00:00What are you doing about counselling?
00:10I don't know, but I'm just not going to lean on Levi.
00:13He must be really sick of hearing my problems.
00:15I wouldn't be standing here if I was.
00:17I cannot believe I didn't see this sooner.
00:19It is so obvious.
00:20You've got a crush on Abby.
00:21I'm worried about you.
00:22Oh, for God's sake, Marilyn, I've told you a thousand times, I'm fine.
00:27Now just back off.
00:28Rude.
00:29Rude?
00:30What the hell are you doing at home?
00:31It's good to see you too.
00:32Sorry to interrupt.
00:33I'm a bit all over the shop at the minute.
00:36You've had a big health scare.
00:37I think it's only natural.
00:38It can come down to one doctor's bad day.
00:41They make one mistake, and you're done and dusted.
00:44What do you mean, one doctor's bad day?
00:46You said that you would trust me to handle things, but obviously you don't.
00:50Yes, I know how it looks.
00:51What were you thinking?
00:52Can I explain myself?
00:53I know that I said that you can handle your own problems, but you haven't done anything
00:57about it, Bree.
00:58This is not a problem that you can self-manage.
01:01So if you're not willing to seek help, then what exactly are you doing?
01:06I need to figure out where to get this assessment done.
01:09Hopefully from there, I can get some help.
01:28Woo!
01:32Woo!
01:57You trying to break the sound barrier?
01:59I still can't believe that this is the first thing you wanted to do when you got back.
02:03I wanted to do something we both loved.
02:05Well, I'm glad that you're back and you're in a good place.
02:08Yeah, it helps to have an official diagnosis.
02:10It feels like I can finally move forward.
02:12Yeah, so what does that look like?
02:13What's a psychologist saying about managing...
02:15Maybe you're not talking about this in the street.
02:17Relax.
02:18I don't think Barma's home.
02:20How's Eden?
02:21You sounded worried on the phone.
02:22Oh, let's not unpack that hot mess.
02:25She knows where I am if she needs me.
02:27Fair enough.
02:28So what else is on the bucket list?
02:30Well, I've missed you.
02:33Well, you know, lunch at the diner.
02:37Yes, that is exactly what's on my mind.
02:42I've missed you.
02:48I mean, what the hell was Brie thinking?
02:51From what I understand, she just couldn't make a decision on what to do for me.
02:56Luckily, Levi was there.
02:58Yeah, it sure was.
03:01I mean, nothing excuses Brie's negligence.
03:04Yeah, but she seemed genuinely sorry.
03:06Oh, well, that's just great, Dad.
03:08Why are you defending her?
03:10Well, having a shot at Brie now is not going to help anything.
03:13Besides, I'm fit as a mallee bull.
03:15Can't we just try and move on?
03:17I mean, have you moved on?
03:18Really?
03:19It's been a long time since I've seen you that upset.
03:22I don't know why it's still affecting me like this.
03:26It's no small thing, what you went through.
03:28I mean, one mistake...
03:33Anyway, like you said, you're still here and you're fighting fit.
03:39I'm glad you're back, love.
03:40Well, certainly didn't make Marilyn feel like that.
03:44Yeah, yeah, look, I'm not so old and stupid that I don't realise when somebody deserves a proper apology.
03:50Good. I'll come with you.
04:00I'm not interested in whatever this is.
04:03Oh, well, a cynic might suggest that maybe you're trying to avoid a particular conversation.
04:07Yeah, I'm just busy.
04:09Busy? Please, you have been staring off into space.
04:13Listen, it's just between us.
04:15So why deny that you've got a crush on Abigail?
04:17Because I don't have one.
04:19Because I don't have one.
04:20Well, like, the sooner you admit it, the sooner that we can figure it out together.
04:23There is no we, and there is nothing to figure out.
04:27Now, I have a lesson to teach.
04:29OK, I'm backing off, but this isn't over.
04:31I'm not interested in your crazy crush theories.
04:34OK, I'll be back, though.
04:35Hey, hey, what did I just see? Has someone got a crush on someone?
04:40You want the ghost, John?
04:41Really?
04:42OK, just between us girls,
04:45I've had all sorts of women coming up to Salt
04:48asking about the silver fox in the life-saving gear down here.
04:51Hilarious.
04:52I can take a hint.
04:54Oh, that'd be a first.
04:55For the record, you are a very handsome man, John.
04:59Stop it.
05:03Zip it.
05:04Ah.
05:09That's hardly the sort of mouth-to-mouth
05:11you should be practising while in uniform.
05:13In Dana's defence, her CPR skills are second to none.
05:17Oh, yeah? You like that? You should see my hand signals.
05:19Oh, is it too much to expect certain standards while on duty?
05:23I think that's my cue.
05:24Yeah.
05:25In the future, please respect my professional boundaries.
05:28Oh, absolutely.
05:29The surf life-saving code of conduct comes first.
05:31Yes, I will come and see you when I am done.
05:34Any chance of starting this patrol before sunset?
05:37Oh, well, technically, my shift doesn't start for another two minutes.
05:40You coming or not?
05:41Yes.
05:42Oh, I don't suppose today is finally the day.
05:46For what?
05:47For me getting to drive this thing.
05:48No.
05:49Why not?
05:50That's a long list.
05:51But basically, because I don't have a death wish.
06:00I don't really blame Mr Stewart.
06:03I did ask Ru to come back without talking to him about it.
06:05Well, it sounds like it was a little bit tough on you.
06:07Yeah, but we need to remember that Alf isn't really himself anymore.
06:10I'm coming.
06:11Hey!
06:12Hey, Ru!
06:13Hello.
06:14Welcome back.
06:15You have been so missed around here, Ru.
06:17Oh, I've missed you guys so much.
06:18How was the cruise? I want to know everything.
06:20Oh, it was unbelievable.
06:22It was fantastic.
06:23But listen, um, Dad, you wanted to, um, say something?
06:26Uh, Marilyn, um, I was wrong to get stuck into you like that before.
06:32You didn't deserve it.
06:34I really am happy to have Ru home.
06:36Thank you, Mr Stewart.
06:38I just wanted help.
06:39Yeah, you did the right thing, love.
06:43Right, well, uh, I'll get back to it.
06:45Oh, no, you can't go without having a tea.
06:47Sit down.
06:48I'll bring it over.
06:49Aw.
06:51Say, how's Ryan doing?
06:52Mm.
06:53Oh, he's loving it.
06:54He's king of the bar.
06:55Oh, wow.
06:56Sounds like he's in his element.
06:57Yeah, I know.
06:58Look, it's a huge story.
06:59I'm going to fill you in later, OK?
07:00I've just got to have a good chat to Marilyn.
07:01Oh, OK.
07:02Wait.
07:03Oh.
07:04Is everything OK?
07:05Look, I've got to be honest.
07:07You know, I'm really annoyed that you didn't tell me that Dad was in hospital.
07:10I wanted to, but he didn't want me to worry you.
07:12I am worried.
07:13I mean, my dad had a major medical event, and Brie did nothing?
07:18Yes.
07:19And he's not even upset that she's not going to be disciplined.
07:22What do you mean?
07:24The hospital set up a tribunal, and she took leave before they could suspend her.
07:29So my father nearly dies because of her, and the hospital does nothing about it?
07:33Yes.
07:34It's as if it never happened.
07:40There are not many things I would miss lunch for.
07:42That is one of them.
07:43OK, but I do need food.
07:45Yeah, I'm not sure we've got much, but...
07:47I don't care.
07:48Anything will do.
07:50Sandwiches?
07:51Yeah.
07:52OK, so, is there anything I can do to help with...
07:56What are we calling this?
07:58It's OCD.
07:59We can officially call it that now.
08:01And I'm not ashamed of my diagnosis.
08:04Yeah, of course not.
08:07But now that you know what it is, are you sure that you don't want to tell anyone at the hospital?
08:11I'm more sure than ever.
08:12It's non-negotiable.
08:13Brie, you can't be the only doctor to have OCD.
08:15Yeah, but it doesn't mean that it won't stall my career.
08:18I've seen it happen.
08:20I guess I just expected more from the medical profession.
08:22Yeah, but at least I have the tools to handle it now.
08:26So no one actually needs to know about it.
08:29I am so proud of you.
08:31You know that?
08:33Yeah.
08:36Hey.
08:37I thought I'd find you here.
08:38Is it OK if I come in?
08:40Yeah, yeah, come in.
08:44When did you get back?
08:46Look, honestly, I came back as soon as I found out my father needed me.
08:51So how are you?
08:52I mean, did you have a good break?
08:53Are you feeling relaxed?
08:55I'm so sorry for what happened to Alf.
08:58Are you?
09:00Because he was your patient and he put his trust in you and you let him down.
09:04I'm sorry.
09:07I don't know.
09:08Where are you going?
09:09Stop.
09:10Rue, please.
09:11Stop.
09:16Rue.
09:27Has Rue left yet?
09:28Not yet.
09:29I really thought that this was over, but it's just going to keep following me around.
09:32And that is why nobody can know Remy.
09:35Hey, hey, look at her.
09:36Let me just breathe.
09:37Relax.
09:38Now, she's just heard of this.
09:39She's a bit shaken up.
09:40Yeah, don't blame her.
09:41Of course she's shaken up.
09:42And she has a point.
09:43I let Alf down.
09:45Yeah, but you're facing up to it, okay?
09:47You're dealing with the problems.
09:48Yeah, yes, but you and I both know that I should have faced more serious consequences
09:52if it wasn't for you.
09:53You've been through enough and you are managing it in all the right ways.
09:56Yeah, but not everybody is going to understand that.
09:58You are allowed to move on.
10:00Maybe I should just go in there, face up to it, let her yell at me.
10:03That's not happening.
10:04Not on my watch.
10:06I feel like a coward hiding out here.
10:08Rue, that is the last thing you are.
10:11You stay out here.
10:12I'll deal with it.
10:15Where is she?
10:20She's not coming back.
10:21Oh, okay.
10:22I'll go and talk to her then.
10:23No, you won't.
10:24You won't be talking to her today at all.
10:25Maybe another time when you've cooled down.
10:27Okay, this is what I don't understand.
10:29Everyone's so determined to protect her and this is why she's gotten away with what happened.
10:33It's not like that.
10:34She feels terrible about what happened.
10:36Now, listen, she made a mistake, Rue.
10:38She's accepted that, but she's taken the necessary steps to deal with it.
10:41Okay, what's she doing about it?
10:43Trust me, she's been through enough.
10:44Yeah, well, my father is still going through it.
10:45Rue, please, can you leave?
10:46I'm not going anywhere until she understands the damage she's done.
10:49Oh, she gets it, okay?
10:50Do you know my friends called me back early because they were so worried about it?
10:53Rue, I'll be charging you rent before you get near her today.
10:56How can you be okay with what she did?
10:58Look, I feel terrible for how Alf is feeling, okay?
11:01But if he is having such a hard time, what the hell are you doing here and not with him?
11:14I am being respectful.
11:16I just think that, respectfully, you are stuck in your ways.
11:19If the system works, I'm happy to be stuck.
11:22Oh.
11:25Oh.
11:28Hey, Marley.
11:29Question for you.
11:30Do you trust your employees?
11:32Sure, yeah.
11:33Hmm.
11:34You wouldn't treat Abigail any differently, would you?
11:37What?
11:38No, why would I do that?
11:39Oh, well, just she has less experience than Kirby.
11:43But you would still give her responsibilities, right?
11:46Right.
11:47Yeah, you wouldn't dream of discriminating against her.
11:49No, not intentionally.
11:51Interesting.
11:53Did you hear that, John?
11:54I think you might actually have something to learn from Marley about treating all employees equally.
11:59Hey, I treat everybody equally.
12:02How detached from reality are you?
12:04Oh, you can't just throw around accusations like that.
12:07I treat all my surf life savers to fame.
12:09Oh, yeah, sure.
12:10If we ignore all the times you've shown clear favouritism.
12:13The only favouritism I show is rewarding respect with a lift back up to the clubhouse.
12:17What?
12:18Hey!
12:24Can you believe that?
12:26Here you go.
12:28I didn't order any taco.
12:30Um, well, there was a mix-up in the order and I didn't want it to go to waste.
12:35I may have mentioned that you haven't had much of an appetite lately.
12:39If I'm hungry, I'll order something.
12:41When they stop making a fuss, that's when you have to worry, mate.
12:49I reckon Rue's going to have a rough time pulling him out of his funk.
12:52I just think we need to be patient.
12:55Oh, Rue!
12:56Where did you get to?
12:57Well, I went over to Bree's house to try and get some kind of explanation from her.
13:02And Remy threw me out of the house.
13:05I thought I made it perfectly clear that having a shot at Bree wasn't going to help her.
13:08I don't understand why everyone's protecting her.
13:10Dad, you almost died.
13:12Do you have to keep reminding me of that every five minutes?
13:14Yeah, right?
13:15I'll go to the hospital and see if I can get something out of them.
13:17Rue, Rue, will you just leave it?
13:20See you at home.
13:24Poor thing.
13:25I mean, he's clearly not himself at the moment.
13:27I hate seeing him like that.
13:29Yeah, I reckon you should probably give him a little bit of space for now.
13:32Um, you know what?
13:35We haven't had a chance to catch up.
13:37How about we have some coffee and you can tell me all about the cruise?
13:42Hey, hey, Mac, Mac.
13:43John!
13:44You're something of a captain of industry, like myself.
13:47Uh, me and my both bosses.
13:49Yeah, definitely.
13:50Can I ask you this?
13:51Would you say I treat all my staff equally?
13:55I guess I would.
13:56Exactly, yes.
13:58Yeah, I already knew that.
13:59I was just double-checking over.
14:01I've come up against an overly sensitive Gen Z recently.
14:04Oh, sounds like there's a story there.
14:06I must press on, though.
14:07I'll see you later?
14:08Yes, yes.
14:09Thank you, thank you.
14:10You've been a great help.
14:11Happy to help.
14:12Molly!
14:13Hey.
14:14Won't you give me $50 not to have this conversation?
14:18Only $50?
14:19No way, man.
14:21But seriously?
14:22Nothing's even happened, so why are we discussing this?
14:25Ah, see?
14:26You're not denying it anymore.
14:29You want to know the truth?
14:31Yes!
14:32I didn't even realise I liked her this much until you brought it up, so thank you.
14:36I'm sorry.
14:39You've got a bad buddy.
14:42What do I do, Mac?
14:47Be brave, be brave
14:50Not only do you live together, but you're a boss, you know, which is a whole other thing.
14:53Yeah, I know.
14:54I'm not an idiot.
14:55No, I didn't say you were.
14:57But even if Abby didn't wear it for me, she's not in the right place for dating anyone.
15:02Oh, I'm so glad you can say that.
15:04No, I really thought this was going to be a much more painful conversation.
15:07Ooh, it still is on my end.
15:09No!
15:11Oh, hey.
15:12Just out of curiosity, did Abby give you any indication that she was into you at all?
15:16Ooh, no, no, no.
15:18We're just friends and I respect that.
15:22You are a seriously nice guy, Molly.
15:26Nice guys always win, right?
15:28No!
15:29Well, anyway, listen.
15:32Abby's recovery will get easier.
15:34And who knows, maybe in a couple of months she might be open to the idea of dating.
15:38Yeah, you're right.
15:41I can wait.
15:45I just hate how Rue's knocked your confidence.
15:48And you were so positive this morning.
15:50Knowing her, she's probably going to kick up a fuss at the hospital
15:53and I will be right back where I started.
15:56I'm OK. I'm OK.
15:58What can I do to help?
16:00I don't know.
16:03Part of me wishes I could just explain it to everybody.
16:07Look, I know your colleagues will judge, but your friends are different.
16:10OK? They want to help.
16:12I can't do it. I'm just not ready.
16:19Hang on, I just remembered.
16:21I'm supposed to catch up with Theo about something.
16:23Wait.
16:24It won't take long. I'll be back as quick as I can.
16:27Hey.
16:30Hey.
16:34Listen, you know that thing that we talked about before?
16:36Here we go.
16:37Well, I am just trying to make sure that what happened to you
16:41doesn't happen to anyone else.
16:43And it would be really good if we could present a united front.
16:48Hi. Do you mind if I come in?
16:50No, sure. Come on in.
16:52See, we're not the kind of people that are rude enough
16:54to throw a guest out of our house.
16:56You weren't exactly in the mood to listen before.
16:58What can we do for you?
17:00Um, you guys don't know the full story about Bree.
17:04She's going through something.
17:06What is she going through?
17:07She'd throttle me for telling you, but you have a right to know.
17:10You both do.
17:12Bree's been diagnosed with a mental health condition.
17:16What's she been diagnosed with?
17:18She'd prefer to keep that private.
17:19So that's why she hasn't been herself lately.
17:22Yeah, and she's not using that as an excuse for what happened, Alf.
17:25Is she getting the help she needs?
17:27She is, yes. She's got a treatment plan, she's managing it all.
17:30I'm sorry, look, if you're not telling us what the diagnosis is,
17:32how do we know that she should still be practising medicine?
17:35All I can say is that the condition itself doesn't stop her being a top doctor.
17:39Well, that's good enough for me.
17:41Um, Bree doesn't know I'm here telling you all this,
17:44so would you mind if we kept this between us?
17:46We won't breathe a word of it, mate.
17:48Appreciate that.
17:49Well, that's all I had to say, so thanks for hearing me out.
17:55Now will you drop it?
17:58Dad, look, I know that mental health issues deserve all of our support and understanding,
18:03but that doesn't mean that Bree shouldn't face consequences for what she did.
18:07Rue, you dragging this up again isn't helping me, it's making it worse.
18:11So for the last time, will you just let it go?
18:14Yeah, OK, I will, Dad.
18:15I will drop it, alright?
18:19It was good. I mean, it was intense.
18:23Did you get everything you wanted out of it?
18:25Yeah, I got the results that I needed.
18:27I would prefer to keep them to myself.
18:29So no more. You home tonight?
18:31I think I'm staying at Ruby's.
18:34It's good to have you back. I'll leave you to it.
18:37See ya.
18:38Hey. Did you sort things with Theo?
18:40Yeah, I did. Thanks.
18:41Well, I'm glad that you're here,
18:42because I started to feel like I was in a shooting range Rue could walk in at any minute.
18:46Anything you need to worry about, huh?
18:48That's wishful thinking.
18:49OK.
18:51You are an amazing doctor.
18:53Your diagnosis does not change that fact.
18:55Now Rue's going to calm down, so why don't we just focus on your recovery?
18:59It helps having you in my corner.
19:01Nowhere I'd rather be.
19:04Honestly, sometimes that man is impossible.
19:06What, only sometimes? What do you do now?
19:09Get this. He point blank refuses to let me drive the buggy.
19:12Even though I have seen him let other lifesavers do it.
19:15Why doesn't he let you?
19:17Well, I'm glad you asked, because I've been thinking about this,
19:19and the only difference I can see is that they're all male, and I'm not.
19:22Well, that doesn't seem fair.
19:25What are you going to do?
19:27I'm going to fight it.
19:37It was lovely of Mr. Stewart to apologize, but I have no idea what is happening at home.
19:42Marilyn is going to be OK.
19:44Well, if they're fighting, then it's my fault.
19:46You did the right thing. At least now they're talking.
19:49Well, yeah, Link. Sorry.
19:57What's the matter?
20:00Who did your wedding and engagement ring?
20:01I don't know. I must have lost them.
20:06Just take a breath before you say something.
20:08Xander, he needs to hear the truth, OK?
20:10I am so sick of these misogynistic, old-fashioned attitudes,
20:14and because, what, it's silly old John Palmer, I'm not supposed to say anything?
20:16No, he's a dinosaur.
20:17I'm going to call him on it.
20:18Just go easy, OK? I know you're angry.
20:20Yeah, I am.
20:22Good, you're here.
20:23I'm busy.
20:24Well, that's too bad, because I need to talk to you.
20:25Well, can it wait? I've got stacks of these...
20:26No, it can't wait.
20:27I think it is grossly unfair that you won't let me drive the buggy,
20:29and I have a right to know the real reason.
20:31You know the real reason.
20:33Stop fobbing me off.
20:34You clearly have an issue with strong, independent women,
20:37but that's discrimination.
20:38I beg your pardon?
20:39And I am not going to be held back by your sexist, antiquated values.
20:42Xander!
20:44You either respect me, and you let me drive the buggy,
20:46or you take me off the roster for good.
20:55I know things have been rough since your mum showed up.
20:57So have you thought about whether you want to talk to her or not?
20:59Just drop it.
21:00Things are finally starting to look good for me.
21:02For once, I have nothing to worry about.
21:07Sorry to just turn up like this.
21:09So this is why you asked about Mum? You wanted to ambush me?
21:11I asked Harper to bring me here.
21:13Just hear her out, please.
21:15Look, I don't want to upset you more than I already have.
21:18Which is why I'm going back to New Zealand.
