00:00Clio!
00:03Clio!
00:07Don't let the door, Clio!
00:14Clio!
00:30Please, don't leave me, Cleo!
01:00Hey, Nancy! Hey!
01:21Well, I just had my first meeting with the Governor's and I can confirm it was every bit as boring as I thought it was going to be.
01:27Well, I can cheer you up, cos your husband just got to level three of his French app.
01:33Mon orange peut marcher.
01:36Your orange can walk?
01:38No.
01:39I'm glad you've had a productive day, dear.
01:42Tea?
01:43Yeah, I tried to ring Leah on the way home. Obviously, no answer.
01:47Nancy, she's just had a baby.
01:49No, I know, but what are we supposed to say to Charlie?
01:52You know, you might be a dad, but we're not sure yet, so if you could just bear with us.
01:56He's perfectly happy in his trade school bubble.
02:00And he appreciates that Leah's got a lot on her mind. Her dad's just come out of a coma.
02:04That's true. I hope Steve's okay.
02:07Hey! Aren't you meant to be doing a shift at Price Slice?
02:11Yeah, I am. This is an illusion.
02:14Are you hungover again?
02:16No. I have a completely unrelated headache.
02:23Nancy, just take it easy on her, yeah?
02:26Do you think I enjoy always having to be the naggy one?
02:29Oi!
02:30She's on her third strike with Pearl. I don't want her to lose the job.
02:38Aaron, Nancy's right.
02:41I was never lenient with you when I caught you drinking as a teenager.
02:45Dad, don't forget what's hanging over all of us.
02:47In a few days, we face JJ in court.
02:50Now, you know what happened to Frankie in London. I don't want it happening again.
03:00Dad, I just really need to talk to you about a few things.
03:05I got into uni. I'm gonna do a degree in legal studies, just like James.
03:10It's a full scholarship and everything. It's just...
03:14My dad, it's insane to you.
03:17Look, we should stop. Stop.
03:21Can you give us a sec, please?
03:26You know, now that the baby's been born, I'm, um...
03:29I'm gonna be leaving in a few days.
03:31Yeah.
03:33I need you to really think about this.
03:36I have thought about this.
03:39I thought about this every day and night for months and it's...
03:43I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing or not.
03:46You know, it killed me not being able to talk to you.
03:51I didn't know if you were gonna wake up.
03:54I had to think of other plans. I...
04:00All I know is that this baby deserves parents who can raise him.
04:09And either that's gonna be this new family or that's gonna be you.
04:19Me?
04:21Yeah.
04:23Look, I've really gotta go, but just think about it, yeah?
04:30Hey! I'm just picking up a prescription for Jack, but...
04:34How are you?
04:36I feel like I'm living in a horror film.
04:39Yeah, you poor thing.
04:41And I'm so sorry about James.
04:45But, hey, you're a grandfather now.
04:48That's a bit of lightness in all this darkness.
04:51And, you know, Charlie and Leah, they got pretty close and I keep doing the maths and...
04:56You know, I think you've got enough going on.
04:59It's great news that Lucas is gonna get out of Young Offenders soon, yeah?
05:06He's what?
05:11Please tell me her message was a joke.
05:13Oh, no. My daughter here reckons she's moving in with your abusive, low-life brother.
05:17Oh, my days. Will you please just get off my back?
05:19I'm trying to get advice from my work friends.
05:21Er, about Abe?
05:23What has he done now? Don't even tell me he's been laying a finger on you.
05:26No! He hasn't!
05:29Fine. I saw one of Cleo's tops in his flat.
05:33So?
05:34So? Abe was already being weird and cagey about me being at his.
05:38And if her stuff is still everywhere, then it's obvious.
05:41He's not over her.
05:43See?
05:45There you have it.
05:47I mean, as if you needed any more proof that seeing him was a bad idea.
05:50Marie?
05:52Hmm?
05:53What do you think?
05:58I think you mean much more to Abe than just some rebound.
06:02What?
06:03Mum?
06:04Trust me. He's head over heels for you.
06:08Go talk to him. Go on.
06:10I will.
06:13Paz, wait. Seriously.
06:17Since when did you know they were seeing each other?
06:19Since I set him up.
06:26Mmm. Something smells good.
06:29Yeah. It's Frankie's favourite. I thought I'd treat her.
06:31Oh.
06:32Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me right now. I'm like a nervous wreck.
06:39Darren, I know you're worried, son.
06:41I'm not just worried, Dad. I'm in bits.
06:44I mean, if I feel like this, what about Frankie?
06:47What Frankie's gone through in London has taught us that
06:50it's no good running away from how you feel.
06:53She was in that big city all on her own and she just totally fell apart.
06:57She's trying to numb the pain of losing her mum,
06:59missing her friends and what her brother put her through.
07:02Hmm. Do you think that's why she's drinking again?
07:05I mean, she says she's having fun, but...
07:07I guess she's trying to block out what's coming up with JJ.
07:10And we're not doing her any favours by letting her.
07:13Right, I've got to go. I'm meeting a friend.
07:15Who?
07:16Oh, no one you know.
07:18But just think about what I've said, OK?
07:21Yeah. Thanks, Dad.
07:23Hi.
07:24Hiya, Frankie.
07:25Ooh, have you made chilli?
07:27Oh, that is just what I need.
07:29Come here, you.
07:31Listen, what Nancy said earlier,
07:35she was right, you know.
07:37What?
07:39I can't have you out boozing, OK?
07:43Why not, will you? That is supposed to be the fun one.
07:48SHE SIGHS
07:56Hello?!
07:58Hello, police?!
08:00Whatever she's told you, she's lying, all right?!
08:05Cleo?
08:08I'm sorry.
08:10Sorry, I don't know what to do.
08:12I've tried to leave and I can't, I can't, I can't do it.
08:15Please will you help me? I'm sorry.
08:34What are you doing?
08:36Do you need help? I can get someone.
08:39Me?
08:41You'd get me out here?
08:46For Lucas?
08:48Stay.
08:50You've only just woken up.
08:52You're nowhere near strong enough to leave.
08:55Lucas hasn't been alone, OK?
08:59Dylan's been by his side and so has Leela and so has Leah and me.
09:04How?
09:07All I know is he found out what JJ Osborne had been doing to poor Frankie
09:14and he attacked him.
09:20Leah...
09:24..wants me to raise her...
09:27..little baby.
09:30I can't, can I?
09:33If I could just...
09:35..have one minute...
09:37..with Dave...
09:39..Williams...
09:40He's long gone.
09:42..the people who helped him.
09:46Rex...
09:48..is evil.
09:50Would someone evil come and visit you almost every day for months,
09:54keeping you company, playing you music?
09:57Rex was here.
10:03Listen, I know Abe's your son,
10:05but if you think I'm going to forgive you for setting him up with my daughter...
10:08It's not like everyone you love's perfect, is it?
10:10I heard about Perrie being a bully when she was younger.
10:13Yeah, oh, and about your brother being a literal far-right racist.
10:16Right, well, Pez was a little kid.
10:18And as for Asti, do you really think I would have let him back into my life if he hadn't...
10:22What?
10:23..made amends, jumped through hoops to fix his behaviour and become a better person?
10:26Well, Abe has.
10:28Mum, Abe was abusive before he met Cleo.
10:31Yeah? How do you know he's changed?
10:33Because he used to phone me after every single therapy session
10:36and tell me all the awful things he'd learnt about himself,
10:38all the regrets he's got.
10:40So?
10:41I am a survivor too, do you remember?
10:44I'm not just looking the other way,
10:46but Abe is nothing like Mick, especially not now.
10:50Whatever.
10:53I'm so disappointed in you.
10:56You know exactly what it is like to be the worst version of yourself
11:01and still come back from it.
11:03When he fell back into heroin, we were all there to support him.
11:07Do you know what? Perrie and Abe are perfect for each other.
11:12And you two are just going to have to deal with it.
11:18I just keep thinking of Cleo.
11:20When she showed us the bruises.
11:24The fear in her eyes.
11:26I just... I can't let that be my little girl.
11:38Ah, a fellow bookworm, I see.
11:41I'm making my way through this doorstop.
11:45It's about oncology.
11:47What about you?
11:49Uh, fairy tales.
11:51It's for Lexi.
11:53Sounds much more entertaining than this.
11:56She's very lucky to have you.
11:59Miss Barr, I don't suppose you've spoken to Steve about me, have you?
12:05He's just sent me a text.
12:07I may have told him about how you've turned your life around this last year.
12:14Well, it's all thanks to you.
12:17I'm not pressing charges.
12:19Please. No thanks necessary.
12:24Well, I'd best go read another chapter of this page, Turner.
12:29I'll see you soon.
12:33Hey, why have you got a face like a dropped pie?
12:37Steve's awake.
12:39And he wants to meet up.
12:42Well, that's great.
12:43I don't know how long talking to someone in a coma.
12:45At least you can have a two-way conversation.
12:47Yeah, but I don't know what he wants.
12:49What about if he blames me for his husband dying?
12:51Rex, those bombs were not your fault.
12:54You told the police you tried to help, right? You're a good guy.
12:57Am I?
12:59Well, look, since you and I had the shock of our lives,
13:01I've actually realised that you've got a heart of gold.
13:04And if Steve's got half a brain cell, he'll realise that too.
13:07Yeah, what was it you said when I found out?
13:09Oh, yeah, you said...
13:11You were a deceitful little rat boy.
13:13To be fair, I thought all my family were dead.
13:15How was I supposed to know that the legendary Fraser Black
13:18had some secret love child hiding in plain sight?
13:21Look, text Steve. Find out what he wants.
13:24Trust me, big sisters know best.
13:30You OK?
13:35Listen, there's something I need to talk to you about.
13:40When I was here earlier, I saw Cleo's top over there.
13:46Oh, erm...
13:50Listen, OK?
13:53You are not a rebound.
13:55You are not a fling. You are not a distraction.
13:58I really, really like you, Perry.
14:02I really appreciate you understanding
14:04that I'm not ready for us to move in together.
14:08But it is not because I'm still hung up over Cleo.
14:12I'm just... I'm just finding it hard to get my head around
14:16the whole idea of me being able to be happy.
14:20Hey.
14:22Me and her, just...
14:25I always assumed that we were on the same page
14:28and then she'd do something out of nowhere
14:30that would make me question it
14:32or make me wonder if I was a terrible person or not.
14:38But you're not.
14:40You know, whatever mistakes you've made,
14:43you've got a good heart.
14:45Yeah, yeah, I know that.
14:49You're bleeding.
14:51Oh, yeah, I fell over when I was running earlier.
14:53It was just a graze.
14:54Show me.
14:55No, it's fine, honestly. It must have bled through the bandage or something.
14:57Abe, shut off. Nurse's orders now. Come on.
15:01Does it hurt?
15:02No, no, it's fine.
15:10It's fine.
15:20You understand why we've got to keep this between us two, don't you?
15:24Yeah, I guess.
15:26I have missed you, though.
15:28The foster home's so chaotic,
15:30I haven't even been able to kick a ball about.
15:32You look tired.
15:34Get some rest before the hearing, OK?
15:37How is Frankie?
15:40Darren, you ruined the chilli.
15:42What? No, I didn't.
15:43I made some controversial amendments to the recipe, actually.
15:48Hi, guys.
15:50Dad, please tell me this isn't who you snuck off to meet.
15:53Darren, I'll explain later.
15:55But I have to speak to JJ before the hearing.
15:58Come on, let's get Frankie inside.
16:05Are you not even going to look at me?
16:09Yeah, I'm looking at you.
16:12And do you know what I see?
16:14I see a pathetic little boy who will be locked up
16:17and then the rest of us can get on with our lives.
16:19Soon it'll be like you never even existed.
16:35Where did you go?
16:37What, did you need stitches at the hospital?
16:39Oh, do you care about me being injured now, do you?
16:41Of course I do. I am so sorry.
16:44What are you sorry for?
16:45What, are you sorry for the injury
16:47or are you sorry for breaking my trust?
16:50I just needed to see Mercedes.
16:52I just needed to see my family while she's sick.
16:54OK, and that's why you lashed out with the one person
16:56that's been by your side this whole entire time?
16:58No, that's why I came back and bandaged you up.
17:00No, no, no, you came back cos you felt guilty.
17:02No, I realise that. I'm not ready.
17:05Yeah, I can't cope without you.
17:07If I'd have gone out there in the real world on my own,
17:10I'd have been so overwhelmed.
17:12I mean, what use would I have been to Mercedes then?
17:14Please.
17:15No, don't touch me, Cleo.
17:17No, hey, please...
17:18I said don't touch me!
17:24Cleo?
17:36Hey.
17:39What are you doing out here on your own?
17:44Thinking...
17:46about James.
17:52I feel...
17:54so alone.
17:57Hey, you are not alone, OK?
18:01Do you want to know what I think?
18:06I think...
18:08James is up there...
18:11with Tegan...
18:13Dad...
18:16and little Noah.
18:19And I think that they're all really rooting for you.
18:25Did you know...
18:27there's a reason I don't have James?
18:31Why I wasn't there for Leo or Luke?
18:36Hey.
18:38What do you mean?
18:43Rex.
18:47He's out there...
18:50living his life...
18:53making himself feel better by visiting me.
19:00He's destroyed me, Leela.
19:05So I want to make him suffer.
