Happy Valentine's!

HE LAUGHS Happy Valentine's.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to get anything.

Baby brain. Don't worry about it.

That's from me, and that's from the other man in your life!

That's great, innit? It's lovely.

"To the best mum, love from Tommy."

How did we get here, eh? What do you want to do later - lunch, dinner,

both, everything?

Whatever. Brilliant. Sounds great. All right.

Kat... What's these?

Bianca gave me a spare set, in case she has to disappear with Carol

and she needs a hand with the kids.

That's a good call. It must be tough on them. Yeah.

I'd better get going. Right, see you later.

H-E-G-E-M-O-N-Y, hegemony.

If I win and beat Tiff, I get in the school team.

That's brilliant!

Another word, Dad.

Valentines. Too easy.

V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E-S, Valentines.

Well done. Come on, let's get off. Good luck.

S-Y-L-L-E-P-S-I-S. Syllepsis.

I appreciate you want the distraction...

It's not a distraction.

And I don't need Bianca telling tales behind my back. She's not.

And I don't need you fussing over me.

Oh, so first you ask me to marry you, now you're laying down the law.

I can't let her stay in prison.

I know you can't.

Coffee, please, Carol. All right, Dan?

Very nice! They for me?

Maybe next year!

See, that's where I'm going wrong -

I never bought you a big, white, fluffy bear. Day's not over yet.

Some flowers for the most beautiful girl in Walford.

Thank you.

Next Valentine's, I can bring you breakfast in bed in our own place.

Hey! Hello! You left before I could give you this.

4am is a bit much, innit, even on Valentine's Day?

Thank you. I found my present.

I just wish I could have stayed in bed

and given you your other present.

If you buy me a drink at lunch,

I might see what I can do for tonight. Deal!

See ya. Say bye! See you later.

Here.

Lucy...

I don't get it.

There's nothing to get.

They're Belgian. Your usual get-out-of-jail card, then?

I was trying to do what was best. Best for who?

For us, for the restaurant.

Turning your back on that market, that ain't the way.

I'm not turning my back on anything.

If we can save the market, great -

I'll find some other way of paying Janine.

Come on, let's not fight, not on Valentine's Day.

No more sneaking about with Aleks and that councillor.

I promise. Today's about treating you how you deserve.

Belgian, you say?

Handmade.

I've got loads of prep to do at the restaurant.

Fats is there on his own. I need to get back.

But I'll be back in a little bit, with a treat. All right?

Truce?

Truce.

Hey, Tam told me. Forget about him. I don't want to talk about it.

You deserve better than some creep off the internet. Please...leave it.

Oh!

A Valentine's card.

Good job one of us is popular. Who's it from?

I don't know. It's not for me.

Oh, Dad...

Something you want to tell me?

I'm running late. Shabnam...! Move!

I'm popping out in a bit - there's a meeting about the market.

What you like at woodwork? What you on about?

This weather - might need to build an ark.

Says here the Thames is breaking her banks all over the gaff.

Not here, though?

Who knows?

Some people have lost everything, bless them. Aw.

Don't look like it's going to let up either.

I'll bring your coffee down. Ta, baby.

Coffee to take out, please, Carol.

Did you go? It wasn't Stacey.

Right. Came to a dead end.

Coffee, Kat.

Cheers.

Maybe it's for the best.

The full works, please, sweetheart.

Like I said, the past - sometimes it needs to stay in the past.

You all right?

Fancy joining me for Valentine's brekkie before I get back

to the bathroom grouting?!

I'd better get going. All right. I'll get that. Cheers.

Max, I just want to say thanks for taking Kat to the scan.

That's all right, mate.

No, I should have been there. These things happen.

I appreciate you looking out for her,

it's good to know she's got mates. Yeah, any time.

Right, catch you later.

Yeah. I'll definitely... catch you later.

He owns a restaurant and he forgets to order milk.

Maybe he's got other things on his mind.

Thank you.

So... You heard from him?

I don't how he got my address.

But if he thinks I am that desperate...

And you're sure it's from him?

There's hardly anybody else in my life.

You never know. No, I'm destined for creeps and no-hopers.

Right. Well, listen, happy Valentine's Day.

Hey, we should form a club - Single And Desperate.

Yeah. Sounds fun.

Your coffee's here. Thanks, darling.

You've bought me a card!

It's Valentine's, stupid.

I know, it's just...

You know, we don't... Well, I HAVE.

And that's just for starters.

I feel a bit bad now. We don't normally do cards.

Well, this year I have. Happy Valentine's.

I'll be back before the rush.

Oh, hold up! I've got something for you.

What, what you got?

Couldn't just whack this out the front, could you?

Should be a cracking Valentine's, eh?

Shouldn't it just.

Hello?

Anyone here?

You heard what happened at Alice's plea hearing?

Yes, I did.

I'm getting some people together who she's close to,

see if there's anything we can do.

I'm not sure I can get involved.

Er, she's been asking about you.

She'd really love to see you.

She chose Michael over me.

He manipulated her. You two used to be really close.

I know people have got you wrong over this market stuff.

Too quick to judge - that's the trouble with them.

Please.

I can't, I'm sorry.

DOOR BUZZER

Hello?

Hi... I'm from agency - you booked a cleaner?

Yes, there's been a bit of a mix-up...

I was told to come today by Jenny?

Well, I'm Jenny, and we don't need anyone now, it's all been sorted.

I was booked.

Well, you're unbooked. Thank you.

Right, everyone knows what jobs they're doing.

We get the petition going, contact the local papers

and see about setting up that fighting fund. Yes, Boss.

We need to hold these meetings at night -

none of us can afford to skive off work.

It's like Piccadilly Circus. Oooh!

# Love is in the air! #

Aw, someone's a very lucky girl. It's nice to be treated properly.

Is there any other way?

DOOR OPENS Who's that? What are YOU doing back?

I thought I'd do us some lunch.

Well, if you're doing bacon, I'll take mine crispy.

I've obviously not got Mick well trained enough.

You've got to be like that with blokes - keep them on a tight leash.

Could you put some of these in the restaurant?

Yeah, leave them on the table.

Right, so we'll keep in touch about when we're next meeting.

OK, all right. Bye, darling. Bye. See ya. Cheers. Thank you.

Denise! Yeah? I would tread a bit carefully. What?

With Ian. I might have said something. What?

I wasn't meaning to listen... Listen to what?

..when you told Patrick... about the...kiss.

I was upset and wasn't thinking... I tried to tell him you loved him...

I'm sorry.

I'll crack on with lunch.

Great.

So here we are... Just us.

Yep, and that's how it's going to be soon - just us.

Unless there's something you want to tell me?

Like what?

I don't know, nothing you're hiding?

No! Look, we're good, me and you.

Scout's honour -

and, yes... Yes, I was a Scout.

So you're not the Walford Wonder?

The what? Don't start, Danny.

It's not what you think it is. No, of course not.

I've seen your texts, I've seen that you were cruising online.

What, is this Johnny?

He's just jealous.

He kissed me once, when he was drunk.

The web thing, it's just a bit of messing about, a bit of fun.

So that's what WE are? Are we just a bit of fun too?

No, you're the one I want to be with.

It was nothing. Nothing happened.

How am I supposed to believe you?

Cos it's true.

You mean everything to me.

Everything? Yeah.

So if I didn't have Janine's money, then you'd still want to be with me?

Of course.

Lucy...

I mean everything to you, do I?

PEOPLE CHAT AND CHEER

You stupid cow! I've finally seen who you really are!

Happy Valentine's Day!

You piece of scum! Take the money and go!

If that was me, you'd be leaving with more than your pride hurting.

You've got me wrong, the only cash I want is you.

Go, or I'll call the police and tell them everything.

The Walford Wonder.

The only "wonder" about you,

is how it took everybody so long

to see what you really are.

At least I know what I am.

Do you?

There she is, my beautiful girl. Look, we've got all your favourites.

We got paneer-stuffed peppers, gujias, kachoris... Dad...

If they're too daft to see how beautiful you are... Thank you.

No more tears over that idiot.

The past is the past, for all of us.

Tam?

You going to join in?

Thanks, but I'm meeting Dexter at the pub.

You know what we need to do?

Aside from me going out

and being the most-hated single man in Walford?

We need to get Dad back into the community.

Hello?

Ah, you're here!

Yeah, I've only just arrived.

I've snuck off work early to make Jenny a surprise Valentine's lunch.

Did you find all the cleaning stuff all right? Yeah.

Hope you haven't spent too long on the kitchen,

I'm about to make it look like a bombsite. Jamie Oliver I am not.

But it's the thought that counts, isn't it?

That's what you women always tell us.

Yeah, it's the thought that counts.

This is wonderful.

Good.

You've gone to a lot of trouble.

You not hungry?

No, not really.

I was thinking, you're right,

we need to get things moving, fix a date,

get those invites sent out...

I know.

Know what?

I know about you kissing someone.

Shabnam heard you talking about...

Shabnam! For goodness's sake, Ian!

What, I kissed a bloke?! What bloke?

I don't know - you tell me.

Well, I can't, if it never happened.

So she's making it up?

Or got the wrong end of the stick.

Oh, look, me and Patrick were talking about the wedding,

and me asking him to give me away...

And you telling him that you kissed someone? No!

We were talking about how right it feels.

Me and you.

So where did she get "kissing" from?

Oh, I dunno, she's not exactly the most focussed woman in the world!

She was upset about this date that went wrong and...

Ian...

Ian, come on, I promise you.

Whatever Shabnam has told you, it never happened.

Two-for-one drinks courtesy of Danny. Nice one!

I got you something else.

You already gave me a present.

Well, I'm giving you another one.

Earrings!

They're tiny.

MUSIC STARTS I thought you might like a change.

Oh, well, they're...nice.

# I feel it in my fingers... #

CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

Well, they sound like they're having fun.

Shall we go and join them?

Oh, I can't play darts.

It's all right, neither can they.

Peter?

I thought we were going for lunch?

You don't want to miss out on the cheap drinks! Come on.

Here you go. From Danny.

Slimeball. It was nice of him to buy us all a drink, though.

Nancy! Bar!

See, some women, sitting about being spoilt rotten -

where's the fun in that?

Good job I love you, Mick Carter.

Mr Moon. What can I get you?

You've not seen Kat, have you?

No, she ain't been in. She joining you, is she?

That's the plan.

What time you expecting...Jenny? What time is she back?

Soon. But hopefully not until I've finished cooking this.

What sort of work do you do then, that you can just skive off?

I work in the City.

You one of them bankers that robbed us?

Not guilty.

The only bonus I get is being able to sneak off early on a Friday.

That is not how it's supposed to look, is it?

Here, let me help.

You good at beef Wellington?

No, but I can make a damn good pie. Do you cook for the family?

Not as much as I should.

This is kind of a double celebration -

Jenny's just got herself a job as a colourist in the hairdresser's.

That's good.

So, er,

if you wouldn't mind helping, I'd be eternally grateful.

PHONE RINGS

Hello, babe.

No, I'm stuck at work.

Oh, I might just get us a takeaway or something.

I know it's Valentine's, and the work thing...

but do you mind if we don't do anything?

It's just, I'm shattered, if I'm honest...

Love you too. Laters.

Hook, line and sinker.

I'm going to go, and get out your way.

And leave me with a half-finished pie?

Dad! Yeah?

Ah, thank you. I was thinking, we should go shopping,

get you some new clothes. Shopping?

Get some smart things, in case you want to go out or something.

LETTERBOX RATTLES

Oh, for goodness' sake!

Back off, sleaze-ball!

You?

Yeah.

It doesn't mean anything...

You know? It's just a card.

"Not from the idiot but from someone who cares"?

The other one was from you?

Yep.

You send me two cards because you feel sorry for me?

I just thought maybe...

Oh, so not because you like me, then?

I just didn't like seeing you hurt.

The local charity chase.

It's just as well you didn't mean it. Why?

You're not Muslim.

Oh.

Yeah.

Thanks for the thought, though.

It's cool.

You put something in those nuts?!

I'm saying nothing.

114 - Tam, what do you reckon? What to win it?

I don't really know. I've never been good at sport.

You playing? I'm more of a spectator.

Come on, get a big score... It's not about big scores in darts.

Don't worry, I'm good at finishing an' all.

Rubbish!

Go on, Tam, have a game, play with Nancy.

I think she's out of my league.

Shall we get out of here?

Where we going?

It's Valentine's Day, I reckon someone could use some TLC.

Where you taking me?

I meant Lucy.

I knew that.

Whit... Shut up, it was a joke!

What's wrong with Lucy anyway? She broke up with Danny -

or should I say the Walford Wonder?

No way!

Barrel needs changing.

What's rattled YOUR cage?

I know you're not big on Valentine's but a card would have been nice.

Oh, is that right? Let's just say I might have a plan

to make up for not buying you a bear or a bunch of flowers.

What is it?

No, you can wait till next week.

Next WEEK? What do you mean, next week?

What can I get you, my love?

Two lagers, please. Two lagers.

HE HUMS A TUNE

It's just so frustrating, now Janine's got this top lawyer.

Just leave it. Dad's got a nice dinner waiting for you

when you get home. Yeah. I'm sorry.

Carol? I'm tired and I want to go home.

I'm not sure what I can do, and I don't know if you still need me,

but seeing as she's the only one round here who doesn't hate me,

I'd like to help Alice.

Thank you.

Abs, is your old man about?

Is he at the car lot?

No, he's away for the day - he's at an auction, I think.

So where did you meet her?

On holiday, in Mexico. Mexico?

Bit of a whirlwind romance.

She ended up coming back with me. Been together ever since.

What, here in North London?

Yep, me working in the City, now Jenny's got this new job...

hence us needing a cleaner.

One thing she hates is cleaning.

Same old Stacey.

Stacey?

I meant my cousin Stacey... PHONE RINGS

What do you want?

To know where you are would be a start.

Yeah, I'm busy.

Look, do you mind having a bit of a clear-up, yeah?

Who's there with you? It's no-one. I've got to go, I'll call you later.

Kat... Kat...

Go away.

Come on, no hiding on Valentine's Day.

We bought chocolate and ice-cream.

Which we bought with some of that money you chucked out the window.

He really didn't love me, did he?

Better you found out now rather than later, eh?

Besides,

I only brought three spoons.

What agency did you say you were from again?

The one you booked me from.

Oh, really?

Cos I was just on to them.

They said they sent a cleaner today, who was sent home by Jenny.

I won the spelling bee! I beat Tiff!

SHE SQUEALS Get you!

I'm on the school team for next week! That's fantastic!

Lucy's doing your tea, I've got to go work.

Yeah, me too. Busy, busy.

I love you.

I love you too.

Last chance, tell me who you are and what you're doing here

or I call the police. I'm a cleaner! Stop it! What are you doing here?

Nothing, I promise. Look, I'm sorry.

Keys. I haven't nicked anything, I swear, or anything like that...

I'm phoning the police right now.
