00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I want to move the kids to Colo.
00:04People do long distance all the time. We can do that, can't we?
00:07She said she'll be happy if she never sees you again.
00:10The halfway house I'm staying at has a furniture collection program.
00:14What are you doing here?
00:15Well, I was thinking of picking up the furniture tomorrow.
00:17Yeah, JJ's not on shift.
00:19He's up to something.
00:20The car that you bought was $50,000.
00:23A car like that would require a huge loan.
00:26I'm not going to ask you to bail me out if that's what you're so concerned about.
00:31Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect blend
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours become good friends
01:26There's a quick drive.
01:33If you've got time, we're prepping for Toadie's party and appreciate the help.
01:41Hello, Earth to Holly. You okay?
01:45I'm fine.
01:47Car drives like a dream. Best decision that I ever made.
01:50Okay, I think I know what's going on here.
01:54I think you've done the maths and realised you can't afford this car.
01:58When you're ready, I can help you brainstorm some options.
02:11Hey, what are you two up to?
02:13When was the last time you cleaned this thing? When I had an undercut?
02:15He's never liked doing it.
02:17They're self-cleaning.
02:19Aren't they?
02:20Don't you worry, mate. I'll get her nice and shiny.
02:23Well, at least the garden looks nice.
02:25Yeah.
02:26Glad you finally listened to me and cleared up all that half-broken rubbish that was lying around.
02:30Ah, yes. On that, the trestle table. I took it out of the garage and the legs are busted.
02:35Well, we can't have a farewell party without a trestle table.
02:38I know.
02:40I'll text Jane, see if she's got one.
02:42Oh, actually, on that, do you reckon we might be able to just skip the farewell fest?
02:47What do you mean?
02:48I'm only going to Coal Lake.
02:51Toadie, you're leaving Aaronsborough.
02:54Exactly. Yes. I'm not dying.
02:56So I'd be pretty happy with coffee and a cake, really.
02:58Well, we wouldn't. You're a member of this family and you're leaving us.
03:02It's the end of an era.
03:03And it's not just about you.
03:05We all need to close this chapter.
03:09Beginnings and endings.
03:11Yes. They're important.
03:15Okey-dokey. Russell up a trestle table and I'll clean up.
03:19We're having a party.
03:30Hey, do you reckon you're free for a chat?
03:37You are getting good at this.
03:39I heard it, but Hugo's taught me a few moves.
03:42He's got more game than me.
03:44Hey, thanks for coming to visit me.
03:45Where else would I be?
03:47With JJ.
03:50I haven't seen him later today.
03:52He's taking me out on a surprise date.
03:55Oh.
03:58So, do you think you'll be able to make long distance work?
04:04It's a tough one to talk about.
04:07Yeah, well, I'm sure it'll come up organically.
04:10The only thing you have to worry about is enjoying your date.
04:12Life is for living, OK?
04:17Do you know when you're going to get discharged yet?
04:20Um, I think it's tomorrow.
04:23So you could potentially come to our goodbye party?
04:29I'm sorry, Nell.
04:32Seeing your dad is still too hard.
04:35I'm sure you understand that.
04:39Yeah, I mean, dad's doing what's right for him.
04:43You should be able to do the same.
04:47Don't feel bad, I mean, of course I'll miss you, but I get it.
04:52No I's beyond your years, Nell Rebecca.
04:59So, what have you got planned for the big last date?
05:02Um, I'm not sure.
05:04At least I've got the day off work to plan something nice.
05:07Do you want some Ma wisdom?
05:09Please, yeah.
05:11Keep it simple.
05:13One of my favourite dates with your mum is she picked me up after work.
05:17We drove to a pretty spot, sat in the back of the ute and had a bite to eat.
05:24Is that it?
05:25Mm-hmm.
05:26Yeah, well when you like someone you just want to spend time with them.
05:31Thanks. Um, I'll go get the order.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Sure.
05:43Mum.
05:53Only me.
05:55Toto better come out.
05:57Where is he?
06:00Hol?
06:04What did the guy that kidnapped you look like?
06:06Oh, so we're going there before we've even said hello to each other?
06:10I've just been thinking a lot about Heath lately and it reminded me that they never caught his muscle, did they?
06:18His name's Justin.
06:20And you're right, the police never found him.
06:24Why do you want to know what he looks like?
06:26Just painting a picture in my head.
06:29Well, from what I remember, he was tall and beefy.
06:35Beefy.
06:40Heath's gone.
06:42He can't hurt you again.
06:44And Justin was only here because of him.
06:51If for some reason he were to come out of the woodwork, do you think that he's a dangerous person?
06:58He kidnapped Toto and I, so yeah, he's scary.
07:02He's scary.
07:04We begged him to let us go and he wouldn't.
07:08I do remember at one point, though, waking up and hearing him on the phone.
07:13He was telling someone how to do something, but he sounded caring.
07:19I think he might have been talking to his son.
07:24Creep by night, family man by day.
07:25Family man by day?
07:30Toto's in the backyard.
07:33Thanks, Mel.
07:44I just got here with the mulch, is it okay for me to leave it in the courtyard?
07:47Cool, thanks Harold.
07:49JJ.
07:52I'm just getting some furniture.
07:53I told your mum we were coming, she said you wouldn't be here.
07:57Yeah, I was just helping out Harold.
08:00Sorry for us bringing this on you.
08:02We'll be quick.
08:04It's okay, I was just leaving.
08:09I just wanted to say a proper goodbye.
08:13And let you know that I'm going to make sure that the kids stay in touch.
08:16Believe me, so am I, but it's nice to hear you say it.
08:23You deserve all the good things, Mel.
08:25And I really hope you get them.
08:29I've been thinking the same thing myself, actually.
08:32In fact, you could say that I am actively looking for them.
08:39Are you dating?
08:41Online?
08:42There's one guy that I am messaging.
08:46Good for you.
08:48It's just a bit of fun.
08:50I'm not unpacking the tiger print quite yet.
08:59You know, we're not failures because it didn't work out with us.
09:06We're just people.
09:08We're just people.
09:13Forgiving myself has been my way through.
09:20You need to find a way to forgive yourself.
09:26What if I can't?
09:29Then let me do it for you.
09:31I forgive you, Tony Rebecca, for being human and all the things that go along with that.
09:40And I hope one day you will believe those words too.
10:01I love you.
10:25Grace, what is it?
10:27How did Tony and I get here?
10:33I just, I don't understand.
10:46What exactly did Felix say to you?
10:49Nothing really. It was just weird. He was equally surprised to see me.
10:52He did ask my permission. We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to be upset.
10:57And I didn't think you were on shift.
10:59Yeah, Harold asked me to go drop off some gardening supplies for Rinny.
11:02One minute I was dumping mulch and the next minute I was staring at Felix.
11:06You okay?
11:08I decided not to see Felix when he was in hospital because it didn't feel right and, you know, it just still doesn't.
11:14I'm sorry, buddy.
11:16Me too.
11:18Just forget about Felix, okay? It's not worth it.
11:22Why don't you go have a nice arvo with your girl?
11:33Katrina, all I'm asking is if you ever saw Heath's security guy at the hotel.
11:38Maybe by the lockers?
11:42Okay. That's okay. Thanks anyway.
11:46No, I'm not going to cover your Saturday shift. You weren't even helpful.
11:52You're welcome.
11:55This is my favourite spot in Aronsborough.
11:58I know.
12:00Hey, I got us some of these as well.
12:04My favourite non-nutritious food groups.
12:07Plus, if we do not document it with pictures then legally it happens. Here's this one.
12:15This is perfect. Exactly what I felt like doing.
12:19I'm glad.
12:22I can't believe you pulled it all together after seeing Felix.
12:25No, I did all this before I ran into him.
12:28You want to talk about it?
12:30Not really. I just want to hang out with the coolest girl I know.
12:39You know, um, you won't be able to do this anymore after tomorrow.
12:44You alright?
12:48Yeah. I mean, I don't really want to think about that right now.
12:55Hey, look, I know we said we'd do long distance.
13:05But can we really?
13:07Jojo.
13:11Should we just end this now?
13:17You couldn't have walked in at a worse time.
13:20No, I'm glad I came in when I did.
13:26He's leaving almost to the day of our anniversary.
13:31And we were supposed to have a big party.
13:33I thought Tony was going to be here forever but we didn't even make a year.
13:38He says he hasn't properly processed his grief.
13:44Well, how fun for me to be the one to help him see that.
13:50For all my troubles, I'm going through my third divorce.
13:56I feel used.
13:58I feel used.
14:03I'm not okay, Susan.
14:06I am aching all over and it's not just from the car accident.
14:13Tony has hurt me so deeply that I don't want to see him ever again.
14:28Are you ready to show your pros and cons?
14:34Mm-hmm.
14:36Should I go first?
14:39Okay, yeah, reasons why we shouldn't end this.
14:43You're awesome.
14:45Obviously.
14:47You like B-grade wrestling movies and you draw some of the most beautiful pictures.
14:51Plus, if I got jumped by a dodgy pervert, you could body slam the heck out of them.
14:56So you want to stay with me so I can be your bodyguard?
15:00Maybe.
15:02My biggest thing is that you don't judge me.
15:05You still like me even though I can make a lot of dumb choices sometimes.
15:10Your turn.
15:15You're sweet and funny.
15:18You're sweet and funny and protective.
15:24Not just of me.
15:27But you look out for Dex and Harold and your mums.
15:33Makes me like you even more.
15:36Um, I only have one con on my list and it's distance.
15:42We can try and visit each other as much as possible.
15:45I mean, Colac isn't that far.
15:48So we're still going to do this?
15:52I guess you're stuck with me.
15:56Let's mark this.
15:58Try and look cool.
16:00Okay, ready?
16:08Beautiful.
16:11Let's do another one. Ready?
16:12Ready.
16:15Oh, um, Carl and Susan are throwing me and the kids a little farewell bash tomorrow.
16:20You should come because we would love you to be there.
16:22That sounds very nice. I might even bring my date.
16:25Not!
16:29I wish Therese was as easy to talk to as what you are.
16:32She won't even see me.
16:35Anyway, I'm going to see you tomorrow.
16:37You sure will.
16:43See you, Hol.
17:08I thought you'd be further along with this, Toad.
17:10Well, I would be if you weren't such a broad.
17:13Oh, how could you?
17:15Um, hey Dad.
17:17Um, where did you put that bag of potting mix?
17:20Oh, you mean the half full one?
17:22Yeah, the one that's been there for ages.
17:24Annoyingly, it got mixed up with all the rubbish that Susan made me throw out.
17:33Hey!
17:35Have you just come from your date with JJ?
17:39Aw, I take it it went well then?
17:42Um, yeah, I did momentarily freak out though that he was having second thoughts about doing long distance.
17:49But it's all sorted now.
17:51Oh, thank goodness for that.
17:54So, tomorrow's the big day.
17:58You are coming to our goodbye party, right?
18:01Of course I am. I have to soak up every last second I can with you kids.
18:07You didn't think I'd miss it.
18:10No, I was just checking.
18:13Um, Therese isn't up for it and I get why.
18:19Just, um, leaving town without her there feels wrong.
18:31So what time does the party start tomorrow?
18:33No idea, but I will definitely be there.
18:36Mel and JJ had their farewell date today.
18:40Oh, did they? I was so happy when they got together.
18:43First love is so special.
18:45Yeah, the only thing better is meeting your soul mate.
18:54Have you spoken to JJ?
18:56Yeah, I have. He told us what happened at Irini.
19:00I'm so sorry. The last thing I want to do is upset him.
19:03Look, JJ was shocked to see you. He wasn't expecting it.
19:07But he's okay.
19:09And we know it wasn't your fault. He wasn't supposed to be at work.
19:14No one's blaming you.
19:17Thank you for saying that.
19:24Dad said he got rid of some of the stuff from the greenhouse,
19:27but I just checked the bins and there's nothing in there.
19:29No, he put it out for hard rubbish, love.
19:30Oh, so it's out the front?
19:32No, no, no. He saw someone a few streets over putting out a collection,
19:35so he just added it to that.
19:37Hey.
19:39Which street did you dump the hard rubbish?
19:41Oh, it's in Ogavew Street.
19:43Stop there now. I drove up Ogavew coming back from the hospital. It's all gone.
19:46Council must have picked it up already.
19:48Here you go.
20:01Holly? Everything alright?
20:06You know what, you guys were right. I should have never bought that car.
20:09Exactly. What are you going to do about it?
20:12Sell it. As soon as possible.
20:14Good.
20:21Felix was really apologetic about JJ.
20:24There's definitely something different about him this time.
20:26Well, he somehow arranged for JJ to be there.
20:31I can't seriously believe that.
20:34Well, I can't put it past him either.
20:39And how would he have arranged that?
20:41What, he's secretly in cahoots with Harold?
20:43Maybe he tricked him.
20:45Or it was just bad luck.
20:48Right, so Felix just happens to offer to raise help at the place where JJ works,
20:52and then he just happens to be there when JJ is.
20:55Yeah.
20:57No, I don't buy it.
21:00Do you think you may be being a bit paranoid?
21:03Absolutely. Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
21:12I hope I'm not intruding, but I bought you a very fast.
21:18It's full of antiques.
21:19That's really kind of you, ma'am.
21:23Look, can I be honest?
21:26Why are you here?
21:30I think you should come to Toadie's farewell party.
21:34I'm not going.
21:36Well, just think about it for a moment.
21:40Closing the chapter with Toadie was really cathartic for me.
21:44It might be for the best.
21:45Closing the chapter with Toadie was really cathartic for me.
21:48It might be for you too.
21:50Look, Melanie, your situation is very different to mine.
21:55And just to be clear, you have no idea what is going to help me to move on.
22:01How are you going to let Toadie go if you don't say goodbye?
22:06Come to the party.
22:08Not just for Toadie, but for you.
22:11And for Nell and Hugo too.
22:15I love you.
