I'd like to introduce our newest member of staff, Darius Donovan.
You write your own story in life. Go big or go home.
Cupcake for your special guest?
It's all right, it's ten-second rule, innit?
Vegan and dairy free. Can I have one of these?
You can have whatever you like.
Didn't she video us? Yeah, don't worry, I took care of that.
I deleted the video from her phone.
Can I just ask you one thing?
How long did it take you to open that whisky?
He knows what happened to Hope. We all know what happened to Hope!
Some guys came in the pub last week.
They do seem pretty keen to speak to you
about some cash you owe them too.
You have my complete support and complete trust.
My old man was hard.
And maybe if you got a decent job,
you could afford a roof over your own head too.
Actually, things might not be so tight. I'm getting some inheritance.
Wait, you said that your auntie's inheritance
wasn't going through for months. It's him - he took the money.
He drugged Stella to get her out the way,
and then she takes the fall, and guess who steps up in her place?
If you can see what he did, then someone else can.
He's on borrowed time.
MUSIC: Zombie by Jamie T
Fantastic. Love it.
Hello.
Good morning.
Do you fancy a little whirl while we have the floor to ourselves?
Er, no, because the only thing that is whirling is my stomach.
You're in a good mood.
Yeah, well, if this interview goes well, I'll be the permanent head.
It's a massive achievement.
Yeah, I know, but people are still really shocked about Stella.
I mean, come on, you don't want it to look like you're doing well
because of her downfall, do you?
Do you think I'm taking advantage?
No, but other people might.
I am sorry. She got herself into this mess,
and as shocking as it is, somebody needs to sort it out.
And I believe I am the man to do it.
All right. You're not in the job interview now, you know?
I am doing what is best for the school AND for us.
And if you believe in me, that's all I need.
Of course I do.
Sorry. Yes, mate?
Do you want to put it all in this corner? Yeah, no problem.
LAUGHTER AND CHATTER
Did you bring you straighteners? Go on, show us what you're wearing.
No, prom is for saddos, man. Prom's for everyone.
No, see, you will never see a Weever at prom, will you?
SHE SCOFFS
OK.
What, do you want to go?
Do you know what reading in between the lines is?
What?
Your sister wants to go to prom.
No, she doesn't.
No, she doesn't have a date.
She doesn't have a dress.
So why would...?
That's why she's upset.
You two are family. You need to look out for each other.
You didn't need to come round so early.
Well, I wanted to. I can't believe they've charged you.
They were very thorough.
They've been through my bank accounts, they searched
my underwear drawer, and now they're charging me with embezzlement.
They're charging...?!
It's OK, Ben. Look, they've charged you when it was him?
Can you just calm down and go to school, please?
I'm not going. Ben, I know you're upset,
but your nan needs time to process what's happened.
I'll be all right.
You're not, though, are you?
DOOR CLOSES
CLATTERING
Yeah...
Are you really going to wear the eye mask all morning?
Till we get married, yeah.
It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride, innit?
That is kind of cute.
You know what? I'm really glad we're having a quiet day.
When you love someone, you don't need nothing fancy.
TAPPING ON WINDOW
Don't do it, Noel. Marry me, marry me!
You've got to see this. It's me you want.
I love you. I want you, baby.
Right, you better let them in before the neighbours think it's true.
Oh...
And you better clear off while I finish getting ready.
Shall we go do our painting in the other room, yeah?
Give Mummy some peace?
Right, look, I'll get the paint, can you take your brush?
I still feel bad about Tonya.
Wow! We've gone, like, 20 minutes without saying her name.
High score. It's up to you.
But if it was down to me, I'd be asking you to be my date
by the lockers in a well-elaborate fashion.
Yeah, and presenting you with one of those...flower things.
A corsage? A corsage. And then we dance.
Yeah, we dance all night, and then we'll be crowned
Prom King and Queen.
But, yeah, apart from that, I haven't really thought about it.
I'll think about it. OK?
Did you know, there's two man-made objects that are visible from space?
The Great Wall of China and Izzy's eyelashes.
Oh, no, no, no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
I think I've got glue in my eye.
What are those, the 5.99 lashes from the market?
You might get an infection.
I'm not that cheap.
These are the £8.99 ones.
I should have got the £9.99, you know.
Well, who's got a date for prom?
Me. Me.
Oh, you two are so cute.
Oh, good for you.
But I'm an independent woman,
and I don't need anyone to hold my hand at prom.
Have you got a date, Shola?
Oh, well, actually...
..I'm going with...Tonya.
What?
Tonya! She's back. What?
Now, look, the bottom line is that the Trust have obviously got
enough evidence on Stella, and that's it, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm sorry but I can't see it.
That woman is as straight-laced as they come.
Look, there is absolutely no going back from this.
She is a goner. OK, everybody, can we get started, please?
Unfortunately, my first job is to tell you that Stella's arrest
was not as unfounded as we'd all hoped.
She has now been charged.
The Trust are in the process of making my role as Head permanent.
So hopefully, after formalities today, I'll no longer be acting.
As most of you know, I am about to become a parent.
Every parent wants what's best for their child.
Every teacher's goal should be to create a school
that is good enough for them.
That is going to be my promise.
And I sincerely hope that's a journey you can come on with me.
OK, everyone, thank you.
Wow, he is loving the power.
You've got to give him a chance, I suppose.
Oh, you seen how slick he was sliding into Stella's place.
Not awkward at all.
I agree, but you can't criticise someone for being confident.
Right, there's confident, and then there's having to
widen the doors because your head is too big to fit through.
LAUGHTER
So, got it?
As soon as he arrives, you jump up and start it.
We heard you the first ten times.
That's the plan, right?
Nothing.
Another couple. Great.
I can't believe people are so old school.
No date. She's going to cry.
Shut up, Freddie.
I'm not crying.
Ohh!
Luca wants to know if Mog's been learning sign language.
She's not. It's just an easy sign to guess.
DOOR OPENS
What are you doing?
Um, I'm just... I need some figures for the Progress 8 report.
I emailed those to everybody yesterday...because I'm efficient.
So try again.
Why are you snooping around my office?
MY office?
You say that so easy, don't you?
OK.
But you still haven't answered my question.
What is going on, Nisha?
Where did the money come from?
What money? You know what money - for the house.
I told you. No, because I spoke to your dad, and your dad said
you didn't have an auntie, and that means there's no inheritance.
So where did it come from?
I can't believe this.
You put two and two together and got five.
I thought you were a maths teacher.
Look, you're not even answering me now.
Well, that's because you're not asking what you really want to,
are you? So, come on, then.
Did I have something to do with the embezzlement?
Did you?
You really think I would do that? Well, I don't know.
I just don't get where else the money's come from.
My auntie. No, because your dad said that...
My mother's sister, not my dad's.
You could have just asked me.
Instead, you just jumped to the worst conclusion.
No, because it made sense.
Maybe to someone who never really trusted me in the first place.
I thought we were a family.
You don't feel the same way, do you?
Right, we're nearly done.
Oh, I've got some brush and volume feather eyelashes.
Which pigeon did you pluck them from?
I got them from the market.
8.99 they cost me.
They look like an eye infection waiting to happen.
Oh, wait, I've got some of my own, actually.
Much classier...
..I'm going to be for this wedding.
Have you told her? Why do I have to tell her?
Because you've got more tact, diplomacy and courtesy than we do.
Well, given I don't know how to spell at least two of those words,
I don't think so. Do you think she's going to be upset?
Yeah, we're missing a wedding reception.
It is not a wedding reception, it's a table at Bobby's carvery.
I mean, it's not our fault that they announced prom late.
She'll understand.
Prom is a seminal moment that signifies the end of childhood
and the beginning of adulthood.
Will you stop reading books and speaking like your dad
and just speak proper English? Guys, will you just stop arguing
because we're going to have to tell her,
and we're going to have to tell her now. Tell me what?
Darius!
Darius, wait!
Why? So you can accuse me of something else?
No, listen, I was just confused.
No, you weren't, you just don't trust anyone.
I will give you my password, you can go through all my files
if it'll make you feel better. Oh, no, you don't need to do that.
My password is "Nisha" and then your birthday.
Look, I'm sorry. I never should have done it.
Nisha, I love you more than I have ever loved anybody,
but I need you to trust me.
I do. I do trust you.
I'm sorry.
OK, let's just forget it, OK? Yeah.
But it's my wedding day.
But prom is, like, once in a lifetime.
Oh, yeah, and I'm just going to go and marry somebody else next week?!
Look, can you not just see things from our point of view?
No, I can't. You're spoiling my wedding day.
Hey!
Hey...
Look, I don't know what's going on in here, but, you know,
when you mentioned about your wedding day getting spoilt...?
Yeah. Yeah, well, me and Mia were painting.
And, um...
I'm so sorry.
It's fine. Yeah?
It's not spoilt.
There! NOW it's spoilt!
I can't believe she's just done that.
You've not said much.
I thought you'd be made up that I'm back.
No, I am. I'm just concentrating.
So you're going to whisk me off to prom in a limo later?
It's just in the hall straight after school - you can walk there.
Still, I thought you'd want to do something more romantic.
What is up with you?
Are you still upset about me going?
Sorry, I didn't know what was going on with you.
It was, like, you never texted or anything.
Well, it's not every day you find out your dad's a paedo.
I just needed some space.
I'm back now. That's all that matters, isn't it?
The other school was all right, but I missed my mates, and I missed you.
Ton, I'm really sorry, but I'm seeing someone.
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
I actually didn't say that you could leave.
So...
..yes, you can go.
Thank you, everyone.
Whoever she is, I bet you a million pounds she's not as pretty as you.
Yeah, and if she is, I'll smash her face in.
What? If I smash her face in, she wouldn't be as pretty any more.
Duh! Thanks, but I don't really want to talk about it.
Well, can we talk about why I haven't got a date for the prom?
Well, I thought you were this fierce, independent woman
who didn't need one. Right, I am...
..364 days of the year.
But it's prom! Why won't someone take me to prom?
Honestly, Mog, I wouldn't even bother.
Boys are all the same.
I'm not even bothered about him.
What I want to know is, who is SHE?
Well, she must have known why you left school,
and she swoops in like some kind of skank.
Hmm. She's not girl's girl, is she?
It's me.
I'm the one who's seeing Ashton.
Tonya, I'm so sorry.
Shola, that's proper sly.
Cat, I didn't mean it.
Look, I don't get why you think it's OK to miss our wedding reception.
It's not a wedding reception, it's... Don't say it.
..a table for seven.
Mia's watching Peppa Pig.
She seems happy.
At least someone is.
Look, we're really not trying to hurt you.
And we're really happy that you're getting married.
But after the ceremony, we just really want to go to prom.
Look, today I'm marrying the woman that
I fell in love with the second I laid eyes on her.
Nothing else matters.
So if you guys want to go prom, that's fine.
Yeah? Go with our blessing.
Because today's not about parties or handprints on dresses.
It's about me and her making a lifelong commitment to one another,
and Mia.
You're right.
Nothing else matters.
I've got an idea.
Give me your hand. Why? Just give me your hand.
On the dress.
For me, you and Mia.
So, if Olivia is four years older than Tyler...
KNOCK ON DOOR
..how old...?
Sorry to interrupt, Miss Chandra.
I found this one wandering the corridors.
Thank you, Mr Casey.
You all right, Ben? Do you want to take a seat?
So, how old will Olivia be?
Can we answer that one, please?
Mate, I'm sorry about what happened.
Your nan getting arrested in front of the whole school,
it's a bit much.
Yeah, she's out now, so...
Yeah?
And what happened?
Look, I don't want to talk about it.
But she didn't do it, though, did... I don't want to talk about it!
Ben, you're disrupting my lesson.
Do I look like I care?
Right.
Just sit down, and we'll get on with the lesson.
No. I just want to get him with teaching, Ben. Please.
Sit down, mate. Get off me!
Right, Ben, out now.
Fine by me.
Right, get on with page 24, please, in silence.
Look, Ben, listen, I know you're going through a lot
with your nan right now, and I'm sorry.
But you can't act like this in school.
Why not? Your boyfriend does whatever he wants.
Oh, and he gets away with it.
Right, excuse me, Mr Donovan is acting head,
and whatever rumours you've heard about him aren't true,
do you understand? Well, I know for a fact that he's drugged my nan.
Are you mad?
She had drugs in her system
and it could have only been him that spiked her.
No, I think it's you who's on drugs.
I can't believe that she's filling your head with all this nonsense.
Is she really this desperate?
Are you?
I didn't think you were that sad, miss.
Never going to let you go.
Luca wants to know why Izzy's teaching sign language.
Right, can we go from the beginning. Yeah. OK.
She's probably just being helpful.
No, you're lying, you know something.
No.
Well, earlier, I saw Mog signing.
Oh, I hope they're not planning
something really cheesy for the prom.
Of course not. Why would they do that?
I don't know.
Luca is saying he'd hate to be the centre of attention.
I'll have a word with them both.
I'll make sure it doesn't happen.
Thanks.
It'd be so cringe.
It'd give me the ick.
Freddie, I'm sorry.
We're going to have to sack it off.
But you've put so much effort in, and everyone's learned the song.
Even her.
Imagine us all signing, thinking it's ace,
and he's just standing there wanting to die.
I wanted to do a nice thing, but I got it wrong.
It's chill.
I'm taking you to prom.
Are you having a laugh? How desperate you think I am?
Brother takes sister to prom? No, thanks.
Everybody already thinks our family are a bunch of weirdos,
why don't we just confirm it?
Portia, I don't want to take you, I just don't want you missing out.
We've already missed so much, haven't we?
I've not got a dress. I've got you a dress.
You've not got a suit. I've got a suit.
Fine, well, don't be showing me up.
You made him do that, didn't you?
It's funny how you can be so nice when you want to.
Leoni.
I'm sorry.
I've been really awful to you this year.
Well, for a long time, really.
But maybe, in time,
we could try to start again.
Maybe.
Miss.
I know I'm probably not allowed...
Oh, go on, ask.
Nan left some photos of me and Hope in her desk,
and we just wondered if we could get them back.
Well, if I'd have seen you, then, no, you wouldn't be allowed,
but luckily for you,
I'm extremely busy today, so I haven't noticed a thing.
Thank you, miss. You're a legend.
What are you doing here?
Why are you going round telling everyone at Darius drugged you?
You'd better come in.
You know, you, you're a bitter, desperate woman.
What possible reason would he have to hurt you?
Maybe to hide the fact that he's been stealing
from the school accounts. No, because you're the one
who's been charged, not him. And I thought I was a fool.
He convinced me,
but he's got you wrapped around his little finger, hasn't he?
No. Send you here, did he, to defend his honour?
No, he doesn't know I'm here. And where's your proof, right?
You've got no proof of any of this.
There's only three of us knew about those drugs in Ben's locker.
Now, somehow they got into my system, it wasn't me.
So unless it was you, who else could it have been?
I don't think that your grandson's locker
is the only source of drugs, do you, Stella?
Whoever did it could have got the drugs from anywhere.
And that's what you're telling yourself.
No, I just know that Darius wouldn't do that. I know it.
Do you?
That man plays with people's lives, and he doesn't care who gets hurt.
And if you're not careful, Nisha,
he might end up doing the same to you one day.
Nisha been in at all?
No.
I thought she might want to wish me luck.
Hmm.
Probably thinks you don't need it.
Oh, I made you a coffee, by the way. Ah! It's probably cold now.
That's the least of my worries.
Well, your diary's been blocked out for the interview.
Serena Michelle will be here shortly.
She's just in reception with the governors.
Hope you're ready.
As I'll ever be.
You're brave.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told you in the way that I did.
Oh, right.
So, not that you shouldn't have pinched my boyfriend,
you should have just told me nicer.
You just went.
No-one knew where you were, or if you were going to come back.
Is that your excuse for being sneaky?
Do you know what it feels like to find out your dad's a paedo?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it worse.
You're my best mate, Tonya.
So dump him.
If you want to be my friend, you'll finish it with him.
GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS
Just one minute, guys, yeah?
What time did you call this?
It took longer than I expected.
What did? Here.
I can't have people thinking we're povos.
But we are.
Right, Nan... Nan, I think I'm good to go.
I need you looking good for Stacey.
She's a cracker.
I know.
I'm proud of you.
I'm proud of you too, Nan.
Thank you so much for joining us, Darius.
We appreciate that, ideally, you would have had longer to prep.
No, no. Good to go. Good to go!
Right.
Perhaps you could start by talking us through your career to date.
Yeah. As you know, I started my career in the marines,
which was great.
Um...
Not a lot of front-line experience,
but still pretty dangerous in the recruitment office.
Plenty of paper cuts.
Do you know what I mean?
And you had management experience there?
Management experience.
Experience in management.
Absolutely.
Are you sure you're OK to continue the interview, Darius?
I'm sorry. Um...
I'm just really nervous.
Just take your time. As we said,
none of this is under the ideal circumstances, so...
..just relax.

MUFFLED: Darius?
Darius!
I'm sorry. What did you ask me?
How do you see a head teacher's role in the school?
Head teacher's role?
All-seeing eye, isn't it?
Hmm?
Watching over everything, making it run smoothly.
Yeah.
And how exactly would you do that?
Vision and delegation, isn't it?
Delegation and vision.
Fairly simple stuff.
CLIP SNAPS SHUT
OK, moving on.
How do you manage parental interest?
What would you do if a parent complained
about their child's teacher? Which parent?
Any parent. Well, for that matter, which teacher?
Because some of them...I get it.
But also,
some parents can be... pain in the arse.
Mr Donovan!
I know we're not supposed to say it.
She knows it. He knows it.
You know it, Selena.
Serena Michelle. Selena Michelle.
Serena.
Well, you've given us a lot to chew over, Darius.
Do you have any questions for us?
I don't think so.
Ohh... Ohh...
I have always wanted to know...
..did you really have a one-night stand with Jack Rimmer?
WHISPERS: Was he any good?
It's not the time.
I think we're done here.
She did.
You'll be in touch?
Ohh! At ease, Marine.
Can't believe we're actually married.
Thank you for inviting us. We had a brilliant day.
Congratulations. You are the cutest couple.
Oh, wait, I still need to throw my bouquet.
Oh, yeah, OK. No, Libby.
I going to get it. No, you're not.
Libby, no. It's mine. Wait, wait. Focus.
That's what you get for ditching me.
Enjoy the prom.
Right, well, that was a bit childish.
I know.
I loved it.
How are you, Mrs McManus?
That was the best day in my life.
Same.
Be honest, though.
Are you were a little bit sad about the girls going to prom?
Literally, like 1%.
Same.
Maybe about two.
Nisha, there you are.
That interview.
HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
Not good. I feel...
I've been looking for you everywhere.
Agh!
That's for Stella.
Agh! What are you doing?
You did it, didn't you? You drugged her?
Who? Stella?
Yes, Stella, and don't try and lie to me
and tell me that you didn't because I know that you did. No, no, no.
I don't feel very good.
OK, can we please just have a minute?
How can we have a family together when I don't know who you are?
Nish, you do know who I am. Who's saying you don't?
I spoke to Stella. OK.
OK, so you're going to take the words of a mad old lady over me.
I am the father of your child.
No, you're doing it again. No, not any more.
Not if you keep on lying to me. No, no, no, no.
OK, you don't mean that. OK, you're just confused.
All right, it's all very confusing. No, no, I'm not confused.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
I am crystal clear.
All I want from you now is the truth.
And if you can't give me that, you will never see me or the baby again.
Ohh!
Nisha, wait.
Nisha.
Nisha, wait, please.
Did you drug Stella?
I didn't know what to do.
I was just trying to build a life for us.
So you did?
You and the baby is all I've ever wanted.
And you siphoned the money from school?
Only for you.
No, no, no, don't you dare drag me into this.
You did this for yourself.
Things have got out of hand, I know they have. No, no.
I'm going to call the police.
You've got no evidence.
There's nothing you can tell them.
Do you know when you gave me your password?
I did a bit of digging.
And you're so arrogant that you didn't think I'd know
what I was looking for or how to access it,
but I found it all, Darius. I'll just delete it all.
Come on, wake up.
Once they start looking, they'll find you footprints
all over the servers, and I will tell them everything I know.
Please. I love you. No, you don't love me.
Don't say that. And do you know what?
Anything that we had, it was you who wrecked it.
You just need to listen to me.
And you don't deserve to be a dad.
# So if you're lonely... #
I've actually got glue in my eye now.
# ..You know I'm here waiting for you
# I'm just a cross-hair
# I'm just a shot away from you
# And if you leave here
# You leave me broken, shattered I lie
# I'm just a cross-hair
# I'm just a shot then we can die
# Ah-ah-ah... #
Oh, my God, Mog, your lashes look amazing.
Where did you get them from?
Market. 5.99.
Bargain, aren't they?
Ohh!
About earlier... Hey, don't worry about it.
Move! Looks like we're each other's date.
Get out the way.
Has he totally lost it?
Nana. Ben?
We've got him.
What do you mean? What have you done?
Ben?
Wait until you see the state he's in.
Have a lovely evening.
That's lovely, have a lovely evening.
Lovely. Have a wonderful time.
MUSIC THUMPS
Oh, best behaviour, please.
Come here often?
Ladies!

You look amazing.
Both of you.

Hey, I'm sorry not being here for you this time.
It's all right, you're here now.

NEW SONG BEGINS
BOTH: Banger!
GIGGLING
I'm sorry I hurt you.
Yeah, well, at least you did the right thing in the end.
Yeah.
Always doing the right thing.
Fine.
Go and do the wrong thing, for once.
Are you sure?
He obviously really likes you,
and I don't want to stop yous from being happy, either of yous.
Yeah, well, what about you? Will you still go to prom?
It won't be fair if you miss out.
Yeah, well, I'm not really in the mood.
Honestly, Shola, I've got bigger things to worry about
than some boy and I'm missing out on prom.
So go before I change my mind.
Do you want to go to prom with me?
You sure. Yeah.
SHE MOUTHS
I heard about you and Ashton.
I don't know what that boy's thinking.
I think I should just keep boys as mates.
It never ends well, and it just wastes my time.
Or I could try lesbianism, like... Like who?
No-one.
Well, if I've ever met someone who's going to be just fine on their own,
it's going to be you. I mean, I missed you, you know?
I'm really happy you came back.
I wish you were my dad, instead of him.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
You know, there's going to be a lifetime of parties,
of boys to meet ahead of you.
You'll be OK.
I know.
Come on.
EXCITED CHATTER
Oh, hey, you came.
What have you done?
Gave him a taste of his own medicine.
See how he likes it.
You back, miss? I hope so. That Donovan's off his head.
He's gone proper psycho, miss.
Do you know where he is? I don't know.
You've drugged him. Oh, good and proper.
You are such an idiot. I told you to stay away from him.
Don't worry about that now.
Right, you get to prom, and don't say a word to anybody.
We need to find Darius now.
Where's Mog?
There, by the looks of it.
Finally.
Oh, it's all going off tonight.
Darius, what are you doing?
Get out!
What, you really think that's going to cover your tracks?
You're going to hurt somebody.
You've already hurt Nisha. This isn't me.
I didn't mean to.
You've been lying to her for a long time,
pretending that you're somebody that you're not.
What we had was real.
It IS real.
Oh, I don't understand why this is happening.
You've been drugged.
Who by?
That doesn't matter.
This is about you, not who did this to you.
How does it feel knowing that your head's not right,
but not knowing why?
Because that is what you did to me.
I didn't mean to.
Or course you did!
You don't accidentally do the things that you did.
You don't accidentally steal from the school funds,
and nobody accidentally covers up the truth behind a pupil's death.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right, Darius.
I know.
I know you lied about Hope.
The cakes just got mixed up.
I didn't know she had allergies.
All that time you saw what I was going through...
..you never said a word.
I made a mistake.
You've just tried to protract yourself,
rather than giving a grieving family the truth.
That's not a mistake. You are twisted. Twisted!
HE SOBS
I can still see her.
I dream about her every night.
I can hear her.
I can hear her, and she can't breathe.
You trying to get me to feel sorry for you?
It was an accident.
This is all about you again.
You again.
Just stop it, stop it, just stop, stop it, stop it.
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop!
WHIMPERS: I'm sorry.
She looks lovely.
Ahem!
So do you.
You gave me your dress for Portia?
We did the right thing coming, didn't we? Yeah. Of course we did.
You won, Jack.
We were never in competition, mate.
That was always in your head.
Maybe if it hadn't have been,
we wouldn't be sitting on the floor waiting for the police.
Are they going to arrest me?
Probably.
And when they arrive, I need you to be calm.
I'm going to tell them that you need help.
I just need Nisha and my baby.
Yeah, I think you might have lost both of them.
For now, anyway.
SIREN WAILS
And if you want any chance of getting them back, you need time.
Who is going to do it with me?
I was going to be such a good dad.
Maybe you still will be.
I'm so sorry, Jack, about the booze.
That was so low.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
But I'm OK now.
Look at me.
I'll find you help.
But, Darius, then it's up to you.
It's all right. He's calm. He's calm.
You don't need to get heavy with him, all right?
Miss, have you seen Luca?
No, sorry, Freddie.
Oh, do you think Luca thought Freddie was still going to
do the flashmob and left? Wait and see.

# How long will I love you? #
Can I cut in?
Yeah. Yeah, of course you can.
# ..Longer if I can
# How long will I need you?
# As long as the seasons need to
# Follow their plan... #
Did I just imagine that?
No. No, you definitely saw it, all right.
Hey, we could end up related.
Hey.
Don't look now, but Stella's here.
What's doing back? Well, it's a long story,
but you might have misjudged her. Me? Mm-hm.
The police have arrested Darius.
Oh.
Great to see you back, Stella.
I refused to believe that you were involved in anything underhand.
Ah, that's so lovely to hear.
THROUGH CLENCHED TEETH: You are unbelievable.
You all right, sir?
I just wanted to say sorry
for not believing you about Darius.
And I'm sorry that I grassed you up over the alcohol thing as well.
No, no, you were right, mate.
If you hadn't have done that,
I wouldn't have been forced into recovery.
So, what are we doing here, eh?
A manly handshake or a bro hug?
I think we need to address the elephant in the room.
What? I've literally had three slices.
No! We should have stayed with Stace, shouldn't we?
Oh, my God, I'm so glad you said that
because none of this feels right. Shall we go back?
Yeah. Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together
for Mr and Mrs McManus!
CHEERING
We decided we didn't want to miss the prom either.
Hey, dance?
# And feeling beautified
# Tonight I'm ready to dive
# Maybe it's the loving in your eyes... #
Thank you.
For...?
For being the one that always believed in me.
I always knew you were straight down the line.
Oh, not entirely.
Do you think I should do the right thing
and tell the police about Ben drugging Darius?
How are we defining "right" in this situation?
He lost his sister in the most horrific way, and his nan
came perilously close to being jailed for something she didn't do.
I think he deserves a pass, don't you?
Are you looking for a bro hug?
How about a dance?
Oh, yes.
# ..Tonight I'm ready to dive
# Maybe it's the loving in your eyes
# I'm here, see through
# Maybe it's the magic in the wine
# I'm feeling loose
# Maybe it's the fact that every time... #
People like me are never this happy.
Hey.
We'll be this happy for ever.
Yeah. Promise.
# ..I'm ready to dive... #
# It's OK to just admit that you're jealous of me... #
CHEERING
# ..That's the word on the street
# You're obsessing, just confess it Put your hands up
# It's obvious I'm your number one
