00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I've got an assignment due tomorrow and this clothing thing is really kicking my butt.
00:05Hey, do you know what software I can use to design a workflow builder for HVAC systems?
00:09Send it.
00:10Done.
00:11It's a good PR for the uni to give a hard-to-get mentorship to a non-white person.
00:16But then I told Andrew, he just thinks the accusations are silly.
00:19Well, but he doesn't get to decide that either.
00:21I've been having these really weird feelings.
00:24Maybe it might be a good thing to go see your mum's dance room?
00:27No, something's seriously wrong.
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
01:08Mum would hate this.
01:11Everything's ruined.
01:13Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to bring me here.
01:15No.
01:16No, I'm glad you did.
01:17Otherwise, we'd have no idea what was going on.
01:22So your dad really has no idea about any of this?
01:25Um, we have an agent and he's meant to be looking after the tenant.
01:34Well, would you like me to come with you when you're done?
01:37Um, thanks.
01:40But technically speaking, we're not meant to be hanging out.
01:44Yeah, yeah, the whole, uh, whole without a chaperone thing.
01:49Dad hasn't really mentioned it in a while.
01:52But, um, I don't know, I guess the rule still stands.
01:56Yeah, it's pretty crazy because nothing's even, like, happening between us right now, you know?
02:05Um, I'll go on my own.
02:09Yeah, OK.
02:14Well, I just have to make a speech, meet some of the people involved and then back here for a family lunch.
02:20Oh, it's just wonderful.
02:22Yeah, it's nothing fancy, really.
02:24Mum, you're allowed to be excited.
02:27We're just happy you stopped listening to all the noise and said yes since mentorship.
02:31Yeah, you're going to be a wonderful teacher after you graduate.
02:33And this opportunity, it's just going to increase your skill set.
02:37Thanks, Susan.
02:38Congratulations again.
02:40We'll see you soon, OK?
02:42OK.
02:43See ya.
02:45Well, I'll see you at the ceremony, OK?
02:47And don't forget to warm up your vocal chords for some serious cheering.
02:50Yes, ma'am.
02:55So, how's that acceptance speech coming along?
02:58Still working on it.
03:02Do you know which way you're going to go yet?
03:05Well, I want to say thank you and be grateful.
03:09But I also want to acknowledge that, you know, I'm a proud Australian Asian and I don't expect handouts.
03:17Just so you know, it's only you and that horrible student that thinks that you got a handout.
03:29Yeah, well, two people is enough.
03:36Whether you say thank you to everyone or tell them all to go get stuffed, I'm with you.
03:42I am so proud of you, Wendy Rugwell.
03:47Thanks.
03:52What are you doing?
03:53Put your hand in.
03:54What?
03:55Get in there.
03:56Oh, my hand.
03:57Oh, through.
03:58Oh, through.
03:59Oh, that makes more sense.
04:00Yeah, it does.
04:04What is it?
04:06An email from my lecturer.
04:08I got a high distinction on my programming science.
04:10Ah!
04:15That's awesome, Mum.
04:16Yeah, I've been watching Wendy smash it out at uni and I just didn't think that'd be possible for me.
04:20Oh!
04:22Well, looks like she's better at this whole higher education thing than she thinks.
04:27Let's go find JJ. This calls for a celebration.
04:30My wife, the scholar.
04:35You're so smart, babe.
04:40You were longer than I expected.
04:43Yeah, I've got a lot of work to do.
04:45Okay, well, why don't you switch off and check out my guest list that I've put together.
04:51I know it's a little over the top and I'm really hoping that Piper and Tyler will fly over because they weren't here for the wedding.
04:59Dad, you're not going to believe this, but Mum's nursery has been abandoned.
05:05Abandoned?
05:07It's completely trashed and I don't understand what's going on.
05:10Well, clearly the agent hasn't been doing their job properly.
05:13Dad, you don't seem very surprised.
05:20Um, that's because I knew the tenant left.
05:24You knew?
05:33Hey.
05:35How are you feeling?
05:37Ah, yeah, all the things.
05:39Got your speech ready?
05:40Got your speech ready?
05:43Well, I've got two versions. I haven't decided yet if I want to enjoy the moment or make a statement.
05:56Okay, that's very thorough.
06:01Yeah, well, I'm putting myself on the line a bit, you know, just calling out and schooling everyone. It's a pretty big move.
06:07I think you've just got to do what you feel is right.
06:10Yeah, but what if my instincts are wrong?
06:13Not possible.
06:15Wendy, congratulations.
06:18It couldn't have gone to a better person.
06:20What do you think?
06:21I know, that presentation he did last month on surrealism, whoo, scrambled my brain.
06:26I'm not surprised you're up here today, okay? Congrats.
06:30Hey, I'm going to go and gas a good spot, okay?
06:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:35Quinn, yeah?
06:36Yeah, Sadie. Nice to see you.
06:41Ready to knock everyone's socks off?
06:42Good luck.
06:48Thank you for being here.
06:50It happened a few weeks ago. I'd been dropping the rent, but they were still losing money.
06:55Why didn't you say anything?
06:57Because the agent wants me to give it up. Their business, renting the site out, is something else.
07:04Okay.
07:05It doesn't make any financial sense to keep it as a nursery.
07:09I know that, but I just, I just can't close it. I can't, I can't do that to your mum's memory.
07:17Good, I agree.
07:21I'm sorry, but I, um, I don't understand why you couldn't tell me.
07:27I just wanted to deal with this on my own.
07:30I mean, it makes sense why the agent can't lease it as it is.
07:35It's a bombsite.
07:38I do need to clean it up.
07:41Mum would be heartbroken if she saw it.
07:43Yeah, I'll call the agent and find out what needs to be done.
07:48Okay. We'll do it together.
07:52Yeah.
08:06I'm sorry, I didn't want this to become an issue.
08:10Tony, the only issue I have is you feeling like you couldn't tell me.
08:17I don't want you to ever hold back when it comes to Sonia.
08:21I know how important the nursery is to you.
08:24Yeah, it is.
08:27Listen, why don't I, um, why don't I dig up some contacts and see if we can rustle some interest?
08:31No, it's okay.
08:32Thank you, but just having your understanding is all I need.
08:44Well, that's awesome, Mum.
08:45Congratulations.
08:46It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it, isn't it?
08:48Absolutely.
08:51Sorry, mind if I step out for a bit?
08:52Sure.
08:53We'll save you some cake.
08:56Alright, what are we celebrating this time, huh?
08:58Another distinction.
08:59Actually, Kyra just got her first high distinction on her last uni assignment.
09:03Oh, congrats.
09:05What was the assignment?
09:06Computer programming, if you can believe it.
09:08Your old gig.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Cool.
09:11Coding's tricky.
09:13We might celebrate with some cake, too.
09:15Sounds like a sweet plan.
09:18Hey, Dex, do you want to come grab some menus?
09:24This prestige is just too much.
09:27This prestigious initiative facilitates meaningful, career-focused mentorship
09:34for an exemplary student showing great promise in education.
09:40May I proudly introduce this year's recipient of the Gatsford Mentorship,
09:46Wendy Rodwell.
09:49Wow.
09:53Thank you, Miss Jameson.
09:56Faculty members, guests, and fellow students.
10:07It is with great pride that I accept this mentorship.
10:12It is with great pride that I accept this mentorship.
10:18And it is also with great...
10:32It is also with great gratitude.
10:34It is also with great gratitude.
10:37I'm a believer in lifelong learning, and I feel so humbled to be able to continue my journey.
10:49You know, I wasn't sure if I deserved this, but then I thought, hey, why not me?
10:57You know, education, it's a really, really tough industry,
11:01and I will gladly take all the help that I can get.
11:05So I hope I prove myself fitting of this honour.
11:10Thank you so much.
11:20Go, Mum!
11:21Well said, sweetheart.
11:22Well, I decided to make it about me.
11:26Well, it was perfect.
11:28Um, listen, I better go introduce myself to some of the mentors while they're around.
11:32Some of the other bigwigs.
11:34Well, you better get your skates on.
11:35Go on, superstar.
11:36Sure.
11:39Mum is totally going to bomb.
11:41I'm just trying to help.
11:42Honest.
11:43Mate, what you've done is you've helped your mum cheat.
11:45She's totally innocent.
11:46Yeah, but she turned the assignment in under her name.
11:48She didn't know.
11:52This course is meant to help your mum with her job.
11:54This course is meant to help your mum with her job.
11:56She's going to get a rude shock if she gets to the end of it and realises she can't do what she thinks she can.
12:01It was one assignment.
12:02For programming.
12:04Coding isn't something you can just wing.
12:07I know it was a bad idea, but she was just so down on herself.
12:12Look at her now.
12:13She's so happy.
12:15Will you please just not tell her?
12:20There you go.
12:25It's just strange she didn't tell me.
12:27Well, how much money is the nursery losing?
12:29I don't know. I didn't ask.
12:31I mean, it doesn't matter to me.
12:32If he wants to keep it, it's his decision.
12:36Yeah, well, I suppose anything to do with Sonia is going to be a sensitive subject, isn't it?
12:40Yeah.
12:41Yeah, I suppose.
12:43Anyway, I don't want to make a big deal out of it.
12:44I just thought I'd get your take on it.
12:46Yeah.
12:47Well, listen, if you need any help with the clean-up, just give us a yell.
12:50Yes.
12:51Yes, please, Lesna.
12:52Yeah, of course.
12:53Bye.
12:54See you soon.
13:01I was thinking I should re-pop the cigar, though.
13:03What's going on?
13:06Normally you have an opinion about anything to do with Toadie.
13:10I didn't think it was any of my business.
13:14All right, okay, I knew about the nursery.
13:18Toadie swore me to secrecy.
13:20Why?
13:21Do you remember a few days ago we said there would be times when Toadie and Therese confide in either of us,
13:26and we agreed to not swap notes?
13:29This is one of those times.
13:32All right, yep.
13:33Fair enough.
13:34I won't push you for details.
13:36Just tell me one thing.
13:38Should we be worried?
13:41Well, Toadie's communicating with Therese.
13:43That's a good thing.
13:48It's weird that Dad didn't say anything, though.
13:51I mean, at least he wants to fix up the nursery, though.
13:54Have you ever thought of getting more involved in it?
14:00When I was really little, I used to dream of running the place.
14:04Really? Tell me about that.
14:10Mum used to take me down there all the time.
14:14She'd get me to order the herbs or do the customs change.
14:19Sometimes she'd even let me boss her around.
14:23Then if I got tired, she used to keep a stack of picture books behind the juice bar.
14:32It was like a curl up behind me.
14:42I really should have gone down sooner.
14:44No, you didn't know what was happening.
14:46I think about Mum all the time.
14:52I really hope she knows that.
14:55I'm sure she does.
15:01Come on, dance with me.
15:15Come on.
15:31Okay, and...
15:33Nice, got it.
15:35Congratulations again.
15:37Let's go, I want to get another photo.
15:39Huddle up, nice and close, nice and close.
15:41And everybody say cheese.
15:44Cheese.
15:46Nice, perfect.
15:48Oh my goodness, this mentorship is just going to open up so many doors for you.
15:52New institutions, more influential opportunities.
15:55It's brilliant.
15:56I can't wait to see what you do with it.
15:58Well, fingers crossed, guys.
16:03You didn't run with your speech?
16:06No.
16:07No.
16:09I mean, was I wrong?
16:10I think I missed a chance to stand up for myself, create some kind of change.
16:16It shouldn't have to be your responsibility to stand up for anyone.
16:19Or to hold an institution to account for its crappy PR agendas.
16:24Yeah, well part of me still feels like I should have made some kind of statement.
16:28You did.
16:30You made a statement about yourself, about being deserving and running with it.
16:34Hey, your success will be the best revenge.
16:38Thanks, Quinn.
16:40Anytime.
16:47Is this how you feel all the time? Just so confident and academic?
16:51I studied like crazy for every mark I got and I still get nervous when I go for an interview or any professional development.
16:59Now I know that feeling too.
17:00Really?
17:01Oh, I'm so surprised how good this makes me feel.
17:06I feel like Rupert is watching us.
17:08Oh, I know. Isn't it calming? Like we're on a farm.
17:11Uh-huh.
17:14Hey, now that I'm a distinction slash high distinction kind of gal, I was thinking about enrolling in that advanced class I was worried about.
17:22I knew you could do it.
17:25Yeah, you've always been my biggest supporter.
17:28It's nice to believe in myself too.
17:30You know, forties is going to be your best decade here.
17:33Celebratory drink, please.
17:36Yeah.
17:52Hey, man.
17:53Hi.
17:55Saw you hang out. Now?
17:56Yeah, Mum's nursery was trashed. She needed someone to talk to. I was trying to be a good mate.
18:01Why didn't she want to talk to you?
18:03Because I was there when she saw.
18:06Were you two hanging out?
18:08I was just asking for help about plants. It was just friendship.
18:11You think she's forgiven me too then?
18:13I don't see why not. Message her and find out.
18:17Alright.
18:19So, um, we're cool now, yeah?
18:22Yeah.
18:23Good.
18:24Yeah.
18:25Good.
18:26Good.
18:28Hey, pretty awesome about Mum's mark, isn't it?
18:30She's very proud of herself.
18:35Yeah.
18:36Yeah, okay.
18:38See you inside.
18:49Oh, I am so glad that is over.
18:52Not quite.
18:54Surprise!
18:59As if I wasn't going to find a way to fit in a proper celebration.
19:02Well done.
19:04There is a special treat for the woman of the hour.
19:07Have you met your mentors yet?
19:09Oh, yeah, they were there. We had a quick meet and greet, but just can't wait for it all to kick off.
19:14Yeah, you're going to be so busy, love.
19:16We're never too busy for you.
19:18I've got to go and get a drink.
19:22I'm going to get a drink too.
19:23Okay.
19:26You can relax now. The scary part's over.
19:29Well, having you and your dad there meant everything to me.
19:32Where else would we be?
19:36But it was nice for your friends to come along too.
19:40Like Quinn.
19:43He is a good friend. We're just on the same wavelength about a lot of things.
19:48Come on, give me all the goss.
19:51I'm imagining paper scrolls and those little hats with the tassels on them being thrown up in the air.
19:56Oh, okay. That's more of a graduation.
20:04So, what exactly did you talk to Rose about in the nursery?
20:10Just that the tenant left a few weeks ago.
20:13And before you mention anything again, I took your advice.
20:17I had a session with Rhonda.
20:19Good.
20:23Hey. Hey.
20:25Thanks again for this.
20:27Oh, what are neighbours for?
20:29So you're still on a high from your assignment then?
20:32Yeah, it's no secret that formal education was never my bag, so it feels nice.
20:36I'll just pop this away.
20:38Cool, yeah.
20:40Hey, is Dex around?
20:43He was outside last I checked.
20:45He wasn't there just then.
20:47Oh, maybe up the street? Why, do you need him for something?
20:51Okay, I don't want to rock the boat, but I think there's something you should know.
20:57So, Haz dropped by.
21:01He said you were on Mum's computer last night and you asked him about coding.
21:06Right.
21:08Is there anything you want to share, Texter?
21:11No.
21:13I don't think so.
21:15I don't think so.
21:17I don't think so.
21:19I don't think so.
21:21I don't think so.
21:23I don't think so.
21:24Is there anything you want to share, Texter?
21:27I was only trying to help.
21:29Did she ask you to?
21:31She was just so stressed.
21:33How stressed do you think she's going to be when she doesn't get the same mark on her next assignment?
21:37How did you know that?
21:39She put her name on that work.
21:42You help me with my own work all the time.
21:44Yes, I help you. I don't do it for you.
21:47And I ask your consent.
21:49You did this by yourself and she could get in a lot of trouble.
21:54Did you tell her?
21:56No, I'm not going to.
21:58You are.
22:00Why?
22:02It was a mistake. I shouldn't have done it, but it's done.
22:05Punish me, sure, but she's so happy.
22:08If I tell her, she'll just feel bad.
22:12Hi.
22:14Guess you signed up for that advanced coding module.
22:17Seriously?
22:19Yeah. Well, now that I know I'm not a complete waste to the education system, I'm going all in.
22:25Did I interrupt something?
22:28No, we were just talking about how proud we are of you.
22:34What were you saying exactly?
22:36We were saying let's make a cup of tea.
22:38Oh, yeah.
22:44Coming up on Neighbours.
22:46Paul!
22:48Lovely to see you again, Tess.
22:50Hello. Unfortunately, Paul is anything but a pushover.
22:52Holly, the guy has two names.
22:54And he explained why. Why are you defending him?
22:57The uni think I cheated on my last assignment.
23:00Right.
