00:00Don't worry, I'll stick to our deal.
00:01So long as you keep that mouth of yours shut.
00:03There are a multitude of reasons why children seek to change their gender.
00:06I'll make the referrals today, but I'm afraid the waiting list...
00:09What would you do?
00:10I can't stay like this.
00:11That's a rose.
00:13It's called Martha.
00:14I'm gonna plant it with these ones.
00:15It's Daphne of Lake.
00:16What's he up to?
00:17I need to talk to someone.
00:18It's about my mother.
00:19Yeah, it's just about...
00:21I'm changing!
01:30What do you think?
01:36They're supposed to say,
01:39leave your loved ones with us while we drain your inheritance.
01:41But also, we're warm and welcoming.
01:44Uh, I mean, uh, yeah.
01:46They're giving all of those vibes.
01:48Really evenful.
01:49I'm just a new client.
01:50I was at Jez's allotment, but then Sophie didn't feel very well,
01:52so I had to bring her home, and then this order came in.
01:55So, well, now Dilly's on babysitting duties.
01:58You know, speaking of Jez,
02:00that whole Patrick thing really freaked me out at first, but...
02:03Well, at least you're not still accusing him of being the talented Mr. Ripley.
02:06Oh, don't!
02:07It's so embarrassing!
02:09And Scott said he's a really nice guy, and I trust his judgment.
02:12He is a really nice guy.
02:14Which is actually something of a miracle, given how awful his mother is.
02:17His mother?
02:18Yeah, Martha.
02:19She lied to us about who she was, why she was here,
02:21and then she completely lost it the other day.
02:24She just attacked Jez.
02:26Turns out she's very unhinged.
02:28Sounds like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
02:29where your dad's concerned, does it?
02:31I wonder how many skeletons Jez has got hiding in his closet.
02:34I'll see you in a bit.
02:43JJ!
02:46Oh, he takes it round the little person,
02:48shoots it the whole way,
02:49takes it out wide,
02:50take away an handy person to the future captain,
02:52and then when he shoots,
02:53he scores!
02:54The crowd go absolutely bonkers.
02:58Where are you all?
02:59Come on, guys.
02:59Takeaway's here.
03:03JJ?
03:05JJ?
03:06JJ, wake up.
03:08JJ.
03:10Suzanne?
03:11Frankie!
03:12You're gonna be all right.
03:13It's gonna be okay.
03:16Ambulance, please.
03:17Yeah, it's my son.
03:18As quick as you can, please.
03:24Hey, shouldn't we need to check on R.O.?
03:26He's been in his room for ages.
03:27He probably just needs a bit of time
03:28to process everything the doctor says.
03:30I'm sure he'll be okay.
03:32Hey, here he is.
03:35Anne and Dee Dee have gone down the youth club.
03:36Why don't you go join them?
03:38No, I'm...
03:40I'm gonna go play basketball instead.
03:42Look, I know you must be frustrated
03:44with the lack of options available at the moment,
03:46but we're really proud of the way you're handling it.
03:48Isn't that right, Di?
03:50Yeah, of course.
03:52You're right.
03:53I shouldn't have got my hopes up so soon.
03:56I mean, how can it be two years
03:58before they can even start to help?
04:00I know right now that I'm a boy,
04:02and all I want to do is be in a boy's body.
04:04Is that too much to ask for?
04:06Sorry to interrupt.
04:07Suzanne Ashworth's downstairs.
04:08She said you promised her a trial shift.
04:10I completely forgot.
04:12Right, well, you go.
04:13Right.
04:17Hey, listen.
04:18It's not forever.
04:20You know, the doctor's just gonna wait
04:21till you're a little bit older.
04:23And who knows, by that time,
04:26you might even feel a bit more...
04:28Well, you might feel different about the whole thing.
04:30Time moves fast, don't you think?
04:33That's what I'm afraid of.
04:49You're gonna be all right.
04:50Frankie, I didn't think anyone was in.
04:53What's happened?
04:54Well, didn't you hear me calling out?
04:55No, no.
04:56I had my headphones on,
04:57and I've only just seen you miss call.
05:00Is he dead?
05:01Look, the paramedics are gonna want to know
05:03what happened before he collapsed.
05:04What do you know?
05:04Right, and I don't know,
05:06because I was in my room.
05:07I didn't see or hear anything.
05:11It's okay.
05:12Your dad's here.
05:13And Frankie, everything's gonna be all right.
05:15Thank you so much.
05:16And remember, you get a 10% discount
05:18if you sign up to our Floral Fanatic subscription.
05:20And I'm gonna pop back to the bar.
05:21Thank you.
05:22For the trip to Antigua in August.
05:25Blood money.
05:26Oh.
05:28Someone's on the ball, aren't they?
05:32I think it's time for some more goodies.
05:35I'll pop in and get us some tea and biscuits.
05:38I'll pop in and get us some tea and biscuits.
05:45Martha?
05:55I'm not skiving.
05:57Just changing a barrel takes longer than you think.
06:00Hey, that Suzanna's been here for five minutes,
06:02and she already thinks she owns the gaff.
06:04I mean, apparently she did used to own it,
06:06but that's by the by.
06:07Hm.
06:09You had a nose?
06:10Uh, yeah.
06:15Kitty?
06:18What do you know about binding?
06:20Binding?
06:22Not much.
06:23Never really needed to do it myself.
06:26I know a mate of mine got into a bit of trouble a while ago
06:28because he bound too tight,
06:29but that's it.
06:31Why?
06:35Do you?
06:37Do you think you could get me in contact with him?
06:41Or maybe just try and help me find some tips?
06:43Why? Is it something you're thinking about doing?
06:46The GP appointment was useless,
06:49and I just feel like I need to do something.
06:51Yeah, but not before speaking to your mum and dad.
06:53They don't understand.
06:55You do.
06:56That's a thing, though.
06:57I kinda don't.
06:59And I've got to be honest with you,
07:00I'm not exactly the fountain of all knowledge
07:02when it comes to gender.
07:04My journey has very much been my own.
07:08Look,
07:10I know you're growing up,
07:12both mentally and physically,
07:14and puberty can be awful for everyone,
07:16but we've all been through it.
07:17Your mum and dad included.
07:20Kitty?
07:21You out there?
07:22Court rest handed.
07:24Just promise me you won't do anything
07:25without speaking to your mum and dad first, okay?
07:28Okay.
07:29Good lad.
07:36What are you doing here?
07:37Did you have something to do with my delivery?
07:39It's not me.
07:40What?
07:40It's you.
07:42I don't know what's going on here, okay,
07:43but I have seen what you're capable of,
07:45so you stay away from me,
07:46and you stay away from my family.
07:48Ow!
07:49You're dead.
07:50Get off me!
07:50Someone help!
07:51You're dead.
07:52Get off me, you witch!
07:53Mrs Blake, sorry about that.
07:56What's wrong with her?
07:58Mrs Blake's a very sick woman.
07:59Her son bought her in with severe dementia.
08:02Come on, let's get you inside in front of that TV.
08:04That holiday programme that you liked just started.
08:09Anyway, after everyone entered,
08:10it was time for the worst part of the evening.
08:12Oh, running from the rain, Rose.
08:14Scared to get your hair wet.
08:15I thought you two were at youth club.
08:17Yeah, we were, but it's full of kids.
08:19Yeah, because you two are so mature.
08:20Dee Dee's still there.
08:21She's filming some mad dance routine for the socials.
08:25Yeah, yeah, you should head down.
08:26There's a bunch of girls doing it.
08:28You'd fit right in.
08:29I'm okay, thanks.
08:31Oh, you're seeing better days, this.
08:33Give it back.
08:33Oh, no, I think I can get you a replacement.
08:36There's a good as new netball in the cupboard at ours.
08:39Oi, you didn't need to lob it that hard.
08:40Oh, I'm sorry, Rose.
08:42Did I hurt your boobies?
08:44Actually, I've barely felt it.
08:45You should stick to football.
08:46Your throw is 10 times weaker than any girl I've ever played against.
08:50Oh, whatever.
08:51Come on.
09:03Hi, Mum.
09:25Frankie, where are you?
09:26Darren said you were following the ambulance down here.
09:29Yeah, I am.
09:31I'm walking there now.
09:32Mum is there.
09:34Please hurry.
09:35I need both my babies near me right now.
09:39How's JJ?
09:40Do the doctors know what happened?
09:42Well, the doctors are doing tests and Darren's with him.
09:44He's alive.
09:46That's the main thing.
09:47Frankie, I know you're probably feeling a bit guilty, upset, afraid,
09:53but you don't have to.
09:54You've done nothing wrong.
09:56He's going to make a full recovery.
09:57I know it.
09:58And then everything will go back to normal
10:00and you'll be back home together doing all the things you usually do.
10:04He loves you so much.
10:06He needs you.
10:08Frankie?
10:10Frankie?
10:14It was an absolute nightmare when I was your age.
10:17Always causing trouble.
10:19Mashing out with everyone around me.
10:24Yeah, a bit of a bully, to tell you the truth.
10:28Nothing like you, mate.
10:31Yeah.
10:35You're such a good lad.
10:39You're so kind and caring.
10:43An absolute girl on the football pitch.
10:50Everything I could dream of in a son.
10:56Hey.
10:57You okay, mate?
10:59Yeah.
11:01Have a glass of water.
11:03There you go.
11:06Me and Frankie worried for a bit, though, mate.
11:10Where is she?
11:12Why isn't she here?
11:13Well, I don't know.
11:16Why would she leave me?
11:18I'm sure she's on her way, mate.
11:21We've all been worried about you.
11:24She isn't.
11:26Why would you say that?
11:29JJ?
11:31Hey.
11:31Hey.
11:33Did something happen between you and Frankie?
11:38It's all my fault.
11:44It's okay.
11:54It's always a pleasure to see you, Lisa.
11:55Thank you for all your tireless work.
11:59Thank you.
12:11Is everything okay?
12:13Is there someone in there you need to visit?
12:17Well, why is he still alive?
12:18He should be dead.
12:22Someone hurt you?
12:23When I was younger, someone hurt me, too.
12:28But if the person who hurt you's in the hospital and you're out here,
12:31well, that means they can't do anything to you now.
12:34They're weak and vulnerable, but you're not.
12:37You're strong.
12:38Powerful.
12:41You're the one that's in control.
12:54That was nice.
12:56Sienna?
12:58We need to talk.
13:01About your mother.
13:05So, Suzanne did a trial shift?
13:07Honestly!
13:08First my home, now my local.
13:10That woman gets her feet under the table wherever she goes.
13:13I mean, I wouldn't worry.
13:14Tony and Diane don't exactly have it back.
13:16She got a phone call mid-shift and did a runner.
13:18Didn't even say why she left.
13:20Diane, I'm glad I caught you.
13:22How did the appointment go with Roe?
13:23Oh, er, yeah. So-so.
13:25Yeah, for what it's worth, I think you and Tony are handling this exceptionally.
13:29It's not easy.
13:30Yeah, we went through the same thing with Phoenix.
13:31Well, it's not exactly the same as Phoenix as an adult.
13:34True. I mean, things are getting harder for trans youths
13:37when they probably should be getting easier.
13:39What do you mean?
13:40It's just such a long and drawn-out process, isn't it?
13:42Well, we've got a lot of work to do.
13:44I mean, we've got a lot of work to do.
13:46I mean, we've got a lot of work to do.
13:47I mean, we've got a lot of work to do.
13:48I mean, we've got a lot of work to do.
13:50Well, we've let him change his clothes and his name and his pronouns,
13:53so is that not fast enough?
13:54I'm just saying.
13:54It's probably best you don't, Nancy.
14:00Di, erm, I think you should maybe have a word with Roe.
14:04I went upstairs before,
14:05and I don't think he's doing as well as we all thought.
14:07Well, thanks for your patience and advice.
14:08I'll get right on to it.
14:15Hey.
14:16Right.
14:18I only went out for a few bits,
14:19and I've just had a full-on lecture from Nancy about parents and Roe
14:22as soon as I walked through the door.
14:23I'm sure she's just being supportive.
14:25Oh, Tony, whose side are you on?
14:26It's not about sides.
14:27It's about our son's happiness.
14:29Surely that's all anyone cares about.
14:31Tony, all this gender stuff is a minefield.
14:34Right, and I feel useless.
14:36And worse than that, I'm...
14:38I'm confused.
14:39I'm getting information coming from all directions,
14:41from the telly, from the internet, from...
14:43from friends, and I don't know what to say.
14:45Well, you don't have the answers because none of us do.
14:47You just stick to being the amazing mother that you've always been,
14:49and we can work it out from there.
14:51Here.
14:53It's somebody's birthday tomorrow.
14:56Don't remind me.
14:56Well, it's a good excuse for us to come together as a family.
15:00Look, darling, we all love you,
15:01so stop being so hard on yourself, okay?
15:09Seriously, Martha's got the grip of a wrestler.
15:12Thank goodness the care home nurse was there.
15:16I told Jez all about it earlier.
15:18Why didn't he tell you that he put his mum in a home?
15:20I mean, he told you about her, but then didn't mention that.
15:23Embarrassment.
15:24Jez, I'm sorry, I wasn't gossiping.
15:25I was with Maxine before when I saw Martha.
15:28And I'm sorry to hear about your mum.
15:30Thank you.
15:31She's been suffering for a long time.
15:34I'm just sorry Siena had to witness firsthand what she can be like.
15:37But she seems so lucid.
15:39I mean, what about when she...
15:40No, that's what's so devastating.
15:41She seems lucid, but she's not.
15:44That's why I found it so difficult to help her.
15:47You know, we haven't always seen eye to eye,
15:49but I really wanted to make things right between us, but...
15:55Now she's so ill, I don't think I'm going to get the chance.
15:59I'm sorry, I don't think I can talk about this right now.
16:02Hey, it's fine.
16:04Look, you found her somewhere lovely,
16:06where the people are going to care for her,
16:07and, well, you have us to support you now.
16:11You're part of this family.
16:13For better or for worse.
16:18Thank you.
16:40Hi.
16:41Hey.
16:43I've told Mum and Dad everything.
16:46I'm sorry.
16:48It's okay, sweetheart.
16:50There's no need to get upset, all right?
16:53Listen, we understand why you felt guilty,
16:55but it's not your fault you're in your room when you collapsed, is it?
16:58The doctor said he's had a pseudo-seizure caused by stress.
17:01I mean, he's a fit and healthy teenage boy.
17:03What's he going to be stressed about?
17:06I can imagine it was a lot for you,
17:08walking in and seeing me on the floor.
17:10Dad helping me.
17:13I don't know what I would have done if it'd been you in my place.
17:15Listen to him, laid up in his hospital bed
17:17and still thinking about his sister's feelings.
17:20Darren said he was talking all sorts of nonsense earlier.
17:23Worried it'd upset you, blaming himself.
17:26Mum.
17:26Hey, don't be embarrassed.
17:29You too?
17:30Well, you've got a special bond that none of us will ever understand.
17:33And the good news is, the doctor said you're okay to go home.
17:37Tonight?
17:38No, no, no.
17:39New Year.
17:40Of course tonight, you silly billy.
17:42Stop.
17:44Right, now both our chicks are in the nest,
17:47shall we go and check on Freddy and make sure he's all right before we go home?
17:50Yes, good idea.
17:50Right, you help your brother pack.
17:52We'll be back in a sec.
17:56Erm, do you want to start packing and I'll just go and get us a drink or something?
18:00Do you really think I'd forget you walking away and leaving me?
18:06Evening, Mother.
18:07You missed me.
18:08So sorry I had to lie about you having dementia.
18:11Time for your evening top-up.
18:14Don't do this, someone's going to get hurt.
18:18You know...
18:20No.
18:22Therapists would have a field day trying to diagnose our relationship.
18:26First you sedate me and try and drag me home,
18:29and then I sedate you and put you in a home.
18:33Oh, Annie.
18:36I just wanted to thank you for finding a bed for Mother at such short notice.
18:41A little extra bonus for your holiday fun.
18:44Always happy to help a family in need.
18:47Thanks.
18:53You had me digging for hours burying the evidence,
18:57but it's all gone now.
18:59As I can't have you interfering again, can I?
19:03Thankfully Annie will take care of that for me.
19:06Now I just have to get a few more ducks in the row,
19:09and then it will be time for the Blake sisters' final act.
19:14I've waited so long to pay Patrick back for what he's done to me.
19:18A few more weeks won't hurt.
19:20Don't do this, it's not their fault.
19:23Don't do what?
19:28You think I'm gonna hurt Patrick's children?
19:31Destroy everything they hold dear?
19:34Put them in the ground?
19:36Because if you do,
19:40you're absolutely right.
19:56Hi.
19:57Just gonna grab a hot chocolate, I've got alabaster running.
20:01Um, Kizzy said that you might wanna have a little chat.
20:04Oh, uh, no, Mum, it's okay.
20:06I understand that there's not much anyone can really do for me at the minute.
20:10I'm dealing with it.
20:12Okay.
20:14Do you think I can grab an early night?
20:17I probably wouldn't be that far behind you.
20:20Night.
20:23Ro?
20:28Sleep tight, love.
20:34I'll see you tomorrow.
20:54Seriously, Dad, just warm up the takeaway for me, will you?
20:57I'm not serving a future world champion food that's been lying on the floor for four hours, okay?
21:01Exactly.
21:02Right, you get in there, get your feet up, I'm gonna cook us something nice.
21:08Can I sit by you?
21:10Why? There's all these seats free.
21:17I wanna be close to you.
21:19I've had a traumatic day.
21:20Barrington.
21:22So?
21:23She's been a good sister.
21:25Making me feel better.
21:26Will you stop it?
21:29I can't believe how selfish you are.
21:32After everything you've done.
21:33I've done?
21:35You watched me whilst I was getting sick.
21:38And then I collapsed.
21:39You left me when I needed you most.
21:41You know why I did what I did.
21:45And if you don't stop, I'm gonna tell Darren.
21:48They'll never believe you.
21:50Especially if I just miraculously remembered what happened today.
21:55If I told Mum and Dad, they'd think you were disgusting.
21:58No, no, I am not disgusting.
22:00You are.
22:01Shut up, Darren will hear you.
22:02I don't care, maybe I want him to know.
22:04Please, be quiet.
22:05No!
22:06I didn't call Darren or Mum or an ambulance because I hate you,
22:09and I just want you to die!
22:11Frankie, stop that right now!
22:13How could you say that?
22:15What is wrong with you?
22:31It's weird, isn't it?
22:46Thinking about getting old and who's gonna look after you.
22:50Uh-oh, how's Trish?
22:53Surely she's not looking for a retirement home already.
22:55No, she will be high-kicking and doing the splits long after me.
22:59I just feel sorry for you, Gran.
23:03Well, the care home's gonna take care of Martha,
23:05and we're gonna take care of Jess.
23:07You know, I can already see him having a huge impact on this family's future.
