00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02Abe.
00:03Car versus tree at speed.
00:04It's the same type of accident.
00:05He did it on purpose.
00:06The op was a success.
00:07Abe's in recovery.
00:08Why don't we go out for dinner tonight?
00:10It's been a long day.
00:11Because of Abe?
00:12The knock-ons of someone doing something like that.
00:14You mean he should have thought about my theatre schedule before he decided to tell himself?
00:17Let's just leave it.
00:18It's not okay!
00:19Harper, how could you not get something like this?
00:21I care about you, Cassie.
00:23You're my family.
00:24I want to make things right between us.
00:26Who's Jimmy?
00:27A friend of yours?
00:28There is a Jimmy in shoulders.
00:31My grief group.
00:32He's just emailed me.
00:33Why does it say that you kissed a doctor?
00:35Tell me it wasn't true.
00:42Why?
00:43I don't know.
00:44I wish that I could explain.
00:47Try.
00:50Well, we have history.
00:51You know that.
00:52And so when we were...
00:54So what?
00:55I can't trust you not to cheat.
00:56No, I'm sorry.
00:57Okay?
00:58I was stressed out and he was a mess.
01:00We kissed for like two seconds.
01:02We regretted it immediately, okay?
01:04It meant nothing.
01:06It was just a stupid mistake on a bad day.
01:10Okay.
01:12So...
01:14Why didn't you tell me?
01:16Because I was sh...
01:18And just...
01:19Disgusted.
01:20You can't hold your so-called online friends, Nick.
01:23Jesus!
01:24And not just about Drew.
01:26Nick!
01:27Those vicious things you said about me and Cassie.
01:29Okay.
01:30I'm sorry.
01:31That is on me.
01:32Okay?
01:33But I was just really low and I felt ganged up on
01:36and I just needed to vent.
01:38Yes, ganged up on by me and Cassie.
01:40Well, just everyone.
01:42I was in a bad headspace.
01:44It didn't mean anything.
01:47I love you, Maeve.
01:50I just...
01:52I mean, how are we supposed to have trust in this house?
01:56Well, Cassie doesn't trust me.
01:59And she looks at me like she hates me.
02:01I wonder why.
02:03No.
02:04Please.
02:05Hey.
02:06Don't.
02:07Don't, Nick.
02:08I'm so sorry.
02:10I'm so sorry.
02:12It's just...
02:13It's a mess.
02:15I betrayed you.
02:17And I...
02:19It won't happen again.
02:22But it's not just us you betrayed, is it?
02:27Does it happen now?
02:31Please don't.
02:32She has a right to know, Nick.
02:34Their marriage is already so rocky.
02:37No, it...
02:39It would just make things so much worse.
02:41If we could just deal with this by ourselves
02:44and just leave them out of it.
02:46Drew feels awful.
02:47He's so upset.
02:48And so damn well should be.
02:50He's been running around throwing accusations out about Harper
02:53and now he does...
02:54Yeah.
02:55He does this.
02:56Yeah, he's spinning out.
02:57He's spinning out, okay?
02:59And telling Harper we just hurt her
03:02and make things worse.
03:05Please.
03:06Please, just...
03:09Just don't do it.
03:17Please.
03:28Stage, you are on fire.
03:30Oh, thanks, babe.
03:32Oh, literal fire.
03:34Hello, you.
03:36It's all going here, I see.
03:38I hope you're hungry.
03:39Probably was until he walked in here.
03:41Hey, you need to concentrate on writing those names
03:43and work in order and...
03:45What is that?
03:47What is it?
03:48Uh, what was it?
03:49R.I.P.?
03:50Uh, it's Sarge's one-point special.
03:52Use the rest of my chart.
03:53Yeah, I hope that's okay.
03:54It'll blow your head off.
03:55How do you spell Joaquin?
03:56Oh, my God, Billy.
03:57You can't keep telling me your names.
03:59Naz, are you going to play celebrity?
04:01It's baby's first game.
04:03Oh, yeah.
04:05I'm pretty tired.
04:06I probably won't be much fun.
04:07You'll probably be better than me, man.
04:08It's like charades, but with words,
04:10which sounds pretty dumb.
04:11Hey, let's...
04:13I think it's exactly what you need.
04:14Just unwind me a bit.
04:15All right, guys.
04:16Move your plates.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:18Move all this paper and crap.
04:19But we haven't finished.
04:20Straight into the game after dinner, okay?
04:22Naz, sit down.
04:23Take a seat.
04:24Don't be shy.
04:25Get in there.
04:26All right, and we're going to have
04:27our highlights and lowlights of the day.
04:29Sorry?
04:30Mm.
04:31Uh, you can have the most
04:32because I used the rest of your pickle stock.
04:34And you can start.
04:35Why don't you go first, okay?
04:36What's your lowlight of the day?
04:44Drew.
04:46Busy schedule today?
04:48Same old, same old.
04:50Nothing challenging or interesting?
04:53Depends what you send us from E.D.
04:56Maybe we need to challenge ourselves a bit more.
04:59How do you mean?
05:00Well, I mean, when was the last time
05:01we tried something new?
05:02We got takeout from that South American place.
05:04I mean, like, you know, like, a sport
05:06or learning something together.
05:08And you know,
05:09it's not like we're going to go out
05:10to a sport or learning something together.
05:13As in take up skydiving together
05:15to spice up a marriage?
05:16Well, that's an extreme example.
05:18And I don't think we need to spice it up.
05:21We'll just...
05:22Get it off life support?
05:24No, don't.
05:25Don't what?
05:26I know it's really hard to be positive sometimes,
05:28but I am trying.
05:29Sorry, I know you are.
05:31It's not easy for me either,
05:32all of these reminders of Owen.
05:34And what I want, more than anything,
05:36is just for us to be okay.
05:39Sorry.
05:40Sorry, coming through.
05:48Drew.
05:56Coffee?
05:58Breakfast?
05:59Can you just back off and give me some space?
06:01Okay.
06:03But, hey, when can we talk?
06:06Don't you think you've said enough?
06:10Oh.
06:11You're up early.
06:13Morning.
06:14Must have been a late one last night.
06:16What makes you say that?
06:17The mess.
06:18Oh, no.
06:19All good.
06:20Oh, my God.
06:21Well done, Gordon Ramsay.
06:23That was so good.
06:27You can choose the game tonight.
06:29Tonight?
06:30No, sorry, I can't.
06:31Hey, I'm late, Sheriff.
06:33Oh, I'm going to...
06:35I'm going to...
06:38Oh, I'm going to miss you.
06:40Morning, all.
06:42I'd better get going.
06:43Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:45Take this.
06:46Might be a few bitty bits, but it should be all good.
06:48Oh.
06:49No, seriously, it's way too spicy for me anyway.
06:53Thanks, H.
07:07He's awake now?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Has he said anything?
07:11No, he hasn't said a word to anyone.
07:13That'd be right.
07:15Abe's been through a lot of trauma,
07:17but he's recovering well.
07:19He'll be visited by Psych once he's medically cleared.
07:21Maybe he'll communicate more then.
07:23Maybe.
07:24Or maybe he'll get behind the wheel again,
07:26aim for another tree.
07:28You're sure it wasn't an accident, aren't you?
07:31Finlay.
07:34Finlay.
07:35Eva.
07:36Have you just been visiting him?
07:38Only got this far. He's not talking, apparently.
07:40Maybe it's too soon.
07:42Give him some time to get his head around things.
07:44You think so?
07:45Definitely.
07:46Has he got family support?
07:48They've been notified.
07:49And the Psych team?
07:50Yes, they're nearby.
07:51Then you've done everything you can.
07:53Maybe leave it for a bit.
07:55Come back later, yeah?
07:56Sure.
08:07What are you doing?
08:09I'm trying to get a hold of Finlay.
08:11He's not answering.
08:13He's not answering.
08:15He's not answering.
08:17He's not answering.
08:19He's not answering.
08:21He's not answering.
08:23He's not answering.
08:25He's not answering.
08:27He's not answering.
08:29He's not answering.
08:31He's not answering.
08:33He's not answering.
08:35He's not answering.
08:37He's not answering.
08:40He's not answering.
08:43He's not answering.
08:46He's not answering.
08:51Cool, so just sign there.
08:54How's the new living set up going?
08:55Great.
08:57Everyone happy?
08:58So happy.
08:59The happiest little home there is.
09:01Well that's awesome. I'm stoked for you guys.
09:03I wasn't sure how Nas would go with the whole
09:05flooding situation, but I think he's into it.
09:07Well, with you guys, what's not to love?
09:09Exactly. Here he is.
09:11Ah, I hear the new set-up's going well.
09:13So far, so good.
09:15Well, I will be thinking of you both
09:17while I'm slaving away on my own in Peet's tonight.
09:19On your own?
09:21This man has a much-deserved night off.
09:23So go, celebrate, you two.
09:25What is going on, and please do not lie to me.
09:27I was planning on going back to my place tonight.
09:29What do you mean, your place?
09:31My old place, the apartment.
09:33The place you moved out of?
09:35Yes.
09:37So how are you going to do that?
09:39I'm technically still renting it.
09:41Okay, so you have moved in with me,
09:43but you were keeping your place...
09:45What, just in case?
09:47Yes. No, no, I don't mean it like that.
09:49Cool. All good. You get back to me
09:51when you get your story straight, yeah?
09:57You're very quiet.
09:59Sorry, just concentrating.
10:01And get Abe off your mind?
10:05Nope.
10:07He's alive.
10:09And if you're right,
10:11that it was two attempts...
10:13Well, what else could it be?
10:15Worst luck in the world.
10:17And he's got guardian angels looking over him.
10:19And you're one of them, Billy.
10:21No. Not me. I've done nothing but let him down.
10:25You really haven't.
10:27You've exposed years of abuse
10:29and helped lots of people.
10:31Not just the victims,
10:33but their families. Everyone.
10:35Yeah, maybe some, but...
10:37Not Abe.
10:41I stirred up stuff
10:43he just wanted to forget.
10:45And how many others like him?
10:47Billy, no.
10:53I'm okay.
10:55I'm okay.
10:57You don't need to see me like this.
10:59Yes, I do.
11:01You never have to hide your feelings from me.
11:03We're friends.
11:07Does Phil know how deeply
11:09this is affecting you?
11:11She wants to be there for me.
11:13Yeah, I can see that.
11:15She really cares about you.
11:17She loves you.
11:19It's just easier
11:21with you.
11:23Well, you know it all anyway.
11:25Yeah, but I know how hard it was
11:27to tell me.
11:29But you got over that obstacle
11:31and every other one.
11:33Yeah, I don't feel very over
11:35anything right now.
11:37Hey, I just think you need to release this pent-up
11:39emotion so you can be there for your friend.
11:41You think?
11:43Yeah. Abe needs you.
11:45Someone who really understands.
11:47So go and find him.
11:49Let him know you care.
11:53Simon Tunney?
11:55Yes.
11:57Hi, I'm Drew, one of the surgeons here.
11:59Now, from your scan, I am guessing
12:01you've face-planted on the road.
12:03Yeah.
12:05This is where helmets come in.
12:07He was wearing one.
12:09Okay, great. We'd be looking at even worse damage.
12:11Now, what we have here is what we call a
12:13tripod fracture
12:15involving your eye socket, your cheekbone
12:17and your upper jaw.
12:19You will need surgery to stabilise that,
12:21to help it heal properly and to reduce the pain.
12:23You need to review his pain relief.
12:25How is the pain, Simon,
12:27on a scale of 10?
12:29I'll say 7.
12:31Okay. You've had 8 milligrams of morphine.
12:33I'll chart another 5. Copy that.
12:35Is there a problem?
12:37No.
12:39One moment, Simon.
12:41Could we...
12:43Sorry.
12:49What's up?
12:51Have I done something?
12:53No.
12:55Why are you giving me the attitude?
12:57I'm not.
12:59So I'm just being paranoid?
13:01It's not my fault if you've got a guilty conscience.
13:03But why would I have a guilty conscience?
13:05I don't know, Drew. You tell me.
13:07Uh, Maeve, can I get you to help in recess, please?
13:09Yeah, happy to. I'll take over here.
13:11Uh, what's going on?
13:13What? With you and Maeve.
13:15I don't know.
13:17Really? There's nothing I should know about?
13:19No idea.
13:31What's up, boss?
13:33It's me, Philly.
13:35Nah, it's cool. You don't have to talk.
13:37You probably don't even want to see me.
13:39But I'm here.
13:43Yeah, we can just sit. I don't care.
13:45Watch some games or something.
13:47But...
13:51If you do want to talk,
13:53just whenever.
13:55You can say anything to me, also.
13:57I get it.
14:03I just want you to know you're not alone.
14:05There's a way through, yeah?
14:15Maeve knows?
14:17She does.
14:19Why the hell did you tell her?
14:21I didn't. Someone broke my confidence
14:23and told her I cheated.
14:25Oh, brilliant. Wait.
14:27Was it Monique?
14:29No. Why?
14:31She's been giving me funny looks lately,
14:33for you kissing me.
14:35I don't know. But now Maeve is going to tell her everything.
14:37I asked her not to, okay? I begged her.
14:39It'll be the last straw, Monique.
14:41We'll be done for.
14:45Philly!
14:47Oh, hey, Maeve.
14:49You look a bit more cheerful.
14:51Yeah, yeah. Madonna gave me the push to visit Abe.
14:53That's good.
14:55I kind of just poured it all out.
14:57I mean, she knows a lot of that stuff,
14:59obviously.
15:01I just feel a lot calmer now.
15:03Were you still beating yourself up
15:05about it, not being able to help him?
15:07Sorry, I don't know if that's okay to ask.
15:09You can ask.
15:11I guess so, yeah.
15:13So what happened?
15:15Abe and I talked a lot.
15:17It was all the same stuff I went through.
15:19It's real hard to get into, but yeah.
15:21He's agreed to see the psych team,
15:23so I'm glad I pushed through.
15:25Yeah, that's really brave.
15:27And that is good that Madonna
15:29helped you work that out.
15:31Are you okay?
15:33Yeah, of course. I've got to go, but I'll catch up with you later.
15:35Okay, bye.
15:51Monique?
15:53I'm here.
15:55Humiliated.
15:57I am so sorry.
15:59Then why would you keep that from me?
16:01And why would you move in here
16:03if you don't even want to be here?
16:05No, I do want to be here.
16:07But what, you thought you'd just keep a second apartment
16:09just in case you get a better offer?
16:11No, no, absolutely not.
16:13Then what is going on?
16:15Because we're way too early in our relationship
16:17for you to be lying and sneaking around behind my back.
16:19Honestly, if a friend told me
16:21that they were in this situation, I would tell them
16:23to run for the hills.
16:25It's not that I can't, it's just
16:27sometimes at the end of a long day
16:29I need silence.
16:31And this place, it's fun, it's great,
16:33and you're here, and that's the best part.
16:35But it's not exactly quiet.
16:39Great.
16:43And there's something else.
16:45What?
16:47You've got a secret family?
16:49No.
16:51I guess I was worried.
16:55Worried about what, that you're going to get sick of me?
16:57No.
16:59I was scared you'd get tired of me.
17:01Why would you think that?
17:03I don't know.
17:05Isn't that what happens in relationships?
17:07I don't know.
17:09No, I don't go into a relationship
17:11with that assumption.
17:13Look, I saw you freak out
17:15this morning, I just...
17:17It was because of bloomin' dishes.
17:19It kind of was.
17:21Just the whole thing.
17:23You're very new to me living with a partner,
17:25and I just...
17:27I don't know.
17:29No, I'm scared too.
17:33Really?
17:35Yeah.
17:37This is the first time I've ever done anything like this.
17:39Yeah, right.
17:43Look.
17:45Keep the apartment
17:47if that's going to make you feel better, okay?
17:49But just...
17:51If you ever feel like this,
17:53just talk to me about it,
17:55because there's a high chance that I'm feeling like that too.
17:59Yeah, I will.
18:01Yeah?
18:03We're in this together, you know.
18:05We're in it together.
18:07And we're going to be great.
18:09And if we're not, then...
18:11Then we'll just talk about it.
18:13Yeah.
18:17Mmm.
18:21Sorry
18:23if I made you feel like
18:25you were on the outs today.
18:27There's nothing to be sorry for.
18:29We're still new.
18:31Yeah.
18:33I'm still trying to impress you, I suppose.
18:35Kind of wanting to hide all the bad stuff.
18:37The weak stuff.
18:39Have you ever been weak?
18:41Well, I wasn't handling Abe, that's for sure.
18:43That's a lot to navigate.
18:45Yeah.
18:47But...
18:49I do want to open up more.
18:53So we have no secrets from each other.
18:55Yeah.
18:57I'd like that too.
19:03Hang on.
19:05Don't go down there.
19:07Wow. Someone's been cooking.
19:09Yeah, yeah. Mon whipped up
19:11her signature creamy pasta. It's really good.
19:13Um, I left you some on the bench.
19:15Thanks.
19:17I have some news.
19:21What?
19:23I gave notice on my apartment.
19:25I'm officially a one-house guy.
19:27Really?
19:29Nice snail commitment.
19:31So do I.
19:33Aww.
19:35Right, you guys, snuggle in.
19:37Should we clean up first?
19:39No, no, no. We'll do it tomorrow.
19:41Oh, well, you guys cooked. I can clean.
19:43Come on. TV time, TV time.
19:45What about rats?
19:47Oh, we'll just let them feast.
19:49It'll be fine.
19:51And if you're still stressed afterwards,
19:53then we can stay up all night cleaning.
19:55You're the best.
19:57One episode, and then I'm cleaning,
19:59and then you can help me unpack my list box.
20:01You bet.
20:15Can I get you anything?
20:17Uh, my sanity back?
20:19Felt like I was losing my mind today.
20:21Yeah, that's on me.
20:23I'm sorry.
20:25Um, I just, I wanted to
20:27tell you that...
20:29No, no, can we not talk about this tonight?
20:31Please, I am exhausted.
20:33Sure.
20:35Exhausted by the lies,
20:37the secrets.
20:39It's all just revolting.
20:41No.
20:43You didn't tell Harper?
20:45No.
20:47No, I did not tell Harper.
20:49I wanted to.
20:51I'm sorry.
20:53Yeah, you said that.
21:05Jesus, Nick.
21:07Just play nice, okay?
21:09Okay?
21:11If she changes her mind, we are...
21:13Yeah, I gotta go too.
21:15Bye.
21:17Hey, mate.
21:19Hey, mate.
21:21All good?
21:23Uh, just over it, actually.
21:25What?
21:27Life.
21:29Dude.
21:31It's just a lot.
21:33Mate, I didn't realise
21:35it had gone so bad.
21:37It hasn't.
21:39I'm fine, I'm just tired.
21:41Having a whinge.
21:43You know I'm here for you, but maybe we need to step it up a notch.
21:45Get a professional on board.
21:47No, mate. All good.
21:49Thank you, though.
21:51Oh, hey.
21:53Are you joining us for a drink?
21:55No, thank you. I'm just picking up takeaways.
21:57You guys go for it.
21:59Okay. Night.
22:01Sure you can't stay for one drink?
22:03No, no, no. You go ahead.
22:05I've got Muscle Girl.
22:09And then I have to work
22:11with bloody Drew
22:13and try and avoid Harper or Shift
22:15just so I can keep your nasty little secret.
22:17I'm sorry, okay? What else can I say?
22:19Your lies are turning me into a liar, Nick.
22:21That's the sick part.
22:23Anything. If it helps Harper, please...
22:25Oh, it's not about Harper
22:27and Drew, Nick. This is about us.
22:29Okay? Your refusal
22:31to forgive Cassie and...
22:33They're a twisted support group
22:35putting them ahead of me. Nick, you're white.
22:37That is not true.
22:39I mean, at least they listen to me.
22:41Why won't you listen to me?
22:43For God's sake, stop fighting.
22:47Who's that? Probably Harper and Drew.
22:49Noise control?
22:53Cassie, hi.
23:03You
23:07You
23:11You
23:15You
