00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I just need a place to crash.
00:04I just think Felix is a super annoying person,
00:06but if you want him there 24-7, that is up to you.
00:09I tried some of the exercises in your book.
00:11I can help you out if you want.
00:13If I see you wagging again, I'm going to go straight to your parents.
00:15Was that your first proper conversation with him?
00:17If you can call it that, yeah.
00:19The fertility clinic got us a late appointment tonight,
00:21if you're still interested.
00:22I am, if you are.
00:24I don't think I can go into work.
00:26I feel nauseous.
00:28What's going on?
00:58Neighbours, people have been good friends.
01:11Noel, sweetheart, what are you doing here?
01:19Have you been drinking again?
01:21No, of course not.
01:24This isn't what it looks like.
01:26I was just...
01:28About to have a glass of wine.
01:32No.
01:34I mean, I was tempted.
01:37I promise you, I haven't had a drop.
01:42Really?
01:44Really.
01:46You call me just in time.
01:50Hi, bud.
01:52Hi.
01:54Hey, did you get a chance to look at all that programming course stuff I sent you?
01:59Oh, yeah, I did. It was really cool.
02:02Does that mean you'll do it?
02:06Yeah, I mean...
02:08Now I can give you all my best study tips.
02:11Do you want me to change my mind?
02:13Susan.
02:15Oh, hi.
02:17Hi.
02:19I dropped by on Therese this morning.
02:21Oh, how was she?
02:22Honestly, a bit off.
02:24She did say she had a migraine, though.
02:26Oh, that's probably why she didn't open the door when I called over before.
02:29Yeah, probably.
02:30She said she was pretty nauseous when I saw her.
02:32And she looked wiped.
02:34Well, thanks for keeping me in the loop.
02:36I'll check in again later.
02:37Yeah, OK.
02:40Awkward.
02:46Sorry about that.
02:54Why can't he just get a coffee from where he works?
02:57We can't exile him to the tram forever.
03:00This exercise is stupid. How am I supposed to hold my breath for so long?
03:03I thought you were waiting for me.
03:05I just wanted to give it another go. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
03:08You're not using your diaphragm.
03:11I'm not using my diaphragm.
03:13I'm using my head.
03:15You're using your head.
03:17You're using your head.
03:19You're using your head.
03:21You're using your head.
03:24I'm using my head.
03:26I'm using my head.
03:27I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
03:29You're not using your diaphragm correctly.
03:32There, go in mate.
03:38Feel that muscle.
03:40Pull it in when you breathe out.
03:46Breathe in.
03:49Tighten and hold.
03:52Breathe out.
03:58Easier?
04:00Yeah.
04:02You got this.
04:06What's going on here?
04:08Um, I just had a bad customer. Right, Felix?
04:13Yeah, really rude.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Are you here about the broken apple post machine?
04:17Yes, I just spoke to the bank. Unfortunately we won't be back online until tomorrow.
04:21Okay, so are we cash only for the rest of the day?
04:24Yeah, is that a problem?
04:25It works for me.
04:28Hey guys, um, Felix, have you got a sec? We've had a bit of a snag with the show.
04:33Right, if I take five?
04:34Yeah, yeah, of course. Are you sure you don't need any extra performers? I've got some ideas.
04:40Thank you, but I don't think Aaron's brick can handle that much excitement again.
04:45I'm here if you need me.
04:47I know.
04:48Too much along.
04:55Hey.
05:02Everything's just been really difficult lately.
05:06Especially since your father took you and Hugo away.
05:11I'm so sorry.
05:12No, it's not your fault.
05:16I just miss you so much.
05:18I miss you too.
05:21And I've been trying not to let everything get to me.
05:26And I've just, I've been feeling so isolated and alone.
05:32I just couldn't do it anymore.
05:35Is this the first time you've thought about drinking?
05:42Um, no.
05:46But it's the first time that I've come close to giving in to the urge.
05:55I hate seeing you like this.
05:58Please, don't worry about me.
06:02This was just a little slip up.
06:05And seeing you has made me realise how important it is to stay sober.
06:12I'll get rid of the bottle and I'll start going to AA meetings again, whatever it takes.
06:18So there's no need to tell anyone what you saw today, okay?
06:25Okay, okay, whoever finishes this lap first has to make me a snack.
06:28What?
06:30You just won.
06:32Boys, homework.
06:34But I did it at school.
06:36Sweet, since you've already finished you can help me with mine.
06:38There you go, but...
06:39Come here.
06:41Fine, I'll go get my stuff.
06:45Oh, hey, great news.
06:47I can start work a little late, which means I can come to your fertility test with you tonight.
06:52Great.
06:53Hey, it's going to be okay, you don't need to be nervous.
06:57It's not that, I'm actually just a bit worried about money.
07:01Oh?
07:02Well, fertility treatments can add up and kids aren't exactly cheap.
07:07Yeah, but I mean I know it was tough last time, but we're in a very different position to when we had the boys.
07:13I'm actually talking more about Dex's course.
07:16The upfront fee is really pricey and then there's all these ongoing costs.
07:21And then the home insurance has just gone up, rego, interest rates.
07:24Okay, so we'll tighten our belts a bit.
07:27I mean, I know cashflow's not ideal, but it's an important one for Dexy.
07:35I still think you should tell someone.
07:40I can't.
07:42It's too humiliating.
07:44What about Susan? She's your sponsor, right? She'd understand.
07:48No, she works for me.
07:49There has to be someone else.
07:53Nell, I've already let you down today, and myself. I couldn't stand letting anyone else down as well.
08:00I should probably go.
08:03Hey, why aren't you in Colac anyway?
08:07I wanted to see you and JJ.
08:11Dad doesn't know.
08:15How is he?
08:16He's found a counsellor in Colac.
08:20He's doing really well.
08:24I don't think he'd be too happy about you sneaking off.
08:27Yeah, well I thought it was worth the risk.
08:31Tell you what, you keep my secret, I'll keep yours. Deal?
08:41Deal.
08:42Deal.
08:47First a petition, now a picket. These two really haven't been there, Bonnet, have they?
08:50I know, and Krista has tried everything to try and talk them down, but they just will not have a bar of it.
08:56Don't worry, it'll take more than a picket line to stop Boyle-esque.
09:00So, have you found a way to stop this protest yet?
09:02We are working on it.
09:04Aaron, the event is tomorrow evening.
09:05Yes, I'm very aware of this.
09:07Alright.
09:08Well, seeing as you can't get the situation under control, I'd better take matters into my own hands.
09:11No, hey, hold on. I don't have to do that.
09:15Things seem to be going well here.
09:18They are.
09:19Yeah?
09:20Yeah.
09:21I know there was a little bit of tension between you and Felix at the beginning. That seems to have resolved itself.
09:27Yeah, things are good. He's actually been a lot more helpful than I expected.
09:35Great. Great lot of help you've been.
09:38Sorry, I just had something on my mind.
09:41Like what?
09:43Do you think me and Mara are doing okay? Like, financially?
09:46Oh, well, I don't think they're rich, but I don't think we'll be living off baked beans anytime soon either.
09:52Why?
09:54I'm worried they can't afford my course.
09:56Are you trying to get out of it?
09:58No, I just don't want to put pressure on them because of it.
10:02Well, you saw how happy they were when you said you'd do it, even if they weren't trying to play it off cool.
10:07Well, they should never play poker then.
10:09Hmm. I might get a snack. Do you want anything?
10:12Uh, thanks.
10:22Finally, my turn.
10:23Whoa.
10:25What? I thought you were in the process, Nicole. Like, what are you doing here?
10:30Um, I have a favor I need to ask.
10:33Sure.
10:34Can you keep an eye on Therese for me?
10:37Why?
10:38Um, it's just that I think she's really lonely and, you know, you see her all the time,
10:44so I thought maybe you could tell me if something's not right.
10:48Sorry, so do you want me to spy on Therese for you?
10:51No. I just want you to look out for her. Please.
10:57Sure, yeah, if that's really important to you.
10:59It is.
11:03You're the best. I should go.
11:09Oh, I just wanted to check that you hadn't gotten any worse.
11:12I'm better now.
11:13Oh, gee, that's good. That's a quick recovery.
11:16Yeah, well, lucky me.
11:20So, was there anything else?
11:22Uh, yeah. I just wondered if you'd like to go to Boylesque together tomorrow night?
11:27Oh, no. No, I was planning on giving Matt a wide berth.
11:32Are you sure? I think it's important that Irenia Rising show support for such a worthy cause.
11:37Well, we did. We made a donation.
11:39Yeah, let's hope Laura and Hilary never find out about that.
11:44Oh, Therese, come on. Come out. It'll be fun.
11:50Better than sitting around an empty house.
11:54All right, fine. Cut me in.
11:59Well, hey, seeing JJ defend Felix today was a bit of an eye-opener.
12:03Yeah, we did too good a job at keeping that kid polite.
12:08It just seems that somewhere inside JJ there's still a hurt boy who just wants to get to know Felix.
12:14Seems that at some point he's going to want to connect with him, and that might be sooner rather than later.
12:19Yeah, well, I'm not looking forward to that day.
12:22Whenever that is, we've got to do things differently.
12:27Trying to keep those two apart just makes more problems than it solves.
12:31Sometimes I wish you were a little less wise, Remy.
12:36Let me think about it.
12:37Yeah, yeah, of course.
12:40I should be focusing on your report.
12:45Yeah, hey. Thanks for being here.
12:49As if I'd miss it. This is really exciting.
12:53I'm trying not to get my hopes up until we get the results back.
12:57Might be all a bust.
12:58Whatever happens, we're in it together.
13:12Felix! Felix! Open up, it's me!
13:28Holly? What's going on?
13:31The breathing isn't working. Nothing's working. I feel like I'm going to be sick.
13:35Alright, slow down.
13:37I don't know what to do.
13:39We've tried together. Come stand.
13:47Give me your arm.
13:52I'll let you drive home.
13:59Thanks.
14:06Calling in all night, I won't speed up the test results.
14:09I just wanted to talk to you.
14:12I've been thinking about what you said. About JJ and Felix.
14:16And?
14:20Even though I hate it, you were right. We did mess things up last time.
14:26OK, what do you want to do about it?
14:28Try and exist in the same space.
14:32I hate to admit it, but we wouldn't have JJ without him.
14:36Proud of you.
14:39I don't know how I'm actually going to do it.
14:43Just looking at the guy makes me want to lose it.
14:48Maybe you just need some exposure therapy.
14:52What does that mean?
14:53It means tomorrow we're going to have breakfast at the tram.
15:07Better now?
15:09Heaps.
15:12I just wish I could do it on my own.
15:15Didn't know breathing was so difficult.
15:19It takes a bit of practice. You'll get there.
15:24OK.
15:27Thanks for being so nice to me.
15:30Especially after I was such a prat.
15:33Ah, I'm in no position to judge.
15:43Maybe it's time you stopped hiding.
15:46What you're going through.
15:48And lent on your people.
15:49No, I couldn't do that.
15:52They'd think that I was going crazy.
15:55No, they wouldn't.
15:57Because you're not.
15:59It feels like I am.
16:02You've been through a lot of trauma.
16:05And it usually comes with a pretty hefty price tag.
16:11You talk to your dad?
16:13No. No way.
16:15Why not?
16:16He's a dude.
16:18And he clearly loves the heck out of you.
16:23I'm always disappointing him.
16:29I make really bad decisions.
16:32I hurt people.
16:35It would be so selfish if I asked for help now.
16:42I just wish I could be a better person.
16:44Like you.
16:47I'm far from perfect.
16:50Yeah, but you're trying.
16:55Well, you can't start making better decisions until you forgive yourself.
17:00And that's step one.
17:02And it's hard.
17:04But it's worth it.
17:15You sure you're okay staying here?
17:20I'm just grateful to have a roof over my head.
17:24Yeah, but it's not exactly homey.
17:27Yeah, it's all I can really afford right now.
17:31But I'm working on that.
17:32Yeah.
17:42Ah, Susan, you haven't seen Therese, have you?
17:46Not today, no. Why?
17:48I've got a couple of Lassiter's Day spa vouchers for Moira and Hilary.
17:52Just thought you might be able to pass them on.
17:54Very generous of you.
17:56No, just a bit of gentle persuasion to help stop them picketing outside the boilers.
18:00Oh, sounds more like a bribe to me.
18:03No, just a sound business sense.
18:06Well, let me pass them along. I work at Ireney as well.
18:09Oh, no, no, no. I don't want to put you out. No.
18:12Oh, trust me, Paul. Moira and Hilary will find me at some point today to complain about something. It is no trouble.
18:18All right, thanks. Let's hope they do the trick, eh?
18:22Yeah.
18:30Hey, look, you can stay. I was just about to go.
18:33No, I want to break the rules again.
18:35About that.
18:37Felix, thanks for not telling my mother you saw him at Nell.
18:40Yeah.
18:42I said I wouldn't.
18:44I just wasn't sure if you should keep your word.
18:46Well, you have to keep yours now too, right?
18:48No more skipping school when your girlfriend's in town, yeah?
18:51I know. I won't have to go.
18:53Good.
18:55So, does this mean we're...
18:56So, does this mean we're all square now?
18:58Speak for yourself. I'm pretty cool.
19:00Oh, not if you crack jokes like that.
19:05All right, I better get going now.
19:07Um, thanks again.
19:10Anytime.
19:17OK, well, thanks for letting me know.
19:19Yeah, great, thanks. Bye.
19:20The courier company swears that Moira's box of wine was full when it got here,
19:24which obviously means the bottle was taken after it was delivered.
19:27Which means it was taken by someone from here.
19:29That seems so unlikely, but yeah, that's what it's looking like.
19:32Moira is not going to be happy.
19:34Between this and the picketing, she has turned out to be quite a handful.
19:39Hmm.
19:41Hey.
19:43Hmm?
19:45You wouldn't want to update Moira for me, would you?
19:47Go on.
19:49She's already given me an ear bashing this week.
19:51As much as I'd like to.
19:53I'm needed at the trail.
19:55Suspiciously convenient timing.
19:58All right, well, I'm back in the firing line.
20:00Perhaps those vouchers from Paul will help ease the blow.
20:03Yeah.
20:05All right, good luck.
20:07Thanks.
20:18Are we really doing this?
20:20Yep.
20:22We need to get better at being around Felix for JJ's sake.
20:26Yeah, I know, but saying that is one thing, actually doing it is a whole other ballgame.
20:33I wasn't expecting to see you guys here.
20:36Yeah, well, we thought we'd try something other than Harold's.
20:40Who knows? We might come back more often.
20:42Right, um, well, work out your order and pop in when you're ready.
20:54See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
20:56Jury's still out on that one, but this is for JJ, so I'll stay the course.
21:03Did you get any sleep last night?
21:05Yeah, thanks to you.
21:07Do you want to hear more about talking to your old man?
21:09That's not right.
21:12Hey, did you accurately record all the sales yesterday?
21:16Yeah, of course, why?
21:18Oh, I'm just doing the reconciliation and the amount banked is different from the sales.
21:23It's a $300 difference.
21:25Yeah, I know, $300 out. It came in after Felix banked the rest.
21:28It should be in your envelope next to the till.
21:30I'm going to take it on the next bank drop.
21:32Right, um.
21:33Well, there's nothing here.
21:42Well, then somebody's taken it.
21:45Well, no. No one's been near the till except for us.
21:51Well, it wasn't me.
21:54Well, maybe it got mistaken as rubbish.
21:58If it was thrown in the bin, I'd have taken it.
22:01If it was thrown out, that would be gross negligence.
22:05If it was stolen, it was theft.
22:09If it's not found or returned to me, by the end of the day, I'm going to have to contact the police.
22:17Now, Felix, I don't want to believe you've done anything wrong, but this happened on your watch.
22:24I'm going to have to let you go.
22:30No.
22:36Coming up on Neighbours.
22:38Felix didn't do it.
22:39Then where did the money go?
22:40He gave you the chance to prove yourself.
22:42And all you've done is show us exactly who you are.
22:44Well, this protest that Hilary and Moira have organised could derail everything.
22:47Give it up for the boys of the Ehrenbarth Boys' Club.
