01:30the farm you go up there she'll send you packing we're partners we've got just as much right to
01:35be there as she does what part of we can't work together didn't you understand but that was when
01:39Moira thought that you had pushed Aaron and John off the gorge now she knows it wasn't you we've got
01:43no reason to stay away she's got no beef with us John's still our brother yes but we're not
01:49responsible for his actions and Moira knows that so are you coming or what no not today
01:54don't you go anywhere near Aaron Charles said keep your distance yeah
01:58Chas's words law I get it hiya hiya welcome home I've got a few bits because I knew that the
02:09flight was in late last night oh my goodness what's happened to your fingers oh snorkeling
02:15accident don't ask she broke her finger trying to get back on board in her flippers there was
02:19something scary in the water so yeah we spent a full day in a and e but apart from that it was a belter
02:25yeah it was lovely the hotel sport was rotten didn't it yeah and Thomas had a great time at
02:29kids club oh where is he is he upstairs uh no I dropped him first thing at Kim's I thought
02:34I'd make an early start you know get cracking with work stuff yeah and I've got a little
02:38discrap to pick up on wait at yard well Aaron's come out of hospital we all thought that Robert
02:42made a mess of his life but compared to John he's an angel poor Aaron him and John seem so perfect
02:49you never know what's going on underneath do you right I'm off I love you love you too bye so now you
03:00can tell me exactly what went wrong with the honeymoon what do you mean you're putting on the front no I'm
03:05not yes you are no it was nice you know alone together 24 hours a day but but oh Laurel it's
03:17been so hard hiding the truth from Vinnie what do you mean the truth about what I did and that I hate
03:23myself because every time he does something sweet kind and caring like he always does it makes it even
03:28worse what are you talking about Gabby when I went away to Portugal on my own I did something
03:33awful how awful I slept with some randomer that I met in a bar just the once and it was a mistake
03:41a terrible mistake Gabby you were engaged why I don't know it must be genetic because turns out I am
03:49stupid selfish and self-sabotaging just like my mom who knew huh right Jay you better call me back now
03:59how's Vic doing keeping it together yeah she's getting there what about you from what I hear
04:08when you got banged up she believed the psycho killers version of events over you just like the
04:13police did that has to hurt John could be very convincing well I suppose you can't blame her
04:18who's gonna give an ex-con the benefit of the doubt huh all right I didn't think they'd let you
04:23out of hospital so soon me neither I'm confident to go nothing short of a miracle I mean one minute
04:29that lunatic's pulling you off a cliff and the next you're standing here all your limbs intact yeah
04:34he's had a lucky escape he's not the only one I said to Jimmy last night it's weird there's CCTV
04:41everywhere these days but nobody has got so much as a glimpse of John since he walked out of the
04:46hospital yeah well he's Beck's army ain't he he'll know the score to vanish into the night I like
04:50that he's either got supernatural powers or he's had to have had help from someone so what are you
04:55saying it's me why don't you just keep your traps shut all right Aaron you need to calm down and you
04:59need to back off did you hear that this is all on you I know you don't want me here but I couldn't
05:15leave things the way that they are me neither listen I I meant to call you when I found out the truth
05:21about John I was so wrong about Robert I'm really really sorry me too you know I am you're as much
05:30a victim as everyone else but we are partners and you and Robert are the reason that this place is still
05:38on its feet I had no right to treat you the way I did so I can just crack on so we can do Kane isn't

09:31microdose just keeps the stress levels down well I'll be in touch for you
09:39what's that it's bad enough coming back here staying with my mum but my head's just not in
09:52the right place to go back to the flat that flat and then the police turned up first thing this
09:59morning got my mum out of bed what they found John no he just had his van full of all the stuff from
10:06the cottage and they didn't know what to do with it and you're just throwing a match to the lot
10:11just stood there and watched it burn thought it might help somehow but you can't burn memories can
10:21you so now I know I'll I'll never be rid of him or forget him hey come on
10:29how can you even stand having me here after everything all you tried to do is help me and I've just
10:39just pushed you away
10:42I still care about you
10:51a lot
10:54I am sorry you know that don't you
10:59all that matters now is us
11:03we got through it
11:06we're okay
11:09no no
11:14not now not like this
11:35you're the one who's chased me since you got out of prison and now all of a sudden you're not interested
11:39trust me I've never wanted you more
11:41so what's the problem
11:42do you even have to ask
11:44I'm not doing this
11:45look
11:46I've never stopped wanting you you know that but
11:49not like this
11:51you're rebounding you're vulnerable you're all over the place
11:55well you get taught that in a group therapy session in prison did you
12:00look what you've just been through it's massive it's life changing
12:03the trauma it's not even really sunk in yet when it does it's gonna hit you like a train
12:09us me and you kicking off again it's the last thing you need
12:14so that's your excuse
12:16it's the truth
12:18you're the strongest person I know Aaron but Chas was right
12:22it's all too raw right now
12:25best thing I can do right now is keep my distance
12:28my mum said that to you
12:31you know it'd mean a big investment
12:33so that's a no even before you've properly thought about it
12:37no I am not dismissing what you've just said
12:39well you haven't given me a single bit of positive feedback even after all the work I've done
12:43come here
12:45I know what this is
12:47the problem with trying to distract yourself from life with work
12:53is that when the work stops
12:56life's still there
12:58yeah I know
12:59I know and I know it's not about
13:01food trucks
13:02or alpacas
13:04or ponies
13:05it's just
13:06I needed to keep my mind busy
13:07so I wouldn't think about
13:09how I missed every single sign
13:11that John was who he was
13:13well
13:15we all did
13:16believe me
13:17hindsight is a wonderful thing
13:19right you

13:30take it one day at a time
13:31alright
13:32Graham Connelly's trial
13:34aka Mike
13:36I always knew deep down that once I'd given a statement to police this had happened
13:40and now it's really not so sure
13:43Robert's going to be bad enough innit
13:45talking about what he did to me with some lawyer picking holes and everything I say
13:48I'll come with you
13:50so you're not alone
13:51and look
13:52I'd really appreciate that Cammy
13:54but
13:55what about Gabby
13:56all it'll take you know for some court reporter to put my name on the internet and then everyone knows don't they
14:01she knows about
14:02about Mike
14:03about everything
14:04she loves you

14:10I've got to go pick up Thomas
14:11okay
14:12hey hey hey
14:13you can't just tell me you slept with a stranger and then just leave
14:15trust me
14:16telling you about the rest of it isn't going to make it any better
14:18well try me
14:19come here
14:20come here
14:23when I went away to Portugal
14:25with mum
14:26she was on me the whole time about whether Vinny was the one or not
14:29gone
14:30and then
14:31we went out
14:33one night
14:34and mum won this limbo competition at the beach
14:37and
14:38we had way too many pina coladas and the barman
14:41George
14:42it was
14:43charming
14:44and you forgot you were engaged
14:46but then all I could think about is how much I really love Vinny
14:50but it took a night with a stranger for you to realise
14:53hang on
14:55hang on
14:56is that why Benyce wanted to call the whole thing off
14:58what
14:59before I went away things were really weird between me and Vinny
15:02it's like he was distant and distracted and it was even worse when I got back
15:07listen
15:08love
15:09if you really love Vinny
15:10you're going to have to tell him the truth
15:12what
15:13and risk losing the one guy that I've felt safe with
15:15who worships the ground that I walk on
15:17no
15:18I'm just going to do what mum always did and just
15:20pretend it never happened
15:21read it all behind me and just
15:23spend the rest of my life making it up to him
15:32got paid today
15:33nice
15:34thought I'd go to the bank pull out some money that I owe you
15:37never
15:38ever
15:39hand over anything where people can see got it
15:42it's for your own good
15:45you can't be too careful flashing that much cash around
15:48so

15:51yeah
15:57good work kid
15:59you carry on like this

16:05been trying to get a hold of you
16:06Caleb messaged me said that Nicola had a go at you
16:08you okay?
16:09I know I might be living here right now
16:11and I know my life is a mess but that doesn't mean you can treat me like I'm five years old
16:15since when do you get to tell me who I can and can't see?
16:18oh you talk to Robert
16:19but he only lives over the road
16:20yes okay we might have had words
16:21but I didn't want you to end up in the state that you're in right now
16:24you are just out of hospital Aaron and you're vulnerable
16:27he played a part in all of this too he is bad news
16:30no he's not
16:31he knew there was something wrong with John the minute he met him
16:34and do you know what if I had listened to him I wouldn't have ended up in this mess
16:37I don't want you getting caught up in something again
16:39look I am just doing my best
16:41I'm trying my hardest to help keep you safe here
16:43whilst John's out there mum I'll never be safe

17:04I think we need to have a proper chat
17:06about what?
17:07the adoption
17:08my solicitor called this morning and Jamie is officially an absentee parent so we don't need his consent
17:13oh so we can go ahead without him
17:15yeah we can start the whole process tomorrow
17:17so there's no reason not to tell Thomas
17:19I'm so excited for him you know
17:21he's gonna finally have a proper dad
17:23and a solid forever family
