There was something in the garden! The lights went out! I'm sorry.
There was someone in the garden! No, no, no, it's fine.
I went out there, by myself... What's that?

I left my laptop on.
That's all. OK, come on, come on! We can do it. Rochelle! Stand up. OK.
I need you to both wait here. Rochelle!
I need you to wait here for me.
If I'm not back in a few minutes, go over to Cath and Tom's
and tell them that I need them, OK?
OK? You're fine, you're fine.

Why are we sleeping here?
It's just fun.
What are we doing?
Just playing church.
Lie down.
Night. Night. Night.
I love you. I love you more. Love you.
Fuck this.
CRACKLING
Do you believe in ghosts?
No. But your mum did.
Why did she do it?
HE RUNS TAP
HE TURNS OFF TAP
Your mum, she existed in a world that just didn't fit
with the one we live in.
She had her demons.
What do you mean? Problems, love.
Some she told me about and some she didn't.
But why?
Your mother was a...
..great but complicated lady.
She loved you, though, more than anything.
I've got a job on in Manchester today,
but I can cancel, spend the rest of it with you, if you want?
It's OK. I just...
I just wonder sometimes.
I'm all right.
I'm supposed to be meeting my mates, anyway.
Well, I'm here to stay, Roch. I'm going nowhere...
..except for Manchester.
And with that, I'll leave you to sort out your breath.

Hiya, love.
Mum?
I've come back cos I know how sad you are. Can't be, no way!
I'm with you, wherever you go.
I see what you see.
You're never alone. No! I helped you when you needed me.
I lit up your life. I brought you the dress.
I'm watching over you...
..you and your so-called friends.
And I'm going nowhere.

I'm not going to work today.
Are you ready to talk about it?
There's nowt to talk about. Rochelle's sly - she kissed Noah.
And she's been ignoring my calls. And then she posts this.
MUSIC: Somebody To Love by Jefferson Airplane
I don't get her. I've done nowt wrong.
SHE SIGHS I feel like shit, Mum.
I know it feels like your entire world's turning upside down.
You and Roch have grown up together.
And I know that you'll do what's right for both of you. Hmm?
Until then, the best way is to just get on with things.
Things will turn out right. You'll see.
Liam, I'm getting you! You're going to ruin your bloody...
Argh! Get off me!
You're embarrassing me! Then be good and work hard.
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
Bye!
Hey, Roch? Hang on!
You OK?
Look, I don't know why you did that to Wren, and Noah has no idea
why you kissed him, but ignoring the rest of us
when we've been messaging you?
What are you on about?
I've been messaging you, all of you!
And I said sorry to Wren!
I fucking apologised! Roch, I've got nothing from you - none of us have.
Oh, you know what? Just fucking leave me alone!
I've got to go.
Roch, what's happening?
Tell Wren I'm going to sort it out.
ANTONY, ON PHONE: Just saw Roch. She didn't seem right.
She said to tell Wren she's going to sort it out.
No, she lied.
I can't believe we never thought of this before. You're a genius, Taz.
So Ashley's parents have been running this place for a year,
and this never occurred to you?
Running it sweatshop style - they don't even pay me!
It's child labour. THEY LAUGH
I can't stop thinking about Roch. She's not been herself. Too right.
She's gunning for me. How? You kissed her. She kissed ME.
I weren't expecting it. I was dead shocked. I didn't know what to do.
If you ask me... No-one has.
..this is your routine coup you've got going on.
Wren is making a bid at leader, and Rochelle's, you know,
going after her man. What are you on about? Think about it.
Wren's used a minor infringement from Rochelle... Minor?
She kissed Noah! Oh, somebody call Bolton News - two teenagers kissed!
Shut your face, Taz!
I know me and Wren are getting closer,
but that's not going to change owt between her and Roch.
We're all mates.
It's a universal truth that mates who hook up can ruin
a friendship group. Me and Wren ain't even together! Still a coup!
Er, mind! There's no coup, Taz. And, hey, Roch ain't our leader.
Who makes the plans for you lot? BOTH: Roch.
Well, that's funny, that, because, um,
who made the Dickheads group chat? Cos I've just forgotten, sorry.
BOTH: Roch. Wow!
So if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... OK, fine,
Rochelle's leader, what are we, then? Plebs?
Noah's general of the army. Mm.
What about me?
Minister for Entertainment.
Ooh! Really? Yeah, definitely. I'll take that.
What about Ash?
Minister for Propaganda.
Yeah, Goebbels.
If I were Minister of Propaganda, I'd get rid of you, Taz,
and make it look like it were an accident.
Ohh! Ohh!
Oh, I would not have that.

I'll do that for you when I'm done here.

Nice meeting you.

So that's Simon.
Rach says he's a teacher at the uni, but I call him Quite Simon.
Your mum's all like, "Oh, he's quite nice.
"He's quite handsome. He's quite good in bed."
Shut up, she didn't say that?!
No, but I assumed so.
Right, I'm going to stick the oven on,
these Kyiv balls are all I've thought about today.
The Rochelle drama ongoing? Yeah.
I need to go over there.
Is that all right?
Knock yourself out. I'll have the Kyiv balls waiting.
Thank you!
Mwah!
Watching a classic tonight.
Carrie. Yeah.
Talk about teen drama.
Come on, while I'm young. Cheek!
I can fire you, you know, even if you are our daughter.
Oh, yeah. It'd be such a shame to lose a job you've never paid me for.
It all contributes to the family -
your clothes, your food, your Netflix.
Besides, I told you, we'd start giving you the tips.
Excuse me, love. I won't be a sec for you, love.

This letter, it's really worrying.
What?
What? What are you showing me?
Oh, my God, it's gone.
It knows. What does?
Wren, did you not read any of that?!
Yeah.
And if any of it is true, Roch, then we need to call a priest.
What happened to your mum was awful.
Roch, you know this don't make sense,
but I think you've written this
because you can't admit you've been a dick.
You just don't get it.
Why are you saying I'm doing all of this shit, Rochelle? I...
You just have no idea! You have no idea!
It knows me.
It follows you round.
What does? Fucking Red Rose!
No... Red Rose... Roch,
this is all you.
Wren. Wren!
Wren! Get off me!
Get off me, no!
Wren, please!
Get off...!

What's going on with Rochelle and Wren, then?
Aw, can't a girl enjoy a pasty in peace? It's a coup.
It's complicated.
And you've done enough damage. Wren keeps getting horrible messages.
She did a horrible thing, shoving her down like that.
Tell Rochelle if she wants real mates to give us a call,
she can stand with us. No-one deserves that.
Now, stop fishing, my pasty's getting cold.
This is the calm before the storm.
Let's all get together tonight
and we can sort this out intervention style.
I'm not hanging around with you lot all summer,
AND I need to dilute him with more people. No offence.
You DO mean offence, though. Fine, offence intended.
Can you two not? There's enough going on already.

Look, I tried to help her.
Believe me.
Any of yous lot contacted her?
Yeah.
And she's ignored you, right?
She's just taking it out on us cos... Cos you pushed her.
SHE grabbed ME.
She hurt me, and I was just getting her off.
But she filmed it and then posted it like a weirdo.
She keeps blaming all this weird shit on Red Rose.
You what?
What?
Roch, when she kissed me, she said, "I'm sorry, I had to do it."
She said it was Red Rose.
And she wrote me this letter blaming
all her weird shit on Red Rose.
What the fuck is Red Rose?
It's bullshit.
What else did this letter say?
I can't really remember.
Something about her phone doing it all.
When she came into the shop the other day, she...
..she said she was seeing something on her phone.
She did say she weren't getting our messages.
She has to be lying.
She mentioned her mum.
There's no way that's real.
What happened to her mum?
She took her own life.
Doesn't matter if what she's saying is true.
It sounds like a cry for help.

Look, I know it's hard.
And I know it's easy to believe
something else could do this to Rochelle,
than her, you know?
But you didn't see his face.
When you said what you said in that church, he looked...
..lost, Wren. More lost than he needs to be right now.
After Gloria and Rochelle...
..you saying that just puts gas on the fire.
Please don't mention this in front of Vinny.
He's been through enough.
INDISTINCT
May she rest in peace.
Wren.
Why did you have to say that, Wren? Better than saying nothing.
No, it's not. We all missed the warning signs.
We didn't want to see what was happening to her.
What happened to her had nowt to do with us.
It's not Wren's fault, no matter what people are saying.
No. It were all our fault.
We got caught in the crossfire between Wren and Rochelle.
The usual... Oh, shut up, Taz. This isn't a war movie.
What are you even doing here? You didn't even know Rochelle.
I DID know Rochelle. Just cos I didn't stand with you
doesn't mean she weren't my mate.
She stuck up for me when people were shit to me.
Rochelle was my friend. She was a friend to all of us.
If we'd just tried helping her,
instead of kissing her or pushing her.
I did.
I went to her house. And, yes, she were acting mental
and she were acting weird, but...
..she'd never do this.
Not after her mum. Not in a million years.
Just... I know Rochelle, she... PHONE ALERT
That's what people always say, when someone...
Nothing about this makes sense.
Wren? What is it?
Is this some sort of sick joke? Oh, my God.
