00:00Are you alright mate?
00:03300 bucks went missing from the tram.
00:06Carl reckons I took it.
00:07But you can't dad.
00:08Getting the cops involved will make it 10 times worse.
00:10Felix didn't do it.
00:11Then where did the money go?
00:12I don't know, but he wouldn't take it.
00:13Not after you've been so good to him.
00:14I don't want to think the worst of anyone, alright?
00:17Unfortunately with Felix's precedent, Carl seemed pretty certain.
00:20And to think I was the one who wanted to give Felix another chance.
00:22I absolutely won't make that mistake again.
00:25Felix only just got that job and started finding his feet.
00:28Why would he throw that away now?
00:29Do you guys think I did it?
00:31Oh, you know, you're just trying to wrap our heads around it all, mate.
00:37Whatever.
00:38One way or another, the truth will come out.
00:49Set the scene for the big night.
00:50Oh yeah, I love a little bit of ambiance.
00:53Are you coming to Boyland?
00:55Oh, well it sounds like fun, but I don't think Byron wants me here.
00:58The kids have made it pretty clear I have to keep my distance.
01:00Oh, that's a shame.
01:02That means you get to miss out on my fantastic outfit.
01:06I believe it's going to turn a few heads.
01:08That definitely sounds worth the price of admission.
01:12But it's obviously the right call to respect the kids' wishes.
01:15I think so, yeah.
01:17Well, break a leg, I'm sure you'll knock them down.
01:20Thanks.
01:23I'll go.
01:24See ya.
01:28See ya.
01:35Ta-da!
01:37What do you reckon?
01:38They came up a treat.
01:39They look great.
01:40Yes, well thank you.
01:41Because I think your father got more paint on my shirt than he did on the cabinets.
01:45So what, I should have used the tiny brush.
01:47Well, it saved me from having to throw that shirt out.
01:50Which reminds me, you should come to this Boylesque tonight.
01:54Well, I assume Byron would rather I skip it.
01:57Oh, surely not.
01:58It is for charity.
02:00I'll text him and ask.
02:01The whole neighbourhood's going to see me.
02:03The Starkers.
02:04Why not Dad as well?
02:05Make it even weirder.
02:07Honestly, I think he's coming because of Mum.
02:10They're getting along weirdly well.
02:13It's actually sort of kind of oddly sweet.
02:16Hang on, what's going on here?
02:17I thought we both agreed we weren't going to let our guard down around here.
02:19I'm not.
02:20I'm just letting you know that I think Mum might be.
02:23And just so you know, I will have my eyes closed when you perform tonight.
02:26The Starkers thing.
02:28As you can see, the Waterhole is currently undergoing its transformation.
02:32Beautiful.
02:34Hey, you're still going to be able to go on, mate.
02:35How's the hearing?
02:36Oh, don't you worry about me.
02:37I've reworked my act.
02:38I am still going to give the people what they want.
02:40It's going to be a huge hit, I can tell.
02:43Yeah, I wouldn't jump the gun if I were you.
02:46Well, this protest that Hilary and Moira have organised could derail everything.
02:49I thought you were sorting that out.
02:51Yeah, I tried, but I don't know if it's actually worked or not.
02:55Guess we'll find out tonight, won't we?
03:01Hey, Aaron.
03:02Hey.
03:03Are you excited for tonight?
03:04Yeah, I think it's going to be a blast.
03:06Can't wait.
03:07Especially that reveal.
03:08Yeah, I think as long as we can get everyone in the room up on their feet, that's the main thing.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Alright, well, see you tonight.
03:13Yeah.
03:14See?
03:16Mate, he has cartoon love eyes every time I see him.
03:18What? No, I told you, he's just being friendly.
03:21You are so oblivious.
03:22He's the biggest smitten kitten that I've ever seen.
03:24So you don't even know if he's actually gay?
03:27Yeah, I do.
03:29Sam, can we get that microphone ready so we can make him do a sound check?
03:32Good idea.
03:35Hey, guys, what's up?
03:37You seem a bit stressed.
03:38If you guys want to do one last minute rehearsal, we can run through the choreo again.
03:42It's not about the show.
03:44Carl's accused me of stealing from the tram.
03:46He's fired me.
03:48It's not true, but I can't prove it.
03:49Are the police formally involved?
03:51No, not yet.
03:53If this is still up in the air, maybe it's best you bow out of the performance.
03:56But I didn't do anything wrong.
03:58I believe you.
03:59But if Carl makes a big deal out of this, it could really derail the night.
04:04Right.
04:06Yeah, got it.
04:08I'm really sorry, Felix.
04:09I'm really sorry, Felix.
04:18Do you believe me?
04:22Yeah, I do.
04:24You made so many changes for the better, I doubt you'd ruin that for a few hundred bucks.
04:28Thanks.
04:30That means a lot.
04:32Felix.
04:33Felix.
04:38I gave you the chance to prove yourself.
04:40And all you've done is show us exactly who you are.
04:42Hang on, let's not jump the gun here.
04:43I'm not even upset with you.
04:44I'm upset with myself for letting my guard down.
04:46But that won't happen again.
04:48This is a parole violation and theft.
04:51Now, brother or no brother, as a police officer, you have a responsibility to address this.
04:56What about innocent until proven guilty?
04:57Yeah, well, it seems that's only a matter of time.
05:00Because if Kyle doesn't make a formal report, I will.
05:13Um, I've been thinking, and tell me, it's a zip it if I'm out of line.
05:19Sounding ominous.
05:21It's about Nicolette.
05:23I know she really misses living with Isla.
05:25Do you think you'll ever have her back under your roof?
05:28Probably.
05:30But it'll happen in its own time.
05:34Is this your cue to try and plead Nicolette's case?
05:38Step in and try and fix everything?
05:40No, not at all.
05:42I mean, I'd love to stick my oar in, but the kids have made it pretty clear it's not my place.
05:48We all appreciate you taking that on board.
05:57Jesus.
06:13Hey.
06:16I've been looking for you.
06:21Look, don't worry. Dad's just worked up right now, but I'll make him see some sense.
06:25Doesn't matter.
06:27Remy said she'll report me even if Kyle doesn't.
06:30Well then I'll work on convincing her too.
06:32And then the next person? And the next?
06:36Is that just my life now?
06:38Needing people to stick up for me?
06:42Maybe I should just accept it.
06:44From now on, whatever I do, people are only going to see my past.
06:48Hey, you can't think like that.
06:49You can't think like that.
06:52You're religious now, right? That means that you believe good things happen to good people.
06:56It's only ever that simple.
06:58Well it should be. Otherwise what's the point in having faith?
07:03Don't give up.
07:05I believe in you.
07:20Therese.
07:22I wanted to say sorry about intruding the other day. I should have called first.
07:25Oh no, please, don't apologise.
07:27My migraine made me a little grumpy.
07:29Are you feeling better now though?
07:31Yes, yes, I'm fine.
07:33So where's Kara this evening?
07:35Great question. I thought she was meeting me here.
07:37Oh, thank you.
07:40Oh.
07:42Oh.
07:44Oh.
07:46Oh.
07:47Oh.
07:53If anyone starts singing, I dream a dream.
07:55Oh.
07:58Do you need a drink?
08:00Oh, I wouldn't say no to some bubbles.
08:02Okay.
08:04What is it with you two?
08:06Oh, we just called an early dinner.
08:08Like a date?
08:10No. No, like two people with a lot of history catching up before their son's show.
08:15What are you getting at?
08:17It's making my head spin.
08:19Oh, just being civil. For the sake of the family, that is all.
08:22Hey, hey.
08:24You made it.
08:26Oh, you weren't kidding about that outfit.
08:28This whole thing? Oh, you should see it when I really make an effort.
08:32Hey.
08:34Hey, come here. You're going to want to see this.
08:36Is it a protest?
08:41Stop the smut! Stop the smut! Stop the smut! Stop the smut!
08:45Stop the smut!
08:49Is this it?
08:51Seems like it.
08:53But what happened to Hilary and Moira?
08:55I thought they were going to bring half of the Irene residents.
08:57Seems like those vouchers you got paid off, Dad.
08:59No, Susan said Moira didn't take them.
09:01Well, I'd still call it a win.
09:03Yeah, no complaints from me. Will you help me move them along?
09:05Thanks, guys.
09:07Alright, folks, come on. You've made your points. It's time to move it along.
09:09Look at this. I mean, it's a lot of pressure being the first.
09:11I've seen what you're showing and nobody will be disappointed.
09:13Look, that's what I'm saying.
09:15What if I mess up and everything goes too fast and I end up just showing the audience all my bits?
09:18Everything just comes out. It's hanging in the wind.
09:20It's in the wind.
09:22We have bigger issues than that. Felix has pulled out. We're a man down.
09:24Okay, so the show's a little bit shorter. Is it really the end of the world?
09:26I could help.
09:28Oh, come on. You're a man short and not ready for the spotlight.
09:32Hey, show us. Come on.
09:38Welcome, my friends, to the home of your deepest desires.
09:42It's going to be hilarious.
09:45It's going to be cheeky, and when I say cheeky, I mean cheeky.
09:49And best of all, it's all for a fabulous cause.
09:53So, sit back, relax, and put your hands together for the lads of the Errands Bar.
10:00Join us.
10:42Yes!
10:54Well, someone in this room has been very, very bad.
10:58But it is my duty to pull them back into line.
11:05Ma'am, would you like to come onto the stage with me?
11:11Woo!
11:13Woo!
11:15Woo!
11:17Woo!
11:19Woo!
11:21Woo!
11:23Woo!
11:25Woo!
11:27Woo!
11:30Woo!
11:32Woo!
11:34Woo!
11:41Hey.
11:43Oh, hey. I was just getting some fresh air.
11:47Yeah, me too.
11:49Oh, listen, thanks for my card and gift.
11:55You know, Therese, I really wish things were different. I miss you.
12:02I miss you too.
12:12Lickety-split!
12:14Woo!
12:16It's Bob with a K, I don't care what you say.
12:19I do business in every way.
12:21If you're feeling ill, don't take ill.
12:23Come see me, I'll make you ill.
12:25All right!
12:27My motor's on full, I'm just down the hall.
12:29Give me a shout, I'll be at your door.
12:31Just be smart when you make it.
12:33Cause if it doesn't come, I'm gonna have to charge.
12:35Oh, you'll be free.
12:37Free as a river.
12:39See you in May.
12:41Free as a river.
12:43One more time, you'll be free.
12:45Free as a river.
12:47Hooray!
13:12Woo!
13:30Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
13:32It's taking too long, it's taking too long.
13:37So, shall I do this one for you then?
13:39Woo!
13:42Oh, we have come down to, at last, the grand finale.
13:47But I promise, we won't leave you high and dry.
13:50Thanks. So, what's yours?
13:52I was thinking, afterwards, maybe we could get a drink.
13:55Oh, of course, yeah, that's it. We're all gonna deserve a drink after this.
13:57Yeah, I was thinking, maybe just...
13:59So, ladies and gentlemen, one last time, give it up for the boys of the Ehrensbauer Boylist!
14:05Woo!
14:11Woo!
14:13Woo!
14:15Woo!
14:17Woo!
14:19Woo!
14:21Woo!
14:23Woo!
14:25Woo!
14:27Woo!
14:29Woo!
14:31Woo!
14:33Woo!
14:35Woo!
14:37Woo!
14:39Woo!
14:41Woo!
14:43Woo!
14:45Woo!
14:47Woo!
14:49Woo!
14:51Woo!
14:53Woo!
14:55Woo!
14:57Woo!
14:59Woo!
15:01Woo!
15:03Woo!
15:05Woo!
15:07Woo!
15:09Woo!
15:11That was perfect. You should be so proud.
15:15Yeah, I'll second that.
15:17Well, I've just spoken to the police youth outreach team and they are absolutely thrilled.
15:22Not to mention the brilliant PR it's been for Macedon.
15:25So what I'm hearing is that you were wrong to ever doubt me and it'll never happen again.
15:30Yeah, don't push it.
15:31I'm still confused as to why the protest was such a fizzle.
15:33Oh, I can shed some light on that.
15:36Irene Rising got hold of some free tickets for an over-70s swing dance event
15:40and Moira and Hilary were more than happy to take them off our hands.
15:43Really? And that was all your doing?
15:46I couldn't possibly comment.
15:48Susan, you saved our butts.
15:51OK, have you got a sec?
15:57There you are. You missed the whole show.
16:00Yeah.
16:02What's going on?
16:04Something felt off about the whole tram situation, so I spent some time sussing the place out.
16:09I thought I was the only amateur sleeping around here.
16:11I'm not sure I'm comfortable with you rifling through my business.
16:14Well, does this change your mind?
16:22Where did you find this?
16:24It had fallen down a gap between the counter and the register.
16:27But we searched there.
16:29Well, I had to unscrew that loose panel to get to it.
16:33It seems I was a bit careless.
16:35But not a bit.
16:37I knew it.
16:39I feel excited.
16:41I don't know what to say. I'm mortified. I'm sorry.
16:44So am I.
16:48Can you accept my apology and would you come back to work at the tram?
16:52Deal.
16:53Clean slate?
16:54Clean slate, yeah.
16:56I can't thank you enough.
16:59You were spectacular.
17:01You were funny, charming.
17:03You are far too kind.
17:05Not at all. As I mentioned, you looked breath-taking.
17:08Yeah, you did, but you can do it again if you really want.
17:11Honestly, it was just so good that you could make it.
17:13Yeah.
17:15I saw a whole other side of you.
17:17And I don't just mean the outfit.
17:19You're a very special person now.
17:28Cheers.
17:48What's up?
17:50I'll do the same thing.
17:59I have to admit, it was odd seeing much Isle doing a striptease.
18:04I'm just impressed with his dance moves.
18:06Couldn't get his rhythm from me.
18:09Okay, well, I might head home. I need to pack.
18:12Pack? Are you feeling all right?
18:14Last-minute decision.
18:16I'm going to Adelaide for a few days.
18:19I think it might be nice to visit Piper.
18:21Oh, that sounds lovely.
18:22Will you both be able to hold forward at work?
18:24Yes, yes, yes, of course. You just look after yourself.
18:27And give Isle off to Piper.
18:28I will, I will. I'll text you.
18:30Okay.
18:36Another round?
18:37Oh, no, I'm good, thank you.
18:46I was surprised you invited Vic to join us for a nightcap.
18:49Oh?
18:51Surprised I?
18:53Because five minutes ago you didn't want to know.
18:55Now you're getting on like a house on fire.
18:58You sound like Nicolette.
19:00Well, that just tells me that I'm right.
19:04Is there something going on between you two?
19:08I don't know. I suppose I realised I may have been a little hasty writing him off.
19:14He really is trying.
19:20Are you developing feelings for him again?
19:26He's caught me by surprise.
19:28More than anyone.
19:29Yes.
19:30I think I'm falling in love with him again.
