00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I'm having a meeting with Susan and Carl
00:04about the possibility of doing some remote work.
00:06Maybe I could start canvassing the residents?
00:08Yeah, well, I believe Therese coming back is best for the community.
00:12We cannot accept you being near our community
00:15or we all get our money back.
00:18I thought I might buy the garage.
00:20I can't thank you enough.
00:22I think maybe a known donor is right for us now.
00:24Carl!
00:26She's bleeding out.
00:27You said she was going to be OK?
00:28She will be.
00:31Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:39With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect plan
00:49Neighbours
00:52Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:59become good friends
01:09Hello.
01:11Oh, hey, she's back.
01:13And better than ever.
01:15Now, where do you want to sit?
01:16Nowhere. I need to stretch my legs and give this one a hug.
01:20Ooh, gentle people. Gentle.
01:23Where's Dexy? He's getting a power squeeze.
01:25Yeah, he should be home soon.
01:28Actually, he's been a little bit weird since your accident.
01:31Oh, well, hopefully he feels a bit better now that I'm up and about.
01:36But still taking it easy?
01:38I might just have a quick look at that stuff I left in the sunroom.
01:43It's just like when she twisted her ankle.
01:45Get over her projects.
01:46Yeah, except it's not like when she twisted her ankle.
01:48She's just had major abdominal surgery.
01:51She'd still be in the hospital if it wasn't for the fact
01:53I'm a doctor and can monitor her here.
01:55Good luck keeping her on the couch for more than 10 minutes, Doctor.
01:58I honestly feel a lot better.
02:00It's probably good for me to have a couple of projects.
02:03You promised to listen to me and rest.
02:05That was a deal of you getting out early.
02:07I can make Dex a nice dinner just to cheer him up.
02:10Parma's not too bad for my diet, is it?
02:11Oh, my God. I'm going to regret it. I'm going to regret it.
02:14No, you're not. You're not. I was just asking.
02:17You're the boss.
02:21Moira is completely in the right.
02:23I don't know what I was thinking getting my hopes up.
02:26This ultimatum of hers can't be legal, can it?
02:28She's got Tim Collins telling her that it is.
02:31All the more reason to believe that the thing's completely bogus.
02:34How does Tim Collins gain from giving Moira bad advice?
02:37Oh, I don't know. Maybe lining his own pockets while he fights us in court.
02:41He's probably got an ex-wife to pay for.
02:43Oh, pot kettle.
02:44Yeah, well, what it means is, sadly, I understand how his brain works.
02:48So, look, we need to push back hard.
02:51This is a long way from over.
02:53I suppose I could call my lawyers.
02:55No harm in finding out what they think.
02:57Yeah, but even if you can contest, will it help you?
02:59It might make the residents angry.
03:01I can't believe they've even turned on Harold.
03:03No, I think you're right, Carl.
03:04Yeah, well, let's not be defeatist about this.
03:07No, you need to speak to your lawyers.
03:09And nothing's settled until you've done that.
03:21Oh, I was just looking.
03:23And I only moved a couple of things.
03:25Hmm. I'm going to pretend like I believe you.
03:29You want to get ready for bed?
03:30Oh, we've only just had dinner. It's not even eight o'clock.
03:34I won't make you turn the lights out.
03:37You know what will make me sleepy?
03:39A little bit of exercise. Maybe a walk around the block.
03:43Carl, how many times are we going to have this conversation?
03:46I'm not trying to be unreasonable.
03:49But overdoing it could really hurt your recovery.
03:52Yeah, I know.
03:55But also, I'm not a baby.
03:57I know how I feel in my own body.
04:00Yeah, and feeling better is when it's easiest to do too much.
04:05You could have a little bit of faith in me.
04:09I've got an idea.
04:12Why don't you use your downtime to look into some more known donors?
04:16We should have a think about everyone we know
04:18and if there's someone that'd be a good fit for our family.
04:22It would be great to start thinking about how we want to make it work
04:24before we go any further.
04:27True.
04:28And we should decide on how involved we want the donor to be in the kid's life.
04:32Just so we can have some more informed conversations
04:36than when we asked Aaron.
04:39I can start thinking about that.
04:40Ah, great!
04:41Okay, well you get into bed and I'll be there in a minute.
04:44Remi.
04:45Do you want me to help you get in your PJs?
04:47Alright, fine.
04:51Come and undress me then.
04:54Bossy.
04:57I never really bought into the whole sense of a father thing before.
05:01And then I go and do to Max exactly what my dad did to me.
05:05Well, Nell Mangle is in my veins, like it or not.
05:10Loving it, it just makes us human.
05:13I knew you'd get it.
05:16Relationships and kids, I have a grain of insight.
05:19But anything else?
05:22You're not going to give me tips on my love life?
05:23No, no I wouldn't dare.
05:28Well, come on now.
05:30You and Mike had it figured out.
05:33For a while.
05:34Although I did tell him 40 years ago that he didn't deserve you.
05:38Did you?
05:39I don't recall that.
05:41Oh, you're right, you're right.
05:43Did Izzy deserve you?
05:47Well, I'm trying to tell myself that not many people are worthy of that honour.
05:53Well, to be fair to Mike, our break-up this time was very mature,
05:57very respectful and we're still friends.
06:00So you don't want me to step back in the ring with him then again?
06:03I didn't want you to do it in the first place.
06:05Well, no regrets.
06:08Not even Clive.
06:09Not even Clive.
06:10You're catching a knock on his noggin, given what he was up to last time.
06:15No comment.
06:16Those two look cosy.
06:18Yeah, the ex-lovebirds.
06:21Well, look at that, Jane Harris condoning violence.
06:24I am full of surprises these days.
06:28You always were.
06:30To be fair.
06:33Get out of the way.
06:34Get out of the way.
06:35Max, I'm going to make sure to see if our parents are cracking on to each other.
06:37Don't make it weird.
06:38I'm being supportive.
06:39I'm a very supportive person.
06:41They're questionable.
06:43And no surprises that they were scandalised.
06:46What, about our five-year age gap?
06:49Yeah.
06:50Well, no, to be honest, I wouldn't consider you an older man now.
06:54Very gracious of you.
06:55Oh.
06:58Gracious is my middle name.
07:01Really?
07:03No.
07:08Is this giving lingering spark?
07:11It's giving something.
07:23Do I want to know?
07:26Well, not if you're going to dub on me.
07:27You're confusing me with Dex.
07:30It's nothing that bad anyway.
07:31I just stashed a few treats up here.
07:34Just need one thing that's not the soft, high-fibre junk.
07:39Isn't that stuff, like, important after you get your guts sliced open?
07:42Well, I'm not going to eat a bag of nails.
07:45Everything in moderation.
07:46That's the rule.
07:47I'm not sure that's entirely relevant here.
07:50You sound like Remy.
07:52Well, I can't...
07:53Fine.
07:54If she sees you, it's your funeral day.
07:58You okay?
08:01Yeah.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Yeah.
08:04A little twinge is normal.
08:09This is really giving me moderation.
08:10Knock yourself out.
08:11Thanks.
08:24Alright, thank you for looking into it so quickly.
08:27Bye.
08:29That didn't sound ideal.
08:30Okay, so the resident contracts really do say that we have to fix any safety concerns
08:34or we have to refund their money.
08:36I mean, it's not that unreasonable, is it?
08:38Well, even if these concerns are completely overblown.
08:41Yeah, well, that's your opinion, not theirs.
08:42Well, I think that contract is a bad joke.
08:45Well, I suppose my lawyer slash husband at the time didn't foresee
08:48that I was going to gas a whole building of pensioners.
08:51Well, you know, you could always just kick Moira and her agitating cronies out.
08:55I'd certainly be happy to see them out on the street.
08:57Oh, come on, Paul.
08:58You heard what she said.
09:01I don't belong there anymore.
09:05And we're not punishing Moira for something that I did to myself.
09:10Nice to see our audience cleared off finally.
09:12Yeah.
09:14Could have done without the wolf whistle on the way out.
09:16Yeah.
09:21Maybe we should have made more of a go of things back in the day,
09:25given how everything's worked out for all the others.
09:29I don't think I would have kept your attention away from Daphne for very long.
09:32Oh, you think I had a bit of a thing for her, do you?
09:36A bit like you do now for Izzy.
09:39Ouch.
09:42You know, I'm still 1% bitter that I lost Daphne to Des.
09:481%.
09:50You succumbed to the mysterious Des Clark magic for a while.
09:54Oh, please, next subject.
09:57Seriously, what do you think would have happened if we'd stayed together back then?
10:03I don't know, I'm on boggles.
10:05Well, it's not always bad to be different.
10:08No.
10:10No, I mean, you might have led me on some rather unexpected and exciting paths.
10:16Well, I reckon I would have made a lot more of myself if I had a partner of your calibre.
10:22I might have liked being married to a super-brain.
10:25Oh.
10:27Whoa, you feel that? I feel Nan rolling in her grave.
10:39Can you believe that I had the guts to kiss you for the first time under her roof?
10:44I don't think you'd remember you finding it all that difficult.
10:49Oh, happy to see you too.
10:53Hi, Carl.
10:54Hi.
10:56I was just going to get a nightcap, but a friendly ear would be better.
11:00Sit down.
11:02Yeah, thank you.
11:03Has something happened?
11:04Oh, I'm thinking of cancelling my trip to Italy with Mike next week.
11:10Oh, wow, that's a shame.
11:13Shame.
11:14Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of reasons for and against.
11:17Can I run them past you?
11:24Therese says she'll talk to us later.
11:26Yeah, probably just needs time for it all to sink in.
11:30We should call Harold too, see how he's coping with all the drama.
11:32Yeah, yeah, I'll do that in a minute.
11:34Yeah.
11:36I, um, bumped into Jane and Shane last night.
11:40Oh, yeah?
11:41Yeah, they were very helpful. Helped me get my mind straight.
11:45I don't think I can go on this bike trip with Holly and Rini.
11:48Oh, Carl, it's a short trip. You can, you can video call every day if you want to.
11:54Yeah, I know, I know, I just, I've made up my mind.
11:58Well, let's just, let's just wait and see how things play out at Ireni, hey?
12:03Hmm.
12:06Well, it should be a nice little honour.
12:08Yeah, you seem to be winning on all fronts, aren't you?
12:10I'd like to keep it that way too.
12:13You look out for Max for me if I head off?
12:16What, you're off to the Sahara already?
12:18We'll see, but I'm running out of excuses to hang around here like a bad smelt.
12:22He's got a home, a job, and you're going to keep an eye on him.
12:25Oh, don't be silly, you don't even have to ask.
12:29You know, I'm going to miss you again.
12:31Likewise.
12:33Hey, come here.
12:35It's in case I don't see you before you go, all right?
12:38Anyway, I'd better shoot off, I've got a call in on Therese.
12:40That sounds like a rough situation.
12:42Yeah, yeah, you take it easy, all right?
12:44Don't pull off your camel.
12:46See you soon.
12:48Right, show me what you've got in this booking system.
12:51Not until you tell me about what happened last night.
12:54Oh yeah, what about it?
12:56There were totally sparks.
12:58Oh, you're being silly.
13:00Why? I told you you're a hottie.
13:03I've barely recovered from your father's brief cameo.
13:06Still, you don't talk to the other boys that way.
13:09You fancy Shane.
13:10You were totally giving her the old Ramsay charm.
13:16So what if I was?
13:18It's a free country.
13:20I just didn't think you'd go for someone like that.
13:22What does that mean, like that?
13:24No, straight laced, way smarter than you.
13:26Oi, don't go judging a book by its cover.
13:29Especially someone like Jane.
13:31Maybe we had a little flirt, but I'm hardly his type these days.
13:35And he isn't my type.
13:37No, we had a fun night.
13:39Fuelled by one too many drinks and a healthy dose of nostalgia.
13:45To be honest, I'm glad that it didn't go any further.
13:48Sure, Mum.
13:49Yeah, whatever you say.
13:58Hey, are you feeling better?
14:01Yeah, I reckon.
14:02Hey, are you feeling better?
14:05Yeah, I reckon.
14:07Sick of talking about myself, though.
14:08So boring.
14:09I don't remember you said that.
14:13But, um, thanks.
14:14How are you?
14:15How's work?
14:17Oh, well, um, that's a can of worms I'll leave for another day.
14:21Oh, well, that sounds like a story.
14:24Don't let us hold you back.
14:25Oh, I'm assuming it's something you've got to raise now that she's home.
14:27I'm afraid so.
14:28I'm afraid so.
14:29Oh, are you in the middle again?
14:31Between her and the residents?
14:32I'm just going to get a glass of water, actually.
14:34Sorry.
14:35You okay?
14:36Yeah.
14:38Oh, Susan.
14:39That must be so hard.
14:40Oh, I'm just trying to do what's best for everybody.
14:44I mean, you don't have to be stoic with us.
14:48Well, I suppose that's the downside of working with friends, isn't it?
14:51Something bad happens for them.
14:53Yeah, yeah.
14:54We know too much.
14:55Yeah.
14:59There you go.
15:10Come on, out of the cocoon.
15:11We have things to do.
15:13No, there's nothing that can be done now.
15:15It's over.
15:16Well, that's a bit of shame because I've got a three-step plan organised.
15:19Firstly, a game of chess.
15:23And while we're doing that, you are going to tell me every thought,
15:26every feeling that's in your head.
15:27A complete and utter purge, all right?
15:29Then I've got us booked into a break room
15:32whereby you get a baseball bat to smash up as much as you want.
15:36Get rid of as much negative energy in your system as humanly possible.
15:40And after all of that exertion,
15:42I've got you booked in for a stone massage just to recover.
15:45How's that?
15:47I will give it to you.
15:48It doesn't sound awful.
15:50Yeah, I think I know you pretty well by now.
15:52Hmm.
15:55Your move.
15:58It's not quite the game that we planned for yesterday, is it?
16:03Nah, always the Queen's Gambit, eh?
16:06I've run out of new moves.
16:14Put everything into Irene.
16:18I just wanted to create something for the senior citizens.
16:22You know, the people that helped lift me up over the years.
16:28All I've done is made them hate me.
16:33Oh no, I think I should just cut my losses and sell out.
16:36Oh.
16:46You've got a bit more colour than before. That's good.
16:48Yeah, I think I just hadn't had enough to drink.
16:53I've got that baby book if you're ready to have a look.
16:55Ah, into the poop in the woods.
16:58I had a quick look before.
16:59There's some really sweet stories in there.
17:02Oh, this first family's really cute.
17:04And they've got a teenager and a baby.
17:06Yeah, we could probably learn from them how they navigated everything.
17:09Oh, look at his little curly hair.
17:12How many men do we know with curly hair?
17:14A few. It wasn't my first takeaway.
17:17Well, you've basically given me a book of baby photos.
17:19What did you expect to happen?
17:20Yes, true. Have at it.
17:24Oh, and look.
17:26Look at their eyelashes and their tiny little overall.
17:30I'm sure you've got a lot to get back to.
17:34Oh, um, there's enough.
17:39Is this where you and Charlene practiced the cheerleading for your big tryout?
17:44What on earth made you think of that?
17:47I don't know. It just popped into my head.
17:49Well, yeah, I think we did practice here.
17:52You must have a very good memory.
17:55I always thought you would be good at it.
17:57Well, I would have, actually.
18:01But, um, no, I had other talents.
18:12I don't know how this has happened, Shane Ramsey,
18:16but are we having a vibe?
18:22I don't have tickets for myself, Jane Harry.
18:25I don't have tickets for myself, Jane Harry, but it does seem like it.
18:32At least I'm not imagining it.
18:35Although, neither of us would do anything.
18:38No, of course not.
18:40No, I mean, given our long history and friendship, it's...
18:43And we're not impetuous kids anymore.
18:45Exactly.
18:56Who knew smashing a TV with a baseball bat could be so cathartic?
19:01Yeah, it was smashing plates for me.
19:03Oh, it was so satisfying watching them smash against the wall.
19:06Yeah, maybe picturing a certain person's face while you do it.
19:09Oh, maybe just a tiny little bit.
19:13And the hot stones at the spa never fail to deliver.
19:17Good. So all in all, it was worth getting off the couch for.
19:20Yes, thank you.
19:22It did help put things in perspective.
19:25It is too early to sell, even if I'm not working there anymore.
19:29You know, regardless of whether you let it go or not,
19:32you should be immensely proud of what you've built.
19:34I mean, you achieved everything that you set out to achieve.
19:40Always the right words.
19:42No, not always.
19:44Well, you're still the genius that came up with a break room
19:46and a massage in the same day.
19:48Genius, yeah. I'll take that. Good.
19:51So have you got any other plans?
19:52And do you want me to keep you company?
19:54Thank you, but I've got counselling soon
19:57and there is something that I need to do first.
20:03I still owe you these from the last time I had to walk away.
20:08I can imagine how difficult this is for you.
20:11I can't let my personal feelings take down the whole thing.
20:14I promise you we'll take incredibly good care of the place for you.
20:18I'm so sorry this has happened.
20:21Well, I'm afraid it's not going to be a walk in the park for you two.
20:25Well, you've been tainted by association with me.
20:29Nothing we can't handle, is it?
20:30No.
20:32You know, it might be a good thing to have that replacement doctor in
20:35while you're in Italy.
20:37A fresh face around the place could be good for the residents.
20:41Yeah, there might be something in that.
20:43And it's possible that in time their stance towards you will soften.
20:47Well, I won't pin my hopes on it.
20:49Oh, this is Harold. He's been worried. I should take it.
20:52Yeah.
20:54Hi, Harold.
20:56Yeah, she's here with us.
20:59You're handling this with so much grace.
21:02Well, I'm trying.
21:12Sorry for this again.
21:13Oh, you're really putting me out, Max.
21:16Okay.
21:18No wonder a day on the tools has cut off these soft little delicate hands.
21:21Shut up.
21:23I reckon we can save it, yeah?
21:25I'm just going to get Mum's epic first aid kit.
21:30Whoa, my eyes. Okay.
21:33What?
21:35Oh, and Max.
21:39Oh, I'm getting to you.
21:41Great.
21:42It looks like you came to town for business and pleasure.
21:49No apologies, right?
21:52Please just let this be the last time this happens to me.
21:56We could just learn to knock.
22:00Coming up on Neighbours.
22:02What part of you need to rest do you not understand?
22:05You sound like a broken record.
22:08Is this like a one-time thing,
22:10or are you just picking up where you left off like a gazillion years ago?
22:13Could you give him a chance, please?
22:15From what I'm seeing, he's not making the same amount of effort that you are.
