Phil?

I'm fine, Sharon, just go back to bed.

You don't have to do this, you know.

Sharon, I said...

I said, "I'm fine."

Just go back to bed, please.

Ian.

Ian! Wake up, it's the hospital.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Ian Beale.

Right.

OK.

Yeah, thanks for letting us know.

Yeah, yeah. Bye.

Well...?

Erm...

Oh. She's had a...stable night.

They're going to take her down for a CT scan now and...

if her spine is stable,

then they're going to try and wake her up this afternoon.

Well, that's good news, isn't it?

It's not all your fault, Ian.

Really? That's not what her mum said yesterday.

Yeah, well, what does she know? Anyway, you can't think like that.

Was...that about Mum?

Bobby, go in the kitchen, all right? I'll be with you in a minute.

Listen to me, Ian.

You can't sink now.

I called Lauren yesterday.

Well, I didn't think Peter would want to be

on the other side of the world

knowing you're going through all this.

They're on their way.

-Really?

-Yes, really.

So, come on now, you pull yourself together.

The only thing you should be thinking about now

is what's best for Jane.

HE HUMS "HEAR COMES THE BRIDE"

This instead of wedding cake?

Yeah, well, you know...

seeing as ours didn't get there.

Oh-ho!

Here you are.

Get that all in there. Look at that.

INDISTINCT

Right, well, I should really be getting to the suppliers.

I should get dressed an' all.

Whoa, whoa. Come back.

No, I need to speak to Abi.

Are you sure you should be getting involved in this?

Well, someone has to. Max is innocent.

-Of course I'm worried about her.

-PHONE RINGS

She's my sister, I can't help it.

Look, she's a big girl.

If she wants to be found, she'll make it known. Hello?

Yeah, number five. I'll be right there.

They're here to collect these toilets.

Any word from Ian and Kathy about Jane?

No. No, they're staying at Dot's.

I'm going to pop in after I drop off Denny.

Yeah, well, give him our best, yeah?

-Yeah, course, yeah.

-I'm going to take Amy to her friends.

All right, I'll see you later.

I'm... I'm out.

I'm going to the Arches to do some paperwork.

But you've hardly slept, Phil.

-I've not touched your stupid charger, you stupid cow.

-Yeah?

Well, if I find it in your room, you are dead.

Phil...

Nice one. Oi!

Don't you just love Inset days?

Right, come on, you.

Let's get you off to be weighed.

Right, go and get your stuff ready.

I'm going to drop you off at Honey's.

What? But I want to go for a bike ride!

Tough!

Not a good time, Ian.

I've had a phone call...

from the hospital.

I don't know, we'll sort something out.

Rox!

Roxy!

Where've you been? Are you OK?

-What do you care?

-Of course I care.

What, you care so much,

you're trying to keep me away from my own daughter?

Do you really want Amy to see you like this?

Listen, I know you miss her

-but, the truth is, you're in no fit state to look after her.

-Really?

I'm sorry if it sounds cruel, but it's the truth.

Look, why don't you pop over in about an hour?

-We can all have a coffee and talk about things.

-Talk?

You mean, let Jack have a go at me whilst you sit there and listen?

Roxy, I'm on your side, always...

but there's no way round it,

you're going to have to prove you're up to this.

So, they didn't say when?

-Just this afternoon?

-Yeah.

I really think we should all be there for Jane.

I know how your mum feels about me...

Can you blame her?

Your son did this.

I know what it looks like, all right? But it's...

It's complicated.

If you'd just let me explain,

there is no way I ever wanted anything to happen to Jane.

I mean, that woman's my life.

Christian?!

I thought I made myself clear.

Don't you dare come near any of us!

Voicemail again.

Where's she run off to, eh?

I'm surprised she could run anywhere after yesterday.

What?

I'm just going to get some breakfast.

Good, I'll come with you.

Charming.

Les, you're a star.

Open up for us, Billy, will you?

-You all right, Bill?

-Not really.

Peggy Mitchell, eh?

I still can't quite believe it.

Don't look at me.

I won't be shedding any tears.

All right.

Heard you tossing and turning last night.

Oh, it's just...

That Babe. I can't bear it.

Another one, after yesterday?

Yeah, sent 7am. Next payment is due.

I'm not having it.

Calm down. I mean, even if it is her...

What do you mean "if", Les?

She as good as admitted it.

Should have seen the expression on her face.

She was enjoying it.

I mean, what kind of person does that, and why?

It's just so...

twisted.

-You know, maybe we should just...

-We need...

to confront her together, Les.

Ian, don't do this to yourself.

Jane's mum never liked you anyway.

She's right, though, isn't she?

Yeah, but you weren't on your own in this.

Yeah, but the more we protected him,

made excuses for him and forgave him -

it just fed the monster, didn't it?

I mean, you saw it.

-I mean, you warned me.

-Ian, stop.

Look, it was easy for me to say at the time, but...

being with Bobby in the police station...

He really is just a child, isn't he?

I just keep seeing Jane lying there.

What if she never talks again?

Or walks? Moves?

We'll deal with it together.

How's Phil?

Ah, you know...

falling apart, won't go back home,

but playing the big man.

Well, look, he's probably scared.

I mean, it's a big thing going back into a house where...

He's lucky, though, ain't he?

He's got you.

No, you listen to me, Auntie Caroline,

you put your feet up, all right?

No arguments.

If you need anything, you just give me a call, OK?

OK, bye.

Not much fun for you, is it, on your own?

Well, Will and Janet - they'll be back from their party after lunch.

Tell you what...

let's go to the park!

-No, I'm all right here.

-Come on.

Bit of fresh air will do us both some good.

He said it was Bobby and no-one listened to him.

I already told you, I ain't interested.

But he's your dad.

Don't you want to see him come home?

-I'm already running late, I haven't got time for this.

-Oh, Abi.

When are you going to get this? I don't care.

If you want to go fighting for him, that's up to you -

but he's done nothing but hurt me.

I'm done with him.

I don't get it.

-What, you just changed your mind, just like that?

-No.

Not "just like that".

I was up for it, Jay, I just...

I could have died yesterday.

I've got Amy to think about.

I'm sorry, all right? I didn't mean to mess you about.

So, what have you done with the gear?

-I flushed it.

-You flushed it?

Yeah. Like I should have done yesterday.

Are you mad, Rox?

-All that gear...

-No, I'm not mad.

Actually, for the first time in my life,

I think I've come to my senses.

Are you going to stand there all day?

I've just come to give it the once over.

No-one's been back since.

Do you need a hand?

No, I'm fine on my own.

Of course you are.

Come on then.

At least eat something.

It could be a long day.

Mum, I'm not hungry.

I'm coming with you.

Someone's got to look after you.

Dad...

I... I made this for Mum.

Please.

I'm really sorry.

All right?

Upstairs?

Thanks for coming over.

I really appreciate it.

Well, you said you wanted to explain, so...

I'm waiting.

I mean, what on earth has happened?

There's rumours flying all over the Square

and I don't know what to believe.

It's a long story.

Oh, I bet.

First Steven, now Bobby. I mean, there is a re-occurring theme here.

-No, Christian...

-That boy.

She only ever loved him.

Loved him more than anything in the world -

so you tell me, Ian, why he'd do something like that to her?

Because she loved him more than anything in the world.

What?

Bobby killed Lucy.

Jane covered it up.

So, come on, where've you been all these weeks?

Look, I was messed up.

I was lost.

A mate of mine...

talked me into dealing drugs, and...

it seemed to make everything so much better...

and then...

Well, then everything got so much worse,

and then I realised how stupid I was being.

I will pay you back, I promise.

What, with the money you've got coming in?

Look, it really is over.

I just want my family back.

What made you come to your senses?

Because I can't bear the way I left Amy.

I was here last week.

SHE SCOFFS

I got to say goodbye to Auntie Peggy

and I didn't come in because I knew you'd give me that look.

I messed up, I went off the rails, but...

..you know why.

Don't you think I deserve a chance?

Where are you going to live?

Cos you can't stay here.

-Jack.

-It's all right.

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

I've rented the flat above Donna.

Well, that's a bit pricey.

Not in the state it's in.

The last tenants, they trashed it

and the landlord's desperate to get rid of it quick, so...

I guess I got lucky, eh?

Jane would have rather gone to prison herself than hand him in.

Look, he's...

He's your child, you stand by him, no matter what.

That's what she wanted and that's what she did,

and she wasn't going to have it any other way.

You know what Jane's like, she's the most loving,

loyal person in the world.

But you must have known it was never going to work.

Christian, she didn't tell me till our wedding day.

That's why you went missing.

She...

She thought it was an accident.

OK? That he just lashed out.

Look, anyone can lash out, can't they?

It just takes a split second.

He...

didn't seem to realise what he'd done and...

..we thought we were protecting him from the truth.

I mean, we really did think it was an accident...

..but now...

You know, I'd give anything to be in that hospital bed instead of her.

Look, Ian, I'll talk to Mum

but I can't promise you she'll listen.

That's up to her, but...

she can't keep me away.

I am going to visit my wife.

I wonder what was going through her head.

I could never do this to people I love.

Just leave them with all...this.

Maybe it's a good thing that nobody was there at the very end.

Those last few seconds, they're heart breaking.

Maybe it was kinder.

"Kinder?"

Not for the person who finds you, it ain't.

When I found Phil on that landing, he...

He looked like a broken man.

That look in his eyes.

He's walked in here and he found his mother dead.

How do you ever get over that?

Right, you do the wardrobe.

The suitcase is down there.

What you looking at?

I'm just admiring your bed-stripping skills.

Well, at least we change the sheets in this house.

Yes, I know it's a bit early for ice cream

but I won't tell anyone if you don't...

That was my mum.

She said I can walk home on my own if I want to.

Oh. Well, that's OK.

I guess you're a big lad, aren't you?

Just stick with me, all right?

I'm going to do it. Honest.

Do you fancy a drink tonight?

We can celebrate new beginnings and all that.

No, we're busy tonight.

BABY CRIES

Well, that's the end of his nap.

I'm going to go and get him up.

Now, I'm warning you -

you back off.

All right? I might have been playing along for Ronnie's sake

but let me make this very clear -

you can forget about Amy staying in whatever dump you've found yourself,

cos you are damaged.

You'll never change

and I don't want her anywhere near you.

Now get out.

Go on.

It's a bit early, ain't it?

She didn't have much stuff.

She only had one suitcase.

Here you are.

Cheers.

You know, when I think of all them years,

we tore strips off each other.

All them years of points scoring.

I would have paid good money to have her wiped off the face of the earth

and I'm sure there were many times she wanted me dead, an' all.

I can't imagine that.

You know, when she found out I'd bought the Vic from under her nose,

I really thought she'd kill me with her bare hands.

First Grant,

then her precious Phil.

Oh, that really hurt.

That one pushed her right over the edge.

She'd do anything to keep him away from me.

Takes one to know one.

Didn't work, though, did it?

Who would have thought, eh,

that things would turn out like this?

Is this really about Peggy?

Or is it about Phil?

Excuse me.

Do you know Jane?

I'm...

I'm her mother.

Oh.

I'm Linda.

Linda Carter, I'm Jane's friend.

Come on, come with me.

Let's get you inside.

If we just go into the pub here.

So, all Phil has to do is instruct his lawyer and that's it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's all done.

Decree absolute. Marriage over.

Phil got the same one this morning.

So, what? Are you...?

No.

No, no, no, we're back together.

So, what's the problem?

Come on, Sharon, spit it out.

I don't know, Shirley.

It's just, wherever I go and...

whatever I do,

I always seem to end up back with him.

I do love him,

but it never ends well.

You know how he's treated me.

You'd be hard pushed to find someone to hurt you that much.

I mean, just this morning,

I saw he was in a right mess,

but he just shut me out again.

I mean, why do I keep doing it to myself?

Am I just feeling sorry for him?

Are you looking for an escape route?

-No.

-Well, he's not going to have a personality transplant, is he?

I just need to know I'm in it for the right reasons.

Right reasons or wrong reasons, you're in it...

so get on with it.

Sitting there knocking that back - it ain't going to help, is it?

Hi, it's me.

There you go, Mrs Clarke.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

Call me Linda.

Oh, don't mention it.

You've got a good name.

I begged her to stay away from that man,

but she wouldn't have it.

Everything he touches, he damages.

He's ruined her life...

-Well...

-..and now look at her.

Really, Birdie, maybe we should think about this.

I have.

This is the best time to do it, before they get busy.

Now...

What can I get you?

Why are you doing this to us?

Don't know what you mean.

Do you?

What happened to make you like this?

Or are you just a sad, lonely, old woman?

Pam.

That's quite all right.

Just let me know when you've made up your minds.

Mum...

Where've you been?

You've been to see him, haven't you?

He is her husband.

Look, you might not want to hear this,

but she does love him.

I mean, the way she stuck by him through that awful time

when Lucy was murdered...

I mean, the way they stuck with each other...

You're not going to keep him away.

DOOR OPENS

Hey.

How's the paperwork going?

Phil...

look at me, please.

Sharon I know that you're trying to help here, but...

just leave it, will you?

I can't.

I promised Peggy.

I saw her that night...

..and she told me to...

keep an eye on you when she can't do it.

She told me, not asked.

Please come home with me.

I just...

I know.

That's why I went there and I cleared up a bit,

so you could go back...

You what?

Well, I've tidied up a bit, so... it makes you a bit more comfortable.

Who said you could touch her stuff, eh?!

-Phil!

-Who said you could touch her stuff?!

We've started to gradually withdraw the sedation.

What we're hoping for

is that Jane will actually wake up of her own accord.

How long are we looking at?

An hour? Three? What?

I know this is a huge strain,

but it is a waiting game.

It's going to be a long night.

Ian!

Ian?

He's hardly slept at all.

It's all right, Mum, I'm fine.

Go home and get some rest.

I need to be here with Jane.

You're no good to her in this state.

I promise -

anything changes,

anything at all -

I will call you.

What, you just...

You just clear her away, eh?

You just clear her away?

No! No, I haven't.

Well, where's her clothes, Sharon?!

I've packed them.

You've packed them?

Well, put them back, put them back.

No, Phil, stop.

Just get off me, Sharon.

She's gone, Phil!

She's gone!

She's not coming back.

Flat-warming present.

Oh, that's sweet.

It's grim up there. Can we do this later?

Look, if this is about before...

You know I've always got your back, don't you?

I know, I know.

-Shall I call you later?

-Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Are you sure about this?

What made you change your mind?

I don't know.

You know me, only a matter of time before I mess up again.

Best get on with it, eh?

Look, I'm just going to pop to the Minute Mart.

Are you sure you're going to be OK?

Ready?

Let's go for it.

-When we coming back?

-Don't worry, not for a while.

Yes!

DOORBELL RINGS

Lauren!

Where's Peter?

Steven?
