'Your call has been forwarded to the mobile voice mail service.

-'At the tone, please record your message.'

-BEEP

Luke, it's me again.

Give me a call back, or... Well, you know where I am.

Love you.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Stace, Kat's planning on going to see Janine.

-PHONE RINGS

-All right, all right...

All right.

-Kim's Palace.

-There's no hot water. Again!

Kim!

Are you coming home?

You've done what?!

-You got nothing sooner?

-What the hell are you thinking?

-Yeah, this afternoon's good.

-How's Janine going to help?

Stacey's right...

It's Moon. Kathleen Moon. Thank you.

Why are you doing this?

Cos if I can persuade her to change her story

and say you never attacked her, the police will drop the charges, yeah, and you're free to stay.

She's not going to admit she lied!

-That's what you think.

-Kat, this is Janine.

-If you tell her where I am...

-I'm not going to tell her where you are.

-She's going to call the police.

-So you want to go on the run for another three years,

-always jumping at your own shadow?

-Well, no...

-Or do you want me to talk to her, and just maybe...

-LILY:

-Mum...

Hang on!

Please don't, Kat.

Mum!

So what's your plan?

I'm going to appeal to her better nature.

She hasn't got a better nature.

I'll think of something.

Look, take Tommy to nursery,

and I'll get Whitney to look after him later till this is sorted out.

-I want to know what you're going to say.

-I don't know,

I don't even know if it's going to work.

All I know is I have to try something.

Here we are, then. Toast for you, and toast for you.

Plates? No?

Er...yeah, whatever. Shove up, let Daddy in.

So, have these guys had a good sleepover, then?

Yeah, slept straight through, didn't you?

Bet they wish it could be inset day every day.

-So, guys, what do you want to do today, then?

-I want to go to the zoo.

-Oh...

-We can't go to the zoo, darling, because...

It's shut today, because of...

Yeah, it's shut, but... we could go to the park

and feed the ducks.

Ducks are rubbish!

No, they're not rubbish!

I could lend you... if you want, mate?

No, thanks, it's all right. I'm going to pop in and see Sharon later,

see if she's got any work going at her new place.

BILLY LAUGHS Look what the funny man did!

Denise, next time you finish something...

-Oh... It's a box of cereal.

-No, it's Peter's favourite.

And he ain't living here any more.

What's all this about, she's got news, anyway?

It's better she tells you herself.

I'm meant to be opening up here.

I mean, Peter's room is still full of his stuff, right?

He probably hasn't had time to pick it up.

If you're leaving somewhere permanently, you don't keep a bolt hole.

-I mean, Jane's not keeping her flat in Cardiff.

-Ian!

RINGING ON COMPUTER

-Look, it's ringing.

-Oh...

# All the single ladies All the single ladies

# All the single ladies Put your hands up

# Oh-oh-ohhh

# Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

# If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

# On it, on it, on it... #

Hello...?

Tell me this is a wind-up.

Mrs Kimberley Fox-Hubbard does not wind people up, thank you very much.

All right, Ian?

-Yeah...

-I'm married!

What, to the man you met in the kebab queue?

I'm on a boat, Denise! How mad is that?

Me, on a boat, on the sea.

Whoo!

You've only met him five minutes!

Hi, Patrick!

-Kim, I don't think this is a good...

-Beat you two to it, didn't I? Yeah.

Ian, you can't keep a good girl waiting. She'll find somebody else.

Erm, isn't this a...bit premature?

No, darling. I think that's you.

I guess it ain't all that exciting for you, is it, D?

You know, with husband number four.

But when it feels right, it just...it feels right, innit?

Hey. Do you want to see my cabin? Or should I say my erm...bridal suite?

Right, come on, let me show you...

Right, I need to repair the boiler.

Can you BELIEVE...

There is no hot water.

Well, I'm sorry, Patrick, but I haven't got time,

so you're going to have to get the manual, in the kitchen drawer.

Erm, I'll be back this afternoon, darling.

You're not working today, Mother. OK?

You all right? Have you got, like, a cake for Dot?

-How is she?

-Good. She just rang about getting a fresh nightgown,

so I'm going to go and get some nice toiletries and stuff.

Can you tell her that I'll ring later?

Only I've been a bit busy with Alice and this trial coming up,

and David's taking me to chemo now.

That's...nice. Someone to go with you.

Yeah. How've you been doing?

Well, I've just got me energy back.

This time next week, I'm going to be wiped out again.

I'll fetch the nightie for you.

Raid her sherry cabinet, more like.

I wouldn't strip paint with that!

Tamwar...

I've got to work.

Go back and ask Dad where Deano is.

Six months ago, I had no-one.

Yes, you did, you had Tosh and a couple of black eyes.

Yeah, and I'd sit in that flat, get a call from Zsa Zsa every now and then...

-And I don't know why SHE bothered.

-Because sometimes kids remember that they've got parents.

I'm not going after him any more!

I ain't never going to forget that day you turned up out the blue.

Then try harder.

I don't want to!

I'm being serious, Shirl.

Could you be serious more quietly, please?

-And you. And you, Mick.

-Oh, what's he done now?

You've made me realise that you can't carry the past around with you.

-You've got to move on from it.

-Oh... Thank you, Vanessa Feltz.

And reconnect with those... who love you.

-That's lovely, Tina.

-Oh. And their wives.

Oh. Big group hug, then?

You want to see Deano, you go find him.

Bake him some biscuits.

Your sister just said some really, really lovely things.

But you know what, you might have to actually remind him of who you are, but you go, go on.

Go and "reconnect with people that love you". Cos right now, it ain't me.

Oh, great. First there's no hot water, now there's no breakfast.

I, er... I'm sorry about the hot water.

Breakfast will be ready in about five minutes.

Oh, yeah? We've been waiting for hours, man.

You know what? Breakfast's cancelled.

You're joking?

As a matter of fact, everything's cancelled.

I'm giving all of you half an hour to check out. OK?

-Look, I've paid up front...

-Look, just check out, NOW.

Now, everybody, check out! You hear me?

PHONE RINGS

Right, Alfie's here all day, and you've got my number, yeah?

Kat, please don't. Please, this is so dangerous.

I wish you'd never seen me. I wish you'd just got on a different bus.

Everything was fine.

If you didn't want to be found, how comes you was hiding just round the corner?

I know what I'm doing, Stace. You've just got to trust me.

And whatever happens today, Janine is not going to hurt you,

because I won't let her.

Thanks a lot.

So, you heard from the council?

Well, they haven't decided yet, but hopefully, after last week...

They ain't going to change their minds, are they?

Cos I can't get a salon job anywhere, and we definitely can't both be out of work.

All right. Hey...

-So, did you...?

-No. Nothing for a couple of months.

So, we are going to feed the ducks, aren't we?

I love ducks.

Ducks are boring.

-See ya later. PETER:

-See ya.

Look, why don't I talk to my dad?

You know, see if... he's got any jobs going.

You'd really do that for my pops?

Well, it'd get him out of the flat, wouldn't it?

Plus, give us some alone time.

TV ON

-She's going to do it, you know?

-Stace...

If anyone can persuade Janine, it's Kat.

If you thought it was that simple, you'd have come back years ago.

-LILY:

-Mum...!

I think she's missing Luke.

Stace...

You need to go. Today.

Mum!

Don't tell me you don't think about that sometimes.

Chucking everyone out?

If that market closes, I'll be locking everyone in!

It's no way to run a business, Patrick.

Maybe I don't want a business.

No? I've just had that Aleks say that you threw all the guests out.

-I was just saying...

-I thought you couldn't be bothered to look after the place...

I'm looking after Kim's share, thank you.

But she's got married.

Like that's going to last!

Look, you are not around.

I am 73 years old!

I don't want to be making up beds and cooking people breakfast...

Oh, come on, I thought you enjoyed it.

-Leave that now, man.

-Well, wash it up yourself, then!

Listen to me. It's one thing to be looking after that place while that girl goes on holiday -

now she's gone and got married, she'll never come back.

-She'll be back before she washes the confetti out her hair.

-And how long that will be?

Like I said, I'm 73 years old, I want shot of it!

That's my home.

Oh, no, it isn't.

-That is somewhere you could run away to in case you and Ian split up.

-Patrick!

What is it Ian said about Peter?

If you're leaving somewhere permanent, you don't keep a bolt hole, do you?

-I know it's not much...

-I don't want your money.

Kat's pregnant. She makes out she's tough, but she's not, Stace,

not with babies.

You know, a few weeks ago, we had a scare, and...

and the stress of all this,

I'm frightened it'll happen again. I'm not risking it.

Can't I even say goodbye?

Stacey, you know if you stay for that, she's not going to let you leave.

I need to protect my family.

If you didn't, you wouldn't deserve 'em.

Look, I'm going to give you some space, let you can pack your bags.

All right?

Stacey, I am sorry. Come here.

Good luck.

I just don't get why she wouldn't want to find him.

Do you want sugar in that?

No, thanks. Well, it's nice to see you back here, Sonia. How's Martin?

Yeah, he's all right. Got a bit of time off this week so I can help in here with Mum.

-Her AND Dot. Good job you're near.

-We do what we can, don't we?

He's her son! Dad clearly knows where he is.

Well, not everyone's maternal, are they?

She brought ME up, you know.

See you later.

Call your dad. Get the address.

Look, Mum getting ill... You have to grab life with both hands.

Make happen what YOU want to make happen.

If you love someone, or you miss someone, let them know.

I never said I'd visit. I thought you said when you needed help,

you meant like a call or something...

She's all alone, Tam. Janine's got everything -

fancy lawyers, a whole team. Alice has got nothing.

Somehow I've still got a job. So I don't think I can get the time off.

No, you can't.

You're on a final warning after last week's little revolution.

Right now you've got about 30 seconds to get yourself back out there.

(I'm sorry.)

Unless you want to... sit down in the aisle?

Listen, you can go one evening.

-Me and Alice never really took off.

-You're a lovely man, Tam.

You were the last good thing in her life.

Everyone needs hope.

Please.

Come on, darling, it's time to go.

Mummy, I'm not feeling well.

Oh, you're boiling up.

Billy Mitchell waiting tables?

Yeah. Just a couple of shifts.

I bet he can't even use a knife and fork properly.

Come on. It's you that always says it's a family business.

He's not family!

He's Lola's grandad.

Has he got you to come round here begging on his behalf?

I bet you run that house.

Reckon he's got you picking up all the dirty socks

and clearing up the dirty plates.

What is it, trouble in paradise?

Look, he's just a man who's down on his luck.

I thought that you might remember what that felt like.

Come on, Kat. Pick up!

PHONE RINGS

LILY COUGHS

-All right?

-All right. I just had a word with my

-dad. And?

-And you can start tonight.

-Yes!

Oh, that's brilliant!

Look...

Could I interest madam in today's wine list?

Erm... Oh, yes, I'll have your most expensive bottle, please.

Certainly.

May I recommend tonight's special, which I believe is lobster

with oysters, cooked with champagne.

Erm, it's at the chippy.

Yeah... Obviously, I knew that.

I was just...playing.

I'm just going to...see to the kids. Thanks.

Look at the both of us, no?

Working to make ends meet, at our age.

Least you got Denise and Kim.

Kim got married.

What?

She won't be back.

And Denise, I kind of blew it with her, you know.

I've got three daughters in three different cities.

Most weeks, I don't even get a phone call.

Did you pick up Grandma Dot's stuff?

-Oh, sorry, darling...

-Oh, don't even bother. I'll go get it.

Cora, you...you think I was rash?

Tell me, you think I'm letting the girls down?

Dot...?

Dot?

Come to gloat, yeah?

No...

Well, I haven't seen Alice since I got in here,

so whatever you've got to say about her, I'm not interested.

I got a call.

From Stacey.

Lily's got a temperature.

What are you doing? Why are you in my grandma's kitchen?

I needed medicine. And I can't go to the doctor, I can't even go to the shops,

-I just thought that Dot might...

-I thought you weren't staying here?

I'm not. I'm not.

Lauren, please.

Please, Lily's next door, she's boiling hot.

Please just let me give her this, and we'll go.

Lauren, I'm sorry, I was on my way...

Stacey?

Stacey.

I'm Tanya's mum.

I don't think we've been introduced.

But I know all about you.

Look, I know you don't owe anything.

And you probably hate my guts.

And you'll probably think this is crazy, cos Alfie does.

But you and me, we're connected.

Our kids shared a dad, you're a mum.

Stacey called me from Mexico

and...she just wants to be with her family.

If you could be with Scarlett...

I want you to retract your statement. About her stabbing you.

You could say...

you got it wrong, you got confused.

You thought your husband was leaving you and you was upset.

Please, Janine.

Three years she's been out there, in the world on her own.

She's paid.

She deserves to come home.

So why now? After all this time?

I'm pregnant again. With twins.

And I just want her near.

Like I said, she called me from Mexico, and...

Stop.

You're lying.

And now Tanya's gone. Is that why you've come back?

-Come on, you can't blame that on the girl.

-I need to get back to Lily.

You're what went wrong with my family.

Sleeping with your fiance's father!

-Nan...

-Please, she's my daughter and she needs me.

-Let's see what the police have to say, shall we?

-No, no, don't call the police.

She's got a girl who needs her. Let her go.

-She tried to kill a woman.

-Nan, just get out. Just get out, please.

-And leave you with her?

-Yes! I found her, I'll deal with her.

Cora. Let's go.

Thank you, Patrick. Just don't say anything about this, all right?

-I'm just going to give this to Lily, and we'll be gone.

-No...

No, you're not going anywhere.

You've got it wrong.

So I'm on remand for murder. My word against Alice's.

This ain't about Alice.

And because I'm meant to feel for you, with your twins,

you want me to tell the world I'm a liar.

-Not a liar...

-Well, an "unreliable witness".

That's not what I'm saying.

So what ARE you saying?

And why don't I just call the police?

And what will they do?

Well, they'd arrest Stacey.

She'd get banged up.

And then it would be proved, in court,

that I'm a RELIABLE witness.

I told you, I don't know where she is.

I thought you said she was in Mexico.

I don't know where, though. She called from a withheld number.

Oh...

Well, I bet she's at that house of yours, upstairs, hiding.

Like she used to with Ryan.

-I told you...

-And I heard you.

And I will think about retracting my statement.

But I want Stacey to come here and ask me herself first.

Face to face.

BELL RINGS

If you're going to call the police, just give me five minutes, please.

-I'm sorry.

-I'll just give Lily this, honestly...

I'm sorry about what I did with Janine.

You, talking about killing Archie.

-It's OK.

-No. No, It's not, though, is it? It's not.

I thought you were so, so wrong,

and I was so right...

And I was angry. I was angry at you.

And I was angry at my dad

and then I saw you both together and I...

I was just a stupid, jealous little kid and I...

I didn't know anything

and now I've ruined your life.

And I've ruined Lily's life as well and I'm so sorry about that.

Lauren...

Lauren, me and Max, we really hurt you.

Did you, erm...

My dad, did you love him?

Yeah. At the time.

But I don't expect you to ever understand how me and your dad happened, but...

What you did, it wasn't for me to judge you.

I was thinking as well...

..if I hadn't have let everyone know that Christmas about you and my dad...

..you and Bradley might...

You know? Maybe... maybe if Bradley never knew...

Maybe is a really big word.

He loved you.

He forgave you.

I loved him.

I'll always love him, there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about him.

He sacrificed himself for you.

He died trying to protect you.

And if you're always living in fear,

if you're always running, scared,

always looking over your shoulder, well...

..then Bradley died for nothing.

I'm...I'm sorry.

Me too.

You and Kim. You're like my daughters.

I'll do anything, anything at all, I'll...

I'll keep that place open.

No. No, it's too much for you.

Look, I said things earlier on that I...

No, come on, Patrick, you were right.

You always are.

And you know me better than anyone else does.

It's just...keeping that place on, you know, keeping my room

just seems to makes everything a little less...scary.

Nothing wrong with being scared, you know.

I know, but if I'm going to... if I'm going to do this,

if I'm to make things work, with Ian, then, you know...

I've got to do it properly.

There'll always be a room there for you, you know that.

Right, well...

I've rung Kim, and...and yes, well, we did have a few choice words

about this ridiculous marriage, but...

I think you're right.

We need to close the B&B.

We never get to do this any more. Me and you.

Some time alone.

Yeah, well, we're doing it now, aren't we?

-Whoops...

-Pops!

-'Scuse I.

Spent the whole bus journey asking when they can come back again.

Aren't you meant to be at work?

Nah, your dad said start tomorrow.

LEXI CRIES

-She'll stop in a minute...

-Lo, go and see her.

-Yeah, but, Pops...

-Go on.

Good girl.

BILLY SIGHS CONTENTEDLY AND LAUGHS AT TV

Stick the kettle on, Pete.

BILLY LAUGHS

What do you mean, you told her to go?

-No, it's not like...

-You just said you told her to go!

Kat, listen to me, all right?

-Stace...?

-Kat, listen to me.

Kat, listen.

She's gone, all right?

What have you done?

Kat...

How did the visit go?

Don't worry, we'll think of something else.

Why, what happened?

Janine said she'll drop the charges if you ask her in person.

-We'll find another way...

-I'll do it.

I'm not running any more -

if I have to face Janine, then I'll do it.
