00:00The big BCFing brand sale is here.
00:03Get it first at BCF, the new Dometic CFX 5 fridge freezer has landed.
00:07Keep the babies cold, yes please.
00:09Catalogue out now.
00:10That BCFing feeling is BCFing fun.
00:13Hey!
00:17Well this is me, you know, coming to the table.
00:19Just when I'm absolutely knackered.
00:21And then he had the audacity to walk off after I cooked for him and everything.
00:25What about taking a few days personal leave?
00:27I don't need it.
00:29He's suspended.
00:30Impatience and irritability are symptoms of PTSD.
00:34He wanted to make sure that I would be there for you if he took a step back.
00:39Look, I know things usually get messy with Paul and I, but it's just reassuring knowing that he's around.
00:58You can find the perfect blend.
01:04Neighbours should be there for one another.
01:11That's when good neighbours become good friends.
01:29It's okay.
01:32Please don't leave me.
01:42No!
01:49I know, but we've worked through so much since Toadie blew up our lives.
01:54Doesn't mean it's a good idea to lean on Paul.
01:57No, I know, but it just, it makes me feel better.
02:01Makes me feel like I'm still valuable.
02:03I just don't want to see you walk into a bad situation when you're so vulnerable.
02:09Yeah, you're right.
02:11We really should keep our distance from each other.
02:14I mean, it's not like he's a magic bullet or anything.
02:16More like a landmine.
02:18Touche.
02:20Are you heading into Irene this afternoon?
02:22On my way. I just wanted to check that you were okay first.
02:26I will be.
02:28You sure?
02:30Well, I mean, I've come this far on my own, so.
02:34Okay. Well, I'll see you in a little while.
02:55Okay.
03:26Hey, sorry if I'm interrupting anything.
03:29No, it's fine. Is everything okay?
03:32Have you spoken to Nell in the past few days?
03:35Um, we've sent a few messages, but I think she's pretty homesick by the sounds of it.
03:41Yeah, she's just really worried that everyone's forgetting about her.
03:44I keep trying to tell her we haven't, but...
03:45Oh, I'll give her a call once she's home later.
03:49Listen, it's not all on you to handle.
03:53Everyone needs to support Nell, especially her family.
03:57Yeah, I reckon she'll be really glad to talk to you.
04:00Yeah, well, I know what it's like to feel cut off.
04:03And I have been thinking about her a lot, so I'll let her know.
04:07Thanks.
04:08Okay, bye.
04:09Bye.
04:18Bye.
04:31Hey, I've got lemonade if you want it.
04:34Thanks.
04:36What's that?
04:38Uh, it's something of Mum's.
04:40Oh, offshore bank account?
04:48Yeah.
04:57Ding, ding, ding!
04:59I think the other guy's a pile of pulp on the ground.
05:02Listen, Wendy said that you've taken a bit of time off work.
05:07Great, I won't do what she tells everyone we've ever met.
05:09Look, I wasn't going to mention anything, but if there's anything that I can do to help,
05:13I mean, you might want to ditch the show.
05:16Seriously?
05:18There's more important things you need to put your energy into right now.
05:20Look, I lost it for a few seconds, it's nothing.
05:38Hey babe, you on break?
05:40Yeah, I just caught Wendy.
05:42Oh, how's she doing?
05:44I said that you could recommend some marriage counsellors if they decide to go that way.
05:49Oh yeah, I mean, that's a good idea.
05:53What's that?
05:56What I came to talk to you about.
05:59JJ found your birthday goals from your 40th.
06:04Look, to be fair, that was a really busy day.
06:07You know, with the makeover and the surprise party, I did that all pretty quick.
06:11Just off the top of my head.
06:13Well, we didn't read it all, but the first one was a bit of a curveball.
06:18What, my goal to build something more exciting than the sunroom?
06:23You dreamed to have another baby?
06:27It's nothing serious, that's why I said it was a dream.
06:30It must be a little bit serious, you wrote it in your letter.
06:34Have you been thinking about this a lot?
06:36Um, well, yeah, I guess I have.
06:44I just thought sending you those silly messages would cheer you up.
06:49No, it wasn't a brush off.
06:53Okay, I will call you every single day until you stop thinking that.
07:00Okay, fine.
07:02Okay, fine.
07:05Yeah, you go, I'll talk to you soon.
07:09Okay, bye.
07:11Therese?
07:14I was just talking to Nell.
07:16Nothing I say will cheer her up.
07:20Oh, hey, hey, come here, come here.
07:33I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.
07:35No, no, no, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have, I'm sorry.
07:40I, um, I should go to work.
07:43Yeah.
07:45I'll talk to you soon.
07:46Okay.
07:56I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.
07:58No, no, no, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have, I'm sorry.
08:02I'm sorry.
08:25So, can I just point out that I know it's completely impractical
08:31and that age is a big factor.
08:33Which is why we should talk about it now instead of in five years when you're supposed to open the letter.
08:38It would be crazy though.
08:39Can you imagine trying to find another donor?
08:41I'd be paranoid we'd get another Felix.
08:43I mean, no arguments here.
08:46Kara, like practicality aside, is this really what you want most?
08:53I couldn't write anything in your birthday dreams.
08:58Well, I love our family.
09:01Wouldn't it be great if there was more of us?
09:04And the baby years, how fun were they?
09:08Yes, very.
09:10And very chaotic.
09:13See, you don't want another one.
09:15That's where your mind went first.
09:16Hey, I didn't say that.
09:19Do you ever think about having a third?
09:23Not since Dex, he was little.
09:26I thought we agreed that...
09:29Yeah, I guess that feeling just never 100% went away for me.
09:36Well, if it is important to you then I would be open to talking about that.
09:42You say one thing but your face says another.
09:46It's fine, just forget it.
09:49You know, we both have way less energy and busier jobs.
09:54People have babies at 40 all the time.
09:57We'd both have to really want it to commit to the sleep business.
10:02Yeah, and the lack of free time.
10:06I'd never want to push you into anything you didn't want to do.
10:09But I'm worried that you'll have regrets.
10:12And I love you for that.
10:15But relax, okay?
10:17It was just a really lovely dream that I never expected to happen.
10:23Sure.
10:26You look absurd.
10:28Oh! Oh!
10:30Oh, sorry, sweetheart. I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that.
10:33No, no, my fault. Are you okay?
10:35Yeah, it's just a knock. It's just a knock.
10:36No, it's not. I've hurt you.
10:37It's alright. It's the same wrist I hurt a little while ago.
10:41That's all. Don't worry, sweetheart. It was an accident.
10:43I'll go get you the pain gel.
10:44Oh, thanks.
10:49Oh.
10:51Oh.
11:08Oh, hi. What brings you here?
11:10Therese.
11:11Ah, of course.
11:12Look, I just found her in the street in a bit of a state after a conversation with Nell.
11:17And look, I know that you're making an effort.
11:19I am.
11:20Yeah, but I just wondered if there's anything else you could do.
11:22Or maybe that I could do behind the scenes.
11:24Paul, no. We could spend day and night with Therese.
11:28She's still going to have low moments.
11:30Yeah, but just now she needed a shoulder to lean on and mine was the only one there.
11:35Oh.
11:36Yeah, if she hadn't have pulled away, I don't know what I would have done.
11:39Actually, I do. That's the problem.
11:41You said you needed to keep away from her, let alone...
11:43Hugging her in the street.
11:44Please.
11:45I know, I know.
11:46I just think her feelings towards you are more complicated than she realises.
11:49Her feelings? About me?
11:53I don't mean it like that.
11:55Yeah, well, hang on a second.
11:56As far as I'm aware, she's devastated because Toadie and the family moved away.
11:59But unless there's something I'm missing?
12:03No.
12:04No?
12:06She has tried very, very hard to get a hold of me.
12:08Oh, Paul, stop.
12:10I can assure you all Therese needs from you right now is friendship.
12:14Alright, yeah.
12:15Yeah, no, you're right if you say so.
12:17Yeah, so just get this whole conversation out of your head.
12:32Dad.
12:33What's going on with you and Mum?
12:35Don't brush me off.
12:37I spoke to Felix.
12:38Don't brush me off.
12:39I spoke to Felix.
12:41It's not like you're busy or anything.
12:44It's a downside of having time on your hands.
12:48Why are you acting so out of character?
12:51I mean, I can't even imagine you manhandling a suspect.
12:54It was just one stuff-up.
12:56It was just about your issues with Mum.
12:58Sadie, please.
12:59Just have a proper conversation with her.
13:02Without being defensive.
13:04Please, you have to and you need to.
13:07It's not that simple.
13:09Why isn't it?
13:18I don't know how to explain it.
13:21The more that I think, the more I just keep seeing her with Quinn.
13:28I know I wasn't deliberate.
13:30Obviously.
13:32But she still spent all night with this guy.
13:34She had some deep emotional connection with him.
13:37She told you it wasn't like that.
13:39Over and over again.
13:42I froze.
13:47She needed Quinn.
13:50Ever since this guy came into our lives,
13:56it's shown me that we're not what I thought we were.
14:01Dad.
14:05We won't be able to get our perfect marriage back.
14:08Don't say that.
14:12I don't know what else to tell you.
14:31I love you.
15:02I shouldn't be too long, Mum.
15:04I'll keep you posted.
15:06OK.
15:07Yeah, alright.
15:08Bye.
15:09I didn't know you were going to be here.
15:10Yes, I thought I'd do some paperwork.
15:13The healthiest distraction I could think of.
15:15I thought you'd gone home.
15:16Oh, I just popped back to see Hilary.
15:18She seemed a bit lonely earlier.
15:20Oh, well you go home.
15:21I'll play some cards with her later.
15:22No, I'll do it.
15:24I think I might owe you one.
15:28Why?
15:29Don't shoot me.
15:30Paul came to see me earlier and I wasn't on top of my game.
15:34I didn't say much, but I may have implied something of what we were talking about earlier.
15:40Susan.
15:41I know, I know.
15:42I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
15:43I told him that he misunderstood me, but I don't know that that's sunk in.
15:48What am I going to do?
15:49You just have to hope that he keeps doing the honourable thing and stays away from you.
15:54And if he doesn't, then you have to be very, very firm with him.
15:58Oh, it's Hilary.
16:00Why don't we all have a game of cards?
16:02No, no, I'm feeling suddenly tired.
16:05Very tired.
16:07I'm so sorry.
16:12Okay.
16:29I'll send through the names of some counsellors.
16:31They're all really experienced with family dynamics.
16:35Okay, well, I will leave that up to you.
16:38Alright.
16:39Bye.
16:42Is she okay?
16:43I hope so.
16:44Things seem really bad between her and Andrew.
16:47Well, hopefully that helps.
16:49I just texted JJ, reminding him we're here.
16:53Well, ten minutes late's not exactly un-resident in terms of time.
16:56Ten minutes late's not exactly un-resident in behaviour.
16:58Yeah, but you said that he was shocked when he read the letter.
17:01He was a bit out of the blue.
17:04Just hope he's not worried.
17:09My round again.
17:15So, I've got the names of some marriage counsellors.
17:19Remy's recommendations.
17:20Recommendations?
17:24Look, I don't know how we get back to the way we were, but maybe a professional can show us.
17:30Worth a shot.
17:33Do you mean that?
17:36Why not?
17:39So you're not just saying that to get rid of me?
17:42If I make the appointment, you will come?
17:46Schedule's wide open.
17:50Well, you don't sound very positive about it.
17:53We haven't even gone yet.
17:55Give me a chance.
17:59Alright.
18:01We'll let you know the details.
18:28Thanks.
18:37Okay, well now he's late late.
18:41Nope, he's here here.
18:43He doesn't look too traumatised.
18:45Hey, sorry I'm late. Forgot I had stuff to do for our reading.
18:48Hey, you know, if it's anything more than that you can say.
18:52Ma said you saw the letter?
18:54Yeah, um, so is that like serious?
18:58Another kid?
19:00I already told you Ma, it was just an idea.
19:03It wasn't a serious suggestion.
19:05We're not going to be turning our lives upside down any time soon.
19:08Good, I was worried I'd have to share a room with Dex.
19:10No one wants that kind of chaos.
19:12Everyone can take a breath.
19:14It's um, it's not because of me, is it?
19:19How do you mean?
19:21You know, because I'm sort of like the problem kid.
19:24I was wondering if you wanted a new model.
19:26No, no, don't think that.
19:29I just, I thought it would be nice to have more of a good thing.
19:32Okay.
19:34I love you two so much that I would clone you if I could.
19:37Well.
19:39You're my everything.
19:41You hearing me?
19:43Thanks.
19:45You know, actually, I wouldn't mind being cloned.
19:48Well, I'll look into it. Can't be more than IVF.
19:51Knock, knock, it's only me.
19:53Oh, let me guess who you've come to see.
19:56Hilary?
19:58Seriously, Paul, there's nothing I said before that should have you hot tailing it over here to find Therese.
20:03What?
20:05Is it such a crime that I should want to find out how Therese is feeling?
20:08In her own words, not second hand through you?
20:09You're the one who asked me to keep an eye on her so that you could step back.
20:13Paul, she's been through a hell of an ordeal.
20:16Her feelings are probably wildly swinging from one minute to the next.
20:20Please, please don't take advantage of that.
20:23Oh, well, thank you very much for your extreme lack of faith in my character.
20:27No, I just think that your initial instinct to back off was the right one.
20:31Yeah, and I am doing my utmost to keep to myself.
20:35Come on, I'm only human.
20:39And besides, I just, sometimes I think I just can't live without her.
20:47If your feelings for her are really so strong, it shouldn't be hard for you to put her needs first.
20:58Yeah.
21:09Come on.
21:31Hi.
21:32Hi.
21:33I came to say sorry.
21:35I, well, it's just you've needed me and I've been the exact opposite to available.
21:41But, you had your reasons for staying away. It's quite noble.
21:47Quite stupid, really.
21:49Of course, I can just be your friend. I don't know what I was thinking.
21:53That means more to me than anything else in the world and it doesn't matter if it's difficult for me.
21:57Oh, Paul.
21:58That's assuming you want me as your friend after all this idiocy.
22:05Actually, um,
22:11your timing couldn't be any better.
22:15I came so close, so close to drinking this.
22:19Yeah, that's not worth it, is it?
22:22I know. And I got myself into such a state.
22:30But you're exactly what I needed.
22:34Yeah.
22:55Coming up on Neighbours.
22:57Mike shouldn't be leaving you to tie up his loose ends.
22:59You're saying that.
23:00Really?
23:01It's confusing to believe that everything is going to turn out for the best.
23:04Are we still talking about Boylusk or Vic?
23:07I can't just be her friend, all right?
23:09Anyway, what if that's not what she wants either?
