00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02Bill, it's your first night flying solo as the on-duty surgeon.
00:04You're only a phone call away, right?
00:06Don't call. I have very important plans for my long overdue evening with my wife.
00:10Jim Edwards, the haemocollectomy.
00:12I said I'd get to it.
00:13Stop stalling and make a damn call.
00:15Assist the lady. It's too late.
00:16I'm sorry. My mistake.
00:17It was mine.
00:18Thinking you were smart enough to make basic judgement calls without somebody holding your hand.
00:22Ha ha ha! This is a thing of beauty.
00:25I ordered one for you. She'll be ready to pick up in a few days.
00:27That's next level. What did she do?
00:29I knew something was off all this time.
00:31The weirdness, the distance, the not connecting.
00:33You've been having an affair.
00:34Ben Emmett!
00:35Something is going on!
00:36Yeah, you're acting like a lunatic.
00:38Do whatever the hell you want.
00:51You didn't have to stay all night.
00:54Funny, but when your junior kills someone, they make you fill out paperwork.
00:59Almost as if someone dying is a big deal.
01:02Drew, I feel terrible.
01:04Well, just as long as you feel bad.
01:07Look, I know I made a mistake.
01:09So if you need me to do a morbidity or mortality review, I'll do whatever.
01:14Just let me know when the meeting is.
01:17What meeting?
01:18About my position.
01:20Well, I have to see where I can squeeze that in around all this extra red tape.
01:24So, you're with Daniel?
01:26I don't know, Phil.
01:28Sorry, it's just, um, this job, it means a lot to me.
01:32And if I could get some indication of where I stand.
01:37Where you stand is you're cocky, Phil.
01:40And after last night's garbage fire, it looks like you don't have the goods to back it up.
01:43Where you stand is on thin ice.
01:47Consider that your meeting.
01:51Hey, what's wrong?
01:55Is that, look, I just finished night shift or something bad happened on night shift?
02:01Both.
02:07Hey, Sage, how you doing?
02:09Starting to get a couple hours sleep before coming back on later.
02:12You heading home?
02:13Yeah, I'm going to catch up on sleep too, but I meant, how you doing after last night?
02:17I'm good.
02:19Okay, because you did a really good job last night, and it's not always that bad, alright?
02:23Yeah, because that was pretty bad.
02:24I know, paeds can be rough sometimes, but it gets easier, trust me.
02:27And you'll feel much better after a sleep.
02:29Just hang in there, okay?
02:31Okay, thanks, Marty.
02:33Of course.
02:37Go home, go to bed.
02:39Yeah, right.
02:42Hey, Adrian, you wanted to go home early, right?
02:45I could take your last couple of hours.
02:46Really? Thanks.
02:48I'll tell Drew.
02:51What are you doing? You're exhausted.
02:53I messed up.
02:54Oh no, are you human?
02:56My supervisor doesn't believe in me anymore. That's a problem.
02:59No way that's what happened.
03:01He said I didn't have the intelligence to make my own decisions.
03:03What the hell? That's not odd.
03:05I deserved it.
03:06No, you didn't. It's Drew's job to teach you, not break you down.
03:10Well, it doesn't matter. I need to figure out a way to make this right, and showing that I'm a team player, I can't hurt.
03:19Call me crazy, but isn't it usually a good idea to actually get some sleep if you go take a nap?
03:25I kept waking up.
03:28You have to let it go, kid.
03:30What?
03:32I know you're torturing yourself about your DKA patient.
03:34Mayhunter.
03:36It wasn't your fault.
03:38Doesn't matter. He still died.
03:42Well, if you insist on beating yourself up about it, you better do it on your own time.
03:45Let's not get distracted and kill anyone else time.
03:47Don't joke about that.
03:49Hey, I'm sorry.
03:51I know it's tough losing a patient, but that's the gig. I know it's harder when there's nothing you can do about it. I get it.
03:57You don't get it.
03:58Excuse me?
04:00There was everything we could do. Mayhunter just couldn't afford to let us do it.
04:04If people can't get it together to help themselves, that's not on us.
04:09What world are you living in?
04:14Okay, have you got enough ketone strips?
04:18Yeah, okay, okay, okay.
04:20Um, I'll call you again tomorrow.
04:23We miss you.
04:25Love you too, mate.
04:28Okay, bye.
04:30You okay?
04:32Yep. I think he's having the time of his life.
04:35He even saw a sea turtle. What?
04:39I wish you had the money for you to go with him.
04:41Next time.
04:42Yeah, I'm gonna go to bed. You coming?
04:45Yep.
04:47Hey, you two. Oh, are you going to the park?
04:50We were, but I just noticed that Knox's coat doesn't fit anymore. It won't do up.
04:54That's no good, Knoxie. Hey, we can't have you poking about.
04:59Do you think I could maybe take your guy's cart and buy him a few things?
05:03Just me, a coat, maybe a few pairs of pants. He's just growing so quick.
05:08Oh, yeah, of course. Whatever he needs. Right, Nick?
05:10Yeah, sure.
05:12Oh, well, I know you guys are trying to pay things off.
05:14No, no, no, no, not another word, okay?
05:17He is our grandkid, okay, and he needs to stay warm.
05:21Well, it'll only be essentials, I promise.
05:24Do you, um, do you need a coat like for you?
05:28Um, I have this.
05:30That's not warm enough. Hold on, I've got something here.
05:34It was one of Mum's.
05:36I know it's not totally your style, but it's, um, well, it's warm.
05:41Thanks. Um, that means a lot, especially because it was Leanne's.
05:45Yeah, it's no problem. I was, um, just gonna donate it anyway.
05:53How was the night?
05:57So, what, were we just gonna ignore each other and pretend none of this happened?
06:02I don't really know what to say to you.
06:04I mean, you completely humiliated yourself and me.
06:07I humiliated you? You're the one who's sneaking around.
06:11I wasn't sneaking around.
06:13How long have you been lying to me, Harper?
06:15I am not having an affair with Emmett, end of story.
06:18You have to see how this looks.
06:20How this looks is like you made a complete dick of yourself
06:22by raging at us in public like a crazy person.
06:25So you're not even gonna apologise?
06:28I think you should be the one to apologise to me and Emmett.
06:35Oh, hey, Sage. This is Anna and her nana Helen.
06:39She's visiting while Anna's parents are away.
06:41All the way from, where was it again, the North Pole?
06:44India.
06:45That's right, I forgot.
06:47I thought a doctor would have a better memory.
06:49Hey, good bird.
06:51She's been throwing up all night, but she's been so brave.
06:55She always is.
06:57Well, the good news is we know what's going on and we can treat it.
07:00She always is.
07:01Well, the good news is we know what's going on and we can treat it.
07:04Oh, thank goodness.
07:05You have an infection
07:06because the chemotherapy medication you've been taking
07:08has been tiring your immune system out.
07:10So I know you're feeling pretty rotten right now,
07:12but we're gonna get you on some antibiotics
07:14and you're gonna feel better really soon, OK?
07:16Sage is gonna sort that out. We'll be back.
07:18Don't go anywhere, OK?
07:23I've charted those antibiotics.
07:25Sorry, I thought you knew she had leukaemia.
07:27Oh, no, Sharon just told me you'd be in Ward 5.
07:29It's fine. It's just a surprise.
07:31That's all what's her prognosis.
07:33Not good.
07:35Stage 4.
07:37My God.
07:39You gonna be OK?
07:40I will be.
07:41Like you said, I'll just focus on how I can help.
07:43There you go.
07:45Hey.
07:46You got a second?
07:48One second. I'm just coming back from my break.
07:50What's up?
07:51That's fine. Don't worry.
07:53You called me at work.
07:55OK.
07:56If you thought something was going on
07:59with someone you knew really well,
08:01but they swear it's nothing,
08:03what would you do?
08:05You think something's up with Harper?
08:07I don't know.
08:09I don't know.
08:11I don't know.
08:13You think something's up with Harper?
08:15I think she's cheating on me.
08:18Dude.
08:20Have you talked to her about this?
08:22More confronted.
08:23Oh.
08:24In public.
08:25Oh.
08:26In front of all her colleagues.
08:27Oh, no.
08:28It's like, logically, I can see Harper's in the right here.
08:32Uh-huh.
08:33But there's this little part of me
08:35that just can't quite drop it.
08:37OK, you want to know what I think?
08:39Do I?
08:40You're angry right now.
08:42Of course I'm angry.
08:43Harper and I are fighting.
08:44No, mate.
08:46You're having a rough time, right?
08:48And you're just lashing out at everyone.
08:50There's something off between Harper and me.
08:53Well, do you think you're acting all aggro
08:55because things are off,
08:56or are things off because...
08:58I'm acting all aggro.
09:00Dammit.
09:01Yeah, you can't punish everyone else
09:02for what's going on with you.
09:04I've made a total tit of myself.
09:06We all have our moments.
09:07All right, I've got to go.
09:12OK.
09:30How'd you sleep?
09:31Yeah, OK.
09:33Um, my body doesn't know
09:34whether it needs a cocktail or a coffee now.
09:38Is Cassie still out?
09:39Yeah.
09:41Oh, I just feel bad for her, you know?
09:44She's so young and she never gets to have any fun.
09:47It's such hard work being a parent.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Mum was like that when we were growing up.
09:54Just doing it all on her own.
09:55She definitely forged her own path.
09:57A real kooky one.
10:00I just, I don't know,
10:02I just wish she had time to be a teenager.
10:03Cassie, I mean.
10:05Yeah.
10:06The only thing I was worried about at that age
10:07was going to gigs
10:08and turning my normal jeans into flared ones.
10:11Wow.
10:13Don't hold it against me, OK?
10:15I'll see you later?
10:16Yeah.
10:18Look, see?
10:19What a gorgeous little jacket.
10:22Thanks, and don't worry, it was on sale.
10:24That's fine, as long as you got what you needed.
10:27Yeah, I want a full fashion show later, OK?
10:30Did you want a proper?
10:32I better put this one down before he gets grisly.
10:38Shh!
11:09These are for you.
11:11I've got them on my way back from the gym
11:13where I came to my senses.
11:16I don't know what came over me last night.
11:18I was way over the line.
11:21You were.
11:23I'm really, really sorry.
11:25You mean Emmett?
11:26Where on earth did that come from?
11:28A moment of insanity.
11:30I don't know, I've just been feeling insecure lately.
11:33Things got out of control
11:35and it's been so off between us lately.
11:38I thought we were getting better.
11:40Well, I think I've finally figured out what it is.
11:44OK.
11:46I've just been angry.
11:49What about?
11:50Well, not just angry, but feeling weird
11:53after the whole Boyd and Remus thing
11:56and, you know, things haven't been good between us,
11:59but that's all on me.
12:02I just got things completely mixed up.
12:04I thought you were going to pull away.
12:06I never meant to pull away.
12:09I don't blame you.
12:11I've been offloading all of my problems onto you.
12:13Look, we've both been stressed.
12:15There's been so much going on.
12:18I am really sorry.
12:20I lost Boyd and I do not want to lose you as well.
12:24So it's new Drew time,
12:26working on myself, growing, apologising to Emmett.
12:30Oh, no, you don't need to do that.
12:32I'm sure Emmett's fine.
12:33Come on.
12:34If I accused the guy shagging my wife,
12:35it'd be pretty weird if I didn't apologise.
12:37And anyway, I want to.
12:39I want to do everything I can to make this up to you.
12:46That's very sweet.
12:51Why are you still here?
12:53Did you sleep?
12:54I'll sleep when I'm dead.
12:56Mostly just post-op rounds
12:58and catching up with operative notes.
13:00I don't mind.
13:02You know you don't have to prove anything to anyone.
13:04Actually, I do.
13:05Every day is a job interview.
13:09OK, I spoke to Drew.
13:11What?
13:12Don't worry, I didn't mention you,
13:13but he's just pissed off at himself, OK?
13:16Not you.
13:17What did he say?
13:19He's going through some stuff, that's all.
13:23Like what?
13:25Mr Adams is complaining of chest pain.
13:27I've already done a 12 lead.
13:29I just needed you to check it.
13:33The P waves look regular.
13:35Doesn't look like there's any ST changes.
13:37But he's fine, right?
13:38Do we have a previous ECG to compare it to?
13:40No.
13:41So what do you want to do?
13:43Did you try the GTN spray?
13:45Uh-huh.
13:46I can call your surgeon.
13:47Who was it?
13:48It was Drew.
13:49No, don't.
13:50Look, I'll just come and see him, just to make sure.
13:52OK, yeah, whatever you need.
14:00Can I have a quick word with you?
14:03I don't have time to pacify jealous husbands today.
14:05I've got to get back on the floor.
14:07I would like to apologise.
14:09An apology?
14:11From a surgeon?
14:12Don't you guys swear an oath against that when you qualify?
14:15Very out of character, I know.
14:17All right, I'm listening.
14:19What I said last night was completely inappropriate.
14:21You got that right.
14:23And I'm sorry.
14:24Obviously, you and Harper did nothing wrong.
14:27It's just me and my own stuff.
14:29You know, ridiculous insecurities.
14:31Don't worry about it.
14:32It's good of you, mate.
14:33Water under the bridge.
14:35And to be fair, I don't blame you for feeling threatened.
14:37What do you mean?
14:38Well, they taped me as competition, eh?
14:40Right, yeah.
14:42Look, don't worry, mate.
14:43Married women aren't my thing anyway.
14:45Very good.
14:48What?
14:52I'm so sorry, but we have to call you down.
14:54I'm already cold.
14:56I know it's weird, but your fever is actually making your body too hot.
14:59But you're being very brave.
15:01I don't want to be brave.
15:02I hate this.
15:04Me too.
15:05Hey, why don't we talk about something that you do like?
15:07Like what?
15:09Like, what is your favourite TV show?
15:11Ghost House?
15:13Are you kidding?
15:14I love that show.
15:15What's your favourite episode?
15:16I like the one with the frogs.
15:18I don't think I know that one.
15:19How does it go again?
15:20All these frogs come out of a haunted pond.
15:22And into the ghost house?
15:24Yeah, and the people live in there can't see them.
15:26They just keep hearing ribbit, ribbit.
15:28See, I knew you were brave.
15:30If you can watch all these spooky stories about ghosts for fun,
15:32this is going to be a piece of cake and you're going to feel better real soon.
15:35Promise?
15:36Totally.
15:37And in the meantime, I'm going to see if I can rustle you up a tablet.
15:39Not the boring kind you usually take, but one you can watch the ghost house on.
15:42Are you going to watch it too?
15:44I wish I could, but I've got other patients I have to look after.
15:47I bet your nana would like to, though.
15:49It's too scary for her.
15:51I'll watch it, as long as you don't mind me watching it like this.
15:57Are you okay, Helen?
15:58I'll be fine in a second. It's just my condition.
16:01And what's that?
16:02It's called being an old lady.
16:04Do you mind if I take your pulse, Helen?
16:07Do you have any cheese?
16:09What's happening?
16:15Daddy, help!
16:21Hmm.
16:31Okay, we are headed to the park.
16:34Hey, um, why don't you take this?
16:38Get a coffee and a fluffy or something.
16:41Oh, no, you already paid for all that stuff earlier.
16:43That was for Knox, this is for you.
16:45Okay, thanks, Nick.
16:47And I almost forgot...
16:52Mum's turmeric.
16:53It's in her coat pocket.
16:55Oh, my God.
16:57I've been looking for this everywhere.
16:59Do you believe in science?
17:01Maybe Leanne's trying to tell you something.
17:05You're welcome.
17:07Are you...
17:09You're wearing two coats.
17:11You must be boiling.
17:13I'd better get him.
17:15But I'll send you pics of the ducks.
17:16Is it a new jacket?
17:18Huh?
17:19From Silver Lake, maybe.
17:22Um, sorry, I have to go.
17:29So, I confronted her and she just took off.
17:33I checked our statements, okay?
17:35And lo and behold, there's a charge from the same store as the bag that I saw her with.
17:40That's not a coincidence.
17:41No, I know, but it's not my...
17:42Wait, just stop making excuses for her, okay?
17:45She is stealing from us and it has to stop.
17:48She's not stealing.
17:50Have you heard a word that I just said?
17:52Nick?
17:53I told her to buy the jacket.
17:55Really?
17:56Yes.
17:57Yeah, I wanted her to pick out something that she actually wanted.
18:01You know, something fun for her.
18:03So, why did she try to sneak it out of the house?
18:07Maybe because you gave her a frumpy old lady coat.
18:13You're not just covering for her, right?
18:15Because I know that...
18:16She didn't even want the new jacket at first.
18:18Just in case you thought she was ungrateful for Leanne's.
18:21Honey, she didn't want to hurt your feelings.
18:26Sorry, it just seemed really sketchy.
18:30I'll apologise to her.
18:39Drew, could you take a look at this ECG?
18:44It's fine.
18:45Are you sure?
18:47I fully know this is fine.
18:48Why would you even bring this to me?
18:50I just wanted to make sure after last night.
18:54I owe you an apology.
18:56I screwed up.
18:57No, I lost it and it's not okay.
18:59If it's any consolation, you weren't the only one in the firing line.
19:02I made a real dick of myself last night.
19:05So you don't think I'm a stupid waste of space?
19:09Is that what I said?
19:11Okay, yeah, you messed up pretty bad
19:13and things could have turned out very differently for your patient.
19:16I know.
19:17Still, doesn't give me an excuse to say stupid things I don't mean.
19:21We'll be good?
19:22We're good.
19:23Good.
19:24Can't have all the women in my life furious with me.
19:27Oh, right.
19:28Things aren't so great with Harper and I.
19:31I guess I was kind of lashing out.
19:33Anyway, do you mind?
19:35No, it's fine. What happened?
19:37Nothing, really.
19:38She was having a drink with Emmett and I overreacted.
19:42Stupid to be jealous.
19:43I know, but there you go.
19:45Jealousy is normal.
19:46That's how we handle it, right?
19:48Yeah, of course.
19:49And Harper and me are solid.
19:50I know that.
19:51Of course you are.
19:52You guys are the real deal.
19:53And you've got nothing to worry about with Emmett.
19:55Oh, I know. You're right.
19:57Absolutely, I am.
20:01Alright, we're just going to head to ED and get you checked out, okay?
20:04I'm fine.
20:05Just a dizzy spell.
20:06We need to figure out what's going on.
20:08I'll catch up with you in a sec, okay?
20:10Alright.
20:12Nice work, Sage.
20:14I knew her breathing wasn't indicated.
20:15She was pretty lucky you were there.
20:17It was fun. Well, not fun.
20:18I mean, you know, being able to save someone else's life.
20:21You don't miss it?
20:23The highs and lows were too much for me.
20:26You find Peds has less of them?
20:28No, I do. Yeah.
20:30Marty, I have to tell you something.
20:33I don't think I can keep working up here anymore.
20:35Well, look, I know it's been a rough start.
20:37It's not that. It's not just that.
20:38I miss ED and I'm good at ED.
20:40Well, you're great at Peds.
20:42And not all cases are as hard as Elliot.
20:44And Anna?
20:45She's so sweet.
20:46How am I supposed to stand by and watch her die from terminal leukaemia?
20:49By knowing you're helping her through it.
20:51I can't.
20:52I do better meeting my patients for a few hours,
20:54try my best in moving on it.
20:55I can't handle getting attached.
20:57Well, like I keep telling you,
20:59you just have to try and find a balance.
21:01A part of yourself that you can keep at a distance.
21:03I'm not like that. I'm not a robot.
21:07Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
21:09Look, if that's what you want, then of course I will find someone else.
21:12But maybe just take a bit of time before you decide?
21:15I've made my decision.
21:17I'll work to the end of the week, but then I'm back in ED.
21:20Well, if you're sure.
21:22I am.
21:34Did Knox go down OK?
21:36Yep.
21:37Yeah, those pictures of him feeding the ducks?
21:39I can't.
21:40Right?
21:41Yeah.
21:42Adorable.
21:44Hey, Cassie, I'm sorry about before.
21:48I didn't know that Mayfair OK'd it.
21:51But of course you should have some nice things for yourself.
21:54And the jacket is super cute.
21:56OK.
21:57Thanks.
21:58Bye.
21:59Bye.
22:00Bye.
22:01Super cute.
22:02OK.
22:03So we're at Loud and Proud.
22:05And we're hiding.
22:06Totally.
22:07Thanks, you guys.
22:08I love it.
22:09And Knox was super toasty in his new outfit.
22:11It is our pleasure.
22:14Does anyone feel like stir-fry for dinner?
22:16I'm just going to jump in the shower and then I can get started.
22:18Yeah, no, I'll start chopping.
22:21I will help, but I'm going to go check on Knox first.
22:24Yeah, take your time.
22:25I'll sort it.
22:32It's OK, we're fucking great.
22:35Anyone want to come inside, maybe?
22:37Yeah, I'd love to.
22:38Let's sit and chill.
22:39Yeah, sit down.
22:40I got a little session on us and then there's me back.
22:43Yeah.
22:44Yeah, it's really nice.
22:45Oh no, I brought the red card game.
22:48Yeah…
22:49It's over.
22:50Damn it.
22:51Wait wait wait wait, you're not supposed to play this game.
22:53Yeah…
22:54Yeah.
22:55Come on, Sophie's home.
22:58You
