00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I'm your new landlord.
00:04You have to leave.
00:05There'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 and Nicola 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, belly 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
00:43You can find the perfect blend
00:49Neighbours
00:52Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:59Become good friends
01:19Okay, that one almost killed me.
01:22Really?
01:23Yes.
01:24I was just getting started.
01:26Dada!
01:27Hey!
01:28That'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 he smells after all that exercise.
01:43Oh, come on.
01:45I don't smell, do I?
01:47Ew.
01:48Yeah, gross!
01:50Hey!
01:51Hey, I'm Nacho. We come in peace.
01:53And looking for donations.
01:55Yeah, anything you want to give the foundation. Clothes, toys.
01:58Small children.
01:59Oh, we're going to donate you too, Isla.
02:01No!
02:02No!
02:03Actually, I've got some stuff.
02:04It's most of David's stuff I packed up a while ago.
02:07I'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.
02:47Fine.
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. She 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 travelling when I messaged.
03:17What are you doing here?
03:20Leo needed help, so I've come down to work with him and invest in the vineyard.
03:25What?
03:28She's investing in the vineyard too.
03:31Wait, what do you mean too? I thought you guys were out.
03:34We are very much back in.
03:36Yeah, yeah.
03:38Leo, why didn't you say anything?
03:47Can I put you down now?
03:48Never.
03:49Never? I can't carry you forever. My arms will drop off.
03:55Ah, all these for me.
03:58Ah, yeah, sorry.
04:00It's David's stuff.
04:03Cheers, mate. I really appreciate it.
04:07That's all right.
04:09Are you sure you want to do this?
04:11Yeah, it's time.
04:18Oh.
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?
04:35Mm-hmm.
04:36Renter's Guide clearly states water is the landlord's responsibility.
04:40I don't take orders from people who aren't on the lease.
04:48Mm-hmm.
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. That means it's on you to replace it.
05:06Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:07This 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?
06:16What do you reckon, huh?
06:18Uh, how do I put this nicely?
06:20It's heinous?
06:21Come on.
06:22You clearly know nothing about fashion, then.
06:24Okay.
06:25Isla, you tell Dad it's bad, right?
06:28Yeah.
06:29What?
06:30No.
06:31Wow, the fashion police are out in full force today.
06:34Can I have this one, Dad?
06:37Oh, honey, that's so sweet.
06:39I don't have any cash on me, though.
06:41Listen, how about we come back later and we can come and get it, yeah?
06:44I can get it for her.
06:45No, no, no.
06:46That's all right, Logan.
06:47It's fine.
06:48Let me get it.
06:49That way Isla won't miss out if someone else buys it before you're back.
06:51Logan, thank you, but you really don't have to do that.
06:53It would be my pleasure.
06:55Thank you.
06:56I'll be two seconds.
06:57Hi.
06:58Hi.
06:59For that, keep the change.
07:00Cool.
07:01Thank you.
07:02There you go.
07:03All yours.
07:04Well, until you give it to Nana Jane.
07:06That's all right.
07:08Thanks again.
07:09That was so kind of you.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Well, watch out.
07:12I'll be solving world peace next.
07:14Did the walk call you off?
07:16Barely.
07:17You could have warned me you guys were coming.
07:19You could have told me Kiri was here.
07:21Look, can we talk about what's more important here?
07:23You didn't tell us that you were looking at other offers.
07:25Yeah, but I wasn't.
07:26And I don't owe you an explanation.
07:28Vic's the one who pulled out of our deal.
07:30Look, we've got someone else we'd like to propose.
07:32Sorry to interrupt.
07:33I just wanted to say that Mac's bringing the car around.
07:35I'm going to be crashing at your place tonight.
07:37No, no, no.
07:38I'm not going to do that.
07:39I'm not going to do that.
07:40Mac's bringing the car around.
07:41I'm going to be crashing at your place tonight.
07:43If that's OK.
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.
07:50Kiri, please don't bail.
07:51OK?
07:52They've just sprung this on me as well.
07:53Can we just talk about it later, please?
07:56Sure.
08:01If you want to talk about it with her,
08:02does 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.
08:20Did you know I'm a swifty?
08:22She is outrageous.
08:25Right, game on.
08:27Wait.
08:29Haz is worried about getting Vera offside.
08:31I don't want to live in fear anymore.
08:37OK, stop the pedicure.
08:38What?
08:39He's only done one coat.
08:41What, there's more than one?
08:42Haz, hands off that foot.
08:44Yeah, OK.
08:47Vera, a faulty hot water system is the landlord's responsibility,
08:51so I will say this just once.
08:53Can you please replace the system at your earliest convenience?
08:57Sure.
08:59When you prove it's warranty.
09:03Fine.
09:04I'll give you a choice.
09:06Either organise a new system for us now,
09:10or I will get the most expensive plumber
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?
09:36Yeah.
09:43We know it's not as much as Dad offered, but it's the most we can do.
09:46We took the 40K that Vic left us
09:48and used it as a deposit for a business loan.
09:50And Mum signed on as guarantor so we could get it over the line.
09:53We want to be part of Yirra Kobe, just without Vic.
09:58Well, what you're offering, it's a similar amount to Kerry.
10:03With this offer, you would get the two of us.
10:06So if you chose our offer over Kerry's,
10:08you would get double the people, double the strength.
10:15What if I didn't have to choose?
10:18What do you mean?
10:20What if I took Kerry's offer as well?
10:22What, as in a four-way partnership?
10:25Yeah, I 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-access this business I'm in 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, Nick?
11:02Yes. Yeah, we're in. Whatever you need.
11:06All right, well, I'll talk to Kerry and I'll see what she thinks.
11:16I heard what happened outside.
11:18Max 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! It's nice to finally meet you.
11:30You're just as cool as Max said.
11:32Oh, she said so much about you two.
11:34OK, so I have changed the sheets, put out a fresh towel,
11:37so you are all good to go.
11:39Hey, thank you for letting me stay in your bed.
11:41That's fine, I'll be sharing with Hans.
11:43I, um, I just don't know if I should be staying.
11:47What? Why?
11:49With Byron making an offer and me doing the same.
11:51I don't know, it could be awkward.
11:54Or is it more about being around Nicolette?
11:58She's right across the street.
12:00Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're right.
12:02She's basically the reason you left town last time
12:06and now she's making you rethink investing in the vineyard.
12:09It's only fair that you let her dictate your life again.
12:16All right, well played.
12:18Did it work?
12:21I will stay until I speak with Leo.
12:24You can stay for as long as you want.
12:28Yeah.
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.
12:42Wow, nice work.
12:43Yeah, but I think it's just more because people are scared of you
12:45because you're a cop and all that, you know?
12:47No, I think it was to do with the Rob Paul charm.
12:49What's that?
12:50Ah, talking about charming.
12:52Saw you and Logan getting on really well.
12:56What 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 any of that.
13:08No, it's obviously way too soon for me to be seeing anyone,
13:10so it's just not something that I would do.
13:13Yes, of course.
13:15We both noticed that you guys were just getting along,
13:18and that's cool, mate.
13:19It's good to have friends.
13:21Yeah.
13:23Listen, actually,
13:25I was thinking I shouldn't have given David's clothes away.
13:28Aaron, seriously, I...
13:30No, it's got nothing to do with that.
13:32I just realised that I made a mistake.
13:34Can I please have the clothes back?
13:36Yeah, yeah, I'll get them on the way home,
13:38and you can pick them up after work.
13:40Right, thanks.
13:46Well, if I could take both of their offers
13:48and have all three of them working for me,
13:50it would revive the business for sure.
13:52The only thing standing in the way of it
13:54is that messiest break-up in history.
13:56Yeah, look, that break-up was unfortunate.
13:59What, unfortunate?
14:00Nick basically tried to seduce Kiri's pastor.
14:03What?
14:04Is that what happened?
14:05Yeah, I only got Cliff notes,
14:07but apparently Nick was so jealous of Kiri and Sasha's friendship
14:10that she tried to tempt him herself.
14:12Wow, how very garden of Eden.
14:16Anyhow, it's been a while,
14:18so maybe they've both moved on.
14:20Mm, I don't know.
14:21Still look pretty fresh today.
14:24They may have just been surprised to see each other.
14:27From what you've said,
14:29Kiri and Nicolette are both keen to invest.
14:32I guess the big question is
14:34whether 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,
14:44it could be the solution that you need.
14:49BIRDS CHIRP
14:52All right, the hot water is back.
14:54Thank the gods.
14:55Thank you, Vera, for organising such a quick fix.
15:00Well, I'm just warning you,
15:02I 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...
15:17you 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, OK.
15:32Uh, once every fortnight, you don't use our towels
15:36and you can have dinner with us once a month.
15:40Deal.
15:41It's a pleasure doing business with you.
15:43I'll bring dessert.
15:45OK, bye, Vera.
15:46Hoorah!
15:47Hoorah, yep.
15:52What was that about?
15:53Yeah, you, out of all of us,
15:55were the one who didn't want to deal with her.
15:57Well, I know,
15:58but I heard how well things went at Irene Rising
16:01with the residents and the students
16:03and it got me thinking that...
16:05Vera might be a little lonely.
16:07What, so now you want us to be friends with her?
16:10If we give her an inch, maybe she won't take a mile.
16:15So there's the situation.
16:16I need all three of you.
16:18Are you sure that Nicolette's someone you want to be in business with?
16:22Yes.
16:23Yeah, I am.
16:24Really, Leo?
16:25Because it's not just me.
16:27She's done questionable things to a number of people.
16:29I get she's a spitfire
16:31and she doesn't want to be in your business.
16:33I get she's a spitfire and she goes for it.
16:36But, look, that can be an asset if we keep her in check.
16:40And with her and Byron both invested,
16:42it means there'll be less risk.
16:43Also less reward.
16:45With four people managing the place,
16:47we can be bigger and better.
16:51I don't want to force you into doing something you might regret, OK?
16:54So I've come up with a solution.
16:56What's that?
16:57A trial period.
16:59We see if we all gel as a team
17:01and 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.
17:13OK.
17:14OK, fine.
17:15For you, I'll give it a shot.
17:23Aaron's here.
17:25Hey.
17:28I'm really sorry.
17:29I went to go and grab David's clothes and someone has already snapped them all up.
17:33All of it?
17:35Yeah, well, I mean, it's good quality stuff,
17:36so I'm guessing someone just bought it as a job lot.
17:40OK, well, is there any way that I can track this person down?
17:43The foundation's cash only.
17:45We wouldn't be able to trace them.
17:48I'm really sorry, mate.
17:50That's fine.
17:52I'll leave you guys to your dinner.
17:53Yeah, hey, Aaron.
17:55Hey.
17:56Hey.
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...
18:04OK.
18:06But however you do feel about Logan is fine.
18:10You don't have to feel guilty about enjoying someone else's company, mate,
18:15regardless of wherever it goes.
18:18You do deserve to feel good and happy.
18:23And if you do, that is not betraying David.
18:27OK.
18:29Thanks.
18:38Ah, well, I'd better get to bed.
18:40I've got a big day tomorrow with this product demo and hardly any staff to run it.
18:47Oh, we could help if you want.
18:50Wait, seriously?
18:51Yeah, anything to make your life easier.
18:53Oh, hey, Nick.
18:55Hey, is Kiri here?
18:57Um...
18:58It's OK, Haz.
19:00I'm in here.
19:04Hey, Nick.
19:05Hey.
19:07Ah, Leo told me that you're open to being co-partners in the vineyard.
19:11I'm open to a trial.
19:13So you're not going to be a problem?
19:15Why would I be a problem?
19:16You're the one that likes to blow things up.
19:18All I'm saying is that if we're serious about the business,
19:21we're going to have to give each other the benefit of the doubt.
19:23Can you do that?
19:24Yeah.
19:25We also need to be able to work together without one of us being a complete loose cannon.
19:28Can you do that?
19:29Not a problem.
19:30Perfect.
19:31Fine.
19:32Great.
19:33See you at work tomorrow.
19:40I just wanted to say thanks for everything you said last night.
19:43I needed to hear that.
19:46Because the truth is, I am getting along with Logan
19:50and it feels bad doing that to David.
19:52That's the only reason that I wanted those clothes back.
19:57How are you feeling about it now, mate?
20:01It's tough letting go, but it has to be done.
20:04It has to be done.
20:18I just want nothing more than to be out in the world building new relationships,
20:22whether they're romantic or not.
20:25Have you felt that way about Logan?
20:28I'm not sure.
20:34You know, not to put any pressure on him.
20:36I'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.
20:49And I know this might sound really strange, but he feels safe.
20:54Like, in some weird way, he actually gets what I'm going through.
21:08Coming up on Neighbours.
21:10You've been here for two minutes.
21:11You're already telling me how to behave.
21:13I am not.
21:17I'm not.
21:18I'm not.
21:19I'm not.
21:20I'm not.
21:21I'm not.
21:23I've only ever met someone like David once in a lifetime.
21:27Are you talking about Logan?
21:29Yeah, well, begin to think all you see is not all you get with that guy.
