♪ ♪ Everything okay?

(laughs) Whoa!

(gasps) (laughs) How do you feel?

Like Jean Jones!

Well, you look like her, as well!

For the first time in my life, I, I feel like I'm being true to who I am.

Who I really am.

To Jean.

That is the most important thing, my darling.

Thank you, so, so much!

(door opens) What the hell are you playing at?

You can't just wander off!

Come on.

I don't think so.

We happen to be in the middle of a fitting, so I'm going to ask you to leave our premises and give the lady some privacy.

I'm going nowhere without Tilly.

You best go find her, then.

Jean has more clothes to try on.

What are you talking about?

Don't be so ridiculous, you stupid girl.

You're fired!

What?

You heard her.

You're fired.

Now sling your hook!

You need to leave!

♪ ♪ You are done!

CATHY: On the contrary.

She's just getting started.

♪ ♪ Oh!

(chuckling) (all laughing) (knock at door) (calling): Not a good time!

GEORDIE: Open the door, Alphy.

(knocking) (knocker tapping) (door opens) (door closes) Well, come in, why don't you?

I thought you should know Leighton confessed to killing Malcolm Riley.

Well, I can't believe I didn't see it.

Mm!

Well, you were pie-eyed.

Uh... Yeah, okay, I should've suspected something.

Don't make this about you, Alphy.

Oh, is he your new sidekick, is he?

Actually, Leonard came to see me because he was worried about you.

And he's not the only one.

You've been neglecting your duties.

Oh, for goodness' sake, Leonard.

Is this about the kid again?

You aren't prepared to help look after a child who is about to be orphaned, but you can quite happily hole up in some seedy club and gamble with a murderer!

And they better not have been vicarage funds!

Of course not.

Why should I believe you?

You're not behaving in a very Christian manner and you are certainly not behaving as a man of the cloth should.

You mean, how you would.

You don't know how privileged you are to hold such a position.

Privileged?

Everything I went through, I never lost faith, not once.

Even when it felt as if everything was against me, I still clung on to... Oh, give it a rest, will you, Leonard?!

Look, I'm sorry the bishop rejected you, really, I am.

But look at what you have got.

You do God's work running the halfway house, you get to live with your partner, and yet here you are, still clinging on to the past for dear life!

♪ ♪ Hang on!

That's a bit rich, isn't it?

What?

Your mother?

What about her?

The way she treated you.

Is that why you're behaving like this?

Rejecting everyone around you who's trying to help?

No, you would not have a job if it weren't for me helping you over the years!

And now what, you want to jack it all in, put yourself out to pasture in some mind-numbing desk job and, and ignore me?

Like you do your family?

♪ ♪ You are not a copper!

You've only just noticed?

Can't exactly call yourself a vicar, either!

You know what, I'm, I'm not listening to any more of this hypocritical, sanctimonious rubbish!

And I want you to leave.

Now.

♪ ♪ You know, I, I've tried with you, Alphy.

I really have.

I've given you friendship, support... Love, even.

But I'm tired of it all.

You have your wish.

From now on, you're on your own.
