00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02Logan has been exposed to Hep B and he needed to tell me because we slept together.
00:09What you've done is you've helped your mum cheat.
00:11But I think there's something you should know.
00:13Tell her, she'll just feel bad.
00:15Heath Silverson was convicted of fraud.
00:18Do you know how hard I have been working to pull this off?
00:21I trusted my uncle.
00:23I think he's telling the truth.
00:24Sometimes you need to break the rules to get ahead.
00:27You know what they say about curiosity.
00:31Neighbors
00:34Everybody needs good neighbors
00:38With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect blend
00:48Neighbors
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbors become good friends
01:06I'm working on a candidate for the interim manager position.
01:09Hopefully I'll have someone soon.
01:11No hurry.
01:12Really?
01:13You're doing a great job.
01:15You might not need anyone else.
01:18Wow, that's a great word of confidence.
01:21Okay, next item is the...
01:24Surprise!
01:26Paul!
01:28I'm sorry, did I get my dates wrong?
01:30No, no.
01:31I decided to come back early to help with the cleanup after Brett.
01:33And to ask why you have any concerns that my esteemed guests might have.
01:37Lovely to see you again, Tess.
01:39Paul, hello.
01:42This is Heath Royce, my second in charge.
01:46Right, once I've had a chance to settle in, how about we have a chat?
01:49You're not too tired after your flight?
01:51No, never too tired to discuss hotel business.
01:57Mmm.
02:00You have to spread the butter to the edges.
02:02Where did you learn to make toast?
02:04At the Jane Harris School, where I was always in trouble.
02:07Come on here, give it to me.
02:08What?
02:09You're not getting it right.
02:13I will get it right, this time.
02:16I mean, with you and me.
02:20Come here.
02:27Oh, hey.
02:30Ah, don't mind us.
02:33Did you manage to get onto Logan?
02:35Ah, yes, yes.
02:36He said he's glad for me that I have the antibodies, so.
02:39We are too.
02:40Hey, we're going to watch TV if you want to join us.
02:42No, um, it's just I've got this, um, like an online work safe thing for the waterhole, so.
02:49Ah, sounds riveting.
02:51Mmm.
02:52Hmm.
02:56I'll leave you with that.
02:57Oh, thank you.
03:02Well, so much for giving Krister enough rope.
03:05Unfortunately, Paul is anything but a pushover.
03:08So what does this mean for us?
03:09Everything's on track to show the hotel is losing money.
03:12We just need a couple more weeks.
03:14What if he starts digging into the numbers?
03:16He won't discover the transfers we've made.
03:18But can he question the losses?
03:22So I need to distract him.
03:25Or keep him busy.
03:27By offering him the one thing he wants more than anything.
03:32Did he actually threaten you?
03:34Well, not directly, but his tone was definitely mind your business or else.
03:38Okay, well, I didn't like the idea of you snooping into his past.
03:41Holly, the guy has two names.
03:43And he explained why, didn't he?
03:47Why are you defending him?
03:48I'm not.
03:50I just think he's an okay guy, that's all.
03:54Okay.
03:56Well, I'm going to head back into work.
03:58Yeah, me too.
04:00Have fun.
04:01Thanks.
04:06God, she really has her knickers in a twist, doesn't she?
04:09What about your knickers?
04:11I mean, are you going to listen to anything Mac just said to you?
04:14Okay, look, I told you.
04:16I know he's a bad boy.
04:18But I can be a bad girl too.
04:28We've tried everything, but we can't get this door to open.
04:30Even with the master key.
04:32It's probably just the locking mechanism.
04:33I'll come take a look once I'm done here.
04:49Hi there.
04:50Hi.
04:51Holly, you're avoiding me.
04:54I'm just trying to avoid another intervention.
04:56Holly, we only spoke to your dad because we were worried about you.
05:01Well, you don't need to be.
05:03I'm absolutely fine.
05:10Oh, uh, sorry.
05:12Are you okay?
05:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:14Uh, all good.
05:15Um, I've just, uh, just got to go.
05:21These losses are worse than I thought.
05:23What's Tess had to say?
05:25She wasn't happy at first.
05:27She is happy with everything that I've implemented to try and change things, though.
05:31Okay, that's good.
05:32Yeah.
05:33She even suggested a few ideas.
05:35Like this great mystery shopper company.
05:37I think market research.
05:39Yeah, come in.
05:43I was hoping we could talk.
05:45I'll leave you to it.
05:52Tess, just so that you know, I take full responsibility for hiring Brett.
05:58Forget Brett.
05:59Can we have a frank conversation between us?
06:02Sure, go ahead.
06:05SimCast are revealing potential asset divestment.
06:10How would you like if I made sure that Lassiter's was on the list?
06:14Reese wants to sell her half of the hotel.
06:17I can persuade her.
06:19Remember, Conrad only bought in because of Krista.
06:22Yeah, um, I thought Reese was happy for Krista to have a project to focus on, though.
06:28We can find something else for her to do.
06:36I thought you'd be happy.
06:39From what I hear, Krista's been a thorn in your side.
06:42Yeah, um, just to be clear, you're offering me the chance to buy you out?
06:48At a very attractive price.
06:51For you.
06:53Okay.
06:55Alright, well I'll need time to make sure that it is possible in my head.
06:58Of course.
07:00But the situation is moving quickly.
07:02So you let me know when you have an answer.
07:10I'm glad it's you.
07:12I'm scared it could have been Vera.
07:14Unlike her, I have an open invitation.
07:18Hey, how was the course?
07:20Ah, yeah, yeah, it was fine.
07:24And how are you feeling after the health scare?
07:28I'm fine.
07:30I don't think Nicolette's forgiven me yet, though.
07:33Oh, Nicolette?
07:34I'm fine.
07:36I don't think Nicolette's forgiven me yet, though.
07:38Oh, Nic's not one to hide her feelings.
07:41I think if she seems like she's good, she's probably good.
07:47Hey, is that why you didn't want to hang out with us earlier?
07:50No, I was busy.
07:52Plus, you guys don't want me cramping your style.
07:54You've only just gotten back together.
07:57Yeah, you know, the last time that you walked in on us in the kitchen,
08:02David was here.
08:05Yeah, thanks. I deal with reminders of David daily.
08:10No, it's just that it was always the four of us, you know?
08:12I don't want to serve as a painful reminder for you.
08:15I know. I appreciate that. I'm fine. Thank you.
08:24The uni think I cheated on my last assignment.
08:28They want me to come in for a meeting and prove it was my own work.
08:32Right.
08:34Was that all you got?
08:36Can you be outraged, please? I didn't cheat.
08:39Of course you didn't.
08:41And how am I supposed to prove that?
08:43It's not like I filmed myself doing the work.
08:45It makes me feel gross.
08:47I don't want to go to class every week with teachers who have no faith in me.
08:50It's not your fault.
08:52This is mine.
09:00Well, Andrew and Amy said it was a really nice service.
09:02Yeah, it was.
09:04It felt like half a man hadn't turned out for Rosemary.
09:07Yeah.
09:09Anyway, that's for Abby.
09:11That used to belong to my gran, your great-grandmother.
09:14She left that to Rosemary when she died.
09:16Oh, wow.
09:18And this, Rosemary left that for you.
09:24Dickens.
09:26First edition.
09:28We spoke about her book collection when I was there.
09:30She must have remembered.
09:33Anyway, I want to hear all about the vineyard and why on earth you took on partners.
09:38Less than three minutes.
09:40I called it.
09:42What's going on?
09:44Oh, we had a bet to see how long it would take for you to put your two cents in.
09:48Yeah, guess who scrapes in the victory.
09:50Oh, I see.
09:52Well, thank you very much.
09:54Look, more importantly, do we need to have a summit about Tess?
09:57Do we need to have a summit about Tess?
10:00What's your take on why she's here?
10:03Well, she's obviously smart and pretty ruthless.
10:06The two I see has a pretty colourful past, but I don't know.
10:11Apart from making Krista sweat, I don't really know why the two of them are here.
10:19I have made an appointment with Leo so that we can discuss some of those ideas for the vineyard.
10:26Hey, can we talk about Aaron?
10:29What about Aaron?
10:31I just feel like we should be less, I don't know, intimate around him.
10:35I think the romance is triggering.
10:37Did he say something?
10:39No, the opposite actually, but I don't know, I think he's lying.
10:43When the three of us are hanging out, I can just feel David missing.
10:49Are you sure it's not about the Logan situation?
10:51I think he'd prefer if we thought that, but my gut says it's David.
10:58Maybe you could talk to him? He might have better luck than me.
11:04I was only trying to help.
11:06Oh, well that makes it okay then.
11:08I should have just listened to Haz and left it alone.
11:11Well, Haz knows about this too.
11:13He helped me a little, but he didn't realise what I was doing until later.
11:16Great, so does everybody on the street know that my son does my homework for me?
11:20Hey, Dexy, maybe you can just give us some space?
11:26Hey, can we just take a breath and try and remember that Dex's actions came from a good place?
11:32Yeah, I'm still allowed to be angry.
11:34I enrolled in an advanced class because of a fake mark.
11:37I'm sure you got most of it on your own.
11:39Don't patronise me.
11:41Why didn't you tell me the moment you found out?
11:43I wanted to.
11:44You were so happy, I didn't want to ruin your good mood.
11:48Oh yeah, well, I'm in a great one now.
12:02Hey.
12:05Do you want dinner? Because Kiri's getting takeaway.
12:08No, I was actually thinking I might take Isla over to Leo and Abby and see what they're up to.
12:12Yeah, they're busy. I already checked, so you're stuck with us.
12:16No, Nick, it's fine. I'll figure something out.
12:19Aaron, Kiri and I love you and we want you in our lives, so can you please stop running away?
12:27Kiri spoke to you, didn't she?
12:29Is it about us or is it about Logan?
12:33Don't lie to me this time. There has been enough of that.
12:37Nick, I want you guys to be happy.
12:40I do, and I love seeing you together. I mean that.
12:44But it also just makes me sad because it reminds me of the times that it used to be the four of us.
12:49And I'm sorry.
12:51No, see, that's the thing. You shouldn't have to be sorry about this.
12:55It's just stupid that I'm going and making this all about David.
12:58It's not.
12:59No, it is. It is. It's just selfish of me.
13:02And to be honest, it's easier if I'm just not here, rather than if I'm with you.
13:07Rather than expecting you guys to walk out on eggshells around me.
13:09Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron.
13:13We are going to go through our whole lives together.
13:25So how'd the meeting go?
13:26Yeah, really great. I mean, I basically told him that last year he was going to be divested.
13:32But I can get a list and let him know.
13:35You know, he can give it to me. I said he wants to, so.
13:39You seem interested.
13:40Yeah, last time I was here, all he said was...
13:49I was trying to get rid of this.
13:54What are you doing? You're not here.
13:56I'm sorry. Sometimes I can't help myself.
13:58Hey.
14:03Oh, hey, I got a coffee. Do you want one?
14:05Ow!
14:06So you're okay with Heath being a bad boy for us?
14:08Let go of me.
14:09And you're okay with him kissing his boss?
14:13What?
14:15I just saw him and Tess.
14:17Well, you must have seen wrong.
14:20His tongue down her throat can only mean one thing.
14:25I'm sorry to tell you.
14:33It's not like we're anything serious. He can do whatever he wants. I don't care.
14:37Yeah, because your face is definitely screaming, I don't care.
14:52So, listen. I popped into your house last night.
14:56I know. Insult command.
14:58You think someone cheated?
15:01Yeah, well, you probably did too good a job on the assignment.
15:05I was just trying to help. I was so stressed.
15:09This is something I could do.
15:10Yeah, I get that.
15:12Coding, computers, that stuff's easy.
15:14Real life, not so much.
15:16Tell me about it.
15:17I was the same. I was a great coder, but pretty bad in real life, and that's where I messed up.
15:22Is this meant to be a pep talk? Because it's kind of depressing.
15:25Well, the point is, it's what you do next that matters.
15:29Yeah, the system crashes, you reboot, you start again,
15:31and if you do it with an open heart, you're more likely to be right than wrong.
15:36At least now he's talking to me again.
15:38There you go. That's something.
15:40I'll talk to you later.
15:45Hey.
15:47So, I'm sorry about last night.
15:50I was humiliated and I lashed out, and that was unfair.
15:53I just want you to be happy.
15:56You make me happy.
15:58When you're not doing my homework.
16:02Come here.
16:04I love you, kiddo.
16:07So, what happens now?
16:09Now, I go to uni, tell the truth, and we deal with what happens next.
16:16Yeah, these ideas are really good.
16:18Amazing. Well, I'll just stand here.
16:20Yeah, these ideas are really good.
16:21Amazing. Well, I'll just stand here.
16:25Alright, are you guys finished with your vineyard talk?
16:27Because we were thinking a little less conversation, a little more action.
16:31When we say action, we mean some very unfriendly competition.
16:35Oh, when you say games, I say yeah.
16:37Of course you do.
16:40You guys know that you don't have to sit on opposite sides because of me, right?
16:44I'm not sitting next to her. She's a cheater.
16:46Oh, excuse me.
16:48That's how it is.
16:49Come to think of it, I haven't played any games with you before.
16:51You're just scarily competitive, isn't it?
16:53Hey, I'm not scary, but I am motivated.
16:56I'd say she's more of a silent but deadly type.
16:59No, I think she's a rage quitter.
17:01Oh, you could all keep guessing or you could wait and find out.
17:04Because I'm going to win.
17:08Okay, I want to make a toast.
17:10Yep, shush.
17:11Shush.
17:13To partners of all kinds.
17:16Work, life, family and love.
17:21May they all last forever.
17:24Cheers.
17:25Cheers.
17:26Cheers.
17:41Cheers.
18:08I think we're both overdressed.
18:12Are you sleeping with Tess?
18:17So that's a yes.
18:19Look, it's nothing serious.
18:21Right. With her or with me?
18:24Or do you mean both?
18:25With Tess.
18:27Okay, I'm only with her because I thought it would benefit my career.
18:30Okay, she has been coming on to me since day one.
18:33I really need this job.
18:35Even with all that money that you inherited?
18:37Even with all that money that you inherited.
18:43After what happened with my uncle, I needed to rebuild my professional reputation.
18:50I'm going to end it with her soon.
18:54I can't bail yet.
19:00I love that you're jealous though.
19:03I am not jealous.
19:08Obviously, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to run a mile.
19:12Well, do you like me?
19:15What does this tell you?
19:22When I saw it in the store, I knew it had to be yours.
19:25Of course.
19:34I guess I can learn to share.
19:39Really?
19:41As long as it's not forever.
19:44And you keep making it worth my while.
19:53I love you.
19:55I love you too.
20:01Well, if you can make the sale of Lassiter's happen, then I'm really too happy to buy out Sincar's share.
20:06I will need time to talk to my financiers.
20:08That's fine.
20:11We do have to discuss Krista though.
20:14Knowing Reese, she'll want to present this as entirely my decision, not hers.
20:19Yeah, I have to be careful about what I say too.
20:21Well, you see, Krista's in a relationship with my son.
20:25I'd really like to avoid any conflict before we've actually got this locked in.
20:28Absolutely.
20:30Discretion is essential for me too.
20:34I look forward to getting you your hotel.
20:38Me too.
20:40Let's celebrate.
20:49How could Reese undermine me like that?
20:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.
20:53I'm not sure Reese has any inkling of this yet.
20:56What, then how can Tess even suggest it?
20:58Ah, the how's the easy part. That's the why. That's the more important question.
21:04Krista, you don't have to worry. I'm on your side.
21:08All right, so what are you thinking?
21:11Don't know yet.
21:13Something doesn't feel right.
21:15Why do you want to do that?
21:17Well, I think we should keep our eyes and ears open until we know exactly what she's up to.
21:21And once we do know, then we can turn the tables.
21:25Who knows? It might even be fun.
21:31Coming up on Neighbours.
21:33Certainly has gone to rack and ruin.
21:35I am scared about history repeating.
21:39Now we just need to figure out what that Tess is up to.
21:42It's obvious, isn't it?
21:44You're the one I want to be with. You know that, right?
21:50I do.
