How long are you going to be?
I won't be more than an hour.
I just want to get out there, be active. You know, push myself.
Oh, so you'll be back in ten minutes, then?
CHUCKLES:Sorry. It's good. It's good that you're being healthy.
Not that you need to lose any weight. You know I love you just the way you are.
Don't worry - still plenty to grab hold of.
I just want to clear me swede.
You're worried about Ollie.
No, course not.
Then it's me. You're worried about my next smear.
L, L, it's not that.
KNOCK ON DOOR It's Kat and her mop.
You'd tell me if there was something, wouldn't you? Yes, course I would.
Morning!Hello. What are you doing here?
Rolling my sleeves up. See you later.
Are you sure you're up to it? Yeah. Absolutely.
If I get tired, I'll give Kat a ring and she'll take over.
Morning.Morning.
Oh! How did you get on with Bobby last night?
Don't ask.
Oh, Ian, you didn't have a go at him, did you?
I told you you've got to tread careful with him.
Oh, thanks for that vote of confidence.
Oh, what, so it went all right, then?
Well, I cooked him all his favourite things, I was ready to talk to him
about everything and he didn't bother turning up.
He sent me a text saying he was staying at his mate's house,
so he obviously doesn't want to talk about it.
And, as I'm "treading carefully", best I leave him to it.
So, seeing as he's not here, I'm going to have a bacon sandwich.
MOBILE RINGS
Yeah, yeah, of course. WHISPERS:Is that Bex?
Yeah. No, as soon as I hear.
Dot, I really need to go now.
Cheers, Stuart.
So, have we heard?
Not yet.
Look, no news is good news.
I've even got the banners.
Yeah, I promise you, as soon as I hear anything.
All right, love you.
I need to put these down.
Oh, and I've also got the cake still to get.
I don't know who's more nervous, y'know - me or her.
I keep telling her it's no big deal, you know, what results she gets.
Now it's actually here... Sis, will you stop worrying?
She's going to pass. I just know it.
She should've phoned by now.
Nah! She'll be with all her mates, won't she?
Some news crew will be filming them all jumping up and down.
Yeah, they want to do something on how hard
all these kids work, don't they?
Hey, look. It'll all be worth it when she opens that envelope
and sees all them A-pluses.
Well, at least you've got no funerals today.
Promise you'll call me if you need me.
I'll be fine. Honest.
CHATTER ON TV
Right, you finished? Yeah, thanks.Oi.
Right, catch you later.
See ya.
Adam, your... DOOR CLOSES
ON TV:OK, lads, you've all designed your UberZooks.
It's now time to see if they're good enough to propel you into the final.
Best of luck. Let's start the countdown.
Three, two, one.
And, seriously, any time. OK, I will.
It's the least I can do to thank you.
Every time I see that amazing smile, it brightens up my day.
Oh, well, I'll take that - coming from a dentist.
Stop me before I start telling you how amazing your incisors are!
Adam, you forgot your phone.Oh!
What would I do without you?
He's lovely.
I thought this lot had summer club.
Well, this is better for them. It's teaching them proper work.
You'd better be paying us. KUSH LAUGHS
You should have agreed terms before you started, mate.
Do that one again. It's not straight.
That's it! We ain't doin' no more.
We ain't carrying on till you allow minimum wage
and stop breathing down our necks.
Minimum wage? Who do they think they are?
I told you, don't worry.
Even if Phil's memory does come back to him,
I am not going to let him touch you, OK?
It's Jean I'm worried about.
She's got her scan to see if the chemo's working.
Oh, right. Well, fingers crossed, then.
Even so, we still need some extra bolt fittings on the doors.
MICK SPLUTTERS
What's that, your results?
Go on. How did you get on?
Oh.
Well...
..what's Oxford got that Walford ain't, really?
It's got clean air and it's got bikes and it's got,
you know, them little tin pencil cases.
What's your mother say?
I can't tell her the truth.
Sometimes, y'know, we feel that we have to lie
to protect the ones that we love.
But you've got to understand, y'know,
there's a law in the jungle.
And your mum, it's her job to try and deal with your problems.
Y'know, like it'll be your job one day
when you have your own little cubs.
See, I never went to university, but I know how the world works.
A bit.
MOBILE VIBRATES
Don't shut her out, Bex.
Hi. Hi, yeah. Yeah, I've got them.
No. No, I haven't opened them yet.
FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS
Iqra, your grandfather and I want to talk to you.
Don't we, Arshad?
Yes, I thought we said tonight. IQRA SIGHS
I'm sorry. OK? I know you're disappointed with me,
and I know I've caused everyone loads of trouble. And, yes,
I should have told you before I had someone new, but...
Well, I'm glad you're sorry.
But disappointment is about yesterday.
Today is about looking forward to Tuesday.
What's happening on Tuesday?
You are bringing your boyfriend home for dinner.
It's too early.
You said you've been seeing him over several months.
ARSHAD SIGHS I told you.
I thought she might not want us to meet him.
You don't want to meet this man your granddaughter is in love with?
Whom she gave up a marriage for?
Well, of course, I want to meet him, but...
..I mean, look how long it took for her to even mention him to us.
Iqra, is it because you're ashamed of us
that you don't want him to come here?
Iqra? Iqra?
DOOR CLOSES
Habs, I need your help.
DOOR CLOSES
There you are!Hey.
HE CHUCKLES
SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
HE CHUCKLES
I don't want to open it.
I don't want to know.Oh, darling!
Listen, sweetheart.
Whatever that says, it's OK.
Yeah.
Innit?Yeah.
It's OK.
Oh, no, wait! I've got to record it.
Sorry, for your dad - you know, seeing as he's got more important things to do.
Sonia.Sorry.
Go on, then.
I...got an A...
..and...
..two A-stars.
THEY LAUGH
Martin, she's done it! She's only gone and done it!
Yes! Get in there!
THEY LAUGH
I never doubted you. Not for a second.
Not for one second!
You're going to Oxford! She's going to Oxford!
HE LAUGHS
Yes!
Well done! Well done, darlin'!
Bobby!
I was just cleaning up, and...
What, you got so knackered, you had to lie down?
What's the matter? You got trouble at home?
I just needed some space.
Well, get yourself together.
I'll make you some breakfast.
I mean, she only needed one A-star and two As.
She only went and got two A-stars!
That's fantastic! That is... That's amazing!
I knew it! I knew she'd kill it! Oh, Son, you must be so proud.
I am! I ain't stopped crying.
Y'know, and I've been telling her, don't worry,
it don't matter what you get, but it really is the best news ever!
Aw, Sonia! Well, you tell her that I'm made up for her.
I will. I will.
Come to the party and tell her yourself.
No, it might be a bit difficult to get someone to mind the stall.
No - come. You should be there.
All right, now spread the word - I want that place packed, all right?
12 o'clock in the Vic.
Ian! Bex got into Oxford!
That's amazing!
Robbie.
Listen, it's one thing me subletting the flat to you.
It's another thing you then subletting it to someone else.
Kush, I can't afford the rent on my own.
Besides, it's not very healthy, me living on my own.
I get into my head, y'know, miss Sami and that.
All right. Just make sure you check references. Robbie.
About that, though.
I thought you said the party was going to be at the house.
Well, it ain't big enough, is it?
Well, I ain't going to be able to come, will I?
Oh! Oh, it's all right. I'll talk to Linda.
I'll sort it out. It'll be fine.
Shrimpy, have you heard the news?
Here we go.Thanks.
It's not going to be a habit, is it, you sleeping here?
No.
Erm...
..just gets a bit much sometimes.
All right, when you've finished that, do that washing up.
And then go home, yeah? Get a fresh T-shirt on before we open up.
Well, actually, I've got a spare one in my bag.
I don't need to go home.
You've got four platters of sandwiches and some mini-quiches.
Aw, thanks, Linda. I really appreciate it.
I can't tell you how relieved I am, you know?
I mean, she done so well to get these results.
It's like a dream come true.
I remember how I felt when Johnny got into uni.
SHE CHUCKLES Course, it's much harder for law.
All that reading, carrying all that knowledge in his head.
But he was always a bright kid.
He knew his alphabet at the age of two.
They said he was a child genius.
That's me done, Linda.
Oh, there's some... Oh, what do you call it? Erm...
Oh, chemo brain!
Y'know, writing on the wall that shouldn't be there?Oh, graffiti.
Graffiti, yeah, in the men's toilets, that I couldn't get off.
It's quite complimentary about you.
DOOR SLAMS Sorry, didn't mean to slam the door!
She looks good, don't she?
Yeah. Just one more thing while I've got you -
and I'm sure you won't mind because it's just a one-off -
but Stuart's going to come over later.No, no, no.
I'm sorry, but no. No, that's out of the question.
He will never be welcome here.
It's just a card, from me, to say well done.
You don't have to open it now.
All that hard work paid off, though, didn't it, hey?
I'm proud of you.
Really proud.
Anyway, I'll leave you to it.
I'll see you at the party, yeah?
What party?
But she failed.
Well, can't have, can she?
Maybe she hadn't opened the results and she thought she failed.
L, I know that look.
Just seeing Jean gave me a wobble.
Yeah, well, there's no point worrying till we know, eh?
Yeah, I know. Right, I'll go and open up.
See you downstairs.
Hi! How are you? Nice to see you.
Sorry!Actually, I can't stop. I've got to...
Iqra...
Actually, is everything all right after Eid?
I'm sure your grandparents will come around, and...
I know Adam feels very guilty about what happened -
you know, the accident with him and Habiba.
Guilt? Adam? He'd have to have a conscience to feel guilty.
Erm, what do you mean by that?
That, clearly, I know him a lot better than you do.
We're moving?I'm moving.
I don't want a fuss!
But everyone is so pleased for you... I got the cake!
Bad timing, mate. I've put me size 10s in it, big time.
It'll be like we're gloating.
I've told Karen all about it, and she said they're all for it.
Look, trust me, you're going to have a great time.
Is that the cake? Yeah.Right, get it over to the Vic, please.
Eh?Linda's expecting us. Hurry up, go on.
Come on, Rob, please!
Linda on board with everything, is she?
Yeah. Yeah, course she is, yeah.
Yeah? Great!
Well, celebrations all round, then, eh?
SHE SIGHS
I need to do this.
You're going to live with your boyfriend, aren't you?
It's too soon. It's too early, Iqra.
I'm not.
It's nothing like that.
You might as well tell them the truth.
We had an argument,
and she decided she can't live under the same roof as me any more.
Complete drama queen! ARSHAD LAUGHS
But you two always make up.
I just think it's for the best. And I'm not going far, I promise.
Iqra, this is not like you - arguments with your sister,
secret boyfriend.
It's not like you at all.
Iqra?
Oh, I thought you were downstairs.
I'm on early lunch.
Were you having a moment?
Thinking about Chris?
Well...
..I think it might help if you talk about him.
I mean, you can tell me anything. You know that, don't you?
We...we were close.
We helped each other out, shared. He sounds...
..special.
I only came back to charge my phone,
cos Bex is having a party at the Vic cos she got into Oxford, so...
Oh! HE CHUCKLES
But, look, I'll leave you to your memories.
I'll see you in a bit.
Whit!
I'll come with you. To the party.
I need priority of the bathroom
first thing in the morning and all evening.
Don't expect me to clean up after you.
Or herself. She's very messy.
I'm going to want the biggest bedroom.
The room's not gone, has it? No, no. No.
OK, so a month's deposit and a month up front, yeah?Yes.
ON TV:And Blazing Red can do nothing about it.
And there's every possibility that...
Oh, they've both gone!
I was watching that.Will...
..I need you to do exactly what I say, OK? No questions.
All right?
I want you to get your rucksack and the bag from under your bed
and start packing all your things -
and tell Janet to do exactly the same.
All right? Hurry up.
We haven't got long. Adam's going to be back soon.
Here she is!
CHEERING
You total brainiac!
Can I get a bottle of your finest bubbly, please, Linda?
Yeah, how many glasses? Five - and one for yourself.
Oh, don't mind if I do. Son, want a drink?
Oh, come here, you!
You clever girl. Do you know what?
Your grandma Pauline would be so proud of you!
Oh, well done!
You're officially the smartest person I know!
Yeah, Bex, you ain't the only one celebrating.
Tell her, Keegs.
I got a B and two Cs, but it's only ASes.
Hey, you hear that? Bs and Cs, my lad's got.
CHEERING
Are you happy with your results?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it don't make a difference.
I'm going to start my business, ain't I?
Yeah, he reckons he's going to be a millionaire before he's 20.
Listen, the last thing I want to do is spend years and bare peas
studying something pointless.
What about you, Bern? How did you do?
Well, I got an A in History.
You hear that? An A.
My daughter got an A!
I didn't even get my GCSEs!
Excuse me.
You really need to work on your happy face.
Well done. Our loss is Oxford's gain, yeah?
You did get the grades you wanted, no?
I got the grades I needed...
..not the ones I wanted.
I got the grades that mean years of nonstop hard work, exams,
debt and no time to see anyone. Hey...
You know what I was like during my exams. You saw how I couldn't cope.
Oxford is just going to be a million times harder.
No-one's expecting you to be a superhero.
Just have a little bit of faith in yourself, yeah?
Sonia cleared it with Linda.
Mick, please.
I don't want you in here.Mick, he has really, really helped me.
Please, just for a few drinks.
Stay away from me and my family.
Thank you.I told Sonia no! I ain't having it.
L, just leave it. It's for Bex, yeah?
Do you need anything behind the bar?
We could do with another box of Chardonnay.
Come on, I want to show you off.
I can't, all right? It's lunchtime.
The girls ain't turned up, have they?
Look at you, being all work-focused.
It's sexy.
Listen, go to the party, all right?
Say well done to Bex and I'll meet you at the flat.
I'll show you exactly how sexy I can be.
Sounds good to me.
See ya.See ya later.
How you doing? You all right?
Do you like Ruby?
Er, yeah.
Yeah. As it happens, I do.
Did you like Lucy?
Did you love her?
I'm being tolerated. I'm on my best behaviour.
Yeah, well, you've done a lot to help Bex.
You should have seen her earlier.
She walked all the way back from school with the results in her hand
but never opened the envelope.
She just kept staring at it, like it was the end of the world.
I would've ripped that open the second I got it.
I mean, how can you not want to know what's inside?
HE CHUCKLES
Stuart, where's Callum?
He was just here.
We haven't got to stay long.
Hi.Hey.Here she is. Here's Einstein!
Yeah, congratulations!
I texted my dad, but he hasn't replied.
Have you heard from him or Stacey? No, not a dickie bird.
No, I'm sure he just hasn't seen your text.
He is going to be the proudest bloke on the planet,
cos you've done amazing. Well done.
Keanu should be here, celebrating our news.
You know, it's just wrong celebrating without him, innit?
Look at her. First Fowler or Beale to get into Oxbridge.
It's Oxford, not Oxbridge. They're two different places.
I'll have a vodka and tonic and a lager, please.
You know, I gotta say, Jean's a marvel.
She's got a great spirit. She just faces things head-on.
She's at the hospital now.Oh!
All right? Yeah, you? Where's your other half?
Do you know what? He was just here, but I think he's gone back to work.
Not long till the big day now.
No.It's written all over your face. Look at ya.
What?
Love.
Kat, I have never been so happy.
HE CHUCKLES
Just fill that out for me, please. Thank you.
MOBILE PINGS
Excuse me. Oh!
Mrs Feisty!
Afternoon.
DOOR OPENS
I'm home!
I've, erm...
I've come to a decision.
We need to spend some quality time together...
..so I've dropped the kids off at Billy's...
..I've called your secretary, cleared your diary.
We're going away.
Seriously?
I never knew you were so spontaneous. I love it.
What a great surprise!
Mm!
HE PANTS
# I've never known a girl like you before... #
BOTTLES CLINK
HE BREATHES HEAVILY
I don't want no trouble.
Get out! No, no, no... I said keep away!
Will you just let me speak?!
I've tried.
No, I've worked so hard to be accepted on this square.
And I've won a few fans - y'know, people who like me for who I am.
But none of that matters because
you're the only one I want a smile from.
I know I did terrible, terrible things,
but I wasn't right in my head and I haven't stopped torturing myself.
Get out.No, can't you see that I've changed?
I'm a completely different person.
I've sorted my head out. I help people now -
Mrs Branning, Doctor Legg, Sonia, Bex.
I'll do anything for anyone, cos that is the real me.
You don't fool me.
I'm not going anywhere! I live across the square.
You're going to see me every day.
I miss my mate.
Stuart...
..help.
