(PHONE RINGS) Hello.
Hi. Hey.
She's still asleep.
Yeah, the nurse said she had a pretty rough night.
Yeah, you know, we need to talk to them.
They can't delay this biopsy.
You need to relax. It's just by a couple of days.
What, and all the agonising we've done over this?
She wants to get married first. Pete should have put a stop to that.
She's excited. It's what's keeping her going.
The doctors are what's keeping her going. And this isn't helping.
Hey, Orla. Oh. Hiya, Pete.
That was the solicitor.
She's heading into court to see if she can get an exemption order.
Well, there shouldn't be a problem? In the circumstances.
Hopefully not. Then I've gotta go down to the Registry Office.
Listen, erm, we all realise that this biopsy is risky, don't we?
Yeah, but... we all agreed, she should have it.
Yeah, we did.
I know that, but, you know, maybe she should have the biopsy,
and then after that, yous can do this wedding thing. You know?
Look, this isn't how I planned it, Wayne, OK?
But it's given her a boost, and that's all that matters.
No. What matters now is that she gets better. OK?
This is what she wants.
There's a wedding list. Could you go through it?
And I'll call you as soon as she wakes up.
Since when did he start making decisions for my ma?
Rachel, I'm so sorry. Jump in, quick.
Oh.
I had to get cards.
Get well Soon cards for Dolores that clients have dropped in.
I want to bring them into her, you know? Yeah, Dad said it was serious.
Yeah, well, she's a fighter. I don't want you worrying anyway.
You've got your last exam to think about.
Oh, if I never have to hear that word again.
Think about college. That's what this is all about.
I mightn't do as well as you hoped.
You'll do great. Spanish is your best subject.
You'll be fantastic, Rach.
There's Katy. Hey.
Hey. Buenos dias.
I still have a few words of Spanish left from school.
Muy bien. Como estas?
So do I.
Er, do you want a lift? Niamh's dropping me to school.
Oh, yeah, OK. Jump in.
You know, that's very strange. Something wrong?
It's not starting.
Oh, well... we can walk to school, can't we?
Yeah. I don't want to be late.
Oh, girls, I'm s... Rachel, I am sorry.
Listen, best of luck. Thanks, Niamh.
I'm thinking about you.
Good luck, love. You too, Rachel.
Do you want me to give it a go? No, I think you're fine.
You having trouble? Will I give it a push?
No, leave it, the starter motor might be gone.
OK. Thanks anyway, Debbie. Alright. Bye. See ya.
I don't believe this. I've a meeting at ten.
Well, do you me to drop you round to the garage?
You might have to get a taxi. Are you sure?
Yeah. Here, look. Hold that.
I'll give Ray a buzz. Thanks, Paul.
Hey. I thought I told you I was making pancakes.
He never used to make pancakes for me.
That's because you were never up.
I'm due at the agency at 11.
The last thing that I need is a feed of your pancakes.
It's going to be so exciting.
Or a giant waste of time. That is just the nerves talking.
Exactly. Wait till we do your hair and make-up. You'll wow them.
Yeah. And look, if that doesn't work, you can always slip them a 50.
Yeah, if I wasn't so broke
trying to replace all the food that you've eaten since you moved in.
Oh, he'll steal your low fat milk as well.
Remember, girls, sharing is caring. Look, I'm buying eggs.
Oh, great. Let's break out the silverware.
So, how we doing? Hey.
Hey. Hey, they're all yours, Dec, but I'm warning you, they're vicious.
Aren't they always? Good luck.
Go on. See ya.
I knew you two would settle in great.
He even steals my moisturiser.
Well, that's OK. Decco steals mine, too.
(LAUGHS) That was one time.
Actually, it's working out pretty OK so far.
I'm just going to get a coffee and I'm good to go. OK.
How long before you think all their little habits
start to drive each other mad? I love people's little habits.
It means you know each other really well.
Yeah, but you don't have to move in with somebody to find that out.
Maybe, but I don't think you know somebody properly
until you live with them.
OK. See you later. Bye. See you later.
Hey.
Don't even think about it. Er, it's my job.
Not in your condition.
Oh, would you listen to Doctor Dad.
After four kids, I think I do have some experience.
Fine, go ahead if it makes you feel better. But I'm not paying you.
(CHUCKLES)
So, you haven't told your sisters. And you know this, how?
Well, I did a bit of skyping this morning.
Neasa? Mm. Dearbhla, too. Not for long.
Just to let them know I had rejoined humanity.
That's great, Dad. It's a start.
I know I can't fix things overnight.
Hey, you should let them know they're going to be aunties.
They'll be tickled pink. Mm. Maybe.
Hey. Hey.
Hey, Damien. Alright?
I'll, er, just... No, Dad, you don't have to do that.
Just trying to make myself useful, that's all.
He's trying his best.
Yeah. No one's disputing that.
Then cut him some slack, for my sake.
Yeah, but it's not about you, is it? Or me. We're having a kid.
And what do you think he's going to do?
What, just randomly flip someday? Well, he did before.
He's not like your dad, Damien. Hold on, you didn't know my da.
I know enough. No, Caoimhe.
The stuff that my da put us through...
I'm sorry. But what my dad had was a breakdown.
He was a normal, great man before that, and he will be again.
Not if people around here have their way.
Seriously, all this aggro, is it good for anyone? Him included.
Yeah, actually, it is. For me.
Deep breath for me, then.
(INHALES DEEPLY, GROANS)
That hurts, yeah? Yeah, a bit.
How's she doing?
We'll know more when the blood count and cultures come back.
But the antibiotics, they're kicking in, yeah?
We might need to change the antibiotic.
Did you ask?
Yeah. They're going to get back to me.
Yeah, we're hoping to have a wedding blessing
in the oratory tomorrow. If we can find a priest first.
On top of the civil marriage?
We were going to have that straight afterwards in here.
Where we can keep an eye on you.
We'll have to use a wheelchair, and you might need to be on oxygen.
(SIGHS) The beautiful bride.
You will be.
We have a priest who makes visits here. Father Bertie Flynn?
Oh, yeah. We know him.
I can ask the team to send him down.
Yeah, thanks.
OK. See ya. (COUGHS)
OK. OK.
Take it easy.
Maybe we should put this whole thing off till after the...
No, no. Let's do it now.
Keep the change. Oh. That's very kind of you.
Any progress with, er, Tommy? I'm working on it.
Good.
Because the last thing I need now is him strolling around the place.
How is Dolores? It's tough.
You take care of your side of things.
Hey. Hey.
Did I hear Pete and Dolores are tying the knot?
Yeah. Cos that's what she needs right now. A wedding.
Still, if she's up for it, she must be better, right?
She's having a biopsy. The cancer might have spread.
I'm sorry, man. Yeah, but what has Pete got us doing?
He's got us faffing around looking for flowers.
Hey, erm, the florist reckons that she might be able to find someone
to make us a wedding cake.
Oh. The cake. Oh, that's great, isn't it? All the important stuff.
That's what your mam wants, love.
Ah, look, the whole thing is... it's just morbid.
Pete never should have entertained it.
But of course, Pete gets what he wants.
Look, if yous need anything, let me know, yeah? Yeah, thanks, Damien.
I want to go see my ma, OK?
Yeah, well, I just have a few more calls to make.
Look, let Pete make his own calls, will you? Come on.
We could get him sent back to the mental hospital.
How? By ringing them up and saying, "Oh, by the way, he's still a loon?"
He's still on probation.
So if he was to find himself on the wrong side of the law again...
He is not going to put one foot wrong.
Supposing he was provoked?
We have to do something.
The very idea of him walking around unchallenged.
It makes me nervous. The longer he's here,
the more we're going to be looking over our shoulders.
You don't think he'd do anything though, do you?
That depends upon whether you believe in his "recovery".
So what do we do?
He needs to lose his temper. Make threats.
In front of witnesses, if you can. Me?
Come on. If anyone knows which of Tommy's buttons to press, it's you.
Hiya. Oh, hiya.
Well? What's the damage? A flat battery.
Was that it? You must have left something on.
Oh, no. The interior light?
But you wouldn't do something like that, would you?
Yeah, thanks for bailing me out. Leave it with me for the day.
I'll get Ray to have a look, see if there's anything else.
You don't have to do that. Unless you need it?
No, I only had the one client.
And he was pretty cheesed off when I turned up late.
Yeah, well, you can't please everybody. No, you can't.
How did you think Rachel was this morning? Alright. Why?
I thought she was very stressed. And Spanish is her best subject.
I just think she just can't wait for them all to be over with.
You know, I still have nightmares about that maths log book. (LAUGHS)
Here.
No hard feelings, then, huh?
We should do something nice for her when this is all finished.
Yeah, sounds good. Just the three of us.
Yeah. See ya. Yeah, see ya later.
Her car broke down earlier. Just as he was walking by.
See, she's lost her toy boy. Er, Michael was not her toy boy.
That's the way she saw him.
And now she's probably getting bored on her own.
Do you think they'll get back together
after what she put him through?
I'd say she's looking at her options.
Now, here you go, Bela.
Yvonne had a rule. Chefs stayed in the kitchen.
Yeah, well, I'm wasted just back there.
It's only until Louise turns up.
Modelling? Am I right? Yeah. She's having a try-out.
It's one thing doing Kerri-Ann a favour, but to go professional?
Well, sure, why not give it a lash?
Who's that one who wouldn't get out of bed for less than 10 grand?
(CHUCKLES) I think Louise might have to start a bit lower than that.
Hey. How are you?
Just talking about you. Oh?
How'd you get on?
Yeah, good, I think.
They want to see me for a portfolio shoot tomorrow.
Just good, yeah? That's fantastic.
Must be in the genes, Bela, huh?
Oh, yeah, I've turned many a head in my time, alright.
Don't we know it. Look, Kerri-Ann will be delighted.
Yeah, you just remember who sent those photos in.
I'll see yous. See you, Bela. See you.
Hey. Hey.
Thanks for meeting me. Yeah. I don't have long, so.
Look, if I'm going to come between you and Caoimhe, I'll leave now.
There's nobody asking you to leave, Tommy.
Yeah, but you're not entirely happy with me being here either.
It's OK. I'm trying to find my feet, too.
Having you back, it's good for her.
Alright, I can see that.
But the way people are, it's stressing her out.
I was naive.
I thought Bob and Jane would be ready to make the peace.
There are some things you don't get over, Tommy.
Maybe you should just accept that.
I'm sorry if I'm raking up bad memories for you.
We're talking about you, not me.
And I need to know that this is going to be OK.
I just want to spend some time with my daughter again.
That's all.
OK.
Hey. Hey. Hi.
Erm, she's sleeping a lot more than she was yesterday, yeah?
Yeah. We're keeping a really close eye on her.
Erm... the wedding? Wayne.
No, erm... Do you think that this is a good idea right now?
At the end of the day, it is her decision.
And... it can help sometimes to have something to look forward to.
Thanks. Hiya.
Hey.
Alright? No news from the solicitor yet.
Pete, this wedding reeks of desperation.
Hey, calm down. No, I won't.
I can say what I want to say.
Or am I just background noise now that Pete's marrying my ma, am I?
I know you're upset, Wayne, OK? Upset?
I am looking after my mother, that's what I'm doing.
Let's go inside and discuss this, you'll see it's what she wants.
You think you're calling the shots, do you?
Do you realise how sick she is? OK, would you stop it?
This is crazy. Well, you're not married to her yet.
So I am the one still in charge, not you.
And I think we should call this wedding off.
I'm trying to make the best of a bad situation here,
but we're not all on the same page.
Nobody wants to be dealing this stuff right now.
Think this is how I want to marry your mother? No, no.
Of course we don't. But it's what she wants.
We have to give her what she needs, not what she wants.
Well, you're wrong there.
Cos if she asked me to climb a mountain for her,
I'd do it right here and now.
And you should you, if you weren't being so selfish.
I am not being selfish, Pete I just want to give her some hope.
And do you think that this marriage might be giving her hope?
Did that ever cross your mind? Can yous just stop it, please?
Marriage is going ahead whether you like it or not.
You know nobody in the history of the O'Briens
has ever done chemistry in the Leaving? No pressure, then?
We're taking you out for dinner tomorrow night.
Yeah. To celebrate it being over with.
Go on, so.
Hi. Hiya. Hiya. Hey.
How did it go this morning? It was alright.
Did you get your car sorted?
Erm, Paul still has it. He's, er, he's checking it out.
Anyway, best of luck this afternoon, yeah?
Thanks. See you later. See ya. Bye.
I'm sure he is. Eoghan.
What? I'm just wondering if it's going to be a recurrent problem.
She might have to take it in every week for a fine tune.
Are you spying on the neighbours?
She was flirting in the middle of the street with him.
Flirting. And you'd recognise that, would you?
She might be making a play for him. Here, I'm going.
Yous are wrecking my head.
Here. Thanks.
And what else did they say? Just the portfolio shoot for now.
OK, we're celebrating. Drinks tonight. Dean, you too.
Ah. You missing me?
Yeah, I admit it. The house is a bit quiet without you.
I'm sure you'll get used to it.
And Leo's away, too.
Why don't you move in with Decco for a few days to acclimatise.
Would that be OK? Yeah. No problem.
OK, I've got to go and get, er,
Dolores's make-up sorted for tomorrow.
It's so sad.
Dolores is strong.
She's going to get better, I know it.
OK, bye. See ya.
Bye.
Can you please stop offering my house out to Kerri-Ann?
What's the problem?
She's getting ideas about moving in.
Only in your wildest fantasies, man.
Well, you and Louise shacking up hasn't exactly helped.
So what? She's a great girl. Yeah, I know that.
But if she moves in, that means there's five of us there,
including her ex.
Yeah, that's a bit of a crowd, alright.
Not exactly the thing romance is made of.
Look, it's going well at the minute. I just don't want to wreck it.
OK, well, make sure that's what she wants.
Otherwise you're making a load of trouble for yourself over nothing.
Yeah. Right, come on. See ya. See ya.
Tommy.
You can relax. I was just leaving. No, wait.
Erm... (CLEARS THROAT)
I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I've been.
It's just... It was a shock, seeing you back here. That's all.
I don't want any more trouble. No, no. I don't either.
Which is why I thought maybe we could go for a coffee sometime
and talk things through.
Why?
Just, if you're going to be sticking around.
You've already had your kicks. I'm done.
Oh, hi. Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
That's OK. Let's go.
Wayne.
Hey.
Now... you just rest. The court exemption.
Did Pete get it?
Ma, you have to stop worrying about that, OK?
How's Junior?
Ah, he's great. Yeah.
He misses you his granny.
We all miss you.
We want you to get back to your old self.
Oh, Wayne... I wanted to say that to you.
Who knows what's going to happen in the next few days?
Well, I'm getting married, for one thing. (CHUCKLES)
Yeah.
I know you're scared, Ma.
I am too. But... maybe this isn't the way to deal with it.
What else is there?
Hey.
Look who I've brought to see you. Father Bertie.
How are you, Dolores? She's pretty tired.
She needs to rest for her recovery.
Well, I just wanted to say congratulations.
I've told him we're getting married in here tomorrow afternoon.
You were wondering if I'd say a few prayers with you beforehand? Yes.
I'd be delighted to. We really appreciate that.
Katy! Hey.
How'd it go? I think I misread the question.
Give me that. Rachel!
It's over. All of it. We're done. I can't believe it.
Oh, the celebrations have started already?
Oh, not yet, but they will. So watch out
Oh, no, you're entitled to celebrate. Exactly.
Get through the Leaving, you can get through anything.
I need to take this off. Burn it.
Rachel! In a barrel.
(LAUGHTER)
Right, we better leave them to it.
And, er, well done again, girls.
Oh. Don't forget, we're taking you out tomorrow.
There's no need.
Ah, come on. We have to celebrate.
Yeah. Anyway, well done again.
See yous. Behave. Bye. See ya. Bye.
Wait until they find out there's nothing to celebrate.
Do you want to hear something funny? Go on.
My folks are gossiping about yours.
Will they, won't they get back together.
You're kidding me? They've nothing else to talk about.
Niamh and my dad are not getting back together.
Oh, and they think the whole car thing, that was a fix.
Sure, I was in it at the time. Yeah, like I said, it's funny.
Hey.
Why are you sitting here by yourself?
I was just thinking.
I was in America when my da died.
And Jessica, too.
Your mam's not going to die.
Then why are they rushing through this wedding?
This wedding is going to make her really happy.
Isn't that enough reason to get behind it?
Yeah.
Why don't we, erm... Why don't we go back in to see her?
You go on, I just want to stay here for a few minutes.
OK.
Hey, Dean?
You seem to be a sensible lad. I don't know who told you that.
This model agency. You know, it's all very flattering,
but... these things never seem to come to anything.
Sure, who says it won't?
Vino's is a steady business.
Could you not talk Louise into putting her energies into that?
I don't think she'd listen to me.
Anyway, I think it'd be good for her. You know, something of her own.
Maybe. Be proud of her.
Alright? Hiyas, girls.
Hey. Hey.
So, are we heading to town, or...? Yeah, you on for it?
Hold on.
One for you.
And one for you.
Little housewarming gifts.
Aw.
What are you trying to say, that we're a pair of mugs, is it?
I'm trying to say that moving in together
was the best thing that you did.
Oh, and don't worry, I got some for us, too. Great.
Right, so, will we head?
I'll see you later, Da.
Aye, er, Louise? One second.
Look... maybe I didn't tell you earlier, but... well done today.
Thank you.
Actually, do you know what? Guys, you go on ahead.
I'm going to stay local tonight. Are you sure?
I have that shoot tomorrow anyway, so.
See? This is the start of it now. Early nights and lettuce leaves.
(LAUGHTER) See ya.
See you later. Bye.
Right, everybody duck! Shut up, you.
What did you just say? It's alright, Caoimhe.
No, no. He's had a few on. Alright? I was just messing.
(DAMIEN) You're not funny. Knock it off.
So we're supposed to pretend nothing happened? He wasn't even around.
So explain it to him.
Or maybe I should show him the hole you left in my shoulder.
How about that? Relax. It was just a bad joke, OK?
Go on. Fill him in. He should know what you're capable of.
What's wrong, Tommy? Lost for words? (DAMIEN) Enough!
Alright? He offered to square things up with you.
If you don't accept, that's fine.
But he deserves a chance to move on. Not what you said yesterday.
That's what I'm saying now, Bob!
Let's get that drink, yeah?
Hey. Solicitor. Good news, finally.
We got the exemption. Oh.
OK? We can get married?
Yeah, well, I gotta get the marriage licence in the morning.
That is fantastic.
No getting out of it now. (LAUGHS)
(GASPS FOR AIR) Dolores?
You're OK. OK, no. Just take slow breaths.
Slow breaths. Take it easy.
There you are.
Is everything alright?
Yeah, it's grand. We got the exemption, so we're going ahead.
Isn't that right?
Well... you'll need these, so.
They're the wedding rings. They were on your list to collect.
They're beautiful? Yeah, beautiful.
So I need you there tomorrow.
You won't let me down? (LAUGHS)
It's going to be a great day, Ma.
