This programme contains strong language
from the start and throughout.
I wish Tristan never left. I think obviously in hindsight,
I feel a bit of a fool. Did I make the right choice?
You come across so shady, honestly. How is that shady?!
Babe, I'm actually embarrassed for you.
Kiss the person you fancy the most.
Harvey.
Yeah, I'd love to hang out. Maybe some tennis lessons.
I'll text you and book in. OK.
Did you forget to say something along the lines of,
"Actually, I'm quite interested in Freddy"?
So, what about you and Temps?
There's so much pressure, he's falling out with people -
like, it's just so, like, negative.
I feel like eight years of that friendship was worthless.
She's making me very, very happy.
I don't want to hear it and I don't want to see you together.
I don't want to be friends with you any more.
I'm really looking forward to this weekend.
I can't wait to get away with you. And you might finally get lucky.
Everything about you is calculated.
I hope he's not having his cake and eating it.
Wait, are they actual diamonds?
I'm not your worry, the other girl is.
My hands are clean. I didn't do anything.
Is this a thing?
No, no. No.
She was having doubts. She was having a wobble.
He's digging himself a hole.
Another thing I've got to deal with. Why are you fucking me over?
I thought we were cool.
She's allowed to be wary, but she doesn't have to be a bitch.
Are you understanding? Fucking hell, fuck you.
Happy birthday.
Yes, Bels.
How was the US? Are you glad to be back?
It's London, it's Chelsea - who doesn't miss Chelsea?
I'm so glad I just spontaneously was like, "Right,
"Emily, I'm coming to Ibiza."
She was umming and ahhing about coming,
and we had the best time, didn't we?
Yeah, I'm actually,
I'm happy to see you all, but I'm so upset to be back here.
How was it...?
I can't believe I didn't see you out there.
Yeah, I know. You've been busy.
Didn't I see a private jet at one point?
What the hell was going on there?
Yeah, we did. We did. I lost my PJ virginity.
Ah, I bet you did! And I'll lose it again 100 times.
I'm not getting on a normal flight again. THEY LAUGH
What's going on with you and Lauren?
Cos I walked past... Honestly. ..the bar and all I heard was
you and Lauren having, like, this massive argument.
I... Honestly, Lauren shocked me.
I went to meet with Tristan to kind of clear things up.
I'm not having the girl that he's dating
coming to give me all this attitude.
And she kept saying, "Me and Tristan are so happy together,
"and you're trying to meddle.
"You're shady."
I'm like, "If you're so happy together,
"why are you getting so angry at me?"
The fact that she's saying, "We're so happy,"
I'm pretty sure Tristan is dating other girls as well.
Oh, really? Yes.
Just don't really understand Tristan's perspective,
because shouldn't he be focusing on dating Lauren?
He's... Yeah, he's digging himself a huge hole.
Hey!
Bella, that's a lovely skirt.
Rez, can you just stop?
That's... That's genuinely good.
Do it with me. So romantic.
Is it? Are you having a good time here? Yeah.
Ready?
You two need a room, mate. THEY LAUGH
Anyway... Oh, mate. No, joking aside, like,
it's nice that you brought Bella, but, like, why?
Bella and I have been... Bella and you have been what?
Bella and I, we... I've been sleeping with Bella.
That's great. I think this time, it's different
in the sense that I'm not shouting from the rooftops like,
"Yeah, yeah, we're both single. It's super chilled, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah."
We've made that mistake before. Yeah.
I think we're just taking it very slow,
and this time I want it to be different.
I just want to explore where it goes. Yeah.
And I just CBA with anyone else getting involved,
which is why I've kept it very low-key.
That's a good thing. I think Bella's great. So do I.
I think she's a really cool girl, and she's into you, and, like,
I really enjoy spending time with her.
I like the man you are with her as well, I have to say. Yeah.
Bella's been the only girl that I've had this feeling for
since Ruby, for sure.
Like, I know that, and that's...it's taken me that time to realise that.
So, I don't know.
We've just been kind of enjoying this...
Yeah. ..without anyone knowing.
I'm happy for you, man.
I actually invited my mate Jazz.
We were speaking before I went to America. Your mate?
Yeah, she's my mate.
She's a cool girl. She's really pretty. She's awesome.
"She's awesome." AMERICAN ACCENT: She's awesome.
She's awesome, dude. Oh, God.
Well, Freddy, this is exciting.
No, don't make it weird, cos people like to do that.
Don't make it weird. Freddy, I'm not going to make it weird. You will.
So, how was the US? I could not have been happier.
I mean, I was skydiving,
I went to a rodeo, did the odd museum.
Freddy! Hello! Hello.
Hi. Nice to see you.
How are you? I'm good, yeah. This is Robbie.
Hi! I'm Jazz. And, Robbie, that is Jazz.
Nice to meet you. What's up? How was America?
America was sick. I was just telling Robbie everything about it.
He said it was tremendous. THEY LAUGH
I love America. I can see why you went to uni there.
Where did you study? In LA. Oh, in LA. Yeah.
Ooh, nice. Little bit different.
You do give LA vibes, to be fair.
Do I? And what did you study? Um, business. Ooh, fab.
Yeah. Yeah.
How was the lake? Was it good?
It was good, yeah. It was fun.
Several drinking games may have been played.
Ooh, that. Yep.
Any... Any gossip?
Harvey and I kissed.
But I saw him the other night
and I hadn't really spoken to him since the Lakes,
and he was like, "Oh, I really want a tennis lesson,"
and I was caught a bit off-guard so I said yes.
But I hope I made it clear that it was strictly
instructor-client basis.
Professional. And that's... Exactly. Right. Professional setting. OK.
So, it was a professional kiss...
Yeah, just... ..just to be clear. ..business.
I think it's going to seem like a date, no?
What if...you come?
To the tennis lesson?
Why don't you come along to the tennis lesson.
With Harvey?
Yeah. Am I your moral support?
To make it... Yeah, to make it less awkward. OK.
Cos you're actually a really great guy,
and I feel like you'll bring the fun vibes. OK.
And less pressure on me and him.
Do you know what? I'll do that. Really?
Yeah, I'll do it. Thank you! THEY CHUCKLE
Well, the good news is that Freddy has the superior technique.
In tennis, or...?
I shall leave it for broad interpretation. THEY LAUGH
I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by you, Bella.
Mm, thank you.
You've got all the gear and actually have an idea.
You're good. You're good. She does. Sometimes.
You can swing that club, girl. Hit and miss.
Bella's swing is looking fantastic...
..is what I'm advising. I think Lauren was not bad.
You are such a dad. I can't... Look at him!
No, sorry, you're both quite dad-y today.
Well, it's good to see the kerfuffle with Yas you had the other night
isn't coming between you two.
Oh, my God.
It would've been more productive talking to a wall.
I don't know, I think it's just a bit obvious
what she's trying to do. She's, you know...
Do you think she's trying to get back in Tristan's remit?
I think she's planting seeds in his head,
trying to see if there's even a window of opportunity.
Checking the perimeter. Checking in with...
Even, like, literally, like, two minutes ago...
It's just annoying. ..she texted me. Whoa! She texted you?
Saying what? She texted me literally two minutes ago. What? Saying what? Saying, "Hey, Tristan.
"I hope you're well. The other night was a lot.
"Let me know if you're free for a coffee as I'd like to clear up a few things."
Well, I spoke to Yas... Like our dust between each other.
Literally, this is ten minutes ago.
The thing is, I don't trust that it's that innocent.
I just don't. My intuition is my intuition.
I have to go with my gut.
She's probably saying it's a coffee
and then it's like, "So, shall we go on a date now?"
I think Yas is a sweet girl, Lauren,
but she may have realised that she's prioritised
the wrong people and things at the moment
and maybe she wants to make things right.
You know... No. Wanting to... That's sweet, but no.
You don't know what you want that's fine,
but don't step on people's toes trying to figure it out.
Yeah, and also, like, let the past be the past.
There's nothing else to say.
I've made it abundantly clear how I feel
and where my interests lie.
Olivia, I've missed you. I feel I haven't seen you in ages.
It has been a while. How's little Baby Jude?
He's good.
Did you bring me some placenta sweeties?
No, used them all up now. Oh.
I know. I told someone I ate them and they were like, "What?!"
You told my dad. You bumped into my dad. Yeah, I told your...
He called me, like, "Liv's told me
"she's had some placenta, or something," and I was like...
I completely forgot about that.
What are you doing for your birthday?
So, I'm actually doing, like, a Marie Antoinette-themed party.
Ooh! Fancy.
I hope everyone actually makes an effort.
Yeah, if you do a theme, it's like you want everyone to go all-in.
I quite like themed parties. I think they're better.
I think they're good if you've got a good outfit.
Yeah. If you leave it to the last minute, you're like "Oh!"
Mine better be the best. I saw on your story
that Temps was in Ibiza. David.
And very cosy on your story.
You're blushing.
He's just, yeah, very sweet.
Have you guys slept together?
We did actually this weekend.
Was it good?
Yeah, it was very worth it. SHE LAUGHS
I got really hammered and I think I told him I loved him.
Did you?
It hasn't been mentioned since.
Prior to Ibiza, I was semi, like,
not on the fence about the whole thing,
but he...I suddenly sort of freaked out.
I didn't know how... if I'm, like, ready
to have anything, like, remotely serious with anyone.
Which is fair. But I do really like him.
We have such a nice time together.
I mean, in the back of my head, I'm like,
I don't want to rush into something without thinking it through.
Yeah, definitely. I think, you know,
it went from zero to 100 very quickly,
and then I started to panic cos I was like, "My God.
"Is this actually the right thing?"
I was able to talk to him about that, and I feel like that's the first time
I've ever been with someone I can talk to about how I actually feel. Yeah.
In the past, like... And he reacted well to it. And he was so sweet. That's good.
He was like, "I just want you to talk to me." It does make it easier.
So, do you see this going somewhere?
Do you see this going into, like, boyfriend and girlfriend,
or are you not thinking that far ahead?
I don't know.
I'm sort of almost trying not to think about it too much
and just sort of take it slow, I suppose.
So, getting drunk and telling him I love him
was probably... In Ibiza on holiday together. ..a bit more of a holiday idea. Yeah, niche.
No, just follow your heart.
You'll do... You'll do the right thing.
Liv sent me a photo of you two snogging.
Did she? Yeah.
What's going on? Have you sealed the deal in Ibiza?
The deal was sealed in Ibiza. THEY CHEER
Was it? Well, you know it was.
Wait - does that mean you're boyfriend-girlfriend? BOTH: No!
Oh, that deal. That deal.
And how was it? You know, did it live up to your expectations?
It was everything and more. Oh! Really?
I feel like I've never felt this way. Oh, my God. This is... No, genuinely, though.
Are you being serious? Yeah. No, I'm genuinely so happy.
It's only been a day since we've been back
and I miss her already.
Do you think that you could make her your girlfriend?
Yeah, I wouldn't even be doing this if I didn't think it was going that way.
Aw, here he goes. That's really cute. That is cute. I'm really happy for you.
Really excited to turn up in my red wedding gown.
But I mean, it's Marie Antoinette,
so I feel like there's no such thing as too much.
This theme, Marie... Marie An...Marie Antoinette.
"Mari-Marie Antoinette". SHE LAUGHS
Who even is Mario Antoinette?
"Mario"? Sorry? I'm sorry?! ROBBIE LAUGHS
Sorry. "Mario Antoinette"? Marie - Marie Antoinette. Sorry.
I'm wondering who Mario Antoinette is, too!
I've heard of her. I don't exactly know who she is. Stop it.
Of all people not to know anything royal. SHE CHUCKLES
How has your, like, life been? How is your love life?
I haven't heard much from you, Freddy.
God, how's the love life? I think there's a little spark in the mix,
from what I've witnessed. Do you know what? Really?
There is this girl called Jazz, who Robbie met yesterday.
She's great. She's sweet. I really like her.
She's pretty. Yeah, I like her as well.
Have you been on a date? I think she's good for Freddy. We haven't, but... Oh.
..thing is, Harvey's asked her on a date,
like a tennis date, and he's going, and so am I.
What? I've been invited to this tennis date.
Wait, by who?
By Jazz. And Harvey doesn't know? Harvey doesn't know I'm coming.
Harvey thinks it's just going to be those two.
I mean, it is niche of her to have invited Harvey and you.
That sounds like she likes you to me. I don't know.
It's quite bold. No, I insist that I come, OK?
I'm going to scope this situation out for you.
Can we just appreciate Harvey's position here?
So, he's wanted to go on a date
and now he's going on a double blind date with Paris.
SHE LAUGHS
This is going to be an interesting tennis game.
Right, a scary movie tonight?
When I'm finished with my dinner with Ruby, I will join you.
Ah, yes, my ex.
Your baby hairs are flying around your ears.
It's like they've got a mind of their own.
They're like, "I'm coming out to play today."
I think I got ready in the dark this morning.
Hi! Oh, hi. Hello. Hello.
How are we? Good. How are you? I'm good. So nice to see you.
Nice to see you, too.
I thought we could meet here before we go for dinner. Nice. Quick drink.
Am I on a date? Are you guys on a date?
Um, I'm not staying long.
I've actually... He's leaving. I'm going to order a takeaway.
I'm going to get some poppadums... Thank you.
..I'm going to get some rice,
and I'm going to get a chicken bhuna.
Why does this feel awkward? I don't know. Is it?
Is it? No. I'm not awkward. I'm all right.
I'm good.
Well, on that note, I think I'm going to bid you girls farewell.
See you.
I will go and get my poppadums. SHE LAUGHS
Bye.
Enjoy.
I didn't know he was going to be here.
I maybe should've given you a heads-up.
I find it a bit awkward. I thought you guys were...
I think... ..on good terms. Yeah, we are.
But you know, there's no disrespect towards him.
If you guys are spending more time together -
I have no idea what's going on, I can only assume...
We have just been spending more time together,
and I guess we're getting on well and we're in a good space.
Is it, like, spending more time together romantically?
I guess so. Like... Yeah.
Getting to know each other, like... one another again.
It's nice. I've enjoyed being with him.
To be honest with you,
this is actually the first time that I've properly spoken
to someone about it.
I've been keeping it a little bit under wraps
just I guess for my own sanity
and, like, protection of the situation
because of how it ended last time,
and also I think we're both just in a better place ourselves.
But I hope that he's not having his cake and eating it.
I agree, and I don't think I'll allow him to.
We're in a good place, and I feel...
..I feel happy that it's moving forward.
That's good. Yeah, we will see. Um...
But, yeah.
Hello! Missed you, baby girl. Hey! Maeva! A-ha-ha! Maeva.
Here you go, princess. How are you? How are you?
Sorry I'm late. How are you?
So, I was on the phone actually with the wedding planner.
You haven't done your fitting yet. Are you guys getting married? Sweet.
Yeah, we are. You're not coming. I've missed you, Maeva. I was...
Shut up. THEY LAUGH
Just shut him down. Honestly, I... Bravo.
Who does more of the wedding planning here? Me.
Let's be honest, it's Maeva's wedding, really. Yeah. You're just invited.
You're just the extra. Don't know what you're doing there. "Maeva's wedding, featuring James."
THEY LAUGH Yeah. On the invites. Yeah.
I've just realised that I'm the only one sitting here with a good love life.
Charming reminder, thank you. Come here, baby.
You want to kiss me? No.
THEY LAUGH Could work better.
Jazz is sweet. We had a kiss away in... Whoa!
Got a play-date, perhaps, cos we're playing tennis.
Tonsil tennis? Tonsil tennis, there we go.
THEY LAUGH Thanks, man.
What do you guys think of Olivia and Temptation?
I reckon me and Jazz have more of a chance of working out.
I think it's going to work out. Do you?
I think it's really going to work out.
See, I love sarcasm. That's great. Mm-hm.
I think it has another couple of weeks.
I saw Liv a few days ago
and she was not sure about her relationship with Temps,
and I was actually the one saying, "You should try to make that work
"because this guy seems to be nice," and everything.
I was really, like, for their relationship.
She kept saying like, "I don't know. I don't know.
"I don't know. I've been hurt by Tristan.
"Like, I'm not really in the right mind-set."
I have also spoken to Liv, yeah,
if we're going to put everything out on the table... Get it out. Get the cards out.
..and I think she's having fun with Temps,
but I think in her heart
and what she's saying is the fact that she's...
..it's not going to be a thing.
They're not going to be in a relationship. Livia is in pain. She's still...
In pain with Tristan. ..in pain from her previous relationship,
and Temps is this...
Well, he's the rebound, really. He's the rebound, exactly.
And I think he's looking after her
for the time being, a little bit of fun,
but I think he's just... Hey, he's just the backup dancer.
The backup dancer.
I've explained to her, "I think you and Temps are better as friends," and she agrees with me.
What she's implying to me
and what she's saying is that she doesn't see Temps
in a romantic way,
but I think it's very comfortable for her to keep going with Temps,
and that's what I think she's doing.
And has she told him, or is it...? No, no, no.
I imagine that's the chat she needs to have. Not a fun one.
We know Liv.
There's no way she's going to take Temptation back to the family home
to meet Kevin and Katie, no way.
Here we are.
Here we are, babes. Just you and me and Yas...
SHE LAUGHS ..at some point.
Well, when you're done, we can go for dinner, so...
Yeah, and dessert.
Yes. THEY CHUCKLE
Sorry. Can't help myself.
Hey, Yas. How are you? How are you guys? Yeah, good.
The happy couple. Hi. Good to see you.
Nice to see you here, Lauren.
I actually messaged you... Yeah. ..cos I wanted to clear things up.
I didn't think there was any point of us speaking, cos it kind of...
I feel like the text should've been sent to two people, I feel.
To two people? Why? Yeah. To Lauren as well.
I feel like it's all got a bit weird. I feel like Lauren owes me an apology
for how hot and heavy you came at... Oh, you're funny.
This conversation won't go well if we start off on this foot,
so let's... You don't think you should've cleared the air with both of us,
considering our last conversation? Not really, because I think you had this judgment.
I think I wanted to clear the air because our conversation
got really misconstrued in the sense
Lauren kept saying as if I fancy you and I want to date you now,
and that was never... Stop deflecting. It's boring.
I'm not deflecting.
Why is it so hard for you to see how you come across to people?
I'm just curious.
I don't know what you want me to say to you. Like, I don't understand.
OK, so, she continues to never understand what I'm saying,
so she... Because I think you're quite mean.
Boring conversation.
What we're saying is, like,
we don't need to be part of this weird bullshit any more.
I hate to say it, you and Sam have just caused enough...
I don't want to be part of any bullshit either, Tristan.
I think I've been through enough bullshit.
I had a conversation with you.
I don't understand what warranted this
being so heated between you and I.
I think a lot of low blows were said.
The difference is I'm trying to be fully transparent with everybody who's in my life at the moment.
I feel like what you've done, as much as it may not have felt that way, and Sam as well,
has put pressure and friction between Lauren and I,
and I'm not doing it any more. My darling,
as entertaining as this conversation is,
I'm going to go.
Have a good chat.
See you later.
Bye.
Do I get a kiss, no?
No.
Why are you here together?
Cos clearly you want to have a conversation.
Well, all I wanted to say... And she's now upset and wound up,
and that's not what I want.
I don't understand what...
Cos you come in hot. You've come in with Sassville.
I came in hot? How have I come in with Sassville?
You've stormed in here and you're already arguing... I'm not storming in here.
Yas, just calm it down. I'm not doing this fucking...
Tristan, I just think you're a great guy. That's literally it.
I wouldn't have gone there if I didn't think you were.
And that was literally it.
I said it as a light-hearted comment. Pfft.
It just didn't need to blow up like this now.
No, it didn't.
So, it's a bit of a shame, really.
Yeah. So, are you guys exclusive?
Um, no.
So, you're dating other people?
I haven't been, but I think it wouldn't be a problem if I was.
No. Or she was. Oh, you haven't been dating other people?
Uh, no. Not since we slept together, no. Oh, OK.
Why, who? It's just that's not what I heard.
Well, I haven't been on a date with anyone
since I slept with Lauren, fact.
Oh, OK. Well, you've clearly got something to say, so...
No, just Miles mentioned briefly that you were dating other people.
Who? I don't know who.
I didn't ask names. I don't care that much.
Miles said I was dating other people? Yeah.
But he was just saying it in passing. He is the shit-stirrer of the group.
He's constantly got something to say, he's constantly dipping his oar in.
That puts pressure on me,
and then that gets relayed back to Lauren,
and it's then another thing I've got to deal with.
It's just irritating.
Right, Olivia,
let's get these celebrations under way.
What, cos I'm in my birthday month?
You're looking at me like I've never done that before.
Oh, yeah, I know, cos I got nervous. No, this is very sweet.
I thought I'd take you out for a little pre-birthday drink.
That's very sweet of you. Are you excited for your birthday?
I am.
You got me the perfume, we've had Ibiza,
now drinks, and now tomorrow you're going to be dressing up.
Yeah, what is Marie Antoinette?
I watched this film with Kirsten Dunst called Marie Antoinette.
Anyway, I just loved their outfits. They just looked sick.
Ibiza was actually really fun.
I had an amazing time.
I just want to do everything with you now.
SHE LAUGHS What do you mean by "everything"?
No, I just had such a good time away from, like,
our friendship circle in Chelsea.
I'm scarily into you. SHE LAUGHS
So... I don't know why I'm scared, though.
What do you...? What, that I'm going to turn into a nob, or something?
No, I just feel like with previous relationships,
I've felt like I've liked the person
but I've never had this feeling before.
SHE LAUGHS
I did want to give you a little early birthday present.
Another one?
Another one.
Is this a joke one? No.
Here you go, Olivia.
Don't worry - it's not an engagement ring.
Is this actually from you? Yeah, it's from me.
David, you're very sweet and generous.
That is so beaut.
Do you like it? Yeah. Good.
And it's the right colour. Yeah.
I've only ever worn gold in my life,
and all the people I've dated in the past
have only ever bought me silver.
And in my head, I've gone, "Oh, there's a sign." I know.
Diamonds and gold.
Wait, are they actual diamonds? Mm.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
That's actually... Yeah. Thank you very much, David.
My pleasure.
You're actually really sweet.
Ladies... ALL: Oh! ..I have a special delivery for you.
Marie Antoinette's valet.
Good luck. I don't need luck.
Whoa!
Run! Ah!
God.
Ah! Shit.
No wonder you needed a tennis lesson.
The ball's not going over the net.
Oh!
Ah!
Ah, no, Harv. It's OK.
You definitely made the right choice, Lauren.
I know. It's so good. I absolutely bottled this choice.
Do you want to try?
Mmm.
Are we excited? I can't wait. I am. Yeah.
It honestly looks incredible. The outfits look amazing. Do they?
The menu looks...unbelievable, yeah. Really?
This is literally Liv Bentley as an event.
Hopefully she's not going to get chopped off.
"Chopped off"? Like Marie Antoinette.
Oh. Last Queen of France.
What did you get her for her birthday?
A gold diamond bracelet.
What?! Diamonds?
Too much. Why? Well, diamonds are forever.
Yeah? Yeah.
I mean, Liv always said she needed a man
that was going to buy her diamonds. And here I am.
Wow, you must really... You're in love.
We did say it drunkenly in Ibiza, but...
I mean, Ibiza's the country of love. No, I really do like her.
You do. No, I am really happy.
I've honestly never felt like this about anybody before. Temps and Liv!
Aw! You look like you're going to cry!
HE LAUGHS I'm not going to cry!
Maeva's quiet.
Scarily quiet.
No, I guess...I guess it's great.
I guess she's...she's changed her mind, then,
because this is not what she... she said to me the other day.
OK. So, it's good. So, you probably...
And what exactly was it she said to you the other day?
No, she just basically said that she was not...
..she didn't want to be in a relationship
because of what happened with Tristan.
She was not really in the right mind-set
to think about anything like that.
That's it. So, that's what she said? Yeah, that's what she said to me.
Look, I'm sure you know more than anybody else
that feelings change when you're in the start of a relationship.
It is what it is like. It's normal.
It's a normal emot... Like... It's also still early days, you know?
It's early days. You have different emotions.
So, if now, since last week, she changed her mind,
she wants to be in a relationship, then mazel tov.
Apparently, she even said worse things to Sam. To Sam?
Yeah, Sam. I wouldn't really take what Sam has to say...
Yeah, fuck me. ..at face value.
But then again, I don't know. Hey, I don't know.
Sam knows more, apparently, about the situation,
so if you want to know more, you should just talk to him.
Liv obviously has confided in Sam in some sort
and said something that, if I were you, I'd want to hear.
Last night, something really weird happened.
So, Bella and Ruby went for dinner.
Bella was like, "Why don't you come for a drink beforehand?"
I was like, "Yeah, sure. No worries.
"I'll come and meet you guys, have a drink,
"then go and get my own takeaway."
TRISTAN CHUCKLES
So, we get there, Ruby walks in.
I felt like this really off vibe.
I genuinely thought I had done something wrong.
I was uncomfortable so I actually exited the situation
and was like, "Cool. I'm going to leave now."
How was Bella during that whole thing?
Bella came and stayed with me after the dinner
and she subsequently told me that Ruby was quizzing her
a little bit or asking questions about where we were at,
and she said, you know, "We're hanging out again
"and we've kind of found this new common ground,
"and it's really nice."
And I think... HE CHUCKLES
..Bella kind of told me that the situation was awful.
It was, like... Oh, God. ..really awkward, nervous.
Bella definitely doesn't deserve any hostile energy from anyone...
From anyone. ..because she hasn't done anything wrong.
She's just dating a guy that she likes, OK? Yeah.
And yes, she's in a circle where your ex is there as well,
and there's no reason they can't get along.
If you were to choose,
who's feelings do you prioritise more?
Like, Bella's or Ruby?
I don't want either of them to be upset,
but you know, I obviously care about Bella
and she's my priority in this.
If your happiness is going to make Ruby upset,
that's not your problem any more.
As much as you'd like to keep everyone happy in the situation,
Ruby is your past and Bella is your future.
Focus on your past, then your future with Bella might be compromised.
I feel really bad for Temps. Cos he's doing so much effort as well.
Yeah, but then he needs to know the truth. I mean, come on.
I had quite an interesting night last night.
It was actually quite weird.
Oh, what happened?
So, Bella messaged me and she said, "Let's go have dinner."
I hadn't caught up with her in a while and I thought,
"Yeah..." You know, I really get on with Bella. Yeah.
Get to the restaurant and she's sitting with Rez.
Why would she invite you for dinner and sit there with your ex? Yeah, that is weird.
It was, like, a very dimly lit restaurant.
Like, they were sitting next to each other having a drink each.
She then started to basically tell me that her and Rez are dating again.
Yeah, I'm not surprised. They're dating again? Yeah.
No wonder I haven't heard anything from her. Yeah.
I feel like she felt a bit smug telling me.
Really? Really? Slightly. Oh, so coming from a bad place, then.
I really like Bella,
and I think we've always got on off the back of her and Rez ending.
I'm not going to be hanging around with
and have one of... a girl in my close circle
that is going out with my ex... my long-term ex-boyfriend.
And it ended frosty.
We haven't spoken since, and I left feeling a bit awkward.
Well, I also had a really awkward night yesterday.
I went to see Tristan.
Anyway, I get to the drink - who's sat there? Lauren, of course.
Ah, yeah, because they're dating officially.
I don't know why she was there.
Because she was like, "I thought shouldn't you have wanted
"to clear the air with the both of us?"
I was like, "Lauren, I don't really want to see you."
Yeah, but she's allowed to be wary.
She's allowed to be wary, but she doesn't have to be a bitch.
Yeah, OK. Well, yeah, I agree.
You can be wary and nice. I agree.
She was, like, kissing him, like, for ten minutes in front of my face.
I was like, "I'm trying not to be sick here."
Oh, my God. You know, a lot of it confuses me,
because they're acting like they're a couple,
but I've also heard from Miles that he's dating other people,
so it's just all very confusing.
Miles told me that the other day. Really?
And Tristan got very... got his back up.
How does he know that? OK, I'm not saying it's true,
but I'm saying there's rumours flying about. It's what you've heard.
You know, if Lauren's acting this insecure
with the way her and Tristan are
just basing off whatever I said to him at the Lakes,
I wonder how she's going to react
when she finds out that he's apparently
dating other people.
Ah!
I'm seeing some improvement.
You have to try and move me, yeah.
Shit. Ah! Ah! Was that...?
I'm not meant to be losing! THEY LAUGH
I'm excited to meet her. Yeah? Yeah.
Just don't embarrass me, please. What? Freddy, me? No. Never. Please.
Ah.
You're actually quite good. Oh, thank you.
I hate to give you a compliment. You're VERY good, though.
High fives, that's how we do it? Yeah.
Thank you for that. I really enjoyed that. I know.
That was good fun.
Next time - if there is a next time...
Yeah. ..more focus,
a little bit more focus, and...
There's just slight distractions going on... Just, like, the wind.
..on the other side. THEY CHUCKLE
Yeah, you were... You were impressive. Really impressive.
Not that I didn't think you would be given, you know,
your pro status, but very good.
I'd actually say that you're...
No, I'm not going to give you a compliment.
SHE LAUGHS No, you can. No.
I feel like I need a good grunt, you know?
I haven't got one of those yet. A nice, like, "Ah!" No, I didn't hear anything.
Hi, guys. Hi! Hey! Sorry we're late... Whoa.
..but I made up for it with a doubles partner - Paris.
Yes, I was just saying we should... Hello. Hello.
Hello, Paris. How are you? Hi, Freddy. How are you?
What time do you call this? Uh...
You're a bit late. Too late. Sorry. My bad.
It's OK. So nice to meet you.
I've heard so many beautiful things about you. Likewise.
From Freddy of course. So, we might've crashed a bit.
No, mate. I mean, do your thing. Sports day.
I want to play more. I know.
Cos I didn't know what this was,
cos you asked for a lesson, and I was like, "Yeah,
"instructor-client,"
and I was like, "Why don't we get another client?"
And this is amazing.
I'm pretty sure we're all surprised here. Yeah!
It's a great business move. I like what you've done here. Is this a thing?
You're chilling, right? Are you chilled? Yeah,
but I was...you know, I wanted to get to know you better.
Yeah. I enjoyed our time down at the Lakes. Mm-hm.
Uh, that's how far we've got. Yeah. Exactly.
So, it's... It is casual now. It's...
But, like, there's definitely an interest,
if that's what you're asking. Listen, like,
I am single, we're all single.
But, yeah, I'm just keeping it friendly and... Oh, OK.
..I just thought it would be nice to get to know everybody.
And I'm so happy that you came. Yeah.
Like, I'm pretty happy that you came.
Well, I think that's enough awkwardness for now.
Why don't we play some actual tennis?
Yep. This is true. Let's go. God. Let's go.
Come on. Let's do it. Let's do it.
I can't believe we're going to your ex's party. Exes all round.
I'm going for your costume. It's the only reason I'm going.
Have you seen her costume? I have seen her costume. Any good? Exceptional.
Right, on that note, I need to go and get my fitting, so...
Good luck. Good luck. Send me a photo.
See you. See you guys later. See you, buddy.
Anyway, shall we even talk about last night?
THEY LAUGH
I got a bit frustrated after you left.
She just came in hot. I was like, "What are you doing, Yas?"
And she kept trying to, like, make these little stabs at you.
I just don't understand this girl, honestly.
Well, she says she wasn't meddling or she had no malintent or anything.
My eyes just did five backflips. OK.
If she just stays chilled and stays away... Yeah.
..that would be great, kind of thing.
She has a good way of stirring the pot,
then being like, "No, my hands are clean. I didn't do anything."
Exactly. You know, with her Bambi eyes, like,
she has a really good way of doing that.
She's obviously kind of saying the stuff she is to you
and then in the same breath
slips in stupid stuff that Miles has been saying. Miles?
Saying, "I'm pretty sure Tristan's dating loads of people," that kind of thing.
Why would he say that to her?
He'll say something to someone else knowing it's going to get back to me
and I'll get wound up, which I did get wound up.
I'm not interested in Miles' life - that's the difference.
My life is great. I'm having a great time.
I don't know where we go from there, but...
We go and have fun... Yeah. ..and we live our best lives,
and those two go and sit in the corner... Yeah.
..gossiping about us because, I hate to say it,
but when you're on top,
everyone's always trying to find something to bring you down.
David.
Princey. How are you?
Hopefully be better after this.
I want to hear about the conversation Liv's had with you
that you so kindly told Maeva about and it's got back to me.
The last conversation I had with her was before you went to Ibiza.
She was thinking about calling it off with you
because... Right.
..I think she sees you more of a mate.
And I said to her,
"You guys obviously have a great friendship. I clearly see that.
"But why jump into something romantically
"when it can ruin that friendship?"
cos I've always had time for you, always cared. Have you, though? Always. OK.
I've always said to everyone, "Temps is a sound bloke."
I want her to be happy.
When she's expressing doubt to me and other people, that's when I'll get involved and be like,
"Wait, is she doing this to make herself feel better in this moment?"
OK, because you're such a good friend
and believe you're being a good friend to her.
You're a fucking snake, Sam.
You're one thing to my face,
then calling me a backup dancer behind my back.
I just want to have Liv's back, and I don't want her to go...
I just don't see her ending up with Dave.
Sam, everything about you is calculated.
You're like the world's shittest mathematician.
If you had anything about you... I'm quite good at maths.
..you'd realise Olivia has got your back.
Yeah, and I have her back. I don't have your back.
But even if she confided in you as a... I just think...
Shush a minute. Even if she confided in you...
Even if she confided in you as a friend... Yeah.
..why the fuck would you take it upon yourself
to go and tell Maeva?
Have that conversation with Liv. Liv and I are fucking adults, Sam.
Mm. You might get there one day.
We have grown up, open, honest conversations. You're just not that guy, pal. You're not.
I know she's had a wobble. I had a wobble myself.
I know the situation we're in. There's a lot on the line.
Mm. And I don't need little twats like you going around changing
the narrative in order to benefit you in some way.
I'm pissed off. I've got something very real and good with Olivia.
That's good. That's good. Well, but you don't need...
But I don't know if she feels the same way.
We told each other we love each other. It's a bit too far. What? Fuck.
All I'm saying is I've had a conversation with Liv, I've relayed it to you.
She had the same conversation with Maeva,
and you need to accept this conversation did fucking happen.
But did that happen, though? Don't be angry at me. What were the exact words?
That she was having doubts, she was having a wobble with you. OK, so she's having doubts.
Why would she take me to Ibiza? Why would I meet her family?
Why would she be sleeping with me if we're just friends?
I think that's fantastic for short-term, but long-term, you're not that guy.
This isn't a game, Sam. No, no. It isn't.
You don't need to put other people down
to try and make yourself feel better.
You're a car crash. You fucked your relationship with Inga. You fucked it up with Yasmine.
You went crawling back to Inga. You went crawling back to Yas.
You had one person who was going to stick by your side - Liv -
and I think now you've completely fucked that as well.
I think this conversation's now done.
Fuck off, then. Look after yourself.
Weasel.
Do you reckon I should wear this to my wedding?
First of all, you'd need to find someone to marry.
I've got girls lining up, by the way. Lining up? Lining up.
Where? THEY LAUGH
INAUDIBLE SPEECH
I'm sorry, you've definitely stuffed 500 socks down there.
Oh, David! Is that what they...? THEY LAUGH
Oh, David! Is that what they do in this era?
They asked me if I wanted a codpiece, but I rejected it.
The codpiece. I think... Codpiece.
This is such low-rent chat. Do you mind? It's my birthday.
But it's enormous.
Um, anyway, moving on! THEY LAUGH
Well, it should be a great night.
It should be, if the little skunk eating birthday cake in the corner doesn't ruin it.
Wait, what's he done now?
Basically, what happened was, I had a conversation -
the same conversation I had with Sam and with Maeva -
saying how the only thing I was worried about with David
was rushing into anything, which was minor
and a normal conversation to have, right?
They then twisted it, both of them together,
and have made it out as if I'm not into David.
He's a little shit. I give him the benefit of the doubt so many times, and it's so annoying.
I look at him like a little brother. Why does he always get away with it?
He gets away with it so many times. Why?
This time, it's like, "I'm done with it now."
I'm just so frustrated that the conversation I'd had
I actually thought was a nice conversation
and, like, I was opening up to Sam about how I felt about my ex.
Nothing to do with you. It actually wasn't. Mm.
It was about, like, where I'm at.
And it was a nice conversation, and he's managed to twist that.
Enjoying the evening?
Uh, it's a little bit awkward, I must say.
Ruby? No? Ruby, mm.
Ultimately, I think it's just a massive shame
that my friend can't be happy...
..for me being happy, I suppose, or for actually us being happy.
From my perspective, you're my priority anyway.
I know we're not exclusive or anything,
but I do really like you,
and I feel like I've never really said that.
I'm not really good with my feelings.
Whatever this feeling is,
I want you to know that I have feelings for you.
I appreciate it, and you know, I feel the same.
Do you know what's funny, is that seeing Tristan
and Lauren all over each other tonight...
Yeah. ..it's that... Why is that funny?
..I mentioned, like, in passing, a comment
about the fact that you mentioned that he was dating other people,
but he was really annoyed at that.
He was like, "Oh, Miles always seems to want to ruin my life,"
getting really, like, agitated.
He starts getting his back up about everything.
"I've not been on a date.
"I've not seen any other girls
"since I've got involved with Lauren." OK.
And I took his word for it.
I was in a club last night
and the girl he was kissing wasn't Lauren.
Oh!
Mm. So, you caught him kissing this other girl. Did he see you?
We saw each other at the club, so... Yeah.
..he has been really sketchy with me tonight.
So, wait, does Lauren know? I don't know,
but I'm not going to tell her,
cos then it looks like I'm being meddley-pants again.
Lauren needs to not focus all her attention on me.
I'm not your worry, Lauren. The other girl is.
God, here he is. How's it going, guys?
Hi! How are you? Hello.
Yeah, good. I mean, obviously, we saw each other on Saturday night.
Yeah, we did. I bet you're relishing this opportunity. How's that?
I'm not relishing in it, Tristan. I'm actually not.
I'm going to have a conversation with Lauren today,
so rest assured that will happen.
OK, well, I wasn't going to be the one to tell her, anyway.
Is that only because other people know, or were you genuinely going to tell her?
No, we've been dating for 2.5 weeks. Like, we're very...
That's why I was very shocked when you brought Lauren
to the drink that you and I had.
Yeah, I think that was more cos she wanted to sus out
how you were going to be.
Anyway, yeah, that's going to be an interesting conversation, I think.
Why don't you bring her along? Don't fucking... Look, you're stirring the shit now.
Don't you laugh either. I'm not! I mean, it is...
It's true. You know I'm right. It is a bit funny.
She is not going to be happy.
I really like this girl. I do.
What, Lauren or the girl in Raffles? YAS LAUGHS
Stop looking so fucking smug. I'm not.
No, Tristan, it's not smug. It's not smug, but it's a bit rich
when you've given me loads of shit over the years,
and Temps now, and then... That's a very different situation. But you've done...
What?! I've been dating this girl for 2.5 weeks.
Do you know what? Good luck, because I've been there with her. She will take it awfully. Yep.
I've been on the receiving end. I feel sorry for you.
I don't. I know you fucking don't.
THEY CHUCKLE
Gorgeous birthday girl.
Rubith. Hey. Hey, how are you? You look nice.
Thanks.
Not going to lie, I feel like the other night was a little bit weird.
Yeah, I agreed to go for dinner with Bella,
and then I was sort of walking into what felt like
quite an intimate setting and you're both having a cocktail,
and I felt almost like I was, like, intruding in some ways.
And I also wasn't really anticipating for Bella, after you'd left,
to sort of dive into where you guys are,
how you've picked things up, all these sort of feelings,
which, you know, I hope it does work out
and she's entitled to feel any way...
Like, we're not together.
It's not really my business what goes on between you both, really.
But her, as my friend,
and having been my friend for the last few months,
I felt like it was quite naive of her to sort of sit there
and say that she hopes that we can all hang out.
So, wait. Is it now awkward, is that what you're saying,
between you and Bella, the situation?
I don't want it to be. OK.
But I'm not going to be hanging out with you both together, as such.
Yeah, sure. OK. But I hope that it doesn't affect our friendship.
We can be in a group setting together, you and I,
without Bella, and you can be... No, no. Like... No.
This is all getting...
I will happily sit in a group with you and Bella. Cool. Fine.
Happily. I don't care. Sweet.
Like, it's nice to see you moved on and happy.
I'm just not going to be going
for cocktails with just you and Bella.
I thought we were cool.
We are cool. Let's leave it at that. We're cool.
I wish you both well,
but we're not probably going to all come for drinks
with me and my boyfriend in a dimly lit bar.
OK. And I don't really understand how it's that hard to get.
Hiya. Hi.
How are you doing? I'm OK.
You know, I'm getting kind of weird vibes from everyone tonight,
and I feel like I don't know something.
Yeah. No, there is something I want to talk to you about.
In a club, I kissed a girl on a night out.
I don't want you to think I'm this arsehole
who's just taken everything we've got for granted,
cos that's not the case.
And I regret massively what happened. I mean that.
Basic respect for a girl that you're sleeping with,
you don't go to a club and you don't kiss another girl, OK?
SHE SOBS I'm sorry. I am sorry,
but I'm not a 21-year-old girl that's just looking for a fling.
If I sleep with you... But that's not what I'm looking for. Stop interrupting me!
I sleep with you and you go and do that? Are you fucked?
I had a flirt and a kiss with someone. I like you. I'm really disappointed.
I know. I can see that. I'm sorry.
I didn't think we had to have a conversation where, "Please don't kiss another girl in a club.
"Please don't do that. Maybe I won't like that."
We haven't had that. We don't need to. You should be a grown-ass man. I do respect you.
You're not going to stand there and say you respect me. I am. I do show respect, and I am very...
You don't show me fucking respect, Tristan! This is why I'm trying to have this conversation.
You're a little too late. Know why? If you'd turned around to me... You're the same as Harvey. I'm not.
That's not fair. You get validation from twos and threes that come up to you.
You've not even listened to me. I don't give a shit what you say.
You've already done it. I'm going based on your actions. Why don't you base it on what I want to say?
Are you surprised for my reaction? I am a little surprised. You're surprised?
I don't know how you feel about me. That's what a fucking asshole says.
I would love to be exclusive and take the next step with you.
So, you don't think you did anything wrong?
Because I kissed a girl? Yes, Tristan!
If I'm being intimate with you,
I don't expect you to kiss a girl in a club.
If we'd had that conversation, I'd be loyal to you to the end. That's all I need to know.
No, I like you, Lauren. If you don't think you did anything wrong...
I understand that you're upset... Fucking hell, fuck you!
Wow.
Have a little cherry. Can you tie a knot in it?
Mmm. Now I'm just left with a pip in my mouth.
Don't spit it. Ah, the happy couple.
Mmm.
I thought we said no kids at the party.
Mmm! That's really good. What am I, your fucking waiter?
Mm-hm. I don't really know why you're here.
I know you think this is all highly fucking amusing, but I really don't.
Oh, well, happy birthday.
Can I speak to Olivia without...?
Yeah, I'm actually done with listening to this tool, so...
I don't really know what to say, to be honest.
I know you think this is all funny, it's a joke... I don't.
You do. I don't think it's funny at all. You think it's hilarious.
I thought I had a conversation with you where I essentially poured my heart out to you,
because that's what friends do, and I sit and I listen to your shit about Inga,
and then you had the fucking balls to twist exactly what I said
and make it negative about David. I never... Hey...
You're meant to be my friend. I am your friend.
No, you're not. I care about you. I've never had a friend like you, and I don't fucking want one.
But then why...? Why are you fucking me over?
I'm not fucking you over. You are! You are!
You're making shit up to David...
One minute, you were saying you were on a wobble.
Maeva mentioned it and I was like, "I kind of think she is having a wobble."
But did you talk about why I had a wobble?
Because I was worried because I was so heartbroken
about my past relationship... Exactly!
..that I didn't want to rush anything. It's not about Temps.
But you've made it about David and made it... It's not about Dave.
But you've made it about David.
You have twisted that shit and turned into something nasty.
Two weeks in, if you're already having wobbles like you have,
all I've done is lay... Coming from the bloke who's jumped from bird to bird.
HE SIGHS That's a wobble.
I'm getting so frustrated cos I feel like you're just shitting all over everything I've ever done for you.
I'm not shitting all over you. I'm trying to do you a favour.
You clearly do not... I don't think... How do you know who I want?
I feel you're into Temps because of what happened,
you're doubling down on the love. What do you mean?
You haven't seen him and I together.
You've come here,
you're using one hand to eat my fucking cake
and the other one to shit-stir, and I don't understand why.
Get the fuck out of my party.
It definitely didn't look
like someone he'd bumped into in the club.
I did see them hand in hand.
Holding hands? Holding hands.
The whole time I was worried about your behaviour
when it was actually Tristan's behaviour.
Lauren, really?
Hey, guys, check this out. HE SINGS CHEERFUL TUNE
Don't leave him with this idiot.
He didn't do bad at all. Well, OK. Fine, then. Which means...
What do we have to do? Invite him to the wedding.
Uh, no. He deserves it. Ah, no.
If you make her happy, I will like you.
Do I think it's going to work out? Absolutely not.
I had a conversation with you
I thought was fucking private and you've used it against me.
Sam, this isn't a joke. It's not a joke. I'm not saying it is.
Am I the person that's making you unhappy?
I'm destined to be single for the rest of my life.
THEY ALL SPEAK AT ONCE
I'm not actually joking. I need to be by myself. I'm sorry.
I care about you, like, a lot, and I want you to be happy.
