00:00Hey, Viper. You having a good walk? Lots of good sniffs. No more escaping, eh, up?
00:21She's not had a chance.
00:23What, you miss Lydia making croissants for breakfast? Those tin ones always blow my mind.
00:28Is that what you want to talk about? Piper's welcome, what you've had for breakfast?
00:32No. Look, I feel terrible. I was overthinking and I guess reading too much into things. I shouldn't have said it, and I'm sorry.
00:44Me too. I'm just really embarrassed. I feel like everyone's judging me.
00:51You've done nothing wrong.
00:53What, lying about having a miscarriage?
00:55And that's no one's business, Belle.
00:58Look, I'm still worried about you, the way he's been treating you.
01:00This isn't all on him. We'd both say his stuff that we didn't mean. We'd get angry. But it's done now, isn't it?
01:08And Tom's not in a great place, so I just don't want to stir things up. But thank you for looking out for me.
01:14Friends?
01:15Course we are. Come here. Just leave me to deal with Tom, though, yeah?
01:21Yeah.
01:28DARE I ASK?
01:30It's just arrived. A little treat for the kids. If we're not allowed to take them to the seaside, then we'll bring the seaside to them.
01:37It's a candy floss machine.
01:40What's wrong with that?
01:42We can make them more mocktails, pretend we're living it up on the Costa Blanca.
01:46It's a nice idea, but Billy and Dawn have got a whole Hollywood day planned.
01:51Save that for another time.
01:52How come you're in a mood?
01:54I'm not. I just don't want any more problems.
01:56Nothing to do with you and Kim.
01:59I don't want to pry, I don't want to get involved, but I can see how stressed it's making you.
02:04I just don't get it, what it is she's doing. Hold up at the B&B like some kind of martyr.
02:10It's not how she operates.
02:12You make it sound like some sort of game.
02:14I'm not sure I'm playing a game.
02:16It's not how she operates.
02:18You make it sound like some sort of game.
02:20I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I just need a break from you.
02:24You fancy a walk?
02:26Will it stop you stressing about Kim?
02:28Probably not, but we can give it a go.
02:31Once we've hidden this, obviously.
02:37We were going to come and see you later.
02:40We heard what happened in the pub.
02:44I've been making a fool of myself telling everyone our business.
02:46That's not what anyone's saying, not as far as I can make out.
02:50I wish you'd told me and Jimmy about the abortion.
02:53I didn't know myself, not until we went away.
02:56Is that why you came home early?
03:00She left me.
03:06I still can't believe it.
03:08How could she end things like that? Our marriage? Our baby?
03:12I just wanted to be her dad.
03:14And now her and Vinnie.
03:16Vinnie? What about her and Vinnie?
03:18I don't know. Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there.
03:20But she only married you two minutes ago. I always knew you were too good for her.
03:23But I still love her.
03:25Maybe I've got it wrong. Maybe we've still got a chance.
03:28Oh, love.
03:30You must think I'm pathetic.
03:32Of course not.
03:34I guess I'm just...
03:36I'm just lonely.
03:38Rattling round that house with too much time, I think.
03:41Hey, you know you're always welcome here.
03:44Thank you, but you don't need me moping about.
03:46Tom, you're family.
03:48You don't have to do this by yourself. We want to help.
03:51Are you sure?
03:53I mean, I did think about asking, only I'm worried it'd be too cheeky.
03:57But I swear it wouldn't be for long.
03:59Only a few weeks, if that.
04:01And, you know, I'd pay my way, help the kids.
04:04Oh, that's not...
04:07Not a problem. No problem at all.
04:10Though it can get a bit crowded.
04:12And 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.
04:24What do you think?
04:27You know, I was thinking,
04:29I might ask Belle if she wants to move back into ours.
04:33You 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.
04:42But 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.
04:57Are you going to be OK?
04:59Are you going to be OK?
05:17Decaf. Not that it's any of your business.
05:21Erm...
05:23I made an appointment for the scan.
05:25I managed to pull a few strings at the hospital.
05:28And we're meant to be impressed.
05:30I'm still waiting to hear back from the other clinic about the paternity test.
05:34I'm not sure I even want any of this.
05:36Well, I'm not going to force you, obviously, but...
05:40you know, it'd be good to get some answers.
05:42Except I don't need any.
05:44Because I know the baby's real and it's yours.
05:46OK, well, for me, then.
05:50I appreciate the fact...
05:51Look, Brenda was in the flat. I said I'd step in until you got here.
05:54I thought you said you didn't want to work for me.
05:56I'm not.
05:57I'm working for Brenda.
05:59What's that all about?
06:00Oh, Nicola, I don't know.
06:02It's half the job, keeping up with the local news.
06:05I promise it's safe.
06:07I wouldn't ask you to do something that wasn't.
06:12Right. I'll pick you up tomorrow lunchtime.
06:14Tomorrow?
06:15The sooner we know, the sooner we can both move on with our lives.
06:18Please.
06:20OK, fine.
06:21I've got to shut you up.
06:27CAR ENGINE ROARS
06:50Nice car.
06:52Goes with a nice guff.
06:56Let's skip the small talk.
06:58Fine by me.
07:00What you having?
07:01A name.
07:03I want to know who put you up to all this.
07:06The thing is, I'm a man of my word.
07:09How does two grand sound?
07:12Sounds 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.
07:27Like I said, man of my word.
07:46She lied about the miscarriage.
07:48He's in a right state.
07:50Oh, poor Tom.
07:52Do you really think her and Vinnie are having an affair?
07:55Who knows?
07:57Might explain the abortion.
07:59That, I say, can stop her hours, but he'll need to find somewhere else before Angel's released.
08:03Oh, hey, it must be really exciting.
08:06I'm relieved.
08:08She's been head down, staying out of trouble, or there'd 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.
08:20You can have Tom, if you like.
08:23How are things with you and Jay?
08:26Did Rishi's memorial go OK?
08:28Do you know what? It was actually really moving.
08:32And then I went and ruined it,
08:34and told Jay that I'd got a solicitor for our divorce.
08:37Ouch.
08:38I know, there's never a good time, is there?
08:40But at least it'll help him come to terms with things, I think.
08:46Shouldn't you be at work by now?
08:48No, I'm on reduced hours.
08:50Yes, Gabby knows all about it.
08:53How's Archie?
08:54Same as the last time you asked.
08:56Which is fine, by the way, in case you do actually care.
08:59Just want to keep civil.
09:01I'm not the one who got the solicitors involved on our anniversary,
09:06a year to the day that my dad died.
09:16Sorry.
09:18Back to work.
09:19Oh, no, you don't already know.
09:21It's just his flaming paternity test.
09:23He's acting like it's the most normal thing in the world.
09:26Yeah, but if it shuts him up a bit...
09:28That's what I thought, but it doesn't mean I'm happy about it.
09:32Hey, I don't suppose you're free to come along instead?
09:35Tomorrow dinner time?
09:37I've got a full head tent and blow-away booked in.
09:40There must be someone else, eh?
09:42Yeah, sure.
09:45Yeah, I mean, between you and me,
09:47I'm not devastated what with Bill's problems, but he is.
09:51So I want something special enough to show we care
09:54without making it feel like a celebration.
09:56I've honestly no idea. I mean, I always go straight to cake.
10:00Although you are in luck,
10:02cos Caleb fancies himself as a bit of a foodie,
10:04and he is an expert in messy break-ups.
10:08You what?
10:10Tom and Bill's split. I'm trying to cheer him up.
10:13Well, it's nice of Kate to let me know.
10:15I thought you'd been off somewhere on a fancy holiday.
10:18I'm still at the end of a phone, aren't I?
10:20Someone sounded a bit jealous there.
10:22Of you and Ruby? Where did you go anyway, nice?
10:25Yeah, it was lovely. Barley.
10:27Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Thanks.
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 are you doing?
10:40I don't want to talk about it.
10:47Problem?
10:48Depends what you and Vinnie have been getting up to.
10:51Just these, please.
10:53Er, 3.98, please.
10:57Oh. Sorry, I think it's declined.
11:01No, it can't be.
11:03Um, try putting your card in if you want.
11:06Actually, it's the wrong card. I'll come back later.
11:11Oh, hiya, love.
11:13Hey, what's the matter?
11:15Nothing, just wrong bank card.
11:17That's not worth getting in a state about.
11:19No, I know. I'm being stupid.
11:20Belle?
11:26Is she OK?
11:27I wish I knew.
11:28I hate seeing her so upset.
11:29Yeah, you and me both.
11:31I'd best go after her.
11:32Well, I can go.
11:34If she tells me to back off, then I'll back off.
11:37But it's been a really tough time.
11:39She is going to need everyone that cares about her pulling together.
11:42And...
11:44Well, I want to be a part of that.
11:48OK, 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.
12:13Good job we don't do Vet of the Week.
12:16Can you pull up this week's appointments?
12:18I'm going to have to rejig things.
12:20Yeah, sure.
12:23I'll be with you in a sec.
12:32Hey, you OK?
12:34I just need a bit of air.
12:36The joys of early pregnancy, eh?
12:38Yeah, about that.
12:41I hate to mess you about, but I've got a scan tomorrow.
12:44I'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.
12:58I don't want to cause any bother.
13:00But it's only over the road.
13:02I'm sure I can cope on my own for a bit.
13:05On second thoughts, erm...
13:10I'm coming with you. No arguments.
13:18Belle, can we talk?
13:20Belle!
13:21I can't even feed Piper now. Is that what you want?
13:23Of course not.
13:24Look, just tell me what's happened.
13:26There was no money in the joint account.
13:30I didn't think we'd still be using it.
13:32If you need money...
13:34No. No, she can share a few with Chip and Monty.
13:37I don't want anything from you.
13:39All right, well, if you're sure. But we still need to talk.
13:44Look, I'm moving in with Jimmy and Nicola.
13:47I think it'd be safer than being on my own.
13:50OK, yeah. It's a good idea.
13:53It means our place will be sat empty,
13:55which seems a shame.
13:58It's better than you hurting yourself.
14:00Or worse.
14:03Look, I would love it if you and Piper would move in there.
14:06Rent'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.
14:16A chance for you both to...
14:21..get back onto your paws.
14:25Why don't I buy you a coffee while you think about it?
14:28Hmm?
14:31No, I think she's just a bit overwhelmed
14:33with the maternity test and the scan, you know.
14:36She asked me if I'd go with her. And are you?
14:38I would if I could, but...
14:40She certainly knows how to get everyone's attention, doesn't she?
14:43You think she'll get 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 has done nothing else since she turned up.
14:51Liam, I know you're in your head, right, and I get it.
14:54I really do, right?
14:56But just think about what it's like for her.
15:00SHE SIGHS
15:01See, all I want is a bit of certainty.
15:05Oh! Thank God.
15:07Why is the surgery shut?
15:09Well, it's lunchtime.
15:11Are you OK? What's happened?
15:13Is it the baby? Do you need to go to hospital?
15:15No, it's no. Just a bit of cramp.
15:17OK, well, then you really should go to hospital.
15:19I said no. OK, look, when did it start?
15:21I don't know, about an hour ago, but it's really not that bad.
15:24Well, I'd rather make sure. I'll take it from here.
15:27Right, well, let me know how you're doing,
15:29and do not worry about work.
15:45Do you want out from the shop?
15:47Why? What's Diddy said?
15:48I haven't seen her.
15:50OK, sorry.
15:52Just... We had a misunderstanding earlier, but we're fine.
15:56You should go.
15:59Vinnie?
16:00Well, I act much of a friend if I don't make sure you're OK.
16:02I already told you I'm fine.
16:04It's just...
16:06Tom was watching us earlier, and it creeped me out.
16:09What are you on about? We weren't even doing anything.
16:11No, I know. It's just...
16:13It's weird, innit?
16:14Are you being paranoid?
16:16He's actually trying to make things better for me right now.
16:19You're not getting back with him, though, are you?
16:21No. I'll explain it to you later, OK?
16:27Oh.
16:29You're not joining us?
16:33He is definitely into you.
16:36You should just admit.
16:38Am I allowed to?
16:40Of course.
16:41Sorry, it was just a stupid joke.
16:46So, about the house...
16:49I'm not sure.
16:51We'd need a lot of ground rules.
16:52Have as many as you like.
16:54So, is that a yes?
16:58How are you doing?
17:00Bob's coffee hasn't improved.
17:02Well, there's a decent cup for you down at Home Farm.
17:05I'll stick to the wine.
17:08Well, they seem to be getting on better.
17:11Amazing what a conversation can do.
17:13Very subtle.
17:14I thought you were going to sort this out.
17:16Can't you at least try and talk to Will?
17:18It seems daft you've been down here.
17:20Yeah, well...
17:22It shouldn't be for much longer.
17:24I had a very interesting meeting earlier.
17:27It seems someone has paid a lot of money to screw me over.
17:31Why would someone want to do that?
17:33The real question is, who?
17:36And I can only come up with one answer.
17:39Caleb?
17:41He's rich enough.
17:42Obsessed enough.
17:44Obsessed?
17:45Yeah, with getting revenge.
17:48But I've got a big surprise planned for him.
17:52So, have you got any...
17:54any bleeding or spotting?
17:57And the pain?
17:58Standard issue, period.
18:02Between one and ten?
18:04Four.
18:05Sometimes five.
18:07But it's stopped now, anyway.
18:08Good, good.
18:09I mean, cramps are fairly common,
18:11so there's nothing to worry about, but...
18:14I'm happy to drive you to...
18:16to the hospital.
18:19I'm happy to drive you to Houghton 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.
18:30Yeah, I know, but...
18:32I mean, you can't be sleeping properly.
18:34Better than in my car.
18:36Ex-car.
18:38Anyway, I'm not going to start complaining.
18:40It's really good of Mandy to let me stay there.
18:42It's just how she is, isn't it?
18:45Still, it's not ideal,
18:47and there's probably lots of chemicals floating about.
18:50None that I've noticed.
18:52Even so...
18:55I'm going to call Bob.
18:57Pay for a room for you.
18:59You really don't have to do that.
19:01I know, but it's for the best.
19:03We can't take any chances.
19:06I can't, as a doctor.
19:09I think we'll both be able to just breathe a lot easier
19:11after this scan.
19:16Er, front and back.
19:18And spares.
19:20Do you always like this?
19:24I just want to make sure they're 100%,
19:26and this one isn't.
19:28It seemed OK to me.
19:30Can we just get another one cut?
19:32Yeah. Thanks.
19:34You'll have to pick it up from the shop tomorrow.
19:36Oh, no problem.
19:38I'll see you then.
19:46Well, he seemed friendly.
19:49At least he could get it done so quick.
19:52And you don't mind?
19:54The locks?
19:55Of course not.
19:57Whatever makes you feel safe.
19:59This is your home.
20:01Yours and Piper's.
20:06Well, um...
20:09I'll see you then.
20:16Hang on, hang on.
20:18Sorry, mate.
20:19Um, she wants to keep hold of that key after all.
20:22But we will still have a decent spare cut.
20:26Either works or it doesn't.
20:29Look, um...
20:31She gets a bit bad with her nerves.
20:33You know, twitchy about keys floating around.
20:36Everything has to be accounted for.
20:39You know, she's a bit...
20:42Everything has to be accounted for.
20:49Obviously, I...
20:52Will pay for it.
