The doorbell rings at the Mansfields. Vicky rushes to the door, expecting it to be Daniel. It turns out to be Kyle's father Geoff. Daniel is sat in the car with Marian. Geoff looks over at the pile of Daniel's belongings.
Geoff: Is that all of it?
Vicky: It's enough for a visit...
Geoff: He's not just coming for a visit...
Vicky: Please Geoff, see some sense will you?
Geoff: It's not open for discussion.
Nick: (To Vicky) Look let the dust settle, then he'll be back...
Vicky is lost for words, overwhelmed by the situation that is unfolding.
Nick: Do you need a hand taking them to the car?
Geoff: No.
Rebecca walks into the hallway, arms folded.
Rebecca: How can you do this!? Seperating a mother and child...
Geoff: What like she did to Kyle and Marian? Thanks to her we'll never see our son again...
Geoff picks up Daniel's belongings and takes them to the car.
Geoff: I'll get the rest later in the week.
Vicky: Daniel! Daniel!
Daniel turns away from Vicky, she attempts to run outside but Nick holds her back.
Vicky: I want my son! I want Daniel!
Nick keeps hold of her, trying to calm her down.
Nick: It'll be fine babe, give him time, it's just a lot for him to get his head around...he'll be back...
Vicky: Will he though?
Nick: I promise you...

INT. SINGH'S HOUSE - MORNING
Sanjita and Iqbal talk about Andonis and Granny.
Sanjita: I can't believe he said that to me! He sounded just like Kash then, he had such a look of hatred in his eyes when he looked at me!
Iqbal: Don't beat yourself up about it...it's just his way of dealing with Kash's death.
Sanjita: It's not right to take it out on me and it don't help having her here! I swear to god that woman has hated me since day one! How dare she think she can share the same roof as me?! I swear to god…
Granny walks in and interrupts.
Granny: You’ll go to hell talking like that! But the pair of you are already going there, adulterers!
Iqbal: Look, whilst your under this roof...
Granny: (interrupting) I won't take orders from you! I'm ashamed to call you my son!
Iqbal: I don't know what you hope to achieve, spreading your misery and morals! We aren't gonna change our ways, so if that's your agenda, you might as well go now!
Granny: You have no shame do you?! Speaking to me like this! I will go when i'm good and ready! First, i have to bury my son, the son you both drove to his grave!

Claire leaves the Andrews' house, with Nathan in the push chair. She walks out of Elmcorft Way, towards the shops.
A luxury sports car speeds into the village, clearly over the speed limit. As it turns the corner into Elmcroft Way it almost runs over Claire, who is crossing the road.
Claire almost screams, but the car manages to slam it's break, and stop within milimetres of her and Nathan. The driver of the car Luke Newman (Luke Roberts) gets out of the car and rushes towards Claire.
Luke: Oh my god are you okay!?
Claire: Just about! What the hell are you playing at!?
Luke: Driving my car!
Claire: Yeah, well above the speed limit!
Luke: Hey, calm down darlin', no harm's done...
Claire: Don't "darlin" me you cocknee ****! You almost ran over me and my child!
Luke: You should consider yourself lucky, I dont run over every girl I meet :p
Claire: I should bloody hope not!
Luke: Only the attractive ones...
Claire: Oh go away, on your bike mate...
Luke: You're loss "darlin'"...
Luke gets back into the car and drives away. Once out of sight Claire gives a slight smile of impression, at the latest arrival to the village.

Andonis, Sanjita and Iqbal sit at the dinner table, giving one another daggered looks.
Iqbal: This is just ridiculous, aplogise to your mother...
Andonis: No.
Iqbal: Aplogise NOW!
Granny walks in just as Iqbal raises his voice.
Granny: Don't let him bully you into anything Andonis, I agree with you all the way, she is unfit to be called a mother!
Sanjita bites her lip, casting a look of contempt towards Granny.
Iqbal: I can't believe the ordasity of you! Insulting us to our face! What the hell makes you think you have the right!?

Iqbal: Not if you expect to be given food and shelter...
Granny: I don't want anything from you, I shall eat at the local cafe later on...
Sanjita: Even a greasy spoon has standards...
Granny: Pretty low ones to let you in. (Turns to Andonis) Do you have everything sorted for the burial Andonis?
Andonis: Everything but the wake...
Granny: What is the problem?
Andonis: No one will hold it...
Sanjita: I wonder why :rolleyes:
Granny: What about the local public house!? Surely they would hold a wake for us?
Andonis: They refused...
Granny: How dare they! He was an upstanding member of the local community, I shall go speak to them!
Andonis: No Gran, don't...
Granny: No, I must go and sort this out straight away...
Andonis: Please Gran! You don't want to be doing that!
Granny: Nonsense!
