-DOOR SLAMS

-Oi!

You can't barge in here without even telling me who you are.

What, you don't recognise me?

Well, I recognise you.

It's hard to forget the woman that ruined your life.

You're Joel's little girl.

Yeah, we're almost there.

-We're almost there!

-Whoa, whoa. Careful. Careful.

Wait, I tell you what - let's go to the Vic! Yeah?

Because Kim don't want me back until midnight anyway, so...

You know what, that's a long time to stay out.

Yeah, actually, I was...I was thinking of getting an early night.

Yeah, but it's, um... It's not even seven yet!

Why would you want to go to bed now?

Oh, you two, eh?

You're like a couple of dogs sniffing each other's backsides, ain't ya?

So, what you learned today?

-Never take Nan seriously.

-Exactly.

Shirley! Shirl! Come on, you'll go to the Vic with me, won't ya?

Nah, you're all right. I've had enough drama for one day.

Do you know what? I...I...I think I'd better be getting back,

cos I've got to do all the stock tomorrow...

Yeah. And...

and Craig gets all cranky if I... if I don't feed him before seven.

You know what? Whatever happened to putting your mates first?

That's all.

I'm really sorry to hear about your mum and dad.

Don't pretend you care!

Of course I care.

Your dad was a big part of my life when I was young.

Look, can I get you anything? Why don't you sit down?

Sorry to interrupt.

This is Hannah. Joel's daughter.

Oh, hi. Hi. Would you like a cup of tea?

Cos I'm just about to put the kettle on.

Look, I came here to tell you to stay away -

you had no right to go to their grave!

I wanted to pay my respects.

They'd still be alive if it weren't for you!

It was an accident - how could that be Ronnie's fault?

They were on their honeymoon!

-Weren't they already married?

-Yeah. They renewed their vows -

they were finally getting over what you did to them.

If it weren't for you, they wouldn't even have gone on that stupid trip!

-Come on.

-How am I going to start this?

-Come on. That's how we're doing it.

-All right.

-Kim?!

-Dee, is that you? Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!

I thought I told you not to get back until 12.

Well, I wish I hadn't!

See, see, Kim... Kim confiscated my clothes.

Yeah, I wouldn't...I wouldn't try that. It's a bit sticky there.

Do you know, people have gotta sit on them cushions!

What's wrong with your bedroom?

Er...we technically own this house.

Look, we're just spicing things up a bit, D. You should try it sometime.

Yeah? How am I supposed to do that on my own?

I think I know a way.

Vincent!

Stop it.

You two, you put them cushion covers in the wash.

I don't want to catch nothing off ya.

Oh. You're a right barrel of laughs nowadays.

-I remember when you used to be fun.

-WHIP CRACKS

Whoa, whoa.

No, higher. No, wait, easy.

Maybe we should have stayed for one drink.

Is that really what you want to do?

I told you, I've got to feed my cat.

Oh. You'd rather spend the evening with Craig than with me?

Well, he is better at cuddling.

-Oh, yeah?

-Mm-hm.

We'll see about that.

No. Not here! Someone might see.

Well, we've got nothing to hide.

What about the kids?

I'm sure they'd be happy for us.

I really care about you.

I think we're good together.

I mean, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say it.

And you know what? I understand if it's too late and...

Look, I wouldn't worry about it.

It looks like part of the dress.

It...it adds a splash of colour.

-Exactly.

-That woman belongs in a kennel.

We've run out of curry sauce, so...

should I get the extra pan out the back?

You're being a little bit passive-aggressive,

in case you hadn't noticed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You know I've wanted to run a pub since I was a kid

and I was going to give all that up for this.

But you're obviously just not that bothered, so...

If one of us doesn't have a proper job,

how are we going to save up for a deposit on a restaurant?

I hadn't actually thought about that.

So you're not having, like, second thoughts, then?

Today has been amazing.

I know. I genuinely think we work really well together.

Yeah, like Batman and Robin. Or Torvill and Dean.

Ooh, are you...you suggesting

that we wear matching skin-tight outfits to work?

Hmm.

-Cos you've seen my legs - there'll be a queue out the door.

-Exactly.

-So I'll just go heat up the sauce.

-OK. Yeah.

PHONE RINGS

You all right?

Are you OK?

OK.

All right, wait there.

Yeah. OK.

-Right, I've got to pop out.

-What?

-Yeah.

What about the sauce?

-Oh, I...I'll do it when I get back - I won't be long.

-What?!

I told Jade I'd get us some fish and chips for this evening.

Cos that's the answer to all life's problems. Innit?

It's a start, I suppose.

Has this mood got anything to do with the letter I saw you with this morning?

Dean has got his plea hearing on Friday.

You're not thinking of going?!

He's asked to see me.

This was such a good idea.

Shh! Where are the kids?

Oh, Kamil's at a sleepover,

and Tamwar, he won't be back for hours.

Easy, tiger!

TAMWAR CLEARS HIS THROAT

What's happened?

Um... I've left Kush.

Look, I was the one who... who ended things with your dad.

I knew he'd be better off with his family.

You stole him from us then chucked him out when you got bored of him!

I admit I was drawn to him for all the wrong reasons.

But, you know, we had a child.

I'm sick of hearing about Danielle!

She was just an excuse for you and Dad to run off together!

Listen to me.

I have done a lot of things...a lot of things that I'm not proud of.

But, you know, I was grieving for my daughter.

Do you realise what you did to our family?!

Mum and Dad were always shouting at each other.

And Mum...Mum would threaten to take me and my sisters away,

and we didn't want to leave our home.

Last year, it was like she finally forgave him -

and they fell in love again.

They were happy. We were happy.

Oi, Donna. Will you keep an eye on this for two seconds?

-Yeah, I'll make sure no-one nicks the fish fingers.

-Thank you.

Where are you and your sisters living? Are you all together?

Yeah, we're staying with our Uncle Tim - he's got a spare room.

What, all of you are together in one room?!

Yeah, I want to move on somewhere else soon. We can't keep

sponging off him forever - he hasn't got much as it is.

Tim and your dad were always close - I'm sure he'd want to help.

Yeah, but I need to pull my weight.

I want to leave school, get a proper job -

-but Uncle Tim isn't having any of it.

-No, he's right!

I mean, your mum and dad would definitely want you to finish school.

But they're gone.

Anyway, I'm the oldest.

I need to make sure I can take care of my sisters.

I'd like to speak to your uncle Tim, if that's all right,

see if there's anything that I can do to help.

Suddenly grown a guilty conscience?

Look, I understand what it's like to try and help your family

and be backed up against a wall.

I will do right by you and your sisters, I promise you.

Oh, no!

I thought things were good between you and Kush.

Well, you can't throw everything away now just over a row.

I think it's probably a lot more complicated than that.

-Do you know anything about this? Has Kush said something?

-Nothing's happened.

Nothing's happened. We're... We've just...we've been trying to...

to put ourselves back together ever since Zaair died

and, um...it's time to admit we've...

we've done everything that we can.

You can't drop everything now!

You love each other so much. Surely that matters.

I know. I just... I need a fresh start, Dad, get away from here.

And go where?

I'm flying to Pakistan tomorrow.

Thanks a million.

Oh, Pam. Thank you so much for the flowers.

We took them to the cemetery this morning.

Oh, it was my pleasure.

So, er, was it an old friend of Ronnie's that passed away?

Joel was an ex. They had a daughter together,

Danielle, but unfortunately she died.

I had no idea. Well, is there anything I can do?

I've got some leftovers I could drop round.

Thank you, but now's not the best of times, you see, um...

Joel's daughter has just turned up out of the blue.

Oh, her and Ronnie close?

Um... Hannah hates Ronnie.

How could anyone hate Ronnie?

Years ago, Joel left Hannah's mum to be with Ronnie,

then Ronnie turfed him out and he went back to his family.

Well, if I was Ronnie,

I'd be a bit worried about letting that girl into my house!

Does Linda know about the hearing?

I'm going to tell her.

I need to work out what I'm going to do first.

I thought we'd agreed we'd never see him again!

-I know.

-Have you forgotten what he said to you?

He said he wished he'd drowned you when he had the chance!

He wants to make amends.

Maybe being in prison has given him time to think about what he's done.

Shirl, the only reason he's writing to you is

because he's got his hearing coming up.

And he wants you to get him a posh lawyer.

I'm going to try and persuade him to plead guilty.

That way we can all draw a line under this.

Thank you so much, guys, you really didn't have to do this.

Well, the dress is already ruined, love.

What am I going to tell people about the sauce?

Don't worry about it - it tastes nice with or without the sauce.

The sauce is what made it special - without that it's just like a dry...

Nance?

Sweetheart?

Lee.

Nance?

-She's having an absence.

-Well, get her in the recovery position.

No, it's all right. I know what to do.

Nance? Nance, can you hear me?

Nance? Can you hear me?

Squeeze my hand for me, eh?

Squeeze my hand.

-I'll get her a glass of water.

-All right, ta.

Nance?

All right, darling.

-What's brought this on? Why would you want to move halfway across the world?

-I'll be with Mum.

Does Kush know about this?

Um, no, not yet.

So how's he meant to cope?

Zaair was his son, too -

and you're just going to leave him to deal with everything by himself.

He does need you, Shabs, more than he'd ever admit.

He...he has got people here who... who will look after him.

Oh. So now he's someone else's problem?

Just like when you left Jade on that doorstep?

Mas! That is really unfair.

No, I'll tell you what's unfair,

is Shabnam abandoning her baby all over again.

I'm not abandoning her!

I will come back and I will visit her.

You will be thousands of miles away. She's your child!

It's not her fault! It's Kush's.

It's no-one's fault - they can get through this together.

OK. Well, I've got to go anyway, cos I've left Nancy on her own.

Don't leave before I get back.

Stop protecting him, Shabs.

Tell your dad why you really want to leave.

Shabnam?

It's Arthur.

He's Kush's son.

Has Hannah gone home?

Er... Yeah, she's just phoning her uncle and he's going to come and pick her up.

You're not giving her money, are you?

If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it, thank you very much.

Ronnie, look. I know you feel really bad about Joel, but you don't know this girl.

She's just come barging in your house.

I'm not exactly strapped for cash, right?

So why shouldn't I spend my money on something good?

Why don't you see how you feel tomorrow?

Eh? You've had a really tough day.

Sharon says I ruin everything I touch - but she's given up on Phil.

I can really make a difference in... in Hannah's life, and her sisters'.

I'm not giving up on them.

DOOR SLAMS

-Where is she?

-Here.

-Oh, give her some space!

-What's happened?

-She had an absence.

She was unresponsive for a little while but she's coming round now.

-Mum?

-It's all right, baby, I'm here. All right?

Oh, um, get her some water.

-Where's Tam?

-I dunno, he disappeared.

What do you mean, disappeared? What, he's left her on her jack? Yeah?

-Let's get her up. Let's get her up.

-Come here, baby.

-Mick.

-It's all right. It's all right.

-That's all right.

-Is she going to be all right?

Yeah, she don't look too good.

No, it's nothing serious, thanks. But she...she just needs to rest.

Slowly. Slowly.

Mas, please don't hurt him!

This is why I didn't want to tell you!

Because I knew you would react like this.

They were having an affair the whole time?! While you were pregnant?

When Zaair died?!

-No. No. It was just once.

-Oh, well, that's all right, then(!)

We had broken up, very briefly. It was...it was when I, er...

I asked Auntie Fatima to find me a husband.

How long have you known?

Couple of weeks.

Since before Christmas.

Argh!

All that time!

You know, when you came round that night you were in tears -

that's what all this was about?!

It wasn't my place to tell.

Well, who else knows? I mean, does the whole Square know?

No, no, no. No-one apart from us, Kush and Stacey.

Martin doesn't know?!

We were about to tell him, and then Stacey got sectioned.

That's why...that's why you can't say anything to anyone - not...

not even...not even to Tam.

So that's why you wouldn't tell me? You didn't think I could keep it to myself?

-No. Of course not!

-Then why, Shabnam?!

Because I...I wanted to pretend that it never happened,

that...that Kush has nothing to do with Arthur.

But Kush, he deserves to be a father.

He'll be... he'll be a really good dad.

I can't give that to him.

I'm sorry you had to go through this on your own.

I know Kush made a terrible mistake,

but you mean the world to him -

..please just give him one last chance.

I think you should leave.

Don't tell Kush I'm leaving, please. I want to do it myself.

But please don't go without giving him one last chance.

-Hey.

-Ronnie.

Hey.

I'm sorry I took so long.

I just had a few things I needed to sort out.

I'm really sorry about what happened to Joel.

When did we last see each other? Eh? At school?

Yeah, it must have been.

You look exactly the same.

I find that hard to believe!

Well, I definitely would have recognised you if I saw you in the street.

Yeah, Ronnie didn't recognise me, did you, Ronnie?

Hannah mentioned that you're looking after

all of the girls by yourself.

We're getting by.

Here. It's just a contribution.

You're right - what happened to Danielle,

it's no excuse for what I did to your family.

So I want to take responsibility for my mistakes.

FOOTSTEPS OUTSIDE

Oh.

You're back early - run out of things to say to each other?

Nancy had a seizure - Mick and Linda had to take her home.

-She all right?!

-She'll be fine. No thanks to you.

Sorry?

You started the trouble. You stressed her out.

No, no, no. Come on, it had nothing at all to do with Denise.

Wha...? Patrick, who chucks a glass of wine over someone?!

Apart from a child?

OK. I am disappointed in myself.

The stain could definitely have been bigger.

That attitude must make you a lot of friends -

which is why you're sitting, getting drunk in the dark by yourself!

You going to let her talk to me like that?

Well, you're the one who threw the wine.

Oh, so whose side are you on, then?!

We were going to have a great, great evening -

but, oh, no, you... you had to ruin it for everybody.

Oh. I was just having a little bit of fun!

If that is your idea of fun, then maybe you should take a long, hard look at yourself.

-It's very generous.

-Er, look.

If you need more, just let me know. I just really wouldn't want

Hannah to leave school under any circumstances.

-That's what I keep telling her.

-I'm just glad I could help.

After everything that I put you through.

What, you think you can just throw some cash at the problem

and we'll all live happily ever after?

I know I can't take back what I did to you and your sisters,

but I can at least make your life a bit more comfortable.

-Yeah? Well, we don't want your blood money.

-Hannah!

My dad was right about you - you are dead on the inside.

I'm so sorry. She's been really struggling since the accident.

No. No. I mean, it's fine. Maybe another time.

She might change her mind.

I don't think that's going to happen.

It was really nice to see you again, Ronnie.

I'm going to go over there -

if anyone should be leaving, it should be Kush.

-Don't, please.

-I am not losing you because of him!

You know, if I was a stronger person,

I would be able to live across the road from Arthur,

watch the man I love bring up someone else's child,

knowing that we'll... we'll never have one of our own.

But I can't bear to be around that little boy.

It is, it's killing me.

I know you think that going to Pakistan will be easier,

but if you stay here with me and Tam, we will look after you -

we won't let you down.

Yeah...

But this is my chance to start again.

It won't stop me thinking about Zaair,

but at least I can put everything else behind me.

Dad...I have to go.

I have to go.

Please don't blame Kush - this is my decision.

-Well, is Nancy OK?! W...

-Oh!

So where was ya?!

There was a family crisis,

and then when I got back to the pop-up she'd gone.

-Donna said she had a seizure.

-Yeah. And you weren't there.

-I only thought I'd be gone for a minute.

-Well, that's no excuse!

How was she meant to deal with all them customers on her own?

-Is she awake? Cos I've got to explain.

-Ah, ah.

You are not going in there - she needs to rest.

I just want to see if she's OK.

Well, she don't want to see you. So...

OK. Um....can you just... tell her I'm so sorry?

And I love her.

Hello?

Hello?

'Your call has been forwarded to the mobile voicemail service 0797...'

-Is he in here?

-Go home, Mas.

He can't hide in there forever!

You need to calm down - then we can talk about this like adults.

You've been lying to me for months! There's nothing left to say.

Why are you making this about you?

Poor Shabs is the one that's been wronged!

-Oh, just get out of my way, will you?!

-You're taking this all out of proportion.

Your son has torn my family apart

because he couldn't keep it in his trousers!

-What?

-I guess we know where he gets it from. Right?

Don't talk to me like that!

Everything that happened between you and me has been one big mistake.

You didn't say that earlier.

Maybe I was just trying to get you into bed -

didn't take very much, did it?

I'm glad you've shown your true colours.

Because I could never be with a man who thought it was OK

to speak to me like that!

Mum? Everything all right?

-Hey.

-Hey.

How could you?!

I welcomed you into my family. I comforted you when Zaair died.

And all that time you were hiding your grubby little secret!

It was one mistake.

And I'm going to do everything I can to make it right.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Well, it's too late. You've driven her away.

She's going to Pakistan - she booked the flight.

Well, I'll talk to her, then - she can't just leave.

Listen. She doesn't want to see you!

So what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?

You want me to just sit back and watch her go?

Will you just stay away from her?!

-No offence, it's got nothing to do with you. So...

-So...

Mas! Don't!

You stay away from my daughter or I'll kill you.

She doesn't want you.

I've lost her, Mum.

I've lost her.
