00:13.
00:14Woo-hoo!
00:15.
00:16Happy birthday.
00:17Yeah, well, it'd be a very happy birthday if it had to wear his stupid hat.
00:21Oh, shut up.
00:22A few weeks ago we didn't even know if you were going to be seeing your birthday.
00:25We're celebrating.
00:26Yeah.
00:27It's a shame this one's gone away on holiday.
00:28You know, your mum's taking us out to celebrate.
00:30I'll be using my credit card, so.
00:32Hmm.
00:33Well, I said we celebrate when I get back and I'll be in a better frame of mind then, I promise.
00:38Happy birthday.
00:39Oh, look at this.
00:41I'm getting spoiled here.
00:42Is that all you're taking?
00:44Usually back more than the Kardashians.
00:46I'm travelling light for a change.
00:48Rye can lend me anything I'm short of.
00:50Oh.
00:51It's the watch I had my eye on.
00:53Yeah, I went back to get it for you and I got it engraved.
00:56The world's greatest, Dad.
01:00That's beautiful.
01:01I love it.
01:03No.
01:04Coffee?
01:05No, thanks.
01:07Oh, do you want one of these pastries?
01:10That's your favourite?
01:11No, I'll get something in the airport.
01:13Tell you what, let's have a birthday selfie.
01:15Really?
01:16Yes, of course.
01:17Come on, get in.
01:18I'll even wear my stupid hat.
01:19No, I've got to get going.
01:21She has since you've been here on my birthday.
01:23Well, come on, Steph.
01:25I think it'll take a second.
01:26No, I just said no.
01:27You guys do it.
01:29I'm just going to call the cab.
01:33Ask for a pay rise.
01:34What, for doing the same job?
01:36Well, yeah, but if you've just turned down a job for better pay then why wouldn't you?
01:39I've got a wedding and a stag dude to pay for.
01:41Well, we could always skip that bit.
01:42It's not like your best man exactly approves of me.
01:44Look, it's not him you're marrying, is it?
01:46So you'll just have to suck it up.
01:47Hey!
01:48How are the two lovebirds?
01:50Better now the wedding's back on.
01:51Yeah, and I'm guessing the stag dude's up to me now, but don't worry.
01:54I've had some more ideas.
01:55No, Mackenzie's still going to be my best man, so he'll be helping you out.
01:58After he almost split the two of you up, he should be kicked off the job.
02:02Listen, he knows he was out of order.
02:04But if me and John are putting it behind us, then so should you.
02:07Fine.
02:08That's what makes you happy.
02:09Come on, we can go and brainstorm it in the cafe.
02:11I was just going there.
02:12Ugh!
02:13Is Matt coming?
02:14No, he's not.
02:15He's still working, so he just does grow up.
02:16Hey, look, you can debrief me later, all right?
02:17All right.
02:26You okay?
02:27Hi, John.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing really.
02:31I'm just trying to gird myself to go inside after what happened yesterday.
02:35Well, there's no shame in feeling anxious.
02:39Still no word on who attacked me.
02:41Police said they'd be in touch, but not holding out much hope.
02:45Well, you're safe as long as I'm here.
02:48If that helps.
02:50Thanks.
02:51Hey!
02:52I, er, got your message.
02:53Oh.
02:54Off to Sonny Capri.
02:55Yeah, well, I would be.
02:56The taxi was meant to be here five minutes ago.
02:57Oh, well, I was lucky I caught you then.
02:58Listen, I thought we should, erm, clear the air after the other day.
03:13Oh, forget it, erm, it's probably best nothing happened.
03:18Well, it doesn't mean that it can't in the future.
03:21I hope.
03:22Yeah, I hope so too.
03:23All right.
03:24Want to see it off?
03:26More's the pity.
03:28Passport.
03:29Have you packed it?
03:30You don't get very far without it.
03:32Oh, yes, obviously, it's in my bag.
03:34Hey, what do you think?
03:36Oh, my new watch.
03:40It's a birthday gift from his favourite daughter.
03:44Oh, well, happy birthday.
03:46Erm, taxi's here.
03:48Right, well, I'll help you with your bags.
03:50I know, I know.
03:51What a gent.
03:52Oh, er, what time's your flight?
03:54Oh, er, 1.45.
03:55Right, well, text me the number and I'll track it.
03:57And message us when you get there.
03:58Yes, I will.
03:59Stop fussing.
04:00I love you both.
04:01We love you more.
04:02Okay, enjoy Capri.
04:03I hope it does you good.
04:04Yes, I will, I promise.
04:05Bye.
04:06You settling in, okay?
04:08When you're thrown in the deep end, it's sink or swim.
04:10Lucky for you, I'm doing the latter.
04:12Splendid.
04:13Oh, I took the liberty of buying some herbal teas for the staff room.
04:17I thought a nice cup of chamomile might settle your nerves.
04:20Right, right, yep.
04:21Thanks very much.
04:22Er, how's the appointment list looking?
04:24Erm, I've got it in some semblance of order.
04:26Er, Manpreet's patient still needs slotting in,
04:29and Mrs Bradshaw's down as urgent.
04:32Right, well, best get cracking.
04:34Er, I can see her if you're not feeling up to it.
04:36Oh, no.
04:37Thank you very much.
04:38It's fine.
04:39Right, Mrs Bradshaw.
04:40You have to come through?
04:46Oh.
04:47Wasn't expecting to see you here.
04:49New receptionist as of yesterday.
04:51Frankie's run out of her skin cream.
04:53It's on repeat prescription.
04:55Erm, Manpreet usually sorts it out.
04:57She's on leave.
04:58Maybe John can do it for you?
05:00Yeah, sure.
05:01I'll, erm...
05:02I'll get to it now.
05:12Erm, how, erm...
05:14How is everything?
05:16Good.
05:18You sure?
05:19Sorry.
05:20Hey, hey.
05:21Do not apologise.
05:22Maybe I can help.
05:24It's just Frankie.
05:26She's missing her dad.
05:28It was his birthday that got her asking about him and now she won't stop.
05:40Sorry.
05:41Look, I've got some time before my next appointment.
05:46Why don't I sort out Frankie's prescription and make us both a coffee, eh?
05:50Hey.
05:53Hey.
05:54No, Jacob.
05:55Oh, he's just popped out the back.
05:56Right.
05:57Have you got a sec?
05:58Course.
05:59I can lose at Wordle and at the time.
06:01So, I've rang round a few clinics to ask about IVF.
06:05That was quick.
06:06What did they say?
06:07Erm, one in Leeds has offered me an appointment for a few weeks time.
06:10It's not cheap, but at least I'll find out if I'm suitable.
06:12Did you tell them about your Fanconi anaemia?
06:14Yeah, obviously.
06:15Well, let's hope they're not just taking your money.
06:18Well, even if it can't happen, it's fine.
06:20You know, I'll find out from someone who knows.
06:22What are you two gossiping about?
06:25Nothing.
06:26We're just having a catch-up.
06:27Yeah.
06:28You're plotting something.
06:29Go on.
06:30What is it?
06:31Sarah was just asking my advice.
06:32About what?
06:33Puppies.
06:34I'm thinking of getting one.
06:36You want a dog?
06:37A pug.
06:38Apparently.
06:39Excuse me.
06:40Not while you're living at mine.
06:41They're bound.
06:42Think of.
06:43I can hardly keep my head above water.
06:50Rent.
06:51Bills.
06:52Clothes for Frankie.
06:53Do you know, Nate hasn't given me a penny since he left.
06:58Can't be easy.
07:00He can hate me all he wants, but it's Frankie who's suffering.
07:05I can't keep lying to her.
07:08I packed up the rest of his things.
07:11So that she wouldn't be reminded of him, but she still keeps asking where he is.
07:17Well, it makes sense.
07:18Trying to remove old traces.
07:19I shouldn't be letting him off the hook though, should I?
07:22I should go up there.
07:24To Shetland.
07:25Track him down.
07:26Demand that he gives Frankie the support she deserves.
07:29If he's still there, I mean, he might have already moved on.
07:31Well, I can't carry on like this, can I?
07:33He is a rat who ran out on his wife and daughter.
07:35Looking for him will not solve anything.
07:37You deserve better.
07:40Frankie does.
07:43I know what it feels like growing up without a dad.
07:46I just wanted her to have a stable upbringing.
07:53And that is what you're doing.
07:54You don't need Nate.
07:55You're doing a good job without him.
07:57Not anymore.
07:58I'm overdrawn.
07:59I've maxed out my credit cards.
08:01I can't keep relying on Vanessa to bail me out all the time.
08:06Everything's just too much.
08:08You're not alone.
08:10You have confided in me and how I can get you the help you need.
08:16Like what?
08:17Well, have you thought about talking to a counsellor?
08:19It's not financial assistance, but at least it'd be a safe space for you to process what you're going through.
08:25I can get you a referral.
08:27Talk to Liam about it.
08:29If you agree, that is.
08:32That could hurt, can it?
08:34If you think it'll help.
08:36That's worth a try at least.
08:37My pressure's fine.
08:40If you wouldn't mind stepping up onto the scales for me.
08:44Oh, I skipped breakfast, like you said.
08:48Any drinks?
08:49No, just water.
08:51That's fine.
08:52You can step down now.
08:54And is anyone with you today?
08:56No, just me.
08:58So, who's collecting you later?
08:59Oh, um, my parents have arranged a cab for me.
09:02They're actually aboard at the moment, so they booked me a nice hotel.
09:05That's good of them.
09:06I'm sure all my patients had family like yours.
09:08You really don't.
09:10Now, I just need to make a few marks on your nose ahead of surgery.
09:18And then you'll need to sign a consent form, which I'll go and fetch from the reception while you're getting into a gown.
09:25Any further questions?
09:26Nope, just keen to get it over with.
09:28Yeah, I won't be long.
09:41We've got the place to ourselves for once, and it's your birthday.
09:44Yes, I know.
09:46Just give me a sec.
09:49Steph's given us the wrong flight number.
09:51It says here that the next flight going to Naples isn't until 7 tonight.
09:57Did she say it was 1.45?
09:59Yeah.
10:00Let me give her a call.
10:01See what's happening.
10:04Maybe she's flying from Manchester.
10:06No, it's Leeds.
10:08Oh, I can't have phones off.
10:10Where's the laptop?
10:11Ah.
10:15You'll need a password.
10:19Is she giving it to you?
10:21Exactly.
10:22What's the type it?
10:24Caleb, whatever happened to respecting her privacy?
10:27Well, I don't want her hanging about the airport half the day, do I?
10:31Yes, we are in.
10:36Check her emails.
10:38Can't see her flight confirmation.
10:42What's that?
10:45We have booked you an appointment for rhinoplasty.
10:48She's having a nice job.
10:51Was today?
10:53So, going to see if Ria was alive, when did she arrange this?
10:56I don't know.
10:58Right, well, we need to get there.
11:00I'll stop it.
11:22Oh, hello.
11:23She's got a couple of house calls to make, and then I'm going to take her an hour for lunch with her to go with you.
11:28Yeah, of course. You're the boss.
11:30Oh, um, Tracy popped in. We had a chat about how much she's struggling.
11:34All right. What did you advise?
11:36Well, I was going to make a counselling referral, but I said I'd speak to you, obviously.
11:40Well, I trust your judgement. You just feel free to go ahead.
11:43Well, unless you want to assess her as well.
11:46No, no, not if you have. I've got every faith in you.
11:48Hmm.
11:51Wow, someone looks happy. Have you just got a pay rise or something?
11:54Better than that. I am being given more responsibility at last.
11:58Oh, it was a good call then, turning down that other job.
12:00Yeah, apparently so.
12:02It's been eight again.
12:04Needs me at the scrapyard.
12:05Hey, how's the stag do, shaping up?
12:07Yeah, it's looking good. I'll tell you about it later. See you in a bit.
12:09Yep.
12:11You, um, you couldn't do me a favour?
12:14Depends what it is.
12:15Well, I spoke to Tracy earlier.
12:17She's got herself in a state about Nate going AWOL.
12:19Reckon she can't cope without him.
12:20Understandable.
12:21Well, you're a single mum too. You manage it.
12:23Yeah, but it's still not ideal.
12:25Yeah, but you're doing it though. That's what matters.
12:26Maybe you could talk to her.
12:29Give her a bit of moral support. Tell her she can manage without him.
12:32If you think it'll help.
12:33Well, I'll tell you what.
12:34Why don't you grab yourselves a bottle or something, take it round to hers, put the world to rights.
12:40Where's all this come from?
12:41Well, there's no reason. Just, just being a friend. That's all.
12:45A hero more like.
12:47Well, consider it done.
12:54How long is the surgery going to take?
12:56Two to three hours on average.
12:58Now, consent form, I just need you to have a look and be aware of any potential complications.
13:03Yeah, no damage, um, bone infection, no reversible asymmetry.
13:07I've done my homework and I'm happy to go ahead.
13:11You're sure?
13:12Serious complications are extremely rare.
13:15Oh, thank God.
13:16I'm sorry, I tried to stop them.
13:17I'm going to call security.
13:18No, it's all right, we're at mum and dad.
13:20Uh, what are you doing here?
13:21We're stopping here.
13:22I thought your parents were abroad.
13:24That's what she told you?
13:25This is highly inappropriate.
13:26I'm sorry, how did you know I was here?
13:28When your flight time was wrong, I went to your laptop.
13:31You did what?
13:33Steph, you are rushing into a nose job.
13:35Don't you think you should have told us?
13:36No one's rushing anything.
13:38Your daughter's been booked in properly.
13:40We met yesterday to discuss everything at length.
13:42I'm satisfied she's passed all the checks.
13:44So you know why she's doing this?
13:46Yes, she explained.
13:47About her biological father?
13:48Stop!
13:49Um, this is, er, confidential.
13:51You're nothing like him, Steph.
13:53Perhaps you'd better discuss this amongst yourselves.
13:56No, no, no, no.
13:57There's no need.
13:58Steph, please.
13:59Just hear us out.
14:00Ten minutes, then I really must be getting on.
14:10You, you cannot talk me out of this, so don't even try.
14:14Oh, hey.
14:15I can take them for you, thanks.
14:16Thanks.
14:17Cheers.
14:18Probably Bill's, no doubt.
14:19Surprise!
14:20Oh, hi, Vic.
14:21Are you busy?
14:22Just thought I'd take you fancy sharing this.
14:23Oh, sharing?
14:24Day I'm having, I could flippin' murder it.
14:25I'll take that as he is.
14:26What's it an aid of?
14:27Full disclosure, John suggested that I call round, and he paid for the bottle.
14:28He's on some mercy mission to support a single mum's.
14:29Bless him.
14:30He's a good man, isn't he?
14:31It's nice to know they still exist.
14:32Unlike Nate, you mean?
14:33Cutting off his daughter without a word.
14:34I kind of manage that.
14:35Not the kind that you need.
14:36I do, though.
14:37That's the problem.
14:38No, you're doing good.
14:39No, you're doing good.
14:40I'm doing good.
14:41I'm doing good.
14:42I'm doing good.
14:43I'm doing good.
14:44I'm doing good.
14:45I'm doing good.
14:46I'm doing good.
14:47I'm doing good.
14:48I'm doing good.
14:49I'm doing good.
14:50I'm doing good.
14:51I'm doing good.
14:52I'm doing good.
14:53It's the kind that you need.
14:54I do, though.
14:55That's the problem.
14:56No, you're doing fine.
14:58Yeah, things are a bit tight money-wise, but you're still getting by.
15:01Better skin on my teeth.
15:02Well, could you find a better paying job or some evening work?
15:05Gabby might have something at the hide.
15:07It's not just money, though.
15:09It's Frankie.
15:10She needs her dad around.
15:11She misses him loads.
15:13Well, she'll get used to it.
15:16Yeah, everything that she needs, Trace, just like I am for Harry.
15:19And if I can do it, then so can you.
15:22This is our fault.
15:24We knew you were thinking about having surgery.
15:26We should have done something straight away.
15:27I'm guessing Aaron told you.
15:30Great.
15:31I now can't trust him, either.
15:32He was worried about you.
15:34He said you'd had a meltdown.
15:36He said...
15:37Well, he said you hated yourself because you think that you look like Anthony.
15:41Yeah, well, I do.
15:42He's there every time I look in the mirror, and I need it to stop.
15:45Well, this isn't the way to stop it.
15:46Well, I'm a freak, for God's sake.
15:48Can't I understand how disgusting and dirty I feel?
15:51Oh, Steph.
15:52Of course I understand.
15:54I've carried those feelings for over 30 years.
15:56I know how painful it is.
15:58What he did to me, and what I did to him, haunts me every day.
16:03But surgery isn't the answer.
16:05I'm not stupid.
16:06I know it's not going to solve everything, but at least it's a start.
16:08You don't need it.
16:09Dad, you have no idea.
16:10Look, I don't care if you hate us for stopping you doing this,
16:15or you need to trust us.
16:17Please, Steph, we are begging you.
16:20I take it you've had time to resolve things?
16:23No.
16:24No, we're not done yet.
16:25Yes.
16:26We are.
16:27I'm going ahead.
16:28You can't operate.
16:29You can see that she's not thinking straight.
16:31She's acting out of trauma.
16:32Don't you dare.
16:33Her mum was raped and fell pregnant with her.
16:36She has only just found out she wants to have the operation
16:38because she thinks she looks like the man that did it.
16:40That's not what I was led to believe.
16:42He's lying.
16:43I hate my nose because I was bullied about it.
16:45That is not true.
16:46Clearly there's deeper issues here,
16:48and given what I've heard,
16:49going ahead with the procedure would be unethical.
16:51You can't cancel on me.
16:52I'm sorry, Miss Milligan, I know it's disappointing,
16:54but I assure you it's for the best.
17:01Ah, you're on your own, Billy, now, mates.
17:03Observant.
17:04I'll have a pint, please.
17:05Come on, I'm watching you in your nasty little world.
17:08Well, I know that Capri is an island now.
17:12Always thought it was a car.
17:14Steph's on her way there now.
17:15She's gone to hang out with an old schoolmate.
17:17What, and you didn't get in him right?
17:18Nah, she's gone to rest, get her head straight.
17:20Can't blame her for that.
17:22You're missing her.
17:23Catching the old fields?
17:24Yeah, of course you are.
17:26God help her.
17:27Aw, on the house, thanks.
17:31Look, I know I said I'd keep all this from charity.
17:33Yeah, so it's a problem.
17:35This morning in the shop,
17:36she could have busted us there and then.
17:38Right, well, there's nothing to tell her yet.
17:39So, erm, apart from your clinic appointment.
17:41Yeah, and what if nothing comes of that?
17:42I don't even know if I'm eligible for IVF.
17:44There's no point in telling her till I know for sure.
17:46But it's still a big decision.
17:48She's your gran, Sarah.
17:50You need to trust her.
17:51Please don't tell me you're still bleating on about getting a pug.
17:54She's persistent, I'll give her that.
17:56You know they're not toys.
17:57You need a lot of looking after.
17:58And?
17:59Oh, come on, Sarah, you're hardly the nurturing type.
18:02You can barely keep a cactus alive, let alone anything living or breathing.
18:05Right, and what if I'm more responsible now?
18:07Or maybe you're just still young and selfish.
18:10Right, thanks for the encouragement.
18:12Look, no wonder I never tell you anything,
18:13cos you write me off before I've even tried.
18:16Oh.
18:17Something I said.
18:19I mean, seven months without a word.
18:22We may as well not exist.
18:25Me, yeah, I can understand it.
18:27But Frankie, I thought he really loved her.
18:30Well, she's got this far without him.
18:32And that he's down to you, being a brilliant mum.
18:35It's not real though, Vic.
18:36It's all pretend for her.
18:38As soon as she turns her back, I fall apart.
18:41Yeah, but you've got Vanessa and Cain and Moira.
18:44They should be helping out too.
18:45I'm sick of asking.
18:47I feel like I'm just a drain on everyone.
18:49We should go out one night.
18:51Yeah, go for cocktails in Hotton.
18:53That'll cheer you up.
18:54I can't afford it.
18:55It's Frankie I need to be spending my money on.
18:58I mean, she's gone up her shoe size in a month.
19:00Nothing fits her.
19:02Have you thought about asking Chas?
19:04Maybe Eve's got some stuff that she could pass on,
19:06or you could put an ad on socials.
19:09What, begging for second-hand shoes?
19:11Well, Frankie won't care, will she?
19:13Cuddles and attention.
19:15That's what matters.
19:16And you give her those in spades.
19:17I know, but I still want to be able to treat her to nice things.
19:21You know, do stuff together.
19:23Well, we could take home and Harry's swimming again.
19:26Or just go for a walk.
19:28You know, it doesn't need to cost anything.
19:30Sorry for being a misery.
19:32No, you don't need to apologise.
19:34You've got this, trust me, okay?
19:36How dare you humiliate me like that?
19:39We were trying to protect you, that's all.
19:41Oh, you mean, control me, you mean?
19:42I mean, I had a way to fix myself, and you just took that away from me.
19:45That's not the answer, Steph.
19:46You need to heal every time.
19:48And what, and you think trapping me here's gonna help that?
19:50Whoa, whoa, no-one's trying to trap you.
19:52Yeah, well, that's how it feels.
19:53You don't own me.
19:55You might have stopped me and got your own way today, but it's not over.
19:57If I want surgery to change how I look,
19:59I mean, there's nothing you can do to stop me.
20:07She's right.
20:09We can't stop her.
20:10And the harder we push, the more she'll hate us for it.
20:13Well, we still have to try.
20:14It won't work, Caleb.
20:16She needs proper support, therapy, counselling, whatever it takes.
20:20What, and run the risk of her spilling everything about Anthony?
20:22She's our daughter.
20:23If you and I can't help her, we need to find someone who can.
20:25She just needs to listen to us.
20:27That's all.
20:28Right.
20:29We will sit her down, tomorrow, and talk her out of this surgery stuff.
20:34Things will get better.
20:36I-I promise you.
20:44Yeah, hi.
20:45Um, it's Steph Milligan.
20:46I have a brow lift booked in for a few weeks, and I need to bring it forward.
20:51And I was just wondering if you could fit me in.
20:54Yeah, yeah, no, as soon as possible, please.
20:57Listen, I best get off.
20:59Need to put a wash load on, need to get the house straight.
21:02Ah, you and me both.
21:04Just shout me if you need anything, yeah?
21:07Er...
21:08A miracle might help.
21:09Ah, not that good.
21:11See ya.
21:12Save it.
21:13Thanks.
21:14Ahem.
21:15Mm...
21:16Ahem.
21:17Ahem.
21:18Ahem.
21:19Ahem.
21:20Ahem.
21:21Ahem.
21:25Ahem.
21:26Ahem.
21:27Ahem.
21:28What do you feel my pain?
21:30Oh...
21:31...
21:32Ahem.
21:33Ahem.
21:34Ahem.
21:35Oh, oh, oh, oh.
21:36I'll see you next time.
