Main Show

"She's not yours!" Amy screams at Ste during a flashback.

"I lost the baby!" Rae looked into Ste's eyes as Brendan looked on at the two.

"No! Mum! NO!" Ste shouts as he cradles his dead mum.

"Your still the same junkie you were when I was with you!" Amy took Lucas and Leah's hands, leading them out of the house.

"I've got HIV..." Ste slumps on the doors, breaking down into tears before John-Paul.

"I'm pregnant. And your the father." Sinead tells Ste in a jealous tone during his wedding to John-Paul.

"Push, Sinead!" Ste tells Sinead as baby Hannah is being born.

"I am afraid John-Paul is dead." A police officer tells Ste in front of all of the McQueens.

Ste saw all of his life flash before his eyes. It scared him, but made him feel safe at the same time. He had angered so...so many people. Brendan, Rae, Amy, John-Paul, Myra, Charlie, Sinead, Silas, Simone and even his own mum, Pauline. He knew, right about now, his time was calling. He was glad Amy transitioned from teacher to nurse, otherwise Lucas and Leah would never have been able to look after him. He picked up his phone, barely able to move because he was so tired. This was something he needed to do though...

To: Myra, Lucas, Leah, Amy, Matthew and Brendan

I need to talk to you x

Tears rolled down his cheek, and even more memories flooded back.

"Oh, now your making bands up!" Ste said to John-Paul in their alphabet band game, waiting for the HIV test.

"Ste, I love you..." Ste felt Doug pass away in his arms and he screamed into the air for the loss of his loved one.

"Sorry, Ste. But this is something I have to do. For Cheryl. For Declan...for you." Brendan was rolled from his hospital bed into the police van.

"Here," Ste hands Lockie cocaine mixed in with Bleach.

Ste snapped back to reality once again, as he saw Rae, Doug, John-Paul and Pauline all looking over him, smiling.


Celine types on her laptop. The doctor's laptop she conveniently 'borrowed' to look for Luca and Mimi's biological parents. As she typed in their names, she dropped her coffee mug.

"Oh my god..."


Mercedes took a few steps out of the plane. Following her, were Jacqui who wanted to see her nephew, and Porsche, who had a good bond with both Jacqui and Mercedes. They had arrived in LA after taking off from Alicante. As all three got inside, Porsche removed her sun glasses.

"Tell you what, after a few days in Alicante, I am glad to be out of the sun!"

"Porsche, you do realize we are in Nevada? Home of the death valley?" Jacqui hit home with that one.

"What's that?"

"Gimme a break.."

And then...

"Jacqui! Mercedes!" She was dressed in a white fur coat, with black shades over her hair and a desperate smile, with crystal blue eyes and high heels.

"Mitzee!" Mercedes hugged her long lost friend "I could do with one of your makeovers whilst I am here!"

"Sorry, Carl is on a business meeting and I am stuck with Pheonix and Bobby!"

Mercedes smiled and got her luggage. "How is my son?"

"Bonding well with his brother." She said. "They both miss Riley."

"Who doesn't..." Mercedes thought about Riley, she really loved him and regretted sleeping with Carl. "I am surprised Carl is even letting me see Bobby."

"Oh..." Mitzee turned her smile downwards. "He did not."

"Wait, so we are breaking the law?" Jacqui and Porsche said in unison, and Mitzee bit her lip.


Myra, Lucas, Leah, Hannah, Matthew, Amy and Brendan all surrounded Ste. Already there were Tony, Sinead and Darren. Ste smiled as the room fell into a dark mood. Silence filled the air as Ste broke it.

"I love you all. You have all been there for me when I needed it the most. Myra, you are the best mother-in-law I could have asked for, you make the best shepherds pie, and you helped me when John-Paul died."

Myra wiped tears from her eyes.

"Brendan, my first true love turned best friend. You were a good father to Declan and Padraig, and you helped me out one too many times. Especially with Walker. I am sorry about Cheryl being on the run for killing your dad, but you are one in a million."

Brendan looked down on the floor, clenching his fist.

"Tony, the only real father I had. I grew up without Danny, and only had an abusive step-dad and a mum who tried to take her life. You helped me way to many times. When I next meet you, I owe you a pint!"

"Carlsberg. Extra froffy!" Tony joked about.

"Sinead, Hannah. Without you two, where would I be? I love you both so, so much."

At this point everybody was crying. There was only a few more goodbyes left.

"Matthew, my beautiful step-son. I know it has been hard without your dad around. And when I die, I am sure your going to be the man of the house alongside Lucas! Your strong, you have that McQueen charm to you, and I know your only 7, but I hope you find that one girl who makes you proud!"

He looked directly at Lucas, Leah and Amy.

"And now you three. My pride and joy, Lucas and Leah. And the one thing I regret in life, Amy. I am so sorry for being a bad dad recently. And it will be hard to grow up without me. Lucas, be nice to your sister and her boyfriend! You need to keep that anger down, look at that black eye! Leah, promise me if your going to have sex with Charlie, use protection! I am going to let what Charlie tried to do slide."

He made Leah blush, and she looked down.

"And Amy, keep good care of the kids. I know you will do what is right."

Ste looked into the sky. "I...I don't want to die." Sinead lifted a lock of his hair above his head. Brendan was a little teary eyed. Everybody else had tissues in hand.

He briefly saw all his dead friends again, before his arms went limp. His heart rate monitor started to flatline as his eyes closed.
