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.
07:55That's all.
07:56Remy.
07:58Is he okay?
07:59Eh?
08:00I think we should get into hospital.
08:01Mommy? Is he okay? Uh, I think we should get into hospital.
08:21And what about when she was poo-pooing the trifle that I went to? There's just so much effort to make for her.
08:27Oh, you prefer a tartar trifle, do you, Mum? Well, I would prefer a sweeter mother, but here we are.
08:34Mum, hi. So nice to bump into you. Would you like to join us for a stroll?
08:42Oh, I don't want to slow you down.
08:45Well, it's not like my power walking. No, you would be very rockin'.
08:50I don't want to be a burden.
08:51Oh, Mum. Don't be silly. No, we would really love to spend some time with you.
08:57You don't have to say that.
08:59Oh, for goodness sake, Mum. I'm telling you that we would like for you to join us. Please.
09:05Please just take me at my word.
09:07I can't. I've got an appointment at the day spa.
09:11See you later.
09:15Typical. Typical. Guilting me into begging when she had no intention of coming along.
09:22Seriously, I don't know why I bothered.
09:24And just when you were singing her praises.
09:27Why do I think it was a good idea to stay out the day?
09:36Do you want to go home?
09:38Rude. I only just got here.
09:41What are you doing here?
09:43Um, I was feeling nostalgic.
09:48You weren't here?
09:49Yeah. I was enrolled and I had the uniform.
09:52Okay. Your dad sent me.
09:56Of course he did.
09:58I think because he knows that I went through something similar.
10:02Okay.
10:04Um.
10:06Once 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.
10:17That beautiful innocent girl was me.
10:19We know.
10:21I'm just setting the scene.
10:23I thought that the whole world was talking about Hellfire Holly.
10:27Watching me.
10:29Staring at me.
10:31I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
10:34And I basically did.
10:36When you quit your job.
10:37But 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.
10:55We know.
10:57But it was surprisingly good advice and so I wanted to pay it forward.
11:02Look.
11:03It's really sweet that you're trying to help.
11:05But this is different and I don't want to hide forever.
11:09Just want some time out then.
11:11Hmm.
11:13Every girl here knows the importance of saying what I want and what I don't want.
11:17And that's what I'm doing right now.
11:19Okay.
11:21I'm not telling you to stay in school.
11:22That'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?
11:34Because I have a can of hairspray at the ready.
11:40You look amazing for your age.
11:45This is nothing compared to when I was younger.
11:47I used to turn heads.
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.
12:00I was proud to be pretty.
12:03And you still should be proud.
12:05I don't know, every time I look in the mirror all I see are wrinkles.
12:09I do my best to keep myself nice but it's not the same.
12:13I used to feel pretty too.
12:15Before my accident.
12:17I was burnt in a fire.
12:19And my body...
12:22I'm just not really sure who I am anymore.
12:25Oh sweetheart.
12:26I know it sounds petty because I should just be grateful to be alive.
12:30And it could have been worse.
12:32But...
12:33It's how you feel.
12:34It's how you feel.
12:37I understand completely.
12:42Do you still think about how Heath died?
12:44Yeah.
12:45Yeah.
12:46All the time.
12:54It gets easier though.
12:56The 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.
13:03I'm really proud it's that way for you but I can't see myself ever being okay again.
13:12I just wish this never happened.
13:15I'm so sorry babe.
13:16You can't change the past.
13:17And you can't control what people think of you.
13:30And you can't control what people think of you.
13:35But you can control what you think of yourself.
13:39If I could give you one piece of advice.
13:42It would be to have compassion for you.
13:46Just like with me and Heath.
13:49This was an accident.
13:52And we're survivors.
13:54This wasn't our fault.
13:55Thomas's 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.
14:27And if not?
14:28It can lead to more serious conditions such as sepsis or meningitis.
14:35How would he have gotten this?
14:37There's no way to really know but our focus now is on treatment.
14:41I've ordered tests.
14:42As soon as results come in we can treat accordingly.
14:45If 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?
14:55There's no way to really know until then.
14:56My best friend in my youth Sarah. She never embraced her beauty. She was always on the sidelines. I mean always the photographer. Never the one to pose.
15:05Did she wish I?
15:06No. She was shamed.
15:07Her mother thought that vanity was a sin. So she kept chipping away at Sarah's self-confidence until eventually I flipped.
15:09And I said mother, my looks are nothing to do.
15:10My looks are nothing to do.
15:11My best friend in my youth Sarah. She never embraced her beauty. She was always on the sidelines. I mean always the photographer. Never the one to pose.
15:20Did she wish I?
15:21No. She was shamed. Her mother thought that vanity was a sin. So she kept chipping away at Sarah's self-confidence until eventually I flipped. And I said mother, my looks are nothing to be ashamed of. They are my superpower. And from that point forward I never let anybody clip my wings again.
15:47Do you realize she slipped into first person pronouns halfway through?
15:52I suppose you've heard stories about old Nan Mangle. The point of the story is you know life is too damn short to worry about what other people think. Embrace your beauty and your scars and all. Maybe Sarah will embrace her wrinkles in solidarity.
16:16Maybe. Maybe.
16:18Hello. 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 short time.
16:35You're not so bad yourself.
16:41Oh, hey. I knew it. I knew Darcy was lying. He's trying to pull the wool over her eyes.
16:47Right.
16:49Susan, I'm talking to you here. This is important.
16:51Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm reading Agnes' manuscript. It's fascinating.
16:55I think Darcy's behaviour warrants more attention than Agnes' manuscript.
16:58Darcy was right. We were being unfair. We do have personal relationships with the residents. Just, just let it go.
17:05Hi. Hello.
17:07Hello, Lily. With an apology gift.
17:10Oh, I'm sorry that I was so snippy with you about my mother. She just gets all so riled up.
17:17Oh, no need for apologies. I do understand how difficult family dynamics can be.
17:22Shall we go outside and have a glass of that?
17:24Oh, sure. I mean, I know I should be using this time to reconnect with my mum, but oh, it's so difficult.
17:32Well, you know, if you have anything to do better than you will.
17:35Jesus.
17:36Holy was right. I shouldn't make my life smaller just because people don't understand.
18:05It was an accident and I'm a survivor. I'm going to go to school tomorrow.
18:12Just when I thought I couldn't get any prouder of you.
18:16Paul, hi.
18:21What?
18:26Okay, I'll be there soon.
18:31That was Paul. Thomas is in hospital.
18:35Yeah, just following up about my CV.
18:39Yeah, I was after, well, I was really keen on something that was local, preferably long term.
18:47Yeah.
18:48No, I understand.
18:49Yeah, thanks anyway.
18:54Thanks anyway.
18:55Yeah.
19:03Oh, no.
19:33Okay, position's vacant, location.
20:02Um, okay.
20:05Great working conditions, yeah.
20:08Scope for advancement.
20:11Okay.
20:14Okay.
20:19Yeah, hi.
20:24Just calling about the advertised position.
20:27Yeah, just wanted some additional information on the role.
20:31Here we go.
20:33Tea?
20:34Oh, I wouldn't say no.
20:35Oh, make yourself at home.
20:40Um, this morning, do you realise that you called me Peter?
20:46Did I?
20:47Hmm.
20:48That was your husband's name, wasn't it?
20:52Yes.
20:53Yes, he's always on my mind.
20:55Maybe that explains the slip of the tongue.
20:59I miss my Darcy so much.
21:02Oh, look.
21:04I was wondering whether you could help me with some life admin work.
21:08Susan wants my BSB number.
21:11Could you find it?
21:12Oh, yeah, absolutely.
21:14Not that there's much of a nest egg there.
21:17That's right.
21:18Maybe enough for a couple of years here and the odd mani-pedi.
21:23Won't be raining money on my family when I cark it.
21:26Oh.
21:27Oh.
21:28Would you still like me if I'm poor?
21:56Oh.
21:57Oh.
21:58I like you very much.
22:10Remy's confirmed that it is listeriosis.
22:13The doctors are hoping they've gotten onto it early enough to avoid life-long repercussions.
22:18Yeah, so the next 24 hours are really critical.
22:21Oh.
22:22Oh, I'm really sorry.
22:25The hospital has a strict policy.
22:26Until he's out of the woods, it's only two visitors at a time.
22:32Coming up on Neighbours.
22:33This Chelsea situation has got to be challenging, right?
22:35I don't want to be the jealous girlfriend.
22:36What's going on?
22:37Maybe it's got something to do with the job hunt.
22:39Where?
22:40What are you talking about?
22:41The resort that we were staying at sends a gift voucher since we have to cut the honeymoon
22:46short.
22:47Nothing but the best for my mates.
22:48Yeah, nothing but the best for my mates.
22:49Yeah, this thing's all.
22:50Yeah, this thing's all.
22:51Yeah, this thing's all.
22:52What's going on.
22:53What's going on?
22:54What's going on?
22:55Maybe it's got something to do with the job hunt.
22:56Where?
22:57What are you talking about?
22:58The resort that we were staying at sends a gift voucher since we have to cut the honeymoon
23:01short.
23:02Nothing but the best for my mates.
23:03Isn't that lovely?
23:04Yeah, this thing's all.
