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!
00:20Theresa, 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.
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect blend
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
01:00Should be there for one another
01:08A relaxing weekend getaway to the Highlands.
01:11Hot 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.
01:25Hello.
01:26I come bearing gifts.
01:28Someone's being spoiled today.
01:29Oh, it's nothing too exciting, but I did splash out a bit at the supermarket.
01:32Well, I'll say.
01:34French brie, truffle oil.
01:37This is top shelf stuff.
01:39Goodness me, darling.
01:41I would never spend this much on rosaries.
01:43Where's the shelf?
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.
01:55See 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, chocolate, 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?
02:31We 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.
02:44You know, whatever.
02:45We're getting married.
02:48Oh, my God!
02:49Oh, my gosh!
02:51Oh, no!
02:52You too!
02:53Get out of the way!
02:56Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
02:58It's okay, it's okay.
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!
03:16Talk about a fairy tale!
03:17It's happily ever after!
03:34Ah, there you are.
03:35Hey, what's up?
03:36Oh, no, nothing, nothing serious.
03:38No, I've just got to get back to the florist ASAP.
03:40What, the hotel florist?
03:42Yeah, yeah, well, it's just they've had a really big cancellation
03:44and they've got heaps of stock going for peanuts.
03:46So they offered it to me, obviously, but you can't really use them.
03:49I thought maybe you could use them at the vineyard.
03:51It's a nice sort, but we just had our flower delivery yesterday.
03:54Oh, okay, all right.
03:55Um, how's Therese doing?
03:57I mean, I'm keeping my distance, as promised.
03:59But if I know her, she's going to be working around the clock
04:02to keep her mind off things, eh?
04:03Well, the worst ways of coping, yeah?
04:05Mm-hm.
04:07Hey, can I help?
04:09Ah, what?
04:11So how's the fallout from that embezzlement mess?
04:13Oh, that's a fiasco.
04:15At least Tess is cooperating.
04:17Probably trying to wrangle herself a lighter sentence.
04:19Yeah, probably.
04:20At least most of the money that she stole from Syncast will be returned.
04:24Ah, most of it?
04:26Yeah.
04:27Heath managed to burn through a lot of it before he died.
04:30No, just no way to trace that.
04:33Uh, no, he liquidated a lot of it to cash.
04:36At least our fraud insurance will cover it.
04:38Best outcome for everybody.
04:40Except for Tess.
04:42And Heath, obviously.
04:44Oh, uh, sorry, I'll...
04:46Oh, sorry, that was really insensitive, I didn't think.
04:49Oh, no, it's okay.
04:50Be as flippant as you like around me.
04:53Honestly, I'm moving forward.
04:55Especially today when there's so much happy news to celebrate.
04:59Exactly.
05:00Onwards and upwards, eh?
05:01Yep, sounds good.
05:03Careful.
05:09Picture this.
05:11Regal Gardens of Versailles.
05:13I think the Palace of Versailles might be slightly out of our price range.
05:17So I'm guessing Paris is a bit of a curveball for your career plans?
05:21Yeah, kind of, but it does give me a very clean slate.
05:24Really looking forward to coming on board.
05:27Really looking forward to coming on board.
05:30Talk soon.
05:31Merci, à bientôt.
05:33Oh, hey, sounding like a proper local.
05:37Okay, 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.
05:51Okay, so why does it look like there's a catch?
05:54They want me to start in two weeks.
05:56Hey, that's, like, that's pretty soon.
06:00We can help you find new housemates.
06:02No, don't be silly. You'll have enough to worry about.
06:05And 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 and talk to IT recruiters.
06:17Yeah, I need to do a full handover with Toadie
06:19and I don't know if my passport's up to date.
06:21I don't even know where my passport is.
06:23Okay, okay, stop. That's enough of that.
06:25Okay, this is no time to be freaking out.
06:27It's time for celebrating!
06:29Yeah!
06:30We are here today.
06:32We forget about logistics and we party!
06:36Cheers!
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, no, it's just, well, it'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.
07:13Wouldn't 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 and heave.
07:30All right.
07:31Meeting adjourned, then.
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.
07:51Oh.
07:55Apparently they were practically free
07:58and there'll be compost if we don't give them a home.
08:00Consider them a gift from Lassiter's, he says.
08:03Very generous.
08:05Don'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.
08:21Oh, Harold, hey.
08:24I didn't mean to catch up with you.
08:26Oh, hey.
08:27Yeah, things have been a bit hectic lately.
08:29Yes, I can well imagine.
08:31Of course, yeah, I mean, you know,
08:33maybe we could have a cup of tea and a chinwag.
08:36The thing is, Gerrit, I'd rather run off my feet today.
08:38There's so much happening here at Erine Rising
08:41and me as the residential rep, I...
08:43Sure.
08:45Maybe some other time, then?
08:47Like the last one out, so...
08:49Yeah.
08:50Oh, really?
08:51Yeah.
08:52Oh, hi.
08:53Hey.
08:54Hey, we were just talking about you.
08:56Congrats.
08:58Yeah, it really hasn't sunk in yet,
09:00but we're just now realising how much there is to organise.
09:03Yeah, moving halfway across the world, it's a pretty big deal.
09:05Yeah, it's a big deal.
09:06It's a big deal.
09:07It's a big deal.
09:08It's a big deal.
09:09It's a big deal.
09:10It's a big deal.
09:11It's a big deal.
09:12It's a big deal.
09:13It's a big deal.
09:14It's a big deal.
09:15It's a big deal.
09:16It's a big deal.
09:17It'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?
09:23Is that even long enough to get the sale in motion?
09:25Probably 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?
09:35It's true, but I really need the money from the sale
09:38to set me up in France.
09:42How 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.
10:02You guys are the best.
10:03Honestly, thank you.
10:05Thank you so much.
10:09Hey.
10:10Oh, hey.
10:11Sorry for just dropping in.
10:13You'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 and work.
10:21I just wanted to see you about the flowers.
10:23Ah, well, 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'd be a good solution.
10:31Oh, it was.
10:33Some of the residents are already saying
10:35how much they've brightened up the common areas.
10:37Oh, that's good to hear.
10:39I hope you nabbed a few for your own office.
10:43I may have.
10:44Let me guess, the blue irises?
10:45The blue irises.
10:49Anyway, I'd better get cracking.
10:51I'm glad you're able to put them to good use.
11:02So I just spoke to a business broker that Leo recommended.
11:05She's going to get in touch soon to get the sale in motion.
11:08You won't be running Harold's anymore.
11:10Yeah, I know, but it's what I wanted.
11:12It's just happening a lot sooner than I expected.
11:14OK, so we've bookmarked a few options.
11:17I sent them to work on a wedding venue shortlist.
11:19You 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.
11:27Well, maybe we can change the date to when flights are cheap.
11:30When are flights to Europe ever cheap?
11:31I've been looking at hotels too and...
11:34Is that for the whole stay?
11:35Nope.
11:36Per night?
11:37Yep.
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.
12:03We don't need to be in Paris to have the best day of our lives.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah, you're right.
12:08OK, so what's plan B?
12:18Carol.
12:19Hi, again.
12:23Hey, look, I felt a bit weird after our chat before.
12:27Jared, 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,
12:59you looked me in the eye and you promised me that you were ready.
13:05You made vows to Therese that you would love and cherish her
13:11as much as she deserved.
13:15Yeah.
13:17I failed.
13:19Oh, you certainly did.
13:22You failed Therese, your children,
13:27your children, not to mention the people
13:32who supported you and loved you.
13:37I've seen you overcome so much,
13:41grow and thrive despite the hardships.
13:49And I'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, we were coming to find you.
14:14Oh, is there a problem?
14:15Uh, well...
14:16Carl and I have to wrap a detailed plan
14:18for the intergenerational fitness program.
14:20Ah, yes.
14:21And 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, yes, Eleanor's made real progress with her help.
14:47Yeah, yeah, I know.
14:49I just... I just still want to change it up.
14:52OK, 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.
15:05I should have told you.
15:06Fine.
15:07No harm done.
15:08OK.
15:15I wanted to talk to you about Harold's Cafe.
15:18Haz is selling the business.
15:20Oh, 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.
15:45Why would you agree to that?
15:47Oh, I offered.
15:48It's my wedding gift to him.
15:50Chrissie, 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, Chris has proven she can handle it.
15:58Helping out with Harold's won't interfere with my new role here.
16:01Yeah, you know what, that's easy to say,
16:03until you spread yourself too thin and then you find you can't back out.
16:06No, I won't be doing that.
16:08As you just said, I've stepped up at the hotel.
16:11We're on equal footing.
16:13So you can't veto my decisions.
16:18I'm helping Haz, and that's final.
16:25Is there anything else?
16:27Nope, I suppose not.
16:37Hey, are you sure that you're OK with this?
16:40I am.
16:42I am. It's the best solution.
16:44Yeah, but our wedding shouldn't just be a solution to a problem.
16:48It's got to make you 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.
17:03It's going to be perfect.
17:06OK.
17:07Shall we tell them?
17:08Yeah.
17:10OK, 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.
17:20Yeah, we can find a way to make it work.
17:22You 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!
17:49Thanks 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.
18:00Now, look, I have always said that I want you in the kids' lives.
18:05You know, 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.
18:20You know, like, 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?
18:32To you.
18:34You know, I'm their dad, and you've got a lot on.
18:36I said it's fine.
18:41Uh, Therese.
18:43I know it's no longer my place to say anything, but I'm worried that you're taking too much on.
18:48It's not a healthy way to cope, and sooner or later, something is going to give.
18:52You're right.
18:53It isn't your place to say anything.
18:57I'll be in touch with the kids.
19:05I feel kind of bad about freaking out over the cost of the Paris trip.
19:13Mac 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, too broke.
19:23I need to start thinking about getting serious.
19:25Serious about what?
19:27You know, life.
19:29I can't keep babysitting forever.
19:31I need a real job.
19:32But 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, and some real coin.
19:43I mean, it's a nice thought, being so comfortable that you never have to worry about money.
19:50Like, imagine being able to fly the whole crew to Paris for the wedding.
19:55How awesome would that be?
19:58You're not planning something crazy here, are you?
20:01Like, hitching yourself another heath?
20:03No, god no.
20:04Good.
20:06Well, let me know when you win the lottery.
20:08In the meantime, first thing tomorrow, I'll be updating my resumes.
20:15I am so pleased that I bumped into you.
20:18I've been meaning to invite you up to my new digs.
20:21Oh, I would love that.
20:23Oh, it must be wonderful having your own space.
20:26Oh, it is.
20:28And just in time.
20:29Because Carl and Susan's spare room is hot property right now.
20:35Have you spoken to Toad?
20:37Yes, I have.
20:40I'm afraid I wasn't much comfort, though.
20:44Melanie, he's caused so much pain.
20:47To Therese, his children.
20:50Even to himself.
20:52And I think it was all so avoidable.
20:55He wasn't aware, Harold.
20:58If he could have figured it all 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 Outback, it changed something in him.
21:15If he came home and ignored his issues,
21:18he would have been making it worse, and 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. Yeah, why not?
21:55Don't be a stranger.
22:14Lassiter staff, anyone here?
22:24Come on.
22:25Come on.
22:52Coming up on Neighbours...
22:54It's a disciplinary hearing and I'll be disciplined the way I deserve.
22:57But you don't deserve.
22:59Yeah, these came for you.
23:01Thanks.
23:02You've been doing quite a bit of online shopping lately.
23:05Is everything OK?
