0:00:30 > 0:00:32What's all this?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Oh, you know. Bit of romance. Wining and dining.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37It's all part of the package with me.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And here's me thinking I had the whole package last night.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- I think you'll find I've still got a few surprises up my sleeve...- Ooh.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47You just imagine how many little surprises you'd get
0:00:47 > 0:00:51if I didn't have to keep creeping back from Dot's every day.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53What happened to taking it slow?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'm not talking about moving in now.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Maybe when Sharon's, you know, settled in a place of her own...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Put up with you two tiptoeing around each other?- Do me a favour.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I lived with Max and my old man in the same house.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'm sure I can get along with my ex.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Morning.- Morning.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- Bacon sarnies in five. Is it brown or red sauce for Dennis?- Red.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Jack, you don't have to do this.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Don't be daft. Work a lot better if we all pitch in.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Right, I'll let him know.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Bacon's in the fridge.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I thought you might like to make me a nice breakfast?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34If you think I'm scared what you're going to do with that poxy letter...
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Yeah, you're right - what damage could I possibly do with this(?)
0:01:40 > 0:01:43"To Ben. You have a cuckoo hiding in your nest.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47"Abi Branning is a liar and a cheat
0:01:47 > 0:01:50"and she'll do anything to keep you by her side.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52"There was no baby.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54"There was never a baby."
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Pretending to be pregnant to keep your gay boyfriend?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Could you get any sadder? It's like something out a magazine.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06"The only thing ever inside that girl was malice and hate.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09"Get rid, before her poison does any more damage."
0:02:09 > 0:02:11That's all lies.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh. Oh, well, that's me convinced(!)
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Let's just forget all about it, shall we?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Oh, Abs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I hope you don't mind, but I made a few copies.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Stuck one up in the Minute Mart, the caff,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- and posted one through the door of The Arches.- You didn't!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Nah, but I could have.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I think it's best you keep on my good side. Don't you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Beautiful! You'll be beating the blokes off with a stick in that,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41you mark my words. Morning, boss.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I'm not your boss. Or Kush's, for that matter.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I made sure he was awake before I left the flat.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50He'll be here any minute. Cross my heart.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Thanks, darling.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54You were right to ring me, but don't you worry.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- I'm here and he's on his way. Promise.- Yeah?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Because if he's not up to working, I'll have to reallocate again...
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Morning, Kushy!
0:03:01 > 0:03:06I was just telling Tamwar how much better you're feeling.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Well, I'm glad I put myself out and tried to help.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Cos it's clearly making a big difference.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Meaning?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Look, I'm sorry about what happened between me and Nancy,
0:03:17 > 0:03:18but the way I live my life...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's really none of your business, all right?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24What sort of a way is that to talk to the market inspector?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Oh...- Look at the state of you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You haven't showered, much less shaved, in days.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Seriously, Mum, I do not need a lecture. OK?- Well, tough.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Tamwar called me as a favour,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37but I don't see him giving you another second chance.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Sort yourself out,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42unless you want to lose your stall on top of everything else.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Denny, hurry up! Your breakfast's getting cold.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- KNOCK AT DOOR - I'll go.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Right, I'd better get back to Dot's.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Any ideas for an excuse of why I've missed my curfew?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Hello.- Ah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, I'd certainly hoped there was no truth in it,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- and seeing you sitting there confirms it.- Sorry?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09He came to offer his condolences.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I told him no-one had died, as far as I know.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Not according to the e-mail I received this morning, I'm afraid.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17According to that, Mrs Veronica...
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Yes, well, you don't need to know the details.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Suffice to say, I was told that you'd suffered an accident
0:04:24 > 0:04:27and that I should start planning your funeral.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You sure it ain't Billy pulling your leg?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It certainly looks like somebody is.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I won't trouble you any further.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well, I suppose you've got to make your own fun
0:04:38 > 0:04:40when you work in a funeral parlour, eh?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41HE CHUCKLES
0:04:41 > 0:04:44What? You ain't taking this seriously, are you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- No, like you said, it's probably Billy just trying to be funny.- Ron?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Look, if you ask me, it's someone taking the mick out of Les, not me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'd better go - I said I'd pop into the gym.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Really? It runs itself these days, doesn't it?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Can you look after Matthew for me until I get back?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Why don't you just tell me what I need to do to keep your mouth shut?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Where's the fun in that, Abs?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12This way, I get to think up something that'll make you sweat.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Double bubble.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Since when did you know where the dusters were kept?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19With Sharon gone, we're all going to have to learn new skills.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Unless you want to live in a tip.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Your, erm, dad's credit card.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27If you don't spend too much, he probably won't notice for a while.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And if he does, I'll think of a way to square it with Ben.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You must be desperate.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36What's the matter, afraid Ben will believe me instead of you?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh, you poor cow(!)
0:05:38 > 0:05:41All that trouble and he still loves Lady Gaga more than he loves you.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Shut your mouth.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Dad's ill, his wife's legged it.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The last thing I want to do is cause him more grief.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Doesn't mean you're off the hook, though.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'm just going to have to think harder about what you can do for me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Watch this space.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Don't be a stranger, all right? - Thank you, I'll do my best.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Are you going home, Rachel? - Yes.- Oh. Good luck!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Thank you.- See you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14That'll be me soon, if I've got anything to do with it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17You don't think that Dr Reid's going to change her mind
0:06:17 > 0:06:19about me going home, do you?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Let's just chat everything through
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and then we'll see what the outcome is, all right?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- She's avoiding me.- Mm?- Ronnie.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Couldn't get out of here fast enough.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Whatever it is, leave me out of it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Explain to me why the pair of you
0:06:40 > 0:06:42were so freaked out by that e-mail, and I will.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- You must admit, it was a bit strange.- Strange, yes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Something to worry about, no.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Not unless you knew who did it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Maybe we're just a bit more easily scared than you are.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55We both know Ronnie's no angel.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57What's she mixed up in?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Milk, two sugars, yeah?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05HE SIGHS
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's not for me. Not just for me, anyway.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Martin - he's under so much pressure, being on his own -
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and my little girl needs me.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17She lost a tooth and the tooth fairy didn't come.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I am a good mum.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Just let me go back to where I belong.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Let me be the mum that my kids deserve.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Relax, Stacey. We're all really happy with your progress.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'm still going to recommend that you go home today.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Thank you! Thank you so much, you don't know what that means to me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Actually, I think you just filled us in on that one.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41This doesn't mean that you'll be on your own.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'll be working with you in the community,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45providing whatever support you need.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47And we're only at the end of the phone.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49No need to be a stranger.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51No offence, but I'd really like it if I was.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53THEY LAUGH
0:07:58 > 0:08:00All right, congratulations! You win!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I slept with Nancy, so you get back at me by phoning my mum.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Wahey(!) You trumped me, didn't you? You win.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Not that I'm saying that I didn't deserve it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11You think that's why I called?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Obviously, I wasn't devastated enough
0:08:13 > 0:08:15when you kicked me off my stall the other day,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18so you thought you'd stick the boot in a little bit more.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Like I say, I'm not blaming you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Well, I didn't call Carmel to get back at you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I kicked you off your stall - that was me getting back at you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28That was me being an idiot.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But, I'm doing this to try and do you a favour.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Cos you need help - you're a mess.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37And technically, we're still family, so...
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I know you won't listen to me, but you should listen to your mum.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55You and me need to have a little chat.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You're back, then.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I take it your friend Mr Coker
0:08:58 > 0:09:00shared that e-mail with you this morning?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Yeah, frightened the life out of me when he told me.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- I thought something really happened. - Something really has happened, Bill.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09There's some weirdo out there, messing with Ronnie's head.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Have you got any idea who might be behind it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15What's Ronnie got to say about it?
0:09:15 > 0:09:16I'm asking you, Bill.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I know Ronnie inside out. You think I wouldn't know
0:09:19 > 0:09:21when she was trying to hide something from me?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Do you know what? Maybe she got a little bit freaked out -
0:09:24 > 0:09:28like I would, if someone was putting a rumour out about how I snuffed it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Les didn't say anything about how.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Come on, Bill. You need to tell me what was in that e-mail, right now.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40All right, all right. It was sick.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It was like, details about how she'd been in a car crash.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It had a list of her injuries
0:09:45 > 0:09:49and it said she'd died before anyone could get to her.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50That she was on her own.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Ronnie must have really put someone's nose out of joint
0:09:58 > 0:10:00for them to think up a thing like this.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You sure you don't know who it is?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Mate...
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I've got to get back to work.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13How'd it go?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15It's a trip to the hospital, how'd you think it went?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Ignore him, he's been miserable the whole way home.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Must be time for his nap, I think.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Listen, shouldn't you two be at the Arches?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Or am I going to lose my business, as well as my health?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We could draw straws? Short straw has to stay with him.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Neither of you has to hang around. I'm here if he needs anything.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Yeah, you're a proper little Florence Nightingale, aren't you?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I'll get to the Arches, sort these services out.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Hang on, what happened to drawing straws?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Not fast, you're last.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Ben!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Yeah...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54All right, mate - let me give you a quick run-down.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57So, we've got the spuds - they're on special, yeah?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59And these Braeburns - they've probably got, max,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01like a day left in them, so try and shift them, yeah?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Because I have got a beautiful woman to go and collect!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Cheers, mate. Take care.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well, look at you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I owe Craig an apology.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I thought that stink in bed last night was him.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'm surprised he went anywhere near you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19You know how he is around blokes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Anyway, my Craig smells like a dream.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25And fish. SHE LAUGHS
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Thank you for giving me a push.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It should have been me that called you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I was having a laugh, thinking I could sort myself out on my own.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, if your mum can't give you a kick up the backside,
0:11:36 > 0:11:37then who can, eh?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Plus, if you're willing to put your life on hold to just sort me out,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43then the least I can do is pull my weight.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I'm proud of you, Kushy. - PHONE RINGS
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Who's that, then? Someone you owe money to?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Look, if I'm going to be stuck out here on my lonesome all day,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57the least you can do is bring me a cup of tea.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- OK.- And a sticky bun!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I've been tidying all morning.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Don't want this place to go down the tubes without Sharon around.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Nice one(!)
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Sorry. It's not like you didn't know she was going.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Someone stick the kettle on, eh?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Are you hungry? I can cook you something.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28As long as it starts in beans and ends in toast...
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I can do a lot more than that, actually.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Start by making the tea, Cinderella, yeah?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Then when we need someone to cause a panic
0:12:36 > 0:12:39or be a general pain in the bum, we'll let you know.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56SHE KNOCKS AT DOOR
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Just stop ringing!
0:12:59 > 0:13:00I'll tell him in my own time.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04The last thing I need is you sticking your oar in!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Or you could just tell me now?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It's not funny.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Les Coker actually thought I could be dead.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18HE LAUGHS
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Tell you what, that's good.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I almost wish I'd thought of it myself.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26So, what are you saying? That you didn't have anything to do with it?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30My beef with the Mitchells is over with. I wouldn't start it up again.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- I couldn't risk the cost. - DOORBELL RINGS
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Besides, I've got a family and a business to run.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37What makes you think I'd waste my time trying to wind you up?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Well, if it wasn't you, then who was it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That depends, doesn't it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43How many enemies do you have?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Usually, I would get annoyed with other people
0:13:49 > 0:13:52getting visitors at our home, but you can come again.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It's about time we had some beefcake back on the Square.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Excuse me.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I mean...more beefcake.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- What are you doing?- I thought you weren't taking this seriously?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- I'm not.- Give me some credit, will you?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Was it him? Is that why you're here?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08He said he had nothing to do with it and I believe him.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11All right, so how many other headcases are out for your blood?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Where exactly do you get off talking to me like that?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Look, drop the act, will you? What's happened?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18You push someone too far and now they're coming back to bite you?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Of course, because this would have to be my fault, wouldn't it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- You said it, not me.- This is exactly why I don't come to you for help.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Sorry to interrupt all the fun,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31but do you mind taking this some place else that's not my house?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Probably a long list of suspects to accuse. - DOOR OPENS
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Complicated woman, our Veronica. - DOOR SHUTS
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Mate, you'll give her a wide berth if you know what's good for you.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Ronnie!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They'll think we can't make up our minds -
0:15:02 > 0:15:05ordering takeaways then drinking them in here.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Don't change the subject, Mum. Come on, talk to me.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14The house has sold.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Your dad's given me a week to move out.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Shaki's packed up and moved in with him permanently.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28I feel so stupid.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I knew the house was on the market, and the sale was moving forward,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36but I just never thought it'd happen.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41That's our family home.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44How can he flog it off like it's some bit of old tat?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Please tell me that you haven't been focusing on that,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50instead of looking for somewhere to live?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Proper ostrich, ain't I?- Oh, yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02You must have thought Christmas had come early when Tam called you.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Don't look at me like that, Mum. Are you honestly telling me
0:16:04 > 0:16:08you'd have come here so quickly if you didn't need a place to stay?
0:16:08 > 0:16:09I'm your mum - of course I would.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Then why didn't you tell me the truth from the start, then?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You were in such a bad way,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17the last thing I wanted was to put my troubles on top of yours.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19So here you are, bullying me into sorting my own life out
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and you can't even take your own advice.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23"Bullying"? Kush...
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Do you know what? I thought, out of all the people in my life,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30at least I could have trusted you to be on the level with me.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34You're right.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I've been...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I've been selfish.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'll...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I'll pack my things and be gone by this afternoon.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58So, I found Ron - going into Vincent's place.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00He didn't send that e-mail, if you were wondering.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You're determined to put me in the middle of this, aren't you, Jack?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What else am I supposed to do?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Ron's scared half to death about this e-mail
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and everyone else seems to know about it, except me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Come on, please, Sharon.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I can't go through this again -
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Ronnie shutting me out,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18me not finding out until it's too late to help.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21All I want is the Ronnie I know back...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26..but that's not going to happen, is it?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I ain't got a clue who she is any more.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Jack, wait.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Don't give up on her.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36There was a bloke, a few years back.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37His name was Carl White.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Why do you always have to treat me like that?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Ham or cheese? - I'm trying to talk to you.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Yeah, and I'm ignoring you,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58cos you don't know what you're talking about.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59I'm trying to be there for Dad
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and all you do is treat me like I'm a kid.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Being older doesn't automatically mean you know everything.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm not saying I know everything -
0:18:06 > 0:18:09just that I know more than you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13You really think you're the only one around here who matters.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20You are a kid, Louise. All right?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Now, if you want to help Dad, go back to your mum's
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and stop causing everyone stress.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- She killed him?- Well, it wasn't as black and white as all that...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Did the bloke end up dead, or didn't he?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40When I asked you what she was mixed up in,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I was thinking it was some Mitchell nonsense, not this.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Oh, come on, Jack, we don't know Carl's family are behind it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It could be anyone. Charlie, maybe.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- That's supposed to make me feel better, is it?- Well, no...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53No wonder the pair of you were so worried by that e-mail.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56After what she's done, that's practically a death threat.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01She's a murderer.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02She's still Ronnie.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05A few hours ago, you'd have put a ring on her finger.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Are you really going to walk away,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- just cos you find out something you don't like? - DOOR OPENS
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Sometimes, that's the only thing to do.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- I've heard that somewhere before. - KEYS JINGLE
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Go on, then. Walk away.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Can I have a word?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25If you're looking to expand your empire
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and take over Donna's stall as well, then I can't help you.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Actually, it's about the stall we already have.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Turns out I'm not going to be around to help out as much as I thought.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I need your word that you won't be too hard on Kush,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40even if he slips up again.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43If you think he's going to slip up again, then why are you leaving?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Umar's selling the Essex house from under me
0:19:46 > 0:19:50and instead of admit I'm up the creek without a whatsit,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I made out I was here to take care of Kush.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Some mum I am, eh?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Interfering, gently manipulative...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Sounds like a mum to me.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02No offence, but from what I've heard,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I'm not sure I want Zainab as a role model.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I know my mum's not perfect, but if it was her in this situation,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10then she wouldn't be going anywhere.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Ron, will you stop and talk to me?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I don't know what right you think you've got to be angry at me.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm the one who's been kept in the dark over this whole thing.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Yeah, because it's none of your business!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28We weren't even together when it happened -
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- you were out of the country. - Oh, yeah - and if I'd been off,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32becoming a completely different person,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35doing things you'd never think in a million years I'd be capable of,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38wouldn't you want to know about that before we got back together?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- I thought we already were together. - You know what I mean.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Before we go too far down the road.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Are you even going to bother to ask how it happened?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Or why?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51He started jumping to conclusions before I could explain, Ronnie.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It doesn't matter. All right, there's no excuses.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55No, I know, you're right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Which is why I wake up every single day,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00wishing I'd never laid eyes on Carl White.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I was trying to scare him, all right?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I was trying to keep him away from Roxy.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Oh, right? Roxy is a big girl. She can take care of herself.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12No, not this time, she couldn't.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15So I stepped in as always, but I was out of my depth.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Before you tried to kill him?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19No, when he tried to rape me.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22KNOCK AT DOOR
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I never meant to kill him, all right? I was protecting myself.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29But do you know what? You're right, there is no excuse.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33So why don't you walk away now, while you've still got the chance?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Paul just dropped these off.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You'd better look at the card.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44"RIP."
0:21:49 > 0:21:52In a few hours, little man, we'll be cuddled up on the sofa
0:21:52 > 0:21:57with your big sister and your daddy and your Uncle Kyle.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Won't that be good, eh? - DOOR OPENS, KEYS JINGLE
0:22:04 > 0:22:07What's happened? I thought she was going home.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11It's nothing to worry about. It happens sometimes, that's all.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Go back inside.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28How exactly are we going to explain everything to the police?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Someone out there is planning your funeral in great detail.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32What if they go after Matthew next?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Sharon's right. We can't take the risk.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37There is no "we", remember?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Don't do anything. Don't call anyone.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I need time to think.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Look, Jack, she might not show it
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but whatever she's done, she feels it all.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Tell me that's not the Ronnie you've always known.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Hey.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I thought I'd better check in.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'm sorry I was so abrupt before.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Don't worry, you had your hands full.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17So, is Rachel back for good, or...?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21We've talked about how setbacks are common.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24It doesn't mean she won't be back with her family soon.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Just like it won't mean that if you have a wobble.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30"A wobble"? You make it sound like it's nothing.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31This is my second chance -
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I can't afford to mess it up and be back in here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35That's the point.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It wouldn't be messing up - it's all part of the process.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No, you don't get it. Martin and the kids, they need me at home.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43They need me strong.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47I can't mess it up and come back in here after five minutes.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48You won't.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50You're ready for this, Stacey.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We're here if you need us,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56but we wouldn't suggest you go if we didn't think it would work out.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Here they are.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So, you ready for me to take them off your hands?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I think they're going to have a party when I get out of their hair.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- I'll get my coat on - you can put Arthur in the car seat.- Yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Have you seen these?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Pastry cutters!
0:24:25 > 0:24:29They must have been stashed at the back by the tenant before last.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Good job I decided to give it a good clean, eh?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I thought you were only coming back here to pack your stuff?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I was, and then I remembered -
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm your mum and you don't get rid of me that easily,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43no matter what I've done.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47You've done a proper hack job on painting that nursery,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50but it'll do until I can put my own stamp on the place.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- But you said, you said... - Yes, I know.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I might need you at the minute,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59but that doesn't mean you need me any less.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Now, pass me another bin liner.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05There's some plates in here
0:25:05 > 0:25:08look like they were bought for a trip on the ark.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Look, I'm sorry, all right? I got scared.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20One minute, I thought I knew you inside out and the next...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- All that talk of us wanting to be together...- Yeah, I meant it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Why do you think that I didn't tell you before?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Why do you think I was terrified to admit what I'd done?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Because you're ashamed.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37That's how I know you're still the same person.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38You've done things. So what?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43By the sounds of it, this Carl White had it coming.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Which doesn't make it any easier for you to live with,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47cos you're decent.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49"Decent"?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Yeah, that's why you were shaken up on Christmas Day.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56You thought you'd done it again, hadn't you?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You were worried and didn't know how you were going to live with it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I know who you are, Ronnie Mitchell.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05I always have.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I always will.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Now, we're going to put an end to this.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15The flowers came from Pam's stall,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17which means she's got to know who sent them.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I know what I want.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I want you to move away.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I want Ben out of Walford - for good.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Yeah, they were lilies, a huge bunch.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Someone called this morning and placed an order,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but I didn't speak to them, I'm afraid. It was Paul.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Can I speak to him? It'll only take a couple of minutes.- Paul, darling!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The customer this morning that paid for delivery to number 27 -
0:26:51 > 0:26:53did they leave a name?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Yeah, in fact, she said it about ten times,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57like she was scared I'd forget or something.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Mrs Jones.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Danielle Jones.
