00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:04Let's get married.
00:05Did I say something?
00:07There's nothing worth mentioning.
00:08I have a job offer in Paris.
00:11You've got to give it some serious thought.
00:13Mackenzie meant the proposal, she told Sadie.
00:16Heza's totally into marrying you.
00:17Will you marry me?
00:18Yes!
00:20Theresa, I will always love you.
00:21I can't seem to get anything right lately.
00:23But I made a promise that I'd be in their lives forever.
00:26So I want to have something formalised.
00:31Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect plan
00:49Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours become good friends
01:08A relaxing weekend getaway to the Highlands.
01:11Oh, it's spring, very decadent.
01:13That's so generous, but you don't have to get us a present.
01:17You didn't have to take me in.
01:19It's the least I could do.
01:20You'll always have a home here, you know that.
01:22You bet.
01:24Oh, hello you.
01:25I come bearing gifts.
01:27Someone's being spoiled today.
01:29Oh, it's nothing too exciting, but I did splash out a bit at the supermarket.
01:32Oh, I'll say.
01:34French brie, truffle oils, top-shelf stuff.
01:39Oh, goodness me, darling.
01:41I would never spend this much on groceries.
01:43There's a shop.
01:44Honestly, Holly, you can't spend your wages on stuff like this.
01:47Oh, no, it's my treat.
01:49Anyway, I've got to get going.
01:50Apparently, Mac and Haz have some exciting news.
01:52But enjoy the truffle oil.
01:54Okay.
01:55Bye.
01:56See ya.
01:58She seems to be doing better.
01:59Yeah, I hope she's not just pretending for our sake.
02:02We've had some pretty good chats.
02:04She's not bottling it up.
02:06Yeah, I've been checking on her too.
02:07Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
02:09Chocolates, strawberries, these are going to the spa.
02:16Sadie, Byron, we specifically asked you not to gossip behind our backs.
02:21But that's exactly what you did.
02:24Now, Mackenzie and I have had a long talk about the ways you betrayed our trust.
02:28And...
02:29And...
02:31We couldn't be more grateful.
02:33Which is why we have gathered you all here today to say...
02:38We're moving to Paris.
02:39What?!
02:40What?!
02:41Oh, yeah, yes.
02:42And one just small, tiny thing, you know, whatever.
02:45We're getting married.
02:47Oh, my God!
02:49Oh, my gosh!
02:51Oh, my God!
02:52You two!
02:53Get out of my way!
02:55Oh, my God!
02:57Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
02:58Sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:59Yeah, fine, fine.
03:01You two, you finally knocked your heads together.
03:03Wait, I can't believe we're losing both of you.
03:05Yeah, it's the end of an era.
03:07Hey, um, you got a wedding date sorted?
03:09Uh, well, no, we haven't really had time to sort anything out.
03:12Although getting married in Paris does sound pretty spectacular.
03:15Oh, my God, talk about a fairy tale.
03:17Here's to happily ever after!
03:19Ah!
03:23SIGHS
03:34Ah, there you are.
03:35Hey, what's up?
03:36Oh, no, nothing, nothing serious.
03:38Uh, no, I've just got to get back to the florist ASAP.
03:40Oh. What, the hotel florist?
03:42Yeah, yeah, well, it's just they've had a really big cancellation.
03:44They've got heaps of stock going for peanuts.
03:46So they offered it to me, obviously, but, uh, you can't really use them.
03:49I thought maybe you could use them at the vineyard.
03:51Uh, it's a nice sort, but we just had our flower delivery yesterday.
03:54Oh, OK, all right.
03:55Um, how's Therese doing?
03:57Hmm.
03:58I mean, I'm keeping my distance, as promised.
04:00But if I know her, she's going to be working around the clock
04:02to keep her mind off things, eh?
04:03Hmm.
04:04Well, worst ways of coping, yeah?
04:05Mm-hmm.
04:11Hey, can I help?
04:12Ah!
04:13What?
04:14So how's the fallout from that embezzlement mess?
04:16Oh, that's a fiasco.
04:18At least Tess is cooperating.
04:20Probably trying to wrangle herself a lighter sentence.
04:22Yeah, probably.
04:23I don't know.
04:24At least most of the money that she stole from SingCast will be returned.
04:27Ah, most of it?
04:29Yeah.
04:30Heath managed to burn through a lot of it before he died.
04:32No.
04:33Just no way to trace that?
04:35Uh, no.
04:36He liquidated a lot of it to cash.
04:38At least our fraud insurance will cover it.
04:40Best outcome for everybody.
04:42Except for Tess.
04:44And Heath, obviously.
04:46Oh, uh, sorry, I'll, uh...
04:49Oh, sorry, that was really insensitive, I didn't think.
04:51Oh, no, it's okay.
04:53Be as flippant as you like around me.
04:56Honestly, I'm moving forward.
04:58Especially today when there's so much happy news to celebrate.
05:02Exactly. Onwards and upwards, eh?
05:04Yep.
05:05Good.
05:06Careful.
05:12Picture this.
05:13Regal Gardens of Versailles.
05:16Well, I think the Palace of Versailles might be slightly out of our price range.
05:20So I'm guessing Paris is a bit of a curveball for your career plans?
05:23Yeah, kind of, but it does give me a very clean slate.
05:27Really looking forward to coming on board.
05:30Talk soon.
05:32Merci, à bientôt.
05:33Cool.
05:34Merci.
05:35Hey, sounding like a proper local.
05:37Okay, so that was my new firm.
05:39Mm-hmm. And, wait, is there a problem?
05:42No, not exactly.
05:44They're going to send over my new contract now.
05:46They're organising all of our travel arrangements,
05:48plus one month's accommodation, so we can find our feet.
05:51Okay, so why does it look like there's a catch?
05:53Um, they want me to start in two weeks.
05:56Whoa, hey, whoa, that's, like, that's pretty soon.
06:00Yeah, well, we can help you find new housemates.
06:02No, don't be silly. You'll have enough to worry about.
06:05And we'll pitch in as much as we can.
06:07Yeah, totally.
06:08How can we help? What can we do?
06:10I need to put the café on the market ASAP.
06:12I need to figure out a way to get Trev to France
06:14and talk to IT recruiters.
06:16Yeah, I need to do a full handover with Toadie
06:18and I don't know if my passport's up to date.
06:20I don't even know where my passport is.
06:22Okay, okay, stop. That's enough of that.
06:24Okay, this is no time to be freaking out.
06:26It's time for celebrating!
06:28Yeah!
06:29Woo!
06:30Yeah, yeah.
06:31Today, we forget about logistics and we party!
06:34Yay!
06:35Yay!
06:37Yay!
06:39Okay.
06:40Well, unless there's anything else, I think we're done.
06:43Mm-hm.
06:44Um, sorry, sir.
06:46I've just been checking my notes.
06:48I've only been assigned one action item.
06:50Um, checking the community centre for the all-ages yoga?
06:55Is that a problem?
06:56No, no, it's just...
06:58Well, that'll take all half an hour.
07:00I'd like to do more.
07:01Yep, so would I.
07:03You've assigned nearly every item this week to yourself.
07:06We all want to pull our weight.
07:07Well, it's only because I'm across all the tasks.
07:10It's just easier if I take care of them.
07:13Would you rather take it easy for a while,
07:16after everything that's been happening?
07:20Okay, everybody, please, just drop the pitting looks.
07:23I know I've got a lot on at the moment,
07:25but I promise I'm not about to collapse in a heap.
07:30Come on.
07:31Meeting adjourned, please.
07:33Therese Willis?
07:35Yes, that's me.
07:36I'm Ruth from Waddle and Wisteria.
07:38Where would you like the delivery?
07:40Oh, I'm sorry, what delivery?
07:42I've got 30 bouquets of flowers in the truck for you.
07:4530?
07:46Yeah, Paul Robinson said that he was going to text you.
07:55Apparently, they were practically free
07:58and there'll be compost if we don't give them a home.
08:01Consider them a gift from Lassiter's, he says.
08:05I don't suppose Paul's got an agenda, do you?
08:09Please, come through with me.
08:11They'll look lovely in the common areas.
08:13No sense in letting them go to waste.
08:24Oh, Harold, hey.
08:27I've been meaning to catch up with you.
08:29Yeah, things have been a bit hectic lately.
08:32Yes, I can well imagine.
08:34Of course, yeah, I mean, you know,
08:36maybe we could have a cup of tea and a chinwag.
08:39The thing is, Gerard, I'd rather run off my feet today.
08:41There's so much happening here at Eirene Rising
08:44and me as the residential rep, I...
08:46Yeah, sure.
08:48Maybe some other time then?
08:51DOOR CLOSES
09:00Like the last one outside. Yeah.
09:02Oh, really? Yeah.
09:04Oh, hi. Hey.
09:06Hey, we were just talking about you.
09:08Congrats. Thank you.
09:10Yeah, it really hasn't sunk in yet,
09:12but we're just now realising how much there is to organise.
09:14Yeah, moving halfway across the world, it's a pretty big deal.
09:17Yeah, especially when you've got two weeks to do it.
09:19I need to sell Harold's, like, ASAP.
09:21Two weeks? Is that even long enough to get the sale in motion?
09:24Probably not, but I've got to try.
09:27There might be something else you could do.
09:29You could stay on as owner and hire a manager.
09:32Yeah, these days it's not that hard to work on things remotely, right?
09:35It's true, but I really need the money from the sale
09:38to set me up in France.
09:41How about this?
09:43If you don't sell it in time, I'll step in on your behalf.
09:47Yeah, I'll liaise with the broker and vet candidates
09:50and just make sure the cafe stays running in the meantime.
09:52You wouldn't have to worry about a thing.
09:54You'd really do that for me?
09:56Yeah, consider it a wedding gift.
09:58And I know some pretty good property brokers I could intro you to.
10:01Mmm. You guys are the best.
10:03Honestly, thank you. Thank you so much.
10:09Hey. Oh, hey.
10:11Sorry for just dropping in. You're not too busy, are you?
10:14No, no. I thought you'd be the one being busy.
10:16Well, I just naturally assumed that you'd be making sure
10:18you were up to your eyeballs in work.
10:21I just wanted to see you about the flowers.
10:23Ah, look, don't read too much into that, though.
10:26I mean, we genuinely didn't have a use for them, nor did Leo.
10:29So I thought it would be a good solution.
10:31Oh, it was. Thank you.
10:33Some of the residents are already saying
10:35how much they've brightened up the common areas.
10:37No, it's good to hear.
10:39I hope you nabbed a few for your own office.
10:42I may have.
10:43Let me guess, the blue irises?
10:45The blue irises.
10:48Anyway, I'd better get cracking.
10:50I'm glad you were able to put them to good use.
10:52Mmm.
11:01So I just spoke to a business broker that Leo recommended.
11:04She's going to get in touch soon to get the sale in motion.
11:07You won't be running Harold's anymore?
11:09Yeah, I know, but it's what I wanted.
11:11It's just happening a lot sooner than I expected.
11:13OK, so we've bookmarked a few options.
11:16I set them to work on a wedding venue shortlist.
11:18You know, you don't have to get married as soon as you plan.
11:21I know, but we still have to plan and book.
11:23Ooh, this one is stunning.
11:25Yeah, stunningly expensive.
11:26Well, maybe we can change the date to when flats cheap.
11:29When are flats to Europe ever cheap?
11:31I've been looking at hotels too and...
11:33Is that for the whole stay?
11:35Nope.
11:36Per night?
11:37Yep.
11:38Sure.
11:39Look.
11:40Oh, OK.
11:42No, we can't ask people to fork out that much any time of year.
11:45Well, it doesn't have to be a hotel.
11:47We could get a short-term rental with enough room for everyone.
11:50Yeah, I'm sure we can figure out a way to make it work.
11:53And we can save and maybe sell some stuff.
11:58We're kidding ourselves, aren't we?
12:00Nah, so what?
12:02We've just come up with another idea.
12:04We don't need to be in Paris to have the best day of our lives.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Yeah, you're right.
12:09OK, so what's plan B?
12:19Carol.
12:20Hi, again.
12:21Ha ha.
12:22Um...
12:23Hey, look, I felt a bit weird after our chat before.
12:27Oh, Jared, I really must keep on my move.
12:30Please don't pop me off.
12:32You're one of my dearest friends.
12:33I hate to...
12:35I hate to think that you don't want to talk to me.
12:39If we really do have this catch-up as you suggested,
12:43I know you won't like what I have to say.
12:50Just say it.
12:53All right.
12:56Before your marriage to Therese,
13:01you looked me in the eye
13:03and you promised me that you were ready.
13:07You made vows to Therese
13:09that you would love and cherish her
13:13as much as she deserved.
13:17Yeah.
13:19I failed.
13:21Oh, you certainly did.
13:24You failed Therese,
13:26your children,
13:28not to mention the people
13:31who supported you and loved you.
13:36I've seen you overcome so much,
13:40grow and thrive,
13:42despite the hardships.
13:49And...
13:51I've always been proud of you.
13:54But I can't say I'm proud of you now.
13:58Not anymore.
14:00No.
14:12Oh, Therese.
14:13We were coming to find you.
14:15Oh, is there a problem?
14:16Uh, well...
14:17Carl and I drew up a detailed plan
14:19for the intergenerational fitness program.
14:21Ah, yes.
14:22And all the files have disappeared from the shared drive.
14:24Yes, well, I archived those files.
14:27Oh.
14:28Why would you do that?
14:29Look, I decided that the program needed a bit of a rethink.
14:32I want to look outside the box
14:34instead of the usual cookie-cutter classes.
14:38Well, I know that it's simple,
14:40but that's why Jane's event was such a success.
14:43Look how Jasmine and Eleanor bonded.
14:45Yes, Eleanor's made real progress with her help.
14:47Yeah, yeah, I know.
14:49I just still want to change it up.
14:52Okay, yeah, well, we can revisit the plans.
14:56But we're supposed to be collaborating,
14:58so maybe if you're going to pivot like that,
15:00you could keep us in the loom.
15:02Oh.
15:03Yes, I'm sorry, of course.
15:05No.
15:06I should have told you.
15:07Fine.
15:08No harm done.
15:09Okay.
15:15I wanted to talk to you about Harold's cafe.
15:18How's it selling the business?
15:20Well, he asked me for some business advice recently.
15:23I didn't think it involved moving on, though.
15:25Mm-hm, it's all happening very quickly.
15:27He and Mac are engaged and they're moving to Paris in two weeks.
15:31Mackenzie got a great opportunity over there.
15:33Hang on, two weeks?
15:34Yeah.
15:35Well, that's barely enough time to get the place ready for market,
15:37let alone secure a buyer.
15:39Mm-hm, which is why I've agreed to take over the process
15:42and keep the business turning over until the sale's settled.
15:46Why would you agree to that?
15:47Oh, I offered.
15:49It's my wedding gift to them.
15:51Christy, you've just stepped up into a senior role here.
15:53I really do not think that you should be taking on Haz's problems.
15:56Come on, Dad.
15:57Christy's proven she can handle it.
15:59Helping out with Harold's won't interfere with my new role here.
16:01Yeah, you know what?
16:02That's easy to say until you spread yourself too thin
16:05and then you find you can't back out.
16:06No, I won't be doing that.
16:09As you just said, I've stepped up at the hotel.
16:12We're on equal footing.
16:14So you can't veto my decisions.
16:19I'm helping Haz and that's final.
16:24Is there anything else?
16:27No, I suppose not.
16:36Hey, are you sure that you're okay with this?
16:40I am.
16:41It's the best solution.
16:43Yeah, but our wedding shouldn't just be a solution to a problem.
16:46It's got to make you happy.
16:48You make me happy.
16:50You make me happy.
16:52Everything else is just icing on the cake.
16:54I do love cake.
16:56Well, there's going to be cake.
16:58And us and our friends and the rest of our lives is going to be perfect.
17:06Okay.
17:07Should we tell them?
17:08Yeah.
17:11Okay, so we have another announcement to make.
17:14Yeah, we don't want you to go broke just to come to our wedding.
17:17You don't have to change your plans just because of me.
17:19Yeah, we can find a way to make it work.
17:21Well, you won't have to because we're going to get married right here.
17:25In the place that we met and fell in love.
17:27What could be more perfect?
17:29Are you sure?
17:30Yeah, 100%.
17:32The only thing is we are going to have to organise it all within a fortnight.
17:37So we're going to need all your help because it's going to be insane.
17:40Well, we can do insane.
17:41We're great with insane.
17:42Yep, whatever you need, we're in.
17:44Yeah, let's make this happen.
17:46Woo!
17:50Thanks for agreeing to meet in person.
17:52I just thought that it would be easier.
17:54Of course.
17:55I mean, it's the best way to sort out practicalities.
17:58Yeah, yeah, true.
17:59True, true.
18:01Now, I have always said that I want you in the kids' lives and that hasn't changed.
18:07Well, I appreciate it.
18:09And I'm still working through the plan that we discussed.
18:11But in the meantime, I'm happy to have the kids live with me for as long as they like.
18:15Good.
18:16Good, yeah.
18:17So I was just thinking about, like, the day-to-day life, you know,
18:21like taking the kids to school, picking them up, school lunches.
18:25I should probably be doing all that.
18:27No, no need.
18:28Makes sense that I do it.
18:29I mean, they are living under my roof.
18:30Yeah, but it's not really fair, though, is it, to you?
18:34I'm the dad and you've got a lot on.
18:36I said it's fine.
18:38Uh, Therese, I know it's no longer my place to say anything,
18:43but I'm worried that you're taking too much on.
18:45It's not a healthy way to cope and sooner or later something is going to give.
18:49You're right.
18:50It isn't your place to say anything.
18:54I'll be in touch with the kids.
18:56I'll be in touch with the kids.
19:08I feel kind of bad about freaking out over the cost of the Paris trip.
19:13Mack and Haz are as happy as pigs in mud.
19:15I wouldn't worry about it.
19:16Still, it's embarrassing when nice things come up and I have to be like,
19:20no, sorry, two broke.
19:23I need to start thinking about getting serious.
19:26Serious about what?
19:27You know, life.
19:29I can't keep babysitting forever. I need a real job.
19:31But you're still studying.
19:33Yeah, but I'll be finishing up soon.
19:35You know, I have to start adulting at some point.
19:38You know, earn some real coin.
19:43I mean, it's a nice thought, being so comfortable that you never have to worry about money.
19:49Like, imagine being able to fly the whole crew to Paris for the wedding.
19:53How awesome would that be?
19:56You're not planning something crazy here, are you?
19:59Like, hitching yourself another heath?
20:01No, don't know.
20:02Good.
20:03Well, let me know when you win the lottery.
20:05In the meantime, first thing tomorrow, I'll be updating my resumes.
20:10I am so pleased that I bumped into you.
20:13I've been meaning to invite you up to my new digs.
20:16Oh, I would love that.
20:18Oh, it must be wonderful having your own space.
20:21Oh, it is.
20:23And just in time.
20:25Because Carl and Susan's spare room is hot property right now.
20:31Have you spoken to Toad?
20:33Yes, I have.
20:35Have you spoken to Toad?
20:37Yes, I have.
20:40I'm afraid I wasn't much comfort, though.
20:44Melanie's caused so much pain.
20:47To Therese, his children.
20:50Even to himself.
20:52And I think that it was all so avoidable.
20:55He wasn't aware, Harold.
20:58If he could have figured it all out without causing any heartbreak, I'm sure he would have.
21:03That's a very gracious attitude.
21:08What happened to us in the outback, it changed something in him.
21:14If he came home and ignored his issues, he would have been making it worse.
21:19And he knows that.
21:21So he's facing up to himself.
21:24And in my opinion, that's actually quite brave.
21:33Jared.
21:39Don't be a stranger.
21:43Please?
21:46Yeah.
21:47Yeah, why not?
22:03Come on.
22:14Lassiter's staff, anyone here?
22:34Shit.
22:51Coming up on Neighbours.
22:53It's okay to be nervous, you know.
22:55It's a disciplinary hearing and I'll be disciplined the way I deserve.
22:58But you don't deserve.
23:00Yeah, these came for you.
23:02Thanks.
23:03You've been doing quite a bit of online shopping lately.
23:06Is everything okay?
