00:00What did that little girl ever do?
00:19To live a life of losing everything she ever loved.
00:23She didn't do nothing.
00:24She just wanted someone to love her.
00:27To care for her.
00:30To pin her drawings on the wall.
00:35And I'm sitting here.
00:38And I'm still alone.
00:41And out there, a light.
00:45And behind the windows, little girls are being tucked up by their mummies.
00:52And told stories and sung to.
00:57And they feel happy.
00:59And safe.
01:03And wanted.
01:06And I'm still here.
01:08And I have to go out that door and face the world.
01:12And everyone I see has got someone.
01:17The worst part is seeing them complaining.
01:22And fighting amongst themselves.
01:24And they don't know what they got.
01:26Morning.
01:40Morning.
01:40Morning.
01:49Sleepy beauty.
01:52Have I been down here all night?
01:53Well, I'd have to try and wake you up.
01:55Oh!
01:57Oh, thanks at the time I'm doing the caffeine, Arthur.
02:00Are you sure that's a good idea for yesterday?
02:03I'm sure it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
02:05I'm not senile yet.
02:07Sorry, Mr Leeson will kill me if I have any more time, Mum.
02:20We ain't taking all this.
02:22Of course we're not.
02:23I'm putting all this in the garage to get it out of the way for them.
02:26Oh, you really don't have to do that, Sonia.
02:27This is your hand.
02:28We'll just keep it warm for you.
02:30Yeah.
02:31I can't believe we're doing this.
02:33I've felt sick all morning.
02:35You know what?
02:35Fear is good.
02:37It means you're up for the challenge.
02:39Right, I'm off to see Lily.
02:41I said I'd spend some time with her before we leave.
02:43Yeah, don't forget the Albert later.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Oh, really?
02:45Now, I don't want a big fuss.
02:47Oh, well, tough.
02:48Because that is exactly what you're getting.
02:51We heard back from everyone except Bianca.
02:53Yeah.
02:54She'll be there.
02:55Yeah.
02:57All right.
02:58So you're just going to let her go, yeah?
03:02What's the matter?
03:02What's the matter?
03:03How did you do that?
03:10Terry done it.
03:12He said women like me deserved it.
03:15Yeah?
03:15You need to tell Sonia.
03:17Hmm?
03:17Because if he can switch like that, she needs to know.
03:19She won't believe me.
03:21She think I'm just saying it to make her stay.
03:22You need to tell her, and you need to tell her now.
03:28Look, I'm not stopping.
03:30I'm just checking with Elaine as the numbers for the Albert later.
03:32Oh, yeah.
03:34Oh.
03:35That's Jamie.
03:37I never really knew him.
03:39They're the lovely kids I heard.
03:40Hmm.
03:41The only one Phil didn't screw up.
03:43Feels like a lifetime ago.
03:44There's someone I won't miss.
03:50Elaine's not a fan, you know.
03:51She says she's allergic, but she don't like him.
03:55Maybe you could have him for me.
03:57Oh, please, Kath.
03:58I mean, he feels safe with you.
03:59You know, he knows your voice, doesn't he?
04:01Well, I suppose it's the least I can do, yeah.
04:04Right, well, I'll pop in to see Elaine, and I'll see you over the Albert later.
04:07All right.
04:07She's just in the lounge with the baby.
04:08Okay.
04:09All right, Kath.
04:12Parrot's sorted.
04:12Son, you can't do this.
04:16Oh, was last night just an act, was it?
04:18Listen to me.
04:19No, no, no.
04:19Let me guess.
04:21Is he a mass murderer?
04:22Is he Lord Lucan in disguise?
04:25Last night, me and Terry, we had words, and I called Mum, and then when he saw her calling
04:34me back, he got physical with me.
04:38Terry did that.
04:46Did you hurt my sister?
05:03What?
05:04Just answer the question, did you or did you not attack her?
05:07Oh, I grabbed her arm, but just to stop by giving me a right hook.
05:10I'd have ripped your head off if I could.
05:12So he was just offending himself.
05:13He weren't just angry about you phoning Mum?
05:15Er, no, no, you should have heard the things he was saying, Son, about me, about us, about
05:22women like us.
05:23Don't fall for it, Sonia.
05:24Look, in a couple of hours, we can be on that plane.
05:26Don't let her get in your head.
05:29I need to think.
05:31Where are you going?
05:32Just look after the baby.
05:33I need to be on my own.
05:34I warned you.
05:40Just drop dead.
05:42It's a shame last time I said that.
05:43It actually worked.
05:51Oh, she's back.
05:54I thought the birds stopped singing.
05:56Is there any way to talk to your boss?
05:59Nice time.
06:00Well, you know what they say.
06:02Break's as good as a rest.
06:03I, er, could have come back to better news, though.
06:07These gym sessions with my son, they end.
06:11Now.
06:12No.
06:13No, me and Teddy, we've got an agreement.
06:15Oh, well, I'll agree it, then.
06:19Unless, of course, you've got another visit from my friends.
06:21It's got an idea.
06:23Your friends don't work on me no more.
06:27If you want me to stop seeing Barney, you're going to have to tell him yourself.
06:31Oh, that's him now.
06:32I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all sorted.
06:37You'll know where to find us.
06:38I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:39I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:40I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:41I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:42I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:43I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:44I'm going to be late, so, er, that's all I'm going to have to tell you about this.
06:45I don't know how you swung this one.
07:14You said I couldn't see you today, that I'd have to wait for weeks.
07:17Well, did you put in an order, so I wasn't having it?
07:20You know me, son.
07:21Always know the right strength to pull, but you're going to have to get a move on.
07:23I booked a spa treatment at three, you know, I'm going to get my nails done.
07:29And you missed me.
07:32If I had ever ignored my mother like that when I was your age, I'd have got a slap around
07:45my head side and no dinner that night.
07:47I'd like to see her try.
07:51How come you were so hot for your mother?
07:57Are you any good at folding sheets?
07:58No, my mom just froze them all in the cupboard.
08:01It's time you learned.
08:02Give me a hand.
08:04Right.
08:05Find the corners.
08:11Right.
08:14Now make it nice and straight.
08:19Right.
08:24Good.
08:27I used to do this with my grandmother.
08:31One of life's simplest pleasures she used to see.
08:36Freshly washed sheets straight from the line.
08:39Yeah.
08:40I do like fresh bedding, to be honest.
08:42Well, maybe now you can teach your mother how to fold them properly.
08:45That would mean she would actually have to listen to what I want for a change.
08:50Well, is there a problem at all?
08:54No.
08:57I mean, sort of.
09:01Yeah.
09:06I got in trouble a few weeks ago with the police.
09:13I see.
09:15And does your mother know?
09:18Yeah, she knows.
09:22The police, they...
09:25They thought that I had drugs on me.
09:27Oh, I...
09:29But I didn't, though.
09:31They searched me.
09:33Like, they really searched me.
09:36And how they searched you, Avani.
09:51Was it in an appropriate manner?
09:57According to them, it was.
10:07But they made me get naked.
10:11I beg your pardon?
10:13I had to take my clothes off in front of strangers.
10:19And I didn't even do anything wrong.
10:21I didn't...
10:23Now I just keep thinking about it all the time.
10:26Shhh.
10:27Shhh.
10:30It's okay.
10:33It's okay.
10:35I've got you.
10:42Something funny?
10:43Are they?
10:45Just...video.
10:47Pranks of that.
10:51You boys know my son, right?
10:53Barney Mitchell.
10:55Yeah.
10:57We know him.
10:59Then you'll know he's been at the gym lately, trying to get buff.
11:01Barney!
11:02Between you and me,
11:04Zach thinks he could do with a bit of encouragement, you know?
11:07Mates cheering him on from the sideline, that sort of thing.
11:11Yeah.
11:12He can do that.
11:14Good.
11:15He's in the gym now, actually.
11:17You know, if you're not busy.
11:19I mean,
11:20don't tell him I told you, but
11:22he's dead set on trying to win over that Barney girl.
11:25He likes a Barney.
11:26Oh, look at me.
11:28Embarrassing mum.
11:35Mum's the word.
11:37Yeah?
11:38There's no thing.
11:39It's gone.
11:40It's gone.
11:41It's gone.
11:43It's gone.
11:44It's gone, please.
11:46It's gone, please.
11:51Those things first, and most importantly,
11:53Isy Bear looking at me.
11:55to me. I'm kidding. Of course he ain't. So, you believe me, Agade, you don't think she's making
12:02up? No, I believe her. Well, then there's your answer. So what, just scrap building a relationship
12:08with my dad? I mean, what, what if he was defending himself? And regardless of where
12:14I go, Aroo with, do you really blame me for wanting to get away? So, you're saying about
12:19your dad. This is about you leaving Walford and not for some extended holiday you'll think
12:26about going for good. That is my home. Oh, not a place, son. It's there, isn't it? You want
12:37someone's permission, and you want wine. Why me, Agade? Why this old jail book? Well,
12:49I suppose you're the closest thing I've had to a father figure since Helen. Don't get
12:55me wrong, he was great, but, you know, I've spent my whole life watching people doing things
13:00with their real dads, when I've never had a clue who mine was. Those few months when I
13:07thought it was you. I finally knew what it was like.
13:10Oh, you. You're going to make my mascara run. My old mate, God bless him. He'd give me two
13:27pieces of advice, son. I've always stuck. Good decisions come from experience, but experience,
13:33when it comes from bad decisions, a lot of learning, because it never stops. And the
13:40second? It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Foof us away. Whatever happens
13:50from you keep in touch, yeah? Of course I will. Make sure you look after that parrot. He knows
13:57all my pen numbers. That's it, Barty, mate. Go on. Go all the way up. Good, good, good.
14:04Two more, two more. Push. Go on, mate. Sorry. Sorry? What are you talking about? We go to failure,
14:12and that's what you did. Well done. Well, I reckon my mum can lift more than that.
14:16Hey, what are you doing? Put that phone away. What are you doing? Don't worry, I got the
14:20shot. What are you filming me? Well, how else is it funny? You're going to know you've
14:23been bulking up. She won't tell from them mums. Phone away now. Get out the gym. I thought
14:28you wanted an audience for him. Let's cheer him on, aren't we? Are you sure invited?
14:32Of course I didn't. Hey, look, he's about to crack. Get that on video, quick.
14:35Frankly, nothing. Barn, what are you doing? Barney, where are you going? Barney, mate! Get
14:42us out of the gym!
14:58So, how do you know Sonia? Oh, er, er, no, since she was a little girl. I
15:04um, Claire was, er, best mates with her back in the day. Oh, right. Um, about yesterday.
15:13No, no, no. I get confused sometimes. That's always nothing to worry about. Oh, it's okay
15:19to not be okay, you know. I'm bipolar. And my daughter's bipolar too, so, um, out of all
15:28the many things that we've learnt, um, we learnt that, er, keeping things bottled up and, er,
15:35pretending that everything's okay doesn't really work out in the end. So, um, if, if, if, if,
15:41you'd like to talk to someone, well, you know where I am. Thank you. Do you think she'll
15:52mind having her leave and doing a gay bar? You're kidding, innit? Your cousin Sonia, well,
15:58she's got form with the ladies. Yeah, she did that before it was trendy. Did it? I don't think
16:03you can say that, Moe. I just did. In the way, where is she? The champagne's getting warm.
16:10Oh, did you see it? Yeah.
16:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
16:16Unless he's not making a fuss. Would you think we let you sniff off without giving
16:20you a send-off? Oh. Ah. And Phil's playing for the drink, so I'm getting me Maysworth.
16:24You've changed your tune, now there's a free bath. I'm just messing, all right? And,
16:29about the other day, I'm sorry. I overreacted. An apology from you and Bill?
16:35Mm. I'm having to go.
16:38Champagne to the ready. Toast incoming, yeah?
16:42Saw sense in the end, then? That's my girl.
16:45Well, come on, then. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!
16:51Er...seriously, I don't know what to say.
16:56Thank you, you know? All of you.
16:59And not just for this, but...
17:02Well, for supporting me in the last few months.
17:05And years. Some of you, even decades.
17:10If it takes a village to raise a child, then...
17:12Well, there's definitely a few of you in here who've put the hours in.
17:16Yeah, well, it's time well spent, if you ask me.
17:19Come on, everybody! To Sonia!
17:21Sonia!
17:23Sonia!
17:27Oh, hold on a sec. I won't be a minute.
17:30Oh, imagine.
17:35Bianca!
17:37Why don't you come in? Have a drink?
17:39Sonia, you can't go. There's something not right about this.
17:43Don't give up, do you?
17:45Listen. She's me sister. She's just looking out for me.
17:49Anyway.
17:51I've made my mind up.
17:53I am gonna go away. Just not with him.
17:55What?
17:57You are joking. I mean, it's all sorted.
17:59We've made plans.
18:01Yeah, I know. But my plans have changed.
18:03It was a very kind offer to me.
18:04All right? And even you suggesting it has made me realise what I need.
18:08And it ain't Warford right now.
18:10So I thank you for that.
18:12I'm gonna go and stay with Whit for a bit.
18:15You know, get some clarity.
18:17And then decide where we're gonna settle.
18:19But it won't be Randy.
18:21Sonia.
18:22I'm handing you all this on a plate here.
18:25My mind's made up.
18:27And you.
18:28You'd do anything not to end up on your own, wouldn't ya?
18:31Even if it makes everyone else unhappy.
18:33You are just like your...
18:35Go on.
18:36Why don't you finish that sentence?
18:37Just like my mum?
18:38Yeah, well at least I know now.
18:40All those years ago when I walked out on ya.
18:42Yeah. I made the right choice.
18:44You're nothing but a bunch of freeloading chavs, the lot of ya.
18:47You wanna say that again?
18:49Oh, what's this? The lynch, mum?
18:50Why don't you stay around a bit longer, Terry?
18:52And maybe you'll find out.
19:09I'm really sorry, son.
19:12I know how much you wanted that to work out.
19:14Yeah.
19:16Well.
19:19It's lost, isn't it?
19:22Why don't we go and have a little drink in there, alright?
19:25I'll meet you back at home.
19:36They were just, like, picking on me and laughing.
19:39Oh, son.
19:40One of them filmed it and they know that I like it.
19:42I've got you.
19:43I've got you.
19:44Who does something like that?
19:46Come on, mum.
19:48I've got you.
19:50I've got you.
19:56I know you're feeling sorry for yourself, but anything but that.
19:59Thanks very much.
20:01Did you nip that from the party?
20:03No, it was on the ass.
20:05Oi!
20:06The money for the flights.
20:07I want it back.
20:09Well, yeah. I mean, if that's all you worry about, you can have your money.
20:12You're really not bright, are you?
20:14It's not about the money.
20:15I come back here to make amends to prove I was a nice guy.
20:19So you didn't come back here for me at all?
20:21This has always been about you, hasn't it?
20:23I wish I'd met a fortune teller back in the eighties.
20:25I would have not gone with your mother and the world would have been spared from the oxygen-breathing waste!
20:29You don't want to break them from breathing waste.
20:30Are you kidding?
20:31Ah!
20:33Ah!
20:38Oi! Oi, let me out!
20:41Sonja!
20:43We should probably let them out.
20:45Yeah, probably.
20:47Maybe we should give him time to calm down first.
20:50That's a good idea.
20:52You weren't very happy about those tickets.
20:53Who needs?
20:55Asked me to print them earlier.
20:58We can't, can we?
20:59It's fest.
21:00Is it?
21:01Really?
21:02Probably Little Jackson, you, ain't ya?
21:03Well, you said your goodbyes. You packed your bags.
21:06What about you?
21:07What about me?
21:09Someone's gotta be here to let him out.
21:10Can't stand the man, but I've been where he is.
21:13Come on, come on, come.
21:14We've got four tickets.
21:16Oh, it's...
21:17His name's on the ticket.
21:19We can pay for a name change.
21:22What?
21:23Come on.
21:25Really?
21:28Alright?
21:29I can't pack this stuff.
21:31Hey, shut up, you!
21:33We'll let you out eventually when you'll be quiet.
21:35You need a bit of time in there to think about your behaviour!
21:46Just got your text.
21:49You had the change of form.
21:50You have a very brave girl here.
21:54Are you going?
21:56Your mum will take things from here.
21:58Tickets are one thing, but man-frapped auto!
21:59Oh, it's fine.
22:00Listen, it's a hired car.
22:01He was gonna leave it at the airport anyway.
22:02And the boat?
22:03We'll leave that here.
22:04That's a Terry problem.
22:05So, you are going then?
22:06Yeah, well, you know.
22:07They've had a bit of an upgrade on their companion, Jean.
22:09You know what I mean?
22:10George, do me a favour.
22:11There's a really angry man in that garage round there.
22:12Would you just wait at least about three hours before you let him out?
22:16Understood.
22:17A bit terrible.
22:18You know, cos I was only at the party for two minutes.
22:19Don't think you're gonna do a French exit on my watch.
22:20This is your party, darling.
22:21Drink it in.
22:22I miss you.
22:23You've got to be male.
22:24And you, you old tup!
22:26Don't start me off on my scoural run.
22:27Hardly.
22:28Put that on with the child there.
22:29I'm not a man.
22:30You're all��framed.
22:31I'm not a guy and that young guy.
22:32I'm a cat.
22:33I'm not a cat.
22:34Just my cat.
22:35I'm not a cat.
22:36I'm a cat.
22:37I don't know.
22:38No, this is a cat cat.
22:39I just
22:42don't know what to say.
22:44I would've never seen.
22:45And Ivan.
22:46I would've never seen a cat.
22:47hype oh my cat.
22:48And what?
22:49Do you really want to see me?
22:50Hey, nice!
