 > 0:08:03making it a proper family home.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Well, can't do any harm.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Yeah. Now all I need to do is stop Lola tripping over her chin
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and start looking positive.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Do you not like the pattern?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15We should go get Lola.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19She's already here. She's putting out biscuits for the meeting. She's in the kitchen.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Well, let's work on putting a smile on her face, then.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24You OK?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Lola!
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Lola!
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Oh.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- It's going to have to be next week. - But you promised.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I know, I know, I'm sorry.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49But we're manic getting the stall restocked before this German market opens.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52So it's not all love and roses, then, is it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56When's AJ getting back from Manchester?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58In a couple of weeks? I don't know. Why?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Because I miss harassing him.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- You can call him if you like, if it's that bad. - You just don't get it, do you?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Get what?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09When I say that I'm missing AJ, I am obviously missing working.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Oh, right, yeah, of course, yeah, sorry.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I need to do something, Mas.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Like what?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Am I meant to think of everything now?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Any decent husband-to-be would leap up and find me something.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You look tired.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Busy weekend.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Doing?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Yes?- One coffee, please.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Everything all right?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Is it your ribs?- Eh?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45They must be hurting a fair bit.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Yeah. Yeah, it's my ribs.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- She won't have gone far.- You know, if she blows this for me...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- For herself, you mean.- I've gone out on a limb for that girl.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59The least she can do is respect that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Look, I'll find her, all right?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07OK, you have 11 players against 11 players.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- It's not about... You know, you slide somebody in there...- Oh, oh, oh. - Oh, hello, it's the dream team.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Oh, listen, bruv, any day now the stock arrives, all right?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- And the war is on.- Yes!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Sounds like a little croak in your voice.- What?- Are you nervous?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, Tyler, you know, I love a no-hoper!
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- I can see all your dreams just falling away one by one. - Oh, you reckon, do you?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Only it's been scientifically proven handsome geezers sell a lot more than munchkins...
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Oh, did you just call yourself a munchkin, bruv?- I believe he did!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Listen, look, I'll show you a proper stall. Come over here.- Follow the yellow brick road! Go on. Loser!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Alfie, where's that dozy mare Jean got to?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- I thought she was working with you, darling.- Fat chance.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I've got a lot of cracking Christmas deals that need my attention.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47All right, Mo, I'll sort it, OK?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Never let it be said that Alfie Moon keeps Mo away from her dark and dingy world.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Well, you can just call Kat.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55No, it's all under control, all right? Kat's with Charlie,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57and you know, he's spoiling her.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Spoil her? He's got a chest infection, he's flat broke -
0:11:00 > 0:11:02she'll be glad to get away.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05What? Hold on, what? You telling me he's brassic?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Well, if you get a Christmas card this year,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10it'll only be because he's made it himself.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Standards are dropping round here.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38That's me, that is, that reindeer.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41MOBILE RINGS
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I think he wants you to go back to his place.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah, well, I'll go when I'm ready.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Look, the minute you don't show up
0:11:54 > 0:11:56is the minute that Phil gets shoved out the picture.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58All these plans will turn to dust.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Yeah, it sounds good until you realise that Phil's plan is all I've got.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Why does it have to be like this, Shirley?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Why can't I just have her? She's my baby.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I should be running the pub.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26How am I supposed to get through this lot on me own?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Oh, I'm sorry,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31but I really must go.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You know what I've always admired about you, Jean?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Your willingness to help a friend in their hour of need.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Hi. You all right, B?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Oh, yeah, wonderful, I love being sent out for coffees(!)
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Come on, sweetheart, you can't be grumpy at Christmas, eh?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57We've got magic on its way.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Something Walford's never seen before.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Magic? Couldn't magic me up a proper tree and some presents, could you?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04My tips don't stretch to a turkey leg.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Anyway...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- you don't look too happy yourself, Alfie.- Nah, I'm all right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Yes, Alfie?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14HE SIGHS
0:13:16 > 0:13:18No, I'm all right. Thanks.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- What, do I have something on my face?- What?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33You keep staring at me.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Hmm. Yeah, I'm just sitting here wondering how can you be such a mug.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Anything else to compliment me about?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47I'm really trying not to say anything, but come on, Joey?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Seriously?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Yeah, well, he's... - It's wrong, Lucy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Who asked you? - Friends don't need to be asked.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Yeah, and friends also know when to butt out. - I think you should let it go.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59So you're living my life now?
0:14:00 > 0:14:01He's not right for you.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04He's not.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Listen, Lauren...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12What?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Nothing.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:14:24 > 0:14:26# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:14:26 > 0:14:29# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:14:29 > 0:14:30# And a happy new year... #
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Hello, mate.- All right, mate? I'll be back in five.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37No, no, it's not that. It's...er... This is from your shop, right?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- What of it?- OK, well, listen, I know it cost a package but...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43do you remember selling it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Oh, that's for me to know, innit? - Please, help me out here.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Do you remember a girl - 30-something, gobby, dyed-black hair?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Mate, look, I can't discuss business like this.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Listen, mate, please just try and think about it, all right?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Who bought this from your shop? I just need to know.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It's policy. We don't reveal customer purchases.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01What do you want? Listen, I'll pay you. What do you want? 10, 20 quid?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Why is it so important?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It just is, all right? Will you...? I need to... I need to know.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Kids, can you shut up, please?!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Nice(!) They're only trying to earn a few pennies!- I know, I know. I...

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Nan?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20SHIRLEY DIALS NUMBER ON MOBILE
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Er... Lola's had to pop out for a bit.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34One of her friends has had a family crisis or something.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38She's like that, you know. She's always helping out, trying to...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40trying to do good.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Can you call her? Only she needs to be here.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Yeah. Yeah. Course I can.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Sorry. Be right back.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- See you soon. - Do you know what? You got lovely hands, you should be a hand model.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Hiya. All right, B?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Can I have a word?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Hiya. Erm...
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I've had a brainwave, OK? Quiz question.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Who ran to the top of a hill with a load of kids and started singing?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Erm...- Oh, erm... Mary Poppins!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- No.- No, the other one.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Oh, yeah, um... "The hills are alive." That... What's...?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Are you all right, Alfie? Do you want to sit down?- No, no, I'm good.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I want you to open the bag.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- What's in it?- It's money.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Well, it's as good as. What's in the bag will help you get your tree and baubles.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, Alfie, I don't know what to say.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39You don't have to say nothing, B.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44But you're going to have a good Christmas, all right?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- You come up with another plan? - I wish.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Why don't you get yourself over there, then?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Because it's just too much to handle.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I mean, the best thing I can do is also the worst thing.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Did you do this?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Yeah. Not long after Lexi was born.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22You forget, don't you, how tiny they are.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Maybe that's the best thing I can do -
0:18:24 > 0:18:27forget. That sounds like a plan.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You see this swing here?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Yeah.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35It's just a swing.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36It just sits here.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And mums, they come along and plonk their kids on it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42So?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43All mums do it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46It's part of the package.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Taking them to the swings.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Buying them an ice cream.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Reading a bedtime story.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58There's loads of things in that package...
0:19:00 > 0:19:02..and most of them I didn't do.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Couldn't be bothered.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07And do you know what...?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11This is a big "do you know what".
0:19:11 > 0:19:12..I wish that I had.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Cos I might be a different person.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Now I...I walk about half-empty.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Because all those things I missed out on I can't get back.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28So that's me, is it? You in 30 years?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29- That depends.- On?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30You.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Sometimes when you want things in life, you have to pay a price.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39A high price - way too high - but you pay them anyway.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42And you do this Phil's way...
0:19:44 > 0:19:45..he's going to own you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48He's going to own both of you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49He can try.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52That's better, bit of fighting talk.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56But I've had to fight. I've had to fight my whole life.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Then get yourself over there.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00The sooner he sees you're not a pushover, the better.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05I'm not saying this ain't going to be a fight and a half...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and I'm not saying you're going to win.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09But do you know what?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14It's about time somebody else did.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23So, Ian, Europe got back to you yet?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Zee, my war.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Sorry, did you say something?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's just I'm busy counting my takings here, you know.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Haven't got a calculator, have you? - Oh, Zee, look at that.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35He's still learning to count with his fingers.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Right, get ready to get busy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I've put your name down for all of these.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Well?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46This is...this is all volunteer work!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Yeah, well, you can still harass them.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- This is the best you could do? - I spent ages on the internet!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Oh, this is not what I was hoping for, Masood.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Oh, it's an e-mail from Shabnam.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Yeah, I forgot, your mate Rabiah wants her daughter Ayesha
0:21:00 > 0:21:02to come and stay here for a while.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Why?- I don't know, she said she'd tell you all that when she calls.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I thought we could put her up in AJ's room.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Oh! You've already agreed to this, haven't you?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14They've said they wanted to arrange some suitors for her down here.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Oh, did you hear that?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Rabiah wants my help.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Do you know what that means, Denise?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Yes, it means that my social standing is currently sky-high.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28People are asking for my help.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Zainab Masood is right back up where she belongs.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39- The new care plan is going to work just as well as the old one. - Can you elaborate, Mr Mitchell?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, I know me and Sharon ain't together any more,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46but in a funny kind of way that's going to help me getting to see Lexi more.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47No offence.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Sharon, I said no offence.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Oh, none taken.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57And... Well, and me and Lola, we're on the same page.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02When it comes to bringing up kids, I mean, a child,
0:22:02 > 0:22:07we're both really determined to make this a good and happy home, you know?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10In fact, you wouldn't find a better one anywhere.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16I've been a father before, and, well, I've loved every minute.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It won't be any different bringing up Lexi.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Back door was open. And I'm sorry -
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I had a few things to work out.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26But I'm ready to have my say now.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- < Yeah, cheers, mate. - CAR DOOR SLAMS
0:22:35 > 0:22:38CAR DRIVES AWAY
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Well, this meeting's been driving me mad.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Because, deep down...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05..I know I'm not good enough.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Lola?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08She...she don't mean that.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12But that just means I know what I have to do to prove myself to you.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14And I will. I swear.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I swear I'll be the best mum for Lexi.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Oh, Abi, I'm busy, I'm meant to be at work.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30See, Mum? Look.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33What on earth are you doing in here?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Earning a living.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You two need to talk.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- I've got work to do.- Me too.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- What? - Mum's terrified about Thursday.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00What's happening Thursday?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01She's getting her results!
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Well, go after her, then.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I would...
0:24:09 > 0:24:10but I'm a bit busy in here.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16You're happy with the new care plan?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And you want Lexi back?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Of course I do.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28What do you think you need to do to help make that happen?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Well, first I need to start by being a proper mum.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34And learn from all my mistakes, obviously.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35But that's where Phil comes in.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38He's a dad, and he's a really good dad
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and he'll help me.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Right, Mr Moon, no peeking...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- cos in here is your pressie.- Right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02But I might give you something later...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04cos I've missed you.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06SHE WHISPERS
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Where did you learn to speak like that, eh?- I pick things up.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Kat, sadly, no can do, not tonight. I've got to work through the night.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Get the Christmas market ready for tomorrow.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Fat Boy can help the boys. - I know, but I said I'd help too.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23All right.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I'll get more shifts at McKlunky's after school.- We look like girls.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- No, you don't, you look like angels. - Concentrate, boys!
0:25:54 > 0:25:55I need you out there on the street,

0:26:21 > 0:26:22Sorry, I didn't mean to be.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It's none of my business what you do, is it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Yeah, well, I ain't doing nothing, anyway.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Joey doesn't want me.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I was there on a plate, but truth is, he loves someone else.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47< Dad!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's working!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It was lovely to meet you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Don't ever do that to me again. Running off like that -
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- what do you think you're playing at? - Never mind that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Well, I do mind, cos we only just about scraped through that meeting.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10All you need to remember is she's my daughter, Phil.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13And if she comes to live with you, she comes on my terms, all right?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16No, I mean it, Phil.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I'm her mum and I always will be.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I thought you had a stall to sort out.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yeah, I'm going back there soon.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Kat, listen, about the pawn ticket...
0:27:37 > 0:27:38What pawn ticket?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You know, the one that was on the notice board.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Well, it's gone.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48- I don't know what you're talking about.- Yeah, you do - the pawn ticket, the ring.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Where did it go?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Oh, yeah! Yeah, sorry, I binned it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's not like we can afford it, anyway.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That means you'll never see it again.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Maybe I don't care.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- I know, but I thought that you... - We don't need it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03No?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Man in the moon...- Yes.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09..that's all I need.
