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
00:48go. And I told you I'm in this with you.
00:55Good morning.
00:56Time to rise and shine. Oh, delish, lovely. Not breakfast yet.
01:01Oi, don't eat your apple.
01:03What? You want a bite?
01:04Sorry, 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?
01:14Yeah, uh, good. Ice cream for breakfast, dinner and tea, so good hands. How are you doing?
01:20Yeah, man.
01:21Have 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.
01:29I've made sure of that. I've taken John on to help out.
01:32Moira.
01:33Oi, that was my brilliant idea, thank you very much.
01:35Moira!
01:38Call the doctor, now!
01:44Something smells gorge.
01:46Yeah, um, biscuits for my, uh, church club.
01:51Ah.
01:53Uh, Amelia?
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.
02:06No, 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.
02:18She lied about killing Tom's baby.
02:19Whoa! No! She terminated her pregnancy.
02:23Yeah, and she lied about it. And you're saying that she don't lie?
02:26Not about this. Amelia, I get that Tom has been charming and kind to you, but he is dangerous.
02:36Tom is. Tom who's never been locked up for killing someone, or not been 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! At least Tom actually treats me like a grown woman.
02:53I actually trust him. I trust him. He'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 he hid to protect her! And once he moved on and he met me, she starts crying abuse!
03:07To protect you!
03:08No, because she's jealous!
03:09Wow. God, 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.
03:23Mum?
03:25Are you okay, Mum?
03:26I don't know what to do.
03:29Why is this going on?
03:31Your children are alright, Moira.
03:34All taken care of.
03:37You've had another seizure.
03:39You're coming out from it now. Nothing to worry about.
03:45Tell them that.
03:48Is it my house guest cleaning up again?
03:50Looks like it. This one was what we call a generalised seizure, or tonic-clonic seizure.
03:57Is it bad?
03:58He just switched off for a couple of minutes.
04:02We will look at increasing your anti-epileptic medication to 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.
04:20Coming up with a plan to tackle your...
04:24What did you call it?
04:27A house guest.
04:29He's the star of the show.
04:32The specialist will be along to advise you later.
04:37Well, I am not having you lot gawping at me until then.
04:42Well, I'm not shifting.
04:45Well, you two reckon you've got the boys and the farm covered, so...
04:50go cover them.
04:52Please.
04:53Okay, Mo.
04:54Alright. Well, see you later.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Love you.
04:58Love you too.
05:07Just really love to know what you've got planned for your birthday this week, so call me back.
05:12I miss you.
05:13Sweetheart.
05:16Hi, Nicky.
05:17That's one of my lovers.
05:18Yeah.
05:20Sent me to voicemail.
05:23Come here.
05:29Is that Jay again?
05:30Again?
05:31Yeah, he called when you were showering. Desperate to know if you'd raised any cash yet.
05:35It's no big deal. Just a slight glitch.
05:37Is that what we're calling him now? How fitting.
05:41How are you holding up?
05:42Yeah, pitchy.
05:44Kept waking up.
05:46Choking on smoke.
05:47That's alright. It wasn't real.
05:52So what are you all for today?
05:54A bit of indulgence, a bit of hercule-dercling.
05:57I'm making words up.
05:58No, it means lounging in bed for as long as I want.
06:00Hmm.
06:01You coming?
06:02No, no, I can't.
06:03Jay needs his 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 skydiving at?
06:20I'm not my sister's keeper.
06:23Oh!
06:24Should've robbed you blind.
06:27Security cameras would've busted you.
06:31Here.
06:33This a bad time?
06:35When isn't it?
06:37Trace, you alright?
06:40No, it's just texted. He's made it to Shetland.
06:43That's bad.
06:48Settling in.
06:50Head's a mess.
06:52Don't call me. I'll call you.
06:55When I'm ready.
06:57That's cold.
06:58Arctic.
06:59Call him anyway.
07:00Oh, I've tried. It went to voicemail.
07:04I mean, I'm the one who sent him packing, accusing him of all sorts.
07:08No wonder he won't shut me.
07:13Vanessa, get us a bottle of wine.
07:15On it.
07:24Hey!
07:27Have you seen Amelia?
07:28Hmm. Much to her disappointment.
07:31Well, 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. She 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 it far too many times in the shelter.
07:45We need to tread carefully.
07:47Oh!
07:50I've got it.
07:53Oh, dear. Fighting with lipsticks and tampons.
07:56You alright?
07:57Here, apparently.
07:58All I need is a lion to get over nearly dying in Inferno.
08:03How are you on this fine day?
08:06Actually, I'm in need of a cuppa.
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?
08:21Thanks, Mackenzie, for going to get some fresh clothes and some proper food for us.
08:28Moira.
08:29Oh, Mr Chowdhury.
08:31This is Miss Green, the neurosurgeon I said is on your case.
08:34My very own neurosurgeon. Lucky me, eh?
08:37Are you ready to discuss your options?
08:39Please.
08:41You will need surgery at some point.
08:44How long till you can get her in?
08:46The preferred option is to try and control your seizures with medication first.
08:51Well, why not just get it out and be done with it?
08:53That is an option. You do have that choice.
08:57We consider it is safer to try to reduce the risk of seizures around surgery first.
09:04How long will that take?
09:06To get the best therapeutic dose, a few weeks.
09:11Then...
09:12Then you get her in for surgery?
09:13Later finish, man.
09:14We would do an interval MRI scan in a couple of months.
09:18Months? You just said a few weeks.
09:20Keen, let me hear what she has to say. You're not helping.
09:25The scan would give us information about the growth rate.
09:28Well, you said try and control my seizures. What if you can't?
09:32There is no guarantee that these seizures will settle.
09:35I'll still need to have the surgery.
09:38And we'll have waited all that time and given it a chance to grow and get worse.
09:43This option we typically call watch and wait.
09:47It is considered the safest option.
09:49That's a ticking time bomb she's got in her head. She just wants to wait to see if it gets worse.
09:53Keen, can you listen, please?
09:56Keen!
09:57Keen!
09:59I can't see. Go after him.
10:03I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. He's just...
10:05Just to be clear, Moira.
10:07It is absolutely your choice what treatment we pursue. You decide.
10:16What the hell was that?
10:24All right, I'm coming. I just needed a breather.
10:26No, you're not. You're not seen like this.
10:28I'm OK now.
10:32Get out of my way, Mackenzie.
10:33No.
10:35Whoa! What's going on?
10:37You go back in there, she's only going to fret about you.
10:40She will worry that you're going to throw another selfish tantrum because you're too weak to handle it.
10:46I'm not going to throw another selfish tantrum.
10:48She will worry that you're going to throw another selfish tantrum because you're too weak to handle it.
10:54She needs to know what she's up against. How can she do that when she's too busy worrying about you?
11:01Caleb, can you take your brother home, please?
11:03Keen, we're all struggling here, but this is the start of what Moira has to deal with.
11:10Do you want to do right by her?
11:11Yeah, always.
11:12Always?
11:14Good.
11:15Then get a grip and be better.
11:25If you were gulping that much and you were a bloke, I'd have clobbered you by now.
11:28I'm trying to work out how you go from boobless one day to fully boobed the next.
11:35Padded bra.
11:37All my tops are from before the op, so, well, no pad, no fit.
11:41All right. What, you're too cheap to buy new tops?
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.
12:03Oh, it's all right.
12:04No, it's not. It's Eves.
12:06Yeah, well, 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 and you can't even pick up the phone.
12:17Nicky.
12:18I suppose we did leave things in a bad way.
12:21What's this dad's excuse for not caring?
12:24Caleb cares.
12:27I told him I was having nightmares.
12:31He took off.
12:33Scolding his minions and running after your brother are bigger priorities than me.
12:42Dad, I 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.
12:52And Mackenzie's with her.
12:53Yeah, well, it should be me.
12:57I went through the same with mum.
12:59Just stood by it and did nothing, let it happen.
13:02I can't do that again.
13:08What are you doing home?
13:09Well, 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.
13:28Look, 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?
13:41Fine.
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, here she is. Pull up a pew.
14:25Didn't stop you from talking about me.
14:27No tap.
14:28Oh, give all that.
14:29We were just nattering about...
14:31you.
14:32Busted.
14:34Cos 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.
14:44For airing her lies.
14:46What happened to being innocent until proven guilty?
14:49Oh, Amelia, please stay.
14:51No. No, I'm sick of the lectures.
14:53We're on your side.
15:01We're on your side.
15:03We are?
15:05Don't feel right indulging her ignorance.
15:08All she wants right now is for Tom to come back.
15:11Well, he won't, if he knows what's good for him.
15:13But what if he does?
15:14If we push her too hard, she'll shut us out.
15:17And then she will be isolated and vulnerable to him.
15:21She'd be in serious danger.
15:24Oh, thank God.
15:26I thought you were going to try and feed me more dishwater.
15:28Eh? It's the best coffee for miles.
15:31If you turn your nose up at that, then this ain't going to be up to standard.
15:34No, I won't.
15:35You're less likeable by the day.
15:37I'm growing on you.
15:38Come on, give it to me.
15:40I almost got burnt to a crisp.
15:42Cheap card.
15:44Here, look.
15:46Oh, what are you doing here?
15:48I am bonding with my second least favourite sister-in-law.
15:51You've been bumped up.
15:53She's coming to dinner tomorrow.
15:55I am?
15:59I am, yes.
16:00But I've got Kyle and Isaac staying, so if I'm less than fresh...
16:04Then you'll be no different to usual.
16:06So I take it you haven't been searching high and low for me, then?
16:09No, I've been checking on Cain.
16:11Myra's home.
16:13They cut it out already?
16:14No, they want her to live with it and see how it goes.
16:17And how did Cain take that?
16:18Yeah, about as well as you'd expect.
16:20Oh, that's the last thing we need, him spiralling a basket up there.
16:22No, no, don't.
16:24Myra sent me a mack packing.
16:25She wanted to talk to him on her own.
16:27Wow, a 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?
16:49Well, if I was her, I'd walk away too.
16:53What 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?
17:01Oh, 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.
17:07Who's telling?
17:08Would you really have uprooted Frankie
17:10and moved your entire life to Scotland?
17:14I 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.
17:28Well, 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,
17:50and you start over.
17:53I hate starting over.
17:55Yeah, we all do.
17:58Ruby, just stand on, will you?
18:00Come on, wait. I'm sorry.
18:03I have been head-butted,
18:05held at gunpoint, shot at,
18:07knocked out, almost burned to death,
18:10all thanks to Myra,
18:11who I can't even be mad at because she is doolally and sick
18:14and it is heartbreaking what she is facing.
18:17Yes, it is.
18:18It is, yeah, but I'm here, your wife, your supposed everything,
18:21not sleeping, not coping.
18:22Well, you're not.
18:23Of course I'm not.
18:24Well, you seem really strong.
18:25Strong doesn't mean I'm not struggling or important.
18:28You're the most important thing in my life.
18:30Where were you today, running after your brother again?
18:32Yeah, cos when he spirals, he needs someone to talk him down.
18:35He has got loads of people to do that.
18:37I have you.
18:38I only have you, and you don't care.
18:41Of course I do, I just don't want to think about it.
18:46How close I came to losing you.
18:51Who am I without you?
18:52A waste of space.
18:56You need to step up and be the one I can lean on.
19:01I will, Ruby.
19:03I love you.
19:05Stop being needy.
19:08SIGHS
19:22PHONE RINGS
19:26Will you stop calling?
19:29I'll protect Ruby from you with everything that I've got.
19:32Are you listening to me?
19:35Look, you're a liar.
19:40All right, then, tomorrow I'll be there.
19:43If only to put your six foot under me self.
19:48It really is your choice to have the surgery.
19:51Just...
19:52..choose the surgery.
19:54Now.
19:55When it was me, you begged me to have surgery.
19:58For you, there was no other choice.
20:00That aneurysm was going to kill you.
20:03Mine won't.
20:05But it almost did.
20:06Because we didn't know what we were dealing with.
20:09And I reckon all the stress and confusion
20:12made it a far worse house guest.
20:14Don't do that, just...
20:15..laugh 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 it gets worse,
20:29then surgery will become more urgent
20:32and more risky.
20:33Is it?
20:36Because 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.
