00:02I'm your new landlord.
00:04You have to leave. There's a healthy rent increase.
00:07As soon as he figures out he's got more time, he's not going to spend it on me, Nick or Leo.
00:10I'm back!
00:11Nicolette?
00:12Yeah, you'd rather not cross paths with her at all?
00:14I think I found us a potential investor. Me.
00:17You know, there might be another way to get a version of what we wanted.
00:20We have a very big problem.
00:22I've just realised where we've met. Medical conference, Bearly Head.
00:25Sorry, but that's because I was on the catering staff.
00:27Don't forget that Aaron is still grieving, David.
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
01:19Okay, that one almost killed me.
01:22Really?
01:23Yes.
01:25Dada!
01:27Hey! That's a nice cuddle.
01:30You've been gardening with Nana Jane.
01:32Hey, Isla, this is Dada's friend Logan.
01:35Do you want to say hi?
01:37Hi.
01:39You know, you're a very brave girl, jumping into Dada's arms when it smells after all that exercise.
01:43Oh, come on. I don't smell, do I?
01:47Ew.
01:48Yeah, gross.
01:50Hey!
01:52We come in peace.
01:53And looking for donations.
01:55Yeah, anything you want to give the foundation. Clothes, toys.
01:58Small children.
01:59Are we going to donate you too, Isla?
02:01No.
02:02Actually, I've got some stuff.
02:04It's most of David's stuff I packed up a while ago.
02:08I'll bring it down later.
02:15Haz.
02:16Oh, Sadie, hey.
02:17Whatever you planned tonight, cancel it.
02:18I don't have anything on.
02:19Oh, perfect.
02:20We're having a big night out, so Byron doesn't have to think about his deadbeat dad.
02:23It's a great idea, but it can't happen.
02:25Why not?
02:26Well, since Vera hiked our rent, none of us can afford a big night out.
02:29Plus, on top of all that, I was just having a shower, and the water went stone cold.
02:33So I ran out to check on the hot water system.
02:35It has a huge crack in it.
02:37Oh, ouch.
02:38Yeah, so if you want to do something nice for Byron,
02:40maybe you could help me talk to Vera so he can get it fixed so he can have a hot shower tonight.
02:46Fine.
02:49You said you were going to tell her after we finished our drinks.
02:51I know, I know, and I will.
02:53Just stop stalling.
02:54She deserves to know.
02:55There is so much good product here for the demo event.
02:58You know, I think we should start setting up the space for it now.
03:01No, that's a great idea, but just before we get started on that,
03:03there's a bit of a tricky situation.
03:06Hey, surprise!
03:08We were already traveling when I messaged.
03:11What are you doing here?
03:13Ah, Leo needed help.
03:15So I've come down to work with him and invest in the vineyard.
03:19What?
03:22She's investing in the vineyard too.
03:25Wait, what do you mean too?
03:27I thought you guys were out.
03:29We are very much back in.
03:31Yeah, yeah.
03:33Leo, why didn't you say anything?
03:35I don't know.
03:37Yeah, Leo, why didn't you say anything?
03:46Can I put you down now?
03:48Never.
03:49Never?
03:50I can't carry you forever.
03:51My arms will drop off.
03:54Ah, all these for me.
03:57Ah, yeah, sorry.
04:00It's David's stuff.
04:03Cheers, mate, I really appreciate it.
04:06That's all right.
04:08You sure you want to do this?
04:10Yeah, it's time.
04:23I don't know what the big deal is.
04:25Just wrap some plumber's tape around it and she'll be as good as gold.
04:28The crack is too far gone for that.
04:30The whole system needs replacing.
04:32Fine, if that's what you want, then you pay for it.
04:34Wait, what?
04:36The renter's guide clearly states water is the landlord's responsibility.
04:40I don't take orders from people who aren't on the lease.
04:49It also clearly states it's the tenant's responsibility if it's their fault.
04:55Probably your dog digging around that caused it.
04:57Vera, that is not fair.
04:59I don't make the rules.
05:00But you do have to follow them.
05:01Trevor didn't bite through a metal pipe.
05:03It's normal wear and tear.
05:04That means it's on you to replace it.
05:06Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is getting awfully stressful.
05:09I might have to relax by the pool.
05:12And if someone can give my tootsies a bit of TLC,
05:16it might clear my head to help you out.
05:20I'll just go and make myself comfortable while you think it over.
05:27You seriously can't be thinking about agreeing to any of this, right?
05:30You're the beauty expert. Maybe you could...
05:32Absolutely not.
05:35It's just that last time we stood up for ourselves, we copped a rent increase.
05:38So maybe it's easier to just bite the bullet.
05:41Well, what happens next time when something else goes wrong?
05:45A pina colada wouldn't go astray either.
05:50Walk me through it.
05:51How do I give someone a pedicure?
06:01Hey!
06:14What do you reckon, huh?
06:16Uh, how do I put this nicely?
06:18It's heinous?
06:19Come on.
06:20You clearly know nothing about fashion then.
06:22Okay.
06:23Isla, you tell Dad it's bad, right?
06:26Yeah.
06:27Yeah.
06:28What?!
06:29No!
06:30Wow, the fashion police are out in full force today.
06:33Can I have this one, Mum?
06:35Oh, honey, that's so sweet.
06:38I don't have any cash on me, though.
06:40Listen, how about we come back later and we can come and get it, yeah?
06:43I can get it for her.
06:45No, no, no, that's all right, Logan.
06:47It's fine, let me get it.
06:48That way Isla won't miss out if someone else buys it for you back.
06:50Logan, thank you, but you really don't have to do that.
06:52It would be my pleasure.
06:54Thank you.
06:55I'll be two seconds.
06:56Thank you.
06:57I'll be two seconds.
06:58Hi.
06:59Hi.
07:00For that, keep the change.
07:01Cool.
07:02Thank you.
07:03There you go.
07:04All yours.
07:05Well, until you give it to Nana Jane.
07:07That's all right.
07:09Thanks again.
07:10That was so kind of you.
07:11Yeah, well, watch out, I'll be solving world peace next.
07:20Did the walk call you off?
07:22Barely.
07:23You could have warned me you guys were coming.
07:25You could have told me Kiri was here.
07:27Look, can we talk about what's more important here?
07:29You didn't tell us that you were looking at other offers.
07:31Yeah, well, I wasn't.
07:32And I don't owe you an explanation.
07:34Vic's the one who pulled out of our deal.
07:36Look, we've got someone else we'd like to propose.
07:37Sorry to interrupt.
07:39I just wanted to say that Mac's bringing the car around.
07:41I'm going to be crashing at your place tonight, if that's okay.
07:45It'll just be for a night.
07:46For all I know, I could be heading back to Maggie Island tomorrow.
07:49No, no, Kiri, please don't bail, okay?
07:51They've just sprung this on me as well.
07:52Can we just talk about it later, please?
07:56Sure.
08:01If you want to talk about it with her, does that mean you don't want to talk about it with us?
08:11You're doing such a good job, Haz.
08:14You know, I chose this colour because I'm thinking about getting an ankle tattoo.
08:19Did you know I'm a swifty?
08:22She is outrageous.
08:25Right, game on.
08:26Wait.
08:28Haz is worried about getting Vera offside.
08:31I don't want to live in fear anymore.
08:36Okay, stop the pedicure.
08:38What?
08:39He's only done one coat.
08:40What, there's more than one?
08:41Haz, hands off that foot.
08:43Yeah, okay.
08:44Vera, a faulty hot water system is the landlord's responsibility, so I will say this just once.
08:50Can you please replace the system at your earliest convenience?
08:54Sure.
08:56When you prove it's warranty.
09:00Fine.
09:01I'll give you a choice.
09:03Either organise a new system for us now,
09:08or I will get the most out of you.
09:14Expensive plumbing.
09:16To install the most expensive hot water system you can buy.
09:21And then, I will put in a call to my friend at VCAT,
09:26and the tribunal will decide who gets to pay for it.
09:31What do you say, Vera?
09:33Willing to take the risk?
09:36We know it's not as much as Dad offered, but it's the most we can do.
09:40We took the 40k that Vic left us and used it as a deposit for a business loan.
09:44And Mum signed on as guarantor so we could get it over the line.
09:47We want to be part of Yirrkobi, just without Vic.
09:52Well, what you're offering, it's a similar amount to Kerry.
09:58With this offer, you would get...
10:00With this offer, you would get...
10:02the two of us.
10:03So if you chose our offer over Kerry's,
10:05you would get double the people, double the strength.
10:12What if I didn't have to choose?
10:15What do you mean?
10:16What if I took Kerry's offer as well?
10:18What, as in a four-way partnership?
10:21Yeah, I mean, the bigger the investment, the better chances of survival.
10:26I mean, the bigger the investment, the better chances of survival.
10:30And that way, this place could still be a legacy for Abby and Isla.
10:36Do you reckon you could co-exist as a business owner with Kerry?
10:39Yeah, yeah, of course.
10:42I don't have a problem with her.
10:44She's the one that hates me.
10:46So if Kerry's in, you're in?
10:49I would be open to it.
10:53You don't seem so sure.
10:56Look, Leo, we want this, OK?
10:58Both of us do, and we'll do whatever it takes to make that work, right?
11:02Yes. Yeah, we're in. Whatever you need.
11:06Alright, well, I'll talk to Kerry and I'll see what she thinks.
11:16I heard what happened outside.
11:18Matt didn't mention that you're a beauty therapist.
11:20The only thing I am is scarred.
11:22From now on, coffee is my only service.
11:24You know that coffee foot scrubs are a thing though, right?
11:27Oh no, Kerry!
11:28It's nice to finally meet you. You're just as cool as Matt said.
11:31Oh, she said so much about you too.
11:33OK, so I have changed the sheets, put out a fresh towel, so you are all good to go.
11:38Hey, thank you for letting me stay in your bed.
11:40That's fine, I'll be sharing with Haz.
11:43I, um, I just don't know if I should be staying.
11:46What? Why?
11:48With Byron making an offer and me doing the same, I don't know, it could be awkward.
11:53Or is it more about being around Nicolette?
11:57She's right across the street.
11:59Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're right.
12:01She's basically the reason you left town last time and now she's making you rethink investing in the vineyard.
12:08It's only fair that you let her dictate your life again.
12:15Alright, well played.
12:17Did it work?
12:18Did it work?
12:21I will stay until I speak with Leo.
12:23You can stay for as long as you want.
12:30There you go.
12:31And there you go.
12:33I think I might have to ask Rodders to help out more often, yeah?
12:36Well, not to brag, but I did score the most donations he's ever had in one day.
12:41Wow, nice work.
12:43Yeah, but I think it's just more because people are scared of you because you're a cop and all that, you know?
12:47No, I think it was to do with the rock ball charm.
12:49What's that?
12:50Ah, talking about charming.
12:52Saw you and Logan getting on really well.
12:55Wait, what do you mean by that?
12:58Oh, I just sensed a vibe.
13:01Okay, well, there's nothing going on.
13:04I don't know why you would think that.
13:06Yeah, look, sorry mate, I didn't mean anything like that.
13:08No, it's obviously way too soon for me to be seeing anyone, so it's just not something that I would do.
13:13Yes, of course.
13:15We both noticed that you guys were just getting along, and that's cool, mate.
13:19It's good to have friends.
13:20Yeah.
13:24Listen, actually, I was thinking I shouldn't have given David's clothes away.
13:29Aaron, seriously.
13:30No, it's got nothing to do with that.
13:32I just realised that I made a mistake.
13:33Can I please have the clothes back?
13:36Yeah, I'll get them on the way home and you can pick them up after work.
13:39Alright, thanks.
13:46Well, if I could take both of their offers and have all three of them working for me, it would revive the business for sure.
13:52The only thing standing in the way of it is that messiest breakup in history.
13:56Yeah, look, that breakup was unfortunate.
13:58What, unfortunate? Nick basically tried to seduce Kiri's pastor.
14:03What? Is that what happened?
14:05Yeah, I only got cliff notes, but apparently Nick was so jealous of Kiri and Sasha's friendship that she tried to tempt him herself.
14:12Wow, how very garden of Eden.
14:15Anyhow, it's been a while so maybe they've both moved on.
14:20I don't know. Still look pretty fresh today.
14:24They may have just been surprised to see each other.
14:27From what you've said, Kiri and Nicolette are both keen to invest.
14:32I guess the big question is whether you can survive without their investment.
14:38Look, if Kiri goes for it, it will be difficult.
14:42But as long as you go in with your eyes open, it could be the solution that you need.
14:52Alright, the hot water is back. Thank the gods.
14:55Thank you, Vera, for organising such a quick fix.
15:00Well, I'm just warning you, I can't afford anything else going wrong.
15:05So, from now on, you're on your own.
15:08Uh, Vera, I don't think you can do...
15:10Well, maybe we can organise a different arrangement.
15:14Like what?
15:15Like, you can use the pool. Once a month.
15:20Once a day?
15:22Once every fortnight.
15:24Once a week and I won't use your towels.
15:27But you've been using our towels.
15:28Oh, once or twice.
15:30Oh, okay.
15:33Once every fortnight, you don't use our towels and you can have dinner with us once a month.
15:44Deal.
15:45It's a pleasure doing business with you.
15:47I'll bring dessert.
15:48Okay, bye Vera.
15:50Hoo-roo!
15:51Hoo-roo, yep.
15:56What was that about?
15:57Yeah, you, out of all of us, were the one who didn't want to deal with her.
16:00Well, I know, but I heard how well things went at Irene Rising with the residents and the students
16:06and it got me thinking that Vera might be a little lonely.
16:10What, so now you want us to be friends with her?
16:14If we give her an inch, maybe she won't take a mile.
16:18So that's the situation. I need all three of you.
16:21Are you sure that Nicola is someone you want to be in business with?
16:24Yes, I am.
16:26Really, Leo? Because it's not just me, she's done questionable things to a number of people.
16:31I get she's a spitfire and she goes for it, but look, that can be an asset if we keep her in check.
16:38And with her and Byron both invested, it means there'll be less risk.
16:41Also less reward.
16:43Four people managing the place, we can be bigger and better.
16:49I don't want to force you into doing something you might regret, okay?
16:51I don't want to force you into doing something you might regret, okay?
16:53So I've come up with a solution.
16:55What's that?
16:57A trial period.
16:59We see if we all gel as a team and if it doesn't work out, you can walk away.
17:03No strings.
17:06I mean, I was looking forward to teaming up with you.
17:09Yeah, and I don't want to do it without you.
17:13Okay, okay, fine. For you, I'll give it a shot.
17:22Aaron's here.
17:24Hey.
17:27I'm really sorry. I went to go and grab David's clothes and someone has already snapped them all up.
17:33All of it?
17:34Yeah, well, I mean, it's good quality stuff, so I'm guessing someone just bought it as a job lot.
17:39Okay, well, is there any way that I can track this person down?
17:42The foundation's cash only. We wouldn't be able to trace them.
17:47I'm really sorry, mate.
17:48I'm really sorry, mate.
17:50That's fine. I'll leave you guys to your dinner.
17:53Yeah, hey Aaron.
17:55Hey.
17:58Look, about what happened before, you know, when we were talking about Logan.
18:01Yeah, like I said already, there's nothing going on there, so...
18:04Okay, but however you do feel about Logan is fine.
18:10You don't have to feel guilty about enjoying someone else's company, mate, regardless of wherever it goes.
18:18You do deserve to feel good and happy.
18:23And if you do, that is not betraying David.
18:28Okay, thanks.
18:38Well, I'd better get to bed. I've got a big day tomorrow with this product demo and hardly any staff to run it.
18:44Oh, we could help if you want.
18:47Wait, seriously?
18:49Yeah, anything to make your life easier.
18:52Oh, hey Nick.
18:54Hey, is Kiri here?
18:56Um, it's okay, Haz. I'm in here.
19:03Hey, Nick.
19:04Hey.
19:07Leo told me that you're open to being co-partners in the vineyard.
19:10I'm open to a trial.
19:12I'm open to a trial.
19:14So you're not going to be a problem?
19:16Why would I be a problem? You're the one that likes to blow things up.
19:19All I'm saying is that if we're serious about the business, we're going to have to give each other the benefit of the doubt. Can you do that?
19:25Yeah. We also need to be able to work together without one of us being a complete loose cannon. Can you do that?
19:29Not a problem.
19:30Perfect.
19:31Fine.
19:32Great.
19:33See you at work tomorrow.
19:35I just wanted to say thanks for everything you said last night. I needed to hear that.
19:42Because the truth is I am getting along with Logan and it feels bad doing that to David.
19:47That's the only reason that I wanted those clothes back.
19:53I ain't feeling better now, mate.
19:56I mean, it's tough letting go, but it has to be done.
20:00I mean, it's tough letting go, but it has to be done.
20:16I just want nothing more than to be out in the world building new relationships, whether they're romantic or not.
20:23Have you felt that way about Logan?
20:25Have you felt that way about Logan?
20:27Oh, I'm not sure.
20:34You know, not to put any pressure on him, I'm just saying, you know, if it feels right.
20:39He's a good friend and he's fun.
20:47He's great with Isla and I know this might sound really strange, but he feels safe.
20:56Like, in some weird way, he actually gets what I'm going through.
21:09Coming up on Neighbours.
21:11You've been here for two minutes. You're already telling me how to behave.
21:14I am not.
21:19You know what? I think I'm going to go.
21:22You only ever meet someone like David once in a lifetime.
21:25Are you talking about Logan?
21:27Yeah, we're beginning to think all you see is not all you get with that guy.
