==Plot==
Part One:
It's the day of Faith's special trip, but Faith is too frail to make it to the seaside so Faith's family and friends have decided to bring the seaside to her by transforming the yard of Wishing Well Cottage into a colourful seaside fairground, complete with sand and deckchairs as well as traditional fairground games such as a coconut shy and a hook-a-duck stand. Faith is touched and struggles to hold back the tears. After witnessing Vinny interacting with Isaac, Zak comments to Liv that Vinny is a natural with children and tells her they'd make great parents one day. When Tracy arrives at the "seaside" with Frankie, Nate apologises for kicking off yesterday, whilst Tracy admits she should've been honest with him. Faith and her friends and family are having great fun at the seaside. Bernice pulls Chas aside to inform her Rodney has phoned and there could be a delay with the surprise. Marlon reveals to Rhona that April has a massive crush on Arthur. Faith sits in a deckchair watching everyone enjoying themselves. Moira joins her and asks if she's enjoying herself. Faith is. She states this is bliss but struggles to hold back her tears. Rhona clues Laurel in on April's crush on Arthur. As Faith talks to Sarah, Kyle, and Isaac, Isaac asks his grandmother what it's like to die. Faith explains she thinks it's like going to sleep. Shortly afterward, Eric brings Faith a plate of cockles, whelks and winkles to eat. Faith comments if this is the last meal she ever eats, she'll be a happy woman. Moira overhears it and worries Faith is planning on ending her life soon.
Part Two:
Faith is enjoying herself at the "seaside" by flirting with Eric and Bear. Arthur asks Laurel not to let on to April that he knows she has a crush on him. Rodney arrives at Wishing Well Cottage in an ice-cream van. Faith is delighted when Diane pops up at the van's serving window. Liv summons Vinny to a quiet corner away from the party and tells her husband she wants children in the future. They agree to practice with a dog first and explains Paddy has found one for them. As Beyond the Sea by Frank Sinatra plays over the speakers, Chas recalls that as a boy, Cain danced with Faith to the song during a holiday to Butlin's and Faith didn't stop banging on about it for weeks afterward. Cain can't remember. Diane fills Faith in on life in Portugal. Rodney approaches the pair and offers Faith a dance but Faith doesn't feel up to it so suggests he dance with Diane instead. Tracy informs Nate that she's heading home tomorrow but suggest they get some dates in the diary for Nate to see Frankie. She even invites Naomi along too although Nate informs her Naomi finished with him yesterday. After pressure from Moira and Chas, Cain asks Faith to dance to Beyond the Sea. A frail Faith is more than happy to accept Cain's offer and is delighted when Cain says he remembers dancing to the song at Butlin's. As the pair sway to the music, Faith tells her son she loves him so much. Cain goes to reply with a deceleration of his own when suddenly the music stops and the moment is gone. Cain walks away. Later, Faith sits with Zak away from the party. In a quiet moment of reflection, she tells him nothing can top today as it was perfect. Unaware Moira is listening in, Faith comments if she were to die tomorrow, she'd die happy as she's finally at peace.
