00:00You've given any thought to where you might be living once the baby arrives?
00:11Do you know what you're having?
00:13Not yet.
00:14No.
00:15What about Tane?
00:16What does he want?
00:17Boy or a girl?
00:18Are you going to do the birthing classes?
00:19Yeah.
00:20Maybe.
00:21They care about you and they care about the baby.
00:24But they're assuming I've had a million conversations with Tane that I haven't had.
00:28Well, do you want to sit down and have a chat?
00:30Well, I would if he hadn't taken off on a camping trip.
00:33I didn't know you needed your car for work.
00:35And my work is really important to me.
00:37I've already missed two days now.
00:39Claudia?
00:40Uh, I am Theo from the garage.
00:44You're the mechanic who fixed my car.
00:46Are you even qualified?
00:47Oh, yeah.
00:48Of course he is.
00:49How long have you had this job?
00:50A couple months.
00:51A couple of months?
00:52Wow.
00:53The circus just keeps getting better and better.
00:55Okay, I don't think you can speak to him like that.
00:57He did say that he was sorry.
00:58None of this would have happened if I hadn't gone to your stupid garage.
01:01Okay, okay.
01:02I understand that.
01:03I just don't know what I'm going to do in the meantime until I work out who's going
01:06to drive me around.
01:08I'll do it.
01:09What?
01:10I'll be your driver.
01:11Who's that?
01:12Just a delivery.
01:13Never a dull moment.
01:27Blubber?
01:28Sorry, sorry.
01:34How'd the lesson go?
01:35Well, it went.
01:37So, any news?
01:38About?
01:39The art con?
01:40You've got to stop asking me about that every time you see me.
01:42Oh, come on.
01:43Are we celebrating that?
01:44I have no clue.
01:46He's lying.
01:48He's been glued to his phone all day.
01:51Well, are the results in or what?
01:53I don't think so.
01:55Check your emails.
01:56I just did.
01:57Well, check them again.
02:02Still nothing.
02:04You know what they say about a watched pot.
02:06Just ignore him and he will frustrate you.
02:08Later, okay?
02:09Let's get these boards away.
02:10Marley.
02:11Yes, Marley.
02:12Right away, Marley.
02:24It was a snake.
02:25A lizard?
02:26Snake?
02:27Listen.
02:28I saw it come out of the firewood.
02:29It ran over my foot.
02:30It was a blue-tongued lizard.
02:31You're dreaming, mate.
02:34It's good to see you smiling again.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Trip was fun.
02:38Yeah, any time.
02:39You're family.
02:41It's kind of weird being back.
02:43I wonder if our housemates even missed us at all.
02:47You know, I've been thinking.
02:49How would you feel if we started looking for our own place to live?
02:52We're going to need more room anyway with the baby.
02:55Sure.
02:56Sweet.
02:57Let's start looking.
02:58Cool.
03:01Alright, I'm starving.
03:03How about a feed at Salt?
03:04My shelf.
03:05Cool.
03:06Although, I'm in desperate need of a shower first.
03:08Yeah, you are.
03:10I'll message Harper.
03:11See if she's keen to meet up.
03:14So Cash still isn't answering the door?
03:16No.
03:17No.
03:18But the meals are disappearing.
03:19Which means he's eating them.
03:20I hope.
03:21Well, it's a nice thing Marilyn's doing for him.
03:23And you as the delivery boy.
03:26Hey, Harper.
03:27Sorry about the interrogation before.
03:29I didn't mean to overstep.
03:31It's all good.
03:33And before you ask, I am going to have that conversation with Tony.
03:36So how's it feel to be the Bay's biggest gossip since Colleen Smart?
03:41I'm a caring community member.
03:43And here comes the man himself.
03:45Good luck.
03:48That's how you do it, yeah.
03:49Hello.
03:50Hey.
03:51How was your trip?
03:52Yeah, it was good.
03:53Lizards aside.
03:54Had to be there.
03:55Oh, right.
03:56Well, thanks for your message.
03:57I was wanting to get in touch.
03:58Oh, cool.
03:59We're heading upstairs for a feed now if you want to join us.
04:02I thought you were...
04:03What's wrong?
04:05Nothing.
04:06Never mind.
04:07Yeah, a meal sounds good.
04:08All right.
04:09Cool.
04:10Let's go.
04:11Come on.
04:12Sleep.
04:14I never see that woman again.
04:16It'll be too soon.
04:18If she said one more thing about Theo, I would have lost it.
04:22Like you haven't already.
04:24Oh, come on.
04:25You've been going on about this non-stop.
04:27She attacked Theo for making a genuine mistake.
04:30Well, it was a mistake that broke her arm.
04:32She pretended to accept your apology.
04:34And don't even get me started on that.
04:36It was a mistake.
04:37It was a mistake.
04:38It was a mistake.
04:39It was a mistake.
04:40It was a mistake.
04:41She pretended to accept your apology.
04:42And don't even get me started on what was going on with her at the hospital.
04:45Well, to be fair, it was Bree pushing everything at the hospital.
04:48And Claudia jumped straight to the idea to sue you.
04:52That's all been resolved.
04:54And to be honest, you know, I actually think she's been kind of fair.
04:57Um, why are you defending her?
04:59No, I'm not defending her.
05:01I just don't think it's that black and white.
05:04Well, I can't wait for her car to be fixed and for her to be out of our lives.
05:08Yeah, definitely.
05:10Definitely.
05:15Hey.
05:16Hey.
05:17Saw you've been shortlisted for that art prize.
05:19Still fun on me, eh?
05:20It's awesome. Congrats.
05:21I bet you wish we hadn't broken up now I'm hot property.
05:23Okay, mate, you haven't won yet.
05:25See ya.
05:26See ya.
05:29Hey.
05:30You're back.
05:31Yo.
05:32Have a good time?
05:33Yeah, it was the best.
05:34I can't wait to hear all about it.
05:35Oh, join us.
05:36I wish, but I can't.
05:37I gotta grab and go.
05:38I've got heaps of work to do, but I will catch up with you guys later.
05:44Well, it looks like we're pretty much done here.
05:46Ooh, after all that camp food, there's no way I'm skipping dessert.
05:49100%.
05:52Actually, would you mind giving us a minute?
05:54What? Why?
05:55I'd like to talk to you in private.
05:58We'll go on the balcony.
06:00It's fine.
06:01I'll see you out.
06:02No, no, no, you don't have to go.
06:03Let's talk a bit.
06:04Thanks, Perry.
06:07Is everything alright?
06:09Is the baby okay?
06:10Yeah, sorry, no, it's nothing like that.
06:13What was that about?
06:17Theo just called.
06:18He's heading to Gabby Creek with some old TAFE mates.
06:22Good, that sounds good.
06:23Yeah, well, we have the house to ourselves.
06:26So I was thinking, after dinner we can maybe have an early night in.
06:32Oh, I've got to go back to work, sorry.
06:34Okay, if you're not in the mood, just say so.
06:36No, no, no, it's not that, trust me.
06:38It's just, I've got to fix Claudia's car.
06:41Now?
06:42Yeah, as soon as it's done, she's out of our lives.
06:44Oh, can't I just wait for the morning?
06:47If I don't get started, I'll lay awake half the night thinking about what needs to be done.
06:51Well, if it's going to give you peace of mind.
06:53Okay.
06:55I'll be a couple of hours, and then I'm all yours.
06:58Promises, promises.
07:04I think I'm within my rights to ask for a moment of your time.
07:07I mean, you could have waited until Perry finished his food.
07:09He was finished, and you just spent three days camping with him.
07:13Thanks for the heads up about that, by the way.
07:15I texted you.
07:16When you were pitching a tent.
07:18Come on, you know how vulnerable Perry is.
07:20What's that got to do with it?
07:21When he found out you were pregnant, he was worried I'd abandon her.
07:24What? As if you would do that.
07:27People have been letting him down all his life.
07:29I just wanted to show him I'm in it for the long haul.
07:32Yeah, of course.
07:33I made a promise to him, huh?
07:36What about the promise that you made to me?
07:38And our baby?
07:50Marley!
07:51What's up?
07:52Where have you been?
07:53Here.
07:54This woman tried calling the shop and said she couldn't get through.
08:00It's Dad.
08:01It's Dad.
08:02She wanted to talk to you about the art comp.
08:05Are you serious?
08:06Guess what she said?
08:08What?
08:09They're announcing the winner tomorrow.
08:13And I know who it is.
08:15She told you?
08:17Not in so many words.
08:18Okay, well, what'd she say exactly?
08:20She wants you to call her back,
08:22and they need you to send through a headshot and an artist statement.
08:26Right.
08:27Well, that doesn't mean anything.
08:31Are you kidding?
08:32They don't ask for that stuff unless you're going to win, mate.
08:37You reckon?
08:38Do I reckon, Marley?
08:39I know.
08:40You got it.
08:43So, let's call her back.
08:45Come on.
08:47Hey.
09:00Rose.
09:01Hey, Perry.
09:02Sorry for the late night visit.
09:04That's okay.
09:05Have you got a minute?
09:06Yeah.
09:07Yeah.
09:09The TPP were going to call you,
09:10but I thought I should come by and talk to you face to face.
09:13I was wondering when someone would get back to me about what's going on.
09:16Yeah, sorry about the delay.
09:18But look,
09:20they are happy to proceed with prosecuting your father.
09:23Yeah?
09:24In fact, they've set a tentative court date.
09:26Okay.
09:28But Perry,
09:29they're not going to proceed unless you agree to testify against him.
09:36Thanks.
09:37I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so full on.
09:39Oh, it's okay.
09:40I should have given you a heads up about the trip.
09:42Won't happen again.
09:43Thanks.
09:45So, you want to tell me what's been going on?
09:47I've kind of built this up.
09:49Just talk to me.
09:51Well, everybody keeps asking questions
09:54about you and me and the baby
09:56and not having any answers is kind of stressing me out.
10:00What sort of questions?
10:01Are we going to find out the sex?
10:03Are you going to come to all the appointments?
10:06Are we going to move in together?
10:07Seriously?
10:08Oh, hey, hey.
10:10Oh, is this the conversation?
10:12Not the time, John.
10:13Okay, message received. Carry on.
10:15But congratulations.
10:19I forget how nosy people are around here.
10:21That's one word for it.
10:23I know that they're excited for us,
10:25but with you not being here,
10:27it just felt like I was still doing this on my own.
10:30And I get that Perry is a priority,
10:32but we do have to talk about this.
10:34We have decisions to make.
10:36Well, I don't know the answers to those questions yet.
10:39Me either.
10:40But I do know we're a good team
10:42and we'll work everything out together.
10:46So where do we start?
10:49Ah, well, I have a scan next week.
10:52Great. I'll be there.
10:54I want to be at all the appointments from now on.
10:57All right. That's one decision made.
11:00We're going to get through this one step at a time.
11:03I know it's a huge ask
11:05and we wouldn't be doing it if we didn't have to, but...
11:07But you think my dad will get off the charges
11:09if I don't testify against him?
11:11Coercion can be very difficult to prosecute.
11:13Why?
11:14Because it's hard to prove.
11:15So my statement means nothing?
11:17No, Perry, of course. It means something.
11:20We wouldn't even be here without your decision to speak up.
11:24I can't even imagine how you're feeling
11:26and I can't lie to you.
11:27Even if you do go down this path,
11:29there's no guarantee of how it'll land in court.
11:31Because it's just my word against his?
11:33Yeah.
11:35But seeing the dynamic between you two in person
11:37could be the thing to sway the magistrate's decision.
11:39I just don't think that I could do it.
11:41Rose.
11:42Hey.
11:43What's going on?
11:44I'll let Perry explain.
11:47Listen, things are moving quickly,
11:49so let me know what you decide.
11:52See you.
11:53See you.
11:56What's going on, Perry?
11:58If you'd been here, you'd know.
12:05Oh, sorry, baby.
12:07Time got away from you.
12:08Where have you been?
12:09Oh, 40 years car.
12:12Turns out it's more complicated than I thought.
12:14But you said you'd only be a couple of hours.
12:16Yeah, I did.
12:18But then I did some invoices on the way out.
12:21Oh, wow, OK.
12:22So you chose paperwork over me, OK.
12:24Well, the honeymoon's clearly over, isn't it?
12:26No, no, no.
12:27It's not.
12:28What were you saying earlier about being in the mood?
12:30That ship has sailed.
12:32I'm sorry.
12:33It's OK.
12:34I forgive you this time.
12:35Just don't make a habit of it.
12:36No, I won't.
12:37I value my life.
12:39Everything OK?
12:43Yeah.
12:44It's just been a long day.
12:46Come to bed then.
12:47Come on.
12:49I'll just have a shower.
13:02OK.
13:21OK.
13:22I know that I should have asked before posting.
13:24And I get that it's jumping the gun.
13:25But I really think that this is...
13:26Thanks.
13:28Seriously?
13:29No pushback?
13:30Nope.
13:31Good publicity.
13:33Who are you and what have you done with Marley?
13:36You were right.
13:37Ever since talking to the art comp lady,
13:39I'm feeling pretty confident that I've got this in the bag.
13:44Sorry.
13:47Hey, Mum.
13:48What's up?
13:52Kirby only just posted that, you stalker.
13:57OK.
13:58Hold your horses.
13:59I haven't won...
14:01yet.
14:06Good.
14:07You're up.
14:10Look, I'm sorry that I had a go at you last night.
14:12Oh, forget it.
14:13Listen, I called Rose.
14:16She told me what's going on.
14:18Right.
14:19So is there anything I can do?
14:22You can tell me what to do.
14:23I can't do that, Perry.
14:25It's got to be your decision.
14:27Are you scared?
14:28I mean, I'd understand that.
14:31No, it's not just that.
14:35I feel bad for dumping my dad into the cops.
14:38Hey.
14:39It's the right thing to do.
14:40Then why does it feel so wrong to testify against him in court?
14:43Well, he's a dad.
14:45It'd be strange if it didn't.
14:48I just didn't think I'd ever have to see him again.
14:52Sounds like you're leaning towards saying no.
14:54No.
14:56Everything he did to me,
14:58everything that he made me do,
15:00you can't just get away with that.
15:04You're going to be late.
15:06Oh, don't rush.
15:07I haven't even finished my coffee.
15:08Marilyn could be on her own.
15:10She won't mind.
15:11Well, she could be running for feet.
15:12Or, you know, John could be there driving her nuts.
15:14Yeah, all right.
15:15I get the hint.
15:17Why the hurry?
15:18Well, there's no hurry.
15:19I just don't want to get the blame for keeping you up all night.
15:22Don't want to get the blame for keeping you up half the night
15:24and making you late for work.
15:26How about I drop by at lunchtime with some food
15:30and I help you with those invoices?
15:32You don't have to do that.
15:33I'll just take some leftovers.
15:36Okay.
15:37Are you sure that everything is okay?
15:39Yes.
15:40Just going to be a big day.
15:42Lots of boring stuff.
15:43You don't want to hear about it.
15:44No, I don't.
15:45No.
15:46Oh, thank you.
15:47I will see you tonight.
15:48All right.
15:49Bye.
15:53Bye.
15:54Bye.
16:22Thank you for dropping these off to cash again, John.
16:24Who knows, maybe I'll lay eyes on the man today.
16:26Well, I hope it's all right.
16:28See what I can find out.
16:30Al.
16:31All right, Mr Stewart?
16:32Hey, Marilyn.
16:37A little bird told me there might be a big announcement today.
16:41I was just about to check my inbox again.
16:43Don't let me stop you.
16:45There's an email here from the art comp saying congratulations.
16:56Huh.
16:57Not so good, eh?
16:58Yeah.
17:00Um, it was...
17:02It was sent to everyone announcing the winner.
17:06Which isn't mean.
17:15Yeah, Mac, I understand that,
17:17but I'm talking about one of the latest invoices.
17:19Hang on a second.
17:21Give me a second to find what I'm talking about.
17:28Okay, I can't find it, so I'm going to have to call you back,
17:30but we are going to talk about it.
17:31Yeah.
17:33Okay.
17:44Yeah.
17:50Hey, Cass, you in there?
17:54Yeah.
17:55Yeah, I'm coming.
18:01Good.
18:03Here you go.
18:04At least this time I'll be able to tell Maz I know you got him.
18:07Thanks, John.
18:11What's all this?
18:12Oh, just stuff I'm working on for Salt.
18:16You heard from Gary?
18:18He's back home.
18:19Yeah, I bumped into him the other day.
18:21He said he was leaving.
18:23He's very worried about you.
18:25I'm fine.
18:26And when was the last time you got out of his house?
18:28I've been busy.
18:29Well, never underestimate the health benefits
18:31of a bit of fresh air and a change of scenery.
18:34Okay.
18:35Thanks, John.
18:37Look after yourself.
18:43You sure about this?
18:44No.
18:46I know it's going to be rough, but what choice do I have?
18:48Well, I'm proud of you.
18:50And like I said, I'll be there right by your side next Tuesday, okay?
18:53I promise.
18:54Thanks.
18:55Yeah.
18:56It's going to be weird.
18:57Normally when I'm in court, I'm on the other side of the law.
18:59Well, this will make a good change.
19:02Right, Rose will be waiting for me.
19:03I'm here if you need me, okay?
19:08Hey.
19:09Hey.
19:10How are you feeling?
19:11Better.
19:12Since our chat, it's taken a huge weight off my shoulders.
19:14Well, I'm glad to hear it.
19:15So, I rang the hospital earlier about booking in that scan.
19:18Oh, yeah? Cool.
19:19They're super busy, but they can squeeze it in on Thursday.
19:22It was the only slot they had left, so I just booked it.
19:25I'll send you the details.
19:27Great. Thanks.
19:28I'm really glad that you're coming.
19:30It means a lot.
19:32Cool.
19:39I can't wait for you to see the baby for the first time.
19:41It's such an amazing feeling.
19:43Yeah, I bet.
19:45What, aren't you excited?
19:47Yes, but...
19:49Yeah, but what?
19:51Look, I'm really sorry, but I can't make the scan.
19:54But last night you said you'd be there for me.
19:56Yeah, I know, I know, and I'm sorry.
19:57Well, let me guess, you have plans with Perry.
19:59Actually, yeah.
20:00Of course.
20:01Silly me, if you're thinking things would be any different.
20:03Well, hang on, just let me explain.
20:04No, no, forget it.
20:06It's easier if I go back to doing this by myself.
20:10Harper, wait up.
20:12Why? So I can hear another excuse?
20:14No, I'm good, thank you.
20:15Look, I want to be at that scan, OK?
20:17Then be there.
20:19PHONE RINGS
20:21You're already more focused on your phone.
20:23There's just a lot happening right now.
20:25There's always a lot happening.
20:26There's always something more important going on.
20:28OK, I get it.
20:29You and the baby should be my focus.
20:31Do you? Because I'm doing a lot of this on my own.
20:33Not anymore.
20:34If the scan has to be next Thursday, I'll work it out.
20:38Really?
20:39I wouldn't miss it.
20:43Yeah.
20:50Cash, wait a second.
20:53Sorry, I just want to check in on him.
20:55Of course, go.
21:00Shh.
21:09It was bad enough when Cash was doing all this from home.
21:11I just, I can't have him here like this.
21:13I cannot cope with him under my age.
21:15He's just trying to help.
21:16No, he's not, Levi.
21:17He's trying to find a problem that he can fix.
21:20Mac.
21:21Hi.
21:22Hey, hey, I've been going through our list of supplies
21:24and I reckon I've come up with a few ideas on how we can cut costs.
21:26Oh, I don't really have time right now.
21:28What, black and white?
21:29Why are you here?
21:30Mac, I'm trying to help.
21:31I don't want your help, Cash.
21:32I don't want you to be here.
21:34Mac.
