00:04Oh, my God.
00:35It's Denise Fox.
00:38You've been waiting for my call.
00:42Homework, please.
00:44Forcing it out of Denise.
00:46In the middle of the flicking foot of the kiss.
00:48I wouldn't have done it if I...
00:49Sit. Breathe.
00:54I'll put the kettle on.
01:00I can message Amy if you want.
01:01Maybe we could all go over in a little bit.
01:03Kim, Jordan got hurt.
01:08So Denise felt she had to put her treatment off.
01:12Hold on, you knew.
01:16You should have told me, Yolandi.
01:19I know.
01:20I'm in...
01:22Well, I'm telling you, Libby.
01:23I'm telling you now.
01:42Okay, look.
01:42Denise has got acute myeloid leukemia.
01:47Okay, it's an aggressive blood cancer.
01:49Starts in the bone marrow.
01:51Is that why you've been so knackered?
01:54Yes.
01:57And that they wanted to start chemotherapy.
02:00Okay.
02:01Okay, good.
02:04Doctor sorted my mum out.
02:05This is an inpatient, though.
02:07It's going to be for a month.
02:10It's starting tomorrow.
02:11What?
02:13So you're going to have to stay at the hospital, nights and all?
02:16That's nearly half the summer holidays.
02:18Consultant says it's urgent, babe.
02:20Oh, my God.
02:22Are you going to die?
02:25Oh, so you decided to join us then, did you?
02:27Have you washed your hands?
02:31No.
02:32No.
02:33I am not.
02:34Come here.
02:36I am going to be around for a very, very long time.
02:41That is a promise.
02:43Okay?
02:44Okay.
02:46Look, hospital is nothing.
02:47It's just lying there while they give you some medicine.
02:51What I'm more bothered about is you lot staying on top of things
02:54while I'm out of action.
02:56Like having a shower every day, Raymond.
02:58Yes.
02:59Mm.
03:00And not ruining me carpets with your hockey boots.
03:02And not lying in the bed for the next four weeks staring at your phone.
03:07We were going to start yoga, weren't we?
03:09And you promised me that you were going to sort through that wardrobe.
03:12I'll do it.
03:13I'll start leaving my hockey boots at the back door.
03:15Yes.
03:16You will.
03:17You're all going to have to step it up a bit.
03:21So, I'm setting up a rota and I've made you a list of chores every day.
03:26Is it like them star charts she used to give me as a kid?
03:29She tried to do that with me and Nibby.
03:30Ah, no, though, because this one is on your phones.
03:35So, no one can accidentally add half a dozen stars on there, Ricky.
03:41Because it'll be shared and I'll be watching you.
03:44Now, you all need to download the app.
03:46I'll be sticking it on your iPad.
03:47Highest number of ticks wins a prize.
03:50What's a prize?
03:51Oh, that's a secret, but it'd be something brilliant.
03:54And you don't even stand a chance if you don't know how to work the washing machine.
03:59Jack.
04:00What?
04:01Come on.
04:02You shrink every jumper that you touch, don't you?
04:05I ain't got a pair of knickers.
04:07He hasn't turned pink.
04:08Really?
04:08You've never checked a pocket for a tissue in your life.
04:10Oh.
04:11Oh, right.
04:12Okay.
04:13Fine.
04:17Okay, so come on, let's make a start on these.
04:20Go on.
04:20While we wait for the spaghetti.
04:21Come on.
04:22An Anami scan could have helped his plan.
04:26That is it.
04:28That is the only thing I would have said if you'd given me a chance, Ben.
04:33Sorry.
04:35I'm sorry.
04:36Okay.
04:37And you're right.
04:39And you are so lovely.
04:42And I'm sorry.
04:44I think I'm just...
04:46She's the woman.
04:47And I'm just worried about Denise, I think, and my dad.
04:51Yeah, well, I said a thing I thought.
04:56I want to be there for you.
04:58Both of you.
05:00Not just part-time.
05:05Live with me.
05:07Just us.
05:08Us three.
05:10Our family.
05:13How do you fancy moving in together, Penny?
05:23Do we get a tickly visit?
05:25Depends if there's chocolate.
05:27Yeah?
05:29Look, I know that I've had more time with this.
05:34And this has come as a bit of a shock.
05:35But we're all right.
05:39Okay?
05:39We're all all right.
05:41You don't need to worry about us.
05:43We're all together, won't we?
05:46Good.
05:48Bath.
05:49Bed.
05:50No arguments.
05:51Come on.
05:52Teeth.
05:52Teeth.
05:53Teeth.
05:53You pack your P.E. kit.
05:55And if your phone needs charging, kitchen, please.
05:59Come on, life goes on.
06:01We've all got school in the morning.
06:06You've done good.
06:07We need to say, you don't have to do this tonight.
06:12Yes, I do.
06:14It's a risk of infection and all that.
06:19Can you warn the kids?
06:48Chelsea let me in.
06:51Sorry.
06:52Bad time.
06:54I'd better.
06:57Yeah, don't wake up, okay?
07:05Sorry to hear.
07:13We might want to talk.
07:18I'm pretty sure the football's on.
07:23The highlights, at least.
07:33I'm glad that you texted.
07:37But I've got everything set up with you.
07:43Thanks.
07:44Just give me a minute, okay?
07:49Okay.
07:50I'm sorry.
07:53I'm so sorry, Denise.
07:56Don't be nice to me, okay?
08:01Okay, I can do that.
08:08I just can't believe this is happening, Kim.
08:12It's like I want to wake up.
08:14I can't stop looking online.
08:16I keep going down rabbit holes.
08:20So I go into the hospital with cancer and then they lower my immune system, which, that's standard.
08:32But it just doesn't seem to make logical sense.
08:37Because it just all seems so brutal.
08:43I know.
08:47But you can't, you know, you can't always trust everything that you read on the internet, you know?
08:54I keep thinking.
08:56I know what the plan is.
09:00And Jackie just keeps pushing, pushing.
09:05But it's not his life.
09:08It's my life.
09:11There's still time.
09:14I could change my mind.
09:16I...
09:21I don't have to do this.
09:23Do I?
09:27So, I told Denise, you know, if you...
09:30We need any help, you know, picking up Ramis from school, that sort of thing.
09:34I'm just saying, you know, I'm a bat.
09:38I appreciate it.
09:39Oh, he's gone!
09:41Oh, he's gone!
09:43Come in.
09:44She ain't doing anything.
09:47I don't feel that bad now, though.
09:51I don't want to feel worse.
09:54And bald.
09:58Not even me eyelashes.
10:00I don't care if that sounds vain, because...
10:06This...
10:09It is...
10:11Well, it's the first step, isn't it?
10:17I don't want to lose all my hair, cute.
10:19Do you know how much...
10:22That might freak Raymond out?
10:26And Jack...
10:29What if he can't stand the sight?
10:36Well, you ain't done the menopause yet.
10:39Trust me.
10:41Hard enough to keep the spark.
10:44The...
10:44I'm throwing up.
10:49What if I just don't go?
10:53Just...
10:55Like...
10:56Stay...
10:57Home.
11:01Because no-one knows when they're going to go, do they?
11:04Where's the difference?
11:08Yes.
11:11We can.
11:12We could.
11:14It's your choice.
11:19I have to do the best, Kim.
11:28And the kids.
11:30I don't know what best it is.
11:34I...
11:36I'm only 57.
11:40There's so many things I haven't done yet.
11:42I...
11:42I...
11:42I don't know.
11:43I've never tried.
11:45I...
11:45No, I don't want to do this.
11:52I feel like...
11:56I'm standing at the edge of a cliff.
12:02Just so...
12:05Hopeless.
12:10What if I go into the hospital...
12:13And never come back out?
12:16Mm-hmm.
12:23I promise, Raymond.
12:30I could die.
12:34Couldn't I?
12:35Mm-hmm.
12:48I'm so scared.
12:52I'm so scared.
12:54I'm so...
13:01And...
13:05You're allowed to be.
13:07And so am I.
13:10But listen.
13:14I need you to know...
13:16You can always tell me the truth.
13:20And I will always be honest with you.
13:24Okay?
13:28This...
13:29This is a wobble, Dee.
13:33And you can put it off.
13:35You can put it off if you want.
13:36All that you want.
13:39But you know you don't really have a choice.
13:45You have to trust your consultant.
13:48Mm-hmm.
13:49Okay?
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:51And I promise you...
13:53I will buy you the most beautiful head wraps there is, yeah?
13:58And you will be known as the Nubian Queen of Walford.
14:02Yeah?
14:03Yeah.
14:04And then...
14:05I don't know.
14:06We can do something together.
14:09Mm-hmm.
14:09You know, we can...
14:10I don't know.
14:11Learn...
14:11Learn French.
14:13And go to France.
14:14And see the Monet.
14:18But if you don't want to be helpless...
14:22You have to do what they tell you to do.
14:26You have to.
14:32And I know that, um...
14:35You're the one that's going through this.
14:38But trust me...
14:42You are not alone.
14:47You're not alone, sis.
14:54And I promise you...
14:58If anything...
15:00If anything...
15:04I promise you...
15:07If anything...
15:08I will be a mum...
15:10To your kids.
15:13I promise you.
15:16Well, if that ain't motivation to get better, I don't know what is.
15:21You are so rude a bag out of water.
15:25You're rude.
15:30Okay.
15:32Ready?
15:37Okay, we've got this now, okay?
16:01I don't want a big fuss.
16:07I don't want anyone waiting for me off.
16:12I don't want anyone waiting for me to swim...
16:15No one's coming in.
16:20You do.
16:23I'm waiting for you to swim...
16:26I know people who...
16:29And I...
16:29Just trying to be kind.
16:31No one's coming in.
16:36And I believe...
16:38I don't want any pity and glances or anything like that.
17:00Hard enough getting my own head round.
17:09You are beautiful, Mum.
17:12Yeah.
17:21Yeah.
17:24Have you seen this new picture Raymond's done?
17:41So, are you gonna be okay getting the kids off to school this morning?
17:45It's just I know you've got a lot on your plate with Jordan.
17:47I'm fine.
17:48I've got this.
17:50And if Jordan needs extra physio then I'll do more shifts and get more cash.
18:11Mum!
18:12No way!
18:14Come in.
18:15Come in.
18:17You're in there, mate.
18:18What is...
18:19I've got to be gone now.
18:21Oh!
18:23Yeah, you just called us.
18:24Oh!
18:25I came as soon as I heard.
18:27Oh, darling.
18:28But you didn't have to do that.
18:29Not with your job and everything.
18:30No, no, no.
18:31I'm here for as long as you need me, Mum.
18:33Day.
18:34Yeah.
18:35Yeah.
18:35Will you, erm...
18:37Will you come first thing in the morning?
18:40Oh!
18:41Oh, my squiggle.
18:43Oh!
18:44You said I feel better already just having you at home.
18:48Oh!
18:51But you are part of this family now.
18:53Your nanny is all over the place.
18:54I just don't know what I'm supposed to say to her.
18:56Maybe I'll get her some flowers or something.
18:59Just...
19:00Don't want to get in the way.
19:04No!
19:05Oi!
19:06No, but you know what this text means.
19:08Negative for...
19:10That means Lauren can stop washing the towers every five minutes.
19:12Clear, Peter.
19:13NHS confirmation.
19:14That means nothing creeping, growing on, or rotting the crown jewels.
19:18You're an absolute catcher, aren't you?
19:20Yes.
19:20Yes.
19:21That's very astute of you to notice.
19:23And I'm not a super-spreader.
19:24Spread the word!
19:45What do you think of the monkeys?
19:47It's not important.
19:51I'm just letting you do something with the men.
19:52I've been like a boy.
19:52May I check my family on?
19:53I've been like a boy,
19:56How long?
19:56I've been like a boy.
19:57It's like a boy..
19:58What?
19:59I've been like a girl.
20:00It's nice.
20:01The two men go out.
20:01Can I check my boy out?
20:04I'll check my girl out.
20:08I'm just saying, you could have told me if you thought Mum was ill.
20:11Yes, yes. Only I didn't.
20:14So I couldn't.
20:15But you could have come home more than once if I hadn't checked for yourself.
20:18I have worked.
20:19Yes, we know you are very busy.
20:21You have a CBT event and you're working late
20:23and you're the only one who can deliver this very important project.
20:26I know I do my best.
20:28And now that I have Georgia, I...
20:29And I haven't.
20:32Why is it that ten minutes back here
20:34and I'm already feeling like I can't breathe?
20:36People grow up.
20:38They move on and move out.
20:41And it doesn't seem to matter how much I have done,
20:44I am straight back here and straight into being treated like I'm seven years old.
20:48That's not what I'm doing.
20:48I'm not like you.
20:49Or Mum.
20:50Or Aunty Kim.
20:52And, you know, I am really grateful for you giving up your bed,
20:55but long-term option, I don't want to be sleeping on Mum's sofa.
20:58And no, not because I'm a snob, but because it rips my neck.
21:01Can you just stop?
21:03Stop.
21:05My son is in hospital.
21:09And he might never walk again.
21:15And now Mum has left.
21:18And, yeah, OK.
21:21I should have noticed that she is sick.
21:25And I never...
21:28And I know that this is really, really selfish.
21:31But I can't...
21:35How am I going to cope...
21:41..if she's not here?
21:56So...
21:58Use the bell.
22:00You don't worry about bothering anyone.
22:02If something feels off, you press the bell.
22:12I'm going to be honest with you.
22:15The next four weeks are going to be extremely difficult.
22:19This ward will become your life.
22:22The chemotherapy we're starting is deliberately harsh.
22:25It has to be.
22:28It will destroy your bone marrow completely.
22:33You'll have no immune system at all.
22:35So a sore throat, a mouth ulcer, a little cut,
22:41the sort of things you normally ignore,
22:43could become very serious very quickly.
22:48You will be isolated.
22:51Visitors will be restricted.
22:54Staff will be coming in and out at all hours.
22:57We will try to give you time to rest, but it can be relentless.
23:03You will almost certainly require repeated blood and platelet transfusions.
23:10Bleeding and bruising, a common infection is expected.
23:15It's not unusual.
23:18Some patients end up in intensive care.
23:22That's not inevitable, but I do have to warn you.
23:29We are putting you through this, Denise, because it's your best chance of a cure.
23:36But it comes at a cost.
23:43So, you feel unwell?
23:46Or frightened or something simply doesn't feel right?
23:50Ring the bell. I got it.
23:52Can we start, please?
23:58From now, I will help.
24:00I've got some savings, not much.
24:02No, Libby, no.
24:03You do not want to be taking out loans.
24:05And how are you going to have the time to do more shifts?
24:08Jordan does need a wheelchair when he gets out,
24:11and you're going to want the best.
24:12And Patrick's bedroom will need to be set up.
24:14All of that's going to cost money, Gels.
24:19Gels?
24:22Okay, fine.
24:23Mum's had me set up that star chart thing, so I'll just put a message in there.
24:27Maybe somebody will know what the big secret is.
24:36Okay.
24:40I've got these letters.
24:43From Grey's family to Jordan.
24:47But I have, I've shoved them in a baby box.
24:51But they've been coming to the old house since he was born.
24:56Nicola's been passing them over.
25:01I think they're from Grey's nan.
25:06I've only opened one.
25:07Just one.
25:10It's a birthday card.
25:12You know what?
25:12Jordan can have the lot when he's 18, and he's old enough.
25:17Okay.
25:18The card had a check-in.
25:22For a grand.
25:25No, no.
25:26Please don't say it, because honestly, I can't.
25:29And I have not told anyone, Libby.
25:31And I know, I know what a thousand pounds could do.
25:34Even more now.
25:35And I know that Jordan needs it.
25:36And I know that there is blood.
25:38But I, I still get flashbacks.
25:43I, I can't have that man know anything about my son.
25:48Not even indirectly.
25:49Because Grey is evil, Libby.
25:53And I have to protect Jordan.
25:54I, I have to protect him, don't I?
25:58PHONE RINGS
25:59Minute.
26:01Hello? Yes?
26:03Yes, yes, it's Chelsea Fox.
26:06Is Jordan awake?
26:08Er, no, no, no, yes.
26:09No, I'll, I'll grab a pen.
26:11I'll grab a pen.
26:11Has his test results come back yet?
26:15Right here.
27:01You might be a bit cold, that's normal.
27:04Just let me know if anything is sharp or sore.
27:08If it stings, tell me straight away.
27:10Okay?
27:25You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
27:28Just breathe normally.
27:29You don't need to brace.
27:33I'll warn you, the pump beeps for no reason other than to make people jump.
27:38Okay.
27:40Good.
27:41I'll check back in 15.
27:44When, erm...
27:45When will I feel it?
27:47Day one's usually the easy day.
27:49Quiet part.
27:50It's a marathon, not a sprint.
27:52The drugs are just getting started.
27:54Is that your family?
27:58Sweet.
28:12Then I always live.
28:13Under.
28:13I fear.
28:14Waitabe!
28:14you can go.
