00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I knew losing the nurse who was in the cards.
00:04I can't keep babysitting forever.
00:06I need a real job.
00:07Rhys is empowering me to fully represent
00:09the Syncast Corporate Assetters.
00:11I need to sell Harold's, like, ASAP.
00:13If you don't sell it in time,
00:15I'll step in on your behalf.
00:16I really do not think that you should be
00:17taking on Hazard's problems.
00:19You can't veto my decisions.
00:21But I hope that we can work through it together.
00:23Yeah, me too.
00:24Sorry, I gotta go.
00:25Now one prisoner has been stabbed.
00:30♪ Neighbours
00:33♪ Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38♪ With a little understanding
00:42♪ You can find the perfect blend
00:48♪ Neighbours
00:51♪ Should be there for one another
00:55♪ That's when good neighbours
00:59♪ Become good friends
01:11Don't try and talk.
01:12You've had a stab wound to the stomach.
01:14There's free air under your diaphragm.
01:16His heart rate is 80 over 60.
01:19Let's get him on fluids and 50 micrograms of ibufenginol.
01:22You should start to feel better when the meds kick in.
01:25No, thanks.
01:27I've gotta go.
01:36Stevie.
01:38Have you got a second?
01:39Um, I need a consult.
01:40Now?
01:41Yeah, I, um...
01:43I can't treat him.
01:46It's personal.
01:47It's family stuff.
01:48Of course.
01:50Thanks.
01:54So, your dad and I are touching base today about my involvement
01:58after you and Hugo move out.
02:00When will that be?
02:02I'm not sure yet.
02:04I'm in no rush to leave.
02:10Um...
02:12I've got a study session in the library in a bit,
02:14but I'll be home after that.
02:15Yeah, I've got to go.
02:17Oh, Christa.
02:18Hey.
02:19Congratulations on the new role.
02:21That means a lot coming from you.
02:22So, how's it going?
02:23Uh, I won't give you any grief.
02:25No, it's great.
02:26We work well together.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:31It's still weird.
02:32Even when they think I'm not listening, it's pretty awkward.
02:36And I'm still kicking myself about telling Dad about Christa.
02:39It's fine.
02:40It's fine.
02:41It's fine.
02:42It's fine.
02:43It's fine.
02:44It's fine.
02:45It's fine.
02:47Okay, you've got to stop this.
02:49You've got to focus on your own stuff.
02:50How's the, um...
02:51How's the job hunting going?
02:52Well, that's just depressing.
02:54I'm not qualified for anything decent.
02:56No.
02:57Forget qualifications.
02:58You've got to approach it like an escort.
03:01Are you suggesting I become an escort?
03:03No, no, no.
03:04I'm not saying that.
03:05I'm just saying, you know, confidence.
03:07Here.
03:09How about this?
03:12What?
03:13The Lassiter's day spa job?
03:15Well, they want an all-rounder, and I'm just a makeup artist, so...
03:17Were you not just listening to me?
03:19Well, the escort bit did kind of throw me.
03:22What I'm saying is just...
03:23Fake it till you make it.
03:25Okay?
03:27No, here's your chance, okay?
03:28Up, up, up, up, up.
03:29What, now?
03:30Yes, yes, yes, okay?
03:31Shoulders back.
03:32Chin up.
03:33And...
03:34Go get them.
03:36Hey, Christa.
03:37Hey.
03:38I heard you're looking for a new, um...
03:40beautician for the Lassiter's day spa job?
03:43We are.
03:44Why are you standing like that?
03:47It's just the way I stand.
03:50Um, I was wondering if it's too late to apply.
03:52No, it's not.
03:53I'm surprised that you haven't already.
03:55Really?
03:56Mm-hmm.
03:57Well, I've just been doing stuff.
03:58You know, crossing my eyes, starting my teas.
04:00Great.
04:01Um, well, I'm just heading over to reception, so come and find me when you're ready.
04:04We'll chat.
04:05Cool.
04:13Hey.
04:17Hey, wanna go shoot some hoops?
04:18I'm playing 3-on-1.
04:19Can't, man.
04:20I've got a study session.
04:21Is this some attempt to take the smart brother crown?
04:24Uh, yeah, something like that.
04:33Hey, Nellyfish.
04:34Hey.
04:35You, uh, you got any plans for tonight?
04:37I'm thinking maybe we could all go out for dinner.
04:40You know, go to the good pizza shop with the real ham.
04:44Yeah?
04:47Um, I don't know.
04:49I'd have to see if Therese is okay with being home alone.
04:53Yeah, okay.
04:54All right.
04:57What?
04:58Nothing.
05:02It's good that you're looking after Therese, darling,
05:04but please just remember what Rhonda said.
05:06It's not your job to look after her.
05:10I know.
05:12She doesn't have anyone else.
05:19Um, I'm gonna go.
05:22I love you.
05:24Love you, too.
05:31My special interest is makeup, but I'm all about the glow up.
05:34Good, we've got makeup services on the day spa menu.
05:38Are you interested in diversifying?
05:40Heck yes.
05:41Train me up.
05:42Great, I'd love to hear that.
05:44We'll pay for that, of course.
05:47Wait, does that mean...
05:49Sadie, you had me at glow up.
05:51So I've got the job.
05:53We'll start with the trial, but...
05:55Yes.
05:56Thank you so much.
05:57I promise you won't regret this.
05:59I know.
06:00What's going on?
06:01You are looking at the newest trial employee at Lasseter's Day Spa.
06:05Well, congrats.
06:08Sadie's babysitter, of course.
06:10I have to tell people.
06:12I have to tell all the people.
06:13Okay.
06:17I got the job!
06:18I got the job!
06:19I got the job!
06:30Babe.
06:32I've got news.
06:38Hey, your text message said it was an emergency.
06:40Everything alright?
06:41We thought you were in trouble.
06:42I am.
06:43Gorgonzola's a biohazard.
06:45I should have worn a mask.
06:49What is this an ade of?
06:51Well, I'm going to be coming in for some money soon.
06:53So I decided to share it with you.
06:55And honestly, you guys, you have to eat it.
06:57I don't know anyone else in the world who can stand this much grossness.
07:00The whole of Italy would disagree with your love.
07:02In Australia, you're the only person who can eat it.
07:05In Australia, you're the only two people with this addiction.
07:08Now that's compatibility, eh?
07:10Okay, we get it.
07:11Sledgehammer.
07:12Yeah.
07:14Oh, also, I got a job.
07:16But I'll tell you about it later.
07:18I've got to go to Barron's.
07:20Enjoy your stinky cheese.
07:29She's harbouring some misplaced guilt?
07:32Yeah, probably.
07:35But it smells good, though.
07:37Mmm.
07:40Remember that time that I accidentally fed you the mouldy brie from the back of the fridge?
07:45Because I thought it was blue?
07:46Yeah, accidentally.
07:48Yeah, sure.
07:49It was, I promise.
07:52I knew the whole time.
07:54I just...
07:55I didn't want to embarrass you.
07:59You ate homemade penicillin for me?
08:03Of course.
08:05PHONE RINGS
08:11It's the prison warden.
08:13Apparently, there's been a brawl at Warrena.
08:16A bad one?
08:19Felix has been sent to the hospital.
08:22Oh, Andrew. Okay.
08:26You call the station, find out what happened, and I'm going to...
08:28I'll ring the hospital.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Yeah?
08:35I thought you would have called Abby for a reference.
08:37She's a good judge of character.
08:38She sure is.
08:39Krista!
08:41Did you just hire a total incompetent without consulting me or the day spa manager?
08:45Yes. Okay, relax.
08:47I offered Sadie a trial.
08:48Oh, she has no skill set.
08:51She's almost a fully qualified make-up artist.
08:54Yeah, that's all well and good.
08:55What happens if a client wants a facial or a wax?
08:57Yes, she'll be able to do all that eventually.
08:59I offered to pay for her additional training.
09:02It's not our policy to hire unqualified, inept staff.
09:06And you would know that if you'd bothered to talk to me.
09:08Dad, Sadie looks after your granddaughter.
09:10She's not inept.
09:13All I'm saying is, I should have been consulted.
09:15Yes.
09:17I understand that you're upset,
09:18but I just don't think we should have to run every staffing decision by one another.
09:23You know, I would trust you to work autonomously
09:25if you were capable of choosing the right candidate.
09:27But clearly, that is beyond me.
09:30Look, it doesn't matter.
09:31HR are already processing Sadie's paperwork as we speak.
09:35So I suggest you get on board, because it's happening.
09:45Wow, that was impressive.
09:48If this is what Paul is going to be like now that we're business partners,
09:50I'm going to need my own workspace.
09:52I can't share an office with him.
09:54Just give me the ball.
09:57Hey.
09:58How's Felix?
10:00He's still in surgery.
10:02There's a risk of complications.
10:05It must have been a shock, seeing him like that.
10:09He was in so much pain he couldn't even speak.
10:13So do we wait until he's out of surgery to tell them?
10:17What are you doing?
10:19I'm not doing anything.
10:20I'm not doing anything.
10:21I'm not doing anything.
10:22I'm not doing anything.
10:23I'm not doing anything.
10:24I'm not doing anything.
10:25What are you doing?
10:28What if the worst happens and JJ doesn't get to say goodbye again?
10:32What, do you really think he could die?
10:35It's a possibility.
10:38How is JJ going to feel when he hears that?
10:42Is anything like me pretty confused?
10:46Maybe it is better we hold off.
10:50Keeping secrets hasn't done well for us in the past.
10:53We've got to do things differently this time.
11:00Boys.
11:02We've got to tell you something.
11:06Yeah, righto.
11:07Alright, thanks.
11:09So allegedly Felix wasn't actually part of the brawl until he stepped in to protect a mate.
11:13Then he got a shiv in the guts for his troubles.
11:16Allegedly? So you don't believe that's what happened?
11:19Look, I just need to call Cara and Remy just to get ahead of this for JJ.
11:23No, they already know.
11:25Remy was on shift when he was brought in.
11:28Wait, what? She saw him?
11:30He's in surgery now and their surgeon, it's...
11:33Well, he's one of their best.
11:34Okay, well, look, at least that's something.
11:38Do you want to go see him? I can drive.
11:41No, no, look, this doesn't change anything, Wend.
11:44No, look, we're not going.
11:46We're not going to go.
11:53Felix is out of surgery. He's going to be okay.
11:56They managed to repair the perforation on his bowel without any complications.
12:02That's great news, huh?
12:04Yeah.
12:06He'll be back on the ward soon.
12:08Relatives can go and visit if that's something you want to do.
12:12Is he going to be conscious?
12:14I'd say so. A bit woozy, maybe.
12:17Um...
12:19Yeah, I'd like to see him if that's okay.
12:23Of course.
12:28It's like, now that we're equals, all of that mutual respect and playful banter has just gone out the window.
12:33Playful banter? With Paul?
12:35Yeah, he can be funny when he wants to be.
12:38Look, I'm a little out of my depth, but the best person to ask has just walked in.
12:42No, don't bother.
12:43Therese! Can you come here for a second?
12:46Thanks, Big Mouth.
12:47Oh! Let me guess.
12:50Now that you're his co-counsel, he's being a pig-headed, self-righteous spout-tripper with double standards?
12:56Okay, that was really scary. Were you just on the balcony at the penthouse now?
13:01Look, Paul's always been terrible at sharing his toys.
13:04So, it's not you.
13:06So, what do I do?
13:08Business is a game. To win, you have to play.
13:11So, what do I do?
13:13Business is a game to Paul. You just need to get better at playing.
13:18It's just we've developed a really good working relationship, though.
13:20I don't want to have to fight for his respect all over again.
13:23Yeah, sure. But unfortunately, Paul loves conflict.
13:26And if there's none, he'll create his own.
13:29Oh, good!
13:31And part of sharing Lasseter's with him is learning to enjoy the sparring.
13:35That sounds unhealthy.
13:38Yeah, well, it's the only strategy that works, unfortunately.
13:42I told you she'd be helpful.
13:44Listen, I promise it's worth it.
13:46Paul can be a pain in the ass, but he's also great in a crisis.
13:51Well, that's true. Yeah, he was really helpful when all of that stuff happened with Hope.
13:57You know, I remember when I had cancer.
14:01The Utagawas were doing everything they could to try and get me fired.
14:05Paul fought for me.
14:07Oh, I'll never forget it.
14:10Anyway, I'm lucky to still have Paul in my corner.
14:13That's all I'm saying.
14:23Let's keep him on ampicillin subactin, one and a half grams.
14:26And make sure you monitor his pain level.
14:29Mum, do we need to let him know we're here?
14:31I'll sort it out.
14:35He'll be right by the door.
14:45I don't want a son, and I'm not interested in being a father.
14:51So I mean nothing to you?
14:53No.
14:55I'm sorry, you're just a kid who lives across the street from my brother.
15:01I don't want to be your buddy, and I definitely don't want to be a parent.
15:07You okay, mate?
15:10Yeah.
15:12I've changed my mind.
15:13I don't want to see him anymore.
15:15Are you sure?
15:17Yeah, well, he doesn't want me in his life anymore.
15:19I don't care.
15:20Are you sure?
15:22Yeah, well, he doesn't want me in his life.
15:24Why am I bothering to worry about him?
15:26Because you're you.
15:28No, it's okay.
15:29We can just go.
15:30Yeah.
15:32Come on, let's go shoot some movies.
15:34No, I can still make my session at the library if I leave now.
15:38Yeah, of course.
15:40We can talk at dinner.
15:41Okay.
15:42Come on.
15:50Dad, that's awful.
15:51Should we go see him?
15:53I can give you a lift to the hospital.
15:55No, thanks, mate.
15:56I appreciate it.
15:57But we're actually not going in.
15:59But he's your brother.
16:00Yeah, and we never decided on that.
16:05Why don't I get us a round of drinks?
16:08Cheers.
16:10Dad, he nearly died.
16:12Yeah, I know.
16:13I know.
16:14I know.
16:15I know.
16:16I know.
16:17I know.
16:19He nearly died.
16:21Every time we let Felix back into our lives, it backfires.
16:24Yeah, but going to see him in hospital isn't letting him back in.
16:28And it sounds like he was just trying to protect a friend anyway.
16:31Really?
16:32Look, that's not confirmed yet.
16:34Either way, Felix knows better.
16:37He should not have been involved.
16:39He's a train wreck.
16:41And one hero move doesn't erase the past.
16:44And yeah, you know, I don't regret not going in,
16:47but it was just really freaky seeing him lie there.
16:50Can't imagine.
16:53Knock, knock.
16:54We're studying.
16:57Cool.
16:59I just popped over to get some work.
17:01Tres said that she left it out for me.
17:05Here you go.
17:06Oh, thank you.
17:09I heard about Felix, mate.
17:10How are you going?
17:12Yeah, I'm doing good.
17:13Thanks.
17:15Need anything else?
17:17Um, what was at the door?
17:28I told Megan Haz that they can have their wedding at the nursery
17:31before the new tenant takes over.
17:34I hope that's okay.
17:36Yeah.
17:38Yeah, um,
17:41that'd actually be a nice way to say goodbye to the place.
17:43Yeah, I thought so too.
17:48I'll see you later, babe.
17:56Is everything okay?
17:57No.
17:59But it's, uh, it's getting better.
18:05I'll come over, do you know?
18:06Yeah.
18:07Good.
18:09Thanks.
18:12I'm going to talk to Dad about that outburst this morning.
18:14You can't keep getting away with stuff like that.
18:16Don't worry, you don't have to.
18:17I'm fine.
18:19What, is it all good with the Sadie stuff?
18:20No.
18:21Oh my god, he's still raging about that.
18:23But Tres made me realise that that's probably not such a bad thing.
18:27Tres?
18:29Right now, Paul doesn't have a girlfriend or a wife
18:31and he's bored.
18:33And bored Paul's always looking for a fight.
18:36So I'm going to give him one.
18:39At Sadie's expense?
18:40No.
18:41Don't worry, he won't win.
18:42He knows that Sadie's a great hire.
18:45I just have to give him the time to rail against my decision.
18:49Tres was always good at playing him, I guess.
18:53Yeah, it was actually kind of weird hearing her talking him up like that
18:57after everything that he's done to her.
18:59Well, they're a good team.
19:01Professionally.
19:03Hmm.
19:04Didn't sound 100% professional to me.
19:08You know that door's closed, right?
19:11Deadbolted, locked and never to be opened again.
19:15We'll see.
19:19Okay, now you listen to me.
19:20You need to tone down the grumpy old man routine.
19:23It's way too predictable, Paul.
19:24I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
19:27Oh, cut the act.
19:28You're going to crush that poor girl's spirit.
19:31Lassiter's needs spirit and you not.
19:34Christa's tough.
19:35She can handle a little criticism.
19:36Sure, yes, a little.
19:38But not everyone wants to butt heads every minute of every day.
19:41She's not me.
19:42No, she certainly is not.
19:45Just go easy on her.
19:47For your sake and for Lassiter's.
19:50I still have a sore spot for it.
19:54The hotel.
19:56Therese, I refuse to make any promises that I cannot keep.
20:03Well, promises are a sign of trust.
20:06And believe it or not, I actually still trust you, Paul.
20:11I'll be checking in with Christa.
20:13I'd expect nothing less.
20:15You know, in a lot of ways, I think our life would have been easier
20:20if I hadn't gone back to study.
20:34Don't say that.
20:35You and Dad will get past the Quinn stuff.
20:38He's just taking a back seat to his life.
20:41But then again, I don't think I'll ever get past it.
20:43Taking a backseat to it for Uncle Felix.
20:46He was put us all through a loop again.
20:49Dad's just super hard-line about it.
20:52Well, going to see Felix in hospital
20:55doesn't mean we're letting him off the hook.
20:57Maybe it's just too confronting for him.
21:00No, he's worried about his brother. I know he is.
21:06The warden called me about the melee.
21:09Apparently, some inmates are seeking representation.
21:12Yeah, I heard it's years that there were charges being laid.
21:16Sounded pretty brutal.
21:19Look, it's easier in my line of work to block out what goes on in there.
21:24It's been harder since Felix went in.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Not so easy to turn those big-brother instincts off, eh?

23:02Maybe this is a chance for you and Andrew to reconnect.
23:05How was that?
