00:00 [Music]
00:28 Yeah, I know it's really short notice, but do you know anywhere that might have late availability?
00:32 If Bury is a little bit too far.
00:36 Okay, thank you for your help though. Bye.
00:38 I know we dumped the idea, but Moira's could still work.
00:43 True, but...
00:45 I mean, do we really want to bring our son into the world in a stinking barn?
00:50 Work for baby Jesus.
00:52 Okay, well I guess we consider the idea of us postponing then.
00:57 Honestly, anything is better than that.
00:59 Even groveling to Charity after us turning down her very generous offer?
01:03 Us? You mean me?
01:05 Well, you are understandably a little bit paranoid, but do you know what Charity's superpower is?
01:11 Sarcasm?
01:12 Oh yeah, that. But I was thinking more her love of winding people up and keeping them guessing.
01:17 True, but if I was Charity, I would go around popping every balloon and pushing me headfirst into the cake.
01:25 Yeah, see that's not really her style. She's more of a blow up the church and walk away and slow-mo kind of gal.
01:30 Great, so now I need to check under the pews for explosives.
01:34 I think that her offer is just her way of saying that she's okay and she's alright with it.
01:42 Like pub or postpone, it's your call.
01:46 I want you to enjoy tomorrow and if you're in any way uncomfortable...
01:52 Well, we all need to live here, don't we? I don't want to think that she can wind me up constantly, so...
01:58 Pub.
02:00 You know, show everyone we're a family, your ex is irrelevant and we're moving on.
02:06 Yay, Chloe!
02:08 Yeah, but can you maybe do the groveling?
02:11 Er, yeah.
02:13 Yeah, since it is my newfound superpower.
02:17 Hmm.
02:17 Get that toast down, I need to wash up.
02:25 You told me not to bolt my food.
02:28 Well, I'm at Kim's this morning and I'm cleaning at the new place this afternoon,
02:32 so can you check in on Amelia today?
02:34 Yeah, will do. She loves it when I do my animal noises.
02:38 Amelia?
02:39 No, I stay.
02:45 This is sick.
02:46 You know your new bestie, Craig?
02:48 His company only makes the best mobile game ever.
02:52 Zombie X Return-Off.
02:54 Oh, that game's well old.
02:56 Yeah, it's a classic.
02:57 You know, what new ones are they making?
02:59 If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
03:01 Not if I work there. You know, I'm testing games for him.
03:04 Could you ask Craig to give me some work experience?
03:08 Oh, it's a bit cheeky after he's just given me a job.
03:10 Oh, please, Lydia. You know, just for a couple of weeks.
03:13 It looks so good on my uni application, especially if I do computer science.
03:17 Okay. I suppose I could ask.
03:20 Seeing as I've got the morning free,
03:28 I thought we could all go for a nice walk together.
03:31 But it's going for a drive.
03:32 Once again, I'm really sorry.
03:35 If I hadn't monopolised Paddy, you might not have fallen out with him
03:39 and the driving would have been less stressful.
03:42 No, I just... I wasn't up to it.
03:44 Do you know what? I might go into work
03:47 researching new recipes for the autumn menu.
03:49 Oh, come. Seeing as I'm your most glamorous assistant.
03:52 Fancy some me time, if that's okay.
03:54 Well, he might have forgiven me, but he definitely doesn't want me around.
04:03 He gets like this over new recipes, Mum.
04:05 You just need space to think and visualise.
04:08 Wait, wait. I thought we could have a little chat.
04:11 Talk about the dating... not dating thing.
04:14 No, no. I need some space too.
04:17 I'm going back to bed.
04:19 Duvet day.
04:20 Ah, morning.
04:26 Morning, Victor.
04:27 I hear your probation meeting went well yesterday, so...
04:30 Wouldn't hurt to ask our Lord for guidance too.
04:34 Well, God loves a sinner.
04:35 But like I said to the prison chaplain, I'll take all the help I can get.
04:38 Now, that was healthy yet delicious.
04:42 This woman is a culinary genius.
04:44 You need to eat well now.
04:45 I'm thinking of combining the Harvest Festival service
04:48 with the Sunday Food Bank next month.
04:50 You can help me drum up some donations.
04:53 That's a nice idea.
04:54 But I don't think that's within my skill set.
04:57 Hustling people and getting freebies?
05:00 That's right up your street.
05:01 Now, I'd like to be of more service to the Lord.
05:04 So, how about we work on it together?
05:08 Good idea.
05:08 I don't want you overdoing it either, Victor.
05:12 More coffee?
05:12 Oh, yes.
05:13 Sit down, Mum.
05:15 That can make it...
05:16 I want you to feel at home, Dad.
05:19 So feel free to help yourself and muck in.
05:21 Thanks, son.
05:22 Welcome.
05:25 Nice of you to, um, hop on by.
05:29 What's the occasion?
05:30 Um, I wanted to come and thank you for your very kind offer of the pub before.
05:39 And what, you've drawn a blank on venues,
05:41 so you're here to see if my offer's still valid?
05:43 Is it?
05:45 Chloe couldn't come and ask myself, then?
05:47 She couldn't offer up a little apology
05:50 for thinking I'm your psycho ex plotting revenge?
05:52 I think she's just embarrassed.
05:55 Yeah, well, it's a bit cringe, isn't it?
05:57 Her asking me herself, anyway.
05:58 So, come on, any conditions?
06:00 Like Chloe demanding I'm not even there?
06:03 No, nothing like that.
06:05 I feel bad asking, to be honest.
06:08 She's a hard person to say no to, though, ain't she?
06:10 So, is Chloe gonna be able to handle it?
06:15 Yeah, yeah, she's chill.
06:19 She's just laser-focused on getting what she wants.
06:21 Tell me about it.
06:22 Sorry.
06:23 Okay, that is the last jibe, I swear.
06:26 Be on my best behaviour tomorrow.
06:28 Okay.
06:31 And I'm aware that you nearly lost Reuben.
06:37 So I get why this day will be really special for you both.
06:39 Thank you.
06:41 Finished?
06:51 I've got some lunch in, if you've time.
06:54 Oh, thanks.
06:55 Hey, my stepson, Samson, he really loved one of them computer games you did.
07:01 Zombie something.
07:02 Zombie X Returning.
07:04 That's the one.
07:05 Well, you can tell him that we are working on the next one.
07:07 He'll be dead excited.
07:08 In fact, he, um...
07:10 It don't matter.
07:12 It's cheeky.
07:13 Now I've got to hear it.
07:15 Well, he's thinking about doing a computer science degree
07:19 and relevant work experience.
07:21 It looked really good on his application.
07:23 It's not the crack people think it is.
07:25 Playing the same level over and over to try and break the code.
07:29 Sorry, I've just got to deal with this.
07:34 Lunch is just in the office.
07:36 If it's a no, we'll completely understand.
07:37 Oh, this is seriously cool.
07:45 It's a kit.
07:46 You add bicarb and you add vinegar and then it erupts.
07:50 Moses won a little prize at summer camp and...
07:54 He got an outstanding effort achievement.
07:58 Oh, our little Einstein.
08:02 Oh, now of course he wants to be a volcanologist
08:04 as well as a motorbike racer, as well as a vet at the zoo.
08:08 I'm going to have a shot.
08:10 Wow, clearly you don't have the knack.
08:16 You know, he's, um...
08:20 He's finding it hard not seeing you and...
08:24 It's for the best, isn't it?
08:30 And then he's gone and asked Sarah if Chloe's baby is his brother.
08:36 So forget uni fun, I'm going to need kids therapy fun at this rate
08:41 because I'm just such a rubbish mum.
08:43 No, no, you're not, Charity.
08:46 You're not.
08:47 You are a tiger mum.
08:49 This is, this is all my fault.
08:51 These kids know exactly how much you love them
08:54 and how much you're always there for them.
08:58 And I'm not going to lie to you, I...
09:00 I really do miss not seeing Moses.
09:05 But I know that I can't because, you know, it's my fault I screwed up.
09:11 We were a little family.
09:15 And we loved each other.
09:18 Do you know what?
09:19 I, I can't believe that that's all just gone.
09:22 Me too.
09:26 I...
09:36 I...
09:46 I...
09:56 Oh, where's your gran?
10:09 She's down for a shift.
10:10 I don't know, I've just been up to take Monty for a walk.
10:12 He was driving everyone mad with his whining.
10:15 What happened with that woman, by the way, in the pictures, it really sucks.
10:18 It really does.
10:19 And whoever said dating around helps, obviously owns a hook-up app.
10:24 Maybe try listening to Taylor Swift and get your anger out.
10:27 Oh, that's like Phil Collins, but, you know, break-up music mum.
10:30 I know who she is, don't you patronise me.
10:33 Yeah, my gran loves her for obvious reasons.
10:35 Anyway, see ya.
10:37 Go on then.
10:42 Mum, did you pretend to go dating because I pushed you into it?
10:47 Well, I thought I'd try fake it till you make it.
10:49 It turned out to be more like lie till you cry.
10:53 Mum, I don't think there are any shortcuts for getting over something so awful.
10:57 I am sorry.
10:58 I'll live.
10:58 Look, doing it now.
11:00 But I want you to enjoy your life and find love with somebody wonderful.
11:04 Forget it.
11:05 I am too old to find true love.
11:09 And I'm certainly too old for Taylor Swift.
11:12 [FOOTSTEPS]
11:22 So, on a scale of one to weird, this is a Wes Anderson film.
11:27 And I don't know what to do with this silence.
11:31 Um, Sarah could walk in any minute actually, so...
11:41 Yep, yep.
11:42 I should get going.
11:43 I'll get Marlon to give you a buzz about the menu, yeah?
11:48 Go over some stuff.
11:49 Um, yeah.
11:51 Whatever works.
11:53 Um, are you sure?
11:55 Yep, I'm sure.
11:56 About the christening reception at the pub, yeah, sure.
11:59 Okay, thank you.
12:03 You're welcome.
12:04 Back door.
12:07 Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
12:09 [DOOR OPENS]
12:11 [DOOR CLOSES]
12:13 [DOOR CLOSES]
12:15 [DOOR OPENS]
12:17 [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
12:19 Sorry.
12:20 I had to just sign off on something.
12:22 No, I'm sorry.
12:24 I overstepped the mark.
12:25 It was cheeky, forget I asked.
12:27 Rubbish.
12:28 I just don't want to overpromise and underdeliver.
12:30 I'll have a word with Jed, our QA lead, when he's in tomorrow.
12:34 See if we can sort something out.
12:35 Samson would be made up if you could.
12:37 I like a lad with gumption who wants to work hard and get on in life.
12:41 I'm sure you'll be a great role model.
12:43 What about you with your two jobs?
12:45 The dizzy heights of success haven't changed me, you know.
12:48 Still love a meal deal.
12:49 Me too.
12:50 And, got us a bag of wiggly worms.
12:54 They still sell those?
12:55 Oh, that little sweet shop with the fellow who used to give us a death stare so we didn't nick anything.
13:01 That was exactly why I went and got them, so that we could relive the terror.
13:04 We could have those for pudding.
13:07 Oh.
13:07 I'm glad I did that reptile course now, because that iguana splint is really good.
13:15 How did Joffrey break his leg again?
13:17 Skydiving.
13:18 He fell off the kitchen table, running off with some salad.
13:21 So he was a thief.
13:22 Rona, we're here to heal, not to judge.
13:25 I know you were helping Mum yesterday and protecting her secret,
13:30 so what happened with Marlon was not your fault.
13:33 I know that.
13:34 How is he?
13:36 Not good, but he's gone into work, so...
13:38 How's your mum?
13:38 Dragged her out for lunch earlier.
13:40 She brought a book with her, so she didn't have to talk to me.
13:42 Marlon swears he's never going to drive again,
13:45 which of course is all in his head, and my mum's sworn off dating for life, so...
13:49 Marlon's a flipping inspiration.
13:50 Your mum's a force of nature.
13:52 Yeah, but I think that's part of the problem,
13:54 because we just expect them to cope heroically with it all.
13:57 Do you think there's some sort of, like, shame of Britain award?
14:01 For worst best friends?
14:03 Worst wife and daughter?
14:04 Back off, Goskirk.
14:06 I never won anything, me. It's mine.
14:07 No quick fixes, though.
14:13 People just get stuck for a while.
14:16 For a good while.
14:18 What's up? What's happened?
14:20 It's more what hasn't happened, really.
14:22 Erm...
14:24 I haven't been able to bring myself to visit Grace's grave since...
14:29 Since my suicide attempt.
14:32 Paddy, I had no idea.
14:34 Do you want to talk about it?
14:35 Maybe after work.
14:37 Yeah, yeah, sure. We'll go for a drink, yeah?
14:39 Hey, it's just me. Is everything all right?
14:45 Oh.
14:47 I was worried about you. I thought she was being really mean to you or something.
14:50 Look, if she said no, it's fine.
14:53 We can just forget the barn and we'll all squeeze into Moira's place or something.
14:57 I'll ring her and sort it out.
14:58 No, er...
14:59 Charity said it's fine.
15:02 Er, Marlon's gonna give us a call about the buffet later.
15:05 Oh, thank God.
15:06 I thought I was gonna be up all night making butties or something.
15:09 Well done.
15:09 I'm sorry I worried you.
15:12 No, it's just cos your phone was off.
15:14 I thought she was being a total cow or something, you know, like...
15:17 "Yeah, sure, we can use the pub."
15:19 Not.
15:19 But, you know, if she'd have said no, you could have told me.
15:23 I would have been chill about it.
15:24 Yeah.
15:26 I do love that about you.
15:31 Charity just said that she understood what it was like for us both when Ruben was sick.
15:35 And she just wants us to enjoy tomorrow.
15:37 Oh, my God.
15:39 So she was being really lovely and here was me making fun of her.
15:42 Oh, I'm such a bad person.
15:44 No, you're a lovely person, Chloe.
15:47 Okay, well, can you go pick up the cake from the bakery
15:54 now that we know no one's face is gonna get rammed into it?
15:56 (DOOR OPENS)
16:09 (DOOR CLOSES)
16:09 (DOOR OPENS)
16:10 (DOOR CLOSES)
16:10 (DOOR OPENS)
16:11 (DOOR CLOSES)
16:11 (DOOR OPENS)
16:12 (DOOR CLOSES)
16:12 (DOOR OPENS)
16:13 (DOOR CLOSES)
16:13 Boom!
16:14 Boom! Boom! Boom!
16:16 (CHLOE CHUCKLES)
16:17 You know, we should go and see a volcano in real life.
16:19 There is one in Lanzarote and you need a holiday.
16:21 I'm having my head examined.
16:23 You worried about tomorrow?
16:26 No, cos we're all gonna be on our best behaviour, aren't we?
16:30 I still think it's unreasonable of them to actually take you up on your offer.
16:34 After really turning me down in the first place.
16:36 I mean, hopefully it'll feel like some sort of closure.
16:38 Yeah, nothing like a christening to say we're done here.
16:42 I'm just relieved to see you're finally over him.
16:44 You know, I loved this book first time round,
16:53 but now I realise he murdered his first wife,
16:55 his second wife feels sorry for him,
16:57 so evil Mrs Danvers is actually doing her a favour by trying to drive her out.
17:01 Red flags! Red flags!
17:03 Sorry. Spoilers.
17:06 I'm fine.
17:06 Talking is overrated.
17:09 Miles will be through in a sec.
17:11 Do you know how much he hates you calling him that?
17:15 Oh, no. But not it. Thanks.
17:17 He's finalising the menu for the christening tomorrow.
17:20 I feel bad for dumping it on him.
17:23 Oh, he loves it. I'll be here to help him.
17:24 Yeah, I think he welcomed the distractions.
17:26 Paddy, if you wanted to go and visit Grace's grave,
17:33 then I could come with you now if you'd like.
17:34 It's all right. I'll do it when I'm ready.
17:36 Maybe if I understood why you feel like you can't go now,
17:41 well, maybe you don't know yourself.
17:44 I do know.
17:44 I'm completely eaten up by the guilt.
17:51 Beautiful little soul who wanted to live so badly.
17:53 I'm just taken away from her.
17:56 She had no say in it.
17:59 And yet I'm lucky enough to have a life and all I wanted to do was die.
18:04 I can't bear the thought of Grace here knowing that's how I felt.
18:09 Sorry. Peace, kookies.
18:12 I'm sorry if I was a mard.
18:14 Me too.
18:15 I'm just so worried about... well, all of you.
18:19 Please, Rona, we're fine.
18:20 Oh, let's face it, Mum. None of you are fine.
18:23 And seeing the people I love in so much pain is killing me.
18:26 So now I'm not fine either.
18:27 So, as of tomorrow, you're all going to stop faking it
18:33 and start facing your fears, okay?
18:35 Smells good.
18:44 Dinner, but it'll be another hour.
18:46 Oh, that's perfect because I fancy a soak in the tub.
18:48 Thank you, Claudette.
18:49 Oh, and cool apron.
18:50 Glad to see she's put you to work, Dad.
18:53 Yeah, thirsty work.
18:55 Here, if I had a bottle of that nice dry sherry you like,
19:00 I could pour it over ice, put on a tune, and then we could vibe.
19:04 Hey, when I do find some work,
19:07 I'll go down to that little shop and I'll buy you a bowl.
19:11 And I told you to take things easy.
19:18 Along with interest.
19:20 Go to the shop now and get us a bottle.
19:23 I don't know whether I'll be able to pay you back.
19:24 We'll keep a tally.
19:26 And when you can, you can.
19:28 You are the prettiest little loan shark I ever did see.
19:35 Don't forget your jacket.
19:38 Here we go.
19:41 Stop it.
19:42 She offered and he's actually buying something for her with the money.
19:47 That's how it always starts.
19:49 Marlon could have rusted you up a cake.
19:56 Well, I wish, because this costs an absolute bomb.
19:58 Oh, did they forget to put his name on it?
20:03 Or maybe they didn't know how to spell Reuben
20:05 and then they ran out of cakes, so they gave up.
20:07 Not everybody is you.
20:08 Edible flowers.
20:11 We're to flatter them on the cake tomorrow.
20:14 Wow, money for a robe, make a sponge cake,
20:16 shove some icing on it and then get the customer to
20:18 put all the foliage on later.
20:20 Yeah, I think it's so they don't wilt or stain the icing overnight.
20:24 Aw, it looks so pretty.
20:26 Back away from the cake.
20:27 Now, don't even look at it.
20:28 I'll put it in the big fridge.
20:30 Okay, thank you.
20:31 It's quite heavy, so don't drop it.
20:33 Chas, can we not?
20:36 I'm this close to a meltdown.
20:37 Ooh, brandy?
20:39 No, thank you.
20:41 Toilet.
20:41 What are you doing here?
20:48 I came to drop off the cake for tomorrow.
20:52 Okay.
20:54 Listen, about earlier...
20:56 It's fine.
20:56 I get why you needed to go, okay?
20:59 I needed you to go too, because I was just as weirded out.
21:02 It's a lot to get our heads around, isn't it?
21:04 And then I felt bad on Chloe.
21:06 And then I thought, actually, why the hell do I care about Chloe?
21:08 But obviously, it's different for you, isn't it?
21:12 Yeah.
21:13 Mind blown.
21:15 Anyway, so, did you know, Popeurigo's stale?
21:20 Fact.
21:20 But if you spritz it with this, however, everything comes up smelling of roses.
21:25 Look, we can't do this now.
21:30 So let's just get through tomorrow, yeah?
21:32 Yep.
21:35 Oh, Charity Dingle, you never cease to amaze me.
