00:00Hi. Oh, full face of make-up to look after poorly animals. Loving your style, babes.
00:17Can't tell I've spent the last hour throwing up, then.
00:19Oh, the paper.
00:20I looked it up online. It's normal to feel a bit off in the first few weeks.
00:25It's only been a couple of days since your accident.
00:27Why don't I call Manpreet? I can pop you over to the surgery.
00:30And say what? I'm pregnant with Liam's baby.
00:33Hey! He's a doctor. You're gonna be bumping into him all the time.
00:37Once you start showing, he's gonna work it out.
00:40I can't tell him. It's too soon. I haven't even got my head around it yet.
00:45And I've got enough to worry about right now.
00:47Hit bombs from Tracy and getting through my first day at the vets.
00:51So, you're a twin?
00:54I have to be. I need this job.
00:58And whatever I decide to do about the baby, I'm gonna need to find a place of my own.
01:02I can't camp out in your treatment room forever.
01:04You can stay up there as long as you like.
01:07Whatever happens, night is right. We'll work it out.
01:10Together.
01:13Oh!
01:20Oh!
01:21How's he doing?
01:23Yeah. Really good, actually.
01:25He's got a little smile from him.
01:28What, a little fire, eh?
01:31Yeah.
01:33No thanks to Kim bringing an infection.
01:37Yeah, well, what if she didn't do it?
01:39She admitted it. You heard her. You were there.
01:43Yeah, well, maybe there's more to it than you think.
01:45Why are you making excuses for her?
01:47She infected Evan. She almost killed me.
01:51The infection, Dawn, I...
01:53I know that Evan got it from me.
01:55What? No, you've not been anywhere. You've hardly seen anyone.
01:59Yeah, well, the other day when I went out for a run,
02:02I bumped into Nate.
02:04Ended up having a few cans and a ketchup, but we were careful.
02:08It's a distance, but...
02:10And you never said anything.
02:12I ended up getting bladdered.
02:15Nate pretty much carried me home.
02:19And I saw Kim when I got back.
02:21She saw the state I was in, sent me to one of the guest rooms.
02:26And she told you that I was on some job.
02:29So when Evan got sick, I just...
02:32I knew it was my fault.
02:35You put him at risk.
02:37After everything the doctors told us.
02:41When you know how vulnerable he is.
02:43Yeah, and I couldn't hate myself any more.
02:48Dawn, I wanted to tell you, I really did.
02:51But you were out of your mind with worry,
02:53and Kim thought that if you were to find out,
02:55we'd just end up arguing again.
02:59She was trying to protect us.
03:01So you let her lie to me?
03:03To all of us?
03:05Look, she wanted us to focus on Evan, his recovery.
03:08She was trying to help us.
03:10She's not this monster that you make her out to be.
03:12She actually cares.
03:13Oh, yeah, she cares so much that she spiked me.
03:16That wasn't her. She didn't do it.
03:18She's a liar, Billy.
03:20She always has been, and if you're thick enough to believe what she says,
03:23then you're worse than she is.
03:29Oh, I made him grovel.
03:31And Eric admits it was a mistake to cut down my shifts.
03:34He wants me back.
03:36And thanks to you lot, I'm available.
03:39Look, I know you really wanted to be our receptionist,
03:42but Paddy and Rhona were right.
03:43Ella's the one with the experience.
03:45But I couldn't pick up in, like, ten minutes.
03:48She's the one who's been in prison half...
03:53She's the one who's been in prison half her life.
03:55Are you telling me you trust her over me?
03:57Ignore her. Sit down. I'll bring you some water.
04:02Hey.
04:04Good to see you. You doing all right?
04:08Is he serious?
04:10Trace, you've got to let this go.
04:12I'm only saying what no-one else will.
04:14As long as she's about, no kid is safe.
04:17Just like no-one's husband's safe with you about.
04:19I'll catch you later, Mandy, OK?
04:21OK.
04:23Brenda!
04:31Your pillows.
04:33And some of the other stuff you asked for.
04:36I'll be up to do the horses every morning.
04:39But don't worry, I'll stay out of your way.
04:42I didn't want any of this.
04:44I only moved out to keep Evan safe.
04:47He's our absolute priority.
04:49Not because she almost got Dawn killed, then?
04:52That's what Rose has told you, so it has to be true.
04:56Because you couldn't bring yourself to believe
04:58that she'd stooped to spiking Dawn's drink
05:00in some cack-handed attempt to set me up.
05:03Give over.
05:05Your drug dealer turned up at our front door.
05:07I've never seen him before in my life.
05:11If you believe I'd do anything to put Dawn at risk,
05:14then you're not the man I thought I married.
05:17And if you could spike her, let her get in a car and drive off,
05:20you're not the woman I thought I loved.
05:22I'll see myself out.
05:25Kim.
05:27I told Dawn that you covered for me, but she wouldn't listen.
05:30Why would she?
05:32Will, on the other hand, should know better.
05:34You shouldn't have to leave.
05:36It's wrong, and I'm so sorry.
05:39Don't be.
05:41It's nothing I can't handle.
05:55Yeah, of course, Ella.
05:57I've been on pins and wires. How's she doing?
06:00Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's great. She's great.
06:02She's organised, she's professional,
06:04and she's absolutely mortified.
06:07She ended up forwarding an email that was meant just for Tom
06:10to all of us, by mistake.
06:12Oh, that'd be nerves. Plus Tracy having a go at her first thing.
06:15Yeah. Ended up doing us a bit of a favour, actually.
06:17It was from surgery in Wales,
06:19and apparently they want to see him for a second interview.
06:23What, Tom's going for a new job?
06:25All we've been told is he's on this little break with Belle,
06:28and Vanessa's from taking off yesterday.
06:31Hang on, they've gone away, together?
06:33Yeah, did you not know?
06:34What's that we do now?
06:36Thought he was happy here. We all did.
06:38Thought he fitted in quite well.
06:40Don't really want to lose him.
06:41Yeah, nor Belle.
06:42Cos, you know, if he does go, she's going too.
06:45I can't even talk to him, he's got his phone switched off.
06:47If you hear from either of them, just get them to give us a ring.
06:52Right, that's going to happen.
06:53Belle's not even speaking to us since we staged that intervention.
06:56Charity! You staged it!
06:58A marriage, a business.
07:00Look, if we hadn't made it our business,
07:02she wouldn't be thinking about having a new life in Wales, would she?
07:14Hey. Hi. Have you got a minute?
07:16Yeah, I'm just on my break. Fancy a brew?
07:18Oh, no.
07:21Yeah, I just wanted to apologise again
07:24for not being able to finish that drink the other day.
07:27Even you can't blame yourself for an accident.
07:31Anyway, I heard Dawn's doing OK,
07:33and, well, Mandy's taken Ella in at the salon.
07:37And she's also got a job at the vets,
07:40so it looks like she's here to stay.
07:43Awkward, right?
07:46You know, when everything came out,
07:48I made it clear to Ella that we were over.
07:51And all I felt was just a sense of relief
07:54that I would never have to see her again.
07:56And then Mandy scooped her up and brought her back here.
07:59I mean, Ella has no-one.
08:02She's got nowhere else to go.
08:04How could I possibly object?
08:06But you do.
08:09Well, the feelings that I thought I had for her
08:12were really just a projection of the feelings
08:15that I actually had for somebody else.
08:18Somebody who, at the time,
08:20wasn't really in a position to reciprocate.
08:26That drink, we never finished.
08:30Yeah, I...
08:32I'd just really like to pick up where we left off.
08:37I'd like that too.
08:42Right, well, I'll, er...
08:45I'll call you.
09:01Hey, that's morning surgery.
09:04Hey, that's morning surgery done.
09:07Sorry I messed up.
09:09That email, the one that was meant for Tom.
09:11Oh, don't stress about it. A few things happen.
09:14Thanks. I know you didn't want me here.
09:20Look, I might betray Sister,
09:23it doesn't mean I think she's best for the job.
09:26I can't see her lasting five minutes here.
09:29The smells, the pee, the poo.
09:31And that's just the owners.
09:34Welcome to the team, Ella.
09:36Oh, and don't tell Tracy I told you this, but...
09:40you're doing great.
09:53Urinal blocks.
09:55The blue ones were out.
09:57OK, I'll shove some more into the cash and carry order.
10:00Living the dream, eh?
10:02I'll see you tomorrow. Lids.
10:04Belle haven't mentioned anything about holiday to you, has she?
10:07No, why?
10:09Well, Ness said she saw them both driving off yesterday, her and Tom.
10:12Reckons he's applied for some new job in Wales.
10:15Well, I'm sure they'll tell us about it in their own good time.
10:18Don't you think the old Belle might have mentioned it the minute it crossed her mind?
10:22Well, since we're watching the pair of them like a flock of hawks.
10:26I think it's a cast of hawks.
10:28Is it any wonder they're avoiding us?
10:31You know, after our pile on the other week.
10:34The poor lass has just lost a baby.
10:36And Tom's had an accident. Is it any wonder they want to get away?
10:39They've got all the support they need right here, though, haven't they?
10:42Friends, family, mental health team for Belle.
10:45And they've got the right to privacy.
10:48Whether we like it or not.
10:51You know, we need to respect that.
10:53Otherwise, there's a chance we might lose her, for good.
10:59PHONE RINGS
11:03Hi, through to Cain. Leave a message.
11:05Cain, it's me. Will you do me a favour? Will you ring me when you get this?
11:08We need to talk about Belle.
11:29Evan's asleep, so no hoovering, all right.
11:32How is he today?
11:34A lot better.
11:36We all are, since that toxic atmosphere's lifted.
11:39If you're referring to Kim, she's my friend.
11:42And this is still her house, and Will is still her husband.
11:46I'm sorry, love, but those ships have sailed.
11:49And if you want to keep your job, I keep it zipped.
11:52PHONE RINGS
11:58Hey, give me a sec. I'm with the cleaner.
12:04My bedroom's a bombsite,
12:06so if you want to crack on, and the bathrooms need doing too,
12:09shut the door behind you when you leave.
12:20Sorry about that.
12:22I've got some news.
12:24Kim's left the building and she won't be coming back.
12:27Will's devastated, but once the trust is gone, it's gone.
12:31That marriage is over. Job done.
12:34Reckon I deserve a bonus, don't you?
12:42They've gone away.
12:44Not a word to any of us.
12:46Not a squeak about this new job of his.
12:49I mean, weren't they meant to be at some family dinner with you tonight?
12:53Maybe she knew you'd turn up and have another go.
12:56Cain, I'm being serious here.
12:58OK, fine, you tell me, hand on heart, that you think him and Bella sound...
13:03If they weren't, we'd know.
13:05It's Tom! I can smell it a mile off.
13:08It doesn't matter what aftershave he splashes on,
13:11there is some evil festering underneath.
13:13I mean, when they're together, no matter what happens,
13:16he never loses his cool, does he? Never shows an ounce of emotion.
13:19He's always really rational and reasonable and caring.
13:23He's just posh.
13:25Well, it's the control that gets me.
13:27And Tom's got too much of it.
13:29She's just a shadow of herself whenever they're together,
13:32which is all the flipping time.
13:34I don't know, he just makes my hackles rise.
13:37And when he smiles at me,
13:39all I'm seeing are these bared teeth underneath.
13:42There's only one other man who made me feel like that.
13:47Bales.
13:49Yeah, everyone loved him, didn't they?
13:51Life and soul, Mr Congeniality,
13:53and it was only ever when he got me on his own that the mask slipped.
13:59I know, Belle, if someone so much as raised a finger in her direction...
14:04That's not how it works, though.
14:06Cos if he has, the minute she speaks out,
14:09she knows there'll be no going back, cos you'd batter him, wouldn't you?
14:12And he'd have to leave, the marriage would be history.
14:15She loves him way too much for that.
14:17So, what, we wait until she doesn't?
14:20I don't know.
14:22But if he's as dangerous as I think he is, we don't have long.
14:31If Kim's going to keep barging in whenever it suits her,
14:34you're going to have to get the locks changed.
14:36No need. She just came to pick some stuff up.
14:38And this is still her home.
14:40Not any more.
14:41She could have killed our daughter.
14:43There's no coming back from that.
14:45Do you know, before all of this, I'd have...
14:48I'd have trusted her with me life.
14:51She's always been there for me. Well, for all of us.
14:55None of this was your fault.
14:57If I'd have known for just one second what she was up to...
15:00I mean, we share a home, we share a bed.
15:03And I still didn't have a clue.
15:06She wanted me out.
15:08But you stood up to her.
15:11You did the right thing for your family.
15:14I'm so proud of you.
15:16Yeah, and look what it cost me.
15:18Well, lucky it didn't cost Dawn her life.
15:21Even though it was me she was aiming for.
15:24Jealousy's a terrible thing,
15:26but we've got shared history, family, grandkids.
15:30Yeah, and with her gone, it means you two can pick up where you left off.
15:33Handy.
15:34Don't be daft.
15:36It's a good job I am here.
15:38Come off it.
15:39You're better off without that snake in your lives.
15:43Our future as a family...
15:45it starts here.
15:47It's here.
16:18Hello, Ella.
16:19Hey.
16:21Are you feeling unwell?
16:24I'll be fine.
16:28You know, Benpreet's doing afternoon surgeries,
16:31so if you need, I'm sure she can fit you in.
16:34I don't, but thanks for asking.
16:37If you'll excuse me, I'll...
16:40I know you don't want me here.
16:43I know you're here.
16:46I know you hate me.
16:49I mean, hate is a...
16:51very strong word.
16:54I'm the last person you wanted to see again.
16:57Now we'll be bumping into each other every day.
17:01Well, we're both adults. I'm sure we can...
17:04find a way through.
17:06Of course we will.
17:09No.
17:15You really don't seem well.
17:17So soon after your accident.
17:19I do have a duty of care, you know.
17:22I'm going to have to insist that you come to see Manpreet. Now.
17:26I can't do that.
17:29Because if I do, then it...
17:31it's all going to come out.
17:33Whether I like it or not.
17:36I wouldn't be fair on you.
17:39What wouldn't?
17:41Ella, look.
17:43What on earth are you talking about?
17:46I'm sorry.
17:50I'm pregnant.
18:01You what?
18:02I'm pregnant.
18:05With your baby.
18:11Liam.
18:22Liam!
18:28You get my message?
18:30Yeah. Three emojis.
18:32A flower, a skull and the exploding head.
18:35Not altogether sure what you're getting at.
18:37Rose!
18:38She's the spiker.
18:40Yeah, I've already worked that one out.
18:42But I've got proof.
18:44I were up at yours today and she took this call.
18:46She ordered me out the living room.
18:48But as soon as the back were turned before I left,
18:50I switched on the baby monitor.
18:52Good work.
18:53I heard everything.
18:54I heard her telling somebody that the job was done, that you'd left.
18:57She even asked for a bonus.
18:59Well, whoever she's working for must be desperate.
19:01Rose is the best thing to do.
19:03Right, so you and me will go straight back up to Home Farm,
19:05tell Will and Dawn exactly what's happened
19:07and you'll be back in your own bed by tonight.
19:10Or we could just sit tight
19:12and wait for the world's least competent plotter to trip herself up.
19:16Somehow I don't think it's going to take too long.
19:19Yeah, but if she's there
19:22and you're here...
19:24Look, I don't want to worry you.
19:27And Will has done nothing to encourage her.
19:31But the way she looks at him,
19:33it's like she's a hungry cat and he's a tin of sardines.
19:37Trust me, Rose is the least of my problems.
19:41I need to find out who's put her up to this.
19:44And when I do, they're going to regret it.
19:47But for now, we keep our friends close
19:50and our enemies closer.
19:52OK?
19:57Thank you.
20:06Er, whiskey, please. Make it a double.
20:08Sure. Are you all right?
20:10Er, no. No, I don't think I am.
20:14Liam, there's things we need to discuss.
20:16Make that two doubles.
20:18You've done it. You've actually told him.
20:20Told him what?
20:22Please, can we go somewhere else?
20:24Tell everyone. Oh, no, she's pregnant.
20:26Apparently.
20:28Oh, that's great. See?
20:30I told you it's better out than in.
20:32Don't fall for it, Liam. I'd want proof if I were you.
20:35Well, shut it, you.
20:37So I take it you've taken her test?
20:39I only found out at the hospital after the crash.
20:41That was the last thing she was expecting to hear.
20:43They reckon I'm a couple of months gone.
20:45That was not on my bingo card today.
20:48Well, I suppose congratulations are in order.
20:50Chas, no, this...
20:53Right, so you say that you're pregnant.
20:55I assume you have some idea of a due date or a first scan?
20:58Have you ever thought about any of that? It's way too soon.
21:01Of course it is.
21:02I am pregnant, Liam. I'm not lying to you.
21:04No, cos it's not as if you've lied to me about anything before, is it?
21:07Liam, she's not lying. And you need to get your head round this.
21:10This does not change a thing.
21:13We are done.
21:22Thank you.
