00:00I
00:08Abigail's got a counseling session. That's so good. How's she feeling about it?
00:11I'm not going to counseling since when since Eden tried to hijack my session last time
00:16We spoke you said you were gonna give Abby some space what happened
00:19I did give her space, but then I decided that it wasn't my style. She read you Jen. Yep
00:23She just started sitting there and helped herself. That's a breach of your trust sure
00:28I've noticed some pretty complex family dynamics at play, so I think that Abigail would would really benefit from a family therapy session
00:38We came here to remind ourselves how good we are together know what we're doing
00:43Yeah, we could talk when we get home this trip was meant to reset us remember it is
00:53I want you to trust me again if I could say one thing to make you believe me to make all of our problems go
00:58Away, I would have already said it, but it doesn't work that way. I love you
01:04That's never gonna change
01:06Can't be enough
01:10Nice work today everybody. I'll see you all next week
01:18Another day
01:20You know it
01:22So uh
01:24Is there anything we should be talking about?
01:27Subtle well if you must know I just rang the agency
01:32and
01:33I'm doing the campaign
01:38I really appreciate it, and I'm gonna really appreciate the paycheck
01:47Somebody's a paycheck uh-huh mentor a boards is doing a big marketing push, and I'm gonna be the stuff
01:52We're gonna get together an official campaign. We're gonna hit surf magazine social media radio. Maybe even a billboard or two
02:01Good luck with that
02:03Okay, tell me what you really think John. Oh, I'm sure you'll do a good job
02:10Just there's a lot riding on it
02:13Wait what?
02:22It is enough
02:25Just so you know
02:28You so right yeah, it's a marathon not a sprint I
02:34Trust you to trust me being that yeah
02:38Can we agree
02:41That today is the first day of the rest of our lives yeah, no more secrets no more lies
02:47We
02:50Start over clean slate
02:56Justin I heard you. Yeah, we're okay. No. No we are great everything you said is perfect
03:04Can you finish the unpacking cuz there's something I need to do at work what now
03:08I
03:14Don't care what your problem is you're keen on doing a counseling session with me before well. This is different
03:20It'll be all three of you
03:22never I
03:24Just don't want things to get out of hand
03:27Shouldn't she be focusing on her own stuff
03:30Well without going into too much detail. It was pretty clear from our first session that there's a link between
03:35Abigail's issue and your family history. It's alright. They already know
03:40Yeah, we've been talking about it
03:43That's a great start
03:45Now that it's on the table we can
03:47Start working through it you mean so everybody can have a go at me for the stuff. I did wrong when I was a kid
03:53No one said anything about blame. Just talking through feelings and trying to find a way to move forward
04:00Well if it's what Abby wants
04:07I
04:08Didn't mean anything bad by it. Well. You must have meant something
04:11No, I didn't if you want to take on all that responsibility then go knock yourself out responsibility
04:16Well, what else would you call it? You are gonna be the face of Marley's business, so well
04:21Who they're gonna blame if the campaign goes belly-up and all of Marley's hard-earned dough goes down the dung. What if it's a success?
04:27What if it's a success? Well he gets to feel sidelined while you get to bask in all the glory
04:31I wouldn't do that to him not intentionally John
04:35Gotta go urgent business John. No. We're not finished. No that urgent urgent
04:40Hey, can I just offer you an apology in advance just to save us both a whole lot of bother got it good
04:49What was that about the photo shoot
04:52You
04:54Wanna pull out no, I'm still in great
04:59But you should be too
05:02But me model. Well you tell business who better to represent it. Nah the hard part. Why because there's too much pressure
05:11Right yeah cool good to know
05:14Well
05:19Well we might need an icebreaker to kick us off
05:23Why don't you say three things about Abigail three adjectives positive ones, okay?
05:31Abby is bold
05:36Engaging and
05:41Resourceful
05:43How much should we pay you to say that 50 bucks, it's true though, thanks
05:51Okay your turn
05:54Abby I
05:57Think you are
05:59kind
06:01Resilient and
06:06Independent
06:09Okay great got the ball rolling let's push on
06:17Hey, baby, hey
06:21What's all this I am so sorry I took off like that before but there is something that we need to do
06:29What's that tell her a minute sure
06:32You know when we're talking about starting over
06:35I just remembered how beautiful and filled with love our wedding day was and a five-star review for the celebrant yet
06:42Did you ever be yourself I?
06:45Agree it was an amazing day, but what's that got to do with anything?
06:48You said you wanted to make a fresh start. Yeah
06:52Let's bring you our vows
06:57Come back to me
07:02I
07:09Think you might need a hand
07:11first time for everything
07:13Okay, so I don't get why you're mad. You said you were down to do the shoot. Yes
07:18I am
07:19But it might have been nice if you'd actually thought about doing it with me rather than giving me a straight-up
07:23No, I didn't have to think about it, and I told you why okay, whatever
07:27I've got a class to teach hang on a minute
07:30Why is it so important to you that I do it to why isn't it important to you?
07:34You said that you wanted this to feel real now if you can't see why you should be the face of your own business
07:39That's on you
07:47You look more nervous than me John yes
07:50Well, I've never done a vow renewal before all the online guides are for 10 20 year anniversaries has it even been six months
07:57Just relax yeah, I just go at the flow. You know that would be a lot easier to suit so tight
08:03Mm-hmm no cake for you, then wouldn't go that far
08:12You're beautiful
08:14She does look beautiful, and you look very handsome
08:18Sorry, I'm just so excited because I didn't actually get to go to your real weddings. Yeah, okay, okay positions to everybody now
08:24I'm gonna do my best as a certified wedding celebrant, but I'm a little underpaid. Yeah, John
08:29I don't want to celebrate. I asked you both here as witnesses. Oh, I
08:34Think I'm gonna need a couple of minutes just to finish my vows. Oh, I don't worry about them
08:38This is big from my heart
08:41Yeah, good. Yeah
08:43You want to go first again? Ah why don't we take turns, but maybe you should get this okay?
08:48Yeah
08:50No pressure then okay
08:57Yeah
08:59You're my soul mate you're mine
09:04Promise you I'm gonna love you and
09:07Cherish you saying in a pool or getting kicked out of it. We'll make it
09:13Hopefully without an audience
09:16I'm sorry guys you had to be there
09:22How would you describe your relationship with your sister try and be as honest as you can I
09:28Don't know. I I always thought we got on really well and
09:32Recently I found out that she hates me. She doesn't hate you
09:35You wouldn't be saying that if you saw what if if he had gone through my journal like you did wait
09:40What you read her journal? I apologize for that he didn't why don't we get back to the original?
09:45Question even you were describing your relationship with Abby to be honest it hurt
09:51To find out that after everything we've been through she thinks that I'm
09:58What did you say dominating that was that was a word used well, I'm not wrong. That's not helpful
10:04We're trying to move forward remember. Yeah, that's easy for you to say you're not the one in the firing line
10:09Oh, I'm sure my time will come I'd hate to think what's in there about me. I want to know
10:14You can see it too hang on a journal wasn't for anyone to see
10:18Well, it's mine, so I can show anyone. I want to yeah, you can
10:25Great, I'll grab it
10:28Don't go anywhere
10:34I'm not perfect
10:36I've made a few mistakes, and I'm probably gonna make a few more me too
10:41But I'll try and learn from them
10:44I promise to be honest from now on no matter how hard the conversation may be
10:49And I promise to listen even if I don't want to hear it. That's all I really want
10:59Hello, yeah, I love you too for as long as we both shall live Oh
11:05Congratulations
11:08That should be my line, I'm sorry
11:11Oh
11:18Now it's your turn hey, oh darling no that ship has sailed
11:22Then it sank. I want you to make a vow to us not to each other
11:28Yeah, I just worried there for a while
11:31I asked you both here as witnesses because I want you to hold us accountable for everything. We just said
11:38You do that I will I will too good so does that mean we can get into that cake yes, John
11:46Terrific it's been a privilege to be here with you
11:49It really was perfect
11:55Yeah, it was
12:01Got it
12:05We're plugs for this part
12:07Sorry mate buckle up
12:16Hmm
12:21Okay big brother
12:25Generous dependable and kind I'm not sure that's accurate hang on let her finish
12:33Well he was there when I needed him the most and
12:36He helps me and he looks after me and I can I'm sorry I can't listen to this
12:42I need to get to work Eden. This is important. Don't go what a surprise
12:46Making it all about yourself, and then taking off same as always when mom and dad split up
12:51I was the one who stuck around to pick up the pieces while Switzerland over here bailed on us
12:55But no no I'm I'm the enemy and he's the hero
12:57You made it seem like it was us against the world and then you dumped me to hang out with your friends
13:01I guess no how do you think that that made me feel I get that and like I said
13:06I am sorry for hurting you, but I was just a kid. I was just trying to do my best Abby
13:14Anyway feel free to keep kicking me while I'm gone
13:18If you're wondering whether I'm gonna drop out of the modeling thing don't be doing it so am I
13:26I
13:28I
13:30I
13:33I
13:35I
13:40I
13:42out of a modelling thing. Don't be. I'm doing it.
13:45So am I. For real?
13:50I had a big think after our talk and you were right. It's my business and I'm proud of it.
13:57I should be in the shoot too. You are not going to regret this, Marley.
14:02Yes, okay, I'm going to call the agency in the morning.
14:05They won't mind? Doesn't matter. We pay them. So we call
14:08the shots. No, you call the shots. They make a good team. I got the looks, you
14:15got the brains. And the looks too.
14:17Yeah, you're just scared that I'm going to show you off.
14:20You're not wrong. Well, haven't you learnt by now? I never
14:23am. Well, this family therapy idea of yours
14:31went down like a treat. Actually, I think it did. We'll go over
14:35everything in more detail at our next one-on-one session, but I think you're making good progress.
14:40Really? You did something very difficult today.
14:44Screaming at Eden actually seems to come pretty easy to me.
14:48Healing old wounds is never easy, especially when there's family involved.
14:52Look, I'm actually going to bail. I just want to check up on Eden.
14:57I think it's more important that Abigail has someone with her right now.
15:03I get that. But Eden's just been doing it tough lately. Her best friend died and she's
15:09been dealing with the fallout of that. Why don't I go and check up on her instead?
15:16Thanks. She works in a restaurant above the surf club.
15:21It's called Salt. Yeah, I know the place. Hey, just out of curiosity,
15:28what did you get out of today's session? Well, it's not really about me. We're here
15:32for Abby. Sure, but I saw your reaction when Eden accused
15:36you of walking out on her. It got under your skin.
15:43So what if it did? It just might be something worth thinking
15:47about, that's all. Who would have thought after we got married
15:58that we'd be renewing our vows six months after we said them for the first time?
16:03I think we have a Guinness World Record on our hands.
16:08Don't tell John. He'll want to make it official. My lips are sealed.
16:13This was the best idea. Good. Yeah, I just want to show you how much
16:19I love you. And I just wanted to put a full stop on the
16:23last few weeks. Done and done. Finished?
16:27Oh yeah, thank you. Well, maybe we should get a start on cleaning
16:33this place up. I think we should leave it. We cleaned up
16:37Theo's mess, he can clean up ours. I'm not going to argue with that.
16:48Besides, I can think of something else I'd rather do on our wedding night.
16:52What is? Psychiatry.
17:04Oh, just in case.
17:23Hey. I don't know why you're here, but I've had
17:29about as much dredging up with the past as I can handle for one day.
17:33Yeah, it was a brutal session. Levi was worried about you.
17:39So you're only here because my brother told you?
17:42No, no, I'm just here because I wanted to make sure you're okay, that's all.
17:47Levi said that you've been through a lot lately yourself.
17:51He's not wrong there, yeah. I just told him that I'd check in and make
17:57sure that you're alright. So, are you okay?
18:03No, no I'm not.
18:14Hey, thanks for sticking around today.
18:17It's a pretty rough day. If you asked me, I'd think you would have been fine on your own.
18:22Yeah, maybe.
18:26Just sit down for a second, I want to make one thing clear.
18:32What?
18:35I left home. Not Eden.
18:39You wanted to live with Dad. Like I said, I was mad at first, but I understood.
18:44That's not why I left. I left because it was easier. Eden chose to stay.
18:54Is this why you stopped making excuses for her again?
18:57I know what you're going through is a lot.
19:00But?
19:02If we're ever going to move on as family, a little bit of forgiveness might go a long way.
19:15For a counsellor, you really are a bad influence, aren't you?
19:31Well, you said you could take a break. A short one.
19:34I mean, you're right, you probably should get back to work.
19:38My boss isn't around, so.
19:41If she was, I'm sure you could talk your way out of trouble.
19:44Could I?
19:46Yeah, you've got a bit of a way with words. As in you're good at getting the last one in.
19:51Okay, does the psychoanalysis come free with the beer? Is it extra?
19:57No, no. I'll send you an invoice for that later.
20:05Maybe I do sometimes get the last word in.
20:10Sometimes?
20:11Okay, a lot.
20:14Fine. Always.
20:18Except with you. You always have some annoyingly mature comeback.
20:25Is that a compliment?
20:28Take it or leave it.
20:31I'll take it.
20:41I should probably get going, but I'm glad you're doing alright.
20:48See you around?
20:49Sure.
20:51Bye.
21:09You'll be missing that ocean breeze pretty soon. Enjoy it while it lasts.
21:12About that. I'm leaving tomorrow.
21:15So this is definitely what you want?
21:20I'm really gonna miss you.
21:22I'm really gonna miss you too.
21:30What are you doing to her?
21:31Just be honest with yourself, Cash. Is this really what you want?
