00:00Like, I want to give Bronte the benefit of the doubt.
00:10There are just some things that aren't adding up.
00:12The clinical trial at a hospital in Canada, she's incredibly vague about, to treat a disease
00:16that we don't even know what the name is.
00:18I just got a call about some tests.
00:20It turns out my bloods showed up benzene.
00:23You got sick from the diner too.
00:25Yeah, the benzene would certainly make her sick, but no, it wouldn't speed up her disease
00:29as such.
00:30Bronte is suing the diner for compensation.
00:33What?
00:34It's the least we can do after everything we've put her through.
00:38She's taking advantage of you.
00:39She is not.
00:41It's for the money, no?
00:42It wasn't my idea to sue, it was hers.
00:43That does not mean that you have to do it.
00:45Well, that's pretty convenient.
00:46You know, I'm a nurse, so I do know what real vomiting sounds like.
00:50Dana, enough!
00:52It's my money, it's my business.
00:54I will give it to whoever I damn well like.
00:56Maybe you should take a step back.
00:58Bronte's dying.
00:59No, she's not.
01:00It's fake.
01:01That's what I'm trying to tell you.
01:02I need your help.
01:03I can't.
01:04I'm with Irene on this.
01:05We slept together, and now he's gone.
01:07Is there more to it?
01:08I think I really like him.
01:10Well, so hang on, now Bronte's suing the diner as well?
01:25Well, according to Irene, she got sick.
01:27She has a right, just like everyone else.
01:28Wait, how much does that make the insurance payout?
01:31Well, if the other guy's doing 50,000, it's double that.
01:34That is a lot of money.
01:36Yes.
01:37He's just not coming out of your own pocket.
01:39What about the excess?
01:40They need to pay for that, and it's going to mean the insurance premiums are going to
01:43go up.
01:44Well, that's what insurance is for.
01:46It's for accidents.
01:47Oh.
01:48Hey.
01:49How's the wives?
01:50Not bad.
01:51You should get in there.
01:52Yeah, maybe later.
01:53OK, all right.
01:54Well, I've got to get to work, so see you later.
01:55Is she all right?
01:56The diner being sued's putting pressure on her, especially now Bronte's involved.
02:06Eh, sounds tough.
02:08She was doing so well.
02:09I don't know how much more she can take.
02:14It sounds like Dana had a terrible time growing up.
02:16Yeah, well, unfortunately, the parents didn't provide a lot of stability.
02:19Mm, thanks.
02:20You're the diner expert now.
02:22All I'm saying is I understand why Dana's jealous of Bronte.
02:25OK, you know what, it sounds like a very volatile situation, and my advice would be to stay
02:28out of it.
02:29OK, OK.
02:30I'll leave it be.
02:31Anyway, I've got to go check the club.
02:32Bye.
02:33Bye, Tom.
02:35So, I just had a very interesting conversation with Ryder.
02:39Oh, did he invite you on the cruise too?
02:41I wish.
02:42No, he wants me to get you to say yes.
02:45I know, he really wants me to go.
02:47Why would you not go?
02:48Well, it's short notice, and Dad's not here, and I've still got the fostering situation
02:53going on, and it's months, like months on the boat.
02:57It's a ship.
02:58And your dad would fully support you in this, and if the foster case came up, you could
03:03just come back.
03:04And it's a cruise around the world, Rue.
03:07I mean, how terrible could it be?
03:08You're being sarcastic.
03:09Marilyn, what are you doing here?
03:11You're not rostered on.
03:12Like, you just got out of hospital.
03:13Are you OK?
03:14Yeah, I'm fine.
03:15I'm fine.
03:19Look at the link.
03:20It's fake.
03:21Obviously fake.
03:22Bronte is not in charge of some overseas hospital website.
03:24OK, well, she refused to talk to Brie about her condition.
03:27She has her reasons, which are none of our business.
03:30She pretended to throw up to get away from me?
03:33Maybe she is not pretending.
03:36She is terminally ill.
03:37Why would she be lying about that?
03:39For money, obviously.
03:40Oh, come on, Dana.
03:41That is such a leap.
03:42Are you kidding?
03:43Hey, I got your message.
03:44What's going on?
03:45Um, nothing, except that everyone around me is ignoring the obvious signs that Bronte
03:49is a fraud.
03:50Well, I'm lost.
03:51A little help?
03:52Dana thinks that Bronte is conning Irene.
03:53Does that sound likely to you?
03:55I don't know.
03:56I mean, she seems legit.
03:57Well, I am telling you that she is taking advantage of Irene's kindness.
04:01Actually, everyone who's made a donation, yourself included.
04:03She didn't even want to set up the crowdfunding page.
04:06I had to do it for her.
04:07I will give her an Oscar for that.
04:09Dana, drop it.
04:10I would have thought a nurse would have more compassion than that.
04:20Hey.
04:21Hey.
04:22You OK?
04:23Um, no, actually, because Bronte is a fraud and no one is listening to me.
04:26Ah, still butting heads with Irene, huh?
04:29But, you know, Harper and Xander as well.
04:31How do you know about Irene?
04:32That doesn't matter, does it?
04:33Am I crazy?
04:34I don't know why no one else can see what I can see.
04:36Maybe you need a change in perspective.
04:38I mean, you haven't told me about your childhood.
04:40Why are you bringing up my childhood right now?
04:42Just hear me out here.
04:43Irene's brought this young lady into the house and she's garnering a lot of sympathy and attention.
04:48OK, so I have a boyfriend that thinks that I'm heartless, but you just think that I'm jealous?
04:52Thank you, thank you.
04:53No.
04:54I bet once you're out cruising on the open ocean, you're going to have a lovely time there.
05:00Kind of lost my sea legs anyway.
05:02What are you talking about?
05:03You grew up on the Blacksland with your dad.
05:05I've talked about the pros and cons with John.
05:07Oh, really?
05:08And?
05:09Well, Ryan's going to be working most of the time.
05:11What am I going to do?
05:12I'll be bored.
05:13There's so much to do, Ru.
05:14It's very social.
05:15Oh, yeah.
05:16Yeah.
05:17We all know what those boats are like.
05:18And you know what?
05:19One outbreak and everybody gets sick.
05:20Ru, can you not say that so loudly, please?
05:23Sorry.
05:24And Marilyn, that table?
05:25Oh, there it is.
05:26Clearing.
05:27Are you sure you're OK?
05:28Because you seem a little...
05:29Sorry.
05:30I didn't mean to snap at you.
05:31I'm just pretty stressed out about all this legal stuff.
05:34What legal stuff?
05:35Well, the diner is being sued by a customer who got sick.
05:39What?
05:40Because of the contamination?
05:41Yeah.
05:42That's awful.
05:43That's not your fault.
05:44Well, we're about to find out.
05:45And now I've just discovered that Bronte got sick from it, too.
05:49And she's also seeking compensation.
05:51That poor girl.
05:52I didn't see her at the hospital.
05:54Is she OK?
05:55No.
05:56Apparently, she was too unwell to even leave the house.
05:58Yeah, I saw her when John dropped some flowers off to Dana,
06:00and she did not look good.
06:02Well, that is why we have insurance.
06:04I just need to suck it up and get on with it.
06:06Oh, hey, I've got to go.
06:07See you later.
06:08Go where?
06:15Oh, you show-off.
06:16Hey.
06:17Hey.
06:18Thanks for coming.
06:19It's OK.
06:20Hey, when did you get back?
06:21Yeah, just now.
06:22Oh, right.
06:23How are you feeling?
06:24Good, good.
06:25Grateful.
06:26Oh.
06:27So have you been home yet, or?
06:28No, no, no.
06:29I wanted to talk to you first.
06:30Oh, what about?
06:31Well, you know how I've been away at that counselling and training program.
06:34Yeah.
06:35And I have to say, pretty happy that you didn't go to jail.
06:38Yeah, me too.
06:39Well, I learned quite a lot while I was there.
06:41You know, a lot of the stuff they taught was quite useful and made a lot of sense.
06:44Right.
06:45So what does this have to do with me?
06:47I've got an idea.
06:48I've got an idea, but I'm going to need your help.
06:53Dana, I know you're screening my calls because you've always got your phone on.
06:56Can you just...
06:57I'm...
06:58I'm sorry for what I said, all right?
07:00Can you just please call me back?
07:03Getting the silent treatment?
07:05Yeah.
07:06I guess you were a bit harsh with her.
07:09I think I could have made things worse.
07:11No, no.
07:12It was my fault.
07:13I just...
07:14I shouldn't have spoken to her like that.
07:15But she just keeps taking this Bronte thing too far.
07:18Those were some pretty wild accusations.
07:20If you like, I could talk to her again.
07:22I think I might be able to help.
07:23Thanks, but I'll take it from here.
07:36John.
07:38Hey, you're back.
07:39Yeah, surprised?
07:40Hey, good to see you too, mate.
07:41Yeah, yeah.
07:42Hey, have you got a...
07:43Can I have a table chair?
07:44Yeah, sure, sure.
07:45Grab a table.
07:46Okay.
07:48Okay.
07:54I see it, I see it.
07:57I breathe it, I breathe it.
08:00I feel it, I feel it now.
08:08Can I get you anything else?
08:10No, thanks, I'm fine.
08:11Can't I need that chair?
08:13Yes, sorry.
08:16Is everything okay?
08:17Fine.
08:19Actually, can I ask you something?
08:22How do you feel about Bronte suing the diner?
08:25Irene told you about that?
08:26Yeah.
08:27That's not great, but like everyone keeps telling me, that's why I have insurance.
08:31I guess.
08:33Not if the insurance company finds out that it was Irene's idea, right?
08:36Tell you what?
08:37Because Irene is the one that put Bronte up to it.
08:40She didn't mention that?
08:41Uh, no.
08:42She left that part out.
08:44There you are.
08:45Why aren't you answering your phone?
08:46Take a hint, mate.
08:47Something very weird happened.
08:48Bronte, I don't care.
08:49Tana is back.
08:51Since when?
08:52I don't know.
08:53I just saw him.
08:54You saw him?
08:55Did you talk to him?
08:56Did you tell him how you feel?
08:57No, he basically ignored me.
08:59Why would he do that?
09:01Good question.
09:03So, a gym program for disadvantaged youth.
09:07Sounds good in theory.
09:08Yeah, but what brought this on?
09:10Well, I went away thinking I'd just be marking time until I got back, but I actually went quite a lot.
09:15Sounds like it did you some good.
09:17Yeah, it made me realise I want to do something to make a difference.
09:20That's great.
09:21I met these guys and, you know, some might never change, but there were some who could
09:25turn their lives around given half a chance, and that's when it hit me.
09:29I could help them.
09:30I could be the one who steps up to give them a chance when no one else will.
09:34Definitely reckon you could be that person.
09:36So, what would this program look like?
09:39Well, it's early stages, but I was thinking I could offer free boot camp classes and use
09:42of the equipment and give the kids a place to go.
09:45So, full access to the gym, not just one class.
09:48Yep, open door policy.
09:50And once I got that running, then I can think about what else I can offer.
09:53Here we go.
09:55But how's it going on the diner front?
09:58Thought you were staying out of that, John.
10:00Thanks.
10:02So, what do you think?
10:03Well, I think it's a great idea.
10:05Sounds interesting.
10:07And what's the next steps?
10:09I suppose the next step would be to talk to Dad.
10:10Already did that.
10:12Told me to talk to you.
10:14Well, I suppose all we have to do now is get the committee over the line.
10:18And how do we do that?
10:31She'll appreciate having dinner sorted.
10:33It's one of those things she has to worry about.
10:35As long as she likes our cooking.
10:37I know how to use a barbecue, thank you very much.
10:39Hey, so get this.
10:41Apparently, it was Irene's idea for Bronte to serve the diner.
10:46Really? That's odd.
10:48You think? She goes ahead and does this without talking to me about it first.
10:51Maybe because she knew this is how you'd react.
10:53Sorry, go on.
10:55It's unethical for us to... It's actually probably illegal.
10:58Can you imagine if the insurance company found out that it was Irene who put her up to it?
11:02Yeah, I get why you feel uncomfortable.
11:04It's not fair of Irene to put you in this position.
11:07Did you talk to her about it?
11:08No, she didn't pick up.
11:10You know what, right now I'm really angry.
11:12Okay, well, maybe you should leave it until tomorrow.
11:15How could Irene do this to me?
11:17Have a seat.
11:19Take a load off.
11:21We are going to do all the cooking.
11:23And get this, we're going to clean up as well.
11:26We're going to do everything.
11:28What would I do without you?
11:30Luckily, you won't ever have to find out.
11:31Tell me again why we're eating out.
11:33Because I'm cheering you up.
11:35Or is it your way of avoiding being home with Irene?
11:37Yeah, well, if Bronte's going to be there, I'm not going to be.
11:39Xander?
11:41So, my girls, what would you like to order?
11:43I think we're ready.
11:45I need a sec.
11:47Oh, okay.
11:49If it's just to tell you, I did our cards.
11:51Your romance on the horizon?
11:53Oh, romance, really?
11:55Yeah, I mean, don't worry if it hasn't happened yet.
11:57Cards move in the same direction.
11:58I might need another five minutes.
12:00Oh, okay, I'll come back.
12:02What?
12:04Oh, no, good question.
12:06Any word from the resident demigod?
12:08He hasn't texted.
12:10Don't look at me like that.
12:12Maybe he doesn't know what to say to you.
12:14Or maybe he's not in a time.
12:16We had time to catch up with John and Bruce.
12:18What's that about?
12:20I don't know, just call him.
12:22You call Xander.
12:24You don't listen to me anyway, so you shouldn't be talking to me.
12:26You should talk to Tana.
12:28Tana?
12:30Well, I can't see why the committee would be against it.
12:32This place has always been a safe haven for people in need.
12:34Well, I just hope they see it the way we do.
12:36Why wouldn't they?
12:38Nick L, Nick L, he's a perfect example.
12:40What an outstanding young gentleman he turned out to be.
12:42Yeah, he did all right, didn't he?
12:44Well, I can't take all the credit.
12:46I mean, it was you and Ari.
12:48Oh, gee, thanks, John.
12:50So when are you going to get this proposal to me?
12:52Soon, I just have to talk to someone first.
12:54I'm sure there's a lot of people who'd like to hear from you.
12:56You were dearly missed while you were gone, mate.
12:58Thanks, mate.
13:00Hey, how did you go with Dana?
13:02Oh, I still haven't heard from her.
13:04Well, I'm truly the dollhouse, aren't you?
13:06Yeah, no, it just feels like we're on different planets right now.
13:08Do you want my advice, mate?
13:10Sleep on it.
13:12Things are always much better in the morning.
13:14Yeah, thanks, John.
13:28OK, Chris is clear.
13:30Are you sure?
13:32Yeah, positive. They're probably asleep.
13:34Keep your voice down.
13:36This is getting ridiculous.
13:38Yeah, so you keep saying, but I'm not really in the mood to have another argument.
13:40Oh, God.
13:42Ow!
13:44You live.
13:46So what now?
13:48Nothing. I'm just going to sleep here.
13:50Not when you have a perfectly good bedroom you can sleep in.
13:52It's right next to Irene's and down the hall from Bronte's.
13:55I'm sorry, are you missing the part where I'm avoiding them?
13:56Well, then stay at Xander's.
13:58I would if I was talking to him.
14:00I know you want him to agree with you.
14:02No, I'd like both of you to agree with me because I'm right.
14:04You think you're right.
14:08You know what? I'm going to take my chances upstairs.
14:10Dana, wait. I'd take it back.
14:26Well, you seem pretty calm about it.
14:28Well, what choice do I have?
14:30If Bronte got sick, she got sick.
14:32And if she can be helped by the payout, why not?
14:34Well, that is good news.
14:36I mean, that money could change Bronte's life.
14:38I hope so.
14:40And at least no one else has come forward.
14:42Well, if there's a dollar in it, maybe I should have it.
14:44Don't even think about it.
14:46Good morning. Good morning.
14:48Coffee?
14:50Yes, please. And double shot because I have to pack extra quick.
14:52I have a ship to catch.
14:54You're going on the cruise with Ryder?
14:56Why'd you change your mind?
14:58Oh, I don't know.
15:00I just thought it was a good opportunity to step back
15:02and think about what's really important, you know?
15:04I think that's a great idea.
15:06And the foster people know about it?
15:08Yeah, yeah, they know all about it.
15:10I mean, my application hasn't even been approved yet,
15:12so, you know, they saw no problem with it.
15:14And Alf?
15:16Oh, yeah, he's all for it.
15:18But you're going to have to fly solo at the surf club
15:20until he comes back, thank you.
15:22This isn't my first rodeo, Ruth.
15:24Listen, can you help Tarnage with his proposal
15:26while we are?
15:28Have a wonderful time.
15:30Bye, don't miss me too much.
15:32We won't.
15:34I will.
15:36Tarnage.
15:51You left the house early.
15:54Tabs on me, I see.
15:56I tried to avoid Irene and Bronte the whole time.
15:58Same way you can't avoid Tarnage either.
16:00Hey, what's your problem?
16:02The problem is that you don't believe me.
16:04Well, it's not about believing you.
16:06What you're saying is huge.
16:08You're my sister, she's a stranger.
16:10Why would you buy her lies?
16:12Because no one would lie about dying.
16:14And if you're going to rip into this girl,
16:16you have to be 100% sure.
16:18That's what Xander said.
16:20Well, you should listen to him.
16:22Have you two made up?
16:24No.
16:25I don't know where this thing is with Bronte.
16:27John seems to think that I'm jealous
16:29of having to share Irene's attention.
16:31You think that's it?
16:33Maybe you're protective of her,
16:35but that's understandable, I am too.
16:37But not everyone is out to get us.
16:39Now come on, stop being so stubborn
16:41and call your boyfriend.
16:43Alright, swallow your pride, call yours.
16:55Hello.
16:57Do you have a minute?
16:59Yeah, yeah, of course.
17:01I thought you were never going to speak to me again.
17:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry about our fight.
17:07Yeah, I am as well.
17:09If I could take it back, I would.
17:11I think that maybe you might have been right
17:13to call me out.
17:15How come?
17:17Because I am the only one who can.
17:19I'm sorry.
17:21I'm sorry.
17:23I'm sorry.
17:25I'm the only one that actually thinks this
17:27about Bronte, so...
17:29Maybe I have to let it go and move on.
17:32I'm really glad to hear that.
17:34And maybe work on some trust issues.
17:38I think that's a good idea.
17:42So we good?
17:45Yeah, we're good.
17:50I'm actually due a break now.
17:52Oh, yeah?
17:54Yeah.
18:20Hey.
18:22Hey.
18:24I thought we'd talk.
18:26Yeah, yeah, we do.
18:44You seem better today.
18:46I am, thanks to you.
18:48Yeah?
18:50Yeah, you've supported me through all of this.
18:52And dinner last night with you and Theo was lovely.
18:54Oh, we love taking care of you.
18:56You really are an amazing husband.
18:58It's gelding well.
19:01I do have something to ask, though.
19:03Okay, shoot.
19:05So you know how you and Theo did that big social media campaign
19:07to bring more customers into the diner?
19:09Yeah.
19:11I was hoping to use that momentum to get more people in.
19:13So, thinking maybe Lyric do a sponsored post?
19:17Hold that thought.
19:19It's over, I've got to grab this.
19:21Oh, thank you.
19:22Hey, darling.
19:24Can you hang on for a sec?
19:26I'll tell him I said hi, okay?
19:28Okay.
19:30How you going, kiddo?
19:32What's going on?
19:34Oh, no, that's awful.
19:36How bad is it?
19:46I think we should talk about what happened.
19:50Yeah.
19:52Look, that night, it happened.
19:57And we both know why.
19:59We thought I was going to prison.
20:01Yeah.
20:03Tension was high in the moment.
20:05Exactly.
20:07And the last time I kissed you,
20:09you made your feelings very clear.
20:11And I want to respect that.
20:14So, can we just forget that night ever happened
20:18and just be friends?
20:19Friends, right.
20:21Is that okay?
20:23Yeah, of course.
20:25Good.
20:27Well, I'll order us some coffees
20:29because there's something else I want to talk to you about.
20:31Okay.
20:43It's been days and they still haven't called me back.
20:46Bro, we're just busy.
20:47No one is too busy to pass up eight grand.
20:50Still kills me that they just want to give it back.
20:52Yeah, well, it's a whole lot better
20:54than having to hide from them forever.
20:58I got his address.
21:00Let's go.
21:05Check the place.
21:08Nobody's home.
21:10So what now?
21:12Now we wait.
