OPENING TITLES
We’ll Be A Dream- We The Kings plays over the opening montage.
Jason sits in his bedroom, his hand swollen. Robbie strolls into his bedroom and gasps as he notices Jason’s hand.
“What happened Jase?” Robbie asks. Jason shrugs it off, claiming he was working on a car and the bonnet fell on his hand.
Lachlan kisses a brunette girl before pushing her onto his bed and pulling his shirt over his head. He pulls his jeans down before pouncing onto the bed, kissing the girl. They both disappear under the covers.
Grace sits in the hospital bed, alone, staring out of the hospital window gloomily. Trevor strolls into the room and her mood changes immediately.
“Alright, babe?” Trevor asks. He leans in and kisses Grace’s lips.
“I’m fine,” she replies, forcing a smile. Trevor nods, not entirely convinced.
Porsche strolls into the McQueen house and smiles at Theresa.
“Good afternoon,” Porsche smiles. Nana hobbles out from the kitchen and sighs as she sees Porsche.
“What does she want?” Nana spits. Theresa shrugs her shoulders.
“Please,” Porsche begs. “Let me explain.”
We’ll Be A Dream- We The Kings stops playing.
Lachlan fastens his belt before he pulls his t-shirt back on. He smiles at the girl who sits in his bed.
“Did you enjoy that?” He asks, smirking. The girl giggles.
“Nancy!” Dodger calls, jogging over to Nancy who is stood outside of the Dog.
“What’s up, Dodger?” Nancy asks.
“It’s killing me,” Dodger sighs.
“What is?”
“Lying to Maxine. She needs to know that her baby is with that… monster!”
Nancy shakes her head.
“It will killer HER!” Nancy hisses, concerned for her friend. “We can’t do that to her.”
“I can’t go on lying, pretending that her baby girl is safe with me when Patrick could be doing anything to her!”
Nancy sighs.
Maxine sits in her cell. She rubs a picture of Minnie that Dodger gave her the day before. She smiles to herself.
“Don’t worry, Minnie,” she whispers. “Mummy’ll be home soon.”
“Go on then, explain!” Nana snaps impatiently. Porsche sheds a tear.
“It’s Mum…” Porsche sniffles. “She’s… she’s…”
“She’s WHAT?” Nana hisses, raising her voice.
“SHE’S DYING!” Porsche reveals, tears parading down her cheeks.
“Dodger! We need to talk!” Sienna says as Dodger strolls past her. He sighs.
“What now, Sienna?”
“You’ve been ignoring me,” Sienna replies sulkily, fiddling with a bracelet on her wrist.
“I haven’t,” Dodger protests. “I just… I’ve been thinking…”
“About what?” Sienna asks curiously.
“Nico… me… you… I mean, I had sex with my estranged twin and then find out that my niece is my daughter! Do you know how messed up that is?”
Sienna’s eyes widen as she notices that somebody is stood behind Dodger. Dodger spins around and gasps as Nico stares at her parents with horror.
“Y-you what?” She asks. Sienna gulps as a tear rolls down Dodger’s cheek.
Nana paces up and down the living room, thinking. Everything is silent. Porsche sits next to Theresa, wiping her eyes with a tissue.
“She would’ve told me,” Nana whispers. “I’m her Mum.”
“She said she didn’t want anybody to know,” Porsche cries. Nana shakes her head.
“No. No, no, no, no, no!” Nana scurries over to Porsche and leans down, her face about an inch away from Porsche’s. “You are just a lying, ring-stealing cow! How dare you tell me that my daughter is about to die when her health is perfect!”
Porsche shakes her head.
“No! No! I’m not lying! Honestly, Nana! She’s dying of cancer!”
“Course she is! What type of cancer is it? I bet you say breast or…”
“Brain tumour!” Porsche shouts almost immediately, causing Nana to stop. Porsche sheds another tear. “She’s dying of a brain tumour.”
Dirk watches as builders work on the new estate that is being built at the end of the village. He smiles to himself, clutching a leaflet. Holly walks past.
“What’s got you all happy?” Holly asks, peering over Dirk’s shoulder. She gasps. “You’re moving out?!”
“No! WE’RE moving out!” Dirk smiles happily. Holly raises an eyebrow. “I’ve brought one of the houses that they’re building on the new estate. The council are always talking about how they’re gonna expand the village, but they’ve FINALLY decided to do it!”
Holly forces a smile.
“I’m sure Mum’ll love it,” she replies.
The brunette stands in the kitchen of the Lomax’ flat, making two cups of tea. Lachlan strolls downstairs and wraps his arms around the girls waist.
“What time are you going home, babe?” Lachlan asks, resting his chin on the girls shoulder.
“In about 15 minutes,” the girl replies.
“I love you, Lauren,” Lachlan kisses her cheek.
“Obviously not much if you’re still married to Porsche,” Lauren Ashmore mumbles. Lachlan chuckles.
“I’ve told you, I’m going to leave her when the time’s right.”
“We’ve been having an affair for three years,” Lauren sighs. “I think the time might be right.”
“OK, OK, OK. I’ll leave her. I’ll get a divorce and everything will be fine.”
“It won’t though, Lockie. She’ll want us both dead.”
“Aww, come on Lauren,” Lockie smirks. “I’m sure you’re big enough and ugly enough to handle Porsche McQueen.”
Lauren smirks, picking up a tea towel and whipping Lockie with it. He prances around, laughing. He runs over to the sofa, Lauren following him.
“Please don’t hit me!” Lachlan pleads. Lauren grins before whipping him with the tea towel again. Lachlan grabs her and pushes her onto the sofa before pinning her down and kissing her lips.
“Got ya,” he smirks. The door opens and Lachlan and Lauren both turn to the face the door where Leela stands, watching them both.
Joe cradles Joe Junior, humming “Twinkle Twinkle”. Joe Junior cries as Freddie strolls into the kitchen.
“Eh, he obviously don’t like you, Fred,” Joe jokes, laughing. Freddie sighs and rolls his eyes before opening a carton of milk and taking a gulp.
“We’ve got to ALL use that!” Ziggy remarks as he wanders into the kitchen. Freddie places the carton of milk back into the fridge.
“Shut up, Zig,” he replies.
“Whose bed did you get out the wrong side of?” Ziggy asks. Freddie rolls his eyes again as he storms out of the kitchen. Joe chuckles quietly as he rocks his arms from side to side slowly.
Sienna bursts through the door of her flat, distressed. Patrick stands up, alarmed by the loud noise.
“You scared me half to death!” Patrick remarks. Sienna shakes her head.
“Nico found out that Dodger is her Dad,” Sienna whispers, ignoring Patrick. “She knows who her parents are!”
“But she doesn’t, Sienna. She doesn’t know who her REAL parents are, does she?”
“No…” Sienna sighs, sitting down. “We have to tell her, Dad. She has to know the truth!”
“No! She can’t find out! It would kill her AND Dodger!”
“If YOU don’t tell her, I will!” Sienna declares, glaring at Patrick.
Myra sits in the folly with a bottle of vodka, crying. She stares at the heart that Mercedes and Malachy carved on the wall.
“Mercedes, I miss you. I didn’t mean what I said; I don’t want you dead. Please, Mercy. I need you. God, I know I’m not the best person. I know I’ve done some terrible things. But please, God, if you’re listening, give me my Mercy back. And my Carmel. And my Tina. Because I miss them.” She pauses as she breaks down into tears. “They’re my beautiful little girls.”
Lauren paces out of the Lomax’ flat and towards Price Slice. She picks up a bottle of water and places it on the counter, pulling her purse out. Holly smiles at her.
“That’s 69p, please,” Holly smiles sweetly. Lauren passes her a £1 coin before walking out of the shop. She smiles as a figure stands in front of her, however the figure can’t be identified.
“Good to see you again,” Lauren grins.
“Right then, boys! Who’s up for pizza?” Rick calls as he parades into the Roscoe house.
“Me!” Ziggy and Joe reply from the kitchen.
“Rob? Jase?” Rick shouts up the stairs. Robbie and Jason bounce down the stairs. Rick gasps as he notices Jason’s hand.
“Jase, what’ve you done to your hand?” Rick splutters. Jason gulps.
Nico storms into the flat, followed by Dodger.
“Granddad Patrick!” Nico screams. “How could you! How could you keep such a dirty secret from me! I’m an inbred!”
Tears patrol down Nico’s cheek. Sienna stands up, placing her bag on the sofa.
“Nico. We need to talk.”
“NO! NOT UNTIL I GET ANSWERS!”
“You’re not inbred!” Patrick shouts. Dodger stares at Patrick, confused.
“I lied,” Sienna whispers.
“What?” Nico spits. “So who are my parents?”
Sienna shuffles her feet, silent. Nico glares at Patrick and Sienna.
“Who are my parents? Tell me who my parents are!”
“Fine!” Patrick snaps.
“Your Dad is… Dodger. But Sienna’s not your Mum.”
“Who is?” Dodger asks.
“I am…” Lauren whispers as she slides out of Sienna’s bedroom. “I’m Nico’s Mum…”
