00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02I have put a patient's hysterectomy on hold
00:04because her sister has offered to donate the uterus.
00:07I am backing the transplant but I will be heading the surgery myself.
00:10It's my project.
00:11You can either accept that you are part of the team
00:13or you can walk away and leave Shortland Street for good.
00:15The panic attack, it was nothing, so you don't have to worry.
00:17Okay, well I am here for you.
00:19Esther's being weird.
00:20I had a talk with her.
00:21Can you just not make me out to be unstable?
00:23Honey, I want to help you but you won't let me.
00:26You just want me to get over it and I can't.
00:28Okay, I can't.
00:34Your son, Adam, sends his love.
00:38He's on his way.
00:41It's okay, Joanne, just rest.
00:46It's going to be alright.
00:49Peaceful.
00:51Calm.
00:54And I'm not going anywhere.
00:58I'm just going to sit here.
01:01Right next to you.
01:09It's alright, I'm here.
01:13You're okay.
01:17Just let go when you're ready.
01:23Soon you'll be at peace.
01:49Joanne, she's gone.
01:51Joanne, she's gone.
01:53I knew I shouldn't have left you here.
01:55No, I'm okay.
01:56No, you're not.
01:57I am.
01:59Mum wanted me to be here.
02:01What?
02:05I wasn't with her when she passed.
02:09She knew that I needed this.
02:22Holy spokes, you found it!
02:25She's all yours.
02:27Where have you been, my friend?
02:29How's she looking? Up to scratch?
02:31Wait a minute, it's been cleaned.
02:33And?
02:34The chain's fixed.
02:36Did the thief repair it?
02:38About that...
02:39Did you actually see the bike thief? Do you know who took it?
02:42I... I did.
02:46What?
02:47Well, I took her in for a service.
02:51Right.
02:55How much do I owe you?
02:56It's on me.
02:58No, you shouldn't have.
03:00I just wanted to make you happy.
03:01Happy? I filed a police report.
03:05I'm sorry.
03:07What were you thinking?
03:08I thought if I did something nice, you might forgive me.
03:11For what?
03:12Fleur, I said some terrible things and I hurt you.
03:16Well, I've moved past all that now.
03:18Well, I haven't and I feel sick about it and I can barely sleep.
03:23Well, I don't like the sound of that.
03:25Just tell me how to make things right.
03:27You already have.
03:28Well, it's not enough. I need to do something more, something nicer, Fleur, too.
03:32You don't have to.
03:33Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
03:35Nothing more. Just be my friend again.
03:40I'd really like that.
03:43Can I give you a hug?
03:45I think that would be appropriate.
03:50Well, I'm glad that's all sorted.
03:52Great, because I've missed you.
04:08Hey, I'm going to see Cassie and Lox.
04:12Sounds good.
04:15You're okay about it?
04:16Well, yeah, I don't want to keep you from seeing her.
04:19You just want to keep Cassie away from her home.
04:23Look, I know that you don't agree with me on this, yeah, but I don't want to argue, hey?
04:32And I know that I'm not easy to be around right now.
04:36So thank you for still being here.
04:39How close would I be?
04:43I looked after a dying patient today.
04:45No.
04:46No, it's okay. Her family couldn't be with her.
04:51And she needed someone.
04:54I needed her.
04:58It helped.
04:59Yeah, I feel like it.
05:01It's really good.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Yeah.
05:05Because I missed Mum's passing, she wanted me to be with Joanne so I could say a proper goodbye.
05:14Do you think I'm crazy?
05:15No.
05:16No.
05:17No, it just reminded me of something Leanne said once.
05:21About the universe always providing what you need when you need it most.
05:26It's probably what she's trying.
05:28I'll sing the universe around.
05:32I'm really glad.
05:33I think me too.
05:35Me too.
05:36Things are going to get better.
05:38Yeah.
05:48Hey, you all right?
05:50Yes, yes, yes, why wouldn't I be?
05:52Well, you know, the triple ligation stuff with NARS.
05:55I know it's not your favourite thing to talk about.
05:56Well, I don't have an issue talking about it, but apparently everyone else does.
05:59Okay.
06:00Well, if you did want to talk about anything, you know where to find me.
06:03Okay.
06:04If there's any work-related issues, I'll come find you.
06:07Excuse me.
06:08Sorry.
06:09Come on, I'm still your friend.
06:11Yes, but I think it's best we stick to work-related issues, don't you?
06:14Um, okay, sure.
06:22What is your problem?
06:24Who else?
06:25See you later.
06:29Hi, come in.
06:31I'm sorry to drop by like this.
06:33No, it's all good.
06:34You know, any time.
06:35You know that.
06:36Thank you.
06:37Would you like a glass of wine?
06:38I won't say no.
06:40Okay, come sit.
06:44Okay, I hate bringing work home,
06:47but I am short a scrub nurse for tomorrow's uterine transplant.
06:51It's going ahead.
06:52That was quick.
06:53Yeah, we've got permission to fast track it.
06:55Who put the team together?
06:56Selena?
06:57I asked her to.
06:58I hope that's okay.
06:59Yeah, yeah, but if you're after a scrub nurse, look no further.
07:03Oh, no, no, no, I didn't mean...
07:05I would love to be involved, okay?
07:07I've read up on it.
07:08It's a groundbreaking procedure, so count me in.
07:11It's also a very long and stressful surgery.
07:14I can hack it.
07:16No, it's too much pressure, and I'm feeling it already.
07:19You're still dealing with Leanne.
07:20I can handle it.
07:21Well, there's no one I'd rather have.
07:23Fine, well, then say it.
07:24Nick, I would love you on my team.
07:26We do need to be 100 percent focused.
07:28Laser focused, okay?
07:30So drink your wine, and let's talk through this op, yeah?
07:35I'll get snacks.
07:37Okay.
07:39Great.
07:44Tonight?
07:45I can't.
07:46Why not?
07:47Drew needs me.
07:48It's all right.
07:49Oh, really?
07:50Is he really busy?
07:51That is not fair.
07:53Hey, bro, have you got Mr. Donaldson's paperwork?
07:55Coming right up.
07:58If you could please have a look at Mr. Grogan's MRI for me
08:00and let me know what you think.
08:01Sure.
08:02Hi.
08:03Hi.
08:04Time for a catch-up?
08:05I've actually got a patient waiting.
08:07Later?
08:08Sure.
08:11Don't worry, you'll get another chance.
08:14Chance to what?
08:16To ask Phil out.
08:18Billy and Phil?
08:19You hadn't noticed.
08:20No.
08:22Harper.
08:23I have got far more important things to worry about.
08:32Five chapters.
08:34Is that a new record for Billy?
08:35Yeah, I just really need to get up to speed for tomorrow.
08:38Okay, well you need your rest too.
08:39Yeah, I'm just reading, okay?
08:42Okay.
08:45Are you sure this is a good idea?
08:47Well, you rubber-stamped it, remember?
08:49Yeah, supporting you.
08:50I wouldn't be on this op if you didn't tell Esther that I'm good to go.
08:53Honey, she saw how much better you're doing.
08:55Thank you.
08:56Yeah, whatever.
08:59But if it's stressing you out...
09:01It's not.
09:02It kind of feels like it is.
09:03It's not the op, it's you.
09:05You watching me and judging me every second of the day.
09:09Right, so we're back here.
09:11Well, we're not back anywhere.
09:13What happened to feeling better?
09:15Oh, yes, I'm not.
09:16I mean, that's okay.
09:19Yeah, these things aren't linear.
09:20Sometimes you'll slide back.
09:23Right, so I'm backsliding.
09:24No, honey, that's not what I meant.
09:25I'm doing my best, Maeve.
09:28Why don't you call Esther?
09:30Yeah, get her to find someone else.
09:32And let her down at the last minute.
09:33Great idea, Maeve.
09:34She'll understand.
09:35I don't want her to understand.
09:36I want to do my job, and I want for you to stop making me feel like I can't.
09:41Okay.
09:43I can't do this anymore.
09:44I'm going to bed.
09:49Why don't you want to talk about it?
09:58Because it's none of your business.
10:00My boss is my business, actually.
10:02You can't talk about him like that.
10:04He's off limits now.
10:05I can't even mention him.
10:06He's my husband.
10:07He's stopped you before.
10:08Yeah, okay.
10:09He's going through a bit of a tough time.
10:11Exactly.
10:12I can see it's affecting you.
10:13Can you just forget it, Phil?
10:14Papa.
10:15No.
10:16My marriage is out of bounds.
10:17Billy, hi.
10:18Mr. Sevier is back in ED.
10:20Scan still okay?
10:21Yep.
10:22Good.
10:23Hey, are you free for a catch-up later?
10:25Sure.
10:26Over a drink?
10:27Cool.
10:28Looking forward to it.
10:29Great.
10:32And you saw there was a change in Mr. Watson's medication.
10:35Metformin has been increased.
10:37Metformin?
10:38Are you sure?
10:39Yeah, I just checked.
10:40Oh, well, his kidneys are impaired.
10:41I thought Dr. Ellis would have reduced it.
10:43Right, let's check again.
10:46Yeah, there.
10:47See, the glycoside has been increased.
10:49Yep, I see it.
10:50Hey, sorry, I didn't...
10:51No, no, no.
10:52It's fine.
10:53Good catch.
10:54Nick, I didn't mean...
10:55Can we just get that to work?
10:56Of course.
10:57Hey.
10:58How are you?
10:59Ready for the transplant?
11:00Yes, up to speed, ready to go.
11:02You?
11:03Ready as I'll ever be.
11:05You've got this.
11:06Thanks, Nick.
11:11Hey.
11:12She's not okay.
11:14What?
11:15Nick, that was all an act.
11:17She seems fine.
11:18Well, she's putting it on.
11:19She just mucked up a patient's medication and Madonna caught it.
11:22Well, we all make mistakes.
11:23No, Esther, she's not focused.
11:27You need your team on top of their game.
11:30I wouldn't say anything unless I was really worried about it.
11:36Shafted is the word I'd use.
11:38She really kicked you off the transplant and took over herself?
11:42Yeah.
11:43Did she say what?
11:45Wants all the publicity for herself.
11:47She said that?
11:49It's high profile.
11:50First in the country.
11:51Sure.
11:52Still, it's not Esther's buzz to steal surgeries.
11:56Apparently it is.
11:59Drew, do you think maybe you're...
12:01What?
12:02Too invested?
12:03There's a lot riding on this for you.
12:04I get it.
12:05Ego-wise.
12:06It's about the patients.
12:07It's always about the patients.
12:09Of course it is.
12:11Still, it might be good to try and have a calm conversation with Esther.
12:15Maybe she'll change her mind and you'll be a part of it.
12:18What makes you think I wasn't calm?
12:21You're a lot better at smoothing things over than people give you credit for.
12:36What are you playing at?
12:38What do you mean?
12:39Dragging Vili into this is just cruel.
12:42Why?
12:43Because you don't have feelings for him.
12:44You're just using him to get back at me.
12:46How do you know who I have feelings for?
12:48It's pretty obvious.
12:49Really?
12:50Yeah.
12:51Actually, you could be a bit more careful because Drew could see us.
12:52Drew.
12:53That's what this is really about, isn't it?
12:55God forbid I threaten your precious, shaky marriage.
12:59You know what?
13:00Maybe you should just go for it with Vili and then we can both move on.
13:02Move on?
13:03Is that what you want?
13:04Yeah.
13:05Right.
13:06Okay.
13:07Maybe I will have some fun with Vili.
13:08I suppose you should.
13:17Hey, Nick.
13:18Please don't be offended, but I do have to ask.
13:21Are you sure you're up for this?
13:23Of course.
13:24Why?
13:25Well, I'm just concerned that maybe your focus might be off.
13:28My focus?
13:29All she can focus on is spying on me.
13:32She's just worried about you.
13:34I know.
13:35But I am good.
13:37And I'm ready to help you perform this challenging transplant successfully.
13:41Great.
13:42Well, let's get the ball rolling.
13:44I think I might have overstepped the mark.
13:48I'll see you in there.
13:50I don't have time for this, Drew.
13:52I'm sorry, okay?
13:53I snapped and I shouldn't have.
13:55You think?
13:56I just really wanted to work on this case and I think I would be a great asset in theatre.
14:02You would.
14:03If you could stay calm.
14:04I can.
14:05And work as a team.
14:06Absolutely.
14:08Are you sure?
14:09You know it's complex and we need you in top form.
14:11I know.
14:12And I will be.
14:14Alright.
14:15But only if it's okay with Megan and Charlotte.
14:17I'll ask them.
14:25Brew, have you asked Amber?
14:29Well, have you asked her yet?
14:31Nope.
14:32Why not?
14:33She already asked me.
14:34Really?
14:35What, does Chris know?
14:38No way.
14:39Just asking because he's your relationship advisor, so I figured...
14:42He's not my relationship advisor.
14:44Yeah, but why didn't you tell me about Phil first?
14:47Because he's my flatmate. He just came up.
14:49Yeah, sure did.
14:51I didn't think you'd be interested.
14:53Well, I'm interested because my little bro's dating again.
14:56Oh, really?
14:57Look, can you keep me in the loop next time, okay?
15:00Ringo, I'm not a teenager.
15:02I know.
15:04You don't have to go after Chris asking for advice, okay?
15:07He's the last person you should be asking.
15:09He's not that bad.
15:11Yeah, he is.
15:12He's a total disaster.
15:14No, it's just...
15:16What?
15:17It feels a bit weird telling you stuff when your mate's with Madonna.
15:21Yeah, but I'm not going to tell her.
15:23Sure you won't.
15:25I won't tell her.
15:27Hurry up.
15:34I'm sorry.
15:42Right, we're all set to begin the procedure, Megan.
15:44You must be feeling quite relaxed by now.
15:46Yes, I'm good.
15:47Any questions before we start?
15:49We'll be together, won't we, when we wake up?
15:51Absolutely. Side by side.
15:54Thank you all. This means so much.
15:56It's great for us to see such a strong bond between sisters.
15:59Inspirational, actually.
16:01There's nothing more important than trusting family.
16:05Okay, Megan, our anaesthetist here is going to put you under now.
16:08Then after a few hours in recovery,
16:10Charlotte will be joining you once the uterine transplant is completed.
16:14Thank you.
16:17How are you feeling now, Megan?
16:20Okay, let's get her all set up.
16:23Such a generous thing to do.
16:25Oh, really, good love.
16:27I'm so pleased I got over myself.
16:28Nesta, get me on board.
16:30You just needed a nudge in the right direction.
16:32Hey, thanks to you two.
16:34For reminding me of all the good things I've got.
16:37Life's what you make it. Right, Megan?
16:41Okay, team, we will be set to begin very shortly.
16:45Abdominal hysterectomy.
16:46Carefully maintaining the integrity of the uterus and its blood vessels.
16:52Good shift.
16:53Nonstop on the wards. I'll be glad to put my feet up.
16:56I'll bet.
16:57Nonstop?
16:58Yes, indeed. Just about to jump on my trusty bicycle.
17:01Thank you so much for working out miracles on her.
17:03No miracles involved, just happy to help.
17:06Well, I'll see you back at home.
17:07See you soon.
17:08And Thaddeus?
17:09Hmm?
17:10So nice to feel things are back to normal with us.
17:14I couldn't agree more.
17:18Mum?
17:19Yeah?
17:20I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
17:22For?
17:23You know, the whole knowing, liking, that you have feelings for me.
17:28Hmm. You should be. It's super messed up.
17:31I know that. And it's not fair.
17:34But I do hope you know that I want you to be happy more.
17:37Okay.
17:38And I want to respect your wishes.
17:40So, if you want our relationship to be purely professional,
17:43then, of course, yeah, I'll do that.
17:47Great.
17:48So, I'll see you around.
17:51There she is.
17:52I was just telling Selina about your boss move this morning.
17:55Work inquiries only, please, Martin.
17:57Oh, yeah, I didn't know it sounded like that.
17:59Yeah, it sounds like we all need to stop sleeping with people we work with.
18:02Well, okay.
18:03Don't listen to her. She's just grumpy.
18:05What's happened?
18:06My ex was shutting me out of my brother's life.
18:08Wait, what?
18:09Chris.
18:10Yep.
18:11What's he done?
18:12Become Vili's bestie and wherever I go, there he is.
18:15Oh, my God.
18:16Yeah.
18:17What's he done?
18:18Become Vili's bestie and wherever I go, there he is.
18:21No escape, huh?
18:22None.
18:23That's tough.
18:24It's killing me.
18:31Zeppelin forceps?
18:34Just need to dissect these ligaments first.
18:37Of course. Sorry.
18:38It's okay. One stupid head, I like it.
18:40Okay.
18:42What?
18:43The kid gloves. You can take them off.
18:47Why is her BP dropping?
18:49No idea. Suction out.
18:51Oh, God. Guys, sorry.
18:53What's going on?
18:54She's lost over a litre of blood.
18:56She what?
18:57Charlie, are you honest?
18:58Yep.
18:59What are you giving her? Noradrenaline?
19:00Yep.
19:02I really need you to be more vigilant.
19:04I know. I'm sorry.
19:05Can somebody please hang a unit of red blood cells and a litre of saline stat?
19:10Let's see if we can dig our patient out of this hole.
19:14So, from now on, we'll be aiming for a five-hour maximum wait time.
19:18But that's significantly shorter than we've been able to achieve.
19:21Yeah, I know it's short, but...
19:23Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
19:25Bye, guys.
19:26Off for drinks.
19:28What? Together?
19:29Yeah.
19:30Okay. Well, have fun.
19:32Night.
19:34See you.
19:35Bye, guys.
19:39What was all that about?
19:41I don't know.
19:46Wait.
19:47Listen.
19:50I'm sorry for butting in on Romulus' operation yesterday.
19:52Okay.
19:53I've been doing some thinking.
19:55About?
19:56My behaviour.
19:57Uh-huh.
19:58I can be a bit self-centred at times.
20:01Right.
20:02And that can impact my family and my mates.
20:05Yeah, look, Drew, I'm glad that you're growing up,
20:07but I really don't have time for this.
20:09Let's have a beer later, then?
20:11I can't.
20:12When can you?
20:13I don't know.
20:14Boyd.
20:15Come on. I miss hanging out with your mates.
20:17Yeah, look, I've got to go.
20:18Where?
20:19To see my son.
20:20Can I come?
20:21No, thank you.
20:23Okay, I'll check in later, then?
20:27Just give me some space, Drew.
20:30Right.
20:33Whatever you need.
20:35What do you mean, eh?
20:38I mean, the celebrity comparison psychotinous in Hamburg?
20:41A lot worse.
20:42Get some pain relief into a patient,
20:44and it's anything from The Rock to John Leguizamo.
20:47Really?
20:48Okay, I'll let him know that I'm wrong.
20:50Yeah, I can tell.
20:55Another drink?
20:56Um...
21:01No.
21:02If it's too soon for us to be doing this,
21:04it's too soon. I get it.
21:05It's not.
21:07Good.
21:08Because it's been a long time coming for me.
21:10Oh, really?
21:11Don't act like you don't know.
21:14You know, you're cute when you're flirting with me.
21:17You're cute doing anything with me.
21:20You know what?
21:21I think I will have that other drink.
21:25This time again?
21:26Yeah, thanks.
21:27Let's go.
21:32Look, I...
21:33I just lost focus. I'm sorry.
21:35You were lucky we caught it in time.
21:38Yeah, I felt terrible.
21:40I get it.
21:41Look, I overloaded you.
21:43It was too soon, and...
21:45I think it's best if you step down as D.O.N.
21:47just until you get back on your feet.
21:48Hang on, one mistake and you're firing me.
21:51I'm not firing you,
21:52but clearly you're not in the right headspace for D.O.N. right now, okay?
21:55Lives are at stake,
21:56and if you're not on your game, people can die.
21:58That was one lapse in concentration, okay?
22:01And Charlotte's fine.
22:02The transplant was a success.
22:03We should be celebrating.
22:06I think counseling might be good, too.
22:08How I deal with my mum's death is my business.
22:10And how I manage the hospital is mine.
22:14You're a liability, Nick.
22:15A liability?
22:18How many times have I been in your corner when you needed me?
22:21Okay, you might not see it right now, but I am helping you.
22:24Right, Gal.
22:25You're just kicking me while I'm down like everyone else.
22:27I thought we were family.
22:29We are.
22:30Okay, I'm doing this for your own good.
22:32Shut up!
22:33You are so self-righteous.
22:36Esther knows best.
22:38I don't know how Marty can stand it.
22:40You don't mean that.
22:41Don't I?
22:42You think you are so great.
22:44Your perfect life.
22:46Mum saw through it.
22:47She knew what a fake you were,
22:48standing on other people to get to the top.
22:50She was relieved when Eddie got away from you.
22:52Okay, this isn't you.
22:54You are hurting, and that is why you're saying all of these things.
22:56You don't know anything.
22:58I know there's only so much everyone can take.
23:00Me, Maeve, your friends, your family.
23:03Everyone has a breaking point.
23:05You're threatening me now.
23:06No, Nick, I love you.
23:07But not like this.
23:08You need to sort yourself out,
23:09or DOE won't be the only thing you'll lose.
