00:00I don't know how you've managed two weeks of this.
00:22I've done one night and I feel like the walking dead.
00:28It's a hungry little thing, isn't it?
00:30It must be that addictive personality that you've got from me.
00:35What's that supposed to mean?
00:38Yeah, you've been off of me since last night.
00:41What am I supposed to have done wrong?
00:44Maybe you don't have private conversations next to baby monitors.
00:52Can you get ready, please, guys, and brush your teeth?
00:55I'm going.
00:56They should be back right now.
00:57They've been gone all night, right?
00:58Right, they're back!
00:59Hey!
01:00Oh, twelve hours in A&E.
01:01Seven cups of coffee and she had no stitches.
01:02Right, so she's okay, yeah?
01:03The doctor said it always looks worse than what it is.
01:04Oh, good.
01:05Lilz, go and get ready for school, yeah?
01:06Well, I can't.
01:07She needs me.
01:08You've already bunked off one day this week.
01:09Look, we'll take care of her.
01:10Just go and get her sorted for nursery, yeah?
01:11Little darling.
01:12Come here.
01:13Come here.
01:14Come here.
01:15Come here.
01:16Here you go.
01:17Cheers.
01:18Lily was so scared.
01:19Corky.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Any sign of Stace?
01:22No.
01:23We tried knocking a few times, but she wouldn't come out.
01:25Well, Freddie can look after the van this morning because we need a family meeting.
01:29I'm not apologizing, no.
01:30I've supported you every step of the way, for your blackmailing, for your drugs.
01:36any sign of Stace no we tried knocking a few times but she wouldn't come out well
01:41Freddie can look after the van this morning because we need a family meeting
01:50I'm not apologising no I've supported you every step of the way for your
01:55blackmailing for you your drugs no see I thought you've been supporting me but
02:00actually there's been this voice inside your head this whole time saying once
02:05once a junkie always a junkie well that's not fair is it what was it that you
02:09said to Linda if she relapses you honestly don't think that I've got it in
02:14me to stay clean do you I hope you can but it's hard you've relapsed before yeah
02:20relapse can be part of recovery I'm not arguing with you okay I love you Lauren
02:24everything about you always have but you've got to own this you've got to
02:29accept that this might impact our boys
02:31well let me go get Louie sorted because the health visit is coming at 9 15 and I want to get back from
02:48school running time yeah yeah I haven't forgotten because I actually want to talk
02:51to her about Jimmy because if you won't listen to me maybe she will listen about
02:56what you still think there's something wrong with him don't you
03:01nothing quite like a mother's instinct hey listen be there don't be there it's up to
03:08you let's go please tell me you have slept on it and realize that kidnapping of 15-year-olds
03:23about the worst idea you've ever happened I told you he wants out of that place because he thinks he
03:29don't fit in him and every other teenager on the planet this is different in it from what you and
03:34Sharon have said Nicola is dangerous if you do this her and Teddy could unleash hell Barney might
03:41want to change his life as far as he knows you're just some random bloke who lives across the square
03:46I'm not telling the truth will I don't you have rather known who your old man was from the start
03:50I think sometimes the truth can mess with you as much as the lies you can't blow his world apart
03:59and expect him to trust her I'll smooth it over one oh right yeah because you thought you're all
04:05through and you've got a plan not yet no I can tell
04:07I can tell
04:08shouldn't uh shouldn't Lily and Freddy be here well Lily's at school and Freddy's still in short
04:24trousers it's grown-ups only cheers yeah no I'll get it but it just feels a bit odd you know having
04:30outsiders here and not them listen no offence I am a bit offended actually I've been married into this
04:35family for three years. I'm not Henry Slater. Eve, sorry, my bad. Didn't mean anything by
04:39it. At the end of the day, the kids need all the help they can get, yeah? Exactly. So,
04:44with Jean not around, we all need to look after this place until Stacey gets back on
04:48her feet. Yeah, and we can all look after a few kids in our sleep. We'll just drop a
04:51rota. Yeah, but for how long? This has been going on for weeks. What if this has nothing
04:55to do with Martin anymore? What if there's something more serious going on? You think
04:59she needs professional help? I don't know. It took Charlie getting hurt before Lily reached
05:03out. And listen, we can't go stomping him with our size tens. We'll probably end up
05:07losing her trust for good. This isn't about what Lily wants. It's about what her and the
05:10other kids need. Stacey is where. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cat, I get it, but Lily's already seen
05:15Jean being dragged out by men in white coats. Imagine what to do if she sees it happening
05:19to Stacey, yeah? Jean wasn't dragged anywhere, all right? Last time, Jean volunteered to
05:23go to hospital. Which Stacey won't do, because she won't leave the kids. She might not have
05:27a choice. Well, people don't get sectioned for staying in their bedroom. And especially not
05:32with their grieving. Well, if Cat's right. I mean, Stacey is in pain. It's just we don't
05:39know if she's in crisis. We don't know anything for sure yet, do we? We need to get her to
05:43talk to us, so we can find out how really bad this is. How? She won't even open her bedroom
05:48door. She's got no food or water up there, all right? She's bound to come down eventually.
05:52We can get this sorted without getting the hospital involved. I don't know. But I know
05:56that she'd want us to try. In an ideal world, he'd be back at his birth weight by now, and
06:07we're not quite there. Your notes say you've had a few issues with breastfeeding.
06:13Yeah, well, we're still trying, and I'm expressing.
06:16Great. Well done. I know the first couple of weights can be intense, but you guys seem
06:21to have a handle on things. Yeah, well, we don't, actually. I mean, I'm not like one
06:28of them mums that don't even know how to put the nappy on and that, because I have had
06:31her baby before, and I was a teen when my little brother was born. But this, the way
06:38that Jimmy is, it's not how babies are supposed to be.
06:41Lauren's got this feeling, or this instinct that something's wrong with him.
06:46Wrong in what way? Can you give me some examples?
06:51Shh. Yeah, well, it's just, it's everything. I mean, he's not latching on properly, and
06:59he doesn't sleep. And I know you're going to say that this is what all babies are like,
07:04but that is what I was going to say. But I told you, I know babies.
07:08You've never met Jimmy before, though. It can take a while to get to know baby, even for
07:13mums. But that's what I'm trying to say. I do know him.
07:15I know everything there is to know about him, because he's my son, and then something
07:19just isn't right. Sorry, am I speaking a different language or something here? Can you hear me?
07:26Lauren, I've already checked Jimmy over, and he's absolutely fine.
07:32How are you feeling, generally? Are you still in any pain from the birth?
07:39Mood OK?
07:40Mood OK?
07:42No.
07:53Thanks.
07:58I'm very sorry about that. She's not herself. She's exhausted.
08:01I'll call back next week to check in, but keep an eye on her. Things like post-natal depression
08:06can creep up.
08:07Do you think she might be depressed?
08:09I'm just saying be alert. Call me if you need anything.
08:24Is it too much to ask for a little bit of support?
08:26Oh, and I really think you need to...
08:30If you tell me to get some sleep one more time, I will not be responsible for what I do.
08:37I'll call back next week.
08:52Stace.
08:55I know you don't want to talk, but I'm really worried about you.
08:58Me, the kids.
09:01I know what it's like to lose someone.
09:03You sort of dig a hole and just jump in.
09:05Can't you just talk to me for one second?
09:08Stace?
09:14I thought it'd be easier, just you and me, but if you won't listen, this is the only way.
09:22Thanks.
09:25Oh, sorry, lad.
09:28Coffee's on me today.
09:29Oh, no, it's all right.
09:30I've got Bill this tea on the way, and I'll cast a special fry up.
09:36Okay.
09:37So why you still look so miserable?
09:40Let me guess.
09:44There.
09:46I didn't ring her.
09:47I didn't think it would be fair.
09:48We haven't spoken in ages.
09:50Probably won't ever speak to her again now.
09:52There we go.
09:54Thank you, Katie.
09:57Any luck with the job hunting?
09:59Oh, old-fashioned cabbies like me were a dying breaker.
10:04And this cat finally texted me back.
10:05She's going to step in with Lily and the kids, which is a relief, because I hardly slept
10:09on a wink last night worrying about what with Stacey being so upset and Jean being gone.
10:15Cubby, you.
10:16Oh, what was that for?
10:18I thought we were just going to keep a low profile.
10:19Oh, I couldn't help myself.
10:21You, Harvey Monroe, are a lovely man.
10:24I still haven't made peace with myself about how we got here, but I'm so glad we did,
10:28because you and me, Harvey, we deserve to be happy.
10:30Yes, we do.
10:31You do.
10:32Oh.
10:34Oh, Peter.
10:35Oh.
10:36Oh, Peter.
10:37No, don't.
10:39All right.
10:41Cheers.
10:41Oh, your dad told me he saw you last night.
10:44And what he said about being there for you, that goes double for me too, okay?
10:49I mean, if you and Lauren want to break at all, even for a cup of coffee together.
10:52I don't think I'll be on the cards at the minute, Grant.
10:55All right, what's happened?
10:58Oh, Peter.
11:01Come on, I've got a break due anyway.
11:03Come on.
11:03Come and sit down.
11:04Come on.
11:05Cover for me, will you?
11:07Come on.
11:07We're all here because we love you, and we know you, and we can see you're not well.
11:15Charlie got hurt yesterday.
11:17She must have been screaming.
11:18Did you hear her?
11:19Yeah, it hurt from me.
11:20But you didn't do anything.
11:21All kids cry.
11:23There's always screaming in this house.
11:28That it?
11:28Stacey.
11:31Stacey, please, please.
11:34Mate.
11:35Sit down.
11:36We can't leave you like this.
11:37Please sit down.
11:42Lily panicked, right?
11:44She picked up Charlie, and then she came down here and found Lee and Freddie.
11:48You was upstairs, and she needed help.
11:51But she came and found someone else.
11:53She's fine, by the way.
11:55Charlie.
11:56I was about to ask.
11:57No, you weren't.
11:58And if that doesn't say that you're not yourself, I don't know what does.
12:02The person that I love most in the world has just died.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Am I not going to push you into doing anything that you're not ready for?
12:09I'll look after the kids.
12:12I'll sweep the floors.
12:13I'll do the dishes.
12:14Every day for the next year, if I have to.
12:17I'll even help Eve run your smelly van, eh?
12:21I just need to know that you're not going to get worse and worse.
12:24Please, Stacey.
12:25We're desperate, all of us.
12:27I mean, it's all very well being this way when Jean was here to hold the fort.
12:32But she's gone.
12:33Yeah, I know.
12:33I told her to go.
12:35She missed out on a holiday.
12:36She had her heart broken.
12:38And now she's alone, just like I'm like.
12:40Look, you're not sleeping.
12:42You're not washing.
12:43I can smell you from here.
12:45The house is a dump.
12:46And the kids don't know whether they're coming or going.
12:49I don't care, Kat.
12:51I don't care.
12:52Don't you understand?
12:54I don't care about you, me, them.
12:57None of it.
12:58All I want is just peace and quiet to think.
13:01Are you taking your meds?
13:05Well, are you?
13:05That's none of you bitches.
13:09Martin weren't the only love of your life, you know.
13:12You've got your kids too.
13:15Lily's been acting out for weeks.
13:17She's smoking weed.
13:18Did you know that?
13:20She's even been nicking money out of my petty cash to cover it.
13:23You being like this is hurting them.
13:26You are hurting your kids.
13:31Well, should one of us go after her?
13:33Well.
13:35We've said all we need to say.
13:38Listen, Mum, now's not a good time.
13:42No, no, nothing's wrong.
13:43It's just...
13:44It's baby stuff.
13:47No, he's fine.
13:53Hold on.
13:54Mom, I'll call you back.
14:24Look, I know what me and Harvey did was wrong,
14:30and I don't blame you for feeling let down.
14:32No, I still shouldn't have spoke to you like that, though.
14:34I'm sorry.
14:36And I'm sorry for what Mum did.
14:37Do you know, Ben is on the other side of the world,
14:39but I used to feel so close to him at the Albert.
14:42Cindy don't care, does she?
14:43Just about money and revenge to her.
14:46You think you can get it back?
14:47I have been through that contract with a fine tooth cone, Peter.
14:50It's watertight.
14:52The best thing I can do is just accept it now.
14:54But at least I've got your Dad and Harvey.
14:58Who's your Mum got home?
15:00So, did you want to tell me what's been going on?
15:04I'm not saying I'll have all the answers,
15:05but I have been through one or two things over the years.
15:08You know, marriages, kids.
15:10There's not a lot I haven't seen.
15:11I don't keep saying there's something wrong with Jimmy,
15:16that she has this feeling.
15:18But the health visitor's checked him out.
15:20And he's fine.
15:21Well, hormones could be funny things the first few weeks.
15:24You know, she's been feeling down, do you think?
15:27Well, the health visitor mentioned post-natal depression.
15:32God, you know, I want to see it, God, I just don't know any more.
15:36Yeah, well, baby blues, they used to call it.
15:38And after I had been, you know, I didn't know which way was up.
15:41But the last person I wanted to talk to about it was Phil.
15:44All I did was push him away.
15:47But, look, you and Lauren are different.
15:49You're the best of friends.
15:51Find a way to remind her of that,
15:53and I'm sure everything would be OK.
15:55Just give me a little help, please.
15:57Oh, Peter, did you get the baby clothes I left yesterday for little Jimmy?
16:00Can we do this another time, please?
16:02I'm really not in a mood.
16:03Has something happened?
16:05Is the baby OK?
16:06Yeah, he's fine.
16:07He's...
16:08Look, Lauren's just struggling a little bit, that's all.
16:11We're struggling? How?
16:12Might be, Lauren, she's probably...
16:13Are you still punishing me?
16:15I mean, this Scarlet Woman gets forgiven,
16:16and your own mother's left out in the cold.
16:18All right.
16:19I'm going to head home.
16:24Looks like it'll take more than a couple of baby grows
16:26to make up for what you've done.
16:28I'm on my way to the Albert.
16:30Planning on giving it a bit of a revamp, you know,
16:32new lease of life.
16:34Oh, good luck with that.
16:35The roof leaks, the staff are a pain,
16:36and the labs get blocked up every ten seconds.
16:38But apart from that, it's yours.
16:40Because you know what?
16:41Honestly, I'm glad to be shot of it.
16:44See ya.
16:49Here you go, Zach.
16:50Oh, you made it!
16:52Oh, you all right?
16:53I'm just going to nick to the gents, all right?
16:54Two sets.
16:55Yeah.
16:57Have you seen this?
16:59Benji's been charged with Shireen's murder.
17:02Which means we can start to put this whole thing behind us.
17:05If mum hadn't hired that psycho,
17:08Shireen would still be here.
17:10Look, I know you're angry.
17:13I get it.
17:18You didn't mention that he was coming?
17:20Are you ever going to drop this?
17:23Tell me, why don't I just leave you two to it?
17:25Jane, are you on Lexi free this weekend?
17:28A surprise for Nigel Smurf, Dean.
17:31Yeah, he never mentioned anything, no?
17:32No, that would be the surprise part.
17:34Can you check Billy and Honey and the others, please,
17:37and let me know some numbers?
17:39Yeah, of course.
17:44What's the matter, mate?
17:46Free to crowd.
17:48No.
17:48Just trying to stay out of family dramas.
17:51I know you've seen it from Shireen's side,
17:52but you know what my lot are like.
17:54Yeah, my offence, mate,
17:55but I try and steer clear of your lot.
17:56Yeah, so do I.
17:57Only trouble is I can't.
17:58Still, I don't blame Harry for moving out.
18:01He's mum and dad's girlfriend's point.
18:02Moved out?
18:03Had that happened?
18:04A couple of weeks ago, apparently.
18:05Been living with Billy and Honey.
18:07Anyway, none of my business.
18:08I'll just forget to send me in.
18:09Yeah, of course, mate.
18:10Oh, and I'm sorry about before.
18:27I don't...
18:28I don't want us to keep fighting.
18:29I think I found something.
18:31Oh, yeah?
18:32What?
18:33In Jimmy's eyes.
18:34Just looks a little bit weird.
18:36Right.
18:39Right, Lauren, I think...
18:42I think you've got to press pause on all of this
18:44until you start feeling a bit better.
18:45Feeling better?
18:46What are you talking about?
18:47I'm fine.
18:49I'm not so sure you are, Lauren.
18:50I'm starting to get a bit worried about you.
18:52Your body's been through so much
18:54with the hormones and no sleep,
18:56and it can lead to...
18:57No, I'm not depressed.
18:59Who have you been talking to?
19:01No-one.
19:04Well, my gran, for a bit,
19:06she said she felt low after having Ben
19:07and that she had no-one to talk to,
19:09but I said that that ain't the case for you.
19:11You've got me.
19:12We have to...
19:12We have to have each other's back.
19:14I have just told you
19:16that I think that I'll suddenly see a doctor
19:18and all you can do is accuse me of losing it.
19:20No, I'm not accusing...
19:21You're not losing it.
19:22No, I know I'm not.
19:25Right, do you know what?
19:26Forget it.
19:28I'll deal with it on my own.
19:30I'll deal with it on my own.
19:40Ian!
19:42This isn't about us.
19:44It's about Peter and our grandchildren.
19:47However much you hate me,
19:48we're always going to have them in common.
19:49Peter doesn't want anything to do with you,
19:51and neither do I.
19:54Peter is a mess, Ian.
19:56I saw him earlier practically crying on Cavi's shoulder.
19:58Now, I don't know all the details,
20:01but I know the reason.
20:02One word.
20:04Lauren.
20:12Go on.
20:14She's never been good enough for him.
20:16And now it looks like she's gone off the rails,
20:17it's not just going to be Peter who's going to suffer.
20:20He'll be our gorgeous grandchildren.
20:21Lauren Brannan is a sinking ship.
20:26Peter will stick it out for longer than he should,
20:27but sooner or later,
20:28that family is heading for disaster.
20:31And when that happens,
20:32Lauren is going to be desperate.
20:34I know her.
20:35She will do everything she can
20:36to turn Peter against us.
20:39We need to stick together.
20:42So when things go belly up over there,
20:44it will be Lauren that's left out in the cold.
20:47Not us.
20:47Right, I'd better go and take over from Freddie.
20:53So, um,
20:54will you just keep us posted on how she is?
20:56Set her off to here, would you?
20:57Yeah.
20:58We can do another shift with the kids any time.
21:00All right?
21:00Yeah.
21:01Yeah, just do it with me.
21:06So where do I go from here?
21:08I know.
21:08At least we'd rather to talk to us.
21:10I'm still none the wiser, am I?
21:12End of the day, Kate,
21:13you can't fix someone
21:13if they don't want to be fixed.
21:21I've got a few things to do
21:22on the way to collect Louis.
21:25Jimmy.
21:27Thank you for calling
21:28Panisar House Surgery.
21:30For same-day appointments,
21:31please call between the hours 8
21:33and 8.30am.
21:35Forget it.
21:35Oh, Nigel!
21:44Nigel!
21:45Oh, la, la!
21:48I've been thinking about you.
21:52Just because you don't want to reach out to Claire
21:54doesn't mean that there aren't people
21:55who care about you around here, you know?
21:57That's nice, but...
21:58So I have invited a few of those people
22:00around to my place at the weekend
22:01so we can all have a move together
22:03and celebrate your birthday.
22:04I didn't ask you to do that, Yolanda.
22:08Why don't you mind your own business
22:09for a change?
22:18Vicky, let me get you a drink, please.
22:21Trace,
22:22listen, I didn't like the way
22:24that we left things this morning.
22:25I know you're worried about me.
22:27Can I have a gin and tonic, please?
22:28You know, if something happens to you
22:32and I knew about this,
22:34Sharon will find a way to blame me.
22:35Yes, and I heard y'all.
22:38You're right.
22:39You're all right.
22:40I can't just go ahead and tell Barney the whole thing.
22:44Why would he listen to me?
22:46Something that big's got to come from somebody he loves,
22:48somebody he trusts.
22:51Do you know that?
22:51He's moved a billion, hasn't he?
22:53Yeah, I did hear something.
22:55I don't know what you think that's got to do with anything.
22:57Well, he moved out of his parents
22:58the same time that Bodhi was found.
22:59That sounds like a coincidence.
23:02Or he's realised what type of people his parents are
23:04and he wants nothing more to do with them.
23:06There you go.
23:08Someone like that,
23:09he might want to give his little brother a chance at a better life.
23:11That is a bit of a leap.
23:13I could be pretty charming.
23:14I'll butter him up.
23:16He'll help me get Barney back on site.
23:18He might do.
23:20Or he might go running to Teddy and Nicola,
23:22first chance he gets,
23:23and tell him exactly what you're planning.
23:25And if that happens,
23:26all bets are off.
23:29Careful.
23:39Sorry.
23:40I'm not going to mush.
23:42You all right?
23:53Lils!
23:55Hunking off again?
23:57I'm not really getting mushed on.
23:58I can't concentrate with everything that's going on.
24:02Sit down.
24:09Listen, from now on, right,
24:11you haven't got to take on so much, all right?
24:13Because me, Alfie, Eve and Suki,
24:15we're here.
24:16And there will always be someone
24:18to look after the little ones, all right?
24:20Make sure they're fed and watered.
24:21She's gone back up to her room again, hasn't she?
24:28I just think she needs more time.
24:30I need her.
24:31Why don't she get that?
24:35We need her.
24:36We all need her.
24:37I lost him, too.
24:38I know you did, darling.
24:39Listen, I know this is hard,
24:42but things will get better.
24:43I promise you.
24:47Can't she stay like this?
24:49I could lose Charlie.
24:49No.
24:50Of course I could.
24:51Mum's an illegal guardian.
24:52No, no.
24:53That is not happening, all right?
24:54That is just not happening.
24:56It's all bad.
24:59I know it's not, darling.
25:01But we're all here, all right?
25:02We've all got each other.
25:04It's going to be okay, I promise you.
25:08She said she's not depressed,
25:10but, Gran, the way she's behaving...
25:12What sort of thing are we talking about, exactly?
25:16I don't know.
25:16It's everything.
25:18She's erratic.
25:19She's secretive, argumentative.
25:21It's like...
25:23It's like when she was using...
25:25Well, we know it's not that.
25:28She wouldn't do that.
25:29Not with a baby.
25:31I know.
25:33I know, you're right.
25:34Of course.
25:49I...
25:50I need some help.
25:52It's my baby.
25:53I...
25:53I think you might be blind.
25:55I...
25:56I think you're a girl, a little girl, you know?
25:57I...
25:58I think you're attends.
25:58It's...
25:59It's a long way.
26:00Yeah, yeah.
26:01It's a long way to...
26:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:03Yeah, yeah.
