00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Felix is being released.
00:04Have there been any issues on the ward?
00:05Not that I'm aware of.
00:06There's another patient I'm worried about.
00:08Wade Furnsby.
00:09Haz is going to be devastated if his parents don't come to the wedding.
00:13If mum and dad could just see what he's built here.
00:15Well, maybe we can show them.
00:17Hope you're not making a move on Therese, mate.
00:20I want to move the kids to Carlock.
00:22Haven't you taken enough from me, Toadie?
00:25I am not leaving my friends and you.
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With 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
01:05It's too much!
01:06It's too much to ask!
01:08We can't leave!
01:08Maybe he'll stop the idea.
01:10I can tell he's made up his mind.
01:11I mean, he says he's giving us a choice, but is he?
01:14Okay, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:16Don't worry.
01:17Okay?
01:18Don't worry about it.
01:20Look, I have waited long enough to be with you.
01:23And I promise that I'm not going to let you go.
01:29Just yesterday I asked if there was anything going on in your life
01:41and you said that there wasn't.
01:42Well, we've mainly been keeping this a secret because of Dex.
01:46You know, it'd probably be best if you give us some space.
01:55Call me later.
01:59You knew I liked JJ.
02:06Yes, I did.
02:07But I didn't know that actually anything was happening, did I?
02:10So here's another reason why you don't want to move to Colac.
02:14JJ is the one good thing happening in my life and you're trying to take that away!
02:20No, I'm trying to do what's best for all of us here.
02:22Yeah, well, it doesn't feel like that.
02:29Well, what an exciting new chapter you are both embarking on.
02:33It has been wonderful watching you both fall madly in love
02:36and may your journey together continue to be full of joy, laughter and devotion.
02:44Now, is that all right?
02:45That was perfect.
02:48Well, why haven't you put your phone away?
02:51I've just got one more question, Mum.
02:55You were one of the victims when all the deepfake stuff went down.
02:59How did you forgive Has when you found out it was his past to blame?
03:03Byron, I really don't think Has wants all of that dredged up again.
03:07No, Mum, please just trust me, you know, speak from the heart.
03:13Well, I was deeply hurt by the whole situation.
03:18I felt violated.
03:21But I suppose after Has was injured and I saw how the community rallied around him,
03:27well, it reminded me that he is a good person who is worthy of forgiveness.
03:33Because the Has that I know today is not the same person who made those mistakes in the past.
03:39No, he is thoughtful, he's kind, he's generous, a truly gentle soul.
03:52Oh, here's trouble.
03:55Why? What did you hear?
03:56No, nothing, it was a joke.
03:59Oh, but it sounds like something's up, Spill.
04:02Yeah, Spill.
04:04I guess you'll hear about it anyway.
04:06I have a girlfriend.
04:11Isn't that one?
04:14Okay, then.
04:16Yeah, we just didn't tell you because...
04:19Well, you've told us now.
04:22Does Toadie know?
04:24Yes, he caught us kissing.
04:30Hey.
04:36I've done nothing wrong.
04:38Nobody said you have.
04:40And why does it feel like I have to explain myself to Dad?
04:43Okay, because he's your dad and he's protective of you and he wants what's best for you.
04:49I'm moving to Colac, isn't that?
04:50Yeah, well, believe me, I wasn't happy when I found out.
04:53I don't want you going.
04:54Good, because I'm not.
04:56Look, I'm not going to try and sway you either way.
04:59Your dad said it's up to you and Hugo to decide.
05:04But is it really?
05:05I mean, if we say no, is he really just going to stay here and be miserable?
05:12I need to talk to him.
05:24Hey, you got a new roommate.
05:27Now that we're starting to recover, they're grouping us in together.
05:30Money saving.
05:33Sucks for you.
05:34Nah, better in prison.
05:36I'm used to sharing.
05:38At least you're getting released tomorrow.
05:39Oh, yeah.
05:41What's the plan with that?
05:42Warren is going to process your release and then arrange transport for you to the halfway house.
05:47I'll come by and drop some stuff off before you leave hospital.
05:51Got a wedding to get to after that.
05:53Oh, who's a lucky couple?
05:54Mackenzie and Az.
05:56Mac got a new job and they're moving to Paris.
05:58Huh, amazing.
06:01I'm happy for them.
06:09Wasn't all bad being on the inside.
06:12It helped me find my faith.
06:14So you're religious now?
06:17Been a huge comfort.
06:21I'll leave you to it then.
06:23See you later.
06:23Yeah.
06:33Took your time?
06:34Thought you must have escaped.
06:37Finally.
06:38Some of us aren't lucky enough to be getting out.
06:40Had a friend smuggle this in for me.
06:54Keep it yourself.
06:55Yeah, I'm no snitch.
07:04There's no doubt about it.
07:05Az put his life on the line to help protect our community.
07:08Without his selflessness and bravery, we would not have been able to arrest Wade Furnsby.
07:14Az may have committed some crimes.
07:16That's in the past.
07:18And that's not what defines him.
07:20He's a good man, a good friend, a good neighbour.
07:24And he deserves every bit of our respect.
07:28Wedding papers are sorted.
07:31Great, thank you so much.
07:34What you watching?
07:35Operation Get Haz's Parents Here.
07:37Ah, has Amira sent it off yet?
07:39Uh, no, but I've just got to edit in Mum's video and then she will.
07:43Play some more.
07:46Oh, we can't thank Haz enough.
07:47He protected our family against a deep fake video.
07:50Yeah, and more than that, he's just been a great support to our boys.
07:53Oh yeah, we're so grateful for the positive impact he has on our kids.
07:56We just wish there were more people like Haz in the world.
07:58I'll see you later.
08:12Uh, thank you again for yesterday.
08:15I was there for the kids.
08:17Yeah, but you still could have read me the riot act in front of them.
08:19Not just because I didn't, because I mean, I'm not furious with you.
08:22Yeah.
08:24Look, I'm not discounting what you've said about trauma.
08:27But I still think you're running away.
08:31I hope one day you understand.
08:34Tony, are you uncomfortable with Nell seeing JJ?
08:39Because remember what you told me months ago about Sonia?
08:44No, no, no, no.
08:44I was upset because she didn't actually tell me that they were seeing each other.
08:49Because we, we both know that you can sometimes get a little confused with your feelings.
08:53So maybe you should have that conversation with Nell.
08:56Go for her sake.
08:59That's Nell.
09:00She wants to have a chat.
09:04I'll see you later.
09:09Okay, what's Jared done now?
09:11Look, it's been a rough 24 hours.
09:12I wouldn't know where to begin.
09:15You know, he had a crack at me the other day.
09:18Yeah, he warned me not to take advantage of you while your guard was down.
09:22What?
09:24He's in no position to warn others.
09:26And he keeps turning other people's lives upside down.
09:38Dex wasn't expecting the you and Nell news either, huh?
09:41Nope.
09:42Do you want me to play mediator?
09:44Oh look, I think I need to handle this one.
09:46You're not gonna like it though.
09:50All right, you get one free punch.
09:51Just not the face.
09:53Go.
09:56Look, I know you're upset I'm with Nell.
09:58It's not the best feeling in the world.
09:59But I'm more upset you didn't tell me.
10:02You've been keeping more secrets.
10:04I'm sorry.
10:05We made a pact to be up front with each other.
10:07I know, I know.
10:08It just seemed easier and Tony was a factor too.
10:10I wouldn't have told him.
10:13Are you gonna be okay?
10:18Oh!
10:20Now I forgive you.
10:21Yeah, right.
10:22Do you?
10:23Your punches are getting better, I'll tell you that.
10:25You wanna play?
10:26Yeah.
10:33Hey um, how do you feel about Colac?
10:38I like the idea.
10:41Do you hate me?
10:44Are you really prepared to leave all your friends?
10:47I can make new ones.
10:51Hey buddy.
10:52Hi, see you after soccer.
10:54Oh yeah, okay, yeah, great.
10:55Bye.
11:00Hey.
11:04I'm sorry that you felt like you couldn't tell me about JJ.
11:10It was mainly because of Tex.
11:12Yeah, but we still held back.
11:15Even after all the chats we've had.
11:21I don't want you to feel that way.
11:23Honestly, I don't have an issue with him.
11:27I don't.
11:29It's not even about you.
11:31It's about me.
11:37When I feel like I'm losing someone, I overreact.
11:44So the idea of me dating JJ, you think you're going to lose him?
11:52I don't think he's going to lose me.
11:56Back when you first started hanging out, it did remind me a lot of your mum.
12:01And the truth is, is that I nearly lost her before I ever met her.
12:06Because of her addiction?
12:07Yeah.
12:09She was your age when she had Callum.
12:11And she was hanging out with some, some bad people.
12:14And things got so bad that she gave him up and left him with your great-grandmother.
12:21This is a completely different situation.
12:24The point is, is that the decisions that she made as a teenager
12:27haunted her for the rest of her life.
12:30And even put our marriage in jeopardy at times.
12:32You can't compare JJ to the ones who led mum astray.
12:35Yeah, I'm not.
12:37I'm not now.
12:38Okay.
12:39But at the time, you have to admit, he'd been involved in a robbery.
12:45And you were starting to wag school.
12:48So, of course, I am going to be worried, right?
12:54I'm not going to get pregnant.
12:58Oh, you're very funny.
13:00Very funny.
13:04You're both kind and decent kids.
13:06And you've made us parents proud.
13:09But I would be lying if I said that my fears weren't still there, on some level.
13:16And it's not about JJ.
13:18It's about everything that has happened to us here in Errinsborough.
13:24So you're still determined to move us away?
13:28Darlene, I just want the chance for you to understand my reasons.
13:33It's still going to be your decision.
13:43I can go get the cake.
13:46Okay.
13:48Hey, um, any word from your parents?
13:52Uh, zilch.
13:53I'm not even sure they've watched the video.
13:56Well, fingers crossed.
13:58Hello.
14:00Hello, honeymee.
14:02I, um, just got those speakers for you.
14:06Cool, thanks, Jane.
14:07Are you sure that it's okay to borrow these from the school?
14:09Oh, yes, I insist.
14:11Well, that's the reception music sorted.
14:17Hi.
14:18Hi.
14:19Can you, um, tell Aaron I'm not going to go to the wedding?
14:22I don't want him to feel uncomfortable and I'll just look after Isla for the day.
14:26Well, Aaron and Leo have already organized a sitter for the girls and
14:30well, they're really excited about it.
14:35Okay, well, um, I'm not going to go to the wedding anyway.
14:38I want to bring the mood down on Mac and Haz's big day.
14:46Hey, do you want me to drop these off at Harold's when I go to get the cake?
14:50Um, I'll do it, actually.
14:52I just realized I need to head that way anyway.
14:54Okay.
14:56Hey, is, um, is everything okay?
14:58Yeah, I'm fine.
14:59Yeah.
14:59I'll see you soon.
15:07It's not moving to another planet.
15:08It is only just a couple of hours down the road.
15:11So I move it all?
15:13Okay, well, for starters,
15:15we have to find somewhere else.
15:16We can't keep living here.
15:18So we'll find a house in the area?
15:21Yeah, we could, yes.
15:23But we're still going to be surrounded by all of the memories.
15:28The same triggers from the past.
15:30You're in a good place with Mel and you'll get there with Therese.
15:34I know you will.
15:36Darling, it's not just about me.
15:38It's about you and your brother, too.
15:42We've got a whole extended family in Kola.
15:44Grandparents that you love.
15:47Do you love them?
15:49Yeah, and there's Stoney and your little cousins, too.
15:52I mean, this is going to be a great opportunity to spend some more time with them.
15:59Is there any part of you that can see any advantage?
16:06Of course, it'd be good to be closer to Nana and Pop.
16:09I'm not getting any younger.
16:12That is a factor in my thinking, too.
16:15Hugo wants to go.
16:20Well, that's something.
16:22But it still has to be a family decision.
16:26All three of us.
16:28Just, you know, think about it some more, all right?
16:33Before you say no.
16:45There was a time I could never imagine falling in love again.
16:48But here I am.
16:51You made me believe that I was worthy enough.
16:54You taught me what true love is.
16:57And I know that you'd be happy that I found it again.
17:01But no matter where I am in the world, Hendricks,
17:07you will always be with me.
17:14I don't know what else to tell them.
17:44What's wrong?
17:46My parents watched the video.
17:48It wasn't enough to convince them to come.
17:52So Trevor's had his bath, and so have I.
17:57Haz, I'm so sorry.
18:01Wait, what's up?
18:05Your parents aren't coming to the wedding.
18:08We're still not over what happened in the past.
18:11I don't understand.
18:12They were fine when I spoke to them on the phone last week.
18:15Forgiveness hasn't been a straight road for them.
18:17You know, some days they're able to move on, but others not so much.
18:21Yeah, but this is my wedding.
18:23I know, but they're still dealing with a lot of pain.
18:26And you haven't been home yet to make amends in person.
18:29That hasn't helped.
18:31Your dad is angry that we're going to Paris first
18:34before making things right with the family.
18:38I'd make peace with my brother not being there,
18:39but I never thought mum and dad would be a no-show.
18:45Hmm.
18:51So they're releasing Felix tomorrow morning.
18:55You good, bud?
18:58Apparently, he's found God.
19:01You're joking.
19:02Yeah, it's not unusual for prisoners to turn to religion while on the inside.
19:07But in Felix's case, I have my doubts.
19:10Yeah, he can do whatever he likes.
19:12It makes no difference to me.
19:15Do you want to go get the footy?
19:17Yeah, sure.
19:19Thanks for keeping us updated, Andrew.
19:21Sure, mate.
19:24He better stick to his word and stay away.
19:27And I don't like the sound of this religious stuff.
19:29It's a stunt to make us think he's changed.
19:30Yeah, possibly.
19:32Well, it's not going to work.
19:34There's no way we're going to let him back into our lives.
19:45I'm just going to go wash my hands.
19:47Sure. All right, so I'll grab us a table.
19:56I spoke with Nell.
19:58How'd it go?
20:00Yeah. Yeah, we worked our way through all the Sonia stuff.
20:04She's still not on board with the move,
20:05but at least the lines of communication are open now.
20:09Yeah.
20:13Draves.
20:16Why are you warning Paul about hurting me?
20:21I thought I was doing the right thing as a friend.
20:23But we're not friends.
20:25And how dare you interfere in my life?
20:27I was just trying to look out for you.
20:28Yeah, well, you lost the right to that when you ended our marriage.
20:32We may be having to put a united front when it comes to the kids,
20:36but as far as the rest of my life goes,
20:38you need to stay the hell out of my business.
20:41Yeah, sure.
21:02I made you a special breakfast.
21:04Oh, thanks, man.
21:06No worries.
21:07Shoes, polished shirt, clean, bus, organized.
21:10Wait, what bus?
21:12Therese is lending us one from Irene Rising.
21:15Hopefully get everyone home safe.
21:18Look, sorry about today and your parents not being able to make it.
21:23But it doesn't matter.
21:25It's going to be epic.
21:27Amira told me about that video that you made.
21:30Thanks, man. I appreciate the effort.
21:32Nah, just being the best man.
21:34Sorry I didn't do the trick.
21:37Okay, guess who was on a plane and landing in an hour?
21:41No way.
21:42Yes way. Mum and Dad are coming.
21:45What made them change their minds?
21:46I mean, they were still debating whether or not to come.
21:48And then this random butterfly lands it on Dad's lap and it wouldn't leave.
21:52And Mum remembered how you said butterflies are an important symbol to Mackenzie.
21:55They took that as a sign and they booked their flight.
21:57That's unbelievable.
21:58I told you that was going to be epic.
22:00Have you got everything you need?
22:14The wedding is today.
22:18It's my last chance for payback before they leave.
22:21Coming up on Neighbours.
22:23Hey, um, did you know that Wayne Fernsby was in hospital?
22:26Well, I reckon he's planning something nasty.
22:28It's the end of an era.
22:30It's crazy to think how far I've come.
22:32I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for everyone on this street.
