00:00Don't worry. I'll stick to our deal.
00:01So long as you keep that mouth of yours shut.
00:03There are a multitude of reasons why children seek to change their gender.
00:06I'll make the referrals today, but I'm afraid the waiting list...
00:09What would you do?
00:10I can't stay like this.
00:12That's a rose. It's called Martha.
00:14I'm gonna plant it with these ones.
00:16Daphne of Lake, what's he up to?
00:17I need to talk to someone. It's about my mother.
00:19It's just about...
00:21It's changing!
01:31PHONE RINGS
01:35What do you think? They're supposed to say...
01:39Leave your loved ones with us while we drain your inheritance.
01:41But also, we're warm and welcoming.
01:44Uh, I mean, yeah, they're giving all of those bags.
01:48A bit even for just a new client.
01:50I was at Jez's allotment, but then Sophie didn't feel very well,
01:53so I had to bring her home, and then this order came in,
01:55so, well, now Dilly's on babysitting duties.
01:58You know, speaking of Jez,
02:00that whole Patrick thing really freaked me out at first, but...
02:03Well, at least you're not still accusing him of being the talented Mr Ripley.
02:06Oh, don't. It's so embarrassing.
02:09Scott said he's a really nice guy, and I trust his judgement.
02:12He is a really nice guy.
02:14Which is actually something of a miracle, given how awful his mother is.
02:17His mother?
02:18Yeah, Martha.
02:19She lied to us about who she was, why she was here,
02:21and then she completely lost it the other day.
02:24She just attacked Jez.
02:26Turns out she's very unhinged.
02:28Sounds like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree where your dad's concerned, does it?
02:32I wonder how many skeletons Jez has got hiding in his closet.
02:34I'll see you in a bit.
02:43JJ!
02:44JJ!
02:46Oh, he takes it round the loopers and shoots it the whole way.
02:49He takes it out wide.
02:50Take away an hand, he passes to the future captain, and then he shoots!
02:54He scores! The crowd go!
02:56Absolutely bonkers!
02:58Where are you all? Come on, guys, take away's here!
03:03JJ?
03:06JJ?
03:07JJ, can we kill him?
03:09JJ...
03:10Suzanne! Frankie!
03:12You're gonna be all right.
03:13It's gonna be OK.
03:15OK.
03:16Ambulance, please.
03:18Yeah, it's my son. As quick as you can, please.
03:21Hey, shouldn't we need to check on R.O.? He's been in his room for ages.
03:24He probably just needs a bit of time to process everything the doctor says.
03:28I'm sure he'll be OK.
03:30Hey, here he is.
03:32Anne and Dee Dee have gone down to the youth club.
03:34Why don't you go join them?
03:36No, I'm... I'm gonna go play basketball instead.
03:40Look, I know you must be frustrated with the lack of options available at the moment,
03:43but we're really proud of the way you're handling it.
03:46Isn't that right, Di?
03:48I shouldn't have got my hopes up so soon.
03:50I mean, how can it be two years before they can even start to help?
03:55I know right now that I'm a boy,
03:57and all I want to do is be in a boy's body. Is that too much to ask for?
04:01Sorry to interrupt. Suzanne Ashworth's downstairs.
04:03She said you promised her a trial shift.
04:06I completely forgot.
04:07Right, well, you go.
04:08Right.
04:12Hey, listen.
04:13I don't know what you're talking about,
04:16Hey, listen.
04:18It's not forever.
04:20You know, the doctor's just gonna wait till you're a little bit older.
04:23And who knows, by that time,
04:25you might even feel a bit more...
04:27Well, you might feel different about the whole thing.
04:30Time moves fast, don't you think?
04:32That's what I'm afraid of.
04:46Are you gonna be all right?
04:48Frankie, I didn't think anyone was in.
04:51What's happened?
04:52Didn't you hear me calling out?
04:54No, no, I had my headphones on, and I've only just seen you miss call.
04:57Is he dead?
04:59Look, the paramedics are gonna want to know what happened before he collapsed.
05:02What do you know?
05:03Right, and I don't know, because I was in my room.
05:05I didn't see or hear anything.
05:07Don't.
05:09It's OK. Your dad's here.
05:11And Frankie, everything's gonna be all right.
05:14Thank you so much.
05:15And remember, you get a 10% discount
05:17if you sign up to our Floral Fanatic subscription.
05:19And I'm gonna pop back to the ball.
05:21Thank you.
05:22A trip to Antigua in August.
05:24Blood money.
05:25Oh!
05:27Someone's on the ball, aren't they?
05:30I think it's time for some more goodies.
05:33I'll pop in and get us some tea and biscuits.
05:37Martha?
05:47I'm not skiving.
05:49Just changing a barrel takes longer than you think.
05:52Hey, that Susanna's been here for five minutes
05:54and she already thinks she owns the gaff.
05:56I mean, apparently she did, you still own her,
05:58but I don't think she owns the gaff.
06:00I don't think she owns the gaff.
06:02I don't think she owns the gaff.
06:04I mean, apparently she did, you still own her,
06:06but that's by the by.
06:09You had a note?
06:10Uh, yeah.
06:14Kitty?
06:17What do you know about binding?
06:20Binding?
06:22Not much.
06:23Never really needed to do it myself.
06:25I know a mate of mine got into a bit of trouble a while ago
06:28cos he bound too tight, but that's it.
06:31Why?
06:35Do you...
06:37Do you think you could get me in contact with him?
06:40Or maybe just try and help me find some tips?
06:43Why? Is it something you're thinking about doing?
06:45The GP appointment was useless
06:48and I just feel like I need to do something.
06:51Yeah, but not before speaking to your mum and dad.
06:53They don't understand. You do.
06:55That's the thing, though.
06:57I kind of don't.
06:58And I've got to be honest with you,
07:00I'm not exactly the fountain of all knowledge when it comes to gender.
07:03My journey has very much been my own.
07:08Look...
07:10I know you've grown up, both mentally and physically,
07:13and puberty can be awful for everyone,
07:15but we've all been through it.
07:17Your mum and dad included.
07:19Kitty? You out there?
07:21Court rest handed.
07:23Just promise me you won't do anything
07:25without speaking to your mum and dad first, OK?
07:27OK.
07:28Good lad.
07:34What are you doing here?
07:36Did you have something to do with my delivery?
07:38It's not me. What?
07:40It's you.
07:41I don't know what's going on here, OK,
07:43but I have seen what you're capable of,
07:45so you stay away from me and you stay away from my family.
07:47Ow! You're dead.
07:49Get off me! Someone help!
07:51You're dead. Get off me, you witch!
07:53Mrs Blake, sorry about that.
07:55What's wrong with her?
07:57Mrs Blake's a very sick woman.
07:59Her son bought her in with severe dementia.
08:01Come on, let's get you inside in front of that TV.
08:04That holiday programme that you like's just started.
08:08Anyway, after everyone enters, it's time for the worst part of the evening.
08:11Oh, running from the rain, Rose.
08:13Care to get your hair wet?
08:15I thought you two were at youth club.
08:17Yeah, we were, but it's full of kids.
08:19Yeah, cos you two are so mature.
08:21Dee Dee's still there.
08:23She's filming some mad dance routine for the socials.
08:25Yeah, yeah, you should head down. There's a bunch of girls doing it.
08:28You'd fit right in.
08:30Oh, you're seeing better days, this.
08:32Give it back.
08:34Oh, no, I think I can get you a replacement.
08:36There's a good-as-new netball in the cupboard at ours.
08:38Oi! You didn't need to lob it that hard.
08:40Oh, I'm sorry, Rose.
08:42Did I hurt your boobies?
08:44Actually, I've barely felt it. You should stick to football.
08:46Your throw is ten times weaker than any girl I've ever played against.
08:49Oh, whatever.
08:51Right, come on.
08:54Excuse me
09:00But I just have to
09:04Explode
09:24Hi, Mum.
09:25Frankie, where are you?
09:26Darren said you were following the ambulance down here.
09:29Yeah, I am. I'm walking there now.
09:32Mum, I'm almost there.
09:34Please hurry. I need both my babies near me right now.
09:38How's JJ?
09:40Did the doctors know what happened?
09:42Well, the doctors are doing tests and Darren's with him.
09:44He's alive.
09:46That's the main thing.
09:48Frankie, I know you're probably feeling a bit guilty, upset, afraid,
09:53but you don't have to. You've done nothing wrong.
09:56He's going to make a full recovery. I know it.
09:58And then everything will go back to normal and you'll be back home together
10:02doing all the things you usually do.
10:04He loves you so much. He needs you.
10:07Frankie?
10:10Frankie?
10:14It was an absolute nightmare when I was your age.
10:17Always causing trouble.
10:19Mashing out at everyone around me.
10:24I'm a bit of a bully, to tell you the truth.
10:28Nothing like you, mate.
10:35You're such a good lad.
10:38You're so kind and caring.
10:43An absolute goat on a football pitch.
10:49Everything I could dream of in a son.
10:55Hey.
10:57You OK, mate?
10:59Here, have a glass of water.
11:03Here you go.
11:06Me and Frankie worried for a bit that night.
11:10Where is she?
11:12Why isn't she here?
11:14I don't know.
11:16Why would she leave me?
11:19I'm sure she's on her way, mate.
11:21We've all been worried about you.
11:24She isn't.
11:26Why would you say that?
11:29JJ?
11:31Hey, hey.
11:33Did something happen between you and Frankie?
11:38It's all my fault.
11:43It's OK.
11:53It's always a pleasure to see you.
11:54Need to say thank you for all your tireless work.
12:11Is everything OK?
12:13Is there someone in there you need to visit?
12:16Well, why is he still alive?
12:18He should be dead.
12:21Has someone hurt you?
12:27When I was younger, someone hurt me, too.
12:31But if the person who hurt you's in the hospital and you're out here,
12:35well, that means they can't do anything to you now.
12:38They're weak and vulnerable, but you're not.
12:41You're strong, powerful.
12:45You're the one that's in control.
12:55That was nice.
12:58Sienna.
13:00We need to talk.
13:03About your mother.
13:06So, Suzanne did a trial shift.
13:08Honestly.
13:10First my home, now my local.
13:12That woman gets her feet under the table whenever she goes.
13:15I mean, I wouldn't worry.
13:16Tony and Diane don't exactly have it back.
13:19She got a phone call mid-shift and said a runner.
13:21Didn't even say why she left.
13:23Probably the latest trap from the never-ending saga that is Frankie.
13:26Right, see you later.
13:27See you.
13:28Diane, I'm glad I caught you.
13:29How did the appointment go with Roe?
13:31Oh, er, yeah, so-so.
13:33Yeah, for what it's worth,
13:34I think you and Tony are handling this exceptionally.
13:36It's not easy.
13:37Yeah, we went through the same thing with Phoenix.
13:39Well, it's not exactly the same as Phoenix as an adult.
13:41True.
13:42I mean, things are getting harder for trans youths
13:44when they probably should be getting easier.
13:46What do you mean?
13:47Well, it's just such a long and drawn-out process, isn't it?
13:50Well, we've let him change his clothes and his name and his pronoun,
13:52so is that not fast enough?
13:54I'm just saying.
13:55It's probably best you don't, Nancy.
14:00Diane, erm,
14:02I wish maybe I have a way with Roe.
14:04I went upstairs before,
14:05and I don't think he's doing as well as we all thought.
14:07Well, thanks for your parents' advice.
14:09I'll get right on to it.
14:15Hey.
14:17Thanks.
14:18I've only went out for a few bits,
14:19and I've just had a full-on lecture from Nancy
14:21about parents and Roe as soon as I walked through the door.
14:24I'm sure she's just being supportive.
14:25Oh, Tony, who's side are you on?
14:27It's not about sides, it's about our son's happiness.
14:29Surely that's all anyone cares about?
14:31Tony, all this gender stuff is a minefield.
14:34And I feel useless.
14:36And worse than that, I'm confused.
14:39I'm getting information coming from all directions,
14:41from the telly, from the internet, from friends,
14:43and I don't know what to say.
14:44Well, you don't have the answers, cos none of us do.
14:47You just stick to being the amazing mother that you've always been,
14:49and we can work it out from there.
14:51Here.
14:53It's somebody's birthday tomorrow.
14:55Don't remind me.
14:56Well, it's a good excuse for us to come together as a family.
15:00Look, darling, we all love you,
15:01so stop being so hard on yourself, OK?
15:09Seriously, Martha's got the grip of a wrestler.
15:12Thank goodness the care home nurse was there.
15:16I told Jez all about it earlier.
15:18Why didn't he tell you that he'd put his mum in a home?
15:20I mean, he told you about her, but then didn't mention that.
15:23Embarrassment.
15:24Jez, I'm sorry, I wasn't gossiping.
15:26I was with Maxine before when I saw Martha.
15:28Mum, I'm sorry to hear about your mum.
15:30Thank you.
15:31You know, she's been suffering for a long time.
15:34I'm just sorry Siena had to witness first-hand what she can be like.
15:37But she seems so lucid. I mean, what about when she...
15:40No, that's what's so devastating.
15:41She seems lucid, but she's not.
15:43That's why I found it so difficult to help her.
15:47You know, we haven't always seen eye to eye,
15:49but I really wanted to make things right between us, but...
15:54Now she's so ill, I don't think I'm going to get the chance.
15:58I'm sorry, I don't think I can talk about this right now.
16:01Hey, it's fine.
16:03You found her somewhere lovely,
16:05where the people are going to care for her,
16:07and we have us to support you now.
16:10You're part of this family.
16:12Hey, for better or for worse.
16:17Thank you.
16:23Thank you.
16:40Hi. Hey.
16:42I've told Mum and Dad everything.
16:46I'm sorry.
16:47It's OK, sweetheart.
16:50There's no need to get upset, all right?
16:52Listen, we understand why you felt guilty,
16:54but it's not your fault you're in your room when you collapsed, is it?
16:57The doctor said he's had a pseudo-seizure caused by stress.
17:00I mean, he's a fit and healthy teenage boy.
17:02What's he going to be stressed about?
17:05I can imagine it was a lot for you.
17:07Walking in and seeing me on the floor.
17:09Dad helping me.
17:11I don't know what I would have done if it had been you in my place.
17:14Listen to him, laid up in his hospital bed
17:16and still thinking about his sister's feelings.
17:19Darren said he was talking all sorts of nonsense
17:21earlier, worried it'd upset you, blaming himself.
17:24Mum.
17:25Hey, don't be embarrassed.
17:28You too.
17:29Well, you've got a special bond that none of us will ever understand.
17:32The good news is the doctor said you're OK to go home.
17:35Tonight?
17:36No, no, no. New Year.
17:39Of course tonight, you silly billy. Stop.
17:42Right, now both our chicks are in the nest,
17:45shall we go and check on Fred and make sure he's all right before we go home?
17:48Yes, good idea.
17:49Right, you help your brother pack, we'll be back in a sec.
17:54Do you want to start packing and I'll just go and get us a drink or something?
17:58Do you really think I'd forget you walking away and leaving me?
18:04Evening, Mother. Did you miss me?
18:06So sorry I had to lie about you having dementia.
18:09Time for your evening top-up.
18:11Don't do this, someone's going to get hurt.
18:13Shh, shh, shh.
18:15You know...
18:17No.
18:18..therapists would have a field day trying to diagnose our relationship.
18:21No.
18:22Up, up.
18:23First you sedate me and try and drag me home,
18:26and then I sedate you and put you in a home.
18:30Oh, Annie.
18:34Just wanted to thank you for finding a bed for Mother at such short notice.
18:39A little extra bonus for your holiday fun.
18:41Always happy to help a friend.
18:43Holiday fun?
18:44Always happy to help a family in need.
18:47Thanks.
18:53You had me digging for hours burying the evidence.
18:57But it's all gone now.
19:00I can't have you interfering again, can I?
19:03And thankfully Annie will take care of that for me.
19:06Now I just have to get a few more ducks in the row,
19:09and then it will be time for the Blake sisters' final act.
19:14I've waited so long to pay Patrick back for what he's done to me.
19:18A few more weeks won't hurt.
19:20Don't do this, it's not their fault.
19:23Don't do what?
19:25Hmm?
19:28You think I'm going to hurt Patrick's children?
19:30Destroy everything they hold dear?
19:33Put them in the ground?
19:36Because if you do,
19:40you're absolutely right.
19:56Hi.
19:57Just going to grab a hot chocolate while the bat's running.
20:00Erm, Kitty said that you might want to have a little chat, so...
20:03Oh, er, no, Mum, it's OK.
20:06I understand that there's not much anyone can really do for me at the minute.
20:10I'm dealing with it.
20:12OK.
20:14Do you, er, think I'm going to have an early night?
20:17I probably wouldn't be that far behind you.
20:20Night.
20:23Ro?
20:24Ro?
20:29Sleep tight, love.
20:50Seriously, Dad, just warm up the takeaway from earlier.
20:53I'm not serving a future world champion
20:55food that's been lying on the floor for four hours, OK?
20:57And plus, it might have soaked up some of Jack's cheesy foot sweat.
21:00Ooh. Exactly.
21:01Right, you get in there, get your feet up, I'm going to cook us something nice.
21:04Hey.
21:08Can I sit by you?
21:09Why? There's all these seats free.
21:16I want to be close to you.
21:18I've had a traumatic day.
21:20Barrington, love.
21:21So?
21:23She's been a good sister.
21:24Making me feel better.
21:26Just stop it.
21:29I can't believe how selfish you are.
21:31After everything you've done.
21:33I've done?
21:34You watched me whilst I was getting sick.
21:37And then I collapsed.
21:39You left me when I needed you most.
21:41You know why I did what I did.
21:44And if you don't stop, I'm going to tell Darren.
21:48I don't ever believe you.
21:50Especially if I just miraculously remembered what happened today.
21:55If I told Mum and Dad, they'd think you were disgusting.
21:57No, no, I am not disgusting, you are.
22:00Shut up, Darren will hear you.
22:01I don't care, maybe I want him to know.
22:03Please, be nice.
22:04No!
22:05I didn't call Darren or Mum or an ambulance because I hate you,
22:08and I just want you to die!
22:10Frankie, stop that right now!
22:12How could you say that?
22:14What is wrong with you?
22:19I love you.
22:44It's weird, isn't it?
22:46I've been thinking about getting old and who's going to look after you.
22:50Uh-oh.
22:51How's Trish?
22:53Surely she's not looking for a retirement home already.
22:56No, she will be high-kicking and doing the splits long after me.
22:59It's just...
23:00I feel sorry for you, Gran.
