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, we'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.
01:29Give me a minute.
01:30I'm apologise for it.
01:31Not apologising, no!
01:40I support you every step of the way for your blackmailing for you, your drugs.
01:44We need a family meeting.
01:51I'm not apologising, Lauren.
01:53I've supported you every step of the way for your blackmailing, for your drugs.
01:58No, see, I thought you'd been supporting me,
02:00but actually there's been this voice inside your head this whole time
02:03saying, once a junkie, always a junkie.
02:07Well, that's not fair, is it?
02:08What was it that you said to Linda?
02:10If she relapses?
02:13You honestly don't think that I've got it in me to stay clean, do you?
02:15Oh, I hope you can, Lauren, but it's hard.
02:18You've relapsed before.
02:20Yeah, a relapse can be part of recovery.
02:22I'm not arguing with you, OK? I love you, Lauren.
02:24Everything about you, always have.
02:26But you've got to own this.
02:28You've got to accept that this might impact our boys.
02:35He probably wants feeding again.
02:38No, it's nothing. It's changed.
02:40Well, let me go get Lily sorted because the health visit is coming at 9.15
02:46and I want to get back from school running time, yeah?
02:49Yeah, I haven't forgotten because I actually want to talk to her about Jimmy.
02:53Because if you won't listen to me, maybe she will.
02:55Listen about what?
02:59You still think there's something wrong with him, don't you?
03:01Nothing quite like a mother's instinct.
03:03Listen, be there. Don't be there. It's up to you.
03:10Let's go.
03:12Change that in the...
03:13Please tell me you have slept on it and realised that kidnapping of 15-year-olds
03:23is about your worst idea you've ever wanted to.
03:25I told you. He wants out of that place.
03:28Well, because he thinks he don't fit in.
03:30Him and every other teenager on the planet.
03:32This is different, innit?
03:33From what you and Sharon have said, Nicola is dangerous.
03:36If you do this,
03:38Er and Teddy could unleash hell.
03:41Barney might want to change his life.
03:43As far as he knows,
03:44you're just some random bloke who lives across the square.
03:46I'm not telling the truth, will I?
03:48Wouldn'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.
03:57You can't blow his world apart and expect him to trust you.
04:02I thought I smelled it over, wouldn't I?
04:03Oh, right. Yeah.
04:04Because you thought you're all through and you've got a plan.
04:06Not yet.
04:06No, I can tell.
04:10Poor kid.
04:16You all right?
04:17Hello.
04:17Yeah, good.
04:18Shouldn't Lily and Freddie be here?
04:22Well, Lily's at school and Freddie's still in short trousers.
04:25It's grown-ups only.
04:26Cheers.
04:26Yeah, I know.
04:27I get it, but it just feels a bit odd, you know,
04:30having outsiders here and not them.
04:31Listen, no offence.
04:32I am a bit offended, actually, Alfie.
04:34I've been married into this family for three years.
04:36I'm going to be slater.
04:37Eve, sorry, my bad.
04:38Didn't mean anything by us.
04:40At the end of the day,
04:41the kids need all the help they can get, yeah?
04:43Exactly.
04:43So, with Jean not around,
04:45we all need to look after this place
04:47until Stacey gets back on her feet.
04:48Yeah, and we can all look after a few kids in our sleep.
04:50We'll just drop a rota.
04:51Yeah, but for how long?
04:53This has been going on for weeks.
04:54What if this has nothing to do with Martin anymore?
04:56What if there's something more serious going on?
04:59You think she needs professional help?
05:01Well, I don't know.
05:01It took Charlie getting hurt before Lily reached out.
05:03And listen, we can't go stomping him with our size tens.
05:06We'll probably end up losing her trust for good.
05:08This isn't about what Lily wants.
05:09It's about what her and the other kids need.
05:12Stacey as well.
05:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:13Cat, I get it,
05:14but Lily's already seen Jean being dragged out
05:16by men in white coats.
05:17Imagine what they do
05:18so if she sees it happening to Stacey, yeah?
05:20Jean wasn't dragged anywhere, all right?
05:22Last time, Jean volunteered to go to hospital.
05:24Which Stacey won't do
05:25because she won't leave the kids.
05:27She might not have a choice.
05:28Well, people don't get sectioned
05:29for staying in their bedroom.
05:31And especially not with their grieving.
05:33Well, if Cat's right.
05:35I mean, Stacey is in pain.
05:38It's just we don't know if she's in crisis.
05:40We don't know anything for sure yet, do we?
05:42We need to get her to talk to us
05:43so we can find out how really bad this is.
05:45How?
05:46She won't even open her bedroom door.
05:48She's got no food or water up there, all right?
05:50She's bound to come down eventually.
05:52We can get this sorted
05:53without getting the hospital involved.
05:54I don't know.
05:56But I know that she'd want us to try.
06:00In an ideal world,
06:06he'd be back at his birth weight by now
06:07and we're not quite there.
06:10Your notes say you've had a few issues
06:12with breastfeeding.
06:13Yeah, well, we're still trying
06:15and I'm expressing, so...
06:16Great. Well done.
06:18I know the first couple of weights can be intense
06:20but you guys seem to have a handle on things.
06:24Yeah, well, we don't, actually.
06:27I mean, I'm not like one of them mums
06:28that don't even know how to put the nappy on
06:30and that...
06:31because I have had a baby before
06:32and I was a teen when my little brother was born
06:35but this...
06:37the way that Jimmy is
06:38it's not how babies are supposed to be.
06:41Mine's got this feeling
06:42or this...
06:43this instinct that something's wrong with him.
06:47Wrong in what way?
06:49Can you give me some examples?
06:52Yeah, well, it's just...
06:54it's everything.
06:56I mean, he's not latching on properly
06:57and he doesn't sleep.
07:01And I know you're going to say
07:02that this is what all babies are like
07:04but that is what I was going to say.
07:06But I told you, I know babies.
07:08You've never met Jimmy before, though.
07:10It can take a while to get to know baby,
07:12even for mums.
07:13But that's what I'm trying to say.
07:14I do know him.
07:16I know everything there is to know about him
07:17because he's my son
07:18and then something just isn't right.
07:20Sorry, am I speaking a different language
07:24or something here?
07:24Can you hear me?
07:26Lauren, I've already checked Jimmy over
07:28and he's absolutely fine.
07:32How are you feeling generally?
07:35Are you still in any pain from the birth?
07:39Mood okay?
07:53Thanks.
07:58I'm very sorry about that.
07:59She's not herself.
08:00She's exhausted.
08:02I'll call back next week to check in
08:03but keep an eye on her.
08:04Things like postnatal depression can creep up.
08:08You think she might be depressed?
08:09I'm just saying be alert.
08:11Call me if you need anything.
08:24Is it too much to ask for a little bit of support?
08:28Lauren, I really think you need...
08:30If you tell me to get some sleep one more time,
08:35I will not be responsible for what I do.
08:39Stace, I know you don't want to talk,
08:56but 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 it.
09:05Can't you just talk to me for one second?
09:08Stace?
09:14I thought it'd be easier, just you and me,
09:16but if you won't listen,
09:17this is the only way.
09:18Oh, no, it's all right.
09:25Oh, sorry, lads.
09:28Coffee's on me today.
09:30Oh, no, it's all right.
09:30I've got Bill this tea on the way
09:32and Kath's special fryer.
09:36Okay.
09:37So why you still look so miserable?
09:40Let me guess.
09:41There.
09:46I didn't ring her.
09:47I didn't think it would be fair.
09:48We haven't spoken in ages.
09:50Probably we won't ever speak to her again now.
09:53There we go.
09:54Thank you, Kate.
09:57Any luck with the job, aren't you?
09:59Oh, old-fashioned cabbies like me
10:01were a dying breaker.
10:04At least Kat finally texted me back.
10:05She's going to step in with Lily and the kids,
10:06which is a relief
10:08because I hardly slept a wink last night
10:10worrying about what was Stacey being so upset
10:13and Jean being gone.
10:15Come here, you.
10:16Oh, oh, 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
10:25with how we got here,
10:26but I'm so glad we did
10:28because you and me, Harvey,
10:29we deserve to be happy.
10:30Yes, we do.
10:32Come here.
10:34Peter.
10:35Oh, hi.
10:36Uh, Peter, no, don't...
10:38Hi, Chief.
10:41Uh, your dad told me he saw you last night
10:44and what he said about being there for you,
10:46that goes double for me too, OK?
10:49I mean, if you and Lauren want to break at all,
10:50even for a cup of coffee together...
10:52I don't think I'll be on the cards at the minute, Grant.
10:55Why? What's happened?
10:58Oh, Peter.
11:01Come on, I've got a break due anyway.
11:03Come on. Come on, sit down.
11:04Come on.
11:05Uh, cover for me, will you?
11:07Come on.
11:10We are all here because we love you
11:12and we know you
11:13and 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, I heard something.
11:20But he didn't do anything.
11:21Well, kids cry.
11:23There's always screaming in this house.
11:25Is that it?
11:30Stacy.
11:32Stacy, please, please.
11:34Mate.
11:35Sit down.
11:36We can't leave you like this.
11:37Please sit down.
11:38Lily panicked, right?
11:43She picked up Charlie
11:45and 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,
12:00I 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, Stacy.
12:25We're desperate, all of us.
12:27I mean, it's all very well being this way
12:29when 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.
12:37And now she's alone, just like I'm there.
12:40Look, you're not sleeping.
12:42You're not washing.
12:43I can smell you from here.
12:45The house is a dump.
12:47And the kids don't know whether they're coming or going.
12:49I don't care, Kat.
12:51I don't care.
12:53Don't you understand?
12:54I don't care about you, me, them, none of it.
12:58All I want is just peace and quiet to think.
13:01Are you taking your meds?
13:05Well, are you?
13:07That's none of you bitches.
13:10Martin 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?
13:20Because you're going to be nicking money out of my petty cash to cover it.
13:23You being like this is hurting them.
13:26You are hurting your kids.
13:27Well, 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.
13:48Hold on, Mum, I'll call you back.
13:57No, he's fine for life.
14:09I'm sorry for security.
14:10No, I don't have a pun.
14:14You're doing it.
14:15This is mine.
14:18Oh my God.
14:22I can't.
14:23Look, I know what me and Harvey did was wrong,
14:30and I don't blame you for feeling let down.
14:32I still shouldn't have spoke to you like that, though. I'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.
14:51No, the best thing I can do is just accept it now.
14:55But 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,
15:06but 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.
15:13Owen keeps saying there's something wrong with Jimmy,
15:16that she has this feeling,
15:18but the health visitors checked him out,
15:20and he's fine.
15:22Well, one man's 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
15:28post-natal depression.
15:33God, you know, honestly,
15:34I just don't know anymore.
15:36Yeah, well, baby blues, they used to call it.
15:38And after I had been, you know,
15:40I 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 okay.
15:55Just give me a laugh, please.
15:57Oh, Peter, did you get the baby clothes
15:59I 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 okay?
16:06Yeah, he's fine.
16:07He's...
16:07Look, Lauren's just struggling a little bit, that's all.
16:11We're struggling now.
16:12My mother-in-law issues, probably.
16:13Are you still punishing me?
16:15I mean, the Sky Warmer 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.
16:29I'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.
16:46There you go, Zach.
16:51Oh, you made it!
16:52Oh, you all right?
16:53I'm just going to nip 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.
17:06If Mum hadn't hired that psycho,
17:08Shireen would still be it.
17:10Look, I know you're angry.
17:13I get it.
17:16You 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 and Lexi free this weekend?
17:29A surprise for Nigel's birthday.
17:31Yeah, he never mentioned anything, huh?
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.
17:48He's just trying to stay out of family dramas.
17:51I know you've seen it from Shireen's side,
17:53but you know what my lot are like.
17:54Yeah, no offence, mate,
17:55but I try and steer clear of your lot.
17:56Yeah, so do I.
17:57Only trouble is I can't.
17:59Still, I don't blame Harry for moving out.
18:01His mum and dad's girlfriend's fault.
18:02I've moved 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 I said anything.
18:09Yeah, of course, mate.
18:23Oh, 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? What?
18:33In Jimmy's eye.
18:34It just looks a little bit weird.
18:38Right.
18:39Right, Lauren, I think...
18:41I think you've got to press pause on all of this
18:44until you start feeling a bit better.
18:46Feeling better?
18:46What?
18:47What 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
19:08and 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.
19:29Ian!
19:42This isn't about us.
19:44It's about Peter and her grandchildren.
19:47However much you hate me,
19:48we've always got 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.
19:55I saw him earlier practically crying on Cavi's shoulder.
19:59Now, 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.
20:23Lauren Brannan is a sinking ship.
20:25Peter 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?
20:56Do you have to sit off to her, 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.
21:02So where do I go from here?
21:08I know.
21:08At least we'd rather to talk to us.
21:10But I'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.
21:15I've got a few things to do
21:22on our way to collect Louie.
21:25Jamie.
21:27Thank you for calling
21:28Panisar House Surgery.
21:30For same-day appointments,
21:31please call between the hours 8 and 8.30am.
21:35Forget it.
21:43Oh, Nigel!
21:44Nigel!
21:45Oh, no, no!
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
22:02so we can all have a meal 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 for a change?
22:10Vicky, let me get you a drink, please.
22:21Chase.
22:22Listen, I didn't like the way that
22:24we 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 you are.
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, Harry,
22:51he's moved a billion, honey?
22:53Yeah, I did hear something.
22:55I don't know what you think
22:56that's got to do with anything.
22:57Well, he moved out of his parents
22:58the same time that body was found.
23:01That 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.
23:07Someone like that,
23:09he might want to give his little brother a chance
23:10at a better life.
23:11That is a bit of a leap.
23:13I can be pretty charming.
23:14I'll butter him up.
23:16He'll help me get Barney back on site.
23:19He might do.
23:20Or he might go running to Teddy and Nicola
23:23first chance he gets
23:23and tell him exactly what you're planning.
23:25And if that happens,
23:26all bets are off.
23:37Careful.
23:40Sorry.
23:40I'm not going to mush.
23:42You're right.
23:53Lils!
23:55Bunking off again?
23:57I'm not really getting mushed on.
23:58I can't concentrate on everything that's going on.
24:02Sit down, then.
24:03Listen, 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.
24:24She's gone back up to her room again, hasn't she?
24:26I just think she needs more time.
24:30I need her.
24:33Why 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.
24:44I promise you.
24:47Can't she stay like this?
24:49I could lose Charlie.
24:49No, no.
24:50Of course I could.
24:51Mum's a legal guardian.
24:52No, no.
24:53That is not happening, all right?
24:54That is just not happening.
24:58It's not fair.
24:59Oh, no, it's not, darling.
25:01But we're all here.
25:02We've all got each other.
25:04It's going to be okay.
25:05I promise you.
25:08Look, she said she's not depressed,
25:10but, Gran, the way she's behaving...
25:12Yeah, but what sort of thing
25:14are 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 her.
25:26Well, we know it's not that.
25:28She wouldn't do that.
25:29Not with a baby.
25:32I know.
25:33No, you're right.
25:34Of course.
25:34I need some help.
25:52It's my baby.
25:53I think you might be blind.
