INT. ANDREWS' HOUSE - DAY
Claire arrives home.
Claire: (shouting) Mom! Mom! Are you ok?
Claire peers round into the sitting room where she sees Val flat out on the floor with a bottle of vodka in her hands, snoring. Claire picks up Nathan.
Claire: (to self) Oh dear! What's mom gone and done now!?
She picks up the photo of James and puts it back on the shelf, then puts a blanket around Val. She looks at her mother as she leaves the room, increasingly concerned.
Even more confused now, but well done guys loving it :D
INT. ANDREWS' HOUSE - MORNING
Claire and Emma are in the kitchen talking about their mother.
Claire: I'm really worried about her Emma..i really don't know what we could do...
Emma: I shouldn't start ringing alarm bells 'till she's pouring the voddy in her cornflakes! She just needs a new man in her life..
Claire: It's not as easy as going out and just pulling! She was married to dad for 20 years! It's not easy to get over him!
Emma: No one says she has too! If mom's one thing, she's a survivor! She picks herself up and moves on with a smile on her face...i'm sure this will pass...
We cut to Val who is standing by the kitchen door. Val has been listening to their conversation from the outside.
INT. HARVEY'S HOUSE - MORNING
Leah comes down the stairs, where Craig is waiting at the bottom.
Craig: Well morning gorgeous..
Craig kisses Leah.
Craig: Happy birthday.
Leah: I hope you haven't made a big fuss...
Craig: Your half way through your 30s!
Leah: Don't remind me! I'm feeling older by the day..
Craig: It must be my maturity rubbing off on you!
Leah: So where's my present then?!
Craig pulls something out of his pocket. He presents her with a small box.
Leah: Jewellery?
Craig: No...
Intrigued, Leah opens the small box. There is a key inside.
Leah: What's this for?!
Craig grabs hold of Leah's hand.
Craig: Follow me..
INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - DAY
Claire and Amy are behind the bar discussing Val's current situation.
Claire: I dunno Am', I'm just worried about her...
Amy: Of course you are, she's your mom, you're bound to be concerned...
Claire: Can't you take her out shopping for the day, cheer her up a bit?
Amy: Of course, but that's not gonna solve the problem, your mom has too much spare time on her hands, she needs to join a club or something...
All of a sudden Val walks into the pub, Claire tries to hush Amy from talking further, Val notices this.
Val: Oh I'm sorry should I just walk back out again whilst you two bitch about me...
Claire: Mom...
Val: No I heard you and Emma discussing MY life this morning, what right have you to judge me!?
Claire: We're just worried about you mom, all of us are...
Val: Well you've got nothing to be worried about okay!? I'm fine! So enough of the snide comments behind my back okay!?
Val storms out of the pub, leaving Claire and Amy feeling guilty for talking about her.

Craig leads Leah down the street and stops her outside Daniel's nightclub.
Craig: You can open your eyes now...
Leah: What am I look at?
Craig yanks down the for sale sign.
Craig: Every princess needs her palace, this is for you babe...
Leah: (Shocked) Craig I can't accept this off you...
Craig: Don't be so daft, I want you to have it...
Leah: But what about my job at the gym!?
Craig: You can tell Tanya bloody Taylor where to stick it, you are now the owner of Baymoore's one and only nightclub.
Leah: Oh Craig! I don't know what to say!
Craig: Well thank you for starters?
Overjoyed, Leah jumps into Craig's arms and the pair end up in a romantic embrace.
The camera cuts to the other side of the road as Stuart witnesses the scene infront of him, before driving off.
ah so Craig bailed Kyle out... he gets the club at long last!!! forgot about the whole stuart thing.. Great writing guys.. still loving it
INT. ANDREWS' HOUSE - NIGHT
Val is sat in the living room, the end credits of Emmerdale are now on screen. She gets up, carrying her tray with her finished microwave meal on it. As she heads towards the door, Claire and Emma walk in.
Val: What's going on, I thought I was home alone tonight?
Emma: We're taking you out!
Val: Oh I don't know I wanted to stay in and watch the soaps...
Claire: We aren't taking no for an answer.
Val: I'm not in the mood girls...
Val walks over towards the drinks cabinet. Claire snatches the bottle off her.
Claire: You aint sitting in all night getting rat arsed again. If you want to drink, then you come out with us and do it at a bar!
Val: And what about Nathan eh? We can't just leave him on his own!
Claire: Amy's going to look after him for the night...
Val: You're not gonna take no for an answer are you?
Both: No!
Val: Ok I suppose a couple of drinks wont do any harm...
Val heads off upstairs to get dressed. Claire and Emma smiled at one another, pleased at their efforts.
INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT
The pub is pretty heaving. Patrick and Amy are rushed off their feet.
Patrick: The sooner Vicky comes back the better, I can't believe how busy we are!
Amy: You'll have to fly solo in a bit, I've got to look after Nathan...
Patrick: Are you having a laugh woman!? Have you seen the ques!?
Amy: Sorry babe but I promised...
Patrick rolls his eyes at his wife's decision to leave him alone. The camera cuts to Sanjita and Iqbal who are having a quiet drink.
Iqbal: Hey come on, we came out to put a smile on your face, so let's see one eh?
Sanjita: There's not been much to smile about recently...
Iqbal: Well there should be, let's start looking to the positives...
As Iqbal says this one of the police detectives from the interview comes into the Red Rum and walks towards Iqbal. The pub falls silent.
Detective: Mr Singh, would you mind coming with us to the station, there has been some developments in the case...
Iqbal: what kind of developments!?
Detective: If you could just come with us...
Iqbal: No! I want to know what this is about!
Detective: The post mortem has lead us to believe that Kashmir Singh didn't jump off the quarry...
Sanjita: You what!?
Iqbal: Well this is rubbish! Dammit if you think I'm coming with you!
Detective:Fine then...Iqbal Singh I am arresting you on the suspicion of the murder of Kashmir Singh, you do not have to say anything, but anything you do say will be written down and may be something that you later rely on in court...
Sanjita: No! You can't do this! You've got it all wrong!
The police lead Iqbal out of the pub, Sanjita follows after him worried. As they all leave Andonis walks through the pub door, a smug grin on his face.
Can't believe that Adonis did that??? he wasn't even there so how would he know what happened???
