00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02It takes real patience and grace to navigate the world like you do.
00:05Seriously, you shouldn't care what people think.
00:07I had this intense conversation with Quinn about cultural differences.
00:12I'm happy that you found a friend that understands.
00:14We do have a staff member celebrating a very special birthday today.
00:17We've spent far too long in this hospital.
00:20Let's just promise to never do it again to each other.
00:23He's thinking about giving up Harold's and going back into IT.
00:27Nurse!
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect blend
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59Become good friends
01:05Please just stay with me.
01:08She's tachycardic. Let ICU know we're on the way.
01:10She just said she was feeling really hot.
01:12Fever with a high heart rate and low blood pressure. It's most likely sepsis.
01:16Transfer ASAP!
01:17Is she going to be okay, Remy?
01:19Put her on a drip and get her some antibiotics. She'll be fine.
01:21Okay, but can I please stay with her?
01:23Not for the moment. Take good care of her, okay?
01:25Alright, moving. Moving.
01:29Saw Therese out for a walk this morning. She looked pretty spaced out.
01:32Yeah, as you would be.
01:34Just seems to be disasters everywhere at the moment.
01:36Hey, what was that staff meeting?
01:38Is that anything I need to worry about?
01:40No, they were just letting people know there's counselling available because of Heath and Tess.
01:45Sorry, I have to call Remy.
01:47Oh, why? What's up?
01:50Mackenzie's just taken a bit of a turn.
01:52Ma's going to do a double.
01:54Won't be a minute.
01:55Sure.
01:57Grace. Grace.
01:59Hey, your Ma is a super-doc. She'll sort it out.
02:04So what time's the surprise party this Saturday?
02:06Uh, well, I guess that's all off now.
02:09What?
02:10Yeah, I mean, she doesn't even like having a birthday.
02:12And we were supposed to set up at her and Mack's place and we can't do that anymore.
02:15Can't she just have it somewhere else?
02:17Do you think anyone really wants a party then?
02:19Also, I have to set up everything because Ma's working now and Dex is doing his group assignment.
02:24Alright, well, it's your call, but I do think it would be a nice chance for everyone to get together.
02:30Well, I'm with Aaron and not just because I already made the cake.
02:33I mean, we could host too, coming in.
02:36Look, it'd be a good time for some community spirit.
02:39Yeah, we'd be honoured.
02:41And people want to be around each other at times like this.
02:44You know, birthday, always a good excuse.
02:47You just let everyone know the change of venue and I'll text you some more jobs.
02:51Okay, yeah, great. Thank you.
02:54But I'm going to need you in on this too, so...
02:56Just delegate as much as you want. You've got all that other stuff to get done.
03:00Oh, it's just some materials to get into my mentorship placement.
03:03You focus on that, okay? Don't worry, we've got you.
03:06Okay, it's going to be great.
03:07It's going to be great.
03:13Hey, hey, any updates?
03:14No, nothing apart from sepsis. I've just been waiting.
03:17This is scary. I might text Mum.
03:19Hey, I'll look for somebody, okay? I'll find them.
03:21Hey, here's Remy. What's going on?
03:23We've got her stabilised. Her blood pressure is coming back up.
03:26That's good. Okay, is she awake?
03:29No, not yet, but we hope she'll be soon.
03:31For the moment, stable is all we can say.
03:35We just need her to start responding to the antibiotics before we can be more definite about her recovery.
03:40Mac is so strong. She's got this.
03:42Yeah, it just sounds like we need to wait for the meds to kick in.
03:45But Remy, what if she doesn't respond?
03:47There is no reason to think the worst at this stage.
03:49Hey, hey, hang in there. We will know more soon.
03:54Thanks, Remy. We'll stay with you.
03:56Yeah, good idea.
04:11Hey.
04:12Hey.
04:13What have you been up to?
04:14No, nothing. How's Mac?
04:15We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed for her.
04:18Hey, let us know if anything happens to her.
04:20Yeah.
04:21What's that? Did someone write you a birthday letter?
04:23Uh, me.
04:26Remy and I have this tradition where every five years we write our future selves a letter.
04:30We put down a goal, a challenge and a dream for the future self.
04:35Love that. Did you tick it all off?
04:37Uh, I was going to build us a house.
04:39You built us a new sunroom.
04:42I was going to try a lot more new things. Could have done better at that too.
04:45Hey, it's never too late to start.
04:48True.
04:54You know, I keep seeing that sign for axe throwing on Anson's corner. We should do that.
04:57Oh yeah?
04:58Yeah, sure. I'll see if they've got slots for us now.
05:01I know, I know. It's not like me to want to do an activity on my birthday.
05:05Yep, that would be the first time in my lifetime.
05:08Come on, I'm not that bad.
05:10Plus, I think it's just a good day to get out of our heads.
05:12Yeah, no, absolutely, totally.
05:14Um, won't Dex kill us if we go without him though?
05:17Yeah, but we'll get more turns if we do it without him.
05:21Ah, well, sure. I guess it's only an hour or so.
05:24Well, it depends how much I like it.
05:26We'll go home first, because I want to get gloves.
05:33It's a good thing they're not keeping her in the ICU.
05:35Hey, it says here getting off to septic shock straight away is a good thing. It massively reduces complications.
05:40Complications like what?
05:42Doesn't matter. Golden rule. Ignore the internet, hey?
05:46What? No, tell me. I can't ignore it now.
05:49Okay, I'll look it up.
05:51No, don't. Don't, don't, don't. It's just sometimes people have organ damages, like in their heart.
05:56But that won't be Mac. That won't be Mac.
05:58Okay.
05:59What do you mean?
06:00Well, this is positive.
06:02We just got her latest bloods and her infection markers are already down.
06:05Heart rate and blood pressure are looking better also.
06:08That's fantastic.
06:09Yeah, I think cautious optimism is appropriate.
06:12And what about her heart? You know she had issues before?
06:15Oh yeah, we would have seen if that was affected. I think we can rule that one out.
06:20She is doing as well as we could hope.
06:22I'm just going to run some more tests. It's only precautionary.
06:25I'll just get you guys to step out while I do them.
06:27Can I please stay?
06:29I think it's best if you take time out.
06:32Yeah, come on, mate. I haven't been talking to you, I think.
06:35And you haven't got an assignment today.
06:37Not now.
06:38Come on. Would Mac seriously want you failing a semester while she's getting better?
06:42Remy, I promise I'll stay out of your way, but let me stay.
06:45I promise. I will call you as soon as she starts to wake up.
06:48Then you can all come straight back in.
06:56Remy wouldn't say she's optimistic without a good reason.
06:59No, I know. She just doesn't want us to worry.
07:03It's been a big morning.
07:05Maybe I can get an extension on my assignment later.
07:09Yeah, well, that's up to you, sweetheart.
07:12But maybe Mackenzie might need you more later when she's feeling a bit better.
07:17How come he's here?
07:20Oh, yeah, he's helping me with my first mentorship placement.
07:24I told you, remember? I'm going to be assisting with a Grade 8 art class.
07:28I will be upcycling leftover corks, foil and bottle tops.
07:34Let's bag them up.
07:35No, no, we have to separate them from the recycling first.
07:40Oh, of course. I made us a working B playlist.
07:43Oh, please, Tommy, that's not his dance.
07:45What am I, an idiot?
07:47Not usually, but I know that you'll put some other stuff in there.
07:50There might be a couple of remixes, but they just bring the whole stuff to a new level.
07:56How many songs does it take to bag up corks and bottle tops?
08:02Oh, no, we're going to try and be quick.
08:03I mean, I still need to stay on top of the prep for Cara's party,
08:06and lucky I've got Quinn or I would be in stress city.
08:12Time you go.
08:18Look, you're in shock, OK? There's no right way to think here.
08:21Yeah, but how are you so sure that she's going to be OK?
08:23Because Remy said, OK, she will give us a call when Mack wakes up.
08:28It was just her face when she passed out. Like, I had this flood of panic.
08:31Yeah, OK, OK, I get it. You're still in shock from the other day.
08:34I guess so, but now I'm just dealing with this awfully.
08:36No, compared to what it has, OK?
08:38The way I see it, I think you're dealing with this absolutely fine.
08:40I'm pretty sure Mackenzie didn't freak out and turn into a stupid mess when I went into a coma.
08:44But, yeah, she did a bit.
08:47Well, she ran my business probably better than I could.
08:49Look, Mackenzie is strong, OK?
08:52That's how I know she's going to be OK, OK? And you are as well.
08:56I'm going to have to be for her.
08:59I'm going back in there. I can't leave her there by herself.
09:01Wait, wait, wait. Before you go, let me just get you a coffee or something, OK?
09:04Like a has quality coffee, yeah?
09:06I'm fine.
09:09You don't have to be fine, OK?
09:12Now, I'm getting you that coffee. Deal with it.
09:23What's up, Sades?
09:24You got time to chat?
09:25Not really, unfortunately.
09:28Work has got me in, signing off on all these.
09:30And your mother has got me on a lot of jobs for the party.
09:33I've got to get the cheese and wine. I've got to clean the bathroom.
09:36And I would love to sit on my drum kit.
09:38Can't she do any of that?
09:40Er, no. Not while she's got all that stuff going on with the uni.
09:43Is that important, is it?
09:46Yeah. I mean, prepping for something that she's literally been packing her dachs for.
09:51I know. But?
09:55What's that face for?
09:59I saw her, and she's got Quinn helping.
10:03It's turned into a good old hangout sesh.
10:07OK.
10:09You made her a playlist?
10:12Sades, is there an issue here?
10:16There's something going on between Mum and that guy.
10:19When we walked into the party, he seemed to be into her.
10:22And what? Now he's trying to impress her with his music taste?
10:27Come off it. You know exactly why they get on so well.
10:31Yeah, but I'm not wrong.
10:33They've got a really vibey vibe.
10:37I don't know what that means.
10:39Dad.
10:41Oh no.
10:42What's up?
10:44I have to go, but think about what I said.
10:53Hey.
11:02I got your text about the locale change. Is everything going OK with the party?
11:05No, not good. Still got a lot to do. Mum's making me go extra.
11:09Is that why she's dressed like a female lumberjack? Lumberjill?
11:13Nicolette!
11:14Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
11:15I need you.
11:18Is it Mackenzie?
11:19No, she's improving.
11:21Byron texted.
11:22Why are you so frazzled?
11:24My make-up folio is due in two days, and my model just bailed on me.
11:28She said her cat died or something.
11:30I've used that one before. Hungover.
11:33OK, well, I need someone now. Today.
11:35You got a couple hours?
11:37I was at daycare.
11:38I desperately need some me time after everything went to hell with Kiri.
11:42I'm really sorry.
11:43It's all good. I'll find someone who wants to get cleansed.
11:46Sadie, Sadie, Sadie.
11:47What about Mum?
11:48I really need some more time to set up for the party,
11:50and I think that could be the perfect distraction.
11:53She's definitely a blank canvas.
11:57Hey, guys.
11:58Hey.
11:59Hi.
12:00What's up?
12:01So, she wants three bottles of the Savvy Bee, not the one with the orange label,
12:05and three bottles of the Yurikobe Pinot.
12:08Cheers.
12:09You're so dated.
12:11Excuse me, Salt and Pepper are the queens. They're not dated.
12:15I don't think we can be friends anymore.
12:16Don't cut me off. I'm just kidding.
12:18No, well, I'm really, really insulted.
12:21I just wanted to see you react. You're so easy.
12:23I'm going to come for David Guetta soon, if you're not careful.
12:25David Guetta?
12:26Mm-hmm.
12:27Do you know anything about me?
12:28Yeah, well, I just wanted to see you react.
12:30Babe, hey.
12:32So, I've organised everything for the party.
12:34Just need to do a quick clean.
12:37So, we're done here?
12:38Yeah, I feel pretty ready and prepared.
12:40Now we can have a good day for Cara.
12:42Cool, great.
12:44Actually, you know Cara from uni.
12:46Do you want to come to her birthday?
12:47Sure, I'd love to.
12:50Don't feel obliged to, mate.
12:51It's just close friends and family.
12:54Oh, I love family stuff.
12:57Do you want me to bring anything?
12:58I make a great pav.
13:00Fancy.
13:02Well, I'm learning to impress a girl.
13:04I bet it worked.
13:06But don't lift a finger.
13:08You know we've got this covered.
13:10One sec.
13:13Tonight.
13:18My parents called.
13:21I told them we'd come to visit.
13:24Not straight away, but soon.
13:28Give you some time to get back on your feet.
13:32I'm going to take the best care of you.
13:37Mac.
13:40It's okay, I'm here with you.
13:42Let's get married in Paris.
13:44What was that, love?
13:48Let's get married in Paris.
13:52What did she just say?
13:54I think it was just the meds talking.
13:57Okay.
14:03No, no and more no.
14:04Pretty please with the cherry on top.
14:06Mum, it's cake.
14:07It's what it represents.
14:08What, a delicious treat and the chance to look super hot?
14:11Do I look like I want giant eyelashes and big red lips?
14:15Okay, there's more art to it than that.
14:17The module I'm doing, it's called Editorial.
14:19And it's actually very elevated.
14:21Green and orange eyeshadow like weird Barbie.
14:24We'll workshop something together so you feel more comfortable.
14:27You know, I thought you said you were trying new things, Mum.
14:29Not being closed-minded.
14:30Yeah, but that's why we're going axe throwing.
14:32Yeah, I know, but is axe throwing really out of your comfort zone?
14:35Also, you're all about women supporting women.
14:37Mackenzie just woke up.
14:39That's really good.
14:40That's great news.
14:41Maybe she can be my model.
14:43I mean, all she has to do is lie there.
14:46Okay, fine.
14:49You've had a bad day.
14:50I guess I can help you out.
14:52Just as long as it's not too embarrassing.
14:55As if I would.
14:56You'll be a whole new you.
14:58Yeah, that's exactly what I'm worried about.
15:00And no smoke eye.
15:02If there's no smoke, there's no fire.
15:05And Mum wouldn't touch Sandy's bribe, so I thought you might like it.
15:08Oh, you are absolutely the MVP today.
15:11Hey, thanks.
15:12I thought we might have to cancel the party.
15:14Oh, it's not like it's been that hard.
15:15Mum's probably suffering the most, actually.
15:17Oh, we might need to take her axe throwing to make up for it, though.
15:21I wish I could have a camera on this.
15:24My face can't breathe.
15:25Get it off.
15:26I hope she wears it to the party.
15:28Don't hold your breath.
15:30Felicity knows the change of address?
15:31Yeah.
15:32Is Therese coming?
15:33Have you spoken to her on it?
15:35No, I wasn't sure if I should go over there or something.
15:37Oh, I'm sure Nell would appreciate seeing you.
15:40Yeah.
15:41Okay, I am nearly done.
15:43Do I have to pick up anything on the way?
15:45No, no, don't even worry about that.
15:46Me and Andrew and Wendy have got that all sorted.
15:48Thanks, then, Mum.
15:49Oh, you are so kind, all of you.
15:52I really didn't have to do this.
15:54I think everyone wants to get together.
15:56Yeah.
15:58I think having friends around will make everyone feel better.
16:01Yeah.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Okay.
16:04See you at the party.
16:05See you at the party.
16:06See you at the party.
16:12Yeah, Ambia says she loves my project
16:14because I bring something of myself to it.
16:16Ah, sounds good.
16:19And students like to engage, you know,
16:21they engage more when they see that it means something to you personally.
16:25Yep, yeah.
16:27That's just the first part of the idea.
16:30I have to really make Ambia see that I can make it work in the classroom.
16:33Sorry, love.
16:35Who's Ambia again?
16:38Andrew.
16:40She's my mentor.
16:42You met her at the presentation ceremony.
16:44You took our photo.
16:45Yeah, no, of course.
16:47Right.
16:48I want to check the bathroom one more time.
16:50Cool.
17:06Ah.
17:11All done.
17:15Hey, um, what is going on between you and Quinn?
17:21What do you mean?
17:23Can you please just be straight with me on this?
17:29When am I not being straight?
17:31Wendy.
17:36You know, sometimes people's deepest feelings come out in moments like these.
17:40You're hilarious.
17:42She probably won't even remember.
17:44And if she doesn't, are you going to tell her?
17:46Well, I just don't think I'm going to lead with that after she's nearly died twice.
17:54Hey, you.
17:55Hey.
17:56What?
17:58Do you know what happened?
18:01Well, you had an infection in your wound.
18:04And you went into septic shock.
18:06But it's all good.
18:07Remy's all over it.
18:09You don't recall anything about it?
18:13Nothing.
18:14That doesn't matter.
18:18Wait, like not even anything from just now when you were waking up?
18:23Maybe, maybe voices.
18:26Why?
18:27No reason.
18:29I'm just so glad that you're awake.
18:32You're awake.
18:33And you're yourself.
18:34It's a miracle.
18:36I scared you again.
18:37I promised you I wouldn't.
18:39You couldn't help it.
18:42Did you survive, okay?
18:44He was a trooper.
18:46Hey, I'm going to go tell Remy that she's awake.
18:49Alright.
18:50Thanks, man.
18:57It's been a day.
19:00What?
19:03I'm just so, so happy.
19:14You know I bonded with Quinn.
19:16You wanted me to.
19:18Because I didn't realise that he was into you.
19:22Which I assume you know.
19:25Yes, but it didn't impact our friendship.
19:29Him having the hots for you.
19:32He was very respectful.
19:34Really, which is why you haven't shut him down?
19:37I have.
19:39When?
19:42Did something inappropriate happen?
19:46At the traffic light party, you know, he thought I was single.
19:49He found out I wasn't and then he just backed off.
19:53He's a good person, Andrew.
19:55He really is.
19:58So there's nothing else?
20:03No.
20:09There might have been a tiny, small moment which I pulled back from, I swear.
20:21Coming up on Neighbours.
20:23I hate what I am putting all of them through.
20:25I hate seeing you all go through it.
20:27You're not going to use all that stuff, are you?
20:29You ready to get your glamour?
20:32You've got to be kidding me.
20:34I don't know where things stand between us.
20:36Yeah, I've been thinking about that.
