00:00I
00:30Hi there Jimmy. What are you up to? I have been sleeping like a baby. What in the Pirates yet? Has Nicola chucked you out? No. No I was supposed to sleep on the sofa but I couldn't get comfy so I came out here. I had a great night. Don't tell Nicola. Your secret's safe from me but how come you're sleeping on the sofa?
00:55Well it got so crowded in Laurels we ran out of beds and Nicola's reorganising everything and everybody. It was time to hide. Oh I don't blame you. Yeah. Laurel's getting tired of being told what to do in her own house. So she and Dottie went to tea with Jay and Archie and decided to stay over. I don't blame her. Sounds tense. Oh it gets worse. Carl has been texting Clemmie.
01:23So Nicola's gone to Laurel asking for advice on what to do when your kids start dating. Just let them get on with it?
01:31No no no no. You've got to put trackers on their phones so you know where they are at all times. It's like MI5. I don't think it's a good idea.
01:41It was so much easier when we were kids wasn't it? Eh? You got told to go out into the fresh air and not come back till tea time. Which is where I am now.
01:50You're avoiding the Mulberry Cottage breakfast rota. Oh you bet. You know last night I had a lovely drop of brandy as a nightcap. Went down a treat.
01:59Oh sounds good to me that. Hey why don't you pop over to the B&B tonight. We'll have a jar together. Keep you out of Nicola's hair for another night.
02:08I'll bring a few odds and sots.
02:09Yeah I woke up feeling so excited about the 12 week scan this morning. I bet you are on all.
02:20Well it's just to check that everything's going okay and it's not for a few weeks yet.
02:23Yeah look Gran I know you've been through all this before but it's a big deal for me and Jacob.
02:27And you know our baby will have got so much bigger since the last scan he arranged. We were reading up about it.
02:32Yeah I bet you were. The important thing is that the pregnancy is going well but you're feeling okay aren't you?
02:38Yeah I'm fine. Good. Let's hope it stays that way cause we don't want anything happening to our baby.
02:48What do you want Ross? We need to talk. In er private.
02:54Okay I'll leave you to it. Alright darling.
03:02So? You're gonna show me these paternity test results or what?
03:06I haven't got it yet okay?
03:09Look I'll chase them up. This morning.
03:12And then when I get the results I'll bring them over to the farm for you. Okay?
03:17You better not let me down.
03:26Hey. Why weren't you on the sofa this morning?
03:28Well I was worried I might keep people awake with my snoring so I took myself out to the pirate ship.
03:36Hardly slept a wink but I was doing it for the family.
03:39Oh very noble. What do you think of this?
03:41It's small for me.
03:42It's for Carl to impress his girlfriend.
03:45What do you think?
03:47That's more your decision than mine.
03:49It's not as if it's going anywhere at his age.
03:51I've got to get to the yard. Any chance of some breakfast?
03:53No.
03:54This is serious okay?
04:00How do you fancy a weekend away or something?
04:07It's not really bucket sped sea weather.
04:10I was thinking of something a bit more romantic.
04:13I don't know if we're there yet Cammy.
04:17Yeah, but we could be.
04:21Maybe we could go to some really flashed restaurant and go from there.
04:25Well that costs money.
04:27You're worth it.
04:29Are you serious about this?
04:30You just say yes and I'll book dinner.
04:32Well, why don't we save the cash and I'll cook for you.
04:38You can come over there. I've got a free house.
04:41Sounds good to me.
04:45Oh.
04:47I've got to go.
04:48I'll see you later yeah?
04:49Yeah.
04:50Oh.
04:51Just the couple I wanted to see.
04:53Do you think Clemmie would be impressed with this sweatshirt?
05:09I thought Charity was supposed to be doing the bottling up today.
05:11Yeah, she was.
05:12But her mind seems to be elsewhere at the moment.
05:14You should tell her.
05:15It's not good enough.
05:16Oh, you know how stubborn she can be.
05:18I don't know what else I can do to make her listen.
05:21Do you want me to have a word with her?
05:22No, no.
05:24Forget it.
05:25Forget I said anything.
05:27I don't think I'd be much help anyway.
05:28I'm all over the shop today.
05:31Of course.
05:35Have you had the results back from your prostate test?
05:38No, probably won't be for a few more days yet.
05:42I'm so sorry I've let Charity take my mind off everything else.
05:45Should have been here for you, not her.
05:48It wouldn't have made much difference anyway.
05:50Not until we know the school.
05:51Everything's going to be fine.
05:58I think they'll make a really sweet couple.
06:00Nicola, at their age they'll have moved on to someone else by next week.
06:03Oh, I don't know.
06:05Carl was texting Clemmie for an hour last night.
06:07Sounds pretty serious to me.
06:08Yeah, maybe they're fixing a wedding date.
06:10Oh, Carl's school.
06:11Hi.
06:13Yeah, something happened.
06:16Well that's awful.
06:17Is he alright?
06:20Well who was it?
06:22Oh.
06:24Some kid at school's hit Carl.
06:26I mean one of the teachers is tending to him.
06:27But she won't tell me who it was.
06:28Can you believe that?
06:30Maybe they have to call the other kids' parents first?
06:32Why?
06:33They should be looking out for the victims.
06:35Not protecting bullying thugs.
06:36It'll just be a scrap between kids, Nicola.
06:38I wouldn't worry about it.
06:39No, you let them get away with it at this age and in a few years times they'll be running
06:42round the streets with knives and guns.
06:44PHONE RINGS
06:45Oh, hey.
06:46Mrs Appleby.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Yeah, okay.
06:50No problem.
06:51Yeah, I'll be right there.
06:53Someone hit Lucas too?
06:54No.
06:55He's been sent home for hitting another child.
06:56So it was him who beat up my car?
06:57I don't know, Nicola.
06:58I'm just going to go pick him up.
06:59Oh, I didn't hear you coming.
07:00Er, yeah.
07:01I just got to hear you on the phone.
07:02Oh, well thanks for coming.
07:03Sorry if it's the last minute.
07:04You brought your laptop.
07:05Er, yeah.
07:06So, what do you need help with?
07:07Okay, so I know this sounds a bit weird.
07:08Don't worry.
07:09I don't worry.
07:10I don't worry.
07:11I don't worry.
07:12I don't worry.
07:13I don't worry.
07:14I don't worry.
07:15I don't worry.
07:16I don't worry.
07:17I don't worry.
07:18I don't worry.
07:19I don't worry.
07:20I don't worry.
07:21I don't worry.
07:22What do you need help with?
07:24Okay, so I know this sounds a bit weird.
07:26Don't laugh at me.
07:27I need you to give me a few tips on photo editing.
07:31Right.
07:32Why?
07:33Well, because I just want to learn a few things.
07:35I know I can be a bit slow with all of that and, er,
07:38well, it won't take long and I promise I'll pay attention.
07:41Probably just quicker if I do it for you.
07:44No, you can't.
07:45Why not?
07:47Because I don't want to waste your time.
07:49Look, I just need you to teach me the basics
07:51and then you can be on your way.
07:52Right.
07:53I get it.
07:54You don't want me to see what you're up to.
07:56Well, it's probably better for both of us that way, yeah?
07:59So it's criminal then?
08:00No!
08:01No.
08:02Look, I promise you it's not criminal, okay?
08:04But it is a little bit dodgy, yeah?
08:09Look, the truth is I need to knock up a few fake invoices
08:12to make the tax figures add up.
08:14Are you serious?
08:15You want the Woolpack to be a thriving business like me, don't you?
08:18What?
08:19Yeah, well, I better do them then so you're messing up.
08:21No!
08:22Look, I know you normally do the accounts and everything, Ryan,
08:24but I'm genuinely looking out for you here, okay?
08:27Like I said, it is a bit dodgy, but if I get into any trouble,
08:30I can honestly say you knew nothing about it.
08:34Look, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
08:37Ryan, please, do this for your mum.
08:40What did Carl do to make you so angry?
08:43Please, Lucas, just talk to me.
08:46It's alright, I'll deal with it.
08:47I just thought you might find things easier talking man to man.
08:50Well, if he does, he can speak to me.
08:53I mean, you're not exactly getting anywhere, are you?
08:55I'm his dad.
08:56So I should be the one who deals with this, so back off.
08:58Okay, can we stop this? We just want it sorted.
09:01Fine.
09:02Look, you probably hit the guy because he said or did something stupid, right?
09:08I've had that feeling loads of times.
09:10If you just talk to us about it,
09:12we can make sure that the school takes it easier on you.
09:17Great, you're both getting nowhere, so leave this to me.
09:19Do you want to clear off?
09:21Okay.
09:22If you're not going to talk, you're going to listen, alright?
09:24And I'm going to tell you how this is.
09:26You are going to get in trouble at school and you deserve it
09:28because you can't go around hitting people, alright?
09:30I know.
09:32And Nicola is going to kick up such a fuss about this.
09:35So we're going to go round, you're going to apologise
09:37and you're going to promise this never happens again, okay?
09:39No.
09:40Yes, you are, alright? You need to make this right.
09:42I'm not doing it.
09:43Get in the car right now.
09:52Er, you better not be trying to palm me off with another pathetic excuse.
09:58You don't trust me, do you?
10:00Er.
10:01There were delays, okay?
10:02So I chased them up like I promised.
10:04They let me pick them up this morning.
10:07Well, go on, read it.
10:10It proves without any doubt that you're not the father of this baby, okay?
10:15And I'm sure he's pleased to hear that as I am.
10:19Er, where are you going?
10:20Well, I reckon we had nothing left to talk about.
10:26Maybe, but I haven't read them properly.
10:29I need to go through it a bit more carefully.
10:31So it's true then?
10:32I wish we would have settled this earlier.
10:33Would have saved me a lot of fretting.
10:34Oh, and me.
10:35Hmm.
10:36Guess we should be celebrating then.
10:37I can't say I feel like celebrating with you, Ross.
10:38Not until you apologise for calling me a liar over this.
10:43Okay.
10:44I'm sorry.
10:45But you have to admit, this is the best result for both of us.
10:46Yeah, I guess so.
10:47Yeah, I guess so.
10:48Yeah, I guess so.
10:49And at least now we'll never have to discuss this ever again.
10:54Sue?
11:08Together...
11:10this is the best result for both of us.
11:13Yeah, I guess so.
11:14Yeah, I guess so.
11:15And at least now we'll never have to discuss this ever again.
11:18Suits me.
11:20Great.
11:28I'm sure we both want this sorted out as soon as possible.
11:32My Carl's so traumatised he hasn't said anything since he got home.
11:35Yeah, I haven't got much out of Lucas either, but I thought if he apologised and they both promised not to fight again, then we could put it behind us.
11:42Carl wasn't fighting.
11:44He got hit, that makes him the victim. Your Lucas started it.
11:46Okay, Nicola, they're both just kids. You're assuming it's Lucas' fault?
11:50Of course it was. Lucas hit Carl because he's jealous of him, it's obvious.
11:55Is that what happened, Carl?
11:57Not exactly.
11:58I didn't think so.
12:00You brought him here to apologise, not to try and shift the blame.
12:03I brought him here to draw a line under this, and if an apology starts that, then it's a small price to pay.
12:08So get on with it.
12:10All right, so you're sorry, Lucas.
12:11Lucas, just do it.
12:14No.
12:15If you apologise, we can go home.
12:17I told you, no.
12:19That's what we've come here for.
12:20I'm not sorry, I'm glad I hit him.
12:22Lucas!
12:23See, I told you.
12:24You brought up a jealous little bully.
12:25And knowing what you were like when you were doing what you want to be, Joe, not caring about anyone else.
12:30It's no surprise.
12:31Not much of an example to kids, are you?
12:33No wonder he's running wild.
12:34Lucas, I don't know why you're behaving like this.
12:37And don't bring him back till he's ready to apologise.
12:41Oh.
12:42Don't worry, love.
12:43We won't let him bully you anymore.
12:45Even if it means the school have to expel him.
12:47Glass of whiskey, please, Chas.
12:57Grande.
12:58Coming up.
12:59Fancy joining me?
13:00That's very kind of you.
13:01Well, it's a bit of a celebration.
13:03One for Dr Liam, too, please.
13:05And what exactly are we celebrating?
13:06Well, that is top secret, but I thought I was about to have a very bad day, but it's turned out to be a very good one.
13:11I have really dodged a bullet there.
13:13One for you and all, please, Chas.
13:15No, thank you.
13:16I think you and me need another little talk.
13:21No, we don't.
13:21I've had enough of them lately.
13:22Right, look, Ross has just told Liam that he has dodged a bullet.
13:27Why would he say that?
13:29Absolutely no idea.
13:30No, this has got your fingerprints all over it.
13:33You said that you'd figure something out.
13:35Is this it?
13:41You guys took your time?
13:42Sorry, I had to stop for a coffee to calm myself down.
13:45Didn't work.
13:46Nicola was never going to accept that apology.
13:47That was a waste of time.
13:49Well, it might not have been if Lucas hadn't refused to give one.
13:52That was stupid, Lucas.
13:53Look, it's not too late to put this right.
13:55We can give her a call.
13:58Are you listening?
13:58Yes, and I'm not going to apologise.
14:02Shall I have a word with him?
14:04No, if he's not listening to me, he won't listen to you.
14:05Right, up to your room right now.
14:07I don't want to see you for the rest of the day, OK?
14:08I've really messed up.
14:13No, this is not your fault.
14:14This is all on him.
14:15Yeah, but I'm his mother.
14:16I should be able to deal with things like this.
14:18I think he just needs some time to think about what he's done.
14:21In the meantime, you and I should have a drink.
14:24Yes.
14:26And I just know that Nicola is going to make such a big deal out of this.
14:31You know she said it was my fault?
14:33Hmm?
14:34Like, she said I'm a bad mother.
14:37That's ridiculous.
14:40I was just thinking about you and me, and...
14:43Maybe this break-up has been harder on them than we thought.
14:46I don't think you and I have got anything to do with this.
14:48He's never done anything like this.
14:52Maybe it is our fault.
14:56Oh, nice pie in case I get peckish.
15:02And a couple of beers to wash it all around.
15:05What do you think you're doing?
15:07Just putting together a few bits for the pirate ship.
15:11You won't be going there tonight.
15:12But we agreed.
15:14It's far too crowded in here for all of us,
15:15so I volunteered to make some space for the rest of you.
15:18Well, not tonight.
15:20It's kind of you to be worried,
15:21but I don't mind doing it another night.
15:24I've slept in me van often enough.
15:26This isn't about you.
15:27We're talking about a family crisis here.
15:30Carl got beaten up today.
15:31What are we going to do about it?
15:33Well, do we need to do anything?
15:35He's got nothing broken.
15:37He'll probably be fine in the morning.
15:39When I were at school,
15:41lads used to punch each other all the time.
15:43Nobody even told their parents about it.
15:45Well, thank goodness those days are over.
15:47Well, they should be.
15:48They don't allow violence in schools anymore.
15:52Right.
15:53So what are we going to do?
15:59If it's against school rules,
16:01why don't we let the school handle it?
16:04Don't be ridiculous.
16:05Think about it.
16:07Dawn lives at Home Farm.
16:09So if she thinks things are going against Lucas,
16:11she'll winch to Kim about it.
16:13So?
16:13Well, Kim gave that big donation
16:15to the school's equipment fund.
16:16So they'll listen to her
16:17and suddenly it won't be Lucas' fault anymore.
16:20Would you really think it works like that?
16:22Surely they won't bow to Kim
16:23just because of some donation?
16:25Money talks, Jimmy.
16:26Always has, always will.
16:28We need a plan of action.
16:29Strike first.
16:32Tell me what you want us to do
16:34and I'll back you.
16:35I don't know yet.
16:37But we need to talk this through.
16:38All night, if we have to.
16:41Put those back.
16:43I'm not going to drop this, Charity.
16:49What did he mean by dodging a bullet?
16:51I don't know, do I?
16:52Ask him yourself if he's so worried.
16:54No, I'm asking you.
16:56Listen, you know what Ross is like.
16:57He's probably had a near miss on the ring road
16:59and he's...
17:00Well, you know what his awful driving's like.
17:02Don't try and fog me off, Charity.
17:04I'm going nowhere until you tell me.
17:07Hey, fine.
17:08If you must know,
17:09I fixed a paternity test
17:12saying that Ross isn't the father, OK?
17:15So now we can just all forget about it.
17:18So this was your grand plan, was it?
17:21I mean, how did you even do that?
17:22You can barely even turn a computer on.
17:24Well, maybe I got Ryan to help me.
17:26Oh, wow.
17:26It just gets better and better.
17:27He knows absolutely nothing about this, OK?
17:31What I've told him is that we've been dealing
17:32with a bit of tax paperwork.
17:34Look, I had to do something to get Ross to back off
17:37and it's worked.
17:38So now we can just all drop it.
17:40No, we can't drop it, Charity.
17:42If Sarah ever finds out the truth,
17:44then it's going to be even worse.
17:45But as far as Sarah knows,
17:46there's no problem right now.
17:47And there won't be
17:48unless you start putting ideas into red.
17:50Don't you dare put this on me.
17:53I was still hoping you were going to do the right thing,
17:55but I should have known
17:56because you only do whatever's right for yourself.
17:59What are you two rowing about?
18:03Well, is someone going to say something?
18:04It's nothing, sweetheart.
18:06Right, look, usually I wouldn't care
18:07about your stupid squabbles,
18:09but Gran's carrying my baby.
18:10I don't want her stressing out about anything.
18:11Sarah, I am fine.
18:13And Chelsea's right.
18:13Nothing for you to worry about, babe.
18:16I'm really sorry for stressing Charity out, really.
18:18I am.
18:19But sometimes she's really selfish and self-centred.
18:22With what?
18:22It's just the usual pub stuff.
18:29Honestly, nothing for you to worry about.
18:32Charity's absolutely right.
18:33And it's me.
18:34I've been really thoughtless.
18:35Again, just...
18:36She's got enough on her plate
18:37with what's going on with Liam
18:38and his prostate test, you know?
18:40Right, and that's it.
18:42Look, why don't I look after the bar for a while
18:44and you two can try and sort this out
18:46without fighting, please?
18:53I didn't lie for you.
18:55I lied to protect Sarah
18:57from knowing what you've been up to.
19:02Okay.
19:03Bye.
19:06Sorry about that.
19:07She wasn't going to stop calling
19:08until I answered.
19:09Talk about the bride from hell.
19:10What does she want?
19:11To tell me she's found the perfect venue.
19:15I'm not being funny, babe,
19:16but isn't that your job?
19:17Yeah, exactly.
19:18But mind up, pass muster.
19:20The husband, he's really chill,
19:22so that's fine.
19:23Anyway, how was that?
19:25Pretty good, you know.
19:26You're a really good cook.
19:29I've helped Marlon out,
19:30so I've learnt a few things.
19:31Maybe you can cook for me next time.
19:34Yeah, of course.
19:35As long as it's toast and jam.
19:36I'm pretty good at that.
19:37Are you okay?
19:47You seem a bit nervous.
19:50Yeah.
19:51Well, I don't want to be talking weddings
19:53and recipes all night.
19:56When I said that we've got the place to ourselves,
19:59I thought we could move things on a bit.
20:02Oh.
20:03Really?
20:05Well, we've been seeing each other for a while now.
20:08Yeah.
20:09I know, but...
20:11I don't want to push you until you're ready.
20:15I know what you went through with your husband.
20:18It's not just what I went through with my husband, though.
20:20It's my mental health issues as well.
20:23Yeah.
20:23And, again, I promise,
20:27I'm totally fine with all of that.
20:32I know you are.
20:34Because you're great.
20:35And I trust you.
20:38And I've been thinking a lot recently.
20:41And...
20:42I'm ready to take the next step.
20:44And I want that to be with you.
20:47Are you sure?
20:48Because, I mean, we can take it as slowly as you want.
20:54I don't want to take it slow anymore.
20:56I'm ready.
21:02Sorry for the misunderstanding.
21:04We're all good now, aren't we, Ches?
21:05Absolutely.
21:07Well, I think you owe me and Ryan a drink
21:09for all the worry you've caused.
21:10Of course.
21:11Usual coming up.
21:13Anyway, thanks, babe, for getting us through this.
21:16Yeah, that was just for sure.
21:19I still want you to try and make this right.
21:24Oh, well done.
21:25And you made peace between them, then?
21:28If you believe that, you'll believe anything.
21:30Hey.
21:31They're saying it's just pub stuff,
21:33but I know they're both lying.
21:34Whatever's going on between them,
21:35they don't want me to know.
21:37Well, I really do think it's just pub stuff.
21:41No, it's not.
21:41She isn't being honest with anyone at the moment.
21:44I need to find out what's going on.
21:46She can't go on keeping me in the dark.
