Lucinda walks through the living room holding an empty washing basket under her arm, with Elisha walking in from her bedroom at around the same time. "That mud patch you managed to get on your gown the other day really has been a bugger to get off you know" Lucinda explains to her as she walks through to the kitchen, putting the basket onto the middle counter. "I should probably be doing that stuff on my own now, but thanks. Anyway, you are alright about all of this aren't you? The dates with Robbie are pretty few and far between at the moment but it will get serious at some point soon. I know after messing me about and the affair you have every right to still be wary about him." Lucinda goes and shoves the basket into the mini store room next to the kitchen, before putting her hands half way into her cardigan pockets and commenting she really ought to sort the room out, before going back to her daughters question, breathing loudly out before speaking. "It isn't me you need to worry about, it's your father... him and Robbie haven't exactly had the best history with one another and they had that issue not long ago didn't they, barring him from the pub was a little extreme in my book though. He's always had that protective instinct with you though love, he had it with Louisa as well of course but she was more... how do I put this... focused on her studies than you ever were. You were more interested in boys, and the 'up to their neck in trouble' boys at that." Elisha pulls a face to show a bit of surprise at her comment, thanking her sarcastically. Elsewhere, Robbie is scraping the last of the Nutella out the jar, spreading it onto some toast. Jason walks in with his arms stretched out, along with River, who is complaining as it's her first day back at work as a teaching assistant. "I'm sure you'll be fine when you get back into it. But before you go, there's something I need to tell you... nothing is set in stone yet but I thought I might as well tell you. Me and Elisha, we're dating again" Robbie reveals, before going back to spreading the toast awkwardly.

Lucy is sat in her plain room, as she fidgets on the bed and looks around at the cream, and slightly peeling walls around her. She gets up and walks out the door and down the stairs, cutting to the living room as Rosa-May sits watching CBBC on the sofa shortly before Lucy comes walking in, smiling at her daughter before walking into the kitchen as Emma gives her the dead eye while Harrison says morning to her happily. "You know I was thinking, I could take Rosa-May to the fair? It's only on today and I thought it'd be nice instead of being stuck in my greasy spoon serving customers like a typical day. You could even come if you want?" he gestures to Lucy, as Emma goes wide eyes before turning away. "No, no. You take her on your own, I'm still getting used to living here and you need to make up for lost time. I could even help Emma out at Pizza Express if she needs me, but then again I might just begin to unpack all my clothes properly... and don't think the job theory has gone out the window either because I'll get onto it as soon as possible." "If you insist but Emma's coming with me." Emma turns back, as he kisses her saying he hopes she didn't think he'd leave her out of all the fun as she giggles before kissing him again. Harrison says he'll get Hanna to open up as she's like a second in command now anyway and he's planning on upping her wage, as Lucy nods. "We need to organise a meeting with the local primary schools head teacher soon as well, about enrolling Rosa-May there. I know it all seems so fast but it needs to be done... and as you are planning on sticking around here I want Rosa-May to feel as secure in her new home as possible" Harrison adds on. Lucy says she'll come with him when it comes around before leaving the room. "I'm still a little in shock about all of this. I just want to permanently hug her, if you get what I mean? Because now I've been lucky enough to have a second chance with her I want to spend as much time with her... and when the inevitable comes around and people around here start asking questions I won't be ashamed to tell them who she is" Harrison beams to his wife who simply rubs his back and smiles as they watch Rosa-May continue to watch television in oar.

Kat walks through the front door in gym wear as she puts her gym bag in the cupboard under the stairs before sitting on the sofa and largely sighing. Autumn and Jeremiah then drag themselves into the room. "Mum we can't carry on like this, and we both want to apologise for our bluntness the other day it's just it's a shock to know you are still using alcohol as a way out, when despite what's happened you are far from alone. We understand how you've always protested that you won't attend an AA meeting but we genuinely think it would help you, and it's just to try it out... please just give it a try" Jeremiah pleads. "The fact I could have lost my son and in particular my daughter when I've already lost my husband really scared me, so I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to hear it after barely uttering two words to me the past few days. I can't let this addiction rule my life anymore, control the way I act after something bad happens in my life and that's why I'm going to go up and face my fear and go to a meeting. I want our relationships to be stronger than they've ever been before and I'm sorry that I haven't been there for the both of you enough through such a tough time." She stands up and hugs her son tightly as the camera cuts to his head on her shoulder, who whispers he can't express how much her agreeing to this means to him as she scrunches her lips and closes her eyes, just gently nodding to this comment. Elisha and Robbie are outside the community centre now as they watch the fair on go. "I thought we could treat this as a second date, something like that?" Elisha sweetly hints as he insists he's fine with that. "I don't really know how much my dad knows. I remember how against he was when we got talking again at the pub, and I told my mum a few days ago and we spoke about it properly this morning but I don't know how much she's told dad." Robbie puts his arm around her and kisses her, before replying that he'll just have to accept it when he realises the truth. "And I know you wouldn't hurt me again, because one my dad would kill you and two I'd cut of your... privates. I genuinely believe this time your invested in this, and won't be lead astray. I hope so anyway, because it took a long time to be able to trust you after Estelle and you" Elisha explains with exaggerated motions when referring to herself as they begin to walk hand in hand to the fair. He promises her he wouldn't and that they both know that already.

Gemma is then shown pushing Louis and his pushchair over the ledge on the door outside her house, as she lights up when seeing Noel outside the pub, throwing some water out from a bucket as Lucinda comes out and joins him, saying there's something she needs to talk to him about. However, they are interrupted by Gemma who gets their attention by calling their names. Lucinda rubs the side of her jeans before smiling at Gemma and asking how she's doing. "All good, and I know this is cheeky of me but I was wondering if you'd do me a humongous favour and look after Louis for a few hours? I'm helping Lewis look for jobs, and I'd really like him to go to that fair but were to busy to take him" she sighs. "We've got nothing on, and it'd be lovely to look after him and take him to the fair, especially as it only comes around once a year and it's a bonus it's near the community centre - a couple of streets away at most." Gemma says she's a lifesaver before putting her head in the pushchair and saying, "your going to be spending the day with your aunty Lucinda and uncle Noel, and you be good, alright!" She then takes out some change for the fair for him. "Oh don't be silly love, taking him to the fair isn't exactly going to put a massive hole in our bank accounts... I'll drop him back home later, and I hope Lewis gets lucky with the job search!" Lucinda insists as she thanks her again before crossing the road. "What did you want to tell me?" Noel then quickly asks as she takes control of the pushchair. "It isn't anything serious and it can wait until later after we've been to the fair" she then explains as he accepts it. "At least if she's looking for other jobs it'll get the money she owes us faster, all the loan shark business was months ago and I've still only had half the money back" Noel complains but Lucinda hits his arm saying she's always told Gemma there's no rush. Matt then comes out the pub as she asks him where he's going. "To speak to Georgina, civilly. Something isn't right with her and even though we had fallen out I, I want to put it in the past." "Not holding a grudge anymore? Good on you son. Jia-Li wouldn't have wanted you staying away from your closest friend" Noel smiles as Matt looks down in mention of his deceased partner as Lucinda agrees but she tells him not to be long as it'll get busier later and Moira's on the bar by herself.

Autumn is sat on her toshiba laptop on the dining room table as she suddenly claims she's found one while pointing to the screen, as Kat and Jeremiah slowly walk over and lean over, using the back of Autumns chair for support. "At the Claremont centre, they are holding AA meetings there every other day I think... it's only a ten minute drive away as well. So what do you think?" Autumn asks, turning her head around as Kat just stares deeply at the screen. "Well I think it's a good find." Autumn bluntly tells her brother she wasn't asking him as Kat nods and says she'll do it. "Oh... well, that's great. Mum that's really great. And it'll be a bit of gratifying news for nan when she gets back from ANOTHER 9-5 shift at the shop, something to bring her mood up a level." "I have no doubt it will!" Kat quickly says, jumping up and pulling out the chair next to Autumn, sitting on it and pulling the computer so it's in between both of them. "Maggie really has been put through the wringer this year. That job will be the death of her, and well she's lost her son. She claims I hide my feelings, but I reckon she's just saying that because that's her own weakness, she may think it's a strength of some sort but it couldn't be further away from that. Especially in times like, as bad as this. I've saw her sometimes, where she'll come down here in the middle of the night, stick on some... oh I can't remember the artists name now... Jim, Jimi Hendrix that's it! but quiet enough that you'd have to listen properly to hear it." "Wasnt he a rock artist?" Autumn asks in interest. "I'm surprised your nan hasn't told you before, she always told me that when he died she went off the rails a bit herself, he was like her idol. Anyway ever since Johnny... did what he did, she's been listening to him again, and every time I've saw her she's, she's always flicking through the family photo albums we keep at the side of the sofa. I can never make out what photos they are so when she goes up to bed I open it because she doesn't slot them back into the slides, and the same ones are always there. A tiny sample of Johnny as a toddler, its covered in tea stains and it's ripped at the edges but I can still make out who it is, one of her and her father and, and one of all six of us" she continues, gulping at the last mention as Autumn looks away, before looking back and rubbing her mums back who once again tries not to get upset.

River walks through the flat, taking the bun out of her hair and shaking it, undoing the top button of her shirt and sitting formally on the sofa. Jason walks through from his room with a stack of plates and a glass cup as he stops for a brief moment, before walking to the kitchen and shoving all the pots into the sink while saying that she's back early. "Yeah well I wasn't needed in the afternoon and I didn't have any paperwork to complete so I didn't have a reason to stick around" she tells him sharply. "Fancy popping to that festival with liddle old me then?" he questions in a child like manner, fluttering his eyelashes to her with his hands together by his side jokingly. "After getting glue all on my new blazer from one of the flaming kids? Besides are you forgetting how old we are Jase. It's like Stacey, she's still obsessed with nights out but she needs to remember were growing up now, all nearing on 23!" she complains as he shakes his head while puffing. "Well I wasn't expecting you to come with me in your work gear, and exactly - all the more reason to make the most of it. I wondered how long it'd be before the stress of the job made you start acting in this way again" before turning all quiet, as she pulls a face before standing up asking what way she's supposedly acting. "Although I guess it isn't just the job, there's the antidepressants part as well... but what am I thinking they are helping your condition!" he fights back as she simply tells him 'don't' before grabbing her bag and walking back out the flat as he shouts at her to wait but it's too late, as he turns around and ledges his hands on the counter. "We cant continue living like this" he utters to himself. It cuts to a ceiling view, showing the stairs and part of the corridor up to the front door at The Armstrongs as there's then a bold knock on the door. It rapidly cuts to Georgina who's curled up on the edge of the bed like the end of the previous episode, the knock startling her as she shuts her eyes and breathes out largely before leaning over so she can peak her head out of the small opening in the door. Nick opens the door and sees Matt. "No trouble. I'm not here to cause any trouble." Nick clearly isn't impressed and lies they don't have time but Matt pleads with him to wait. "Nick I dislike holding grudges, and we'll end up seeing one another at points if she's sticking around again - were both close to the twins, the off-licence, gym, pub... you get the picture. Please just let me talk to her" he adds on. Nick still isn't sure as Estelle shouts from the kitchen asking who it is before Georgina appears at the top of the stairs murmuring to Nick to let him in. Matt can instantly tell something isn't right with her, as Nick warns him not to say anything to upset her before lagging to the kitchen.

It continues with Nick walking through the kitchen as Estelle looks up at him, slight disinterest in her face as she goes back to giving one of the twins with warm milk, smiling and laughing as he giggles at his mother. "Anyone important?" she questions as he begins running water into the sink, as he says it was Matt with a sigh, as she quickly asks if he wanted to cause trouble. "No, surprisingly no he did not." "Oh come on Nick! I know he's had his issues with Georgina but he isn't a bad lad, and once he realises why she, why she wasn't at Jia-Li's funeral... I know how bad he'll feel" she replies, as Nick looks at her with concern. "Every minute of the day I, I wish more than anything I could make that scum pay for what he's done, just unleash all my anger on him with every fibre of my being. She doesn't speak, doesn't want to eat, she stays up in her room permanently now and, and it breaks me to know the horrors she's been put through." It cuts to Georgina sat on her bed, as Matt paces slightly around the door. "Matt, I... sit down please. I need to give you an explanation." Matt just nods and does as she asks as she turns politely to face him. "I didn't have my phone, but you're right and I should have come back sooner to find out the date of the funeral. Jacob, the guy I, I was seeing... he knew the right ways to get you on his side, master manipulator and, and I STUPIDLY fell for it. That's going to haunt me for the rest of my life" she gulps, now unable to look at her friend in the eye who asks her to carry on gently after a few moments of silence but it's clear Georgina doesn't want to relive it all again despite the fact Matt now wants to support her. Elisha and Robbie are now walking hand in hand through the Chapelfields fair, surrounded by magic acts, rides, stalls and games. "You didn't have to come here if you didn't want to you know" Elisha informs her with a smirk as they watch little kids running around everywhere. "Well it isn't exactly as good as the first one but I think most of the fun in that was you..." "Me what?" she asks with annoyance. "Was you... agreeing to go on the date in the first place!" he quickly backtracks after originally planning to say the best part was her falling over. "I thought so. Hey I bet you a tenner you won't be able to win one of the top prizes on the hook-a-duck" she challenges as he thinks for a moment before saying she's on as they high five one another before going over to the stand, as they can both be heard arguing over who is going to win the ten pound note.

"Are you nervous?" Jeremiah asks Autumn with an element of tease in his voice as he walks into The Kelsalls living room. "I'm guessing you are referring to sixth form and if so yes I am, I'm just glad Carly and Liam are coming with me so I won't have to do the whole 'make friends' malarkey again and we all know I've never been any good at all of that. It's because I know how difficult A-Levels are going to be... people claim GCSES are a stroll in the park in comparision" she explains while scrolling through her phone, but she puts it onto the ledge of the sofa as Jeremiah comes and sits next to her. "Ey you and mum looked as if you were in a pretty in-depth chat earlier at the table, after you'd found an AA meeting location?" he continues, trying to make her remember as she nods, causing him to quickly question what it was about. "About gran mainly and how much she's missing dad. You know it's weird, but well I don't miss him as much as I thought I would. What he did to all of us, you and mum mainly, just ripped out everything that was ever good of us and all the pride I had for him went out the door with it. But the new meetings for mum are a fresh start for all of us, I just hope they can help her and that she doesn't get too nervous and decide not to go to them" she exclaims, leaning back over to get her phone again. "Well she knows what'll happen if she doesn't at least try them. She'll lose me, and she'll lose you." It cuts back to the festival, as Harrison gives Rosa-May some money causing her to rush to the candy floss stall. "I gave her enough so she could get one of those big buckets" he smiles as they both watch her. "You were right about how well she's settling in though, despite the fact this place is all brand new to her" Emma replies. "Nothing like her mother that's for sure. I'm going to keep on shouting it from the rooftops at how happy I am, I've got everything I've ever wanted from life. A beautiful wife, my little girl back, friends who are always there when I need them, a smooth-running business - what more could you need?" he questions with happiness in his voice. "And there's just one person at the moment who gets in the way of that" Emma says with a tint of bitterness, Harrison smirking as he knows she means Lucy. "Don't think I've dropped my guard about her, I ain't that easy to get around despite what people think. I wanted to help her out of a bad place but if she starts pushing it I will show her the door." "It can't be that simple though can it, now Rosa-Mays in the situation. Get on the wrong side of her and she may, I don't know... I think we should just lay low for a while but keep an eye on her" Emma suggests, as Harrison whispers they have nothing to worry about regarding their marriage, as she folds her arms lying she never was worried about that.

"You are such a liar, I won that bet fair and square! Come on turn your pockets inside out I want my tenner!" Elisha laughs, as he does so saying he feels like he's going through customs at an airport. Noel, Lucinda and Louis are also at the fair as Noel shoves the pushchair over the bumpy grass, saying it's no suitable ground to push this pushchair on as Lucinda tells him to stop moaning. "Now what shall we do first?" Lucinda asks Louis as she walks round the front of the pushchair and kneels over. It cuts back to Robbie and Elisha who are now passionately kissing, cutting back to Noel who keeps one hand on the pushchair while focusing on something in the distance. He then suddenly storms off as Lucinda stands up and looks around in surprise as she didn't see him going. "What the hell is going on?" Noel asks, appearing behind a still kissing Elisha and Robbie who quickly pull away as Elisha asks him why he's here. "So you've gone against everyone's wishes and got back with him properly now then have you?" Noel rudely interrogates as Lucinda quickly rushes up to them. "What do you mean 'everyone'? You knew we had started talking again and you can't stop me speaking to him, are you forgetting I'm an adult dad? And mum knows and doesn't mind." Noel looks at Lucinda as she puts one hand on her lower hip claiming that was what she was intending on telling him before Gemma asked them to look after Louis. "Noel I know you probably won't want to hear it but I wouldn't hurt her again, the affair was months ago and I'm still paying for it by you!" he sighs, as Noel says rightfully so. "Dad I'm always going to disagree with what he did but for months he's had to regain the trust of the people around him, even his closest friends and I'd say a bit of time away has done him pretty well. I've always loved him, whenever I considered another man Robbie just popped into my mind again. I know you don't want it but you're just going to have to accept it" she stands, before smiling at her mother as her and Robbie walk away together. "Accepting it is the best thing to do now Noel, and if he does go and do what you think he will and go off with another woman than you'll have every right to be acting this way. Please, your only going to be driving a bigger wedge between you and her if you continue like this!" she begs as he nods before quickly walking back up to the couple as they both turn back around, Elisha sighing and tiredly warning him they don't want more arguments. Noel suddenly puts out his hand wanting Robbie to shake it, as they pause before Elisha urges him to and so he does so. "She's what you want, and I need to accept it's happening... but you know what will happen if you hurt her again" he explains as Robbie swears he wouldn't again as Elisha smiles proudly at her father.

Nick and Estelle are laid with one another on the sofa as he strokes her hair and the area at the back of her neck. "They've been talking up there for a while so I guess that's a good sign. She's always been able to confide in Matt though so having him beside her might, well it might help her get through her ordeal. I bloody well hope so anyway, because I still have absolutely no clue what to say to her even after our little talk to the other night" Estelle utters. Matt and Georgina are still sat on her bed, her having told him elements of her ordeal off-screen. "If Nick hadn't stopped me yesterday god knows what I would have said to you, thankfully he stopped me." "I don't want to talk about it all anymore, I don't want to bring it up. I want, as hard as it's going to be, to carry on as normal." "Don't Rose and Daisy know?" he asks as Georgina puts down her head and shakes it. "I could barely bring myself to talk to you about it Matt, and I don't want to make people feel sympathy towards me, and I don't want people to think of me and say that's the girl who... you know what I mean, I don't want to live that way." Matt quickly swears that he isn't going to tell a soul if she doesn't want to and she attempts to cement a smile towards him, saying she would appreciate that. "I want our old friendship back Georgina, more than anything and I seriously hope that you feel the same." "Matt of course I do, you shouldn't even need to ask. I was thinking of going to Jia-Li's grave tomorrow? I feel so bad for missing the funeral and so I'd like to say my own goodbye to her if that makes sense? And I think getting out of the house would do me a whole load of good" she explains, twiddling with her thumbs as he smiles, saying he'd like that but only if she's definite she's ready to leave the house. "Matt if I really want to try to move on from what's happened and staying in my bedroom all day is only going to make me think about it even further. Until the trial inevitably comes around whenever it is, I want to feel as normal as I possibly can and you can help me."

Maggie is shown walking towards her house as she bumps into Simon, both stopping to talk to one another. "You look in a bit of rush to get back!" he laughs, as she says the job knocks it out of her. "Listen, I hope what Autumn overheard me and Carissa saying the other day hasn't caused much trouble" he brings up, as she taps his arm saying it's all sorted and they are stronger than ever. "Thank god for small mercies ey, after what you've been through its refreshing to know you aren't letting it ware you down, most in your shoes probably wouldn't handle it." She smiles worriedly as he says he better be off, as she continues to walk towards the house with an even more anxious expression spreading rapidly across her face. Maggie then flounces into The Kelsalls, with Autumn and Jeremiah now out or upstairs as Kat says she saved her some dinner and it's in the microwave, adding on that it isn't much though. "Oh it's alright love I'm not really in the mood for much anyway, this'll do me just fine" she promises, looking at her food through the square screen as she leaves it to warm up for a minute. They begin talking about her job, until Maggie takes the plate of good out after thirty seconds before putting it on the table, sighing and rummaging through her bag which is quite loud and subsequently it captures Kat's attention. She takes out a letter as she asks if that's just a bill, then asking why it's in her bag. "It isn't a bill Kat, and I should have told you this morning but I couldn't, I thought it'd be better if I waited until after work." "What is it then?" she asks, now getting more focused and worried. She takes the folded up letter out of the envelope and simply hands it to her daughter-in-law. "Its from the court, telling us the date of Johnny's sentencing. September 19th. That's the date I'm going to see my son go down for attacking Rose, and let's be honest he'll be lucky if he gets out before he's in his sixties because of the brutality. My only son, and this is how he's turned out" she explains with extreme upset as she goes and carries her plate to the sofa. Kat is trying to process the letter, but she rapidly turns to Maggie and reaches her hand out, Maggie doing the same so there hands are joined together. "And despite what he's done to me I'm still coming along with you to it. You NEVER have to hide it when your struggling, because we all get like it from time to time and we all know how tough it is, but we'll be alright" Kat insists, before Maggie nods and thanks her as Kat picks the letter back up again and stares at it again.

Beautifully done episode, your dialog was top-notch this episode, not that it isn’t good anyway but it was seriously on top form on this episode! Okay, so the continuing aftermath of the breakdown of the Kelsall family has got to be my favourite story at the moment (not that your other stories aren’t good because they’re all fantastic and deserve to be called my favourite, but this one really entertains me all the way through each scene that you write and I’m gripped about what this reveal has done to the family!) It’s good that you’re exploring how it’s affected each and every one of them, because admittedly when it first happened and you mainly focused on Kat reacting (although she deserved to have the immediate reaction as it was her family that was breaking up) on the big reveal, I didn’t think the rest of the family were going to get as much focus but I was really wrong and making that quick of a snap judgment as we’ve now seen how every single one of them has reacted to it and I’m glad that they’re only getting stronger not weaker with Kat deciding to sort out her drinking problem and Autumn and Jeremiah convincing her to go to her AA meetings for her alcoholism. I think the scene where Kat described Maggie coming down in the middle of the night was beautifully emotional, how she would listen to Jimi Hendrix because she went off the rails when he died and look at the photo albums they keep, it was so detailed and painted such a beautiful picture in my head, and that scene/flashback thing will always have a special place in my head when I think of Digital Terrace.

The fair element was really entertaining this episode, I enjoyed Noel finding out about Robbie and I’m loving that the affair he had with Estelle is still affecting the community (although personally I think they should at least share the responsibility between Robbie and Estelle – Robbie seems to get all the blame and Estelle seems to get off lightly, which is not fair at all). I’m glad that Noel has finally forgiven Robbie and shaken hands with him, but the fair was a really good place to do it as the community were together and they run into them naturally instead of some forced and unrealistic scene/plot point which would have resulted in Noel finding them. I also enjoyed the references to Gemma’s loan shark, with Noel mentioning to Lucinda that he is still expecting the money back from Gemma from when they paid off her loan shark, but I don’t think Gemma would take that money from them and not pay them back, she clearly has a lot of respect for them and clearly trusts them enough to look after Louis, so I hope that we begin to say the final conclusion to that. Aw, I love Harrison, Emma and Rosa-May and even though Lucy is going to be a great soap bitch I want her to just leave because I can tell already that she is going to ruin their good family unit, and I’m going to be so sad when that happens! I can’t wait until she begins her revenge story though, that’s going to be really intriguing and interesting to watch.

Georgina admitting everything to Matt is what I’ve been waiting to read, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Admittedly I would have liked to see his proper reaction as she told him bit by bit, but this was just as powerful. Her and Matt have a perfect friendship and I think they’re going to help each other massively due to the fact they’re both going through very difficult times and need each other for support: Georgina has gone through her human trafficking at the hands of horrid Jacob and Matt has lost his partner and probably the love of his life Jia-Li (whose aftermath has been so subtle that I think it’s perfect!). I am looking forward to seeing their friendship group with Rose and Daisy, because I think they’re a really strong teenage group and I’m looking forward to seeing more of them. Matt reacted perfectly when Georgina told him what happened, he vowed to be there for her and I liked the fact they were going to visit Jia-Li’s grave. Nick and Estelle’s scenes were really good as well, very powerful and they make sense due to what has happened, they’ve both been there for Georgina and they deserve all the credit they get in how they were desperately searching for her and how they’ve helped her through the aftermath to her horrific ordeal.

Elisha is at Robbie and the others flat, as he cooks breakfast for her. "I'm surprised you lot had the stuff in to do a Full English!" she laughs, creeping up to Robbie as he fries two eggs. "You can start getting used to this, a year down the line and we'll have our own place and you'll be cooking me brekky EVERY single morning" she says further with a hint that she's joking. "I'm not sure about the last part but I could definitely give your first suggestion. That's if your dad will let you leave!" he strongly replies as he leaves the eggs before wrapping his arms around her waist and cutely kissing her. "Alright lets not get a head of ourselves we aren't even back together properly yet! And you know he's alright with us now, you must have a bad memory if you can't even remember the truce you had yesterday" she chuckles, as he smiles with her but it's obvious he wanted it to be true. "And as you still don't have a job you'd have nothing better to do with your day other than cook for me anyway." "Ah now strangely enough I was giving this a little thought just before I dropped of last night. As I'm now... firmly back in your good books-" "I haven't heard what your going to say yet..." she interrupts. "I was wondering if you could do me a favour and talk to Simon about me getting my job back there as a gym instructor?" he pleads as she tilts her head to the side an inch, leaning on the counter with one hand as she considers his plea. Lucy comes fluttering down the stairs in a firm black blazer and white dress, the latter of which slotting perfectly just above her knees. "I've kept my promise and I'm off to job search. Harrison you've told me there's quite a few salons in the area and as I've had previous experience I thought it'd be perfect!" she laughs as Emma once again walks away and drowns out the sound of her voice. "Good luck but I have to be honest, you'll need a miracle if you'll get anywhere at the moment." Lucy calmly tells him they'll see before kissing her daughters forehead. "Mum do I have to start a new school?" she groans as Lucy warns her she needs an education. "I don't really know much about the enrolment process but I'm sure we'll get through it over the next few weeks" Lucy adds on before Harrison coldly wishes her luck, causing her to tilt up her head and smile while scrunching up her face before leaving the house.

Rose is at the ice cream parlour sat behind the counter also going over the letter (like Kat in the previous episode) as her and Daisy received one about Johnny's sentencing date. "Daisy you do know I want to go, right?" she asks her sister as soon as she walks in from the storeroom. "To see him go down... are you sure?" she questions. "Daisy that man ruined my life these past few months, Sierra as well but him more-so. I couldn't be more pleased that he's confessed to the attack, because it'll give me closure. I've already had some but seeing him go down for a whole lot of time will complete it." Daisy nods, still a touch uncertain, but she says only if she's sure. "Simon I was wondering if I could have a quick little word?" Elisha asks as it cuts to Leisure Life, her walking through the back reception door. "If it's about getting a replacement for the ladder next to the pool I'm working on it, besides you said you didn't mind doing the job without it." "Yeah it isn't anything like that. It's about Robbie... I don't think you'll be that bothered but he's really desperate for his job back, and he pleaded with me to ask you if there was any chance..." she explains through gritted teeth. Simon stops her and rapidly refuses causing Elisha to make her tone more casual, as she moves to the door and pleads with him again, spreading her hands out so he can't leave the reception area. "You know how serious it was last time! He punched Mr. Smith one of our long-standing members. No word of a lie, he used to come here every single Wednesday without fail for the past seven years me and Carissa have been a part of this place, but since that incident he hasn't been in once!" he clears up as Elisha sarcastically pulls faces while he's speaking. "So you lost one member, you have a ton more and it's hardly going to make a big difference to profits... or whatever. He regrets it dearly, and he's a completely changed man!" she replies as she moves away from the door as he pulls an utterly shocked face. "It's not that hard to believe! He's hardly acted like the devil incarnate." Simon says he's come extremely close before shuffling a load of paperwork together as well as putting some loose change on the desk into the register, before pulling a clueless face and questioning why she's so bothered anyway. "Well if you ever payed attention to me you'd know me and Robbie are giving things another go... I told you the other day when I was working late? And I would never have given him another chance if I wasn't certain of it, by god I wouldn't have gone through all the fallouts with my dad if not either. Just organise a meeting with him at least because he wants his life back" she pleads, as he is clearly thinking about it.

Kat appears in suitable attire, as Autumn and Jeremiah come out into the living room doorway to see her. "You will be alright driving there on your own won't you mum?" Autumn worriedly asks as Kat puts on a brave face saying she'll be more than fine. "We understand how difficult this must be for you" Maggie points out, walking out from the kitchen. "Are you all worrying that I'm not going to turn up at the meeting if I go alone?" I've swore to you I won't be backing out and I will be keeping that promise. Of course I'm nervous about it but I just have to sail through it and hope for the best" Kat replies as she fixes her hair in the mirror next to the door, the camera focusing on her concentrated expression as she does so. Autumn then wishes her luck before walking slowly back into the living room. She peers out of the curtains and watches Kat slowly walk up the pavement, as Jeremiah puts his cold hand on her shoulder promising she'll be alright. "I still think one of us should have gone with her. Not that I don't believe she'll keep her word and try out the meeting it's just everyone needs someone by their side. When I got my results the other month I had Carly and Liam... when you, when you was diagnosed with epilepsy, had to have the EEG test during it, you had all the family around you throughout it. I know she's always been a strong person I, I just worry now dad ain't around" she maintains as Jeremiah puts his hand firmly back on her shoulder after taking it of while she was referring to his condition. Maggie then joins the pair of them and stands between them, wrapping each arm over the others furthest away shoulder and squeezing them in as Autumn and Jeremiah roll there eyes to one another before breaking out into a weak form of laughter. "Your mother thinks I haven't been noticing her but I've saw her watching me before when going through the family album. I'm guessing she's told you about it? Well I hope she wasn't worrying because I find it a way to stay sane, I don't know... to look back at what I've lost. I just wish things ended up differently." "Don't we all" Autumn conveys quietly, as Maggie then says she can wish all she likes but it isn't going to happen. Outside, Kat is sat on the wall but the bushes behind her hide her from the others seeing her out the window as the camera does a close-up of her face as she stares into space.

The door to the Ice cream parlour goes, as Matt slumps in and sits on one of the red leather chairs for the high limestone made tables. "How's Georgina? I mean we haven't spoken to her since yesterday when she explained to us, about her absence and why... well I can't bring myself to say the actual words. I've never been any good at giving support to be honest no matter how much I wish I could at times like this" Rose says to him as she joins him at the table. "When she told me the other day, I had a load of emotions running through my head. I didn't know if to apologise to her, comfort her, try and cheer her up by a string of cheap jokes. I've never been faced with a situation like that before but I think she understood. We just made small talk for the rest of the time I was with her, then we went to Jia-Li's grave yesterday but she was still making small talk." "That's good of her though, I guess in a way it's evident she wants to try and move on from it but I still don't think it can just go away in a click and a flash... she must still be mortified" Rose wonders. "I know I would be" Daisy sighs as she joins the conversation. Matt then changes the subject and says things seem quiet, as Rose sighs saying they are trying to come up with some fresh promotional ideas. "You didn't seem to be like this when I first met you, where's those party girls gone? Your right proper businesswomen nowadays" he chuckles as Daisy begins to tug at her t-shirt, sneaking up to Matt and shouting jokingly her fun side is fighting to get out. "On the clearly welcoming topic of promotional stuff for this place, we have been throwing a few ideas around. E.g, designing a leaflet. Obviously it isn't finished yet but we need to spruce the business up a touch. After the attack I just want to put all my focus into this places success" she explains to him as she turns around her laptop screen to show him. "Simple but effective!" she shares as Matt smirks at her, as she taps him telling him not to laugh at her. "Oh come on though do you really think I care? I know that sounds bad but I just want us all to have a drink to be honest. But it's nice that you care so much about this place and you've managed to build it up, your only 18 and when I was that age I was a right troublemaker, the complete opposite to you two!" he laughs.

Kat is still sat outside the house and as the camera is focused on her in a sideways position a blurred figure is shown to be walking towards her who is later shown to be Carissa. "What are you doing out here without a coat on? I know it's only September but you'll catch your death staying out here" she tells her as Kat shakes out of her trance. "I, well I." Carissa puts her bag over her shoulder before sitting on the wall with her and asking what's happened. "Nothing honestly." "Listen we are alright aren't we? You seemed a little standoffish in your texts, I just hope what Autumn overheard me and Simon saying the other day hasn't done any damage. Simon told me yesterday he bumped into Maggie and she insisted you were all alright but were still friends, right?" she pushes, with a worn down Kat unable to slot a word in. Carissa apologises when realising how much she's talking, jokingly asking her if she has any cello tape. "Carissa you've been my only friend since moving here, and you've stuck with me through thick and thin. Covered for me which I shouldn't have let you do, supporting me when we all went through more difficult times, I'm far from angry at you. And if you really want to know I'm going to an AA meeting, it's what the kids want so I need to do it for them" she insists. Robbie walks into Leisure Life, twiddling his fingers on the desk and saying to Simon he wanted to see him. "Now I thought it was you that wanted to see me. Come through." Robbie does so but braces himself as Simon twiddles around on his chair. He insists that Elisha practically pushed him into this and he thought it'd only be fair if they spoke. "Simon I need to get back into work and I always loved this place. I love Stacey but I don't want to end up stacking shelves in a grubby shop for hours on end. Punching that man was something I'm always going to regret but I was a mess back then. Simon I know it's hard to take my word for it but I'd never dare do anything like that again. I've changed!" he genuinely swears. "Carissa will kill me for not consulting with her first" he whispers to himself before pausing and telling Robbie he can come back on Monday and they'll see how it goes. "You being serious? Wow, I..." "Just don't tell Carissa if you see her, I need to talk to her about it myself. We've been struggling to find a replacement and I do believe you've paid for your mistakes, so welcome back to the team" he smiles as they shake hands, with Robbie flooding him with a lots of thanking.

Matt and The Butterfields are sat in a booth in The Royal Hart as Moira brings their drinks over on a rusty tray. "How come you've got four? Have a guest who hasn't joined you yet?" Moira questions as Matt says they think Georgina is joining them which Moira accepts. Georgina is then shown looking up at the pub, before she takes a deep breath and walks in, looking around weakly at all the people in the pub before joining her friends. "You don't need to ask how I am guys... and you don't have to tiptoe around me." "You look really tired though and you didn't have to come and meet us if you weren't up for it - everybody needs their rest" Daisy kindly brings up but Georgina begins to talk over her slightly insisting frustratedly she doesn't want to sleep. "Besides even if I did I wouldn't be getting any. Anytime I manage to drop off I wake up almost screaming after having a nightmare, ridiculous or what?" Rose puts her hand on Georgina's saying it's not ridiculous but Georgina still reckons it is. It cuts to Kat who pulls into the Claremont centre car park. Her stomach then gurgles as she looks at the building in absolute fear. "You can do this, you can do this Kat" she murmurs to herself as she goes to open the door, before pausing and then doing so. It cuts to her walking through, as and sees a group of people waiting outside the main hall. She separates herself from them and sits on one of the chairs beside the wall on the corner, her handbag down firmly on top of her lap. A mysterious man is then shown watching her through people who are a barrier between him and Kat. He peers his head over the top of them, as Kat notices him before scratching behind her ear and awkwardly looking in the opposite direction. It cuts back to Georgina who is touching up her concealer in the pub toilets. Rose walks in causing Georgina to immediately role her eyes. "Worrying about me were you?" Georgina asks jokingly as Rose says she doesn't know what she's talking about. "It meant a lot you know. We've only known each other half a year but you still felt you could confide in us about what happened" Rose explains as Georgina smiles honestly at her, putting the lid onto her concealer. "Now I think we need to get out of these dirty toilets and have a few more drinks here and get completely wasted. And no worrying, I need it!" Georgina explains before storming out, but Rose is still looking with some concern.

Lucy slumps herself back into the house, as Harrison comments that she looks exhausted. "I am. And the interview went well thanks for asking, they were impressed with my skills and will contact me at a later date." He simply congratulates her as she takes off her blazer and puts it over the top of one of the chairs, asking where everybody is. "Emma's at Pizza Express giving Hanna a hand, and Carly's going to have to go on maternity leave at some point so were all going to have to be putting more work into the place. Rosa-Mays upstairs in her room, she's sulking because I told her she'd have to wait until her Birthday for some new boots. It's only a month away anyway!" "I bet you didn't think you'd be doing this anytime soon. Doing the normal things parents do: cause them to sulk, watch television with them... but it's nice you know. I'm still overwhelmed that were here and that you allowed us to stay until I got some money coming in. I don't think I've thanked you enough either" Lucy sneakily says, putting her hand on his arm. He slides his arm away in a subtle manner, saying she has and it's no problem as it's clear he is feeling awkward. "Well there's lots of positive things on the horizon anyway. A possibility of a new job for me, you and Emma in a steady marriage, Rosa-May preparing to settle into a new school. I just hope it lasts" she sweetly insists before walking out smiling. "Woah woah woah, what do you mean?" he asks as she pulls a confused face, saying she didn't mean anything by it. "Of course it's going to last. Is there any reason it wouldn't?" he asks as she once again repeats he's getting the wrong end of the stick. Back at the AA meeting, the leader of the organisation, Kat and the other people are listening to another woman talking. Her voice then begins to drown out as it zooms further and further in on Kat, when suddenly the woman sits down. "Now who's next? Like I've explained to you all earlier no-one is here to judge, everybody is in the same boat and we are here to support and listen, nothing less." He then suggests Kat goes next as she makes sure he means her before nodding and standing up. The man focuses on her again who was watching her earlier as she prepares to speak. "I... my names Kat, an-and I'm an alcoholic, alright" she admits after some stuttering as the other people listen closely, with Kat trying not to look at the man who is growing more and more intrigued in her.

Elisha and Robbie are also sat at one of the tables in the pub as the topic of conversation is unsurprisingly about him getting his job back. "I'm surprised Simon 'caved' if that's the appropriate word in so easily to be truthful. I was lost for words when he told me to come in on Monday, I just hope the fact he didn't talk to Carissa about it won't affect his promise." Elisha takes a sip of her vodka, before reminding him that Simon is a genuine guy and will do all in his power to get her on side. "But working along side me again, I bet your over the moon that I'm coming back. I mean I'm sure there's a few more things I'll have to sort with Simon before I'm officially working there again but I doubt it'll take long." They then kiss, as he says he doesn't think he's even thanked her properly for convincing him in the first place. "I was waiting for a thankyou and finally I got one. Don't think your off the hook yet though, Carissa's going to be wanting words!" He jokes he was hoping he could slip around the place avoiding her constantly but she reminds him that's never going to happen. It cuts to Autumn who is pouring some dog food into Rexys bowl. Rexy rushes in making a clattering noise as Autumn shouts at him to go steady. "I don't know what sort of questions to ask mum when she gets back. I don't know if to ask her any questions at all to be honest!" Autumn wonders. "I'm sure she'll talk to us about it when she feels like she's ready." "Anyone how was your second day of sixth form? I hadn't even properly asked you!" he asks as she reminds him she only had 2 periods this morning so she was back home before Kat went to the meeting. "I know I know I just wanted to see how you were adjusting.

Emma and Harrison both slump back onto their sofa at the same time. "After that hard days work I'd be happy to spend the whole of the weekend laying on this sofa!" she laughs. "What do you mean the weekend? We still have Friday to go yet" he reminds her as she says they are pointless details before laying her head on his shoulder. "How did Lucy's thing at the salon go? that's if she even spoke to you about it." "If I hadn't shown such a lack of interest in it she would have been going on about it for the rest of the night I tell you now. She's probably going to get the job, so at least she'll be out of our hair a little more. I don't want to have such ambivalent opinions towards her but there's still something about her that doesn't seem right. Lucy makes all of it complicated but Rosa-May is still her daughter and always will be so there's no getting rid of her." "Well I'm sorry but she isn't staying here for the rest of her days, it's crowded enough as it is and there's only four of us in the house. I just struggle to believe she has no money saved over at all, even after all the bailiff drama." Harrison says when looking at Lucy you wouldn't think she'd be the type of woman to be up to her eyes in trouble with failing to pay her way as Emma can't help but agree with this statement. "Oh I forgot to tell you as well. She said something earlier that really seemed, quite odd. Something along the lines of she hopes everything at the moment lasts, and she included our marriage in that. She didn't say it in a vicious way or anything and she just brushed it off when I brought her up on it, but I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it! She isn't getting in the way of us two, ever. We've just married and I'm my most happiest when with you" he promises, holding her head and lifting it half way in the air, jiggling his hand around in hers. "And it's the same with me for you. I mean we don't even know Lucy's intentions properly yet, but were both keeping an eye on her so it's not like were oblivious to her and any tricks she may begin to try to pull. I don't think we have anything to be concerned about Harrison." Harrison taps her leg flirtatiously saying she's probably right, but Emma corrects him by saying she's definitely right. The camera cuts to show Lucy, sat frozen on the stairs as she listens in on the conversation. She lets out a simple smirk, before sneaking back up the stairs. Harrison is now putting teabags into two mugs as Emma comes up and begins putting the sugar in the mugs. "I guess it'll have to be us who have to sort out Rosa-Mays enrolment though, I doubt Lucy would have the first clue as to where to start." "Neither would I though, Lucy probably knows more than me. Stuff like this isn't my forte but I want to try, to be one of those fathers that do right by their daughter and makes sure she gets the best." "Your a already doing well. Rosa-May is happy here, and as long as that stays the same your doing a good job." As Emma goes and sits back down to leave Harrison to finish the tea, he simply smiles at Emma's comment as the episode ends.

Really liked Thursday's episode of Digital Terrace, I'm really enjoying your mix of stories at the moment because after the dramatic set of months you've had we've reached the calm before the storm, because I think this winter is going to be very dramatic! When I say it's calm, I don't mean it in an offensive way, but it feels like we're having character interaction and learning about characters more than having big plots, which I enjoy just as much and which is good as it leads up to more dramatic things to come. I'm really excited for the next few months ahead on Digital Terrace, because I have full faith in you to make them great and explosive, and I'm excited to read all the dramas and mishaps which go on, I'm sure you've got some big things up your sleeve for us all to read! Anyway, just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job at this before I move onto the full feedback.

I'm happy Robbie has got his job back, it's nice to see him slowly getting back into the community after the rough ride he has had. He had the affair with Estelle and last her and Elisha, as well as his friends and other people and of course his job when he was fired from the job, but it's nice to see him slowly building that back up. The break was a really good idea for him I think, because he's come back as a renewed and refreshed character and him and Elisha really are made for each other. I'm glad she got him his job back at the gym and her speech to Simon was very well written and reflective, how she told him that she really thinks he has changed and that she wouldn't be begging Simon for Robbie's job/falling out with her dad if she didn't think that. It really backs them and makes them nice-rounded characters, and I really hope that Robbie and Elisha stick together and he keeps his job, but I'm not sure how Carissa is going to react when she learns that he has returned to the gym, I think she'll have her reservations at first but will then warm to the idea, much like she did when Carly and Liam found out they were expecting and that they wanted to keep the baby, which I really liked by the way!

Kat's AA meeting preparation was very nerve-wracking and also showed us what an alcoholic truly has to go to. I'm glad that in the end Jeremiah and Autumn didn't pressure her into do it and she finally decided to just do it of her own accord, but it's good that her children are cheering her along and supporting her alongside Maggie (and of course Rexy the dog). It's crazy how much the affair reveal has affected them as a family, but it really has changed them for the better in my opinion and they're a tighter unit than they ever have been before, which is down to your writing and allowing them to naturally progress following their brief recoil when Johnny and Sierra left. I was initially worried when you announced Johnny and Sierra's departures as they'd so far been a big back bone and driving force of the Kelsalls success, but that is definitely not the case as I still love the Kelsalls as much as I do now than I did back then, and you know full well that I was a big big fan of Johnny and Sierra's story and them (not in a way in which I thought what they were doing was good and I was supporting them, but in the way that they were providing drama that I was enjoying to read).

Harrison and Emma have been caught out by Lucy, and she's definitely not going to take it well I can tell! I'm just looking forward to her super bitch story, because I already see the schemes in her head and I could from earlier when she was playing mind-games with Harrison and saying that his and Emma's marriage wouldn't last and how she touched his arm, so when she heard Harrison and Emma discussing her that was only going to add fuel to her bitchy fire, and I'm looking forward to seeing it become a full on explosion! (Okay that was really cheesy but I don't give a damn tbh). Anyway, I'll also comment on Georgina's progression in the pub, it was great to see her conversing with her friends in the pub and with the teenage group which I've already told you Ii love, and I'm liking that she's slowly getting over her ordeal and looking towards the future, which I firmly believe a lot of people could do in Digital soap to make their lives just a little bit easier. Fantastic episode Owen, you've really improved so much as a writer and I love and look forward to every episode!

Carissa is shown walking down a corridor in Leisure Life, past a man fixing the vending machine and to the front of the reception. "Simon we really need to get on the replacement of Robbie. We haven't got enough gym instructors to fill the place and we've been meaning to get onto it properly for months." Her husband bites her lip and puts on a concerned face before uttering, "yeah regarding that, erm... there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Yesterday I, well Elisha." "Elisha what? She hasn't been complaining about that broken ladder again has she?" Carissa utters, echoing what Simon asked Elisha the previous episode. "No, nothing like that! She came to see me, and she wanted me to consider giving Robbie his job back." Carissa interrupts again saying she doesn't like where this is going so he begs her to let him finish for once, causing her to pull her head back in surprise. "You aren't going to like this but I arranged a meeting with Robbie, and after a lot of consideration I gave him his job back." Carissa isn't sure how to react, as Simon jokingly asks if he should start fleeing now before curling down into his chair and staying a nervous laugh. Emma and Hanna are behind the counter at Pizza Express talking about Lucy. "She's coming in today to 'give a helping hand' so you get to finally meet her. She's got hidden agendas that woman, and I don't feel comfortable living with her one single bit" Emma admits to her. "Well from what you've told me I would prefer to stay well clear of the woman. It's great Harrison has found his daughter and all but I bet part of him wishes Lucy wasn't part of the deal. The way I see it is Rosa-Mays like the thing you order of a site, and Lucy's like the postage and packaging. Do you catch my drift?" Hanna asks. "Yeah well in this case I wish it had been a free delivery!" she replies, going along with the joke. Lucy then enters in a smart dress as Emma's laugh immediately drops. "Your looking a little... wet" Emma scowls, as Lucy smiles saying she didn't realise it was raining before walking up to the counter. "And you must be the famous Hanna! Lovely to meet you at last" Lucy exclaims as Hanna tries to force a smile, but she doesn't say anything. "Right then so where does Harrison want me?" Lucy asks excitedly as she hangs up her cost on the wall beside the doors to the kitchen. Emma then scatters beneath the counter and pulls out a bottle of cleaning liquid, hinting for Lucy to clean the tables.

Kat, Jeremiah and Maggie are all sat at their dining room table eating their breakfast while Autumn, who's in her cream coloured dressing gown, tiredly picks out a box of cereal. As the cereal is heard being poured into the bowl in the background, Jeremiah asks Maggie what she's reading. "My daily horoscope." Kat says she can't believe people still go along with them as Maggie begins to read out what it says for Sagittarius, her horoscope. "Some unexpected changes that have been kept under wraps at the workplace could come out soon. They may involve reorganisation or a change of ownership. This is going profoundly affect your attitude toward your job... I wonder if this 'change' is going to make me actually want to go to work!" she laughs. Jeremiah then hops up off his chair saying he's going to meet Matt for a drink in the pub, as Kat brings to mind that it's only eleven in the morning. "Not alcohol!" he laughs as he then grabs his coat and walks out. "So come on then. You were a bit hushed about the meeting when you came back from it last night? How did it go? And be honest" she whispers as Autumn eats her breakfast stood up in the kitchen and Kat prepares to speak up. "I can't believe you've gone and done this without consulting me!" Carissa shouts to Simon, after he told her he had given Robbie his job back. "You remember the seriousness of his offence last time and the police nearly got involved. If so then we could have waved goodbye to more than one of our members." "I realise I should have talked to you about it first but we need to give him a chance. There's no denying he was brilliant at his job!" Simon fights back as Carissa tries to say something else but is struggling to. Robbie then cheerfully walks in, but smiles awkwardly when seeing an angry Carissa. "I, erm... was just here to find out more information? When I can start back? I know you said Monday but..." "Robbie Simon has made a mistake, we can't have you back working here again and that's just the end of it" Carissa explains as Robbie looks in shock, Simon trying to stop her decision as people begin to look at all the arguing. Simon then demands that Robbie comes through, before whispering to Carissa they are causing a scene and that's what will draw attention to themselves, before adding on they shouldn't be falling out over this.

Harrison asks Emma if Lucy is there yet, as she says she is and she's given her the delightful task of cleaning up. "Well there isn't much else she can do. All the trouble of asking Lucinda to look after Rosa-May for the day and we don't even need Lucy here, but what else can we do." "The sooner she gets a wage going and can put down a mortgage on a house, or begin renting a flat or whatever the better" Emma sighs. "I'm sure she'll be trying to drag it all out for as long as she can, I just try and concentrate on the fact I have my little girl back and forget about the negative side - it's the best way!" he explains as he opens the oven to take a pizza out. It cuts back to Lucy, as Hanna watches her warily. "So how long have you known Harrison and Emma for then?" Lucy questions in interest as she walks over to her. Hanna wants to know why she's asking that as Lucy just says she's only taking a casual interest. "I've known Harrison since I moved here a couple of years ago, he snapped me up almost straight away and I've been working here since. Emma, only since January when her and Harrison got speaking properly." "They've only been speaking since January this year?" she asks as Hanna pauses and nods, worrying that she has gave her that information. "But they are strong, and they click... get one another. Love one another" she literates, emphasising the last sentence largely as Lucy just gently nods. "I get the feeling I'm not liked very much here. I'm not here to stir up trouble if that's what Emma's worrying about and I definitely don't want Harrison back." "Why gave you brought that up? I never said anything about that" Hanna challenges as Lucy licks her teeth so her lips move to the side, as she tries to think of a reply. "I know you didn't but Emma's been strongly hinting at it. Me and Harrison were strong once upon a time but Rosa-Mays birth and my, my post-natal depression tore us apart bit by bit, then the accident was what broke everything down all together." Hanna, who hasn't really been paying attention to what she was saying, turns sharply around as she asks her what she means when she says 'accident.' "You know? The car crash" she explains, as Hanna looks at her in utter confusion as she doesn't know about Harrison injuring Lucy and Rosa-May all those years ago, with a devious Lucy secretly aware Hanna doesn't know about it she's just stirring up trouble.

Autumn is sat on her bed with Rexy sleeping beside her, as she strokes his fur before getting up and picking her phone up from the bedside table. Jeremiah then creeps in, as she says she thought he was meeting up with Matt. "I did, Ive been gone got over an hour!" he explains as she says it doesn't feel like that long. "I haven't spoken to him in months, I mean we've never really been that close but we've spoken a lot before, when Sierra was around" he mentions. "How is he holding up?" she ask referring to Jia-Li's death as Jeremiah says he seemed stronger than he thought he would be. "You rarely mention her you know. Obviously I understand why, and I'd like it if she was never mentioned again it's just... she was a part of your life for so long and-" "and she went and did what she did, and ruined everything that we ever had between the two of us. She hasn't tried to get in contact with me since she fled you know, and I know I could never forgive her but some small part of me wishes she had at least tried to get in touch." Autumn then looks at him in surprise. "How did it leave of? You've never said what you said to one another at the Airport and I want to support you, if you need to get it out in the open then I'm here to listen!" she reassuringly explains. "Okay... I can't remember much but, she was saying if it was the other way round and I had cheated she wouldn't have bothered doing what I did, and how what she did was unforgivable. I didn't want to be at that moment but I was still disgusted at her, I just turned around and walked away and you know something... I didn't even look back." Autumn pats his shoulder and tells him that's a good thing as it signals he's ready to move on. "But that's just it though, I haven't moved on from her. I want to but I just can't, but I don't want another relationship or anything like that anytime soon. She's destroyed my trust, and what if it's like that for any other girl I begin dating in the future? What if I'm filled with so much paranoia from the affair that I'll never be able to have another stable relationship again?" he begins to severely panic, looking up at his sister in fear. "That isn't going to happen, and you shouldn't let what him and Sierra did control your life, don't let it win" Autumn demands, comforting him.

It picks up from where it last left of with Hanna and Lucy, as Lucy asks her how much she actually knows about Harrison's history. "N-nothing much. What car crash Lucy? I don't understand what you mean!" Hanna exclaims as Lucy tries to stay composed. "Oh goodness I thought you already knew about this. You know about Emma's past so I just presumed Harrison told you about his as well..." she explains as Emma and Harrison walk out of the kitchens questioning what all the shouting is. "I want an explanation, that's what." "I thought she already knew honestly, but she doesn't. About the car crash" Lucy whispers to Harrison as Hanna folds her arms uttering she can still hear her. "You knew Hanna didn't know, have you done this on purpose to stir trouble up?" Harrison questions as Lucy gets on the defence, continuously lying and saying she genuinely thought Hanna knew about that night. "Hanna... I think maybe you should sit down for this." Hanna then tells him she doesn't need to sit down she just wants the confusion to be put straight. "When I left Lucy, it was because... well I was drunk and, and we had just argued and, and I wasn't concentrating and when Lucy was pulling out our drive I, I was re-returning home and I crashed into her car... and then I fled" he admits, before looking away in shame as Lucy turns her head and smirks to herself, before quickly looking back and pretending she feels awkward with it being brought up again. "I can't believe I'm hearing this, more lies?! Even after the fact that last time it almost tore apart our friendship! You had every opportunity to tell me about this when I overheard about Emma and her dad but you decided not to." Emma steps forward and quickly replies, informing her they didn't think it would help and it would cause even more unnecessary upset while Lucy's listening perks up after hearing Hanna mention 'Emma and her dad' as Lucy doesn't know about Emma's past. "Anymore secrets I ought to know about then Harrison? Do you have another secret daughter out there? Or Emma maybe yours is is that your dad isn't really dead!" she screeches as Emma steps forward pointing at her and saying that's enough as Lucy just watches it unfold, once again looking in interest at the mentions of Emma and her dad. Hanna then goes and grabs her coat, ignoring Harrison's pleads to not leave as she walks out the door, with Emma glaring angrily at Lucy.

Maggie is behind the counter of the corner shop with Kat giving her a bit of a helping hand as Stacey, who's stacking some baked beans, pears over the top of the shelf trying to listen into their conversation. "If the AA meeting last night didn't go as well as your claiming you shouldn't be ashamed to say" Maggie utters, as Kat laughs forcibly claiming it went fine. "I saw how shaky you were when you came back, and how nervous you were when you went as well. It's me your talking to Kat and just remember that." Kat then largely sighs and stops the work she's doing, before dropping her shoulders and confessing it perhaps didn't go as well as she told the kids. "You should have just said!" Maggie insists. Joel then walks into the corner shop and creeps up on Stacey, causing her to drop a can of beans on her foot which leads to her shouting that hurt. "Sorry about that, but hey it'll teach you not to eavesdrop on people's conversations." Stacey says it was just getting to the good bit causing Joel to smirk and roll his eyes, before picking the can of beans up and passing them to her. However he then hits his forehead and remembers he came in for beans, taking them back of her before going to the frozen foods aisle. "There was this mysterious man and he couldn't take his eyes of me for some reason, I had never saw him before in my life but I just tried to ignore that and when it was my turn I just stood up, took a deep breath and said those words, that I'm an alcoholic. I just hope the meetings get easier the more I attend them" Kat illustrates as Maggie says she's sure it will. Joel then walks up to the counter and unloads his basket as Maggie scans all the items. "Scarlet will only have the beans you sell here, it's a law in our house. These or none!" he explains. "That isn't the first time Ive heard someone say that" Maggie laughs as Joel then looks at Kat before quickly looking away as his smile drops, as he pays Maggie and takes away his shopping which is now in plastic bags. "I always find it awkward when him or his partner come in here and I'm working. To this day I think they still blame me for their miscarriage. I know they've never confronted me over it but it's obvious it's what they think." "I wouldn't worry love, it's not exactly like you pushed the girl down them stairs is it. Anyway back to the topic of those meetings, the next time it's on I'm coming with you... and I'm not taking no for an answer!" Maggie demands after Kat tried to speak up, Maggie shouting louder so she couldn't refuse her offer.

"Carissa please just give me this chance to prove to you I am back to normal. I wish I could turn back time, and I've wished that for months but it's never going to happen and the mistake I've made will always be with me and other people's minds!" Robbie begs to her, with Simon still in the middle of it all. "I'm not happy about this, but we'll see how things go on Monday and how you fit back in. Is that a fair deal?" Carissa asks. "My god I could kiss you right now... but don't worry, I won't do that" Robbie cheerfully says, as Elisha then walks down the corridor changed back into her casual clothes with her Nike bag hooked over her shoulder. "I could hear all the commotion from the side of the pool!" Elisha utters as Robbie jumps over the reception desk safely, before thanking them once again as he suddenly scoops Elisha of her feet and carries her out as she laughs, demanding he puts her down as they get out of Leisure Life. Back inside Carissa suddenly folds her arms and raises her eyebrows at her husband. "I know technically I should stay professional but..." she then pulls Simon up of the chair by his tie and begins kissing him passionately, before pulling away and whispering she adores how big is heart is. "And I adore how big your bank balance is!" he jokes as she hits his chest, before laughing and kissing him again. Harrison is knocking on Hanna's flat door outrageously, pleading with her to just open the door with a slight touch of tiredness in his voice. Realising he isn't getting anywhere, he decides to leave her alone and so he rushes casually back down the flat stairs. It cuts back to Pizza Express where Emma is stood at the counter patiently while Lucy sits at one of the tables as if nothing's happened. "It'd be best if you went and fetched your daughter from someone who WE had to convince to look after her despite the fact she has a busy schedule of her own and took her home Lucy, you've already done enough damage - whether it was accidental or intentional" Emma tells her coldly as Lucy quickly stands up. "It wasn't purposeful Emma and that's the truth, but of course I knew you won't believe me when I say that. Why would I want to jeopardise the new chance Harrison has given me by ruining one of his close friendships?" Lucy asks, before sighing and walking out.

Elisha and Robbie are now walking away from work heading back to the terrace, hand-in-hand. "I had worried about what Carissa's reaction would have been like and low and behold, I was right to have that worry. At least it all worked out in the end though" Elisha declares righteously as they stop so Robbie can tie her shoelace. "You was worried, when I saw Carissa I was shaking in my bloody boots! But at least now I have my job back it'll stop River complaining about how she's the only one bringing in proper money for the rent." "I bet it won't stop her complaining all together though" Elisha jokes as Robbie looks up at her smirking, while still tying. "She's got worst now she's back working again. She's constantly stressed, you know? And we can never seem to do anything to stop that. She's always been like that but this year she's been even worst." Elisha nods and takes a casual interest, saying she's always felt like she has to watch her words around her. "Imagine having to live with it! We all love her though, despite how different she is from the rest of us" he explains before standing up and beginning to walk slowly again. Robbie then takes out a pack of cigarettes and fiddles in his leather jacket for his lighter as Elisha scrunches up her face saying she wish he would pack that habit in. "Oh come on it's not like I'm addicted, I only have a couple a day! It won't do no harm" he insists but Elisha warns him he never knows. It cuts back to Autumn who's sat in the garden on the ledge in the middle of the garden. She then gets a text from Carly reading 'me and Liam don't have the first clue on this Biology work! Come round and help!!!' She smiles and gets up and walks back inside. Jeremiah is in the kitchen and he turns around to see her, stopping her and saying he'd like to thank her for their talk earlier. "No need to thank me is there, I just thought you might have needed someone to talk to because you've never really opened up since it all came out." Jeremiah then asks where Kat is and Autumn replies she thinks she's with Maggie at the shop, before saying she's off to do Carly a favour before getting her cardigan on.

It cuts to Lucy being sat on the sofa on her own, as Rosa-May comes walking in asking her mum where the television remote is. "Love do you have to watch TV at the moment?" she asks in frustration as Rosa-May ignores her and continues to look under the magazines for the remote. "Rosa-May didn't you hear what I just said?" she reiterates as Rosa-May sighs before saying there's no reason why she shouldn't be able to watch TV as Lucy isn't. "Well maybe I'd like some peace and quiet for a bit." As Rosa-May then finds the remote Lucy snatches it of her and throws it onto the floor, causing Rosa-May to angrily storm up the stairs in a strop. She then storms into her pink room and buries herself into the covers, as Lucy throws the magazines on the coffee table in the bin in anger as they are all mixed up and in her way. She leans against the wall and stretches the skin on her face stressfully. "I might have to enlist a new rule of no more Jimi Hendrix being played in this house, but then again you'd probably end up going on a rampage" Kat laughs as she stands at the living room doorway at The Kelsalls, as Maggie makes room for her on the sofa before firmly adding on she wouldn't like her on a rampage. Kat then gets then comfortable on the sofa, before turning to Maggie and asking if she's sure about her coming with her to the next AA meeting. "I told you that I was and I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. I won't come in with you or anything, I'll even just wait outside in the car if you'd prefer it it's just so you know I'm a few metres away if you can't handle it, I just don't think you should be on your own. And as for this mystery man you mentioned, if he carries on making you feel uncomfortable don't be afraid to stand up for yourself!" "Maggie you know me inside and out. Since when have I ever been worried about standing up for myself?" she rhetorically asks as Maggie laughs and says she's right. Jeremiah then walks through the doorway. "How did your horoscope reading go nan? Any 'under wraps developments' you discovered?" he chuckles as Maggie tells him to shut up.

Harrison and Emma finally return home, as Lucy hears the door open which causes her to relax more on the sofa ready for what's to come. "So go on then. Tell me why the hell you've done this to me!" Harrison demands as soon as he sees her. "I told Emma that it was accidental. I thought Hanna already knew about what you did and you fleeing, I don't know how many more times I have to say it" she exclaims, squirming more on the sofa. "I specifically told you when you came here that no-one knew about what had happened!" he reminds her as Emma stands in the background. "Yes but I didn't think everyone included Hanna, it was a misunderstanding and I couldn't be more sorry but, well if she forgave Emma for whatever happened with her father I'm sure she'll get over this." "That took weeks, and to this day out friendship hasn't been as close as it once was. It was different then, we had never hidden such a big secret like that from her before and now this is like we've done it all again. She doesn't want to speak to me, and being dragged into all this can't be doing any good for her I know that one. You've been living here two minutes and your already ruining my life. I just want you to get out of my hair as soon as possible, then we can arrange when each of us sees Rosa-May fairly and we don't hardly have to see one another." Emma smiles proudly that Harrison has finally came out and said it to her as Lucy looks with mixed emotions, but she once again apologises gently and says she's clearly not been welcome here since she arrived. "It isn't that. I was willing to give you a chance but you've been acting shiftily and you've gone against it." Lucy just looks at him before walking out the room and walking up the stairs realising that her stirring is working.

Another fantastic episode of Digital Terrace Owen, and well done on your 100 episode land-mark (even though I reached my 150th today, so keep up with the times bae or don't bother). I really enjoyed the episode, and I'm really enjoying Lucy's stirring! I loved it when she knew what she was doing and deliberately brought up the car crash and why Harrison fled to the terrace in the first place, but I feel bad for him and Emma because it took Hanna ages to forgive them when she discovered that Emma had helped kill her father along with her mother and Eddie, but I hope she at least gives Hanna a chance to explain herself. I have a feeling that this is just the start of schemer Lucy, and I love the way you're writing her so far. I'm kind of jealous because my soap bitches (Diane and Nikki) didn't really have any introduction to why they were bad, they just were, whilst with Lucy you've slowly shown that she's after Harrison and will do nothing to split him up with Emma, and now she's after Hanna as well! I'm really looking forward to seeing this story line progress, it's been brilliant so far from the minute Lucy and Rosa-May appeared but I hope Harrison gets more custody of Rosa-May than Lucy because of what we've seen in today's episode, she certainly isn't a good or patient mother at all!

Elisha and Robbie are really intriguing, I really like how you're giving them a lot of focus especially as admittedly Elisha hasn't had much to do over these past few months because she's been wrapped up in her families problems (which I admire by the way, if you give a family two many individual story lines then they eventually just implode into one big mess like the Roscoes in Hollyoaks!), so I'm glad that her developing story is just her and Robbie getting back together, nothing too dramatic which could tarnish her character but something that puts her at the forefront and so far I've loved seeing the new side to Robbie which Elisha manages to bring out - he's definitely more committed to her and he's loads different with her now compared to what he was like when they were in a relationship when he was having the affair with Estelle, which I think is what has changed so much for the better. Simon and Carissa's marriage has been explored a fair bit throughout Robbie getting his job back at the gym as well, as Simon is shown to make a decision without Carissa but she nearly made him retract it, showing who really wears the trousers in their relationship but I'm glad that she saw sense in the end and actually gave him a big kiss which I'm surprised about, I thought she'd be a bit annoyed but that's the beauty of their marriage I guess!

Kat and Maggie's scenes were really nicely done today, a great reference to what Kat said before about Maggie listening to Jimi Hendrix and their scenes in the shop were also good when Kat was discussing her AA meetings, I wonder who the mystery man is...a new love interest maybe? I think it'll take some doing for the man to impress Kat though, coming out of a lengthy marriage to Johnny in which he traded her in for a younger model in Sierra, she's going to have a hard time loving and trusting again but I could be completely wrong in my assumption that the AA meeting man has any romantic interest in her! Maggie was also good in the corner shop scenes, it's lovely how she offered to go with Kat to the meetings too and the use of Stacey eavesdropping and Joel buying the beans was good, was a great reference to the past with Kat mentioning the abortion fall, that's a blast from the past but it's good that it's still being mentioned - very realistic! I also liked that we've had Jeremiah reflect to Autumn about his feelings to Sierra after ditching her at the airport, it's good that he hasn't dropped his feelings because that would be weird but good that he's slowly getting over her and building a friendship with Matt, and Autumn getting back to her normal routine to go and help Carly and Liam was a very nice touch indeed!

Fabulous episode Owen, and once again congratulations on 100 of them!

Kat is sat at the table in the same attire as she wore to her first AA meeting, formally drinking a glass of orange juice as she breathes in and out calmly. She then slowly stands up and heads up the stairs, walking into Maggie's room to see a plastic bag half-filled with clothes. "I was just doing a little sort out. I must make a confession in which since last Christmas my dietary requirements, well they've flown out the window. But I can justify it, when you get older you care less about public perceptions, I know I do anyway. At least a quarter of the clothes I brought with me when we moved here are too tight on me now!" she sighs as she holds a leopard print top up to the t-shirt she's currently wearing, trying to work out if it still fits. "Well sadly not every girl in the world can be a comfortable size 8, the world just doesn't work like that. Do, do you mind if you do this later though? If not I can always drive myself to the meeting it's just it starts in half an hour or so and I need a bit of time in the car to prepare myself, you know?" she implies, rolling up her sleeve to look firmly at her Michael Kors watch hooked around his upper hand. Maggie says she's already swore to her she's taking her and she isn't going to be breaking that before hurrying her out the room, as Kat laughs saying they aren't even that late but Maggie persists in rushing her down the stairs saying it's better to be early. Simon comes down the stairs in a suit ready for work as usual where he notices watery patches in the gap between the fridge and the washing machine, as well as trails of white textures. "Carissa... come in here!" he shouts as he shouts it again when there isn't a reply the first time. "Alright love I did hear you the first time, I thought you were heading of to work earlier today anyway?" she asks, walking in. "Well I was planning on it until I saw that" he explains as he points at it, questioning if the washing machines leaked. "Either that or someone's spilt some cocaine down there!" she jokes, referring to the white patches which are actually soap suds. "Well it doesn't look like I'll be going to work early then, which is a real pain as I was going to get some paperwork completed in the peace and quiet." Carissa puts a hand on her hip, saying he can go and she can get to the root of the leak. "Really... you? Carissa come on I know you've come out with some dreadful jokes in the past but, well I think you may have a hit a new low!" he cheekily implies as she pulls an unimpressed face.

Nick is sat with the twins in a carrier beside him on the sofa, as he rocks it back and forth gently with Estelle joining him and questioning why the television is of. "Well it's probably on a loud sound and when it comes on it'll wake the twins, I don't want to risk it because they've been practically sleepless all night." "And so have we!" Estelle reminds him. She then softens and sits down on the armchair, swirling round to the corner so she's on the side facing Nick, as she fiddles her hands together on the ledge. "Georgina's leaving the house a lot more recently, and I haven't even had a chance to thank Matt yet." Estelle looks up at him, as he reminds her it was him who had that talk with her so he's guessing he played a part in getting her confidence back. "Yeah, Nick I think there's something I ought to tell you. I didn't really know if to but, well you think she's coping so well when in reality-" Nick then stands up and nervously peers over her, pleading with her to spit it out. "Last night I got up, I, I think it was about one in the morning something around that, and I heard crying in her room. I didn't want to disturb her so I just left it. What I'm trying to say is this strong front she's trying to put on is fake" she admits cautiously as Nick just looks at her with a slightly disturbed neutral face, asking her what they are going to do. "Well what can we do? We just need to give her as much support as possible until the trial inevitably rears it's ugly head, which I don't know how she's going to get through" Estelle regretfully sighs. "She isn't strong enough, you even just said it! She's going to crack at that stand and I just know it, I'm just desperate to come up with a solution." Estelle says he clearly has good intentions but after what she's been out through there isn't really a solution before walking out and down to the kitchen. Upstairs, Georgina is in the bathroom applying freezing cold water to her hands and face, the chill running through her body as she breathes out heavily, glancing at the circular mirror on the wall before standing up straight and walking out.

Rose is at the business scribbling something down on one of the high tables, as Daisy serves some customers who are choosing complicated flavours to go with one another. Once they leave, Daisy says she's thankful that's over before joining Rose at the table, struggling to get up on the stool in the process. Rose questions why and so she explains how long they took. "That isn't the right mental attitude to have! Were co-owning a business and remember, the customer is always right." "Yeah that's if they don't have unrealistic expectations - that woman wanted about four different scoops on one cone, I'm hardly an expert on that and she kept changing her mind!" Daisy replies. "I'm just going through the measurements for this new freezer we are installing anyway, so get back behind that counter you!" Rose laughs. Kat is back at the Claremont Centre again, as the meeting leader comes out of the hall welcoming everyone in supportably with handshakes and taps on backs. "You look more comfortable today than you did the last time you were here" the man who was mysteriously watching her turns around and says to Kat once they enter the hall, as Kat doesn't really know what to say but she just smiles before awkwardly sitting down away from him. "I'm not carrying the Ebola virus you know - I don't bite, although some say I look like I'm that type" the man then whispers in Kats ear from behind her before he goes and sits opposite to her, Kat startled but she gently smiles to herself. It cuts to Nick and Estelle who are now at the pharmacy. "I didn't know if leaving Georgina on her with the twins was a good idea but she insisted she liked looking after them, she said they were better company than me as well!" he says in surprise as she laughs slightly saying he knows she was only joking, as she stacks some shampoos onto a shelf. "At least she seems to be getting her sense of humour back, I still don't think I should do nothing though and I've been thinking for the majority of the morning on what could help her, and I thought suggesting the idea of counselling would be useful" he comes out with. "Counselling?" Estelle repeats in a slightly more nervous tone than his, before asking him if he's really sure that she would agree to trying something like that as she's still putting the front on, as he shrugs his shoulders saying it's his best shot.

Carly, Liam and Autumn are all sat in their sixth form common room on the sofas on their lunch break. "Thanks for coming around and helping out with that coursework by the way, I've always been a nightmare with all that!" Carly laughs as she takes out a folder from her bag, as she goes through some of the sheets in it. She takes one out as Autumn, who has a mouthful of food so she can't speak, hints at Carly to pass her the sheet and so she does so, as she says she doesn't think she's got this bit of information after swallowing her food. Liam laughs and says he might as well not be there as Carly kisses him briefly and apologises, hooking their arms even though they are still sat down. "Have your parents tried getting in touch recently?" Autumn suddenly comes out with as Carly and Liam look at one another with annoyance before Liam turns back to Autumn. "Oh sorry... didn't realise you didn't want it bringing up" Autumn comes out with as she looks up because of the lack of reply and sees Carly's expression. "No, no it's alright, no they haven't bothered trying but then again I never really expected them to. I was a fool and let them rule my life for to long and I almost let them do it again, but this time I fought back and did what was best for me, to be there for my girlfriend and our child. I know it'll be hard, unbelievably hard, but it'll give me a purpose, someone to take care of which I want." Autumn puts her hand on his shoulders and shakes it, saying that's good on him. "They ain't worth it Liam, they won't accept that I'm having a baby and that's just that. Anyway, we should be asking you how you are, how did your mums first meeting thing go?" she asks in interest as she just timidly nods saying it went as well as possible. "An-and what about the sentencing? I feel bad for asking b-but when is it again?" she asks with more concern than the last question as she admits it's this Thursday. "As in two days away Thursday? Autumn you should have said if you needed someone to talk to about it... you still can if you need to. Are you going to it?" she asks. "I, I don't know what to do, it's such a difficult situation Carls, but I know he isn't going to get of lightly for what he did to Rose, and I wouldn't even like him to either. Were all better and stronger without him, and even if he were ever to come back into my life I don't think I could pluck up the courage to ever forgive him" she confesses before looking back at her work as Carly continues to watch on anxiously.

Simon has now pulled the washing machine out from its original placement as he tries to pinpoint where the leak is actually coming from. The door opens and Carissa hurries in, also on a lunch break, as she rapidly gets some bread from the breadbin, scurrying past Simon to get something from the fridge. "You still haven't even found where the leak is yet? I've been gone three hours what have you done in that time?" she asks in outrage while multitasking and buttering the bread. He moans he had to clean the leakage up first and then got sidetracked by paperwork again, his voice mumbled out as he leans around the back of the washing machine as she nods in realisation. "Off topic but don't think you're watching the news tonight, all the stuff I like is on!" Carissa exclaims as Simon groans. "And why are you groaning? It'll just be taking up by all the Scottish Independence vote and people's opinions on it, you aren't even interested in politics and all that crap!" Carissa exclaims. "Hmm, could you really include it in politics though?" Simon asks, lifting up his head from having his head on the kitchen floor. Carissa takes a huge bite into her uncut sandwich, as he laughs asking why she didn't just make one this morning so she could take it to work and save the hassle or driving back home. "Because I wanted to see my beautiful husband in action. I was hoping for you to be topless and covered in oil but fat chance of that, eh!" she exclaims. "I'm finding the leak on our rusty old washing machine, not fixing a car!" he tells her. Daisy is now staring into space, leaning on the counter with a fixated expression. "Hello... Earth to Miss Butterfield?" Rose says to her sister as she walks over to her and moves her hand in front of her face. "I was just thinking... about Danny. I was on the phone to Jamie earlier and he was talking to me about his plan of opening up a new mechanics, well I think it's close to being opened soon and I dunno, I just thought of Danny. Anything from the Way does though I suppose." Rose sighs, saying she thought she had moved on from him and had agreed to try and forget. "You know that's never going to happen fully, he was such a massive part of my life. I can still have my life here and have thoughts of Danny from time to time though, it's not as if I ought to wipe him out completely." Rose says there's nothing wrong with that, before sighing and saying all she's thinking about is the sentencing. "Well maybe after it I should make you promise to close that chapter of your life and accept that Johnny's got what's coming to him, and I hope Sierra will at some point as well. All we should do now is put our concentration into this business like you said the other day to Matt and me, and when we're ready go out and snog a random guy just because we feel like doing it" Daisy cheerfully rebels, as Rose smiles and agrees heavily.

People begin flooding out the hall following the meeting, with the man catching up with Kat. "Listen what do you want from me? All the staring and the comments is really making me feel uncomfortable so if you have a problem, come out with it" Kat declares as she turns around just as he's about to put his hand on her shoulder. He just laughs and swifts his hands down his sides as she questions what he's laughing at. "I'm Jonathan, just incase you were wondering. I'm guessing you weren't but I thought I might as well tell you... and I'm just interested by you and your story" he smirks. "You know nothing much about my story, what I've said to everyone in that meeting isn't even a pinch of what's happened to me, but that's nothing to do with you anyway." Kat then prepares to walk out the centre but Jonathan rushes up to her and stops her, asking if she fancies going with him for a coffee. "What? I don't even know anything about you!" she exclaims. "All the more reason to come with me. I know I probably didn't handle it in the best way but I knew it was your first meeting here and I wanted you to feel as comfortable as possible, I didn't even consider that I could be causing you to feel the opposite so I'm sorry about that." "I don't know if I-" Jonathan pleads with her once again, saying he wants to apologise properly and then jokingly promising he won't stare at her again. "I, I suppose a quick one wouldn't hurt... and you don't look as if your going to give up anytime soon" she says as they both walk down the outside steps. Maggie looks in interest at the man waiting at the bottom of the steps as Kat walks over to the car, Maggie rolling the window down as Kat explains she's not coming back straight away. "Why not?" Maggie asks as Kat subtly leans her hands on the window ledge, saying the gentleman in the corner has insisted he buys her a coffee. "What, is he from the meeting? That's fine anyway just make sure that you are careful." Kat smirks saying she doubts he's a mass murderer despite her reservations on him at first. "I'm guessing you'll be alright to get back home by yourself then?" Maggie asks as Kat nods frantically saying she will see her later and walking back over to Jonathan.

"Nick, don't do anything rash. Counselling might not be the answer! Going in head first may destroy any confidence she has managed to build up since the incident" she says in a voicemail, before murmuring to herself she should have stopped him from leaving. It cuts to a shocked Georgina, with Nick at the opposite side of the table evidently having told her she ought to try out counselling sessions. "No chance, no chance in hell! Nick doing that isn't going to help out, and I don't even need help anyway." "Estelle heard you crying last night, so stop putting this front on. We're your family and we really want to give you support but how are we meant to do that when you keep pushing it away?" he wonders. Georgina then suddenly throws everything of the kitchen table with one swipe causing Nick to look in horror. Georgina rapidly apologises before you getting to her knees and picking what she through of up, as Nick insists she stops. Georgina doesn't so he pleads with her to stop, squatting and putting his hand on hers when it's on the floor. "I can't do this Nick... make out like what's happened isn't affecting me. Every, single, day it's tearing me up. I, I presumed it'd get easier but it doesn't!" she cries, looking up at him, as he leans over and puts his arm around her head, pulling her in as she tries to stop herself from crying. Simon shouts to Carissa that he thinks he's found where the leak is coming from as she sarcastically comments it took him long enough. "Simon it's taken you most of the day to do that, not that you do much at the business anyway bu-" "I don't know how you dare! I've put all my effort into that place, and it's definitely worked. More memberships then ever before was it?" he gets on the defence as Carissa gently taps Simon with her foot, saying she appreciates it. "Can't we just get a mechanic in?" she simply suggests as he insists that's just wasting money that they don't need to spend. "Well I'll give you the rest of the night and if it leaks again when I put another load in later we are getting someone in" she insists with her arms now firmly crossed. "Well I don't think you'll need to because... I think I have managed to fix it!" Simon manages, putting powerful emphasis on the words after the pause as Carissa says she will believe it when she sees it before shouting at him to get started on dinner from the corridor causing him to pull a face.

Carly, Liam, and Autumn are now all walking back to the terrace. "Thankfully todays now over. I swear down if I hear Mr. Greenhold snort after another sentence I think I'll lose my mind... and those outrageous shirts he wears on a daily basis as well, it looks like he should be trading on a market stall or something like that!" he exclaims with Carly laughing slightly as Autumn just looks down, as Carly nods her head to urge Liam to let them speak privately. "I, I'll just walk ahead" he insists before doing so. "Why is he walking ahead? Does he need to be somewhere?" Autumn wonders, perking up as Carly prepares to speak. "I told him to so we could have a private talk, about your dad and the sentencing thing. I know you seemed uncomfortable talking about it earlier." Autumn tells her friend that wasn't because of Liam, walking at a slightly faster pace causing Carly to try and catch up with her. "I know that, but maybe you didn't realise you could talk to me about it if needs be. This is a big thing, and I'm not going to try and sugarcoat it because let's face it he's facing a pretty long stretch in prison ahead of him" Carly insensitively says as Autumn turns around and shouts that she is fully aware of that, which causes Liam to look back to see if everything is alright. "I'm sorry I should have thought more about the way I said that." "I was thinking about it after lunch and I know nan and mums going, so I think it's only right that I go along with them. I don't want to even look at him but I want to support mum, and I think the meetings are helping her but I need to make sure when the sentence is revealed that she doesn't go off the rails yet again. None of us can deal with that, we've had enough of dealing with that" Autumn exclaims as they both walk to the side of the road to allow a car to pass by. "I know nothing about them but I know they must help people get their lives back on a healthy path. Kat's saw how much damage she does by her excessive drinking, well she must have by now right? I don't think she's going to do it again Autumn, she knows how much she has on the line." Autumn agrees before putting her arm over her shoulder and kissing her friend on the cheek, saying without her she would end up cracking after everything that's happened. "I told you talking to me about it would make you feel more reflective on things, didn't I?" Carly shouts as Liam turns back to them shouting at the top of his voice if he's allowed to come back as Autumn and Carly chuckle to one another.

Kat and Jonathan are now sat in the run down cafe in town, the one in which Maggie tried to arrange a meet-up with Kat and Johnny after the affair reveal. "These place brings back bad memories, and not just because of the service either" she says, making a failed attempt at humour at the end of the sentence. "I hope you don't mind me prying, but who was the woman in the car you were speaking to?" he questions in interest yet with slight hesitance that she won't give him a solid answer as he sips his coffee, while still focusing his eyes on her. "My mother-in-law, but my husband isn't around. It's a long story which I'd prefer not to delve into, especially as I barely know anything about you." Jonathan smirks again but it's hard to tell with the coffee mug still up at his mouth. "You've been a lot more open about your story than I will ever be, I do admire the confidence you have in that meeting room, but the problem with you is that it you urge it anymore it can easily click to cockiness" Kat continues. "Yeah well why should I hide it. Drink drove my girlfriend away back in December and since then I've been trying to pick up the pieces haven't I. It was our first Christmas together as well, well second one but the year before she was away on work purposes for most of December so the build-up, the excitement wasn't there." "Well it just makes me realise how lucky I am. I've been close to it, close to losing everything before and I don't want to risk that ever again. Your experience has helped me on that front!" Jonathan then continues his story, saying that he tried his hardest to get her back but she was having none of it. "Was she a keeper?" she asks. "She was one of the good ones yeah. She knew about my alcoholism and accepted it but I pushed her to breaking point. You know there was time when I got so smashed that I, I almost hit her. These meetings have been a god send" Jonathan continues to reveal with Kat scratching behind her ear, awkward at that confession.

Estelle floods back into the house, but breathes a sigh of relief as she sees Nick and Georgina sitting on the sofa together calmly in the middle of a heart-to-heart. She stops mid sentence before realising and gently shutting the door again as Nick nods at his wife. "This is the first time, first time I've ever talked in detail about what happened. I know i confided in Matt but I felt sick to the bone. I-I couldn't bare tell him because I wasn't strong enough. He FORCED me into having sex with a stranger Nick, the breath on my neck, all the time wishing it would just stop... the amount of times I cried at the door and wished I could get out, I felt ill 24/7, Nick he ruined my life" she exclaims. "Georgina I know how hard this must be for you to relive it all but we have to face facts don't we, that scumbags defence lawyer is going to be brutal, and you need to be prepared or that. They'll try and twist things, and under NO circumstance can you let them walk all over you. Standing in front of a packed courtroom is hard enough without having to say what he put you through, bu-" "I won't let him win again, I won't let a man like that walk free, there's a fair amount of evidence against him and I need to use that because if he is released he could go and do this to another girl. The, the prostitute, the woman who helped me escape and called the police, she's taking the stand as well and she must be another thing stacked against him, right?" Georgina speculates as Nick says exactly and that she's doing extremely well to be as strong as she being at the moment. "I'm hanging on by a very thin string Nick, It won't be hard for me to just crack again. I just need to pray that I get justice, because what's he's done is going to be stuck with me for the rest of my life, but I refuse the counselling idea because I genuinely don't think it'll help me Nick, I really don't want it. Not that I don't appreciate the suggestion though." Georgina then hugs him briefly, before getting up and walking out the room and up the stairs. As she gets into her room she leans against the door with her hand over her mouth as once again she tries to stop tears from leaving her eyes, as she looks up in the air blinking heavily as the camera focuses on her distraught face, clearly realising she cannot cope.

The episode opens outside Coventry Crown Court, with Maggie walking up the thin steps and then up the steep pathway to the entrance. Kat, Autumn and Jeremiah are not far behind as Kat suddenly pauses and looks up the pathway. Her children both turn their heads, with Autumn keeping silent but holding out her arm for Kat to hold. Kat does so as they slowly continue to walk. "We have to stay strong, show him we don't need him" Jeremiah utters, not looking the woman in the face. Elsewhere, Rose and Daisy are already waiting outside the court room on a couple of waiting chairs. "How long do you think it'll last?" Rose comes out with as the two of them watch the occasional person walk by in a suit, sometimes carrying notepads and sheets and folders. "Strangely enough Rose Ive never found myself in a courtroom for a sentencing so I haven't got the foggiest." Daisy then peers over and senses a touch of a disheartened manner about her so she decides to try and estimate a proper answer. "Well it shouldn't be too long, it won't be as complicated as a trial anyway considering he's confessed - I guess it'll just be explaining the factors and then giving him his sentence. I think we both, especially you, just want it to be over as soon as possible though... and I'm sure it'll be done in a flash, you'll be surprised" Daisy tells her reassuringly. "More like the opposite! A minute will well and truly feel like an hour in that courtroom. I don't know if I can stomach seeing him again" Rose utters with disgust before continuing. "Imagine how his family must be feeling as well. But do you want to know something? I've never once regretted telling everyone about the affair. Yes I should have handled it a bit better and not shown it at Emma and Harrisons reception, but I was so desperate. I had forgotten about it for so long so when I finally remembered what had happened I couldn't let them get away with it any longer." Daisy then simply puts her cold bony hand on Roses leg which is sealed with shiny black tights, as Daisy quietly confirms she did the right thing. "And who knows, if I hadn't revealed the truth we might not have been here now. Sierra may have never given us that confession" Rose boldly utters, looking at her sister.

Gemma is upstairs having a rest on her bed, as there's then a knock on the door. Gemma sighs knowing who it is as she drags herself up of the bed and goes down the stairs, opening it to reveal a social worker, the same one that turned up following Emma's call to the social services about possible child abandonment. "Hello Gemma... I apologise if I'm a little earlier than expected... I just want to reassure you that this is all just routine, like my visit back in January and the one a few months ago as well." "Yeah of course, come in" Gemma smiles with an element of fakery, with her doing so as Gemma insists that she goes through as she braces herself before going into the kitchen to get Louis. The scene then cuts to Annie and Ted Richardson, Liams parents, who are sat in their own car with a load of luggage clearly in the boot and on the back seats. "We aren't leaving without speaking to Liam first, he's probably desperate to get out of that place now, knowing being a father isn't all it's cracked up to be! That's why we need to ask him if he wants to come with us" Annie utters, before pulling down the mirror from the ceiling of the car and sliding it across to look at herself. "You know all of this has never felt right though love. For weeks now we've been packing up, selling the house and we haven't uttered one word to Liam about it. All I'm saying is if he was to come with us, I doubt he'll be convinced to within half an hour put it that way. Maybe he's happy with his choice?" he puts forward as Annie slams the mirror back up, glaring at him and asking him what he means by that. "Well I believe that if he realised he had made a mistake by moving out and with a girl he got knocked up, he would have come back to us by now. It's been weeks since he moved out after the argument." "Well to be honest Ted we can't even be sure that he's ended up there. But he must have, he has no other family around here and he would have came back to us if he had nowhere else to go. There's no harm in checking, and it's only because of my expert memory that we actually know where that girlfriend of his lives, now drive" she demands, before looking back at all their belongings as the camera cuts to their car driving away, with a sold sign out in their old front garden.

Kat, Maggie and the children, as well as The Butterfields who are separated from them, are now all waiting in the gallery of the courtroom. "So is there anything in it then? With this Jonathan fella you went for a coffee with the other day?" Maggie suddenly blurts out quietly to Kat so the other two don't hear. "Maggie there's absolutely nothing in it, not at all in that way anyway. Why would I jump into bed with another guy after what's happened to me? I'll be lucky if I can ever trust another man again. We're just friends, and he's a real support at the meetings. Besides if there was something in it, which let me reiterate again that there will never be, I think you'd be doing all you can to find out" she says with a smirk on her face at the end. "It's nothing to do with me, but I didn't think you'd jump into something so soon after Johnny. I-it'll be strange, seeing him again. Obviously now I'm struggling to consider him a son but seeing how long he'll be going down for, I don't know how I'm going to react" Maggie says, butterflies clearly in her stomach as she nervously stares directly in front of her. Georgina is sat at the kitchen table fiddling with her nails, when suddenly Nick comes in. "Aren't you supposed to be at the pharmacy? Better not be worrying about me again." "Estelle's covering" Nick claims before then puts a prescription bag on the table, causing Georgina to look in confusion and ask why he's brought that. He then takes out a pack of stress relief pills, as she looks in further confusion. "These better not be for me..." Georgina exclaims, scraping out the chair and standing up. "Well who else would they be for?" he questions as she walks over to the sink saying she doesn't need them, her voice becoming quieter and almost inaudible to the end of her sentence. "Come on Georgina! It isn't a big deal, I just thought it'd help you relax with the trial up and coming. I mean you did say you didn't want counselling so I thought-" "you thought what? Nick stop this! Stop trying to find ways to make me block it all out!" she demands, before barging past him and storming out the house as Nick sighs loudly before throwing the packet of pills back into the paper bag.

Johnny's sentencing is now in process and close to the end, the first shot of Kat taking a large breath. It cuts to Johnny Kelsall in the murky glass box, his last appearance being a month ago in a prison cell, as he looks back briefly at the officer guards behind him before glancing over at the gallery. "After weighing up the factors of the brutality of the attack, the fact it was pre-planned and taken into consideration other factors such as past criminal charges, which there is none of, and that you confessed to the charge during questioning... I have no other option than to give you a sentence of a minimum of 17 years in police custody" the judge reveals to everyone, as Johnny tries to breath out but it's interrupted by a stuttering, trying but miserably failing to stay composed. "Kat, Maggie, kids, I love you, and I'm sorry! Sorry for everything!" he exclaims boldly as he is taken down. Kat just looks on in a frozen state, as does Maggie, as Rose turns to her sister. "Told you" Daisy whispers, as Rose proudly watches him being taken away by the guards knowing officially that justice has been served. The door of the Reynolds is knocked on, with Liam helping out Simon as they are repainting the walls of the spare room, white paint all over Simons t-shirt as Carly shouts that she will get the door. She opens it and sees Ted and Annie stood there, Annie instantly looking away in annoyance to see Carly. "What do you want?" Carly asks rudely. "We don't particularly want anything from you, I'd just like to know if my son ended up coming here after our argument a few weeks ago." "Yes, and this is his new start, new home. You haven't bothered trying to get in contact with him during that time so what's caused you to suddenly have a change of heart?" Carly interrogates, keeping the door as closed as possible. "May we just come in to explain?" Ted pleads, a little more benevolent than his wife as Carly bites her tongue before swinging the door open for them to pass. "Liam, there's some people down here who want to see you!" Carly shouts up the stairs, not referring to them as his parents as Annie tuts. Carissa comes out of the kitchen and looks in surprise to see them, as Liam positively hops down the stairs but stops when seeing them. "Finally decided to try and see me then have you?" he comes out with, Carly looking away awkwardly with her arms loosely folded.

Gemma is sat on the rugged greenish sofa in her living room, Louis squirming around on her knee as the social worker talks to her. "So you mentioned that Louis dad is back in his life?" she brings up again, as Gemma nods genuinely. "Yes, and he really wants to make an effort with his son as well. He can't be here, at an interview... he's been looking for jobs for about a week now, hopefully he'll be successful with this one. Only one at a garage, don't want to go singing his praises yet but he's had past experience, so hopefully eh." "That's really good to hear. Everything alright with Louis health as well? Nothing to report on that front?" she then comes out with as Gemma shakes her head. "The occasional sniffle now and then, nothing out of the ordinary. I know it's a little bit of bad timing, what with him at the interview when your here... looks a little bad I guess." The social worker insists that it doesn't at all and adds on it can't be helped, before writing something else down on her sheet as Gemma tries not to focus on that as she begins to tickle Louis slightly and make him chuckle. It cuts back to Liam sat on one corner of a sofa, his parents at the other while The Reynolds sit at the far end on another sofa. Annie prepares to speak after looking over at Carissa and Simon. "We, we don't really know how to tell you this, but we couldn't just not tell you. That wouldn't give us any credit as parents now would it?" "Well you've never really been perfect for credibility. Just tell me, i-is one of you ill or something?" he uncomfortably asks, as Simon shifts around. "No... we should have told you earlier bu-but we've sold the house, put our notices in that our respective jobs, we're leaving Liam... moving away." There's a spacious pause, as Liam backs his body away before shaking his head and looking down. "Just like that" he utters, as Carly looks over at her parents. "Annie thought we ought to ask you if you wanted to come with us bu-but well, it looks as if you're settled here." "Well we don't know that Ted, are you happy?" Annie comes out with as Liam shakes his head in outrage. "Dads right, I am happy! I'm settling into sixth form, and Carly is MY world! I love her, I don't care if we're only 16. Why would I be bothered if your leaving anyway? You should have just gone without saying anything, stress is the last thing Carly needs and I couldn't care less what you do with yourselves!" Liam exclaims before leaving the room, as Carly follows.

Kat is suddenly shown rushing out of the entrance of the Crown Court as Autumn quickly follows, holding the side of her blazer as she follows. "Mum wait up, please! It's a big shock for us all of us but in a way we knew it was coming!" Autumn exclaims, but Kat shouts back that she just needs some time alone. "Mum no! Please stop!" Autumn shouts at the top of her voice as Kat fails to, running around a street corner. Jeremiah appears behind Autumn suggesting they let her cool down. "Jeremiah we can't, what if she does something she'll regret? Drink?" she worries massively. The very next scene is Georgina at a table in the pub, as Matt brings over his and her drink. "I need this" she murmurs, scraping it off the table and downing some of it. "So Nick gave you a prescription of pills that help with stress? And that's why you're like this?" he wonders as she stressfully nods. "I know he means well but it is all getting a bit too much now. He doesn't realise that maybe I just want to be treated normally, he was just as overprotective when Estelle was pregnant. Remember? It got in the way of his bar shifts here, towards the end he didn't even want her leaving the house! His qualities work against him at times" she explains, drinking a load more. "That's just how he's always been though right? By the way does this t-shirt look alright on me? I haven't tried it on for ages and I thought it looked a little too small" he timidly changes the subject, rubbing his bare arm and looking down. "You look good, more than good. Better than most of the blokes you'll see around here nowadays anyway!" she smiles, desperate to boost his confidence. Matt smirks saying he doesn't know about that but Georgina jokingly kicks his leg, telling him to stop thinking like that. "Sorry... I wonder what the sentence was. Rose or Daisy haven't got in touch, I just hope they got what they were hoping for." "He almost killed her, and it's not like it was even an accident. He'll be lucky if he gets out before he's his mothers age!" Georgina says, repeating she's telling him now that they'll get what they hope for. "I really do need some time away though, I just think it'll do me a world of good. Not necessarily away from the terrace, just out of the house" Georgina then admits

Liam is sat on Carlys bed because of the re-decoration in the spare room, the one he's currently residing in. "Silly question, but are you alright babe?" Carly asks, sitting on the corner of the bed as he tugs at the distinctive design of the sheet. "Maybe I overreacted a bit down there but I just didn't know how to react. After all the arguments recently it was so much easier when they stayed away... now they'll be staying away for good, but I'm not that happy." "Y-you, do you want to go with them?" Carly begins to worry as Liam rapidly puts his hands on her shoulders and looks into her eyes, saying he won't be going with them. "Good, I, just what you just said made me think-" "Carls my life is here now. It took a bit of adjusting, but Carissa and me are on alright terms now right? And I know it's going to be difficult when the baby does come but I want to go through it all, what sort of person would I be if I left you to do it all yourself?" "Your brave baby, so brave. And if I didn't have you, well I bet I would crack" Carly whispers, as Liam tries to speak but Carly speaks over him exclaiming she knows she would crack. Annie and Ted then come into the room, as Liam looks up to them with a neutral face. "Liam please. We don't-can't leave on bad terms, I just won't let it happen full stop" his dad explains as Annie stands partially behind him just nodding. "Where are you going then?" Liam asks in slight interest as Ted looks back at Annie. "The big city of London! Better work opportunities and a better way of life up there. It also helps that most of the family is up there. We've been thinking about it before all of this, not very much but before the pregnancy, we had the odd conversation about it" Ted continues as Annie then steps forward. "I, I'm still struggling to accept that your going to be a father, and the truth is I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to, but like your father said we shouldn't be leaving on bad terms. If Carly and the baby is what you REALLY want, then I'll have to deal with that. I still want us to have some form of contact, I just hope you do as well" Annie notions clinically.

Kat is sat in a run down bar somewhere in the area, sat at the bar as she plays around with the straw in her orange juice. "You look like you could do with a bit of a cheer up" a man randomly says to her as he asks for a pint. "I'm fine" Kat simply utters before asking the barman to watch her drink as she heads to the toilet. The barman serves someone on the opposite side, as the man takes a metal canister from his jacket pocket which contains alcohol, as he pours some into Kats orange juice. Kat then returns and sniffs in the drink in force of habit, before turning to face him. "Was this you? I can't believe you don't realise how distinctive the smell of that is." The man laughs, before taking out the canister and pouring some of it into an empty glass on the bar. He then drinks it, before saying there's nothing wrong with it and he only added a drop as it looked as if she needed to loosen up. Kat shakes her head, before staring at the drink, turning around and taking a sip guiltily. The Butterfields are walking down a street nearby to the terrace fresh from the court, slightly overwhelmed still over the result. "I saw Kat rushing out, I just hope she doesn't do anything stupid" Rose worries as the speed of their walking begins to slow down. "It's a big thing to take in, for everyone" Daisy replies as they see Georgina walking on the other side of the street. Daisy shouts her as Georgina smiles slightly before crossing the road. "Sorry I almost forgot, what happened at the court?" Georgina asks, sliding her hands in her jean pockets. "Got a minimum of 17 years" Rose reveals as Georgina nods in realisation, before hugging her friend and saying she isn't surprised. "You erm... you seem annoyed" Rose then points out with Georgina clearly wanting to get it off her chest. "I don't even know anymore. Nicks being really overprotective, offering me counselling and stress relief pills which both I refused and I, I left the house angry. That's just what he's like, I said this to Matt earlier but it's too much to handle at the moment" she explains, stressfully pushing back her hair. "Well if you need to, how about coming to stay with us two? For as long as you need" Daisy kindly suggests as Rose nods in agreement. "You know what, if you're sure I will" Georgina explains, as Daisy reassures her they are.

Ted and Annie are now about to leave, as they hug their son jointly, Carly watching on from the middle of the stairs using the wall to lean on. "Right, time to go?" Annie explains, trying to stop tears in her eyes as she kisses her son on the forehead telling him to look after himself, before hurrying out of the house. "And look after that one as well" Ted tells him referring to Carly, before putting his hand on his shoulder and leaving, promising him they'll keep in touch. Liam nods and watches them getting in the car, before shutting the door as the car engine is quietly heard staring up and the car is heard driving away. Carly comes down the stairs and hugs Liam as he clearly needs one as Carissa and Simon watch happily from the kitchen doorway, as she leans her head on his shoulder and he rubs her back. Autumn, Jeremiah and Maggie are now back at the house, as Autumn peers out of the blind watching out for Kat to return. Maggie suggests she sits down as she's doing herself no good. "What else am I supposed to do nan? What if these AA meetings aren't helping her out at all!" Autumn panics. It cuts back outside, as Kat stumbles down the terrace, her being drunk again, presumably to the man in the pub constantly supplying her with the alcohol. She uses the park railings to drag herself along. Rose, Daisy and Georgina are on their way back to the flats, where Rose says she hopes that isn't who she thinks it is before walking towards Kat. "Kat?" Rose questions. "A-Ah, look... look at who it is! The girl who got my husband banged up... the-then again, maybe I, maybe I should be applauding you!" she drunkenly slurs. "Kat, I think you should go home. Why have you got yourself in this state again?" Daisy asks as Rose takes a step back. Kat slaps her hand away as Daisy tries to help her home. "Maybe you should just leave the woman? She clearly doesn't want to listen" Georgina suggests but Daisy explains they can't just leave her. Kat then stumbles past the three girls demanding that they get out of her way as she pulls herself down the street. Kat then pulls herself up onto Noel Pucketts car which is outside the pub, as Rose rushes over to her shouting she needs to get down. Georgina tries to stop herself from laughing as she puts her head down as Daisy says she's going to get her family.

Kat is now dancing around on the car, jumping up and down on it causing it to move around. Noel and Lucinda then flood out of the pub as Noel shouts angrily at her to get off his car. "More, more, more... how do you like it? How do you like it?" she sings drunkenly to Noel before continuing to dance as Lucinda puts her head in her hands. This causes Noel to flip out his phone as he shouts for Kat to hear that he is calling the police. "No Noel!" Lucinda demands saying it wouldn't do any good. "Daisy's gone to get her family" Rose tells the couple. Daisy is frantically knocking on the door as Maggie comes out asking what's a matter. Daisy looks behind her so Maggie can see as she worriedly exclaims, "Kat? Oh god please no!" Maggie shouts before hurrying over. Maggie strictly screams at Kat to get off the car, as Kat looks at Maggie before immediately frowning and dragging herself of the car, but she pushes away Maggie's arm as well as she storms back over to the house. "Noel, I couldn't apologise enough! I'd understand if you wouldn't want to but please could we keep the police out of this?" Maggie begs as Rose and Georgina look at her with sympathy. Lucinda steps forward, kindly saying they won't be before suggesting she just gets back to Kat. "I wonder what all that is outside! Louis is asleep and ill go mad if it wakes him up" Gemma explains from inside her kitchen as Lewis comes through saying a drunken woman is on top of the pub owners car. "Honestly, some people need to be kept on a leash. Anyway I'm glad the job trial thing went well" Gemma smiles to him as Lewis puts some bread in the toaster for supper. "Never mind that. I'm just glad that the social visit went smoothly, I should have rearranged the trial for the job so I could have been here as well though" Lewis believes but Gemma wafts her hand, saying the social worker understood completely. "That's good then, I've never really been part of it before... I don't understand why the visits have been going on for so long?" "They took the abandonment claim very seriously. Anyway I'm happy and so is Louis so there's nothing bad to report from their side is there?" Gemma smiles. Gemma then gets up saying she's going to see if there's anything good on television, as he utters he ought to be getting back to his flat. "Alright, just beware of drunken women trying to steal your wallet!" she jokes before going into the living room as Lewis just smiles perkily.

Back at The Kelsalls, Kat is sat on the sofa holding a glass of water in one hand with the other firmly on her head as she groans. Outside the room, Kat hears Jeremiah and Autumn bickering with Autumn whispering angrily that she can't keep it in. Autumn storms into her room, before scrunching up her lips and shaking her head in disbelief at Kats state. "I KNEW this would happen, I KNEW it. That's why I was so desperate to stop you from running away from the court earlier. Looks as if the meetings haven't done much good at all then!" Autumn screeches, unable to project how furious she is. "Love I know how this looks, but it wasn't my fault. I thought I could handle a drop, but it just built up and there was this man... and he kept-" Maggie just shakes her head at Kats reasoning in the background as Autumn interrupts her loudly. "Shut up, SHUT UP! We've just been going around in circles since we first moved here haven't we? Never once have you wanted to change... and now you've scooped to antisocial behaviour! Both of my parents have just been out for number one, and both aren't cut out for having children. I don't want to look at you, speak to you, I want nothing to do with you anymore! Th-this is me cutting you out of life, for good" Autumn reveals, as Kat is left speechless while Jeremiah watches his sister with worry as she runs up the stairs. She rushes into her room and shuts the door, leaning back on it as she breathes in and out severely heavily, the camera focusing solely on her as the episode ends.

River is sweeping the kitchen floor at the crack of dawn, as she accidentally bumps into the chair just outside of the kitchen area, causing things to fall of it, including one of Robbie's dumbbells. This causes a large bang which leads to River gripping her eyes tightly and biting her lip in annoyance, as she quickly scurries everything back onto the chair before trying to continue cleaning. "Making a racket at this time of a morning? And cleaning now too! That must mark a new record" Stacey exclaims, River pulling the same annoyed face as when the things were knocked of the chair when hearing Stacey's voice. "It's only seven! I was expecting to last at least another hour in bed before the grating sound of a hoover was shoved at my bedroom door!" Stacey continues to explain as she shuffles through the shelf beside the door, asking quietly if she's saw her nail file. "Well I've always been the one who's kept this flat tidy, want that to change do you?" River interrogates as Stacey obsessively shakes her head, River saying she thought so. "And the only grating sound I can currently hear is your voice" River teases, putting emphasis on the word 'grating' as Stacey tries to speak over her. "Actually it's a good job I woke up this early. Forgot to wash my hair last night and with my split ends it's lucky it hasn't become a two man job yet!" she exclaims before complimenting River and claiming she always does a good job with the cleaning. Jason passes by Stacey as she heads into the bathroom as River wafts her hand to get his attention, telling him he can do her a favour and tidy up the things she dropped of the chair. "How much do those things weigh anyway?" River questions regarding the dumbbells. "Erm, 10lbs I think. Robbie's only a beginner, I'd say he was more of a lightweight!" he exclaims before going over to the sink. River demands that he's careful as her bottle of antidepressants are there and he holds his hands up defensively saying he was only going to the bin.

Gemma is at the pub on a shift, as Lucinda walks through questioning if everything's alright. "Not really, Louis kept me up for most of the night with a temperature, a little fever." "Did he feel any better this morning?" she asks as she begins bringing in crates of glasses. "I gave him a couple of mouthfuls of calpol and told Lewis to just let him rest, that should be alright shouldn't it?" she asks as if she isn't that sure it's what she should have done. "Yes, it should be. Louisa was the worst for that when she was a little mite I tell you. She always had on-and-off fevers and bugs during the colder months, the other two were fine most of the time. Anyway, you'll never guess what we had happen last night!" she explains as Gemma wants to know so she gives up guessing straight away. "Kat Kelsall, dancing on the top of our Renault Clio 4 is what. Out of it she was and Noel came close to calling the police." Gemma looks in surprise, saying Lewis mentioned something about her to it last night before being surprised at the police nearly being involved. "I stopped him because of the sentencing, with her husband going down for the attack and that. But I tell you now when she began singing Banararama's rendition of 'More, More, More' Noel was this close to bursting and I could see it in his face!" Lucinda explains as Gemma smirks to herself. Gemma then rubs the area of her lower abdomen, breathing out as Lucinda asks her if everything's alright in intrigue, Gemma leaning on the bar. "All fine its just a couple of stomach cramps I have from time to time, they pass after ten seconds or so it's just something I get through" Gemma says before getting back to her original structure as Lucinda whispers if she's sure and she tries to brush it off as she then goes and serves a customer, with Gemma clearly still having the stomach pains as she tries to not show that she's in pain with them.

Lucy comes through Harrisons living room where she sees him and Emma speaking about something in a secluded fashion. "Rosa-May seems to be settling well into her new primary school already, or so she claims. Takes after her mother on the confidence front!" she insists before getting out the only remaining box of cereal. "Let's hope she doesn't take after her on any other front" Emma murmurs under her breath as her and Harrison walk out of the kitchen, as Harrison slaps her cheekily causing her to grab her leg and chuckle boldly as she hurries up the stairs continuing to chuckle. Lucy then peers around the wall edge of the kitchen while taking the milk out of the fridge, sliding over to where Harrisons standing and asking if he and Emma were talking about anything interesting. "Doubt you would find it interesting, just about contacting the local planning authority so we can apply for planning permission. I've been wanting to expand the restaurant since moving out of the flat above it, just thinking about the business solely for once!" he insists. River is now wearing her typical wear of grey slim fit trousers and a blue and white shirt with minuscule polka dots covering it. "Why can't you just do the work here?" Jason questions to River who is gently putting some paper into her folder. "I can't believe you actually have to ask that Jase, I wouldn't be able to get anything done! It's only a few little notes on how I'm going to help plan a couple of lessons at the school next week, but there's other areas I ought to be concentrating on like the children's progression and their targets. It isn't an easy job I tell you now!" she insists as she puts her regular cardigan on. He says it doesn't sound like it as she says she'll only be at the cafe down the road. Jason then instantly speaks up after this persisting, "It'd probably be quiter in here than there." She laughs slightly and says no-where around there is louder than there flat before saying she won't be gone long and leaving. The camera then focuses on her antidepressant bottle beside the sink which she has accidentally left.

Harrison is working at the table as he takes out his reading glasses from their case, with Lucy walking in and joining him at the table causing him to make a practically unnoticeable sigh at her presence. "I realise you probably think I'm not interested, you know... in it all, but I am. I find it fascinating how you've built that place up from scratch, without barely any help either. A loyal workforce, and constant customers behind you as well. I want to work my way up to the top, in a few years time I want to be running my own salon not working there, making the teas and occasionally being able to add a bit of colouring or give someone a trim" she explains as he puts his paperwork to the side. "Well after the, the accident, and after leaving you and, well I needed to focus my mind on something... and don't forget the salon manager hasn't even gave you the job yet, or is there something you've not told us?" he asks, waiting for her to give an answer as she clocks on. "No, no they haven't called back yet, should so any day now though and I know it's not a definite yes but I doubt many others will be fighting for the chance to make tea, do you?" she asks with a little laugh as he puts his head down saying he supposes not before getting on with his paperwork. "Do you know how long it'll take to find out if your application has been accepted?" Lucy asks, shifting the conversation back to his planning permission. "Heard it could be as long as 8 weeks but I bloody well hope not, the sooner work can begin the better, there's no reason why they'd want to turn it down. Anyway I don't want you to take this the wrong way but I really need to get this work completed, I don't mind talking to you about this later if you wanted to though" Harrison tells her trying not to be rude, as she nods before gently saying she will leave him to it. Once she's outside the room, she lets of a devious stare before leaving the house as Harrison just gently shakes his head at Lucy before putting his reading glasses back down.

Gemma is still seemingly with the stomach cramps and she is annoyed as a gaunt man continues to urge her to give him another pint. "One minute mate!" Gemma insists, facing the opposite way as she continues to breath in and out. "Come on love I haven't got all day, got to be at work again by one and my boss won't be very happy, on me last warning!" the man pushes as Gemma turns around to face him shouting she said to just wait for a minute. The man then gets of the stool and goes back over to his table as Lucinda sees all the commotion. "Gemma get yourself back home and be with that son of yours, you clearly aren't in a correct state of mind to be working today so go on!" she urges. "Lucinda I would LOVE to if I'm telling the truth but my shifts not long started, and I need all the money I can get at the moment. Sometimes benefits just don't cover it all" she explains while wiping a glass, as Lucinda promises she'll be getting full pay. Gemma then quickly rushes out the counter as soon as she hears this, kissing Lucinda and saying she appreciates it. "Go on you, since when did you start getting soft!" Lucinda rhetorically asks as Gemma leaves. The man then lifts up his empty glass from the table as Lucinda utters that she'll bring it over. Moira then comes down from upstairs. "I don't think I can deal with Carb Barb bagging another top prize at the bingo, and the top one is three grand tonight! Someones winning three bloody grand Lucinda!" Moira explains in excitement as she collects empty glasses from surrounding tables. "That is a heck of a lot, but the main question on my lips is... well why is she called 'Carb Barb?'" "The title explains it all love, she's addicted to her carbohydrates that one, shovels it down I tell you. Only the other day me and Maggie saw her shovelling down there packets of jelly gumdrops when the second game of the night started, and that was before someone had even won a line" Moira exclaims as Lucinda laughs at her gossip. "Anyway, as Maggie's tied down with the Kat business I want you to be plus one, tonight at the bingo... and there's someone I'd like you to meet as well!" Moira insists.

Stacey is still up in the flat now washing the pots in the sink. She then goes and gets her bag from the sofa and brings it over to the side of the kitchen next to the sink and in front of Rivers antidepressant bottle. Jason questions on what she's doing as Stacey explains she needs to see how much money's in her purse, but she moves her bag up which knocks the antidepressant bottle into the sink. She then quickly takes the bottle but realises the lid was loose and has come of, and so all the pills are now in the dirty water. "Stacey what have you done?" Jason asks before finding the lid and flicking his hand to get the water off. Stacey then is about to say something but they are met with a cheery River returning. "I knew I had forgotten something but I never usually leave my medication" River smiles before stopping when seeing Stacey's bag where her medication was. "Where have you moved it to?" River asks but Jason moves to show the wet bottle. "It, it was an accident, the pills fell in the sink..." Stacey confesses as Rivers eyes fill with fury. Stacey continues her claim it wasn't done on purpose, as River shouts she should have just moved them out of the way instead of leaving them beside a sink with water in. "You never leave them out here anyway, why aren't they stashed away in your room like usual?" she bites back as River violently barges her out the way for her to go through the water for the pills, knocking Stacey of her feet and causing her to fall on her back. Jason quickly helps her up, telling River that was out of order as Stacey holds her upper back in pain. River takes her hands out of the water and wipes them on the tea towel, as Stacey says she hadn't even bothered to apologise for pushing her over. "I'm going to see if it's not too much trouble to get enough prescription from my GP, he might not even be able to get one to me straight away! And because of this the planning has also gone out the window!" she shouts in a build up of anger before walking out, as Jason and Stacey watch her leave.

"What's all this surprise business about them? Who's this special someone I need to meet?" Lucinda asks Moira as they walk down a corridor heading for the bingo hall. "Unless you really do mean a special someone, a fancy man if you will... do you mean in that way?" she asks in interest, excitement now evident in her tone as Moira tries to stop herself smirking. "All I'm saying is, I've been speaking to them for a couple of weeks now, and they make me very happy..." Moira reveals as Lucinda nudges her, saying she can't wait to meet the person now. The two of them walk through the double doors and are met by a packed hall. "Is it always like this?" Lucinda asks as Moira reluctantly nods. An elderly man sitting alone with a couple of spare chairs then calls Moira over, as Lucinda excitedly says she's presuming that's the lucky man before rolling over to the table using large hand gestures. "Walter, this my daughter-in-law Lucinda" Moira explains as Walter claims it's an absolute pleasure to meet her in the flesh. Rosa-May is back at the house fresh from school as she sits at the table doing some Maths homework. "She really is a polar opposite to her mother, I remember her telling me she was a train wreck at school, exclusions and the lot. Rosa-May isn't going to turn out anything like her if I have anything to do with it" Harrison whispers to Emma at the doorway. "Stop worrying, she evidently wants to get her head down." "Lucy was taking a proper interest in the business development earlier though and it took me by surprise a little. Talking about how and wanted to work her way up and run her own salon, just for a glimpse there I saw Lucy actually wanting to achieve something good. I can't fault her effort though because of her looking for jobs straight away, she just rarely comes across well and never really has done" he continues to explain. "Emma, can you help me with this question please?" Rosa-May then asks as she points at the bottom question on the sheet as Emma calmly says of course she can, before joining her at the table. Emma begins reading the question to herself. "It says I need to work out what you divide 3.2 by to get 0.8, the box is there but I don't know if I'm allowed a calculator or not" Rosa-May utters as Emma continues to help her in the background as Harrison just smiles genuinely.

Silence fills the bingo hall with Moira concentrated while Lucinda quietly asks Walter questions as neither are participating in the game. "I can't believe Moira hasn't mentioned you up until now, your such a charming man... so where are you and Moira at now then?" she questions as Moira shushes her, saying this is the big game. Walter is a little bit overwhelmed, but admits he isn't really sure where they are at. "Your mother-in-law is a very kind soul, it's what I like about her, just one of the many things, many many things" Walter insists as Moira shushes them again, this time louder. Moira then whispers excitedly that she only needs two more numbers for the jackpot as Walter says she's got to be joking. "So? I bet a ton of others only have one to go Moira, you have about this much chance of-" Lucinda is interrupted as Moira whispers at her to stop being so pessimistic. "One! One bloody number!" Moira shouts, capturing people's attention so she mimes that she's sorry. "You can do this Moira" Walter insists. The announcer then calls out number 23, as Moira rockets of her seat screaming 'Bingo' as Lucinda says she's got to be joking. "It's true, it's true!" she explains as people groan around her. "Another thing I like about her is that she always lights up a room - without fail" Walter whispers but Lucinda is so overwhelmed at her probable win. "Then again knowing our luck she's probably misheard a number, but I still don't believe it! She's probably won three grand, and I can't believe it!" Lucinda exclaims as Walter is just overcome with smiling. "That use of repetition clearly proves that" Walter laughs as the woman takes Moira's sheet to the announcer. A small scene then shows River stood outside the local doctors, with her hand shaking severely. She then walks through the automatic doors and brushes the hair out of her face.

Lucy comes through the front door also overbearing with excitement as Harrison asks her what she's so happy about, with Emma and Rosa-May looking up at her while still doing some of her homework. "I've been expecting a call from the salon manager all day and just when I was about to give up hope for the day, she rang me... and she gave me the job." Rosa-May congratulates her and so does Harrison with Emma just smiling. "It's great for her isn't it Emma?" Rosa-May repeats to her happily due to her lack of a reaction the first time as Emma is forced to say she's happy for her. "From what she's told me it isn't a bad wage for the types of tasks I'm going to be doing when I first start at the weekend, but it's a decent enough start right? Finally the bit of good news I was hoping for!" Lucy exclaims. It cuts to Gemma's home, as Lewis walks in and brings her a cup of tea, sitting on the main sofa with her. "This is just what I need after the day I've been dragged through. Louis with his temperature all night and this morning and then a pot bellied man demanding I get him another drink the second he sipped the last drop of his previous one" Gemma angrily releases. She then questions if he has to go back to his flat yet. "Your joking aren't you? It's not even like I'm part of a flat share or something along the lines of that so I have a bit of company, I live in a scrawny little flat all on my lonesome" he explains unfortunately. "Well I don't mind you staying here for a while, it's not like either of us have to be going anywhere is it and Louis is still sleeping... and hopefully it stays that way throughout the rest of the night." He checks that she's sure that she doesn't mind and she quickly nods saying she appreciates the company as well. A few seconds after this, Lewis pushes his body into hers in an attempt to try and kiss her causing her to quickly slip of the sofa out the way asking what he thinks he's trying. "Lewis we've been through this before not even that long ago! After you walking out on me I don't know how I'll be able to trust that you wouldn't do it again, you know this full well so I don't get your logic, I DONT get why you want to keep doing this when you know us two being in a relationship wouldn't work again!" she frustratedly explains before saying he should leave and storming out.

I regret that I haven't feedbacked in a long while.

I've really warmed to Lucy, she's been very well written, and is spectacular for your first bitch, I don't find her too panto, she's very natural and very character-led. I'm liking her relationship with the Fisher family, I sense trouble brewing with her and Harrison!

I really liked the bingo game with Lucinda, Moira and Walter, I loved Moira reaction to winning the bingo! Nice to see some happiness and bonding with Moira & Lucinda. I've warmed to Walter as well.

River Poor River, she's in a bunch of trouble, her scene with her chaos when Stacey knocked the pills into the sink was sad, very well written though, nice work with this story, it's very realistic and entertaining to read.

Gemma is sat at her kitchen putting Louis in his holder for him to eat his breakfast, when her phone pings from the side, as she peers over to see a text from Lucinda, wanting to know if Louis is feeling any better from his fever. Lewis then comes in from the back door, Gemma continuing the awkward atmosphere following him making a move on her again last night. "Come on Gemma, we can't carry on at loggerheads, can we? It was one stupid mistake." "That you made twice Lewis! I made it perfectly clear that I couldn't go back to what we had, I don't want to be looking over my shoulder constantly... worrying when your a couple of minutes late back from work that you've gone, I can't live like that. I've moved on and I, well it seemed like you had as well. We have a child together but that's as far it can go, we're friends, that's more than enough for me anyway!" Gemma insists before giving Louis his food and rubbing her sons back. She then leaves the kitchen quietly with a expression on her face to show she's not so definite about what she just said while Lewis throws himself onto the chair that's sticking out of the table. "What's your daddy like, eh? He needs to learn to use his ears more. I really did hurt your mum didn't I, and leaving her is always going to be something I regret for the rest of my life... the guilt hasn't faded away either, it's been constant" he utters, partly to himself, Louis taking no interest as he tries to stretch out his high chair. "Even your keen to get away from me son, it's like I have an illness or something!" he laughs, nudging his sons cheek who smiles and reaches out to his dad as Lewis cannot help but laugh at him, insisting he wants to but cannot give up on Gemma and his feelings for her. Upstairs, Gemma is now sat on the toilet. A trickling sound is heard as she urinates, however she scrunches up her face in pain and begins to look around the room and tap her leg to try and brush the pain off, but she cannot help but let out a sound to show she's in discomfort. The camera cuts to outside the shut door, as the gentle water is heard from the tap and the toilet chain is flushed, Gemma leaving the toilet with worry plastered all over her face.

Stacey is sulking in the corner shop while she's on another shift, as she prices some sections of drinks at the far left side of the store. "I can't wait for the day I finally get out of this place..." she utters to herself as she continues to adjust the drinks so they are alined in a formal arrangement. Jason then comes flooding in as Stacey turns her head and smiles when seeing him. "River said she'll catch me up, although I'm not sure she will actually do that what with the tension between you and her recently." "It was her. Shoving me over like that yesterday was completely out of order and she didn't even apologise after she just left in a huff to get some more of those flipping tablets!" she shouts, slamming the drinks down harder to bring out her anger. "I agree with you but what can we do anymore? She doesn't listen to our advice anymore, not that she ever really did but now her life, well it's based around her medication isn't it... we should have tried to stop it but it's too late." "How long is her course of them anyway? It must have been nearly a year at least. I'm not talking to her until I get an apology anyway" Stacey reiterates as Jason sarcastically wishes her luck before going to get a shopping basket. "Anyway I heard some small talk last night from my room when I was trying to sleep... two girls" Jason explains, walking back up to her. Stacey explains it was Scarlet popping in to give back a CD she borrowed. River comes through the door and sighs when seeing Stacey, going to get a drink but igniting her. "Anything to say?" Stacey questions as River stands there not looking at her with a frustrated face before she turns to face her as Jason shakes his head knowing what's going to happen. "I hope you aren't expecting me to say sorry because, well if so you can think again. My GP wasn't best pleased I had lost practically a whole bottle of my medication, but of course you wouldn't care about that." Jason tries to interrupt but he's outspoken by Stacey, causing him to timidly nod and go back to shopping. "I don't know how many times I can say this with a straight face, it was a-" "An accident yes you keep saying, but how am I supposed to know you aren't lying to cover your back?" River boldly interrupts. Jason quietly speaks up again saying he saw it and she didn't do it on purpose causing River to put the drink back and leave the shop furiously.

'MKTO - Classic' is playing on the radio in The Pucketts kitchen, which Elisha and Matt are sat in. "Do we have to listen to this? It sounds like it belongs on an old Disney Film soundtrack!" Matt jokes as Elisha purposefully turns it up a tad, saying she loves this song. "I still can't believe it you know, your gran winning three grand last night, three whole grand!" Lucinda exclaims in shock. "Well I reckon we did enough celebrating to last a lifetime" Elisha insists excitedly as Matt says he's going to be asking for a whole load of loans in distant future jokingly. "Grans as tight as a flys backside, you'll be lucky if you can squeeze a tenner out of her for a spot of lunch..." Elisha laughs. Elisha then gets up holding a bit of her toast as she leaves the room, as Lucinda remembers something and taps Matts hand to get his attention, saying Moira wants everybody downstairs that evening as she has somebody she wants to introduce. It cuts to Moira with Walter, the man she's been speaking to at bingo with the two of them sat in the park across the road of the terraced houses with them sat on one of the worn down oak benches. "So what do you think then? About meeting the rest of my lot later?" Moira asks him. "Hmm, oh, well... I don't really know what to make of it. Lucinda was quite a character, but lovely all the same... give me a run down?" he pleads. "I've spoken about them all before, haven't I? Anyway there's my two grandkids - Elisha and Matt. Elisha's on-and-off with a guy, a guy who's been around the block a few times but they're good together all the same. Matts had his troubles this year, oh goodness I don't think I've even told you. His girlfriend, Jia-Li, she died a few months ago... in a car accident" she explains with a large sigh to follow as he says he's very sorry to hear that. "He's still struggling but you know he is trying. And there's my son Noel. Don't get worried, but be prepared. I know it was fifteen years ago since his dad, my husband, died but I've never, I've never spoken to someone in the way I am to you since his passing so, I'm not sure of the way he's going to react" Moira explains to him as he nods in understanding. "I'll try my hardest with all your family, although I do have a tendency to make a situation awkward. My mother always use to tell me I was like it as a child as well, follows me around like a bad smell you see..." Walter explains with a small laugh, before questioning what exactly the two of them's status is. "Your a lovely man Walter, and I enjoy your company, we shouldn't need a status. Oh and there's my other grandchild as well, Louisa, but she's up in London living her a life at a big pharmacy, something like that. She visits as often as her busy schedule allows her to though!" Moira explains.

Lucinda is now at Gemma's house as Gemma passes her a mug of tea, Lucinda thanking her as she quickly puts it down because it is burning her fingers. "Lewis took his son out for a couple of hours which I appreciate, the atmosphere has been awkward ever since he stupidly made ANOTHER move on me. Honestly I don't know why he does it, and I don't want to keep going over it again and again. What if he tries it on again, eh?" she offloads to Lucinda who isn't sure of what to say. "From what you've told me I doubt he'd try again. Once is enough but twice, he's really taking the biscuit isn't he. But if you've made it clear it ain't going to happen...." "But I did that the first time round! I know Louis is his priority and it was difficult at first but he's really fitted back into his life, but just because he has his son now it doesn't mean I want to be a family or something, besides am I really suited to that?" Lucinda just shrugs her shoulders, before asking if she's still getting her stomach pains. "I, there's something I need to talk to you about. I wasn't sure if to bring it up but it's on my mind now and." Gemma then suddenly stops and Lucinda explains she's worrying her already. "Earlier on when Lewis first came round... well I was having a wee and, and it was painful. Like a constant pain that wouldn't go, but it stopped straight away when I had finished. Matching that with the stomach pains, well I'm just a little concerned it's something bigger that's all" Gemma opens up, her hands gripped around her mug as Lucinda listens worriedly. "Love, didn't you mention the stomach pains had been going on for a couple of weeks now? An-and was it a serious pain?" she asks as Gemma nods, opening up further and explaining she didn't know what to do. "It's up to you isn't it and I can't decide for you. I'd go to my GP but then again it could just be simple stomach pains and the, the pain while urinating... could be nothing." "I shouldn't worry yet. I think I should leave it any longer, maybe your right and maybe it was a one-off. I didn't tell Lewis about it for obvious reasons." Lucinda then surprises her friend by suggesting she does talk to Lewis about it. "What? After the move on me?" "I'm sure he realises he made a mistake and wants to make it up as much as you do." Gemma asks her when she actually said she wanted to make it up as Lucinda smirks, saying it's fairly obvious. "He'll want to listen and give you his take on it, but I mean it! Tell me the minute it happens again and that's if it even does and I'll come with you to your GP, I'll be there with you if you need" Lucinda smiles supportably.

Jason hurries into the flat with some shopping bags, shouting out for River if she can give him a hand putting all the shopping into the cupboard and the fridge. He shouts her name as he pulls the bags onto the middle kitchen desktop before realising she may not be in, so he goes down the corridor and into her room at the end where he sees River sat at the end of her bed. "Didn't you hear me shouting you? Come and give me a hand will you? I mean I don't even know where everything goes." "ALWAYS ME ISNT IT? The weekly shop, the cleaning and tidying up after you lot, the rent which I pay most to. Split between the four of us? Jason you don't even have a secure job! And Robbie's only just got his back!" she screeches as he shakes his head in annoyance. "What?" she shouts, seeing his shaking of his head. "I've been saying it all the time, it's happening all the time and it's like you can't even see it" he utters, unable to look at her. "Can't see what? Tell me what your on about!" she demands, standing up of her bed. "Like I told you when we were on holiday in July, the antidepressants are no good for you! But you brushed it off and got annoyed at me even though everybody knows I'm right. The constant rows and arguments, most of them have been based around you and why do you think that is? Because those pills have taken over your head that is why River!" he shouts back, walking over to her desk and picking up the new prescribed bottle. "No they haven't, they haven't at all. This is you lot, pinning the blame on the pills. The reason I'm constantly arguing is because no-one else ever fights my side of the battle, and don't deny it because it's the truth, THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. And put those down" she demands, as he holds the bottle still in his hand. "No, I refuse to accept it. We're going around in circles and I've had enough of it, they've messed everything up. They don't help you and I've read about it before, y-you know there's rare cases where they actually make your condition worst!" he explains trying to reason with her but she's still having none of it. "We are going around in circles, and that's why I'm leaving. I've thought about it today and I can't live here, live here with people that seem to be constantly against me when all I do is act like the backbone of this group. I'm sick of it. My course stops in a couple of months, but they've helped me! Really really helped me and I can't believe you can't see this." Jason just shakes his head again, before swinging open the doors to her wardrobe causing her to storm around the side of her bed and begin pulling at his t-shirt screeching at him to stop as he goes through her things.

Robbie is above The Royal Hart sprawled out on the main sofa, while Elisha is in the bathroom as the water trickles into it. "How about I come in with you?" Robbie flirtatiously hints as he then suddenly appears at the door. "How about you jog on!" she replies, before they kiss and she rubs his chest, him telling her it'll be fun. "Well now I think more about it..." she trails on, as they snog passionately again. Outside the pub, Moira and Walter are standing ready to go on. "Don't you think they are gonna want, well answers? I know you don't want us to have a 'status' but I think most people will assume, you know?" Walter worries. "I don't need to go into depth about it, I just thought it'd be nice if they met you early on incase things do develop. Love Im not good at the serious stuff, I've been through it all I know and through all my experience you'd think I would be tough as nails. I suppose I can be if I wanted to be but you know, I prefer to stay relaxed." He simply nods and he says he'll go in after her and so she does so. "There you are! Go on then, who is it you want to introduce us to?" Noel asks with a quite mardy tone. "Everybody... I'd like you to meet Walter" she explains as he appears in the doorway. "I'll leave you to all introduce one another, I'll just go and fetch Elisha. Matt I thought I told you to tell her to be down here tonight?" she complains before going up the stairs. Noel shakes Walters hand, questioning if he's an old acquaintance causing Walter to look at Moira awkwardly. "Yeah how do you know one another?" Matt cheekily implies, leaning over the bar as Noel nudges him. "I'm just going to come out and say this because it'll be better in the long run. We're more than friends, alright you two? I know it may be hard to believe but it's still early days so" she just stops mid-sentence before smiling at Walter, Noels face quickly dropping. "And I think that's my queue to get back to work!" Matt exclaims as Walter looks down and Moira shakes her head at Noel who says he needs to as well.

Jason now has Rivers suitcase out on her bed and he's throwing her clothes which have been neatly hung up carelessly into the suitcase. "Jason stop, PLEASE STOP! Are you trying to cause me to have a breakdown or something?" she desperately pleads, trying to grab him as well as taking the clothes out of the suitcase. Jason then realises how much he's upsetting her and he stops. "Well it's what you want clearly, to leave everything you have here behind. The pills, it's the pills talking. That fun River we had, yes she had her serious moments but she also knew how to loosen up. This isn't you! You hate us going to clubs now, and I can't remember the last time you actually had a laugh with the three of us." "Well maybe I've learnt to grow up." "Re-remember when your mum came to visit you earlier in the year? A few weeks after the crash? And you told her about how you didn't want her obsessiveness to rub off on you, and how you stuck up for us. Do I think you'd still be doing the same if she came again? I don't even know" Jason sighs. "Don't bring that woman into it, she hasn't spoken to me since that event and I'm glad. I just don't think I can live here anymore, you think I'm not the same person anymore? Well I think the same about all of you." He says she's living in a dreamland so River just boldly tilts her head to the side, before asking him to get out. He does so without a fight as she begins to take her clothes out the suitcase but she begins to get frustrated as she twists one of t-shirts around in her hand as tears well up in her eyes before she throws the clothing back into the suitcase. Elisha and Robbie are both now out of the bath, both in towels to cover their modesty. "I knew you wouldn't have been able to resist my offer" Robbie smirks. Lucinda is looking around upstairs for Elisha while Elisha begins jokingly pulling at Robbie's towel that goes from just below his belly button to his knees as he smirks and tells her to stop. "Where the hell has that girl got to?" Lucinda whispers to herself. She then hears laughing from the bathroom so she walks slowly to the door and as she walks in, Elisha pulls the towel of Robbie causing Lucinda to see him naked. Elisha quickly shouts at her to get out as Robbie gets the towel back in embarrassment, as Lucinda walks away laughing to herself with a bit of confusion.

Lewis is sat on Gemmas sofa as she walks through and sits on the armchair, before leaning forward on it and saying she wants them to be friends. "I didn't realise we weren't?" Lewis laughs as Gemma says he knows what she means. "Something Lucinda said just made me realise it that's all. I know your aware that you made a mistake and I hope you wouldn't do it again, we can't carry on this awkward atmosphere for ever anyway!" she insists. "Of course we can't. Anyway is everything alright? You and Lucinda looked in pretty deep conversation when I got back earlier" he explains as she thinks about what she's going to say for a moment, wondering whether to tell him about her recent pain. "Oh it was nothing. She had to rush off for family matters anyway, just about a few extra shifts at the pub" Gemma lies before smiling and leaving, then sighing outside the room. Noel is down in the cellar of the pub stacking up some cardboard boxes as footsteps are heard. He turns around but when he sees it is Moira he turns back and continues stacking. "You can stop doing that right now and listen" she demands as he does so, his arms folded firmly. "I understand it must be difficult to see me with another man in this way, it's the first time since your dad passed away all those years ago I know but I've managed to move on from that. I don't want to grow old alone, simple as that son... Walter and this whole load of fresh cash in my back pocket, it's the happiest I've been in a while." "That isn't the reason mam. I know you aren't going to like this but I have to say it, I just have to. I, I just feel like this Walter guy, are you sure he isn't just interested in you because of the bingo win?" he asks with some worry as she looks in utter outrage. "I can't believe you'd even think about that son! He's a good man, an honest and kind one to add to that as well and we've been speaking for weeks, his interest hasn't just suddenly perked up because of the money! And the reason I haven't told any of you in these weeks is because I knew this would happen, and we're only just starting to get to know each other properly. This is happening Noel whether you like it or not, so get use to it!" Moira demands before leaving the cellar.

The episode begins at lunchtime, with Gemma doing a joint shift at The Royal Hart with Nick. "And it's not that I don't like working here because I do, it's just what with Georgina and her moving out to stay with those fruit loop twins im struggling. I get they're her friends but they just seem quite, cut of from it all and she is my little sister, after what she's gone through I have every right to be wanting to watch her every move and give her some support. I just thought it would have been best to cut down the shifts I do here... and besides, it enables your shifts to be increased and so more money will be coming your way. Am I genius or not?" Nick rambles on with Gemma not paying much attention. "I'll be honest with you Nick, I switched of at the end of fruit-loop," Gemma insists, patting his back as she slips behind him to get something. "Well what I was saying is..." "Nick, do you mind if you tell me this later? I really need to go to the bathroom and I have to be honest, I think Georgina's had a lucky escape!" she exclaims, saying the last part jokingly as he points vigorously at her, exclaiming he knew she was listening really. Lucinda comes out to the bar area with a towel around her hands asking Nick where Gemmas gone, him casually explaining she needed the toilet with his laugh now faded, as she pulls a distracted face before glancing at the door of the ladies toilets. "Well she better not be too long, we're paying her to serve people and constantly slipping of to the toilet isn't going to keep the business afloat," Noel complains as he joins Lucinda and Nick. It then shows River in her bedroom packing up the rest of her belongings, peering at a small photo of her and Stacey she has always kept in the small laced holder on the interior roof of the suitcase. She doesn't take it out she just looks at it and sighs. It then shows Stacey, Jason and Robbie sitting in the pub together. "I got up at the crack of dawn this morning and River was still asleep, had a half packed suitcase on the middle of her carpet. I really regret what I did last night, distressing her like that and saying if she was so desperate to move out then I shouldn't be one to stop her," Jason relives to them. Robbie insists she probably won't really be going, but Jason says he agrees but he needs to make sure before taking the flat keys of the table and leaving the pub.

In Pizza Express, Hanna is serving someone with a few customers behind them. "I always love coming into this place, the employees constantly withholding a grin on their face and the manager always makes time for his customers as well" the woman Hanna is serving politely insists as in the background the man behind her rolls his eyes, although this is hardly noticeable. "Doesn't he just," Hanna repeats back to her, a slightly fake undertone there because of the referral to Harrison who shes still on bad terms with. "It's always busy at this time of a day, it's like as soon as the clock turns to twelve people rush out their houses to get here, don't you think?" Emma pesters to Harrison as he puts pizzas in the oven with chips frying close by. "Well I don't think it'd be right if we had a long row of customers out the door in the morning, considering this is a pizza place were hardly specialising in breakfast," Harrison acknowledges with a small break down of a laugh in his dialogue. Emma's face then drops a little as she asks him if him and Hanna have sorted things out yet. "We barely speak, except from when I'm giving her her wages at the end of the week and even that's as brief as she can possibly make it. I don't blame her, it's just revelation after revelation for her. First about you and your involvement in the secrecy of your dad and then all this with Lucy and why I left her and Rosa-May, but at least now EVERYTHING is out in the open, there's nothing else there and I don't think Hanna would tell anyone else no matter how angry she may be." "Me neither. Do you really believe Lucy did it by accident though, just a slip of the tongue?" Emma then asks as Harrison reaffirms he isn't sure what to believe even though Lucy is fully capable of stirring things up. "Well we both know I've never once trusted her and for good reason, but I've always been prepared to try and be civil with her for Rosa-May," Emma insists as Harrison says he isn't concentrating on Lucy anyway, he just wants to focus on sorting things out with Hanna. "I doubt she'll want to throw away the closeness you two have over this, and hey she hasn't packed in the job so there must be some part of her that wants to sort things out surely, just try and keep patient babe and things will fall back into place, you just watch," Emma insists trying to lift the mood.

Jason walks back into the flat and is clearly disappointed as he sees now zipped up suitcases outside Rivers room. She appears behind them as Jason quickly walks over desperate to reason. "River come on, how stupid is this? What I said to you last night was just... a heat of the moment thing, I didn't mean it!" Jason insists but it seems as if River had already made up her mind. "Well I meant what I said, I refuse to live with people that blame my medication, something that's actually helping me, on my behaviour - which may I reiterate hasn't changed. Anyway I'm not going over this with you again, I think leaving is the best thing for me." "What about your job? Packed that in as well have you?" he asks as River lies and says she has. He then asks where she's planning on staying, and she says her sister Rosie. "I'm not letting you go, River how long have the four of us been friends? And you and Stacey, best friends since you were had ribbon in your hair and played hop-skotch you always say," River insists. "Yes, the latter of which being something Stacey would still do now, sober or otherwise" River replies as Jason smirks. "Anyway I've made up mind, I need to go" she boldly confirms before walking back into her room with a more unsure expression on her face. Gemma and Lucinda are now talking behind the bar of the pub, Lucinda questioning on whether or not her symptoms are continuing. "I, I rang the doctors earlier, that's why I went to the toilet. The urinating pains haven't happened again but the stomach pains were still there when I first got up this morning, it's constantly on my mind now and so I need to talk to my GP about it. Lucinda I'm a tough cookie, always have tried to be but part of me is scared that this is something serious." Lucinda says she's probably getting herself worked up over nothing but it's good to check anyway. "So is alright to get off early, I was fitted in at three and my shift here doesn't finish to half an hour after that, you don't mind do you?" she asks as Lucinda says of course not, explaining she can deal with Noel if he kicks up a fuss. "And I think we all know that's his forte. Honestly, I feel like his mother most of the time rather than his wife, he'll snap into a stroppy kid in a flash if needs be," Lucinda explains. "Well he must be annoyed, two failed business partners! One was a psychopath who's dead and the others in prison for attempted murder, he really does know how to pick em," Gemma says as Lucinda looks in surprise, admitting she never thought about that.

Nick opens the door to his home shouting for Estelle, as Georgina appears from the kitchen smiling slightly and explaining shes at the pharmacy. "Georgina? Are you back properly?" he asks with excitement as she nods, causing him to hug her tightly and pull her off her feet as she laughs telling him to let her go. "I, I made mistakes by smothering you with support but it's just what I'm like isn't it? If someone came into the pharmacy needing some athletes foot powder I'd probably end up putting it on for them with a bit of persuasion," he compares. "Yes, the bad thing is you probably would! But I've gotten use to it, and I wouldn't want you to change. I love the twins but I have to be honest, I don't think I'd be able to live with them on a permanent basis. I'd end up smothering myself with one of their bright pink swirly fur cushions!" she laughs. "Well it's fantastic to have you back where you belong anyway, and the boys have missed you as well. I'm sure they're growing every single day, and a noticeable growth as well... come up and see them," Nick insists. "Thankyou," she utters, turning a blind eye to his last sentence as he pauses on the bottom stair, peering around and asking what for. "For, for not bringing him up," she says, meaning Jacob, as he rubs her back saying she doesn't need to thank him before they go up the stairs continuing to have a normal conversation. At Leisure Life, Simon is repeatedly clicking at the reception computer with a frustrated look on his face. Carissa comes to the front asking what's happened, before she loudly yawns and wipes her eye tiredly. "The membership data isn't loading up properly, the computers on the verge of an early death by the looks of things," Simon complains as Carissa puts her head in her hands before saying that's all they need, her hands partially covering her mouth so what she said is unclear. "You'll have to speak up a bit love, didn't hear a word of that," Simon says straight up, his eyes focused on the computer. "I said its all we need! Something's up with one of the treadmills in the gym, the running belts the centre of the issue I believe but I don't know much else, your much better at all that stuff." "What is it with this week? First the washing machine back at home conks out because of a leakage and now all these problems at this place. I'll take a look at the treadmill and you with this, swap jobs?" he insists as she smirks saying he's never been any use with technology anyway. "Oi, just because I didn't hear one of your comments doesn't mean I can't hear any of them, a technology wiz is me," he insists with Carissa nodding in a fake way murmuring 'alright' under her breath making out like she believes him.

Jason hurries back into The Royal Hart with Stacey and Robbie instantly seeing him as Robbie asks what's going on with River. "I can't talk her out of it, Stacey you have a go at it!" Jason pleads. "No chance in hell, she's made her bed so she can lie in it. If she's so fixed on going then who are we to stop her?" "Stacey think about it, you've been best friends since you were little, you moved to another country together away from your families," Jason fights back. "Hardly a move across from the other side of the world. I don't want her to go but maybe it would be best? She isn't happy and we all know it's down to that flipping medication but she can't see it and I don't think she ever will. We aren't as close as we used to be, drifted. I'm not stopping her and I don't think you should either," Stacey insists as Robbie looks down in disappointment. "Your wrong Stace. Part of what she said is right, she does mollycoddle us and look after us and if she went it wouldn't be the same, like when you left Robbie. We thought it was best and in the long run its turned out it was but we all missed you, much more than you think and than we showed when you turned up at our holiday. I'm not giving up yet," Jason declares as Stacey shakes her head in disagreement as he leaves. "I'm gonna go with him, I don't want her to leave us," Robbie speaks up as Stacey sits firm as he leaves, sipping her drink. Hanna is about to leave as its the end of her shift at Pizza Express but Harrison puts his hand on her coat as she's about to remove it from the hanger. "I can't let you leave until we've spoken, Hanna I'm not letting us fall out over this," Harrison tells her. "Gonna lock the doors are you? Or maybe you'll take the more complicated option and try and kill me with your car like you did Lucy?" she suggests venomously causing him to look in shame. "So-sorry, that was uncalled for," Hanna then says as Harrison stops her from leaving. "It's understandable for you to be like that with me, but you've saw what Lucy can be like, and I don't blame Emma for thinking she told you about the car accident on purpose. Hanna I get I should have told you when you overheard about Emma and her dad but I didn't want to add to the shock you had, I'm sorry. I don't want to let this ruin everything, you've been a good friend to me and I hope it's the same the other way around," Harrison says as Hanna looks on unsure.

Gemma is sat in the doctors waiting room looking around at people with bad coughs and ear pains, before she looks up at the electronic board that comes up with names and the GPs. It comes up with Gemma and so she heads through the doors to the doctors rooms, where she stops at one and knocks on it where they tell her to come in. "Right then Gemma, what is thats bothering you?" he asks as she sits composed trying to think of the right words. "I've been having stomach pains for a couple of weeks now, they felt like they were in the lower area, really constant. I was hoping it was something that would pass off but it really isn't, and I've tried to ignore it but yesterday something else happened. A pain when I, when I was... urinating. I don't know how to describe it, but it hurt a lot and, and that worried me a lot more." "And what this urination pain a one-off? Has it occurred before from what you can remember, no matter how insignificant the pain may have been... recently?" her GP then asks. "No, not from what I can remember. No, actually NO I'm certain it was the first time, it was so out of the blue!" Gemma insists. "Right I understand. Now I don't want you to panic further when I ask you this Gemma but it's important you answer as accurately as possible... have you had unprotected sex recently?" he comes out with as she pulls a confused face, before realising its serious as her GP tells her to take her time. "Earlier on in the year, a-and late last year yes - wi-with numerous men," she confesses embarrassingly regarding her prostitution, although she doesn't actually bring that up. "And you say these pains have only just started to come by, right," the GP repeats as Gemma confirms it again while he begins searching for something. "This is a number for the nearest sexual health clinic. Now again you don't need to panic because nothing's confirmed yet, I just worry that the symptoms you described may be linked, along with the numerous unprotected sex events like you explained. I'll book an appointment there for you for as soon as possible." "Sexual health clinic? W-what type of STD are these symptoms pointing to?" she worries as her GP firmly says chlamydia. Gemma looks in surprise as he has to repeat that she shouldn't be worrying yet.

Jason and Robbie rush back into the flat, where Jason instantly sees that Rivers floral suitcases aren't where they were earlier and so he says she can't have left without telling them. "What do you mean?" Robbie asks after hearing him saying this under his breath. They turn up at Rivers room and she isn't there either, and he looks under the bed and in her wardrobe and neither are her suitcases. "She's gone, how could she? She's gone without a goodbye!" Jason shouts as Robbie looks in surprise. Jason then walks out the flat and down the stairs, with Robbie shutting the flat door and running after him. "Jason where are you going mate?" Robbie shouts but Jason ignores him, putting his phone to his ear trying to ring River as he heads down the business street. "Is she answering?" Robbie then asks but Jason ignores that as well but Robbie realised she isn't as Jason stops the ringing. Jason pushes his way into Scarlet and Joel's antique shop who are kissing, but stop and smile when seeing Jason. "Have you saw River, or has she got in touch with you today at all?" Jason pushes. "Lovely to see you as well! But no, why is everything alright with her?" Scarlet asks. Jason nods and leaves the shop as Robbie smiles at them before following him again. It cuts to Rivers hand shown holding her phone as Jason's contact comes up with him ringing her up again. It then shows her to be sat on one of the benches behind the block of flats, as she stops the call before looking up in the air with tears down her face that haven't been wiped away. It cuts back to Scarlet and Joel at the antiques shop as Scarlet adjusts some of the showings in one of the front windows. "Jason seemed pretty cut up, do you think Rivers done something to upset him?" Scarlet wonders. "If that was the case then Jason wouldn't be looking for her, it'd be the other way around you silly mare," Joel replies. "Either way maybe we should go after him and see if everything's alright," Scarlet wonders once again but he puts his hands on her shoulders causing her to stand up straight, enabling him to put his hands gently around her stomach and kiss her at the side of her head saying he thinks they should just mind their own business. "Always know best don't ya," Scarlet laughs.

It's now evening and Emma, Harrison and Lucy are sat in the busy pub. "So how is your new salon job going? I don't think I've even asked you about it properly," Emma asks Lucy with Harrison surprised she's starting the conversation. "Brilliant, thanks for asking. Settled in really well and you know, it's just enough for me," Lucy insists as Emma smiles saying that's good. "I do hope Rosa-May will be alright though, it's positive that she's making friends already at her new school but she's never been to a sleepover before!" Lucy worries as Emma sadistically says there's plenty more to come as she gets older. "I wonder when Hanna's getting here," Harrison says trying to break the awkwardness, before turning to the wall beside him and saying he hopes she's get there soon in an extremely quiet voice. Hanna then comes in straight after and smiles briefly at Harrison and Emma. "I hope things won't be awkward between me and her after those problems the other week," Lucy says as Harrison lies it probably won't. Back at Leisure Life, Simon is kneeled down beside the treadmill belt as he continuously pulls it downwards where some debris comes out, a towel and some cleaner beside him. "It always takes you hours to fix things, how much longer will it take eh?" Carissa asks as she walks into the gym. "I've done it I think, some debris had built up inside the belt but I've got it all out now, may take some time but at least I get it done," Simon points out. "I've sorted out the membership faults as well thankyou very much. You'd have thought we'd have learnt which jobs we suit by now though," Carissa laughs. "Well that doesn't matter, but I told you getting me more involved in the business would pay of. Without me you'd be shipping out a load of cash for things to be fixed." "Like when we got a man in the other week, because you couldn't stop the leakage on the washing machine?" Carissa brings up as Simon laughs embarrassingly. "I'll get home anyway because Carly and Liam will be wondering where we are, and Carly gets rowdy when it isn't handed to her on a plate. I thought it may have got easier now she's pregnant but it's got worst!" Carissa insists. "Still strange to think about though isn't it, that our daughters being thrown into the adult world already, with a baby of her own. That's why I want us to fit in as much time as possible for us alone, when that baby's born it'll be babysitting duties all round" Simon says.

Lucy is now sat on a stool at the bar with no-one else around her waiting to be served. Moira and Noel then walk in and are clearly bickering over something, which Lucy tries to listen in on. "I've told you Noel, the money I won and the reason Walter is interested have no connection, none at all and I told you that you need to get that assumption out of your head, although it's no surprise you decided to push that to the back of your mind," Moira whispers. "Mum I know you said that but I can't help but match them, it's just what I believe and you can't change that, how much do you actually know about him anyway? And where is that money?" he bombards her with questions with Lucy still trying and succeeding in hearing bits of what they are saying. She's heard Noel ask Moira where the money is, and she turns around properly so Lucy can no longer hear (although they weren't aware in the first place of Lucys eavesdropping.) Lucy sees Moira point to the cabinet of stacked glasses, where Lucy sees a red box. She puts two and two together and realises that's where the money is, before looking on with a wondrous expression. Hanna is still sat with Emma and Harrison, as Harrison tells her he's glad they've managed to sort things out. "Well we couldn't carry on like that forever," Hanna bluntly replies. It then displays Gemma standing outside her front door as she breathes in largely before going up and opening her door. Lewis looks back while sitting in the living room after hearing the door go as she shouts at Gemma asking if that's her, where she shouts back it is. She then walks in asking who else he thinks it could have been. "Dunno actually. Louis is fast asleep anyway so ill get off, what was the thing you had to go for after your shift at the pub though?" he asks suspiciously as she glances at him and normally lies Lucinda took her shopping as a treat for her doing some overtime the other day. "That was nice of her," he says with the suspicion now faded. "And I'll be getting a few extra shifts there as well now Nicks cut his down a tad, things are finally on the up," she lies greatly, her gritting her teeth after the end part. He says he'll see her tomorrow and he leaves, as Gemma turns around, slips her flats of and drags herself into the kitchen sighing.

River is shown still sat on the bench, cold as she shivers, but she takes her antidepressants out the bottle and pours more than her required dose into her hand. She puts some back into the bottle carefully but sighs, and pours them back out again. She swallows all of them, causing the camera to immediately cut to a further away view of her sat there alone. Stacey is still in the pub having been in there most of the day as Robbie and Jason come back in and sigh when seeing how drunk she is. "Find her?" Stacey asks, trying to make the conversation as simple as possible to cover up how drunk she is. "I've rang her three times and no answer, and all her belongings have gone. She didn't even say a goodbye and we don't have an address for her sister either." "Your drunk," Robbie then says, cutting of Jasons worries over River as Stacey gets out the booth, saying he's wrong. She then grabs her bag and swipes it purposely across the table causing glasses to smash everywhere. "Stace!" Robbie shouts in annoyance as Noel and Moira leave the bar area as Noel insists it would be best if she just want. Lucy gets of the stool and notices everybody's focus on Stacey, who's still playing up and refusing to leave. She goes over to the glass cabinet and sees the red box, before peering over at everything. "I need this," she simply says before slipping the red box of money into her bag. "Harrison, Rosa-Mays on the phone! I'll be back at home!" Lucy shouts over at Harrison as he says tell her hello from him. Other people begin getting up and leaving while Robbie forces Stacey out. Moira then goes back around to get a bin, but when peering over to see the red box she realises it isn't there. She looks in horror as she moves glasses out the way and sees the box still isn't there. She looks all across the counter and shelves behind the bar, before standing up in shock. Noel comes around the bar saying she looks shocked about something. "The red box with the money I won in, it's gone! Someones stolen my money!" she exclaims to him. Back at Harrison and Emmas, Lucy is sat cross-legged on her bed with the red box in front of her as she goes through the cash counting it up, a smile growing on her face.
