00:30Still no reply from Moira.
00:33Hopefully she's busy sacking John.
00:35Oh, come on.
00:36What? It was definitely him?
00:38We don't know that for sure.
00:40Who else could it have been?
00:42Exactly!
00:43We don't even know if it was done deliberately.
00:46I asked John, he said it wasn't him.
00:48Right, and you're gullible enough to believe that.
00:49I just don't think he'd do something like that.
00:51Someone made sure that the bull could get back into the barn.
00:54It was him.
00:56Why are you so quick to defend him, anyway?
00:57I've not defended anyone.
00:59Your best mate's in here with concussion because of him.
01:02Face it, Aaron, the boy's a liar.
01:04The truth will come out one way or another.
01:14Waking up in your own bed is one of life's simplest pleasures.
01:17I'm no international jet-setter like you,
01:19but wherever I go, I do enjoy coming home.
01:23Just in time.
01:24I've prepared your favourite breakfast.
01:26Ah.
01:28What are you after?
01:29Nothing. Just to show you how glad I am that you're home.
01:32Hmm.
01:34You know, I was thinking...
01:37you should try talking to Dawn today.
01:39I don't think there's any point.
01:41It's got to be worth a go, surely.
01:42Kim, we've talked about this.
01:44I think they just need a bit more time.
01:47We can't let it drag on forever.
01:49I know that, but...
01:51let's just leave them be for now, eh?
01:53Bye. You go.
01:56Right. Better get this eaten and crack on.
02:00Got admin to do.
02:01Oh, and I've got a meeting tomorrow I've got to prep for
02:04with my new financial adviser,
02:06the very dashing Peter.
02:08Oh. Should I be worried?
02:11I don't know. Should you?

02:24Mackenzie's lucky that wasn't worse yesterday.
02:27Certainly is.
02:28An unexpected face-off with a 2,000-pound bull.
02:30Never good.
02:32I got chased by a herd of cows once.
02:34That was bad enough.
02:35Get her a coffee, please, Jimmy.
02:37Any word on Mackenzie?
02:38He's concossed and a bit bruised, but he'll live.
02:41Glad to hear it.
02:43He's not happy, though.
02:44Give him our best when you see him.
02:45Yeah, I will.
02:51I want a word.
02:55Do you indeed?
02:56Yeah.
02:58About yesterday?
02:59I thought we'd had that conversation.
03:01Well, we're having it again.
03:02Bit presumptuous.
03:04I'm being serious.
03:05I can see that.
03:07Mackenzie could have been seriously hurt.
03:09Well...
03:11...maybe run along and report back that he's barking up the wrong tree.
03:14Because I had nothing to do with it.
03:27You're going to wear a hole in that.
03:29And it wasn't cheap.
03:30Sorry.
03:34Well, if you've got something to say, spit it out.
03:37I know you, Lydia.
03:40Well...
03:42...actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
03:46Yeah, I'd already figured that bit out.
03:48And it's not an easy thing to discuss.
03:51Sounds ominous.
03:53Hopefully not a pay rise.
03:55No, it's about Will.
03:58Right, let me stop you right there.
04:03You're about to tell me about Rose trying it on with him, aren't you?
04:06Well, I know all about it.
04:08And it wasn't entirely his fault.
04:10But...
04:11He's assured me nothing else happened.
04:15And I believe him.
04:16Yeah, well...
04:18I appreciate your concern.
04:20But I don't want to talk about it anymore.
04:23It's my marriage.
04:24My business.
04:26So please, just...
04:27...stay out of it.
04:33Here you go.
04:35Two mango nohitos.
04:37A bit decadent, isn't it, for the afternoon?
04:39Well, if someone else is paying.
04:41I quite like this grown-up kids thing.
04:43Oh, just letting you know, I might have to nip to the shop.
04:45We're running low on passata.
04:47We've just had a delivery in.
04:48It was on the order.
04:50Oh, I'd better go and check it. Come with me.
04:52Right, I'll be back in a minute.
04:55I'm sure I ordered them.
04:58No chance.
05:00Come on, Arthur, I just want to talk to her.
05:02I said no.
05:04For no one.
05:05Any communication between you and her...
05:07...goes through me.
05:08Hey!
05:09I am warning you.
05:11You'd better listen.
05:12You are not taking that house away from my mum.
05:14You know, it's really sad...
05:16...seeing you go from a sweet little kid...
05:18...to a manipulative interferer.
05:20Yeah?
05:21I had a good teacher.
05:24Come back with something concrete...
05:25...about the divorce by the end of the day.
05:28Or I might just have to ring Priya...
05:29...and check she knows what you've been doing to mum.
05:35I'm glad you popped in, actually.
05:37Yeah?
05:38It's just, er...
05:39...I've been having a think...
05:40...and I've decided...
05:42...not to sell those haulage shares after all.
05:46Right. Any particular reason?
05:48Not really.
05:49Well, you were desperate to sell yesterday.
05:52You had to persuade me.
05:53I know that, er...
05:54...heat of the moment.
05:56Er, it doesn't really make sense, is it, Jimmy?
05:59I got carried away.
06:01Me and Nicola...
06:02Carried away?
06:04Me and Nicola, we've had another talk...
06:07...and we've decided now's not a good time to sell.
06:10Right. Well...
06:12...we often might not still be on the table if you change your mind again.
06:14We won't. We made our decision.
06:16Fair enough. Your call.
06:19Thanks, Caleb.
06:19Oh, not at all.
06:20A man can change his mind if he wants.
06:23What's this?
06:24Oh, I was just saying...
06:25...a man can change his mind if he don't again.
06:27The haulage.
06:29Right. He's told you, then?
06:30He has.
06:31And?
06:33Plenty of other places for me to invest my money.
06:35One door closes and all that.
06:40Thanks, mate.
06:41Last thing I need is that swindler as a business partner.
06:44I've got bigger problems to deal with.
06:47Came yesterday with a bunch of roses.
06:51I know what you did.
06:54It's about the kiss with Rose.
06:56Actually, I...
06:57...I might not have been 100% honest about that.
07:02Oh, how amazing was that?
07:04Hearing all those lovely comments about Frankie from a key worker.
07:07It was great. Really great.
07:09Not that we need anyone else to tell us what a little superstar she is.
07:12Always nice, though, innit?
07:14Do you know what?
07:15I reckon we can give ourselves a pat on the back.
07:19I don't think we're doing too badly at this...
07:21...separated parenting malarkey.
07:23Yeah, I think you might be right.
07:25Oh, and these are just the cutest things ever.
07:29Yeah, you can keep your Rolexes and your gold chains.
07:31A homemade Best Daddy bracelet from my daughter is the only bling I need.
07:36I think we deserve them.
07:37Yeah, we do.
07:41I'm really glad we can be like this, you know.
07:44Just getting on for Frankie.
07:47And I know I don't deserve it after everything.
07:51Let's not go into all that now, eh?
07:53PHONE RINGS
08:00Something wrong?
08:02No, it's fine. I'd better go, though.
08:05Are you sure nothing's up?
08:07Yeah, sorry, Trace. I just need to get this.
08:15Oh!
08:17You're a whole male matador.
08:19Yeah, I've never heard that before.
08:21All joking aside, I've been worried sick.
08:23I'm not worried enough to reply to my texts, though.
08:25What? I didn't get any texts.
08:26You definitely did, Moira.
08:28Well, I've been flat out. I must have missed it.
08:31Are you all right?
08:32Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I'll live to fight another day.
08:35Just not with a £2,000 bill?
08:37Probably not, no. How you doing?
08:39Yeah, good.
08:40And what were you doing with that thing in there, anyway?
08:42It wasn't meant to be there.
08:45We've got a pretty good idea how it happened, though, haven't we?
08:49Listen, this has gone far enough.
08:53I did ask him again and he said it wasn't him.
08:55And you're willing to believe someone you barely know?
08:57Why don't you just back off, Mackenzie?
08:59This is all because you've got a pathetic crush on him, isn't it?
09:01Well, I think you need to stay out of my business.
09:03Oh, so you all know what happened yesterday as well, then?
09:07What happened yesterday?
09:09When I walked in on these two.
09:11Did you?
09:13Seriously?
09:14So this was when you were apparently asking him if he let the bill back in?
09:18I didn't have anything to do with that, all right?
09:20Do you know what, mate? You crack on.
09:21If you're that desperate, fire away.
09:23You stay out of my way.
09:25I'm telling you, for the last time,
09:28I did not open the barn door.
09:32Actually, I think that might have had something to do with me.
09:49MUSIC
09:53I didn't realise that you were going to be in there.
09:55Moira, you were the one who told me to go and fix the quad.
09:58Did I?
09:59Yeah.
10:01OK, well, I'm sorry.
10:02It should be John that you're apologising to.
10:04He's the one who's been getting the blame for it all.
10:06Well, not for me he hasn't, but I'm sorry, John.
10:10It's fine. No, it's not fine at all.
10:14Mackenzie.
10:16What?
10:17Do you not think you should apologise as well?
10:19What, to him?
10:20Of course, to him. Who else?
10:22Keep your apologies. I'm not interested.
10:24Oh, I wouldn't worry. There wasn't one coming.
10:26Right, I think we'd just better get you inside, yeah?
10:29Right, fine.
10:30But I'd be careful if I were you, Aaron.
10:32You might not be responsible for yesterday, but it doesn't change anything.
10:35He's still a snake.
10:38I was drunk and we kissed.
10:41It should have ended there.
10:42Well, it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
10:45But then I went knocking on her door.
10:48And one thing led to another.
10:50I regretted it straight away.
10:52And I thought that Rose had only told Dawn,
10:54so I just figured that it'd go away, but...
10:58Now this.
11:00She'll be messing with you.
11:01Trying to get under your skin.
11:03Well, it's worked, hasn't it?
11:05You're definitely sure it's her?
11:07Who else could it be?
11:09What about Dawn?
11:11She doesn't want Oak to do with me anymore.
11:13No, it's Rose. I know it is.
11:15Have you asked her?
11:16I sent her a message on social media.
11:18She didn't get back to me.
11:20It don't look like she's been online.
11:22Well, I suppose you just have to ignore it and hope it goes away.
11:26Either that or head it off at the pass.
11:29It's your call, but...
11:32if I was you, I'd be hanging tight and praying hard.
11:40John, I'm sorry about all of this.
11:41Yeah, mistakes happen.
11:43Well, not mistakes that nearly get people killed.
11:47Mac doesn't help, though.
11:49Running around, making accusations,
11:51throwing his toys out the pram.
11:53Maybe not, but he's still my brother,
11:55so I need to stand by him.
11:57Especially when it was my stupidity that nearly got him killed.
12:01What exactly are you trying to say here?
12:04That I'm sorry.
12:06But you and him, it doesn't really seem to work, does it?
12:10Are you sacking me?
12:12No, I'm not sacking you, but...
12:16Oh, OK.
12:19Fair enough. I mean, my van's fixed now.
12:21I would've been leaving soon anyway.
12:24I mean, it'd be great if you could work your notice.
12:26But if you want to leave straight away, I'll pay you what you do.
12:30You deserve that much.
12:31It's fine. I won't leave you in the lurch.
12:35I'll carry on till you find a replacement.
12:37Well, thanks, John.
12:39Look, I'm sorry it's come to this. I really am.
12:43Look, the bottom line is, we need a cash injection.
12:46The cost of expanding the warehouse, it's getting bigger every day.
12:49It's a massive drain on funds.
12:51Are my cash flowing great?
12:53Well, I've already put a fortune into this.
12:56Plus the ten grand that I gave you to bribe the council guy.
12:59I thought that was supposed to be greasing the wheels.
13:01It will.
13:02Look, it's not my fault the goalposts keep shifting.
13:05You need to pick up the slack on this one.
13:07No, I haven't got another spare penny.
13:10Well, I'm sorry, Jay, but you're the co-owner of this business.
13:13The contract, which you read a million times before signing, by the way,
13:16says you're just as liable as me for any unexpected costs.
13:19Yeah, well, the words blood and stone spring to mind.
13:23What about Laurel?
13:25What about her?
13:26Well, you're in the middle of divorce negotiations.
13:28Now's the time to turn a screw.
13:30Maximise your settlement.
13:32I can't do that.
13:32Why not?
13:33I just can't, all right?
13:35Things have changed and I need us to be on good terms.
13:39So what?
13:40You're just going to sit there and watch our business potentially fail?
13:44It's not going to fail.
13:45I bet Laurel's not sat over there thinking about how she can play Mr Nice Guy.
13:48So why should you be?
13:54Are you still stewing about that phone call?
13:56Kind of.
13:57I mean, I've got no right to be bothered.
13:59I know that.
14:00Oh, as if it's that simple.
14:02We've both got to move on.
14:03And if Nate's met someone, then good for him.
14:06He deserves to be happy.
14:08What? It's the truth.
14:09I mean, it's been months now.
14:11He's got every right to get on with his life.
14:14Yeah, of course he has.
14:16What? Trace, I'm agreeing with you.
14:18It would just be good to know who, though.
14:20You know, if they're going to be around Frankie.
14:23And this is all just about Frankie, is it?
14:27I am sorry that I blurted that out before.
14:30It's done now.
14:32Trust me, John.
14:33The chance of you having an easy and stable relationship with Aaron Dingle is zero.
14:39Who said anything about a relationship? It was a bit of fun, that's all.
14:43Just don't get caught in a big mess.
14:45Because you'll only be giving yourself a load of grief.
14:47Is this you doing here?
14:48I don't need complications bit again.
14:51What's he doing here?
14:52I asked him to come.
14:53Why?
14:57You seem to spend a lot of time getting told what to do.
15:00Well, actually, I've come to tell her to back off about yesterday.
15:03I just wanted to talk to you both about all this.
15:06All this what?
15:07Well, you two.
15:08And I really don't want to stick my nose in.
15:09Well, it sounds like you're getting in.
15:11Wait a minute.
15:13You two are the ones who've been sneaking around and lying to me.
15:16So don't have a go.
15:17That's because it's none of your business, Vic.
15:19Alright, alright, alright. I'm going to make this easier for both of you.
15:21You don't have to worry about any of this because I'm leaving anyway.
15:24Moira's ended my contract at the farm.
15:27What?
15:29Well, my van's fixed.
15:30I was always going to go when that happened. You know that.
15:32But you can't just leave.
15:35It's for the best.
15:37But you belong here.
15:39Can I say anything to make you stay?
15:55I was out of line.
15:58John's bad news and Aaron needs to be careful.
16:02Yeah, he said.
16:04Hang on. You were just as convinced as I was that John let the bull in.
16:13Well, do you think that I should speak to Aaron?
16:15I'm not getting involved, okay?
16:17Leave me out of it.
16:18Well, I'm certainly not apologising to John.
16:20Yeah, I think you already said that and all.
16:22But you do think that I should say sorry to Aaron?
16:25I don't know.
16:26It's up to you. Might be an idea.
16:29Before you spoil your little bromance.
16:33Bromance?
16:34Okay, sorry. Beautiful friendship.
16:39Are you jealous?
16:41Huh!
16:44Fine, fine. Okay, fine. If it makes you happy, I'll do it.
16:48Might as well get it over and done with.
16:52I love you.
16:57Hello?
16:59What do you want?
17:01Is your mum around?
17:03Can't you get the message? You're not welcome here.
17:06I just want to talk.
17:08I've already told you. If you want to talk to her, you go through me.
17:11Arthur, I'm not here to cause trouble, okay? I just want to give her this.
17:15Yeah, and what's that?
17:17Listen, I've been doing a bit of thinking since me and you spoke earlier.
17:21I've been thinking.
17:24And you're right.
17:28I want your mum to feel secure here.
17:32Knowing that I won't contest the place.
17:36I want things to be amicable, okay?
17:40Life is too short to be arguing about money and houses.
17:44I'm glad you've come to your senses. Finally.
17:48What happened between me and you earlier, it spooked me if I'm honest.
17:53You being like that.
17:55Yeah, well, you deserve it.
17:57Well, maybe so.
17:59But just don't become like me, Arthur, okay? That's all I'm saying.
18:03Trust me, I can see it in you, and you don't want that.
18:09You might not be my real son, but it feels like you are.
18:13Even if you can't stand the sight of me.
18:15The last thing I want is you and me at each other's throats, alright?
18:20So any game playing stops it.
18:28I didn't expect to see you.
18:32You're both looking so serious.
18:36Jay's come to give you something.
18:40I won't be contesting the house.
18:44And I've put it in writing.
18:48It's all yours.
18:50No more arguments.
18:58Hi, John.
19:00Can we chat?
19:02Just before you make any decisions about leaving.
19:04It's just, I really want you to stay.
19:08And I wondered if we could talk about it.
19:12So just call me back, okay?
19:17With any luck, Rose will get bored and move on.
19:21Unless someone else has got it in for me.
19:25You reckon it could be Lydia?
19:27Maybe.
19:29Yeah, I'm just having a quick coffee.
19:31No way. I wouldn't put it past her.
19:33I never saw her brought in them flowers.
19:35How do I know that it's not her?
19:37And there's been some strange comments and funny looks.
19:41You really think she could do something like this?
19:46Maybe.
19:48All I'm saying is, I can't rule it out.
19:50I suppose.
19:52So, why didn't you ask her?
20:08I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
20:10It's not me you should be apologising to.
20:15I'm not going to apologise to him, am I?
20:17Listen, I know I overstepped the mark.
20:21It's none of my business who you see or what you do.
20:25No, it's not.
20:27But, you do deserve better than-
20:29Mackenzie.
20:31I'm just saying, don't sell yourself short.
20:35Okay, I thought you came to apologise.
20:37Well, I did. There.
20:39Oh, that was an apology.
20:41But if you're determined to be with a complete and utter-
20:44No, seriously, just-
20:46Okay, fine. I won't cause any more problems for you and him from now on.
20:50I promise.
20:52Well, there is no me and him.
20:54Oh. Oh, okay. Cool.
20:58So, do you forgive me?
21:00Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.
21:02Great.
21:04Okay.
