00:00Music
00:13Did you get any sleep?
00:15Not much, that business with Joe.
00:17It kept going around in my head.
00:19Yeah, well, it's a problem.
00:21I get it. I shouldn't have kicked off.
00:23I'm not having a go.
00:25But he knows that he isn't related to Steph.
00:28We need to work our way around it.
00:30My fault.
00:31I'm not having a go at you.
00:33Any more than I'm having a go at your mum.
00:35Can't we just keep out of his orbit?
00:37Oh, yeah, like that's not weird.
00:39Saves me life and then we start ghosting him.
00:41Well, it'll stop him asking awkward questions.
00:43Not if he's still curious.
00:45Which, he will be.
00:48So, what?
00:50Once he knows that everything's normal with us,
00:54then we'll let him go his way and otherwise.
00:58Any idea how?
00:59Maybe.
01:20We need to talk.
01:21There's nothing to talk about.
01:23Don't.
01:24Joe, I meant what I said yesterday.
01:27I love Billy.
01:29And what we had is over, okay?
01:31No more sneaking around.
01:32Am I clear?
01:34Perfectly.
01:36Really?
01:37I mean, I'm not buying it.
01:39And I'm not accepting it.
01:40But I'm hearing you loud and clear, yeah.
01:41Joe.
01:42I don't like sneaking around either.
01:44But I meant what I said.
01:48I want a life with you.
01:51Then we have a problem.
01:52Well, maybe you do, yeah.
01:54Because I know that deep down you feel exactly the same.
01:58And you can lie to yourself, but it is the truth.
02:02You just have to accept it.
02:03I'm not giving up on us.
02:14Okay.
02:17Yeah, I can completely understand where you're coming from,
02:19but surely these are exceptional circumstances, aren't they?
02:23Oh.
02:25Well, that's not a face bearing good tidings.
02:27It's too right.
02:29Well, look, if this has got anything to do with the wedding,
02:30you might want to try and cushion the blow.
02:32She's on the phone to the registrar right now,
02:33trying to get the deposit back.
02:35I'm not holding out high hopes.
02:36Great.
02:38How'd you get on?
02:40Big, fat, no.
02:41Unsurprisingly.
02:42Really?
02:43Well, kind of the point of a deposit, innit?
02:45You cancel, they keep the money.
02:47Yeah.
02:48Because home town's the same.
02:49Kim's had flour on her.
02:51Well, what about cushioning the blow?
02:52I just thought I'd rip the plaster off instead.
02:54Great.
02:55How much are we down now?
02:56It's a lot.
02:57Do you think it'd be a better idea just to go through the wedding?
02:59Oh, it's not happening, all right?
03:02Not until we know what's happening with Ella.
03:04Her turning up on the big day is a scene I'd rather miss,
03:06if that's okay with everyone.
03:08It's just a waste.
03:10Look, there's not much I can do about it, is there?
03:12I'm not getting married just to save money.
03:22What's happening?
03:23Hello, Paul.
03:24Hello, Paul.
03:29I have.
03:31More packing.
03:32What gave it away?
03:33Well, you must have acquired a lot of stuff since moving here.
03:37Let's hope it all fits in the dream home.
03:39dream home. Where did that come from? Just making an observation. Well, you realise how
03:48important this is to me, don't you? A family home with Vinnie and Thomas. I thought you,
03:53of all people, would be pleased for me. I am. Except, go on, you've clearly got something
04:01to say. As long as you're not settling. With Vinnie. What does that mean? Gabby, I know
04:11the kind of guys you usually go for. Don't just accept the safe option.
04:16They've been here long. Long enough. So, are you any new ideas yet on how to separate
04:32them? You don't want the grass to grow, do you? I've kind of had a few other things on
04:35my mind lately. Yeah, of course. Sorry. Still, while you're convalescing, you know, you could
04:39get your thinking cap on. That's what the big doctor's brain's for, eh? You're not going
04:44to give him a hard time, are you? Why would I? I came out the way in this, didn't I? Good.
04:52Right, I'm going to go to the loo, and when I get back, I want to be the main focus. How
05:00are you doing? Oh, you know, getting there. Just make sure you look after yourself, yeah?
05:06Of course. Okay, but what are you doing? Colour scheme? I'm just playing. I'm not having
05:11any sort of... Hey, how's the new gaff? Ah, well, it's full of suitcases, and there's
05:14more to come, apparently. What, so you're leaving Gabby to unpack? That's nice.
05:18No, I'll help, you know, once everything's been brought over. I mean, honestly, how come
05:21one person have so much stuff?
05:26Kabir? Yeah, what's up? Yeah, yeah, tomorrow? Yeah, oh, you're going to make sure Lily's
05:32there, right? Oh, man, I can't wait to see her.
05:35Yeah, of course I'm going to take her out. Yeah. Yeah. I think I've got in, Cammy.
05:45Well? Shh. I'll tell you later.
05:50How's it going? Yeah, I'm not glad. I'm actually glad I've wanted to you. Just, uh, what a quick
05:59word about yesterday. Everything all right? Yeah, it's just that Steph's... Well, right,
06:06since I got attacked, she's, uh, she's been going through it a bit. She's kind of made her
06:11paranoid, which is, um, well, it's putting Ruby on edge. Ah, that's why Ruby had a go at
06:17me. Yeah. Just caught her at a bad time. She's not really been handling the situation very
06:24well. Ooh. You okay? Yeah. It's a stitch. It comes and goes. I feel for you. I really
06:35do. You know, I'm getting there. I wouldn't be around at all, as well, if it weren't for
06:41you. Listen, I know I've said thanks for everything, but, um... Look, you would have
06:47done the same. Anyone would have done. Let's just say you owe me a drink. Well, I think
06:52we'll give a lot more than that. Okay, we'll find some food. We call it even. Actually, it's
06:56funny you should say that, because I was thinking, um, are you free for lunch today? We could call
07:02it our first official family get-together, if you want. Pub? Ah, that's a bit exposing with
07:09Steph and everything. How about round at ours? Give us a chance for us all to say thank you
07:15properly. Yeah, look, you really don't need to. Joe, you saved my life. It's the least
07:20I can do. Okay. It's a plan. Excellent. I'll let the girls know.
07:30Noah! Just the man I'm looking for. Sorry? I need a favor, and only you can help. How do you
07:39feel like being a buffer? A buffer? Yeah. I've just been invited to lunch,
07:45and with you there as a distraction, I might be able to find out what I need.
07:57Hiya. Hey. Hope you're not banking on a big birthday present next year. By the time I've
08:02paid off this non-wedding, I'm going to be particularly skimp for a good while. Yeah,
08:06well, I've had an idea about that, actually. Oh, well, if it's the same as earlier, not happening.
08:11Which is exactly what I thought you'd say. Right, so? What if we took your wedding and
08:19made it mine and John's? Seriously? Yeah, of course, seriously. Why not? Do you not think
08:26it's a bit soon for you two? Brilliant. That's just the joy I was looking for. Not answering
08:29my question. A bit soon? You'll want to talk. Still, not answering my question. All right,
08:34fine. Yeah, maybe it is, but I feel like this is the real thing, Mum. Me and John, I haven't
08:45felt like this in a long time. And it's supposed to be for life, isn't it? I think that's the
08:50idea, yeah. We love each other. And it's going to happen anyway, so why wait?
08:57I can't believe you're making us do this. Keep your enemies close. It doesn't usually
09:07involve feeding them. Are you honestly sure you're up to this? Yeah, I'll be okay. Really?
09:13Because if you can't handle it... We'll have to manage it, won't I? Hello, mate. I'll be
09:16fine. It's too late now, anyway. Hey, hello, hello. Come on in. Hello. Oh, right, mate?
09:22All right. Hope you don't mind me bringing him. We just need some fraternal bonding.
09:27Oh, no, not at all. Plenty to go around. Do you want to set another place, Roobs?
09:30Of course. Uh, yeah, sorry to muscle in. No, it's fine. You're always welcome.
09:35I guess we're all family, aren't we? Yeah, that's true enough.
09:38Wow, all this DNA under one roof, and we get to break bread and talk. It's good.
09:44Come on through.
10:14Well, I'm sorry to bring this up, but have you heard anything from Anthony?
10:24No, nothing. I just thought maybe he would have been in touch.
10:30We'd rather not talk about it. I was just curious. I heard that he was ill.
10:36Yeah, and, well, we're sorry for him, but, well, let's just say he wasn't the best houseguest,
10:41and after what he was accused of, he's kind of a close book.
10:47Of course.
10:50Sure if things didn't turn out better? I'm with her.
10:53Mm, yeah, my thoughts exactly.
10:55Erm, will you, excuse me?
11:02Steph okay? Have I said something?
11:04No, she's fine.
11:07Should I go and speak to her? Apologise?
11:10Actually, erm, I need someone to help take the rubbish out,
11:14and Caleb's not really meant to lift anything with his stitches.
11:17Oh.
11:20Yeah, she asked you, mate.
11:22He's always trying to get me to do stuff for him.
11:24Like, I mean, he's lucky.
11:26Fair play.
11:27Worth a try.
11:34How long is this going on for?
11:44It'll soon be over.
11:45I need all to make sure Steph's okay.
11:47If she don't want to come back, then I'll just tell him she's not feeling well.
11:51Right.
11:52Meanwhile, I'll try and reassure her that this was a great idea.
11:54What are you doing about him and her not being related?
11:56I thought that was the point.
11:58Leave it with me.
12:06Hey.
12:08You all right?
12:09Yeah.
12:10Bit of a head rush.
12:11Stood up a bit fast.
12:12Do you want to have a sit down?
12:13Nah, I'm okay.
12:14It's Ruby not making you do all the heavy lifting.
12:16Yeah, she's just looking out for you.
12:18Yeah.
12:19Is Steph okay?
12:20I know that you're worried about her.
12:22Yeah.
12:23She's my daughter, isn't she?
12:25Well, in all the important ways.
12:28How do you mean?
12:32Caleb.
12:33Yeah, sorry.
12:34It's a bit of a delicate subject.
12:37But it is kind of relevant.
12:39If you can trust anyone now, it's you.
12:42Do you want to hear some good news?
12:49Always.
12:50What's up?
12:51You and me are getting married.
12:53Yeah, I know.
12:54Next month.
12:57Sorry, what?
12:58And the best part about all of it is, it's already organised.
13:00We don't need to do anything.
13:01Well, we don't need to do much anyway.
13:03Again, we're gonna need some explaining.
13:05Right, so my mum and Liam's wedding, it was already paid for,
13:07but they can't get the money back.
13:09So we're gonna step in.
13:12Oh.
13:14Okay.
13:15It's not the reaction I was looking for, and my mum was exactly the same.
13:17Well, it's just a bit soon, don't you think?
13:18But why?
13:19We're getting married anyway.
13:20Yeah, but next month it's kind of rushing it.
13:22Not really.
13:23Everything's sorted.
13:24The venue's organised, the caterers are organised.
13:26All we have to do is turn up.
13:27It's ideal.
13:28Well, maybe it's not ideal for me.
13:30I thought you'd be pleased.
13:31What's the problem?
13:32Right now that you're not listening to me.
13:34I feel like I've just become a passenger in all of this.
13:37I don't like not being consulted, and I certainly don't like being ambushed.
13:41Especially when it comes to my own wedding, okay?
13:43Back in the day, um, when me and Ruby first got together, look, she, she, uh, she really
13:55wouldn't want me telling you this, but...
13:57But her dad, Anthony, he was violent, right?
14:01Oh.
14:02Oh, I'm sorry.
14:04Um, oh, and there was me just quizzing you all about him.
14:08No, no, I don't mind.
14:10The point I'm making is that, well, Ruby was scared to go home a lot of the time, and
14:15one night, she ended up sleeping with this guy that she was staying with.
14:21She was young, and her head was all over the place.
14:25But we got past it.
14:27A pair of us.
14:29It's kind of the reason that we got married.
14:33But I've always treated Steph like she's my own.
14:36Yeah, say no more.
14:37And I'm sorry that I was so nosy about something so private.
14:40And, for me, shooting my mouth off in there...
14:43No, no, it's fine, honestly.
14:45But we've only just told Steph recently.
14:49And that's another reason why she's so freaked out at the minute.
14:53Actually, that was explained something that she said about me and her not being family.
14:57I guess Grandad's persona non grata, then.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Yeah.
15:03Tried to build bridges with Ruby at Christmas, but it didn't work out.
15:06That's why it went away.
15:09Wow, sorry.
15:11I didn't mean to lay all this on you.
15:13It's no judgement.
15:15All families have their secrets.
15:17Oh, yes.
15:19If you were here, go back in.
15:26Come on, Vinnie.
15:27You must get a few cars in.
15:28I'm just clapped out bangers, normally.
15:30I mean, you know what you're after?
15:31It's sort of a specialist.
15:32You'd be surprised.
15:33She's got parts in her from all sorts.
15:35Wow.
15:36That's a really disturbing way of putting that.
15:38Point is, my mate could be here.
15:39He owns her, right?
15:40And he's proper tuned her up, but he could do with some specialist tyres.
15:43You know, for drifting.
15:44Drifting.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Yeah.
15:47Okay.
15:48Let me explain what drifting means when it comes to this.
15:50It's fine, really.
15:51You know, I'll just keep an eye out for it.
15:53You're a good guy.
15:55I'll owe you.
15:56Sorry.
15:58Jakey!
16:01You're everywhere, aren't you, bro?
16:04Like a bad smell.
16:05Back at you, bro.
16:07Guess no one's told you how much I love being called Jakey.
16:10Oh, great.
16:12So you'll get used to it then, yeah?
16:16In a bit.
16:17See ya.
16:20Jakey!
16:21I'm not kidding, Vinnie.
16:23Anything interesting to say for himself?
16:27Something about cars and drifting out of a clue what we're talking about.
16:31Did he mention anything about seeing some girl?
16:33I thought he'd be seeing Sarah.
16:35Well, he's supposed to be, but I reckon he's playing away.
16:37Seriously?
16:38I overheard him on the phone earlier.
16:41What are you going to say out to her?
16:42I mean, I could say something to her.
16:44Keep it to yourself for now.
16:46Yeah, but she needs to know, though.
16:47I mean, if he's going to warn her that Cain and Charity, he'll kill him to find out.
16:51Let me catch him with her first.
16:53Well, thanks for having us.
16:58I'm sorry for your head-crushing.
16:59Aye, you're welcome any time, mate.
17:02Is Steph going to be okay?
17:04Yeah.
17:05Lie down, do good.
17:06She's, um...
17:08Well, as I said.
17:10Yeah, of course.
17:11Take it easy.
17:16So?
17:17That was okay?
17:19Was I a good buffer?
17:21I think you need to work on your non-verbal signals.
17:23Me taking out the rubbish.
17:27Who died and made you king?
17:29You can lift a bin bag, you know.
17:31Yeah, just it would have been nice to have some time alone with them, and you leaving the house would have given us that.
17:37Well, sorry.
17:38I'm guessing I didn't sell it when you were at the bin, then.
17:43Nothing useful.
17:45Maybe there's nothing to find out.
17:46Hmm.
17:49So has Gabby moved out now, or what?
17:52Well, she moved all the things, so yeah, I think I'm never going to see her again.
17:55Yeah, I know, but it's like your sister's left, isn't it?
17:58Okay, Gabby might be many things, but she's not my sister in any way, shape, or form.
18:04No.
18:07Hi.
18:08Hey.
18:08Just, uh, something I hate.
18:10Well, I'm sorry to hear.
18:12In the meantime, me and Lucas are going to do some penalty practice, so I'll see you later.
18:21Billy's good with Lucas, isn't he?
18:23He's good with all the kids.
18:25What's your point?
18:28It's just going to be difficult for you when you have to make your decision.
18:31Okay, I have told you you need to drop this.
18:32There is no decision.
18:34You can't even look me in the eye when you say that, can you?
18:37Look, I get it.
18:40Yeah, Billy is stable, and he's dependable.
18:44But I can be dependable, too.
18:46And the longer you take to make up your mind, the harder it's going to be.
18:50For everyone.
18:58How is she?
19:00She's okay.
19:01She's watching a film, so I'm guessing lunch wasn't too traumatizing.
19:06How'd she think it went?
19:07I think we did a relatively good job of seeing me normal.
19:12Whatever the hell normal is.
19:15Did he buy whatever story you told him?
19:17Oh, yeah.
19:19The thing is, I might have sailed a bit closer to the real story than you'd like.
19:27I told him that the reason you got pregnant by someone else was because you were avoiding going home,
19:33and that was because Anthony was violent.
19:35That's all I could think of.
19:39As cover stories go, it's close to the truth.
19:45Don't know how you feel about it being too close.
19:46If you're not happy, I'm sorry.
19:51Actually, with Jay, I was a bit closer to the truth than you were.
19:55What?
19:57I told him the abuse was sexual.
20:00Why?
20:01Because I needed to put him back in his box, and it worked.
20:04He was completely contrite.
20:05But what if him and Joe talk?
20:07Well, they're going to compare notes about the nature of the abuse I suffered.
20:11And even if they did.
20:13So what?
20:14If you want, you can speak to Joe and tell him what I told Jay.
20:20No.
20:22No, we don't need to do that.
20:24Well, then we can just let this drop.
20:26It's dealt with.
20:27Okay?
20:27Noah, can't seem to get rid of you today.
20:45I'm only joking.
20:47Yeah, I'll come for a drink.
20:49Just, uh, there's a couple of issues at work right now.
20:52Yeah, some things just don't really make sense.
20:55No, I'll get to the bottom of it.
20:59Just need to do a bit of digging so there's no loose ends.
