Rebecca!
Jemma darling, how's my beautiful daughter today?
Save it mom, I still think this is a terrible idea.
Hey, listen, this week is gonna be okay, I swear.
I know it's gonna be a little strange, but-
It's not strange, mom.
It's just they were Rebecca's friends, not mine.
Look, they've been coming to stay
with us every summer for years.
Having them now is the right thing to do.
It's been a year, sweetheart,
and they've been hurting just like us.
I know it's hard for you to see them
without thinking of her, but I promise,
after this week, you never have to see them again
if you don't want to. - Promise?
Please, it's what your sister would've wanted.
- Fine. - Thank you.
Maybe it'll give us all some closure.
God knows we could use some.
When do they arrive?
Late tomorrow, I've heard back
from all of them except Natasha.
Mia's trying to find her.
Are you lost love?
Yeah, I'm looking for my friend, Natasha.
I was told she works here.
You're just in time.
She's on in a few minutes.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time.
You shouldn't have come.
You should have answered our calls.
I know why you're here and you can forget it.
Come on, Natasha, it's one week, please.
I mean, think what it will mean to her mom, to her sister.
You were Rebecca's best friend, not me.
I'm not going.
Now I have to get back on.
What aren't you telling me?
I'm not going back there.
There's nothing about last summer I wanna revisit.
Mia.
- Oh, Will, I- - You okay?
Yeah, sorry, hey.
Mmm, this week was never gonna be easy, huh?
- You okay? - It's been a tough year.
You know, I almost didn't come.
I can't grieve forever.
And who knows?
Maybe this last week will help us say goodbye.
So what's new with you?
I hate that we haven't spoken.
Have you managed to maybe date anyone?
- God, no, no one since... - Rebecca.
So I hear James is coming.
Is that gonna be weird?
Probably, but this week isn't about me.
You guys still talk?
No, I'll always be fond of him,
but James can be...
Intense, possessive, psycho?
Jesus, I'm not that bad, am I?
- Hey. - Hi.
Shall we?
I've booked a car. - Sure.
Leaving without me?
I would never.
I thought you weren't coming.
I realized I'd never forgive myself
if I let you guys down.
Thank you. - I'm glad you came.
Okay, should we go? - Yes.
Hi.
Really kind of you and your mom to have us, Jem.
Oh, it's been too long.
It's actually the first time
we've all been together since.
Graduating coincided with all things Rebecca,
so we've drifted a bit more than planned.
Well, that's what this week is about,
to reconnect and remember.
It's strange being here without her.
I try not to think about Rebecca.
It sounds harsh I know,
but it's the way I get through the day.
It was in her things.
I thought you'd like it.
I love it, thank you.
You still wear it?
Every day.
I'll leave you to get ready.
Dinner's at eight.
It's good to see you.
I love you, Mia.
Whoa, hi, you're in my room.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. - Stay.
I'm glad you're here.
You didn't answer my texts. - Don't.
Why not?
Rebecca.
Things have changed.
And that didn't stop us before.
I hate myself for what we did,
what we were doing, when she-
We can't change the past, Jem.
But I can change the future, I'm sorry.
And this of course is the sexiest room in the house.
Welcome to my humble abode.
It's great to have you all here, kids.
This house has felt pretty lonely this last year,
but I couldn't bear to break the tradition
and not have you spend your vacation here,
even without my Rebecca.
She loved you all so much.
I know it can't be easy being here without her.
And I want you to know how much I appreciate it.
This looks delicious.
Don't look at me.
Mum's been slaving in the kitchen all afternoon.
I thought you couldn't cook.
Well, I couldn't.
My husband was always the chef.
But after he died, Rebecca and I taught ourselves to cook.
And then when we lost Rebecca,
cooking became my therapy.
It was a way to... feel close to them both again.
So, to Thomas and Rebecca.
- Can I join you? - Sure.
How are you really?
I keep having dreams that I was there when Rebecca,
that I could have helped, could have stopped it.
There's something we don't know,
I'm sure of it.
Don't you think there's any chance that I might be right,
that something was off?
Mia, this has to stop.
Rebecca would want you to have a life.
I know. You're right.
I owe you an apology
for ending things the way that I did, I'm sorry.
- I wanna get back together. - James, I-
Look, I know that you needed time alone
after Rebecca died, and I respected that.
I did, but it's been a year.
I want to be here for you.
I can help you.
I love you.
James, I um, I'll always have really fond memories
of our time together,
but I don't want to be with you again,
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I understand.
Goodnight, Mia.
Hey.
Natasha, thank you for coming.
I know it wasn't easy.
I'm sorry for vanishing.
It's just after everything,
your husband and Becca,
I was totally out of my depth.
I never meant to hurt anyone.
It wasn't your fault, I was to blame.
No one's to blame.
We did a bad thing,
but no one could have predicted what came next,
that your life would be smashed up,
that you'd lose everything.
But you haven't lost me.
I'm still here.
Hello, who's there?
Hello, is someone there?
Hi. - You're okay?
Yeah, just a little on edge.
Freaked myself out in the dark.
Mia.
Sebastian.
Bit late for a swim, Sebastian.
This is the one time I can guarantee being alone.
No noise, no tourists, well, usually.
I better get home.
Do you wanna walk together?
Actually, I am home.
I live just down the beach.
Oh, amazing, we're basically neighbors.
I'm in the house on the hill.
- The Lowell house? - Yeah.
- Did you know her? - She was my best friend.
Did you?
Only in passing.
It's tragic what happened.
Well, it was nice to meet you, goodnight Sebastian.
Do you wanna get a drink sometime?
I'd like that.
