0:00:31 > 0:00:34It'll take more than a rogue double-decker bus to keep us lot
0:00:34 > 0:00:36from opening up.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm surprised Stacey hasn't got you home wrapped up in cotton wool.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm all right. It's just a few bruises, that's all.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45That's what my Shaki keeps saying.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I can't seem to shake the image of him, hanging out of a...bus.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Don't look at me like that.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55If you lot can all put it behind you, then so can I.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And there is one silver lining to all this.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00What's that? Max Branning thinking he's the next Iron Man?
0:01:02 > 0:01:07No. The council have put their plans for the covered market on hold.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11And if the idea ever rears its head again, I will be right behind you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'm sorry that I wasn't to begin with.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18No, it's fine. You were thinking of all the options, you know.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Seems like small potatoes, though, don't it, you know, when you...
0:01:23 > 0:01:24You can say that again.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Anyway, if you need to slope off early and get some rest,
0:01:28 > 0:01:29don't be a hero.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Here we go, sweet. No, no. Don't be daft.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39No. We all lost stock in the crash, didn't we?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44The only way we'll get back on our feet is if we all pull together.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45All right, you two?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Yeah, I am now my wheelchair's been fixed and I'm back at work.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Remind me to find whoever pulled strings at the council.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I want to buy them a drink.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Er...you're looking at her.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It was nothing. Just doing my bit, that's all.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, we all owe you one. I was going mad stuck at home.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06How's that little bro hero of mine? Is he all right?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- We are never going to hear the last of that one, are we?- No.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Guys, guys, have you seen this?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17"Walford rebuilds after bus crash." I mean, they almost sound surprised.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19They obviously don't know who they're dealing with, do they?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21No...
0:02:22 > 0:02:23You all right?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Do I look all right?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Sorry, who do you think you are?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'm a grown-up and if something on a phone upsets a kid in this house
0:02:29 > 0:02:30that much, I want to know why.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Look at me. I'm a crying, panicking idiot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Lou, anyone would have been scared in that situation.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Bex wasn't. Or Shakil.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46It was just me up there having a panic attack.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Everyone at school will have seen this by now.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Like things weren't bad enough.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I can go down there if you like. Have a word with the Head.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'm pretty sure they'll have a bullying policy which says
0:02:56 > 0:02:58that sort of thing won't be tolerated.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00All you'll do is make things worse.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I've told Dad and Sharon I'm fine and I meant it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Don't go bothering them with this.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Promise me, Michelle. I can cope with a video going viral.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I can't cope with my dad getting ill again.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28You don't have PE on a Monday.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It's a costume for drama club. What's with the 20 questions?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33These just came.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40From Sam. "The best cousins in the world."
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Right, I'll stick these in water. Jack might want 'em.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Oh, are you done with that? I need to look at flats to let.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I know things are a bit cramped with me being here...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53'Chelle, he's not going cos you've taken the hot water.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No, I...had a bit of trouble.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The social won't let me live with kids.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's only a matter of time they find out I'm still here, so...
0:04:01 > 0:04:02I've got to go.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Right. I'm sure there's something decent in there.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08If it's decent, that means I can't afford it.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Jay, move!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Listen, whatever they're saying in school, just ignore 'em.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17What, like you did when everyone was talking about you and Star?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Right, I want you all home for dinner tonight.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23We're all going to sit around that table for once.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Can't. I'm busy.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32THEY FUSS AND BICKER
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Look now, man, can't you do something about her?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44She woke me up at the crack of dawn vacuuming.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I can hear you, old man!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49And will you stop calling me that?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We're almost the same age, you know!
0:04:51 > 0:04:52SHE CACKLES
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Mum. Mum! Can you not start World War Three just yet?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I can hear them two arguing from upstairs.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Oh, I know, it's almost like having teenagers again.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Makes me glad to be going to back to work.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Are you sure you should be going back today?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Why don't you take some more time out? You're not ready, Mum.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16What, I'm not ready for them or they're not ready for me?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Listen, I can handle whatever the Minute Mart
0:05:19 > 0:05:22or market gossips or anyone else wants to throw at me.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26It's not as if I haven't heard worse off my own sister, is it?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Right. Cheers.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Don't kill each other while I'm gone!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36All right, listen, have a nice day, yeah?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38You're starting to sound like your sister.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Just being friendly.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43A near-death experience has a habit of leaving you full of the joys of life.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Sorry. I'm not much of a comedian, am I?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50No. Let's not think about it any more, all right?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Anyway, I've got some good news.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I made an appointment to see a doctor to have a chat about...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58(..you know, seeing a psychiatrist.)
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Why are you whispering?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We're having a baby, Stace, it's not a secret.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I know, but I don't want the whole world to know!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Especially as it takes so long to get an appointment and there's
0:06:06 > 0:06:09so may risks, you know, I could get ill again.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Now, listen, if you do, things will be different, yeah?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13We're going to do this properly this time,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and we are going to get real support from the off.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18How was it at your mum's?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Sorry I was conked out when you got in last night.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24She was all for calling the school and putting off my mocks because of the "trauma".
0:06:24 > 0:06:25She'd have been scared. I know I was.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Still, in terms of being helpful - not useful.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Right, Louise, no time for brekkie, we're going to be late as it is.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37You haven't got PE today.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44You're bunking off, aren't you?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46So would you be if it was you in that video.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48And don't tell me you haven't seen it, all right?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yo, catfish girl. Who am I?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Please don't drop me! Please don't let me go!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Shut it, both of you!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Shaki was only laughing cos Keegan was.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Don't stick up for him, all right?!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Look, I know he saved me and everything
0:07:04 > 0:07:05but he's just as bad as Keegan.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Look, Louise, if you bunk off, they're going to know
0:07:08 > 0:07:10it's got to you and it is just going to make things worse.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Come on. I'll be by your side the whole time.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Dee! I feel like I've said this a hundred times today,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23but if you need anything -
0:07:23 > 0:07:26a cup of tea, trauma counselling...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I'm fine. Just looking forward to things getting back to normal.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Yeah. That's what everyone else says, but the offer still stands.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh, Kim, she could have died in that crash.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Morning!
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Morning.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Thanks. I'll be sure to give her your best.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Cheers, mate, nice one.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Are people still asking after Whitney?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yeah. I know going to Ryan's was what she wanted
0:08:08 > 0:08:11but I hope she realises how much everyone around here's thinking of her.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Course. How could she not, what with Lee ringing her every ten seconds, you know what I mean,
0:08:15 > 0:08:20to let her know? Poor kid, he's been in bits since he got back.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Can't believe he went back to work.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Anyway, we've got a Chinese night to organise
0:08:24 > 0:08:27and I want that bar ten deep tonight.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Oh, yeah. Your mate Panit rang.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31He wants to know what time to be here to serve tonight.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33All right, babe, I'll bell him back.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Here you go.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Cheers. I've been looking forward to some crispy bacon for days.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I was meaning to pop over and see how you are.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Yeah, well, there's no need, Glenda's over there.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50The mother-in-law that won't go away.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54That's why I'm over here, trying to get out of the house for a bit.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I mean, she has got them back into Walford Primary next week,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59so credit where credit's due, but...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It's better than being on your own, though?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I heard that Dad was brilliant in the crash.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I'm lucky I had my shift at the vet's, I would have been petrified.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Bacon sarnies for the traders?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Oh, yeah. Mick says they're on the house, but don't tell Babe.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Oh! Thanks for that.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And tell your dad that if he wants anything from the market,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24his money won't be any good for a while.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27He really outdid himself, didn't he, helping lift that bus?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yeah. We won't forget what he did.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Thanks.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34From zero to hero, eh?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47One bacon sandwich, one sausage sandwich,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50red sauce on bacon, brown on sausage.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53What did you do, nick me favourite jumper and put a hole in it or something?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It's called being nice, mate. You should try it some time.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Plus... Well, I wanted to ask you something.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Ah, here we go.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06The thing is, right, I found these new flats in the paper this morning.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And one of them is just perfect.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's ten minutes from here and I can move straight in.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12So why ain't you smiling?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Well, cos I either win the lottery, or...
0:10:16 > 0:10:18..find myself a flatmate.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Are you serious?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Yeah. It's not like we haven't lived together before, is it?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And I know how bad your feet smell and it don't really bother me.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28You make it sound like I should be begging to move in.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31You know I can't stay with Phil and Sharon with the social on my back.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And you can't tell me you thought you'd still be living there, either.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36No offence, bruv,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39but I didn't exactly think you'd be the bloke I'd be moving in with.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Just think about it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Me, you - one flat, with two rooms...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Oh, so what I can hear you snoring through the wall instead of right next to me?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52If we play our cards right, we can find somewhere staggering distance
0:10:52 > 0:10:53from the pub.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57We'll bring people back. We'll have parties. We'll have girls...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59We'll have boys...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Think about it - no-one telling us to pick up our dirty rubbish
0:11:02 > 0:11:04or take out the recycling.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I mean, come on, bruv, what do you say?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Fancy living the dream or what?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Texting Keegan?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16You know all that was his idea?
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Yeah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And now Louise has loads of idiots messaging her because of it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Is Lou all right?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yeah. She will be.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32You know, I was hoping I'd bump into you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Well, now you have.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I guess so.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Look, I've got to go. I've got History.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Yeah, yeah, me too. Maybe we could, um, talk after?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48All right, I'll wait for you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Tell 'em we'll come round and see the place after work.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yeah, I'm going to tell Dad and Sharon now.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Bruv, I've got to go.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Don't hang up on my account.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Here.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Sharon...- Yeah?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Can I ask you something?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yeah, yeah, course. I'm glad you're here.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Saves me a trip to the Arches.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I want you all home for dinner tonight.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22A proper family sit down meal.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Your dad keeps pretending we don't need to do it
0:12:25 > 0:12:28but, well, he's still not over the funerals yet.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31And his, well, his health is fragile, no matter what he says.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Look, he might not say this to you, but he loves having you around,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38you know that, don't you? Hm?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Yeah. I'll see what I can do about dinner.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44OK.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Mm. It's like pulling teeth with that lot sometimes.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52So stop trying.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Phil's in there with his feet up, reading the paper.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Seems to be doing pretty well, if you ask me.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I think I know my husband better than you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Are you all right?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Oh, for goodness' sake!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I forgot the kidney beans. What kind of chilli's that gonna be!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Look who I found on the doorstep.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Does your mum know that you've crossed the picket line?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm due back at Oxford in a few days.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And I'm not leaving until the two of you are talking again.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33You know Sharon's running round making sure no-one upsets you?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36To listen to her, you'd think you were still at death's door.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It ain't a crime to care about your husband, is it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Yeah, but do you care about her? That's the real question.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47It doesn't take a genius to see what a state she's in, Phil.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, she can join the club, then, can't she?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52A couple of weeks ago I didn't think I'd be sitting here talking to you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Sharon's been under pressure too.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Worse, cos she's had to face up to the idea of living without
0:13:59 > 0:14:00the man she loves.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Think of all the sleepless nights she's had. The stress.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06And while she's been running around looking after all of you,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08who's been looking after her?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You're feeling better. You've turned a corner.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20So maybe now it's time you took care of Sharon for a change?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27If she pretends that she's not missing your mum, she's lying.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's not about missing her, Vincent. Of course I miss her.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34I just miss the person I thought she was, that's all.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36She hasn't changed, Auntie Kim.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38She's been through something massive
0:14:38 > 0:14:40but she's still the same person she always was.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Well, if there's one good thing
0:14:41 > 0:14:43that's come out of all this fighting,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45it's that Emerald's moved across the road.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49What? I'm kidding!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51All right. No, seriously, though, babe.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Imagine how you would have felt if Dee never walked away from that bus crash
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and you'd not got the chance to apologise.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00But she did and I have nothing to apologise for!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Listen. He's out there somewhere.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08My nephew! Your brother! Being brought up by strangers.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10We could have lost her, Auntie Kim.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Will everybody stop talking about this bus?! Listen.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I can be glad my sister's alive and still not forgive her, you know.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Mum wouldn't have done this if she didn't think it was the best thing for both of them.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24She did it because she's selfish, Libby.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I don't believe that! And neither should you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31If we'd got to know that baby, we would have loved him.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34But we do know Mum. And we already love her.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35And I trust her.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Please don't let her lose her sister as well as her son.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Panit, my old son.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53See this geezer - does the best black bean sauce in East London.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Old family recipe?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Oh, nah. My mum and dad are from Thailand.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I get the recipes off the internet. Which way?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Er, through here. Come here.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07That's it, go straight through...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Oh!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You've got a man from Thailand doing a Chinese buffet?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Yeah. Just put them beers in the fridge
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and I'll go and help him shred his cabbage.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- MUSIC PLAYS - It's wicked.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34You all right?
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Er, why wouldn't she be?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39She tried bunking off this morning.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Oh, I thought she would have mentioned it to you,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44seeing as you're such good friends all of a sudden(!)
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Um, we're the ones that bothered to take care of her
0:16:47 > 0:16:48after what your boyfriend did to her.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51That was Keegan, not Shaki!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Anyway, he's not my boyfriend.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The important thing is not letting them get away with it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57What?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00If she wants people to stop bugging her, she needs to get her own back.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01You really think so?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02- No!- Yes!
0:17:02 > 0:17:03What would she know?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06She was just some sad goth until five minutes ago.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Right, um...I'll walk you home, yeah?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Unless...you want to go to drama club?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19What do you think?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22(See you.)
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Who were you looking round for before? Seemed like you were waiting for someone.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh! No, no-one important.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Right. I've booked us a viewing for seven o'clock.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Now, I know that the idea of us living together is off the cuff,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47right, but the more I think about it, the more it's meant to be.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Meant to be?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Listen...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Don't worry, I ain't gone soft on you.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Just, you know, I didn't think I'd have any good luck,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and if it wasn't for some stupid traffic jam, I could have been
0:17:58 > 0:18:00in that crash, stuck under a bus or something.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Will you shut up for one minute?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Instead if ending up dead,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I've ended up with the number of some fit caring assistant,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08who I've finally had the guts to text, by the way,
0:18:08 > 0:18:09asking if she fancies a drink some time.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Just listen to me, will you?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Oh, you've bottled it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19No, it weren't like that.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Listen, I tried to tell Sharon I'd be moving out...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27and all she kept going on about was how much Dad needs me.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Yeah, and she'll be telling you that until you're 40 if you let her.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33We've been through a lot the past year. Dad's illness,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Ronnie and Roxy... It's not nothing!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's a lot for any family to handle.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Oh, right, so thanks to you
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I'm going to be living in some grotty bedsit.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46One look at that and my date's going to run the other way, isn't she?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Oh, look, my luck's reset itself to "same old, same old".
0:18:58 > 0:19:00We'll need to set a few more places set than that.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I've stuck the chilli in the fridge. We can have it tomorrow.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Me and Phil thought we'd shut out the world and have a romantic dinner in for two.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12She's joking. It's just you and me.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Curry's on order. Garlic naan and extra poppadom, right?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18What about everyone else?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Dennis is out for his tea.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22The rest are on strict orders to see to themselves.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh. Don't I get any say in all this?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Not even a little bit.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Candles your idea, were they?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33What can I say? I'm the romantic type.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You lot going to get involved in that buffet?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Tenner all you can eat plus a free drink.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I recommend the crispy pork balls.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Right, listen, make sure they don't just nurse one drink, all right?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Make sure they ask for refills. Go on.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Your mate the chef, he ain't bad.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's the Queen Victoria, Mother. Only the best, eh?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03'Ello, 'ello, 'ello.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Here they come.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Large white wine, please.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Please, Shirley. I've been reading sympathy cards all day.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21And you're the only one in here I can rely on not to feel sorry for me.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Just pour the wine and let me talk about my day for five minutes,
0:20:24 > 0:20:25can you?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Mm-mm!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Look at that buffet!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Mm-hm! Look at that bar!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Who wants what? Patrick's treat.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Er...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Thanks for dragging me out here.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Just what I could do with - a quiet night, me and my favourite people.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Thank you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00How was school?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Could have been worse.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04What's wrong with your face?
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Don't worry about me.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08If you do head home, keep a low profile.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Your dad and Sharon need some privacy.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Privacy!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Please, don't even go there, it's too gross.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Two chip butties, please? Thank you.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Since when are you friends with Alex and Mads?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I dunno. Since now.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26What does it matter?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Well, I saw them laughing at the video of you on the bus earlier.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31You know, whatever they say,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33they're only thinking about themselves?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36And who are you thinking about?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Even after everything he's done, you're still all about Shaki.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43He saved you from that bus, Louise. Give him some credit.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45He still laughed at that video of me freaking out.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48He probably even helped Keegan post it online!
0:21:48 > 0:21:51And he didn't do anything to stop him catfishing me, did he?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55He's a part of it.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57You're supposed to be my best mate, how can you not get that?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I do get it! I do.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Then promise me you won't get back together with him.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Wait.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You're my best friend and he hurt you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'll do whatever you want.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28So go on, then.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31What nonsense was Michelle filling your head with about me?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36She's just worried about you, that's all.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Well, she shouldn't be, and nor should you.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'm not the one who nearly died.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I don't get to be the one that falls apart.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Which is how you got us through all this.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I mean, how can we move on unless you start to relax?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Relax?!
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Yeah. Why not?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I mean, the worst that could have happened has happened.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04What else could go wrong?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You could start to hate me, how about that?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Fine.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16You want me to relax, then tell the truth about the adoption.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Why did you really agree to give your boy up?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Because he's not, is he?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27He's not my boy. Not really.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Except he is, Phil.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33He's a Mitchell and you won't ever get to know him.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's what Denise wanted.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39It's what I wanted.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Please tell me that's not why you agreed to give him up.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48How could it be? It's the first I've heard about it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50But you don't exactly look surprised.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Sharon, you fought for me to have my say.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57You stood in my corner when Denise,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00she wanted me to be cut out of the whole thing.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04But my heart wasn't in it, is that it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:11You know, Sharon, I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for you.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17So I took your feelings into account. Why's that a bad thing?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Because I don't want you to wake up in ten years' time and wish
0:24:19 > 0:24:22you could exchange him for me, that's why.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23No.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Ain't going to happen.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26You don't know that.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32It ain't just about you. It's about what Denise said as well.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38About our age. How I've screwed things up with my own kids.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43She was right. Letting him go was...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46..was the right thing to do.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You and Dennis...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54..you're my real second chance.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02That's the most I've heard you say in years.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yeah, well, don't get used to it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11You little mob are welcome any time!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Oi. Your mates are eating like horses and drinking like fish.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17We are making a fortune!
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Yeah. I'm going to have to up my game with the quiz if I'm going to beat this.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22You'll be sweet, boy, you'll be sweet.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I only want champagne. None of that cheap muck!
0:25:25 > 0:25:28She's been like this all night. What time is Tina coming to pick it up?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Not long. She's just scrubbing the flat while you two are out,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32that's all.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35That reminds me, Tina wanted me to run something past you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Apparently Sylvie wants to do, like, a Suzie Wong cabaret act
0:25:39 > 0:25:40from The Good Old Days.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42She goes anywhere near that stage
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and there'll be a stampede in the opposite direction.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Yeah. This Sylvie's idea, was it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I think Tina gave her a bit of a nudge.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Said it'll bring back some good memories.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well, it's ridiculous. Just show her a video or something.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Now it's a definite no.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01What's up with you tonight? You've hardly eaten a thing.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I've got a confession to make.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Relax, it's nothing exciting - I, um...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I've spoken with Auntie Kim.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19And I told her she had to come and make things up with you and I invited her here tonight.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21But she hasn't shown up.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I'm so sorry, Mum. I thought I could change her mind.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I didn't want to leave without you having all the support you needed.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Sorry, so what, I'm your "problem" all of a sudden?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33No, no, no, she didn't mean it like that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37We're all worried about you and Kim not talking.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41In that case, and that goes for all of you, I'm fine.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Look, I don't regret what I did,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48even though there's certain people that think that I should.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53I want a new future. And I owe that to myself.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I owe that to the baby, so...
0:26:56 > 0:27:00..darling, I love you for trying, but please don't.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I am going to get through this and I'm going to come out
0:27:05 > 0:27:06the other side just fine...
0:27:08 > 0:27:09..whatever it takes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20< PHIL AND SHARON LAUGH
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Hey. I owe you a big thanks.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Oh, don't be daft.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Seriously. You've got me and Phil sitting down and clearing the air.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48You deserve a medal in my book.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You always were the one with your head screwed on.
