00:42I wasn't expecting any visitors. Hardly have I been here.
00:48Yeah. I'm not here for a catch-up. We need to talk about Sarah.
00:56See you later.
01:00Nicola, I didn't think you were working today.
01:04I needed to see Lewis about something.
01:06Right. Well, I'll just go.
01:09Why? I'm not going to turn down your business. I can't afford to.
01:13Lewis, customer.
01:18That doesn't sound too good.
01:19No. Fine. I'm just feeling a little bit under the weather.
01:24Oh, the gym wear's just for content.
01:27Wouldn't be better if you rested until you felt fitter.
01:30No, it'll be fine. Once I've had one of your strawberry smoothies, please, with added ginger. Good for the immunity.
01:37You don't look convinced. You know our bodies can heal themselves, right, with the right food and support.
01:43That's what Ross says about cheesy chips for a hangover.
01:46And Paddington with marmalade sandwiches.
01:48Anyway, I'm just... I'm waffling.
01:50Um, it won't be a sec.
01:53Listen, um, you don't fancy a drink tonight, do you?
01:57I imagine it's been pretty rough ending things with Vinny.
02:01If you're not up to it, it's fine. You know, I guess it's probably still pretty raw.
02:06Well, it's, um...
02:08It's more like...
02:10I don't think we can be friends anymore.
02:13Oh, right.
02:15Yeah, I... I... I can't not be Team Nicola.
02:21Really sorry, Gabby.
02:23It's fine, I understand.
02:30Hey, Gabby.
02:31How are you?
02:33Yeah, great.
02:34Glad to hear it.
02:36Um, listen, I don't suppose we could have another chat, could we?
02:38Listen, today's... today's actually not great.
02:40I... I'll grab me your... your smoothie.
02:43Thanks.
02:45Bye.
02:46Bye.
03:00Oh, dear.
03:01She's not a good face.
03:02No.
03:03I'm just worried about a patient.
03:06So what, you didn't think it was worth mentioning?
03:08And you can do us what's its secret besties.
03:11I had my...
03:13I had my reasons.
03:16Like what?
03:17Are you giving the game away when they pulled you in?
03:19To starters.
03:22I was working with Thea to get you off.
03:24She'd have been massively compromised.
03:27Yeah, I suppose that's a fair point.
03:30Sarah, on the other hand, was thrilled to find out.
03:33Seeing as she's threatening to throw both of us under the bus.
03:36If Thea doesn't get you off, she's not.
03:39Well, okay, yeah, that's...
03:40It's not ideal.
03:42Not ideal?
03:44If Sarah reports us, we could both...
03:46What?
03:47You could both end up in prison?
03:49Well, make sure they don't send you here, because it's bobbins.
03:52I need you to talk to Sarah.
03:55Well, that's going to be a bit tricky when she won't speak to me.
03:58Even Cain couldn't get through to her.
04:01Brilliant.
04:02Because as long as you're in here, Sarah's not going to let this go.
04:08I know Jimmy listened to Angel's playlist in his truck.
04:12He reckoned it's because he couldn't fathom his music app,
04:15but I think he secretly loved belting out Miley Cyrus.
04:20You could have Miley Cyrus.
04:23Best not.
04:25He probably wouldn't thank me for sharing that one.
04:28Have a think, then.
04:30Ask the kids what they'd like.
04:32Thought Kevin's lemon slice would go nicely with your cuppa.
04:36Thanks, Mum.
04:37Thanks.
04:38How are the children?
04:40Not great.
04:42It's Carl's 12th birthday tomorrow.
04:45What's that going to be like without his dad there?
04:47Tough, I imagine.
04:54So, anyway, what else is there to arrange beside the music?
05:00We haven't talked about the eulogy.
05:02I want you to do it.
05:05If, er, that's okay.
05:07Of course.
05:11Perhaps you'd like to say a few words alongside?
05:16Something more personal.
05:18It doesn't have to be long.
05:19Um, I mean, I guess I could write something and you could say it on my behalf.
05:27And that way I can focus on getting the kids through the service as best I can.
05:33You're a brilliant mother, Nicola.
05:35If anyone could get them through it, it's you.
05:39Obviously, they'll all be a part of the service, thanks to Carl's video tribute.
05:45Yeah.
05:46He has been working hard on it, bless him.
05:48It's lovely that he wants to do it.
05:50He's really proud of his dad.
05:53And all the happy family memories.
05:59Hopefully, glossing over all the times it's royally kicked off.
06:03I'm sure it's the same for most families.
06:06Nothing's ever perfect.
06:08Certainly wasn't with my Victor.
06:10So long as there's love, that's what matters.
06:19Sorry, um, what can I get for you?
06:21Um, I was looking for Nicola.
06:24Oh, er, she's gone to see Charles.
06:26Oh, it's a funeral.
06:27Oh, she'll probably have gone with her.
06:29Oh, well, too late now.
06:31I think I'll have an Americano while I'm waiting.
06:36Yeah, sure.
06:40Um.
06:42Are you okay?
06:44It's just, well, you haven't by any chance just had micro-needling, have you?
06:50What?
06:51Your skin, it's all, it's all red.
06:53That's, mine goes exactly the same after treatment, but it's so worth it, isn't it?
06:58Don't worry.
06:59Secret's safe with me.
07:00No, no, I haven't had micro-needling.
07:04I've just been crying in the toilet.
07:05Oh.
07:06My mistake.
07:11I ended up with Vinny.
07:14And, uh, we were supposed to be getting married.
07:18Oh, that's so sad.
07:19Yeah, then I had to friend up Gabby, because, you know, I saw the diarage for Nicola, because
07:22she knew about Vinny, and it's just, it's just, it's just all a mess, basically.
07:26Of course, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry.
07:31Did I ask for milk with my Americano?
07:35Um.
07:36Because I'd like some.
07:39Be a darling and bring it over, will you?
07:42And the, the skin, that's great.
07:44Okay.
07:48What, the charity's a?
07:49Oh, my God.
07:53Do you have to?
07:55Can't exactly chat out there, can we?
07:57Is she going to talk to her?
07:59Sarah won't speak to her.
08:02The grand she's so desperate to get off her murder charge.
08:05Prepared to stitch us up for.
08:07It's more complicated than that.
08:10Proper stubborn little nightmare, isn't she?
08:12Actually, she reminds me of you.
08:14Only younger.
08:15Guess we're screwed, though.
08:17I mean, looking at the positive side,
08:19you're always moaning about the antisocial hours.
08:21How shocking the canteen food is.
08:23No.
08:24She's not ruining this for me.
08:28Better spill the tea on your magical backup plan, then.
08:31Because I haven't got one.
08:33Well, at least it's my case.
08:35I have access to evidence.
08:47A bit early, isn't it?
08:48Yeah.
08:49There must not.
08:50In the Seychelles.
08:52Drink to the time zone you aspire to.
08:58That is what I say.
09:01Cheers.
09:03Cheers.
09:05So, have you decided what you're going to do about the funeral?
09:08You know, part of me thinks that I should be selfless and not go.
09:13I mean, there are a lot of people hurting and me being there, you know, rubbing Jimmy's love for me
09:19in their faces.
09:20I mean, you know, that can be painful.
09:23I suppose.
09:23Yeah, even that beautiful boy in the cafe, you know, wears the headphones.
09:29So, I had him crying on my shoulder earlier.
09:32In fact, he's finished with his boyfriend for causing Jimmy's accident and friend dumped Gabby because Nicola hates her.
09:40Gabby, hi.
09:42Gabby, hi.
09:42Is everything okay?
09:44Yeah.
09:44I was just coming to remind you that the kitchen's closing early today.
09:48So, if you did want to order food.
09:50Brilliant.
09:50Thanks.
09:51No, no, no.
09:51We won't be ordering any food.
09:53I'm going to be utterly ashamed and treat myself to a dirty burger in the pub.
10:06You bet you're working at front desk again.
10:09Staffing issues.
10:11Oh, lucky you.
10:13Don't suppose you know if Charity Dingle's interview's been transcribed yet.
10:17Let's have a look.
10:21Dingle.
10:22Charity.
10:25Don't look like it.
10:26Been a bit of a backlog lately.
10:29Staffing issues.
10:30Difficult.
10:31Hmm.
10:32You look right cheesed up.
10:33How long have you been on for?
10:35Too long.
10:36Right, go on.
10:37Go and grab a brew while I have.
10:38Chase this up and cover the desk.
10:39As long as you don't take the mech and leave me here.
10:41Are you sure?
10:43You're an angel.
10:54This interview is being audio recorded.
10:57I am Detective Sergeant Thea Ramson of Houghton Police.
11:00The date is Thursday, August 6th, 2026.
11:03And the time is 1700 hours.
11:08This interview is being audio recorded.
11:11I am Thea Ramson of Houghton Police.
11:14I am Thea Ramson of Houghton Police.
11:29I am Thea Ramson of Houghton Police.
11:40I am Thea Ramson of Houghton Police.
11:43How's it going?
11:45Good. Just picking the best photos of Dad and all of us.
11:51I take it these are the ones you've picked. Can I see?
11:57Oh, they are perfect, Carl. You've chosen some gorgeous ones.
12:02Yeah.
12:03Oh, I might just pocket this one, though.
12:06Me and Tati PJs with birds on a stair on Christmas morning.
12:14This one's my favourite. Dad was laughing so much he trumped. Can you remember?
12:20Yeah, I can.
12:23Are you okay, Mum?
12:26Yeah, I'm fine. I just forgot your dad ever had this much hair.
12:33Feeling stupidly nostalgic. Ignore me.
12:36It's alright.
12:38Why don't I make us a hot chocolate, eh?
12:41And then we can go through this box from the haulage yard.
12:44I saw some silly photos in here you might want to include.
12:47Sounds good.
13:00What's this keeper?
13:01What?
13:04Um...
13:04Oh, I'm...
13:07JK68, I'm not sure.
13:10Don't worry.
13:12I made this for Dad ages ago.
13:15Oh, did you?
13:16It's a lightsaber.
13:19Dad kept it.
13:21We were going to have a Star Wars marathon for our birthday.
13:24Dad said he wouldn't have to stay awake for the scary bits anymore.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Once I was 12.
13:30Meaning he could have a sneaky kip on the sofa next to you.
13:33Sounds like your Dad.
13:35It's going to be awful not having him there on my birthday.
13:39Oh, come here.
13:43It's going to be okay, darling.
13:46It's going to be okay.
13:47Shh.
13:52Sorry.
13:53Run that by me again.
13:55The file's corrupted.
13:56We can't use Charity Dingle's initial interview.
13:59But this is your case, Thea.
14:01You check the recording when the interview ends.
14:04That's basic day one stuff.
14:06I thought I had.
14:07And the backup file?
14:10That's corrupted too.
14:12Well, get on to IT.
14:13See if there's a way we can get it back.
14:15I already have.
14:17I can't do anything.
14:20We'll have to re-interview Charity Dingle.
14:22Although any half-decent solicitor
14:25will have her no comment her way through the whole thing.
14:28Why do you think I'm so annoyed we've lost it?
14:31Never mind, I look like a complete idiot.
14:34Well, I'll need to speak to the CPS.
14:36Although I doubt that they've touched the case with a barge pole now,
14:40given we've already got an unreliable witness in that granddaughter.
14:44I'm sorry.
14:45You and me both, Thea.
14:47I honestly expected more.
14:56How's Nicola doing, love?
14:57Oh, I think she's exhausted putting a brave face on for the kids.
15:01It's great that she's got you supporting her.
15:03Yeah, I mean, she was there for me when I lost Ashley.
15:07That's why I'm trying to compartmentalise the way she's treating Gabby.
15:10You know, trying to look at the picture.
15:12I'm sure she really appreciates it, right?
15:14Oh, definitely.
15:16Oh, excuse me.
15:18It's important you don't wear yourself out, Laurel.
15:21You spread yourself too thin.
15:23Sorry?
15:24It's such a lot to take on.
15:25And it must be difficult being caught between your stepdaughter and your best friend.
15:30If this is what I think it is, I'm still making time for AA.
15:34I'm okay.
15:35Oh, no, that's good.
15:36But I am talking about the family.
15:39You'll be pulled in all directions, but never feel like you can't reach out.
15:43Takes a village and all that.
15:44That or a living grandma, I am now an expert on revision tips,
15:49Pokemon cards and Dolly hairdressing.
15:51You're a marvel, Mary.
15:52I am, actually.
15:56Anyway, how's Gabby doing?
15:58She didn't look very well, a bit out of sorts the last time I saw her.
16:01Yeah, well, she's still got this terrible hacking coffin.
16:04She won't listen when I say she's got to look after herself.
16:06She's always so busy working on her content.
16:10Yeah, I did notice Clemmie and Dottie watching one of her posts yesterday.
16:14They seem glued.
16:16Taking it very seriously what they should and shouldn't eat.
16:18Really?
16:20Do you think I need a word?
16:22Well, it's never a bad idea to keep on top of these things.
16:26There's always new rabbit holes popping up on social media.
16:28You know how it is.
16:31Mampre, am I missing something here?
16:33Well, it's just that some of Gabby's lifestyle posts seem a little...
16:39intense.
16:45Hey.
16:46Alright?
16:50Take it, the 3D glasses are for Moses.
16:53Well, they're not for me.
16:57Sorry, sorry. I thought a comic might distract him for a little bit. He's missing his mum like crazy.
17:03Not that I told Charity that when she called yesterday.
17:06She's in a bit of a state too.
17:08Paul Kim must be all over the place.
17:10Especially finding out about Layla too.
17:13Yeah.
17:14It's all a bit of a mess, really.
17:16What is?
17:19All of it.
17:20Thea.
17:21Right, well, um, hopefully that'll be about to change,
17:24because I have made a deal with Ramsden.
17:26Well, at least I hope I have.
17:28Sorry, is that...
17:29is that the DS that's overseeing the case?
17:31She's called Thea.
17:33Turns out her and Serena sucked in her best friends.
17:35Couldn't let that bit of intel go to ways, could I?
17:38Sarah, what have you done?
17:43Here we are. I'm afraid they're after the Malbec.
17:46That's fine, I'll drink anything.
17:48Your Malbec, madame.
17:49Oh, I must have got the last one.
17:52Burger won't be long.
17:53Good.
17:56So, what are we talking about?
17:58Oh, we're just talking about Gabby, you know, what's going on with her.
18:01Yeah, she did seem a bit odd in the hide earlier.
18:04Yeah, well, I need to talk to her.
18:05Hmm.
18:07So, how's Carl?
18:09Dreading his birthday, the poor thing.
18:11I've left him sorting more photos with Angel.
18:14Whatever keeps him off Jimmy's laptop, right?
18:17Oh, what's on Jimmy's laptop?
18:19Well, Carl found his dad's messages and voice notes on it the other day.
18:24I didn't know you could do that.
18:26Neither did Jimmy, until Angel accidentally dropped his phone down a port-a-loo at least.
18:30Oh!
18:30Yeah, anyway, you can download the app on other devices.
18:35Access your messages.
18:37And did Carl listen to any of them?
18:40No.
18:41I stopped him before I had a chance to.
18:43Good.
18:44And what about you?
18:48No, surprisingly, I don't listen to them either.
18:51Of course not.
18:53Stupid question.
18:54Um, I could, er...
18:56I could delete the app for you off Jimmy's computer.
19:00You know, save you any more distress.
19:03I don't think you've done enough, don't you think, huh?
19:06I'm sure I can manage to delete it.
19:09I just wish I could delete all the ruined memories as easily.
19:14Shoot me for being proactive, but you said yourself Charity wouldn't survive a murder trial.
19:18And what if it backfires, blows up on your face?
19:20No, it won't. Look, it's gonna work.
19:22You mean it has to.
19:23For Layla's sake.
19:26Oh, hi, Serena.
19:31Still doing that, are we?
19:33Pretending like we're friends on the same side.
19:35We are, we all want Charity home, right?
19:38The difference being you don't care who you step on to get there.
19:41Is this something that you can cheer with the group?
19:44They know, okay?
19:46Great! Tell more people.
19:48Just tell us what happened.
19:52Thea did what Sarah asked.
19:53She sabotaged Charity's custody interview.
19:57So what's that made?
19:59It means that the case against her is pretty shaky.
20:03That's if Charity doesn't mess up when they re-interview her.
20:06So she's getting out.
20:08She's coming home.
20:10I was seeing as my oldest mate just put her career on the line.
20:13She better be.
20:22Gabby?
20:25Gabby?
20:27Gabby?
20:35Oh, Arthur, is Gabby there?
20:38Oh, no, no, I'm at the hide.
20:40I was hoping to catch her and talk through some money-saving ideas.
20:43But anyway, she's clearly closed early.
20:46But it's fine. I'll see you at home.
20:48Bye, love. Bye.
20:49Bye.
20:52Bye.
21:01Here we go on ping.
21:04Quiet!
21:12Hello.
21:13I don't know.
21:48I don't know.
