00:00♪ Closer each day, home and away ♪
00:07Eden is no pushover.
00:09If she left, it's because she wanted to.
00:11You forgave her, right?
00:13I never thought about it.
00:14Because it's easier to hate on Remi and Kirby than your big sister?
00:18I don't think that there's anything more that you can do for me.
00:21Except get you to agree to drug and alcohol counselling.
00:23What aren't you getting about this?
00:25We want you to stay strong and stay clean.
00:27You're gonna need some help with that.
00:28Okay, sign me up.
00:30Okay.
00:32Running off to a motel is childish.
00:34Oh, well, so maybe I should stay then.
00:36Maybe you should!
00:37These arguments are stupid.
00:39I feel the same way.
00:40Do you want to sort it out?
00:41It's okay, yeah?
00:42Both of you.
00:43Only a little one.
00:44Mm-hmm.
00:46I guess he's like the father that Perry never had.
00:49He's all over his case, taking him to see the lawyer tomorrow.
00:52He's so amazing.
00:53Patient and always knows what to say.
00:56Does he know that you're in love with him?
01:05Thanks.
01:07Hi.
01:08Back!
01:09Hey!
01:10Hi!
01:11Congratulations!
01:15Wait, did I drop the gun?
01:16No, no!
01:17It's all mine!
01:20Now get up here so I can kiss you!
01:26It feels like home.
01:31Alright.
01:33Come on.
01:34I've known you forever.
01:38Maybe it would be good to talk.
01:40Get your perspective.
01:45Look, where do I start?
01:49I don't know.
01:50Okay, start at the one-night stand.
01:52Well, that's when it hit me.
01:54That I really care about him.
01:56Not long after that, I hoped we could be more.
02:02Tane said that wasn't on the cards for him.
02:05And I'm certain that anything he feels for me now is more to do with the baby.
02:10That must be hard.
02:11It is.
02:14Some days it's really hard.
02:17He doesn't know that I'm actually in love with him.
02:23And it's really important to me that it stays that way.
02:26In other words, I'm dealing with it.
02:29Okay.
02:30How's that working out for you?
02:34Focusing on the positives.
02:36Tane would do anything for me and for the baby.
02:43So now we just get on with our lives.
02:48So everything's under control.
02:50It is.
02:51Cash signed the documents, so it's all actually happening.
02:56I am so proud of you.
02:58You've earned this.
03:01And thank you for my flowers.
03:02Oh.
03:03Well, I did think about going with the salt theme.
03:06Pink salt.
03:07Rock salt.
03:08Even a salt lamp.
03:12Oh, it's the hospital.
03:13Oh.
03:16Hello?
03:19Oh.
03:20Okay.
03:23Right.
03:25No, of course I better.
03:30What is it?
03:31The tribunal's set for tomorrow.
03:34That's huge.
03:35Yeah.
03:36It is.
03:37But I've also organized Abby's first session with her new counselor.
03:40Oh.
03:41Well, that's okay.
03:42I can drive her.
03:43I'll just get someone to cover me here.
03:45Actually, you might not have to.
03:46Let me make a call.
03:53It is such a relief to go out and eat without my big brother and his girlfriend keeping an eye on me.
03:57Especially when your boss is shouting.
04:01Fine.
04:02I'm twisting my arm.
04:03Oh, that was easy.
04:06It's been so full on lately, I couldn't do it without you guys.
04:09Well, how do you feel about getting even busier?
04:13I've been thinking of ways we can grow the business.
04:16And what does that look like?
04:18Oh, I have some ideas.
04:19How about we sit down tomorrow and talk it through?
04:21Sure.
04:22Great.
04:24Maz!
04:25Hi.
04:26Hi.
04:27How's Mr. Stewart?
04:28Oh, he's doing well.
04:29Actually, he's gone to Marimbula to see Martha.
04:32Oh, that's great.
04:34No, not great.
04:35No, no, it's wonderful.
04:36Just, it so nearly wasn't, you know.
04:40Excuse me, darling.
04:48Yeah, Gabby's alright, I guess.
04:51And what about the whole thing with Eden?
04:53Have you had a conversation with her about that?
04:56No, look, right now all I can think about is seeing my counsellor tomorrow.
05:00Well, at least now it's one-on-one.
05:02You don't have to worry about the whole group dynamic.
05:05Yeah, it's just having to talk about myself makes me want to throw up.
05:10I'm just glad that Levi's going to be there in case I need him.
05:21Hey.
05:22Hey.
05:23Thanks for not picking up my calls.
05:25Can't a girl wash her hair?
05:27Is Remy and Brie here?
05:28Ah, I'm on my own.
05:30Why?
05:32They haven't told you?
05:34No, what's going on?
05:36No, it's probably better you don't know.
05:38It's messy enough as it is.
05:39Hmm, that's not cryptic at all, is it?
05:41Besides, that's not why I'm here.
05:43You want a tea?
05:44No.
05:45Something's come up at work tomorrow and I can't take Abby to her new counsellor.
05:48I'll take her.
05:49I just have to get Mac to change a shift for me.
05:52I don't think that'll be a problem.
05:54Do you think that Abby will stick with it this time?
05:56Oh, I hope so.
05:58This guy was really, really hard to get a hold of.
06:01Yeah.
06:02I had to pull some strings to get the appointment.
06:04Um, his name's Tim Russell.
06:06I will send you through his details.
06:08I am so glad that she's doing this.
06:10Yeah, me too.
06:12It's a good step in the right direction.
06:14Has she ever told you why she started taking drugs in the first place?
06:19She said there wasn't any big reason.
06:21That it was a spur of the moment kind of thing.
06:23Surely it's got something to do with Mum and Dad splitting up.
06:26I mean, look at what it did to you and me.
06:28Look, I just want us to remember that it's still early days.
06:33It's not uncommon to relapse.
06:35Gee, bro, worry about the mystic.
06:38I'm just being realistic.
06:41Okay.
06:42Okay, I will be there, supporting her.
06:45Every step of the way.
06:47I just don't feel like you're hearing me.
06:49Leah, believe me, I am hearing every word.
06:55Who's that?
06:59It's Theo.
07:00He's spending a few days at his mum's and he hopes that we are working through things.
07:07Are we?
07:09Justin, we've been talking about this for hours and we just keep landing back here.
07:14I hate this.
07:16Yeah, me too.
07:17Okay, so maybe, why don't we just let things go, you know, just get on with things.
07:21Justin, please, please, hear me out.
07:23Okay, I don't know how many more times to say this.
07:26I do trust you and I am so sorry.
07:28I'm so sorry I made that stupid comment about the motel.
07:32That's the point.
07:33That's the point, isn't it?
07:34There's trust issues both ways.
07:41Then what do we do?
07:43Yeah, because this is really scaring me.
07:56Thanks for dinner.
07:58You're going back to the motel?
08:00We're not going to work this out tonight.
08:02Fine.
08:24Eden.
08:25Hi.
08:27How are you? What's been going on?
08:30Not much. You?
08:32Not much.
08:34Cool.
08:35Have you started at work yet?
08:37Yep.
08:39How is it?
08:40Oh, it's just Mango River. Every day is just more of the same.
08:45Oh, you did say you wanted to get on with things.
08:48Yeah, yeah. I might keep moving.
08:52I told you, Abby, I don't have a choice. I have to go to work today.
08:56No, I get it. You're busy. I mean, it's not like this is important, right?
09:00It is important. That's why I set it up.
09:02I don't mind. I want to be here for you.
09:05Sure you do.
09:11As soon as I said you were taking her, she was on the attack.
09:13She's probably just nervous about the counselling session. I would be too.
09:18Thank you again for doing this.
09:20Hey, I'm going to take good care of her.
09:31Hey.
09:32Hey. What's the occasion?
09:34Oh, it's nothing.
09:35Is it your birthday?
09:36No, it was just Levi being nice.
09:41Oh, it's congratulations. Of course it is.
09:45I'm happy for you two.
09:46Thanks.
09:50Hey. G'day.
09:53How's he doing?
09:55I think he's fine.
09:58Okay, you need to sit down and go over your notes for the hearing again.
10:03Bree's obviously going to argue.
10:05You just need to be clear about every single detail.
10:09When I told Abby about the changes today, her whole mood shifted.
10:12I know. That was pretty hard to miss.
10:14I thought she'd be happy about having Eden there.
10:16Eden seems to think that she's just nervous about today.
10:19Nah, Abby's taking it out on you. That makes sense.
10:23It won't be the first time.
10:25Hey, listen. That is what the counselling's for, okay?
10:29So Abby can work through whatever's going on in a safe space.
10:34You know you could just give me the keys to the van so I can drive myself?
10:37As if I would let you do this alone.
10:39I don't need you.
10:40Okay, well, suck it up. Because I'm coming with you, okay?
10:43Because I'm coming with you, okay?
10:47You must be missing uni. Seeing all your friends.
10:51So?
10:52So, seeing a counsellor might, you know, give you some strategies.
10:57And you can go back to your old life.
10:59And you can go back to yours, right?
11:01Got it.
11:02That is not what I meant, Abs.
11:05Yep. Okay.
11:14Maybe you'll enjoy, you know, getting to talk about yourself.
11:19Just as long as you don't say anything bad about your sister.
11:22Yep.
11:23I don't want to talk to you anymore.
11:26Okay.
11:28Okay.
11:35I know you've been encouraging us to talk, but every time we do, we just feel broken.
11:40I'm sorry things have got so hard.
11:42They are.
11:43We've been through our rough patches, but we've always been able to work them out.
11:47Well, why is it different this time?
11:50I don't know. I just feel stuck.
11:54Well, this is really the first big challenge you've had since you got married.
11:57Maybe you're being too hard on yourself.
11:59Well, it doesn't help that Justin keeps disappearing.
12:02Hey.
12:04Hey.
12:06What's going on?
12:07Um, nothing.
12:08Why don't you take a seat and I'll bring you out a coffee.
12:10You tell her, Marilyn, what's going on between us.
12:13Justin, you walked out again last night, so maybe I needed a friend to talk to.
12:17That's great, Mia.
12:19Why don't I leave you two to sort out our problems?
12:23Good.
12:26I've been thinking about you and Tana.
12:28That's why you wanted to see me?
12:29Well, you wanted my perspective, yeah?
12:31True.
12:32I'm worried about the stress that you're putting on yourself.
12:34We don't have to go over this again. I told you I'm fine.
12:37And I know that it wouldn't be easy, but maybe you should be honest with him.
12:41Maybe you should tell him how you feel.
12:42That way you don't have to keep covering it up.
12:45It might actually help you move on.
12:48I'm pretty sure that's the worst advice I've ever received.
12:52Really?
12:54Why would I make myself more vulnerable than I already am?
12:57Because you guys are about to have a kid together.
12:59Because you guys are going to be in each other's lives 24-7.
13:01Yeah, like I need a reminder.
13:02Well, what happens if you see him out there with somebody else?
13:04Well, I don't know.
13:05It's like living across the street from your ex-girlfriend.
13:10Sorry.
13:11No, no, no. It's okay.
13:12I'm probably the last person to be handing out advice.
13:15We never had a chance to talk about it.
13:18Why did you and Eden break up?
13:24Hey.
13:25Hi.
13:26Marley, you were out early this morning.
13:28Yeah, I had to deliver a board.
13:30Marley says congratulations are in order.
13:32That's gotta feel good.
13:33It does, actually.
13:34Yes. Okay, well, what's the plan?
13:36Have you got any changes in mind?
13:38I mean, I love salt, don't get me wrong,
13:40but it is an opportunity to reset,
13:42maybe take things in a new direction.
13:45Subtle.
13:47So, Kobi, I'm guessing we're having that meeting today?
13:49How's lunchtime sound?
13:50Sure.
13:51Yes.
13:52There you go.
13:53Thank you very much.
13:54No worries.
13:57I'll catch up.
13:58Okay.
14:01Hey.
14:03Hey, Marley.
14:05I thought you were taking Abigail to the counsellor.
14:08Oh, well, something's come up.
14:10But, uh, Eden's gonna drive her instead.
14:13Did you try that?
14:14Are you sure that's a good idea?
14:17What do you mean?
14:18Nothing.
14:19Don't worry about it.
14:20No, no, no.
14:21If I need to know about something, tell me.
14:24Yeah, ask Abigail.
14:25It's not my place to say.
14:33I lost control of the things I fear the most.
14:41Run with the ghost, you think you know.
14:48What's going on?
14:53You're not happy.
14:54You haven't said a word the whole way here.
14:57Is it because of the counselling?
15:00Or have I done something?
15:03Because it's always about you.
15:06That's not what I'm saying, Abby.
15:09Hi.
15:10I'm Tim.
15:12Guessing one of you is Abigail?
15:14You're the counsellor.
15:15She prefers Abby.
15:16I'm Eden, her sister.
15:18Right.
15:19Hi.
15:20Hi.
15:21I thought your brother might be with you.
15:23He's busy.
15:24He's always busy.
15:26Well, he said you were keen to talk.
15:29She's a bit nervous.
15:31I can speak for myself.
15:36Look, this is a bit boring, but I just need you to fill these out before we can get started.
15:40Anything you don't want to answer in there, that's fine.
15:42Just leave it.
15:44Just up here.
15:54Oh.
15:57Hey, how's it going?
15:59I can't focus.
16:03Molly said something about some kind of tension between Eden and Abby.
16:07Oh.
16:08Okay, do you know about that?
16:09No.
16:11Neither of them has said anything.
16:12I've texted Eden.
16:13She hasn't responded.
16:15Okay, listen to me.
16:17One problem at a time.
16:19You just need to get through these hearings first.
16:21I get that.
16:22But Abby does not need anything else.
16:24I'm selling her right now.
16:25Or Eden.
16:28One at a time.
16:29Mm-hmm.
16:30That's it.
16:40And there really isn't any way you can fix things with Eden.
16:42Look, I get why this doesn't make sense to you.
16:45You still love her, right?
16:46Well, that's not the point.
16:47It's everything.
16:48It's everything.
16:49People can spend their whole lives trying to find the connection you two share.
16:54You need to talk to her.
16:55Okay, how about this?
16:58If you talk to Tana, I'll talk to Eden.
17:01That's low.
17:02Well, it looks like we're both stuck in the same spot.
17:05You have nothing to worry about, Mrs Stewart.
17:07I will take care of it.
17:08Okay?
17:09All right, love to Martha.
17:11Bye.
17:12How's Alf?
17:13Going.
17:14Says he's fine, but he seems a bit flat.
17:16Well, he has been through a lot.
17:18Yes, he has.
17:19So what did he want?
17:20Oh, he just wants me to sort out some surf club stuff, that's all.
17:24I'm thinking you haven't heard from Justin?
17:27No.
17:28It can't be a good thing.
17:31All right.
17:33So I'm curious.
17:35What are you thinking for the shop?
17:37What do you think about launching a social media campaign?
17:40I post on our socials all the time.
17:42Think bigger.
17:43Think about the audience that we want to reach
17:45and how exactly we want to sell the brand.
17:48Wow.
17:49This is sounding pretty big.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Well, we can do whatever works for you.
17:53It just comes down to two things.
17:55And what are they?
17:56How quickly do you want to grow the business
17:58and how much money are you willing to spend to make that happen?
18:05I'm so sorry about before.
18:08It doesn't matter.
18:10Listen.
18:11Listen.
18:13I love you.
18:16And I know you love me.
18:18Of course I love you.
18:19So your stuff and my stuff,
18:23there's nothing we can't get past.
18:26You know?
18:29We're going to be okay.
18:31Right?
18:36You know what we should do?
18:38What?
18:39We should get out of town.
18:40Just the two of us.
18:42I would love that.
18:43Yeah, we never had our honeymoon.
18:45We can remind ourselves how good we can be.
18:48Exactly.
18:50Where do you want to go?
18:52Let's go home. We'll work it out there.
18:54Hmm.
18:59Abi, come on. Talk to me.
19:04Look, I know that you don't like talking about yourself,
19:07but this is your session. You're in control.
19:09You were doing my head in.
19:10Shut up.
19:12Okay.
19:13If you're ready to head inside, we can get started.
19:16I'm not doing it.
19:18Abi.
19:19I'll talk to her. She'll change her mind.
19:20Yeah, maybe just give her a minute to cool off first.
19:22Look, if she leaves now, it's going to be impossible to get her back.
19:25Can you wait? Is that okay?
19:26I won't be long, I promise.
19:27Of course. Take as long as you need. I'll be here.
19:29Thanks.
19:31Abi!
19:38Abi, can you please call me back?
19:40I need to know how Abi's doing.
19:42Dr Levi, I'm really glad I ran into you.
19:44I want to talk to you about Brie's appearance at the tribunes.
19:47That's actually where I'm heading.
19:48Good timing, because I am really counting on you to speak up.
19:53I can't discuss what I'm going to say.
19:54I don't need the details.
19:56I just need to know that Brie is going to be held accountable for what she did.
20:00That will be up to the hospital.
20:02Listen to you.
20:04They respect you.
20:05But what happened to Mr Stewart can't ever happen again.
20:17Levi said you were on board. That you wanted to do this.
20:20What, I changed my mind?
20:22Abi, just give it a try. What have you got to lose?
20:27Are you going to drive me home or not?
20:29Not.
20:30That's fine. I'm just going to grab my own ride.
20:33Seriously?
20:35Yes, seriously.
20:38When you got away from Dom, you said that you wanted to change.
20:41That you didn't want to live like that anymore.
20:43So?
20:45So, I want you to think really carefully about your next step.
20:49I mean it.
20:50Abs.
20:52Levi pulled strings to make this happen and you're not going to get another chance like this.
21:03They should have given me more time.
21:05What do you mean more time? You've been going over your statement for days.
21:08They're trying to set me up. Can't you see it?
21:10She hasn't even acknowledged she's made a mistake.
21:12But maybe today will turn her around.
21:14I was checking my patient's blood results to ensure that the correct medication was being given.
