00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02He needs to stay away from anywhere that JJ might be.
00:04JJ?
00:05Hey, I have a girlfriend.
00:07Now it feels like it's all ending.
00:09Hey, well that's not true.
00:10Might be time for me to move out.
00:11I need to find a new place like yesterday.
00:13Are you dating?
00:14There's one guy that I am messaging.
00:17Mum, please.
00:18I'm not your personal babysitter.
00:20Did you want to take Isla for the afternoon?
00:22A little more notice next time would be nice.
00:24Sure.
00:26You're gonna be okay.
00:30Neighbours
00:32Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:41You can find the perfect plan
00:47Neighbours
00:50Should be there for one another
00:54That's when good neighbours
00:57People have good friends
01:04Lucky we have a doctor on speed dial.
01:07Thank you for coming so quickly.
01:08The burns aren't bad.
01:09But her fingers might sting for a couple of days.
01:11Okay, so no physical scars.
01:13Just emotional ones.
01:16Hey, what's happened?
01:20I called him.
01:22Everything is under control.
01:24There was just a little incident in the kitchen.
01:27I thought she was at Jane's.
01:29Mum had a meeting and I asked you
01:32but you didn't want to cancel on your mate.
01:33I would have cancelled if I'd known
01:35she'd be hanging in a commercial kitchen.
01:37Didn't have another option, Aaron.
01:38Why don't we go get some sharp knives for her to juggle?
01:40That'd be fun, right?
01:41Okay, this doesn't seem like the place
01:43or the audience for this, does it?
01:46You know what, darling?
01:47Mummy and Daddy are gonna look after you now
01:49and they're gonna use their kind voices all the way home.
01:58And the Ireni Rising community bus
02:01calls to the complex once a day.
02:04What was this called in our day?
02:07The, um...
02:08Oh, the Halifah.
02:10The Scarlet...
02:11Ah!
02:12Oh, and Lou's place before that.
02:16Remember when you were jealous of mine and Lou's friendship?
02:19Yeah, I remember you two winding me up mercilessly.
02:22You were particularly upset about some producer's tickets, I recall.
02:26Oh, Susan.
02:28Harold, hi.
02:29Um, are you all right being in here?
02:32Oh, of course, this is where it all happened.
02:35Well, I can't really avoid the place, can I?
02:38Actually, I was hoping that I might bump into...
02:41Oh, never mind, never mind.
02:43We're all safe and sound now, that's all that matters.
02:45You know, seeing as it all had a happy ending,
02:49have you ever thought of turning your experience into a musical?
02:52You know, the hapless assailant,
02:55the pillar of the community, trapped in this...
03:00Oh, too soon?
03:02Ooh.
03:03Don't let me interrupt your outing.
03:05I've got to meet up with Carl.
03:07Yeah.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Oh.
03:12We don't have to hang around these oldies, do we?
03:15HE CHUCKLES
03:20Felix.
03:22Hi, I was hoping I'd see you.
03:24Um, these are just a small token of my gratitude.
03:29Oh, what for?
03:31You save the day so often, you've already forgotten.
03:34Oh, that.
03:36Hey, how's Holly doing?
03:38Oh, she's a bit bruised, but we're taking good care of her.
03:42Just like you took care of us in there.
03:45Well, I was just doing my big, epic deal.
03:49You willingly walked into danger for us.
03:51That's a very big deal.
03:53Well, it was God's will that put me in the right place
03:56at the right time.
03:58Maybe.
04:00But you were the one that promised I'd be safe
04:02and you kept that promise.
04:04Right.
04:06Well, thanks for this.
04:14Isla's asleep.
04:17Isla's asleep.
04:21So there's no more hiding behind excuses, Nick?
04:24Can you please just save yourself the lecture?
04:27The blame box has been ticked.
04:29Now can we move on to making sure this doesn't happen again?
04:32Well, there is only one person who can do that, Nicolette,
04:35and that is you.
04:37Seriously, I'm so...
04:39What are we trying to do here?
04:41Well, I am trying to take care of Isla.
04:44Then why is your main priority punishing me?
04:47It's not.
04:51I want to make this work.
04:53The adoption, everything.
04:55But it has to work for both of us
04:57or we're just going to end up in court
04:59and even worse, hating each other.
05:03I don't want that to happen.
05:06Neither.
05:08So can we figure this out?
05:10Still the best coffee in Ahrensborough.
05:12I remember when you and Lou took over.
05:15I gave you all these redecorating tips.
05:18Oh, dear. How could I forget?
05:22Excuse me for a moment.
05:27Ah, hello.
05:29Not often you see somebody reading the Bible in public.
05:34Good to meet a friend.
05:37Good to meet a fellow believer.
05:39Harold Bishop.
05:41Felix Rodwell.
05:43It's all a bit new to me.
05:45How did you find your faith?
05:47In prison.
05:49Oh, right.
05:51Darkness is always the best place to see the light, eh?
05:54And Felix, would you be Andrew's brother?
05:57And therefore, JJ is yours?
05:59Someone I need to ask forgiveness of.
06:02One of many such people.
06:04One of many such people.
06:06Ah, redemption. Not always easy to find, eh?
06:10Whenever things get tough, I check in with the big guy.
06:13What does he say?
06:15Fear not, for I am with you.
06:18Which means he gets to keep me company while I continue my job search.
06:21Oh.
06:23Well, I better leave you to it.
06:25Good luck.
06:34I've got this new trick.
06:36I'm calling it the upside-down inside-out pretzel.
06:39Ready to be amazed?
06:41Not really. Nell's just going to call in any minute now.
06:44G'day.
06:45Oh, hi.
06:46Hey, how's Susan?
06:47She's back at work. She was never one for resting.
06:50We're really lucky that nobody was hurt.
06:52Yeah, well, the way Susan and Holly tell it,
06:54it was less about luck and more about Felix.
06:56He's a real hero.
06:58Well, we're just glad everyone's safe.
07:00Send our love.
07:01You bet.
07:03Nell, hey, Nell!
07:05Sorry, your people...
07:07Is he OK?
07:09All I know is that with Felix and this long-distance Nell thing,
07:13JJ has been a real battle of loss.
07:15It'll pass.
07:17Sure, but until then, maybe we should do something to distract him.
07:21Whichever you mind.
07:23It has to be low-stress but competitive, or he'll lose interest.
07:27Also fun, but not cool.
07:29Oh, he won't want to deal with us.
07:31Any other limitations, Goldilocks?
07:33There is one thing JJ loves to do, but you hate it.
07:37So just remember, it's for a good cause.
07:48Hey.
07:49Hey.
07:53Uh-oh, you look serious.
07:55What's up?
07:57I wanted to talk to you about something.
08:00My costume whiz has stocked up on Velcro,
08:04and she just needs measurements.
08:06Shove up.
08:07Brilliant.
08:08What did you think of the program?
08:10Oh, I loved them.
08:12I think we have the makings of a fantastic show.
08:16Now all we need is a few more performers.
08:18Yes, if only we knew someone who was tall and dark.
08:24Yeah, handsome.
08:26Generous.
08:27Looks great without a shirt.
08:29I can't share with you guys.
08:30There's no way I'm getting my kid off for your event.
08:32Ever.
08:33Okay?
08:34What was I thinking?
08:35But, um, I was thinking I could walk you home.
08:38Uh, counter-offer?
08:40Maybe we could go to the movies instead?
08:43Are you still avoiding home at all costs?
08:46Yeah, Nicolette's making me rage scream into a pillow,
08:49so I need a new place to start.
08:52What about...
08:54This might seem like a silly idea,
08:56but I have a spare room and you're more than welcome to it.
09:00What?
09:01Please don't feel like you have to.
09:03I will take it.
09:05You hand me with not living with Nicolette.
09:07Yay!
09:08Perfect!
09:13Okay, cool.
09:14So now that we've both downloaded the app,
09:16what happens now?
09:17It takes care of everything.
09:19So Isla's care schedule, shared expenses,
09:23no more nasty surprises.
09:26Why did we not do this earlier?
09:28I think we were too busy fighting.
09:30Hmm.
09:31Hey, it wants our rosters and social plans.
09:34That's cool.
09:37Should I download the app as well?
09:40I don't think you need to, Jane.
09:42I think we both need to stop using you
09:44as the automatic fill-in.
09:46I'm happy to help when I can.
09:49And we're grateful for that.
09:51This is just about cleaning up the lines of communication,
09:54making sure there's no more last-minute scrambling.
09:57Okay, so I have my first meeting
09:59with the adoption lawyer this week.
10:01I put it in the calendar?
10:02Yep.
10:03Great.
10:04Thanks.
10:06This is nice.
10:08Sharing data.
10:09No, sharing the parenting again.
10:13It's better than that other thing.
10:16The great cold war of Ramsey Street?
10:19Agreed.
10:21I've missed it.
10:24Oh, hello.
10:26I thought you'd be home by now.
10:28Oh, no.
10:29Apparently, Gino and I aren't boring oldies.
10:33He wants to spend the day reminiscing around the complex.
10:37You've got to be kidding.
10:39Oh, is that the tram again?
10:41Yeah, it's Reuben.
10:42He says he's starting to feel sick,
10:44so he'd like to shorten his shift.
10:46But Lonnie's away, so I've got no one to cover.
10:48Well, if you hired more staff, wouldn't be a problem, would it?
10:51What about Felix Rodwell?
10:54I met him before.
10:55Seems a nice fellow, and he's looking for work.
10:58That's a thought, Harold.
11:00Must be tricky with a criminal record.
11:02Well, seeing how he's trying to rebuild his life,
11:05I think he'd be a good worker.
11:07I do need extra staff.
11:09Harold!
11:10Come on.
11:11Oh.
11:12OK.
11:13Oh.
11:14See you later.
11:15How do you think the Varga Murphys would feel
11:17about having Felix around?
11:19Ah.
11:20The Rodwells might have something to say about it, too.
11:31Come on, everyone.
11:32We've got two minutes until the first round answer sheet
11:35is due in.
11:37Foreign accent syndrome.
11:38That's number six.
11:39Random, but OK.
11:40That's right.
11:42Oi, Mr Varga Murphy.
11:44Off your phone, please.
11:46No cheating.
11:47Bro, who kicked the final penalty at the World Cup quarters?
11:51Wait, women's soccer?
11:52I actually know this one.
11:54Dude.
11:55Um, yeah, that was Courtney Vine.
11:58No, it has to be Sam Kurt.
12:00No, that would...
12:01Wait, Ash Barty.
12:02Dude, just write the...
12:03Oh, file app.
12:04It's Courtney Vine.
12:06No, it has to be Sam Kurt.
12:08No, that would...
12:09Wait, Ash Barty.
12:10Dude, just write the...
12:11Courtney...
12:14You suck.
12:15Hey, your handwriting's gonna lose us points as well.
12:18Ooh.
12:19Uh...
12:22That's Nell.
12:23Uh...
12:24Hey, Nell.
12:25How are you doing?
12:26Sorry, can you hear me?
12:27Hi, Nell.
12:28Hi, Nell.
12:29Uh, hold on.
12:30Just, uh...
12:31The phone just got...
12:32Um...
12:35Right.
12:41When you suggested meeting up,
12:43I thought you meant the two of us,
12:45not you and your phone.
12:46Oh, darling, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
12:48We're just so short-staffed.
12:50I'm thinking I'm going to have to schedule myself
12:52some regular shifts.
12:54On top of a full-time job at Irene,
12:56Carl, that is not sustainable.
12:58Could I do something?
12:59Well, look, maybe Holly can help out,
13:01just if she's got some spare time.
13:06After everything that happened at the waterhole,
13:08I think the Barker-Murphys would understand
13:10if you gave Felix a chance.
13:14Yeah, well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask
13:16if he was interested.
13:23Hey.
13:24Oh, sorry.
13:25I think you've got a mutual acquaintance,
13:27a Harold Bishop?
13:28Oh, yeah.
13:29Nice guy.
13:30Yeah.
13:31He told me about your job hunt.
13:36Do you have any experience in hospitality?
13:39Does a prison kitchen count?
13:41No.
13:42How would you feel about a trial run at the tram?
13:45Really?
13:46Yeah, it's minimum wage, no guarantee on hours.
13:49I'm the sales bitch.
13:51But seriously, I appreciate the offer.
13:53It's just one issue, and it's a bit of a deal-breaker for me.
13:57Uh-huh.
13:58You know, she will call when she gets a bit of reception.
14:03Yeah, I guess.
14:09I'm no Nell, but I am here for you.
14:11Yeah.
14:12Yeah.
14:13Yeah.
14:14Yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Yeah.
14:17Yeah.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Yeah.
14:21Yeah.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Yeah.
14:25Yeah.
14:26Yeah.
14:27No, but I am here if you want to talk.
14:29It's one thing to have Felix around,
14:32but now with the siege, it's just it feels like...
14:35Everyone's singing his praises.
14:36Everyone is singing his praises.
14:39Well, they can throw him a parade if they want to,
14:41but he's not coming anywhere near us.
14:43Good.
14:49You want to go back into trivia?
14:52Honestly, I'm not really in the mood to do trivia.
14:54I know. It was Dex's big plan to cheer you up and I think he'd be done if we left.
15:01I guess I could pretend to be into it for a minute.
15:03Thanks, mate. He's such a, he's such a...
15:08Okay, come on.
15:10Yeah, right.
15:23I have made up your bed.
15:25I have got all of your favourite snacks.
15:29Um, sadly I couldn't find anything that resembled your old nightlife.
15:34Well, that's okay. I will settle for a glass of milk and a chapter of whatever you're reading.
15:44Hey, welcome.
15:46It's going good.
15:48Nick and Byron were very understanding.
15:51I offered to pay a couple of extra months rent so that they're not caught out.
15:54Someone is very popular.
15:55I'm sorry, it's just a marketing group trying to upgrade my hot water system.
15:59Anyway, so the rules of the house are...
16:04Anything that is in the fridge is up for grabs.
16:06The Wi-Fi is unlimited and there is a 5 p.m. weekday dance party that is compulsory.
16:13Okay, I can get on board with all of that.
16:14Yay!
16:16Okay, I will take this through to your room.
16:18Okay.
16:22Nice.
16:24Hey, I was, um, I was going to talk to you earlier about the idea of us moving in together.
16:34It was just an idea. I know it's stupid.
16:38I love that you're thinking about that already.
16:42I'm really sorry we didn't get a chance to talk about it before.
16:45Yeah, it's all right. It's probably too soon anyway, right?
16:50No, it's more like I couldn't work with Paul and live with Paul and not kill Paul.
16:57Fair enough. Well, when we do get a place together, we won't have to worry about that.
17:02I can't wait, but for now, I am very excited that you're just a couple of floors away.
17:12All right, it's the final round, folks.
17:14Crunch time!
17:15It's only over 400 feet.
17:17Harbour Bridge.
17:18Are you serious?
17:19Yeah, if I'm wrong, you can pay me a massage or something.
17:24Thanks for organizing this whole thing.
17:25Also, I'm sorry for being such a downer lately.
17:28It's fine. We might turn to dates soon enough.
17:31No, not nearly as annoying as you.
17:34You'll be much worse, I reckon.
17:37Boys, we're going to have to go outside so I can show your mum what 400 feet looks like.
17:41Who are you running from?
17:43Oh, do you know Esposito?
17:45Lovely talking to the man, but he can be so exhausting.
17:49Yeah, he's a new ring rising resident and he loves a good chat, doesn't he?
17:54Oh, speaking of which, I just met Felix Rodboy earlier.
17:58Have you seen much of him since he's been back in town?
18:01Uh, Felix might be out of prison, but he's definitely not back in our lives.
18:05Oh, good. I'm a great believer in second chances.
18:10Well, Felix is welcome to have his second chance anywhere but here.
18:13Oh, dear.
18:15Then I feel I should tell you I suggested that Carl give him a job at the tram.
18:21Are you joking?
18:23No, no, no.
18:24You're not seriously going to hire Felix?
18:26Hi, hi. Sorry, we just saw Harold.
18:29Yeah, yeah, no, I did talk to Felix about the possibility of him working at the tram.
18:33Well, you should have come to us first.
18:34The man's done maybe two decent things in his whole life.
18:36It doesn't make up for the damage he's caused.
18:38Yeah, I'm sorry. I should have. But you should know that Felix...
18:41The only thing I need to know is that you'll retract the offer.
18:43Oh, sorry. Felix is still a very sensitive issue now.
18:46Yeah, I do understand that. It's just...
18:48He was so helpful to Susan in the siege. I just wanted to repay the kindness.
18:52And if she'd let Carl tell the whole story, I'm sure that would change her perspective.
18:55Yeah.
19:13That is why I do the laundry to wind down. I find it very therapeutic.
19:23I remember that about you.
19:26You would have thought we'd be living together after all of these years.
19:30I know. I am sorry. It's just a wrong number.
19:37A wrong number that repeatedly texts you and makes you blush.
19:42See the twinkle in your eye, Mel? Who is it?
19:45It's actually messages from a dating app.
19:50Oh, my goodness. And with all those beeps, you must be so popular. Pop off, Mel.
19:55No, it's just all from one person. We started chatting and we haven't stopped.
20:01Wow. Is the chemistry as good in person as it is online?
20:05Well, we haven't actually met yet.
20:07So you're just taking it slow?
20:09Well, the good thing is that he's in Sydney, but he has connections down here.
20:14So he's coming down at some point.
20:15Yay. Well, can I see a picky at least?
20:18No, I don't want to jinx it.
20:20Okay.
20:35Can't stop yourself, can you?
20:36Yeah. Even after all the promises, you can't help trying to weasel your way back into our lives.
20:43You know, you might have all these people forward, but I know exactly what you are.
20:46Oh, there you are.
20:48The boys? I sent them home.
20:51Which is lucky, because they don't have to be in the presence of this.
20:55Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding.
20:57You know what? Taking a job so that you can get closer to JJ, that's a new low.
21:00The Kennedys are good people and you're taking advantage.
21:03No, he's not. Carl told me that Felix said he would check with us before he accepted the role.
21:10I'll let Carl know that it's a no, but I'm sorry for any cross wires.
21:19I am so sick of this reformed holy man bull.
21:27Felix did do his time. Would it be so bad if Carl gave him a job?
21:33Are you seriously siding with the con man who recruited our kid into crime?
21:37No, because he almost derailed our whole family.
21:42I thought we were on the same page,
21:43which is the one where a criminal doesn't get to be around our kid.
21:46I'm not siding with Felix.
21:48Could have fooled me.
21:56Coming up on Neighbours.
21:57You're not falling for this same Felix act as well, are you?
