00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02We both know I'm not the brains of this relationship.
00:05Booksmarts have got nothing to do with intelligence.
00:07I'm not something to fight over. I can make my own decisions.
00:10I had no idea it was so run down.
00:12Just all of these reminders about my past.
00:14They keep coming back.
00:15I really think you should get counselling.
00:17Hey, Rhonda.
00:18Hey, Silverson.
00:19I said I needed some conveyancing.
00:21Everybody knows everybody here and nobody knows how to keep their mouths shut.
00:25You found a guy.
00:26Don't say anything to Mac.
00:27I'd love to spend some more time with you.
00:31Neighbors
00:34Everybody needs good neighbors
00:38With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect blend
00:49Neighbors
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbors become good friends
01:14Hello again.
01:17Can't stay awake?
01:18I'm getting a margarita.
01:19I've had an exhausting day.
01:26What a coincidence. So have I.
01:29Remember, we're supposed to be keeping things on the DL.
01:34You're the one talking to me.
01:37Moving on from your partner is hard enough.
01:39I'm hell scared for him.
01:41Yeah, it's been a lot, but hey, everyone has stood up for Wink, so it's really nice.
01:46It's because we all love you.
01:48Thanks, Mega.
01:51Who's the suit?
01:52Well, he's one of our new clients.
01:54It's weird. I'm usually pretty good at names, but I got his completely wrong.
01:59I do not trust my memory at all since Isla.
02:02You know, it'd be so much easier if everyone just wore name tags.
02:14Hello.
02:16Hey.
02:17Hey.
02:19Oh, what a day.
02:22I was thinking dinner out because I cannot fathom booking.
02:26Yeah, I've got an assignment due tomorrow and this coding thing is really kicking my butt.
02:31Yeah, she's been working on it non-stop.
02:34How's it all going?
02:36Yeah, not bad.
02:38I got a distinction last week.
02:40What? Why didn't you tell us?
02:43Might have been a fluke or an accident.
02:46Well, no one is handing out accidental distinctions.
02:49Accidental distinctions?
02:51Just a bit hard to believe, that's all.
02:53Well, believe it, baby. It happened.
03:00Yeah, do you know what?
03:02I've done all that I can.
03:04Let's go eat.
03:06As my girl.
03:08I'm going to change.
03:20It's the last time. Everything's fine.
03:23Alright, alright. It's just I haven't seen you go over to the Varga Murphy's recently.
03:27I've been hanging out with Jasmine.
03:28You know what? In other news, I have been thinking about formally changing my name to Therese Rebecca.
03:35Really?
03:36Yeah, well, I've got a fish name, so I thought, why not?
03:39I love it.
03:41Sounds like it's a done deal.
03:42Hi. Sorry, sorry to interrupt.
03:45Um, Tony, I was talking to Holly before and she thought that I got Heath's name wrong.
03:50Heath Silverson?
03:51Yes. Apparently, he's working with Tess at the hotel and he's saying that his name is Heath Royce.
03:57That's odd.
03:58So I just looked him up and I think I know why he's been using a different surname at work.
04:02Heath Silverson was convicted of fraud a few years ago.
04:06Heath Silverson was convicted of fraud a few years ago.
04:09Falsifying signatures on a bunch of insurance contracts.
04:13Right. Okay.
04:15We're just handling a property sale for him, so just make sure that everything is above board, I guess.
04:22Do you think Krista knows?
04:25Well, you're under no obligation to protect Heath, so if you want to go and tell her, go for it.
04:37I came straight here.
04:41I'm shocked.
04:43So you had no idea Heath had done this?
04:45Of course not. I can't believe it.
04:51So what are you going to do?
04:54Who else in the company have you told?
04:56No one.
04:58Heath has a lot of explaining to do.
05:00An extraordinary catch.
05:02Please, thank Mackenzie for being so thorough.
05:06Keep me updated.
05:08Of course.
05:19Oh yes, yes.
05:20Okay, here we go.
05:21Ah, and that is for the lady who got the deal.
05:25Oh yes, yes.
05:26Okay, here we go.
05:27Ah, and that is for the lady who got the distinction.
05:30Ah, it's no biggie.
05:31No, that's definitely a biggie.
05:33You should own it, Mum.
05:34Yeah, own it, Mum.
05:36Hey, by the way, can I borrow your drill to fix my shed?
05:38Oh, yeah, of course. Just come and grab it any time.
05:41Cool, thank you.
05:45Hey, I thought the idea was for you to switch off. Relax.
05:48Yeah, sorry. I just can't stop going over the answers in my mind.
05:52Coding is hard.
05:54But either way, when I get home, I'm just going to send it off.
05:57If I get a lousy mark, then I get a lousy mark.
06:03Hey, I might go home. Is that okay?
06:06Oh, I thought we were going to take a walk after dessert.
06:10I have some homework to do.
06:12Oh.
06:13I'll see you at home, mate.
06:15Bye, bud.
06:17He's good. He's yum.
06:18He's good?
06:19Yeah, he's yum.
06:20Okay, I'll have some.
06:22So that whole thing's for you?
06:23I'm just a top buyer.
06:24I knew something like this would happen.
06:26How was I supposed to know they'd talk?
06:28I've barely met this Mackenzie person.
06:30Did you cancel the purchase?
06:33I told you to end it.
06:35Rebecca called me to confirm a few details, okay?
06:38I thought it would be more suspicious if I pulled the plug.
06:41Do you know how hard I have been working to pull this off?
06:44I've been working hard too.
06:45If we give anyone cause to look too deeply into either one of us...
06:48Alright, I get it.
06:50I made a mistake, alright?
06:53Another one.
06:55So what now?
06:57We'll have to go ahead with the property.
06:59Oh, thinking of those Maui sunsets?
07:01This isn't funny.
07:04Obviously I can't fire you.
07:06I'm going to have to hose Krista down some other way.
07:09Well, I can do that.
07:10No.
07:12You've done enough damage.
07:15Let me make it up to you.
07:18You are not kissing your way out of this one.
07:24Hello?
07:25Oh, hey mate.
07:26I'm just here to borrow that drill.
07:28Uh, yeah, it's in Mum's toolkit.
07:30Oh, cool.
07:33Hey, do you know what software I can use to design a workflow builder for HVAC systems?
07:37Oh, what do you need to know that for?
07:39I'm just curious.
07:42Oh, I'm just an assignment.
07:45Okay, that's a pretty specific one for year 10.
07:50I'm in an advanced IT course.
07:52Right, okay, well I'd go with something like MacroCoder.
07:56Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, thanks.
08:01Do you need something else?
08:03No, we're good.
08:05Alright.
08:13Oh, Nicolette's RSVP'd.
08:16And Jane and Byron said they'll be back from Queensland, so they're in too.
08:20Oh, that's pretty much the whole street then.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Oh, and Harold said he would come, of course.
08:25Yeah, well, it wouldn't be an anniversary celebration without him.
08:28Um, listen, maybe we should mention to the kids the one person who can't come.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Um, hey guys.
08:40Hey guys.
08:41Just want to let you know, we did ask Melanie, but she said that she had something on.
08:45Okay, whatever.
08:47Uh, we know you guys are all cool with each other now.
08:51Yeah, yeah, we are.
08:53Hey, um, maybe we should put a proper invite list together tomorrow morning.
08:59Don't want to forget anyone.
09:01Unless their name starts with Vera and ends in punt.
09:04Oh, Hugo!
09:05What? Dad always crosses the road when he sees her coming.
09:08Yeah, uh, yeah, that's very true.
09:10Um, look, I can't do it tomorrow morning. I've got to head into the office.
09:13What, Saturday?
09:14Yeah, it's just for a few hours. I'll be back by Wednesday.
09:17Okay, well, we'll do it when you get back.
09:19Good.
09:20Uh-huh.
09:28Dexy?
09:29How was the walk?
09:30Uh, long.
09:31Ah, therapeutic.
09:33Yeah.
09:35Well, what are you doing?
09:38I'm just going to go over it one more time.
09:41I thought you weren't doing that.
09:42Yeah, well, it can't hurt.
09:46Ma, she's looking over it again.
09:48Yeah, one more time's fine.
09:50Well, she'll just look over it again and again and she'll never get any sleep.
09:53So you just have to trust in yourself.
09:56You know what? He's right. Just send it.
10:01Done.
10:25Hi. What's up, dear?
10:27Hi.
10:28Um, perfecting the ancient art of killing my enemies with one punch.
10:32That's cool. Wow.
10:33Hey, um, I could help you practice if you want.
10:36You know, it'll probably be easier with an actual opponent.
10:39It also gives you a pretty good excuse to punch me.
10:41I know you want to do that.
10:43So, uh, what do you say?
10:45Um, all right.
10:48But don't get upset if I actually hit you.
10:50All right.
10:58So, uh, Therese, uh, she's got me doing all this extra work around Arrheni at the moment.
11:04I thought things were lighting up since you were back at work.
11:08Well, yeah, I'm still doing some casual shifts,
11:10but Therese wants me to help out with all the gardening and stuff,
11:13which is a problem because I, uh, kill any plant that I...
11:16I kill any plant that I try to water, you know?
11:20So, yeah.
11:22You know, you got some plants in your room.
11:25How do you keep them alive?
11:28Uh, my mum used to own a nursery, so I guess I picked up some chips from her.
11:33Oh, that's cool. Where is it?
11:35It's nearby, but I haven't been there in ages.
11:41Um, can you put up your hands?
11:43Yeah, sure.
11:47I'm struggling to understand why you didn't say anything.
11:50Well, I guess it was naive to think that my past could stay there and I could move on.
11:54We need to hear the details.
11:57A couple of years ago, my uncle offered me a job at his insurance brokerage.
12:02I didn't know what he was up to, and I ended up signing some dodgy paperwork.
12:06I trusted my uncle, and it almost ruined my life.
12:10Why did you change your name?
12:12I only did it for work. I didn't want to be associated with that side of the family.
12:15It also makes it hard to look into your background.
12:17Yeah, I suppose, but that wasn't the reason.
12:22You can go now. Krista and I need to talk.
12:31Look, I'm sorry. To both of you.
12:42I think he's telling the truth.
12:44Tess, it's corporate fraud.
12:46I know, but since he's been working for me, he hasn't put a foot wrong.
12:51This is Syncast business, not Lassiter's.
12:53And as someone who has received so many second chances, I would have expected a little more empathy.
13:06Thanks for fitting me in.
13:07You sounded anxious on the phone.
13:09Ah, yeah, that's one word for it.
13:12Yeah, I don't really know what's going on with me.
13:16Um, I mean, things were going really well.
13:21And, um, and I was happy.
13:24Um, I am happy.
13:28I'm very happy with Therese.
13:30It's just I've been having these really, uh, weird feelings.
13:35Can you tell me when they started?
13:38Yeah, after I spent some time in my old house.
13:41Um, the pergola fell down and I offered to help Cara, my neighbour, the new owner.
13:48Um, I offered to help her fix it.
13:50You lived in that house for many years, is that right?
13:53Yeah, nearly 30 years.
13:59Anyway, uh, she was asking me about my life.
14:02And, you know, just making conversation.
14:05I started telling her about my past relationships and it just kind of, it kind of struck me just how crazy my life has actually been.
14:15You've been through a lot.
14:18Yeah, and then I get these reminders about Sonia and Dee, my first wife.
14:25And it's just been snowballing from there.
14:29I can't stop thinking about them and I'm thinking about Melanie and I'm thinking about Therese.
14:34And you just said you're happy with Therese?
14:37Yeah, no, I am.
14:39I'm very happy with Therese.
14:40But we are very happy.
14:42I mean, yesterday she came up with the idea of taking my last name, so becoming Mrs Rebecca.
14:50And of course I said that was great because it should be, right?
14:57But I get hit with another one of these feelings.
15:02Do something for me.
15:05Close your eyes.
15:08Don't think of anyone.
15:12Just describe the feeling.
15:17Any words that come to mind.
15:38Yeah, I can't.
15:53So what's like the actual deal with watering?
15:56Is it like every day, once a week, once a month?
15:59Depends on the plant.
16:03Maybe some of the people in your mum's nursery could help.
16:06You know, you could come with and give me an intro.
16:09It'll be a good seed for the day.
16:11Hey, hey, I'm just trying to find some sage advice, all right?
16:15How was that? Was that very good?
16:17Stop, you're so cringe.
16:20What, then you'll do it?
16:24Hey, you said that you hadn't been there for a while.
16:28Years, actually.
16:30Isn't it like just around the corner?
16:34Yeah, I used to go all the time, but at some point...
16:39I don't know, I guess it just made me sad.
16:44Um, can I ask how long it's been since your mum died?
16:51Almost seven years.
16:54We don't need to go, just forget I said that.
16:58We don't need to go, just forget I said anything about that.
17:01No, I'm glad you did. I'm okay to talk about her.
17:05I like it, actually.
17:08So maybe it might be a good thing to go see your mum's nursery?
17:12I think it might be.
17:19Sorry I'm a bit of a mess right now, as you can see.
17:24This is a safe space, you don't need to be sorry.
17:29I've already put two people in an uncomfortable position, Carl and Melanie.
17:34You really don't feel like you can speak to Therese?
17:37No, I will.
17:39I hate withholding things from her.
17:42I just, I want to know what's going on with me first.
17:46I don't want to make things worse again.
17:54Am I having a midlife crisis? Is that what this is?
17:58It's normal for us to reflect on our lives and our choices from time to time.
18:04We've just got to figure out why this is happening to you right now.
18:13In our previous sessions we've talked a lot about Melanie and Sonia,
18:18not so much your first wife, Dee.
18:22And Steph Scully too, if you want to do the full count.
18:25I'd like to hear more about them.
18:29Right, OK.
18:32Well, I mean, Dee was...
18:40Dee was the first love of my life.
18:44And it broke my heart losing her.
18:47You were very young.
18:51I found her again.
18:57Still very difficult to talk about.
19:02I think it would be useful if we did.
19:21Mackenzie.
19:24Uh, yeah?
19:27You know, I did your boss a favor asking him to help with the property sale.
19:32I didn't have to do that.
19:35OK.
19:38He's going to make a few grand for just double checking some papers.
19:42What are you trying to say?
19:45He's going to make a few grand for just double checking some papers.
19:49What are you trying to say?
19:52Well, I'm just not sure why you wanted to go looking into my past and then go running to Krista.
19:57Well, she's my friend.
20:01And I was curious.
20:06Well.
20:09You know what they say about curiosity.
20:16You know what they say about curiosity.
20:21Look, it was a stupid mistake on my part.
20:25And I wanted to tell you first before you heard it from anyone else.
20:30Well, I suppose I'm glad you're being honest with me.
20:33Does this change anything for you?
20:37People have pasts. I get that.
20:41You know, you're taking this really well.
20:44I mean, didn't you say that Mackenzie was your friend?
20:46Yeah, she is. And I love her. But.
20:51I don't know. I see things differently.
20:53Meaning?
20:55Well, life isn't black or white.
20:58Sometimes you need to break the rules to get ahead.
21:03You sound like you're speaking from experience.
21:09Your uncle sounds a lot like my mom.
21:13I mean, she's a good person, but she does what she has to.
21:18How's it working out for her?
21:21Well, she's been with a crypto millionaire for about three years now.
21:25So pretty good, I'd say.
21:29Interesting.
21:32What else do I need to know about you?
21:38I don't like being treated like I'm an idiot.
21:42Holly, I would never treat you like that, OK?
21:47I hate it, too.
21:52Is her movie still on?
21:56Pick me up later for a drive?
22:02Absolutely.
22:08Or maybe you could teach me some of those cool karate chops?
22:11With your coordination, you'd struggle with horse stance. It's for beginners.
22:15OK, well, ouch.
22:18Hey, we don't need to go in if you don't want to.
22:21No, no, I should. I want to.
22:24I don't know why I left it so long.
22:34What's going on?
22:39No, something's seriously wrong.
22:42Why isn't it open?
22:45Dad, he's going to be devastated when he finds out.
22:51Coming up on Neighbours.
22:53I haven't decided yet if I want to enjoy the moment or make a statement.
22:57It's completely trashed and I don't understand what's going on.
23:01Dad?
23:03Tony swore me to secrecy.
23:05Just tell me one thing. Should we be worried?
