00:00Eyes and brush your teeth. I'm going.
00:02They should be back by now. They've been gone all night, right?
00:06Right, we're back.
00:07Hey!
00:08Oh, twelve hours in A&E.
00:11Seven cups of coffee and she had no stitches.
00:14Right, so she's okay, yeah?
00:15The doctor said it always looks worse than what it is.
00:17Oh, good.
00:18Lil, go and get ready for school, yeah?
00:20Well, I can't. She needs me.
00:22You've already bunked off one day this week.
00:24Look, well, take care of her.
00:26She's going to get her sorted for nursery, yeah?
00:28Little darling.
00:30Come here.
00:35Here you go.
00:36Cheers.
00:38But Lily was so scared.
00:40Sporky.
00:41Yeah.
00:42Any sign of Stace?
00:44No.
00:45We tried knocking a few times, but she wouldn't come out.
00:47Well, Freddie can look after the van this morning.
00:49Because we need a family meeting.
00:54Hello.
00:55Yeah, good.
00:56Shouldn't Lily and Freddie be here?
00:58Well, Lily's at school and Freddie's still in short trousers.
01:01It's grown-ups only.
01:02Cheers.
01:03I get it, but it just feels a bit odd, you know, having outsiders here and not them.
01:08Listen, no offence.
01:09I am a bit offended, actually, Alfie.
01:10I've been married into this family for three years.
01:12I'm an honorary Slater.
01:13Eve, sorry, my bad.
01:14Didn't mean anything about it.
01:15At the end of the day, the kids need all the help they can get, yeah?
01:19Exactly.
01:20So, with Jean not around, we all need to look after this place until Stacey gets back on
01:24her feet.
01:25Yeah, and we can all look after a few kids in our sleep.
01:27We'll just drop a rota.
01:28Yeah, but for how long?
01:29This has been going on for weeks.
01:30What if this has nothing to do with Martin anymore?
01:32What if there's something more serious going on?
01:34You think she needs professional help?
01:36Well, I don't know.
01:37It took Charlie getting hurt before Lily reached out.
01:40And listen, we can't go stomping him with our size tens.
01:43We'll probably end up losing her trust for good.
01:44This isn't about what Lily wants.
01:46It's about what her and the other kids need.
01:48Stacey as well.
01:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:50Cat, I get it, but Lily's already seen Jean being dragged out by men in white coats.
01:53No matter what it'll do if she sees it happening to Stacey, yeah?
01:56Jean wasn't dragged anywhere, all right?
01:58Last time, Jean volunteered to go to hospital.
02:01Which Stacey won't do, cos she won't leave the kids.
02:03She might not have a choice.
02:04Well, people don't get sectioned for staying in their bedroom.
02:07And especially not with their grieving.
02:09Well, if Cat's right.
02:11I mean, Stacey is in pain.
02:14It's just we don't know if she's in crisis.
02:16We don't know anything for sure yet, though, do we?
02:18We need to get her to talk to us, so we can find out how really bad this is.
02:21How?
02:22She won't even open her bedroom door.
02:24She's got no food or water up there, all right?
02:26She's bound to come down eventually.
02:28We can get this sorted without getting the hospital involved.
02:30I don't know.
02:31But I know that she'd want us to try.
02:33Stacey.
02:34I know you don't want to talk, but I'm really worried about you.
02:36Me?
02:37The kids?
02:38I know what it's like to lose someone.
02:39You just want to dig a hole and just jump in them.
02:40Can't you just talk to me for one second?
02:41Stacey?
02:42I thought it'd be easier just you and me.
02:43I thought it'd be easier just you and me, but if you won't listen.
02:44This is the only way.
02:45This is the only way.
02:49And we know you and we know you and we can see you're not well.
02:50Charlie got hurt yesterday.
02:51Charlie got hurt yesterday.
02:52She must have been screaming.
02:53Did you hear her?
02:54Yeah I heard something.
02:55But he didn't do anything.
02:56More kids cry.
02:57I know what it's like to lose someone.
02:58I know what it's like to lose someone.
02:59You just want to dig a hole and just jump in them.
03:01Can't you just talk to me for one second?
03:03Stacey?
03:04Stacey?
03:05Stacey?
03:06I thought it'd be easier just you and me, but if you won't listen.
03:11This is the only way.
03:14You and we know you and we can see you're not well.
03:19Charlie got hurt yesterday.
03:20She must have been screaming.
03:21Did you hear her?
03:22Yeah I heard something.
03:23But he didn't do anything.
03:25More kids cry.
03:26There's always screaming in this house.
03:29That it?
03:32Stacey.
03:35Stacey please.
03:36Please.
03:37Mate.
03:38Sit down.
03:39We can't leave you like this.
03:41Please sit down.
03:46Lily panicked.
03:47Right?
03:48She picked up Charlie and then she came down here and found Liam Freddie.
03:52You was upstairs and she needed help.
03:54But she came and found someone else.
03:57She's fine by the way.
03:59Charlie.
04:00I was about to ask.
04:01No you weren't.
04:02And if that doesn't say that you're not yourself, I don't know what does.
04:06The person that I love most in the world has just died.
04:09Yeah.
04:10Am I not going to push you into doing anything that you're not ready for?
04:13I'll look after the kids.
04:15I'll sweep the floors.
04:16I'll do the dishes.
04:18Every day for the next year if I have to.
04:21I'll even help Eve run your smelly van, eh?
04:24I just need to know that you're not going to get worse and worse.
04:27Please, Stacey.
04:28We're desperate.
04:29All of us.
04:30I mean it's all very well being this way when Jean was here to hold the fort.
04:35But she's gone.
04:36Yeah, I know.
04:37I told her to go.
04:38She missed out on a holiday.
04:39She had her heart broken.
04:41And now she's alone just like only.
04:44Look, you're not sleeping.
04:45You're not washing.
04:46I can smell you from here.
04:48The house is a dump.
04:51And the kids don't know whether they're coming or going.
04:53I don't care, Kat.
04:55I don't care.
04:57Don't you understand?
04:58I don't care about you, me, them, none of it.
05:01All I want is just peace and quiet to think.
05:05Are you taking your meds?
05:08Well, are you?
05:10That's none of you bitches.
05:13Martin weren't the only love of your life, you know.
05:16You got your kids too.
05:18Lily's been acting out for weeks.
05:20She's smoking weed.
05:22Did you know that?
05:23She's even been nicking money out of my petty cash to cover it.
05:27You being like this is hurting them.
05:29You are hurting your kids.
05:35Well, should one of us go after her?
05:37Well...
05:39We've said all we need to say.
05:43Right, I better go and take over from Freddie.
05:45So, um, will you just keep us posted on how she is?
05:48Drop us that craft here, would you?
05:49Yeah.
05:50We can do another shift with the kids any time.
05:51All right?
05:52Yeah.
05:53Yeah, just leave it with me.
05:58So where do I go from here?
05:59I know, at least we'd rather talk to us.
06:01But I'm still none the wiser, am I?
06:03End of the day, Kat, you can't fix someone if they don't want to be fixed.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Ñ‘Ñ€t disputed these videos.
06:09OK, so let's have a video link for more.
06:10All right, so we'll make a video link for you but, okay, we'll execute them now.
06:12Let me know because I've checked it on the item.
06:13I can't see if we're checked.
06:14Let me know
