00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02You have indulged Quinn so many times.
00:05You need to take a good look at yourself.
00:06I'm sure it'll pass.
00:07I don't think so.
00:08And I have completely lost all trust in you two.
00:14That's exactly what you should do, boy lass.
00:16You know, we just need one more guy.
00:18Well, he's not going to sweet talk his way out of anything with me anymore.
00:22You don't need a hundred thousand.
00:23You don't need an empty promise.
00:24May, please, let me do that for you.
00:26And I do think it's better if you're just not around us anymore.
00:31Neighbours.
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:38With a little understanding.
00:42You can find the perfect blend.
00:48Neighbours.
00:51Should be there for one another.
00:56That's when good neighbours become good friends.
01:06Mum and Dad are just being so distant.
01:08Maybe we can handcuff them together.
01:10Whoa, it is clean.
01:15You spoke to Vic?
01:17Is everything okay?
01:18No.
01:19Funnily enough, it's not.
01:20Yeah, I was annoyed when he offered me the hundred K at the start.
01:23What?
01:25I thought he would have told you.
01:26No.
01:27Fine, great.
01:28Couldn't even get around to bribing me properly.
01:30Yeah, well, that's Vic.
01:32But, I mean, say he's been talking and I think it's something...
01:34No, don't say another word.
01:35You are not actually stupid enough to consider this.
01:38Look, I'm not stupid, okay?
01:39I know what he's doing.
01:40And he owes us and he owes us a lot more than what he's offering.
01:43Hey, it's only to pay down the debt.
01:45I just told him that he's toxic and I don't want him in my life.
01:48So, that is my answer.
01:50No, we are not taking the money.
02:04Holly.
02:06Holly?
02:07Huh?
02:08I was just telling Felix you're going to train him up today.
02:10My trial isn't too much of a trial.
02:13That's rather good.
02:15Yeah, okay.
02:16He'll be doing the morning shift, so could you teach him how to open?
02:20Sure.
02:21Okay, well, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to Irene Rising.
02:24I've got some appointments.
02:26Although the only thing rising down there at the moment is people's cholesterol.
02:30Yeah, okay, bye.
02:35So, um, how much hospital experience do you have?
02:38I'll scrape leftovers off the plates of convicted felons.
02:42All right, we'll start with the basics then.
02:47No, I understand.
02:50Taking your father's money would be the pragmatic thing to do.
02:53Exactly.
02:54Okay, I just don't understand why she can't see that.
02:57Well, given the way that she's stuck up for him over the years,
03:01I guess it must make his betrayal cut especially deeply.
03:04And if she can't take the money, then neither can I.
03:08Oh!
03:09I'm sorry.
03:10That's, um, that's my fault.
03:12I, um, I was hovering.
03:15Trying to decide whether I can intrude.
03:19Good luck.
03:22Melanie, how would you feel about grabbing another coffee?
03:26I mean, I know we can't pursue anything romantically,
03:29but it would be nice to have a conversation with someone who doesn't think I'm the devil.
03:34I'm not sure I can.
03:37My loyalty has to be with Jane.
03:39No, right.
03:41I'm sorry.
03:42I do hope everything works out with the family.
03:46Thanks.
04:05Hey.
04:06Hi.
04:07What are your plans for today?
04:10I just got, um, rehearsal later.
04:14Um, I can do some of that yard work you've been wanting, if you like.
04:19Can you get Mike's bike out of the garage?
04:22Jane needs to take some photos. Mike asked her to sell it for him.
04:25Sure.
04:26Yeah.
04:29Listen, Wendell, we haven't really spoken in a few days.
04:33Sorry, I've got to get back to work.
04:35I'm slammed.
04:40Hey.
04:42Hey.
04:43What are you two up to?
04:45Just hanging out with Mum. Super quiet at the pub.
04:48See you at rehearsal.
04:49Yep.
04:58Rod Welb.
04:59Did you finish the trespass report?
05:01Uh, yeah. I left the case file on my desk. It's right there.
05:04Is it in the drawers, or...?
05:06Look, Constable, if you can't figure out something this basic,
05:10then you shouldn't be wearing the uniform.
05:26After your master chef routine with Therese last night,
05:29I think that our dinner should be...
05:31Something funny and pre-prepared?
05:33Speak my language.
05:34How about burgers at Greasemonkey's?
05:37Uh, nah.
05:40Now you don't want burgers,
05:42or now you don't want to risk running into Felix?
05:45The latter.
05:47I agreed to have him in our orbit.
05:49It doesn't mean we have to go places we're bound to bump into him.
05:52Hey, don't drop your hand.
05:54What's wrong?
05:55Just not sure that taking such a hard line is helpful.
05:59I got out of his way when he wanted a job at the tram.
06:02Yeah, you did.
06:04But we can't avoid doing things in life we want just because of Felix.
06:07That's not moving forward.
06:16But have you managed to fill out the cast yet?
06:19I have everyone except for that last spot.
06:22And Krista said that you are definitely out?
06:26Like, even if your girlfriend really needs you?
06:29Like your special talent could be rescuing a damsel in distress.
06:33I'm making a donation.
06:35Yes, and we're very grateful.
06:37Alright, we have rehearsals later this afternoon if you guys want to swing by.
06:41Yes, we do.
06:42Cool.
06:43First, I have a meeting with a guy who's selling me a baby grand piano.
06:47You're buying a piano?
06:49For the hotel.
06:51I'm going to open up a piano bar in the foyer,
06:53and it'll open alongside Boyless.
06:55Does Dad know about this?
06:57Not yet, but that's the game we're playing.
06:59Bye.
07:01Ciao.
07:02See you guys later.
07:07It really seems like Krista needs this night to be a huge success.
07:10Drop it, As. You need to find someone else to fill that slot.
07:13Trust me, I have tried everyone.
07:15How hard can it be to find a hot guy who's willing to give his kid off in public?
07:28Sigh.
07:29Sigh.
07:36When you open, just make sure that you check the float.
07:38Irene Rising residents love paying cash.
07:41Hi.
07:42Hey.
07:43Oh, hi. New job?
07:44Yeah, as long as I don't muck it up.
07:46Can I grab a table for two outside?
07:48Sure, anywhere you like.
07:49Thanks.
07:51Rules for table service?
07:53Bring the menus, give them a nice greeting, be warm, but don't overdo it.
07:57Alright, grab them some water and ask if they want to order any coffees.
08:00Do you reckon you can handle that?
08:01Got it.
08:13Sorry, my bad.
08:20It's okay, it just scared me a little bit.
08:23It's okay.
08:31You sure you're alright? I didn't mean to s-
08:32I said I'm fine.
08:34Just go surf.
08:54Sigh.
09:06Did Byron send you?
09:07No, no he did not.
09:09I just, I wanted to check that you're sure about turning down the money.
09:16Here's the way I see it.
09:17You asked me to move out when I messed up with Aaron.
09:20And as much as I miss Isla every day and night that I don't have her,
09:25I needed to be held accountable and made to look at myself.
09:30And I would like Dad to do the same thing.
09:33Yeah, I understand that would be good for him but don't base your decision on what he needs.
09:39I understand you want him to have consequences but try and remember that saying yes could be good for your future and even more so for Isla's.
09:48I thought you'd be completely against it.
09:50I have no intention of letting Vic off the hook but you two shouldn't have to carry all of that debt if you don't have to.
09:59You wouldn't be on your own, there's a bunch of guys doing it.
10:01Yeah, and I know Boyless sounds a little kinky but I promise you it is not.
10:04No, it's a lot more taxable.
10:05And it's for such a good cause.
10:06I'm not really much of a dancer.
10:08That's okay, you don't have to be.
10:09I used to dance for a living so I'm going to do all the choreography.
10:12Right.
10:14This will be in your capable hands.
10:15Absolutely.
10:16Alright, well it makes it a bit less scary.
10:19Sign me up.
10:21Yes, I mean that's great, welcome aboard.
10:25Why don't you chuck your number in here and we can keep talking.
10:28Sure, let's do it.
10:30Hey, we have a rehearsal later on if you want to join.
10:33I mean, I might go home first and change, unless you want me like this.
10:38No, of course not, I get it, get changed.
10:40Alright, well I'll talk to you soon.
10:43Talk to you soon.
10:44Right.
10:49Mate, he is so into you.
10:51What? No, he's not.
10:53What is? He's gay and he's clearly got the hots for you.
10:56Leo, he is not gay, he is just a real estate agent.
10:59They flirt for a living.
11:00Sure.
11:05Sadie.
11:07Mum's just in the back, she's taking her time out.
11:11Is she okay?
11:12Um.
11:14What, did something happen between her and your dad or?
11:17I mean yeah, dad is trying to fix things by doing like chores,
11:20but like that's just making mum more annoyed and I don't know what to do about it
11:23because mum doesn't want to have this conversation on his terms.
11:25So.
11:27That's okay, we will just wait.
11:29Okay.
11:33Looks like I'm not the only one getting under my wife's skin right now.
11:37Must be something in there.
11:39Thank you so much, lovely to meet you.
11:42Yes.
11:46Sounded promising.
11:48Well, Lassiter's is now the official owner of a baby grand piano.
11:51And I am an expert on the matter.
11:53Another coffee?
11:55No thanks, I'm good.
11:57Felix, order up.
12:12Hello?
12:20Hello?
12:26It's just a girl.
12:43You know when people go through something like we have, PTSD is a real thing.
12:47Oh really?
12:49Have you been sleeping?
12:51Fine.
12:53Any bad dreams or flashbacks?
12:55Felix, we had one conversation after, don't think that that means that you know me.
12:59Now just take these to table two and leave me alone.
13:13I was hoping you might have the kids here to talk to.
13:16No, sorry.
13:18Just me.
13:20I wanted to talk to you about your offer.
13:22Talk?
13:24Or are you planning on tearing strips off of me?
13:27I actually suggested that they accept your money.
13:32Right.
13:37You're welcome.
13:38Right.
13:43I didn't do it for you.
13:45Now I want our children to have a better and easier future.
13:50But I asked you here to tell you this.
13:54If you ever try and use this as a lever to control or manipulate them, then you will have me to answer to.
14:03And you want it right or wrong?
14:04Right or wrong.
14:07Wow.
14:09You don't exactly have a track record with that so I'll believe it when I see it.
14:12But I am serious Vic.
14:15Do not play games with my children.
14:32Hey Jane.
14:35Is that a new uniform?
14:38Oh, no, no, this is just the costume for the boy last show.
14:42Oh, right.
14:45For a minute there I thought the police force had issued a whole new short version.
14:52Andrew, I wonder, could we please move this into the sun?
14:56This might be better light.
14:57Yeah, sure.
14:59Oh, my god.
15:04What's the matter?
15:06Dog poo.
15:08Doesn't Byron watch out for that stupid dog?
15:12I'm sure it was just an oversight.
15:14No, I swear it's laziness.
15:16Better look out next time.
15:18Everything alright Andrew?
15:20Look, I've got dog poo on my shoe Jane, so no, not really.
15:29So the new owner of the shed is letting us use the space because the show is for a good cause.
15:35So best behaviour boys.
15:37What, are you going to a hen's party after this?
15:39I thought it was a dress rehearsal.
15:41Is it just me or does something smell like dog crap?
15:43You better be the last person to complain about that mate.
15:46About what?
15:47Are you going to arrest him with a sexy left hand?
15:49Cut the chatter. Cut the chatter!
15:53Before we start the group number I need an update on everyone's special talents.
15:56I'm working on a trick where I pull a dove out of Mandy's.
16:00How is that even possible?
16:02It's magic mate.
16:06And what's your special talent going to be?
16:09Or are you just going to bring the bad dancing?
16:12Well, I was hoping I'd be good by the time you had your A with me.
16:16I am so sorry that I went AWOL before.
16:19There is, there's just a bit going on.
16:22It happens.
16:24And I just popped in to book a table for tonight.
16:27Oh, of course.
16:29And to see how you are.
16:33Well that depends.
16:35Have you got eight hours?
16:37No.
16:39Well, I'll see you later.
16:41Bye.
16:42Have you got eight hours?
16:44No.
16:46Hey, I do have a sympathetic ear.
16:48And from what Sadie tells me it sounds like you could use another one right now.
16:55Well, it's about Andrew.
16:57I was in this terrifying situation and I needed him.
17:01And he wasn't there because of his bruised ego.
17:04I mean, I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this.
17:07But you need to tell him how you feel.
17:10I know, it's annoying.
17:12But I always feel better when I actually talk to Cara.
17:16Yeah, but I have tried.
17:19Remy, it's...
17:22I don't know, it just hasn't been easy.
17:24I know.
17:29It's not miraculously going to fix itself with one conversation, but...
17:39Thanks.
17:40Five, six, seven, eight.
17:43And turn.
17:45Two, three, four.
17:47Five, six, seven, eight.
17:49And one, two, three, four.
17:51Ah!
17:53Five, six, seven, eight.
17:55Turn.
17:57It's not your fault, it's Byron's fault.
17:59Rhett just learnt this dance.
18:01How come he can get it and you can't?
18:03Exactly, get your head in the game.
18:05Look, I'm sorry.
18:07I've just got a little bit of a problem.
18:08What did I do?
18:10You're distracting.
18:12I'm being supportive.
18:14Sades, do you really need to be?
18:16Well, if Byron can't perform in front of one person,
18:18how can he perform in front of a crowd?
18:20How's your leg?
18:22Oh, I pulled my hamstring.
18:25Do you want me to...
18:27This might be easier if someone else gets behind her.
18:29Yeah, yeah, of course.
18:31That's so kind of you.
18:35Hey, we thought we'd check out the rehearsals.
18:38How are the troops going?
18:40Some of them are getting on quite well.
18:44Alright, just let's focus.
18:56Ah, Holly, perfect.
18:58I told Susan I'd have dinner ready by the time she got home,
19:01but I'm behind schedule.
19:02How did Felix go today?
19:04Yeah, I don't think it's going to work out.
19:06Why? What happened?
19:08Nothing happened. I just got a bad vibe.
19:10He wants to make this work.
19:12And I really want a unicorn.
19:14Holly, we're giving him a second chance.
19:16Harold says he's on the level.
19:18Apparently they had some really nice chats.
19:21Is there something else wrong?
19:23No, I think I left my phone at the AD2.
19:25I'll be right back.
19:26No, no, no, not until we've got dinner on track.
19:28Dad, I need my phone.
19:30Yes, and I need you to cut potatoes.
19:32Anyway you like, just remember Susan likes some hassle back.
19:41What else can you tell me about Felix?
19:43Can we talk about literally anything else?
20:03Hi.
20:09Is that helping?
20:12The drink or the stale look on my face?
20:17I saw your conversation with Jane earlier.
20:21It didn't look overly pleasant.
20:24Ah, yeah.
20:26As it turns out,
20:28it might be a long while before I earn even a scarecrow forgiveness.
20:32I didn't expect it to happen overnight.
20:35Yeah, it's really sinking in just how much I hurt.
20:40I'm sorry.
20:42I'm loading.
20:44You didn't want to be part of this.
20:46Well, I think there's an argument that could be made that
20:49listening isn't betraying Jane.
20:55She has quite the low opinion on me.
20:58Before now I'd
21:00shrug it off
21:02as a typical moralistic Jane.
21:04But now you're starting to think that
21:07maybe she's on the money.
21:09She sees me more clearly than anyone.
21:12Sounds like this is progress.
21:14You're changing.
21:16Seeing things how she sees them.
21:19Do you think that's really possible?
21:23For people to actually change?
21:27I think it's hard.
21:29Especially at our age when
21:30our life decisions have made us who we are.
21:36Well, that's not out of the question.
21:38No.
21:40If the will's there, it just
21:42takes guts.
21:44But I
21:46hope that
21:48I have learnt from some of my mistakes.
21:50Believe you me,
21:52I have made some doozies.
21:57There are some skeletons in your closet.
21:58I think I told you everything online.
22:04If I buy you a drink,
22:06would you mind sharing some of your life lessons?
22:09Sure.
22:11As long as it's just as friends.
22:14Friends.
22:29Sorry to scare you.
22:31What are you doing here?
22:45Coming up on Neighbours.
22:47Why have you got the nice plates out?
22:49Are you going to throw them at me?
22:51Can I ask you a question?
22:53Are we here because you were hoping to bump into Paul?
22:55I don't understand.
22:57You're staying here.
22:59I thought you were at the halfway house.
23:01Who are you hiding from?
