00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02You know, I was just trying to fit in.
00:04With a bunch of kids.
00:05Who assumed that I was younger.
00:07And I promise, no more secrets.
00:09Perfect!
00:10You can come with us to Winter Park tomorrow.
00:12I think she's really into me.
00:13You're going back to Erinsborough High!
00:15Why are you doing this?
00:16Because I like Nell too!
00:17Maybe we should find a way to switch off.
00:20Dessert?
00:21You're being work-zoned.
00:22You're spending way too much time here
00:23that now it's time to see you as a colleague.
00:25This place is a mess.
00:26I can rent the space tomorrow.
00:27So if I close Sonia's nursery...
00:31Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect blend
00:49Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:59Become good friends
01:26This is our time, baby.
01:27Me and my new job.
01:28You and your nursery.
01:29Nothing's going to stop us now.
01:41What are you doing working on your birthday?
01:43A book.
01:44It's not really work, is it?
01:47I'm proud of the choices that I've made
01:49that have got me standing here with you.
01:53Asking you to marry me.
02:15Hey there.
02:16Hey.
02:18You took a while.
02:19Did you find anything?
02:20Ah, yeah, sorry.
02:21My idea was a bust.
02:22Oh.
02:23Well, thanks anyway.
02:26Um...
02:27I know I said that I was going to help you finish off,
02:29but I'm going to have to pull out.
02:32Oh.
02:33No worries.
02:34Yeah.
02:35I'm happy to pay someone.
02:36Toad, it's fine.
02:37You do what you need to do.
02:38I've got this.
02:40Thanks.
02:44See ya.
02:50See ya.
03:09Uh, Rhett, yeah, it's Jared Rebecki.
03:11I've, um, I've made a decision.
03:13I can't close our nursery.
03:17Your hat.
03:18It has a wide brim with giant cabbage flowers.
03:23Right.
03:24Um...
03:25Have you retraced your steps?
03:27I have looked everywhere.
03:29My Lester bought me that hat.
03:31He said the cabbage flowers complimented my eyes.
03:36Right, well, I can see how much it means to you.
03:40I've got aquaerobics now,
03:42and then I'll be in my studio.
03:45Thank you, Moira.
03:46Bye, Moira.
03:49Oh.
03:51I've seen that hat.
03:52It's hideous.
03:54Do you reckon we could just handball the problem to Harold?
03:58Um, I think the resident representative probably already knows about it.
04:03Oh, which reminds me,
04:04Harold's coming over for dinner tomorrow night.
04:06Would you and Carl like to come over too?
04:07Oh, that sounds lovely.
04:09Thanks.
04:10I mean, unless you'd prefer to try and have another night in.
04:13Oh, yeah.
04:14Nice idea.
04:15Pretty sure Melanie and Holly are going to be home.
04:19You know, you have between two and five off this afternoon.
04:26What are you suggesting?
04:29What's Carl up to?
04:30I mean, maybe you could pop on home.
04:33Hmm?
04:39If that wasn't a wall for squealing like a baby,
04:42JJ would have totally won it on the ghost train.
04:44Ghost train.
04:48Do you guys want to grab a juice at Harold's or maybe some lunch?
04:51Um, yeah, I'm easy.
04:53Oh, yeah, whatever you want.
04:58Alright, what's going on with you guys?
05:00Maybe we shouldn't have had those smoothies before we went on the twin dragon.
05:04Just tired.
05:05Yeah, same.
05:08Alright, let's do toasties.
05:11Hey, looks like you all won big today.
05:14There's my Erinsborough High student.
05:15How are you feeling?
05:17Good, yeah.
05:21Okay.
05:23See ya.
05:34Today?
05:35Yes.
05:36Yes, you've got a break in your schedule, so do I.
05:38And Therese is very happy for us to just slip away.
05:42I know what this is about.
05:45New season of glugan drops today.
05:49That's it?
05:50Glugan.
05:51It's a date.
05:52I'll see you at two.
05:58Hey, Toad.
06:00Not now.
06:03Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
06:04I just can't be gone for too long.
06:07Okay.
06:08Bye.
06:10I'm sure Toadie just needs to work.
06:12Yeah, he just seemed a bit off, that's all.
06:17Hey, you look good here.
06:20Yeah, I just didn't have time to take them home after uni and didn't want them drying out.
06:25But they are beautiful.
06:26Not as beautiful as you.
06:29Wow.
06:30She should be having secret parties more often.
06:35Hey, I got a message from JJ saying that he is back at E High.
06:38It's amazing.
06:39Wow.
06:40Yeah, we're pretty stoked.
06:41And relieved.
06:42I mean, JJ deserves good things.
06:44You know what?
06:45We all do.
06:47Hey, speaking of, do you have time for dinner before I start my night shift?
06:51Of course.
06:52Okay.
06:53I could meet you during my break.
06:55It's a date.
06:56Yeah.
06:58Wow, you are so much more easy going than I gave you credit for.
07:01Like, if Remy was pretending to be single, I would have lost it.
07:08Yeah.
07:13Single?
07:17I thought you were just pretending to be younger.
07:26No, I just, I let the uni kids think that I was single and childless.
07:35But that was all part of the misunderstanding.
07:37Okay?
07:39You didn't, um, correct them.
07:44Yeah, I see now why you took down all the family photos.
07:48And you weren't wearing your wedding ring.
07:52Do you know what?
07:55Don't worry about dinner.
08:06Hey.
08:09We need to talk.
08:12Look, I didn't properly get a chance to explain before, okay?
08:15Don't need any more details.
08:17You didn't want your shiny new friends to know about me and Sadie.
08:20End of story.
08:22No, it wasn't that serious.
08:24And you know me, I'm crazy, kooky, Wendy.
08:28I thought that's what you loved about me.
08:30I thought that's what you loved about me.
08:33I thought that's what you loved about me.
08:36You know, I was just trying to fit in.
08:38And yeah, I took it too far.
08:41But it's got nothing to do with how I feel about you or Sadie.
08:44You know, I'm sorry.
08:45It was just because you were busted.
08:47If that campsite hadn't been double booked and Holly hadn't bailed on Sadie,
08:50we'd be none the wiser and you'd still be running with it.
08:54What a shame that you can't keep pretending your family doesn't exist.
08:59Andrew!
09:03Oh, dear.
09:04I had no idea it was so run down.
09:07Well, I shouldn't have known.
09:08The agent's been trying to tell me for months.
09:13I thought that I had made my decision.
09:16Shutting it felt like the right thing to do.
09:18Then you changed your mind.
09:20Well, this place meant everything to Sonia.
09:24If I close it, I feel like I'm letting her down.
09:26Oh, come on, don't worry about it.
09:27I'm not letting her down.
09:29If I close it, I feel like I'm letting her down.
09:31Oh, come on.
09:32No one could accuse you of doing that.
09:33You also run the foundation.
09:35Yeah.
09:36I know, I know.
09:37I'm just...
09:41I'm surrounded by reminders of her.
09:46I've mourned her.
09:48I've moved on.
09:50So I don't...
09:51I don't know why this is happening.
09:53I can't let this go.
09:54I don't...
09:57Is Dee also on your mind?
09:59I only bring it up because of the conversation we had last week.
10:03Yeah, I tried to write her a letter.
10:04Therese encouraged me to do it.
10:06What stopped you?
10:09I don't know.
10:11I guess I didn't know where to start.
10:15I divorced Mal.
10:17Married Therese.
10:19Nearly lost her too.
10:20I mean, that's one hell of an update, isn't it?
10:22Yeah.
10:23Man, all these months,
10:24I've been thinking that the biggest threat to Therese and I
10:28is Melanie and Paul.
10:29And now it's just all of these reminders about my past.
10:32They just...
10:33They keep coming back.
10:36I don't know what to do about that.
10:47I can't believe you lied to her this whole time.
10:49Like I've been asking you for help and you've just been lying to my face.
10:52I haven't.
10:54Has all this advice you've been giving me been bad on purpose?
10:57What?
10:58Like you're trying to sabotage me by just giving me stupid things to do.
11:01Dex, I would never do that.
11:02Just forget I said anything and I'm not going to act on it.
11:05I swear.
11:10Alrighty.
11:11I'm thinking mushroom toasties.
11:13What about you guys?
11:14Sounds good.
11:16I'm sorry.
11:21I hope I'm not putting you in an awkward position telling you all this.
11:24No, no, no.
11:25I'm pleased you feel you can confide in me.
11:27Yes, I'd hate to make things awkward between you and Therese.
11:30You're not, you're not.
11:31Although I can't help feeling maybe this is a conversation you should have with her
11:36and I'm wondering what's holding you back.
11:38No, no, no.
11:39No, I've already put Therese through so much when I cheated on her.
11:42This is hardly cheating.
11:43It's still my baggage, mate.
11:45When I'm with Therese, everything truly is great.
11:49So I don't want to give her any reason to worry.
11:54There is no, there is no reason to worry.
11:57It's just weird feelings.
11:59That's it.
12:00Sure.
12:01I'm sorry.
12:02It's Susan.
12:03She's going to swing by my office.
12:05Hi.
12:06Where are you?
12:07I'm on my way.
12:08On your way from where?
12:09It's almost three o'clock.
12:10We've got to be back here by five.
12:13Well, we can watch glue again in my office, yeah?
12:15I'll see you soon.
12:18Oh, great.
12:21Have you found my hat?
12:22Oh, Moira, your hat.
12:24No, no.
12:25Well, do I need to describe it again?
12:26No, no, no.
12:27I can picture the cabbage patch.
12:29Cabbage flower.
12:30Flower, flower.
12:31I will be in my studio and I expect an update.
12:34Yes.
12:36Not the only one expecting an update, Moira.
12:43Dex, hey, um, I just want to say that I'm sorry about Nell.
12:49And, um, you know, if we could just put it behind us, that'd be great.
12:58Oh, come on.
12:59Hey, stop ignoring me.
13:01Oh, leave me alone.
13:04Oh, look what you did.
13:05Okay, that wasn't my fault.
13:07Come on.
13:08This is a special edition.
13:10You two, chill out.
13:11Chill out.
13:12What's happened?
13:13Oh, I'm supposed to lend this to Nell tomorrow.
13:15No, you broke it.
13:16That was an accident, Dex.
13:17Okay, what is going on?
13:18You two have been weird since you got home.
13:20We're supposed to be celebrating JJ going back to school.
13:23Did something happen at Luna Park?
13:42Hey, are you okay?
13:50It's just some marriage stuff.
13:52Had the party windy head?
14:00Sort of.
14:03I found out about something that she's been doing and...
14:07I could see me for a six, to be honest.
14:10I thought I knew her better than anyone else in the world.
14:13I just don't understand, really.
14:16Hey, look, I've got to get out of the shower and get ready for work, alright?
14:19Feel free to use the bag as long as you want.
14:22Hey, Andrew.
14:24I hope everything gets sorted.
14:28Yeah.
14:29You too.
14:34Hello.
14:39Okay.
14:53Moira, Moira, Moira.
15:10Ah.
15:12Ah.
15:40Knock, knock, knock.
15:46Come in, big boy.
15:52Ah, ah, ah.
15:59I see you have found my hat.
16:10Moira, I am so, so sorry.
16:12I wasn't expecting you.
16:15Clearly.
16:17Is your back still hurting, darling?
16:20Yes.
16:21Yes.
16:23Yes, I was hoping that you could just give it a little rub.
16:26Of course.
16:27Oh, what's going on?
16:28I heard screams.
16:30The residential rep will be hearing about this.
16:33What?
16:35Ah.
16:36Huh?
16:37Ah.
16:38Huh?
16:39Please, please don't ask.
16:44Ah.
16:45I have to ask.
16:46What's going on?
16:49I have been dropping hints for a week.
16:51We need some couple time.
16:53Oh.
16:54Oh.
16:55I don't usually have to spell it out for you, Carl.
16:57That can only mean one thing.
16:59What?
17:00I have been work zoned.
17:01Work, work, work.
17:02Work, work zoned.
17:03Zoned.
17:04We've become all work and no play.
17:06Don't you feel it too?
17:07Oh, I suppose I have been a little bit distracted.
17:09When I realised that there wasn't time to dash home,
17:11I thought I would try and, you know, spice things up a bit here.
17:15I should have known it wasn't you when I heard the door knock.
17:17Of all the places for Maura to leave her cabbage flower hat.
17:22Oh, yeah.
17:23Well, I guess we could be grateful it was a big one.
17:25Oh.
17:26Oh, darling, come on.
17:27Come here, come here.
17:28Oh, I feel sick.
17:30Oh.
17:31Oh.
17:32Oh, not now, Carl.
17:33Oh.
17:37Things seemed pretty tense with Andrew earlier.
17:40Yeah, well, he's furious at me.
17:42Didn't even get a chance to explain properly.
17:45And now all I want to do is talk it through, but I'm stuck here.
17:49And he's got to work until midnight.
17:51Yeah, well, you never know.
17:52That could be a good thing.
17:53A bit of time to cool things off.
17:56Wendy, I know it sucks, but you guys will work through this.
17:59I know it.
18:00Thanks.
18:02Hey, I'm just picking up that dessert I ordered.
18:05Ah, yep.
18:06Let me check with the kitchen.
18:07Great, thanks.
18:11Hey.
18:12Hey.
18:13Look, I feel terrible about my big mouth before.
18:16I honestly just thought that you'd told Sadie and Andrew everything.
18:20Hey, it's not your fault.
18:24You haven't told anyone about me, have you?
18:27My whole uni thing.
18:29Don't worry, I'm a vault.
18:33I hate to even ask, especially after landing you in it.
18:37Like I said, I got myself into this.
18:41I caused the mess.
18:43I've just got to put it right.
18:49Can you just tell Aaron that I've popped out for a tick?
18:54Yeah, sure.
19:03Andrew, I couldn't leave things as they were.
19:09I just needed more of a chance to explain.
19:12It's not the time or place, Wendy.
19:15Please, I just, I feel like you think I cooked up this whole grand scheme to lie about you to my friends,
19:21and it wasn't like that.
19:28Then what was it like?
19:31Well, it was a misunderstanding, okay, and I just, I let it slide.
19:38I didn't want them thinking I was some boring old fuddy-duddy.
19:42But you're not.
19:44That's what makes all of this so ridiculous.
19:49What do you mean?
19:50You're amazing.
19:51You're funny and fun, and your uni mates would have seen that and loved you for it if you'd just, I don't know, been honest.
20:00Maybe.
20:01So tell me, honestly, why did you let this go on for so long?
20:12I guess I enjoyed it.
20:19No, it was just like this whole new world opened up for me, you know?
20:23I was, I just felt so young and free.
20:26It was like my whole life was ahead of me.
20:28Yeah, right, so in real life, me and Sadie, we hold you back.
20:31No, no, that is not.
20:33So we just stop you from being free and happy?
20:37Yeah, look, it's just, it was different, okay, and you know what, I'm not explaining this, right?
20:42No, no, you can dress this up however you like, but the bottom line is, in your dream life, me and Sadie, we don't exist.
20:48I don't know how I'm supposed to just deal with that.
20:59No, don't apologise to me.
21:02I'm the one that encouraged you to get busy.
21:07No worries.
21:08Alright, goodnight.
21:09Bye.
21:10Who's getting busy?
21:11Oh, just Susan.
21:13I don't think she's ever going to take my advice again.
21:15Oh, you finished your letter today?
21:17Yes, yeah, I did.
21:18And Hugh goes happy if we include some pictures of himself.
21:21Oh, that's nice.
21:22I'm sure she'll love that.
21:24How did you go this morning at the nursery?
21:28Ah, yeah, good.
21:29Yeah, everything's under control.
21:31Oh, and how did you go at Lunar Park today?
21:33Oh, am I going to have to tell you about every ride?
21:36Um, yes, every single ride.
21:38While you help me with dinner.
21:43Um, I was thinking...
21:58I'm sorry.
22:29Hi, this is Andrew.
22:31Leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP.
22:49Coming up on Neighbours.
22:51I saw that.
22:52Saw what?
22:53That look that you and Nick gave each other.
22:55What's happened?
22:58I don't want to lose you, Andrew.
23:01I just don't think I'd be able to live with myself.
