00:29 I've never known anyone drink so much coffee.
00:31 Helps me maintain my sunny personality.
00:34 [CHUCKLES]
00:35 Oh, look who's decided to join the land of the living.
00:38 Can I just have my coffee in peace, please?
00:41 That might be difficult. There's no more coffee or we're out.
00:43 [SIGHS]
00:44 Do you know, there's two bathrooms in this house
00:46 and none of them are ever free when I want to use one.
00:48 And now I can't even get a cup of coffee.
00:50 It's a joke.
00:51 Morning.
00:52 Nate, just in time for breakfast.
00:54 Oh, thanks, but I've got to work.
00:55 Office ain't going to open itself.
00:57 We out of coffee? I can get some on the way back.
00:58 You're a guest. You don't have to buy anything while you're here.
01:00 Right, Caleb?
01:01 Yeah.
01:03 Look, you guys have been amazing.
01:04 You know, putting me up, feeding me, but
01:06 I don't want to overstate my welcome.
01:07 Don't be silly. You're family.
01:09 Why are you smothering him, Ruby? He's not a kid.
01:12 He can make his own decisions.
01:13 I've got a couple of viewings later.
01:15 Hopefully I'll get lucky.
01:16 I'll see you later.
01:17 See ya.
01:18 Why didn't anyone tell him the truth before he got his heart broken?
01:23 Him and Tracy are just not compatible.
01:25 Only within five minutes of meeting them.
01:28 Right.
01:29 What's going on?
01:31 And don't fob me off this time.
01:32 Nothing.
01:34 Nikki?
01:36 Nothing.
01:38 Right. Good.
01:40 Now that's settled.
01:41 Now I'm off to the cafe to get myself a coffee.
01:43 Something's going on.
01:46 Just don't want to tell me about it.
01:47 It's okay. I'll figure it out.
01:49 Here. I thought you could do with one.
01:55 Oh, Christo.
01:57 Did you hear that? She called me a star.
01:58 If she ever tries to deny it, you're my witness.
02:01 Been up all night.
02:10 Get to bed. I can keep Ivy company.
02:11 No. If I go to sleep now, I might not wake up till midnight.
02:13 I'm just going to push through.
02:15 She's lucky to have you.
02:18 She's why I had a small conversation with Gus.
02:23 Ivy clearly loves both of you.
02:26 And she doesn't need any more disruption in her life, so...
02:29 I proposed we co-parent.
02:33 I'm sorry. You're angry. I should have spoken to you first.
02:36 Thank you.
02:37 Well, I mean, don't thank me. At least not yet.
02:41 You said you'd think about it.
02:43 What is there to think about?
02:44 This is the perfect set-up for Ivy.
02:46 She gets the best of both worlds.
02:48 Yeah, I mean...
02:49 He knows that we want what's best for her.
02:52 He just needs a bit of time to wrap his head around the whole thing.
02:54 I thought of not spending any time with her.
02:56 That's not going to happen.
02:58 Right, that'll be Gus. I know it's not easy, but try not to push.
03:02 Hiya, come in.
03:08 Hi. Not too early, am I?
03:11 No, no. She's had a bath, had a bottle, drank it all.
03:14 Hey, sweetheart.
03:16 Have you been a good girl for Rhona and Marlene?
03:23 Hey, look. Look, it's your bunny.
03:25 Hey.
03:28 She likes it if you just rock her a little bit.
03:31 You're so good with her.
03:38 Well, you will be too. You just need a little bit of practice, that's all.
03:42 Lucy was the natural.
03:47 She would have been such a good mum to...
03:53 Yeah.
03:54 I love you too, and I cannot wait to see you next week.
03:59 Okay, bye.
04:01 Dad says hi.
04:03 Hiya, Beck.
04:04 Aw, he's sad he can't come to our church rehearsal later.
04:07 You okay?
04:09 Yeah.
04:11 I know that you wanted Jimmy to be your best man, and I know that's disappointing.
04:15 I'm okay. I promise.
04:20 Wedding plans coming along nicely?
04:22 Yeah, especially after we've cut a few things.
04:25 No bridesmaids, no groomsmen.
04:28 It's not because I turned down the offer of best man, is it? I'd feel awful.
04:34 Course not.
04:35 Bella and I are just doing things a little differently.
04:38 That's all. Focusing on what's really important.
04:40 And just everything with Nate and Tracy, you, Nicola, Bob, we just...
04:45 didn't feel a need for a massive celebration.
04:47 But it's your wedding day. You're supposed to do what makes you happy.
04:50 We are happy.
04:51 Oh, wait till you see what gems I've got for the wedding.
04:56 That's my cue.
04:58 Right. Get ready to scream for joy.
05:02 Well?
05:05 That is beautiful. It's just...
05:09 Look, I know what you're gonna say, right?
05:11 And you don't have to officially ask me.
05:14 Yes, I will be your maid of honour.
05:17 Mandy...
05:18 If you have chose Lids over me...
05:20 No, I've not chose Lids.
05:22 Because I've not chosen anyone.
05:24 Because me and Tom have decided we are not gonna have any bridesmaids or groomsmen.
05:29 What? Where's all the fun in that?
05:32 Well, the fun will be at the Sten tomorrow.
05:34 The Sten? Is a stag in it?
05:37 I know what it is. I just can't work out what's worse, that or a wedding with no bridesmaids.
05:41 Mandy, the most important thing's still happening, OK? We are getting married.
05:45 And that is all I need to make my day special.
05:48 All right? I'll see you tomorrow.
05:50 We'll see about that.
05:59 Oh! Great.
06:02 Perfect.
06:05 Are you OK?
06:08 Yeah, I've just spent ages doing that and it's a riot mess now.
06:14 Sorry.
06:15 No need to apologise.
06:17 What's the latest?
06:19 Frankie keeps asking when Daddy's coming home.
06:22 Oh, no. What did you tell her?
06:24 That he's still at work.
06:26 She's buying it for now, but I'm gonna have to tell her the truth soon enough.
06:29 It's gonna break her heart.
06:31 Have you and Nate spoken about how you're gonna do it?
06:34 We can barely talk to each other without breaking into some sort of argument.
06:39 All I wanted was for Frankie to have a better childhood than mine.
06:44 And I've messed everything up.
06:46 Hey, Tracy, look, I know it's hard, but you're doing the right thing.
06:50 Frankie doesn't need to see the tension between the two of you.
06:53 How about I pick her up from nursery, give you a chance to straighten your head out?
06:58 - Oh, my word, that's like a kid. - It's all right.
07:00 What were we whispering about?
07:02 - I should probably say. - No, no, wait, wait, wait.
07:04 I'm glad you're both here. I owe you an apology.
07:07 I was out of line the other day. I really shouldn't have behaved the way I did.
07:11 Was I a bit too enthusiastic with the wine?
07:14 Sure. But that's no excuse.
07:16 I'm gonna be around for a bit, and I really don't want any bad blood between us.
07:21 Can we start over? Please?
07:24 - Sure. - Can I phone?
07:27 - Brilliant. - I need to go.
07:29 - Yeah, I'm OK. - Oh, that poor girl.
07:32 - She'll be fine. - I don't doubt it.
07:36 I just can't believe Nate would cheat on her again.
07:39 - He hasn't. - She cheated on him.
07:42 I never said that. And if you want to make amends, Ruby, you should back off.
07:49 It's gonna be all right.
07:55 - The visit from the youth justice. - How can you be so sure?
08:00 We're good people. They're gonna see that.
08:03 What if they don't?
08:06 I'll be right with you.
08:08 Actually, I was hoping that I could speak to the both of you.
08:12 I spent the whole night thinking about your request.
08:16 I prayed about it.
08:18 What request? What are you talking about? What's he talking about?
08:22 Erm, Nicola asked me for a character reference for Angelica.
08:26 I thought you knew.
08:28 Oh, right. The council business that you were on yesterday.
08:33 I'm sure she's a lovely kid and I'd love to help you, but...
08:40 providing a reference for her, it just feels wrong.
08:46 - Why? - Because I don't know her.
08:50 And it would be wrong of me to pretend that I did.
08:54 Especially with a big case.
08:57 I'm sorry.
08:59 - What were you thinking? - I was trying to help her daughter.
09:07 - By harassing the vicar? - Well, I was desperate.
09:11 They're gonna send her away for goodness knows how long
09:14 and no-one is gonna help her, certainly not Bob.
09:17 - What would you have me do, Jimmy? - Don't, don't, Nicola!
09:20 I don't know!
09:24 I don't know!
09:26 It's OK.
09:34 You really don't have to miss work. I could take her in the car with me.
09:41 She does get a little bit cranky if her afternoon nap is disturbed.
09:45 Plus it's a slow day in my diary and Paddy's covering for me, so...
09:51 She's really taken to you and Marlon, hasn't she?
09:54 Well, we all adore her.
09:57 Marlon told me about your conversation yesterday.
10:03 About co-parenting. Did you have a chance to think about that?
10:07 Oh, erm...
10:09 - It's not in detail now. - It could be seamless.
10:12 She could sleep at yours three nights a week and then at ours twice.
10:16 Consecutive nights, of course, so as not to disturb her routine.
10:21 - And weekends? - Yeah, we could do alternate
10:25 and, you know, discuss holidays nearer the time.
10:28 - You've really thought about this? - Because I just want what's best for Ivy.
10:32 - So do I, I mean. - Well, then we're on the same page.
10:36 Gus, this could really work.
10:38 Just in time! You know how I hate drinking on my own.
10:47 Oh, I've got a meeting with Dad. I just came back to get a couple of things.
10:51 Fine, I'll just stay here on my own, drinking alone, like something society rejected.
10:57 Well, there's lots of stuff to do around here. I'm sure you can find something to amuse yourself.
11:01 - I looked. There isn't. - I've still got to go back to work.
11:05 Aaron entered Moira and Tracy earlier. Tracy was quite upset.
11:12 Well, she, um... she just split with her husband, so I guess that makes sense.
11:17 Yeah, I figured that. And being the compassionate person I am,
11:21 I told Moira that Nate was wrong for cheating on Tracy.
11:25 Imagine my surprise when she said that Tracy was actually the one who cheated.
11:29 - What, Moira told you that, did she? - Not in so many words.
11:34 You wouldn't happen to know who the homewrecker was in this picture, would you?
11:39 - It's all news to me. - You sure?
11:42 - I don't know anything about Nate and Tracy's relationship. - Let me put it differently.
11:47 It's your father having an affair with Tracy.
11:50 So, is your dad the bad guy in Nate and Tracy's love story?
12:07 - That's insane. - Is it? One minute he's investing in her business, the next he isn't.
12:11 Then he doesn't want Nate asking Tracy questions about their split. It's a bit odd.
12:14 He's just looking out for him. Nate would have probably gone crazy if Dad hadn't have stepped in.
12:19 - And the business stuff? - Well, sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't.
12:23 - That's just how it goes. - Oh, Nicky, you expect me to believe that?
12:26 Yes! OK? I know Dad can be reckless at times, but he wouldn't have an affair with somebody in the family.
12:32 - Are you sure about that? - I've lived with them all this time.
12:34 - I think I know them better than you. - If he's making a fool of this family...
12:37 - You! You mean? - What's the difference?
12:39 Nate and Tracy broke up because they're not compatible.
12:42 You even said so yourself, so can you please just drop this?
12:45 - As soon as you tell me what you were arguing about last night. - Seriously?
12:48 You! OK?
12:51 Dad thinks that you're here to cause trouble and he wants to kick you out.
12:55 - What? - Yeah. He didn't like the stunt you pulled at lunch the other day.
13:02 He can't kick me out. I'm here for you. You're my family.
13:06 Yes, and I love you being a part of my life.
13:09 But do you really think I'm capable of keeping a secret like this away from Nate? Hurting him?
13:15 I'm sorry. Nicky, I'm sorry. I know you wouldn't do something like that to him.
13:20 Mind if I join you?
13:31 I know it's a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
13:35 Are you all right?
13:39 My family's falling apart. And it's all my fault.
13:42 I know it seems like that. But I promise you, that's not true.
13:49 My dad cries today. He never cries.
13:54 I know how you feel.
13:58 - How could you? - Well, I was about your age when my dad died.
14:04 I didn't know how to feel about it.
14:08 One minute I was so, so angry. And then the next I was just scared.
14:15 - I'm scared. - Hey, you're braver than I ever was.
14:20 You made a terrible mistake, but you owned up to it. There's not many people that can do that.
14:25 Think of your mum. Hey, she's a pretty scary lady.
14:31 So, if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, just think, ask yourself, what would mum do?
14:40 You don't need to worry about your mum and dad. I'll look after them.
14:44 And I'm here for you too.
14:47 Come here.
14:51 Come here.
14:53 Rona tells me you've been discussing schedules for Ivy.
14:59 - Yeah, she's shared some thoughts. - It's a really good schedule. I'm flexible, of course.
15:04 Just let us know what's good for you and we'll work around that.
15:07 Such a lucky girl, Ivy. All this love for her.
15:12 - Yeah. - Maybe we should do a trial run next month, see how Ivy takes to it.
15:19 No. You've all been really good with her and I appreciate it, but I think maybe we need to take a step back.
15:27 I thought we were on the same page.
15:30 I'm moving to France and I'm taking her with me.
15:36 I was starting to think you were a no-show.
15:45 I went to my mum at the house. She kept asking me about you and Tracy.
15:49 What did you tell her?
15:53 Well, she kept pushing me about what's going on.
15:56 But don't worry, I lied to protect your secret.
16:00 - Looks like you didn't do a very good job. - All right.
16:03 Didn't know you were joining us.
16:06 I did some exploring like you suggested and I may have found somewhere.
16:11 Yeah?
16:14 There's a Thai place in Houghton with a decent menu.
16:17 Do you guys want to join me for dinner?
16:21 - Erm... - Look, Mickey and I had a good chat and he's reminded me about what's important, which is quality time with family.
16:30 I'm just trying to do that.
16:32 - That sounds like good advice. - I've got a movie with Sonny tonight.
16:37 - But you two could go without me. - No, no. Sorry, no can do.
16:42 I've got a lot of admin at the office with my name all over it.
16:44 Another time.
16:46 If anything else comes up, can you let me know, please?
16:49 Cheers.
16:51 - Hey. - Hey.
16:54 - Are you all right? - Really?
16:57 Just being polite.
17:00 - Where's Frankie? - She's at Moira's with the boys.
17:05 She's really missing you, though.
17:08 I didn't exactly get a say in moving out, did I?
17:11 Look, if we can't be civil, maybe we shouldn't talk.
17:15 You're right, I'm sorry. I miss her, too.
17:19 You know, taking her to nursery, tucking her up at night.
17:22 But I'm looking for a place of my own, so things should be better soon.
17:26 - You moving out of Caleb's? - Yeah, I get the feeling I've overstayed my welcome.
17:30 - Sorry. - It is what it is.
17:33 - So have you found anything you like? - Tons.
17:37 All of them were outside my budget.
17:40 Well, hopefully something will come up soon.
17:43 It's nice to see you.
17:46 Actually, while I'm looking for something else to come up,
17:50 - there's a love of home I can go back to. - What?
17:53 Why should I move out? Look, you broke up this family, not me.
17:57 Nick, we're splitting up. We can't exactly live together.
18:01 Then you move out. Or stay. Either way, I don't care. I'm moving back home.
18:05 Come.
18:06 Is Angel at home?
18:11 She was supposed to meet me when her school closed early for teacher training, but she was an ho-sho.
18:16 She's upstairs.
18:18 Is she okay?
18:20 Yeah, she saw you when you were upset in the cafe. That's why she left.
18:26 - I'll go talk to her. - No need. She's fine.
18:29 - Thanks to your nephew. - Tom?
18:32 Apparently, he's made us see things differently.
18:35 She says for the first time since this whole thing happened, she's not so scared anymore.
18:40 What did you say to her?
18:43 Whatever it was, we owe him a big thank you.
18:46 I don't understand. You just agreed to co-parent.
18:52 - You agreed, I didn't. - I'm trying to do what's best for her.
18:55 - And I'm not. - Maybe we should take this conversation back to the house.
18:59 - I agree. - No, no, no, no. We're talking about this right now.
19:02 France will be great for her.
19:04 Right. And what do they have over there that we don't have here?
19:07 She'll get to spend time with her grandparents.
19:09 They can tell her all about her mother.
19:11 Listen, it's important for me. She knows who Lucy is.
19:14 - Was. - Well, they could visit. Here.
19:17 How long? They're not going to be as mobile in a few years.
19:20 We could video call them. Ivy could go and visit on holiday.
19:23 It's not the same, is it, as watching her grow up.
19:25 Having her there will help them heal.
19:28 And me being with her at Lucy's parents will be good for me, too.
19:31 Look, I don't want to sound ungrateful for everything you've done for us,
19:35 but I'm her father. And I'm taking over now.
19:39 This is the best decision for Ivy.
19:43 And this is the part where I ask if anyone's got any just cause
19:50 why Tom and Belle should not be lawfully wed,
19:53 to speak now or forever hold your peace.
19:57 I can't let you do this.
19:59 - Jimmy. - What?
20:01 This is the most important step in your life.
20:04 Once you've taken it, there are no re-dos.
20:07 Oh, no, I didn't mean...
20:10 What I'm trying to say is, your wedding,
20:13 it's a big day for both of you.
20:15 And it should be perfect, with all the fuss and frills you can imagine.
20:23 So, yes. Yes, of course I'll be your best man.
20:27 Jimmy, you...
20:30 You don't need to do this.
20:32 I completely understand your situation.
20:35 After what you did for our angel,
20:38 it's the very least I can do.
20:41 Thank you.
20:51 You look smart. You'll have to meet Sonny.
20:53 Oh, come on.
20:55 Don't tell me you're still sulking about telling your mum that little fib.
20:58 It wasn't a little fib.
21:00 I made her feel bad for doubting us and now she thinks I cheesed the problem.
21:03 She kind of is, depending on who you ask.
21:05 Is this all just a joke to you?
21:08 You sound like you could do with one.
21:10 Do you know what will happen if Nate finds out about you and his wife?
21:14 You've put this family through enough.
21:16 I think this will be the last straw.
21:19 Good job you're not going to say anything then, innit?
21:20 I wouldn't be so sure.
21:22 What does that mean?
21:25 I am sick of constantly lying for you.
21:28 Call me mum.
21:31 Tell her that you've changed your mind about dinner tonight.
21:34 Come on, make the effort. Keep her happy.
21:36 What if I don't?
21:38 I'll tell her everything.
