00:00Hey, it's, um, it's me. Look, um, Moira has some sort of tumour on her brain and, uh...
00:20Look, son, I am really sorry. I, um... I didn't mean it, any of it. Um, I shouldn't have said
00:30what I said and, uh... Look, just, please, come home, yeah?
00:36Hey. You've been here all night. I told you to
00:49And I told you I'm in this with you.
00:55Good morning.
00:56Time to rise and shine. Oh, delish, lovely. Not breakfast yet.
01:00Oi, don't eat your apple.
01:02What? You want a bite?
01:03Sorry, Mum. He insisted on tagging along.
01:06Um, if anyone's tagging along, it's you, mate.
01:08Can you see what I'm dealing with, Mum? The sooner you get home, the better.
01:11I'm trying. How are the boys?
01:13Yeah, uh, good. Ice cream for breakfast, dinner and tea, so good hands. How are you doing?
01:19Yeah, man.
01:20Have you heard from the neuro team yet?
01:22They'll be here when they're ready.
01:24Well, until then, Mum, just sit back, all right? Relax. The farm and the boys are safe with me.
01:28I'll make sure of that. We're taking John on to help out.
01:31Moira.
01:32Oi, that was my brilliant idea, thank you very much.
01:35Moira!
01:38Call the doctor, now!
01:44Something smells gorge.
01:46Yeah, um, biscuits.
01:49From my, uh, church club.
01:51Oh.
01:53Um...
01:54Amelia?
01:55I'll say another prayer for Moira, but I best go.
01:57Right, well, then I'll join you.
01:59What, to the church?
02:01Yeah. Go for a coffee afterwards. Maybe check in on Belle.
02:05No. I'm not listening to any more of her lies, Chas. They're cruel.
02:09She's not lying.
02:10Yeah, well, of course you'd believe her. You're a family.
02:12So are you. There are plenty of liars in my family, but Belle is not one of them.
02:17She lied about killing Tom's baby.
02:19Whoa! No!
02:21She terminated her pregnancy.
02:23Yeah, and she lied about it.
02:24And you're saying that she don't lie?
02:26Not about this.
02:28Amelia, I get... I get that Tom has been charming and kind to you, but...
02:34he is dangerous.
02:36Tom is?
02:38Tom who's never been locked up for killing someone,
02:40or not being off his meds cos he's never been on meds in the first place.
02:44Don't let him twist Belle's past issues.
02:46We've all seen her lose it on him.
02:47Oh, sweetheart.
02:48No, don't talk down to me. I'm not a kid.
02:50At least Tom actually treats me like a grown woman.
02:53I actually trust him.
02:55I trust him.
02:56He's finally had the guts to walk away from a bad marriage.
02:59I mean, you were practically his wife's carer.
03:01Carer?
03:02You have no idea how much you hid to protect her.
03:04And once he moved on and he met me, she starts crying abuse.
03:07To protect you!
03:08No, because she's jealous!
03:09Wow.
03:10God, he has really done a number on you.
03:12No. Belle's done a number on you.
03:17Can you do anything to help her?
03:19She's safe.
03:21She'll be a little dazed when she comes to.
03:24Mum?
03:25You OK, Mum?
03:27I'm ready to...
03:29play a school run.
03:31Your children are all right, Moira.
03:34All taken care of.
03:37You've had another seizure.
03:39You're coming out from it now.
03:41Nothing to worry about.
03:45Tell them that.
03:48Is it my house guests playing up again?
03:51Looks like it.
03:52This one was what we call a generalised seizure,
03:55or tonic-clonic seizure.
03:57Is it bad?
03:59You just switched off for a couple of minutes.
04:02We will look at increasing your anti-epileptic medication
04:06to reduce the risk of these type of seizures occurring.
04:10Reduce, not stop?
04:12You will discuss it with your neurologist and neurosurgeon.
04:16They are the experts on all things brain matter.
04:19They're meeting now, coming up with a plan to tackle your...
04:24What did you call it?
04:27A house guest.
04:30He's the star of the show.
04:32The specialist will be along to advise you later.
04:35OK, thank you.
04:38Well, I am not having you lot gawping at me until then.
04:42Well, I'm not shifting.
04:46Well, you two reckon you've got the boys and the farm covered,
04:50so...
04:51go cover them.
04:53Please.
04:54OK, Mum.
04:55All right. See you later.
04:57Yeah, love you.
04:58Love you too.
05:07I'd just really love to know what you've got planned for your birthday this week,
05:10so call me back.
05:12I miss you.
05:13Sweetheart.
05:16Hi, Nicky.
05:17That's one of my lovers.
05:20Sent me to voicemail.
05:23Come here.
05:28Is that Jay again?
05:30Again?
05:31Yeah, he called when you were showering.
05:33Desperate to know if you'd raised any cash yet.
05:35Oh, it's no big deal.
05:36Just a slight glitch.
05:37Is that what we're calling him now?
05:39How fitting.
05:41How are you holding up?
05:42Yeah, pitchy.
05:44Kept waking up.
05:45Choking on smoke.
05:47That's all right.
05:48It wasn't real.
05:52So what are you all for today?
05:54Self-indulgence.
05:55Self-indulgence?
05:56Bit of herkel-derkling?
05:57I'm making words up.
05:58No, it means lounging in bed for as long as I want.
06:01Are you coming?
06:02No, no, I can't.
06:03Jenny needs her hand held before I go and check in on Cain.
06:06Right.
06:09See you in a bit.
06:10Enjoy your decadence.
06:18Where's Tracy skiving at?
06:20I'm not my sister's keeper.
06:23Oh!
06:24Should've robbed you blind.
06:27Security cameras would've busted you.
06:33It's a bad time.
06:35When isn't it?
06:37Trace, you all right?
06:40No, it's just texted.
06:41He's made it to Shetland.
06:43That's bad.
06:49Settling in.
06:50Head's a mess.
06:53Don't call me.
06:54I'll call you when I'm ready.
06:57That's cold.
06:58Arctic.
06:59Call him anyway.
07:01Tried. It went to voicemail.
07:03I mean, I'm the one who sent him packing,
07:05accusing him of all sorts.
07:07No wonder he won't shut me.
07:13Vanessa, get us a bottle of wine.
07:15On it.
07:23Hey!
07:26Have you seen Amelia?
07:28Much to her disappointment.
07:30Well, it's not just you.
07:32How did she seem?
07:33Outraged that we'd all been conned.
07:35Well, we have.
07:36And not by Belle.
07:37She needs to open her eyes, man.
07:39Yeah, but we can't open them for her.
07:41Not when she's in love and loyal.
07:43I saw her far too many times in the shelter.
07:45We need to tread carefully.
07:47Oh!
07:50I've got it.
07:53Oh, dear.
07:54Fighting with lipsticks and tampons.
07:56All right.
07:57Hey, apparently all I need is a lion
08:00to get over nearly dying in Inferno.
08:03How are you on this fine day?
08:06Actually, I'm in need of a copper.
08:08You fancy one?
08:09Aren't you worried I might pour it on your head?
08:11More worried I might pour it over yours.
08:14Are you joining me?
08:18Hi.
08:19Hi.
08:20Shouldn't you be helping out at the farm?
08:22Thanks, Mackenzie, for going to get some fresh clothes
08:25and some proper food for us.
08:28Moira.
08:29Oh, Mr Chowdhury.
08:31This is Miss Green, the neurosurgeon.
08:32I said he's on your case.
08:34My very own neurosurgeon.
08:36Lucky me, eh?
08:38Are you ready to discuss your options?
08:40Please.
08:42You will need surgery at some point.
08:44How long till you can get her in?
08:46Well, the preferred option
08:48is to try and control your seizures with medication first.
08:51Well, why not just get it out and be done with it?
08:54That is an option.
08:55You do have that choice.
08:57We consider it is safer
08:59to try to reduce the risk of seizures around surgery first.
09:04How long will that take?
09:07To get the best therapeutic dose,
09:09a few weeks.
09:11Then...
09:12Then you get her in for surgery?
09:13Later finish, man.
09:15We'll do an interval MRI scan in a couple of months.
09:18Months? Well, you just said a few weeks.
09:21Can you let me hear what she has to say?
09:23You're not helping.
09:25The scan will give us information about the growth rate.
09:28Well, you said try and control my seizures.
09:31What if you can't?
09:33There is no guarantee that these seizures will settle.
09:36I'll still need to have the surgery.
09:39And we'll have waited all that time
09:41and given it a chance to grow and get worse.
09:44This option we typically call watch and wait.
09:47It is considered the safest option.
09:50That's a ticking time bomb she's got in her head.
09:52She just wants to wait to see if it gets worse.
09:54Cain, can you listen, please?
09:57Cain!
09:58Cain!
10:00Casey, go after him.
10:04I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. He's just...
10:06Just to be clear, Moira,
10:08it is absolutely your choice what treatment we pursue.
10:12You decide.
10:15What the hell was that?
10:31Right, I'm coming. Just needed a breather.
10:33No, you're not. You're not seen like this.
10:35I'm OK now.
10:38Get out of my way, Mackenzie.
10:40No.
10:41Move!
10:42Move!
10:43Whoa! Whoa, what's going on?
10:44You go back in there, she's only going to fret about you.
10:47She will worry that you're going to throw another selfish tantrum
10:50because you're too weak to handle it.
10:53She needs to know what she's up against.
10:55How can she do that when she's too busy worrying about you?
11:00Cain, can you take your brother home, please?
11:03Cain, we're all struggling here.
11:05But this is the start of what Moira has to deal with.
11:09Do you want to do right by her?
11:11Yeah, always.
11:13Good.
11:14Then get a grip and be better.
11:24If you were gulping that much and you were a bloke,
11:26I'd have clobbered you by now.
11:28I'm trying to work out how you go from boobless one day
11:31to fully boobed the next.
11:34Padded bra.
11:36All my tops are from before the op, so, well, no pad, no fit.
11:40Oh, right.
11:41What, you're too cheap to buy new tops?
11:43Uh-huh.
11:44When you offered me a cuppa, I thought you meant a proper drink.
11:49No judgment here.
11:50Of course there is. You wouldn't be human otherwise.
11:52Well, let's just say I'm not judging you badly.
11:54I wouldn't care if you did.
11:57I love our little chat.
12:02Oh, sorry, I...
12:03Oh, it's all right.
12:04No, it's not. It's Eves.
12:06Yeah, there's plenty more where that came from.
12:08Well, not as many as you think.
12:11One day you're the centre of their world,
12:13the next you almost get burned to death
12:15and you can't even pick up the phone.
12:17Nicky.
12:18I suppose we did leave things in a bad way.
12:21What's his dad's excuse for not caring?
12:24Caleb cares.
12:27I told him I was having nightmares.
12:31He took off.
12:32Scolding his minions and running after your brother
12:36are bigger priorities than me.
12:42Ta.
12:43I swore I'd be with Moira every step of the way.
12:47I couldn't hold it together for five minutes.
12:50I left her to face it without me.
12:52Mackenzie's with her.
12:53Yeah, well, it should be me.
12:57I went through the same with Mum.
12:59Just stood by and did nothing, let it happen.
13:02I can't do that again.
13:07What are you doing home?
13:08Well, they've discharged me.
13:10What for? They're just freeing up another hospital bed.
13:13I thought you were holding it together.
13:15Look, the doctors think that I can live with this tumour for now.
13:18Well, they're wrong.
13:19Cos you almost died already.
13:21Cain, stop.
13:22Just stop.
13:24I will try to live with it until it's safe to get it out.
13:27Look, I've got it from here, so...
13:30But you're...
13:31Mackenzie, we've got it, honestly.
13:34Please don't be offended, but can you just...
13:36Can you just go?
13:42Fine.
13:56I'm sorry.
13:57I know.
13:59It just feels like they're abandoning you.
14:01They're not.
14:03Miss Green said it was up to me what we do next.
14:06She was the one who was pushing you to do nothing.
14:08No, she wasn't.
14:10Cain, do you want to keep kicking off, or are you ready to hear what I'm facing?
14:15You need to play it clever.
14:16Like, cool your jets on Tom being the devil.
14:19But he is.
14:23Ah, yes, she is.
14:24Pull up a pew.
14:25And stop you from talking about me.
14:27Not her.
14:28Oh, give all that.
14:29We were just nattering about...
14:31You.
14:32Bustard.
14:33Because me mam wants to apologise.
14:37Yeah.
14:39I'm sorry, love.
14:41What, for repeating Belle's lies?
14:43For airing it in the pub.
14:44Airing her lies.
14:46What happened to being innocent until proven guilty?
14:49Oh, Amelia, please stay.
14:50No.
14:51No, I'm sick of the lectures.
14:53We're on your side.
15:01We are?
15:03Don't feel right indulging her ignorance.
15:06All she wants right now is for Tom to come back.
15:09Well, he won't.
15:10If he knows what's good for him.
15:11But what if he does?
15:12If we push her too hard, she'll shut us out.
15:15And then she will be isolated and vulnerable to him.
15:18She'd be in serious danger.
15:22Oh, thank God.
15:24I thought you were going to try and feed me more dishwater.
15:26That's the best coffee for miles.
15:29If you turn your nose up at that,
15:30then this ain't going to be up to standard.
15:32Oh, I want it.
15:33You're less likeable by the day.
15:35I'm growing on you.
15:37Come on, give it to me.
15:38I almost got burnt to a crisp.
15:40Cheap card.
15:42Here, look.
15:44Oh.
15:45What are you doing here?
15:46I am bonding with my second least favourite sister-in-law.
15:49You've been bumped up.
15:51She's coming to dinner tomorrow.
15:53I am?
15:54I am, yes.
15:56But I've got Kyle and Isaac staying,
15:58so if I'm less than fresh...
15:59Then you'll be no different to usual.
16:01So I take it you haven't been searching high and low for me, then?
16:04No, I've been checking on Cain.
16:06Myra's home.
16:08They cut it out already?
16:09No, they wanted to live with it and see how it goes.
16:12And how did Cain's hear that?
16:13Yeah, about as well as you'd expect.
16:15Oh, that's the last thing we need, him spiralling a basket up there.
16:18No, no, don't.
16:19Myra said he'd be back tomorrow.
16:22No, no, don't.
16:23Myra sent me a map packing.
16:25She wanted to talk to him on her own.
16:27Wow.
16:28A married couple talking things through.
16:30I wonder what that's like.
16:31Are you really making this all about you right now?
16:35Thanks for the drink and everything.
16:39Any time.
16:42What?
16:45What, are you just walking off on me?
16:48Well, if I was her, I'd walk away, too.
16:52What about poor Frankie?
16:54I mean, she wants to talk to her dad,
16:56and I really thought her dad would want to talk to her.
16:58I mean, he loves the birds, doesn't he?
17:00Oh, Eric's going to have a fit
17:02when he finds out I've locked up hours early
17:04and now we're drinking all this stock.
17:06Who's telling?
17:08Would you really have uprooted Frankie
17:10and moved your entire life to Scotland?
17:13I was all in.
17:15Until I thought I'd got it on with Myra.
17:19I should have trusted him.
17:21But you didn't.
17:23I keep messing up every chance I've got at a happy family.
17:28Right, I see you're a messed-up family,
17:30and I will raise you mine.
17:32OK, you've got a choice.
17:34You can take Nate by the horns,
17:37chase him to Scotland and beg him for another chance,
17:40or you stay here, you wallow a bit more,
17:44and then realise that he didn't even care enough
17:48to stick around and set things right,
17:51and you start over.
17:53But I hate starting over.
17:55Yeah, we all do.
17:58Ruby, just hang on, will you?
18:00Come on, wait. I'm sorry.
18:03I have been head-butted, held at gunpoint,
18:07shot at, knocked out, almost burned to death,
18:10all thanks to Myra, who I can't even be mad at
18:13because she is doolally and sick,
18:15and it is heartbreaking what she is facing.
18:17Yes, it is. It is, yeah.
18:19But I'm here, your wife, your supposed everything,
18:21not sleeping, not coping.
18:23Well, you're not. Of course I'm not!
18:25But you seem really strong.
18:26Strong doesn't mean I'm not struggling or important.
18:29You're the most important thing in my life.
18:31Where were you today? Running after your brother again?
18:33Yeah, cos when he spirals, he needs someone to talk him down.
18:36He has got loads of people to do that.
18:38I have you. I only have you.
18:41You don't care! Of course I do!
18:43I just don't want to think about it.
18:46How close I came to losing you.
18:51Who am I without you?
18:53A waste of space.
18:57You need to step up and be the one I can lean on.
19:02I will, Ruby.
19:04I love you.
19:06Stop being needy.
19:12I love you.
19:26Will you stop calling?
19:29I'll protect Ruby from you with everything that I've got.
19:31Are you listening to me?
19:35And you're a liar.
19:41All right, then, tomorrow I'll be there.
19:44If only to put your 640 under me self.
19:48If it really is your choice to have the surgery,
19:51then just choose the surgery.
19:54Now.
19:56When it was me, you begged me to have surgery.
19:58For you, there was no other choice.
20:01That aneurysm was gonna kill you.
20:03Mine wouldn't.
20:05But it almost did.
20:06Because we didn't know what we were dealing with.
20:09Yeah, I reckon all the stress and confusion
20:12made it a far worse house guest.
20:14Don't do that. Just...
20:15Laugh it off.
20:17Hey, you don't get to tell me what I call it,
20:20how I feel about it or deal with it.
20:22But I promise you, being glib doesn't make it seem OK.
20:26And if it starts acting up or gets worse,
20:29then surgery will become more urgent
20:32and more risky.
20:34Is it?
20:36Cos even if the medication does work,
20:39it could take weeks.
20:41Watching what happened today, that was...
20:43Hard, I'm sure.
20:47But hard is not impossible.
20:49And we can do hard things.
20:52And if it doesn't work,
20:54it could grow bigger within months
20:57and it'd be harder to cut out.
20:59But they will cut it out.
21:01And possibly a part of me with it.
21:05But I need you to keep it together for both of us, Adam.
21:09What?
21:11Can you do that for me?
21:13Please?
21:16Come here.
