00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02You'd think I was a terrible mother or was still no mother at all.
00:05Surely Darcy's are upstepping.
00:06Stop looking for things that aren't there, Carl.
00:08Uh, you should come to our dinner tonight.
00:09Please. It'll be really fun.
00:11I really do want to support you.
00:13Look, I know you're trying to prioritise our relationship,
00:16but I will never trust Chelsea.
00:18You're being really unfair.
00:19Why? Because I don't want to just move to Murrayville.
00:21Seth is not the only victim in this,
00:23and I'm going to do everything in my power
00:24to make sure that the court knows that.
00:25The school's finally bearable again.
00:27What's that smell?
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59I'll be trying to do what it says
01:05I'm studying remotely from now on.
01:07I'm not coming back here. I can't.
01:09Oh, no.
01:11What are you going to do about this?
01:12Well, I will support Nell studying remotely
01:14and I'm also determined to find and punish the culprence.
01:18You know, is it worth looking at other schools?
01:20No.
01:21I'm not doing that.
01:22I just want to stay at home until things settle.
01:25I'll see out the rest of the day, talk to my teachers,
01:28and that is it. I am done.
01:30Hey, do you want to go grab some air?
01:32I'll be okay for the rest of the day. Thanks for coming in.
01:40Are you sure that this is the right thing to do?
01:48I think we should respect Nell's wishes.
01:50I'm going to go and talk to the faculty and get started on the paperwork.
01:58Listen, Gerard, please understand that I never meant to hurt Nell when I went to the police.
02:03I just, I had to clear Leo's name before it was too late.
02:06I would have done the same thing if I was in your position, please.
02:10But what am I going to do now?
02:12Nell was just starting to feel positive again.
02:14How am I going to get her through this?
02:16Hey, hey, hey.
02:18You have a plan.
02:20You're going to try and get the charges dropped.
02:22Well, that's not going to make her feel any better
02:24whilst we wait for the hearing.
02:26Actually, you know what?
02:28I've got an idea.
02:30I think I know somebody who could help.
02:32I'm at capacity for consults throughout the week.
02:36Handball a few to me.
02:38Oh, hey.
02:40You are welcome.
02:42Oh, thank you.
02:43Um, I forgot about this.
02:45If it had sparkled, you would not have seen it for dust.
02:48Finders keepers.
02:50Unless, of course, the find is unappealing.
02:54No offence, Peter.
02:56Uh, something wrong?
03:01Uh, I guess we're just surprised that you left a bracelet in Amanda's studio.
03:06I took it off so I could wash a few dishes for her.
03:09When I walked her back from dinner with Jane?
03:11I mean, is that a crime?
03:13Well, just the fact that you went to that dinner.
03:16You don't want it to look like you're forming an inappropriate relationship.
03:19Am I being judged here?
03:21Because Harold was at your place all the time.
03:24And he was a resident-
03:25Harold is a very old friend of ours.
03:27What is it going to take to win your trust?
03:30Both of you.
03:32I've reached out to others that I hurt.
03:35Tess.
03:36And Dee.
03:37And, you know, at least they gave me an inch.
03:42So now you've had some time to think about it.
03:53Um, I, uh, I can't stop thinking of reasons not to move.
04:01I love my job and I'm due for a promotion, but the major thing for me is Sadie.
04:09I think she really needs her parents right now.
04:12Yeah, but don't underestimate her.
04:14I mean, the way she's handled this trauma and now the recovery.
04:18Sadie's a real force.
04:20No, I agree.
04:21I just think she's, uh, still really fragile.
04:25Is Sadie the real reason that you don't want to move?
04:33Or has your career got something to do with it?
04:35And be honest.
04:36Well, look, if my career was the only factor, I think we'd be having a very different conversation.
04:41I think we really need to put family first.
04:47Team Robwell, right?
04:54Hey, you!
04:55Hey, good to have you back in town.
04:58Um, how's Nell doing?
05:00Yeah, not great.
05:01Actually, that's what I've come to talk to you about.
05:08Thanks.
05:11What's up, buttercup?
05:14I've just been given a relief shift teaching 16-year-old boys P.E.
05:19Oh, hey, that could be fun.
05:21You know, get some fresh air, chuck a ball around, blow a whistle.
05:26Uh, get teased, pranked, farted on.
05:29Okay, that sounds not as fun.
05:33That's not all though, is it?
05:35I've just been given this amazing full-time job in Murrayville and Andrew won't even consider moving.
05:45He says it's about Sadie, but I know that it's about his job.
05:50He thinks his career is more important than mine.
05:53Oh, that is just...
05:57What were you gonna say?
05:58No, I was just gonna trash talk your man, but I resisted the urge.
06:02No, no, no, no, don't. On my account.
06:04Well, who the hell does he think he is?
06:07Okay, how many times have you ironed his uniform, packed his lunches, polished his baton?
06:13How many nights have you sat at home worried about him?
06:17So many.
06:18He changes your moments and he's not giving it to you. He's job-blocking you.
06:24That is exactly what he's doing.
06:25Why should your career be sidelined? Because you're the wife.
06:29The woman!
06:30The woman!
06:31You should grab the bull by the horns, grab your man by whatever makes him squeal the loudest.
06:37And you should...
06:39Oh!
06:41Go.
06:42Get.
06:43It.
06:45Girl!
06:47Yeah, yes!
06:48Yes!
06:50Thanks, Nick.
06:51I needed that.
06:52You're welcome.
06:54Okay, sounds good.
06:55Listen, Toad, when you spoke to Dee yesterday, did she know Darcy had moved back to her husband?
07:03Oh, of course she hasn't spoken to her for years. I knew it.
07:06Okay.
07:07Yeah, it's very interesting.
07:10Mm-hmm. Yeah.
07:11Uh, can I call you back?
07:16Yep.
07:17Is everything okay?
07:19Not really, no.
07:21I'm trying to feed our little guy, but he's just not interested.
07:26You feel how hot he is.
07:28Oh, gosh, yeah.
07:31Uh, well, have you still got any of that paracetamol?
07:33That seems to be worked well last time he had a fever.
07:36Oh, this, this is different.
07:38Oh, Remy, Remy.
07:40Hi.
07:42What's happening?
07:43Could you have a look at Thomas?
07:44He seems to have a high temperature.
07:45He's not feeding.
07:46He's listless.
07:48Yeah.
07:50Hey, little mate.
07:52What's going on with you?
07:54Let's have a look.
07:55Come on.
07:56Uh.
07:57Come on, come on.
07:58Come on.
08:04Come on, come on.
08:06Come on, come on.
08:08Come on.
08:10Is he okay?
08:11Er, I think we should get into hospital.
08:15And what about when she was poo-pooing the trifle
08:24that I went to, there's just so much effort to make for it.
08:27Oh, you prefer a tartar trifle, do you, Mum?
08:29Well, I would prefer a sweeter mother, but here we are.
08:33Mum, hi.
08:35So nice to bump into you.
08:39Would you like to join us for a stroll?
08:41Oh, I don't want to slow you down.
08:44Um, well, it's not like my power walking.
08:47No, you would be very wrong.
08:49I don't want to be a burden.
08:51Oh, Mum, don't be silly.
08:53No, we would really love to spend some time with you.
08:57You don't have to say that.
08:58Oh, for goodness sake, Mum.
09:00I'm telling you that we would like for you to join us.
09:03Please, please just take me at my word.
09:06I can't.
09:08I've got an appointment at the day spa.
09:11See you later.
09:14Typical.
09:16Typical.
09:17Guilting me into begging when she had no intention of coming along.
09:21Seriously, I don't know why I bothered.
09:23And just when you were singing her praises.
09:26Why do I think it was a good idea to stay out the day?
09:36Do you want to go home?
09:38Rude.
09:39I only just got here.
09:39What are you doing here?
09:44Um...
09:44I was feeling nostalgic.
09:47You weren't here?
09:49Yeah.
09:50I was enrolled and I had the uniform.
09:51Okay.
09:54Your dad sent me.
09:56Of course he did.
09:57I think because he knows that I went through something similar.
10:02Okay.
10:02Once upon a time, there was a evil podcasting goblin who set her sights on a beautiful, innocent girl and made her out to be a cold-blooded killer.
10:16Well, that beautiful, innocent girl was me.
10:19Well, you know.
10:20I'm just setting the scene.
10:21I thought that the whole world was talking about Hellfire, Holly.
10:27Watching me, staring at me.
10:30I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
10:34And I basically did.
10:36When you quit your job.
10:40But then a evil hotel tycoon dude who was on a break from villainy got into my ear and told me to own my past and hold my head up high.
10:51The evil hotel tycoon dude's Paul Robinson.
10:54We know.
10:54We know.
10:56But it was surprisingly good advice and so I wanted to pay it forward.
11:01Look, it's really sweet that you're trying to help.
11:05But this is different.
11:06I don't want to hide forever.
11:09Just want some time out, don't you?
11:11Hmm.
11:12Every girl here knows the importance of saying what I want and what I don't want.
11:16And that's what I'm doing right now.
11:19Okay.
11:20I'm not telling you to stay in school.
11:21That's not what this is.
11:24I just wanted to talk to you.
11:27Do you want to start with what happened today?
11:32Do you have any idea who did it?
11:33Because I have a can of hairspray at the ready.
11:40You look amazing for your age.
11:43This is nothing compared to when I was younger.
11:47I used to turn heads.
11:49I bet you did.
11:50I bet you did.
11:52People used to call me, I don't know, vain.
11:56Shallow even.
11:57But I wore it as a badge of honour.
11:59I was proud to be pretty.
12:02And you still should be proud.
12:04I don't know.
12:05Every time I look in the mirror, all I see are wrinkles.
12:08I do my best to keep myself nice, but it's not the same.
12:11I used to feel pretty too.
12:14Before my accident, I was burnt in a fire.
12:19And my body, I'm just not really sure who I am anymore.
12:24Oh, sweetheart.
12:25I know it sounds petty because I should just be grateful to be alive.
12:29And it could have been worse.
12:32But...
12:33It's how you feel.
12:36I understand completely.
12:42Do you still think about how Heath died?
12:48Yeah.
12:49All the time.
12:53It gets easier though.
12:55The nightmares have stopped and I'm not so anxious.
13:00Trauma might have changed my life, but it didn't stop me from living it.
13:05I'm really proud it's that way for you, but...
13:08I can't see myself ever being okay again.
13:14I just wish this never happened.
13:20I'm so sorry, babe.
13:25You can't change the past.
13:30And you can't control what people think of you.
13:32But you can't control what you think of yourself.
13:39If I could give you one piece of advice...
13:41It would be to have compassion for you.
13:44Just like with me and Heath.
13:49This was an accident.
13:51And we're survivors.
13:54This wasn't our fault.
13:55It's like...
13:55It's like a risk.
13:56It's like a risk.
13:56It would be a risk.
13:57It would be a risk.
13:58Thomas' temperature is climbing, and with his weak reflexes, there's a possibility it's listeriosis.
14:20What does that mean?
14:21It's a bacterial infection, but if caught early enough, it should be easily treated with no long-term effects.
14:26And if not?
14:27It can lead to more serious conditions, such as sepsis or meningitis.
14:35How would he have gotten this?
14:37Oh, there's no way to really know, but our focus now is on treatment.
14:40I've ordered tests.
14:41As soon as results come in, we can treat accordingly.
14:44If it's what we think it is, we'll administer high-dose antibiotics, which should stave off the infection within 24 hours.
14:51And then he'll be okay?
14:54There's no way to really know until then.
14:57There's no way to really know.
14:58my best friend in my youth Sarah she never embraced her beauty she was always on the
15:16sidelines I mean always the photographer never the one to pose she was shy no she was shamed
15:24her mother thought the vanity was a sin so she kept chipping away at Sarah's self-confidence
15:30until eventually I flipped and I said mother my looks are nothing to be ashamed of they are my
15:40superpower and from that point forward I never let anybody clip my wings again do you realize
15:48she slipped into first-person pronouns halfway through I suppose you've heard stories about old
15:56Nan Mangle the point of the story is you know life is too damn short to worry about what other people
16:06think embrace your beauty and your scars and all maybe Sarah will embrace her wrinkles in solidarity
16:15maybe hello hello trouble I know I was in the area and I thought if you're ready I might escort you home
16:25oh thank you that would be wonderful I am so lucky to have met so many wonderful people in such a
16:33short time you're not so bad yourself
16:37oh hey I knew it I knew Darcy was lying he's trying to pull the wall over our eyes
16:47right Susan I'm talking to you here this is important
16:50oh sorry sorry sorry I'm reading Agnes's manuscript it's fascinating
16:55I think Darcy's behavior warrants more attention than Agnes's manuscript
16:58Darcy was right we were being unfair we do have personal relationships with the residents
17:03just just let it go hi hello Lily with an apology gift oh I'm sorry that I was so snippy with you

17:28using this time to reconnect with mum but oh it's so difficult oh well you know if you have anything to do
17:33better than all that
17:58Holly was right I shouldn't make my life smaller just because people don't understand it was an
18:08accident and I'm a survivor I'm gonna go to school tomorrow just when I thought I couldn't get any

20:08Scope for advancement.
20:13Okay.
20:18Okay.
20:19Yeah, hi. Just calling about the advertised position.
20:28Yeah, just wanted some additional information on the roll.
20:32Here we go.
20:33Thank you. Tea?
20:35Oh, I wouldn't say no.
20:36Make yourself at home.
20:38Um, this morning, do you realise that you called me Peter?
20:47Did I?
20:50That was your husband's name, wasn't it?
20:52Yes. Yes, he's always on my mind.
20:56Maybe that explains the slip of the tongue.
20:59Um, I miss my Darcy so much.
21:03Oh, look.
21:05I was wondering whether you could help me with some life admin work.
21:10Susan wants my BSB number. Could you find it?
21:13Oh, yeah, absolutely.
21:15Not that there's much of a nest egg there.
21:19Maybe enough for a couple of years here and the odd mani-pedi.
21:22Won't be raining money on my family when I carc it.
21:27Oh.
21:28Oh.
21:52Would you still like me if I'm poor?
21:57Oh.
21:58I like you very much.
22:11Remy's confirmed that it is listeriosis.
22:13The doctors are hoping they've gotten onto it early enough to avoid lifelong repercussions.
22:18Yeah, so the next 24 hours are really critical.
22:21Oh.
22:24Oh, I'm really sorry.
22:25The hospital has a strict policy.
22:27Until he's out of the woods, it's only two visitors at a time.
22:47Coming up on Neighbours.
22:49This Chelsea situation has got to be challenging, right?
22:52Do you want to be the jealous girlfriend?
22:54What's going on?
22:55Maybe it's got something to do with the job hunt.
22:57What are you talking about?
22:58The resort that we were staying at since we had to cut the honeymoon short.
23:02Nothing but the best for my mates.
23:03Yeah, this thing's all.
23:05That's the thing.
23:06We love them.
23:07Yeah.
23:07I want to be the jealous man.
23:08The
