Come here.
"Today you are more calm and balanced than you have been recently."
"You will gain perspective on past problems that now seem irrelevant."
If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
Exactly.
It's time to forget about Decco and move on with my life.
Yes.
Did you talk to him yesterday?
Can we go somewhere else?
Man up, Bishop. She's a girl, not the guards.
How are youse? Hi.
Alright? Morning.
Are you not even going to talk to me now?
I wouldn't want my voice to annoy you, would I?
I've got to get back to work. I'll see you later. Damien, Louise.
See you. Bye.
I'm gonna be there.
Well, at least they're not making it awkward for the rest of us.
If I have to listen to Kerri-Ann go on about Decco for another second,
I'm gonna scream.
The perks of being the male of the species.
We don't talk feelings. We just let it slowly eat away at us inside.
They need to move on, for my sanity, if not theirs.
I'd get used to it, if I were you.
I can't see this fixing itself anytime soon.
What do you want, Jackie? Have you spoken with her?
No. She's not talking to me on the phone, so I'm gonna have to go in.
Won't Wayne be there? I can handle Wayne.
I know it probably doesn't feel like it,
but maybe it's good it's all out now.
Yeah? And you had to be the one to tell her.
Do you think I wanted to hurt Dolores?
I don't know what goes through your mind, Jackie.
The kiss was a mistake. My mistake, and I told her that.
It wasn't your place. She knew something was going on.
You and Wayne covering it up wasn't making it any better!
Is this why you're here?
To make yourself feel better by shifting the blame?
No. I just wanted to check you were OK.
I'm fine, thank you.
Could you leave now, please?
Yeah.
Well, now Shane's here,
I've got more time on my hands than I've had in 30 years.
That's nice for you. Hardly.
I don't know what to do with myself.
Will you not take on more work somewhere else? Maybe.
And I know one person who'd love to see the back of me.
Oh, the last of my deliveries! I'd forgotten it was still outside.
It looked heavy, so I thought I'd bring it in for you.
Do you not think I could manage? Not at all.
I was teasing. Thanks.
So, Renee. You'll have to tell me when you're next free.
Why's that? You cooked for me.
The least I can do is return the favour.
That'd be lovely. I'll check my diary.
It was nice to finally meet Shane.
Was it? Tell him I'm sorry if I seemed a bit off.
He just caught me on a bad day.
I wouldn't worry yourself. I don't think Shane lost any sleep over it.
Thanks. Bye.
Shane's not going anywhere. You have plenty of time to get to know him.
Yeah. I suppose you're right.
You had dinner with Jim? Yeah.
He came over the other night and we had a bite to eat.
To my place? Well, you were away.
Is that a problem?
I just didn't know that you were so close, that's all.
We're friends. I wouldn't look into it any more than that.
I'm not. Good.
Now... Thanks, love.
Do you need anything else?
Have you spoken to Pete? Forget about Pete.
It's not that easy. Dolores.
You have to stay strong, OK? Just keep away from him.
He'll soon get the message. We're gonna get you through this.
Wayne.
Can we talk? She'll talk to you when she's ready.
OK? I need to explain to you.
Pete, she's tired, so let's not do this.
Please, Dolores.
(NURSE) Morning. Time to change those dressings.
Let's give Dolores a bit of privacy, OK?
I'm going to be back.
We're going to sort out this mess once and for all, OK?
Jane. Oh. Hi.
Things didn't go exactly as I'd hoped they would the other night.
No. But at least it didn't lack any conversation.
In the heat of the moment, we can all say things we regret.
Especially when provoked.
Eoghan knows he can get a bit carried away
when he wants to get his point across.
I guess that's what happens when a man is never really challenged.
What's that mean? Nothing.
Well, anyway, I don't want things to be awkward between us,
so maybe we can make a fresh start for Michael, anyway.
Yeah. I'd like that.
I'm sorry if Eoghan or I said anything to upset you.
Thank you.
Have you got anything you want to say to me?
Apology accepted. I'll see you later.
Thanks again for understanding. I promise it won't happen again.
Here. Thanks. I need this.
That's the second time today I've double booked.
I'm getting worried about you.
You said you weren't going to let Decco get to you.
No! No, don't say the D-word. He's out of my life.
Who is? Decco.
Oh! Well, that was the last time.
Not saying his name is not going to help you forget about him.
Do you know what he bought me yesterday to make up?
Jelly beans. No, wait. Gourmet jelly beans.
I mean, who does that?
Any normal guy would be at that door on his knees with a dozen roses.
Are you not allergic to flowers? And chocolate.
Which is annoying, cos I love it.
Maybe he knows you better than you think.
What can I get you? Two sausage and egg sandwiches to go.
Two healthy breakfasts for the doctors, eh?
How much is that? Seven euro 50.
You know, Renee and I have been friends for a long time.
Have you? Naturally, I'd always look out for her.
Whatever's going on between you two is your business.
Have you something to get off your chest?
I just think it's funny that this relationship that's developed
happened while I was away.
Really? I can't stop you from seeing anyone.
No, you can't.
But you have to understand the same goes for you and Shane.
I'll get that order for you now.
Hi. What do I owe you? 30, is it?
It's 25, actually.
What are you up to?
Nothing. I just want the money I've earned. That's all.
No, really. What's the catch?
I just thought you might see this as part of my trial.
What trial? I told you, I've no jobs going.
No, but when you do have a job going.
(LAUGHS) Why not? I'm your sister.
Exactly. Which is how I know you wouldn't stick it out.
I'm not some moronic kid. I just want to earn a bit of cash.
Look. Just take this, please.
You're unbelievable.
I hope he treats his friends better than he treats his family.
What was that about?
Nothing. I just seem to be on a roll today.
Well, I came to say thank you. For the jelly beans.
It was a bit random, I know, but what else do you get somebody
who's allergic to flowers and chocolate?
It was very thoughtful. I thought you gave them away.
I did, but I was angry.
I still don't know why you said those things about me in the first place.
I was lashing out. I thought it was over between us.
It wasn't.
Until I heard you say all the things about myself I already hated.
Yeah. You didn't deserve that.
Look, I complete understand if you never want to speak to me again.
I don't want that. Everyone messes up.
But I can't just forget what you said.
So I think the best thing to do for now
is to try to be friends.
You knew you'd get his back up by inviting me to yours.
I didn't think he was that sensitive.
Did you set him straight?
I'm sure he'll work it out for himself. See you later.
Goodbye.
We seem to be in the habit of getting in each other's way.
What was that all about?
That's the doctor I clashed with at the surgery.
He's turning up his nose at you?
Typical doctor, thinking they're better than everyone else.
No. It's not cos he's a doctor.
You always have a way of making things bigger than they are.
You're not still mad at me about last night, are you?
I ran you a bath. Even put in those smelling salts you like.
It's not that. Sometimes I don't think I challenge you enough.
Where's that come from?
It was something Jane said.
Don't tell me you're letting that one get in your head.
She has a way of winding me up.
That woman needs taking down a peg or two.
I know that, but that's not for us to do.
Michael needs to figure her out for himself.
Right, I'd better go collect Junior, but I'll pop in to see you later.
Sure. OK.
I'll be right outside if you need me.
I'll be fine.
How are you feeling? Tired.
Fed up of being stuck in here.
The flat feels very empty without you.
What happened, Pete?
Jackie kissed me.
I tried stopping it. That was it.
That was it? Yeah.
If it was that simple, why didn't you tell me from the start?
I wanted you to concentrate on your surgery.
Why would she kiss you? I don't know.
She obviously still loves you. It doesn't matter about her.
This is about us. Mm. You're right.
Do you still have feelings for her? I love you.
That's not what I asked.
Do you still have feelings for Jackie?
I'll take that as a yes.
She was your wife, wasn't she?
Now that your family is back together,
maybe it's what you both want.
Any feelings I had for Jackie are long gone.
It only took her a second to fall for you again.
You can't tell me the same thing won't happen with you.
It won't. I want to be with you.
I'm tired. I just want to rest.
Why would I be in here, fighting for you,
if I wanted to be with someone else?
Now, you've got to believe me.
But you remember this. I love you.
Only you.
Hello. Bob.
I just wanted to apologise for yesterday.
You caught me at a bad moment. It's fine.
I have a temp
who doesn't believe work is part of her job description.
I didn't want you to think I had no time for you.
It's alright. Come in.
I could see you had customers waiting to be fed, anyway.
Between me and you, it's sometimes better to keep them waiting.
Hunger is the best sauce, your grandmother used to say.
I heard she was a great woman. I could tell you some stories.
I'd like to hear them.
Sorry to interrupt. I need you to sign off on a stock order.
Sure.
How are you, Ama? Good. How was your time away?
Yeah, good. Glad to be back and busy.
You know, I was thinking about stopping in at the homeless shelter.
Are you in there much now? That's the plan.
It'd be great to see you if you have the time.
Listen, I'll leave you to it.
See you. Bye, Bob.
You two get along well.
Bob gets along with most people around here.
Just not my dad?
Well, it's a start.
When will you take it to the next level and high five each other?
It's better than a smack in the face.
(PHONE RINGING) Hang on.
Katy.
Why not?
Well, who's going to look after the office?
Alright. That's great. Thank you very much.
That's the problem with being your own boss.
You can never take a day off. See you later.
See you after.
Louise, can you tell me when I became Decco Bishop's agony uncle?
What's wrong now? She's still torturing the poor sod.
I thought she was going to talk to him.
No, she did. They shook hands and agreed to be friends.
They should save their time and get together already.
You're preaching to the converted here.
Maybe it's time we gave them a bit more of a push.
I'm going stir crazy in here. It's not long now.
And when you do get out,
we have the spare room set up for you if you want it.
What do you think?
Oh... I don't really know yet.
You can't go back to the flat now, can you?
That's not your decision to make.
Dolores, we'd love to have you, of course we would,
but it's up to you, what you want.
I hadn't really thought about it, you know?
I suppose I could, but it feels odd.
I planned out the rest of my life with Pete.
So make new plans. Find somebody new.
And throw away the last four years of my life just for one mistake?
It was a pretty big mistake.
He's not the first man in my life to mess up, is he?
I'm just saying,
he's still stood by me over the last six months of hell, hasn't he?
Can you trust him any more?
Oi. Shoes. How many times do I have to tell you?
I thought you popped by to see your ma,
not catch up on your beauty sleep.
Sorry. How long was I out for? Not long.
I'm late. You can't work on an empty stomach.
Do you want a coffee? Yeah.
So, I bumped into Jane earlier. Yeah?
She's very, er... sure of herself.
You don't have to pretend to like her, Ma.
Maybe I just need to get to know her better.
Why? She's your girlfriend.
Don't call her that.
I don't want you to feel like you can't bring her round again.
And you have Eoghan's backing on that, do you?
Look, it's OK that you don't like her. You're different people.
Different in what way? We're not that different.
We're similar in age. Please, Ma. Come on.
Not far off. It's not about age.
It's just... you and Eoghan are more traditional, yeah?
Jane, she's a bit... Yeah. More of a modern woman.
Is that what you're saying? That's one way to put it.
She's not like any woman I've met before.
So, you're the new doctor around here, are you?
I am. Right.
I'd say the number of sick women around here is about to rise.
Thanks.
For the drinks, I mean. Sure. Any time.
I'm fed up of people looking for antibiotics
because they've got a runny nose. They just want a quick fix.
Exactly. There's no such thing. These people don't deserve our time.
You can't say that. People worry. It's in their nature.
It's up to us to reassure them they'll be OK without antibiotics.
Come back to me in ten years and tell me you feel the same.
Imparting wisdom here, Da? You two are lucky I'm still here.
No plans of leaving anytime soon? Do you want rid of your old man?
You're putting words in my mouth.
I just didn't think you were that big a fan of this place.
Bob. Why don't you join us? I don't want to impose.
I'm sure Robert's a busy man. Are you meeting someone?
Just in for a glass on the way home. No excuses, then.
I wanted to ask you more about the set-up of the homeless shelter.
You two have been talking, have you? Bob popped by today.
Did he?
Hey. Hi.
Did you clear things with Dolores? Working on it.
Is there anything else I can do? I think you've done enough.
Hey, Wayne. Could I have a word, please?
You've got some nerve, bringing her in here.
I came looking for Pete. I've been waiting to talk to you.
I've got nothing to say to you. I'm going upstairs to check on my son.
When I come back down, I want you and your bit on the side gone.
I never set out to hurt anyone, you know?
Can anyone now see how this has been blown out of proportion?
What happened, happened, Pete.
So whatever Dolores wants, you're gonna have to try and accept it.
Accept what? That it's over?
It's been a long day. I can't deal with this.
I don't know what it is. I just don't feel well.
Heya. Hi.
How are you? Are you going in for a drink?
That was the plan, yeah.
Why don't you go in with them?
I don't want to ruin your night. I just feel awful.
Oh, no, don't go. Listen, we can look after you.
Can't we, Decco? Yeah, of course.
I'm so sorry. I'll call you tomorrow, OK?
OK. See you, Louise.
Right, are we heading on in? Yeah, actually, you know what?
Oh! I'm after forgetting I have that thing on tonight that I have to do.
What thing? The thing.
What thing?
Ah, you know what I'm up to. Just enjoy yourself, yeah?
See you later.
And then there were two. I'm confused.
Where did he have to go? Nowhere.
It's a set-up.
I told Louise we decided to be friends.
Unless you told Damien something different?
No, I told him the same thing.
Maybe I should just go.
No, no. Look, there's no reason two mates can't have a drink together.
I suppose.
Why don't we forget anything ever happened?
We'll go in, we'll have a drink, you can talk about whatever you want
and I'll chirp in with some bits in between breaths.
Maybe you're right. There's no reason we can't hang out like before.
Exactly.
Who else are you going to get to watch crappy films with you?
And eat nothing but chicken nuggets.
We should have a crappy movie and nugget night.
I'd love that! (LAUGHS)
I've missed you. I missed you as well.
Come here.
OK. Sorry. Sorry.
No. No, it's grand. I don't know what I was thinking.
No, you just surprised me. OK.
Erm... No, come here! Where are you going?
Kerri-Ann! Kerri-Ann!
Alright, Eoghan? Where's Ma? Sleeping in front of the TV.
I thought I'd nip out for a crafty pint.
If she wakes, you've had it. You better get pouring, then.
Sure.
Here, Jane.
I just wanted you to know that I can take any insults you throw my way,
for Michael's sake,
but I won't have you talking down to my wife again.
Do you understand me?
Are you threatening me?
Just a friendly warning to tread carefully.
Is everything OK? Yeah. Couldn't be better.
The situation is getting worse.
I see it more and more in the shelter,
people looking for clothes and food. It'd break your heart.
You could feed them in your chip shop.
He's still got to run a business. Thank you.
So I thought I'd try to give back in another way.
We need more people in the community who think like that.
Exactly. Right, I'm off. Early start tomorrow.
Me too.
Oh, and I can't forget to drop off our card to Dolores.
Oh, I forgot. How is she? OK, I think.
I heard the operation went well. That's good news.
She needs a bit of luck after all she's been through.
See you. See you later.
I thought we agreed to stay away from each other.
I didn't want to be rude to Shane.
Well, I never thought I'd see the day
that the two of you would be drinking together.
It was forced on me. Well, I'm glad.
Whether you like it or not, you're going to see each other around,
so you might as well grow up and try and get on with each other.
