00:00Welcome back, Stace.
00:18We weren't expecting you till later.
00:22Oh, I have missed you.
00:27The house has been so quiet without you.
00:29Oh, it's been like an old people's home.
00:31Is it strange to be back?
00:32Oh, of course it is.
00:34Oh, I'm just so happy to see you.
00:36You only saw me a couple of weeks ago.
00:38Yes, I know, but you're back here now.
00:40Are you sure you're not back too soon?
00:42No, I wouldn't have come back if I weren't sure.
00:45Oi!
00:46Oi, oi, bug will fight!
00:48Come on!
00:50I'm back, I'm doing it, baby!
00:53Nan!
00:55I'm over here!
00:56She's been doing my head in for days.
00:58That's a job a lot from Fat Elvis, innit?
01:00All we need now is another pandemic, and we'll be quitting!
01:04Oh, Arthur!
01:05Kitchen!
01:06Come on!
01:06You must be starving!
01:07Oi, Arthur!
01:08Come here!
01:09Listen, not a word about who stayed with us, all right?
01:14Off you go, go on.
01:15Come here!
01:18The bike, you're lecturing us now.
01:22Ah, are you ready?
01:25Ah...
01:26Ugh!
01:26Oh, I'm ready!
01:27You're ready!
01:28Oh...
01:28I'm ready!
01:33Oh, I'm ready!
01:34Oh, I'm ready!
01:36Hello, I'm ready!
01:37Oh, I'm ready!
01:38I'm ready!
01:39Hey, can I go, help me!
01:39You're ready, honey!
01:40Where are you?
01:41I'm ready!
01:41What are you doing?
01:42Just you and me, girl.
01:48Whatever life throws at us, yeah?
01:51We're a long time dead.
01:54Who are you talking to?
01:56Oh, still public enemy number one, am I?
02:02Oh, morning. Morning, Trace.
02:04Hello, darling. Hi, yeah.
02:07Mum, you can't just ignore me, all right?
02:10I want to move on with the sale as soon as possible.
02:12I've got to tread careful, cos Ollie don't like change, but...
02:15We need to go to the store and get the flags and the bunting out for pride.
02:18Why are we even bothering this year? Cindy is going to go all out.
02:22To show our support.
02:25Your father was gay. Your son is gay.
02:28Is it too much to expect a little solidarity from you?
02:37Can we have a word?
02:38If you're looking for anyone underage, I suggest you try Wolford High.
02:47All I'm saying is that I'm very sexy.
02:49Yeah, well, I don't feel sexy.
02:53And I won't until I get that advance off Bernie.
02:55Life is more than what we hope, which is why I'm making more of an effort to keep the fire alive.
02:59I don't want us drifting into the kind of relationship where we might as well have been together for 20 years.
03:04Meaning you want more sex?
03:05Did I say that?
03:06It's okay to say it.
03:08You ain't the only one with verges.
03:10Cool. Is that right?
03:11It's been a while since you wore your tool belt in the bedroom.
03:15I didn't just buy you it for work, you know?
03:17Well, I can put that tool belt on any time you like.
03:20In fact, I never need to take it off.
03:22You wait till I'll get you home.
03:31Who's waiting?
03:32Come on.
03:38Zach, you waiting for us?
03:40I've got a message for you from Sharon.
03:42Yeah?
03:43I know you've been avoiding her calls.
03:46She's given you a week to move out.
03:48What?
03:49I know you owe my sister over 20 grand.
03:51You're making no attempt to pay it back.
03:52Enough's enough.
03:53But listen, we're on it.
03:54We're getting the money together.
03:55I don't care.
03:56She's given you to the end of the week to pay back at least five grand,
03:58or I'm going to rent the house out for her.
04:02Why now, all of a sudden?
04:06From what I heard, it's your mum's idea.
04:10Yeah.
04:11Seems like everyone's fed up of you rinsing them.
04:17I don't believe this.
04:19I need to nail down Bernie.
04:24So that's it?
04:24We're in the clear?
04:26As I said, we're going to let you off with a warning this time,
04:28but you can expect random checks to make sure there's no underage drinking taking place.
04:32So stick to the rules in the future, yeah?
04:36That's wonderful.
04:39We can see our sister.
04:40Okay.
04:41Yeah, thank you.
04:42Random checks.
04:47Talking to us like we're wet behind the ears.
04:4945 years I've run a pub.
04:51I could quote that licensing handbook cover to cover.
04:54Just don't serve any kids again.
04:57We're in the clear.
04:59Maybe it's a sign that we should stay on.
05:01It's what we do, Linda.
05:03It's what we know.
05:04It's nothing to do with the underage drinking.
05:06All right, you know how I feel.
05:08Yeah, but I don't see why I should have to up sticks.
05:10First George and now you.
05:13What have I done to turn the whole world against me?
05:16Mum, it isn't just about you.
05:19How can you expect me to keep surrounding myself with booze?
05:23If you're going to relapse, you will pub or no pub.
05:27At least I get to keep an eye on you.
05:28Oh, so you're saving me from myself, is that it?
05:32What are you going to do if you're not behind a bar?
05:34You're the same as me.
05:35All we know is pubs.
05:37So what are we going to do?
05:38Sell up.
05:38I move in above a poxy little shop or some high-rise
05:42and you've got some naff nine-to-five job
05:44and you can't wait for the government to let you retire.
05:46How fast is that going to drive you to drink?
05:49Oh, wow. Thanks, Mum.
05:50You always know the right thing to say, don't you?
06:02Bernie, yeah. Hi.
06:05Where are you at the minute?
06:06I just need to catch up for your back.
06:11Yeah, well, it is urgent.
06:13Well, then.
06:16So unreasonable!
06:22You are the last person I should be talking to.
06:25Oh, the best person, as I...
06:27I don't understand.
06:28Used to be Mick's job.
06:41All them years living with Mum.
06:44They talked me down from shoving her off the roof.
06:48I wouldn't mind, but she was the one who pushed me into rehab in the first place.
06:51I can't go on living in a place where I am surrounded by booze.
07:02At least I don't think I can.
07:09I don't know.
07:10I mean, maybe I should try hard.
07:12My lawyer's confident that she'll have to sell her share of the pub
07:15to give me the money she owes me, so...
07:17Just hang on in there, will I?
07:20Manny's only resisting
07:22because she's scared.
07:23She loves you.
07:27You're a vacation of her world.
07:32You are.
07:44Stace, are these the only biscuits we've got?
07:48Um, there'll be more in Mo's room.
07:49She hoards them.
07:51Stace, um...
07:53I'm sorry about before.
07:56About when I went off with Mo to fat Elvis's.
07:58I just...
07:59I didn't see how bad you were feeling.
08:02Oh, it's all right.
08:03No, it's not all right.
08:05I was just totally wrapped up
08:08in what was and wasn't happening with me and Harvey
08:11that I...
08:12I didn't see that you needed me.
08:15How are things with Harvey?
08:16I hate him.
08:20Well, I don't actually hate him, but...
08:22It's more that I hate myself for thinking that things would actually work out
08:28in spite of the fact that he was really unhappy with me.
08:31I mean, it's not as if he was anything like your dad.
08:36I mean, it's not as if he was.
08:37I mean, it's not as if he was.
08:38I mean, it's not as if he was.
08:39Or even Ollie, for that matter.
08:44But I am...
08:45lonely without him.
08:50Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
08:51I'm coming back and...
08:54there's no fruit stall, there's no Martin.
09:00Vinnie's raised his prizes with the fruit and veg
09:02because there's no competition.
09:05Dory.
09:06No, I don't want to not talk about him.
09:08I think that's the thing I learnt when I was away.
09:09And not talking about Martin is...
09:13is worse than...
09:15talking about him.
09:19It's Hope and Arthur with dead dads.
09:22Not that I'm cursed or anything.
09:24Well, it's wonderful that you're back.
09:29Hmm.
09:29What I don't understand is
09:33why you rented that little flat
09:35when Lynne's was so close by.
09:39No, I just wanted it to be us.
09:42You know what Lynne's like.
09:44Hmm.
09:46Well, you look better.
09:48I'm trying.
09:50No, it feels like the right time to be back.
09:53Wasn't fair on the kids.
09:54I mean, they need no more, I need no more.
09:57And if it all gets a bit much, then...
09:59I will tell you, I promise.
10:01Can you promise?
10:03Can you promise?
10:06That's good that Alfie could help out so much.
10:11How long is he staying in Australia for?
10:13He didn't say.
10:14Well, the sooner he comes back, the better.
10:19I'm not saying that anything happened,
10:22but it might well have done if I hadn't stepped in.
10:25You'll never guess
10:27who Cat's been getting all pally with
10:29these last few days.
10:31Bill.
10:33I know.
10:34Talk about swings and roundabouts.
10:36What do you mean?
10:38Well...
10:38See, Stacey.
10:40Yeah, look, she's just in the kitchen.
10:42You good for bog, right?
10:43Don't say anything.
10:44What's he's at?
10:45The kettle's just boiled.
10:47I must have had me come and have a coffee, please.
10:50Jungle drums are right, then.
10:51Welcome back.
10:52Thanks.
10:53Has Jean been catching you up on everything?
10:55No, there's been nothing to catch her up on.
10:57No, it was just, er...
10:59just talking about you and Alfie and the wedding.
11:02I'm sorry I didn't make it.
11:04You didn't miss anything.
11:05Same as the other two times we got married.
11:07Give it seven years, we'll get divorced and get itched again,
11:10if you can come to that wedding.
11:13I'm glad you're home.
11:15I've really missed you.
11:15Yeah.
11:15There you are.
11:26I'm allowed a break, aren't I?
11:29Oh, Mum.
11:31Let's stop making snide remarks and shouting at each other.
11:35Right, if we open up and start talking about how we're feeling, then...
11:39Right.
11:41Well, I saw you and George at the cafe.
11:43Him taking your hand.
11:47You both smiling, plotting against me.
11:50Look, I know why you want to sell.
11:52Of course I do.
11:52I'm not stupid.
11:54You do?
11:54Of course.
11:56Selling is the right thing to do.
11:58When you were on the bottle, I didn't know what to do for the best.
12:02But selling now...
12:04would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me.
12:06Look, I know it sounds selfish, and I don't want it to.
12:15It would be a fresh start for you, but the end of everything for me.
12:21Oh, are you all right?
12:24Yeah.
12:25I think I just stood up too fast.
12:28Mum.
12:28There is no point in fighting George.
12:34You signed that post-nup.
12:35You were going to have to find the money that he put into the marriage.
12:40I've made an appointment with the bank.
12:42I'm going to get a loan and pay George off.
12:44But I am not selling my 50% of the big.
12:53Okay.
12:57But I'm still selling my share.
13:01I'm sure there's someone out there who'll take you on as part of the fixtures and fittings.
13:06So you'd force me to work with a stranger?
13:08You're not leaving me much choice.
13:12Maybe you can buy me out?
13:14Talk to the bank.
13:17Believe it or not, I do want what's best for you, Mum.
13:20But not at the expense of what's best for me.
13:30I mean, Gran has always been the most stubborn person I've known.
13:34But it's because she's so insecure.
13:37But she never wants to show weakness.
13:38So she just goes on the attack.
13:40You are more like your money.
13:42Oh, I don't know how I used to be.
13:45Although I get it, I think I'm turning into my dad.
13:48So, uh, will you carry on living with your mum when she sells the bank?
14:00Because, well, things are going to say well with us.
14:04You could move in with me.
14:07Or I'd be up for getting a place on our own.
14:10Yeah, it could work.
14:11Are you sure you can handle me?
14:15Oh, I think I'm man enough for the job.
14:17You know, because I need a whole entire wardrobe just for time.
14:20Oh, I mean, that goes on the must-have list, surely.
14:22Oh, yeah.
14:36Bernie.
14:39Hi.
14:40Um, what do you want?
14:43Straight to the point.
14:43I like it.
14:45Um, it's, uh, it's about that advance we agreed on.
14:48Oh, right, yeah, um, yeah, look, the thing is, I did look into that, and I'm afraid it's
14:55going to have to be an eye.
14:56You agreed to it.
14:57It's just not the right time.
15:03Cards on the table.
15:04I've got to clear some debts.
15:06What if we change my work description to something more of a, a consultancy, all company deductible,
15:13I can help share the load, and you get to tap into my experience running businesses.
15:18Well, isn't that what I'm paying you for already?
15:20Oh, no, not exactly.
15:22I mean, honestly, you are severely underpaying me considering my years of experience.
15:30Oh, which is why you keep questioning me.
15:33Because you feel like you could do a better job.
15:34Bernie, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be a good employee if I didn't from time to time point
15:40out you don't know what you're doing.
15:42Look, there must be something.
15:45Do you need help with the Mack and Sons account?
15:51Let's be open about it.
15:52I know things aren't going great.
15:55We can help each other out.
15:56I can help ease things for you, and in return, I could do with a salary boost.
16:03Or maybe a one-off payment of five grand.
16:08I am worth more than what you're paying me.
16:12I've had enough of this.
16:13You're fired.
16:13You can't!
16:14I just did!
16:16I'm going to get a lawyer on you.
16:17You don't even have a contract.
16:18Felix, I need to top up.
16:19There you go.
16:34What do you think?
16:35Here, here, darling.
16:36I hope it's sent into a right little chatterbox.
16:39Oh, she's gobby like the rest of us.
16:41She was talking about some woman who came to visit a few times.
16:45What woman?
16:47I was...
16:48It was a big deal, just a mate.
16:50She'd just come to stay for a couple of days.
16:51I never said anything, because you asked so many questions.
16:54Who is she?
16:54Would I know her?
16:55See?
16:56No, it was just a mate, all right?
16:57There's nothing else to tell.
16:59This will be ready in about 20 minutes.
17:03Oh, how'd it go at the bank?
17:05Oh, I thought you were mum.
17:07She could have gone all afternoon.
17:08No, mum, you, er, want to hear some good news?
17:12Me and Felix are going to get a flat together.
17:15Oh.
17:17I mean, I know it's early days, but...
17:19I know, yeah.
17:20Of course you should.
17:20I just...
17:21I assume that you and me will be getting a place together.
17:24Oh, right.
17:24Well...
17:25Well, no, we can get a bigger place.
17:27No, er...
17:28Felix won't want to live with me.
17:30Well, so what are you going to do?
17:32I don't know.
17:33I don't know, but that is not for you to worry about, OK?
17:36I want you to be happy.
17:37Well, I'll be happy when you sell this place.
17:39Being around all this booze isn't good for you.
17:42It's not just the booze.
17:44Yeah, I know.
17:45It's the memories.
17:53Stace?
17:54Jean said lunch is ready.
17:55All right.
17:57So you'll stop hiding in here, can't you?
17:59That's what you're doing, isn't it?
18:01No, I'm just trying to make it so we can sit down.
18:03Stace, I know you, yeah?
18:05I know you're hiding something.
18:07So unless you want me to force feed you all this bog roll, you'd better come clean.
18:09Are you sure you're all right being back in Walford?
18:14Yeah.
18:14Honestly, I wouldn't have come back otherwise.
18:17I've sorted a lot of stuff out.
18:19Good.
18:19I'm pleased.
18:20I wish you'd brought Elfie back with you.
18:23I miss the big lump.
18:25Why don't you just phone him up and tell him how much you miss him?
18:30Look, Kat, you're right, all right?
18:32I have got something else on my mind.
18:35Lily, you know, now I'm back, I want her back here with me, and I'm just trying to figure
18:40out the best approach.
18:41Well, like you said, phone her up and tell her how much you miss her.
18:46What we like, eh?
18:49Look, now you're back, don't be a stranger.
18:52You're really important to me.
19:04Alfie, I cannot go online to Kat's face or sort it out.
19:16Ben?
19:18Mum said you went to the bank.
19:21Complete waste of time.
19:22I'm a bad risk, apparently.
19:24Another door slammed in me face.
19:27Well, maybe this is the universe telling you it's time to retire.
19:32You still have some savings left after you pay George back.
19:37Get a little flat.
19:38Have more time for yourself.
19:40The last thing I want is time for myself.
19:49Look.
19:52If you keep refusing to sell, Mum's going to have to find someone to buy her share.
19:56You could end up in a partnership with anyone.
20:01Johnny.
20:02You've got a good job.
20:06You could get a loan.
20:07You wouldn't have to work here.
20:09You could be a silent partner.
20:12Don't have to answer now.
20:13Just think about it, yeah?
20:16No.
20:18Go ahead.
20:18This isn't my future.
20:21I mean, for one, more pubs are going on the right now than ever, and I can't risk the money, but I want my own place to live.
20:32Get married, start a family.
20:34All right, just leave me alone.
20:37God, don't be like that.
20:38I can be how I want.
20:41Everyone has taken everything else from me, but I can have my feelings.
20:45Linda, I'm off now.
20:55All right, darling.
20:56Thanks.
20:57See you later.
21:00Grant's back.
21:00She, uh, she's been let down by the bank, so I reckon it's best we leave her until she's ready to show her face.
21:10She, uh, she's been let down by the bank.
21:40Benny, hi.
21:54Where is it?
21:55Barge in, why don't you?
22:00You know what?
22:00I'm getting the police on to you.
22:02Yeah, do it.
22:03While they're here, we can talk to them about you embezzling from the Panasars.
22:07A little bit here, a little bit there.
22:10Soon adds up to a tidy sum.
22:13Don't know what you're talking about.
22:15No?
22:16Because your face does.
22:18It's got guilt written all over it.
22:20Fire me, will ya?
22:23Just wait till I nip next door and tell Sookie everything.
22:26I can only imagine what Ravi does to those that double-cross him.
22:32No, don't.
22:37That's more like it.
22:38Now, from what I can make out, you have helped yourself to over 20 grand so far.
22:46I'm not a greedy woman, so let's say you give me half of that.
22:50Plus, my job back.
22:55Because you know I love working with you.
23:00What was that?
23:03A pain rise?
23:04Oh, Bernie, you shouldn't.
23:13Is that it?
23:15Are you sure you don't want a back massage every morning as well?
23:18No, I don't think so, no.
23:21If you insist on sugaring the deal a little,
23:24I'll take you admitting I'm the better businesswoman.
23:28Absolutely not.
23:29No?
23:29So you don't want me to forget everything I've seen on that laptop?
23:42You're the better businesswoman.
23:57We're moving in together.
23:58Already?
23:59Well, it's just an idea at the moment.
24:02I didn't know things were that serious.
24:03Congrats.
24:05Hey, thank you.
24:07Yeah, I don't really know what it's going to be like,
24:11living with Felix.
24:12I mean, I'm not a big fan of my own company,
24:15so it would be nice to have someone to cuddle up with
24:18and watch TV and that.
24:20And you're already taken, so...
24:23Well, I really hope it works out for you.
24:26Yeah.
24:26Hey, Felix said they're planning a bunch of events at the Albert for Pride.
24:35If you fancied it, we can go.
24:37I mean, Felix will be working,
24:38but I won't feel like a spare part of you there.
24:41Yeah.
24:41Yeah, great.
24:42Yeah?
24:42Okay, cool.
24:43Let's do it.
24:44Let's do it.
24:44Let's do it.
24:49You're back.
24:51Yeah.
24:52The bank made it very clear that I'm too old to be of any interest to them.
24:56Oh, Mum.
24:57So, just have to wait and see who you sell to.
25:00Play nice.
25:02Lose half my home to some stranger.
25:06How the mighty have fallen.
25:08Mum, no-one's going to think that.
25:10I think it.
25:11Well, now that you're back, can you keep an eye on the bar?
25:17What is the point?
25:18Come on, darlings.
25:19Get out.
25:20We're closing.
25:21What are you doing?
25:22Come on, clear off.
25:24Okay, you'd better go, mate.
25:26Is she all right?
25:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:28I mean, yeah.
25:29You are unbelievable.
25:30And the Academy Award for Overreacting goes to Elaine Peacock.
25:35Yeah, go on, Mum.
25:36Ring your bell.
25:36Chuck everyone out.
25:38Anything to avoid the fact that you should be supporting me in letting this place go.
25:42But don't stop now.
25:44Yeah, let's have the only way I'm going to leave this pub is in my coffin speech.
25:54Grant.
25:55Hey.
25:56Hey, Grant.
25:58Mum?
25:58Grant, can you hear me?
26:00Grant.
