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
