I'm starving. Are you hungry? Neil...
I'll make some eggs. Could you just stop for a minute?
Is this about yesterday? You blabbing to Pete?
Old news. Let's forget about it.
Alright? Alright?
Scrambled or fried? I'd murder some either way.
I don't believe it. We're out.
Cereal is grand. No.
It's alright, Neil.
You wanted them, you're getting them. I'll be back in a sec.
It's no big deal. Exactly. So wait there.
Has anyone seen my wallet? I'll give you some money.
I'm sorting breakfast. You both relax, OK?
It's fine. I'll pay. You can get me back.
Are youse having a row again? No.
Be straight with me.
Some days are better than others.
This looks like one of her worst days.
Just follow my lead, OK? There you go.
Thanks. You're gonna love how I do these.
Have you seen Katy this morning? She had to go early.
Yeah. She wanted to get to the library.
She's avoiding me, isn't she?
She moved home to study for her exams.
And to patch things up. I've barely seen her.
You two just need time to adjust. I'm adjusting fine.
I'm making a big effort here, Deb. So is she.
But her exams are important, you need to let her focus on them.
What's that? What?
I don't know.
Ah, have I told you you're the best looking cab driver I ever saw?
Do you still have to wash his face before you let him out?
Give over.
It's too early for your level of wit.
(DECCO) How are youse? Hey.
Oh, anything good in there?
She gets all her best ideas from magazines. Oh, it shows.
What's that supposed to mean?
You always look good. Oh, thanks.
Yeah, what did you think I meant? Er, nothing.
Are you coming home for dinner? What are we having?
Oh, well, Juliet loves chicken. Well, why don't we just open a B&B?
We're helping them out, OK? Is this her idea?
Stop. No, it's fine.
You're right, we should have checked with you.
It was my decision.
Your brother is being a good Samaritan.
They'd nowhere else to go. But you and Juliet will get on brilliant.
And she's sharing your room. No. Not in this lifetime.
It's my house. So?
OK, I'm sure we can work out the rooms.
Raymond won't mind being on the sofa. They're staying, alright?
So come home for dinner, don't, it's your choice.
Your brother's just being nice. He's being a sap more like.
What's the big deal? Decco should be put on a lead.
He's like her little poodle.
I'll get this. No, it's OK.
No, let me. You're always buying.
I thought you were skint.
I told you, I found a good way of making money.
That quick? You must have put it on a horse.
(CHUCKLES) I used my head.
If it's that easy, I'm all ears.
Sorry. Trade secrets.
So how's she doing? Are you talking about Dolores?
No. Jackie, actually. She's good.
Really? Yeah, great form.
Do you reckon these are really free range?
I don't trust the labels. So you've noticed an improvement?
Oh, big time. Doug is with her now. I'm making them breakfast.
That's great. If there's anything she needs, tell her to come and see me.
Will do, thank you. See you later.
Thanks, Shane. See you later.
Tell me, have you...
Have you told Doug about what happened ion London?
We all need to stop talking about that and just move on.
It's that easy for you to just sweep it under the carpet?
Yeah, it's often the best way. Look, I'm dealing with it.
Come and see her if you wish.
I don't think me going to see her now is the best option.
But, Da, when you do come around, remember, none of this is her fault.
She's ill.
(RAY) I wish you could stay longer. We're back for good. Just not here.
It's a pity you couldn't have fought our corner a little bit more.
If John had been persuaded to let us stay,
it would have really helped, get Juliet settled.
You know, school nearby and that.
Well, if you'd turned up last time around with a better plan,
you wouldn't be in this bind.
Giving me a lecture now is not going to help.
Well, just mind her. What do you think I'm doing?
You're confusing her.
What, you, Decco and Kerri-Ann all under the one roof?
How do you think that's going to end?
At least they're trying to help. And they're not even family.
This guilt-trip isn't going to work.
The decision is out of my hands. You can't stay.
You've made that pretty clear.
I'll wait for Juliet to finish packing up
and then we'll drag our stuff over to Decco's.
Well, do you want a hand moving?
(SIGHS)
(KATY) I'm not ignoring Da. I'm just busy studying.
You're working too hard anyway.
If you could just give him a few minutes here and there
so he doesn't feel left out.
Is this to benefit him or you?
Sorry, I know things aren't easy right now.
Things are fine.
But it would be easier if the two of you were getting on better.
Hi. Hiya.
Can you do those? No rush. No, it won't take long.
We're not that busy. Oh, still drumming up business?
No, I'm hoping we landed this hotel contract.
Without it, we might have to rethink.
Have you thought about setting up a Facebook page?
Or those text alerts? That's a great idea.
I can help you if you want. For a fee?
Of course.
We already have a marketing strategy but I'm open to ideas.
Deadly. I used to work in hotels.
Housekeeping and all that.
The things we used to find in the rooms.
Urgh, gross. No, I loved it, though.
Living your life vicariously through other people's holidays?
Don't be smart. We had fun, me and the girls I worked with.
Would you not think about doing it again?
(CHUCKLES) Not for the tips.
Well, there's a position that's become available
for housekeeping supervisor.
I mean, it could gone by now, though.
You'd be deadly at that, Ma. I thought you said it was gross.
Anyway, I'm not qualified. I was only a chambermaid.
That's what they called it then. We'll get creative with your CV.
If it's available, would you like me to put in a word?
I'll see what Eoghan thinks. Surprise him.
Imagine telling him you got a job with "supervisor" in the title.
He'd love it. It's what youse need right now.
Da? No, it's me.
What are you doing back? I've got a few minutes off.
You can't just turn up like this.
I thought you'd be out. I came back to check on Ma.
Right. You should have called me though.
Save you coming over. Why don't we do that then?
In future, we'll check in by text,
that way we make sure one of us is keeping an eye on her. I'm on it.
I know what I'm doing. I'll let you know if I need your help.
Hi, Doug. Alright? Were you asleep?
Yeah, just a bit. What are you doing home?
Yeah, I forgot my phone.
Just found it so I'm gonna leg it again.
I'll see youse. See you later. Bye.
Have you said something to Doug? No.
He knows you're not well. He's not stupid. Neil...
I've told him I'm gonna take care of you.
You're not well either. I'm on top of the world.
If you can't see that, then you really aren't yourself.
Maybe we should go and see someone together.
We don't need someone. I know how to make you better.
And what about you? Just stop, OK?!
I want to help you out,
but if you keep making it out that I'm sick, I will leave.
See how you get on then.
There you go. The service here is nearly as good as our place.
Sorry. I don't have any change. Oh, I might have it here.
That's OK. I've got this.
Would you mind mopping over there? You're making the floor slippy.
I've finished everywhere else. Well, I'm trying to work here.
It's a safety hazard. We have to be careful in the salon.
Yeah. The thought of you with scissors is terrifying. Thanks.
I'll remember that the next time you want a free cut and colour.
Put the large notes under the tray. I know.
How are you getting on? Brilliant, thanks.
Good work.
Cass, I need a ladder and I need a box of light bulbs.
Cass! I need it now.
You better go.
(RAY) Could I get the bill, please?
Ah, Decco. You alright, Ray?
Would you give that to Juliet for me?
You want me to walk around with that?
Well, you're going to see her before I will.
Why can't they just stay with you? There isn't any room.
So now I get stuck with them? (SIGHS)
But Kerri-Ann talked you into it, didn't she?
Oh, heart of gold, that girl. I can't believe Mondo let her go.
That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
I know it's going to be awkward. We're all adults.
I mean, me and Kerri-Ann are anyway. Well, he's still my son.
So, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Look, give us the bag.
Try and put up with him, will ya? For Juliet's sake.
You mean like you did?
So which one of us did you come to see?
I'm sorry for flying off the handle last night.
I'm worried about both of you.
And I need to know what's going on.
Well, I'm fine. Tell him.
Yeah, Neil's right. We're working through it.
You see? She's starting to realise why she lied.
How it's not fair on any of us, least of all herself.
Is that true? Pete -
Remember what I told you about telling the truth?
Yeah.
I was... scared. It was a terrible thing to do.
It wouldn't be the first time I did something unforgiveable, would it?
So, Neil is right? You're the one having the problems, not him.
Yeah. I lied to you, Pete.
I'm the only one here who needs help.
Go easy on her, Da. I didn't mean to, it was just -
It's all about perspective. It's all messed up.
In her mind, she didn't lie to you. Right.
You told me that my son was going to kill himself.
And that now he was on the verge of another breakdown. I lied.
None of this is her fault. Look at what she's been through.
Actually, I don't want to talk about it.
Well, I think we have to talk about it.
Does Doug know about this?
Cos he needs to be told. This isn't the right time.
There's never going to be a right time, Neil.
And I want the truth here. It's not that simple.
When you've been as unhappy as Jackie,
and then you see someone like me who is happy,
it's hard to process as being normal.
So, Neil was made to suffer instead? Is that it, Jackie? Yeah?
Yeah, I'm not proud of it. Is that what you'll tell Doug?
No, he doesn't need to know.
It's keeping secrets
that got this whole thing out of hand in the first place.
He's part of this family and he's going to be informed.
I agree with Jackie. I think you're both wrong.
And I'm gonna call Doug
and we are going to explain this whole thing to him, OK?
I just saw Kerri-Ann and Juliet in the salon.
Yeah, Juliet really wanted to see her.
They're on their way over here to get some chips.
Yeah, I know. I wanted to have a word with you first.
What, is this a man-to-man thing? Let's just call it clearing the air.
I can do that.
The only reason you're living in my house is because of Kerri-Ann.
We both know that. That and I feel sorry for your kid.
That's a bit harsh.
She can run rings around us.
And I suppose she had to learn the hard way.
Cos she has a dad like me? From the disruption.
Charlotte was messed up from all the stuff
that happened to her when she was a kid.
I know what it feels like.
So let's just try and keep things as normal as possible for Juliet.
Thanks.
Plus, I know me and you have had our differences
and it's mainly down to you, but I'm will to put that aside.
But you have to remember, I'm with Kerri-Ann now.
You think I'm after Kerri-Ann now?
I don't care what's going on in that head of yours.
I just want you to know where you stand.
So...
Quiet enough, isn't it?
If the wheels aren't turning, she's costing me money.
Come on, then. Give us a smart comment, I missed a spot, yeah?
It's the only reason you pulled in behind me.
I stopped to tell you about a crash on the North Circular.
Traffic's bunged up in both directions.
Well, you could say thanks. 33 FAIR
Ever feel you're walking two steps slower than everyone else?
The world is passing you by. There's Dad.
You going to tell him about the interview?
I'll wait and see how it goes. Why?
You don't think he'd put it down?
I'm not gonna get it, so I won't start a row over it.
But you are gonna go? I will wait and see what they say.
Then I'll tell him.
It's like we're drifting along. We used to laugh all the time.
Well, at least you're aware of it.
I've had relationships fall apart,
it was only when they're out the door I realised I had a problem.
So I do have a problem? No, I didn't said that.
Look, plan a night out. Just the two of youse.
Sit her down and tell her how you feel.
There you go.
Hiya. Got a minute? Sorry, we're late for something.
Right. See you this evening.
Yeah. Da, you missed a spot.
She tried to put you in hospital? Why? Why would she do that?
She couldn't accept how sick she was. Just like now.
You should have told me years ago. I was protecting you.
Where is she now? She's gone out for a walk.
Clear her head. Can she even be on her own?
Yeah, she's fine. She's calm.
Look, Ma was in a dark place back then.
She wasn't a good person to be around.
You still should have told me, Neil. What would you have done?
I don't know. Something. We need to focus on what to do now.
Yeah, Jackie still needs our help. We're all agreed on that.
So? It's hard to know.
She might not have to see someone.
Or if it gets worse, she might have to go away for a while.
I don't believe this. We'll get through it.
Jackie will, too.
Neil, I'm sorry you had to go through all that back then.
Hey, how are ya? You're all here.
We're not ganging up on you.
You know?
Yeah, well... Doug understands.
We all do. Yeah.
How's that new medicine going for you?
Maybe it'd be no harm to see a specialist.
What about your therapist even?
I stopped seeing him shortly after I got hooked up with all of you.
There's your problem, right there. It's not that simple.
Maybe we need to go back to Shane on this.
Wait, say the meds aren't working, is she gonna end up in hospital?
No. It won't come to that.
We'll make sure it won't. How?
We're all in this together.
And if they recommend that I'm admitted,
you're not gonna stop them, are ya?
So how is Charlotte getting on? Oh, very well.
She's nice and chatty. I think she has great people skills.
Seriously?
You should have more faith in your sister.
Thanks.
Was he giving out about me? The opposite actually.
He was singing your praises. It sucks.
Apparently you're very good at it. So I'll have a bottle of water.
If you'd given me a real job,
I wouldn't have to hang around here for free.
I could move out and get my own place.
I see where this is going. I've told you, my house, not yours.
Which makes it even sadder
that you let your girlfriend move in her ex and his kid.
They're staying a few days.
I'll remember you said that
when we're all decorating the Christmas tree together.
They will go when I want them to.
Or when Mondo is ready to take Kerri-Ann with him.
He's worming his way in.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
He's using that snotty little brat too.
Maybe you shouldn't be behind here making tea.
You've far too much time to use that imagination of yours.
Sure, it's all in my head.
Better get back and do some cooking for your guests.
How many Casses does it take to change a light bulb?
I saw what you were doing. What? My job?
You're going to get yourself into trouble.
When was the last time you had your eyes tested?
I'd hate to see you make a fool of yourself.
Cass, you're not still working on the lights?
He was just having a cup of tea. I was working.
Will you stop messing? We're all trying to pull our weight.
But she was -
She can't get do her work if you keep distracting her.
Now will you get rid of the ladder?
(MAN) There you are. (JO) Thanks a million.
You're welcome.
How'd your meeting go?
Great. I managed to put in a good word.
I don't know if I'm going to go in. I'm so nervous.
You have to.
Because I told a little white lie.
I said you'd worked for me. I can be your reference.
How though?
Just say you helped out in the Helping Hand and community centre.
You're amazing, thanks.
I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm starting to want this job.
I think it could be just good for me and Eoghan.
Best of luck, OK? Thanks.
I wouldn't be telling you this if I didn't think it was for her own good.
She said she was broke, then I saw her buying magazines.
Yes, well, being frivolous with money doesn't make her a thief.
Earlier, she had the cash box like this
and she was about to pocket the money,
but then I saw her and she stopped.
I think she's been doing it for days.
You think. I'm not blind.
(SCOFFS) You're no Columbo either. What proof do you have?
I saw her. Putting money in the cash box.
Only because I caught her in the act.
Did you actually see Charlotte steal money from the box
and put it in her pocket?
Not as such.
Great, you're still here.
After work yesterday, I went home with this by mistake.
Will you put it in the cash box for me?
I got addled serving Kerri-Ann.
She kept talking about Juliet and Mondo. It's all a bit weird.
Don't worry. You can put it back yourself.
This is what I needed. Taking my girls out on the town.
Does that mean you'll buy us cocktails?
Yeah(!) So, what was the rush earlier on?
You had somewhere to be. Just catching up.
(PHONE RINGING) Hang on.
Gotta take this. Hello?
Is something up? Could be important.
How?
Hey. Oh, hey.
You're working late.
Yes, I might have somebody to cover the late shift soon.
You got the contract? Yay! I signed today.
How did Mum get on? With what?
I got the job! (THEY SQUEAL)
We definitely have to get cocktails now!
Congratulations, you! Thank you!
Hang on. What job? Ballintine Lodge.
That swanky place? I have the laundry contract there.
What's that got to do with Debbie?
Ma is the new housekeeping supervisor. Why?
Why not? It's a lovely place.
Maybe we can go there for cocktails. Stop it!
How are you going to fit it in with your other work?
That's the point. I don't have to. It's a proper full-time job.
I can give up the other stuff. Shouldn't you ask me first?
No. Anyway, I wanted it to be a surprise.
Oh, it is. Right, I better go with this lot.
But, erm, congratulations.
They said your reference was glowing.
So thank you, I owe you. No, you don't. Have fun tonight.
See ya. Bye.
What's with all the secrecy?
She only found out about the interview earlier.
I thought you'd be happy.
This is a full-time job with a decent salary.
I don't have to mess around taking bits and pieces that might dry up.
Days off. Holiday pay. What more could she want?
Maybe I should just go and sell me cab.
What else could you do? Er, loads of things.
But I stick to what I know. Well, good for you.
Now, let's go and celebrate.
How are youse? Hey.
Erm, I was gonna give you a bell to see if you wanted to go out,
get something to eat.
We had a burger in the Hungry Pig. Oh. We could still go for a drink.
Shh. This is the good bit. She always goes nuts for this part.
Right.
Not into kids' movies, then?
It's a bit too cosy in there for me too.
I don't blame you for hiding. I'm not hiding.
OK, I'm sorry about that.
I just thought it'd be nice for Juliet to get settled in.
And she's doing it so well. I think I'll go to my room.
Bit of peace and quiet.
She'll get used to them.
Will you? How long are they going to be here?
They don't know yet.
I just want to be welcoming for Juliet's first night.
She seems to have her da's knack for settling in.
Come watch the movie with us. It'll help everyone feel more normal.
Like one big happy family.
Alright. Aw.
Do you think they're fighting about us being here?
We're all mates.
Budge up, Raymond.
Did we miss much?
No, this is just the part - No, don't spoil it.
I haven't seen this one.
Where's Neil? I'm here.
Are you both going out? No, just me.
Look, I owe you an explanation.
Ma, I've had all the explaining I need for one day, from all of you.
I'll see you in the morning. See ya later.
It's a lot for him to take in. He'll come round.
We can't keep this up.
I know you're worried. I'm beyond worried!
Come here.
Blaming it all on me isn't going to make you any better.
You do want to get better, don't you?
Yes.
The first step is accepting you have a problem.
I can't help you fix things with Doug or Da until you do.
Ma?
Yeah. I'm the one with the problem.
You're not just saying that?
No, it's been me all along. See?
Now I can help you make everything better.
