00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I've got a high distinction on my programming assignment.
00:04What you've done is you've helped your mum cheat.
00:06The uni think I cheated on my last assignment.
00:08It's not your fault. This is mine.
00:10I come bearing gifts.
00:12At least most of the money that she stole from Syncast will be returned.
00:15Keith managed to burn through a lot of it before he died.
00:17He liquidated a lot of it to cash.
00:22No, we can't ask people to fork out that much any time of year.
00:25We don't want you to go broke just to come to our wedding.
00:27We're going to get married right here.
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
00:59People have been good friends
01:05Oh, goodness me.
01:07How are you going to organise a wedding and move to Paris in two weeks?
01:11Well, the company's organising all of the flights and accommodation
01:14so we can just focus on the wedding.
01:16Still, it's very quick, isn't it?
01:18I better get started on my celebrant duties.
01:22Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:24You've probably got someone else in mind.
01:27Of course we want you to marry us.
01:29It's part of the reason why we're getting married here.
01:31Also, I happen to know the owner of Harold's.
01:33So the reception is sorted.
01:35And Toadie said that we can have the ceremony at the nursery
01:38before the new tenants arrive.
01:39Oh, big savings.
01:40Why don't I pop round later?
01:41I can talk you through the paperwork that you'll need.
01:43That would be amazing.
01:44So when do you start the job?
01:46Literally the day after we land.
01:48Apparently I'm being thrown in the deep end.
01:50Well, you can handle it.
01:51I can't wait.
01:52I'm going to be going straight into human rights law
01:54which means I'm going to be working closely with the UN.
01:56It's so exciting.
01:57Exciting, terrifying, but, yeah, are we living the dream?
02:01Well, you just make sure you save some time
02:03for the constant stream of visitors.
02:05Oh, yes, yes.
02:06Oh, free accommodation in Paris.
02:09It just occurred to me in Baltimore.
02:15It's OK to be nervous, you know.
02:17No, I'm not.
02:20Your untouched eggs say otherwise.
02:22I'm fine.
02:23It's a disciplinary hearing and I'll be disciplined
02:25the way I deserve.
02:28But you don't deserve.
02:31That's why I wrote you this.
02:36It explains how everything was on me.
02:39I can even come to the hearing if you want.
02:41I absolutely do not want that.
02:44Look, you did the wrong thing but for the right reasons.
02:47Just go and let yourself off the hook, OK?
02:50Here we are.
02:52No JJ this morning?
02:53No, he opted for the school library instead of Sustenance.
02:57Weird, the only time I went to the library
02:59was when I had a crush on the staff.
03:01Good on JJ for turning things around though.
03:04Yeah, it is good.
03:07He's still a bit quiet but at least he's focused.
03:09Yeah, it's been a tough year.
03:10We've just got to keep him on track.
03:13Speaking of, you should make tracks.
03:16Oh, yeah.
03:19Good luck.
03:20Thanks, mate.
03:21Bye, bud.
03:22Have a good day.
03:24You too, Ma. Have a good day, Mum.
03:28Hey, do you want me to drive you to your hearing after your shift?
03:32No, I'm not going.
03:36To work?
03:37I didn't want to say anything while Dex was here but
03:41I'm going to drop out of uni.
03:47OK, now, before you say anything...
03:50Don't.
03:51What's this?
03:52Housewarming gift part two.
03:53Oh, Holly, I didn't even need housewarming gift part one.
03:57Hey, I said not to say anything.
04:00You saved my life.
04:02This is the least I can do.
04:08Oh, my goodness.
04:10There's 50 pieces in here.
04:14You do realise that I live by myself?
04:17I thought you'll never have any guests.
04:18Ooh, they are high end.
04:22How high end?
04:23Does that matter?
04:24Leo was thinking of getting you cutlery for the vineyard
04:26and then he looked at these and he just choked to the price.
04:28They're nice.
04:32Relax, they were on sale.
04:34Oh, that doesn't matter. You shouldn't have.
04:36I should and I did.
04:38Because you deserve it.
04:41Wow.
04:43OK, well, how about this?
04:44I never should have enrolled in the first place.
04:46Don't be ridiculous.
04:47I'm not.
04:48I've never found textbook learning easy.
04:50It just doesn't come naturally to me.
04:52That is not true.
04:54Your first test, you got a distinction.
04:56They were the basic modules.
04:57Anything more complex and I'm completely lost.
05:00Or your confidence has just taken a bit of a hit but it will come back.
05:04No, it's more than that.
05:06Our teenage son doesn't even study the subject and he puts me to shame.
05:10I'll just outsource the technical parts of the job that I obviously suck at.
05:14Kara, I'm sorry, can I just give you my two cents?
05:19The temperature control in this place was an absolute nightmare
05:21until you reprogrammed the air con.
05:23Alright, we haven't had a single false fire alarm
05:26since you fixed the sensor thingamajig on the door.
05:28Yeah, but that's just stuff that you learn on the job.
05:31It's easy.
05:32Yeah, it's easy for you.
05:34See, it's not just me.
05:36Thank you, Aaron.
05:40I was so proud of you when you told me you'd enrolled in that course
05:43because I knew it was out of your comfort zone.
05:45It still is.
05:46Yes, but out of your comfort zone is where you thrive and shine.
05:52Look what you did at your birthday party.
05:54And remember how it made you feel.
05:58Amazing.
06:00Amazing.
06:04Fine.
06:06I'll go to the meeting.
06:08Oh.
06:12You make sure that you start thinking about your vows.
06:14Oh yeah, it's going to be hard to narrow down the superlatives.
06:17Yeah, mission impossible.
06:18Well, you say whatever you want to say, this is your ceremony.
06:22Thank you so much.
06:23Thank you both.
06:24See you in a bit.
06:25Yeah, we'll see you soon.
06:26Alright, bye.
06:27Bye.
06:31What a beautiful pair of humans.
06:33Yeah.
06:34The way Haz was looking at Mackenzie when she was talking about her job.
06:37I know.
06:38I was so proud.
06:39Yeah.
06:40She's come a long way since she first arrived.
06:43You know, she has never shied away from who she is.
06:46No.
06:47She's remarkable.
06:48Yeah.
06:49And she's brave too, given what happened with Henry's.
06:51Yeah.
06:53I was worried for a while that that would hold her back from meeting anybody else.
06:58Well, I suppose Haz isn't anybody else.
07:02No.
07:03They adore each other.
07:04It's lovely to see, isn't it?
07:06Yeah.
07:07Yeah, well, we did make a promise to look out for Mackenzie when Hendricks was passing.
07:13How can we do that from the other side of the wall?
07:16Yeah.
07:18I guess this is part of it.
07:19We do it by letting her go to live her future.
07:24Same as we did with all our kids.
07:26Yeah.
07:28Hmm.
07:31Yep.
07:32No worries.
07:33That's all booked for three o'clock.
07:34Thanks, Mrs Furman.
07:38Morning.
07:39Hey.
07:40All good?
07:41Yep.
07:42I'm just finalising a locker audit.
07:46A locker audit?
07:47Yeah.
07:48I'm working on a system to smooth the transfer of anything left over after check out to the lost property.
07:54That's weird.
07:55There's still a locker assigned to Heath Royce.
07:58Seriously?
08:01Oh, I'm so sorry.
08:03I said his name before I realised.
08:05Are you okay?
08:07Oh, um, yeah.
08:09Yeah.
08:10It's just, it's still a bit weird.
08:13Yeah.
08:15Well, um, we should probably let the police know in case he's left anything behind that they can use against us.
08:21So, in case he's left anything behind that they can use as evidence?
08:24Well, I can do it.
08:26Are you sure?
08:27Yeah.
08:29I mean, I'm across everything that happened.
08:31I'll call Andrew right now.
08:33Uh, okay.
08:34Great.
08:35Thanks.
08:36Um, I've got my uni hearing this afternoon, but I'll still be here for a few more hours, so let me know how you go.
08:41Great.
08:51Uh.
08:57I didn't feel that one, did I?
08:58What?
08:59That one's pretty good.
09:01I mean, I can, uh, hit the sauna.
09:03Yeah, I can.
09:04Hm.
09:07I'm just waiting to happen in that shower first.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Have a good day.
09:21Okay.
09:35Okay, so next on the list is the seating plan for the ceremony.
09:39Should we, like, jumble everyone in together or do separate sides of the bride and groom?
09:43Um, whatever you reckon.
09:46Hm.
09:47Getting cold feet already, are you?
09:49As if.
09:50No, sorry.
09:51I was just looking into travel and quarantine stuff for Trevor.
09:54It's kind of a nightmare.
09:57I also still, I still need to tell my parents in Amira.
10:01What about your brother?
10:02Uh, Mum and Dad can do that.
10:04I have enough on my plate.
10:05Hm.
10:06I don't know what I'm gonna tell my Dad when I call him.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Well, I really don't have time for family politics.
10:12I'm just gonna tell them we're getting married.
10:14Be there or don't be.
10:15It's happening anyway.
10:16Hm.
10:18I guess it's a little harder for me.
10:20Things happen very quickly with Hendricks, too.
10:22Of course, yeah, that's, that's so fair.
10:27You know, we don't have to do it this way.
10:29Like, we could put it off for six months, come back and get married.
10:32Or run away in a lope.
10:35Whatever you want.
10:37No, I want to do it now.
10:38Mm-hmm.
10:39With our friends.
10:40I can't help the reminders of Hendricks, but I can manage.
10:45Hey, how about we get into those family calls together?
10:49Yeah, that would be lovely.
10:51Can't wait to tell everyone.
10:53Hm.
10:56Yeah, Cara found it in the system when she was auditing the lockers.
11:00No, it's definitely in Heath's name.
11:02I'm just letting you know in case he left anything in there.
11:06Great.
11:07I'll leave the master key for you at reception.
11:09Thanks, Andrew.
11:11Hey.
11:12Hey.
11:13I thought you called Andrew earlier about the locker.
11:16I did.
11:17He was unavailable.
11:18That was him calling me back.
11:20What time's your hearing?
11:21Uh, oh, uh, I have to go.
11:23But why is this in the middle of the foyer?
11:25It's a safety hazard.
11:26I'll sort it out.
11:27It's okay, it's on my way out.
11:28No, seriously, I've got it.
11:29You go to your hearing.
11:31Good luck.
11:41Phew.
11:42Alright, so, I spoke to the airline's special handling
11:46and they said that there's no way that Trevor can get to France
11:48without spending at least two days in a pet crate.
11:52Oh, and he failed crate training before you adopted him.
11:55Yeah, and I didn't do anything about it
11:56because I didn't think I'd be moving overseas.
11:59And there's no way around it for anxious animals?
12:01Well, they gave me the number of a trainer
12:03that specialises in getting pets ready for travel.
12:05Oh, well, that's good.
12:07And Trevor's a smart dog and he's way less anxious
12:10than when you first got him.
12:12Yeah, totally, so I'm just going to do some more digging
12:14to see how to organise this.
12:16Don't worry, Trev.
12:17We will get you over there one way or another.
12:24So, to sum it up again, it wasn't cheating.
12:28Or intentional cheating.
12:30My teenage son thought that he was helping
12:32by changing the assignment.
12:33And you had no idea he'd done it?
12:35I never would have submitted if I had.
12:38In saying that, I accept the responsibility
12:41and the consequences, even if that means expulsion.
12:46Thanks, Cara.
12:47We appreciate your honesty.
12:48And we know it can't have been easy on you or your family.
12:52I'm glad I just got the chance to explain.
12:55As you know, this was a serious breach.
12:57But it's not high school and it's very rare
12:59for anyone to be expelled.
13:01Our aim is always to see our students succeed.
13:03So, you won't be given a fail either.
13:06Oh, but...
13:07Well, it's not my work.
13:08No.
13:09Which is why you'll be allowed to resubmit the assignment,
13:12but under exam conditions, fully supervised.
13:19You're clearly very sorry for what happened.
13:21We can all see that.
13:23You have no idea.
13:31I'm sorry.
14:01MUSIC
14:26Ah, I thought I saw you come out here.
14:28These came for you.
14:29Thanks.
14:30Yeah.
14:31You've been doing quite a bit of online shopping lately.
14:35Well, I hope you haven't been going through my browser history, Dad.
14:37Well, of course not.
14:38But I do collect the mail.
14:39And you are avoiding the question.
14:41It was just a couple of things that I got on sale.
14:43I actually got a few bargains.
14:45Like a real Kennedy.
14:46You should be proud of me.
14:48Look, don't spend every cent you earn, though, eh?
14:50Pay yourself first.
14:52Good advice.
14:54Oh, um...
14:55What were you doing in the greenhouse, by the way?
14:58I...
14:59I just thought that I might do the watering.
15:01The watering?
15:02You never do any watering.
15:03Or any outdoor chores.
15:05Maybe it's time that I started.
15:07Well, I'd like that.
15:09And just so you know,
15:10it's best to water in the early evening, though.
15:12Reduces evaporation.
15:13Got it.
15:14Cool.
15:15Actually, you know,
15:16it's almost time to raise the tomato seedlings.
15:18We could do that together.
15:21Sounds good.
15:22Okay.
15:23Yeah.
15:24Good.
15:28How are you feeling?
15:30Oh, honestly?
15:32Still in shock.
15:33Thank you, again.
15:35I was following official procedure.
15:36Nothing more.
15:38If you have a second,
15:39I wanted to ask you about your son.
15:41Dex.
15:42Yeah, look,
15:43he feels terrible about what he did.
15:45And trust me, he knows it was wrong.
15:47Putting that aside,
15:48the solution he came up with
15:50was one of the most complex things
15:52I've ever seen in my life.
15:54The solution he came up with
15:55was one of the most complex submissions
15:57I've ever read.
16:00Complex in a good way.
16:02I don't use the term lightly.
16:04It was genius level.
16:06Leona, I promise you,
16:07it was Dex who did the work.
16:09He actually wrote me a confession letter,
16:10but I didn't bring it
16:11because at the end of the day,
16:12this is on me.
16:13I'm not doubting what you're saying.
16:15My point is,
16:16Dex is genuine talent.
16:19Oh.
16:21I didn't even know that he was interested
16:22in this sort of thing.
16:23Well, it's up to him to decide,
16:24but there are accelerated learning programs
16:27for gifted kids
16:28that he'd be perfect for.
16:31Okay.
16:32I'll talk to my wife.
16:34Good.
16:35Maybe we'll see him here
16:36before he knows it.
16:37Maybe.
16:39Thanks.
16:43Okay, so I have a ready-to-wear
16:46wedding dress company
16:47coming later tomorrow,
16:48so you need to be anywhere but here.
16:51It's okay.
16:52Me and Trevor will just go out for a walk.
16:56Is everything okay?
16:59Um, dogs can't travel
17:01for at least three weeks
17:02until after they've had their rabies shot.
17:07And there are no exceptions?
17:08No, even if there was.
17:09Like, I spoke to the trainer
17:10and he said that it's too short a time
17:12to desensitize them for travel.
17:19Well, maybe...
17:21maybe we leave him here
17:22until we're settled
17:24and we make sure that
17:26the Paris thing is gonna work out.
17:30Yeah.
17:31I just don't want to put him under any stress
17:32if we're just gonna end up back here anyway.
17:34Yeah, yeah.
17:35And the others will love to look after him.
17:37They can get him great training
17:39and then you can always come back
17:41and get him.
17:42Yeah.
17:43Makes sense,
17:44but that doesn't make it any easier
17:46leaving him.
17:48He is so loved here.
17:52I just want to do things properly for him.
18:06Your face is always so unreadable.
18:08Mm.
18:09I would have made a great poker player
18:10in another life.
18:12It went well.
18:14Well, as in...?
18:16As in no punishment.
18:17And I get to resubmit under supervision.
18:19Oh, Kara.
18:20That's amazing.
18:22Yeah, weirdly anticlimactic,
18:24but I'll take it.
18:26And in other more exciting news,
18:28apparently Dex is a coding prodigy.
18:30Really?
18:31Head of department couldn't stop talking
18:33about the solution he gave on my submission.
18:35She said that we should be talking to the school
18:37about advanced learning for him.
18:40Okay, great.
18:41Right.
18:42Oh.
18:47Hang on.
18:49What?
18:51Remy Varga-Murphy.
18:54Oh, yeah, I'll be straight down.
18:56Okay.
18:57Sorry, I've got to go.
18:59There's been some sort of incident,
19:00an emergency slammed.
19:02It's okay.
19:03See you at home.
19:06That's great.
19:08Okay, bye.
19:09Bye.
19:10Thanks for the coffee.
19:19Bye.
19:28Hello.
19:30Holly Dolly.
19:34Hey.
19:35Hey.
19:36Carl told me that you were out here.
19:37I didn't realise you had such a green thumb.
19:39Yeah, I love it.
19:41Like, watching things grow and stuff.
19:43Oh, good for you.
19:45I actually wanted to talk to you about the housewarming presents.
19:51I can't stop thinking about it and it's driving me crazy.
19:54Well, what's there to think about?
19:55It's my way of saying thank you.
19:57And I am really grateful.
19:59I really am.
20:01But it's just so much money, Holly,
20:04and it just doesn't sit right with me.
20:06Seriously, Mel.
20:07It's fine.
20:08No, actually, it's not.
20:10Sale or no sale,
20:12it's way too much.
20:16I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
20:20Nothing can make up for that.
20:24I only did what anyone would have done.
20:29Do you still think about it?
20:33Only every time I close my eyes.
20:37Do you?
20:40I do.
20:43My experience was very different to yours.
20:48I'm getting the support that I need.
20:51I'm talking about it.
20:53Good.
20:54And I am here for you if you ever need to talk as well.
21:00Okay, well, I think that's everything.
21:02I'll lodge the notice of intended marriage as soon as I get home.
21:05And you're sure there won't be a problem with the mandatory waiting period?
21:08No, no, because of Mackenzie's job offer, that'll be waived.
21:11Great. Thanks, Susan.
21:13So, while your new bride is off saving the world,
21:17what are your plans for Paris?
21:18Maybe you could open a French branch of Harold's.
21:21Well, actually, I've reached out to a bunch of IT recruitment firms over there.
21:24Really?
21:25Yeah, I've been completely honest about my past.
21:27I even disclosed what happened with Wade Furnsby.
21:29And, weirdly, they weren't put off.
21:32Apparently big firms are desperate to hire reformed hackers
21:35into their cyber security departments.
21:37Who knew?
21:38Well, I'm just so happy for you both.
21:41Seems like everything's falling into place.
21:44Yeah, it is and it isn't.
21:46We're going to have to leave Trevor here.
21:49But only initially, right?
21:51Yeah.
21:52It won't be forever, buddy.
21:55There was a fight in the gym at Warrinall Prison.
21:57So, mostly blunt or strong injury.
21:59We're still triaging as they are, right?
22:01But that's how it looks.
22:02Now, one prisoner has been stabbed.
22:04He is critically injured.
22:05OK, I'll start there first.
22:06Right.
22:07Talk to her security, make sure the ward's locked down.
22:09Thanks, Tony.
22:11Good afternoon.
22:13Let's see.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:17I'm sorry.
22:18I'm sorry.
22:19I'm sorry.
22:20I'm sorry.
22:21I'm sorry.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:23Let's see what we've got.
22:27OK, sir, you...
22:41Coming up on Neighbours...
22:43Christa's tough.
22:44She can handle a little criticism.
22:45You're going to crush that poor girl's spirit.
22:47And Lasseter's named spirit and you not.
22:50Apparently there's been a brawl at Warrinall.
22:52Felix has been sent to the hospital.
22:54What if the worst happens and JJ doesn't get to say goodbye again?
22:57What, do you really think he could die?
