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