OPENING TITLES

Photograph- Ed Sheeran plays over the opening montage. The episode starts from where the last episode ended with Nico staring at Lauren, gobsmacked. Sienna runs out of the flat, crying, followed by Patrick.

An empty bottle of vodka lies, smashed, on the floor by one of the benches in the folly. A sleeping Myra lies on the bench, snoring.

Rick sits at the kitchen table, eating pizza. Jason sits opposite him, the pair attempting not to make eye contact. Ziggy notices the awkwardness and attempts to escape from the table, however Joe forces him to stay with the rest of the family.

Photograph- Ed Sheeran stops playing.

Lauren sits down on the sofa next to her daughter. Nico turns to face her.
“Why did Sienna say she was my Mum? Is she mad?”
Lauren shakes her head. Dodger put the kettle on, listening to the conversation.
“When I had you, I was very young. I was about your age. Your aunt, Sienna… she offered to take you away, let me get on with my life. I told her no but…”
“But what?”
“She took you because she was insecure. And then Patrick told me and her that you were dead and… when she found you again she obviously was so happy she forgot to tell me.”
“So she kidnapped me? Is that what you’re saying?” Nico asks. Lauren nods her head.
“Patrick told me he thought I was dead,” Dodger growls.
“He did,” Lauren replies, standing up.
“So how did he know she was mine?”
“You told me your name before we… and then Patrick told me about you and I told him that I’d slept with you but he didn’t believe me. He said I was trying to upset him. When Patrick found you he called me, told me that he’d told you about Nico and you had said you wanted nothing to do with her or me.”
Lauren sniffs, trying to hold back tears but a few stray ones still manage to leak out of her eyes. Dodger pulls her into a hug.
“Don’t cry,” Dodger soothes. “I never said anything like that.”
“Prove it,” Nico mumbles from the sofa. Lauren turns around, confused.
“What?”
“You could be lying about being my Mum,” Nico hisses.
“I’m not!” Lauren protests. “I swear.”
“Prove it.”
“Nico,” Dodger warns sternly.
“No, it’s fine,” Lauren smiles.

“You’re married!” Leela reminds Lockie. He shrugs his shoulders, smiling.
“Porsche doesn’t mind,” he replies, surprisingly calm.
“So you’ve told Porsche?” Leela questions. Lockie’s face changes automatically.
“Well… no…”
“How long?” Leela sighs. Lockie raises an eyebrow. “How long have you been having an affair.”
“A year or two?”
“Lockie…”
“Fine, two years and 69 days.”
“Does Cameron know?” Leela asks. Lockie nods.
“He found out when he returned from prison. He spent a night at mine and saw her.”

Frankie strolls into the folly. She gasps as she notices Myra’s unconscious body.
“Myra?” She calls. She looks down at the bottle and sighs. “Oh Myra, what’ve you done, eh?”
Myra stirs, causing Frankie to smile.

“Before you went, I gave you a teddy bear. You never let it out of your sight.”
“What was its name? If you really gave me that bear you’ll be able to tell me.”
“Paulie,” Lauren smiles slightly. “Paulie Paws.”
Nico sheds a tear before running to Lauren and hugging her tightly.
“So Sienna kidnapped her?” Dodger asks. Lauren nods.
“You don’t remember me, do you?” Lauren whispers. Dodger nods his head.
“Course I do. I just… you never told me your name. And how did Sienna know what I said to you?”
“I might’ve told her about it,” Lauren says, embarrassed.
“You’re blushing,” Dodger grins. Nico smiles, glad that her “new parents” are getting on.

Holly stands in Price Slice, serving a customer. She watches as a taxi pulls up outside. Holly’s mouth drops as Cindy clambers out of the taxi. Cindy smiles through the window at Holly before waving.

Porsche stumbles into the Lomax’s house, drunk after going to The Loft with Theresa. She giggles to herself.
“Anybody home?!” Porsche calls, but the house is empty. She stumbles upstairs and into Lockie’s bedroom. Porsche gasps as she notices a pair of knickers lying on the floor.
“Porsche?” Lachlan yelps from the doorway. Porsche turns to face him, her face red with anger.

“Are you sure you’re up for coming home today?” Trevor asks as he helps Grace out of the hospital. She stays silent; her only reply is a yelp of pain.
Trevor sighs.
“I’m talking to you, Grace!” Trevor raises his voice.
“Yes, Trevor! I’m fine!”

Sienna sits outside the Dog, crying. She sips a glass of wine before pulling her phone out and scrolling through pictures of her and Nico. Darren walks out of the pub and starts to pick glasses up off the tables. He frowns as he looks over at Sienna.
“Are you alright?” Darren asks.
“Why do you even care?” Sienna snaps rudely. Darren sighs.
“Just tryna be nice.”
“Well don’t,” Sienna hisses, standing up and pacing towards the boathouse.

Ziggy sighs as he piles more pizza into his mouth. Somebody knocks on the door and he stands up.
“I’ll get it,” he claims before quickly walking out of the kitchen.

“When will I see you again, Mum?” Nico asks as Lauren puts her coat on. Lauren smiles at her.
“I don’t know. Tomorrow?”
“So you’re sticking around?” Nico grins. Lauren nods.
“Maybe,” she smiles, kissing Nico’s head.
“Bye, baby,” Lauren waves before Dodger opens the front door for her. Dodger closes the door behind him and smiles at Lauren.
“It’s great seeing you again, Dodge,” Lauren smiles, kissing Dodger’s cheek. He smirks.
“See ya, L.”
“Oh, and do me a favour,” Lauren says, leaning in closer to Dodger’s ear. “Keep Patrick away from Sophie.”
“Sophie? I thought that was Sienna’s made-up name.”
Lauren shakes her head.
“As if I’d call my kid Caroline.”
Dodger grins before waving as Lauren makes her way downstairs.

“You’re back!” Holly grins. Cindy nods.
“Yup. Just a visit, mind. So… anything changed?”

Ziggy pulls the door open. His jaw drops as he stares at the person who is stood in the doorway.
“Mum?” He grins. Sandy smiles.
“Alright, Zig?”
