2point4 Children Season 5 Episode 6

Tony has moved in with Rona and informed the council that her mother Ena – who died 11 years earlier – is dead. Rona had been keeping that secret from them in order to continue living in her council house. Rona tries to find her birth certificate, because the council will likely allow her to continue living there if she can prove that she is Ena daughter. The Porters gather at Rona’s to test out a ghost-tracking device, to see if the spirit of Rona’s mother has risen from the grave; the device does not work. Pearl gives Rona her birth certificate, telling her that she hid it because it proves that she is actually her mother, explaining that in 1957 she was single and pregnant, so she gave Rona to her sister and sister’s husband, who were unable to produce children. Not being the previous tenant’s daughter means that Rona and Tony have to move out.
