00:00Joel is giving you a false alibi thanks to Mercedes. He's putting his life on the line for you.
00:06You didn't even sleep with him.
00:08Then why would James say you did?
00:10James...
00:14I just told you.
00:15Don't I tell the love of my life I have a brain tumour?
00:17No, Steve, don't!
00:19You can't sign those papers.
00:21I like you.
00:22Oh, darn.
00:24Ambulance. You might have done an overdose.
00:27Joel, wake up! Joel!
01:00You
01:30You
01:32You
01:36You
01:39You
01:41You
01:44You
01:47You
01:49You
01:55You're losing again.
01:57That's an overdose.
01:58I mean, losing Noah did hit him hard, didn't it?
02:00Well, yeah, cos it was a walk in the park for me.
02:02Oh, no, I didn't mean that.
02:03Yeah, I know.
02:04I've got Pez and Daniel to think about.
02:06Don't have the luxury of being so reckless.
02:09The doctor said he's gonna be fine, right?
02:11They've monitored him overnight.
02:13He hasn't woken up.
02:14He will.
02:15I can feel it.
02:18Come on.
02:26I'm sorry.
02:28I'm sorry.
02:33I'm not leaving until you explain.
02:35Fine.
02:36Stay.
02:37Don't eat the cornichon.
02:39Now, why would you tell me that you slept with Jez and you hadn't?
02:42And I've also been told that you've updated your will
02:44and included Leah and Lucas in it.
02:47Well, with your track record,
02:48those kids are gonna need all the help they can get.
02:50No, something is going on.
02:52I know it is.
02:55Do you still love me?
02:58You do, don't you?
03:04I need to get to work.
03:11So, if Joe's his alibi,
03:13what about the gun?
03:15If Warren's innocent, why was it in his house?
03:19Oh, do we really need one more pic of Jude in a swimming pool?
03:24OK, I'm off to work.
03:26Is that a love bite?
03:27What, are we back in the 90s?
03:29Well, I mean, you do still dress like you're a teenager.
03:31Rude.
03:33You know what, he won't be happy when Warren gets out
03:35and he can't impress the ladies being the big boss at the loft anymore.
03:39He's not even got a release date yet.
03:41Can you imagine being accused of killing your own mum when you didn't do it?
03:46I mean, that is really brutal.
03:49Now, if Warren finds out who set him up,
03:51he's gonna destroy them.
03:53Listen, forget about all that.
03:56We should be helping Mercedes celebrate.
03:59You've changed your tune.
04:00Well, I think we should rally the troops, show her that we're behind her.
04:07The doctor says you're fine to come home.
04:09No, I'm seeing him.
04:11I thought that was the last place you'd want to be.
04:14Or is it just me you're trying to escape?
04:18Joe, did you do the drugs because we had a fight?
04:20No.
04:22You know, I, erm...
04:24I took them because I couldn't stand the way I felt anymore.
04:30I thought after Noah's funeral,
04:32I'd have some sort of acceptance about it, or peace.
04:37But it was worse.
04:39Sweetheart.
04:41I just wanted the thoughts to stop.
04:44Every time they did, they'd just come straight back again.
04:46This is the only thing that would help.
04:48What?
04:51This wasn't a one-off.
04:53Lela, now's not the time.
04:54No, no, no. Have you been doing drugs since Noah's funeral?
04:57Yeah.
05:01Joe, did you do them in the house?
05:03Joel!
05:05Daniel was never there.
05:07Oh.
05:09Lela, where are you going?
05:10You can stay, but I am done.
05:21Is she clear on the plan?
05:22Crystal.
05:24We go straight for the jugular, show Warren the prison's not the worst option.
05:28And he realises that'll make it easier for everyone.
05:31Especially Mercedes.
05:33Yeah. Speaking of which, I've got to get to the lot,
05:35but help her celebrate Warren's release.
05:39Whatever you say, boss.
05:41Just, erm...
05:43Don't let me down.
05:45Wait for the signal, and then...
05:46Yeah, poor car. I almost feel sorry for her.
05:50I'll be back.
06:02You told him we hadn't slept together?
06:04Actually, I didn't tell Steve. I told Sienna.
06:07He never tried keeping anything from her.
06:09Anyway, what does it matter?
06:11I thought you and him were supposed to be done.
06:13We are.
06:15Yeah, well, I never thought you two were a natural match.
06:19Rough?
06:20Mm-hm. You might be a little...
06:23Uptight?
06:24Yeah, exactly.
06:26Steve just doesn't care what people think of him.
06:28That's what I love about him.
06:30Loved.
06:32He just thinks he can make a joke about everything,
06:34and sometimes he can't.
06:36No.
06:39Did you have the MRI?
06:41Have they confirmed it's a tumour?
06:43I'm just waiting for an appointment.
06:45I know what's going on in my own body, though.
06:48So tell Steve.
06:50I can't.
06:52Have you ever lost someone?
06:55Have you ever been powerless to help?
06:59I have.
07:00My sister.
07:02There's only one person I've ever truly loved.
07:06And if I could have one more moment with them,
07:08no matter how painful, I would take it.
07:11And I think Steve would, too.
07:18I'm sorry.
07:20I'm sorry.
07:22I'm sorry.
07:24I'm sorry.
07:26I'm sorry.
07:28I'm sorry.
07:30I'm sorry.
07:32I'm sorry.
07:34I'm sorry.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:38I'm sorry.
07:40I'm sorry.
07:42I'm sorry.
07:44I'm sorry.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:49I'm sorry.
07:51I'm sorry.
07:53I'm sorry.
07:55I'm sorry.
07:57I'm sorry.
07:59I'm sorry.
08:01I'm sorry.
08:03I'm sorry.
08:05I'm sorry.
08:07I'm sorry.
08:09I'm sorry.
08:11I'm sorry.
08:13I'm sorry.
08:15I'm sorry.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:19I'm sorry.
08:21I'm sorry.
08:23I'm sorry.
08:25I'm sorry.
08:27I'm sorry.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:35I'm sorry.
08:39Why didn't you talk to me, Joel?
08:42Say what?
08:45Well, Lila, you've been through the same, but worse.
08:48They won't put you through any more.
08:50But you have.
08:52I mean, how...
08:54How did I not know that you were back on the drugs?
08:58I mean, why didn't it even show up in your medical for work?
09:01Mercedes, she, um...
09:04She helped me fix the urine test.
09:06SHE SCOFFS
09:08Mercedes?
09:10Of course she did.
09:13You know that's not going to work, don't you?
09:22Hmm.
09:25That could have been us.
09:29Proper little family.
09:30It still is.
09:32It's... We're not, are we?
09:34You didn't even speak to me
09:36before you went and gave your dad an alibi.
09:40I couldn't.
09:41I thought I had no choice.
09:45It was Mercedes, but she...
09:48She threatened to tell you about the drugs.
09:50She was only doing it because she had to help my dad somehow.
09:54Right.
09:55So she was threatening you.
09:57That's it. Where are you going?
09:58To kill her.
10:06What are you doing?
10:08I knocked your bag over.
10:10Oh, my.
10:13I didn't realise love bites were still a thing.
10:15So, take it I know the artist.
10:17None of your business.
10:19Er, you just used my £40 concealer to cover it.
10:21It's my business.
10:23So, you and Vicky finally got it on.
10:25I knew locking you in the office would work.
10:28Yeah, but it shouldn't have happened, right? I'm her boss.
10:31Hmm. Well, not anymore.
10:33Oh, come on. Just admit that you like her.
10:35I mean, she's... she's smart.
10:37She's gorgeous.
10:38She's hilarious.
10:39She doesn't play mind games like you or Sienna.
10:42Hmm.
10:44Besides, it was a one-off.
10:48So, what, you're just going to sleep with her and then ghost her?
10:52No.
10:54Maybe.
10:56Look, she doesn't want anything serious anyway.
10:58Did you ask her?
10:59No, I didn't.
11:00It's not like she's short of admirers.
11:02And yet, for some unknown reason to the rest of mankind,
11:05she shows you.
11:06So, stop being a big, wet fish and guessing what she wants
11:10and phone her.
11:14I tell you what, I love my girls to bits, but this is the last time.
11:20Miss Pitt is seriously a bad photographer.
11:22Because of you, I can make anyone look good.
11:25Oi.
11:26Ah! What was that for?
11:27You manipulative little bitch!
11:29Joel isn't here because of you!
11:31Come on, break it up. Why don't you just talk about it or something?
11:33I didn't give him drugs.
11:34Yeah, but you knew he had them, didn't you?
11:37And you blackmailed him!
11:39You needed help!
11:40Yeah, and so did Warren.
11:41And I put my family first.
11:44And what about my family?
11:46Eh?
11:47You know, I have already lost a son.
11:51And now I'm going to lose Joel, too.
12:09I'm sorry.
12:10I'm sorry.
12:11I'm sorry.
12:13I'm sorry.

13:39I'm sorry.
13:40Sorry.
13:41I'm sorry.
13:42I'm sorry.
13:43I'm sorry.
13:44I'm sorry.
13:45I'm sorry.
13:46Another time from my guy!
13:57I thought I'd leave you mate.
14:01Zeke, you and Dylan had a nice time then?
14:04Yeah, it was alright.
14:05Well, I know you didn't get that glow from the sun.
14:07Ew, gross!
14:10You think I'm gross?
14:11You don't want your present anymore, yeah?
14:13You got me something.
14:17Thought I might shut you up.
14:20Survived the bright light of Blackpool, then?
14:23Yeah.
14:24Although I'm not sure it survived him.
14:27Er, it's dear, I know you're busy.
14:29But I was just wondering if, er...
14:32Sorry.
14:33Yes, this is James Nightingale.
14:37An MRI scan.
14:42This afternoon.
14:54Nice slap.
14:55Plenty more where that came from.
14:57Hey, I'm not starting anything about a shampoo.
14:59It wouldn't be a fair fight.
15:01Do you want some of it?
15:04I'm sorry about Joan.
15:08But you're not sorry for what you did.
15:12You know, no matter how low you stoop,
15:14things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:17Yeah.
15:18Yeah, cos I make sure that they do.
15:20While screwing everyone else over.
15:22I do what I've got to for my family and I won't apologise for that.
15:25And I thought you, of all people,
15:27and I thought you, of all people, would understand.
15:30I don't understand anything you do.
15:32Clearly not.
15:33Cos you won't be giving up on yours so easily.
15:36Don't you dare.
15:39Look, what y'all did was stupid.
15:41But, yeah, it could have been a lot worse.
15:43Leela, he's still alive.
15:47He's lied to me for weeks.
15:51I'm his wife and he'd still rather talk to you.
15:54Don't blame him, though.
15:57All this time, he's been struggling and I don't even have a clue.
16:02I mean, what does that say about our marriage?
16:05That you're both grieving.
16:09Look, I...
16:11I know what it's like to lose a baby.
16:14That feeling of injustice,
16:17like everyone gets to go home with their baby but you don't.
16:20Just stop.
16:21But you cannot just roll over.
16:23That's not what I'm doing.
16:24That is what it looks like.
16:28Come on.
16:30If you really love Joel...
16:34..fight for him, yeah?
16:36Fight for him, yeah?
16:52Marie?
16:53How's your Joel?
16:55He's all right.
16:56He's all right.
16:57It was just a little mix-up with the insulin, that's all.
17:00Oh, was it?
17:02What's the...
17:04What's the visiting times?
17:07Er...
17:08Do you know what? I wouldn't bother.
17:10He'll be home soon, won't he?
17:11No-one likes hospitals anyway, do they?
17:14Coffee's grim.
17:18It's not the coffee that's gross, it's the smell.
17:20The smell's rank.
17:21Well, let's hope none of us end up back in one.
17:23Cheers.
17:25What did you want to say to me?
17:27Just, erm...
17:29..hurry up and sign the divorce papers, will you?
17:32Unlike you, I'd like to move on.
17:39Ah, the wanderer returns.
17:42Hiya.
17:44Mum, do you mind just giving us a minute, please?
17:50Talk some sense into him, will you?
17:53A bit of bed rest is what he needs.
17:59Is Mercedes still alive?
18:02There could be a nuclear war and the McQueens would still survive.
18:07You really shouldn't be discharging yourself.
18:09Yeah, but there's no point in wasting a bit, is there?
18:12I mean, the drugs are almost out my system.
18:14I've had my mental health assessment.
18:17Although...
18:19..I don't really know if I've got a home to go back to.
18:21It's not where you left.
18:23You had every right.
18:25Look, I shouldn't have given my dad that alibi.
18:29Right, but I wouldn't have done it unless I truly believed he was innocent.
18:32Yeah, you didn't want to lose him.
18:34I'm scared of losing you, too.
18:39Listen, I'm going to...
18:41Joel, you really need to go into a drug programme and get cleaned properly.
18:46Anything.
18:47All of you.
18:51I don't know what I'd do without you.
18:53Same, sorry.
18:55Joel Dexter.
18:57Yeah?
18:58We've been looking into your recent statement.
19:01You claim that you were with your father during the two-hour window he wasn't accounted for.
19:05That's right.
19:07Except CCTV from Pricelight shows you were there, alone, for at least 20 minutes.
19:13Enough time for your father to kill Norma.
19:17I'm placing you under arrest for perverting the course of justice.
19:20You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
19:23if you do not mention one question, something which you later rely on in court.
19:27Joel.
19:31I'll be fine.
19:45Afternoon.
19:47Oh, hi.
19:50You all right?
19:51Yeah. Thanks for the text.
19:53Sorry that I had to drag you to the park.
19:55It's just that my dad's volunteered me to watch Mercedes Twins.
19:58Oh, yeah, well, you know, happy to oblige.
20:00Oh, my gosh, are you OK?
20:02Yeah.
20:03You all right?
20:04Yep.
20:05Excellent.
20:06Listen, about... No, you go first. Sorry.
20:09No pressure or anything.
20:12Do you want to... Do you want to grab a coffee or something?
20:16Are you asking me on a date?
20:19Yeah, I am.
20:21If you'd rather not, then...
20:23OK. Yeah, I'll go on a date with you.
20:26Great. OK, I'll, um...
20:28I'll send you a text.
20:30Yeah, I expect a message, so...
20:32Yes, I'll message you.
20:34OK.
20:36Bye.
20:41Did you hear that, girls?
20:43I just got myself a...
20:46Girls?
20:49Girls?
20:51Girls?!
21:07Has one of you got a pen?
21:14Are you sure you want to do this?
21:16Yeah, it didn't look like you wanted to do this earlier.
21:22If James wants to die a lonely old man, then let him.
21:26Ready?
21:38Should we get another bottle? I think you've had enough.
21:41There you go.
21:43Oh, yeah, it's going on a job.
21:45All right, love. Dad, I need you to help me, OK?
21:47Please calm down.
21:49OK, someone just took the babies, OK?
21:51I would literally turn around for, like, one second,
21:53and they were just...they were just gone.
21:55What do you mean, gone?
21:57Did you just...?
21:59My babies.
22:01Oh, my God, they've been kidnapped.
22:16Are you sure this is the best way?
22:18Oil's going to find out that freedom's not what it's cracked up to be.
22:22It's just hope for the twins' sake.
22:24Mercedes plays along.
22:45MUSIC CONTINUES
23:03Fancy reviewing my new cocktail?
23:05Put it on the specials board for tonight.
23:07Oh, I think for you, taking the initiative.
23:10Gorgeous.
23:12Oh.
23:14It's actually not bad.
23:16I know. I've called it the love bite.
23:21Ha-ha. Ha.
