00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I am scared about history repeating.
00:05Now I just need to figure out what that Tess is up to.
00:08Yeah, no one should even care about Heath's past.
00:10So why are you backing me?
00:11Kirsten, I'm not the man that I was when I left.
00:13The agent wants me to give it up. Rent the site out as something else.
00:16I'm not looking for a company to clean it up.
00:18Why don't we do it?
00:19Nell and I thought that we'd message some friends to come and help.
00:22You like JJ? And you knew?
00:24Irene Rising could take over the lease of the nursery.
00:27Get out! Go!
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 become good friends
01:21I'm sorry.
01:27Just tell me what's going on.
01:32The look on his face.
01:38I told you he was going through something.
01:45Hey, how was the working day?
01:47Oh, don't ask.
01:49Surely the nursery is salvageable?
01:52The problem isn't the weeds.
01:56Toadie, again.
01:58Again? What does that mean?
02:00Well, the nursery's always been a bit of a sensitive spot for him.
02:04Not that it's any of my business.
02:06Nor do I want it to be any of my business.
02:09A bit hard when we all live next to each other.
02:11Exactamundo.
02:12Which is why I've just put out an accommodation S.O.S.
02:16Oh.
02:17I have adored living with you both.
02:20But I've got to get off Ramsey Street.
02:22Living across the road from Toadie is just getting a bit much.
02:28That sounds heavy.
02:30Yeah, it was.
02:31I feel sorry for Therese.
02:34You see, this is why I just don't garden.
02:36There's no good come to it.
02:38There you go. Rules to live by.
02:40I'm out. See you in ten k's.
02:45It's not that I don't care about my neighbours.
02:49It's just that the whole time he was talking, all I wanted to do was this.
02:59How long does it take him to run ten k's?
03:01Ages.
03:02Like an hour?
03:04I've never actually timed it.
03:06I just don't want him walking in on us.
03:08Do you want to go to my room?
03:11This whole place is just so jammed.
03:17Do you want to go to your house?
03:18Oh, Krista's home.
03:21Why do I feel like a teenager again?
03:24We need our own place.
03:27Okay.
03:35I wouldn't say I know him well.
03:38But well enough to get a bad feeling about him.
03:40I'm guessing Krista told you about him hiding his conviction.
03:43Yeah, it was a red flag if I ever saw one.
03:47Sorry, are you asking me to do something?
03:50No, just report back to me if you spot anything else suspicious about Heath, alright?
03:55Thanks, Mackenzie.
03:57Hi, how are you?
03:58Well, thanks. How was your trip?
03:59It was great.
04:01Yeah, all of that.
04:04That guy never changes.
04:07Classic Paul.
04:12Well, it all started when I was helping Carla with the renovations.
04:16I just started thinking about my past.
04:20About Sonia?
04:22About everyone.
04:25Well, I mean, it's not unusual.
04:29We all think about times gone by.
04:32Yeah.
04:34For me, it's been more than just reminiscing.
04:38It's been overwhelming.
04:40And when I talked to Carl about it, and for the record, he thought that I needed to tell you straight away.
04:46Yeah, well you should have.
04:47How can I?
04:49Especially with everything that I've already put us through.
04:52I just wanted the chance to be able to sort it out for myself.
04:56And when I couldn't, I organised an appointment with Rhonda.
05:04What, you found counselling?
05:06Yeah, a couple of sessions now.
05:09We've just been talking.
05:11What about?
05:13All of my relationships.
05:17Okay, you're scaring me.
05:19Don't be scared.
05:21Please, just, I love you.
05:24You're the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time.
05:27Are you sure you're not doubting us?
05:30Yes, absolutely.
05:32It's the opposite.
05:33This is why I wanted to throw an anniversary party.
05:37Because I love you, I love us, I love our marriage.
05:41What about today?
05:44Why did you get so upset with me?
05:47I don't know.
05:51But I know that you were just actually doing something that's really generous and really beautiful.
05:56And I'm grateful.
06:01I know I don't have a right to ask this.
06:05But can you be a bit patient with me?
06:09Do you think you can do that?
06:16Okay, so top priorities are a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite that has the double sinks.
06:24Hers and hers.
06:25And a pool.
06:27A pool?
06:28Yeah.
06:29Pools are nice, but spas are luxe.
06:31Why not both?
06:33You're a genius.
06:35Like, why would we not get both?
06:36That would be crazy.
06:38It would be crazy.
06:43Hey, it's not crazy that we're moving in together though, right?
06:46No.
06:48This isn't a new relationship.
06:50We both know what we want.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Yeah, yeah, exactly.
06:54And what about Aaron?
06:56Yeah, I've been thinking about that.
06:58How would you feel if we all moved in together?
07:00I know that's not total privacy, but it is the best thing for Isla.
07:05Yeah.
07:07Yeah, that works for me.
07:08Okay.
07:09Do you think he'd go for it?
07:11Well, he was thinking of buying number 32 when I was at the sale.
07:13So that tells me he's open to the idea of moving.
07:16Okay.
07:17I don't know.
07:18I guess we'll just have to ask.
07:19Great.
07:20Okay.
07:21Great.
07:22So amazing.
07:33Thank you for being so good about this.
07:37Well, getting upset isn't going to achieve anything.
07:40No.
07:42I've done enough of that today.
07:51Nell and Hugo wanting to know if it's safe to come home.
07:56I'm sure they've eaten grease monkeys out of burgers by now.
08:00That's the other reason why I didn't want to say anything.
08:04Kids deserve stability, not a father that's a wreck.
08:08Hey, you're not a wreck.
08:13Does this mean you understand?
08:17It means I'm trying to.
08:28Hello, stranger.
08:29Hey, Melanie.
08:31I was surprised to get your text.
08:33Yeah, well, I saw your post.
08:35So you're still having trouble trying to find somewhere to live, hey?
08:37Yeah, me and the rest of the population.
08:39Yeah.
08:40Well, I tell you, there's an Eclipse apartment vacant here.
08:42It's yours if you want to rent it.
08:44Way out of my price range.
08:46Well, I could probably arrange for it to be within your budget.
08:49What's the catch?
08:51No catch.
08:52Let's just call it for old time's sake.
08:55No, seriously, what's the catch?
08:59Melanie, when I was in New York, I caught up with Tracy,
09:02my cousin, Rosemary's daughter, and we had long chats about loss and regret.
09:09You know, I can't make up for every bad decision I've ever made,
09:11but at least I can try to atone.
09:14If you're talking about what happened with Krista and Eden,
09:17I know you were trying to help me.
09:19Yeah.
09:21So, will you accept the apartment?
09:25Gladly.
09:27Thank you, Paul.
09:28No worries.
09:34Have you seen Therese lately?
09:36No, why?
09:38I just wondered.
09:39Thanks again, Paul.
09:40Brilliant.
09:45Kooky.
09:50Okay, he's coming.
09:51You ready?
09:52Yeah, why muck around?
09:53Hey.
09:54Hi.
09:56Hi.
09:59Do you want to do the honors?
10:01Oh, baby, I thought it would sound less crazy coming from you.
10:04No, it's not crazy.
10:06We established that.
10:07If you're going to tell me something, can you please just spit it out?
10:10We want to move in together and get a place of our own.
10:15We know that it's kind of fast, but.
10:18But it's not fast because it's our second time around and we both know what we want.
10:22Yeah, it's okay.
10:24I kind of saw this coming anyway.
10:27Everything's moving really fast.
10:29We can explain to Isla what shared custody looks like.
10:33I mean, she gets two houses and two bedrooms.
10:36Aaron, we want you to move in with us.
10:41Like maybe we could rent somewhere or even buy.
10:44We are a bit stretched on that front because all our money's gone to the vineyard.
10:47Yeah, but you were looking to purchase so we could work something out.
10:50Yeah, I mean, I was hoping to invest the money into something solid, but.
10:56I guess I got to think about it.
11:01What am I thinking about?
11:02I've thought about it.
11:03Let's do it.
11:04I'm in.
11:06That's pretty generous of you.
11:09No, I think Melanie will make a good tenant.
11:12Well, she'll look after the place.
11:22Why don't you go over and say hello?
11:24No, I'm catching up with my son.
11:26Why are you avoiding her?
11:28Why on earth would I want to do that?
11:31You tell me.
11:32Oh, hey.
11:33Thanks for coming.
11:34I hope I haven't dragged you away from me.
11:36No, no, no, that's fine.
11:37I wanted to check in with you anyway.
11:39Well, I'm okay.
11:41But, um, Toadie's going through a lot.
11:45And apparently Carl's across it too.
11:47Yes, yes, and just so you know, he hasn't betrayed Toadie's confidence to me.
11:53Susan, am I meant to be worried?
11:56Well, Toadie's opening up to you.
11:59Well, Toadie's opening up to you.
12:02He's having counselling.
12:03I'd say they're two very positive steps.
12:06Has he said anything else about the nursery?
12:08Only that he's not totally opposed to the idea after all.
12:13But he needs time to think about it.
12:17You know what's funny?
12:18This whole time that we've been married,
12:21I've always thought Melanie was the threat.
12:23And never, ever, ever thought that Sonia would be an issue.
12:29What?
12:30Oh, just remembered, of course.
12:33Melanie has been in this same situation.
12:48Hey, mate.
12:49I'm in here.
12:52Didn't have to come and check on me.
12:54I'm okay.
13:00How's Therese?
13:03Uh, hurt and confused.
13:05But I did tell her everything that's going on.
13:09This is how things get better.
13:11We let them out.
13:13You didn't mean like a tsunami though, did you?
13:16How did Therese react when you told her about Mel?
13:22There was so much to say, I didn't even get to the Mel part.
13:30I'm going to take the recycling out and then we'll get Isla, yeah?
13:33Yeah, thank you.
13:34Thanks.
13:35Oh, Isla's going to be on a sugar high.
13:38It's her birthday party.
13:39Fun.
13:40Do you want to toss a coin and see who deals with that tonight?
13:44Hey, you know that is going to be the beauty of all three of us living together, right?
13:48Yeah, we can tag team.
13:49Oh, yeah.
13:54Hey, Nick.
13:56Hey, Nick.
13:58I know this isn't a big revelation or anything, but without David, I've just been drifting.
14:05But, you know, like buying a house and setting up a new home, it's something that I can focus on.
14:11So I just wanted to say thank you for including me.
14:16Hey, we're a team.
14:18You have to stop believing that.
14:20Yeah.
14:21Yeah.
14:22You know, I just never knew what the dynamic would be like without David.
14:27I always thought that he was the glue that sort of just made everything work.
14:32No, Isla's the glue.
14:34We're our parents.
14:35We both want what's best for her.
14:37Yeah, I can see that now.
14:39Our family's going to be different without David, but I'm still going to be a part of it.
14:44Of course you are.
14:46Come here.
14:51I love you.
15:22Right.
15:27What's this?
15:29Um.
15:31Okay, so I was, like, having a bit of a brainstorm before.
15:35Of, like, hypothetically what I might do if I was to ever put the cafe up for sale.
15:41I didn't realise that that was something you were considering.
15:44I love making coffee, but I don't know about this as a forever job.
15:48I think I just needed to get away from IT before.
15:51Do you miss IT?
15:52Yeah, definitely. I miss the mental challenge.
15:55And I have a degree in it, so now that my past is out in the open, it's like, why not put that degree to use?
16:01Why have you never talked about this?
16:04I don't know. It's been on the back of my mind for a while.
16:07Then I was talking to Dex about starting over after stuffing up, and it just got me thinking more and more.
16:13Not that it'd be easy for me to enter that industry again.
16:16That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try.
16:18Yeah, but who can bounce back from a reputation as bad as mine and succeed?
16:25I actually think we know someone who has.
16:30So you're just playing the long game?
16:32I'm sorry?
16:33Well, you've very pointedly ignored Trace the whole time we've been here.
16:36Yes, that's because she's made herself very, very clear, and I'm simply respecting her choice.
16:42And how many times have I heard that before?
16:43You know, Leo, even I get the message eventually.
16:46No, no, I lost Trace and she found somebody who makes her happy, so good on her, I say.
16:53Oh.
16:54What?
16:55Apparently I'm in demand. I'll see you later.
17:06You all right?
17:08Oh.
17:10You all right?
17:12Yeah, I was just thinking about what you said before. I might go and follow it up.
17:18Oh, OK, yes, well, keep me posted.
17:27Hey.
17:29Um, listen, I just wanted to ask you a question.
17:34So why are you asking for my advice?
17:35Because you've got a rap sheet longer than the Yarra River, yet you always manage to reinvent yourself.
17:41I didn't try to manipulate the world through artificial intelligence.
17:44Yeah, you did one worse. I heard you went to jail in the 90s.
17:47Ah.
17:49You know, I think your challenge is going to be your resources.
17:52Oh, meaning that I don't have money and power?
17:55You do know you have to earn those.
17:57Yeah, OK. Well, if you have anything else for me, just let me know.
18:00Yeah, so how was your trip? Had a good time in New York? Yeah, it was lovely, thanks. Glad you asked.
18:05All that.
18:08Oh, hey, Kiri.
18:10Kiri, hi.
18:11Hey, I just wanted to say hello, Uncle Paul. How are you?
18:15I'm good, I'm good. Sit down. Come on, let's talk.
18:25Hey. Any requests for dinner?
18:27Any requests for dinner?
18:31Um.
18:34You know, I saw Mel at the waterhole.
18:37I didn't realise things were so tense between you two.
18:43She was a little cagey on the details. What am I missing?
18:47I was meant to tell you earlier, but we were just talking about so much.
18:51I never got around to it. I'm sorry, really. Genuinely.
18:57Mel said something to me a few weeks ago, and I blew up at her, too.
19:03Like you did with me?
19:05What did she say?
19:07That my marriage to her was doomed from the start. That's what she thinks.
19:13Wow. That must have stung.
19:17It wasn't hurt, exactly.
19:21Well, then why did it bother you?
19:23I don't know.
19:28Hey, I don't know, but that's what I'm working on with Rhonda.
19:36We'll find out.
19:38Good. Good.
19:41But you know, this whole thing with Mel happened weeks ago.
19:46She knew about this whole crisis that you're having with your exes.
19:52You know, I was just kept in the dark.
19:55Do you have any idea how that makes me feel?
20:00Please, don't read into this.
20:05The one thing that I am sure of is the only thing that matters, and that's that I love you.
20:17I love you, too.
20:24Hey, I've got a whole file of my favourite houses as inspo, by the way.
20:31I feel like Aaron should be here for this.
20:34We're just getting a head start, you know, on the research. It's fine.
20:39Okay, they're in my files here. I'm just going to get us some drinks.
20:46Is this it?
20:49Honestly, we can't afford any of them, but it's the vibe, right?
20:54Yeah.
21:00I think I clicked on the wrong file.
21:06What is it?
21:08There's a list here of everything that Aaron's done.
21:11All the mistakes that he's made.
21:14Why do you have this?
21:19You glad?
21:22What have you done?
21:24I don't know.
21:30Coming up on Neighbours.
21:32You seem more energetic.
21:35Well, I am, and I've got a plan to win back Leo's trust in the vineyard.
21:39We can't keep going on like this. Just ask her out if that's what you want.
21:42You'd be okay with that?
21:44Babe, what are you going to do? Are you going to tell Aaron?
