00:00Previously on Shorland Street.
00:02Can we be alone somewhere?
00:04My place, lunchtime.
00:05You missed your lunch with me, did you?
00:07I am having lunch with Cole.
00:08Hey, you're supposed to be having lunch with Harper.
00:10I don't think so.
00:11I got the day wrong.
00:12I don't buy that.
00:13And I just want you to come clean with me.
00:15Boyd!
00:17Prickles.
00:18You really like him.
00:19Yeah, I do.
00:20I think he's actually a keeper.
00:22I could see there being a strange femora was hurting you and her,
00:24so I called her and she wants to meet you.
00:26You have no idea what you've done.
00:28It's over.
00:29I've seen you do this time and time again.
00:31You cut out everyone who cares about you.
00:33That is not true.
00:35Then why are you alone?
00:41It's so good to see you.
00:44Are you guys okay?
00:46Just a check-up for Rummy.
00:48Here?
00:49Yep.
00:50What's going on?
00:52I've got some time.
00:53Do you want me to take a look?
00:54No, it's fine.
00:55Come on, mate.
00:56I want to be able to help.
00:57I don't want your help.
00:59Come on, Rummy.
01:00Let's go.
01:04Should I go after him?
01:06No, let me.
01:07And I'll keep you updated.
01:11If she wants to contribute, she can.
01:14She's saving Nick for the future.
01:15Yeah, and we can help her with that once we're back on her feet.
01:18She needs to focus on Knox.
01:20Stop babying her.
01:22Our stress is not her...
01:25It doesn't matter.
01:27I'll just say it.
01:29No, Nick.
01:30It doesn't matter.
01:33We're all going through a lot, especially you, okay?
01:35And I don't want to fight.
01:39Right, well, do you need a hand putting all this stuff away?
01:42No, um, no.
01:43I'm cataloguing.
01:45Okay.
01:46I wish I'd done this in the first place and then didn't.
01:49I wouldn't have sold Mum's necklace.
01:52Honey, Selina will give it back to you.
01:54I don't want it back.
01:57Okay, no problem.
01:59You do your thing and I will get started on lunch.
02:06Hey, nothing for me?
02:07Um, no, I'm looking for Boyd, actually.
02:10Yeah, what is he doing here?
02:12Sorry, I'm trying to find out.
02:13Make time for me later?
02:15My family needs me.
02:21Boyd, sorry, can I talk to you?
02:23Yeah, yeah, sure.
02:27Are you okay?
02:29Yeah, it's, um, it's Rommie.
02:32They've diagnosed him with PTSD.
02:34That's understandable.
02:36I know, but I don't think that's it.
02:39What do you mean?
02:40I think he's sick.
02:41I think it's physical.
02:43And I took him to Central and I'm not getting anywhere,
02:45so I want a second opinion.
02:47Okay, well, we can help you, whatever you need.
02:50Drew would love to.
02:51I don't want anything from Drew.
02:54Boyd, he loves you.
02:57He wants to be there for you any way he can.
02:59Time for our appointment with Naz.
03:02Come on, mate.
03:08Babe, I thought I lost you in there forever.
03:11Are you following that Meat Locker Mike story?
03:13Uh, the American serial killer?
03:15Yeah, it's creepy as hell.
03:17So his trial's almost over and the jury are deliberating,
03:19and the verdict, it comes out tomorrow and it's just so sick
03:22and I cannot take my eyes off of it.
03:23Okay, well, I need you to take your eyes off it
03:26and help with Mr. Blake's catheter, okay?
03:28Okay.
03:32Oh, Nicole, how are you?
03:34You must be missing your mum.
03:36Yeah, um, yeah, I'm not here.
03:38Officially, I'm just picking up some rosters to redo.
03:41Any problems, just go and see Celine.
03:43Well, this is a roster issue.
03:45I was wondering if I could have tomorrow off?
03:47Are you kidding?
03:48I know, I'm sorry it's late notice.
03:51For once, could you just plan ahead?
03:53I can't just wave my magic wand and find cover.
03:56It's fine, don't worry, forget it.
03:58Is it life or death?
03:59Well, yeah, death for Mike.
04:03Sorry, is he family?
04:05Um...
04:07Look, yeah, yeah, um, absolutely.
04:11Just, yeah, you take tomorrow off and the next day,
04:14if you want, it's in Invercargill.
04:17Yeah, yeah, but tomorrow is fine.
04:19Take care of yourself, yeah.
04:21And let me know if you need anything.
04:23I will.
04:28Oh, you watching me at Locker Mike?
04:30Huh?
04:31Nothing.
04:32You OK? You look concerned.
04:34Yeah, it's just EIM.
04:35Oh, does he want to get back together again?
04:37No, he's giving me a blow-by-blow of his new life.
04:40Oh, where's he at?
04:41London. He's got a new job, new flat.
04:44I'm happy for him.
04:46Don't worry, you want a fab new life, a hot new lover?
04:50What?
04:51Put it out in the world.
04:52You might just get exactly what you want.
05:08Before you say anything, you're being very careful.
05:10We are writing it all down and keeping it where you want.
05:13We just wanted to help out.
05:15Thank you.
05:18You OK?
05:19Um, Sage's relative passed away.
05:23What? No.
05:25And he was trying to ask for time off and I was really harsh on him.
05:28Oh, honey, it's OK.
05:30You're going through a lot.
05:31Yeah, well, so are you guys.
05:32You're not biting everyone's head off.
05:34Yeah, we all understand.
05:36Thanks.
05:39Oh.
05:40Who was that?
05:41Um, Griff.
05:43He was asking to hang out, but I'll let him know I'm busy.
05:46No, it's totally fine.
05:48Go and see Griff.
05:50He was asking if him and Charlie could come over.
05:53Maybe another time?
05:55Yeah, all good.
05:56No, it's fine.
05:58Cassie Griff and Charlie can come over.
06:01Do you think I'm, what, now I'm too fragile for visitors?
06:06No, I just think we need some family time.
06:09I think I need a break from the patronising.
06:12No, just forget it.
06:15Nick, you think I'm patronising you?
06:17You're making it worse.
06:18So just treat me like a normal human being.
06:21OK.
06:29Are you willing that cupcake into your mouth?
06:32Oh, God, was I staring at it?
06:34Yeah, yeah, you got a bit of drool just there.
06:37Maybe I should just eat it then.
06:39Do you want some?
06:40Sure, why not?
06:46Thank you.
06:48Feel good?
06:50Yeah, kind of, not really.
06:53Breakups are really hard.
06:55Mm, they can be.
06:57Sometimes you've just got to give in to it.
06:59Be sad and know you'll come out the other side.
07:01Is that what you do?
07:02Nah, nah, I should.
07:04But I usually just put it in a box, try not to think about it.
07:07It's real healthy.
07:08I do that with work stuff, but it's harder with personal emotions.
07:12Dumb feelings.
07:14Yeah, I haven't been so good at it lately either.
07:17Madonna seems to be moving on.
07:19Oh, sorry.
07:20No, no, it's the right thing.
07:22It's just a little bit raw sometimes.
07:24Totally.
07:26Hey, but this wasn't meant to be about me.
07:29I just want you to know that I understand.
07:31Breakups suck and it will take time,
07:34but you just know you'll come out the other side.
07:39Thanks for the muffin.
07:43PTSD.
07:45Good kid.
07:46Yeah, Boyd thinks it's something else, though.
07:49He does?
07:51Yeah.
07:52Call it parental instinct.
07:53Doctors at Central don't agree.
07:55That's why you wanted to talk to Nass.
07:57They had an appointment,
07:58but when I tried to find them afterwards they'd already gone.
08:00What did Nass say?
08:02Drew, remember a little thing called patient confidentiality?
08:05Yeah, I'm surprised you do.
08:08Hey, I am reformed.
08:10What can we do?
08:11Well, I've offered Boyd our help.
08:12He knows we're here if they need us.
08:14I'm going to call him.
08:15Drew, I know this is really hard for you.
08:17So don't call him?
08:19He's not ready.
08:20He came to the hospital.
08:21He knows I'm here and he still won't talk to me.
08:23Rommie is unwell.
08:24That is all he's thinking about right now.
08:26I can help him.
08:27He knows that.
08:28Please just let him be the one to come to you.
08:30That's what I've been doing this whole time.
08:32Drew.
08:37Sage, I am sorry for your loss.
08:41Oh, no, Madonna.
08:42You didn't need to do all that.
08:43You're probably in shock.
08:44It'll take a few days to sink in.
08:46Oh, come here.
08:48Sage, I am so sorry.
08:49I had no idea.
08:51No, no, no.
08:52It's okay.
08:53It's okay.
08:54You don't have to pretend around me.
08:55You can let it all out.
08:56Yeah, thanks, guys.
08:57It's tragic.
08:58Um, I think I was just getting my head around it.
09:00Yeah, of course.
09:01Absolutely.
09:02Well, I have corporate travel contacts.
09:03I will get them to get you a flight in for Cargill.
09:05Cheap as chips.
09:06No, you don't need to do that.
09:07My flight's booked.
09:08Okay, good.
09:09Well, at least you're going to be with family.
09:10Well, no.
09:11He was kind of estranged, so.
09:12But you stayed in touch, right?
09:13He was your cousin?
09:15My uncle, Mike Meat Lee.
09:19Mike Meat Lee?
09:20Yeah.
09:21Terrible surname on my mother's side.
09:23Oh, families.
09:24That can be so critical.
09:26How did he die?
09:30Bees.
09:32Yeah.
09:33Bee sting.
09:34Bee stings, actually.
09:35Um, he was allergic, so just one would have killed him.
09:37But they just went nuts.
09:39And the real tragic part is he was a beekeeper, so.
09:43Well, um, thanks, guys.
09:45I appreciate it.
09:46But I really should go home and, you know, be grieving.
09:49Of course.
09:50No, no.
09:51No, you're not going to grieve by yourself.
09:52Well, I'm fine.
09:53It's really a one-person thing, anyway.
09:55Absolutely not.
09:56No.
09:57We can have chocolate, face masks, wine, whatever you need.
09:59Why?
10:00Has something happened?
10:01Oh.
10:02I don't want to talk about it.
10:04What's this?
10:05No, nothing.
10:06You need to talk about it.
10:07No.
10:08Tonight is about Mike.
10:10Mike.
10:29Dr. Grayson.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Look, sorry for the late notice, but I'll need you to take over my surgeries for today.
10:35Everything OK?
10:36Oh, fine.
10:37Just an important meeting's come up.
10:38First up is an elective seizure.
10:39Call me if you need to, but you'll be fine.
10:42Guess I'll have to be.
10:44Have to be what?
10:45Have to be OK with a massively increased workload.
10:48Drew just offloaded his surgical list onto me.
10:51Oh, man.
10:52Yeah, some warning would have been nice.
10:54Well, it's a nice surprise to be working with you today.
10:58We'll see if you still feel like that at the end of the day.
11:02Shall we?
11:04Morning, Bree.
11:06This is Dr. Grayson.
11:07She'll be taking over from Dr. McCaskill today.
11:10How are you feeling?
11:11Yeah, a few butterflies, but mostly pretty excited.
11:14Sorry about the last-minute change to surgeon.
11:16Dr. McCaskill had an emergency he had to be at, but I promise I'll take good care of you.
11:21No worries.
11:22I gave up relying on men a long time ago.
11:25My ex left me at three months pregnant, and honestly, it's easier without him.
11:31When you know, you know.
11:32Absolutely.
11:33And I hear you.
11:35I just had a break-up, and I feel lighter already.
11:38Well, no offence to Dr. McCaskill, but I'm glad he got busy.
11:41Be nice to have a woman in charge.
11:43You bet.
11:44I'll be on my best behaviour.
11:45Promise.
11:46You seem like one of the good ones.
11:48He is.
11:52Still going?
11:53Yeah, I just want everything in order.
11:57I just want everything in order.
11:59OK, why don't you let me and Cassie finish it off?
12:01You guys did enough last night.
12:06Nick, I don't think this is helping.
12:10What do you want me to do?
12:12Wail?
12:13Wring my hands?
12:14No.
12:15I just want you to know that it's OK to let it out.
12:18I have let it out.
12:19I've cried.
12:20That's not a one-off thing.
12:21Honey, grief is like waves.
12:24Sometimes you feel like you're...
12:25People are different, OK?
12:27We feel grief differently.
12:29We process differently.
12:31Just stop judging me for doing it my way.
12:35Nick, I'm not judging you.
12:37It feels like you are, so if you just leave me alone.
12:41Hi.
12:42Um, this is for you.
12:52What is this?
12:54It's to put towards the household expenses.
12:56Cassie, you don't have to do that.
12:59This is a lot of money.
13:01I know I don't have to, but I want to.
13:05You guys do so much for me and Knox, I wanted to contribute.
13:08Cassie, that is so kind.
13:12Honey, we really appreciate it.
13:19We can work together.
13:21Boyd doesn't have to know.
13:22True.
13:23All Boyd wants is for his son to be well.
13:25If we get to the bottom of it, he won't care who did what.
13:27I'm not taking on Romulus's case.
13:29You've referred him.
13:30I agreed with the initial assessment.
13:32That Romulus has PTSD.
13:34We told Harper.
13:35It's OK.
13:37But that's your opinion, after a full assessment?
13:39I didn't cut any corners, if that's what you're suggesting.
13:42This is important, Naz.
13:43We can't miss anything, not with Romulus.
13:45I was thorough.
13:46Can I see your findings?
13:47No.
13:48Naz!
13:49Boyd has them.
13:50If he wants to show them to you, he can.
13:52Are you even listening?
13:53Do I need to spell it out?
13:54He won't talk to me.
13:56Well, I'm sorry.
13:57There's nothing I can do.
13:59I heard about that friend of yours.
14:01What was his name?
14:04Will.
14:05You moved heaven and earth to help him.
14:08I just want to help my friend.
14:10Why, have you considered that Boyd might still be coming to terms
14:12with the death of his son?
14:14Uh, yeah.
14:15That's going to take a lifetime.
14:17And it doesn't mean Romulus isn't sick.
14:19OK.
14:20You want my honest opinion?
14:21Of course.
14:22I don't think it's just Romulus who needs to be treated for
14:24psychological distress.
14:28OK.
14:29Let me know if you feel anything, Bree.
14:31Can't feel a thing.
14:33Great.
14:34OK.
14:35We're ready to go.
14:36About to make the first incision.
14:37I'm really glad we're doing this on time.
14:39It's actually so you get some abdominal pains,
14:41and I really didn't want to have to go through labor.
14:44I mean, I know people say it's empowering,
14:46but it is just not for me.
14:48I have a feeling you'd be just fine.
14:50I've had things wet to plan for you.
14:52This is so weird.
14:54Sorry, I hope you don't mind me talking.
14:56I get super chatty when I'm nervous.
14:58No, it's fine.
14:59So, have you met anyone since you were ex?
15:04Uh, he's only just moved out.
15:06Doesn't mean you can't date other people.
15:08You don't owe him anything.
15:10We'll see.
15:11Watch this space.
15:13What about you, Billy?
15:15Sorry, personal questions.
15:17Oh, that's OK.
15:18Blame the epidural.
15:19Or the noobs.
15:21Well?
15:23Uh, someone I'd like to get to know, yeah.
15:28That's all I'm going to say for now.
15:33Boyd.
15:36Hey, hey, hey, wait.
15:41I've just been talking with Nass.
15:43Not about Romulus.
15:44That's confidential.
15:45Yes, it is, and he did not let anything slip.
15:48What?
15:49He has some concerns about you.
15:52About me?
15:54Are you kidding me?
15:56Just please go away.
15:58Mate, I'm here for you.
16:01And listen, I know I'm probably the last person you want to talk to right now,
16:04but I'm here.
16:07Rommie is sick.
16:09But everywhere I go, people want me to get a psych assessment.
16:12Well, they're just concerned for you.
16:14And Rom.
16:15Maybe it wouldn't hurt for both of you to go...
16:17I don't want to see someone.
16:19You think I wouldn't be in counselling?
16:21You think I wouldn't want Rom to have someone to see about this?
16:23Of course, of course.
16:25And listen, I believe you.
16:28You believe me?
16:31You haven't even assessed him.
16:32You don't know what his symptoms are.
16:35I know you, mate.
16:36And if you feel there's something wrong,
16:39then there's got to be something wrong.
16:43You really still want to assess him?
16:45Please.
16:51I can't find the ring.
16:52What ring?
16:53Mum's great-grandmother's ring.
16:56It's an heirloom.
16:57Honey, it's okay.
16:58No, it's not.
16:59It meant the world to her,
17:00and she was gifted it on her 21st birthday.
17:04Okay, we'll just slow down.
17:05It has to be here somewhere.
17:06Yeah, it is some...
17:08It was here yesterday, and now it's gone.
17:10Yeah, well, maybe you put it somewhere else.
17:12I didn't.
17:14Nick, can you just stop for a second, please?
17:17I asked you not to touch anything, yeah?
17:20But you and Cassie just had to move everything.
17:23Nick, I didn't even see a ring, okay?
17:25So I doubt Cassie did either.
17:27Babe, please, can you calm down for a minute?
17:30Yep, yep, yep.
17:31There we go again.
17:32Crazy Nicole has to calm down.
17:35She's not grieving the right way.
17:37That is not what I'm...
17:38Nick, look, baby, you're moving so quickly,
17:40you're probably going to miss it.
17:42I need to find it.
17:43Okay, then let me help you.
17:45Honey, we can go slowly.
17:46Yeah, take it one place at a time.
17:48It has to be in the house somewhere.
17:54Well done, beautiful baby girl.
17:57Can I see you?
17:58Of course.
18:01Hello, darling.
18:02Isn't she lovely?
18:06Oh, I'm going to be sick.
18:10That's okay, Bree, that's very normal.
18:12We are giving you something now for the nausea.
18:15Billy?
18:17What's up?
18:18I've nicked the bell.
18:19This might take a while,
18:20so I need you to keep her calm while I do the repair.
18:22Sure thing.
18:24Won't be too long before we take you to recovery, Bree.
18:26You thought of any names?
18:28Uh, I have a list,
18:30but just wanted to kind of meet her first, you know?
18:33Oh, yeah, maybe stay away from Selina.
18:38So when does it start?
18:40That's the thing, I'm not really sure.
18:43I've just been putting one foot in front of the other, you know?
18:45Of course you have, and that's okay.
18:47I'm really worried that I've missed something important.
18:50Well, you're here now.
18:52We'll get to the bottom of it.
18:56Go on, boy.
18:57Actually, before you do, Drew,
18:59can I have a word with you outside, please?
19:01Sure thing.
19:03Back in a minute, boys.
19:10What are you doing?
19:11I'm assessing Romulus.
19:13Boyd asked me to.
19:14Did he? I thought he was shutting you out.
19:16Yeah, well, he opened the door again.
19:18And why is that?
19:19He knows I'm a good doctor.
19:21He knows you're his friend.
19:22You're saying there's a conflict of interest.
19:24I'm just saying be careful.
19:25You're questioning my objectivity.
19:27All I'm saying is your relationship with Boyd complicates things.
19:29Any diagnosis I come to will be based on the facts,
19:32and only the facts.
19:35Okay, I'll leave you to it.
19:39Look, babe, it can't have gone anywhere, okay?
19:41It is small.
19:42It's going to turn up somewhere unexpected.
19:44What happened?
19:45Oh, Nick can't find Leanne's ring.
19:47Oh, no.
19:48Um, I can help look.
19:49We've looked everywhere.
19:51Nick, we're going to find it, okay?
19:53It's important.
19:54Maybe you put it in with some stuff and it got lost.
19:56Yeah, it is just a thing.
19:58Okay.
19:59It's not Leanne.
20:00So it's stupid of me to care about something that's been in my family all of my life?
20:05No, I didn't mean that.
20:06Yeah, you did.
20:07I think you did.
20:08I think you did.
20:09It's just another thing that I'm doing wrong.
20:11Honey, you're not doing anything wrong.
20:12Well, I'm not grieving right, though, am I?
20:14Maybe you just dropped it.
20:21It was you.
20:23Sorry?
20:24What are you talking about?
20:26Well, you took the ring.
20:29No, I didn't.
20:30Why would I do that?
20:31So where did you get all of that cash?
20:34Nick, stop.
20:35Okay.
20:37Before you say something, you'll regret.
20:41I'm always concerned about the risk of infection after a seizure.
20:44I always try and close up the mum as soon as possible once the baby and placenta are out.
20:48That was a real spin on the works.
20:50Of course.
20:52Never would have thought you'd be feeling like that.
20:54I keep my cards close.
20:57Yeah, maybe we should have a drink to celebrate.
21:00Maybe we should.
21:03A first.
21:14Whatever happened to that ring?
21:15Cassie didn't steal it.
21:17How do you know?
21:18Because I know.
21:19Look at her.
21:20Look what you're doing to her.
21:22I would never do that to you or Leanne.
21:24I loved her.
21:25You see?
21:26You don't care.
21:27You said it's just a thing.
21:28Well, it's not a thing.
21:29It is all that is left of my mother.
21:32Take it.
21:33Well, she's done it before.
21:34Don't.
21:35She's a thief.
21:36I mean, she took drugs from the hospital, your laptop, your iPad, your dead son's skateboard.
21:40There was a long time ago.
21:41Once a thief, always a thief.
21:42What has gotten into you?
21:43She's the one with the problem.
21:45Cassie is trying to help us, Nick.
21:47But you are so stuck.
21:49All you can see is your own pain.
21:50My mother has died.
21:52Yeah, then we're all here for you.
21:54But that doesn't mean you get to treat us like dirt.
21:56I'm not treating you like anything.
21:58Nick, you're being selfish.
21:59Okay?
22:00And you are being cruel.
22:01Me?
22:02All you do is make me feel bad.
22:04I'm not grieving right.
22:05I'm focusing on the wrong things.
22:07I never said that.
22:08Just walk around with that judgmental look on your face.
22:11Hey, this is all in your head.
22:13Do not gaslight me.
22:14For God's sake, Nicole, I am trying to get through to you.
22:17I can't live like this.
22:20You've got to move out.
22:22What?
22:23No.
22:24I can't live with someone that I do not trust.
22:27Cassie and Knox are our family.
22:28Your family.
22:29Not mine.
22:30Not mom's.
22:32Heck.
22:34How could you say that?
22:35No, honey.
22:36I am not staying where I'm not wanted.
22:37You are wanted.
22:38You hear me?
22:39You are not leaving.
22:41Nicole, you tell her.
22:42It's for the best.
22:44Who the hell are you right now?
22:46Stop making it out like there is something wrong with me.
22:49There is, Nick.
22:51This isn't you.
22:52Not even if Leanne could see it.
22:54What?
22:56She wouldn't be proud, honey.
22:59She would be disgusted.
23:02Get out.
23:03Get out.
23:05Both of you.
23:06Get out.
23:09Now!
