00:00Previously on Neighbors
00:02The person that I really want to turn to
00:04is the one person that I really should be avoiding.
00:06Chef's Chicken Pesto Salad
00:08Please, stay.
00:12We just want you to be one of our sexy
00:14Boilers performance. Sure, I'm in.
00:16And I'm grateful for devoting your time
00:18to them. No, surely he hasn't
00:20pulled out of the Yorokobi deal.
00:22Because now he knows he's not dying, okay, and he needs money
00:24for himself. So is that your mystery
00:26man that you were texting? I'd love to
00:28meet up in person. When are you free?
00:58Neighbors, be
01:00good friends.
01:06Happy
01:08housewarming. Byron, that's really
01:10sweet, you didn't have to do that.
01:12I know, it's just more of a
01:14sorry about having to move out because my
01:16sister didn't have a present and
01:18really gonna miss you.
01:20Does that mean that we're all good?
01:22Of course we are.
01:24Help, please!
01:26Necklace, bracelet, both.
01:30Byron, you're a straight man, help.
01:34Bracelets. Bracelets? Yep.
01:36Which one? The gold one, it's pretty.
01:38Okay, okay. Hey, do you want to
01:40stay for coffee? No, I won't
01:42keep you. I've got places to go
01:44but enjoy. I will
01:46take really good care of it. Thank you.
01:48Thank you, see ya.
01:52You look
01:54beautiful. Just remember to breathe.
01:56I thought about consulting
01:58Madam Solga, but then I thought
02:00who needs her when I've got my
02:02instincts and their screaming
02:04positivity. I
02:06hope he's the one. I think he
02:08might be. He came all the way from
02:10Sydney, so you know he's not messing around.
02:12Maybe I shouldn't assume too much.
02:14He does have other friends here in Melbourne.
02:16Yeah. But
02:18I invited him and
02:20here he is.
02:22Here you go.
02:24Finishing touch.
02:26Go and get your fella.
02:30Good luck.

03:10Music
03:12Alan. I am
03:14so sorry I'm late.
03:16My flight was delayed and my phone died
03:18and the taxi driver took the scenic route.
03:20Sounds like
03:22a convenient excuse, I know.
03:24No, I just thought that
03:26I was going to show up and that's
03:28why you're about to leave.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Can I buy you a drink?
03:34Or
03:36blow this to him? Do something crazy?
03:40I know we get along like a house
03:42on fire, but
03:44I prefer a familiar territory for
03:46a first date. Absolutely.
03:48Up to you.
03:50I'll have to find another way to correct my terrible first
03:52impression.
03:54Shall we sit down?
03:56Yeah.
04:00Are you feeling a little better today,
04:02Bunny? She's tough.
04:04Yeah. Hey, I've been
04:06workshopping a new bit
04:08of Corrie, but I really need to catch you up on her.
04:10Hello.
04:12Happy dining.
04:14Yay!
04:16I was wondering if I could run something
04:18by you. Me? Just about the adoption
04:20lawyer. I thought maybe I could
04:22come with you to your appointment. I thought if
04:24you and I are a united front, then surely it would
04:26smooth out the process.
04:28I mean, yeah, that would be great. Thank you.
04:30Okay. It's a wonderful idea.
04:32The date's in the sheer calendar. Yeah, I know.
04:34I already booked it off work, so
04:36I'll be there.
04:38Are you busy at the moment?
04:40I was going to get a coffee.
04:42Would you like some company?
04:44Yeah, I would.
04:48Alright, see ya. Bye.
04:50I guess I won't be needing anybody.
04:52Oh, hey, hey, hey. Not so fast.
04:54We have some serious
04:56boy-esque business. Put that down.
04:58Hello, yes.
05:00Sorry, sorry.
05:02I know I'm running late. I'm almost ready.
05:04Have you got the address for the sales launch?
05:06Yeah, just look it up. Oh!
05:08What?
05:12Wait, why is there
05:14a pic of Vic Stone on Mel's computer?
05:16This is the guy that she's been talking to.
05:18The one that she's about to go on a date with.
05:20Wait, so he's in
05:22Ahrensborough? Yeah, well, he just
05:24came in from Sydney, or so he said.
05:26Surely Mel knows who he is.
05:28I don't know. I'll ask her as soon as I tell her to run for the hills.
05:30Alright, well, you have to do it from the car.
05:32Yes. Sorry.
05:36So I must be your
05:38first stop in Melbourne.
05:40First and
05:42most fun by way much.
05:44Oh, I'll take that.
05:46Um,
05:48I do have another reason for being here.
05:50I told you that I have a bit of a
05:52complicated family
05:54history. Same here.
05:56I'm not sure I'm ready to share
05:58all of that quite yet.
06:00Well, mine's to do with my kids.
06:04I don't really
06:06know where to begin with a story.
06:08Well, why don't we leave the
06:10emotional baggage outside
06:12for another day?
06:14I could use a bit of positivity before I
06:16tackle it.
06:22So, how's
06:24the business hunt going?
06:26Well, depending on how things
06:28go,
06:30I could start looking down here,
06:32closer to the kids.
06:34I love being my own boss.
06:36I would not have it any
06:38other way. Well, until you have to give yourself a stern
06:40talking to.
06:42Oh, I'm sorry.
06:44I wasn't planning on hitting you with that
06:46quite so soon. Why not?
06:48It's because it's not the sort of thing you put on your
06:50dating profile. Anyone who doesn't love
06:52dancing misery guts.
06:54I'm not kidding. That's the spice of life.
06:56I knew a guy who was always talking about how funny
06:58his wife's laugh was. Actually, his impression
07:00of her was a bit like you.
07:02Well, there's no
07:04putting it back in the can now.
07:06Lately, I've realised
07:08life is short.
07:10No time to hide. I feel the same.
07:12Seize the day.
07:14Cheers.
07:16I've been meaning to text you to
07:18apologise for falling asleep on the couch last
07:20week. Oh, don't be sorry.
07:22You needed the rest more than the tea.
07:24Anyway, I appreciate
07:26the gesture.
07:28And as a thanks,
07:30are you free for lunch? My shout?
07:32Yeah,
07:34I could probably do that between meetings, yeah.
07:36Okay. Well, text me when you're
07:38free. Okay.
07:48It's almost like you're being
07:50nice.
07:52Yes. And it's
07:54lovely to see, I might add.
07:56But she's relying
07:58on you now. I hope
08:00you're up for it.
08:14It's very lovely, by the
08:16way. Thank you. A friend
08:18helped me choose it.
08:20Oh,
08:22it'll be about
08:24an event that I
08:26am helping to organise.
08:28Well, I count myself very lucky
08:30to have your attention.
08:32So, about your
08:34next chapter.
08:36When I was travelling in my van,
08:38I saw this amazing
08:40old pub in
08:42Gippsland that's for sale. I've
08:44always had this fantasy about running
08:46my own pub. So have I.
08:48You'll have to send me the
08:50details. Consider it done.
08:52How
08:54do you feel about extending this
08:56date? I really don't want to end your shit.
08:58Life's too short. Seize the day.
09:00I'll get some menus.
09:10Vic?
09:12Dad?
09:14What the hell are you doing here?
09:26You know you're going to lose the audience if you make them
09:28wait this... Enough with the heckling.
09:30I haven't even started yet.
09:32Go on then. Yeah,
09:34come on Byron, wow us.
09:36Woo!
09:38Woo!
09:40Okay, wait.
09:42Give me, give me, give me, give me.
09:48Wait.
09:50Wait, wait, wait. I got it.
09:52Is that it?
09:54You're the one that suddenly decided
09:56everybody has to have a special talent.
09:58You should be grateful. Yeah, I don't think
10:00grateful is the word that's coming to mind.
10:04Yeah, it's been a while.
10:06How long are we talking?
10:08I think I was 12.
10:10Is there anything else inside that box
10:12that we can use?
10:16No, that's it.
10:18Right.
10:20Um...
10:22Hey, I can do one-handed push-ups.
10:24Really? Great.
10:26Let's do that. Give me ten.
10:36She said it.
10:38Simon, you're supposed to be here supporting me.
10:42It's alright. Everyone has at least one talent
10:44we can use.
10:46Hey, I can learn how to swallow fire
10:48from a client. Swallow fire?
10:50Is there anything
10:52else a little less life-threatening?
10:58You really think that we believe you just got here?
11:00It's the truth. Just what
11:02you're known for. I was about to
11:04call you.
11:06I want to make things right.
11:08What? Why now?
11:10No, actually, don't answer that
11:12because there is no way you can make up
11:14for what you did. Please, Nicole, just
11:16give me a chance. Dad, you disappeared off
11:18the face of the earth. Oh, and picked up a
11:20floozy on the way.
11:22Typical.
11:24That's
11:26my bad.
11:28Mel, what are you doing with Vic?
11:30We just met.
11:32I obviously had no idea
11:34who he was.
11:36But I should have, shouldn't I?
11:38Vic. Victor Stone.
11:40So you're here for five
11:42minutes and already picking up
11:44on one of my friends. You do realize
11:46that when we were married, Melanie was
11:48family?
11:50Jo's Melanie
11:52for life.
11:54And now you've finally met the man who has
11:56caused us all so much pain.
11:58I'm in the way.
12:00You guys have obviously got a lot of catching up to do.
12:10So, are you sleeping any
12:12better? On and
12:14off? I'm guessing
12:16more off than on by the sounds of it.
12:22Do you know exactly what it is you're struggling with?
12:24Because if you can pinpoint that, maybe
12:26we can find a way of fixing it.
12:28I don't think there's an easy
12:30fix. It's such
12:32a big house and it's so empty.
12:34It's been so long
12:36since I've been there on my own.
12:38I'm struggling to adjust.
12:40You don't feel restful enough to sleep.
12:42I, yeah. I felt
12:44the same way when Leo and Abby moved out.
12:48Yeah, it's just the little
12:50things I miss.
12:52The kids thundering down the stairs,
12:54even they're arguing.
12:56Or tripping over toys
12:58that are scattered all over the floor.
13:00And they're making cups
13:02of tea even when I didn't ask for them.
13:04Yeah.
13:10Where are those coffees?
13:16Now we're talking!
13:18Or is that walking?
13:20Where did you even learn to walk on stilts?
13:22Actually, you know what?
13:24I don't even want to hear the answer to that.
13:26So, what do we reckon?
13:28I think this could be good.
13:30I think. I mean, I don't know how,
13:32but do we like it?
13:34Yeah, it is.
13:36Hey, can you guys check that out?
13:38Yeah, it is. Hey, can you guys check that for me?
13:40Sure.
13:46Hey, Byron, I think you might want to come down and look at this.
13:54Melanie can't still be on her date.
13:56Surely she's listened to my messages by now.
13:58Maybe she's embarrassed.
14:00Hey!
14:02Hey, how'd you go with Byron and Boylesque?
14:04Um, yeah, good. We were workshopping something
14:06but we got distracted.
14:08Vic Stone is back in town.
14:10Yeah, yeah, we know.
14:12Well, you know, if Byron can get his act together
14:14then we're well on our way.
14:16We just need your talent now.
14:18Oh, yeah, don't worry. I have something in mind
14:20and it is going to blow people away.
14:22I bet.
14:24Oh, sorry.
14:36I'd like to know why you're really back.
14:38I'm happy to
14:40explain everything, but
14:42we have to wait for Byron.
14:44I will not let you
14:46hurt our children again.
14:48That's not my intention.
14:54What the hell is this?
14:56No, sir.
14:58No? You don't even have the right to call me that
15:00after the way you left.
15:02It's important that I hear
15:04how much I hurt you.
15:06Why? Why? I mean,
15:08what's that going to say?
15:10It's not the way I've normally gone about things, is it?
15:12It might be the one way that I can show you
15:14I'm trying to change.
15:16I'd rather have you in my life angry than not at all.
15:20So he's back.
15:22So his face
15:24didn't ring any bells?
15:26I suppose I would have seen Jane's
15:28wedding album, but it would have been
15:3030 years ago.
15:32What?
15:34I just realised I'm actually his
15:36auntie by my marriage to Jo.
15:38Oh.
15:40And they lived in the UK.
15:42When I was in London, I didn't
15:44even know if they were on or off at that
15:46stage, but I never met him.
15:48Well, what about when
15:50I was here mid-year?
15:52I'd just come back from my big trip.
15:58Well, thank you for that.
16:00It was your shower.
16:02I meant thank you for listening to me.
16:04Therese,
16:06everyone is here for you.
16:08True.
16:10It's just somehow I feel
16:12like they are always pitting me.
16:14And like yourself,
16:16you're always there for me,
16:18knowing exactly what to
16:20say or when to listen.
16:24You don't know how much that means to people.
16:28Glad I can help.
16:32We are not doing this
16:34again. We're not playing these games, okay?
16:36Please, it's time to go.
16:38Byron, wait.
16:40What? Maybe we should at least hear his story.
16:42What? So you can give him another free
16:44pass? No, Nick. No.
16:46We just have so many questions,
16:48and this might be the only time that we get answers.
16:50When I found out I was in full
16:52remission,
16:58to say I was stunned is an understatement.
17:00I mean, you all know I was at peace with
17:02what was going to happen, and to hear otherwise,
17:04all I could think of was that
17:06I had a future. And that's when I panicked.
17:08Because I'd promised you both
17:10so much, and I'd left myself with almost
17:12almost nothing.
17:14After finally getting to
17:16a good place with both of you, I knew I'd
17:18disappoint you if I pulled out of
17:20our agreement, and I
17:22couldn't bear to do that again.
17:26So I
17:28took the easy
17:30way out, and I
17:32wrote you letters, and ran. Do you honestly
17:34think that Nicolette and Byron
17:36cared about the money? Well, I made a
17:38promise. Another broken promise.
17:40It's the least
17:42of the issues here. Vic, this
17:44was about you not dying.
17:46That's why they're so
17:48upset. Well, we all are, because we cared
17:50about you.
17:52Not the money.
17:54I don't care
17:56about you. Not anymore, at
17:58least.
18:00Just not forget that you screwed over Leo
18:02and left me and Nic to clean up your mess.
18:04And that's why I've come back.
18:06To make up for every bad decision I made.
18:08Vic, we have given you so many
18:10chances, and you've blown them up!
18:18I'm not gonna ask you again, okay?
18:20It's time to leave.
18:40I'm not giving up.
18:42I'm not giving up.
18:44I'm not giving up.
18:46I'm not giving up.
18:50Sorry, Mom.
19:10Byron. Yeah?
19:12Yeah.
19:14He's gotta be kidding.
19:16And you? Didn't feel like
19:18backing me up in there?
19:20I just...
19:22It's a lot to process,
19:24Byron. I didn't
19:26ever think that I would see him again. It was like
19:28he really died, and now...
19:30Yeah, yeah, I get that it's a lot, but you
19:32have to remember that he screwed us both over.
19:34Okay, so you and me, we have to
19:36stick together. So he gets the message
19:38to leave us alone!
19:46You're not going soft on him, are you?
19:48I'm not.
19:50What he did to us was
19:52awful.
19:54Good, because it wouldn't be the first time now, would it?
19:58This time's different.
20:02You bet it is.
20:08Here you go.
20:24Is there another GFC coming, or
20:26is the move Therese-related?
20:30Mate, you know, no matter how often
20:32I tell myself that I can handle
20:34loving Therese, but still keep my distance,
20:36The reality
20:38Way different
20:39Yeah, but you can't abandon her. Oh, no, and I wouldn't know never I
20:45Just can't be there for to raise the way that she needs me
20:51But I know someone who can
20:54I'm so sorry. I have been chewing your ear off and you you probably need to get back to work
20:58No, I always have time for you
21:01Hmm
21:04Krista nice to see you again. I can't say the same
21:11I have a quick word. It's fine. I'll see you at home
21:23I swear I didn't realize you with that Melanie. Yes. Well, I believe you because there's no way I have any idea that you were
21:30that bitch
21:32Got to think there was all those times that we could have met talk about sliding doors
21:39It goes without saying we
21:42Can't take it any further no way
21:45Jane has been a great friend to me. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her
21:52Suppose she's giving you my full rap sheet
21:55I'm finding it quite difficult to
21:59Reconcile that person with the guy that I've been getting to know that's because I don't want to be that guy anymore
22:06Mother I expect anyone to take my word for it
22:11Somewhere out there a lucky man is waiting for you
22:20I should go
22:23You should
22:44Coming up on neighbors, I can't trust myself to be around her
22:47I mean I've tried, but I just can't oh you okay. You look a little stressed
22:50I know we'd only been chatting for a few weeks, but I felt like he was my perfect match
22:56I look at you. I don't see my father anymore. You know you don't really mean that
