Are you sure she actually wants to end it?
Seemed pretty certain.
Rachel dumped me because she thinks I'm in love with someone else.
Who?
I think you know who.
Is she right?
I think so.
So what now?
I want to do things properly. I'm taking her on a date later.
Why? What are you going to do on a date? Get to know each other?
-Thanks for that. - Sorry but...
I don't understand what you're so wound up about. This is what you've always wanted.
I know.
I'm just not feeling it.
- Not feeling what? - The kiss!
I don't know, it just wasn't...
It wasn't as I expected it to be.
I've built Eva up to be this...
perfect goddess over the years and now that we're actually together,
there's no magic, no fireworks.
Has it occurred to you that you're not letting yourself feel it?
That you're holding back?
She's not just some girl, she's your best friend!
I think you're scared of screwing that up.
Eva's been the most important thing in your life for years.
You don’t want to lose what you've already got.
You and Eva not working out...
Must be like some scientist finding out his life's work has no meaning.
Ironic!
Thank you for your infinite Scottish wisdom.
Hey! How are you getting on?
Fine thanks.
What do you want?
Oh, that's lovely. I'm here to see you.
- What are you doing? - Getting ready to go out.
Have you got a date?
Hardly likely.
That's no excuse to not make any effort.
What are you wearing?
These trousers and this.
And the award for best impersonation of Frank Gallagher goes to...
Let's get to work.
So where are you going then?
I've got a meeting with a social worker. She wants me to get carers in.
- Cool, so you're gonna? - Not a chance.
I'm a private man.
I don't want strangers poking round my house.
They won’t be strangers for long.
What exactly are you worried they're going to find?
Have you got WMDs in here?
I want to keep my independence.
No offence Geoff - this is the one -
but Doyle has been doing pretty much everything round here.
Getting someone in won't make you less independent, but it will help him.
We manage.
He got kicked out of college last week.
He never said a word.
Doyle has got used to dealing with things on his own.
They let him back in once they heard about you.
That'll be him now.
You look good.
For an old guy.
Dad, what are you doing? We need to get going.
Apparently it's important to make an effort for social workers.
We're late and I need to meet Marvin after I drop you off.
If you want, I'll go with Geoff.
What?
You can spend time with Marvin and I'll go to the social worker.
Go on lad, take the afternoon off.
- Serious? - Go on, before I change my mind.
Okay. If you're sure Les?
See you later.
Why did you do that?
He needs a break and I don't actually mind spending time with you.
Why?
You're rude and kind of grumpy,
But you're the first person, that since I swallowed a fistful of pills,
doesn't act like one word or one angry silence is going to send me over the edge.
You're over the worst of it.
I can tell.
Maybe, but FYI, the only reason I made it this far was because I started to accept help.
Okay! I'll listen to what this do-gooder has to preach.
She can't be any more bossy than you.
So you were a Gaydar addict then?
Big time.
That was before I met you.
It's never been my thing.
- You haven't used it since we...? - No.
But when we had that fight last week,
I thought you were going to end it so I messaged this bloke.
- You better be joking. - Nothing happened!
Two minutes later I wrote back and explained that I had a partner and cancelled, but I just...
I wanted you to know everything.
Nothing happened?
I swear. I'm done with it all, I'm over it.
Was that why you were holding off on us going official?
Not just that.
You know I'm still on PEP.
So?
Don’t be an idiot!
It's a big deal!
I don't get my test results for another couple of months.
- Are you trying to scare me off? - No, but...
This time next year, I could be really ill.
I want to be with you Doyle.
Great, but I need you to get that I'm a risk.
You have to realise that if we're going to get more involved.
I can handle it.
Can you?
Yes.
You look lovely.
Thanks.
There's something I need to talk to you about.
Me too.
Me first.
Eva...
I've loved you my entire life.
I value your friendship above anything else and I think lately I've been confused about that.
We're fine as we are.
We're brilliant.
I don't think we should force it to be something it is not.
Are you breaking up with me?
I'm sorry.
I don't think it's going to work out.
You seemed so keen. I thought this was what you wanted.
I thought so too.
I've been trying...
When we're together like that, there's no...
Spark.
Yeah.
Yeah, for me either.
I can't believe it, but there's just not.
So, we're cool?
Of course.
I feel terrible though.
I feel like I was the reason you and Rachel broke up.
It's all been for nothing.
At least now I know.
I've pined after you for so long, it's good to have a bit of closure.
Happy to help.
It might not be too late to get Rachel back.
Do you think?
It's not like there are any missing sparks between you two, right?
I guess so.
I've been such an idiot!
I need to speak to her.
Do you think she would take me back?
