00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:03I'm going to Adelaide for a few days.
00:06Maybe we could get a drink? Maybe just you and me?
00:10I love you both.
00:13Honestly, it was just so good that you could make it.
00:15You're a very special person now.
00:18I think I'm falling in love with him again.
01:01So are we going to talk about what happened on stage?
01:03Or are you planning on avoiding me forever?
01:05I'm sorry. I was just a little overwhelmed. That's all.
01:10Is this because I asked you out for a drink?
01:13Brett, it's not that I'm not flattered.
01:14It's just that I'm just not ready to be dating anyone at the moment.
01:17It's fine. I understand.
01:20But if you change your mind, you've got my number.
01:23You know, I hate to say it, but Krista's rent buffer's almost dried out.
01:31Time to find a new roommate.
01:33Yeah, not looking forward to that whole palaver.
01:35Yeah, tell me about it. The whole advertising, interviewing,
01:39weeding out weirdos and sitting around waiting for no-shows.
01:43You could host an open house.
01:44I mean, that way everyone sees the property at the same time.
01:47You can weed out the weirdos and then only interview the people you think you might jell with.
01:50That's actually a great idea.
01:52Yeah, I could start organising that tonight and we could maybe do it tomorrow.
01:56Yeah, sounds good to me.
01:57What sounds good?
01:58Hey, Vera. How are you? Did you get to enjoy the show tonight?
02:03Well, unfortunately, I was called away on urgent business.
02:07Maybe you could do an encore for me. Give me a little taste of what I missed.
02:12Oh, me? I'm actually... Tuck it out. Oh no, Rhett.
02:15Hey, this is Rhett Norman.
02:17This is Rhett Norman. He was actually part of Boylesque
02:19and is actually an award-winning real estate agent, hey?
02:23Charmed, I'm sure.
02:27To say I'm surprised, you and me both.
02:31At first I thought maybe I was just on the rebound from my biggest...
02:35I do have form on that front.
02:40I can truly see that Vic is becoming a different person.
02:45Because when things first started to go wrong in our marriage,
02:49I was so preoccupied with Nan, I put Vic first.
02:53Yes, but from what you've told me, he also hurt you as well.
02:57Yeah. Yeah, well, terribly.
03:01The cheating was awful and I thought I'd never forgive him
03:04after he abandoned the kids when he was here last,
03:06but at the same time, you think I'm crazy, don't you?
03:10No, no. I mean, look at me and Carl.
03:13There was a time I thought I could never forgive him.
03:16Wait, exactly.
03:17If you two hadn't have drawn a line under everything that went wrong,
03:20you wouldn't be together today.
03:22I just want you to be really sure before you act on anything.
03:26But my eyes are wide open.
03:28Yes.
03:31Oh, who's texting you at this time of night?
03:34Ah, yeah, nobody important.
03:37OK, I might just pop this on now while we have our tea.
03:40Let the music do the talking.
03:47I'm starting to wonder if I might have chose the wrong line of work.
03:50I think a police officer is a much more stable career for you.
03:58Hey, it'll be great to have your mummy tomorrow.
04:01You'll be around, right?
04:02I'm ordering all her favourite Chinese dishes for her birthday
04:05and I'm getting heaps of fortune.
04:07Dad.
04:09I don't think she's coming home.
04:12She sounded serious when she said she needed space.
04:16Your mum and I have spent every birthday together since we were teenagers.
04:19She'll be there.
04:23I'm sure you'll agree, it's definitely got a vibe.
04:25Oh, definitely.
04:26Reminds me of the band that was playing the night we met.
04:30The Mighty...
04:31Kangaroos?
04:32Koalas.
04:34Ah, there's a name to conjure with you.
04:43I think I can see what first attracted you to each other.
04:47Sometimes it feels like we're back in Earl's Court where we first met.
04:52Only older and wiser.
04:54Yeah.
04:56Oh, thank goodness for that.
04:59Would you like to hear the extended mix?
05:01It's only about 14 minutes.
05:03Ah, maybe another time.
05:05Yeah, we're getting a bit late.
05:07Is it?
05:08Yes, yes.
05:09I should get going too.
05:10Thanks for coming back.
05:11Thank you for the tea.
05:12It was a lot of fun.
05:13Yes, of course.
05:14It was a great night, wasn't it?
05:15Yeah, we must do it again.
05:16So much fun.
05:17Bye, go well.
05:18See you soon.
05:19Bye.
05:20OK.
05:21Bye.
05:23OK, so who texted you before?
05:24And don't say no one important,
05:25because I could tell by your shifted behaviour that you're up to something.
05:31It was Mike.
05:32Jane's Mike?
05:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:34When I was interested in buying his bike, I was texting him questions,
05:37and out of that he offered me the opportunity to do one of his bike tours in Italy.
05:43No, no, no, no, no.
05:44Before you say no, it only cost me the airfare because someone pulled out
05:47so he said I could do the tour for free.
05:49That's free, Susan.
05:51Yes, yes, yes.
05:52Carl, your favourite word, I know.
05:54Why didn't you just say it was Mike in the first place?
05:57I didn't want to make things uncomfortable for Jane.
05:59Well, Jane knows you've got a friendship with Mike that extends beyond her.
06:02Yeah, I think she might.
06:03No, no, of course not.
06:05Especially since she just told me she's interested in getting back with Vic.
06:10No.
06:11Yes.
06:12Wow.
06:15If Jane's moving on, and if Therese gave me permission to take the lead,
06:18then there'd be nothing stopping me doing the tour.
06:22Nothing?
06:23Well, why would you say no?
06:24It's free.
06:26Oh, morning.
06:28Oh, there we go.
06:29Sorry, just going through the bins, finding the gold.
06:32You know, each one of these items is worth ten cents in the container deposit scheme.
06:36Here.
06:37Oh, I didn't get much out of Vera Punt's bin, though.
06:40It's just full of wine bottles.
06:42They don't qualify for the scheme.
06:44Tell you what, though, if she is drinking that much,
06:46that is some cause for concern.
06:49Oh, I was going to request leave from you as well.
06:51I want to go on one of Mike's bike tours.
06:54Oh, that's adventurous.
06:56Have him email me the dates, and I'll take a look at them when I get back.
06:59Okay.
07:00Oh, yes, you're off to see Piper, aren't you?
07:01Yeah.
07:02Enjoy that, won't you?
07:03Yeah.
07:04And say hi for us.
07:12I've scheduled the work to be done in my front yard while I'm away.
07:16I hope it's not an inconvenience.
07:27Where's that spectacular outfit you were wearing last night?
07:30Probably not appropriate for running my morning errands.
07:33Oh, I don't know about that.
07:34Starting a new trend.
07:38Ah, please keep moving.
07:41Pleasure to see you, as always.
07:43Have a great day.
07:44You too.
07:53Breakfast invitation?
07:55Breakfast invitation?
07:56Just you and me?
07:57Shouldn't I be worried?
08:00Not that unusual, us having breakfast together, is it?
08:03No, it's nice.
08:05I can't think of the last time we did it, you and me.
08:08Camden, 2012.
08:11Really?
08:12You remember the year?
08:13Well, Nicolette had just taken off to Australia,
08:15and we got word that she'd already found a job in a hospital.
08:19She probably laughed about how typical that was.
08:22Nicolette.
08:24Charming the locals immediately.
08:29I was an old dad.
08:30Those last few years.
08:36No, the good memories are there.
08:37You just need to dig for them.
08:46You know, Vic, I...
08:49I...
08:53I...
08:54I, um...
08:58I've been thinking about getting new glasses.
09:02Maybe ones with frames like Iris Atfrall?
09:07Just not sure if they'd suit me.
09:15What's going on outside?
09:17Who cares?
09:18We have to get open house ready,
09:20so get into the bathroom, give it a scrub.
09:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, nothing before coffee.
09:24We don't have any.
09:25That would have never happened when Hazlitt's in.
09:28There's like all these bulldozers and diggers
09:30coming off this massive truck outside Tracey's house.
09:33I mean, it looks like it's going to be some major work.
09:35What?
09:36Who's going to want to move in here with all that going on?
09:38Hey, do we have some instant?
09:40There is no coffee in the house, OK?
09:42What, you expect me to clean the bathroom uncaffeinated, Nic?
09:45OK, here's an idea.
09:46How about you go on a coffee run and I'll start in the bathroom?
09:50You have a really cool girlfriend, you know that?
09:53I do know that.
10:01Hi.
10:02Hi.
10:03So, Sparks are definitely flying between me and Vic.
10:09There's like a total charge whenever we're together.
10:12It's like steamy with a capital steam.
10:15But I said I wouldn't go there and so did he.
10:17It's too messy.
10:18After everything that I went through with Toadie and Therese,
10:20I never want messy again.
10:22I don't think that it would necessarily...
10:23But letting go isn't working either, which makes me wonder.
10:27Maybe we just need to work through the Jane hurdle.
10:31Yeah, that's a great idea.
10:33I think I just need to see him and work out how he's feeling,
10:37but without letting him know how I'm feeling.
10:40Then I just need to take the next step.
10:46Thank you for helping me talk all of that through.
10:49You really are amazing.
10:53Any time.
10:55Love you.
10:56Love you.
11:02Hey, you all right?
11:06Yeah, I think the shower fumes got to me or something.
11:10And I just started thinking about me, Mum and Dad
11:14and what if Dad doesn't give Mum space?
11:16Yeah, yeah, OK, just take a breath.
11:23Dad thinks Mum's coming home today for her birthday
11:26and he's planned this big, full effort all-out dinner.
11:30That doesn't sound like a bad thing, does it?
11:32She's not coming home.
11:34And I can't stop thinking about how upset he must be.
11:38I can't stop thinking about how upset he's going to be.
11:41I mean, how do I even get through to him?
11:43If he keeps going down like this, he's just going to make things worse.
11:47OK, I know that you're worried about them,
11:50but, Sage, the way that you protect the ones that you love
11:53is something that I have always adored about you.
11:57I'm worried about how this is affecting you,
12:00trying to hold them all together.
12:04I don't want to see my gorgeous girlfriend all upset.
12:08You're right. I shouldn't be trying to fix my parents.
12:12Being in that house, it's just hard not to get caught up
12:15in all their drama and everything and...
12:17Hey, hey, hey, how about this?
12:19You can come stay here whenever you want.
12:23OK, for as long as you want. It's whatever you need.
12:26I got you.
12:31I love you.
12:35I love you too.
12:38I love you too.
12:47Hello again.
12:49Hey. Twice in one day.
12:51Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something.
12:54What you doing?
12:56Oh, I mean, I'm mailing back and forth with the owner of that pub in Gippsland.
13:00So far, it's taken all the boxes.
13:02That pub that I told you about?
13:04Yeah, I know you only mentioned it in passing,
13:06but yeah, it made an impression on me.
13:09I seem to have a habit of doing that.
13:12So are you thinking that you might buy it?
13:15I've got to go and check it out in person first,
13:18but, you know, if I like the town and feel of the building,
13:22there's a strong possibility I will.
13:25So would you manage it from here or...?
13:27Oh, no, definitely move down there.
13:30Yeah.
13:32Make a full, fresh start.
13:36Hey, I'm heading to work.
13:38Ah, cool.
13:40What are your plans for the day?
13:42I just thought I'd clean the house, do a bit of laundry.
13:45Feel free to chuck something in the pile if you like.
13:47Thanks.
13:49Hey, say, it's about...
13:56Look, I know that it hits you really hard
14:00when Mum and I aren't in a good place.
14:03So I promise that I'm going to do whatever it takes to work things out.
14:08Leave it if it's hard.
14:10Really?
14:12Pinky swear.
14:22All right.
14:23Hey, better get to work.
14:24Yeah, OK. Have a good day.
14:26See ya.
14:34Hi, this is Andrew Ogwell.
14:36Just checking the fortune cookies can be picked up at 4pm.
14:41Yeah, it's a big order.
14:45So sorry about the noise.
14:46Usually it's an incredibly quiet street and nothing really happens at all.
14:55Hey.
14:56Hey.
14:57Hey.
15:00What are you doing here?
15:02What are you doing here?
15:03Come to see if our open house is up to your professional standards?
15:06No, actually, I was coming to check it out for myself.
15:09Oh.
15:10Yeah, well, here, take one of these.
15:12Really?
15:13Do you mind if I have a look around?
15:15Knock yourself out.
15:16Sweet.
15:19Hi there.
15:20Hi, welcome.
15:21My name's Byron.
15:22If you're here to look around, I'd recommend go and check out the pool
15:25and then you just walk your way back in.
15:27Hey, Ogwell.
15:28Hey.
15:29Hey, is Nick around?
15:30No, he's busy, but what's he doing here?
15:33Oh, it's Vera.
15:34Do you reckon she knows about the open house?
15:36What if she's on the way?
15:37Vera?
15:38No, Vera wouldn't call you to give you a warning.
15:40She would just appear from a cloud of smoke.
15:45Hey, Vera.
15:46Yeah, what can I do for you?
15:53So you almost told him.
15:55I didn't mean to, but we were reminiscing and then the moment felt right
15:59and then, oh, I don't know, I couldn't go through with it.
16:02I saw Aaron and I just got all flustered.
16:05Well, maybe that's a good thing.
16:06Give yourself a bit more time to be absolutely sure.
16:11Hey.
16:14Oh, thank you.
16:15Have you been doing that all morning?
16:17Yeah, I worked all the surrounding streets.
16:19I reckon they'd be about eight bucks worth there.
16:21Is that definitely worth the time and effort then?
16:23Well, darling, if I'm going to pay for the airfare for this trip,
16:25then yeah, every dollar counts.
16:27Oh, what trip's this?
16:29Oh, I...
16:30Oh, Carl, just tell her.
16:33Mike's invited me to go on one of his bike tours in Italy.
16:36Oh, how wonderful.
16:38See, I told you she wouldn't mind.
16:40No, no, why would I mind?
16:42No, you'll get to meet Angela too.
16:44Apparently she and Mike are going strong, so...
16:48Don't you want him to go?
16:51I'm happy for him to go and see Mike.
16:54I just don't want him to ride a motorbike
16:56because he's got no idea how to ride a motorbike
16:58and he'll probably go and get himself killed.
17:00Oh, darling, I'm sure he'll be fine.
17:01No, no, Mike is a very good teacher.
17:03Yes, and I promise you I will drive the ride really slowly.
17:09You better, because I need you home in one piece.
17:11Does this mean I can go?
17:12Oh, I love you.
17:14Oh, you stink.
17:17Oh, sorry, I had an accident with a bit of Rancid's milk.
17:22Have a chair.
17:27Trust Therese to flit off to Adelaide
17:29and leave us with all that clamour.
17:31Yes, she is a clever cookie.
17:35Update.
17:37I just saw Vic again
17:39and he told me that I had made quite an impression on him.
17:44Really?
17:45He completely took on board a casual suggestion
17:48that I made about him buying a pub in Gippsland,
17:51which makes me think that he really respects my opinion.
17:54Great.
17:55Whatever we have, I feel like he is not letting go of it.
17:59Question is, would he be up for navigating the Jane factor?
18:03Because he'd be more worried about upsetting her
18:06than I am, given their past relationship.
18:08Melanie!
18:09You're going to drive yourself insane
18:11asking the questions that only Vic can answer.
18:14You should talk to him and see how he feels about it.
18:18That's the only way you're going to know.
18:23Hey, Brett.
18:24How are you doing?
18:25Good.
18:26Listen, I saw you were at Byron and Nick's open house earlier.
18:29Oh, yeah, I was just checking out for a friend.
18:33For a friend?
18:34Yeah.
18:35Yeah, why wasn't your friend there?
18:37Well, let's just say this friend is a bit odd
18:40and doesn't like anyone knowing their business.
18:42But hey, don't worry, not moving in.
18:46All right.
18:47See you, Vera.
18:48Byron.
18:51What's that?
18:52What did Vera want?
18:53Oh, she's asking some follow-up questions about Boyle-esque.
18:56Huh?
18:57Usually wouldn't indulge her,
18:58but it's a good way to keep her away from the open house.
19:00Wow.
19:01That is some serious dedication.
19:03Listen, did Brett say anything to you
19:05about his mate who wants to move in?
19:07What mate?
19:08Brett said he was interested.
19:12I don't think that's a good idea.
19:14It's a good idea.
19:20Oi!
19:27So, how'd you get on?
19:30Do you reckon you got a solution for me?
19:33Yeah, I reckon I do.
19:44There's the birthday girl.
19:45Hi.
19:46You're going to be calling because you're close
19:48because I have a surprise for you.
19:51That's so sweet of you.
19:55Well, you are coming home, right?
19:57No, Andrew, I'm not coming home.
20:06Soon, though.
20:08Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
20:11My mentor has found me an opportunity in Murrayville.
20:14It's a special arts summer program.
20:16Then I'd stay on at the local high school for term one.
20:20But it's really competitive and I need to decide right away.
20:25Murrayville?
20:27That's hours away.
20:29Yeah.
20:33It's a good opportunity.
20:34It is.
20:36And I really want to do it.
20:38And with everything that's going on with us,
20:41the timing doesn't feel like a coincidence.
20:45You know, this is the first real chance I've had to learn
20:48who I am without you.
20:55And are you leaving me?
20:57No, no, Andrew.
20:59No.
21:01I love you so much.
21:03And I am completely committed to our marriage.
21:06We've been together since we were kids.
21:08And now that I've started figuring myself out,
21:11I need to keep going.
21:13We won't be the best version of us if I'm not the best version of me.
21:17I get that.
21:22I don't want to stand in your way.
21:27I think it might be good for you to do some work
21:30on who you are without me, too.
21:33I know it sounds scary,
21:35but it's been really amazing for me so far.
21:41I'm not sure I know how to do that.
21:45I'll give it a go.
21:47I know you will.
21:49You're my superman.
21:51I love you.
21:54Yeah, I love you, too.
21:57Hey, Dad, you still out here?
21:59I thought we could play a good old game of Scrabble
22:01we haven't played in...
22:04Ages.
22:07What's this?
22:10It's your mum's birthday dinner.
22:13Doesn't matter. She's not coming.
22:17I told you that.
22:19I told you that so many times,
22:21and I thought you finally got the message.
22:23I told you that so many times,
22:25and I thought you finally got the message,
22:27but clearly you weren't listening to either me or Mum.
22:30Sadie...
22:31No!
22:32Nothing is going to change until you start listening.
22:37I'm sorry, Dad,
22:39but I'm so done.
22:42I have to move out.
22:54Coming up on Neighbours...
22:56You really are into him again.
