00:00No problem. It's too big, or too complicated, that it can't be run away from.
00:17Plato?
00:18Charlie Brown.
00:19Rose hasn't replied to my message, which, if it was her, she would do, just to gloat.
00:25Anyway, process of elimination. If it's not Lydia, or Dawn, what about Billy?
00:32No, Dawn won't let Billy do this.
00:34He might have gone rogue. At any rate, you need to rule him out. And while we're at it,
00:39what about Ruby and Caleb? He's always wanted to get his hands on Home Farm. And she hired
00:45Rose to try and destroy you all.
00:47Oh, don't worry. They're on my list.
00:52The mahoosive bracket were enough.
00:54Well, queen for the day. Anyway, I'll be getting some of that cash back later, won't I, when
00:58you buy your first legal drink? What are your plans?
01:01Well, Lydia's got Esther for me this morning, and then I think Kerry's just going to take
01:05me into town for a bit of shopping. But apart from buying my first drink and getting a photo
01:10op, that's it.
01:11Hey, you're 18. You should be out raging with your mates.
01:14Well, I did have another offer.
01:17Noah?
01:18Oh, have you two made up?
01:20No. No, sorry to burst your love bubble, but it's over for good.
01:25Just an old mate from school. But I can't really ask Lydia to babysit again for me tonight,
01:30so I was going to be a little bit cheeky and ask if you're good.
01:33Of course you can. The girl's working all evening, so don't bother rushing back.
01:37Honestly, Chas, I really don't know what I'd have done without you since Dad went away.
01:41Well, you're practically a dingo now, aren't you? And I promised Dan that I'd look out
01:45for you. To be quite honest with you, it's a pleasure. We're both so proud of you.
01:49Yeah, he sent me a lovely card. The stuff he wrote in it were beautiful.
01:53Happy birthday. Have a good one.
01:56Thanks. I will do now.
02:00Hey. Morning surgery.
02:06Wow, get him. Respectful and keeping his distance.
02:09Let's hop upstairs, shall we?
02:11Happy birthday.
02:12Thanks.
02:23You working here now?
02:25Oh, just a bit of shelf stacking. Keeping my hand in.
02:28Where's Eric?
02:29No idea. No one tells me anything. Tracey's out the back, though, powdering her nose.
02:34Let's face it, her mug needs all the help makeup can give it.
02:37And she trusted you alone with the till?
02:39Well, I might just shoplift these two.
02:41Don't worry, I won't tell.
02:43Much.
02:44Oh, yeah, I forgot. You're a lot better at keeping secrets than I am. How is Rose?
02:49No idea. She served her purpose, so if she reared her head again, I'd ghost her.
02:54So who are you playing war games with these days?
02:56Certainly not you lot. I am so over that Tarzan feud. It got old fast. So you're quite safe.
03:19The way it used to be.
03:31The way it used to be.
03:49Where's Moira?
03:58Oh, she's having a lie down. There's some tea in the pot.
04:01Oh, you're back to work already?
04:03Oh, well, him and John are outside doing the heavy lifting. I've been relegated to tea boy.
04:07Yeah, and you're underqualified for that. I know, so sit down. I'll do it.
04:10Very annoying for you that I'll live.
04:12What? To fight another day?
04:14Sounds like you were doing that yesterday with John.
04:18Come on, I made a mistake. I got it wrong. Can we just leave it? Nothing to see.
04:22Yeah, and hopefully I can stop playing referee between you two now.
04:26You must be getting sick of looking out for him there. I mean, when do you get to have a life?
04:31I do alright.
04:32Oh, do you now? Where? On the dating apps? Have you struck lucky yet?
04:38I'm not on any dating apps, so no way.
04:42Oh, er, my only other topic of combo is Johnny. Looking forward to going back to school, little swot.
04:49Well, definitely not Moses.
04:51Ah, Wednesday night's coming over to play video games and eat my biscuits. Weekend's good for us.
04:56Sure, yeah, just don't call it a play date because you know they're lads now.
05:00I'll stick some counts in the fridge for him. See you later.
05:04See you.
05:08How's she fishing? You met someone?
05:12No, but I've been offered another job in Scotland, swapping farm labouring for wind farming.
05:21Wow, congrats. Big decision.
05:25Yeah, the money's better, there's proper training and it's a growing, sustainable industry.
05:32So what's the but?
05:34Frankie.
05:36What does Tracy think to it all?
05:38Well, she don't know yet because I haven't decided if I'm going to take it.
05:41Right, and when do you need to make a decision?
05:44By tomorrow, if I want a place on the next training course.
05:53Here you go. Two pizzas, right, for drinks.
05:57Enjoy.
06:01Aaron?
06:02Yeah?
06:03I'm sorry I keep kicking off. Can we please clear the air?
06:06It's fine, Vic, I get it.
06:07Just when I saw you two together, like that, it just, I freaked out.
06:12Things are complicated enough between me and John.
06:15Well, it was a one-off anyway.
06:18But it might not be a big deal for you, but it is for me.
06:22I don't want John walking away, not when I've only just started to get to know him.
06:29And as much as I love you, Aaron, I get lonely without proper family around me.
06:36And with Diane gone as well, you get what that's like, right?
06:40Yeah.
06:41And yeah, I've got mates, but I desperately want John to think about staying.
06:46And it'll help if you two aren't a thing.
06:50Well, we're not.
06:51I mean, Robert's half-brother. It is weird.
06:54Look, it was just casual.
06:59And John won't replace Robert. Not for me and not for you.
07:03I know he had a good relationship with his mum, but...
07:06I get this sense that he's never really felt like he belonged anywhere before.
07:11But maybe he would here, with me and Harry, you know, given time.
07:17So if I smooth things over with Moira and the job...
07:20Look, Vic, if he wants to stay, then he won't let losing the job stop him, will he?
07:29So maybe you just have to face it, that his mind's made up.
07:35Well, I can dream.
07:38And I am sorry for letting it get to me like that. I was out of order.
07:42Hey, it's fine. We're fine. Okay?
07:47Gotta go.
07:48We welcome new talent to join us on our journey towards fossil freedom.
07:53Our training contractor programme offers a highly competitive salary.
07:58Yeah, it's construction work with full training and building the next stage of wind farms in Shetland.
08:04It's a 12-month contract to start with.
08:07Huh.
08:08Shetland Islands. Pros and cons.
08:11Shetland Islands are not exactly on the other side of the world,
08:14but the phone signal is rubbish, which could be a pro, depending how you look at it.
08:19Or who you want to avoid.
08:22How are things with you and Tracy?
08:24Is there any chance you'd get back together if you stayed?
08:26No, we've done the whole reconciliation thing. We just can't make it work.
08:31Okay. Do you want to make it work?
08:34No.
08:37Okay.
08:38Okay. Do you want to make it work?
08:41Just need to move on. And if I'm not here, it makes it easier, doesn't it?
08:44So, that's a pro, I guess.
08:46Plus, you'll be miles off the coast, which is a huge pro for me.
08:49Yeah, cheers.
08:51I just need to get my head down and safe.
08:54I'll be qualified in a new, expanding industry, and hopefully one day buy a little place for me and Frankie.
08:59You could always save up for that here.
09:01Put on a farm labourer's wage.
09:03I can barely even afford to rent a place of my own.
09:05So, how's that going to change unless I do something drastic?
09:08True. But the biggest consequence is you'll never get this thing with Frankie back.
09:18Thanks.
09:22Pastas, half price.
09:24It was too expensive, so no one bought it. Now it's going like calorie-free doughnuts.
09:30How you doing?
09:32Are you living on your own?
09:35No, it's early days.
09:37Me and Nate know just how that feels.
09:39I mean, different circumstances, obviously.
09:41Have you seen much of him lately?
09:45Who, Nate? No.
09:47So, he's busy then?
09:49Going out a lot, ain't he?
09:51I don't know, Trace. Why?
09:53I don't reason.
09:55I just thought he could be giving you some comfort, you know?
09:59Keeping you company in the evenings.
10:01Oh, sorry.
10:03Hello, David's shop.
10:06Who is this?
10:08Alright, slow down.
10:10Okay, er...
10:12Where are you now?
10:14Right, yeah. No, you should have turned right there.
10:16Okay, er, do your turn.
10:18Take a left at the bus shutter.
10:20And, er, well, I'll be outside the shop waiting for you in.
10:28I can come back.
10:30Why?
10:32Well, I promised Jimmy and Nicola that I'd cook for them.
10:35You know, give them a break.
10:37So, I'm just gonna pick up some bits and bobs.
10:40That's nice of you.
10:42Yeah, well,
10:44I am trying to be a good guy.
10:48You know that now, right?
11:02They can't have told you.
11:04They don't do that.
11:06Sorry, er, who were you on about?
11:08What did you just mean?
11:10Now.
11:12I know you're a good guy.
11:14Well, no, I just meant...
11:16You know, everyone knows I'm a nice, decent bloke.
11:18Even you.
11:20No, I mean...
11:22I'm trying my absolute best here.
11:24They're even spying on me.
11:26On my phone, my laptop.
11:28Well...
11:31Well...
11:33Please.
11:35Why would I do that?
11:37What?
11:39To look for those arty photos I took of you?
11:45You need to be careful with your passwords.
11:47I mean,
11:49if they fell into the wrong hands,
11:51it'd be terrible.
11:53I mean, when something's posted online,
11:55it's there forever,
11:57for everyone to enjoy.
11:59If you have any more paranoid thoughts,
12:03talk to Rachel, yeah?
12:05I'm not paranoid.
12:07I know what I've heard.
12:09Seriously, Belle, who is gonna believe you?
12:13I mean, all those voices you hear,
12:15it must be hard work to tell
12:17what's real and what's imaginary.
12:19Sorry about that.
12:21The delivery driver was clueless,
12:23despite having a sat-nav.
12:26All all right?
12:28Yeah, sorry, miles away.
12:30Just this.
12:32Thanks.
12:34Take care, Belle.
12:42No point in crying over spilt pasta, is there?
12:44I just saw Tom.
12:46Right.
12:48It's just horrible.
12:50Did you have words?
12:52Look, he's probably just treading on eggshells.
12:54You don't understand.
12:56No one does.
12:58Well, I kind of do.
13:00He's trying to stay out of your way.
13:02You know, even if you're trying to be a good person,
13:04you still put your foot in it because of nerves.
13:06Maybe it's just me,
13:08but Tom's trying his best,
13:10so just go easy on him.
13:12See you later.
13:24DOOR KNOCKS
13:31Look, when are you gonna get the message?
13:33For the kids. Give them some treats.
13:35You're unbelievable.
13:37I'm still their grandad.
13:39Look, we've made it clear we don't want you or Kim
13:41anywhere near the kids.
13:43Lucas and Clemmie must be missing us.
13:45Look, we've convinced them that they need to stick to our bubble
13:47and they finally get it.
13:49Look, money will be getting tight for you now.
13:51You can't buy your way back in.
13:53Well, it's just as well, then, because your money's no good here.
14:01Say, ka-ching!
14:03Ka-ching! Woo! Cheers!
14:05Many happy returns.
14:07Yeah, happy birthday again.
14:09Sorry, you're probably sick of me saying that to you today.
14:11Honestly?
14:13I feel like you can never get bored of hearing happy birthday.
14:17Hey, Belle, you all right?
14:19You seemed a bit off earlier.
14:22Well, what's up?
14:24Belle, you don't look too good.
14:26He's right. You do look a bit washed out.
14:30I've got a rare genetic.
14:32So I was gonna come in and get something to eat,
14:34but actually I think I should go home and have a lie down.
14:36Might be a good idea.
14:38Are you gonna be all right walking back?
14:40Do you need me to come with you?
14:42I know you said you wanted some space.
14:44I'm fine.
14:46Will?
14:56Is everything all right?
14:58You look rattled.
15:00Just seen Billy.
15:02Still furious.
15:04Well, you said yourself, they need time.
15:06Nothing's forever,
15:08good or bad.
15:10We are, I hope.
15:12Well, I'm still here,
15:15and as there are no other nasty surprises,
15:17we'll keep working on it.
15:21Will,
15:23I want the truth, now.
15:25Yeah, it's, um,
15:27it's the paperwork for these haulage fines.
15:29They're taking ages.
15:31Can I help?
15:33No, nothing I can't deal with, thank you.
15:35Well, in that case,
15:37I've got my date with Peter.
15:39Oh, the very dashing Peter.
15:41They're very same.
15:43You know, maybe you need to up your game.
15:45Take me on a date night.
15:47Tonight?
15:49Where do you want to go?
15:51Well, there was that charity casino night
15:53that we RSVP'd to.
15:55I forgot to cancel, so we could still go.
15:57Black tie?
15:59Yeah, why not? Let's do it.
16:03We should enjoy our life together.
16:05Things we could
16:07so easily have lost it all.
16:13Oh.
16:33Your fridge needs cleaning out.
16:35I'm not stopping you.
16:39I'm not domesticated.
16:41But you do need a maid.
16:43Or
16:45a sister who can cook.
16:47Your sexy small talk's driving me wild,
16:49so
16:51shall we crack on?
16:53John,
16:57I was talking to Vic earlier.
17:01Maybe you should go and smooth things over
17:03with Moira in the job.
17:05Is that what she wants, or you?
17:07She got a bit upset.
17:10She's lost everyone.
17:12And finding you has meant the world to her.
17:14I'm just saying
17:16you should think about
17:18sticking around for a bit.
17:20I know Vic would really miss you if you left now.
17:22And you won't.
17:24That cuts deep.
17:26It's what it is.
17:28Good.
17:30Because I've not been auditioning as Robert's replacement.
17:32This is nothing like me and him.
17:34Defensive much?
17:36I'm not the one being needy here, Aaron.
17:38And I'm certainly not hiding behind my sister.
17:40You know what?
17:42It's a passion killer.
17:44Oi, oi.
17:48I only need one thing from you.
17:50Then you can go.
18:04You said you had news.
18:07I'm getting a text.
18:09Spill the beans, then.
18:11It's not Ruby and Caleb.
18:13I sussed her out. She was clueless.
18:15Ditto with Billy.
18:17So it is Rose?
18:19Yeah. She sent another text message and all.
18:21You're not calling her, are you?
18:23I'm calling the phone that sent the text messages.
18:25And when Rose answers...
18:27Hello?
18:29Voicemail.
18:31Hang up. Think about what you've got to say.
18:33Guess who?
18:35Stupidly, I expect a better from you now,
18:37but seems like you haven't changed one bit.
18:39You're not getting any more brass.
18:41You've got no proof.
18:43It's your word against mine.
18:45And I know you think you know me, Rose.
18:47But you have no idea
18:49what I will do to protect my marriage
18:51and my life here.
18:53So give this up before you find out.
19:01Victoria, can my guest and I get some drinks, please?
19:03Peter Mansfield.
19:05Wealth management consultant.
19:07Oh, I could do with one of them.
19:09Tell me what to do with the dregs of my overdraft every month.
19:11Spending the bank's money.
19:13Like the rich do.
19:15Well, it's a start, I guess.
19:17Can I get you some coffees?
19:19Actually, we'll have a couple of large glasses
19:21of the house white.
19:23Seeing as we're walking, huh?
19:27Yeah, Jaycee won't be up yet.
19:29She'll be practically bringing Frankie up alone.
19:32Well, no, she's got Vanessa.
19:34And it'll all be worth it if it's for your daughter.
19:36Are you trying to get rid of me?
19:38Am I that obvious?
19:40What if being away from Frankie for so long tears us apart?
19:44I need to talk to Jaycee about it.
20:02Please work.
20:04Please.
20:32I've been expecting you, Mr. Bond.
20:36International espionage getting to you, is it?
20:38How's the process
20:40of elimination going?
20:42Rosie's not my blackmailer.
20:44Just updated her socials.
20:46This is her dancing the night away.
20:48Where is she?
20:50It's a bar in Ibiza. Look at the banner.
20:52It was a one-off event. I've looked it up and this was definitely taken just last night.
20:54Yeah, but she's still
20:56gonna phone you from there.
20:58Except when I called our friendly neighbourhood extortionist.
21:00Yeah?
21:02It was a UK dialling tone, so it couldn't have been her.
21:04Right. Got ya.
21:06Then who the hell is it?
21:08I don't know who,
21:10but I do know one thing.
21:12I've only just got Kim back
21:14and this person,
21:16whoever they are,
21:18they could destroy my whole life.
