[Daniel-X]

Friday 21st November:

The opening starts with Freddie staring at his reflection in the mirror as he washes his face he stares blankly for a few seconds before swinging for the mirror knocking it over and smashing it in frustration. Dennis sits on a worn out bed in a B&B in Blackpool as he rubs his eyes looking at his phone for any messages from Blessing however he is unable to find any. The montage ends on The McQueens sat round the living room all looking weary as Celine brings over a tray of tea and coffee.

Freddie is seen walking outside with a huge bin bag which looks like it's stuffed full of clothing before he bumps into Nancy and drops the contents of the bag onto the floor. "Seriously do people just not look in the direction they're walking anymore" Nancy says sarcastically as Freddie frantically picks up the clothing as sweat drops from his forehead before he walks off quickly. "You know a sorry would be nice at least" Nancy says rolling her eyes before walking off.

Blessing is sat down at breakfast in the B&B with Frankie as she plays with her cornflakes "Come on Blessing just go over and patch things up with him the way you're frowning at your cornflakes watching them sink to the bottom just shows how much you want him back" Frankie laughs sipping her tea "I do love Dennis you've gotta understand but I just don't know anymore how to feel about him" Blessing sighs "We'll go for a walk on the promenade later clear you're head you look like you need to get some fresh sea air into those lungs" Frankie explains before Dennis walks over looking sheepish "Blessing can I have a word outside?" Dennis asks she lingers for a few seconds on the answer before sighing "You've got five minutes make them good" Blessing tells him grabbing her handbag and following him outside.

Porsche is seen on the phone outside "Okay, love you see you soon" she says down the phone as Celine walks to the door "You've made things worse enough with this family for stealing that ring don't burn your bridges anymore by ringing Lockie when Mercedes is missing" Celine tells her "Oh sorry for having a few minutes on the phone to my newly wedded husband surely even the McQueens can forgive me of such a crime" Porsche says sarcastically putting her phone into her pocket "I'm not saying she shouldn't be on the phone to him but make more of an effort Porsche to show that you care" Celine says nicely putting her hand on her sisters shoulder "She's gone to Alicante we don't need to worry..." Porsche says "We don't know that yet Porsche!" Celine says becoming agitated with her sister. "Guys, we've found something you need to come and see" Theresa says from the door as everyone is sat in the living room still Myra is seen looking more worried than before crying slightly "What? What is it auntie Myra?" Porsche enquires "It's Mercedes' plane ticket for Alicante she never went" Nana says passing the ticket to Porsche to look at it.

Freddie is seen setting fire to the bag of clothes we saw him carrying before he watches the flames go up as cinders and ashes fly from the clothes he takes a deep breathe before walking away and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Lindsey is sat in hospital as Joe tickles Joe Junior underneath his chin "I'm gonna go get some coffees for us' Joe smiles before placing Joe Jnr in his bed, before Kim comes over and smiles "He's a cutie isn't he, never thought I'd be an auntie I though you never wanted kids a few years ago" Kim smirks at Lindsey "Yeah well people change don't they" Lindsey says frustratedly. "Post natal depression is it I mean it doesn't start usually so early on after birth maybe yours is a special case" Kim bites back to her last comment "Sorry, it's just Kim I don't know how to say this but I need to tell you you're my sister and you'd keep a secret for me right?" Lindsey asks "Well Joe might not be the babies father it might be Freddie and I'm leaving today for good with Freddie and I need your help!" Lindsey says frantically as Kim stares at her utterly stunned.

Dennis and Blessing stand outside as he holds Blessings hands tightly on the promenade as it is shown they have previously made up "I meant what I said Blessing I do love you and I'd do anything to protect you" Dennis says burying his head into hers "I know but what about the diamonds for Trevor..." Blessing is about to explain as Dennis looks into his pocket pulling out the small case which the diamonds are in "I say we bid farewell remember this a new chapter for me and you" he smiles before he throws them into the sea Blessings eyes go wide as Dennis turns round and sees her expression "What?" he asks "Nothing" she smiles before turning her head away from him and gulping.

"So Mercedes hasn't gone to Alicante" Celine says "Well unless she sneaked onto the bloody plane!" Nana says sarcastically "Perhaps she's just playing a game with us you know typical old Mercedes" Myra laughs trying to make light of the situation "This isn't sitting right with me guys" Phoebe gulps "Stop it Phoebe!" Myra says easing her voice "Look I think we all need some sleep to be honest we didn't have much last night did we because we were all upset about Mercedes" Theresa smiles weakly "How can we sleep when Mercedes might be buried in a ditch in the middle of some woods!" John-Paul shouts "Stop it all do you!" Myra says covering her mouth and running outside as floods of tears pour down her face.

Kim rubs her forehead stressfully as she paces up and down Lindsey's room "I still don't know how you expect me to do this!" Kim yells at Lindsey "keep your voice down" Lindsey hisses "it would be a whole lot easier if you would help me with this but if you don't then it's your decision but you're not half the sister I thought you were" Lindsey says bitterly "Lindsey you're asking me to help you run away with a man who you're having an affair with who is your husbands brother who may or may not be the father of your child sorry but it's quiet a lot to take in at once" Kim hisses "Please Kim" Lindsey says softening her voice as tears from in her eyes "I need you to pack me a bag I'll sign the birth certificate while I've already texted Joe telling him he won't want to come to hospital as there's quiet a few disgusting woman stuff being shown then I'll flee" Lindsey says "Okay" Kim says as she hugs her sister tightly as tears fall down her face "I'll be back soon and we can have a proper goodbye" Kim smiles weakly.

Dennis and Blessing as they walk along the promenade hand in hand as Frankie and Jack pass by "So you're back together then I take it you to so there'll be no trouble in paradise" Frankie smirks "No well unless Blessing looses another earring like she did in the B&B" Dennis smirks as Blessing punches his arm playfully. "So is this goodbye then" Frankie and Jack say walking over "Well our boat comes in an hour and with the bus there and stuff probably" Dennis says as he hugs them both saying goodbye "She is the most beautiful woman you'll ever find look after her" Jack smiles "I'll try" Dennis smirks before Frankie and Jack walk on "I'm so excited yet nervous it's a new page for us Dennis" Blessing says kissing him tenderly "It's a whole new novel" Dennis says hugging her tightly before they walk away.

Freddie pulls up outside the hospital in a taxi before walking to the front door of the hospital "I'm here Lindsey" Freddie says on the phone "What? You were only meant to come in another half hour" Lindsey hisses down the phone "I'll buy you all the new clothes you want Lindsey we've got to go now... I love you and I need you and if we don't do this now we'll be stuck in this horrible little village forever having to keep our feelings for each other to ourselves" Freddie says down the phone "Well I've signed the birth certificate just... Yes of course I've listed you as the father" Lindsey lies as it is revealed she has put Joes name. "I'll be there in just five minutes wait for me.. I love you" Lindsey smiles down the phone before getting into a lift as Freddie waits looking fidgety for a few seconds checking his phone before a hand taps him on his shoulder a pair of red high heels move up slowly to reveal Mercedes stood their smirking as she lifts up her leopard print top and reveals a fresh scar from where she was stabbed "Turns out that checking a pulse is not one of your strong points" Mercedes smirks as Freddie looks shocked and drops his phone to the floor.
