00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Let's get married in Paris.
00:04Then what was it?
00:05It's just this connection.
00:07Maybe I can stay somewhere else tonight.
00:09Yeah, I think that might be for the best.
00:11We're just not going to be able to be friends anymore.
00:13You deserve so much more than that.
00:14Yeah, well I feel like a complete fool.
00:16There's something that's just broken in me.
00:19I'm no good to anyone until I fix it.
00:21Are you drinking again?
00:22I will not fall apart because of what you've done to me.
00:25We both still like each other.
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
00:59Are equal and good friends
01:09Is it weird I don't want to let go of your hand?
01:11Oh, if it isn't right there with you.
01:13Um, hey, so did we say anything about us?
01:18Um, I'm still worried about Dex.
01:22Yeah, yeah, me too.
01:24Plus, things with Dad and Therese aren't going, uh, too well.
01:29Might not be the best timing.
01:31You know, I guess we could just keep it on the down low, you know?
01:37Well, it did help me with my biology assignment.
01:40Well, biology is one of my best subjects.
01:43I could do with some ongoing support.
01:45Yeah, I don't see an issue with that.
01:48I should go.
02:03Hey.
02:04Hey.
02:05You're looking so much better.
02:06Feeling it too.
02:08Um, the doctor said that I could go home tomorrow.
02:11That's brilliant.
02:13Um, the doctor said that I could go home tomorrow.
02:16That's brilliant.
02:17Well, I'm going to have to hold Trev back.
02:19He'll be wrapped.
02:20Um, not that I'm not, obviously.
02:23Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
02:25Yeah, I'm just, uh, so happy that you're getting out of here.
02:28I've really had enough of hospitals recently.
02:31Mm, yeah.
02:35Hey, so, you know how you and Byron were asking me
02:39if I remembered anything when I woke up?
02:43I... I think I might have said something.
02:47Oh.
02:50It's hot.
02:51Did I... did I say something odd? Like, odd?
02:57I might have been dreaming or delirious.
03:01I just want to make sure that I didn't freak you out at all.
03:06Mm, no, it was... it was nothing worth mentioning.
03:10Cool.
03:12Cool.
03:18I think on the scale of Ramsay Street parties,
03:21that wasn't a total disaster.
03:23Yeah. I guess.
03:24Oh, Clara must have forgotten that one in her haul.
03:28I'll, um, I'll take it to her.
03:30Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.
03:38Did Mum find you? Are you OK?
03:41Yes, she did, and... No, I'm not.
03:45You were right.
03:46There was something going on between your mum and Quinn.
03:50They didn't?
03:51No.
03:53But you did cross a line.
03:56Hey, where are you going?
03:57To talk to her.
03:59She's not outside.
04:01She's not coming home tonight.
04:04I never should have said anything.
04:06It's not your fault, kiddo.
04:10I'd just prefer to have known, OK?
04:13Where is she?
04:15I don't know.
04:25She probably just wants to know you're all right.
04:27Yeah, well, I'm not. Don't know if I will be.
04:30Can't tell her that.
04:32Wendy, staying here is not really an option.
04:35Well, I can't go home.
04:36You know, I'm just going to...
04:37I'm closing up, and then I'm going to crash in the office.
04:40Wendy, what's happened?
04:45Don't worry.
04:46You can tell me about it when you get to my place.
04:48You can stay there tonight if you need to.
04:50Oh, no, no, no, I'm not... I don't want to impose.
04:52You wouldn't be imposing, believe me.
04:54You'd actually be doing me a favour.
05:00You should have seen her face.
05:02She was furious.
05:03Oh, no.
05:04I don't blame her, either.
05:07I thought I was doing the right thing.
05:08I thought I was trying to help, but I was way off the mark.
05:11Ouch.
05:12Can't seem to get anything right lately.
05:14Yeah, tell me about it.
05:16Anyway, wham, wham, righto.
05:19You, Wendy, tell me. Any movement there?
05:23When Wendy told me about Quinn, it was like I heard,
05:26I'm outgrowing you.
05:28The more I think about it, the more I realise I've overreacted.
05:32Oh, I don't know, mate.
05:33I probably would have done the same thing in your position.
05:35But, you know, I'm not the best guy, given my track record.
05:38Yeah.
05:40When she said she wanted to stay somewhere else tonight,
05:44I should have taught her not to.
05:46I mean, even after all that Phillipa stuff,
05:48she never asked me to leave the house.
05:51In the scheme of things, though,
05:52maybe a bit of space could be good, right?
05:54I don't know if space is going to help this.
05:58What are you going to do then?
06:05Wendy made a mistake.
06:08But I made one too.
06:11So, in order to get past this,
06:13maybe that's where we need to leave it.
06:17In the past.
06:20You reckon it's as easy as that, do you?
06:24Nah.
06:27It's totally gross.
06:28I mean, the idea of Mum and this guy,
06:31who's not much older than me, having a thing between them.
06:35I mean, she must be having major guilts, right?
06:38She's not coming home. She doesn't want to talk to me.
06:40I don't even know what to say to her.
06:42Yeah.
06:45Are you okay?
06:46Are you having a setback or anything?
06:47Do I need to get the doctor?
06:48Oh, no, no, no.
06:49No, it's nothing like that.
06:51I remembered something from earlier.
06:55When I woke up after the sepsis,
06:59Haz was the first thing that I saw.
07:02Aww.
07:03Yeah, he wouldn't leave your side.
07:06I was so relieved and happy.
07:12So I asked him to marry me.
07:15And then she asks if she said anything odd.
07:19And I didn't know what to say.
07:22Do you think she even remembered the proposal?
07:24It was pretty obvious.
07:26But she also did say that she was delirious
07:28and didn't want to freak me out.
07:30I must have been thinking about it while I was unconscious.
07:33We'd...
07:35We'd get engaged.
07:37We'd move to Paris and have this fabulous life.
07:42I just don't get why she mentioned Paris.
07:44Yeah, exactly. I have no idea.
07:46I got a job offer there.
07:48You were giving me whiplash with all these news bombs.
07:51Slow down.
07:53So you remember the firm that offered me a job a few weeks ago?
07:57The one you knocked back?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Well, now there's a job opening in Europe.
08:01I just got the email before I went downhill again.
08:04I don't know what to say.
08:07I mean, do you want to take it?
08:11It's tempting.
08:12I mean, I would have to talk to Toadie, of course.
08:16But first and foremost, I need to tell Haz.
08:20I love Mac more than I've ever loved anyone.
08:23But now it's obvious that Haz wants to pretend I never said anything.
08:28And if it was a real proposal, I would have said yes in a heartbeat.
08:33But it kind of wasn't, so...
08:36Here we are.
08:38You can't leave it like this.
08:40You need to have a proper conversation.
08:44But what if I'm setting myself up for rejection?
08:50I have an idea.
08:59Spare bed looks cosy.
09:02I only hope my snoring doesn't keep you awake.
09:05I am looking forward to the best night's sleep that I've had since I got in here.
09:13Bit of an adjustment?
09:14Yeah.
09:16It's, um...
09:19It's been hard to be on my own since the cattle station.
09:28Well, I'm sure you'll get enough sleep for the two of us.
09:32I feel like a bit of Scarlet Woman.
09:35Join the club.
09:37Oh, I'm so sorry, Mel.
09:39No!
09:40I didn't mean...
09:41Wins, please, don't stress.
09:43You would have to be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn't made some sort of romantic stuff up in their life.
09:51I just didn't think it would be me and Andrew.
09:59Hey!
10:00Welcome home!
10:01What is this?
10:03This is me trying to take care of you as well as you did of me when I got out of hospital.
10:12Oh, well, I remember you didn't want the blankie.
10:14Yeah, well, I wasn't sure if, um...
10:17Uh, how about a cup of tea?
10:19Thanks.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Cool.
10:22So, what is your plans for the rest of the day?
10:24Yeah, because, um, Insane's, uh, we've already got plans.
10:29Um, well, actually, while you're all here, there is something that I wanted to tell you.
10:37Um...
10:38I have a job offer from the firm that headhunted me before.
10:43Really? Where?
10:44Yeah.
10:45Oh.
10:46I have a job offer from the firm that headhunted me before.
10:50Really? Where?
10:53In... in Paris.
10:55I got the email when I was in hospital just before I blacked out.
10:59Um, I wanted to tell you.
11:02Mac, that's... that's brilliant.
11:05Really?
11:06Yeah, absolutely. They would be crazy not to give you another shot.
11:09Yeah, um, well, I haven't said yes yet, but it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
11:16Yeah, then you've got to give it some serious thought.
11:20Yeah, I do, don't I?
11:23Is that all?
11:24Is that all?
11:39You've dreamt about this moment.
11:41And I still can't believe
11:44that I found someone who loves me
11:48to be my happy ever after.
11:52There is a lot that you have to weigh up.
11:56But I will support you no matter what you decide.
11:59Like a week away.
12:01Oh, like a week away.
12:03Like a week away.
12:05Oh, like a week away.
12:08Oh, like a week away.
12:16What's wrong with your face?
12:18What's wrong with yours?
12:20Much better.
12:27Dad!
12:30Hey, buddy.
12:31Oh, hello.
12:33Hey, Nell.
12:34Hi, Dad.
12:36Hey, uh, kids.
12:38Would you mind giving your dad and myself a minute alone?
12:42Yeah.
12:43It's cool, buddy. I'll come and find you before I go.
12:45Yeah?
12:46Yeah.
12:56I'm surprised you didn't want to see me after.
12:59I really just wanted to say how sorry I am.
13:01I didn't ask you to come over for that.
13:04It's about Nell and Hugo.
13:09I may only be their stepmother.
13:12But I made a promise that I'd be in their lives forever.
13:18So I want to have something formalised.
13:22Yeah.
13:23Yeah, I'm sure the kids would like that.
13:26You just, um, work out my suits and let me know.
13:30Great.
13:31I'll put a plan together and send it through.
13:37I guess if there's nothing else, um, I'd better go and talk to the kids.
13:41Found a new tenant for the nursery.
13:47So you're letting it go after all?
13:51Yeah, I have to.
13:53For everyone's sake.
14:01I did what you said. I told him about Paris.
14:05You need to talk to him about the proposal.
14:07It's obvious he's not that into it.
14:10Well, at least we understand the Paris bid now.
14:12Yeah, but she didn't mention the proposal.
14:14That doesn't mean she regrets it.
14:16It was a total front. He was shocked.
14:18I know has, and that wasn't shock.
14:21He knows how much this means. He'll be happy for you.
14:24He's leaving everything to me.
14:26Maybe, maybe it's because he doesn't want any part of it.
14:29This needs to be about what Mackenzie truly wants.
14:33I would marry her any day, but me bringing up something that she doesn't even remember,
14:37that shouldn't influence her one way or the other.
14:39But she wants to be with you, Has.
14:42Yeah, here and now she does, but with all this new stuff,
14:45I genuinely don't know what she wants in the future.
14:47Maybe he doesn't see a future for us anymore. I don't know.
14:52And you can't say anything about this to anyone, especially Byron.
14:56Yeah, yeah, I know how to get my mouth shut.
14:58But it's a huge mistake.
15:00And you'll end up regretting it.
15:08I feel like we're betraying Has by getting coffees here.
15:11Yeah, well, I would never betray Has because that's just not something I'd do.
15:15And I'd never betray Mack.
15:18Cool.
15:19Cool.
15:22What's with the face?
15:24What face?
15:25Her face.
15:26What face?
15:27Her face. Face like you want to say something but you can't.
15:30Well, you have that face too.
15:32Hmm?
15:35You two look like you're about to explode.
15:38Has wants to marry Has.
15:40You can't say anything.
15:43Bartender's honour. I promise.
15:47Mack's going to kill me.
15:49Has is going to kill me.
15:51So what do we do?
15:54They're smart people.
15:55Okay, they'll sort it out eventually.
15:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:59Eventually.
16:04Well, la-di-da.
16:06That's French for congratulations.
16:08Not really, but thank you.
16:10Mackenzie, this is incredible.
16:12What an amazing achievement.
16:15And so well-deserved too.
16:17So you'd understand if I accept the offer?
16:20Absolutely.
16:21If I could accept it for you, I would.
16:23Gosh.
16:25I was worried about leaving you in the lurch.
16:27Oh, no, no, no.
16:29Please, don't even.
16:30No.
16:31In fact, funnily enough, it is good timing.
16:34How do you mean?
16:36Well, there's a lot of change going on in my life
16:38and I guess I'm just re-evaluating everything.
16:41Even the law office?
16:43Yeah.
16:45You know, this is the perfect next step for you.
16:47Congratulations.
16:49Guess I'm just wondering what the next step for me will be.
16:57Hey.
16:58Hey.
16:59Do you want to come in?
17:01Yeah.
17:08I told Quinn we can't be friends anymore.
17:13I should have ended things the moment something happened.
17:16I shouldn't have let you stay somewhere else last night.
17:20I'm sorry.
17:28You know, I wasn't looking for something or someone else.
17:34I was looking for me.
17:39So is it some sort of a midlife crisis or something?
17:44No.
17:45No.
17:46It's taken me up till now to realize I've spent my entire life
17:51being who I thought everyone else thinks I should be.
17:56Including me and Sadie?
18:00Yeah.
18:05I guess I don't really understand any of it, Wend.
18:10I wish that I could.
18:13I guess that's the problem, isn't it?
18:18Well, it hasn't helped.
18:24So what does this mean for us?
18:30I honestly don't know.
18:35But I hope that we can work through it together.
18:39Yeah, me too.
18:43You, um, you gonna come home?
18:49We have to start somewhere.
19:06Sad thing is I can say it now.
19:08Mackenzie held up in a hole somewhere.
19:12Barely eating, barely sleeping.
19:15You know those people who turn into crazy cat ladies?
19:17That's gonna be Haz.
19:19Wandering desperately every time her computer goes off.
19:21Is there an email from Haz?
19:23Although, Haz is a guy and Trevor's a dog.
19:27Anyways, they're gonna waste away here and never know exactly how you feel.
19:31Well, it is not about how I feel.
19:33It's about how he feels about us.
19:35This is about her.
19:36Look, Mackenzie meant the proposal.
19:38She told Sadie.
19:39Haz is totally into marrying you.
19:41Who told Byron?
19:42You promised you wouldn't say anything.
19:43How could I have gotten this so wrong?
19:45Oh, I have no idea.
19:47Okay, you're no help.
19:48Well, it's not my fault.
19:49All Byron's at you and Haz are completely clueless.
19:51Okay, look, I've done what I can.
19:53Okay, now it's up to you two to figure it out.
19:55Okay.
20:04Of course, I knew losing the nursery was in the cards.
20:08But it's still sad that it's becoming official.
20:13Hey, come here.
20:15You know, your mum is gonna be with you the whole time, no matter what.
20:20No matter what happens with her.
20:22You know that?
20:23Yeah.
20:27This isn't exactly how I imagined our first time hanging out together as boyfriend and girlfriend.
20:35Yeah, I don't know.
20:36Beats pretending to study.
20:38But you know, the thing about being together is that you have to take the good with the bad, right?
20:42And I'm not going anywhere.
20:53Hey.
21:21Hey.
21:22What did you do with this?
21:23Thank you, I only just finished the last one.
21:26Oh yeah, I remember.
21:27Yeah, you were there.
21:33So, this job in Paris.
21:36Yeah, Paris. Huge.
21:48I did hear your proposal in the hospital.
21:51Why didn't you say anything?
21:52Why didn't you?
21:53I tried, but I thought I freaked you out.
21:55I thought you regretted saying it in the first place.
21:59Now what?
22:00I want to go with you.
22:02Even if it means giving up your whole life here?
22:04Absolutely, I would pack up and start again just for you.
22:08I love you, Mackenzie Hargraves.
22:11I love you, Hari Devka.
22:14Will you marry me?
22:16Yes!
22:22Coming up on Neighbours.
22:24You're not planning something crazy here, are you?
22:27So, that was my new firm.
22:29Mm-hmm. And wait, is there a problem?
22:31Please don't pop me off.
22:33You're one of my dearest friends.
22:35I had to think that you don't want to talk to me.
