00:00 [Music]
00:13 It's like he's forcing me to relive it every time he decides he wants more money.
00:18 Has something else happened?
00:20 It's just how I'm feeling.
00:22 It's just hard to feel safe, that's all.
00:24 We're not telling Cash. End of story.
00:26 Listen.
00:27 I've been up trying to tell him what happened to me in the first place and now there's a video of it?
00:30 It's disgusting.
00:31 I got another text from the blackmailer.
00:33 A deadline.
00:34 9am tomorrow.
00:35 We can't meet that.
00:36 We have to.
00:37 I need to talk to someone about getting a loan.
00:39 How'd your interview go?
00:41 A bit of a train wreck to be honest.
00:42 What did Kirby think?
00:43 She took off before the interview even started.
00:45 Why don't you go and talk to her about it?
00:46 I can't.
00:47 We just stopped arguing and I don't want to start that again.
00:50 Kirby again?
00:51 Yeah.
00:52 Another interview lined up.
00:53 Did you get this?
00:54 Nah mate, I told her to leave me alone till the album boost.
00:57 I'll go and talk to her.
00:58 No, no, no, no. It's cool. I can handle it, okay?
01:00 I don't want her to get fired up.
01:02 It's about time I took over this stuff anyway.
01:04 I'm sorry.
01:11 I know how badly you wanted to get answers for Felicity.
01:14 I just feel like I've let her down again.
01:16 No, you haven't.
01:17 You told her that that tip-off was a long shot.
01:20 You made sure she understood.
01:21 Well, I knew what was going through her head because it was the same thing that was going through my head.
01:25 We finally got this break in the case.
01:28 You know, we had the guy.
01:29 We had him.
01:30 Babe, you can't blame yourself for being hopeful.
01:34 Well, I let Felicity get her hopes up.
01:37 Shouldn't have done that.
01:39 She was devastated.
01:41 Do you think that there's anything that I can do to help her?
01:46 Wish there was.
01:48 So, how long does it take to approve a loan?
01:51 No, I need the money now.
01:54 Can we speed that up somehow?
01:55 Okay, I'm staying.
01:59 Bye.
02:01 Who's that?
02:02 Supplier for Salt.
02:04 Yeah? Everything okay?
02:05 Yeah.
02:06 Really?
02:07 Save your interrogations for work.
02:10 Yeah, she is not okay.
02:17 Don't do her work, son.
02:19 Okay, well, go and get ready and I'll stick around and see if she wants to talk.
02:24 Are you sure?
02:26 Yeah.
02:27 Hey.
02:33 Hello.
02:34 Come in.
02:35 Am I early?
02:37 Or is everyone else late as usual?
02:39 It's just us today.
02:42 Oh, I thought this was a band meeting.
02:45 I need to run everyone through the publicity schedule.
02:48 You wanna take a seat?
02:49 No, I'm good standing. Thanks.
02:52 Okay.
02:54 Is this gonna take long?
03:00 Because we're releasing this album in only a few weeks.
03:02 You don't need to worry about that from now on.
03:04 I'm back on board as band manager.
03:06 Alright? I will sort it out.
03:08 Since when?
03:10 Since this morning.
03:11 And no one thought to tell me that?
03:14 I'm telling you now.
03:16 Felicity?
03:23 You okay?
03:25 Cash is gone.
03:29 It's just me.
03:30 I wasn't hiding from my brother.
03:35 Alright, good.
03:36 What were you doing then?
03:38 Just paying some bills for Salt.
03:42 Mm, banking. Boring.
03:44 Yes, but necessary when one owns a business.
03:47 Yeah, that is exactly why I am in a band.
03:51 Ooh, come, come.
03:53 We can't all be rock stars.
03:56 Yeah, this is true.
03:57 And that is why you are super duper lucky.
04:00 Sit.
04:01 Because I have the exact thing to combat boring.
04:05 Oh, good.
04:08 Remy just sent me the final mix for Lyric's new single.
04:15 Wait.
04:16 Ouch.
04:19 I'm sorry.
04:20 I'm beyond proud of you. You know that.
04:24 I do, but it's nice to hear you say it out loud sometimes.
04:28 I am so proud of you.
04:31 You're about to release your first album.
04:33 It's incredible.
04:34 I know. It's amazing.
04:36 The best part is we did it all on our own.
04:38 We sure did.
04:39 Yeah, I mean it would have been easy to ask Remy's parents.
04:41 They have heaps of money.
04:43 But we did it on our own.
04:47 We don't have to pay anyone anything.
04:51 So, what would you say to some dinner and a few drinks with your bestie?
05:00 I'm sorry, I can't.
05:02 Okay, well I can just hang out here with you then.
05:04 No, no, no, no, no.
05:06 I have so much work to do. I just want to get it done.
05:09 Are you sure you're okay?
05:11 Yes. Yeah, I'm fine.
05:13 Okay.
05:15 Did Cash go to work?
05:17 Yeah. Why?
05:18 No reason. Just curious.
05:20 If you change your mind and want to join me, I'll be at Salt.
05:27 Okay.
05:28 Okay?
05:29 Bye.
05:31 [Door opens]
05:33 Wow, you have already lined up all of these interviews?
05:41 Yep. I've kind of been doing your job for you.
05:43 Podcasts, headshots, timeline for social media content.
05:48 You have put a lot of thought into this.
05:50 Well, I thought we needed to generate some buzz before the album is released.
05:54 By the time it's out there, everyone is already going to know about it.
05:58 So I noticed that Theo has a lot of the publicity focused on him.
06:03 Yeah. Well, he is the lead singer.
06:05 True, but it's kind of been Remy who's been the driving force behind the album.
06:09 Mm-hmm. And he has zero interest in doing publicity.
06:13 Well, I'm going to have a talk to him about that and I'll get him to lift his game.
06:16 Great.
06:17 And Eden.
06:18 Eden is Eden.
06:19 Right. And what about yourself? I don't see much here for you either.
06:24 Yeah, well I've been a little bit busy putting all of this together.
06:27 Okay.
06:28 Yeah.
06:29 I just think the publicity should be spread out more evenly.
06:33 Mm-hmm. Okay, but Theo still needs to be front and centre like he is on stage.
06:38 Is that the only reason you're so focused on Theo?
06:42 Yes.
06:43 It's not because he's your ex or anything like that?
06:47 You think that I'm making Theo do publicity as punishment?
06:52 It could be one explanation.
06:56 Wow, that is offensive. I am just trying to do what's right by the band.
07:00 And as our manager, you should be thanking me for that.
07:03 Kirby, I...
07:06 How was everything?
07:12 Oh, delicious as always.
07:14 Cool, mate. Shall we tell Irene?
07:15 Right after you tell her you'd like to move back to your own house.
07:19 I know, I know. I can't keep putting her off.
07:23 John, I hope you've left room for tonight's dinner.
07:26 I'm making your favourite, roast pork.
07:28 Oh, I love that.
07:30 Yeah, I know.
07:31 Ah, but don't go any trouble, Irene. I wouldn't want it to become a burden.
07:36 Don't be silly. It's a flippin' oven. It does the work.
07:39 You set it, you forget it.
07:41 In that case, I will look forward to it greatly.
07:44 Right.
07:45 Miss Love, are you okay to close up the coffee cart this afternoon?
07:49 Yes, of course, Irene. Not a problem. Thank you.
07:51 You want to help me with that, John?
07:53 Since when do you need my help, Irene?
07:57 Since now.
07:58 I can send those to a file studio now, if you like.
08:03 Yeah. Yeah, sure. Thanks.
08:05 Hey.
08:08 Hey.
08:09 What are you doing here?
08:10 Do I need a reason to visit my brother?
08:12 Well, no, but you weren't particularly keen to talk to me back at the house.
08:16 Sorry. Yeah, no, you were right. I was stressed and I took it out on you. Not cool.
08:22 It's okay.
08:23 I need your help.
08:25 This is about the investigation.
08:26 No, no, no, no. I know you're doing everything you can there.
08:30 Then...
08:33 I need money.
08:35 What?
08:37 I don't get it. How much money?
08:39 Ten thousand dollars.
08:41 [Music]
08:44 I must be losing my touch. I was sure you were dragging me out here to give me a lecture.
08:53 Well, I can if you want me to, John.
08:54 Not necessary.
08:55 Okay, I'm just a bit worried about you.
08:57 Needn't be. I'm okay.
08:59 All right. Well, you just seem really happy about going back to your old house and living your old life.
09:04 I am. I just wish it didn't have to come at the expense of Irene's happiness. She's been so good to me.
09:10 I know she has.
09:12 Maybe I could soften the blow a bit.
09:16 What do you mean, soften the blow?
09:17 I could tell her that I'm urgently needed back at my post.
09:20 What post?
09:21 Head of Neighborhood Watch.
09:24 I think the neighborhood's doing just fine without you, John.
09:26 I could really dial up the annoying until she's sick to death of looking at me and then begs me to leave.
09:30 Yes, you probably could do that. But if I've learnt anything since the dating fiasco, it's Irene really prefers it if you're honest and direct with her.
09:39 Yeah, can't argue with that.
09:41 Are you going to talk to her?
09:43 Yeah, but there's no harm in having one last dinner together, miss.
09:48 I'll tell her in the morning.
09:50 Well...
09:53 You in some kind of trouble, Flip?
09:59 No. I'm not.
10:01 Okay. Why? What's the money for?
10:03 It's for Lyric. For the album launch. I'm hosting it.
10:07 Van wants to spend $10,000 on a party.
10:09 No. An album launch.
10:11 What's the difference?
10:12 A launch is much bigger than a normal gig. It's about drawing the right people in. Must be impressive.
10:17 It would want to be for $10,000, Flick.
10:19 This could make or break Lyric. And may I also point out that it'd make Eden really, really happy?
10:24 Well, there's another thing that I don't get.
10:26 What?
10:27 When I offered Eden the money to record, she shut me straight down.
10:31 This is different.
10:33 How is this different?
10:34 Now the album's done, they need to get out there and promote it, right?
10:38 Plus, she knows it'd be a big deal for Soul. This'll help me, too.
10:42 I'm gonna have to think about it, Flick.
10:46 What's there to think about?
10:48 It's a lot of money.
10:50 Oh. Alright. Well, just don't take too long.
10:53 [Music]
11:05 The rest of the band are glad to have me back.
11:07 Oh, of course they are. They need you.
11:09 Well, Kirby doesn't think so.
11:11 So explain to me exactly what you said to them.
11:14 Okay. I questioned why all her plans for the publicity were so focused on Theo, and she didn't thank me for it.
11:20 And you can't see why that would upset her?
11:23 Theo isn't comfortable doing interviews on his own, you know.
11:26 She knows that, and I didn't say anything that wasn't true.
11:28 Like, she's booked him solid.
11:30 Sure, but maybe you're not the right person to bring it up.
11:34 You're kind of Theo's family.
11:36 Right. Which makes it tricky.
11:39 You know, a big part of my job's managing the personalities in the band.
11:42 It's not the bit that I like.
11:44 Okay, but you've got to see it from her point of view as well.
11:47 What should I do?
11:49 Well, I'd say stay out of it, but it's a little late for that.
11:52 I know with Andrew gone, you just want to jump back into the band stuff.
11:56 But you can't just go charging at it like a bull at a gate.
11:59 You think I'll hold back a bit?
12:01 Just tread carefully.
12:03 You know, Kirby's not just a member of a band.
12:05 She's a young woman who's had her heart broken.
12:09 So you already knew that Justin was coming back as band manager?
12:13 Yep. Remy told me. It is perfect timing.
12:16 Is it?
12:17 Well, yeah. I mean, with the album about to launch, I could really use the help.
12:21 Even though you have been doing a stellar job with the publicity stuff.
12:25 Yeah, well, Justin doesn't think so.
12:27 He did not say that.
12:28 Not exactly, but he does think that I'm focusing too much on Theo.
12:34 Great, you think so too.
12:35 I mean, it's kind of true.
12:36 Not another word.
12:39 Thank you.
12:41 Well, now the pressure is off.
12:43 You can just take a breath, focus on the music.
12:48 Have you heard the single?
12:50 Yeah, it is incredible.
12:52 I mean, I just I cannot wait for the album to launch.
12:55 Yeah, well, that's up to Justin now.
12:57 Yeah.
13:01 Let me guess. Let me guess. Your boyfriend.
13:04 Ease it out, please.
13:07 Would I be the worst friend in the world if I bailed on our drinks?
13:10 Please go be in love.
13:13 OK, thank you.
13:19 I love you. I love you.
13:20 I'm going to go and get it.
13:31 Yeah.
13:40 This is a nice thing to come home to.
13:42 Hi.
13:45 What's wrong?
13:48 I thought that you and I agreed that we were going to stop keeping secrets from each other.
13:51 We did. Yeah.
13:52 Well, then I don't understand.
13:54 Well, that makes two of us.
13:56 And why didn't you tell me that the band needs money for now?
13:58 Launch. Well, you could have just come straight to me.
14:00 I've offered to help you with this kind of stuff.
14:02 I know. And instead I have to go and find out from.
14:04 Wait, we just back up a second.
14:06 We don't need money for the launch.
14:08 OK, well, then why is this a good idea?
14:11 It has nothing to do with it. We're not even having it.
14:13 It's solved.
14:14 Really?
14:16 Yeah.
14:18 Oh.
14:36 What if we're going to transfer the money?
14:41 Yeah.
14:42 What? Why not?
14:45 Honestly, you lied to me about what you need it for.
14:48 So I can eat him.
14:49 I know it's not for the band launch.
14:55 OK.
14:57 Yeah, you're right.
14:59 It's not. All right.
15:00 So do you want to tell me what it's for then?
15:02 And try telling the truth this time, please.
15:09 It's no secret that I've been struggling since the assault.
15:14 And because of that, I've been a bit reckless with my money.
15:19 A lot.
15:21 Reckless, actually.
15:24 I've dug myself into a hole that I need to get out of.
15:31 OK, why wouldn't you just tell me that, Flea?
15:36 I'm not proud of it. And I don't want to tell Tommy.
15:43 All right.
15:45 All right, as in you'll lend me the money?
15:47 Flea, if you need help, of course I'll lend you the money. OK?
15:54 Yes, OK.
15:55 Thank you.
15:56 It's all right. It's all right.
16:00 I'll transfer it to you now.
16:07 OK.
16:18 Hey, love. Busy morning?
16:19 Oh, just the usual, darling.
16:21 I'll make my way back to the diner.
16:23 OK, go for it.
16:24 Later.
16:26 Good luck.
16:28 Good morning. The usual, darling?
16:31 No, thank you, Irene. I'm not here for the coffee.
16:33 I think it's time I moved back to my place.
16:38 I'm sorry. I meant to ease into that a little bit.
16:41 Yeah, love, I get it. You need your own space. It's fine.
16:46 But I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me during my recovery.
16:50 Your friendship means the world to me.
16:53 Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
16:55 Are you sure?
16:56 Boss is here.
16:57 You're not that miserable.
17:01 I'm oddly pleased to hear that.
17:03 And I will have that coffee.
17:05 So hold your head up high.
17:11 Please tell me you just got a text from Justin summoning you to a band meeting?
17:17 Nope.
17:19 Great. Another one-on-one then.
17:21 Well, I can come with you. Make it two versus one.
17:24 No, it's all good. I can handle Justin by myself.
17:27 Bye.
17:28 Hello and farewell.
17:29 Ah, okay.
17:31 Hey, how did things go with Felicity?
17:34 Not great. Pretty sure she discovered one lie with another.
17:38 Really?
17:39 Mm.
17:41 So she says she's been overspending and that she's too embarrassed to tell Tarnet.
17:44 I mean, that might be true.
17:46 No, no, I know my sister.
17:47 Okay, so you still have no idea why she needed the money?
17:51 No.
17:53 I really hope she's okay.
17:55 Yeah.
18:07 Latte, right?
18:09 Why do you feel the need to keep singling me out?
18:12 I don't.
18:13 Well, it really feels like you do, Justin.
18:16 Okay, I didn't like the way things ended between us yesterday and I thought we could clear the air.
18:20 Well, do you have any idea how much work I've done for Lyric?
18:24 Yes, and I fully appreciate that.
18:27 But as manager--
18:29 As manager, you work for the band.
18:31 My band, that I was a part of long before you arrived.
18:34 Yeah, I know.
18:35 Yeah, so you have no right to question my motives, Justin.
18:38 Okay, what about Theo? Does he have a right?
18:40 Excuse me?
18:41 You're hassling him, Kirby.
18:43 Okay? He feels like he can't say no to you.
18:46 He said that?
18:47 Yeah.
18:49 Okay, well, my priority is the band.
18:52 And if Theo doesn't like that, tough.
19:11 I tried to tread carefully and she came at me guns blazing.
19:15 What was I supposed to do?
19:17 I honestly don't know.
19:19 Well, you set yourself up to be the bad guy when you offered to talk to Kirby.
19:23 Oh, all this personal stuff, I don't like it, I don't want to do it.
19:26 From now on, I'm just going to stick to my own lane, focus on the album launch.
19:29 I think that's a good idea.
19:31 It's not going to be easy, now that she won't talk to me.
19:33 Well, it's nothing a little tact and understanding can't fix.
19:36 I think we both agree that's not my wheelhouse.
19:39 It's okay, just focus on the launch.
19:42 Leave Kirby to me.
19:44 Just before you go.
19:49 Hey.
19:50 Hey.
19:51 Can I come in?
19:52 Let me guess.
19:55 Justin sent you?
19:56 No, I offered.
19:58 I figured he'd done enough damage.
20:00 Blueberry muffins.
20:02 Thank you.
20:03 Come on in.
20:04 Thanks.
20:06 Now, I know that Justin handled things really, really badly.
20:12 But maybe there's some truth in what he said.
20:16 Just hear me out, please.
20:19 Okay.
20:22 You would agree since the breakup with Theo, you've really thrown yourself into the band, right?
20:27 Well, I guess, but we are just about to launch our album, so.
20:30 Oh, it's okay.
20:31 It's classic breakup behavior.
20:33 Fill your hours with one thing so you don't have to think about the other.
20:36 We have all done it.
20:38 It's just that with you, it's tricky because the band and Theo are one and the same.
20:43 Yeah.
20:45 I mean, maybe those lines are a bit blurred, but I can fix that.
20:48 I can make that clear.
20:50 Kirby, I appreciate how hard you work.
20:53 And I know how important the band is to you.
20:56 Yes, it is.
20:58 But there's got to be more in life, right?
21:01 It can't be all about the band or a guy.
21:04 So right now, from what I can see, that's all it is about.
21:09 It is a brand new day and I am feeling great.
21:17 So you sorted things out with Kirby then?
21:19 I swear, if you've made things any worse.
21:21 Let her talk to Kirby.
21:23 She knows how to handle a delicate situation.
21:25 Kirby, stop. Can you please just rethink this?
21:28 Yes, I already have.
21:29 I can't work at the diner anymore.
21:32 What did you say to her?
21:33 I was trying to help Theo wait.
21:35 You and I are strictly professional from now on.
21:38 I'm no longer interested in having any sort of relationship with you outside of Lyric.
