00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Sign our petition.
00:04There's been a campaign to shut down the Boylusk event
00:06and it's started by the Ireni Rising residents.
00:08It's just this connection.
00:10You were too wrapped up in your own ego
00:12to even hear the truth about what happened with Quinn.
00:14I bet the names of some marriage counsellors.
00:16Worth a shot.
00:18You always know exactly what to say to me
00:20in a way that makes me very aware
00:22of what I'm missing out on.
00:24And I hope that you have many years of Bridey pleasure.
00:26I know that Mike and I were over a while ago
00:28but this feels like a full stop.
00:58Neighbours.
01:00Neighbours.
01:10Right. So I have narrowed it down to either
01:12New Horizon or Destiny Blue.
01:14Hmm?
01:16Myron? Hmm?
01:18What's the new colour for the cabinets? You can't tell by the name. You need to look.
01:20Oh. Sorry, Mum. It's just that Dad's money
01:22just dropped into our account.
01:24I really didn't think he was going to come through after last time.
01:26I know.
01:28Always a surprise when your father does the right thing.
01:30Anyway, the colour.
01:32Hmm?
01:34Yeah, the colour.
01:36I don't even know why you're repaying.
01:38I quite like the lilac.
01:40Thank you very much. Very helpful.
01:42What about...
01:44Oh, now who's distracted by their phone?
01:48No, it's Carl.
01:50He's been browsing the online classifiers
01:52and he's come across this.
01:54It's Mike's bike.
01:56Yeah. Back up for sale.
01:58So?
02:00They're trying to sell it for more
02:02than they paid me. Absolute gold.
02:04It's their bike now, Mum.
02:06They can do with it what they want.
02:10That number look familiar.
02:14Let me check.
02:18I think that's
02:20Vic's number.
02:24He's done it to me again.
02:26He has scammed me
02:28into selling him Mike's bike.
02:34I know things have been
02:36tense at home lately.
02:38I'll be okay.
02:40I just want everything to go back to normal.
02:44I can't believe I'm saying it,
02:46but I miss
02:48you guys being all loved up
02:50and embarrassing.
02:52Even in public.
02:54Yeah, we want that too.
02:56Which is why we're going
02:58to a therapy session today.
03:00That's so great!
03:02Yeah, I mean,
03:04it's a good first step.
03:06Anyway, we just want you to know that
03:08we're committed to
03:10trying.
03:12I know.
03:14And I don't
03:16say it enough.
03:18But I love you guys.
03:20I love you too.
03:22I need to go to work.
03:24Good luck.
03:26Bye.
03:30I'll fix out the belt.
03:38Thanks.
03:42Maybe when the money
03:44hits their account, the kids might be more inclined
03:46to take my word.
03:48He's hoping.
03:52Melanie, I feel like I crossed a line before.
03:54It's fine.
03:56No,
03:58it's not.
04:00The last thing I want is things to be difficult
04:02between us.
04:04I just think
04:06if we're going to be friends, then we need to be
04:08really careful with...
04:10Only stepping boundaries.
04:12Yeah, I agree.
04:14I'm sorry.
04:16Let me buy the coffee, Sam.
04:26I can't believe that I fell for it.
04:28Fell for what?
04:30Don't insult me, Vic.
04:32You bought Mike's wife
04:34anonymously for the sole purpose
04:36of selling it again for a profit.
04:38No, Jane, that's not... This is exactly the kind of
04:40underhanded trick that I should have expected from you.
04:42And to think that I was actually
04:44starting to buy your redemption act.
04:46And that I was silly enough to
04:48convince our children to accept
04:50your guilt money.
04:52No, I don't want to hear it, Vic.
04:54As far as I'm concerned, you can take your
04:56unethical profit and...
04:58Because I will not believe
05:00a single word that comes out of your mouth
05:02again.
05:04...
05:06...
05:08...
05:10...
05:12...
05:14Look, we are not cancelling boat laps.
05:16I'm not suggesting you do, but...
05:18Sorry, could you just make sure that that doesn't run in anyone's way?
05:20I'm sorry, I've just worked too hard and put too much
05:22energy into organising it.
05:24Plus the effort it's taken to get the performances sorted
05:26are not to scratch.
05:28Yeah, but if the petition gets enough signatures, you might need a contingency.
05:30No. Look, there's no contingency.
05:32Okay, if the event fails
05:34then it means that Paul was right all along
05:36and I can just see his face when he rubs it in.
05:38Okay, so what do we do?
05:40Burn the petition?
05:42I'm kidding. We can't burn the petition.
05:44...
05:46...
05:48...
05:50What about this?
05:52This applies to Felix's magic act.
05:54...
05:56...
05:58...
06:00...
06:02So how do you guys want to play this?
06:04Very carefully, please.
06:06So how long is it meant to take for the ink to vanish?
06:08Felix was going to use the pens at the beginning of the night
06:10and then reveal the trick right before the finale
06:12so it should be long enough.
06:14Okay, do you want me to do it?
06:16No, no. I got this.
06:18...
06:20...
06:22...
06:24...
06:26...
06:28...
06:30...
06:32Disgusting!
06:34Have you locked your door?
06:36...
06:38...
06:40Aaron!
06:42...
06:44...
06:46...
06:48Thanks for getting us in so quickly.
06:50Oh, anything for friends of Remy.
06:52So, what's brought you here today?
06:54...
06:56...
06:58...

09:10...
09:12...
09:14...
09:16♪ There's always all these deep cuts ♪
09:19♪ And it seems fitting to me ♪
09:23I don't even know why I'm surprised.
09:26This is exactly the kind of trick
09:28that I should have expected from Vic.
09:29It is textbook, Vic.
09:31Maybe it'd be better if you didn't find out about this.
09:34No, believe me, I'm glad that I did.
09:37It's weird he only marked it up by 10% though.
09:40Weird how?
09:41Well, like if he was trying to make a profit,
09:4310% isn't really enough for all the hustle it's worth.
09:47I've long given up trying to figure out
09:50how my ex-husband's money-grubbing mind works.
09:53I'm just saying.
09:56I should have just taken a leaf out of your books
09:58and just kept my distance.
10:01From now on, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
10:07I'm not saying you're lying, but maybe you made a mistake.
10:10I didn't make a mistake.
10:13I'm sorry.
10:20So strange.
10:21Moira swore she had four pages full of signatures.
10:24Four pages, seriously?
10:26Yeah, that's really weird.
10:27I mean, where could they have gone?
10:28So strange.
10:30Why would she even give you the petition?
10:32Well, apparently she wasted a whole day,
10:33her ankles are sore, and I tuned out after the rest.
10:36Hey, getting rid of that petition was huge.
10:39Sam, you're a genius.
10:41Can I have something?
10:41I don't know.
10:43Yeah.
10:46Maybe now we can hear from you, Andrew.
10:49How do you feel about your relationship?
10:57I feel like I just,
11:00you know, I don't mean as much to Wendy as I used to.
11:04Like she's outgrowing me.
11:07Can you explain that?
11:12Neither of us have ever had a connection
11:14with anyone else before.
11:16Now Wendy has, it's a massive shift.
11:20No.
11:22It was never about Quinn, though, Andrew.
11:25I explained that.
11:26It was about finding my identity.
11:28Yeah, I get that.
11:30I know that I don't share a culture with you guys.
11:35But I'm adopted and I know what it's like
11:36to feel like you don't belong.
11:41I wanted to go on this journey with you,
11:42even if it was with Quinn.
11:45But then you left me behind.
11:55So the pants are in twos
11:57and the front just rips off like that.
11:59Of course they do, whoa!
12:01And you are showing us because.
12:02Because I need to test the limits of the pants.
12:05Oh, did you see that?
12:07If I move too fast.
12:09Oh, he might go off a bit too early.
12:10Oh, nobody likes that.
12:13No, I'm serious.
12:14Like, this could make or break the show.
12:16So you're not wearing anything under there right now?
12:19No, I'm not.
12:20On the night, I will be,
12:21but right now it's just about testing out
12:23the limits of the pants.
12:24Hey, I'll tell you what game we could play, Aaron,
12:25that would really test that out for you.
12:27Twister!
12:29Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
12:31Trent, hey.
12:35No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:36Okay, just don't touch anything.
12:38Just turn the lines off and I'll be there soon.
12:40Okay.
12:42I have to fix a keg line at work.
12:43Aaron, how's that your responsibility?
12:44Because Wendy's at counselling.
12:45Trent's got no idea what he's doing.
12:47You're gonna be a mess.
12:57Only me.
12:58Hope I'm not interrupting.
12:59Oh, hi, Melanie.
13:00What can I do for you?
13:02Your family politics have nothing to do with me.
13:06But if I were in your shoes,
13:07I'd want to know the truth.
13:09This is about Vic.
13:11Vic did buy Mike's bike through a third party.
13:16But he paid the full asking price
13:18because he knew that you wanted a quick sale.
13:21He knew that it was hard for you.
13:25I don't know what Vic's told you,
13:26but that is not why he bought Mike's bike.
13:29He feels responsible for you and Mike breaking up.
13:32All he did was bring existing issues to a head.
13:35No, no, no, no.
13:36He was trying to take some of the weight off your shoulders.
13:43Did he also tell you that he has listed it
13:45for more than what he paid me?
13:47Not for profit, only as a buffer
13:51in case the new buyer tries to haggle.
13:54Vic only wants what he paid for it.
13:57Anything above and beyond that, he'll pass on to you.
14:01He said that?
14:01Mm-hmm.
14:03Well, I suppose he did just give the kids $100,000.
14:08I know you two have a complicated history,
14:11and I know he's done things that he regrets,
14:15but this was well-meaning.
14:18Why are you here defending him?
14:21Well, after that first time that we met at the waterhole,
14:25I bumped into him a few times.
14:28He feels like his family have pretty much
14:30He feels like his family have pretty much disowned him.
14:34I've just been a friendly ear.
14:53That's disgusting!
14:55No, no, hey, come on, don't do that, don't do that!
14:58Thanks, seriously!
14:59Why would you do that, come on?
15:01Sorry, sorry, come on, let's go.
15:02Just get me inside, get me inside!
15:09Ah, here he is.
15:10Good thing you keep your gym bag at work.
15:13Wendy sorted the keg line.
15:15Thanks.
15:16And for all your help out there.
15:18Look, I don't wanna know why or how,
15:21but Moira was headed straight to the station.
15:24Oh, great.
15:25Yeah.
15:27How about you?
15:28How did your counselling go?
15:32There was a lot of truth bombs.
15:35Mainly from Wendy.
15:36Bit hard opening up in front of a stranger?
15:39Oh, no, it's not that.
15:42I had stuff to say,
15:44but I just didn't think Wendy was ready to hear it.
15:51I still can't trust her.
15:53And I don't know how to change that.
15:54Hold on, isn't this the whole reason
15:56you're going to counselling?
15:59How do I know she's not hiding things
16:01in those sessions, too?
16:03I only have her word that nothing happened
16:05between her and Quinn.
16:13Come in.
16:18Surprised to get your message.
16:21You should have told me about the bike sale.
16:25Well, would you have let me sell it for you if I had?
16:30It's beside the point, Vic, and you know it.
16:33You're right, I'm sorry.
16:38Why do you always do these things?
16:40Again and again.
16:43Guilt.
16:45Contrition.
16:47I should never have written that letter.
16:48I mean, I hate that you and Mike broke up
16:51in the role I played in that.
16:52The role that you played?
16:54You did us both a favour.
16:58Mike and I had been living in denial for months.
17:00We were lying to ourselves that our marriage
17:03was ever going to work, and your letter was just
17:05the push I needed to do what had to be done.
17:10Is that what Mike thinks?
17:12Yes, he does.
17:19I don't need your thanks, Vic.
17:23I need your honesty.
17:26But for what it's worth, I do appreciate you
17:28taking on the bike sale.
17:29It's something that I really wasn't looking forward to.
17:33We've already had some interest,
17:34so it should sell again soon.
17:40Are you seriously going to do all that painting
17:42with that tiny brush?
17:46I wanted to do a good job.
17:48You'll be here for months.
17:50Move over.
17:58All right.
18:03Well, sounds like Andrew really saved your butt.
18:06Literally.
18:07Nick.
18:10No, but seriously, any news on the Moira front?
18:14Moira went straight to the police station
18:16to make a complaint.
18:19Nick, I'm going to be in a bit of strife for this.
18:22Look, they're going to be picketing
18:23at the front of Boylusk on the day.
18:25Chrissa, I am so sorry.
18:28Okay, I mean, they were always going to find a reason.
18:32I mean, it's not a bad thing.
18:36Free publicity.
18:38That's the spirit.
18:39Yeah, there's more than enough people around here
18:41with open minds to fill the venue, right?
18:43You know what?
18:44This could actually get people through the door.
18:45Yeah, exactly, right?
18:48We're going to turn this negative into a positive.
18:55You all right, Dad?
18:57Yeah, just running through some stuff in my head.
18:59About the counselling?
19:01If you don't want to talk about it, that's so fine.
19:02No, no, don't be silly.
19:03Look, you should be able to ask about that stuff
19:05whenever you like.
19:07Well, how'd it go?
19:10I think your mum and I got something out of it.
19:12That's a start.
19:14I was thinking of doing something nice for her.
19:18Maybe roping in her uni mates.
19:21She'd like that.
19:22Have you got Parker's number?
19:23I'll start with him.
19:24Yeah, I think so.
19:27Yeah, here you go.
19:28I'll send it to you now.
19:31Great.
19:31Anyway, it's my shout outside,
19:33but I'm glad it went well.
19:35Thanks.
19:37Can I go forward?
19:40Hey, Parker, it's Andrew.
19:43Wendy's husband.
19:44Yeah, yeah, good, good, good.
19:47Hey, I was just thinking of organising
19:49a little get together for Wendy.
19:52Yeah, could you send me through the numbers
19:54of all her uni mates?
19:55Like James and Mika.
19:58Quinn.
20:00Yeah, just text them through now.
20:01That'd be great.
20:02All right.
20:03Thanks, Parker.
20:04See you soon.
20:13I did not know how you put up with this
20:15hideous colour for so long.
20:18And now that is rich,
20:20coming from a man who wore geometric patterned knits
20:23for a decade after they went out of style.
20:25You love those geometric pants.
20:27I did not love those geometric pants.
20:29You wanted one yourself.
20:30Nah, what's all this?
20:32Oh, it's me.
20:33Can I have a look?
20:34Yeah, yeah.
20:35This is so cool.
20:36It's a book.
20:37This is so cool.
20:37This is so cool.
20:38It's a book?
20:39Yeah, it's a book.
20:40It's a book.
20:41It's a book.
20:42What's all this?
20:43Oh, I was wrong.
20:46Wait, should I be recording this?
20:49I misunderstood what your father was trying to do
20:51with Mike Spike, but we've worked everything out.
20:54Everything, just like that?
20:57No, we've been talking most of the afternoon.
21:00Yeah, been painting.
21:02Speaking of, you've got a spot on your nose.
21:04Oh, have I?
21:07I can't see anything.
21:08Really?
21:10How about now?
21:12Honestly, how old are you?
21:16A bit too.
21:19I'm going, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:20These tiny brushes are good for something.
21:21Yeah, get a bit more on you.
21:23I'll fight to the pink then.
21:25All right.
21:25All right, back to it.
21:26Lay down your weapon.
21:27Yes, come on.
21:28I can't believe you just did that.
21:30Here.
21:33All right.
21:43What are you doing here?
21:44I spoke to your mum.
21:46She told you to stay away.
21:47Sadie, I promise I'm not trying
21:49to get between your parents.
21:50The only reason I spoke to Wendy
21:52was because your dad asked to meet me here
21:55and I thought she should know.
21:57She was so mad.
22:02What have you done?
22:04Coming up on Neighbours.
22:06Cara's been talking about having another baby.
22:08She says it's just a dream, but I don't know.
22:12I'm really happy to see you,
22:13but what are you doing here?
22:14Is everything okay?
22:15How do I fix this?
22:16Because if I don't,
22:17then Dad's just gonna make things worse
22:19and if that keeps happening,
22:20then my family's gonna fall apart.
