00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02Abe.
00:03Car versus tree at speed.
00:04It's the same type of accident.
00:05He did it on purpose.
00:06The op was a success.
00:07Abe's in recovery.
00:08Why don't we go out for dinner tonight?
00:10It's been a long day.
00:11Because of Abe?
00:12The knock-ons of someone doing something like that.
00:14You mean he should have thought about my theatre schedule before he decided to tell himself?
00:17Let's just leave it.
00:18It's not okay!
00:19Harper, how could you not get something like this?
00:21I care about you, Cassie.
00:23You're my family.
00:24I want to make things right between us.
00:26Who's Jimmy?
00:27A friend of yours?
00:28There is a Jimmy in shoulders.
00:31My grief group.
00:32He's just emailed me.
00:33Why does it say that you kissed a doctor?
00:35Tell me it wasn't true.
00:42Why?
00:43I don't know.
00:44I wish that I could explain.
00:47Try.
00:50Well, we have history.
00:51You know that.
00:52And so when we were...
00:54So what?
00:55I can't trust you not to cheat.
00:56No, I'm sorry.
00:57Okay?
00:58I was stressed out and he was a mess.
01:00We kissed for like two seconds.
01:02We regretted it immediately, okay?
01:04It meant nothing.
01:06It was just a stupid mistake on a bad day.
01:10Okay.
01:12So...
01:14Why didn't you tell me?
01:16Because I was sh...
01:18And just...
01:19Disgusted.
01:20You can't hold your so-called online friends, Nick.
01:23Jesus!
01:24And not just about Drew.
01:26Nick!
01:27Those vicious things you said about me and Cassie.
01:29Okay.
01:30I'm sorry.
01:31That is on me.
01:32Okay?
01:33But I was just really low and I felt ganged up on
01:36and I just needed to vent.
01:38Yes, ganged up on by me and Cassie.
01:40Well, just everyone.
01:42I was in a bad headspace.
01:44It didn't mean anything.
01:47I love you, Maeve.
01:50I just...
01:52I mean, how are we supposed to have trust in this house?
01:56Well, Cassie doesn't trust me.
01:59And she looks at me like she hates me.
02:01I wonder why.
02:03No.
02:04Please.
02:05Hey.
02:06Don't.
02:07Don't, Nick.
02:08I'm so sorry.
02:10I'm so sorry.
02:12It's just...
02:13It's a mess.
02:15I betrayed you.
02:17And I...
02:19It won't happen again.
02:22But it's not just us you betrayed, is it?
02:27Does it happen now?
02:31Please don't.
02:32She has a right to know, Nick.
02:34Their marriage is already so rocky.
02:37No, it...
02:39It would just make things so much worse.
02:41If we could just deal with this by ourselves
02:44and just leave them out of it.
02:46Drew feels awful.
02:47He's so upset.
02:48And so damn well should be.
02:50He's been running around throwing accusations out about Harper
02:53and now he does...
02:54Yeah.
02:55He does this.
02:56Yeah, he's spinning out.
02:57He's spinning out, okay?
02:59And telling Harper we just hurt her
03:02and make things worse.
03:05Please.
03:06Please, just...
03:09Just don't do it.
03:17Please.
03:28Stage, you are on fire.
03:30Oh, thanks, babe.
03:32Oh, literal fire.
03:34Hello, you.
03:36It's all going here, I see.
03:38I hope you're hungry.
03:39Probably was until he walked in here.
03:41Hey, you need to concentrate on writing those names
03:43and work in order and...
03:45What is that?
03:47What is it?
03:48Uh, what was it?
03:49R.I.P.?
03:50Uh, it's Sarge's one-point special.
03:52Use the rest of my chart.
03:53Yeah, I hope that's okay.
03:54It'll blow your head off.
03:55How do you spell Joaquin?
03:56Oh, my God, Billy.
03:57You can't keep telling me your names.
03:59Naz, are you going to play celebrity?
04:01It's baby's first game.
04:03Oh, yeah.
04:05I'm pretty tired.
04:06I probably won't be much fun.
04:07You'll probably be better than me, man.
04:08It's like charades, but with words,
04:10which sounds pretty dumb.
04:11Hey, let's...
04:13I think it's exactly what you need.
04:14Just unwind me a bit.
04:15All right, guys.
04:16Move your plates.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:18Move all this paper and crap.
04:19But we haven't finished.
04:20Straight into the game after dinner, okay?
04:22Naz, sit down.
04:23Take a seat.
04:24Don't be shy.
04:25Get in there.
04:26All right, and we're going to have
04:27our highlights and lowlights of the day.
04:29Sorry?
04:30Mm.
04:31Uh, you can have the most
04:32because I used the rest of your pickle stock.
04:34And you can start.
04:35Why don't you go first, okay?
04:36What's your lowlight of the day?
04:44Drew.
04:46Busy schedule today?
04:48Same old, same old.
04:50Nothing challenging or interesting?
04:53Depends what you send us from E.D.
04:56Maybe we need to challenge ourselves a bit more.
04:59How do you mean?
05:00Well, I mean, when was the last time
05:01we tried something new?
05:02We got takeout from that South American place.
05:04I mean, like, you know, like, a sport
05:06or learning something together.
05:08And you know,
05:09it's not like we're going to go out
05:10to a sport or learning something together.
05:13As in take up skydiving together
05:15to spice up a marriage?
05:16Well, that's an extreme example.
05:18And I don't think we need to spice it up.
05:21We'll just...
05:22Get it off life support?
05:24No, don't.
05:25Don't what?
05:26I know it's really hard to be positive sometimes,
05:28but I am trying.
05:29Sorry, I know you are.
05:31It's not easy for me either,
05:32all of these reminders of Owen.
05:34And what I want, more than anything,
05:36is just for us to be okay.
05:39Sorry.
05:40Sorry, coming through.
05:48Drew.
05:56Coffee?
05:58Breakfast?
05:59Can you just back off and give me some space?
06:01Okay.
06:03But, hey, when can we talk?
06:06Don't you think you've said enough?
06:10Oh.
06:11You're up early.
06:13Morning.
06:14Must have been a late one last night.
06:16What makes you say that?
06:17The mess.
06:18Oh, no.
06:19All good.
06:20Oh, my God.
06:21Well done, Gordon Ramsay.
06:23That was so good.
06:27You can choose the game tonight.
06:29Tonight?
06:30No, sorry, I can't.
06:31Hey, I'm late, Sheriff.
06:33Oh, I'm going to...
06:35I'm going to...
06:38Oh, I'm going to miss you.
06:40Morning, all.
06:42I'd better get going.
06:43Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:45Take this.
06:46Might be a few bitty bits, but it should be all good.
06:48Oh.
06:49No, seriously, it's way too spicy for me anyway.
06:53Thanks, H.
07:07He's awake now?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Has he said anything?
07:11No, he hasn't said a word to anyone.
07:13That'd be right.
07:15Abe's been through a lot of trauma,
07:17but he's recovering well.
07:19He'll be visited by Psych once he's medically cleared.
07:21Maybe he'll communicate more then.
07:23Maybe.
07:24Or maybe he'll get behind the wheel again,
07:26aim for another tree.
07:28You're sure it wasn't an accident, aren't you?
07:31Finlay.
07:34Finlay.
07:35Eva.
07:36Have you just been visiting him?
07:38Only got this far. He's not talking, apparently.
07:40Maybe it's too soon.
07:42Give him some time to get his head around things.
07:44You think so?
07:45Definitely.
07:46Has he got family support?
07:48They've been notified.
07:49And the Psych team?
07:50Yes, they're nearby.
07:51Then you've done everything you can.
07:53Maybe leave it for a bit.
07:55Come back later, yeah?
07:56Sure.
08:07What are you doing?
08:09I'm trying to get a hold of Finlay.
08:11He's not answering.
08:13He's not answering.
08:15He's not answering.
08:17He's not answering.
08:19He's not answering.
08:21He's not answering.
08:23He's not answering.
08:25He's not answering.
08:27He's not answering.
08:29He's not answering.
08:31He's not answering.
08:33He's not answering.
08:35He's not answering.
08:37He's not answering.
08:39He's not answering.
08:44He's not answering.
08:47Oh, f**k.
08:51Cool. So just sign there.
08:54How's the new living setup?
08:56Oh, great.
08:57Is everyone happy?
08:58So happy.
08:59The happiest little home there is.
09:01That's awesome. I'm stoked for you guys.
09:02Yeah, I wasn't sure how Nars would go with the whole
09:04flooding situation, but I think he's into it.
09:06Well, with you guys, what's not to love?
09:08Exactly. Here he is.
09:10Ah, I hear the new set-up's going well.
09:12So far, so good.
09:14Well, I will be thinking of you both
09:16while I'm slaving away on my own in Peet's tonight.
09:18On your own?
09:20This man has a much-deserved night off.
09:22So go, celebrate, you two.
09:24What is going on, and please do not lie to me.
09:26I was planning on going back to my place tonight.
09:28What do you mean, your place?
09:31My old place, the apartment.
09:33The place you moved out of?
09:35Yes.
09:37So how are you going to do that?
09:39I'm technically still renting it.
09:41Okay, so you have moved in with me,
09:43but you were keeping your place, what, just in case?
09:45Yes.
09:47No, no, I don't mean it like that.
09:49Cool, all good.
09:51You get back to me when you get your story straight, yeah?
09:57You're very quiet.
10:00He's concentrating.
10:02And get Abe off your mind?
10:04Nope.
10:06He's alive.
10:08And if you're right
10:10that it was two attempts?
10:12Well, what else could it be?
10:14Worst luck in the world.
10:16Then he's got guardian angels looking over him.
10:18And you're one of them, Billy.
10:20No, not me.
10:22I've done nothing but let him down.
10:24You really haven't.
10:26You've exposed years of abuse
10:29and helped lots of people.
10:31Not just the victims, but their families.
10:33Everyone.
10:35Yeah, maybe some, but...
10:37not Abe.
10:41I stirred up stuff he just wanted to forget.
10:43And how many others like him?
10:47Billy, no.
10:53I'm okay.
10:55I'm okay.
10:58You don't need to see me like this.
11:00Yes, I do.
11:02You never have to hide your feelings from me.
11:04We're friends.
11:08Does Phil know how deeply this is affecting you?
11:10She wants to be there for me.
11:12Yeah, I can see that.
11:14She really cares about you.
11:16She loves you.
11:20It's just easier with you.
11:22Letting it out.
11:24You know it all anyway.
11:27I know how hard it was to tell me.
11:29But you got over that obstacle.
11:31And every other one.
11:33Yeah, I don't feel very over anything right now.
11:37Hey, I just think you need to release this pent up emotion.
11:39So you can be there for your friend.
11:41You think?
11:43Yeah.
11:45Abe needs you.
11:47Someone who really understands.
11:49So go and find him.
11:51Let him know you care.
11:54Simon Tunney?
11:56Yes.
11:58Hi, I'm Drew.
12:00One of the surgeons here.
12:02Now from your scan, I'm guessing you've face-planted on the road.
12:04Yeah.
12:06This is where helmets come in.
12:08He was wearing one.
12:10Okay, great.
12:12We'd be looking at even worse damage.
12:14Now what we have here is what we call a tripod fracture.
12:16Involving your eye socket, your cheekbone and your upper jaw.
12:18You will need surgery to stabilise that.
12:20To help it heal properly and to reduce the pain.
12:23You need to review his pain relief.
12:25How is the pain, Simon, on a scale of 10?
12:27I'll say 7.
12:29Okay.
12:31You've had 8mg of morphine.
12:33I'll chart another 5.
12:35Copy that.
12:37Is there a problem?
12:39No.
12:41One moment, Simon.
12:43Could we?
12:45Let's see.
12:49What's up?
12:51Have I done something?
12:53No.
12:55Why are you giving me the attitude?
12:57I'm not.
12:59So I'm just being paranoid?
13:01It's not my fault if you've got a guilty conscience.
13:03Why would I have a guilty conscience?
13:05I don't know, Drew.
13:07You tell me.
13:09Maeve, can I get you to help in recess, please?
13:11Yeah, happy to.
13:13I'll take over here.
13:15Thanks, Harper.
13:17What's going on?
13:20No idea.
13:30What's up, boss?
13:32It's me, Philly.
13:34Nah, it's cool.
13:36You don't have to talk.
13:38You probably don't even want to see me.
13:40But I'm here.
13:42Yeah, we can just sit.
13:44I don't care.
13:46Watch some games or something.
13:49But if you do want to talk,
13:51just whenever,
13:55you can say anything to me, Uzo.
13:57I get it.
14:03I just want you to know you're not alone.
14:07There's a way through, yeah?
14:10Yeah.
14:16Maeve knows?
14:18She does.
14:20Why the hell did you tell her?
14:22I didn't.
14:24Someone broke my confidence and told her I cheated.
14:26Oh, brilliant.
14:28Wait, was it Monique?
14:30No, why?
14:32She's been giving me funny looks lately,
14:34so she feels sorry for me.
14:36Sorry for you kissing me?
14:39It'll be the last straw, Monique.
14:41We'll be done for.
14:45Philly!
14:47Oh, hey, Maeve.
14:49You look a bit more cheerful.
14:51Yeah, Madonna gave me the push to visit Abe.
14:53That's good.
14:55I kind of just poured it all out.
14:57I mean, she knows a lot of that stuff, obviously.
14:59But I just feel a lot calmer now.
15:03Were you still beating yourself up about it?
15:05Not being able to help him?
15:08Sorry, I don't know if that's okay to ask.
15:10You can ask.
15:12I guess so, yeah.
15:14So what happened?
15:16Abe and I talked a lot.
15:18It was all the same stuff I went through.
15:20It's real hard to get into, but yeah.
15:22He's agreed to see the psych team,
15:24so I'm glad I pushed through.
15:26Yeah, that's really brave.
15:28And that is good that Madonna helped you work that out.
15:30Are you okay?
15:32Yeah, yeah, of course.
15:34I've got to go, but I'll catch up with you later.
15:37I see.
15:53Nick?
15:55I'm here. Humiliated.
15:57I am so sorry.
15:59Then why would you keep that from me?
16:01And why would you move in here
16:03if you don't even want to be here?
16:06I do want to be here.
16:08But what, you thought you'd just keep a second apartment
16:10just in case you get a better offer?
16:12No, no, absolutely not.
16:14Then what is going on?
16:16Because we're way too early in our relationship
16:18for you to be lying and sneaking around behind my back.
16:20Honestly, if a friend told me
16:22that they were in this situation,
16:24I would tell them to run for the hills.
16:26Okay, okay, look, I understand.
16:28It's just sometimes at the end of a long day
16:30I need silence.
16:32And this place, it's fun, it's great,
16:34it's the best part,
16:36but it's not exactly quiet.
16:40Great.
16:42Then there's something else.
16:44What?
16:46You've got a secret family?
16:48No.
16:50I guess I was worried.
16:54Worried about what?
16:56That you're going to get sick of me?
16:58No.
17:00I was scared you'd get tired of me.
17:03Scared?
17:05I don't know.
17:07Isn't that what happens in relationships?
17:09I don't know.
17:11No, I don't go into a relationship
17:13with that assumption.
17:15Look, I saw you freak out this morning.
17:17I just...
17:19It was because of bloomin' dishes.
17:21It kind of was.
17:23Just the whole thing.
17:25I know this is all very new to me,
17:27living with a partner, and I just...
17:29I don't know.
17:32Really?
17:34Yeah.
17:36Yeah, this is the first time
17:38I've ever done anything like this.
17:40Yeah, right.
17:42Look.
17:44Keep the apartment
17:46if that's going to make you feel better, okay?
17:48But just...
17:50If you ever feel like this,
17:52just talk to me about it
17:54because there's a high chance
17:56that I'm feeling like that too.
17:58Yeah.
18:01Yeah?
18:03We're in this together, you know?
18:05Like, give up.
18:07And we can be great.
18:09And if we're not, then...
18:11Then we'll just talk about it.
18:13Hmm?
18:15Yeah.
18:17Mmm.
18:23Sorry if I made you feel
18:25like you were on the outs today.
18:27There's nothing to be sorry for.
18:30Yeah.
18:32Yeah, I'm still trying to impress you,
18:34I suppose.
18:36Kind of wanting to hide all the bad stuff.
18:38The weak stuff.
18:40Have you ever been weak?
18:42Well, I wasn't handling Abe, that's for sure.
18:44That's a lot to navigate.
18:46Yeah.
18:48But...
18:50I do want to open up more.
18:52So we have no secrets
18:54from each other.
18:56Yeah, I'd like that too.
19:00Hang on.
19:02Don't go down there.
19:04Wow.
19:06Someone's been cooking?
19:08Yeah, yeah, Mon whipped up
19:10her signature creamy pasta.
19:12It's really good.
19:14Um, I left you some on the bench.
19:16Thanks.
19:18I have some news.
19:20What?
19:22I gave notice on my apartment.
19:24I'm officially a one-house guy.
19:26Really?
19:29Nice snail commitment.
19:31So do I.
19:33Aw.
19:35Right, you guys, snuggle in.
19:37Should we clean up first?
19:39No, no, no, we'll do it tomorrow.
19:41Oh, well, you guys cooked, I can clean.
19:43Come on, TV time, TV time.
19:45Okay, but what about rats?
19:47Oh, we'll just let them feast.
19:49It'll be fine.
19:51And if you're still stressed afterwards,
19:53then you can stay up all night cleaning.
19:55You're the best.
19:58And then I'm cleaning,
20:00and then you can help me unpack my last box.
20:02You bet.
20:16Can I get you anything?
20:18Uh, my sanity back?
20:20Felt like I was losing my mind today.
20:22Yeah, that's on me.
20:24I'm sorry.
20:27I just, I wanted to tell you that...
20:29No, no, can we not talk about this tonight?
20:31Please, I am exhausted.
20:33Sure.
20:35Exhausted by the lies,
20:37the secrets.
20:39It's all just revolting.
20:43You didn't tell Harper?
20:45No.
20:47No, I did not tell Harper.
20:49I wanted to.
20:51I'm sorry.
20:53Yeah, you said that.
20:57Yeah.
21:05Jesus, Nick.
21:07Just play nice, okay?
21:09If she changes her mind,
21:11we are...
21:13Yeah, I gotta go too.
21:15Bye.
21:17Hey, mate.
21:19Hey, mate.
21:21All good?
21:23Uh, just over it, actually.
21:26Life?
21:28Dude.
21:30It's just...
21:32a lot.
21:34Mate, I didn't realise it had gone so bad.
21:36It hasn't.
21:38I'm fine.
21:40I'm just tired.
21:42You know I'm here for you,
21:44but maybe we need to step it up a notch.
21:46Get a professional on board.
21:48No, mate. All good.
21:50Thank you, though.
21:52Hey, are you joining us for a drink?
21:54No, thank you. I'm just picking up takeaways.
21:56You guys go for it.
21:58Okay. Night.
22:00Sure you can't stay for one drink?
22:02No, no, no. You go ahead.
22:04I'm fine, mate, honestly. I've got muscle count.
22:10And then I have to work with bloody Drew
22:12and try and avoid Harper or Shift
22:14just so I can keep your nasty little secret.
22:16I'm sorry, okay?
22:18What else can I say?
22:20Your lies are turning me into a liar, Nick.
22:23Anything. If it helps Harper, please...
22:25Oh, it's not about Harper and Drew, Nick.
22:27This is about us, okay?
22:29Your refusal to forgive Cassie.
22:31I am forgiving Cassie.
22:33It's a twisted support group putting them ahead of me.
22:35No, that...
22:37Nick, you're white.
22:39That is not true.
22:41I mean, at least they listen to me.
22:43Why won't you listen to me?
22:45For God's sake, stop fighting.
22:47Who's that?
22:49Probably Harper and Drew.
22:52Cassie.
22:54Hi.
