00:30Morning.
00:40Sorry, I'm making Moses a breakfast. He's got a holiday club.
00:46Oh, it's okay. Thank you.
00:50What time did you get back?
00:54Erm, I'm not sure. I don't think it's that late, to be honest.
00:57Really? Because I was up for a while and Sarah didn't come back either, so I'm guessing she stopped off at Jacob's.
01:06I need to go and see her.
01:08Er, yeah, but before you do, could we, er, could we maybe talk about yesterday?
01:15Yeah, listen, Mac, I'm so sorry.
01:21No, don't be.
01:24Er, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said those things.
01:28You meant it though, didn't you?
01:29When you said that it wasn't meant to be.
01:35It's not that I wanted it to happen, because I would never ever want that, ever.
01:38I was worried about how, how you'd react and how Sarah would react and how I would.
01:55Sorry, am I interrupting?
01:57No. No, no, no, you're, er, you're all good. Er, I'm going to leave you to it.
02:01No, Mac, wait. Please, come on, carry on.
02:07It just brings it all back.
02:10About what you went through, what we lost, and it hurts watching you go through it again.
02:18And now her heart's broken, and it's a lot, and I don't like it.
02:24Let me guess. Girl trouble.
02:34Sorry, I meant him.
02:41Unless you've got relationship troubles.
02:44Oh, give over. If only.
02:46Look, mate, if you want my advice...
02:54My advice would be to put the plate down and back off.
02:57Pronto.
03:06I'm not interrupting, am I? I know you're working.
03:09Hey, I know it's all right.
03:10You OK?
03:12Yeah, I mean, no.
03:13I mean, I really don't know what I mean.
03:17A letter came for you.
03:20OK.
03:22It looks important.
03:24Shammy.
03:27Yeah, it's from the court.
03:28I noticed that, too.
03:30I think it might be a divorce.
03:40Hey, you.
03:41Oh.
03:41Big night out.
03:44We wondered where you'd got to.
03:46Thought I'd celebrate being back on the market.
03:49Ah.
03:49Yeah, I'm sorry about Steph leaving.
03:53Caleb told me what happened.
03:55Oh, well, let me guess.
03:56It's all my fault.
03:59Look, can we talk about work?
04:02Now?
04:02Well, I wanted to last night, but...
04:04You know this contract that I've got with Celia?
04:09Well, things are still going to be tight for a while longer.
04:12And additional revenue might not hit for months.
04:16So?
04:18What are you trying to say?
04:18That I think it would be smart if you started looking for work elsewhere.
04:24You're sacking me.
04:26Did Caleb put you up to this?
04:27No!
04:28I'm not letting you go.
04:29I need you.
04:30I don't think I'll be able to give you the hours that you need.
04:36Listen to me harp on.
04:38How have I managed to make this about me?
04:40No, you haven't.
04:41Look, this is about all of us.
04:42And, you know, I've probably taken you for granted in all of this.
04:46Well, it's fine.
04:50This is probably a silly question, but are you okay?
04:55Yeah.
04:56I was actually coming to find you.
04:58I wanted to apologise for just walking out like that.
05:01I was awful.
05:01No, you weren't.
05:04I'm sorry.
05:05I let you down.
05:07No, you didn't.
05:07And you've got nothing to be sorry for.
05:10Because what happened wasn't your fault, and I never should have said it was.
05:12Well, look, I just want to let you both know that I will support you in whatever way I can.
05:22I swear.
05:24And you take your time, all right?
05:25And no wash.
05:28And you.
05:29No, no, no.
05:31I just want to make sure you're both okay.
05:33Yeah, we are.
05:34Aren't we, Gran?
05:37Gran?
05:39Apparently, two for one on the pizzas.
05:40Well, things are looking up.
05:50Hello.
05:51Gabby, you're back.
05:53Yeah, Mum spotted an earlier flight, so I thought I'd come home and surprise you.
05:57Um, where's Thomas?
05:59I've, uh, just dropped him at Laurels.
06:01Thought we could, uh, do with, uh, some alone time.
06:04Seeing as we haven't seen each other in ages.
06:06Yeah, well, you see, I'm, um, I'm meant to be going out.
06:08Oh.
06:09Yeah, I've got a meeting, but I didn't mention it, because I thought I'd be done before you even got on the flight.
06:13So, yeah, I can't cancel it.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:16I'm sorry.
06:16No, it's fine.
06:16You weren't to know.
06:18But I guess that means you won't be able to make the meeting with Belle and Charles later about the wedding.
06:22Sorry, another surprise, I know.
06:24It's just, I couldn't wait to get home and start finalising everything.
06:28I can't wait to marry you.
06:30Okay, well, I could cancel.
06:33Well, is this meeting important?
06:35I think so, yeah.
06:37Okay, well, you go.
06:38I'll be here when you get back.
06:40And then you can tell me all about your holiday, yeah?
06:43I love you.
06:44I love you too.
06:46Right, I'm gonna go shower.
06:47Smell like aeroplanes.
06:48Hey, this means he's gone now.
07:10Properly gone.
07:13Are you all right, sweetheart?
07:15I thought you'd be singing it from the rooftops.
07:17I'm happy.
07:20Truthfully, I am.
07:22It just feels too easy.
07:26I think I was expecting a fight.
07:29I thought he was gonna change his mind at the last minute, that he was gonna object.
07:33Because that's what he's always done.
07:35Pulling your strings, controlling you.
07:37But this, and you being sat here now, boss of your business, happy as Larry,
07:43you're proof that he doesn't have any control anymore.
07:46Only you do.
07:47And a black Americano, please.
07:54Sorry to hear about your Steph.
07:57She's not dead, Jimmy.
07:58She's gone travelling.
08:00Yeah, but I heard it wasn't exactly planned.
08:04Ooh, that's bad timing.
08:06If you'd like to grab a seat, I can bring it over to you.
08:08I can be around the woman.
08:10It's Ross, you can't be trusted.
08:12Is this how it's gonna be between us from now on, Ruby?
08:15Because I have told you, it was a one-off.
08:17Okay?
08:18Steph and Ross weren't even together.
08:21And if I'd known it was gonna cause this amount of trouble, I would never have gone near the guy.
08:24It's okay.
08:26It's okay.
08:26Sorry that it snapped.
08:29It's just that it took so long for her to come back to us.
08:33And I can't believe she's gone again.
08:38But I shouldn't be blaming you.
08:39Or Ross.
08:40What took you so long?
08:52I don't want anyone seeing I'm here.
08:54I was upstairs.
08:56And you'd be paranoid.
08:58People aren't gonna assume something's going on just because they've seen us together.
09:01No, I know, but you know what folk round here are like?
09:03They always assume the worst.
09:06So anyway, um...
09:08Yesterday shouldn't have happened.
09:10Yeah, no kidding.
09:12So let's just pretend that it didn't.
09:15I mean, that's the best thing to do, isn't it?
09:18I'm not lying, Charity.
09:19What?
09:21That's not why I asked you to come over.
09:24I, um...
09:25I think you need to tell Mackenzie.
09:29Grab us a ten-mail, will you?
09:30Yeah, on it.
09:34You all right, bro?
09:36Been better.
09:37Spoke some more, eh?
09:39Yeah.
09:40She said I should be out looking for work.
09:42So?
09:43How about it?
09:46Nothing going here.
09:47I mean, I've already got Cammie and Sarah on the books.
09:50Ten mil, yeah?
09:51Poor man.
09:52You do remember it's my name still above the door, don't you?
09:54Well, I must have forgotten to change the sign.
09:57Why are you being like this?
09:59You know why.
10:01Caleb.
10:03You'll want to talk.
10:05What's that supposed to mean?
10:06Well, how come you can sleep around and nobody says anything, yet I hook up with one woman
10:10when we're both single and suddenly I'm the devil?
10:13How does that work?
10:14Just remember whose house you're living in, yeah?
10:16Oh.
10:17You're threatening to throw me out now as well, are you?
10:19After Moira's already binned me off.
10:22Come on, Cain.
10:23I'm just looking for a bit of work.
10:25You know I'm good for it.
10:26Hey, look.
10:27You're done, you idiot.
10:31You're going to need that looking at me.
10:32I'll be fine.
10:33Just back off, will you?
10:42Saw that, did you?
10:44I could pretend I didn't.
10:47Would you let me look at that for you?
10:52Maybe Mac will understand.
10:54Would you?
10:55Did you, with Susie and Mary?
10:59Oh, that's not fair.
11:01That wasn't the same.
11:02I just mean...
11:03Well, maybe what they did, maybe that's clouding your judgement.
11:07Or perhaps it's made me see how important being honest is.
11:11Isn't that why you got mad with Mackenzie at the first place?
11:17This...
11:18This was just a one-off, right?
11:20You've not...
11:21Yes, of course it was.
11:22Why are you even asking me that?
11:24Oh!
11:25Don't make me go over how you and him first got together.
11:29Look, when Mackenzie cheated on you with Chloe, what was it that hurt the most?
11:34What he'd done, or the fact that he kept it from you?
11:39Both.
11:40OK, but at this point, there's only one of those things that you've still got any control over.
11:45Ness, he'll hate me.
11:47Yeah, and he'll hate you even more if he hears it from somebody else.
11:51Charity, these things always find a way of coming out.
11:53Oh, no, you're right.
11:54Of course you are.
11:55So, are you going to tell him?
12:00I think I need to.
12:02He's not going to forgive me for this.
12:04Hey.
12:22Hey.
12:23Hey.
12:24How are you?
12:24I was going to call.
12:27Doing OK.
12:28Stayed over with Jacob last night.
12:30Spent most of it crying.
12:32He's just out back.
12:33It'll be a couple of minutes.
12:34I'm not in any rush.
12:36Sarah, look.
12:37If I can do anything.
12:39Thanks, Vanessa.
12:40Honestly, you've been amazing throughout all of this.
12:44I never realised how lucky I was to have such good friends and family.
12:48You should have heard how amazing Gran and Mac were being with me this morning.
12:53What?
12:55Nothing.
12:56Look, I get you're never going to be his biggest fan.
12:58But you don't realise how much you love my Gran,
13:00and if we're going to try surrogacy again, then I...
13:03Oh, you're thinking a bit.
13:04Yeah, maybe.
13:06I mean, Grumpy's offered to pay.
13:07But obviously, I need to make sure that they're going to be OK,
13:11cos, well, I couldn't live with myself if it was at the expense of their marriage.
13:20Oh.
13:21What's this?
13:22I didn't order that.
13:23I know, but...
13:25I heard you and Lydia talking.
13:28About your divorce.
13:30Sorry, I...
13:31I was going to tell you...
13:32Oh, I'm not mad.
13:33Would I bring you that if I was?
13:35So, I guess this means that you're a dingle again now.
13:38Looks like it.
13:41Well, I'm happy for you.
13:43Even though King is the better name.
13:47Well, I'll let you crack on.
13:50Just remember, though,
13:52if you ever do need anything,
13:54you'll always be family to us.
13:56Not interrupting, are we?
14:03No.
14:03No, I'll grab a seat.
14:06Do you fancy a custard tart?
14:08Cos Jimmy's just given me it and I hate them.
14:11Is Vinny joining?
14:13No, he's in a meeting.
14:15But thanks for this.
14:16And thanks for joining us, Charles.
14:18I want to get all the religious bits right, you know?
14:20I know I'm probably not the best Christian, but my dad...
14:23Would be proud of you, I'm sure.
14:25I'll grab us a drink.
14:27So, it's getting close.
14:29How are you feeling?
14:30To be honest, a little bit guilty.
14:32And who swans off on holiday this close to their wedding?
14:35Vinny's been amazing.
14:36He's been our vet everything you asked him to do.
14:38He's a keeper.
14:40I'll never take him for granted again.
14:42That's why I want to make this really special, you know?
14:43Prove just how much I love him.
14:45Hmm.
14:45Is it Mick?
14:53I mean, Mike.
14:54Sorry.
14:55Oh, do you prefer Michael?
14:57Mike's just fine.
14:59Vincent, right?
15:01Bad joke.
15:02Vinny?
15:05And who's this, eh?
15:06Chip?
15:07Hello.
15:09I love dogs.
15:10The firm's most people, to be honest.
15:13Are you all right?
15:13Oh, sorry, um, not really done this before.
15:18You know, meeting up with someone online.
15:20Yeah, me neither.
15:21So, um, so why did you want to meet?
15:26Yeah.
15:27Yeah.
15:29Um, well, I saw your messages and I guess I saw a lot myself.
15:36I remember how lonely it felt and then I couldn't just sit back and let somebody else go for that.
15:42You don't have to find me.
15:44Just sit here till end of the year.
15:49That rhymed.
15:53I don't really know what I want to say.
15:57Still don't understand what's going on in me head.
15:59Chip, stop it.
16:00Sorry.
16:01All right, it's all right.
16:02She'll probably just smell my dog.
16:04Have you got a dog?
16:04Yeah.
16:05Wick it.
16:07Is that something to do with cricket then?
16:10I promise you won't laugh.
16:13It's because he looks like an Ewok.
16:15Are you like Star Wars?
16:16Yeah, of course.
16:16Who doesn't?
16:17Come on.
16:22What was occurring back there?
16:24It was Kane.
16:26Winding me up.
16:28Well, you really showed him, huh?
16:30Hmm.
16:32There you go.
16:35I call it a hunch, but, um, I don't suppose it had something to do with Steph leaving?
16:42Yeah.
16:45I'm sorry.
16:47Don't.
16:48You did nothing wrong.
16:49Neither did I.
16:52Are you still getting it in the neck?
16:54Uh, well, no.
16:56Ruby has said that she knows that we were...
17:00that you and I were a mistake.
17:02As we agreed.
17:04You said that, not me.
17:07What?
17:08There's a big difference between a mistake and something not being a big deal.
17:21This is a bad idea, Ross.
17:24All the fun ones are.
17:31Sorry I took so long.
17:37I wanted to pick you up something.
17:39Eh, bacon, hash brown, fried egg.
17:42Cooked all the way through.
17:43Eh, tomato ketchup, brown sauce.
17:46Absolutely disgusting, by the way.
17:47And a dash of onions.
17:49Babe, you didn't have to do that.
17:51Well, if you can't have a Charity Dingle hangover special today, then when can you?
17:57I don't deserve you.
17:59It's just a sandwich.
18:02Now, did you want to talk to me about anything?
18:05That's...
18:06Hang on.
18:07No, just leave it. Ignore it.
18:09It's fine. Get over.
18:14Hey.
18:15Hi.
18:16Vanessa.
18:16What can we do for you?
18:18We're just in the middle of something.
18:20I won't take long.
18:21I just wanted to say thanks for yesterday.
18:25Yesterday?
18:27What are you talking about?
18:28Johnny was sick.
18:29It went everywhere.
18:31Charity offered to give me a hand.
18:33I don't know what I'd have done without her.
18:36You didn't see?
18:37Well, no.
18:38We were dealing with all of that, so...
18:40Anyway, erm...
18:41Sorry for interrupting.
18:43I...
18:43I just wanted to say thank you.
18:46You know what I'm like.
18:48Brain like a sieve these days.
18:50I forget just about everything.
18:52It was really nice.
19:04Now.
19:06Did you want to talk to me about anything?
19:09To be honest, I was just going to suggest...
19:11Lunch.
19:13Just so we can actually spend some time together.
19:14Just me and you.
19:15We could split this.
19:18But you never share food.
19:21I know.
19:22But for you, I'd do just about anything.
19:30So, erm...
19:31What made you go on the website?
19:34Now, I mean.
19:34Well.
19:36I'm getting married soon.
19:39I've known her for years and...
19:41I thought I was happy.
19:42Oh, no, sorry.
19:43I am.
19:44I am happy.
19:44But just...
19:47I've only ever had these thoughts.
19:49Feelings.
19:50About me?
19:51Just the one.
19:54Good mate of mine, Cammy.
19:55He's having a laugh and then...
19:57Try to kiss him.
20:00I don't know why.
20:01And now, I just...
20:03I don't know how I feel, you know.
20:04Like, I can't...
20:05I can't explain it.
20:07It's okay, I get it.
20:12I've been where you are.
20:13Like, exactly where you are.
20:17Did you...
20:18Did you, erm...
20:19Tell your partner?
20:22Kate.
20:24Yeah.
20:26Can't say she's talking too well.
20:28You always see mine.
20:29Gabby.
20:30Erm...
20:32It's not the first time it's happened to her.
20:35Seriously.
20:37It's okay, mate.
20:41You can't help what's come before.
20:42Only how you handle things...
20:44moving forward.
20:45And you've got me now, yeah?
20:47You're not alone in this.
20:50Not anymore.
20:50Hiya.
20:56Hi.
20:57Does Steph land okay?
20:58Yeah.
20:59Er, she said she's got a belly full of pizza already, so it must be her last hurrah before
21:03the yoga retreat, I suppose.
21:04Oh, well.
21:05There are worse ways to get over a broken heart.
21:08Thanks for asking.
21:08I know it's never exactly easy.
21:10No, no need to bring it up.
21:12Ross does feel awful, though.
21:14I can tell you're really late, Steph.
21:17Don't you make me feel guilty as well?
21:18I've had all this from Anne Preak.
21:19I know they didn't set out to hurt her, but...
21:22Steph's so fragile, and...
21:25I just hate that it ended like that.
21:27Oh, I imagine they both feel the same way.
21:31What?
21:34Well, it might not be what it looks like.
21:35Like?
21:39One day, my daughter's been gone.
21:41One day.
21:42I should never have believed them.
21:45Well, what are you going to do?
21:48Only what they deserve.
22:05You need that.
22:22Bye.
22:23Bye.
22:23Bye.
22:24Bye.
22:24Bye.
22:30Bye.
