0:00:28 > 0:00:31Look at her. She's like a different person.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Yeah, well, it's too soon, she's not ready to be back.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- She needs to go back to the clinic, Dad.- Don't worry, I'll fix it.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39The bacon's a bit crispy round the edges.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40I've got to get going.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42What? Come on, Abs.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45When was the last time I cooked yous lot breakfast?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Well, I said I'd meet Jay, so...
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Abs, it's fine. See you later.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Bye.- They taught you cooking as well as sobriety at that clinic, did they?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Cora...
0:00:56 > 0:00:59What? I ain't pretending she's been on holiday.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Yeah. Yeah, they taught me loads of things, Nan.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06They taught me how to cope, how to deal with my feelings better.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- What about your mum? Does she know you're here?- Yeah.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Do me a favour. She's probably halfway to Walford by now.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15She'll be knocking at the door to drag you back.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17There's nothing there for me, Dad.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I'll call her later and she'll understand.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24No, she won't. She'll think the same as me - it's too soon.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25I need my life back, Dad.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Give her a chance.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I need to feel like me again. Please.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Oh, hello!- Hi.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I thought we were meeting at the market.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm just heading over there now to set up.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- I thought you might want to get a head start.- OK.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54Ooh, "Beauty"! Great name. Adds that touch of class, doesn't it?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Glad you think so. And hopefully by the time you've got rid of this lot,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the whole of Walford will agree.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Sorry? You want ME to post these through the letterboxes?
0:02:02 > 0:02:08- You don't mind?- Course not. You know, cos I'm a team player, so...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Glad to hear it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13What's that?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Well, let's put Beauty on the map, shall we?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Absolutely. See you later.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24OK, yeah, see you in a bit.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Sure you don't mind? I've got to be at the restaurant till late.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Yeah, it won't be the first time I've made tea for Bobby, will it?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Oh, Luce, before I forget, that's for you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What's this?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It's a discount card for the caff - you know, family only.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I thought you'd get use out of it, cos Janine likes her coffee.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Where are you going?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I planned it all with the counsellors at the clinic.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'm going to keep busy. I'm going to go for a run in the mornings,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and in the evenings sometimes too.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Lauren, I'd just prefer it if you stayed indoors, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Dad, you've got to stop this.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15You've got your own life to be dealing with. You and Kirsty.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18You were getting back together last night.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'm just glad I didn't walk in two seconds later.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Yeah, well, she ain't my priority now, is she? YOU are.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- PHONE RINGS - Hello, Max Branning.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Er, no, sorry, mate, I can't do that today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Well, I don't know, just take the motors somewhere else.- Dad!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Hang on.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38What are you doing throwing business away?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You flush all of a sudden, are you?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44They worked really hard with me at the clinic.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46They taught me how to control things,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50create routines. So you can do what you need to do.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Yeah, hello, mate. ..No, that's fine. No, I've changed my mind.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I'll be there in about a half-hour, yeah? OK, bye.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Right, now, promise me, all right? Please. Just stay here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I don't want you going out. Please?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13You can trust me.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- See you later.- See ya.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Keeping that chair warm for me?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I had a nice little chat with Janine this morning.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You know, reminded her how far back me and her go.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Mm. And she said what?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44"Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Now get back to work"?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47No more games, Lucy.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Now, that filing cabinet is in a right old state.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53So, how about you spend today giving it a proper clear-out, hmm?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Plough through some dusty filing cabinet just cos you tell me to?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Yep.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't think so.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I've been calling you all morning.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I know, I'm sorry. It's just... Lauren, I'm trying to sort her out.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Now I've got to run out, pick these motors up...
0:05:15 > 0:05:16You look done in.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I'm sorry, all right? I want us to talk. It's just Lauren, innit?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22She's not ready to be back here.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Look, your kids come first and Lauren needs you.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Me and you can wait.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Look, I'll persuade her to go back to the clinic
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and then we'll have all the time in the world, all right?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And what if she don't want to go back?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I'd better go. I'll see you later.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46B, it's me.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Um, look, I don't think we can put off doing these books much longer.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So I'll get started on them, yeah?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- You'll be all right on the stall on your own, won't you?- 'Yeah,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57'but it ain't like you to volunteer for a job like that.'
0:05:57 > 0:05:59No, no, I don't mind.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02All right, then, if you want to do it. I'll see you later.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Maybe we should get these to go, yeah? Take them home?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You've nothing to be ashamed of, Whit. Why not go and talk to her?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Cos she's busy. It's the play scheme interview thing today.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Sorry, I didn't know.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Don't matter. It's not your fault.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I messed it up, no-one else. - If you explain what happened,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'm sure she'll understand - she's really nice.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What, and make her feel sorry for me?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25No, I know Tyler's gone, I should be focusing on my career,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27but I don't need no-one's sympathy.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Right...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Fine. I am calling Janine.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Say hi from me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I popped into the caff earlier
0:06:43 > 0:06:45but Marie said you were working here now.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Er, yeah. I mean, there have been a lot of changes since you...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54..since you went away. You look better.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Yeah. Yeah, well...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I wasn't really looking my best the last time you saw me.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Do you want to do something later? Me, you, Whitney, the boys?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05At someone's house or...?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I was thinking we could go to the Vic.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Get the drinks in.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'm joking, Lucy.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14We can go to yours. Or mine.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17You can bring Joey if you want.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Um... Look, Lauren, me and Joey were never...
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I mean, we had a bit of a thing after you left but it's over now.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32OK. So what was all that before, then, Lucy?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Were you just trying to make me think
0:07:34 > 0:07:36that you two had something going on?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I don't know...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I just felt... I was just hurt, OK?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44I'm sorry.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50OK. Yeah, well, we weren't very fair on you either, were we?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Me and him. So...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56What time shall we meet at the Vic, then?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59First round's on you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Lauren, I am really happy that you're better, but...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm sorry.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Yeah. Yeah, you said that bit.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25OK, Janine said you have got to shred the old tenants' references
0:08:25 > 0:08:29after...AFTER you've separated them from the current ones, OK?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Come on.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Oh, baby... you've got some magic hands...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43And you can feel them any time you like once the salon opens...
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Is that a promise?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48You work out, don't you?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Well, I own a gym, don't I?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Hardly going to look like a sack of spuds.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Did you know that regular neck massage reduces the risk of injury?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I'll leave all the beautifying things to the women,
0:08:59 > 0:09:00if you know what I mean.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Real men look after themselves. But I'm guessing you know that.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08All right, then. Let's see what your hands can do.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Come on!- All right.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16All right? How long has that been going on?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Since this morning. She must have asked Lister for a temporary pitch.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Men, eh? Just weak, pathetic creatures.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Yep.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Lauren?
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Lauren?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Lauren!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So did you miss me, then?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah, course I did.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Right, we need a proper catch-up, don't we?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Me, you, Tyler as well.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Oh, Tyler ain't around.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00What? What happened?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Me and Tyler split up.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04He's gone to work on a cruise ship.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Oh, yeah, and Tony killed himself in prison. So nothing much.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10You know, you can't just come back here
0:10:10 > 0:10:12and expect things to be just the way you left them, Lauren.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Things change, people change, people move on -
0:10:15 > 0:10:18it's just the way it is, innit?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20How long you back for?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It depends who you ask.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25PHONE RINGS
0:10:36 > 0:10:39You were meant to meet me half an hour ago.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I had a few issues getting here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- What can I get you?- I didn't know a high-powered restaurateur like you
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- got involved with dishing out bacon butties.- I'm covering for Marie.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's what I call being a caring employer. What can I get you?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Coffee, please.- Why don't we sit down and talk business now?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I can't now, I'm busy. I've got some phone calls to make.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01We'll catch up in the office later.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Did these issues involve you getting a bus in this morning?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- You all right? Lauren ain't been in here, has she?- Course not.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15She's gone for a walkabout.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Calm down.- Is this the famous Lauren we're talking about?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- What's it to you?- Nothing, mate. I just saw her in the market.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You must be glad to have her back.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Mind your own business, yeah?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I can see why you're edgy, Kirst. A girl like that, off the rails,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34vulnerable. Must be hard to compete with it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35- You listen to me...- Max!
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Stay away from my family... You understand?- Max, please... Please.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Double rum on the rocks, when you're ready.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02The delivery man left the door open.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Is that for me?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- No, no...- I'm joking.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yeah, course.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Sorry... You... Lauren, you look...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Better?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Yeah, a little bit, yeah!- Yeah, I know, that's what everyone's saying.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Can I have a hug, then?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yeah. Yeah, course.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Oh! What's wrong with you, then?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You ain't got a girlfriend to be worrying about.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Yeah, I know, it's just...
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Do you really think you should be here with me?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Like...
0:12:48 > 0:12:50All that drama...with us.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Wasn't that all sort of part of the problem?
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Well, there is no "us" any more, is there? So that bit's sorted.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Well, look, I'm really, really glad you're doing so well, Lauren.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You can't even look at me, can you?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14OK, er, tell you what,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18why don't I just see you around or something, Joey?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Just a quick coffee to go, please, Marie. Thanks.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Morning, Ms Hartman!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Good afternoon, Tiffany.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Could you give my sister that job at the play scheme, please?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Hmm... Your sister chose to leave.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44So, sorry, Tiff.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And I've got five people to interview this afternoon,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49it's only fair I give them their chance.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Right, I've got three new-build apartments in Bow -
0:13:54 > 0:13:56the developers gone skint, he needs to get rid.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I've already knocked him down to a good price, so...
0:13:58 > 0:14:02PHONE RINGS Come on. That's the second big deal I've brought you in a week.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- It's got to be worth a look, innit? - All right, I will look into it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09But I'd better like what I see.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11For your sake.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17You need to call Dad. He's going mad looking for you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Why did you rush off this morning?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Why are you avoiding me?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Abi, stop.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Didn't you miss me?
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Course I missed you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Then, why are you acting like this?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Everyone that I thought I was coming back to,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37they're acting like they don't even know me.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38I don't get it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41You can tell I've not been drinking, can't you?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I thought you were going to die!
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Abi...- You cannot just stop drinking and everything goes back to normal.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54You hurt people. All those that you have been thinking about.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58You said things and did things, Lauren.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You almost broke us.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Come here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10I'm sorry.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14I have to go.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24You all right, Joey? Has Lauren been here?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- She was, yeah.- You didn't give her a drink, did you?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30No, course I didn't, Max! What do you take me for, eh?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32She just came in, she wanted to talk. That's all.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34So I kept my distance.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- What do you mean, kept your distance?- I ain't going back there.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I can't take that risk, can I?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Look, you and me, we're on the same side here.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48COMPUTER BEEPS
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Ladies, can I give you a flyer?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Denise, one for you?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Yeah, I know what it's like to be lumbered with the donkey work.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Ian's been treating me like a glorified skivvy lately.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Oh, you know, I don't mind. Anything to help out.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You've got really lovely cuticles.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I get that a lot.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Can I tempt you?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I've got magic potions here to make blokes look beautiful.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Course, you've got a head start.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Proper little charmer, ain't she, eh?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29What is she doing over there?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30It has been like this all day.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I think Phil's going to turn up for a leg wax in a minute.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Some birds, they will do anything for a bit of business.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40She'll wait a while if she thinks she can flirt ME into the chair!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Thanks.- Thank you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52Sadie, I think it might look to some of the other women that you're...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55well, that you're flirting just to get a bit of extra business.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Maybe that's cos I am.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Thing is, it's the women who are going to be our regular customers.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04So you don't want to get off on the wrong foot with them...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Thanks for the heads up, Poppy, but I know what I'm doing.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17How are you going to do that without these?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20What's up?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I've been looking for these all day.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Kat, I've got four kids, I can tell when someone's hiding something.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's nothing, honestly. It don't matter.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I ain't leaving this house until you drop the act
0:17:30 > 0:17:32and tell me, so you may as well get on with it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Ronnie's getting out. Sometime in the next month.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43They kept her in longer than expected.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Something to do with her conduct.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47That don't sound too good, does it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I never thought she'd come back here.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56But now there's a wedding, she's not going to miss that, is she?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58What does Alfie say about it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Anything he's got to say about Ronnie, he'll say it to her sister.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Yeah, well, it happened to you and him, didn't it, Kat?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Don't really matter who he marries, nothing's going to change that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Ms Hartman said she'd still consider you for a job at the play scheme.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Stop mucking about, please, Tiff. - She did! You're qualified now.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You just have to convince her that you really, really want the job.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28This ain't a joke, all right? That job meant a lot to me.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah? How much did it mean?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Ah, you're there. Billy said you'd taken lunch.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I'm on my way back now.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40No, no, it's fine. You deserve a break.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I've got to say, that filing system is the most functional
0:18:43 > 0:18:44it's been in a really long time.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46So, on that note,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50how about I give you something a little bit more challenging?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Are you serious?- Yeah. I want you to pick one of the businesses,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57put together a report on how to make it more efficient.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59There must be ways of saving money that I haven't noticed.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02And have it on my desk first thing tomorrow morning.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Take the rest of the day off if you want to work on it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You need to ring your dad.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I thought I could just stop the drinking and that would be it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34But...it's not that simple, is it?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38No, it's not. I'm with you there, darlin'.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43What if I can't make up for what's happened?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I thought that it was just about drying out
0:19:45 > 0:19:48and staying sober, but it's not, is it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I didn't think about what it'd be like coming back here
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and seeing everyone again.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Maybe Dad's right, you know.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Maybe I should go and stay with Mum.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Is that what you want?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05I'm just scared, Nan.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11I've known Whitney and Lucy since I was a kid.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14And they're looking at me like they don't even know me.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16So talk to them. Ring them up.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19They won't listen.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Keep trying.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Can I fit you in for an appointment at the salon when we open?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Nah. I'm allergic to cheap products.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I can fit you in for an appointment at Beauty if you like?
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Nah, it's not really my thing, that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Come for a drink with me later if you want.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Look after him, yeah?- Yeah.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I've just been driving about, looked everywhere I could think of.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Have you spoken to Tanya?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00No, course not. How can I tell her I don't know where Lauren is?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04What she's doing. She might be out there now, drinking.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07What if she comes through them doors in the next couple of minutes?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10What if she's fallen off the wagon? What then?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'll have to do what's best, won't I?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Even if it's not what she wants.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Sounds like you know what you should be doing, then, bruv.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Will you help me?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Quick coffee to take away, please, Marie.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Do you know you always come in here
0:21:30 > 0:21:34exactly ten minutes after the play scheme has finished?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Quite the little private eye, aren't you?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Nosy parker, my mum calls me.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Will you sit down, please?
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Listen to this.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53WHITNEY: 'This is the opportunity
0:21:53 > 0:21:57'I've been waiting for my whole life, Tiff. I know it's just a play scheme.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59'I know it ain't much, but to me it's everything.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02'It's working with kids, it's a chance to prove that I ain't
0:22:02 > 0:22:06'just stupid Whitney, I ain't some air-head with no qualifications.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09'I'm good at something. Really good.'
0:22:11 > 0:22:13She really wants that job, Ms Hartman.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Will you give her another chance? Please?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I want to say that I get it now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22You don't know who I am without a drink in my hand.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Neither do I.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Lauren, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just...
0:22:28 > 0:22:31No, I can't just come back here and expect everything to be the same.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I know. And I want to change.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38I don't want to be the one that just lets people down any more.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, do you know what? I weren't honest.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I weren't honest about me and Tyler.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I really hurt him.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I didn't mean to. Things didn't just happen.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55We split up because it was the best thing for both of us.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57But I tell you what, I do miss him.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, well, even if you hurt someone...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03even if you know that you don't deserve a second chance...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05you can't help but miss them, can you?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07PHONE RINGS
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Dad - for the hundredth time. All right, I'll see you later.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Um, are we going to see you?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Are you staying?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32So, what do you fancy? A drink, then dinner?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Maybe finish off the evening with a bit of a boogie?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Sorry, what?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Er... You don't flirt with a guy the way you were flirting with me
0:23:41 > 0:23:44and not be after a date.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Darlin', I could get that pint glass to think I fancied it
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- if there was something in it for me. - But...
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I've got a business to open.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53If that means that I'm going to flirt with a guy
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I wouldn't normally give the time of day to - that's you, by the way -
0:23:56 > 0:23:58then that's what I'm going to do. Get it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08So all that before...?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Just business.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13When you getting married again?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Ooh. I THINK...February.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18What's with the "I think"? As if you'd forget.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I think I know a salon you can get your hair done.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Sounds good. Put me down for an appointment, yeah?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- I've got a great idea for our first dance. A waltz...- No, no.- A tango?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Or the cha-cha.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31No, Alfie. Oh, shut up! I'm not doing the cha-cha with you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Right, over to you, Tess... - THEY LAUGH
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- You can't be here. - Yeah, it's not going to take long.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Lauren, please. I've already had your dad round here.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Me and you shouldn't be around each other.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Like that stopped us before.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Listen, what happened wasn't your fault, OK?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I was the girl that drank too much before you even knew me.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54It was a bit different, though, Lauren. How you were at the end...
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Yeah, and that was down to me. It wasn't your fault.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You did nothing wrong, all right?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'd be in prison if it wasn't for you.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07You were not the one that wrecked things, OK? That was me.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Yeah...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Come here.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Hiya, Whitney.- Hi.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I did those interviews today.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Met some really good people.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Serious, committed...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39amazing with the kids...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But not quite what I'm looking for.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46You are the best candidate for the job.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48So it's yours if you want it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Are you serious? Of course I want it!
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Thank you.- It's not me you should be hugging.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59It's Tiffany, who's been bugging me all day to give you another chance.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01She's all right, your sister.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03She's more than all right. Come here.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Thank you.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Luce! What are you doing here?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Well, I got to thinking, you know, how you were paying Carl
0:26:25 > 0:26:28and still managing to keep Janine's profits intact.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- So I checked the accounts on the computer at home.- You had no right!
0:26:31 > 0:26:33You had no right to calculate Janine's share
0:26:33 > 0:26:35after what you had to pay Carl.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37What else am I supposed to do? I'm barely scraping by here.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I'm pretty confident Janine's not going to think that's her problem.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Come on, you're not going to tell her, are you?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44It's not personal, Dad.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I should have had you working with me instead of handing out leaflets.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Let me make it up to you with a drink.- Yeah?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And take that T-shirt off, for goodness sake!
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Where have you been? You know how to put people through it, don't you?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Yeah, I'm sorry, all right? Listen, you and Dad, last night.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I ruined it, didn't I?
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Things would be easier for you if I weren't here. Tell me the truth.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Do you think I should stay here or not?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Recovery ain't easy.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26And you've got to be where you think you can make it work.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30And if it's here, then you've got my support.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Thank you.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Right, that's it, Lauren, I'm taking you back to the clinic. Now.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- What? No! No, you're not! - Lauren, get in the car.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51No! No. You're just scared, that's all.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53You think I've been drinking and I haven't.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- That's what I told him. - Cora, stay out of it, will ya?
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- I'm her nan!- Look, you were right. I can't just get my old life back.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I called Mum and I told her everything.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I told her I've left the clinic and I'm here.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06She weren't happy about it but I told her I'm staying.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08You shouldn't have told her that, Lauren.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm thinking of starting my college course again as well.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I've even been in touch with an alcohol counsellor,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15just like they told me to at the clinic.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I'm going to do whatever it takes. This is a new start.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's a new me, Dad.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22What if I say no?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Well, I'm not going back there.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26So if I'm not welcome in your house,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28then I'll just find somewhere else to stay.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31So what's it going to be, Dad?
