00:00 We're in this together. Me and you, yeah?
00:02 Do you wanna go up to my room?
00:04 Yeah, if it's what you want.
00:05 Joel, you've got type 1 diabetes.
00:08 I can be with you when you tell Warren and Leela if you like.
00:10 No. No way, not happening.
00:12 I was wondering if you need my help organising anything for the funeral.
00:15 I don't need help from anyone, thanks.
00:17 Has something happened?
00:17 Yeah. My girlfriend died.

01:30 [Music]
01:32 Hey.
01:34 Got your text?
01:36 Yeah, I just wanted to check in here, see how you were today.
01:39 Oh.
01:41 Today's gonna be tough.
01:43 Yeah, it'll be alright.
01:45 [Music]
01:47 [Music]
01:49 [Music]
01:51 How about the other night, you know, when we were...
01:54 Oh, come on, action stations, you two. It's nearly a week till prom.
01:58 [Music]
02:00 [Music]
02:02 So, not ready for today.
02:04 Well, I'm sure getting a better night's sleep would have helped.
02:08 I still don't understand why you didn't come to bed.
02:12 Unless kissing Perry the other day wasn't enough for you.
02:17 We just fell asleep on the same sofa, that's all.
02:22 I know, funny jokey.
02:24 Sorry, it was, um, it was my fault.
02:28 I just wanted to go over our eulogies again and double check the plans for today.
02:32 Yeah, they're all sorted.
02:35 We'll say goodbye in the church and then bury her outside.
02:39 Just like she wanted.
02:45 Yeah.
02:47 I still don't think my bit of the eulogy's right, though.
02:50 And if I let Juliet down today, I'll never forgive myself.
02:53 Well, I'm sure Romeo will smash his section.
02:57 If there's anything I can do to help...
03:02 Um, yeah. Actually, can you text everyone?
03:05 And remind them to wear what they want today.
03:07 Jules won't want them being morbid dressed in black.
03:10 Oh, no.
03:13 What?
03:15 Nothing. Dad just wants some help with some things for later.
03:20 Can't stress. Today's gonna be fine.
03:25 I mean, Pez is strong.
03:30 She's had to be with the life she's had.
03:33 But is she strong enough for this?
03:35 Shouldn't surprise you.
03:37 Well, you know, I've seen some pretty heartbreaking stuff working in the fire service.
03:42 Seen some pretty heroic stuff, too.
03:45 But burying the love of your life at 23 years old, that is right up there.
03:50 Yeah, um, I remember she's, um...
03:54 She won't be alone. You'll be with her.
03:56 No, we won't.
03:58 Look, Joe, you're not coming.
04:01 I'm taking you home and tucking you up in bed.
04:03 We've spoken about this already, Leela. I don't need taken care of. I'm fine.
04:06 Listen, I don't want to be at this funeral, worried about you and Pez.
04:10 Yeah, I'll skip it. I just...
04:12 I don't need tucking up in bed. I think I just need some fresh air.
04:15 In fact, I think I'm gonna go and do some circuit training.
04:18 - What? - Just tell Peri I'm thinking of her, OK?
04:21 It doesn't fit.
04:32 It's a mourning dress that suits the gravity of the occasion.
04:34 That's all that matters. But no-one's gonna judge you.
04:37 I'm gonna judge myself.
04:39 Yeah, I know the feeling.
04:41 I was literally honeymooning in Hoyers while Juliet had days to live.
04:45 Ah, there it is.
04:47 The point is, I couldn't save Juliet.
04:50 But I can give her a fitting send-off.
04:53 Today has to be perfect.
04:55 What's the text about, Dad?
04:59 Oh, it's just funeral plans.
05:01 Look, I couldn't sleep last night, and then I realised why.
05:04 I haven't done everything in my power to give Juliet
05:07 the decorous send-off she deserves.
05:09 No, me and Peri already sorted everything exactly how she would have wanted it.
05:12 And now you're talking about a funeral march, a trumpet at play in the last post,
05:15 everyone dressed in mourning, wearing black.
05:17 Don't need to panic. I hired your suit. It's hanging in my bedroom.
05:20 I don't want to wear a suit.
05:22 It's Juliet's funeral. We have to do this properly.
05:24 Juliet wouldn't have wanted any of this.
05:26 Juliet didn't know what she wanted.
05:28 She didn't know what a proper funeral even looked like. But I do.
05:31 And I want this to be a final gift to my sister.
05:33 Peri's already stressed about doing the eulogy, about doing Juliet justice,
05:36 and now today's going to turn into some sort of depressing grief-fest.
05:39 Wait, sorry, are you saying that I'm not doing Juliet justice?
05:41 Are you saying that I'm not?
05:43 Stop it, please, both of you! Please stop fighting.
05:46 I can't do this. Not today.
05:49 Look, you heard your mum. Go on. Put the suit on.
05:52 Fine.
06:03 How must Peri be feeling this morning?
06:06 I can't imagine.
06:08 PHONE RINGS
06:10 Looks like someone's got something to smile about.
06:15 Oh, sorry. It's, um...
06:17 It's the night, I think.
06:19 At daylight today, we need good stuff to hold on to.
06:22 Yeah, when I need carbs, I always get proper Peckis at church.
06:25 There's never any snacks.
06:27 True. Vicka's always concentrating on prayers rather than pretzels.
06:31 Yeah. What's that about?
06:33 I've got to go find Raine.
06:37 Right here, Lace.
06:40 So, um, what's going on with all the posts?
06:50 I'm paying tribute to Juliet.
06:52 Right, but your Lord of them might come across as a bit tasteless.
06:57 Let me get this straight.
06:59 You're sagging off my posts while I'm just trying to get my boyfriend through his sister's funeral?
07:03 Even though I caught him sleeping on the couch with Peri this morning?
07:06 Not this much jealousy again.
07:08 They made a mistake. They're mates.
07:11 And it's not an excuse, all of these posts.
07:14 Enough, Lace, OK? I'm already struggling today as it is,
07:17 and you of all people should know why.
07:19 What?
07:21 Yeah.
07:23 And...
07:25 seeing Peri burying her partner just...
07:29 it's triggering me, OK?
07:31 I'll be any other way.
07:33 Yeah. Be careful.
07:37 All right? I'm guessing Dad told you about the funeral.
07:45 That's why I'm here.
07:47 See if Peri's OK. I haven't actually spoke to her yet.
07:51 Have you checked Raine's post out today?
07:53 Quite full on.
07:55 No, Mum just has. She's fuming.
07:58 Erm...
08:00 What are you guys wearing?
08:04 Dad...
08:06 Dad's changed the plans.
08:09 All in black. Organ music. The whole shebang.
08:14 So change it back?
08:17 Cos I'm not dressing like some Victorian maid.
08:20 I'm wearing what I wore the first time me and Jules said I love you.
08:23 On New Year's Eve, right here in this house.
08:26 I tried to make him change his mind, but he's in one of those moods.
08:29 Stubborn.
08:31 He won't budge.
08:33 And Mum, she... she can't handle us arguing, so I...
08:36 I was just thinking if we...
08:38 if we go along with it, then it'll save today
08:41 turning into a competition of who loved Juliet the most.
08:44 I did.
08:46 I loved her the most.
08:48 And if we just start ignoring who she was, what she wanted, especially today...
08:53 It's like we're just forgetting her already.
08:55 She was my sister, Perry.
08:57 I'm never gonna forget her.
08:59 Yeah, well, everyone else is just coming as they are, so...
09:01 No. They're not.
09:04 Unless she's them.
09:06 You know what I've been so worried about today?
09:12 Worried that I might not even get through it.
09:15 But knowing you and me were gonna do it together, that was giving me the strength.
09:18 And now I feel like you're just turning your back on me, taking it all away.
09:21 Come on, Perry, don't say that.
09:23 You know what, Romeo?
09:25 You do you.
09:27 Wear what you want, do what you want.
09:29 But I am not changing my mind.
09:31 [MUSIC]
09:47 Next up on the runway, Shing-Lynn is wearing a beautiful blue number.
09:51 Just check out that stunning silhouette.
09:53 [MUSIC]
09:56 I still don't know why we're doing this.
09:58 Well, I'm going to promise being Vicky Strong forever.
10:01 So I thought to make the experience good for her,
10:03 starting with a runway run-through of all the best outfits for the big night.
10:07 Oh, now that is the strut of a true superstar.
10:11 And that dress?
10:13 You said you wanted to talk about the other night?
10:19 Um...
10:21 Not now.
10:23 Spin.
10:25 I was right, that dress was literally made for you.
10:28 You're so nice. Come on, get changed. Get up here.
10:31 Okay, give me a sec.
10:33 So, what do we think about the dress?
10:38 Is it good enough for our first gig?
10:40 Yeah. Yeah, sure.
10:42 When are we going to get to see your daughter from?
10:44 Oh, yeah, come on. Let's see what you've got.
10:47 They're my aunt Cindy's.
10:49 Ah.
10:53 Well, she's a grown woman, isn't she?
10:55 She can flash as much flesh as she wants, and with these,
10:58 she's going to be flashing everything she's got.
11:00 No, I don't think these are suitable for you at all.
11:03 Um, I'll get her to buy me something new.
11:06 Help take her mind off Grace and Zara not being around any more.
11:09 Yeah. Are you sure you can afford that?
11:12 Yes, I am, actually.
11:15 # Whatever you do
11:17 # Yeah, yeah... #
11:19 Whit, you're here, but there's no...
11:29 Perry.
11:31 I'm joking. How's it going?
11:34 Bad.
11:36 Need my help? What can I do?
11:38 Yeah, I could actually use your help with something.
11:42 What's this?
11:44 The social media account of one of Britain's brightest young influencers.
11:48 No, I mean the posts.
11:50 Oh, it's my tribute to Juliet. Have you watched them?
11:54 I talk about how much Juliet meant to me,
11:57 how it's been really hard losing her,
12:00 how I'm using her memory to inspire me for even bigger and better things.
12:04 Yeah, you're doing exactly that.
12:06 You're using her on the day of her funeral.
12:08 My mum is freaking out, my family is seriously offended.
12:11 What are you doing? I don't understand. I'm doing a good thing.
12:14 You don't get it. You don't get any of it.
12:17 Look, I can't deal with this today.
12:19 Yeah, of course you can't.
12:21 And if this is really a problem, OK, we can talk about it later,
12:24 but right now you need to focus on Juliet.
12:27 Now, I'm going to livestream the eulogy.
12:32 I just... I don't know where to sit for my best angle.
12:36 Are you joking?
12:38 You haven't listened to a single thing I've said, have you?
12:40 Don't stress. I'll only do a little intro for my followers
12:43 and the rest of the eulogy will be on you, OK?
12:45 It'll be like a timeline takeover.
12:47 You know what, I think it's probably best if you don't come to the funeral.
12:50 My life, my relationship with you,
12:52 I feel like I'm living every single second of it in public.
12:55 I can't do this.
12:57 The funeral's already turned out to be a car crash.
12:59 I need to focus on that.
13:01 And me. How I feel, does that even matter?
13:04 I'm burying my little sister in a few hours.
13:08 Please don't make this about you, Ray.
13:12 I could have helped out today.
13:21 I do know a thing or two about funerals, you know.
13:24 I'm pretty sure the Nightingales have got everything under control.
13:28 Poor fella, eh?
13:30 Oh, let me guess. Sharon.
13:33 Do you know, someone needs to teach that girl the concept of playing hard to get.
13:37 And I think someone needs to teach you the concept of butting out.
13:40 Well, look, I've already had my life messed around by one weirdo
13:43 in the form of Grace Black,
13:45 and I really don't have the time or patience to deal with another one.
13:48 Well, Sharon is not a weirdo.
13:51 All right, son? Shouldn't you be resting up?
13:54 Yeah, sleep was a blip. I'm fine now.
13:57 If you say so. Come on.
13:59 Come on.
14:01 You still haven't told them?
14:06 It's none of your business.
14:08 Your health is my business.
14:10 I'm taking care of it. Thank you.
14:12 What, by working out a day after getting a diagnosis for diabetes?
14:16 Will you please just keep your voice down?
14:18 All right? I'm allowed to work out.
14:20 If you're looking after your glucose levels,
14:22 that's why you tell family,
14:24 so they can help you stick with the programme instead of living in denial.
14:28 It's my call.
14:29 And you can't say a word to anyone about that.
14:31 I told you, I'm not going to break patient confidentiality,
14:34 but please don't stick your head in the sand.
14:37 Your life has got to change.
14:39 You're right.
14:40 It does.
14:43 I forgot.
14:51 I forgot I was going to see you again today.
14:56 And that thing...
14:58 It's not right, any of it.
15:01 I miss you so much.
15:06 Are you all right, Mum?
15:17 Yeah, I will be.
15:19 Just as long as you're with me in that church.
15:21 Yeah, of course.
15:23 You're all I've got.
15:25 This is all wrong. Juliet didn't want any of this.
15:28 She didn't know what she wanted.
15:30 She was 20 years old and she was dying.
15:33 So what gives you the right to decide for her?
15:35 I am her brother.
15:36 I was her everything.
15:37 You didn't own her, Perry. You never did.
15:39 Dad, come on.
15:41 I'm sorry, but Juliet was her own woman.
15:43 We were all part of her life. We were her family.
15:46 We should get to say how we say goodbye.
15:48 James, seriously?
15:49 No, Steve. It's fine.
15:52 You guys say goodbye how you want, but I'm not going to be part of it.
15:55 I'm not coming to the funeral.
15:57 I thought you said that you had decided to buy something new.
16:06 I can't hassle Cindy for money.
16:08 She's just been through that whole nightmare with Grace.
16:10 Ask Warren, then.
16:11 He doesn't know he could be my dad.
16:13 And after the other day, I don't want to go anywhere near him.
16:15 Scott's right. I can't buy these either.
16:18 The others have gone to get some food.
16:21 It's just us here now, so...
16:22 It's okay. You don't have to say it.
16:24 Say what?
16:25 The other night was a mistake.
16:27 Well, I'm so happy that you feel the same way.
16:31 But, you know, with us two, it's easy.
16:34 It comes naturally.
16:35 But...
16:36 But you're with Shing-Lyn.
16:38 We've already messed up our relationship, like, ten times already.
16:41 You really are beautiful, you know.
16:43 Oh.
16:44 So, whatever you wear to prom, you'll always look great.
16:48 Stop comparing yourself to Shing-Lyn.
16:51 She's in another league with all this stuff.
16:52 It's not about her.
16:53 I'm just not into proms anyway.
16:54 Too much hassle.
16:55 So I'm going to forget the whole thing.
16:58 Harry, wait.
17:05 Save your breath, Romeo.
17:07 I've already made my decision.
17:09 I know Daddy's been a pain in the neck.
17:11 But we're all just hurting, aren't we?
17:13 And dealing with it in the best way we can.
17:15 We need to be kind to each other, not angry.
17:19 We only get one chance to make this special for Juliet.
17:22 One chance to get it right.
17:24 And everyone just fighting and arguing.
17:26 It's too much.
17:27 Too much pressure.
17:29 Too much pain.
17:30 Just too much Romeo.
17:32 So, yeah, I'm angry.
17:33 What about it?
17:34 You're angry at her, aren't you?
17:38 For leaving.
17:39 So am I.
17:41 So am I.
17:42 Every night since you lost her,
17:47 I lay in bed awake because I can't sleep.
17:51 And all I want to do is scream.
17:53 At her.
17:55 At the world.
17:57 For taking away my little sister.
18:00 I can't cope without her.
18:04 It's not our fault.
18:06 It's no one's fault.
18:08 I know that.
18:09 Yeah, maybe in your head.
18:10 But your heart's still full of rage.
18:12 You used to let the rage go and come to the funeral.
18:15 You said earlier you didn't want to let Juliet down.
18:17 If you stay away today, then you'll be doing that.
18:21 Please, just...
18:23 Come with me.
18:26 Can't you be out back soon?
18:32 Where's Maine?
18:34 Eh, probably evolving.
18:36 Or skipping the whole thing on first days?
18:40 Juliet's ex.
18:41 I broke her and Perrie up last year.
18:43 You didn't have to say goodbye to Juliet too.
18:46 She was a huge part of your life.
18:48 Yeah, well...
18:50 Perrie's the real man behind, right?
18:52 The what?
18:54 Perrie was Juliet's first ever girlfriend.
18:56 And then Juliet was yours.
18:57 I mean, it's a circle of life and Perrie's right at the top.
19:00 Mate, you need to educate yourself.
19:01 That's not how it works.
19:02 That's not how it ever works.
19:04 No, there's no need to be embarrassed, OK?
19:05 I slept with Perrie too.
19:06 Her bedroom's got all the top rank.
19:08 Can you really not think before you speak, just for one day?
19:12 OK, I'll just go find Raine and Romeo, then, yeah?
19:15 Yeah. Sweet.
19:16 What is he on?
19:18 Everyone deals with grief differently.
19:21 That's why you shouldn't stress about today.
19:23 You can't be responsible for other people's feeling.
19:27 But I can be responsible for how I deal with them.
19:29 And what about your own feeling?
19:31 I know that your job is about helping other people.
19:36 You deserve to be happy too.
19:38 Don't take it out on me.
19:41 You need to be kinder to yourself.
19:43 I can just tell you you're going to be fine.
19:48 I'm going to be right there with you.
19:50 Dad won't wait now.
19:53 So tell Mum to stop panicking.
19:55 All right, I'll see you soon.
19:57 You made the right decision.
20:00 But if Dad sees you wearing that, he's going to freak out.
20:03 Is it wrong that I kind of want to see that?
20:06 Yeah.
20:07 Thank you.
20:12 Is that on your jacket?
20:13 No.
20:14 For everything.
20:15 For chasing after me, caring about how I feel.
20:19 Look, you're right, I'm angry at Juliet.
20:23 And your dad.
20:25 But I'd be angrier at myself if I didn't come to the funeral.
20:28 I'm glad you're with me.
20:32 That's how we're going to get through today.
20:34 Together.
20:35 But we've still got to give the eulogy.
20:39 Yeah, but I'll be right by your side.
20:41 I promise.
20:42 And you'll be right by mine.
20:43 Thank goodness.
20:44 I'll need you there.
20:46 And so does Juliet.
20:48 Shall we?
21:00 Hi, it's Romeo. I'll call you back when I can.
21:02 Hey, Romeo.
21:04 Look, I know how important today is, I just...
21:07 I got this text and I'm really stressing out.
21:10 Can you please call me back?
21:11 It's urgent.
21:14 (phone ringing)
21:15 I should go.
21:34 I don't want to be late for the funeral.
21:35 Oh, that's a waste. Have another bite.
21:38 No.
21:39 Joel!
21:40 You'll have that, won't you?
21:42 Nah, I don't think I should.
21:43 I need to look after myself.
21:45 It's only a little slice.
21:47 Yeah.
21:48 Nah, not like that. I just...
21:49 My life has to change.
21:51 Listen, I don't want to be a victim.
21:52 I want to take back control.
21:53 Show people what I'm capable of.
21:55 Do some good.

21:58 Yeah, that was talk.
22:00 Right? I want action.
22:01 I want to do what Leela did to help people.

22:27 I got a text from my GP and...
22:30 I messaged her back, but she's only just replied to me.
22:34 She's made me an appointment at the hospital.
22:36 Why?
22:39 I fell in love.
22:42 I fell in love.
22:43 I fell in love.
