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.
00:16Hez is totally into marrying you.
00:17Will you marry me?
00:18Yes!
00:19Yes!
00:20Therese, 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 blend
00:49Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
01:00Should be there for one another
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.
01:16No, you didn't have to take me in.
01:18It's the least I could do.
01:20You'll always have a home here, you know that.
01:22You bet.
01:24Oh, hello you.
01:25Hello.
01:26I come bearing gifts.
01:28Someone's being spoiled today.
01:30Oh, it's nothing too exciting.
01:31But I did splash out a bit at the supermarket.
01:33Oh, I'll say.
01:34French brie.
01:36Truffle oil.
01:37This is top-shelf stuff.
01:39Oh, goodness me, darling.
01:41I would never spend this much on groceries.
01:43There's a shelf.
01:44Honestly, Holly, you can't spend your wages on stuff like this.
01:48Oh, no, it's my treat.
01:49Anyway, I've got to get going.
01:51Apparently, Mac and Haz have some exciting news.
01:53But enjoy the truffle oil.
01:54OK.
01:55Bye.
01:56See you.
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.
02:09Chocotes, strawberries.
02:10These 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...
02:31..we 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!
02:57Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
02:58It's OK.
02:59Yeah, fine, fine.
03:01You 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!
03:35Ah, there you are.
03:36Hey, what's up?
03:37Oh, no, nothing, nothing serious.
03:38Uh, no, I've just got to get back to the florist ASAP.
03:41What, the hotel florist?
03:42Yeah, yeah, well, it's just they've had a really big cancellation.
03:45They've got heaps of stock going for peanuts.
03:47They offered it to me, obviously, but you can't really use them.
03:50I thought maybe you could use them at the vineyard.
03:52It's a nice sort, but we just had our flower delivery yesterday.
03:55Oh, OK, all right.
03:56Um, how's Therese doing?
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?
04:04Well, worst ways of coping, yeah?
04:06Mm-hm.
04:13Ah!
04:14What?
04:15How's the fallout from that embezzlement mess?
04:17Oh, that's a fiasco.
04:18At least Tess is cooperating.
04:20Probably trying to wrangle herself a lighter sentence.
04:22Yeah, probably.
04:23At 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.
04:33No way to trace that?
04:35Uh, no, he liquidated a lot of it to cash.
04:38At least our fraud insurance will cover it.
04:41Best outcome for everybody.
04:43Except for Tess.
04:44And Heath, obviously.
04:47Oh, uh, sorry, I'll...
04:49Oh, sorry, that was really insensitive, I didn't think.
04:51Oh, no, it's OK.
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.
05:05Careful.
05:06Careful.
05:12Picture this.
05:13Regal Gardens of Versailles.
05:16I 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?
05:24Yeah, 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.
05:34Merci.
05:35Sounded like a proper local.
05:37OK, so that was my new firm.
05:40And, 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.
05:51OK, so why does it look like there's a catch?
05:54They want me to start in two weeks.
05:56Whoa, hey, whoa, that's like...
05:58That's pretty soon.
06:00We can help you find new housemates.
06:02No, don't be silly. You'll have enough to worry about.
06:04And we'll pitch in as much as we can.
06:06Yeah, 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.
06:22OK, OK, stop. That's enough of that.
06:24OK, this is no time to be freaking out.
06:26It's time for celebrating!
06:28Yeah!
06:30Yeah, yeah.
06:32Today, we forget about logistics
06:34and we party!
06:36Yeah!
06:40OK, well, unless there's anything else,
06:42I think we're done.
06:44Mm-hm.
06:46Sorry, sir, I've just been checking my notes.
06:48I've only been assigned one action item.
06:52Checking the community centre
06:54for the all-ages yoga?
06:56Is that a problem?
06:58That's just... Well, it'll take all half an hour.
07:00I'd like to do more.
07:02Yep, so would I.
07:04You've assigned nearly every item this week to yourself.
07:06We all want to pull our weight.
07:08Well, it's only because I'm across all the tasks.
07:10It's just easier if I take care of them.
07:14Would you rather take it easy for a while
07:16after everything that's been happening?
07:20OK, everybody, please,
07:22just drop the pitting looks.
07:24I know I've got a lot on at the moment,
07:26but I promise I'm not about to collapse and heave.
07:30Hold on.
07:32Meeting adjourned?
07:34Therese Willis?
07:36Yes, that's me.
07:38I'm Ruth from Waddle and Wisteria.
07:40Where would you like the delivery?
07:42Oh, I'm sorry, what delivery?
07:44I've got 30 bouquets of flowers in the truck for you.
07:4630?
07:48Yeah, Paul Robinson said that he was going to text you.
07:56They were practically free
07:58and they'll be composted if we don't give them a home.
08:00Consider them a gift from Lassiter's, he says.
08:04Very generous.
08:06Don't suppose Paul's got an agenda, do you?
08:10Please, come through with me.
08:12They'll look lovely in the common areas.
08:14No sense in letting them go to waste.
08:24Oh, Harold!
08:26Hey! I've been meaning to catch up with you.
08:28Oh, have you?
08:30Yeah, 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?
08:38The thing is, Gerrit,
08:40I'd rather run off my feet today.
08:42There's so much happening here at Erine Rising
08:44and I'm just a residential rep, I...
08:46Yeah, sure.
08:48Maybe some other time then?
09:00Like the last one out, so...
09:02Yeah.
09:04Oh, really?
09:06Oh, hi!
09:08We were just talking about you.
09:12We're just now realising how much there is to organise.
09:14Yeah, moving halfway across the world,
09:16it's a pretty big deal.
09:18Yeah, especially when you've got two weeks to do it.
09:20I need to sell Harold's, like, ASAP.
09:22Two weeks? Is that even long enough to get the sale in motion?
09:24Probably not, but I've got to try.
09:28There might be something else you could do.
09:30You could stay on as owner and hire a manager.
09:32Yeah, these days it's not that hard to work on things remotely, right?
09:34It's true, but
09:36I really need the money from the sale
09:38to set me up in France.
09:42How about this?
09:44If you don't sell it in time, I'll step in on your behalf.
09:48Yeah, 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
10:00I could intro you to.
10:02You guys are the best.
10:04Honestly, thank you. Thank you so much.
10:06Hey.
10:08Oh, hey.
10:10Sorry for just dropping in.
10:12You'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.
10:20I just wanted to see you
10:22about the flowers.
10:24Don't read too much into that, though.
10:26We genuinely didn't have a use for them,
10:28nor did Leo.
10:30So I thought it'd be a good solution.
10:32Oh, it was. Thank you.
10:34Some of the residents are already saying
10:36how much they've brightened up the common areas.
10:38Oh, that's good to hear.
10:40I hope you nabbed a few for your own office.
10:42I may have.
10:44Let me guess, the blue irises?
10:46The blue irises.
10:48Anyway,
10:50I better get cracking.
10:52I'm glad you were able to put them to good use.
10:54So,
10:56I just spoke to a business broker
10:58that Leo recommended.
11:00She's going to get in touch soon to get the sale in motion.
11:02You won't be running Harold's anymore.
11:04Yeah, I know, but it's what I wanted.
11:06It's just happening a lot sooner than I expected.
11:08Okay, so we've bookmarked a few options.
11:10I sent them to work on a wedding venue shortlist.
11:12You know, you don't have to get married as soon as you plan.
11:14I know, but we still have to plan and book.
11:16Ooh, that's a good idea.
11:18I've got to get back to work.
11:20I've got to get back to work.
11:22But we still have to plan and book.
11:24Ooh, this one is stunning.
11:26Yeah, stunningly expensive.
11:28Well, maybe we can change the date to when flats cheap.
11:30When are flats to Europe ever cheap?
11:32I've been looking at hotels too and...
11:34Is that for the whole stay?
11:36Nope.
11:38Per night?
11:40Yep.
11:42No, we can't ask people to fork out that much
11:44any time of year.
11:46Well, it doesn't have to be a hotel.
11:48We 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.
11:52And 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.
12:06Yeah.
12:08Yeah, you're right.
12:10Okay, so what's plan B?
12:12Carol!
12:14Hi, again.
12:16Um...
12:18Hey, look, I felt a bit weird
12:20after our chat before.
12:22Uh, Jared, I really must keep on my move.
12:24Please don't pop me off.
12:26You're one of my dearest friends.
12:28I hate to...
12:30I hate to think that you don't want to talk to me.
12:34Yeah, we really do have this catch-up
12:36going on,
12:38but I'm not sure if we can make it work.
12:40We really do have this catch-up,
12:42as you suggested.
12:44I know you won't like what I have to say.
12:50Just say it.
12:52All right.
12:56Before your marriage
12:58to Therese,
13:02you looked me in the eye
13:04and you promised me
13:06that you were ready.
13:08You made vows to Therese
13:10that you would love and cherish her
13:14as much as she deserved.
13:18Yeah.
13:20I failed.
13:22Oh, you certainly did.
13:24You failed Therese,
13:26your children,
13:28not to mention
13:30the people
13:32who supported you
13:34and loved you.
13:36I've seen you overcome
13:38so much,
13:40grow and thrive
13:42despite the hardships.
13:48And
13:50I've always been
13:52proud of you.
13:54But I can't say I'm proud of you
13:56now.
13:58Not anymore.
14:00No.
14:06No.
14:12Oh, Therese,
14:14we were coming to find you.
14:16Oh, is there a problem?
14:18Carl and I drew up a detailed plan
14:20for the Intergenerational Fitness Program.
14:22Ah, yes.
14:24And all the files have disappeared from the shared drive.
14:26Yes, well, I archived those files.
14:28Oh.
14:30Why would you do that?
14:32Look, I decided that the program needed a bit of a rethink.
14:34So I took the box instead of the usual
14:36cookie-cutter classes.
14:38Oh, well, I know that
14:40it's simple, but that's why
14:42Jane's event was such a success.
14:44Look how Jasmine and Eleanor bonded.
14:46Yes, yes, Eleanor's made real progress with her help.
14:48Yeah, yeah, I know.
14:50I just still want to change it up.
14:52Mm-hm.
14:54Okay, yeah, well, we can revisit
14:56the plans, but we're
14:58supposed to be collaborating, so maybe
15:00if you're going to pivot like that, you could
15:02Oh.
15:04Yes, I'm sorry, of course.
15:06I should have told you.
15:08No harm done.
15:16I wanted to talk to you about Harold's cafe.
15:18How's it selling the business?
15:20Well, he asked me
15:22for some business advice recently.
15:24I didn't think it involved moving on, though.
15:26Mm-hm, it's all happening very quickly.
15:28He and Mac are engaged, and they're moving to Paris
15:30in two weeks.
15:32Mackenzie got a great opportunity over there.
15:34Hang on, two weeks? Yeah.
15:36Well, that's barely enough time to get the place ready for market.
15:38A little insecure a buyer.
15:40Which is why I've agreed to
15:42take over the process and keep the business
15:44turning over until the sale's settled.
15:46Why would you agree to that?
15:48Oh, I offered.
15:50It's my wedding gift to them.
15:52Christy, you've just stepped up into a senior role here.
15:54I really do not think that you should be taking on
15:56Hazard's problems. Come on, Dad.
15:58I'm sure she can handle it.
16:00Helping out with Harold's won't interfere with my new role here.
16:02Yeah, you know what? That's easy to say.
16:04Until you spread yourself too thin, and then you find you can't back out.
16:06No, I won't be doing that.
16:10As you just said, I've stepped up at the hotel.
16:12We're on equal footing.
16:14So,
16:16you can't veto my decisions.
16:20I'm helping Haz, and that's final.
16:22Is there anything else?
16:24Nope, I suppose not.
16:34Hey.
16:36Are you sure that you're okay with this?
16:38I am.
16:40It's the best solution.
16:42Yeah, but our wedding shouldn't just be
16:44a 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,
17:00and the rest of our lives.
17:02It's going to be perfect.
17:06Okay.
17:08Should we tell them? Yeah.
17:10Okay, so,
17:12we have another announcement to make.
17:14Yeah, we don't want you to go broke
17:16just to come to our wedding.
17:18You don't have to change your plans just because of me.
17:20Yeah, we can find a way to make it work.
17:22Well, you won't have to, because we're
17:24going to get married right here.
17:26In the place that we met and fell in love.
17:28What could be more perfect?
17:30Are you sure? Yeah, 100%.
17:32The only thing is,
17:34we are going to have to organise it all
17:36within a fortnight.
17:38So, we're going to need all your help, because it's going to be insane.
17:40Well, we can do insane.
17:42We're great with insane. Yep, whatever you need, we're in.
17:44Yeah, let's make this happen.
17:46Woo!
17:48Yay!
17:50Thanks for agreeing to meet in person.
17:52I just thought that it would be easier.
17:54Of course.
17:56I mean, it's the best way to sort out practicalities.
17:58Yeah, yeah, true. True, true.
18:00Um, now,
18:02I have always said that I want you
18:04in the kids' lives. You know, that hasn't changed.
18:06Well, I
18:08appreciate it. And I'm still
18:10working through the plan that we discussed, but
18:12in the meantime, I'm happy to have the kids
18:14live with me for as long as they like.
18:16Good. Good, yeah. Um, so,
18:18I was just thinking about, like, the day-to-day
18:20life, you know, like, taking the kids
18:22to school, picking them up, school
18:24lunches. I should probably be
18:26doing all that. No, no need.
18:28Makes sense that I do it. I mean, they are living
18:30under my roof. Yeah, but I mean, it's not
18:32really fair, though, is it, to you?
18:34I'm their dad, and you've got
18:36a lot on. I said it's fine.
18:40Uh, Therese,
18:42I know it's
18:44not a lot of my place to say anything, but
18:46I'm worried that you're taking too much on.
18:48It's not a healthy way to cope, and sooner
18:50or later, something is going to give.
18:52You're right. It isn't your place
18:54to say anything.
18:56I'll be in touch with the kids.
19:08I feel kind of bad about
19:10freaking out over the cost of the Paris trip.
19:12Mack and Haz are
19:14as happy as pigs in mud. I wouldn't worry about it.
19:16Still, it's embarrassing
19:18when nice things come up, and I have to
19:20be like, no, sorry, too broke.
19:22I need to start
19:24thinking about getting serious.
19:26Serious about what?
19:28You know, life. I can't keep babysitting
19:30forever. I need a real job.
19:32But you're still studying. Yeah, but I'll be
19:34finishing up soon. You know,
19:36I have to start adulting at some point.
19:38You know, and some real coin.
19:42I mean, it's a nice thought.
19:44Being
19:46so comfortable that you never have to worry about
19:48money.
19:50Like,
19:52imagine being able to fly the whole crew
19:54to Paris for the wedding. How awesome
19:56would that be?
19:58You're not planning something crazy
20:00here, are you? Like, hitching
20:02yourself another Heath? No, god no.
20:04Good.
20:06Oh, let me know when you win the lottery.
20:08In the meantime, first thing tomorrow,
20:10I'll be updating my resumes.
20:16I am so pleased that I
20:18bumped into you. I've been meaning to
20:20invite you up to my new digs.
20:22Oh, I would love that.
20:24Oh, it must be wonderful having your own
20:26space. Oh, it is.
20:28And just in time.
20:30Because Carl and Susan's spare room
20:32is hot property right now.
20:36Have you spoken to Toad?
20:38Yes, I have.
20:40I'm afraid I wasn't much comfort there.
20:44Melanie, he's caused so much
20:46pain.
20:48To Therese, his children,
20:50even to himself.
20:52And I think that it was all so
20:54avoidable.
20:56He wasn't aware, Harold.
20:58If he could have figured it
21:00all out without causing any heartbreak,
21:02I'm sure he would have.
21:04That's a very gracious attitude.
21:08What happened to us in the
21:10outback,
21:12it changed something in him.
21:14If he came home
21:16and ignored his issues,
21:18he would have been making it worse.
21:20And he knows that.
21:22So he's facing up to himself.
21:24And in my opinion, that's actually
21:26quite brave.
21:28Jared?
21:36Don't be a stranger.
21:38Please?
21:42Yeah.
21:44Yeah, why not?
21:58Oh.
22:14Placidus Staff, anyone here?
22:28Come on.
22:52Coming up on Neighbours.
22:54It's okay to be nervous, you know.
22:56I'll be disciplined the way I deserve.
22:58But you don't deserve.
23:00Yeah, these came for you.
23:02Thanks.
23:04You've been doing quite a bit of online shopping lately.
23:06Is everything okay?
