00:00Hey, Piper. You having a good walk? Lots of good sniffs.
00:18No more escaping, eh, up?
00:21She's not had a chance.
00:23What, are you and Miss Lydia making croissants for breakfast? Those tin ones always blow
00:27my mind.
00:28Is that what you want to talk about? Piper's welcome, what you've had for your breakfast?
00:32No. Look, I feel terrible. I was overthinking and I guess reading too much into things.
00:41I shouldn't have said it, and I'm sorry.
00:45Me too. I was just really embarrassed. I feel like everyone's judging me.
00:51You've done nothing wrong.
00:52What, lying about having a miscarriage?
00:54And that's no one's business, Belle. But look, I'm still worried about you, the way
00:58he's been treating you.
00:59This isn't all on him. We both say stuff that we didn't mean. We get angry. But it's done
01:05now, isn't it? And Tom's not in a great place, so I just don't want to stir things up. But
01:11thank you for looking out for me.
01:13Friends?
01:14Course we are. Come here. Just leave me to deal with Tom, though, yeah?
01:20Yeah.
01:25DARE I ASK?
01:34It's just arrived. A little treat for the kids. If we're not allowed to take them to
01:39the seaside, then we'll bring the seaside to them. It's a candy floss machine.
01:44What's wrong with that?
01:46We can make them more mocktails, pretend we're living it up on the Costa Blanca.
01:51It's a nice idea, but Billy and Dawn have got a whole Hollywood day planned. Save that
01:56for another time.
01:57How come you're in a mood?
01:58I'm not. I just don't want any more problems.
02:01Nothing to do with you and Kim? I don't want to pry, I don't want to get involved, but
02:07I can see how stressed it's making you.
02:09I just don't get it. What is she doing? Hold up at the B&B like some kind of martyr? It's
02:15not how she operates.
02:17You make it sound like some sort of game.
02:19I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I just need a break from here. You fancy a walk?
02:24Will it stop you stressing about Kim?
02:27Probably not, but we can give it a go. Once we've hidden this, obviously.
02:36We were going to come and see you later. We heard what happened in the pub.
02:42Me making a fool of myself, telling everyone up, isn't it?
02:45That's not what anyone's saying, not as far as I can make out. I wish you'd told me and
02:50Jimmy about the abortion.
02:52I didn't know myself, not until we went away.
02:55Is that why you came home early?
02:59She left me.
03:05I still can't believe it. I mean, how could she end things like that? Our marriage, our
03:09baby. I just wanted to be her dad. And now her and Vinnie.
03:15Vinnie? What about her and Vinnie?
03:17I don't know. Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there.
03:19But she only married you two minutes ago. I always knew you were too good for her.
03:22But I still love her. Maybe I've got it wrong. Maybe we've still got a chance.
03:26Oh, love.
03:29You must think I'm pathetic.
03:31Of course not.
03:33I guess I'm just... I'm just lonely. Rattling round that house with too much time to think.
03:39Hey, you know you're always welcome here.
03:42Thank you, but you don't need me moping about.
03:45Tom, you're family. You don't have to do this by yourself. We want to help.
03:50Are you sure? I mean, I did think about asking, only I worried it'd be too cheeky.
03:56But I swear it wouldn't be for long. Only a few weeks, if that.
04:01And, you know, I'd pay my way, help the kids.
04:03Oh, that's not...
04:07Not a problem. No problem at all.
04:10Though it can get a bit crowded. And noisy.
04:14Queuing for the bathroom, that kind of thing.
04:17Sounds perfect.
04:19Thank you, Nicola.
04:21You'd think that Uncle Jimmy would mind, yeah?
04:24What do you think?
04:27You know, I was thinking, erm...
04:29I might ask Belle if she wants to move back in with us.
04:32You know, give us both the chance to have a proper reset, see how we really feel.
04:36Well, is that a good idea? What if it doesn't work out?
04:40Well, then I guess I'll have to walk away. But at least I would have done everything I can.
04:47Look, Tom, I'm really sorry, but I need to get to the cafe.
04:50I promised Brenda I'd cover for a bit.
04:52Eric's got an appointment with his Parkinson's nurse.
04:56Are you going to be OK?
05:15Decaf. Not that it's any of your business.
05:19Erm... I made an appointment for the scan.
05:23Managed to pull a few strings at the hospital.
05:25Am I meant to be impressed?
05:27I'm still waiting to hear back from the other clinic about the paternity test.
05:31I'm not sure I even want any of this.
05:33Well, I'm not going to force you, obviously, but...
05:37you know, it'd be good to get some answers.
05:39Except I don't need any.
05:41Because I know the baby's real and it's yours.
05:43OK, well, for me, then.
05:47I appreciate the fact...
05:48Look, Brenda was in the flat. I said I'd step in until you did.
05:51I thought you said you didn't want to wait for me.
05:53I'm not. I'm working for Brenda.
05:55What's that all about?
05:57Oh, Nicola, how should I know?
05:59It's half the job, keeping up with the local news.
06:01I promise it's safe.
06:03I wouldn't ask you to do something that wasn't.
06:08Great. I'll pick you up tomorrow lunchtime.
06:11Tomorrow?
06:12The sooner we know, the sooner we can both move on with our lives.
06:15Please.
06:16OK, fine. If I shut you up.
06:19OK, fine. If I shut you up.
06:50Nice car.
06:51Goes with a nice gaff.
06:55Let's skip the small talk.
06:57Fine by me.
06:59What you having?
07:00A name.
07:02I want to know who put you up to all this.
07:05The thing is, I'm a man of my word.
07:09How does two grand sound?
07:11Sounds like you're clueless, darling.
07:15I was paid to do the deal and keep quiet.
07:18It was a lot more than that.
07:21Ten.
07:23And I know it wasn't Rose.
07:28Like I said, man of my word.
07:32DOOR CLOSES
07:45She lied about the miscarriage.
07:47He's in a right state.
07:49Oh, poor Tom.
07:51Do you really think her and Vinnie are having an affair?
07:54Who knows?
07:56Might explain the abortion.
07:58I've had to say you can stop at ours,
08:00but you'll need to find somewhere else before Angel's released.
08:03Oh, hey, it must be really exciting.
08:05I'm relieved.
08:07She's been head down, staying out of trouble,
08:09or there'll still be months to wait.
08:11Oh, it's going to be great.
08:12I tell you what, I don't know how you've coped.
08:14It's only been a couple of days without Archie in that house
08:17and it's just felt so, so empty.
08:19Oh, you can have Tom if you like.
08:23How are things with you and Jay?
08:25Did Wish's memorial go OK?
08:27Do you know what? It was actually really moving.
08:30And then I went and ruined it
08:32and told Jay that I'd got a solicitor for our divorce.
08:36Ouch!
08:37There's never a good time, is there?
08:39But at least it'll help him come to terms with things, I think.
08:45Shouldn't you be at work by now?
08:47No, I'm on reduced hours. Gabby knows all about it.
08:51How's Archie?
08:52Same as the last time you asked.
08:54Which is fine, by the way, in case you do actually care.
08:57Just want to keep civil.
08:59I'm not the one who got the solicitors involved
09:02on our anniversary,
09:04a year to the day that my dad died.
09:14Sorry.
09:15Back to Liam.
09:17Oh, no, you don't already know.
09:19It's just his flaming paternity test.
09:21Flaming paternity test?
09:22He's acting like it's the most normal thing in the world.
09:25Yeah, but if it shuts him up a bit...
09:27That's what I thought, but it doesn't mean I'm happy about it.
09:31Hey, I don't suppose you're free to come along instead?
09:34Tomorrow dinner time?
09:36I've got a full head tent and blow away booked in.
09:39There must be someone else here.
09:41Yeah, sure.
09:45Yeah, I mean, between you and me,
09:47I'm not devastated what with Bill's problems,
09:49but he is.
09:51So I want something special enough to show we care
09:53without making it feel like a celebration.
09:55I've honestly no idea.
09:57I mean, I always go straight to cake.
09:59Although you are in luck,
10:01cos Caleb fancies himself as a bit of a foodie,
10:03and he is an expert in messy break-ups.
10:07You what?
10:09Tom and Bill split.
10:11I'm trying to cheer him up.
10:13It's nice of Kate to let me know.
10:15Thought you'd been off somewhere on a fancy holiday.
10:17Still at the end of a phone, aren't I?
10:19Someone sounded a bit jealous there.
10:21Have you a movie?
10:23Where did you go anyway, nice?
10:25Yeah, it was lovely, Bali.
10:27Beautiful hotel right on the beach.
10:29Thanks.
10:31Hey, Tom will be fine.
10:33Pizza and a bucket of wine will help.
10:35Hey.
10:37Just heard about you and Tom.
10:39How you doing?
10:41I don't want to talk about it.
10:47Depends what you and Vinnie have been getting up to.
10:51Just these, please.
10:533.98, please.
10:55Oh.
10:57Sorry, I think it's declined.
10:59No, it can't be.
11:03Try putting your card in, if you want.
11:05Actually, it's the wrong card.
11:07I'll come back later.
11:13Hiya, love.
11:15Hey, what's the matter?
11:17Nothing, just wrong bank card.
11:19That's not worth getting in a state about.
11:21No, I know I'm being stupid.
11:23Belle?
11:27Is she okay?
11:29I wish I knew.
11:31I hate seeing her so upset.
11:33Yeah, you and me both.
11:35I best go after her.
11:37Well, I can go.
11:39If she tells me to back off, then I'll back off.
11:41But it's been a really tough time.
11:43Well, I want to be a part of that.
11:47Okay, love.
12:05I know things aren't easy for you, Tom,
12:07but you can't keep taking time off without any warning.
12:09Call me back when you get this.
12:11Oh.
12:13Good job I don't do vet of the week.
12:17Can you pull up this week's appointments?
12:19I'm going to have to rejig things.
12:21Yeah, sure.
12:23I'll be with you in a sec.
12:31Hey.
12:33You okay?
12:35I just need a bit of air.
12:37The joys of early pregnancy, eh?
12:39Sorry about that.
12:41I hate to mess you about, but I've got a scan tomorrow.
12:43I'm sorry for the short notice.
12:45Oh, that's great. You must be dead excited.
12:47Yeah, it's just with Tom not turning up.
12:49It's not the same thing.
12:53Just a bit of cramp.
12:55Yeah, maybe, but you'd better get it checked out.
12:57I don't want to cause any bother.
12:59But it's only over the road.
13:01I'm sure I can cope on my own for a bit.
13:05On second thoughts,
13:09I'm coming with you.
13:11No arguments.
13:17Belle, can we talk?
13:19Belle!
13:21I can't even feed Piper now. Is that what you want?
13:23Of course not.
13:25Look, just tell me what's happened.
13:27There was no money in the joint account.
13:29I didn't think we'd still be using it.
13:31If you need money...
13:33No.
13:35No, she can share a few with Chip and Monty.
13:37I can't take anything from you.
13:39All right, well, if you're sure, but we still need to talk.
13:43Look,
13:45I'm moving in with Jimmy and Nicola.
13:47I think it'd be safer than being on my own.
13:49OK, yeah.
13:51It's a good idea.
13:53It means our place will be sat empty,
13:55which seems a shame.
13:57Well, it's better than you hurting yourself.
13:59Or worse.
14:03Look, I would love it
14:05if you could move in there.
14:07Rent's already been paid, six months in advance.
14:09No, we're good where we are.
14:11You and Piper would have your own space again,
14:13and you'd still be close to your family.
14:15A chance for...
14:17you both to...
14:21get back onto your paws.
14:25Why don't I buy you a coffee while you think about it?
14:27Hmm?
14:31No, I think she's just a bit overwhelmed
14:33with her paternity test and scan, you know.
14:35She asked me if I'd go with her.
14:37And are you?
14:39I would if I could, but...
14:41She certainly knows how to get everyone's attention, doesn't she?
14:43Think she got pregnant to annoy you?
14:45I've no idea, Mandy, cos I've no idea if it's mine.
14:47She's not going to lie about something like that, is she?
14:49She's done nothing else since she turned up.
14:51Liam, I know you're in your head, right,
14:53and I get it, I really do, right,
14:55but just think about what it's like for her.
14:57Oh.
14:59Oh.
15:01See, all I want is a bit of certainty.
15:05Oh, thank God.
15:07Why's the surgery shut?
15:09Well, it's lunchtime, so...
15:11Are you OK? What's happened?
15:13Is it the baby? Do you need to go to hospital?
15:15No, it's just a bit of cramp.
15:17OK, well, then you really should go to hospital.
15:19I said no.
15:21OK, look, when did it start?
15:23I don't know, about an hour ago, but it's really not that bad.
15:25Well, I'll take it from here.
15:27Well, let me know how you're doing, and do not worry about work.
15:43Do you want out from the shop?
15:45Why? What's Lydia said?
15:47I haven't seen her.
15:49OK, sorry.
15:51Just...
15:53I was misunderstanding earlier, but we're fine.
15:55You should go.
15:57Vinnie...
15:59Well, I act much of a friend if I don't make sure you're OK.
16:01I already told you I'm fine.
16:03It's just...
16:05Tom was watching us earlier, and it creeped me out.
16:07What are you on about?
16:09We weren't even doing anything.
16:11No, I know. It's just... It's weird, innit?
16:13Are you being paranoid?
16:15He's actually trying to make things better for me right now.
16:17You're not getting back with him, are you?
16:19No.
16:21I'll send it to you later, OK?
16:27Oh.
16:29You're not joining us?
16:33He is definitely into you.
16:35He's just a mate.
16:37Am I allowed to ask?
16:39Of course.
16:41Sorry, it was just a stupid joke.
16:45So, about the house...
16:47I'm not sure.
16:49We'd need a lot of ground rules.
16:51Have as many as you like.
16:53So, is that a yes?
16:57How are you doing?
16:59Bob's coffee hasn't improved.
17:01Well, there's a decent cup for you down at Home Farm.
17:03I'll stick to the wine.
17:07Well, they seem to be getting on better.
17:09Amazing what a conversation can do.
17:11Very subtle.
17:13I thought you were going to sort this out.
17:15Can't you at least try and talk to Will?
17:17Seems daft you've been down here.
17:19Yeah, well...
17:21It shouldn't be for much longer.
17:23I had a very interesting meeting earlier.
17:25Seems someone has paid a lot of money to screw me over.
17:29Why would someone want to do that?
17:31The real question is who.
17:35I can only come up with one answer.
17:37Caleb?
17:39He's rich enough.
17:41Obsessed enough.
17:43Obsessed?
17:45Yeah, with getting revenge.
17:47But I've got a big surprise planned for him.
17:57So, have you got any bleeding or spotting?
17:59And the pain?
18:01Standard issue.
18:03Period.
18:05Between one and ten?
18:07Four.
18:09Sometimes five.
18:11But it's stopped now, anyway.
18:13I mean, cramps are fairly common,
18:15so there's nothing to worry about.
18:17But, er...
18:19I'm happy to drive you to Horton General,
18:21if you want to be certain.
18:23I'm just going to go and have a rest for a while.
18:25In the salon?
18:27It's not actually in the salon.
18:29Yeah, I know, but, er...
18:31I mean, you can't be sleeping properly.
18:33Better than in my car.
18:35Ex-car.
18:37Anyway, I'm not going to start complaining.
18:39It's really good of Mandy to let me stay there.
18:41It's just how she is, isn't it?
18:43Still, it's not ideal,
18:45and there's probably lots of chemicals floating about.
18:49None that I've noticed.
18:51Even so...
18:53I'm going to call Bob.
18:55Pay for a room for you.
18:57You really don't have to do that.
18:59I know, but it's for the best.
19:01We can't take any chances.
19:05I can't, as a doctor.
19:07I think we'll both be able to just breathe a lot easier
19:09after this scan.
19:15Er, front and back,
19:17and spares.
19:19Do you always like this?
19:23I just want to make sure they're 100%,
19:25and this one isn't.
19:27It seemed OK to me.
19:29Can we just get another one cut?
19:31Yeah. Thanks.
19:33You'll have to pick it up from the shop tomorrow.
19:35Oh, no problem.
19:37I'll see you then.
19:45Well, he seemed friendly.
19:47At least he could get it done so quick.
19:51And you don't mind?
19:53The locks?
19:55Of course not.
19:57Whatever makes you feel safe.
19:59This is your home.
20:01Yours and Piper's.
20:04Well, erm...
20:07I'll see you then.
20:21Hang on, hang on.
20:23Sorry, mate.
20:25She wants to keep hold of that key after all.
20:27But we will still have a decent spare cut.
20:30Either works or it doesn't.
20:33Look, erm...
20:35She gets a bit bad with her nerves.
20:37You know, twitchy about keys floating around.
20:40Everything has to be accounted for.
20:47Obviously, I...
20:49will pay for it.
20:59Yeah.
