You slept with him.

What about Neal?

I love him.

I love what we have. It's... complicated.

Dad, I thought you were having an affair with Zoya Bassu.

Can you imagine my surprise when she told me

who she really was?

It was an arranged marriage in Delhi

before I came to this country.

Why is my dad giving Zoya Bassu 200 grand?

It's about my daughter, Indira.

I think my ex-husband is trying to abduct her.

We propose for Indira to be subject to an assessment

in order to establish her feelings.

Look, can I come in?

Are you sure?

Why did you show up at my door?

I wasn't thinking straight.

I slept with someone else.

I'm going to go for a walk.

And when I come back...

...I don't want you to be here.

I slept with someone else.

Aria?

Aria!

Is Neal on his way?

Must have got held up.

Can you give me a second?

Of course. Thanks.

Listen,

I could ask you what is going on between the two of you,

but part of me

is afraid that you might actually tell me,

and then I will have to pick a side.

And when mother-in-laws do that,

it never ends well.

It's fine.

We'll figure it out.

OK.

What do you think of these

for the arch, and this for the table centrepieces?

Lovely!

And this is a mock-up of the bouquet.

Can you just hold it for me for a moment?

Now? OK. Yeah, yeah.

Just for idea of size, huh? I'll take a snap.

Smile.

As far as prodigal half-sisters go, I think

we could've done a lot worse. Why am I

the only one who has no interest in trusting someone

who came into our lives shrouded in bloody lies?

She's in the middle of child abduction proceedings.

Considering you're both going through horrendous divorces,

I would have thought you'd show a flicker of empathy.

Oh, empathy would have been you telling us

as soon as you found out, don't you think?

OK, how was the florist this morning, Aria?

Great.

Yeah. Except when the groom didn't turn up.

What? PHONE RINGS

Oh, grab this.

Hello?

Kav!

Yeah, I'm just on the way up now.

Just so I'm clear here,

it was just a one-time thing with Luke,

it didn't mean anything, right?

Aria, you need to be sure,

like, 100% sure, before you do this.

How is that even possible?

I refuse to feel sorry for you.

I didn't ask you to.

Figure out who you can't live without.

Oof!

I'm just hoping that it arrived on time.

Awww!

Er, wedding gifts from clients.

Yeah, shall we move these, Kav?

OK...

Hey. Where's Neal? Boardroom.

How many flowers does one girl need?

Hey.

I've been calling and texting.

I know you're upset,

but I can't fix this if you won't let me explain.

Look, I get you want to punish me. I deserve it.

You think that's what I'm doing? Punishing you?

We're supposed to be getting married tomorrow,

and you won't even speak to me.

You really think you're the only person

that's met someone they felt attracted to?

You don't think that's ever happened to me

in all the years that we've been together?

The difference, Aria...

...is I respect you.

It was all I could think about last night,

wondering who this guy was,

and how you met him and when you decided

to throw caution to the wind for a night of casual sex.

Neal, I'm so sorry. Who is it?

You know what, don't, don't, don't. Don't. I don't think I can...

I refuse to be a safe option.

I refuse to be the one that you take for granted,

you just assume will always be there for you,

no matter how badly you behave.

That's not who I am. It's not.

I don't know whether to believe you.

And until I do...

...I'm not sure I still want to marry you.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Dad's office now.

You too, Neal. Yeah...

DOOR OPENS

Er... Erm, I wanted to clear the air,

answer any questions that any of you might have about Zoya.

I don't want this hanging over the wedding,

so...

Yeah.

Ask away.

OK.

When did she first make contact with you?

About six months ago.

Why did she get in contact?

She wanted her inheritance.

She was asking for 25%

of the value of the firm in cash.

25%?! I know.

I told her it was a crazy ask.

She came up here to convince me otherwise.

And did she?

Well, the only way I could raise that kind of money

was to sell

her stake of Kishan Law to an umbrella company.

What? You can't be serious, Dad.

Which firm?

Cartwells stepped forward.

But they want me to stay on as MD. So I went back to Zoya.

I said, no, it's not possible,

and I offered her £200,000.

Which she refused.

What are you going to do?

The cash offer still stands.

Plus, that I will include her in my will.

And if she doesn't take it?

Then she leaves with nothing.

Has she got a standing to take this through the court?

I don't think so, no. No.

Then why are we still talking about it?

I'm sorry, you all seem to have forgotten

that I'm signing my divorce papers today!

PHONE BUZZES

It's your mum.

Hi!

Ah, yeah, that's great. Send it through.

She's just sending the final seating plan.

OK, what's going on between you two?

It's fine.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Peace offering?

No, thank you. Please, Zoya.

It's about Indy.

I take it you've read Indy's assessment?

Yes. And, erm, reading it made me realise that we should

put our differences aside for her sake.

Then I guess you should have thought about that

before you tried to relocate our daughter

without my permission.

I just want her to spend as much time with her grandmother

as she can before it's too late.

I... I'm sorry, OK? I...

I can't be that far away from her.

You wouldn't have to be.

Kav said you wanted to see me.

Can you come in a second?

Shut the door.

DOOR CLOSES

I told Neal I slept with someone else.

I-I didn't say who.

And-And he didn't ask?

Well, he... doesn't want to know.

Erm, I think it's too painful for him.

Wow.

And, er...

...is the wedding still going ahead?

Honestly, I don't know.

But I wanted to say that...

...even if it doesn't...

...it's not because of you.

Yeah, whatever happens, it's...

...it's on me, entirely.

PHONE BUZZES

Sorry, it's Zoya. I need to take this.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Hi. I saw the psych assessment. That's great!

Er, where are you?

OK. Erm, yeah, I'll be right there.

Where are you going?

Er, Zoya called. Something's come up.

But Michael's on his way. We're analysing the FDR.

I really wanted you here. To do what?

Er, to support me as I draw a line

under my 16-year marriage with the father of my children.

The heavy lifting's done, OK? It's just a technicality.

You don't need me to hold your hand.

I'm really beginning to understand how Neal feels.

Excuse me?! You don't always

prioritise the people you should.

Er...

Sorry. Er, you OK? Mm-hm.

Hey, er, first time we met was outside a loo at uni.

Yeah, I remember you were pretty drunk.

You know, I actually wasn't.

I was just, er...

I was just nervous.

You... Well, you made me

incredibly nervous. Er...

I guess I even knew back then

that I wasn't good enough for you.

I don't think that's true. Oh, no, it is, yeah.

I didn't deserve you, Maya.

Erm, I...I'll see you in there, OK?

OK.

All good?

Yeah.

Well, I mean,

my marriage is over,

and I have no idea how to start again

or how to parent two kids on my own,

or where we're going to live,

or even if I remember how to be a decent lawyer,

or what the fuck Hinge is,

but, yeah. Yeah, all good.

Listen, Maya,

I know this must feel like a nightmare.

You poured your heart and soul into this marriage,

and you've been completely blindsided.

It's normal to feel nervous about what comes next.

Are we talking about me here or you?

Zoya! Oh, my... I'm so sorry.

Vivek came to my hotel this morning.

OK? He wants me to agree to letting Indy go to Delhi.

Why would he think you'd let her go?

The report's come back in your favour.

Because he says, if I go too,

he'll set me up over there comfortably.

I could see Indy every day,

and he'll pay my debts off over here.

I turned him down, but I think I made a mistake.

Of course it wasn't a mistake.

You know I'm up to my neck financially,

OK? He's blacklisted me with every firm in the country.

I can't get another job. I'm about to be declared bankrupt.

That's why you asked my dad for so much money.

Yes. I...

If I can't afford to fight for Indy in court,

I will lose her.

OK? I can't win with this guy.

I am damned if I do, damned if I don't.

You cannot trust this man. Oh, God.

Look, leave it to me. I'll talk to Dad.

I'll figure something out. PHONE BUZZES

I'm so sorry,

I have to take this. It's Indy.

I'll call you, OK?

Michael?

Will your new solicitor be joining us?

Er, no, actually,

I thought we could try and make this as...

...straightforward as possible.

OK. Well, then, you both have before you

the terms and conditions

we've agreed on, concerning the share of marital assets,

as well as the financial plan

for the next 24 months.

Whenever... Whenever you're ready.

Er...

Erm, sorry. I'm just...

I'm feeling...

I just... I just need to get some air.

Maya? You OK? Yeah. Yeah. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't right now.

Listen to me. Listen to me. I know I can make this right

if you give me the chance.

All right? So, if there's a part of you,

no matter how small, that can forgive me for what I've done,

then let's just...

Let's just slow things down, hey?

And if you can't, then...

...just tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it.

I mean it. I've damaged this family enough, and...

...I just want what's best for you and the kids. OK?

Have you seen Dad?

Erm, he's out with a client.

Oh... Now, I, er, got you

a little something. Oh, we said no gifts.

I know. I couldn't resist!

LINDA SQUEALS

BOTH LAUGH

Well, this is tasteful. Mm-hm.

Now, listen, I need you

to not work too late tonight.

Right, go on, get yourself off.

LINDA HUMS HAPPILY

Sorry, erm, there's a couple of...

KNOCK ON DOOR

Look, I just want to say my piece,

otherwise I'll regret it.

I know things between us are complicated.

I still think you're making a mistake.

Look, you have this idea

of what your future should look like,

and anything else feels like a failure.

That's not true. I know

you think you're doing right by Neal

by going through with it but, actually,

it's the cruellest thing you could do.

Cruel? I'm trying to make things right.

You hide so much from him. You hide who you are from him.

And then something blows up and you end up

in bed with me.

What Neal and I have is real.

What about what you and I could have?

Look, there are

different types of love. Stop. Just please

stop the bullshit.

Look, just at least be honest with yourself. I am.

Then why did you end up outside my door?

The truth this time. Because...

Because I...wanted to.

Why?

Because I wanted you.

But I need Neal more.

So you're going to marry Neal...

...just so you don't lose him? That's...

That's not fair...

...on any of us.

You think you're out of time, but you're not.

DOOR CLOSES

Luke?

Oh, hey. Er... I thought everyone had left.

Yeah. It's, erm... It's been a long old day.

Sorry, mate, I...

...don't suppose you fancy getting a drink, do you?

Er, do you know what?

Tonight's a... It's a tricky one. Erm...

Yeah. No, no. No worries. It's, erm... It's all good.

Do you know what?

We could go for one. You sure?

Yeah. Yeah, a quick one. Great.

Ah, Aria!

Good. Come, sit. OK,

promise not to cry.

Why, did you cook?

My tandoori chicken is infamous,

I'll have you know. Yeah, infamous

for how ill it made us all feel.

It is rank. Four months.

I've only just recovered.

Danny loved it. Right?

And enough about me. Maya?

Mm-hm. OK.

So... Charvi, spoons.

We... found this

in the freezer.

Mum's dhal. I think it's the last one.

And we thought tonight would be a good time to have it,

seeing as it's your last night at home. Dad?

I think Aria should do the honours.

OK.

SHE CHUCKLES

Why are you hiding in here?

Same reason as you - avoiding the washing-up.

DHRUV LAUGHS

Do you mind?

Of course not.

Was it hard?

Leaving home when you did?

I knew there were

more opportunities for me here, so...

OK. All the...

...self-analysis that you all do, the,

"Am I depressed? Am I fulfilled?

"Am I happy?"

Doesn't it just make your life harder?

I'm not sure I agree it does.

Hmm. It's helped me.

I have a plan for my progression.

Oh! OK.

I've been, erm...

I've been thinking about it, and...

...I'd like to specialise in mediation.

We... We agreed litigation.

No, that's what you said.

And I said nothing.

Dad, I want to help people communicate

with the ones they love properly

so there's less pain, less... trauma.

I just don't want to see you make unnecessary mistakes.

I've killed, like, 50 of Mum's plants,

but somehow this little guy managed to survive.

I'm OK with mistakes.

Hey. Just, er... Yeah, I'll be right over.

You know, you don't strike me as the marrying type.

Stop me if I'm wrong. Erm...

No, you know, I just always found

the idea of knowing exactly where I'd be in my future

a bit terrifying.

God! I've had our life planned out as soon as I met Aria.

I knew where we'd live,

how many kids, where they'd go to school.

But she's headstrong and impulsive and unpredictable

and self-righteous and irritating.

But she's still the most electric person

I've ever been around.

Neal...

...you're... you're a good man.

I really... I really hope it works out for you.

Yeah.

Me too, mate.

Me too.

Auntie Shilpa has just dropped out

and screwed my seating plan.

She's dead to me now. Dead!

Are you all right?

I, erm...

I just needed to think, Mum.

If you want to call a halt to the wedding,

then that is what you must do. Nobody,

especially me... Mum...

...especially me, is holding a gun to your head.

Think about yourself

in five years' time. Where do you want to be?

By her side, or wondering what could have been?

Either way, remember,

the only reason to marry is for love.

You're in my seat.

I thought you weren't going to come.

Yeah, well, I'm just too intrigued not to.

What's up?

I know I showed up

at your house with sweets and we had sex.

I don't recall.

I was thinking that I owe you a proper gesture,

er, a declaration,

if you will,

one that makes my intentions towards you...

...clear. That sounds terrifying.

Will you just stop talking for a second, OK?

Just listen to me.

I'm in.

In?

Whatever this might be, whatever this might become.

I'm in.

OK.

Yeah? Yeah.

Oh!

OK!

Now, you just sit right there, OK?

Don't move. Where are you going?

No, no, no. Sh-sh-sh! Oh, you're not going to...?

Can you actually sing?

Didn't stop you, did it?

Awww!

It looks lovely. Well done, Charvi.

It's better than homework.

Oh, yeah, but you've still got to

go and do it, though.

Are you joking? No. Go on.

She's so mean. Yeah, but I'm your mum,

so you do what I say.

Right, do not smudge it. Thank you, Charvi.

No problem.

So do you want to tell me

about what happened with Michael earlier?

No.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're having doubts.

Pot, kettle.

I don't know. What if it's not done?

I know... I know we're broken right now,

and I know he'd be hard to trust. I do know that.

But maybe... Maybe it's worth it.

People get over this sort of stuff, don't they?

Infidelity.

Look at you and Neal.

I'm not being judgy. Mm...

I just don't want you to be in a situation

where you're not valued...

...or respected...

...or loved.

OK.

OK.

But tonight is not about me.

It's about you.

Mum wrote this

a couple of weeks before she died, and she asked me

to give it to you the night before the wedding.

What? I can't. Er...

Will you?

Ready?

"Dearest Aria.

"I'm so sorry I can't be with you tonight.

"If I was,

"I would tell you how much I love you

"and how happy I am for you.

"I would also remind you

"that nothing worth having comes easy.

"There'll be times when you feel like walking away.

"But those are the very moments when you must hold tight...

"..because a love like you both have

"is rare to find and worth fighting for.

"So I wish you both every happiness

"for all seven of your lifetimes together.

"I'm so proud of you, darling.

"Love, Mum."

Don't say anything. Just listen.

I know I fucked up, and I know a million women wouldn't have.

And I know I've been so lucky to have you.

So lucky.

And I promise, if you let me...

...that I won't take you for granted any more.

I've been yours since the first time you asked me.

And I'll be there tomorrow, waiting...

...and hoping that you still want me...

...and that you can forgive me.

SHRIEKING

LAUGHTER

Oh, my God! Auntie!

Sorry.

I was looking for your mum.

She couldn't sleep. She's gone out for a drive.

What do you need?

Erm, actually, I was looking for a hug.

Fine. If I must.

How did you know that Uncle Neal was, like, the one?

Well, I can't imagine my life without him in it.

Good answer.

SHE SIGHS

Maya?

I don't know what I'm doing here.

Maya... Don't talk. Just this.

I don't want you to leave.

I have to.

I have a question for you.

Will you be my date?

To what? My sister's wedding.

Are you sure you want me to meet the family so soon?

I said I'm in.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. Me too.

But that's why I think we should ease ourselves in.

Noodles and a movie, maybe.

Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

All right.

ALARM BEEPS

Oh, fuck.

Aria, it's already eight. We need to get up.

Mm.

You're getting married. She's getting married!

She's getting married!

Come on! Yeah!

KNOCK ON DOOR

DOOR OPENS

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Look at you!

One little survivor. Yeah, I'm as surprised

as you are. I was thinking we could add it to the bouquet.

Yeah.

There we go.

What am I going to do when you move out,

hm? I'm going to have no-one to boss me around any more.

I'm sure you'll cope.

I'm just so proud of you.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Mm-mm?

Don't be weird. You're being weird.

No, you're a massive weirdo.

You just made this weird. KNOCK ON DOOR

I'm going to go see if Maya needs anything. OK?

When, er, you were six years old,

you said, "I'm never going to get married."

Because, apparently, boys smelled?

Mm. Flawless logic. Still stands.

I was never very good at having

the important conversations with the three of you.

That was your mother's domain.

I know, without her, I'm...

...I'm getting it more wrong than I am right.

But I'll keep trying.

Dad, I've given this a lot of thought, and I think...

...the right thing to do is to sell

a stake of the firm to Cartwells.

Oh!

Zoya needs the money to fight for her daughter.

And I think it's for the best, that this'll give me the push

that I need to go out and build a firm of my own.

But, beti, I built this for you.

You built it for yourself first.

And we both know you're not quite done being in charge.

Maybe me leaving is long overdue,

and we can all focus on a new beginning.

Have you discussed this with Neal? Is he leaving with you?

I haven't mentioned it to him.

But I will.

And whatever he decides, I'm OK with.

But for now...

...can you please just be happy for me?

I love you.

Just give me one sec.

OK... Love you.

I left them at home. Erm, can you...?

Hi.

Is he here?

Erm...

It's Neal - he'll turn up. And, listen, if he doesn't,

then I'll come on the honeymoon with you

and we can drink Mai Tais by the pool.

Well, hello, young lady.

I'm your grandfather.

And this beautiful lady...

...is your Auntie Aria.

Very lovely to meet you.

Now I'm going to introduce you to about a thousand

uncles and aunties. Oh, and here's one!

This is Uncle Kav. This is Indy.

I love what you're wearing, Indy.

Thank you. Come on.

Hey.

I know we've got a lot to catch up on,

but right now I really want to give you

a hug. Is that weird?

No, a hug would be very much appreciated. Yeah.

OK!

The pandit wants to have a word.

Let's just put glasses across the whole thing

so that it doesn't look like we're going to run out,

because everyone wants a drink!

Hi.

Maybe we should... clear the air.

I'd like that.

You represented Michael, knowing who you were to me.

Everything I did was fair,

I promise you. But you have every right to be upset.

And for what it's worth, I am sorry.

Thank you.

And for what it's worth,

I am glad you got your daughter back.

Thank you, Maya.

I'll see you in there.

Sure.

Where's the groom?

I've tried calling him. He might be stuck in traffic.

What traffic? We're in the middle of nowhere.

Let me try again.

He'll be here. I know he will.

DRUMS PLAY

Beautiful.

Just like Deepika Padukone.

Thank you, Auntie.

Aunt? No! Mummi, please!

Oh, Mummi. Yes.

You're here.

I've got nothing else to do today, so...

Indy seems to have settled in well.

She's having the time of her life.

I wanted to say that... you don't have to worry.

I'm going to sell a stake of the firm

and get you the cash you need.

But...

...what about Aria? It was Aria's idea.

She told me about Vivek's offer.

She's leaving Kishan Law.

She'll set up on her own.

No, no, that... That is not

what I wanted, OK? I know. It is the only way.

She wants you to have what you need.

So do I.

Uncle Rhik. Hey.

Yeah, I'm really...

I'm really good, thanks. Thanks for asking. How are you?

Not one for chitchat.

Yeah, I hadn't noticed.

You know, you were a pretty shit uncle.

You were hoping I'd be some kind of, er...

...gay brown mentor for you?

Yeah, actually!

I wouldn't have been any help to you.

I didn't like the judgment...

...so I retreated,

left it all behind.

Yeah, that sounds peaceful.

It was, yeah.

But I lost a lot.

Family. Friends.

Life.

No. You stay where you are.

Just cos it's hard don't mean it's not worth doing.

Uncle Rhik, just...

...give me a second, yeah? Yeah, cool.

Surprise!

Smooth. You came. Yeah.

If Aria leaves, what about Neal?

He'll be well looked after.

Dhruv?

I'm also compromised here. I mean,

what if she finds out the truth?

Yeah, I know. She won't. You have my word.

How can you know? Harshika Auntie,

you promised me a dance. No, no, no! Come on, come on!

The mother of the groom!

CHEERING

And you're here because...?

I'm just here to offer my congratulations.

Thank you. It wasn't necessary.

My daughter is your grandchild.

Doesn't that get me an invitation?

Husbands and wives talk, you know.

And Zoya talked a lot about you.

About how you abandoned them,

how you ran off, got remarried,

despite having never gotten divorced, which

you and I both know is bigamy. So...

...I had my people do a little bit of digging,

and...

Must have thought you'd lost that...

...Arun.

What do you want?

Stop supporting Zoya, and I will make sure

that that certificate never sees the light of day.

And do, please,

pass on my congratulations to the happy couple.

SLOW MUSIC

Listen, sorry, I have to say this.

I can't let you give up on Kishan Law.

You need the money.

Look, what I need is a home for Indy and me,

and a job, security,

people I can count on.

Listen,

if you continue to represent me,

I could come in as a partner.

The firm wouldn't have to be sold, and...

...we could realise your vision,

take it to the next level.

Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum! Come! Come!

Think about it.

Thank you so much.

May I?

You look lovely.

Well, it's nice of you to notice.

I always noticed.

Hey. Come back with me tonight. Hmm?

You and the kids.

We can just go back to the way things were.

I can't.

But I thought last night meant something.

It did.

I love you.

I thought it would be enough, but...

...I just... I don't believe in us any more.

Have you been here this whole time?

I didn't want to distract you.

Bit late for that.

Can we talk?

So, erm...

...I just thought you should know that...

...I've left a letter of resignation on Dhruv's desk

and... I'm going back to London.

You don't think that if we just gave it some time...?

I think this is just easier for us.

I'm sorry. No,

don't be. Look...

I took a leap.

You know, maybe in another world, it works out with us.

But in this one...

...you just got married.

And I've just got to be happy for you.

I want you to be happy.

Mind if I steal my wife away?

Of course!
