00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I'm worried they can't afford my course.
00:04The fertility clinic got us a late appointment tonight.
00:07This is really exciting.
00:09Thanks for not telling Mum and Mother you swindled them.
00:11Seems I was a bit careless.
00:13But not a thief.
00:14I was tempted. I promise you I haven't had a drop.
00:18Must be lovely to spend time with Piper after so long.
00:21My psych assessment's back.
00:23There's a lot in here about you and Mum.
00:25How can they come to conclusions like this off one session?
00:27I heard the front door and Holly's dumped the roof.
00:30What's going on here?
00:36It's not what it looks like, Dad.
00:38Felix, Holly's extremely vulnerable and confused right now.
00:42I'd hate to think you were taking advantage.
00:44Wait, Dad.
00:45It's my responsibility to protect my daughter,
00:47so clearly I need to remind you of some boundaries here.
00:50Nothing happened.
00:51Dad, please.
00:52It would be completely inappropriate for you to start something with her when she's in this state.
00:55Dad, I'm not your property and I'm right here.
00:57Will you listen to me?
01:00Felix has been helping me, OK?
01:03Ever since the siege, I've been having panic attacks and night sweats
01:07and Felix has been helping me cope.
01:09Panic attacks? Why didn't you tell me?
01:11I don't know, cos I couldn't.
01:14But Felix saw and he helped me through it.
01:17And not that it is any of your business,
01:19but I came here tonight because I was upset about that stupid psychological assessment
01:23and he was kind enough to let me stay here.
01:26He's my friend.
01:28That's it.
01:34OK, come on, you two.
01:36Bedtime.
01:39Oh, no, wait.
01:40Maybe a two-minute tidy beforehand.
01:42You'll thank me tomorrow.
01:44I don't think we will.
01:45Oh, God.
01:47If we do have another kid, we're training them to be tidier.
01:50Agreed.
01:52Oh.
01:55Oh.
01:57I think I need to apologise to Felix again.
02:00That was a bit harsh.
02:02Not without reason.
02:03Yeah, still.
02:05This goes to show how hard it is to regain trust once it's broken.
02:09But, yeah, I got it wrong.
02:12JJ, how do you feel about it all?
02:16Yeah, no, I'm glad he didn't do it.
02:19Didn't want him to be the bad guy again.
02:24So, tomorrow, in honour of my wife's last day at uni,
02:28I'm going to make your favourite spaghetti bolognese.
02:32And dessert, right?
02:34Well, obviously, it's a celebration.
02:36Awesome.
02:40Hey, do you reckon that I could go see Nell in Colac sometime soon?
02:48She's not loving it over there and I really want to see her.
02:52Er, yeah.
02:54Why don't I give Tony a call and see what we can arrange?
02:59Alright.
03:00Thanks.
03:01Yeah?
03:02Yeah.
03:10Oh, sorry it's so early.
03:11I just wanted to catch you before you head off.
03:13No, it's not a problem.
03:14You want to talk about Nell?
03:16Yes.
03:18JJ was missing her so much.
03:20I spoke to Tony last night and he agreed that Nell could come for a visit.
03:24She's got a curriculum day today so she's already on the bus.
03:27Oh.
03:28That's great.
03:29Yeah.
03:30Except, none of us feel really comfortable about her sleeping the night.
03:35Would it be OK if she just slept the night here with you?
03:40Well, I mean, normally, of course, it'd be fine.
03:43But, um, I actually have a work event on tonight.
03:47Oh.
03:48Er, I mean, she's with us for dinner.
03:50We're happy to keep her until you're back.
03:52No, I'm going to be home quite late.
03:54Oh, I'm sorry it's such short notice.
03:56I just, just, they've missed each other so much.
04:00You know what?
04:01I'll, um, I'll just give the work thing a miss.
04:04I'll tell Nell she's more than welcome to stay here.
04:11You all good?
04:12Yeah.
04:13I, er, jumped to a conclusion about Holly and Felix's friendship.
04:20Overreacted.
04:22I think I'm going to be in the doghouse for some time.
04:27I'll leave you to it.
04:29I thought you'd be at work.
04:30I wanted to talk to you first.
04:32I've been worried about you all night.
04:34Dad, I'm fine.
04:36We know that's not true.
04:37Holly!
04:38Holly!
04:40Why didn't you tell me what's going on?
04:42There's so many ways I could help.
04:44I didn't feel like I could.
04:47Did you think I wouldn't understand?
04:49No, it's not that.
04:50I just, I didn't feel like I could ask for help when everything that happened was my fault.
04:55Oh.
04:56I hooked up with Heath.
04:57I took the money.
04:58Everything that happened after that is on me.
05:00No, no, no.
05:01That's categorically not true.
05:03And even if it was, it doesn't mean you can't ask for help.
05:05Doesn't it?
05:06I'm the one who hurt people.
05:07Why do I deserve support?
05:09You've been way too hard on yourself.
05:13Dad, you need to apologise to Felix.
05:15He's been a really good friend to me.
05:17Yeah, I can see that.
05:21And I'm glad he saw what was going on when I didn't.
05:27Between that psychological assessment and this, I barely deserve a father's day care these days.
05:33I don't have the bandwidth to make you feel okay about that right now.
05:37I'm sorry.
05:45Okay, and do you still want customised wine for the conference guests?
05:49Oh yeah, absolutely.
05:50Alright, well I'll need names a week out, okay?
05:54I'll put it in my diary.
05:56Thanks, Sam.
05:57I've arranged for them to have red and white wine.
06:00I'm going to throw in some sparkling as well because we had such a good harvest last year.
06:07And I may as well throw in a Learjet as well.
06:10Uh, yeah, no, that sounds good.
06:13Dad.
06:15Look, wherever you went just now, can we have you back, please?
06:18Ah, sorry, yeah, yeah. Walk me through it again.
06:24Walk me through it again.
06:27Thank you so much for letting me stay. I feel like I haven't seen Jojo in ages.
06:32A week is ages now, is it?
06:36I owe you big time for not saying anything about that.
06:39I mean, if Dad found out, he would have never let me come down.
06:43Excuse me, Felix, have you got a minute?
06:46Sure, what's up?
06:48Listen, I know it's late notice, but we're looking for somebody to run the woodworking workshops
06:53at Irene Rising tomorrow and I heard you have some experience.
06:58Yeah, a bit. Before I started slinging flat whites in a flat cap.
07:02Well, it's paid, of course, and everything's provided.
07:05You just have to show the residents how to make fusible things.
07:08Sounds good. Text me the time and I'll be there.
07:11I sure will. Thank you.
07:15As I was going to say, I was thinking maybe we could couch potato and watch a movie
07:21when I come home from dinner.
07:24Yeah, of course. That'd be lovely. I've missed our movie nights.
07:30I've missed them too. I've missed you.
07:35Oh, I forgot to ask for no pickles.
07:42I'm going to need you to translate the medical stuff.
07:45OK, so your FSH and LH levels are normal and there is nothing that they're worried about.
07:55Which means, in theory, we are good to go.
08:00I can still have a baby.
08:02You can still have a baby?
08:08OK, I want to revisit the budget pronto.
08:11Oh, I think we're OK.
08:12I was thinking about that Lassiter's trip that we won to New York.
08:15It would give us a really good buffer if we sold it.
08:18How do you feel about that?
08:27Hey, Paul.
08:28Oh, Nell. Down for a visit?
08:31Yeah. Surprising Jojo. And staying the night at Theresa's.
08:36Well, that's good to hear. You know she loves having you around.
08:39Yeah, I really missed her.
08:43How has she been since we've left?
08:47Ah, yeah. She's been keeping herself busy with work. Why?
08:51What, is there something that's worrying you?
08:54No. Just making sure she's as good as she seems.
08:59I mean, you know how she is. She doesn't like to bother people.
09:05No, that's true.
09:07I should put these in the fridge.
09:09Yeah. Nell.
09:13If you are ever worried about Therese, you know where to find me, OK?
09:30Dad was, like, completely derailed last night.
09:32I'm not a little kid.
09:34Oh, you're his daughter. And he's worried about you.
09:38He'd be worried about you two of you hanging around people with my history.
09:42You're not only what you've done.
09:44Nah. Your father doesn't know that yet, though.
09:47I've still got to show him who I am now.
09:50Also, your dad's still trying to get his head around this psych assessment.
09:55That's some tough stuff, isn't it?
09:56He's got nothing to feel guilty about. I can understand.
10:00You coming?
10:03Hey. I come in peace.
10:06Felix, I just wanted to apologise again for yesterday. I was out of line.
10:11And thank you for being such a good friend to Holly.
10:15It's OK, Carl. It's no hard feelings.
10:18Oh, that's very kind of you.
10:20OK, Dad, that's enough. You've apologised. It's all good.
10:25Oh, OK. Yeah. Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
10:33I'm sorry.
10:35I'm sorry.
10:37I'm sorry.
10:39I'm sorry.
10:41I'm sorry.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:47I'm sorry.
10:49I'm sorry.
10:51I'm sorry.
11:03Hello, Dent.
11:05Everything all right?
11:07Yeah, I'm all good.
11:09OK, cool.
11:19Oh!
11:23Hey, um, when you shake someone's hand,
11:26do you, like, wait for them to, you know, offer first, or just go in?
11:31Or is that a stupid thing for a kid to do?
11:34You applying for a job?
11:36Yeah.
11:38At Grace Monkey's.
11:40I've never handed in my resume before.
11:42Don't really know what I'm doing.
11:44Oh. Well, four is the lead on shaking hands.
11:46If they offer, make eye contact.
11:49Nice, firm grip.
11:51Don't break their hand or anything.
11:53Yeah, thanks, um, any other tips?
11:58Well, introduce who you are, and just be yourself.
12:02If you're a good kid, have they got any sense?
12:05They'll see that.
12:07Yeah, I really want this job.
12:09Oh, well, tell them that, too.
12:11You know, if you ever want staff, you want to be there.
12:13You're right. I'd better go.
12:15All right. Good luck, buddy.
12:28Dr. Doolittle.
12:31Have you another long lunch on Theresa's dollar OSU?
12:37Carl? Hello?
12:40Sorry, Paul, I didn't see you there.
12:42Everything okay?
12:47Sometimes it's hard to admit to your failure as a parent.
12:54Yeah. Yeah, it is.
12:56It's about the worst feeling in the world.
13:00Hmm.
13:02Still, none of us are perfect.
13:05I guess the best we can do is just make sure we don't repeat our mistakes.
13:09You know, it's bigger than that.
13:14I'm beginning to think I should have tried to give custody of Holly when she was a baby.
13:18I mean, there was a time when I would have had a good chance in court.
13:21Yeah, the problem with that is then Holly would have been separated from her mother.
13:25Well, that's what stopped Susan and I going down that route.
13:28Yeah, but maybe we should have.
13:30There's no easy answer here, is there?
13:33No.
13:34Still, I tell you what, I would swap my record as a father with yours any day of the week.
13:39In a heartbeat.
13:42That's a very kind thing to say.
13:46It's not a very high bar.
13:48Wouldn't get too excited.
13:59I'm sorry.
14:01It's okay.
14:03Thanks.
14:08Any news?
14:11Hey, um, thanks for the advice earlier.
14:14How'd it go?
14:16Yeah, good, I think.
14:18Didn't break anyone's hand.
14:20Well, applied.
14:22Yeah, they're going to have a look over my resume and get back to me.
14:24Fingers crossed, mate.
14:26Yeah, thanks again.
14:28Glad to help.
14:32Thanks.
14:38Hey, um, you should come over for dinner tonight.
14:41What, to your place?
14:43Yeah, we're celebrating mum finishing uni.
14:46Spend a while.
14:48I think I'm probably the last person your mum's want to be celebrating with.
14:53It'd be good for you to be there.
14:55For JJ.
14:57Why do you say that?
14:59Just things you said.
15:01And you're not going anywhere.
15:03You'll always be his daughter.
15:05Might as well get the weirdness over with as soon as possible.
15:08I just promised your mum that I'd stay clear and I don't want to break that.
15:12Well, they have been talking about you being part of our lives.
15:16I think they're up for it.
15:20Well, if they're on board,
15:23what time shall I be there?
15:24What time shall I be there?
15:29Hey, I should be here, but maybe text me before you come home,
15:32in case I put one to work.
15:34Have fun.
15:36Can't wait to hear all about it.
15:38Love you.
15:40Love you too.
15:42Bye.
15:54Bye.
16:21My gut is telling me that something's not quite right.
16:24Well, I saw Nell today and she made a point of asking how Therese has been.
16:29Well, did it occur to you Nell has just been sweet?
16:32Yeah, she's hiding something.
16:34I've just got to speak to Piper.
16:36Piper? You won't hear from her for a few days.
16:39She's busy partying it up in Honolulu.
16:43Piper's in Hawaii?
16:45Yeah, yeah, she's been sending me photos all week.
16:55Georgie, can you get that?
16:59Sure.
17:06Surprise!
17:08What are you...
17:10What are you doing here?
17:12Your mum's called my dad and worked some magic.
17:15I'm here for dinner and stay in the night, Therese's.
17:17This is awesome.
17:20I've got to love it when you two use the bathroom.
17:23Hi Nellie.
17:34I invited Felix for dinner.
17:36What?
17:38We have to get to know each other sometime.
17:40Text her.
17:44You OK?
17:48Hey.
17:52Hey, thanks for having me.
17:55These are for you guys.
17:57These are for you.
18:00Hey guys.
18:07You didn't know I was coming, did you?
18:10We did not.
18:12Well, if it's not cool I can leave.
18:15I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
18:18It's fine.
18:21Can I get you a glass?
18:24Just water's fine for now.
18:26Thanks.
18:28Olly, can we talk?
18:30Dad, you don't need to keep feeling guilty about that assessment or my panic attacks.
18:35We're good.
18:37I promise.
18:39This isn't about me.
18:42It's about you.
18:44I'm sorry.
18:46It's not about me.
18:48It's about you.
18:50It's about you.
18:52It's about you.
18:54It's about you.
18:55It's about me.
18:57I want to focus on you.
19:01I really think it would help for you to talk to someone.
19:04So I have tentatively made an appointment with a psychologist.
19:08You don't have to go.
19:10But I really do think it would help.
19:13OK.
19:15But most of all I just want to, I just want to listen.
19:20I want to hear what you want and need.
19:25Because I love you.
19:27And I want to help.
19:30Dad.
19:34That assessment doesn't know anything about me or you.
19:39All it did was focus on the negative parts of my life.
19:43It didn't mention any of the good bits.
19:46Like, like how much fun I have with Mum.
19:51How much she can make me laugh.
19:54Or how special and loved you've always made me feel.
19:59Like right now.
20:03I just want to forget all about that stupid report and go back to being normal.
20:09Can we do that?
20:11Just be plain, boring old normal.
20:15Of course we can.
20:18Of course we can.
20:23Phew.
20:33I don't suppose you want to tell us what prompted this little invite of yours?
20:37Well Felix was really nice to me earlier.
20:40And it made me realise that he deserves a second chance.
20:46At least you got a chance to apologise to him again.
20:49You said you wanted to.
20:51Yeah.
20:54That thing is driving me up the wall.
20:57I got the job.
20:59They want me to start as soon as possible.
21:01I told you they'd be crazy not to hire you.
21:04You got a job?
21:06Yeah, at Grace Monkey's. After school and weekends.
21:09Since when did you want a job?
21:11Ever since they signed me up for those expensive coding courses.
21:14What? No Dex, you don't have to get a job to pay for your classes.
21:18I heard you guys talking about selling the New York trip.
21:20But you won't have to now because my pay is going towards our budget.
21:24No Dexy, Mum and I are just saving for something else important, that's all.
21:29Oh, you're going to do it aren't you? You're going to have a baby.
21:34What? Since when has this happened?
21:50Oh.
21:59Oh hey, you're home.
22:02How was dinner?
22:04Interesting, to say the least.
22:08I thought I'd head out early to give them some space.
22:11So, it was Dex sneakily invited Felix and then JJ let slip that Romy and Cara are thinking of having another baby.
22:19Oh, interesting is certainly the word.
22:28Sweetheart, what's this for?
22:31I'm so, so proud of you.
22:35I was really worried that maybe you were still struggling but you seem really good.
22:41You see, I'm really sorry if I scared you the last time you were here.
22:47Hey sweetheart, if you're tired we can rain check our movie night.
22:51Would you mind?
22:52No, not at all. I'm actually really zonked myself.
22:55Alright, in that case, good night.
22:58Night.
23:11Good night.
23:41Do you want to pass me the...
23:52Yeah, yeah.
23:53Thanks babe.
23:54Oh, thanks for dinner.
23:56Hey, don't take this the wrong way but that was the best spag while I've had since prison.
24:02Why, did you have a chef in the cells with you?
24:04Yeah, we did. At least he was a chef before he became a gangster.
24:08Really?
24:11Again, thanks for making me feel so welcome.
24:15It's a start. A good one.
24:21Alright, see you later.
24:27I don't know how far along you are with the whole baby thing but if you do decide to go through with it, I'm happy to donate again.
24:34Yeah.
24:42Coming up on Neighbours.
24:44I would like to know where my wine is and who took it.
24:48Just talk to Therese, Dad. Someone needs to make sure she's okay.
24:54Hey, you and Kara had the chance to chat about my, um, proposition.
24:59Oh, I'm realising now you're serious.
