00:00 I'm offering you the chance to live under the same roof as your son and his strange daughter.
00:04 To seem so weird after what happened between us.
00:07 Wouldn't it just be easier if you told her that you do remember her telling you about the kiss?
00:11 Do you think maybe you could sleep in my room again tonight?
00:14 Of course I can, so long as Morgan sleeps through.
00:16 Night, night.
00:20 Morgan?
00:22 Can't wake Morgan up.

00:36 (upbeat music)
01:06 - Morgan, wake up.
01:07 I can feel her heart racing.
01:08 How long has she been like this?
01:09 - I don't know, I just got back from work.
01:11 Ambulance, please, yeah.
01:12 17 Basswood Road, Holyoaks.
01:14 Yeah, it's our baby girl.
01:15 She's unresponsive and we can't wake her up.
01:18 - Is Morgan gonna die?
01:19 - Do not say things like that, please, Frankie.
01:21 Do you know what, Darren?
01:22 We're gonna take her to A&E ourselves, come on.
01:24 - All right, cancel that. - Move, move, move.
01:25 - This is all my fault.
01:30 I just wanted Nancy to stay in my room.
01:32 I gave Morgan more of her antihistamine.
01:35 (dramatic music)
01:38 - One, two, three.
01:41 - It's good as new, eh?
01:46 - Hey, what were you thinking,
01:50 trying to get out of your chair like that?
01:52 - I just wanted to help.
01:55 - My shift is due to start.
01:59 Maybe I should get someone to cover.
02:01 - Don't be daft.
02:03 People are relying on you.
02:05 - I'll take care of his head.
02:07 - A good teacher is like a candle.
02:14 We light the way for others to follow.
02:17 So the reason that you should rehire me as head teacher
02:22 is because I am a nurturer of young minds.
02:28 (John clears throat)
02:29 John Paul, I didn't know you were at home.
02:32 You going for the head teacher's job then?
02:34 - I thought I might as well apply.
02:37 Although I'm gonna look pretty stupid
02:39 when they give my old job to someone else.
02:41 Unless that other person is you, of course,
02:44 and then I will just be immensely proud.
02:46 - Sally, you're a brilliant teacher.
02:48 They're obviously gonna hire you.
02:50 You should read the beginning of my application, actually.
02:52 Yeah, I open with a frankly cliche quote
02:55 about being a candle and lighting the way.
03:00 - Yes, well, perhaps.
03:02 It is a bit cliched.
03:03 - I didn't realize you were going back into it.
03:07 - I have been an educator for half my life,
03:12 and I'm just unfulfilled by doing other people's accounts.
03:17 And I miss it.
03:19 And I know I'd be good at it too.
03:22 - Sir.
03:23 You'd be brilliant at it.
03:25 You should definitely apply.
03:29 - Hiya.
03:31 School caretaker, Hank.
03:32 We've got a problem.
03:33 - Hey.
03:41 What are you doing up?
03:43 - I had a nightmare.
03:45 - What's that? - Nothing.
03:47 It's a present for Joel and Leela.
03:49 It's bad luck to see artwork before it's finished anyway.
03:52 So what was this nightmare all about?
03:55 - I was lost in a cave, and it was really dark,
03:58 and I was scared.
04:00 I kept calling for you, but you never came.
04:04 - Well, we know that dreams are pure nonsense, don't we?
04:09 Hey, do you want a warm milk?
04:11 - Demi always used to make me hot chocolate
04:13 when I had nightmares.
04:15 - Well, I can do that.
04:17 Yeah, come on, there's bound to be a sachet in here somewhere.
04:20 - Demi made her own.
04:22 She didn't believe in sachets.
04:25 - Well, I bet she did.
04:26 - Or limited screen time.
04:28 - Okay.
04:29 Right, look, we can relax the rules a little bit
04:31 if it's gonna help you sleep, yeah?
04:33 - When I had a bad dream,
04:36 she always used to give me a bit of money
04:37 to put under my pillow to keep the dream demons away.
04:40 - I mean, how much?
04:41 'Cause I've only got a couple of coins.
04:43 - A tenner should do it.
04:45 - £10?
04:46 - And the hot chocolate, which she brought to me in bed.
04:50 - Hang on a minute, mister.
04:57 (dog whining)
04:58 Is this a shakedown?
05:00 - Look, it was a really, really dark cave
05:03 that I was abandoned in.
05:06 - Well, lucky for you,
05:08 Joel left his wallet.
05:10 Now, I am buying these dream demons silence
05:16 with this backhander, okay?
05:24 (door opening)
05:26 (soft music)
05:32 - I'm saying, you do know it's nearly 11 o'clock at night?
05:39 - Yes, I'm fully aware.
05:41 - Just tell me what you need and I'll grab it for you.
05:42 - I can manage, thank you.
05:45 - I don't think misters are gonna be too happy
05:47 knowing that you're pulling out
05:48 our best pots and pans at this hour.
05:49 - I suppose you know what makes her happy.
05:53 - What's that mean?
05:54 - This is for misters.
05:57 Night shift meal.
06:02 - Who got this?
06:09 - Will you just stop?
06:10 I am more than capable of making a meal for my wife.
06:15 - Seriously, I can't feel my palms.
06:17 I may have actually slipped into a coma.
06:19 I was intrigued by the throwout of the market
06:21 so the first time you mentioned it,
06:22 I thought you were a real cook.
06:23 Now I can say I'm officially done.
06:25 - What's all this?
06:27 - Ah, Zane's cooking.
06:30 Listen, can you give us some space for a minute?
06:33 - Can I just borrow this first?
06:34 - Hey, dudes, you better take your pills before you forget.
06:37 - Seriously, bro, read the room.
06:43 - It is important that I do this for myself.
06:50 - If that's all it is, for a second there,
06:53 it looked like you had an issue with me.
06:55 - Mr. Sprague will be starting soon.
06:58 - Well, have you got an issue with me?
07:00 'Cause if I've done something to upset you,
07:01 then I'd like to know.
07:02 Zane, why don't you answer me, man?
07:06 - You kissed my wife.
07:08 - Mr. Sprague, how's Morgan?
07:20 - She's okay.
07:21 - She's still a little drowsy,
07:23 but doesn't appear to be in any discomfort.
07:25 What medication is she on?
07:28 - It's an antihistamine, I've got the box here.
07:30 So what happens now?
07:33 - I suggest the two of you go home and rest.
07:36 Morgan's asleep, and it'll be a while
07:38 before we get the blood tests back.
07:40 - I can't just abandon her,
07:41 I already feel like a terrible mother.
07:43 - The important thing is that you did the right thing,
07:45 bringing her in.
07:46 Being a parent's hard enough without blaming ourselves
07:49 every time our children are sick.
07:51 - Thank you.
07:53 Seems to me, Misba thinks we're panicking over nothing.
07:59 - Oh, I'm sorry, did you qualify as a doctor
08:01 while I was in America for months,
08:03 going through this day and night by myself?
08:05 - I would've done anything to have been there.
08:08 And dealing with Charlie's anxiety
08:09 wasn't exactly a fun trip to the seaside, was it?
08:12 - You're right, I'm sorry, I'm just, I'm scared.
08:15 You know, Morgan being sick nearly broke me,
08:17 and I cannot go through that again.
08:19 - She's gonna be fine.
08:21 You wait.
08:23 I still don't get why you did it.
08:33 - I just thought that the extra dose would keep her calm
08:38 and then she'd sleep, and if Nancy knew
08:42 that Morgan was all right, maybe she'd stay in my room again
08:44 and then you couldn't get in.
08:46 (birds chirping)
08:48 - I never meant to hurt her.
08:50 This is your fault.
08:52 - Do you really hate me that much?
08:55 - Don't hate?
08:56 - Wasn't it enough you got Nancy telling me
08:58 I need to knock whenever I go into my own sister's room?
09:00 - JJ!
09:01 What if she dies?
09:04 I'm scared.
09:06 - Look, don't get upset.
09:09 I'm not gonna tell anyone, am I?
09:14 You know I've always got your back.
09:16 - Right, but what if they find out
09:21 that the syringe is missing?
09:23 - Why have you still got that?
09:25 - Look, because Oscar was shouting for me
09:28 after I'd given Morgan the medicine
09:29 and then I wasn't thinking.
09:31 Nancy took the box to the hospital
09:32 so I couldn't put it back.
09:33 - It's all right, we can talk this.
09:35 Just give it to me.
09:37 - What are you gonna do?
09:40 - I'm gonna stash it in Nancy and Darren's room
09:42 so when they find it, they'll think
09:43 one of them just moved it.
09:44 No one will think it was you.
09:46 - Really?
09:48 - Of course.
09:49 I'd do anything for you.
09:53 Like you'd do anything for me.
09:56 Charlie and Jack won't be back from the cinema for a while.
10:02 Why don't we check Oscar's still asleep
10:04 and go to your room?
10:05 - No, JJ, I don't want to.
10:08 - Come on.
10:09 - No, this needs to stop!
10:11 - Frank, why are you upset?
10:13 (rock music)
10:20 - So, the caretaker rang you instead of the police?
10:32 - Tried to get hold of Nancy,
10:33 but they couldn't get through.
10:35 Pretty sure it would just be kids messing about.
10:37 - Oh, well, thanks for roping me in.
10:39 What, were you too scared to be here by yourself?
10:41 - No, I just thought you'd like a taste
10:43 of what it's like to be a head teacher.
10:45 How are your family holding up?
10:52 - Devastated.
10:53 He was a very kind, caring guy.
10:58 I miss him.
11:00 - Yeah, he was brilliant.
11:02 So now that Sally's in for the big job as well as Nancy,
11:06 are you thinking about pulling out the race?
11:08 - Yeah, what's the point?
11:10 I mean, they've both got more experience than me.
11:13 - Hey, Hunter became a teacher because of you.
11:15 You'd be an inspired choice.
11:17 - Oh, I appreciate it,
11:18 but I can also think of a myriad of reasons
11:20 why they wouldn't choose me.
11:22 - Mate, when I walk past your class,
11:25 all I hear are engaged, excited kids.
11:27 - Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
11:30 Did you hear that?
11:31 - No, I didn't hear anything.
11:38 - Okay, you've had your glass of water.
11:40 Now time for bed, mate.
11:42 - You need to look at Oscar when you speak to him
11:44 because otherwise he can't let breathe.
11:46 - You should have told me while you were fighting.
11:49 - We weren't fighting.
11:51 We were just...
11:52 Arguing over the TV remote.
11:58 Weren't we?
12:00 - Yeah.
12:02 Sometimes JJ makes me watch horror films.
12:07 - Oh, well, those horrible things,
12:09 they just make my skin crawl.
12:10 - Okay.
12:15 Why don't we forget this conversation ever happened?
12:18 'Cause I don't think your mum would be too happy
12:20 if she knew you were still up, would she?
12:22 Okay, so we keep that our secret.
12:25 Well, time for bed, mate.
12:26 Then we have some unfinished business to attend to.
12:31 - But if Oscar's not tired,
12:34 then maybe he could stay up too.
12:37 - Would you like that?
12:38 - Only if you're staying too.
12:40 - Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
12:42 - You okay?
12:47 - I'm okay.
12:48 - Hey, here you go.
13:02 - Thank you.
13:07 - Listen, there'll be an explanation.
13:08 Let's just see what we're supposed to say, all right?
13:10 Speaking of which, any news?
13:14 - Morgan's going to be perfectly fine.
13:16 - Oh, there you go.
13:17 It's amazing.
13:18 - However, the blood tests revealed
13:20 that Morgan has high levels of chlorphenamine in her system,
13:25 having received an excessive dose of antihistamine.
13:29 - Wait, how could that have happened?
13:31 - It must've been administered to her.
13:33 - That's not possible.
13:34 I keep a written record of when she has her medication,
13:37 and I'm always really careful
13:38 to make sure she has the right amount.
13:40 I mean, we both are.
13:41 - Yeah, but the most important thing
13:42 is Morgan's going to be all right, yeah?
13:44 - She is.
13:45 Although mistakes like this could prove to be very dangerous
13:50 given Morgan's underlying health conditions.
13:52 - Yes, I am well aware
13:53 of Morgan's underlying health conditions.
13:55 I mean, I'm the one that was there every day in America
13:57 when she was receiving her treatment.
13:59 Did you give her an extra dose?
14:00 - No, of course I didn't,
14:01 because I seen you put it on the pad.
14:02 - Then how can we explain this?
14:04 - We'll keep Morgan in overnight for further observation.
14:07 But with a bit of rest, we're confident
14:10 she'll be good to go home in a few hours.
14:12 - Thank you.
14:13 - Cheers for the little dig about America.
14:18 I mean, it's not like it was a choice, was it?
14:19 One of us had to stay behind with the kids, remember that?
14:21 - I know, I'm sorry.
14:22 I just, I don't understand how this could have happened.
14:26 Can you keep an eye on Morgan, please?
14:29 - Why, where are you going?
14:30 - I need to know who could have put our baby at risk.
14:32 I'm gonna go see if the kids know something.
14:34 You ready?
14:41 - Yeah, I mean, is the sheet really that necessary?
14:43 - Oh my.
14:50 - I take it back.
14:51 - Right, what do you think, be honest?
14:53 Well, the words don't exist.
14:57 - Yeah.
14:57 - Well, it's called the tree of life,
15:00 because from two little acorns, something beautiful grows.
15:04 Hence the picture of my little Jolie at the bottom there.
15:07 And I found a gorgeous picture of you, Leela.
15:09 Look at that.
15:10 - That's Pez.
15:12 - Oh, is it?
15:13 - Yeah.
15:13 - Oh, sorry.
15:14 Just the only other pictures I could find
15:15 must have been of your dad.
15:17 I mean, have you ever seen a hairier baby?
15:19 I mean, look at that.
15:20 - Yeah, that's me.
15:24 - Oh.
15:26 Oh, you're a bundle of joy.
15:30 (footsteps thudding)
15:32 You hate it, don't you?
15:33 You think it's hideous.
15:34 - Well, after all the hard work, no.
15:36 No.
15:37 - No, it's amazing, Marie.
15:39 - Oh, really, I'm so relieved.
15:42 I just wanted to do something nice for you both, you know,
15:44 and I'm so sorry,
15:45 but I just can't afford a pram or anything like that.
15:48 - Don't worry about it.
15:48 Look, it's personal.
15:49 It's very you.
15:52 Thank you.
15:54 It's nice.
15:55 - Baby Dexter, tree of life.
15:58 It's his full title.
15:59 - Right.
16:01 Why is it just Dexter and not got my surname on there?
16:04 - Well, 'cause you're having his baby,
16:06 so I just assumed you'd be getting married or not.
16:11 - Zane, you know we gotta clear the air
16:15 before Miss Berg gets home.
16:17 So when did you get your memory back?
16:20 - I only pretended to forget because of my stroke.
16:26 - Surely you don't think there's anything going on
16:28 between me and Miss Berg.
16:29 - I saw you flirting before.
16:31 Your hands touched.
16:33 - By accident.
16:34 So why lie about the not remembering?
16:38 Were you just biding your time
16:39 until you felt fit enough to land me one?
16:41 - Not everything's about you.
16:43 This is about me proving to Miss Berg
16:45 that I'm the only man she needs.
16:47 - For the record, I feel terrible about this kiss,
16:49 and I'm an idiot.
16:50 Here was a beautiful, intelligent woman being nice to me,
16:56 and I made a mess of my own marriage.
16:58 - That's why I'm the better man.
17:01 - You're right, Zane.
17:02 You are the better man.
17:04 It was a stupid moment.
17:05 It didn't mean anything.
17:07 - You threatened my marriage over a stupid moment.
17:12 I don't understand if you're in love with her.
17:15 - Really?
17:16 You'd prefer I had the hots for your missus?
17:18 - Not that it'd make a difference,
17:20 but there's only one man in Miss Berg's life,
17:22 and it certainly isn't!
17:23 - Me?
17:24 (Zane screams)
17:26 - Zane!
17:27 What are you doing?
17:30 - Zane remembers you telling him that we kissed.
17:32 In fact,
17:35 he never forgot.
17:37 - Was that door open the first time we came out?
17:50 - Honestly, after seven laps, it looks the same.
17:53 (door opens)
17:56 - Yeah, but somebody forced that window open.
17:58 - Yeah, but we've checked and there's no one here.
18:00 Come on, mate, go home and prepare for your interview.
18:02 - Do you really think I should go for it?
18:04 - Yeah, of course I do.
18:05 You'd be a brilliant headteacher,
18:07 and you'd be letting the kids down if you don't.
18:09 But don't be asking me for a character reference,
18:11 'cause you're clearly deranged.
18:14 I'll see you in the morning.
18:15 - See ya.
18:16 (footsteps)
18:18 (dramatic music)
18:46 - Oh, it's a herbal tea.
18:48 All the hot chocolate seems to be gone.
18:50 - Thank you.
18:51 I was thinking, what if we just fake a break-in
18:58 and claim someone stole it?
18:59 - Oh, aye, well, the police are looking for an art thief
19:02 with really dodgy taste.
19:05 (laughs)
19:07 Right, sorry about my mum.
19:08 Talk about us getting married all the time.
19:12 - No, it's fine.
19:13 Never knew she was so old-fashioned.
19:15 - I didn't think she was.
19:16 - You know what, listen, I love your mum.
19:18 But ever since she's arrived,
19:20 it's just all been about her and Arlo,
19:21 and, well, I just feel pressured now.
19:25 - Aye, don't feel pressured into anything
19:27 you don't wanna do.
19:28 I mean, it's not exactly like my first proposal
19:32 was a success, was it?
19:33 - Hey, it's not that I don't want to.
19:36 It's just that if we did, then it should be our decision.
19:41 - It's a big decision.
19:43 - Not exactly had everything plain sailing for us so far,
19:46 I suppose.
19:47 - Is that you having doubts?
19:50 - No, none whatsoever.
19:51 Like, there's no place I'd rather be
19:53 than sitting here with you in your jammies.
19:56 I love you.
19:57 - Love you too.
19:58 Right, I'm going to bed.
20:01 - Right, hang on.
20:03 What do you say?
20:07 Do you fancy getting married?
20:10 (dramatic music)
20:13 - I appreciate I should have been honest from the start.
20:17 - Then why lie about your memory?
20:20 - I tried to tell Zane that everything that happened
20:23 was my fault, and there was absolutely nothing
20:25 going on between us.
20:26 - This will be a side effect of the stroke.
20:31 - It's got nothing to do with the stroke.
20:33 - Then why lie?
20:34 - Because!
20:35 (dramatic music)
20:38 I asked Donny to move in as a test
20:45 so I could prove that I was the only man you need.
20:51 - Where's Morgan, is she all right?
21:01 - She's fine, they just want to keep her in for observation.
21:04 But her blood work showed double the amount
21:05 of medication in her system.
21:07 Do you have any idea how that could have happened?
21:09 - Me?
21:10 And no, no, why would I?
21:12 - Oh.
21:13 If you know anything now, it'd be a great time to tell me.
21:18 - I know.
21:19 I found this.
21:21 - Where was it?
21:26 - Frankie confessed to me.
21:31 Told me where I'd find it.
21:33 - In Oscar's room?
21:34 He told her he'd given Morgan her meds?
21:37 - Oh.
