00:00I know technically it's not a leap year, but, um, if I waited till the next one, it would be 2028, and, well, who knows where we'd be like then? I mean, I could be dead, or you!
00:25OK, Harvey, seriously, mate, you might want to say something, cos Gene's got a dodgy lead.
00:31Give him a chance, and he will. Gene, Gene, I don't know what to say.
00:34Well, it's a simple enough question. Oh, I've got this wrong, haven't I?
00:39No, I just didn't see it coming, that's all right. No, it's all over your face. You don't want to marry me.
00:42Gene! Gene!
00:44Right, let's order in my treat.
00:54No, no, you don't have to do that. No, please, I want to make up for earlier.
00:58Well, er, that's what I've forgotten about. Honest.
01:03Oh, paranoia. It comes with the territory of my lot. They've got this funny habit of just getting in your head.
01:10Oh, tell me about it. My dad is a heavyweight champion, and my mum has two identities, one of which slept with my brother.
01:19Yeah. Well, it's good to have someone to talk to. Someone who really gets it.
01:28Yeah, any time. Just not too early, yeah, cos I'm a terrible morning person.
01:32What are you doing?
01:41I should go and find her.
01:44Oh, half, half. Just leave it, mate. Leave it.
01:47How could you leave her hanging like that?
01:49Yeah, come on, I'll give some of the kids and all. I mean, are you going to make something up?
01:52I'm sorry, all right? She caught me on a hop.
01:54Oh, we're still camping.
01:55Oh, no. Er, OK. Right, change the plan.
01:58Oh, oh, hold on. Someone's talking.
02:01I've just heard Storm Colin is on his way, so you might have to go to bed.
02:05We'll make a den. We'll make a den.
02:08Oh, Uncle Freddie's making a den.
02:10There you go. Well done.
02:15I'm sorry, yeah, but just the way he was acting earlier, I thought you would have been up for it.
02:19Yeah, it's called being mates.
02:21But he was up for going out the other week. Like, what's changed?
02:23Yeah, things are different now. You're clearly very cut up about Shireen.
02:26Harry, it's OK to be upset about it, but, I mean, to start something like that, just be wrong.
02:30Plus, you're on the world's worst come down, so your head's all over the place.
02:33Don't patronise me.
02:35OK. I think it's time you're back to Billy's, please.
02:40Suit yourself.
02:42OK, bye.
02:44Oh, sorry, Marie. I wasn't thinking straight when I left.
02:53Jean?
02:56Jean, is... you all right?
02:59I asked Harvey to marry me.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Well, they're as happy as Larry.
03:05So it's amazing what Freddie can do with a broom, a blanket and a few fairy lights.
03:21Oh, lovely.
03:22Cheers, buddy.
03:23But let me tell you right now, I'm your best bet.
03:26Because Freddie has just texted Kat and trust me, she's a tough crowd.
03:31Harvey, come on, mate. I know it's a lot. You know, the women and the house.
03:35Solid outfit.
03:36What? You don't want to marry her?
03:39I don't know. I don't know. We've been through a lot.
03:42Yeah?
03:43And you've got her through a lot.
03:46Harvey, I've known Jean for years, right?
03:49And you're a rock. You really are.
03:51Unlike me and Kat, I'm more her blarney stone.
03:53You know what I'm saying?
03:56I don't know, Alf.
03:58Maybe she's just rushing into it.
04:00Nah, nah, nah, nah. I don't buy that.
04:03I mean, you've got cold feet, yeah?
04:05Well, sometimes I...
04:09Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough for her.
04:12What are you talking about?
04:13Because you're good enough for her.
04:15Look, I saw the way you were today.
04:17Unfortunately, we had to cancel camping.
04:18But you were brilliant with Stacey and Lily.
04:21I tell you, mate, over the years, I've seen so many men come in and out these doors.
04:25But you, my man, are one of us now.
04:28OK?
04:29You are an honorary henpecked Slater man.
04:32Cheers to that, yeah?
04:33There we go. Lovely.
04:34Oh.
04:40Hello, bud.
04:41Didn't expect you here.
04:43Yeah, Dad and Nugget have taken over the flat,
04:45watched us on the motocross thing.
04:48Yeah.
04:49Don't worry, though.
04:50I'm not going to interrupt your quality lesbian time.
04:53Hardly.
04:54It's good to see you.
04:55Oh, please, stay.
04:56We're watching loads of films on the all-star Jodie Foster.
05:01That's my cue to go.
05:02No, no, no.
05:03Look, wait.
05:04Now that you're here, why don't we have some food and hang out?
05:08Hang out?
05:10What is this?
05:11OK, I saw you talking to Joel's dad earlier.
05:13And I might be wrong, but something didn't seem right.
05:17What, outside McClunky's?
05:18You were spying on me?
05:20I was just walking past.
05:21Well, then it's none of your business.
05:22All right.
05:23What was it about, Avani?
05:24It was nothing.
05:26He just never tried the chicken tenders before.
05:28Oh.
05:29They're, like, seriously backwards.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Look, whatever Suki saw, she's only looking out for you, OK?
05:34Well, he just asked me how school was going.
05:36Is that a crime?
05:37Well, it didn't seem like a nobly chat to me.
05:39Seriously, can you guys, like, just get off my case?
05:41Yeah, why don't I ring Stacey?
05:49Oh, it's the last thing she needs.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Right.
05:54Besides, you're a woman of a certain age, you get it.
05:59It's all my fault, you know.
06:01Oh, Jean, don't.
06:02I was leaning on him, biting his head off.
06:05It's no wonder he didn't jump at my proposal.
06:07No, you're not to blame.
06:09I'm such an idiot.
06:15All I wanted was just a little bit of joy, you know,
06:18something good for once.
06:22Was that too much to ask?
06:26So, uh, what did he say, exactly?
06:29Nothing.
06:31Just stood there like a great big melon.
06:36I mean, I know it's not the norm for the woman to ask,
06:38but hello, it is the 21st century.
06:44But when he couldn't give me a straight answer, I just knew.
06:49Something's changed.
06:55He doesn't love me anymore.
06:57Well, I'll get you another tea.
06:58What's that?
07:10Quadratic equations.
07:11You fancy a go?
07:12I'm proud of you, Barn.
07:13You know, when I was your age, I spent most of my nights falling out of Hollywood.
07:16You really are the best of us.
07:17Why haven't you been answering your phone?
07:19Because I didn't want to.
07:20Don't you think we need to talk about Harry?
07:21After the way he kicked off earlier?
07:22Well, is there any wonder when you two blow so hot and cold?
07:23It's tricky, son.
07:24You do know I'm nearly 16.
07:25I can give consent for medical treatment soon.
07:26Join a trade union,
07:27Join a trade union,
07:28I'll get you a go.
07:29I'm proud of you, Barn.
07:30You know, when I was your age,
07:31I spent most of my nights falling out of Hollywood.
07:33You really are the best of us.
07:35Why haven't you been answering your phone?
07:39Because I didn't want to.
07:40Don't you think we need to talk about Harry?
07:43After the way he kicked off earlier?
07:45Well, is there any wonder when you two blow so hot and cold?
07:48It's tricky, son.
07:49You do know I'm nearly 16.
07:51I can give consent for medical treatment soon.
07:54Join a trade union.
07:56Invest in a cash icer if I want.
07:59You can't keep pushing me out.
08:01I deserve to know the truth.
08:05All right.
08:06The truth is,
08:07your brother was taking liberties with the bar's online accounts.
08:10I had him bang to rights, he turned.
08:13Your dad wasn't having any of it, but someone had to set him straight.
08:17Stealing?
08:18He can barely open a laptop.
08:21Yeah, I know.
08:22I couldn't believe it either.
08:25You can't protect me forever.
08:27Finish this upstairs.
08:28Barney, please.
08:30Barney.
08:32Oh.
08:35It's all.
08:36Thanks to you neither of me boys are talking to me.
08:39If we try to explain about the Shireen thing,
08:41it will all unravel.
08:42And what about his exams, eh?
08:44It'll ruin him.
08:45I mean, how do you live with yourself, eh?
08:47Liar after liar.
08:49I know you're upset.
08:51But as long as Harry stays off the drugs,
08:53he will come round.
08:54And when he does,
08:55we will be here for him.
08:57Not inside, on a long stretch.
09:00Trust me.
09:01I will not let this family go down.
09:11What do you want?
09:12You didn't reply to my text.
09:14Cut off's tonight.
09:16I bet the kids are going to be thrilled to discover you've added blackmail to your list of credentials.
09:20That is why I'm doing it.
09:22I want to be around for Louie and little Jim.
09:25Well, last I heard, Peter wants absolutely nothing to do with it.
09:28You know my terms, Ian.
09:29And I think that's a fair price to save your mum from going to prison, don't you?
09:33I mean, prison's not great for pensioners, is it?
09:35Ask Jackie Ford.
09:37I'd be amazed if the police believe you were your track record.
09:40I'll take my chances.
09:41Case is still open, isn't it?
09:43You know what my old gran used to say about bullies?
09:45Oh, here you go.
09:47You can only throw so many stones at someone before you pick them up and build a wall.
09:53Well, as lovely as that trip was down Lou Bill Lane, I want what's mine.
09:59Or else.
10:00What are you doing?
10:01I don't blame you.
10:02It's worth in our place.
10:03Janet and honey have just put the face mask on.
10:04Please trace when you're ready, yeah?
10:05Yeah.
10:06So.
10:07What did you get up to your last night?
10:08Some things out to your mum and dad?
10:09Some things out to your mum and dad?
10:30Crashed at Gina's.
10:31Why?
10:32Are you two okay, yeah?
10:37We were.
10:38Until I came on a bit strong.
10:40Yeah.
10:41Well done that.
10:43She's been a proper mate since I found out about Shireen and I thought she was given vibes.
10:47Turns out it was bad timing.
10:50So she says.
10:52Well, maybe she's got a point.
10:55Not you and old Bill.
10:57No, no, no.
10:58I'm just saying there's no need to rug things, is there?
11:00I mean, you just say sorry and make it up.
11:03Too late, Ruben.
11:04Harry, where are you going?
11:05Harry!
11:10There we go.
11:12Put a little rub of brandy in there.
11:15I keep it under the till for emergencies.
11:17I know.
11:18I don't exactly shower him with affection.
11:21And the closest we get to a date night is a takeaway and a game of gin rummy.
11:26He probably thinks I take him for granted.
11:32And then when, when Martin died, just when we needed each other the most, what do I do?
11:39Push him away.
11:41When actually, the truth is, he was the one that was holding us together.
11:45I mean, he was the one who took the kids to school when Stacy wouldn't come out of her bedroom and he paid the red bills before anyone even saw them.
11:52I don't know how we're going to cope.
11:59We all come with baggage, I suppose.
12:02Only so much a man can take.
12:04I should have learnt my lesson the last time he turned me down.
12:09There I was running around Southend in a great big nylon donut of a wedding dress.
12:14Why on earth I thought he'd want to marry me in that, I don't know.
12:17I know I was in the middle of an episode, but I still remember his face at the hospital.
12:24The look in his eyes.
12:28And it wasn't love.
12:32It was fear.
12:34Jean, don't.
12:36This has got nothing to do with your bipolar.
12:39I bet he wishes he'd found someone stable and calm.
12:47Look, the only person you're going to get answers from is Harvey.
12:53So why don't you go home, sit him down and make him look you in the eye.
13:00Oh, right.
13:01In case you're wondering what the bad smell was, Cindy's in the bit.
13:05Congratulations on Jebby coming home.
13:07You must be so proud.
13:08Oh, thank you.
13:09Yeah, we are, we are.
13:10It's a new horizons and all that.
13:11In fact, I'm thinking about having a little celebration to wet the baby's head in the
13:15Vic Lake this week.
13:16Everyone's welcome.
13:18No, Jean's got a lot on the home.
13:20Yeah, but it's not often a new bill comes home, is it?
13:23Listen to me, witching on about myself when you've got a newborn baby in the family
13:26and parties to organise, but, erm, thank you for the tea and your time.
13:34You're a wise woman, Cathy.
13:36What a pity.
13:46Your dinner's getting cold.
13:52Why don't you just text her?
13:54What's the point?
13:56I'll only ignore it.
13:58We know she's been out of sorts for the last few weeks, but now she's keeping secrets
14:03and talking to middle-aged men.
14:06And I know Avani likes to think she's streetwise, but she is still so young, Eve.
14:10Look, we don't know anything for sure, okay?
14:13Have a bite to eat, and then go and talk to Ross.
14:17Yeah?
14:18Yeah, good.
14:27I've, er...
14:29I've noticed this, please.
14:31No Nigel?
14:32Oh, I left him at home.
14:34You landed.
14:35Watching Alien.
14:36Oh.
14:38Erm...
14:40I, er...
14:41I managed to catch up with Sharon.
14:44You're in full load, haven't you?
14:46She swore that what happened with Grant meant nothing.
14:49It's you that she's worried about.
14:51Well, she don't need to be.
14:52Er, it's, it's good that Nigel's signing back his share of the business, though, innit?
14:58I, I just mean, you know, the boxing gym man itself when you and Sharon were partners.
15:03Does she put you up to this?
15:05Okay, don't take a therapist to see that you two are lost without each other.
15:09Why don't you give her a ring yourself?
15:11Right, it's not too late to sort things out.
15:14Nice try.
15:16Oh, Billy.
15:21Have you seen Harry?
15:23I was in here before.
15:24Said you and him had a bit of a runny.
15:27But what's the matter? What's going wrong with him?
15:29He, he, he's moody, he's falling out with everyone.
15:32He ain't stayed at the house for days.
15:36No, tell me he's not.
15:38I mean, I can't do right for a run by him.
15:41And I'm just, I'm really worried he's gonna go off on one again, I mean...
15:43All right, look, why don't you let me help your friend?
15:45No, Frank's Billy Butter. This is on me.
15:48He knows he messed up, all right?
15:50Don't give up on him.
15:52No, I won't.
15:54Promise.
16:02Shouldn't you be getting home now, mate?
16:04I mean, your mum would be cursing me, wouldn't she?
16:06She's too.
16:10I'll get it.
16:11Oh, cheers, babe.
16:17Your boyfriend.
16:18I'd like a word.
16:20It's a bit late for a social visit, innit?
16:21What's it about?
16:22He'll know.
16:24Oh.
16:27Suki, yeah?
16:29What did I do you for?
16:30I saw you and Ivani having a cosy little chat earlier.
16:32She was just telling me about another chicken shop up at High Street, that's all.
16:38Funny.
16:39Because she tells me you were talking about school.
16:41Somebody who has a plan.
16:43More venom and sugar.
16:45Um.
16:46Not here, are you?
16:47No, I've got nothing to hide.
16:49So I'll ask again.
16:50What business does a middle-aged man have with a 15-year-old girl?
16:53Oh, you are barking up the wrong tree, lad.
16:55Excuse me, but I prefer speaking to the organ grinder.
16:58You know what?
17:00You want to try getting some proof before you come round here mouthing off?
17:05Babe, are you going to tell her or am I?
17:07Is someone going to tell me what's going on?
17:11It's got nothing to do with Ross.
17:14It's Joel.
17:16He and Ivani slept together.
17:29You all right, Jane?
17:31Where you been?
17:33Um.
17:34Oh, well, I went for a walk.
17:36It's actually quite mired out.
17:41Where's Stacey?
17:43I thought it best to leave her, Pete.
17:49What's going to happen, then?
17:51Well, this gutless wonder still hasn't given her an answer.
17:54Okay, okay, time out.
17:56Um, right, why don't we give them some space, yeah?
17:58Come, let's go.
18:00Yeah, bud.
18:04Stand up when I'm talking to you.
18:17You think we're a big man, yeah?
18:19She's 15.
18:21You do know that's illegal in this country.
18:23Oi!
18:24Ivani weren't the only one who's underage.
18:25Okay, let's just calm it down, shall we, all right?
18:28We only found out last week.
18:30Right, and what do you do about it, eh?
18:32Give him a pat on the back, put a little extra in his piggy bank?
18:34Leave off. What do you take us for?
18:36We're trying to figure out what's best for both of them.
18:38And you didn't think to tell us?
18:39Yeah, of course we did.
18:40But when I saw how upset Ivani was, I promised I wouldn't say anything.
18:43Your son encouraged her to have underage sex with him.
18:44No, no, no, it wasn't like that.
18:47Okay, maybe we went a bit too far.
18:49I'm sorry for that, but we both felt the same way, okay?
18:52That's the truth.
18:53No-one pressured anyone.
18:56And they were safe.
18:57That's all we can ask for.
18:59This ain't over.
19:01And you, you stay away from Ivani, or you'll have me to deal with.
19:05Egg on toast, are you?
19:15I don't think I fancy anything else this evening.
19:18I'm not hungry, Jean.
19:20Well, it's just that I thought that we could, you know, eat and talk face to face.
19:25Just leave Dad and sit down.
19:27Please.
19:35I'm sorry.
19:37Do you know I'm not one for big gestures?
19:41Why don't you warn me?
19:43Well, then it wouldn't have been a surprise, would it?
19:45You know.
19:46Not that it makes any odds now.
19:51I can't marry you, Jean.
19:52Of course you can't.
19:53It's a ludicrous idea.
19:55I should have taken the hint the first time you turned me down.
19:58At least you entertained the idea, then.
20:01I care about you.
20:03But...
20:05I just don't think we're in that place.
20:09I understand.
20:11I'm not very lovable, am I?
20:14And God knows Brian tried.
20:16And Ollie.
20:18Just...
20:20When I met you, I felt like I'd been given one last chance.
20:24You know?
20:26Someone to grow old with.
20:28Now, don't get me wrong, we're no Romeo and Juliet.
20:31I mean, you snore.
20:33You can never make a decision.
20:36You look terrible in pyjamas.
20:38Great character reference.
20:40About our age, you look past those things, don't you?
20:43Make allowances.
20:48If only I hadn't have asked you!
20:51None of this would have happened and we could have carried on as we were.
20:53It's not your fault, Jean.
20:56Yeah.
20:58Who needs companionship anyway?
20:59I've got Stacey and the kids.
21:01Maybe it felt like you were rushing into it.
21:05To make up for losing Martin.
21:07Martin.
21:08Lovely, lovely, lovely Martin.
21:12He adored the kids.
21:15He'd do anything for Stacey.
21:17No matter how many times she played him like a cat with a string.
21:21He was always there for her and now he's not.
21:23And Stacey's in meltdown and Lily's acting up and I'm working all the hours and this family's hanging by a thread, Harvey, and I can't, I can't, I can't seem to hold us all together. I just, I can't.
21:36You don't have to.
21:39What?
21:41I'll be here.
21:46We can make it work.
21:49What, we can be happy again?
21:51Yeah.
21:53We'll just put getting married on the back burner.
21:55Sure.
21:57Yeah.
22:06Nowhere or, should I say, no one to go to?
22:14Not especially, no.
22:16If you're looking for sympathy, you've come to the wrong place.
22:20The boy is a liability, Phil.
22:23There's no gene that can talk some sense in there.
22:26Can I, er, have a minute?
22:28That's a favour of, er,
22:30get another round in there.
22:31Yeah, yeah.
22:37Look, I'm, I'm sorry.
22:40Right, I pushed my luck.
22:42Should know better than to try and build bridges between you two.
22:45Yeah, well I wasn't exactly mindful of myself.
22:48Apology accepted.
22:51Having Sharon in your corner when you're going through recovery or, or whatever, it's, it's worth its weight in gold.
22:58We both know that.
22:59You don't laugh at all the same.
23:01Oh, come on, Phil.
23:02Look, nobody's perfect.
23:03Lulu's mum, ring any bells?
23:06There's a lot to be said for putting things behind you.
23:08Easier said than done.
23:15Don't forget.
23:17I know how you feel about Sharon.
23:22Don't let your macho pride get in the way.
23:25Right? You're better than that.
23:27Or do you want to end up like her and Ian?
23:29Sworn enemies.
23:30You know, constant side shows.
23:32Think of Albie.
23:35You sat alone by a month.
23:38Nine years ago this week, she went.
23:40Wow.
23:42It don't get any easier, does it?
23:43I don't know how old you get.
23:46And for what it's worth, I reckon Albie's missing you too, Phil.
23:50So ring Sharon.
23:52For his sake.
23:53Look, I'll make a deal with you.
23:54Get me out of here and I'll have him on my next bill.
23:55And a crack at the chap if he wins.
23:56Yes, yes, yes.
23:57All right.
23:58Now you're talking, Sammy.
23:59Just leave it at me.
24:00Have you upset her again?
24:01Me and Jean have had a chat and we're going to be just fine.
24:03No wedding for now.
24:04Just a very, very long engagement.
24:06See?
24:07See what happens when you pump your edges together lovely?
24:08You're happy for us, Kat.
24:09Yeah, of course I am, Jean.
24:10Come here.
24:11You can save up for proper nice bridesmaid dresses now, Nat.
24:12Hey, Art, we'll stick it on the square group chat.
24:13Come on.
24:14Come on.
24:15Come on.
24:16Come on.
24:17Come on.
24:18Come on.
24:19Come on.
24:20Come on.
24:21Come on.
24:22Come on.
24:23Come on.
24:24Come on.
24:25Come on.
24:26Come on.
24:27Come on.
24:28Come on.
24:29Come on.
24:30Come on.
24:31Come on.
24:32Come on.
24:33Come on.
24:34Come on.
24:35We'll stick it on the square group chat.
24:36Come on.
24:37Say cheese.
24:38Oh, no.
24:39Cheese.
24:40Come on.
24:41Just dog your horses, mate, yeah?
24:42Erm.
24:43Oh, we'll just, er, enjoy the moment.
24:44Yeah.
24:45No need to tell all in sundry.
24:46We could just have a little drink.
24:47Who would do?
24:48Why don't I go and get us a bottle of some?
24:49Nice.
24:50Don't be long.
24:51Love you.
25:04I don't think this place was your sink.
25:07Yeah.
25:08Well, at least I can't be accused of wandering hands in a gay bar.
25:13This morning, I overreacted.
25:15No, don't blame you.
25:16It was a bit of an open goal.
25:18Well, I know what it's like to get wrecked and throw yourself at people.
25:21But at the end of the day, the only person you're hurting is yourself.
25:24We just made things worse all round.
25:27Hey.
25:28Ain't too late to sort it out.
25:30Do you know what's that like?
25:32Yeah.
25:33Mixed signals.
25:34Can we start again?
25:36Or under the bridge.
25:39Mason?
25:40Yeah, mate.
25:41Might as well.
25:42Come.
25:43See ya.
25:54She's like, I'm sorry I missed your course.
25:56I've had murders tonight.
25:57Who is it, Mum?
25:59It's only Harvey.
26:01Jean left her phone in the caf.
26:09She's asked me to marry her.
26:11Yeah.
26:12I know.
26:13She was in the caf, crying on my shoulder.
26:15I wanted to tell her the truth, but I couldn't.
26:18Could I?
26:19How did she take it?
26:22I couldn't do it.
26:24What's going on?
26:28Yeah.
26:29My head was all over the shop.
26:31She was in bits, and before I knew it, I said I'd stay, and then...
26:35And you said yes?
26:37No.
26:38No.
26:39No.
26:40No.
26:41Sort of.
26:52Everything I said earlier was the truth, Cath.
26:54You are the most beautiful woman I've ever met.
26:58The inside and out, and at the end of the day, it's you I should be with, but...
27:02No.
27:03When it came down to it, you couldn't tell her.
27:06I just...
27:07I couldn't bring myself to break her heart.
27:09Not tonight, not after.
27:11I don't want to lose you.
27:14But what choice have we got?
27:16You're going to be sneaking around for mums, isn't it?
27:18It's got to stop.
27:19Young people are going to get hurt.
27:21This is such a mess.
27:24It's you I love, Cath.
27:27Yeah.
27:28And I love you too, but...
27:30Even I can see that genius on the knife edge.
27:34And...
27:35That family needs you right now.
27:37You've been so good to me.
27:40I don't want things to end like this.
27:43Harvey.
27:44We both knew what we were getting into.
27:47And I honestly don't know what I would have done without you these last few months.
27:50Holding me up after losing Martin, and...
27:53And what about Christmas?
27:55God knows where I'd be without that alibi.
27:57I'm so sorry.
27:59I'm so sorry.
