00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I've hired a manager for the day-to-day running of the hotel.
00:05And I've got an early meeting.
00:06Golf isn't a meeting, Brett.
00:08I really am sorry to hear about the church closing.
00:10And Nick's organised a furniture bazaar to raise funds for it.
00:13You haven't told anyone about my whole uni thing?
00:16Don't worry, I'm a vault.
00:18If Remy was pretending to be single, I would have lost it.
00:21Single?
00:22Why did you let this go on for so long?
00:23I enjoyed it.
00:24In your dream life, me and Sadie, we don't exist.
00:31Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect blend
00:49Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours become good friends
01:10Um, do you know where Andrew is?
01:12Oh, um...
01:13Because he's not answering his phone, and I'm just...
01:15Yeah, I'm really worried.
01:16He's okay, he's at Lassiter's.
01:19Oh, well, do you know what room?
01:21Pardon?
01:22Well, I know I probably asked you not to tell me, but...
01:24Wendy.
01:26What are you doing here?
01:29I thought...
01:31Oh, I was...
01:34I...
01:41Oh, look who's finally out of her room!
01:44Can't possibly do any more prep than I already have.
01:47You've got this in the bag.
01:49What time's Toadie getting there tomorrow?
01:51Oh, um, he's actually not coming to court tomorrow.
01:54Wait, hang on, isn't this case, like, a really big deal?
01:57Yeah, it is, but Toadie's really busy, so I told him not to worry about it.
02:04Have you talked to Nick about the church fundraiser yet?
02:07Oh, no.
02:09Is that bad?
02:10Well, she kind of did do it for you, right?
02:13The question is, what was she hoping for in return?
02:16Are you open to something happening?
02:19Honestly, I'm still trying to get my head around her explanation.
02:22It sounded like she was really insecure at the time.
02:25Yeah, and what's going to be different in the future?
02:30You two are home late.
02:31Yeah, well, we've been celebrating.
02:33Booking's up at the vineyard.
02:35Oh, that's amazing.
02:36PHONE RINGS
02:42Hey, Angie.
02:44What?
02:45What?
02:47Yeah, okay, thanks for letting me know.
02:51What's happened?
03:00Here.
03:07So, are you ready to tell me what's going on?
03:09What's going on?
03:13We had an argument.
03:17You didn't come home.
03:20I had to fight at the hotel and broke out just as I was about to clock off.
03:25I'm sorry that I didn't call you. There was just no time.
03:29You know, you don't need to explain.
03:32I should have thought it through before I raced down here and embarrassed you at work.
03:36Again.
03:37Again.
03:38You've done worse.
03:46I don't want to lose you, Andrew.
03:53I just don't think I'd be able to live with myself.
04:03I really don't think we should have this conversation right now.
04:08Yeah.
04:09You're dead on your feet and I have a ton of paperwork to get done before I'm allowed to leave.
04:18Do we really think we need to talk?
04:21Yeah, we will.
04:23We just both need some sleep.
04:30Are you going to come home?
04:34Yeah.
04:38Okay.
04:45Come in. Yes, thank you for your patience while we get this sorted out.
04:48In the meantime, you can enjoy some complimentary snacks, food, anything that you might need.
04:53Yeah, I'm taking tea and coffee orders as well, guys, so let me know what you'd like.
05:00Hey.
05:01Hi.
05:02Okay, so the good news is nobody was hurt and nobody's making an official complaint.
05:04Good.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Okay, just tell me how this happened.
05:07It was a booking error.
05:08Of two groups this size?
05:09Mm-hmm.
05:10Doug Baldry, the guy that Andrew took away, thought that his group was checking in at midnight tonight.
05:14And they're not?
05:15No. The other group was booked for check-in tonight.
05:17The two ladies started arguing and the next minute it got, like, really personal.
05:20And it was definitely our mistake?
05:22Yeah.
05:23Doug's group do have a reservation for next month.
05:26Guess who took the booking?
05:28Brett?
05:29Mm-hmm.
05:30Great. Well, he better be working on a solution to fix this right now.
05:32That's the thing. He's not even here.
05:34What?
05:35He left early.
05:36Of course he did.
05:37But don't worry. We found rooms for the VIPs in every room and twin rooms for everybody else.
05:41We'll put them in their proper rooms tomorrow.
05:43Okay, great. Thank you.
05:44Okay.
05:45Is it alright if I go? I was supposed to be at the back lane bar like an hour ago.
05:49Sure.
05:50Yeah, thank you. Thank you for staying back.
05:52Okay.
05:53Brett, it's Krista.
05:54We've had an incident at the hotel and I need you to come back here ASAP.
05:58I'm still surprised Toadie's not going to be there.
06:00Yeah, me too. It's kind of unbelievable.
06:02Well, it's mostly my case. He was mainly going to come for moral support.
06:06I have got this.
06:08Hey, I need you to take Isla for me.
06:11Uh, where?
06:13Don't be smart. There's a gastro outbreak at childcare. I can't leave her there.
06:16Look, I'm really sorry, Nick.
06:18But something's gone down at the hotel and Krista's arse roll lands on deck.
06:21One of us needs to be at the vineyard. We're supposed to be there.
06:24Krista's arse roll lands on deck.
06:25One of us needs to be at the vineyard. We're still in our trial period.
06:28Uh, morning.
06:29Morning.
06:30Hi.
06:34I'm struggling to find someone to look after Isla today.
06:37Oh. Bring her to work.
06:39Would you be okay with that?
06:41Of course. It'd be nice to hang out, wouldn't it, Isla?
06:44Would Leo be cool?
06:46He's a single dad. He gets it.
06:49Well, if you're sure, then okay.
06:52Great. Thank you.
06:59And whenever you're ready, there'll be a complimentary meal for you waiting over at the waterhole.
07:03Room 302 is ready for housekeeping.
07:05409 as well.
07:06Yes. Thank you, Mina.
07:08That's all settled. I hope you enjoyed your stay.
07:14God, that's a lot of coffee.
07:16Yeah, I worked back, remember?
07:18And you went out afterwards.
07:20Okay, hello, judgment. I'm helping to fix Brett's mess, aren't I?
07:23No, I know. I know. Sorry. I do really appreciate it.
07:29Hey, was Baudry spelt double E or E-Y?
07:32Um, double E.
07:34He just struck me last night. I think I knew that name from somewhere.
07:38No way.
07:40He's the lead writer at The Traveller's Owl.
07:43What, the travel review company? That's really big.
07:45Yeah. It's so big that if he leaves a bad rabbit, it could seriously harm the business.
07:50Wow.
08:21When you found out everything, I made a mess of trying to explain it.
08:27And, well, everything I was saying just kept coming out wrong.
08:30Yeah.
08:33I didn't give you much of a chance.
08:39You know, the whole time that I was playing this other Wendy,
08:44never once did I question my life with you or so.
08:51But you and I, we found each other and, you know, we had Sadie so young.
08:57So there's always been this part of me
09:03that wondered if I missed out on a pivotal part of being 20.
09:08And then when the uni kids, they mistook me for Sadie,
09:11and then when the uni kids, they mistook me for being this young and responsibility-free woman,
09:17yeah, I guess I just, I took the chance to see what it was like.
09:25But you know what I found?
09:28That that life, it's fun,
09:32but it does not hold a candle to the life that I've built with you.
09:41Yeah.
09:49Why didn't you just tell us?
09:52I didn't think you'd understand.
09:55I mean, I'm way too old to have these kind of insecurities, Andrew.
10:01But I love you so much.
10:05And I love our family.
10:06Family.
10:10You just,
10:14you don't have to try so hard.
10:18The Wendy that I know and Sadie knows,
10:24she doesn't have to try and fit in.
10:27She's perfect just the way she is.
10:30Yeah, so I've zoned half the staff in here today and half the staff outside,
10:34just to kind of keep it seamless.
10:37Hi, Emma.
10:39Hey.
10:40Are you sure this is the best place for her today?
10:43Childcare's out and Aaron and Byron, they're both working.
10:45I suggested that Nick bring her in.
10:47Yeah, but this is a really important event.
10:49Yeah, and between the three of us and our very capable staff, it'll go off without a hitch.
10:54I'm sorry, I'm just a bit stressed.
10:56I'm sorry, I'm just a bit stressed.
10:58Nick, I'll show you through the plans.
10:59Sure.
11:00So we've got prep, flour, arrangements.
11:08Hey.
11:09I'm late, I know, I'm sorry.
11:10Hi.
11:11It's fine, it's fine.
11:12Thank you.
11:13Is everything okay?
11:14Yeah, just things came into a head between Andrew and I last night.
11:18How did it go?
11:21We managed to talk through it this morning.
11:23And I realised my biggest mistake was thinking that he wouldn't understand.
11:30But he did.
11:33After I finally managed to string the right words together.
11:36Wendy does.
11:38I'm really happy for you.
11:40Thanks.
11:41I'm happy for me too.
11:43I made the wrong move lying to my best friend.
11:46I'm just lucky that he's the amazing guy that he is.
11:50I've been meaning to thank you for the church fundraiser.
11:54Well, I didn't know you knew about that.
11:57It was good of you to try and help.
11:59Even if it didn't work out.
12:03It was a lot of effort for you to go to.
12:07Oh, no, no.
12:08No, Toddy, he had all this furniture he needed gone.
12:12And it was a lot of effort for me to go to.
12:14And it was a lot of effort for me to go to.
12:16And it was a lot of effort for me to go to.
12:18And I needed it gone in a hurry.
12:20And there was this local building that needed saving, so it just seemed obvious to put the two together.
12:28That's it?
12:30You weren't hoping for...
12:35No.
12:39Uh, thank you for having my back with Isla.
12:43Oh, of course. I mean, I know it's hard when child care's closed and your mum's away, so...
12:46Yeah, just since David died.
12:48Yeah, that must have been really hard for you guys.
12:53I know I'm still dealing with it.
12:57Hey, if you ever need to talk, I'm here.
13:03Thanks.
13:04Same.
13:07Come draw with me.
13:10Is that okay?
13:11Yeah, go ahead.
13:13What are you drawing?
13:15Um, this is a flower.
13:18Oh, that's beautiful.
13:20And who's this?
13:22Her.
13:23You traced the fairy.
13:25What's her name?
13:27Double shot.
13:28Thanks, Haz.
13:29You're welcome.
13:32You look awful.
13:35Why didn't you return any of my calls last night?
13:39I was asleep.
13:40My phone was off.
13:41Oh, good.
13:42While you were sleeping, the rest of us were up all night trying to fix your mistake.
13:45Sorry, what mistake?
13:47You booked a group in for the wrong month.
13:50Guess what? They showed up last night and we didn't have any room for them.
13:55I must have put the dates in wrong.
13:57Oh, you think?
13:58So why weren't you on duty?
14:00You were rostered on to manage that check-in.
14:02Okay, well, if you must know, I had some hours in Luoweng, so I took them.
14:07How could you have any hours? You're never at the hotel.
14:10Just because I'm not always on site doesn't mean I'm not conducting hotel business.
14:15Doug Baldry is demanding we comp his group's entire stay.
14:18No, we can't absorb that.
14:23Are you coming?
14:38I laugh.
14:39We don't throw.
14:41Hey, the shadow boss is here in five minutes. Why don't we go into my office, eh?
14:44Oh, that's a good idea. That'll be fun. We'll take all your crayons into the office.
14:48No.
14:52Okay, how about we go into the office now, and then later I can get you an ice cream, or we can go to the beach.
15:00Can Kiwi come?
15:02I don't know, honey.
15:04Oh, of course I can. I've been dying for a beach trip.
15:07All right, well, we'll do that, but how about first we go sit in my big, comfy office chair, and you can watch as much Bowie as you want.
15:13Come on! Let's go!
15:17You are really saving me today.
15:20Oh, no, it's nothing.
15:23I'm just trying to make the situation work.
15:25Make the situation work.
15:36Hey! I thought you were at work.
15:39Oh, yeah, I'm just about to head off. You going to work on the sunroom?
15:43Yeah, I've got a spare couple of hours.
15:46Ooh, fancy a lunch date? I could soon buy that pie place you love.
15:49Ah, Bolognese pie. You know all my weaknesses.
15:52That I do.
15:54Ah, no, you said something about an off-site meeting running?
15:59Uh, yeah, um...
16:01Well, how about I just bring my surprise home tonight then?
16:07There's no meeting. It's a class.
16:11Class?
16:13Yeah, I enrolled in an IT course at Eden Hills a few weeks ago.
16:17Oh, that's great, babe.
16:19Oh, it's nothing.
16:21Why didn't you tell me about it?
16:23Because it's just for work, so it's not really a big deal.
16:26Tara!
16:27I'm actually just here because I forgot my uni bag.
16:30So I'm going to go or I'll be late.
16:33Okay.
16:34So I'll see you later.
16:35Okay.
16:36Okay.
16:37Bye.
16:40Bye.
16:42And this is an oak chardonnay which pairs perfectly with the oysters.
16:47Enjoy.
16:48See you soon.
16:49Hey, I'm just here to grab Isla.
16:52I hear she's been pretty restless.
16:53Yeah, I'm quite impressed actually.
16:55She's done pretty well.
16:56Abby usually only lasts 15 minutes before she gets bored.
16:59Yeah, yeah.
17:00She takes after me.
17:01David was always good on his own.
17:03How's it going outside?
17:04Yeah, smooth sailing.
17:06Hey, thank you so much for coming.
17:08I'll go get her.
17:09Sure.
17:13Better hope their bus turns up or we're driving all these drunk people home.
17:20What's going on there?
17:21No idea, but I hope it lasts.
17:24This is the first time I've thought this partnership could actually work.
17:50What are you doing here?
17:53Supporting my wifey.
17:55Because apparently she needs some convincing that furthering her education isn't stupid and neither is she.
18:01You both know I'm not the brains of this relationship.
18:04Hey.
18:05I barely finished high school.
18:07So? Booksmarts have got nothing to do with intelligence.
18:10They do here.
18:13Does this have anything to do with a milestone birthday coming up?
18:18No.
18:21Maybe.
18:24You know, I'm about to turn 40.
18:26I thought I just would have achieved more by now.
18:28Hey, you have achieved plenty.
18:32And you've got so much more brilliance to come.
18:37You are a straight shooting lateral thinker who might finally start looking her age.
18:43If you need help...
18:47I'm pretty good with flashcards.
18:51Okay.
18:52Why don't you start by helping me prep for the class?
18:56I've been thinking.
18:58When can I get to know this wild Wendy?
19:02Well, you name a time because she's going to love you.
19:08It's a bad look for guests to have to move in.
19:10It's a bad look for guests to have to move between venues.
19:13Third time the ballroom already has people in it.
19:15Brett, why are there guests wandering around the complex with hot food?
19:19It's temporary. I'm getting the rest of the meals sent to the ballroom.
19:22There's a conference in the ballroom.
19:23That's what I've been trying to tell him.
19:25Look, whatever you've got going on in the kitchen, just put a stop to it now.
19:28I'm about to go on lunch. I'll do it when I get back.
19:31Actually, you won't.
19:34You're fired.
19:36You can't do that. You haven't even given me a...
19:38Watch me.
19:41Someone pour the champagne because I just won my first court case.
19:46We already beat you to it.
19:47Thank you. And it seems like the event went well for you guys.
19:50It was a runaway success. Everyone loved it.
19:53Hey, you all start without me. I'm going to call Aaron and check in on Isla.
19:56Oh, make sure you tell her I'm looking forward to that beach trip.
19:59I will.
20:04To a day of wins.
20:06And to teamwork. It seems like you three have finally found your rhythm.
20:09We did.
20:10Cheers.
20:12Excuse me.
20:16I saw that.
20:18Saw what?
20:19That look that you and Nick gave each other.
20:21No, it was a good day, that's all.
20:34Alright, Sam's on her way.
20:36Did you get hold of any casuals?
20:38No, no one's available.
20:40Great, Brett probably scared them off.
20:44Where's Brett?
20:45Two guests just got sent to the same solo room. They did not think it was cute.
20:48I fired him.
20:49Was that a good idea? We're already short-staffed.
20:51There you go.
20:53Mr Baldry.
20:54I've booked our group into another hotel.
20:55I need your incompetent staff to check us out immediately.
20:59Please, just wait a second. I can fix this.
21:01Actually, you can't.
21:02You better pray my editor doesn't ask for an article on the worst places to stay in Australia.
21:07Hey, you know what? This isn't even our-
21:10Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
21:14Hello, Krista.
21:18Tess?
21:20I see things are going well on your watch.
21:27Coming up on Neighbours.
21:28When will the sunroom be finished?
21:30I'm going to leave the rest of it to Cara to finish.
21:33You've been kicked off the dome already.
21:35Can we make this work?
21:38You can understand why I'm concerned.
21:40Is Rhys concerned too?
