00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02Are you happy at Rebekah Law?
00:04Some professional development would be good.
00:06Whatever your ambitions are, let's chase them together.
00:08Remy gives me the mail and there's a postcard from Dee.
00:11I feel weird.
00:12You and I were never meant to be.
00:14I got your message about the pitch.
00:16Congratulations.
00:17Thank you.
00:18You don't have to be intimidated by me.
00:20I've got your back.
00:21Gatsford mentorship goes to Wendy Rodwell.
00:24It was a diversity PR stunt.
00:26Wendy won that mentorship on her own merit
00:28and for you to say otherwise is racist.
00:58Neighbors become good friends.
01:07Follow my lead.
01:10Hey.
01:12Hey.
01:14I was just telling Mel about this wonderful dinner
01:18that Sadie and I have organised for you
01:20to celebrate your mentorship.
01:22Yes, it sounds like a court.
01:25Oh, yeah, I don't need anything special.
01:28It's not a big deal.
01:30He's just so proud of you going back to uni
01:34and now you are smashing it with this snazzy new mentorship.
01:39Oh, it's really very sweet.
01:42But can we do it another time?
01:51Alrighty, here we are.
01:53Sorry it took us so long to get it ready.
01:55The hotel was fully booked.
01:56I can't complain about that.
01:58Are you sure you don't want us to get the bedroom moved?
02:00Because we can...
02:01It's fine.
02:02It's the desk I really need.
02:03Right.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Any update on when you'll be leaving?
02:07I only ask so we can allocate the room.
02:10I can't imagine I'll be here more than a few weeks.
02:13Well, if you'd rather work from the house that you're renting,
02:15we could totally help with that too.
02:17Relax.
02:18I won't be looking over your shoulder the entire time.
02:21We have other investments I need to check on.
02:23Right.
02:24Well, if you need anything else, just sing out
02:25and we'll leave you to it.
02:31What?
02:32You want to see the back of her just as much as I do?
02:33Actually, we've been kind of getting along lately
02:35and I'd like to keep it that way.
02:37Okay.
02:38Our first step is to shore up our bread and butter.
02:41Standard contracting, conveyancing.
02:44We've already got a solid client base.
02:46Yeah, but I really want to build on those little jobs
02:48so that we can have a steady income stream
02:50which will actually free you up.
02:52Free me up?
02:54Yeah.
02:55So you can take on the jobs that you love.
02:57If you find a case that you're passionate about,
02:59you can do it pro bono.
03:01That's amazing.
03:02Oh, Toadie, that's really impressive, mate.
03:04Happy, smiling people.
03:06That's what I like to see.
03:08I'm just about to get some toasties.
03:10Toadie's shouting.
03:11Oh, don't mind if I do.
03:13Holly's on late shift.
03:14Carl and Susan seem to want to have some alone time.
03:16Okay, TMI.
03:18Actually, I should probably head off.
03:20Okay, go.
03:21This has been amazing.
03:22Yeah?
03:23Yeah.
03:24Okay, good.
03:25The toasties are still on me.
03:27Thanks, Toadie.
03:28Thanks.
03:41Did you sneak out again last night?
03:44I don't sneak out.
03:46So when you wait for Carl and Susan to go to bed
03:49and then you leave your room very quietly, that's called...
03:53It's called not giving your father reasons to worry.
03:58What? My besties are all loved up.
04:00I'm just getting out there and making new friends.
04:04Don't say that.
04:05Hello.
04:09Our shift's at night at the moment.
04:11It's all good on her.
04:13Clocking up the overtime.
04:15Hmm.
04:19Has Toadie said anything to you about me?
04:22No.
04:23Um, why?
04:26Well, I told him something the other day
04:28and I didn't think I was being insensitive, but maybe I was.
04:31I told him that I had an epiphany on the road
04:34and that we were never meant to be.
04:36Time on the road made me realise that we rushed into our wedding.
04:40How did Toadie take that?
04:42Well, he didn't say anything, really.
04:44But when I saw him last night, I swear he was being weird with me.
04:49I don't know.
05:14Hey.
05:15Kara.
05:17I was going to call you.
05:18How are you holding up after yesterday?
05:21Yeah, I'm fine.
05:22Yep, Heidi has no filter.
05:24Yeah, or brains.
05:26I'm glad I was here to call out her racist rubbish.
05:30Yeah, well, thank you for doing that.
05:33Oh, no. No, I was just looking out for a mate.
05:37Hey, you know, my next shoot doesn't start for another half an hour.
05:40Do you want to get a coffee and talk about it some more?
05:42Oh, I'd love to, but I've really got to get going to the library.
05:46Maybe later.
05:47Okay.
06:04Hello, sexy.
06:06Her name's not sexy.
06:09It's Rihanna.
06:12It's yours.
06:15Sexy.
06:23There he is.
06:25My trusty second in charge.
06:28Heath, meet Krista.
06:29It's great to meet you.
06:31You too.
06:32What part of the States are you from?
06:34Heath works in our L.A. office.
06:36He's just flown in.
06:37Right. Do you know my sister, then?
06:38No, he was strictly West Coast.
06:40I snuck him out of the country before anybody could stop me.
06:43I got it yesterday.
06:45Oh, well, welcome to Lassiter's errands borough.
06:48Can I help with anything?
06:49Holly, this is Heath, Tess's second in charge.
06:53Holly works at reception. She's here for anything that you might need.
06:57Good to know.
06:59I'll show you to our office.
07:02It was lovely to meet you.
07:03You too.
07:05Holly?
07:10Did you know about him?
07:12No. What happens?
07:15Hey, I'm still waiting on the sign-off paperwork for the experiences tour.
07:18So when that comes through, can you just send it to me?
07:20Sure.
07:21Thanks.
07:25Krista's not like I expected.
07:27Appearances can be deceiving.
07:30You think she's still using you?
07:31Krista might be clean now, but once a junkie, always a junkie.
07:35I've decided it's better that she sees me as a friend, rather than an enemy.
07:40That way, we get what we want.
07:47Good luck with Phil. I will take care of the break walls.
07:49You don't have to take every boring client off my hands.
07:52No, I'm not. I am gagging for the tea on the break wall divorce.
07:55Hello.
07:56Hello.
07:57No, I'm not. I am gagging for the tea on the break wall divorce.
08:00Hello.
08:01Special delivery.
08:02Haz was going to bring these over. I said I'd help out.
08:04Okay, I will take that.
08:06Thank you.
08:07Do not ever say gagging or tea ever again.
08:10Ever.
08:11You look great.
08:12Bye.
08:13There you go.
08:14Oh, thanks, mate.
08:16Perhaps I was also looking for an excuse to check in on you.
08:20Oh, mate, I'm fine.
08:21Yeah, I'm focused on work, which is the best place for me to be.
08:24Melody thinks she's upset you.
08:27Right.
08:28Apparently, she's come to a realisation about your time together.
08:32I'm happy for her.
08:34I'm glad that she's finally at peace with it all.
08:36And I do appreciate the welfare check. I really do.
08:39But I'm looking forward, not back.
08:42Oh, yeah.
08:54Hey.
09:03Hey.
09:05I thought you had classes this morning.
09:07Yeah, I do.
09:08Just, um, wasn't feeling my best, so...
09:11I thought I'd have a me day instead.
09:16When you got that mentorship, you were next level excited.
09:20You seem really flat.
09:22What's going on?
09:24Oh, you know, I just realised that the uni give out a lot of those opportunities.
09:29Not a big deal.
09:30Nothing special.
09:33The Gatsford mentorship is sought after.
09:36It's a huge deal.
09:38You even said that yourself when you applied for it.
09:42Yeah, well, I was wrong.
09:46When?
09:47Hey.
09:49Talk to me.
09:55Some girl that I study a few classes with
09:59reckons I only got this because I'm...
10:03an Asian.
10:04Called me a diversity box tick.
10:09That's ridiculous.
10:11Yeah, well, I did a bit of research this morning
10:13and it turns out that Eden Hills is in this racism hot seat
10:16because some senior lecturer I know likes some bigoted post.
10:22Sorry.
10:24So?
10:26It's good PR for the uni to give a hard to get mentorship to a non-white person.
10:32When you got that mentorship based on your merit.
10:36Not heritage.
10:40I really love that you think that.
10:44But I don't.
10:47And that's why I can't celebrate, because I just...
10:51I'm sorry, but I don't deserve it.
10:55I just need to...
11:00Hey, did that paperwork come through yet?
11:02No, but I have been going over the mess that is Brett.
11:05Yes?
11:06He took an event booking and didn't black out the dates in the system.
11:10Okay, well, that's not so bad. It's easily rectified.
11:12No, the event is for the same dates as the Experiences tour group.
11:15What?
11:17Can we fit them both?
11:18No, we don't have the space. Experiences needs a lot of rooms.
11:22Okay, leave it with me. I'll have a play with the calendar and see what I can do.
11:31Don't you think it's weird that Tess didn't mention her to IC before?
11:36I don't know. Makes sense that she's got one.
11:39He was driving a pretty exy car.
11:42Yeah, well, he's probably on a decent salary.
11:46You know, I could be useful here.
11:49No, Holly, please, don't get involved.
11:51No, but I can invest...
11:52No, okay, we've got enough on our plates cleaning up after Brett.
11:55Alright, leave it.
12:02I'm sending Justin out to Warwi.
12:05You even trust this guy?
12:07He's all brawn, no brain. All he cares about is a paycheck.
12:10You think we'll have problems at the station?
12:12It isn't easy putting people out of work.
12:14I'm going to meet Justin tomorrow and brief him.
12:16I'd like to be part of that.
12:17No need. I'm meeting him in the city.
12:20Best nobody here sees him around.
12:24Come in.
12:27Hey, Krista.
12:28Hi.
12:29Um, sorry to interrupt, but I thought you should know that Brett has struck again.
12:34What's happened?
12:36We've double-booked the Experiences Tour with an accounting conference.
12:39I see. How do you plan to rectify it?
12:42We can't do that.
12:43I see. How do you plan to rectify it?
12:45We can't do both.
12:48We've hosted the accounting group before, but they're nowhere near as big as Experiences.
12:53I'm thinking of cancelling them.
12:55Risky to sever a relationship with an existing client.
13:00What do you think?
13:01I'm not here to tell you how to run the hotel.
13:04You make the call.
13:06Brett, the accounting conference has to go.
13:13You kind of ran away from me this morning.
13:16I was worried that I upset you when I had a go at Heidi.
13:21No. It's fine.
13:24I wanted to explain that when I have a reaction to someone like that, it's a knee-jerk for me.
13:30I do it without thinking because I have to.
13:33To protect my family.
13:37Because you're in an interracial relationship.
13:41Interracial. Same sex.
13:44People can be so bigoted and if you don't call them out on it, then nothing changes.
13:50I really think that you should consider making a complaint to the uni.
13:57Look, I'm very used to being judged for looking Asian, but sometimes the best course is you have to ignore it.
14:05What if it had been Sadie?
14:07Would you ignore it then?
14:10Well, no, she's my daughter, so of course I'd stand up for her.
14:13Yeah, so you just have to find that same fight for yourself.
14:17You know, you should stand up and let the uni know what was said.
14:23Okay, well, I promise that I will think about it.
14:26Okay.
14:30Sorry, I have to take this.
14:31It's alright.
14:40Hey.
14:42Hey.
14:45Carl spoke to you, didn't he?
14:49That's all good.
14:50I just don't want you taking what I said the wrong way.
14:52I'm not trying to minimise our relationship, or...
14:55It's fine, Millie.
15:02Actually, um, for the love of God,
15:06Actually, um, for the record, I don't agree.
15:11Okay.
15:12Just because our wedding happened quickly doesn't mean that things wouldn't have worked out.
15:15Because that's life, right?
15:17That things can happen fast.
15:19And they can be good, long-lasting things.
15:25So, let's just put this behind us.
15:35Okay.
15:46Hey, Krista.
15:47Nice work before.
15:49I thought your decision-making on the eventing issue was impressive.
15:52Oh, thanks.
15:53I like your confidence.
15:54Well, I wish I had more of it when I spoke to the rep from the accountings conference.
15:58I had to take the news.
16:00Let's just say they won't be coming to Las Vegas again.
16:05Krista Sinclair?
16:08Yes.
16:09Oh, I'm so glad you called.
16:10I'm still waiting on the sign-off papers.
16:15Um, oh, but hang on.
16:17We had a verbal agreement.
16:19You can't just back out.
16:23Well, um, can we at least discuss this?
16:25I don't know, I could make a counter-offer.
16:28A-Experience has got a more competitive rate at another hotel.
16:32They just pulled the plug.
16:34How am I going to tell Tess that I lost two massive clients today?
16:38Say something along the lines of,
16:40Tess, I lost two massive clients.
16:42Won't be fun, but she has no respect for people who dance around the truth.
16:51It's nice to hear from you.
16:53Well, you are one of my favorite YouTubers.
16:55Well, you are one of my favorite uni friends.
16:57Don't tell Parker.
17:00Hey, hey, I heard about the gas momentum shit.
17:04Yeah.
17:06Yeah, yeah, me.
17:07Diversity pick.
17:09Whoa, where'd...
17:11Where'd that come from?
17:15Heidi.
17:16Said it straight to my face.
17:18That is not cool.
17:20Or valid.
17:22Did you tell her what to do with her opinion?
17:25Well, she caught me off guard,
17:27but Cara was there and, you know, she heard it and was able to pull her off.
17:31But then I told Andrew,
17:33and he just thinks the accusations are silly.
17:36Well, but he doesn't get to decide that, you do.
17:40Yeah, well, they're just lucky they don't know what this feels like.
17:56I mean, he's a total player.
17:58I got that right away.
17:59But do you know what I like?
18:00He doesn't try to hide it.
18:03Are you listening to me?
18:05I just had a bit of a weird conversation before.
18:09Never mind.
18:11Incoming.
18:14This is, uh, the first time I've ever seen you.
18:17Yeah, I know.
18:18I know.
18:19I know.
18:20I know.
18:21I know.
18:22I know.
18:23Is this, uh, the best place for coffee?
18:26Um, it's alright.
18:28But Harold's is better.
18:30They have a smoother blend there.
18:37Oh, um, this is Melanie.
18:39Hi, Melanie.
18:42Well, I'll have to check out Harold's next time.
18:47Yeah.
18:48Of course.
18:51Told you.
18:52Total hottie.
18:53Did you say that he works for Tess?
18:55The same Tess that Krista is trying to keep on the right side of?
18:59Yeah, so?
19:00So, it puts him out of balance.
19:04The Quill Group snapped up the Experiences Tour.
19:06I have no idea how they found out about it.
19:09How much was the accounting conference worth?
19:11Just shy of 50k.
19:16This is disappointing.
19:19But...
19:21I'm impressed with how you're handling things.
19:24You could have passed the buck.
19:25Instead, you're here owning it.
19:28This says something.
19:31I'll find a way to recoup the loss.
19:34On top of the other losses.
19:36Sure you will.
19:40Bye.
19:41Bye.
19:49Looks like someone's plan paid off.
19:53She's such an easy target.
19:55There's absolutely no way she can find out that you tipped off the other hotel.
19:58They won't say anything.
20:00Krista thinks it's her own fault.
20:03Wow.
20:05I think someone deserves our award.
20:14Why is Kara pushing you to make a complaint?
20:17Oh, it's personal for her.
20:19Whereas Andrew, he's seeing it more logically.
20:21You know, he wants me to just ignore it.
20:23Move on.
20:24Pretty easy to have strong perspectives when you haven't experienced racism before.
20:29We had a fill-in lecturer at my biology tute the other week.
20:32And she told me that my English was very good.
20:37It's the only language I speak.
20:39My mannering sucks.
20:40Yeah.
20:41I get that it works sometimes too.
20:43Like, I know it's not all intentional, but...
20:45It makes me feel less than.
20:47You know?
20:48Yeah.
20:49Yeah, I do.
20:50And that is why I feel weird about this mentorship.
20:54Still gonna take it?
20:56Well, I don't like that my work's being questioned.
20:58Well, then push it back.
21:03Yeah, that...
21:04I mean, that would be the ultimate statement, wouldn't it?
21:08No, but why should I have to lose out just to prove myself?
21:13Look, don't make any decisions yet.
21:16Focus on you.
21:17Focus on the effort that you put in.
21:20I mean, that in itself is something to be proud of.
21:23Yeah.
21:24Okay.
21:42Toad?
21:51Toad?
21:53You alright?
21:58I'm fine.
22:00I obviously touched a nerve before.
22:03I'm sorry.
22:04If I implied anything about you and Therese...
22:06My relationship with Therese is completely different to you and me.
22:09I know.
22:11I honestly don't want to cause any trouble for you.
22:13You're not.
22:15You can't.
22:16No one can.
22:18Not you.
22:19Not Sonia.
22:21Dee.
22:23Nobody.
22:34Coming up on Neighbours.
22:36It's impressive how you haven't let your recent setbacks get you down.
22:39You've been having so many good days recently.
22:42I'm scared you're going backwards.
22:44I'm really worried about Holly too.
22:46Then it's settled.
22:47We have to say something.
22:48I can't deny that I'm going through some stuff.
