Nash wants to know from Phil what their next move is, but Phil's pre-occupied by the news of Stan's return. Stan, meanwhile, is tormenting Nita. Appearing outside her house, Nita's convinced she's losing the plot. She calls Bryce in desperation. Kaz decides that now's the time to confront Beth about what really happened all those years ago. But sensing what may be coming, Beth bolts before Kaz gets to the truth. Under pressure, Kaz spills his heart to Beth at the stress of not seeing his life, his kids or Man Utd winning the treble. Bryce is about to pull a hypnotized Nita's jeans off when he hears the click of Alice's camera. She calls the cops. Dennis' agoraphobia gets the better of him. He jumps into a JCB that collides with the porch bringing down rubble and water. Nita receives a text from Stan and storms off to Smyrna Grove. Phil, Beth and Alice take off in hot pursuit. While Nash digs in the cellar the lights go out. Stan appears and recriminations fly in all directions. Stan insists on revealing the truth about Evie and storms into the cellar. Evie appears and Stan's appalled that Phil and Beth could believe he had killed their mother. Stan explains that he's only got three months left to live and wanted to bring the family together. All the family gather for Stan's birthday party. Nita steels herself for what seems like the inevitable parting with Nash. Beth finally admits to caving in Kaz's skull and Kaz offers a deal for forgiveness. Nash reveals that he's bought the house. Nita finds out she's won her big contract and Nash has decided to stay with her. More surprisingly, Beth declines a beer. Six months later it's Stan's real funeral. Phil and Nita are both pregnant. Beth meets Dan, Phil's female partner. Beth queries the provenance of Phil's bump. Stan's got his wish, it seems, as the family finally put the past behind them and make new beginnings.
