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!

17:26Hardly the most passionate kiss I've ever seen.
17:28That's marriage for you.
17:30Oi!
17:39Lydia?
17:40Hi.
17:41Right, there's a turkey crown in the fridge.
17:43I've peeled potatoes and parsnips, ready for roasting.
17:46And 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, but 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, so if you're expecting a grovelling apology, you can forget it.
18:24I 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, if tomorrow was a year since Sam's death, heaven forbid, I wouldn't want to spend it all sad and alone.
18:39Merry Christmas!
18:53Sir, 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, at his age, can he afford to hang about?
19:10It still seems iffy to me.
19:12Oh, we love each other.
19:14Yeah.
19:14Okay? Get 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.
19:25Go away, gran.
19:27I come in peace.
19:28I 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, I'm so proud of you.
19:46So, shall we do the honours?
19:51Belle!
19:52We're still having cake.
19:53Okay, Sarah, you 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.
20:13It's a girl!
20:15Yes!
20:20Oh, my God.
20:21Oh, no, is that good or bad?
20:23Oh, it's amazing.
20:24It's what we were hoping for.
20:28Hiya, it's only us.
20:30Come on.
20:34You all 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.
20:51Do you mind if we stay for a while?
20:54I keep thinking that Kev's gonna come after us.
20:56No, of course not.
20:57It's fine.
20:59You do know we wouldn't let Kev anywhere near either of you, though, don't you?
21:02No.
21:03Thanks.
21:03You already gave us a card.
21:09Oh, that's not from me.
21:10I found it downstairs on the map.
21:11What is it?
21:26Kev's weddingry.
21:27Is that a bullet?
21:40He's not gonna stop until he kills us.
21:41No, no, no.
21:42Yeah.
21:44I like it.
21:47I like it.
