00:00Music
00:24We need to report Cat to the police
00:25I've explained this, he's not a threat to us anymore
00:28He's set fire to our trees, he's gonna smash my windscreen
00:30What happens if he follows us to meet Angela?
00:32He won't
00:33He's not gonna cause us any more grief
00:35And you honestly believe that?
00:37Hey! What time are you off to see Angela?
00:39There's no point going now
00:40Why not?
00:40But how can she trust that we'll look after Seb when his psycho ex waging a war of terror?
00:44I ain't got time for this, I'm gonna work
00:45Yeah, perfect, very maturely, just walk away from it all, yeah?
00:49He's gonna let Kev off the hook
00:50And you're playing right into his hands
00:52Kev's trying to tear the two of you apart and you're letting him
00:56So you think I should back down?
00:57Yes, I do
00:58Because today isn't about Kev or Ross, it's about Angela
01:02And proving that you can look after Seb if you want him back where he belongs
01:05So please, go and sort it out
01:17Ta-da!
01:18You look...amazing
01:26I do, don't I?
01:28I can't believe we're actually doing this
01:29People are gonna be so shocked
01:31Well yeah, that's when anyone turns up
01:32Maura and Chas are saying they can't come now, we've changed their time
01:35Grandad and Charity will be there
01:36And that's all that matters
01:40Sarah, this is honestly the happiest day of my life
01:42Me too
01:43Eric!
01:44What are you doing?
01:46Hurry up!
01:47What are you doing?
01:48I'll put this on
01:49I'll put this on
01:49I'll put this on
01:50I'll put this on
01:50I'll put this on
01:51I'll put it on, let me
01:52I'll put it on
01:53Eric
01:54What are you two doing here?
01:58We live here
02:00And what's with the soup?
02:01It's for this afternoon
02:02It's only a gender reveal party, you don't need to dress up
02:05Are you planning on making an effort?
02:07Yeah, once I get the chance
02:09I don't think they want us here
02:12Don't they?
02:14Right
02:15See you later
02:17Don't be late
02:19It was close
02:22Do you think they suspected anything?
02:24Who cares?
02:25Today's about you and me
02:27Lids, come on
02:39You've got to be there
02:40Moira and Chad have already bailed
02:42I'm sorry, I've got a million things to do before tomorrow
02:45Well, Sarah wants the whole family there
02:47Whole family where?
02:49Gender reveal party
02:50Very important to her
02:51Then she should have picked a better day
02:53I mean, who's got spare time on Christmas Eve?
02:55There's free booze
02:56Yes, that's why I'm definitely going
02:58Thank you, Sammy
02:59Spread the word
03:02You're any ones for a free beer, you, aren't you?
03:04Aye
03:05Money's tight
03:06And it always will be
03:07Especially now you've been written out of Kim's will
03:09Yeah, we've never had much cash
03:10But we've always got by
03:13Why are you making another trifle?
03:15That one's for Kim
03:17Oh right, so she sacks us and you're making her a dessert?
03:20Sam, we sacked ourselves after what we did
03:22And she's been having a really difficult time since the accident
03:25She's still my friend
03:27She don't think so
03:28She told you to get stuffed
03:30Yeah, well I never turn my back on those clothes to me
03:32Especially not at Christmas
03:35You'll be coming home wearing that trifle
03:37Maybe
03:39But at least I'll have tried
03:40Oh, come on
03:45No!
03:51Hello
03:52Problem?
03:53Yeah, my battery's flat
03:55Today of all days
03:56Well, why swaging?
03:58Well, I've got that meeting at the brewery, haven't I?
04:01Well, I can take you if you want
04:03Oh babe, no, you've been up since five
04:05Don't worry about it
04:06Look, there's Vanessa, I'll get her to take me
04:08Are you sure?
04:09Yeah, you get some rest
04:11Alright
04:12Cheers, mate
04:13You're a pal
04:21How am I a pal?
04:22Because I need to get to the clinic for those tests
04:24So you'll have to give me a lift
04:31Have to?
04:32Okay, fine, pretty please
04:34Are you gonna get a paternity test while you're there?
04:37No, because I don't need to
04:39Well, you do
04:40It's a strong chance this baby's Mackenzie's
04:42Do you know what, Vanessa?
04:43Forget it, I'll just
04:44I'll get a taxi, alright?
04:45I don't need you pecking my head right now
04:46Just
04:47If anyone asks, will you just say
04:49That you gave me a lift to the brewery?
04:51It's a big record and I should apologise
04:52And you agree with her?
04:54I think I should apologise.
05:16And you agree with her?
05:18I just want Kev out of our lives.
05:21Yeah, so do I.
05:24We could report him, but that would mean spending Christmas Eve at a police station giving statements.
05:30Wouldn't you rather meet up with Angela?
05:32Show what a great couple we are.
05:35I need to put it like that.
05:36Yeah.
05:38Kev's passed.
05:40Right, he's not in our lives anymore.
05:44The future is me, you and Seb.
05:48What was that?
05:49Get down, get down.
05:54I hear you and your lot have moved into one of the cottages on Home Farmers Day.
06:04Was that Kim's idea or yours?
06:06I assume she won't be joining in your engagement celebrations.
06:10Who's getting engaged?
06:12Him and Dawn.
06:13I thought she turned you down.
06:14No.
06:15That was yesterday, Jimmy.
06:17Try and keep up.
06:18How's Kim doing?
06:19Your guess is as good as mine.
06:24Oh, he's not giving away much.
06:27There you are.
06:28Good.
06:30So, how's your dad and Rona?
06:34How do you think?
06:35They can't afford to keep forking out thousands of pounds a week.
06:38Think of it as their way of sharing how much they love you.
06:41OK, fine, you win.
06:47I'll start working for you again, as long as you agree to leave them alone.
06:50April, you don't call the shots, you know that.
06:56How's Dylan?
06:57I understand he could be discharged imminently.
07:00Do hope he's going to behave himself.
07:02Well, he's not going to say anything if that's what you're worried about.
07:04I'm not remotely worried.
07:07Ray and I will be gone soon.
07:08Pasture's new, literally.
07:09It doesn't pay to loiter in one place for too long.
07:14So we won't be seeing you anymore?
07:16Well, you will, obviously.
07:19You will be coming with us.
07:23What's going on?
07:24What's happened?
07:25Kev tried to kill us.
07:27What?
07:28Yeah, we were in a field and we were shot at.
07:31And it was definitely Kev?
07:32This would never have happened if you'd have called the police yesterday.
07:34Well, police tell me that you've called them now.
07:36Yeah, obviously.
07:37We still need to stay inside with the doors locked until they get here.
07:40And what about Angela?
07:42Well, Kev might follow us to the meeting and go after her.
07:45So we're just going to have to put it off until they find him.
07:47You could find so many other kids that would do what I do.
07:53Oh, don't underestimate yourself, April.
07:56You are a very talented young woman and I promise you, in a few years' time, you'll be a very rich young woman.
08:03I'll be a drug dealer.
08:05Well, we already are.
08:10But I'll not go to the police if I disappear.
08:12I'm not suggesting you disappear.
08:14You will explain to your father that you are leaving of your own free will and he must respect that.
08:20I don't know.
08:21OK, well, you have a little think about it and let me know tomorrow.
08:30Well, tomorrow's Christmas Day.
08:32What difference does that make?
08:33Sarah, this is Anton and Tilda.
08:41Hi.
08:42They're going to be our witnesses.
08:43They're up next after us and we've agreed to return for you.
08:46Thank you so much.
08:47This is so exciting.
08:50Oh, looks like you need these.
08:51Oh, thank you.
08:54You all right?
08:56Are we doing the right thing?
08:58What, you're having doubts?
09:00No, I just...
09:01I didn't think it'd be this nerve-wracking.
09:03It's good nerves, though, right?
09:05Yeah.
09:06You ready?
09:07Yeah.
09:12Oh, thank you.
09:14Wow, wow.
09:15Congratulations.
09:21Congratulations.
09:22Thanks.
09:24Grandad?
09:26Is that a wedding ring?
09:29Um, surprise.
09:33You've married Kerry.
09:45You just let me explain.
09:47She's wearing a wedding ring.
09:49What's there to explain?
09:50This is purely a financial arrangement.
09:53Why are you giving money to Kerry?
09:54No, no, no, no.
09:55He's not.
09:56He's not.
09:56I'm just keeping it safe.
09:58What are you talking about?
09:58Anyway, never mind you having a go at us.
10:01What are you two doing sneaking around a registry office all bright and groom?
10:05Honestly, Jacob, how could you?
10:09Your wedding day is a big event which should have all the trimmings.
10:13It was supposed to be.
10:15Was it?
10:15Yeah, we were going to get everyone to the pub and then bring them here for this surprise
10:19wedding.
10:20Oh.
10:21But you lied to me.
10:22Said that you had some important meeting when you made out that you weren't even available.
10:26I would have made myself available had I known that you were getting married.
10:31You should have told me.
10:32Well, we're all here now, aren't we?
10:34So why don't we just crack on and make it a big double celebration?
10:38No.
10:39You can forget it.
10:40I did this for you.
10:42And you've gone behind my back, excuse me.
10:47Sorry, I'm going to have to...
10:48You look absolutely gorge, by the way.
10:55Are we doing this?
10:56I can't, I don't know.
10:59It's OK, we'll come back another time, do it properly.
11:03I'm so sorry.
11:04Don't worry.
11:06Would you like to come through?
11:10I think we're going to need them.
11:15We've done a full sweep of the area.
11:17Whoever was out there has gone now.
11:18Well, if Kev comes back...
11:20He's trying to kill us.
11:21Did you actually see Mr Townsend?
11:23No.
11:24We didn't see anyone.
11:25Who else could it be?
11:26Well, there's been a lot of poachers recently.
11:28They've been talked in local farms and estates.
11:30It's not poachers, it's Kev.
11:31You need to find him.
11:32We're already looking for Mr Townsend.
11:34It's only a matter of time now until we track him down.
11:36Meanwhile, he's free to take pop shots at us, is he?
11:38Look, can you actually prove they defied the shots?
11:41Useless.
11:42He's doing all he can.
11:43Look, we'll investigate this thoroughly.
11:45Patrol the village for the rest of the day.
11:47Just try not to worry.
11:49It's easier said than done and all.
11:51I'll let myself out.
11:56Erm, sorry, why is there a police car in the village?
11:58Is there?
11:59Yeah.
12:00I hope it's not down to any of you lot.
12:03Last thing I need right now is...
12:04...anyone getting arrested at my granddaughter's gender reveal party.
12:07As if.
12:09How was the meeting?
12:10Oh, fine, babe.
12:11Same old boring.
12:12More free bubbly?
12:14Don't mind if I do.
12:15Right, Sam.
12:16I thought you were more of a beer drinker.
12:18Hey, I'll drink out if it costs out.
12:21Man after my own heart.
12:23Noah, why are we giving away champagne?
12:25Because Bob told me, then.
12:26It's all covered.
12:27Courtesy of Eric.
12:29Bye.
12:30So, anyway, where are Sarah and Jacob?
12:31I must have got to get here on time.
12:33Yeah, Eric, can you call your grandson?
12:35Tell him to get his skates on.
12:36OK.
12:39Tell me he'll pick up.
12:41Do you think I ever reacted?
12:43Do you?
12:46It was a shock, them getting married behind my back.
12:49Hmm.
12:50Jacob will be fine, man.
12:51He'll be giddy, cos he's married.
12:52Will he?
12:54I know I am.
12:56Mrs Pollard V.
12:59Six, actually.
13:00Oh, it's all very Henry VIII.
13:04Hopefully, you saved the best till last.
13:10Eric, I'm joking.
13:11I know nobody would ever replace your valerie with them.
13:16Oh, finally!
13:17OK.
13:18Er, please allow me to introduce...
13:22The newly married couple.
13:26Woo!
13:28Woo!
13:28What?
13:30So, is it a boy or a girl?
13:32Try and keep up, eh?
13:34You married?
13:36Surprise!
13:37Well, it's certainly news to me and your grandad.
13:39Yeah, well, you would have known about it if you hadn't been so difficult.
13:41Sorry, how is any of this my fault?
13:43Well, it doesn't matter anyway, because we didn't go through with it.
13:45Why not?
13:46Ask him and Kerry, his new wife, who beat us to the altar.
13:53Oh, that's a joke, right?
14:00What?
14:07What are you doing here?
14:09Christmas cards.
14:11From Evan.
14:13And from Clermy.
14:14And from Lucas.
14:16Any excuse to try and worm your way back in?
14:21Come on, Kim.
14:23It's Christmas.
14:25Oh, and Dawn, she wanted to invite you to dinner tomorrow.
14:30She wants to celebrate our engagement.
14:34Feel free to congratulate me.
14:36I'm busy tomorrow.
14:39You can pretend like you don't care, but we saw you watching us yesterday.
14:42At least come for the sake of the grandkids.
14:47They're not mine.
14:49They are when it suits you.
14:51It's cruel to disown them.
14:52It's cruel to disown them.
14:53They've done nothing wrong.
14:55Well, you should have thought about that before you moved out.
14:57You question my loyalty.
14:59How are we supposed to regain trust if you won't talk to me?
15:04Are you still here?
15:05Yeah.
15:05OK.
15:09The invite's there if you want it.
15:11I won't.
15:12So, this isn't a wind-up?
15:16Read it and weep.
15:18What's going on?
15:20Her and Eric have just got wed.
15:25Behave!
15:26Eh, it's true.
15:27I've never, never been happy, yeah.
15:29Ew.
15:31I thought you'd be happy for us.
15:34We are.
15:35Hardly.
15:36I've been stressed out all day and this is just the icing on the cake.
15:38Stressed out about what?
15:39Hang on, is everything OK with the baby?
15:41Don't chase the subject, young lady.
15:43How could you do this to me?
15:44I think you're going to back me up here, Cain.
15:46If it's what they want.
15:47I don't care what they want.
15:49Do you know what?
15:49After everything I've done for you.
15:51Don't have a go at me.
15:52We wanted you at the wedding.
15:53You're the one that kept saying you were too busy.
15:54Yeah, because I thought it was just some gender reveal party.
15:57And this was the excuse to get everyone together.
15:59Right, well cheers for the heads up, Belle.
16:00Oh, typical Grant.
16:02Just blame everyone but yourself.
16:03Look, I'm sorry if you don't like it,
16:05but we didn't even get married in the end,
16:06so I don't know what you're complaining about.
16:08And do you know what you think you're hard done by?
16:09At least you didn't get beaten to the altar by them two
16:11and their sham wedding.
16:13Sarah.
16:15Nice one, Charity.
16:17Erm.
16:18Can I have a word?
16:19Get lost, Grandad.
16:23Oh, good views.
16:24So, so who's married and who's not?
16:27Just keep your head down and it's so popular.
16:29£4.50 please.
16:30Sam!
16:31Aye?
16:31Sorry, he's only paying for the shampers.
16:34Kerry.
16:35What did Sarah mean by sham wedding?
16:38She's just upset because we upstaged her.
16:41This is 100% genuine.
16:44I love Eric to bits.
16:46It's like a dad to us.
16:48Who marries the dad?
16:50Kerry and I have grown close
16:52since she started to look after me.
16:56Hey, it's not a crime, is it?
16:58It should be.
16:58All right, well,
17:00if they're in love,
17:01let's leave them both to it.
17:04Are you going to kiss your bride then, Eric?
17:05Oh, no, we don't kiss in public.
17:07Well, I know he's not that hideous.
17:11Kiss.
17:11Kiss.
17:12Kiss.
17:13Kiss.
17:14Kiss.
17:14Kiss.
17:15Kiss.
17:15Kiss.
17:16Kiss.
17:16Kiss.
17:17Kiss.
17:17Kiss.
17:17Kiss.
17:17Kiss.
17:18Kiss.
17:18Kiss.
17:19Kiss.
17:19Kiss.
17:19Kiss.
17:19Hardly the most passionate kids I've ever seen.
17:28That's marriage for you.
17:39Lydia?
17:40Hi.
17:41Right, there's a turkey crown in the fridge.
17:43I've peeled potatoes and parsnips ready for roasting
17:45and a piece de resistance, my homemade prize-winning sherry trifle.
17:51OK, I haven't won any prizes, but people always woof it down.
17:54Do I look like I want charity?
17:56I was talking about charity. You cancelled your shop.
17:59I can't let you starve over Christmas.
18:02You owe me £33.37. There's no rush whenever you're ready.
18:10You ungrateful mare!
18:13Yes, fine, me and Sam were out of order by organising that shoot,
18:16but you have done far worse in your time.
18:18There's a million and one good reasons why most of my family ate your guts,
18:21so if you're expecting a grovelling apology, you can forget it.
18:25I want nothing from you.
18:27And I want nothing more from you.
18:30Do you know, it's such a waste of energy feeling sorry for you,
18:33but I tell you something,
18:34if tomorrow was a year since Sam's death, heaven forbid,
18:37I wouldn't want to spend it all sad and alone.
18:40Merry Christmas!
18:41Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are.
18:55Sir, who proposed to who, then?
18:57Did she coerce you into this?
18:59Old men can be very vulnerable.
19:01Hey, I'm not senile.
19:03Yet.
19:04It is very sudden.
19:06Then again, senile or not,
19:08at his age, can he afford to hang about?
19:10No, it still seems iffy to me.
19:12Oh, we love each other.
19:14Yeah.
19:14Okay?
19:15Get over it.
19:18You should tell everyone the truth.
19:21No, you can't do that to your granddaddy.
19:22He's really now a big day.
19:24Well, not just him.
19:24Go away, gran.
19:27I come in peace.
19:29I think I went a bit over the top.
19:31Will you forgive me?
19:32We just wanted you to be happy for us.
19:34And I am!
19:35I just wish you'd have let me in on your little secret.
19:38I'd have dropped everything if I'd known it was your big day.
19:41But the bigger picture is,
19:43I'm so proud of you.
19:44So,
19:47shall we do the honours?
19:51Belle?
19:52We're still having cake.
19:54Okay, Sarah.
19:56You cut the first slice.
19:58If it's pink, it's baby girl.
19:59If it's blue, it's baby boy.
20:01That's a bit sexist.
20:02Someone shut her up.
20:07Come on, then.
20:07Don't leave us all hanging.
20:08It's a girl!
20:15Yes!
20:16Woo!
20:17Yay!
20:20Oh, my God.
20:22Oh, no, is that good or bad?
20:23Oh, it's amazing.
20:24It's what we were hoping for.
20:26Aw!
20:28Hiya, it's only us.
20:30Come on.
20:34All right, Harry?
20:35Shouldn't you be in bed, son?
20:36Well, I put him to bed hours ago.
20:39I'm not tired.
20:40So I'm relying on you two to wear him out.
20:42Go sit down for me.
20:43We'll do our best, but, er...
20:45As long as you feel safe being here.
20:48Full disclosure,
20:49I'll feel safer here than I do at home.
20:52Do you mind if we stay for a while?
20:54I keep thinking that Kev's gonna come after us.
20:56No, of course not. It's fine.
20:58You do know we wouldn't let Kev anywhere near either of you, though, don't you?
21:02No.
21:03Thanks.
21:05Bye.
21:06You already gave us a card.
21:09Oh, that's not from me.
21:10I found it downstairs on the map.
21:24What is that?
21:26Kev's wedding ring.
21:27Is that a bullet?
