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