0:01:04 > 0:01:06You know what, bruv? You're really starting to annoy me now.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Oi! Do I have to make you line up again?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Been up half the night with Chatham.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11I can't be dealing with you two and all.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14What you doing, keeping the cereal up there?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Keeping you from hoovering it up again.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I ain't made of money, you know. Chatham! Riley!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21That's for Bernie! You're big enough to take care of yourself.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Where is she?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Probably locked in the bog, stuffing her face with cake.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Oi, madam, don't walk away from me.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Have you had your period yet?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Travis kept looking at me like I've got two heads or something.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I couldn't stand it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37You sure you're not just being paranoid, sweetheart?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39No, of course not.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42You just don't know what it's like having everyone talk about you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's humiliating.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Couldn't hack it, so I walked away. I'm not doing the showcase any more.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Well, if that's what you want to do.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's not what I want to do. I had to do it!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Right, you going to open some more presents
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- before you go to school, yeah? - Here, this one's from me.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Er, I'm in a bit of a crisis, actually.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Darling, it's his birthday.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03He's 11! No-one cares about 11. It's a non-birthday.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Oh, yes! I've been dying to try this one!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'd never have known that
0:02:10 > 0:02:13from the way you've been nagging your mother about it 24/7.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Cheers, Michelle.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right, I'd better get going.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Tubes have been a nightmare the past few days.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Plus you don't want to miss a certain you-know-who
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- on your journey.- Haven't seen Tom for the past few days, actually.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Not that it matters. I mean, that's London for you, innit?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Right, well, don't be late.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'm doing a special dinner for the birthday boy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ooh, yeah, you don't want to miss out on sausage and chips.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Pizza, actually.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- I'll be here, don't worry. - See you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Right, well, I've decided I'm moving schools next term.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Not that anyone gives a stuff about what I do.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I usually just have toast or cereal before school.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55You ain't going vegan on me again, are you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Anyway, I didn't get you here for the bacon.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Listen, by the time Dot comes out of hospital,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I want us all settled in number 25.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You know, I really just want a proper home again.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Me and you - like it used to be.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I thought the council wouldn't allow Dot that many lodgers.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Well, that's what Dot said,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14but I'm sure a bit of sweet talking can fix that.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I wouldn't want her to get into trouble or anything.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Maybe we should just wait for a little bit.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Wait till the time's right.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Listen, the time IS right. I've been away from you long enough.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I asked you a question.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Just cos I haven't got it yet doesn't mean I am.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- How long have you been having sex? - I told you I haven't!
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Right, that's it. Forget school.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44We got more important things to deal with,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48like finding out whether you've got yourself up the duff or not.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I'm not sure how late I'm going to be.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I think we're just expected to stick around until the work's done.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57You make it sound like a holiday and not overtime.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01No, it's just, this is my chance to feel like part of the team.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02You don't know what it's like,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04always having to rush off to make Louie's bedtime.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07What is that, a dig that I don't do enough?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Louie's ready. - Thanks, Jane.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11No, 'course it ain't.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'm just saying, it can be hard sometimes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19It might be nice to feel like part of the real world.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Right. Well, you enjoy that, Lauren.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Why can't he just be happy for me?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31He's a Beale. They struggle with change.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34My phone charger!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Jane, have you seen my phone charger?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Uncle Jack, do you fancy coming to visit Dot with me later?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I've called in a favour from the nurses, you know,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44to get round visiting hours.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I can't, darling. Got to dash off to a meeting.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's if Ingrid ever shows her face.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- It's for Dot, from me and Kath. - Aw, that's so lovely of you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Dot hasn't got much of an appetite at the moment,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58but I'm sure the nurses will make good use of them.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I've been trying to get through to the Citizens Advice
0:05:01 > 0:05:02about Dot's housing situation, but...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I keep forgetting, you've been through all this, haven't you?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Yeah. Seems like a million years ago now.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Not that I've forgotten Mum, or what you did for us.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Like anyone's gonna forget Sylvie and her singing, eh?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I got on a bit better with her after you left.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I just felt in control, like I was giving her some sort of decent life.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26And looking back now, I'm so pleased I had that time with her.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- What? - Nothing. You've...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33You've just changed, that's all.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Not too much, I hope.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Jack, I'm so sorry.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44There's so many roadworks. The bus got held up.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, well, that's my fault, is it?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Hello?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Hi, my name's Sonia Fowler.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'd like to speak to someone about a housing problem.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59She was really good about the whole Keegan thing, but, you know,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- I think... She's my stepmum. - It's not the same, is it?- No.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, four o'clock, yeah?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Jane's gonna watch the kids while we go to the caff
0:06:05 > 0:06:06and have a girlie catch up.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I've got some exciting news to tell you, but don't tell your father.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'll tell you all the gossip later.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Oh, yeah, your life's one long nightmare with her around, innit?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, did Mr Pryce tell you I'm working on the showcase?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I'm doing the sound.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I couldn't care less, but thanks for the update.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Working behind the scenes is pretty geeky.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Wonder what Keegan will have to say.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Like I care what he thinks.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'll see you at Dennis' do later?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Will people stop going on about his stupid birthday?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Window cleaning duty again? Billy has got you well under the thumb.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Yeah, well,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43if it gets me out of the office for a bit, then who's complaining, eh?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Look what came through the post after you left.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52A credit card.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Addressed to the previous tenant.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Didn't have to sign for it or anything.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We could, you know, run it up, and no-one would know.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Yeah, and in other news, the streets are paved with gold,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and the Minute Mart's giving away free ice-cream.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Put it in the nearest bin.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16KNOCK AT DOOR
0:07:21 > 0:07:23You do realise that we're never going to pull this
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- craft beer event off with no staff? - Good morning to you, too.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yeah, I'll have a look at them CVs a bit later.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Well, there's no need.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30I've already done it, made a few calls,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and we've got some interviews set up for this afternoon.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Well, you know that Tracey's interested, don't you?
0:07:35 > 0:07:3830 years' experience behind the bar. Won't get any better than that.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yeah, I know, we've got to go through the motions,
0:07:40 > 0:07:41but Tracey gets my vote.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Good, well, she goes on the list. Glad you're finally seeing sense.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Dave all right? Not that I should worry about him.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53If he hadn't tripped me up, I wouldn't be in here.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55No, he's fine.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Here, Robbie gave him a tin of tuna. He thought Christmas had come early.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I shall never be able to get rid of him if he got that treatment.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- I spoke to the sister earlier, outside.- Oh, did you?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08She said that you'll be ready to move to the rehab ward soon.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'd rather go home.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Talking of that, I've been on the phone to the Citizens Advice,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17and they say you can have as many lodgers as you have rooms.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Oh. Well, the rules must have changed.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Well, maybe, yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23But the council were worried last time about you subletting.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I did not sublet, Sonia! I let Cora live in my house
0:08:27 > 0:08:30while I was visiting my granddaughter, Dotty.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35She took lodgers in, charged them rent, pocketed the money,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39didn't pay the council, they found out, and I was up in court.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Yes, I know.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Anyway, I couldn't live with strangers.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47We ain't talking about strangers, are we? We're talking about me!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Me, Robbie, and Rebecca.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- Yes, well... - Dot!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54We want to move in with you, and we want to look after you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Yes, but I couldn't have Robbie, not with that dog of his.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02No, Dot, he lost Wellard II a while back.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Oh, no, did he? Oh, I am sorry.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08No competition for Dave, though, is there?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, it would be nice to have Rebecca there.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Young person would liven the place. - There you go.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17But where would we all sleep?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I mean, we ain't got enough rooms.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Well, we would have, once we get you settled downstairs.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Downstairs?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, yeah. Why not? Grandad loved it in there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29No, he did not.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33He couldn't go upstairs, so he had to be downstairs.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I mean, once I'm out of hospital, I shall be right as rain.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I won't need to be confined to me bed like he was, poor soul.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yes, but...- Now, I don't want to talk about it no more.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well? What does the test say?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We usually ask you to come in with a pregnancy test already taken.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Yeah, so the snotty receptionist said. I said,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59"If I had a tenner, I wouldn't give it to my kid to pee on".
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Are you OK with having your mum here for this, Bernadette?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Yeah, 'course she is! Come on, spit it out!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Well, the test confirms you're pregnant.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10"Never had sex," she says. You little...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Do you know what the date of your last period was?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17A bit ago. I don't really keep track.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Well, it is important we try and work out how far along
0:10:19 > 0:10:22the pregnancy is, but we can come back to that.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I don't want to sound intrusive, but I have to ask -
0:10:25 > 0:10:26was the sex consensual?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- What?- She's asking if the bloke forced you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- 'Course not! - He has a name, though, I take it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36And don't even think about lying, cos I'll know.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I don't want to say who it was.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40That's your choice, but you're underage,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42which means I'll need to be in contact with social services.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43No, don't contact soash!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's about making sure that Bernadette is safe
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and has all the support she needs.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Yeah, she's got me. What other "support" does she need?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52See what you've caused, girl?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I understand you'll both need some time for this to sink in.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Ideally, we'd book a follow-up appointment for
0:10:57 > 0:11:00as soon as possible, so I can start organising a scan and put you
0:11:00 > 0:11:03in contact with a local team of midwives.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I just want to go home.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08In the meantime, here are some leaflets.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10They'll explain a bit about your options.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Yeah, thanks for nothing.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Who are you two?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Do you not listen to anything I tell you?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26That's Lance, that one's Cole. This is me brother, Jay.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28They're new recruits.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Oh, hello.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Here you are - elevenses. Don't get used to it.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So, er, well, I've been thinking...
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Ah! See, I knew it!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I knew you wouldn't be able to get that card out of your head.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yeah, all right. Calm down, calm down.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I still think it's risky, and stupid,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and we're mugs to go anywhere near it with our records.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58But...?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03But if we only did it once,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and we were careful, nothing could be traced back to us.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06It goes without saying!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Listen, bruv, I don't want any more grief than you do, but...
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I mean, come on. It's like free money.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Well, then we could...
0:12:17 > 0:12:18I don't know, off the top of me head,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22we could get a super sweet speaker system or something.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Yeah, for the house.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25You know, a one-off, a completely necessary purchase.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yeah, and if we did get caught,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29we could just say the old tenants bought it before they left.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38That was true what you told the doctor, ain't it?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39About the bloke not forcing you?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43You know you can tell me anything?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45You ain't got to be embarrassed or ashamed.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47He didn't force me, I just don't want to talk about it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Oh! Well, it's done, anyway.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Just got to figure out what to do about it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53You want me to get rid of it, don't you?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55You're 15. What are you going to do with a baby?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57You were about my age when you had Chantelle.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I can be just as good a mum as you. All I want is a chance.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02This ain't some video game!
0:13:02 > 0:13:05You don't get another life if you mess up the first one!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm surprised you get a moment's peace living next door to that lot.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You want to hear the language. Turns the air blue.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- How's Dot doing? - Yeah, much better, thanks, Don.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- You'll give her our love, won't you? - Yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Oh, I know that look.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20That's the look that says, "I'm pretending to the world
0:13:20 > 0:13:22"that everything's fine, but deep down, actually I'm..."
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Everything IS fine.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Dot's on the mend, she's agreed that it's best that we move
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- into number 25 to look after her. - "We" as in...?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Look, I'm not giving up on the idea of Bex moving in with us,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Martin, even if it means us sharing a room.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36What, and you think that's what's best for her, do you?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Sharing a room when she's got her A-Levels to study for?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40What's best for her is being under the same roof as me.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I'm her mum.- Yeah, but this definitely ain't going to happen,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Son, without some sort of discussion.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I mean, even this morning, her and Stace,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- chatting about the new baby... - What?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Well, thanks for coming in, Trace. - We'll be in touch, yeah?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Thank you. - Appreciate it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Told you, didn't I?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well, let's just see what the other candidates have to offer, shall we?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Mick, you going to do the honours?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah, I'll do the honours. Don't worry.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Oh! Didn't expect you, darling!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13All right? Sorry, I hope I'm not late!
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Arthur started being a bit clingy
0:14:14 > 0:14:17the minute that I left him with Jane. It's typical, innit?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19And would that be a problem if you worked here?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Sorting the kids out?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Well, no, cos my shift wouldn't start until Martin got home
0:14:22 > 0:14:25from work, so he'd just have to cope, wouldn't he?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I don't run away from my responsibilities.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Well, why do you want to work here? You love childminding.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I do, I ain't giving it up. It's just...
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Well, I just want something for me.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You know, I get paid to look after Louie,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41but it's only what I'd be doing with Arthur anyway, so...
0:14:41 > 0:14:45My cousins used to own this place. I loved working here.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I guess it's just about getting my independence back, you know,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51getting back to what I used to be before I was just a mum.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Make sense?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Sis, Dave is still not back.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I haven't seen him since yesterday, have you?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I've more important things to worry about than a stray cat, Robbie!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Thank you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13No, I'm sorry you had to find out like that.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Thought Bex might have told you about the baby by now.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Listen, I'm really happy for you and Stacey, you know.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22And I'll be here for you, just like I was when Arthur was born.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24But Bex is my daughter, and I want her to live with me.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Son, you can't just come marching back in here and
0:15:26 > 0:15:27take her away from us.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30You didn't seem to have a problem with the status quo whilst
0:15:30 > 0:15:32you was living it up in Kettering, did you?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I was working for a living, not sunning myself on some yacht.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36All right, whatever. Look, Bex has got studying to do,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and she can't be bunking down with you sharing a room.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40She needs her mum.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I mean, let's face it, her life hasn't exactly been
0:15:42 > 0:15:45plain sailing since she moved in with you and Stacey.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47No, but we're the ones who've been there to help her.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Look, she's finally getting her life back on track.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Why do you want to go and change things now?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Now that you need a free baby-sitter on tap, you mean?
0:15:55 > 0:15:56That is...
0:15:56 > 0:15:58That is really low, Son.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Just call me when you've seen sense, all right?- Yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'll give them a call and see if I can get in touch
0:16:08 > 0:16:10with the URS department, but, with all of us knuckling down,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12we should be able to knock it out the park by midnight, easy.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Does anyone have a phone charger that I can borrow?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Mine seems to have gone walkabouts. - No, sorry.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Here.- Oh, thank you.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25You know, everyone will understand if you need to leave early.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Just sneak off, no judgement.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31No. I'm here for the long haul. Just like you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Cute family.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Must be nice to have someone like him to go home to.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Made your favourite. Squishy cheese with the crusts cut off.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Babies ain't like dolls, Bernie.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02You know, it's hard. Like, 24/7 hard.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05What if you get one like Chatham and Riley that needs you
0:17:05 > 0:17:06in the middle of the night?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- I won't care. I'll still love it. - Love?!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Come back to me when you ain't slept for five years,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15when you're pushing 20 and you look 40.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Then we'll talk about love!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I guess Bex just doesn't really get it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Yeah, that Sharon must be an absolute nightmare.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32She can be.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I feel really bad about letting Mr Pryce down over
0:17:37 > 0:17:38this whole showcase thing...
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- So what if Bex doesn't get it? - It's not like she's your only mate.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Do you two fancy doing something? It's my step-brother's
0:17:46 > 0:17:49birthday thing, and I am desperate to be anywhere else.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Sounds good to me.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Cool. I'll just grab my bag from my locker. Wait for me.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01So, this showcase - you'll need a new Juliet
0:18:01 > 0:18:04now Louise has chucked her toys out of the pram.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yeah, but aren't you guys mates?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Just sign me up, yeah? - All right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- We good?- Totally.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Have you tried hitting a tin of cat food with a fork?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Oh, I guess you have.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28You wouldn't think it would be this hard trying to do right
0:18:28 > 0:18:29by an ageing relative.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35First Martin kicks off about Bex moving in, then the cat moves out!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You ain't having the best day, are you?
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Honestly, Tina, all I want is my family safe and under one roof.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Look at them now.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm trying my hardest to be a part of Bex's life.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- It's like she's forgotten me. - Hey, don't say that!
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Listen, nothing stands still, and things have changed, yeah. Even me!
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Now, you know I love my Trace.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I've made a decision on the new barmaid.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Stacey.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Good choice. - But she's pregnant.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22She'll only be here a fortnight,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24then she'll have some screaming kid attached to her.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It's shift work. She can fit it around her family commitments.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'll see you later.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I don't know what's worse - you letting Tracey go,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34or letting Lady Muck drag you around by your nose.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40You weren't out of order. And I'm not upset with you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I want us to be mates, more than anything.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Mates. That's it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Please don't be upset.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49I'm not upset. I'm...
0:19:51 > 0:19:52..I'm just gutted.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57You and me was the best, most stable relationship I've ever had.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01We weren't right for each other, T. We made each other miserable.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yeah, but in a good way.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Look, I just... I forgot how good we were together.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12And then I remembered, and then I got all over-excited.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17And you were thinking I was all grown-up and mature now.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20No, you are! And I'm proud of you, honestly I am.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25It's what you always wanted for me. To start acting my age.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Well, maybe if I had done at the time, we'd still be together.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34No, I don't think it works like that.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I don't think you can make people fall in line.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39They've just got to get there in their own time.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Get me a drink. I'll be back, I promise.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54There you go.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Just how you like them. Took the crust off for you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11That was Mick. I got the job!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Well done! - Yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Oh, good. - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:21:15 > 0:21:16I'll get that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Martin, you could at least be happy for me.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I worked really hard to get that job.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'm proud of you, Stace, I am. It's just...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Look, it's only just until the baby's born, though, innit?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33It's all right. I haven't come round for a fight.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I realised I'd forgotten something really important.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I forgot to ask where YOU wanted to live.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- I...- Please, just be honest.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Look, I'm glad you're back.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52And you don't know how much I've missed you. But...
0:21:56 > 0:21:57..but I just feel settled here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04And having the kids around... I mean, yeah it's noisy
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and it's mad half the time, but...
0:22:08 > 0:22:09..but I kind of like it.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14'Course you do.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- It's OK that you do. - Really?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Well, look, whatever happens, it's not set in stone, is it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25We can keep talking.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27You'll always have two homes.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29But for now you'd like to stay here, yeah?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33OK, well, that's settled, then.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34I'm only going to be a few doors down,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36it's not exactly a million miles away, is it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37- No, exactly. - Exactly!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And I can come round for dinner two, three, four times a week.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41You'll be sick of the sight of me!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Bex, take that up to Arthur for me. I'll be up in one sec.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Thanks, Bex.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Son, you know we...
0:22:50 > 0:22:52We didn't push her into this.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Yeah, I know. It's her decision, anyone can see that.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Stace, you're so good with her. I can't thank you enough.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's not hard, Sonia. She's a lovely kid.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Look, Son, Mr Pryce, one of Bex's teachers, rung.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12He wants a meeting.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Think he's got a bee in his bonnet about something.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19But, look, I was just thinking maybe you could ring him, you know,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21sort out a time that suits us best.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Yeah. I can do that, can't I? - Yeah.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Everything's going to be all right. You know that?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- I promise. - I know.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39And I haven't said congratulations to you yet, have I?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Congratulations. - Oh, thank you.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49FRONT DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Hey. - Hey.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I wasn't expecting you back till midnight.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Yeah, I know. But we got all the work done.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I think the others just wanted to rush off, hit the bars.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- You didn't want to go with them? - No, just wanted to come home.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08How was Louie when you put him down?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh, yeah, he was good as gold.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I think I'm going to go give him a kiss good night.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21When I get back down, can we just lie on the sofa and cuddle?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Yeah, 'course. Shall I stick a DVD in?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Oh, and I've ordered you a new phone charger.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Jane said you'd lost the old one.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32What would I do without you?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48That thing I said, about babies not being dolls.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It was a bit harsh. Didn't mean it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56There's only one person who decides what to do with your baby,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00and that's you. What's another mouth to feed, eh?
