THUNDER

You coming, Stace? Prize for the best costume.

Yeah, what's the prize?

Thought you were having your own Russell?

It's like looking in the mirror!

That's rich! Coming from The Witch of Walford.

I'll try and pop in later before last orders, yeah?

In answer to your question,

the prize is a double massage from these two.

They use their trotters and everything. Imagine it, imagine it!

That is so romantic!

'Course we'll help you out.

But it's top secret. What's top secret? Ooh... Nothing.

Do you want anything, or...? No, I've dropped Lily to Sadie Ann's

and I'm just going to decorate the flat.

Can you not forget the pumpkin, please? I won't forget!

Here, Stace, you're just in time for a bargain.

I've got a skeleton, tombstones, garlands, got it all.

You could decorate your garden like a graveyard or something.

I ain't got a garden. Who do you think I am, The Duchess of Windsor?

Come on, Stace. I've got to get rid of this stock.

I suppose I could do with some of the lights.

You are coming later, ain't you?

Is Fats going?

Yeah, he's gonna do the music. Oh, come on.

It gives you a chance to dress up,

you know, show him what he's missing.

Yeah, all right. I'll see what I can muster up.

I'll pay you tomorrow, yeah? All right.

I'm looking forward to tonight, Stace! Yeah.

PHONE RINGS

Go away!

No. I've never had PPI. just leave me alone, all right?

Parasites.

Bobby!

Oh...

What you doing jumping out from behind the door like that?! What's happened? Him.

He's hiding behind the door with that thing in his hand.

Look, it's plastic. It was only a joke!

I'll give you a joke in a minute.

Now get to your room. And no trick or treating for you tonight! You can't do that!

Oh, I can, and I will.

You do not scare your Gran like that.

This is why you're not trick or treating. Cos you don't think.

Chill your beans, Mum.

Chill my beans?! Get up them stairs now.

Mum, I'm sorry.

He was only playing.

Maybe it's best if one of us stays in with him tonight.

No honestly, it's fine. Ben's popping over.

It's gonna be just me and the boys.

I was really looking forward to it.

OK. If you're sure.

Bobby, I want another word.

Look, I'm just jittery, that's all.

I know, but you don't need to be, all right? Gavin's gone.

Ben saw him get on that train and go.

We don't know that for sure.

Mum, I wouldn't leave you and Bobby here on your own if I didn't think it was safe, OK?

Anyway, you've got your button. One press of that and the police'll be here in a flash.

You'll be all right on your own with Denny tonight, yeah?

Why wouldn't I be?

Jay, I told you to get rid of them fireworks.

I didn't wanna leave them outside in case it rained. I don't care.

I don't want them in the house with Denny around. All right, I'll sort it. Thank you.

Dad, you don't mind if I sit with Mum later, do you?

I can always come back and check in on you.

Check in on me? Do me a favour. Come on, I didn't mean anything...

Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame cos you got rid of Gavin,

but let's make sure you got rid of him first.

So you admit it. You're still worried about him coming back.

I never said that. So why's that panic thing still in your pocket?

Dad, come on, don't be ridiculous. Just get out.

Out.

What do you reckon, boy?

See, you're a Munster and you don't even know it yet.

Love it. I love it.

The old team back together.

You know, you're still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

And you.

KNOCK ON DOOR

You come to check up on me, have you?

No. I was on my way to Stacey's and I thought I'd come and say hi.

I thought you didn't want us to go Stacey's tonight?

Well, you haven't really been talking to me,

so I don't know what's going on tonight.

You're the one who wanted me to focus more on work.

I don't know why you're being so off with me.

If anything, it should be the other way around.

Oh, really? How's that?

Because you said I was acting like your mum. You was.

I don't wanna stop you from having fun,

but when you drink yourself stupid,

we both know it's not because it's fun.

Do what you want tonight.

You was fine two minutes ago.

I was up with Ollie till one, back up at three, then again at half five.

Oi, I offered to get up. It's not a dig, I'm just shattered.

All I want is to put my feet up in front of the telly with a nice

glass of rose blush and watch catty housewives shouting at each other.

Is that too much to ask?

So you're blowing me out, Nancy's blowing me out,

Lee's blowing me out.

I'm getting blown out left, right and centre.

I told you weeks ago that Tam was taking me to that new cinema.

He's paid extra for like reclining seats.

Well, have a lovely little time, won't you? Copping for each other in the back row. Pop!

I might as well go as Orphan Annie, really.

I'd pay so much money to see that.

Mum, can you take him? I need to go toilet.

If you're that bothered, find someone else to be your Lily Munster.

Oh, is that what you want? I don't mind.

Really? Really.

All right. Maybe I will.

Maybe I will.

Oh, please, Ben! We could easily win Best Dressed.

What's so great about Edward and Bella from Twilight?

Not even three weeks ago we sat here together and watched those films.

You weren't asking what was so great then when you cried at their wedding. Shut up, I didn't cry!

You'll both be crying in a minute if you don't get out of my living room. PHONE RINGS

Get that for me, will you? Got it!

Listen, I've told Mum I'd sit with her anyway.

Why do you have to sit with her? Gavin's gone, ain't he?

Yeah, but...

Look, I know it's not your fault.

I just hate what he's doing to this family.

I swear, if you two don't...

It's Marsden on the phone. She's got news on Gavin.

I mean, listen, I could if it was helping.

Who says you get to do it?!

You don't think you're Mrs Munster material? Why not?

No offence, but neither of you are going to fit into Linda's costume.

Back in the day I would have. Did you know that I was once mistaken for Christine Keeler

in the chemist? Yeah, yeah, we know about that one.

And I was mistaken for Kate Moss at the Co-Op.

I know, why don't you make a competition of it?

Whoever makes the best outfit gets to be Mick's Lily.

I can't make time now. I'm halfway through my toxic trifle.

Toxic trifle?

I'm using kiwi instead of cherries. Makes it green.

All of your trifles taste toxic to me.

Or maybe it's your breath. Easy, treacles, easy.

Mick, I'm in. If she can't stand the heat...

I work in a pub kitchen! I live and breathe heat.

I always knew you were a dragon.

Oh, I'm gonna enjoy watching you lose.

Kent Police think they've had a sighting of Gavin at Dover.

So he's planning on leaving the country? What did I tell you?

They've got an operation at the ports to try and stop him.

Well, that's great news.

Thanks, Ben. Well done, Ben. You were right all along, Ben.

Oh, I believed you. Well, maybe you should go and tell your mum.

Let her sweat a few more hours.

Then she'll let you go to the pub with me tonight. MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Well, yeah, but... OK, cool! I'll get our costumes.

Ronnie? Yeah, thanks for helping tonight.

No, Kim definitely won't be there.

I'm on my way, OK?

Well, go on then.

Run along and see Mummy.

Whit!

Whit, come here a minute. What?

Come here. Come and have a look at this. Look.

Look.

Oh...

What am I looking for?

Er, nothing. Nothing, no...

Did you hear from Lee? Yeah, I did actually.

He texted me saying he'll spend the night with me.

It's too little, too late if you ask me.

Oh, don't tell me these don't work! Where'd you get 'em?

Dodgy Donna. There you go.

Hang on, Martin's got a tool box.

Yeah, I bet he has, with feet that big.

Dirty cow! Has he...? Ooh!

That's funny.

Oh, it's huge.

What is that?

Love the costume, Bex. Very spooky.

This isn't my costume.

No? Oh.

Well...I like it.

You wanted to talk?

Yeah. Right. Um, so, basically, your mum.

She's... Well, she's a lesbian. I'd noticed.

And me. Not a woman, so... there's no chance of that ever...

I know you're not getting back together, Dad. Good.

Exactly, right? So I feel... it's time to move on.

One door closes, and another door opens. Please get to the point.

What if that open door was the door to a chapel?

Or a registry office. Hopefully not, but... Can I stop you there?

I knew you'd react like this. I haven't said anything. If you just let me... Can I talk for a second?

I already know. What?

Kim Fox congratulated me on my "new mum".

Said with three mums I'm basically a collector. Great.

Yeah.

Look, I'm really sorry, I wanted to tell you first, but...

But you didn't.

And now, I assume you want my blessing?

What you doing?

I'm recording this moment. Call it an insurance policy.

I'm happy for you to marry Stacey, as long as you promise

I don't have to wear some hideous, frilly bridesmaid dress

and parade around like a corgi at a Crufts competition.

I promise.

Fine then.

You can help with the surprise tonight if you like. Don't push it.

OK.

I think he's gonna ask me tonight.

How do you know?

Well, I don't, but Shabnam and him and Kush,

they were all huddled up earlier.

and she's coming tonight and she don't even celebrate Halloween, so something's going on.

I'd go and see him anyway. Just in case.

The last thing you want is him making a fool of himself.

I'm gonna break his heart, aren't I?

Linda in there? She's having a little lie-down.

Is it Linda you're looking for?

Or this?

SHE SINGS A SHOW TUNE

Mind how you go down those stairs.

SHE SINGS

It's over, Mum.

What would I do without you, eh?

And me, Gran.

If anyone tried to hurt you, they'd have me to deal with.

Oh, come here.

You can probably take that off now.

Ain't the prettiest thing, is it?

Why don't you go to the pub tonight with Abi, eh?

Dress up, have fun, be young.

Are you sure?

Yeah, Go on. I'll show you out.

Is that pumpkin finished? Yeah.

Let's have a look.

Ooh, very scary!

You look after your gran tonight, yeah? Good lad.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

MALE VOICE HUMS AND MUMBLES

Mick, are you sure about this Babe and Elaine thing?

I'm only doing it to get L jealous so she changes her mind.

You know what she's like when her mother tries to steal her thunder.

Well, I think you've just unleashed a monster.

I just caught Elaine in the kitchen trying to sabotage Babe's toxic trifle.

Ooh. Well, treat it like a nature documentary.

You stand back and you sort of observe it but don't get involved.

Let nature take it's course.

I know, I know, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Mick.

Oh, if it ain't the grim reaper.

I came to apologise for stirring things up with Linda.

It's all right, it's all right.

I don't want you thinking that I'm crazy.

You know, it's a bit late for that.

There's a reason why I overreact to these things.

Well, he raped my wife and I managed not to kill him.

He hasn't done anything to you and you're trying to start up

the Brown Bread club. It's like, what do you expect me to think?

I know what Linda went through.

I know what she went through because it happened to me and it was my dad.

I'm sorry.

Look, I spent my whole life protecting Roxy from him.

I certainly didn't do it for her to end up

in the arms of somebody like Dean.

Just ask yourself this, if you could go back,

you could stop him from getting to Linda,

stop all of the pain it's caused your family, would you?

You all right? I like your costume.

Thanks.

I went to your stall but, um, you weren't there...

Yeah, I just had to have a quick chat with Bex.

Everything all right? You seem a bit...

I bought some lights from Donna. But they don't work.

Dodgy Donna, innit? Did you get your money back?

I asked Whit, she said that Lee might pop around and try

and fix 'em. Anyway that's not the point. I opened your tool box.

Ah.

Surprise!

You don't seem to... I can't, Martin.

I can't marry you.

Right, well, I've changed the fuse and they definitely work,

but if I try 'em behind the telly it don't, so the socket must be faulty.

Could you have a look at it for me? Please?

Cos I thought it might be nice to hang them over that window.

I'll go check the fuse board. Lee...

Um, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the fact

you're staying in with me tonight. And...

I know you're trying.

I do know you're trying and I put too much pressure on you,

but I only do it cos I care.

I know.

I just wanted to say. In case you didn't.

What? Nothing.

What?!

Have you been drinking? I had one.

Fats gave it to me cos I made a sale.

You made a sale? Yeah. And a good one.

Well, that's great. Why didn't you say nothing?

Cos you didn't ask, Whit.

I've been married, Martin.

So have I. My wife was a lesbian.

So if anyone shouldn't want to get married again, then it's me, innit?

My husband died.

Yeah. He did. I'm sorry.

It's all right. It's good, this is good. Right.

We can both agree that marriage doesn't actually give you

any guarantees.

Yeah, that's true. But I really like what we've got now.

Everything about our relationship has just been so...

unusual. I actually think it's quite refreshing, don't you?

Yeah, but I just think...

Who wants to be like everyone else anyway?

Me. And on a practical note, I am growing a little human inside here,

which is stressful enough without adding a wedding to the list.

All right. I understand. And I get it all, I do, but just...

hear me out. I'm listening.

I didn't see this coming. Us.

After Sonia, I'll be honest,

I came back to Walford with a lot of doubts, you know?

I thought it was a massive step backwards.

And I found myself with you,

And it couldn't be more obvious that this is my...

You're my home. Everything I need is here.

Stace, I love you.

And I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I want everyone to know that.

Is that so bad?

None of these are right!

Well, I'm hardly gonna shift it now, am I?

Whatever you can see you can have half price.

Surely you can improvise something?

EVIL VOICE: Surely you can?

SHE LAUGHS EVILLY

Hi. Hey. So, where are they?

Oi, don't say nothing. I think Martin's gonna propose tonight.

Yeah, yeah. I found out today. It's all over the market.

Oh. Yeah. Listen,

did you give Lee a beer earlier?

Yeah. I mean, he made a sale, all right?

And we were celebrating. Yeah... And plus it's the end of the week.

But you were the one who said he needs to sort himself out.

Yeah, I know, but he's done well since he's been back

and we've all been there, ain't we?

You know, turned up to work a little bit late or a little bit hungover.

I don't know, Whit, maybe we're being a little bit too hard on him?

LEE SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION

Lee, I was thinking. why don't we stay here tonight?

Might be nice to get out the house.

Really?

Yeah.

All right, nice one. I'll go get the costumes. OK.

Oh, don't forget my belt. All right.

Ah, it looks so good in here!

Thanks, I've put tea lights out as well.

Yeah, bit of atmosphere. Like it.

Right, I need to go and get ready.

We're gonna be Freddy and Nancy from A Nightmare On Elm Street

and her hair is huge. Oh, I can help you with that if you like.

Nah, it's all right.

Everything all right, Martin?

Yeah, yeah. Never better.

How's it going, bro? Yeah, all right.

Come on, Gran, it's starting!

You're still afraid! Stop it now, I mean it.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Right, remember, one sweet each, otherwise we'll run out.

Yeah, yeah. ON TV: They're coming to get you, Barbara...

Trick or treat? Trick!

What'd you do that for?

I dunno. Just to see.

CRASH

Right. Well, now you know.

Right, you two, we're on. Now?

Yeah, now. She'll be here any minute.

Whit, where's the music?

Fats forgot a main cable so he's gone to get it.

I need music. Like now. Why?

Have you got a saucepan? You hungry or something? No.

Just put the phone in the saucepan, it should amplify the music. Yeah.

You, Lee Carter, are not just a pretty face. Love it.

Right. L.

I'm gonna crown me winner.

So...wanna see how they got on?

You're hoping I'll change my mind.

Nance, could you go and gather the contestants please?

It won't work.

Elaine, the judges will see you now.

Oh, yeah! What do you think? Yeah? Feeling that.

Oh, Mum, if my eyes are watering, it's only cos I'm proud.

Thank you.

US ACCENT: You are the kindest people I have met in all my lives.

That's bang on, innit, L, eh?

Nance, can you go and get the other old sort please?

Babe?

She's coming now, strong. L?

Y....

Oh, Babe.

Oh, no offence, but...

You look more like Herman!

I didn't have much to work with, did I, after you swooped in and nicked Linda's wig!

Anyhow, who have you come as? Cynthia Payne? Excuse me?!

You look like a sad, middle-aged madam. The cheek of it!

Ladies, please, let's all just calm down.

It's a nice competition, this is.

I've made my decision.

Elaine. Yeah?

You can be Lily.

Thank you! Yes!

Babe, you're gonna be Herman.

Herman?!

I'm not having that as my husband! What are you gonna go as?

Do you know what, I don't think I'm gonna do it. Mick!

Nah, it's the second year running now. So? You're being silly.

You love dressing up. Not on me jack. I just don't fancy it.

You cop for that. You look brilliant, Babe.

Ooh, Don, you look smokin'.

Oh, thanks! I'm a horny little devil. Fatboy can kiss my tail.

Stace. Yeah?

Tell me then. What happened?

You really wanna know?

RINGING

Right. Sorry, everyone. Just keep it down.

I just want your attention just for a couple of minutes.

Thank you all for turning up and that, but...

As some of you know, I had a plan for tonight,

but, Stacey found out, so...

Yeah. We've had a bit of a chat.

And it turns out that we've actually got quite different opinions

on marriage. I had one idea, Stacey had another and...

so we agreed to disagree, didn't we?

Yeah, we did, so shut up.

But that just ain't gonna cut it for me.

If we want this to work then we're gonna have to get on the same page.

So here...

Here goes.

MUSIC

Thanks, Lee, for that. Martin, what are you doing?!

Right, if you just come over to to the window for me.

What?

You ready?

Wow! Oh!

Martin!

Look, I know what I said,

but the boys had already helped me carve them,

and you know much I love my vegetables.

Just didn't want them to go to waste.

What about what we said though?

Yeah, er...

Stacey Branning...

..will you do me the honour of becoming my not wife?

Your what?

Yeah. Your what?

Yeah. My not wife.

Will you live with me forever in sin...

..but not in holy matrimony,

as long as we both shall live?

Yeah, course I will, you doughnut! I'll be your not wife.

CHEERING

Let's get the drinks in, eh?

Thank you, yeah.

MUSIC BLARES

Right, here you are. Cheers.

There you go.

What's that outfit got to do with Halloween anyway?

Talk about desperate for attention.

Love your outfits. Ah, thanks, you too.

Here we are then. Bit early, ain't it?

Who cares, mate? My tag's off.

Can we have a drink now?

Actually, I would like to propose a little toast.

It's ironic that Ben is dressed as Edward tonight,

because he really is a hero.

Seriously?

What? You've stood up to Gavin, stood up to your dad...

I mean, you protected the whole family. She's right.

You should give yourself some credit. We get it, Ben's a hero and he saved the day.

Can we get on with it now? Yeah, go on then. Don't mind if I do. Ready?

Cheers. Cheers.

Maybe we could be mates?

Baby's kicking. Can I feel? Yeah.

That's my little brother. Or sister.

I hope it's a boy. Stace, I've got the lead, babe!

Oh, we've got music!

Martin, get your dragon's blood punch out the fridge.

You all right? You're looking nice.

Here you are, Fats, I'll help you. Thanks babe. Grab that bit.

Whit. Come here a minute.

Did you see that bloke earlier?

What bloke?

When Martin proposed he was standing by the door.

It's the same one I said I saw out the window earlier.

No. That is so weird.

Yeah, well, Denny should not have been out.

I caught them running around Turpin Road.

You scared the living daylights out of me.

you need to keep a better eye on your grandson, don't you, Kathy?

Oh, you can talk! Your son smashed up our pumpkin.

You want to see the mess by the back door! I didn't!

My son snuck out because Phil couldn't keep an eye on him.

Instead he's laid up in bed with some injury, down to your mess.

Now come on, you. You're coming to work with me. But Mum...!

No. You are not to be trusted.

Mum? What?

I didn't touch her stupid pumpkin. I don't want to know. Come on.

Come on. Let's go and find your uncle Ben.

RINGING

No, no... Stay here.

Please, stay here, just talk to me.

Stay here and talk to me, please!

Please don't go!

Stace.

Ambulance is on its way.

I think we need to give her some space, all right?

Let's all wait for the ambulance outside. Yeah, I'm going to wait for the ambulance.

All right, guys, let's get outside, let's give them some space, come on.

He's gone! He's gone.

No-one's gone anywhere, it's all right.

He's gone. No-one's gone, no-one's going.

Where's your phone now? I left it in the house.

Right, what's happened? You didn't have to come in here.

I saw Sharon. She said the boys just ran out the back gate.

I was out the front cleaning the windows... You were supposed to be watching them. Gavin called me.

We don't know that. I know that. He was breathing down the phone, Ian.

I know it's him. Why does no one believe that?

Mum, all right, if what you're saying is true, then...

I mean, prank calls? What is he, Bobby's age?

He's got nothing, all right? He's out of options.

All he can do is try and scare you.

Ben's right, OK? Don't rise to it.

He was in the house Ian, I know it.

Bobby, what happened?

Dennis came in the back gate and jumped out on me in the front room.

Then I ran after him... See? It was just the boys messing around, OK?

But, when we were... Bobby, just leave it, will you? I've got to go back to work.

I suggest you have a nice drink at the bar with Ben and calm yourself down. OK?

I'll get them in. Have you locked my house? No. It's unlocked, I panicked.

Right, I'll go and sort that out, OK?

You are coming to work with me. But you're not listening! I have done enough listening to you for one day.

Come on.

Just try and keep your eyes open. The baby's not moving.

How did this happen? The wires are exposed. Yeah, but how?

I was just trying to fix it. You?

Yeah, I didn't know what was wrong with it. I must have just left it.

You just left it? Martin, he didn't mean to hurt anyone. I completely forgot.

You forgot?! I'm so... Stop it!

If you've hurt my baby, you're finished... Dad, stop it! Stop it! Dad!

Just calm down, all right?

Mrs Branning? My name's Tom, this is Holly. We're going to look after you, OK?

I'm just going to ask you a few questions then we'll get you to the hospital, all right?

Tell me where you touched the electrics, all right?

Any numbness or pain? I don't know!

We're going to take care of you, all right?

There's an ambulance outside Stacey's.

I hope it's nothing serious.

And I thought OUR night was going badly.

I'm sorry if I let you down tonight.

I hardly know anyone down there.

At least it's busy.

Yeah, it's busy.

Be even busier if everyone didn't let me down.

I've got my reasons, Mick.

I know. You're shattered.

We both are.

But we could have got your mum or Babe up here to look after Ollie.

It might have done you some good.

It's not just that.

Then what is it?

It don't matter. Go back downstairs.

Enjoy yourself. Please.

And the fact you've had a few drinks, I think it's better you

calm down, make your own way there and let us focus on what we need to do.

Just let me go in the ambulance!

Martin, I'll go, I'll go.

I'll drive you, all right? I haven't had a drink. I'll drive you there.

We really need to go, come on.

This is Stacey we're talking about all right?

She's going to be OK.

SIREN

Look, go downstairs.

I'm gonna get into bed and watch something on the laptop.

Is it something I've said? No.

Is it your mum? No.

Who's upset you enough that you don't wanna go downstairs?

I've said it don't matter.

It's Ronnie, ain't it?

And all that stuff about Dean.

I knew it. It's not.

Then what is it?

Because the Linda that I know would be the life and soul of the party.

The Linda that I know loves Halloween.

Baby.

Please don't shut me out.

Sit down.

I need to explain something to you, but you've got to promise me

you won't go off on one.

OK.

I promise.

I'm not the Linda you know.

Not anymore.

Well, I am. I mean, sort of. But there's other stuff now.

Think of it like this.

You've got a piece of china, and it breaks.

And you can glue it back together, right, you can still use it,

but it'll always be broken.

And that's what I think people are like

who have been through something traumatic.

Dean.

You promised me you wouldn't hit the roof.

Look, some days I'm just not myself, all right?

Something gets to me.

And putting on that dress on earlier...

..the way it...

it clung to my body.

I don't know why. I'm not a doctor.

But I know that when I feel like that, the best thing is to be alone,

you know, feel the feeling and let it pass.

It's OK, all right? I'm OK.

But sitting up here. Locking yourself away.

It's like you're letting him win.

No. No, it's not. I'm dealing with what's happened. All right?

He's never going to be able to do that.

I don't feel like dancing today, Mick.

But tomorrow's a new day.

This is just something you can't fix.

OK, baby.

I love you.

I love you.

Now get out.

Come on, you lot. This place needs livening up!

MUSIC: "THRILLER" BY MICHAEL JACKSON Give us some smoke, Tina.

Anything so this lot don't have to see her face.

That's no way to talk to your husband. Come here.

Give me a kiss!

How's Linda? She's in bed.

Oi? What's the matter with you? What have you done?

Elaine, why don't you mind your own business for once?

Are you gonna let her talk to me like that? If you ask me, it's about time someone put you in your place.

Oi, what's the matter with you?

I'm sick of all the agg, Teen. What's happening to our family.

Everyone's falling to bits. It's just bickering.

When we first arrived on this square, we was all living under the same roof.

We was a family, we were strong.

Yeah, well, families change. There's nothing you can do about it.

Ain't there?

Lee...

this ain't your fault.

Yeah, it is.

I was drunk.

No, you weren't. You only had one drink. I was.

I shouldn't have been anywhere near those electrics.

I just wanted to prove to you that I weren't useless.

I don't think you're useless.

What if I've hurt it, Whit? What if I killed their baby, and it's all...

Come here.

HE SOBS

I've got you.

Come on, Mum, come and have a dance. No. Come on!

No, you go, go on. I'll watch.

Welcome back, Kathy!

PHONE RINGS

Mum...

Let's get some air.

Look, I'm sorry, Ben. It was just too much in there.

Don't be sorry. But I am though. I'm spoiling your night.

I'm spoiling everyone's night.

You ain't! I know you think I'm being paranoid,

but he was in that house earlier and I think that Bobby saw him.

If Bobby had of saw him, he would have said something.

He was trying to but Ian shut him down. Mum...

Look, Ben, I am not going mad. I swear it.

I'm going to go "trick or treat!"

It was just some kids. Come here.

You're safe with me, all right?

FIREWORKS

What?

What?

That was him, wasn't it?

I don't know. Let's go home. Let's go home, come on.

What's happening? Is she OK?

Yeah, yeah, I think so. They've hooked her up to some machine.

I think they're checking on the baby.

Are you Mr Branning?

No, I'm her boyfriend. I'm the father.

OK. Well, the A team have told me th#at mother and baby are fine,

amazingly, considering she's suffered an electric shock.

She does however have some burns, and some bad bruising from the fall.

What? What's happening? I'm going to need you to wait here. Wait. Martin, just wait. Listen.

You think it was him, or it WAS him?

I don't know, all right? What do I do?

Well, get her out of my house for a start.

Then what?

BANG

Hello?

What are YOU doing here?

I know.

What happened?

We were concerned Mrs Branning was going into early labour

but it was a false alarm.

We'll do a scan to check further, but it looks promising. Thank you.

You can come inside now, but just... She's exhausted, so go easy.

Can I go up and sit with Phil?

Yes, but stay there this time.

I've told Jay to keep these out of the house.

You know, I've spent the entire day and night running around

after all the men in this house, and what do I get for it?

Yeah, I know what that's like.

Ben, how's your dad?

He ain't too pleased about Dennis running away.

Well, you need to get your mum home. He's going to hit the roof.

He already did. I've got to get going, all right?

Right, listen, mum.

Neither of us are sure about what we saw.

To be honest, I think we're both overreacting.

What we're going to do is we're going to head over to the

restaurant, grab the keys from Ian and we'll go to his.

All right?

Why does mum get so cross?

Women do, mate. That's how it works.

I know I trick or treated Bobby, but I didn't smash the pumpkin.

What are you on about?

Well, it was the man.

What man?

The man with the white hair.

He was in Bobby's kitchen.

That's the reason why we ran away.

DRAMATIC MUSIC ON TV

LOUD BUMP

Dad?

Wait here.

Just in case.

Dad?

He's locked me and Dennis in!

Who?

Dad! Who?

Ben?

I'm calling the police!

MOBILE RINGS

Hello?

Boo!

Argh!

Gotcha!

Mum?

Ben! Ben, run! Get help!

I wouldn't if I were you.

You wouldn't want me dropping this in here now, would you?

There's quite a few explosives. It would be quite a display.

Have you got a death wish or something?

Spot on, sunshine.

Only I don't intend on going alone.

I only anticipated taking your mum with me.

I don't see why you can't join us, since you're here.

Now, get in here and shut the door.

HEARTBEAT ON MONITOR There you are.

Is that OK? After what you've been through, I'd say it's more than OK.

It's pretty much a miracle.

Can I...? Can I ask you a question? You can ask.

I'm having a boy, ain't I?

I'm afraid I'm not allowed to give out that information. Please.

We nearly lost him. Or her.

Please, it would be really nice to know.

I'm sorry.

What makes you think it's a boy?

Um... I just... I just had a feeling.

Probably wrong.

Look, you've had a rough night, so I'll say this.

If you've got a feeling, go with it.

Really? Mother knows best.

We're having a boy.

We're having a miracle boy.

Congratulations.

I'm just going to call Whitney and let her know that you're OK.

We'll give you two some time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm happy. I am happy.

SHE SOBS

That was Shabnam. Stacey and the baby are fine.

Right. I'll be back, yeah?

My little miracle boy.

Poetic really.

This is how it should have been all them years back,

the three of us going together.

Cutting you out of that was where we went wrong, I see that now.

Shame, cos we could have been happy, the three of us.

Yeah, would have been lovely living with a psychopath. Ooh.

That's the pot calling the kettle a killer.

What was her name, Ben? Leave him alone!

Heather, wasn't it?

Yeah, that's right. Didn't know you had it in you, boy.

Why don't you shut your mouth?

Just another reason we should have kept you with us,

really, protected you.

Mind you, I protected your mum all these years.

And apparently it meant nothing. No, you kept me from my family.

No-one made you do anything. We both made that choice.

No, I wasn't sure. You're never sure, Kathy.

You can't function without a man to make a choice for you

and you know it. That's not true.

Don't you dare tell me I made you do anything. All I did was love you.

Dote on you.

I worshipped the ground you walked on and you threw it back in my face!

Why wasn't it good enough for you? Why wasn't I good enough?

Gavin...

I never meant to hurt you.

Don't you move another muscle!

Don't think about that either!

Nothing's going to save you now.

Nothing's going to save any of us. Gavin, please!

But it's the night of the dead, Kathy. Don't you want to join them?

BANG ON DOOR 'Hello?'

It's Sharon.

Get rid. I don't... I don't want her here. She won't go.

BANGING ON DOOR Get her in here. No, no! She hasn't done anything! It's too late!

'Denny?' Sharon, it's Ben.

'Ben, I've left my bag and keys. Can you please open the door?'

You heard the woman.

Oh, thank you.

So, you're Den and Angie's little Sharon, are you?

Well, don't just stand there.

Join us.

What are you doing here? I was wrong about Dean.

He's got to go.

My husband and son are upstairs. What are you planning to do?

Kill us all, apparently.

They'll have called the police by now. With what? This?

They're locked in the bedroom.

Gavin, you could still go, get away from the police.

Then what? Spend the rest of my life on the run?

Well, it's better than going to prison, isn't it?

And what about you? You'd get what you want, I suppose?

Your old life back, no questions asked?

It won't be that easy. There'll be consequences for me too.

Yeah, but at the end of it, you get your family. What do I get?

Crawl under a rock and die! Nobody cares!

But I suppose that's the point, isn't it?

Feeling sorry for yourself.

So Kathy doesn't love you, boo-hoo! Be a man! Get over it!

You're not the first man she's walked out on!

But I'll be the last. Gavin, look, I'll go with you.

I'll do whatever you want.

I'm not stupid enough to trust you again.

I didn't leave you because I didn't love you, I...

I missed my kids, my home.

Walford was my home too, once. I made the same sacrifices you did.

But I didn't look back.

What are you talking about?

Stop, Phil.

You can't do it.

PHIL SIGHS

You and I are exactly the same. I had a child once. You're lying.

But I made a choice.

Because when I walk away, I stay away.

I know what it is to commit.

No, I would have known.

I know the past belongs in the past. Then stop going on about it!

You had a kid, you left. Probably did them a favour.

They'd have been better off without a piece of scum like you.

I didn't want her anyway.

Never really had the paternal instinct.

Though I have to say, I do admire your guts.

No...

You can't be.

Hello, Princess.

Hello, I'm Sima Kotecha with your 90 second update.

The last British resident held at the Guantanamo Bay detention

centre has arrived back here.

Shaker Aamer was freed yesterday.

The US detained him for nearly 14 years but never

charged him with anything.
