# Only, only, only
# The only way is up
# Baby
# For you and me now
# Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh! #
# From the ashes... #
Listen, can I come over? Yeah, have a seat.
I don't know if I wanna speak to you this second.
We're talking about you, not to you.
I've not shown you messages in a group chat. No.
Oh, my God, I'm gonna go mental.
# We'll break free From these chains... #
I had a text message from Ella...
Oh, OK.
..saying, like, she's hosting a... a dinner party tomorrow,
but then the back of my mind went straight...
I know what you're gonna say. What am I gonna say?
"Who's gonna be there?" Then I thought, d'you know what,
I'm not gonna go in straight away and be like,
"Is Joe and Junaid there?" What? Personally...
What? ..why would you go?
I feel like I still have to set some sort of boundary.
Yeah, and I think be civil, lovely, and say hello to 'em, whatever,
but going all for dinner...
Yeah.
Not really... Not really for you. No.
# I feel my soul It started burning
# There's an angel... #
So, are you and Amber all right? Amber got really upset.
Well, she knows she's guilty. No. No, I don't think so.
I think it was more... Well, she's the one that spoke.
So, someone somewhere is not telling the truth.
Do you believe that?
Come on, Elm, it ain't all Harry's fault,
and it ain't all Amy's fault.
Is Amy lying? Who...?
Amy's not lying.
# We'll spark into flame... #
Hello. Oh.
All right? Yeah, are you?
Good. How you been? All right?
Fine. Are you?
Yeah, all right, yeah. Good.
LAUGHING: Well, listen, enjoy your dinner.
HE LAUGHS
Well... Enjoy.
Mwah. See you later.
# We'll break free From these chains
# We'll break free From these chains. #
Mate, tell you what, a few more weeks,
we'll be able to sit out here, fire on, be lovely.
Cor, it's a shithole at the moment, though, innit?
Well, it's been left all winter... You've left it bad, Dan.
I'VE left it bad? You've left this....
I've left it bad. You're meant to keep...
You bought a cover for the furniture,
you didn't even bother to put it on.
How was your meal last night?
Do you know what? Lovely. Yeah?
We got quite deep, just talking about our future and stuff,
and to be honest with you, right now,
I think we're in the best place we've ever been, me and her,
and we don't really wanna change it too much.
But obviously, we are having to start to look at things
in the future - what our plans are, what we wanna do.
I think we're sort of, like, eyeing up
maybe at the end of Bear's school year,
that to be the sort of round time we move in with each other.
Just see how it works. Mm.
It coincides perfectly with him then starting a new year. Yeah.
So, I mean, she was looking at places
round by Junaid and Joe's. HE GRUMBLES
DAN CHUCKLES But I said somewhere closer to here.
Like there. I think that one's coming up for sale,
and that one just over there is up for sale.
I think there's one free over there, yeah.Yeah.
So, we'll start looking at that.
And then we were talking about kids and stuff,
and... I'm very 50-50.
Sometimes I'm like, yeah, 100%.
But then I said to her, there's no pressure,
know what I mean? It's like, it is what it is.
Yeah. I'm not gonna Jordan and Sophie it,
do you know what I mean?
And be, like, full blown trying-trying,
but if something happens, it happens.
That's how I'm gonna see it. Mm.
When, er... I think youse will have one, I do.
You think? Yeah, I can see youse having one.
It would be cool. Yeah.
Where d'you end up?
Er... CHUCKLES
Well, I went to get a takeaway. Yeah?
I went chip shop, and, er...
of all people walking out was... was El.
Oh.
How'd that...? How'd that go down? Yeah.
Er...
very short interaction, slightly awkward.
Erm...
Did you both do the silence where you don't really say anything
but you both look at each other and go...
Like...
There wasn't silence, no. I asked how she was, how she'd been.
No declarations of love, nothing like that? None of that.
Little bit weird, but... it was all right.
Well, listen, you're in a position
where you can't really be friends with her.
We've seen that. You tried it.
You tried it in Vietnam. It didn't work.
Mm. You've come back now. Listen...
You'd be lying to say it ain't a little bit sad.
Course it's a bit sad,
cos the whole thing was, at that time, a situation.
It's not nice to see anyone upset,
and she can't help how she feels about you, but... like you said,
for the best for you and your relationship,
you had to do what you had to do,
and now if you can pass by and say hello,
and someone's got a portion of chips in their hand and leave it at that.
Know what I mean? Need to get the bloody patio done
because we're gonna be having some barbecues and parties
before I get the fuck out of this place.
We'll have a good summer, and then, er...
Then we'll get serious. On to the...
On to the next chapter.
And then we get serious, but not yet.
DAN LAUGHS We've got one more summer in us yet.
Come on!
# My loneliness left the room The second that you walked in
# Something like a fever dream
# Haven't slept in weeks I think I'm seeing things... #
You have that one. Ready? Watch this trick.
Aw, look, Auntie Livvy's gonna turn round. Look.
LAUGHTER Aw, babe!
Quack-quack!
LAUGHTER It's a duck.
Hello. Hey.
Hi, love.
Oh, how are we all? Good. How are you?
Aw, I'm good. Right, go on, fill me in,
cos I really wanna know what's going on.
Oh, well, it's all just been a bit of a mess,
hasn't it, girls? Like... With who?
Just like... With the girls.
Elma. With the girls. Youse all know,
Elma's been one of my, like, my girls
for, like, so long now.
Like, she's one of the girls that I'd ring every day,
speak on the phone for hours.
Like, I'm gutted that this has happened,
and I know I do have a part to play in it,
but I feel like, as well, it's both-sided. Mm.
I feel like she's done some things, I've done some things. Yeah.
I'm taking my accountability,
and I'm gonna try and make things right.
The thing is, I've got my own little thing with Elma
at the minute. Oh, really?
Well, with both the girls.
I have sorted it out to somewhat extent,
like, don't get me wrong, but to be honest,
I felt like the girls was a bit more understanding with me.
With H, they was a bit more like,
"What you talking about? Da-da-da-da."
And it's all just escalated from here.
Do you think anyone's kind of acting like this
because you was all right with Joe and Junaid in Vietnam,
and they're probably thinking, "What the hell?"
Or not?
I-I really don't know what to make of it. Yeah.
Like I've said all along, like,
if you're my friends, you should be going,
"D'you know what, Harry?
"Look how far you've come." Exactly.
Like I said. "Well done." Like, that's it.
They should be happy that you're happy.
They shouldn't have the hump that you've become...
I don't feel like that's the issue, though, is it?
I feel like it's gone a bit further. Oh, no, of course.
But it might have started off a bit like,
"Is he joking?" Yeah.
Which I get, and people'll feel like,
"We were your friend,
"and then you're all right with them again."
Thank you. Yeah, but he's not all right.
He's just civil with 'em, know what I mean?
Without that animosity.
Walking into a room, and then... Makes my life easier.
Erm... like, listen, you obviously know I love Junaid.
I know not everyone feels like that,
and he is one of my very good friends,
but, obviously, we had the dinner the other night,
and it was called Rate My Plate. Mm-hm.
THEY LAUGH What did you give him, a zero?
Well, no, I would have, but I felt terrible.
I wouldn't dare! It was like...
THEY LAUGH
Was it bad? Did it have loads of garlic in it?
No, listen, Junaid can cook, right?
But the situation of travelling,
and he kept stopping and starting and whatever, and it just...
I just said, "I can't eat it."
Did he take it personally? Oh, yeah, I think he was...
Well, we haven't spoke since.
What? Are you joking?
No. Have you not spoke?
Well, that's unlike you two, innit? Exactly.
Wow. Everyone!
Right, get your bum here now.
So, since that dinner night...? Not a peep.
Just posted him and Jodie every day.
Oh, now they're new "best friends".
So, I'm like, "Listen, as long as you're all right,
"that's cool, there's not an issue, but talk to me."
Yeah. This is what Junaid does, though.
He befriends people, drops 'em out, goes to the other friend...
I don't think he's dropped me out. I think he's more upset.
Mm. Oh, God.
Are we all gonna make up with everyone and be friends?
Are you gonna make up with Junaid? I don't know.
I hope this is the case.
I hope everyone can just kiss and make up, but I just can't see it.
Yeah. Yeah.
# What can I say? What can I do?
# I'm tryna be the girl That you're talking to
# And maybe you can be my American Huh, huh, boy... #
Teas, ladies.
Aw, thank you. This one's yours.
Be careful, they're hot.
Oh, my God, I'm really scared that I'll spill it on your white...
Well, don't, OK?
# And maybe you can be my American Huh, huh. #
What's that look about?
You are not gonna believe what happened to me last night.
Why, what happened? Do you know?
Well, I obviously have been at the boys' house,
so I have had a little bit of an update.
The boys? Dan? Dani, listen to this.
I thought, "I'm gonna take myself down the chippy," right?
Love that. Get myself a nice sausage and chips.
Saveloy.
Walk out the chip shop, I'm like, "Whoa, hello."
Dan? Dan.
Have you seen each other since Vietnam?
No, we've not seen each other once.
Oh, you haven't seen each other since Vietnam?
Oh!
I feel like when I see him, like, there wasn't a lot said,
but it spoke a thousand words in itself.Mm.
Youse just have this weird thing where youse, like...
just stare at each other.
No, and that's what it was like. Like that.
And youse don't say much, but there's so much said
just by looking at each other. LAUGHS
It's really weird. It is so weird.
So, it was another stare-off? It was another stare-off.
Has it spun your head a little bit, or no?
With some, like, giggles. Like...
SHRIEKS Mm.
Makes you wanna bang your head against the wall.
So, when you see him,
did you get, like, a rush of... feelings?
Are you joking? I had to stop my legs from shaking.
Aw, babe, you're in love.
But I did get an anxious, like, nervous...
Do you think you do love him?
Is it obvious? Well, yeah.
But, like, when you're with him,
do you love him as much as when you're not with him?
Or do you love him because he's not there?
You're not with him? Yeah.
I think I'll always love him...
You'll always have something there for him. Yeah.
Even if he was my boyfriend, and even him not being my boyfriend,
I will always still hold a level of love for him.Yeah.
Like, I wouldn't say I'm "in love" with him.And that's fine.
I just feel like you need to find the balance
of, like, where it's not too deep.
Mm. Yeah.
Reminds me of even the situation with Jonnie a little bit.
Like, all the questions.
Cos I know youse are gonna ask, so...
THEY LAUGH I know youse are gonna ask,
so I might as well just say it.
The questions puts pressure on me, OK?
Well, you can ask.
No, no, to be fair, I went bowling with him.
Yeah, how did that go? Well, not just me and him.
Me, him, Joe and Elma.
That was fun, to be fair. So, was it a double date?
Nah, not a date.
It wasn't date vibes. Mate date?
I would just say mates going out.
Right.I just think that... just see how it goes.
I think the age thing has obviously put you off.
If I'm being completely honest, when I first met him,
I was like, absolutely no,
because all I thought of was the age.
I don't actually feel like the age bothers me.
I've gotta be honest. I don't.
For now, I do just feel like it's friends, not gonna lie. Yeah.
Bit of fun, a bit of harmless flirting.
Love him to bits. They're a laugh.
Just keep going how it is and try not to kiss him.
I mean, there weren't much flirting and stuff at, like, bowling,
but, like, I probably would still flirt with him and stuff.
I would. I know what I'm like. Fun.
Well, obviously, we've got Wills' party.
Soul night.
So, everyone's gonna be there, aren't they, at the party?
Yeah, they are. Yeah.
And Will's good at getting the crowd going.
Like, getting the vibe up and the energy.
I feel like it's what we all need. Mm.
No, it is true. It is true.
# I wish I knew how to quit you. #
# The only way is up. #
# What if it's midnight driving? What if it's heart rates rising?
# What if I stayed When you want me to go?
# These things never happen To no-one
# What if it's hypnotising? What if we just can't hide it... #
All right, crew. So, today's mission.
Love Town. Love Town. Love Town.
Sell 'em the dream. Love Town.
Biggest one in Essex, let's go.
I'll be like, "Oi, this is my..." Full of birds.
Let's rock and roll. Don't let anyone down.
Saff, show the crew how it's done. Yeah, obvs.
Chelmsford, anyone up for it? # Love Town, Love Town, Love Town. #
This is Love Town special.
Will Childs is gonna be singing his heart out.
Mate, a little Love Town special for you.
Here, girls, Love Town night. Come on.
Come on, girls.
Excuse me. Can I interest you in an event my friend's hosting?
It's classic '80s. It's right up your street, I reckon.
Love Town soul special,
taking you back all the way to the '80s.
Will Childs. That's what I like to see.
You were there in the '80s. Let's have a singsong, come on.
I'll throw in a free drink for you. Lovely.
Lovely. See you there, yeah?
He must like the '70s.
Hey, Wills, I'm double decent at this, mate.
You ain't doing too bad.
I could sack off the building site for this.
"I've sacked off the building site"!
# What if it's hypnotising? What if we just can't hide it?
# What if our love's Straight up cinematic?
# Whoa I wanna watch how it happens... #
Hi.
Come in.
I've got a decaf tea. Do you want it?
What, mine? Yeah.
I was gonna throw it out. You want one?
Was you really? Yeah, please. Well, I don't drink decaf tea,
and the only reason I had it was for you.
But did you miss me, or not?
LAUGHS: Lauren!
Why is it so awkward? So awkward.
I feel really uncomfortable. Why do you feel uncomfortable?
I just feel like we haven't spoken.
I feel like the silent treatment has made things weird,
and I don't want it to be.
Yeah, but do you...?
Like, do you know why, or have you thought about why?
Well, obviously cos of the... I said that I didn't like the pasta.
Yeah.
But it was a game. It's not about it being...
It's not about it being a game, Lauren.
It's about my feelings.
Yeah, but I'm not that friend that's gonna sugarcoat your ego
and be like, "This is amazing." It's not about sugarcoating my ego.
Yeah, but, Junaid, it was a pasta.
Yeah, but, Lauren, it's also... And you knew...
Did you...? Did you like it?
No, but that wasn't...
At the end of the day, it wasn't my finest of meals,
and you've had plenty of my food before.
It was lovely.
Then you're sat there, saying it's disgusting.
Yeah, because I was more winding you up.
It was Rate My Plate. It was a game. Yeah, but, Lauren...
I wouldn't... Listen. I wouldn't come round here
and have dinner and go, "This is vile."
It was part of the game.
We was out of our houses, we was at Ella's dinner party.
I was hangry, I was starving. Yeah, so was I.
And I was like, "I can't even eat this."
Well, I know, and listen,
I would never intentionally wanna hurt you,
and I think it just went a bit far.
And obviously... the sulking.
LAUGHING: What do you mean? You just sulked for days.
Lauren! I didn't sulk. Why didn't you just ring me and go,
"You pissed me off last night." Why didn't you call me and be like,
"I could tell you was feeling a certain type of way."
Cos I'm not chasing you. I'm not chasing you!
You wanna act like a child, I'll treat you like one.
You wanna be unsupportive, I'll let you do your thing.
I supported you from day one.
100%, you have been a good friend to me, but...
HE LAUGHS
It's funny. You should have done this the other night.
Yeah, but...Why did you not laugh at me the other night?
I was in a very different mood the other night.I know.
I was hangry. Mm.
Today, I'm in good spirits. Good.
And I'm sorry if I did upset you, because it was a joke,
and maybe it did get a bit more serious.
What was that I heard? Did you say sorry?
Oh, please. Lauren Goodger saying sorry?
I never thought I'd ever... Don't say that!
Junaid, I've been here for you when you've had no friends.
All right, fucking hell! Before Joe, I've had your back.
Yeah. I've had your back.
Yeah, no. And I've fought your corner.
Yeah.And I've stuck up for you to everyone,
and that would still continue if we spoke or didn't,
but I miss you. I miss you too.
And I love you lots. I love you.
And you are my number one, still.
Love you. OK?
Thanks for coming over. Thanks for having me.
HE CHUCKLES Until the next one.
# No nightmares
# When you can still see the light
# Can't find me
# I'm not in the city tonight
# It's that midnight sun-kissed skin Under the red sky
# Laying on your chest like this
# Hold me like the pebbles In your hand
# Initials in the sand... #
CHEERING
# Skinny-dipping with your heart out It's my favourite part now
# We ain't gotta tell no-one
# A never-ending midnight sun... #
Right, so, boys, tonight is my night.
I'm buzzing for it, mate. Are you singing?
Is he singing? It's his event. It's my event.
I ain't heard a fucking tune yet. Yeah, hang on a minute.
Kanye West don't come on at the beginning.
No, of course. You're the main event.
Dan, thank you.He don't come out at the start, like.
You don't see Craig David come on at seven o'clock at night, do you?
He don't open the show does he? No. I'm the main event, mate.
I am so sorry, Will.
# Oh, yeah, yeah
# Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
# How can I dance When you tie my hands up
# Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
# How can I l-l-love If you keep me in chains? #
Have youse been to a little Wills Childs night yet?
No. No, I haven't. Soul socials.
No, but I can't wait. Honestly, they are the best nights.
I don't think I've missed one. Well, I might have missed one,
but I've definitely been to all of 'em.
They are such a good night, like, to the point, like...
Do you know, he's such a crowd pleaser.
Entertainer. Yeah. Such an entertainer, like,
he will get everyone on their feet, dancing. Everyone going.
Oh, really? It's such a good night.
Be nice to get everyone together, and just, like, dancing
and having good vibes
and forgetting all the negativity today.
No drama today, please. No!
I don't think there's gonna be any drama. Yeah.
I mean, I've not caught up with youse.
I've seen you, but I've not caught up with youse in...
since Vietnam. How are youse?
Well, we don't really have anything going on, do we? No.
We're drama-free over here.
Really? Yeah.
Don't know about that. Ooh!
Ooh, is there something that you know that I don't?
No. THEY LAUGH
I hope we're gonna have an actually good night,
and all be together... Yeah.
..and not the divide. Yeah.
I mean, yeah, I've been OK. I've been good.
Erm, obviously there's a little bit of, like... drama going on.
Yeah, we have heard. With Elma, right?
Well, I mean, we haven't really, really spoke.
We've spoke once since Vietnam.
Oh, no. Is it bad, or is it not..?
It's not bad. No, it's not bad. Right, so it's solvable?
It... I think it's very, very solvable.
It's turned into a game of "he said, she said"
and Essex whispers. I feel like you've had such a nice friendship,
and it'd be such a shame to just chuck it all away,
and I feel like time's a healer.
You just need to give each other the time, and...
Yeah. Yeah.
It's really sad that Soph and Jord aren't here.I know.
Oh, are they not coming? Jordan's been really poorly.
He's so poorly. Ella, he's so ill.
No, I spoke to Soph this morning, and it sounds, like, not good.
Yeah, I saw on socials, and then I thought I was worried,
cos I thought, she's having a baby, you know what I mean?
They're meant to be going on their little babymoon today.
Have they not gone? They can't go.
They're meant to be going to the Maldives.
Jordan's in hospital.
It's really... They've done all tests...
Hi!Hey! Oh, hello.
Hey, hey, hey. Hi.
Hello. How are you?
Glitz and glam, too. Hello, how are you? You OK?
Shall we air kiss? How are you?
There's too many of you to go around and kiss you all.
Yeah, Joe's not in the mood.
No, I really am, I really am, I'm just...
Youse all look lovely. Everyone looks nice.
You look lovely. How are youse?
Honestly, I... You got your sparkle back.
This is Junaid. I've not seen this for a while.
I just feel so confident in myself. I feel so happy.
All good, though?
Yeah, all good. How...? I love this outfit.
Thank you. Love. No, you do look unreal.
Thank you. Aw, thank you. You've got really good swag.
Erm... Do youse mind if I talk to the boys on my own?
Yeah. Is that all right?
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Sorry, I'll talk to youse in a bit. Oh, God.
It's fine, guys.
I'll come and see youse in a bit. Fine.
Oh! Youse OK?
Yeah, good. I'll just be completely honest and open.
Obviously, when we left Vietnam,
I thought we was in such an amazing space with you,
like, we had that time at the bar, we had a laugh.
It was overall an amazing trip. Yeah, I don't regret it.
And we got to a stage where it was just so nice to be around you.
Did I expect that to happen coming back to Essex?
Maybe a little bit. I maybe wanted that kind of...
What do you mean? Just, like...
When it was Rate My Plate, I was looking forward to seeing you,
and when you didn't come,
I was just a little bit, like... just a bit upset
cos I thought, "I hope things don't go back to how they have been."
Know what I mean? Listen, like, don't get me wrong,
like, Vietnam was lovely.
We was all under the same roof, enjoying our time together.
I feel like we've all grown so much, as well, like, I feel like...
I dunno about you,
but I feel like it's healed us all a little bit, like...
Yeah, no, I definitely feel a bit healed.
I... Yeah, I feel like it's a nice thing,
and I think I don't want you to ever feel like in situations
where you can't come cos of us.
I always want you to feel welcome, and I genuinely mean that. Yeah.
Listen, I'm happy where we're at. I'm happy that we're civil.
I feel like things like this, we can say hello,
we can be in big group settings on nights out,
and I think that's absolutely fine. Yeah, sweet.
I think for me,
I did say to youse a couple of times in Vietnam, we're not mates.
Yeah, we know that. I did say that to youse.
Yeah. No, we know.
And I've come under the impression that I've come home,
and then everyone thinks we're best mates,
we'll run into the sunset. No. Know what I mean?
And I feel like, oh, my God... I still need to have my boundaries.
Yeah, and I think it's really important
that we do have boundaries in place because I think if...
And I think an intimate dinner is a step too far at the minute.
Fair enough. Yeah, that's fine.
Do you know what I mean?
And yeah, I totally respect that, one million per cent.
I think the boundaries are important. Hundred per cent.
I'm happy that we are moving forward.
I don't want youse to think me not going out for dinner
is a step backwards, cos it's actually not.
No, do you know what it was for me?
Obviously, everyone... When I was talking to the boys and stuff...
Obviously, you've had quite in-depth conversations with Amy.
Amy's got her opinion on stuff, and obviously you and Amy... Listen.
Are people still wary?
I can't change her opinion. Yeah.
She was the one picking me up from the floor when shit went down.
And I don't want you to feel like we want you to change Amy's opinion.
This isn't what this is about. Yeah.
I think what this is about is
we don't want you to... almost, like, think,
"Oh, I regret that,"
cos I think it was a good thing for us all.
Oh, I don't regret that. I've never ever said I regret it.
Yeah, good. A hello, a goodbye.
Yeah. "Love your outfit."
It's all good.
Cheers to that. But yeah. Cheersy-cheers.
Cheers. Let's have a lovely night.
# You're so mature
For your age, babe. #
# The only way is up. #
WILLS: Go crazy for Wills! Go crazy! Come on!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, come on, crew!
Right, Love Town, you ready? Let's go. Let's take it.
ACB!
SONG: 'Would I Lie To You?'
Right, ladies and gentlemen,
is everyone ready in the house tonight?
# Mm-mm-mm
# Now they tell you nothing Would I lie to you, baby? #
Right, everyone, let's go!
# Look into my eyes Can't you see they're open wide

Hey!
Oh! He's good. Oh!
Go. Get it in.
CHEERING 3-1.
Liven 'em up here.
Oh! LAUGHTER
Come on!
You greasy-haired slag. LAUGHTER
That didn't go in. Walk off.
Where is Josh? You love Josh, don't you?
Oh, I love him. Do you fancy him?
No. He's a good-looking boy, though.
Do you think? Too young.
Well played. Well played. Good game, good game, good game.
That was a good game. Good game. Good game, lads.
WILLS: I enjoyed that. DAN:Do you know what that is?
That's 15 years of friendship. We were good, though.
We didn't deserve that. Imagine us as a duo.
We'd smash these two out the park. They're fucking weird.
We done all right. Yeah, you done well.
We... We done well. Done well.
You... Not really.
I mean, the thing is,
you've got a partnership of 15 years, know what I mean?
It's only early doors, innit? I met Josh... six months ago.
I'm just getting to know him. It's true.
We've done well, didn't we? And what do you think about him?
I like him. Really?
He looks unbelievable. LAUGHTER
Really? His personality's all right,
but he looks unbelievable tonight.
Looks good. Personality ain't there yet.
We'll get there. We'll get there. He looks unbelievable.
So glad to see you.
I know, I was late,
cos I put on the outfit, I went, "Urgh," in the mirror.
But why? No, I love that outfit. Urgh.
No, I "urghed" myself. That was me this morning.
That was me this morning, yeah.
It's a very "urgh" day. I've felt like that all month.
We're on our period the same time, so it would make sense.
Wills' night's always the best. I've never been.
Oh, yeah, no. I've heard all about 'em.
The party's gonna get going in a minute. Let's just warm up.
Yeah, mm. I'm excited. I feel like it's good vibes.
Yeah, everyone seems in a good place.
Yeah. They do.
So, what was happening with Joe and... Junaid and Harry?
What's gone on there?
Well... Has it cleared again?
It's cleared, but Harry's done exactly what I thought.
Backtracked? And says, "I'm civil,
"but going to a intimate dinner, we can't hang out."
But he's got a lot more going on, in't he?
Well, he does seem a bit quiet, obviously,
and he did say about Elma.
Well, he ain't talking to many of us.
Since this has happened with Elma, I just think,
"What are you doing to your close mates?
"Why are you falling out with your close mates?"
Well, he doesn't wanna, does he? Cos he sent her flowers.
Mm. And she's not text him.
She ain't received... I know, I know she's really upset,
cos obviously, we've seen her,
but I think he's like, "The ball's in her court."
He wants that friendship, but...
He should have thought about it, I think.
At the end of the day, Lol, this all boils down
to Amber telling Harry what was said in that group chat.
Amber should never have relayed that as a friend... Course.
..to Harry, which then went and told Amy,
which then went and told me and Elma.
What's Amber saying?
She's fine with everyone, isn't she?
Absolutely fine with everyone.
I feel like something's brewing.
At the minute, Amber's got off scot-free
when really she's been... instigated it. Right.
She calls everyone else out, Lol. Everyone. Mm.
How many times have I been called a shit mate?
My delivery. This, that, the other. Yeah.
And I just think, like... Pfft, I don't know.
Elma is over there, by the way.
Oh, no. Harry, you need to sort this out.
This needs to be absolutely...
It needs to be done now, Harry. Honestly, it really does.
Be the better person and go over there.
She's sitting there right now. You need to talk to her, Harry.
Listen, if it don't work out... I just don't... You know what it is?
I don't, I just... I just don't want her to be like, "Nah."
She's not gonna be like, "Nah," Harry,
cos when she saw me the other day, she was really upset, Harry.
OK.
You all right on your own? Good luck.
Just go over there. Love you.
Like, falling out with your friends is just, it's the worst thing ever.
It's the worst thing in the world. It is.
OK, girls?
Oh, hello. Hello. You OK?
Do you mind if I sit down? Yeah, of course.
Oh, how are youse? Yeah, good, how are you?
Oh! Good, thank you.
I just wanna start off by saying I appreciate the flowers.
I didn't text you, obviously,
cos I didn't wanna say, "Thank you for the flowers,"
and it kind of dismisses everything that I'm feeling,
but they were... That's OK. I didn't expect a reply.
HE CHUCKLES
Oh, OK. I think this is good that he's gone over.
Yeah. It looks nice.
I feel like with your friend, you need to talk about it
there and then, no texting,
you just can't hear people's tone of voice
and things get twisted.
I actually wanted to send you just something
as an olive branch to say...
I am sorry about everything that's gone down.
I don't... I don't like the way this has all gone.
This has gone really, really stupid,
and the last thing I ever want in this world -
to fall out with my girls, especially Elma.
I feel her body language... She's off. Elma's off.
..is off. Elma's so off. She's leaning back.
This is so fucking dramatic. No, she is leaning back.
No, but that's the thing.
If you're sat like this... Shh! Don't.
Can I just ask you one thing?
You know in that note, you said, like,
"Sorry for everything that happened."
Like, what are you actually sorry for?
I'm sorry for... because I feel like I do have a part to play
in what's gone down with me and you.
This wouldn't have started if I never had said anything.
I don't think it would have, no. No, it wouldn't have started.
Can I tell you from my perspective? Yeah, of course.
From my perspective, obviously, you accused me of being a mole,
which... No, I... No.
I have never called you a mole.
OK, well, this... I wanna clarify that completely.
So, is Elma gonna forgive him, or whatever?
Who knows? I don't know. Not what she's been saying to me.
I said there was a mole in the group.
That wasn't directed at you.
But it was, because in Vietnam you said to me
you felt like it was me because I speak to Saffron.Yes.
But I also never pinpointed you,
and I also said that I know Freddie speaks to Saffron,
and I know Junaid also speaks to Saffron. Mm.
Do you know when I see youse at the restaurant that day?
We was all having drinks with the girls.
Everything you were telling me, I was like, "What? What? What?"
I couldn't take it in, and I was sitting there,
processing everything that you were saying,
and you were so angry. I felt like...
Harry I've been... I feel like I've been "deceited" by my friends.
Amy was saying to me,
"I've told Harry not to trust you for the last three to six months."
I was like, "We spoke on the phone every day,"
I'm so confused where this has come from.
This is why I'm confused, cos we spoke every day.
Right, but you've obviously told Amy something
for her to give you the advice of not to trust me.No.
Like, Harry is a grown man. Amy doesn't have to look after him.
Obviously, she's gonna, naturally. She has that duty, yeah.
But... She feels like she has to.
I don't want her to feel like she has the pressure of it,
cos Harry can defend himself.
She probably does. I feel sorry for Amy.
I feel like she does feel the pressure. Yeah.
For you to think, out of all people, that I would ever sit there
and slag you off to people I know
that categorically don't like you is actually beyond me.
I know if I pulled up any single person and said,
"Have I ever said anything bad about Harry...?"
Don't get me wrong, last couple of weeks... Have I?
Yeah, course I have. Yeah, and this is why...
Before that, I would never, and it upset me more
the fact that you think that that is what I am about
because we were meant to be friends. No.
Why would I be friends with you for six months?
That's what I'm asking, Harry, cos to me, it looks fake.
I said this to you the other day.
Why would I be friends with you for six months if I said to you,
"I have not trusted you for six months"?
That's madness, that. Do you know where the problem lies?
It's, like, you've obviously spoken to Amy.
Amy's then relayed whatever you've said to Elma. No, but...
Elma's like, "What the hell's going on?" No, no...
I'll be honest. Know what we're playing here?
We're playing a game of Essex whispers.
I'm gonna go cos I feel like... We've also...
Youse need to have this chat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cos it's between youse.
I'll see youse in a bit.
Listen, can you imagine, you're screaming at me
in a restaurant, going to me, "You're a liar! You're a liar!"
Because you are.
I haven't lied about anything. I haven't lied about anything.
I don't wanna keep blaming Amy cos Amy's not made this all up.
I haven't lied about anything.

You did turn around and say, "I didn't ignore you for four days,"
when you did ignore me for four days.
Listen, I was distant with you,
but I never ignored you for four days, never ever...
Harry, I promise... OK, well, I'm telling you how I felt.
You ignored me. That's how you felt.
But I never ignored you for four days.
I would never, ever ignore you, Elma. I don't know what...
That really hurts me that you think...
Harry, I'm not going mad,
and you made me feel like I was going mad.
Listen, I'm sorry if I made you feel like that.
It's getting heated.
With who? Elma and Harry.
Listen, I just think it's wrong that... Yeah.
..Harry's got a new problem with Elma, which is this group chat,
that Amber has told him, right?
No-one's a mind reader, so I just think,
how has Amber got out of this, but they're still rowing about it?
Right. And I think someone should say to her, "Hold on a minute,
"you're the first person to pull everyone up.
"You've caused a lot of this." OK.
And I just think... Are you gonna tell her?
Yeah, cos...
Well, Lol, at the end of the day, I've been picking up the pieces.
Elma's my friend. No, I know.
But she's been crying for a week. It's bad. Yeah.
She was there for me last year. Right.
Amber was the first to say I'm a shit mate.
So now you're being that friend. Yeah.
Right. And listen, it is what it is.
And you're gonna say what needs to be said to Amber. Mm.
If you said, "Elma, you've been acting strange,"
I'd be like, "Fucking hell, what did I do to make him think that
"cos I must've done something wrong cos he'd never say that about me."
That's my perspective. You've gone on the defence -
"I ain't acting strange, I didn't do this..."
Yeah, I probably have gone in defence, yeah.
Yeah, I know, but that, for me, makes me feel so uncertain, Harry,
because we did speak every single day, we were very, very close.
When you needed someone to... a shoulder to cry on...
And I'd never throw it back at you cos I love the bones off you,
and I would do that 20 times over.
We laugh, we cry together, that is a friendship,
but for me to hear that you're then upset with the fact
that I've called you strange and you've got a bee in you bonnet,
I've got Amy telling me across the table about this group chat.
I never said... From my perspective,
I thought, "Why's he not reached out?"
I hope they make up.
I never... Toes and fingers crossed.
If I could cross them right now, I would. Same, I would.
THEY LAUGH
Oh.
Oh, my God, where's Saffron going? Oh!
She's going to Amber and Becks. Oh, she's going.
Oh, gosh, here we go. Oh, shit.
Let's see how this goes. You all right, girls?
All right, Saffy-Waffy? Hello.
Do you mind if I talk to Amber? No, of course.
Go and sit with Amy. I'll go sit with Ame, yeah?
How are you? Yeah, I'm all right. You?
Yeah, I'm good.
I've heard you're right upset
because you've been called a shit mate.
Mm... No-one's called me a bad mate.
Oh? It's not what I've heard, but...
No-one's called me a bad mate to my face.
Hmm.
This is a recipe for disaster, these two talking,
because there's a lot of problems. There's a lot of drama.
Built-up tension? There's a lot of built-up tension
over the years with Saffron and Amber.
What is going on? I don't know.
So, did you...?
Did you tell Harry about the group chat?
No. I told him about the group chat.
I told him there was a group chat,
and I told him what we were talking about,
in the terms of Harry being at the bar
with Joe and Junaid cheersing shots, but that's all I told him.
I just don't understand, Amber,
that, like, Amy has said you've been...
Amy's now saying she's not said it, by the way. I know.
So many times. I know. The thing about it is...
I know what I have and haven't done. ..you've got off scot-free.
Know what I mean? I've not got amnesia.
I am not doubting what I have and haven't done.
You don't know what... I think you're a liar.
You think I'm a liar? Yeah.
OK, that's fine. You can think I'm a liar.
Listen, at the end of the day, they've both backtracked.
Who has? Harry and Amy.
Amy has told us five times,
"Amber's been in his ear. Amber's been in his ear."
She don't get that from nowhere. Been in his ear?
Been in his ear about what? About Elma.
Why...? And that is why he...
That's their version. Let's understand one thing.
For a second, just think about it. Yeah.
Logically, why would I want two of my friends to argue?
Don't know.
She thinks that Amber is repeating stuff to Harry
that he shouldn't be saying.
And then it's caused a problem between Harry and Elma,
and now I don't... It's all confusing.
Yeah, but I have a part to do with this. Why?
Cos I'm relaying information wrong, no?
Why, what have you said? I don't remember.
LAUREN LAUGHS
Harry had the hump cos he thought she was relaying stuff wrong.
I told Harry, I went,
"You haven't got to be acting that dramatic about stuff
"cos I don't think it's that deep that Elma's told us in a group chat
"what you've been up to cos it was gonna get back to us either way."
I don't think it's that deep.
I said he didn't need to react that bad.
I don't think she's being a gossip.
I don't think she's being a mole. I said this.
But what I haven't done and what I'm not gonna be made out to doing
is being made out that I've dobbed my friend...
You have been made out... I haven't...
Just to say, you've been... It's fine, I can be...
Not by me, by them. OK.
But you're coming over to me with a bit of ra-ra-ra,
telling me that I've... Not ra-ra-ra.
You're the first person to judge people.
I judge people if they need to be judged.
You are not a perfect princess. You come over to me last year,
told me I'm a shit friend, speak to me like shit.
You are a shit friend! No, I'm not a shit friend.
You are a shit friend. Judge fucking Amber Turner
and her jury! Shh!
You've got a protege over there. Come on.
Oh, you've done the shush! Yes! Shh! Shh!
Oh, no, not the shush.
Why is it kicking off? Always does.
SHOUTING CONTINUES IN DISTANCE
I've waited for that for so long! I know. Needed to come out so bad.
So long. Baby, you are such a judge. Everything's gone so quiet.
It's gone quiet because... OK, go away, then!
No, I don't wanna go away. Why have you come over?
I don't wanna go away. You was a shit friend to Chloe!
Ra-ra-ra, that's what you said to me.
You got muggy first. You was a shit friend to Chloe!
You've been a shit friend to Elma! No, I haven't!
Yes, you have! No, I haven't!
And then writing about me in a group chat three weeks ago.
You dobbed your fucking mate...
For liking a comment. Yeah, you fucking did!
I didn't! You did!
SHOUTING CONTINUES Amber, shut up.
You made your friend cry! Shit friend!
You don't need to be here, girls. Yeah, but...
She's just told me I'm ra-ra-ra.
You got muggy. You was ra-ra-ra-ing!
And you're ra-ra-ing all the time! Nothing to do with you!
It is, because she's my mate, and you've dobbed her.
So boring, babe. And you're boring.
You're so boring. You're boring!
SHOUTING CONTINUES We'll talk in a bit, yeah?
You're literally so boring,
I can't even listen to you "mah" any more.
Where is your protege? Boring!
Where's your protege? Boring.
Where's your protege?
What's happened? What happened? What was said?
Harry? I don't know.
Don't piss me off. Amber!
The audacity to call me a shit mate. Are you joking?
I'll die for my friends. You're not a shit mate.
Tell her you don't trust her! ELMA:I did.
No, she thinks you're fine! Tell her you don't trust her.
Told me time and time again, you don't trust her!
I don't trust anyone! If you don't trust anyone...
I trust you. No, no, no... Calm. Calm.
I'm fine. Calm. Calm? It's not worth it.
You're fine. Stop it. Chill.
Do you want a drink? Yeah, we'd love one.
Want a drink? I'm having a drink! Yeah! Yeah, I do want a drink.
What do you want? Wine?
A vodka Coke. Vodka?
I don't know where to fucking look! It's quite tame, to be honest.
Why...? Why has she had to say that, all that, to Amber?
What benefit and what gain has she got out of doing that?
Listen, it's...
This is bad, but you've half just got to let them do it.
Yeah. Cos it's been this build up and build up and...
I've said my bit.
I can't keep saying he said, she said.
No, you can't. And you and Elma are fine.
It has to come from the horse's mouth.
You did... I'm... I'm...
Listen, I'm fine. LAUREN EXHALES
But I am so sick of being judged by that thing.
The point of the matter is, the reason why you're so riled up,
and I think the reason why I was so riled up and I was so upset,
is because at the end of the day, something did come from somewhere.
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not,
this is a whole blase thing of...
It come from somewhere. It come from somewhere.
We're not stupid. Amy told us it come from Amber.
I know you're friends with Saffron,
but I'll tell you one thing, I do see Saffron for who people are.
I do not like Saffron.
She is too fucking busy.
She did deny that she has wrote anything in that group...
she's relayed that group chat. Yeah.
She's going, "I did relay
"the Joe and Junaid stuff." She did. That's what she said to me.
"I did relay that it was called the Dominican group."Yeah.
"But I haven't said about the strange, weird, da-da-da."
I said, "But they know." They know.
I said, "These people are not mind readers. They know."
She swears... All of a sudden, now they don't know.
But that's another story in itself. Yeah.
And then she's just started to be muggy,
and then it was like... I said, "You called me a shit mate,
"but you've been a shit mate." She didn't like it.
It's never gonna be solved with her. No!
So, we're here... But it's not even about that.
What's frustrating, I think, is...
like, not even that long ago, a year ago,
we were all able to be civil, we'd sat at a table together,
and I think what's frustrating is, again, it boils down to Harry.
Where's he gone? Oh, he's here. What's happened with you and Harry?
Tell him to come here. Just now, at the table. God.
Come here. You!
Me? I don't wanna talk to you.
Why are you so aggressive?
Both, come here.
HARRY SIGHS Let's go.
LAUREN SIGHS It's a lot.
AMY: Why's everyone arguing?
So, Ame, Ame, with all due respect,
I love you, but it is basically because of you and Harry.
Right, let's calm.
I thought it was over. BECKS:Oh, no.
She needs to get a brush round that hair.
I kept seeing the gap, and it was getting on my nerves.
We should sit this one out. You think I'm going over again?
I'm not. I can't be arsed. I've said my bit.
It shouldn't have got like that with me and Amber, but it did.
Listen, from my point of view,
you've opened up to Amy, your cousin, granted.
Yeah. You've then...
Amy forgets what she's said to us, right?
She's told us that Amber's been in your ear about Elma, right?
Never. OK, well...
She's only told me about the group chat.
I feel like me and Elma was on the road to something a minute ago,
and then you've kicked off at a bar,
and then we've all lost conscious of it.
I'm gonna be honest with you, Harry, I don't think we were.
The point of the matter is,
you turned around to me and said to me,
"There's a group chat that's been made specifically about Harry,
"and in that group chat, you've called Harry weird." I said...
It wasn't specifically about Harry.
Oh, God, Elma's really irate. Elma's irate. Elma's irate.
All right, well, fine. It was... It wasn't specifically about Harry.
It was a group chat that you had in Dominican Republic,
and you relit it up again.
So I've relayed it wrong. I'm so sorry, guys. It's my fault.
I just feel like you knew way too much about that group chat.
I feel like Amy just gets caught up in all of...
Harry's drama. ..Harry's drama.
And it's probably taken a toll on her,
and she's probably fed up of it. Look.
Agh! That's what I said to you. I wasn't in Vietnam!
I don't know what's going on! Listen, he said, she said.
If we all spoke about this weeks ago, we wouldn't be here right now.
Why didn't you talk to her weeks ago?
I put out the olive branch. You were so upset.
I put out the olive branch.
I've seen her since. No, I don't think you did, Harry.
You're stressed, you're stressed. You're upset, you're angry.
You're hurt, you're whatever, both feeling so bad at the minute,
so just sort this out once and for all.
You're sitting going, "She said, and she said..."
No, it's not... This ain't working, is it?
JUNAID:Oh, my God, this is mad.
Oh, God, he looks stressed. BECKS: Oh, my God.
I'm in shock.
Everyone loses their head, and everyone can't talk
and everyone's going, wah-wah-wah! Everyone's lost it.
