00:04🎵 Uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, Miami 🎵
00:09🎵 Uh, uh, I only came for two days of playin' 🎵
00:12🎵 But every time I come, I always wind up stayin' 🎵
00:14🎵 This the type of town I can spend a few days in 🎵
00:16Oh, wow. You look terrible. What is wrong?
00:20Thanks. Good morning to you and all.
00:24Lisbeth!
00:26Did Freddy wake up again? Did he say anything?
00:28I'm sorry, Frankie. You'll have to wait until visiting hours.
00:31🎵 I'm going to Miami 🎵
00:34🎵 Welcome to Miami 🎵
00:36🎵 Water so clear, you can see to the bottom 🎵
00:38🎵 Hundred thousand dollar cars, everybody got them 🎵
00:40🎵 Ain't no surprise in the galaxy 🎵
00:42Been in the hangover?
00:44I think me and you need to talk about last night, don't you?
00:46🎵 Party in the city when the heat is on 🎵
00:47🎵 All night on the beach till the break of dawn 🎵
00:49🎵 Welcome to Miami 🎵
00:51🎵 Party in the city when the heat is on 🎵
00:54I won't have said anything to you, Jane, but she was being rude,
00:56and then she went completely blank, so maybe you want to check that, or not?
00:59And why are you outside the hospital?
01:01Um, Darren asked me to check on Freddy.
01:04Oh, she's so fair. I bet he'd look sexy even in a coma.
01:07Seriously, Vicky?
01:08Alright, well, we're headed to the park.
01:10No first day of actual summer and all.
01:12Do you want to come?
01:13I can't. I promised Darren.
01:16Are you sure you're okay?
01:18Yeah. Yeah, it's just busy at hours.
01:21Well, Lexi's living with us now, so she needs looking after.
01:25Is JJ getting better?
01:27I think so.
01:28You're not going to spend your entire summer at the hospital reminding kids, are you?
01:31I don't have a choice.
01:33Some mothers can't just sunbathe and go up at boys all day.
01:37People are actually relying on me.
01:39Okay, okay.
01:41We'll see you later then, yeah?
01:43I'm sure Freddy will wake up soon.
01:45Yeah.
01:47Right, come on.
01:48See you later.
01:49Bye.
01:50Bye.
01:59It wasn't my wife I saw in here last night.
02:02Look, I just had a bit too much to drink.
02:04Okay, and I've apologised to Rowan.
02:06He doesn't seem that bothered, so...
02:08I'm worried about you.
02:09I've noticed it for a while now. You seem anxious.
02:12And I've learned that controlling things is part of your anxiety.
02:14Jamie, this has got nothing to do with my OCD.
02:17Morning, campers! What a beautiful day!
02:20Aw, thanks for coming in.
02:21You know, with the sun cracking the flags and scrap gone, we're just a little bit short-staffed.
02:25It gets me out of the house.
02:26Anyway, what were chatting about?
02:28Look, Suzanne, can you just go and check the toilets for us, please?
02:33Come here.
02:36Listen.
02:38If you're self-medicating with alcohol...
02:40Tony, it was my birthday.
02:42I had a glass of wine or two, so what?
02:44Looks like your dad went to stop.
02:46And now what's you drink?
02:48Eh?
02:49What, your Chateau Nerve and your whisky?
02:51And all the pints that your mates buy for you when they come in here?
02:53Yeah, I drink with friends, not alone, and I don't do it to get through the day.
02:56You hypocrite!
02:58Come on, you make it look like I put out my cornflakes every morning.
03:00I'm not saying that you're an alcoholic.
03:02I've got four kids.
03:04We've got four kids.
03:05Do you know, every minute of the day...
03:08I'm worrying, right?
03:09If I'm doing my best?
03:10Is Row happy?
03:11Can I make his life any easier?
03:13How are Ant and Dee Dee coping with everything?
03:15Well, you're not alone.
03:16Well, it feels it.
03:18And so what?
03:19Eh?
03:20So what if I have a drink at the end of a long day?
03:23I'm such a derby.
03:25Do you know what? I need one to put up with you.
03:30Babe, they seem a little warm.
03:32Are you sure they're feeding okay?
03:33They are not warm, and they are feeding absolutely fine.
03:36Look, are you okay? I'm worried about you.
03:39You're not sleeping, you're not eating.
03:41I am fine.
03:42Mm-hmm.
03:43Look, I've just been thinking about Cass and McQueen.
03:48When are you thinking about opening it?
03:50You know it's not that easy when the family find out about you.
03:54So just tell them.
03:56Look, I am always going to regret what happened to Hunter
03:59for the rest of my life.
04:01But Cass and McQueen, it's not just for the twins.
04:04It's for the whole family.
04:06The McQueens come as a package,
04:08and I'm investing in all of them.
04:10Just don't be expecting them to crack out the egg butters, yeah?
04:13Cass and McQueen could be a little goldmine.
04:17Look, just tell them, and we'll deal with it together.
04:22I need to get back.
04:24But you're okay, yes?
04:25Yeah, I'm fine.
04:26All right. See you in a bit.
04:30Come on, girls. Let's go.
04:34See you, girls.
04:41MUSIC PLAYS
05:04I totally showed myself again, didn't I?
05:08Did you really mean that?
05:10That the only way to cope with me is by having a drink?
05:13No.
05:14Of course not.
05:17I just feel persecuted.
05:20Every day I wake up,
05:21wondering what the world's going to throw at me next.
05:24What are the problems our kids will face that I can't handle?
05:28Look, Ro's going through a difficult time right now.
05:31But when he gets what he needs,
05:33when he's more comfortable in his own skin,
05:36all this stress will be worth it.
05:38And how long will that take?
05:40You know, it's going to be two years
05:41before he can even see someone from gender services.
05:44He's just being left to deal with all this by himself,
05:47and we're being left.
05:48We're just being abandoned.
05:50Well, we're getting him counselling.
05:53And at least he's in the system now. He's seeing the GP.
05:56He's happy, he's coping, he's not suffering.
05:58He's got us, his family, to look after him.
06:00Tony, you make it sound so easy.
06:04What happens when the ball does finally start rolling?
06:08Is that why you've been drinking?
06:10Block it all out?
06:13I'm just sick of people thinking they know what's best for us.
06:16Who?
06:17Everyone.
06:19Doctors, social media,
06:21neighbours chipping in with the bad advice.
06:23They're not actually living on our shoes.
06:26What can I do, Diane?
06:28I mean, how can I make things better?
06:30I'll get up with Eva in the morning so you can have a lay-in.
06:33I'll do the kids' homework with them.
06:35Or why don't you go to the salon and pamper yourself?
06:38Glass of wine in one hand.
06:42The next time you feel like reaching for a glass of wine,
06:44why don't you reach for me instead?
06:46I might be all you need.
06:48Maybe you're right.
06:50Maybe I just need to take a bit of time out for myself.
06:54I used to love swimming.
06:56Maybe start going to the baths again.
06:58That's the spirit.
06:59Yeah.
07:00Don't need a drink, I just...
07:02just need to be thankful for what I've got.
07:10I'm afraid Freddy didn't say a word.
07:13And he didn't wake up again.
07:15Yeah, but his eyes were opening when I was talking to him.
07:18It's not uncommon for people in an induced coma to open their eyes.
07:23So he didn't hear anything that I was saying?
07:25Well, it's hard to tell.
07:29What people can and can't hear.
07:31Freddy's very sedated,
07:33but as soon as he shows signs of improvement,
07:36we'll bring him out of the coma,
07:38and you can ask him yourself.
07:43I'm going to stay for Lexi, if I have to.
07:47Oi!
07:48Do you want to get your hands off my husband?
07:51Husband?
07:52Oh, yeah, Grace.
07:53Yeah, more to the point, who are you?
07:55I'm Freddy's niece.
07:58Oh, Frankie.
08:00Sorry, it's just there are a few people who aren't very fond of him at the moment.
08:05The doctor said she was talking to him when his eyes opened.
08:08Don't know what he said, but I gave him a jolt.
08:11Yeah, it was weird.
08:13We were just talking about...
08:15well, nothing, really.
08:17Well, I reckon he heard you.
08:21Which gives me hope that he's going to wake up properly.
08:24Yeah.
08:26Yeah, he really needs to wake up.
08:31Hey, come here.
08:37Thank God you were passing by.
08:39No, I could have died.
08:41The whole barbecue just burst into flames.
08:43It's nothing to do with this lighter fluid, I suppose.
08:46I couldn't decide between chipolatas or spicy dropwursts,
08:50so I got both.
08:53Theresa?
08:54What are you doing?
08:56I said I was going to do the barbecue.
08:58Your girlfriend had a bit of an accident.
09:01How many times have I got to tell you?
09:03You don't put lighter fluid on a barbecue, you silly sausage.
09:08For the record, she's not my girlfriend.
09:11She's my cousin, in case you were interested.
09:15Good to know.
09:16I like the sound of your spicy dropwurst.
09:18So I might be back later for a nibble.
09:21See you around.
09:24Theresa?
09:25Did you almost set yourself on fire to win a bet?
09:28Yeah, and if you hadn't have muscled your way in,
09:30I'd have brought you home with 50 quid.
09:32Will you just stop? I need to say something important.
09:35Look, you know I want my girls to have the best of everything.
09:39And that means a solid start in life.
09:42So I've been keeping something from you,
09:44and it's time that I tell you the truth.
09:46I opened your delivery.
09:48Yeah, Cass McQueen is out with the bar in the cellar.
09:51Oh, no.
09:53There you all are.
09:54What's happening, fam? What have I missed?
09:56Prince! How is Alicante? How's Nana?
09:58She's sound. She sends her love.
10:00Nice to see you home, mate.
10:06Sutter was a brick.
10:08It's creepy, though.
10:10Let him try this on me.
10:13Any leads?
10:15You shouldn't be drinking.
10:17Still could be Freddy.
10:18I've already told you that Freddy is not blue.
10:21You're being paranoid.
10:22So who is it, then?
10:23Look, whoever this is,
10:26he's trying to mess with my head.
10:28Breaking into my flat.
10:30Swapping round the pictures.
10:32We're not going to open today.
10:34You can leave.
10:36I want you to come to Tuscany with me next week.
10:38You can bring Mercedes if you want.
10:40I'm going nowhere.
10:42I'm staying right here.
10:43I'm ready for him.
10:46Who's there?
10:48Warren.
10:50There's no one else here.
10:59Warren, what's happening to you?
11:02Is anyone going to say anything?
11:20And this is all yours?
11:22Ours.
11:23This is Casa McQueen.
11:26How can you afford a cafe?
11:28Well, it came up for sale.
11:29I had a moment of madness,
11:31I applied for a loan and I got it.
11:33This is going to make us so much money, guys.
11:36Our very own tapas cafe.
11:38We're going to sell them little green peppers for the lot.
11:41And those cheesy triangle thingies.
11:42Manchego, yeah.
11:43And them chips with everything.
11:45This is going to be like we're living in Alicante every single day.
11:49And you are going to be head waitress.
11:51Going to flirt with all punters.
11:52Sally's going to do the books.
11:54And out here, there's going to be parasols and sexy waiters.
11:57Well, Prince is top off.
12:00Oh, Nana's going to love this.
12:01She's been making sangria, hasn't she?
12:03I can't believe we've got our own tapas thingy.
12:05Get me in.
12:15You kept this quiet?
12:17I wanted to surprise you all.
12:19Lift your spirits up a bit.
12:21Look like it worked for Prince, even if it is just for a day.
12:24Sure it'll bring the family together?
12:27It will.
12:28You know, this is me mapping out a future for our kids.
12:31For all of us.
12:33So come on.
12:35Crack a smile.
12:36Be happy.
12:39Long live Casa McQueen.
12:42That's it.
12:48Seriously, you've got the latest Combat Raiders Annihilation Arm?
12:51Yeah, he bought it for me.
12:52I've asked my dad loads for that game, but he said it's too graphic.
12:56Bet he'd buy it for Ro though.
12:58What do you mean?
12:59She's getting all the attention, isn't she?
13:01He. And there was no need for what you said yesterday.
13:03All that stuff about him being a girl.
13:05What? She told you?
13:07I was only messing. Ro needs to get a sense of humour.
13:11Well, I am right.
13:13Your mum and dad are obsessed with her.
13:15They've basically forgotten you exist.
13:17Look, are you coming to play the game or what?
13:19Because I can always ask Abe if he wants to.
13:21I'm coming.
13:22Oh, Frankie was back at the hospital bright and early this morning.
13:26She must think a lot of her Uncle Freddy.
13:28Yeah.
13:30Do you know, I've no idea what's going on with my kids half the time.
13:33Join the club.
13:34Listen, has Tony really accused you of having a drinking problem?
13:38Well, I have. I have been a bit reliant on it.
13:40You run a pub. I've been there.
13:42The old tipple at the end of the day.
13:43Nothing wrong with that, as long as it's only one or two.
13:46Yeah. Yeah, that's all it is, mostly.
13:49People are so judgmental.
13:51Do you know, they've got me pegged as being a bad mum.
13:53Mine turned out fine.
13:55Yeah, it's okay to enjoy a little drink, isn't it?
13:57You know, I enjoy it. It relaxes me.
13:59Of course it is. You're an adult.
14:01And you've got a lot going on, what with Ro wanting to be a boy.
14:05Limefield, isn't it?
14:07But you are a great mum, and you work hard.
14:09Nobody should begrudge you having the odd glass of wine.
14:13Yeah, you're right.
14:14But I promise Tony that I'll try.
14:16And do you know what? I just want to prove to myself that I can.
14:18I can have an alcohol-free day.
14:21Are you feeling any better?
14:23Yeah. I just can't believe I bawled my eyes out.
14:26Hey, there's no shame in that.
14:28But I promise I won't tell a soul.
14:30I mean, I don't know what I'm going to do if Freddy doesn't wake up.
14:33Yeah. I just feel bad for Lexie.
14:36I mean, she really needs a dad.
14:38Could she stay with you for a bit?
14:41I really wish she could, but there's no room at Cindy's.
14:44I can't even have my own son.
14:46I really wish she could, but there's no room at Cindy's.
14:49I can't even have my own son with me. Curtis is still in care.
14:52I am desperate for him to come home,
14:54but sometimes we've got to do what's right and not what's best for ourselves.
14:57Yeah, I know.
15:00You remind me a bit of me.
15:02You're a tough little cookie.
15:04Freddy is lucky to have you looking out for him.
15:08Here. Thanks for taking that to Lexie.
15:11Yeah, no problem.
15:16Any news on Blue?
15:18In case you haven't noticed, my husband is in a coma,
15:21so I'm a little bit preoccupied.
15:23Look, Warren is spiralling out of control.
15:25He's extremely volatile, which makes him dangerous.
15:27I don't care.
15:29Yeah, well, you should, because he still thinks it could be Freddy.
15:32And if that stays in his mind, festering,
15:34then nothing and no-one will stop him.
15:37We have to find out who Blue Reddy is.
15:47PHONE RINGS
15:55Yeah, get me by the menu.
16:02Looks good in there.
16:04Want to christen the voyage with me?
16:06I'm in recovery.
16:08Zero per cent.
16:09Yeah, go on, then.
16:11Do you really think I can make her go this place?
16:14I think you can do anything you put your mind to.
16:16Look, I'm proud of you, you know.
16:19You've given the family a job, an income, security.
16:24You've done it all by yourself.
16:27Oh, no.
16:28What's up?
16:29What does mañana mean?
16:31Er, tomorrow. Why?
16:33I've just posted this to about ten million followers.
16:36I thought it meant welcome, sexy men.
16:38Theresa, have you just told the whole world that we open tomorrow?
16:41Look, what are we supposed to do? Cos we're clearly not ready.
16:44Oh, this is nice, isn't it? Bit of family time.
16:47I don't need to have my tea at Arlo's.
16:50Why does Dee Dee get to miss this and I can't?
16:52Cos she is at a karate lesson.
16:55Hey, listen, you two.
16:57I'm so sorry about yesterday.
16:59Like, I am mortified that I ruined the party
17:01and I didn't mean to embarrass you both.
17:04And the present that you got me was really thoughtful.
17:07And I'm really trying to change.
17:10Come on, kids, give your mum a break.
17:14It was sort of funny seeing everyone's faces when you wrapped up drunk.
17:19Anyway, to make up for it,
17:21we have got you this.
17:26Cool.
17:27Well, your old one's as flat as a pancake.
17:29And I've been thinking, now you're on the courts,
17:31maybe you need a little nickname. How about The Hutch?
17:33Oh, what?
17:34So you won't get me a video game, but you'll get Ro a basketball.
17:37That's exercise. It's a hobby.
17:39Sorry, I'm sure Ro let you have a little bounce.
17:41But come on, you, you can help me load the dishwasher.
17:44Listen, I went swimming earlier
17:46and I found this on the news report.
17:49It's an online forum.
17:51It might not have all the answers that you need,
17:53but you could make some new friends.
17:56It might help you feel like you're on your own.
18:00Thanks, Mum.
18:01So after we clean up, how about I help you set up your account?
18:06Got your favourite? Ham, pineapple?
18:08And anchovies. I might need cheering up.
18:11Amazing.
18:12I'm starving.
18:13So how's Freddy?
18:15Erm, still asleep.
18:18Look, I was a right cow earlier, I'm sorry.
18:21Oh, it's forgotten.
18:22Your family's more chaotic than mine is at the minute anyways.
18:25We can't be grim all the time.
18:26Plus it's summer.
18:27We need to be partying hard before you ditch us for dance school.
18:30Erm, yeah, I actually might not go.
18:34What? Why?
18:36Because if Freddy doesn't wake up from the coma,
18:39then someone's got to look after Lexi.
18:41Yeah, but there's loads of people at the house.
18:43Your mum, JJ.
18:45Right, and Lexi needs me.
18:47I can't let her down.
18:48I have to stay here and make sure she's OK.
18:51Gotta do the right thing.
18:55Anyway, erm...
18:58Hey, there's a programme about Roman sewers on at ten o'clock,
19:02so I'm thinking a nice bath and then under the duvet on the couch.
19:05All right, go for it.
19:06I am going to have a nice early night too with a good book and a cup of tea.
19:09All right. Goodnight.
19:10Goodnight.
19:21Do you want a cup of tea, love?
19:23Yes, please.
19:32This is going to be a laugh.
