00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Can you watch Islay?
00:03Yeah, sure.
00:04Let me legally adopt Islay.
00:06If there's a way to make things worse, then you'll always find it.
00:08I've said yes to everything that you want, but you're still going to punish me.
00:12Would you rather attend a fashion show or a male review?
00:15How is that even a question?
00:17Come on, you've got to take part in it.
00:18Oh, no!
00:22Therese, I will always love you.
00:24You really don't need me complicating things.
00:30Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours.
00:38With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend.
00:48Neighbours should be there for one another.
00:56That's when good neighbours become good friends.
01:26Neighbours should be there for one another.
01:36Neighbours should be there for one another.
01:46They're alright thinking about us. Allow me to cry.
01:58They're thinking about us.
02:05Hey, the Wi-Fi isn't working and I have a work call.
02:09Are you guys having issues?
02:10Is it about the internet?
02:11Yeah, the Wi-Fi's out. I'll give them a call now.
02:14No, no point.
02:15They'll just tell you we're doing scheduled maintenance.
02:17How do you know that?
02:19Byron got a notification the other night and I said I'd let you know.
02:22Ah, it's only temporary.
02:24Anyway, I've got this to run. Later, skaters.
02:28Excuse me, Isla honey.
02:30It's time to get dressed now, please.
02:32Off you go. Off you go.
02:39When were you planning on telling me?
02:42Oh, I did. I left you a note. Look, it's here.
02:48Can't you hotspot off your phone?
02:50My phone doesn't have the bandwidth to support a long conference call.
02:54Okay, well it's just a day off grid.
02:57Maybe next time you could let me know in advance rather than leaving random post-it notes.
03:02Sorry, I didn't think the timing would affect you. You never work from home.
03:06Ah, the tradies are fine-tuning the lights in mine and Paul's office
03:09and I thought I'd make the most of it and get some chores done.
03:13Now I'm going to have to go find some Wi-Fi and hope that I'm not embarrassingly late.
03:17Hey, I'm not going to head into work for a bit, so how about I do your laundry?
03:22Consider it an apology for the miscommunication.
03:24That would be a big help. Thanks.
03:37Oh.
03:53Morning.
03:54Oh, Jane. I thought you were heading into work for a meeting.
03:59Yeah, I'll head in a bit later, but I wanted to check in with you first
04:03because after you left yesterday, it struck me that you might have been looking for some company.
04:10I guess I might have been.
04:14I imagine the house feels quite empty after it being so full for so long.
04:20No, no. I've been so busy with work, I'm glad to have a moment's peace.
04:27Well, can I tempt you in a coffee? I was about to pop over to Harold's.
04:29Oh, no, I've just made a pot. Please join me.
04:32All right, lovely.
04:35So tell me, what was your idea for the cooking project?
04:37Oh, OK. Well, I'm glad you asked.
04:39Fantastic. And thank you all again for your patience. I will see you next week.
04:44OK, have a good day. Bye.
04:55Are you psychic?
04:56No, no. Good ears.
05:00Are you OK?
05:01Me? Yeah, I'm fine.
05:04The office stands for personal leave whenever you need it.
05:06Christa, thank you, but trust me, I prefer to stay busy.
05:15Excuse me. Sorry. Oh, it's been a hectic morning.
05:18I apologise.
05:19On top of everything, Rhys wants me to finalise the sale for Warrawee.
05:22Hasn't it sold yet?
05:25And here I was just thinking I could focus on the mail review.
05:28Well, I can help. With the mail review, that is.
05:30I never want to see Warrawee again in my life.
05:32No, of course. I would love your help.
05:34You know that I am no stranger to a boylesque.
05:37Oh, I do now.
05:38Boylesque. That sounds much saucier than a mail review.
05:42You are hired.
05:44Hey, Aaron, say hello to our new entertainment consultant for our boylesque.
05:49Welcome aboard.
05:50I'm just a little bit excited.
05:52OK. OK, team, we need to lock down the scope of events.
05:55So, run times, we need to organise a theme for the night.
05:58No, what we really need are performers,
05:59because the longer I have to train these guys,
06:01the better the whole show's going to be.
06:03Excellent point.
06:15So, it's early days, but boylesque is back on track.
06:18I've secured the council permits
06:20and the creative team are bubbling with new ideas.
06:22The creative team, how great.
06:24I've already secured our first two performers.
06:27What, really? Some of Ez's crew?
06:29Yeah, I'll let you know when we have a few more bites.
06:33In the meantime, I was thinking that we should discuss the hotel's collaboration.
06:36Yeah, you know what, have you ever taken into consideration the hotel's reputation?
06:40Because boylesque doesn't exactly sound like a family-friendly event, does it?
06:44Well, it's not a family-friendly event.
06:46And it won't be built that way, much like our popular wine tastings.
06:50Oh, now, hey, they have a very clear market.
06:5225 to 45-year-old women are our fastest-growing clientele.
06:56If that's the case, why are you concentrating on a one-off event?
06:59Because one-off events are a great way to test new ideas.
07:03Plus, all of the sales for the tickets and the money that's raised will go to charity,
07:07which means it's tax-deductible.
07:09Or is that going to be an issue as well?
07:12Look, boylesque will be a success, Paul, with or without your help.
07:17I'll see you for dinner.
07:22Do you have to turn every conversation with her into a cage fight?
07:25Oh, relax, Leo.
07:27Come on, little friendly sparrings.
07:29It's good for business.
07:34Here you go, Paul.
07:35No, I'm sorry, I can't take either today.
07:37No, I have a planning meeting with Lana to get to.
07:40We're implementing a new cooking program.
07:42Planning meeting with Lana to get to.
07:44We're implementing a new cooking program between Irene and the school for our home-ex students.
07:50Mum, you're always free during the holidays.
07:53Go over there and read, sweetie.
07:54Go over there on the couch and you can read.
07:56Show me how that you're working.
07:57Isla can go into daycare.
07:59Mum, it's the holidays.
08:00They never have spots during this time.
08:01That's why I always rely on you.
08:03Mum, please.
08:05I have a huge day.
08:06I'm trialing dessert toasties.
08:07I have a new staff member I'm training up.
08:10You knew that you'd be under more pressure once you took on the managing role.
08:14You just have to be more organized.
08:16Mum, please.
08:17I really need your help.
08:19Surely this meeting can't be that important, can it?
08:22No, Nicolette, stop.
08:23No.
08:24I'm not your personal babysitter.
08:27You just have to plan your time better.
08:29Now that you and Aaron are both working.
08:31Fine.
08:32I'll figure something else out.
08:40Byron!
08:43Ladies.
08:44You are beaming today.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Did you start a new skincare routine or get a new haircut?
08:49There's something.
08:50Oh, have you been working out?
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:53He's been working out.
08:54All right.
08:55Creepy, touching, compliments.
08:57What did you want?
08:58Well, we were just wondering if you'd like to help us raise funds
09:01for the Aaronsborough Police Youth Outreach Program.
09:03OK.
09:04Not creepy.
09:05Um, sure.
09:06What's the catch?
09:07Oh, there's no catch.
09:08We just want you to be one of our sexy, boy-less performers.
09:10Yeah.
09:11Really?
09:12Yeah.
09:13Really?
09:14Yeah!
09:15No!
09:16What?
09:17Why?
09:18Look, I get it because of my risky past that you probably think
09:20that I'm a fucking banjo.
09:21No, no, that's not what we're thinking at all.
09:22No, we are just looking for attractive men with a good sense of fun.
09:25Yeah, and you get to work with Aaron and it's for a really good cause.
09:28Mm-hm.
09:29OK, ladies, stop.
09:30I get great cause and I'm happy to help.
09:32Brilliant!
09:33Where I can.
09:34OK?
09:35Clothes?
09:36Stay on.
09:37Oh, brilliant.
09:41All right.
09:43OK, Isla.
09:45Oh, today is going to be so much fun.
09:49You've got no idea.
09:51Look, I even found this tiny little apron.
09:54Should we actually put it on?
09:55It matches Mummy's.
09:56OK.
09:57Here we go.
09:58Here we go.
10:00We are going to cook some yummy food and we are going to train
10:04our ever so, so green staff member.
10:08Right.
10:09That looks amazing.
10:10Are you ready to help Mummy?
10:12Yeah.
10:13Yeah?
10:14OK, well, I thought maybe you could fold these for me very neatly.
10:19Don't worry, Mummy.
10:21I'll help you.
10:22OK.
10:25Hey, how can I help you?
10:30I'm so glad you were free because I don't have to be back for a whole half hour.
10:33Oh, half an hour.
10:34The luxury.
10:36Hey, I was thinking, we could go off family holiday.
10:39We haven't been in a while.
10:41That's true.
10:42And we've got New York up our sleeve.
10:43We're not lying.
10:44I know.
11:05Oh, sorry.
11:06Sorry.
11:07Trace?
11:08Hey.
11:09Do you mind if I?
11:10Yeah, go on.
11:11Do your thing.
11:22Byron, I'm so glad you could join us for our planning meeting.
11:25And hear our revised proposal.
11:27Well, like I said before, happy to help within reason.
11:30So, what can I do for you?
11:32Legals?
11:33Ticketing?
11:34Yeah.
11:38Byron Stone.
11:39We would like your help with the entertainment.
11:42Not this again.
11:43Oh, you can do it, Byron.
11:44Come on.
11:45Come on.
11:46Let's go, Byron.
11:47I believe in you, Byron.
11:49One, two, three, four.
11:52OK.
11:53Face into the sky.
11:54A little boom.
11:55And then we drop it.
11:57Spin, and then choose a pose.
12:00All right.
12:02Spin.
12:03Oh!
12:04Woo!
12:05Woo!
12:06Woo!
12:08Ah!
12:09Thank you, but no.
12:11Oh!
12:12Byron, get him.
12:13Come on.
12:14Do the thing.
12:15Do the thing.
12:20Too much?
12:21Oh!
12:22Oh, I have never felt so desperate to donate in all of my life.
12:27Where is my wallet?
12:28See?
12:29Dancing's not so bad once you get over yourself, right?
12:34OK, sure.
12:35I'm in.
12:37I get to wear a mask.
12:38OK, we're happy to work with Costume on that.
12:48Can I come in?
12:49Yeah, come in.
12:58Hi.
12:59Hi.
13:01I, um...
13:03Yeah, I think I just, um, let the whole drama of the waterhole get to me.
13:08You were only in hospital a few days ago,
13:11and you're dealing with enormous change at home.
13:15Speaking mum to mum?
13:18I imagine you expected to be the heart of the home for a long time to come.
13:24Having that pulled away from you is a lot to process.
13:28I mean, that house is just... is nothing.
13:32But memories now, and I just...
13:34I lay awake there, night after night...
13:40..trying to figure out how I let it all just slip through my fingers.
13:47I'm so sorry, Therese.
13:51I'm so sorry.
13:53I'm so sorry.
13:54I'm so sorry, Therese.
13:58The person that I really want to turn to is...
14:01..is the one person that I really should be avoiding.
14:07Paul.
14:10I mean, I don't know Paul well, but...
14:13If your gut's telling you to stay away, it's probably right.
14:25Hi! Hello!
14:27Oh, happy to be done for the day?
14:30Yeah, it'll be nice to switch off for a bit.
14:32Oh, lucky you.
14:35Um, hey, actually, did you want to take Isla for the afternoon?
14:39You mean pick her up from Jane?
14:41Oh, well, I'm swamped, and like you said,
14:44I know how important it is for us to make the right choices for her.
14:48Nick, I mean, make the right choices,
14:50Nick, I mean, make the right choices,
14:52as in keeping ourselves out of danger.
14:54Not so that you can guilt me into changing
14:56the child-minding arrangements any time you want.
14:58Oh, that's not what I meant.
15:00I'm going to see an old mate soon, and he's only in town for one night,
15:03so are you telling me that I have to now cancel that
15:05because you are overcommitted?
15:06No! No, of course not.
15:08I just thought you would...
15:10If you want to spend a bit more time with your daughter, that's all.
15:14A little more notice next time would be nice.
15:16Sure. Hey, hey, you have a good night, OK?
15:19OK.
15:24All right, Mr Tanaka.
15:26Let me get changed into some clean clothes, and I'll see you in 15.
15:29OK. Bye.
15:34Seriously?
15:44KNOCK AT DOOR
15:50You're right, it's at four.
16:04Oh, you are home.
16:06Yeah, sorry, I was out the back.
16:10Chef's chicken pesto salad.
16:12I ordered one for lunch, and I know how much you like it.
16:15Oh. And the dressing is on the side.
16:18That's very thoughtful, thank you.
16:20It's nothing.
16:22Guess I just wanted to see if there was anything you needed.
16:25Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm fine, yeah.
16:29I've got a lot on at work, so I've got enough to distract myself.
16:33Oh, yeah. Work can be very useful that way.
16:37Oh, I suppose I'd better go.
16:39Wait. Paul.
16:42Please, stay.
16:44OK.
16:58Hi. Hey.
16:59Thanks for coming to get me. And sorry that I look like this.
17:02You look great. What's going on? Is it work stuff?
17:04No, it's Nicolette. She promised she'd handle it, and she didn't.
17:07So I had to run into the bottom of my wardrobe to find this,
17:10and then hang that out before it got ruined.
17:12Well, sounds like it's going well.
17:14You know that the woman puts her empty cartons back in the fridge?
17:17And she didn't tell me that the Internet was going to go out this morning.
17:20She leaves a big mess around the house, and then she promises to help out,
17:23and then doesn't!
17:24Well, maybe it's time for a house meeting.
17:26Might be time for me to move out.
17:28It's not that bad, is it?
17:29It is. And, look, I can appreciate that Nic's a working mum,
17:33but we're just on completely different wavelengths on almost everything.
17:36And I can't take it anymore, OK? I need to find a new place like yesterday.
17:40You want...
17:42You want to move out? Why?
17:44Byron, I love this place, OK?
17:46But since Haz and Mac moved out,
17:48I just feel like I'm being outnumbered by the Stone family,
17:50especially the new one that's been driving me loopy.
17:52No offence.
17:53Oh, come on. You don't mean that.
17:56Well, share housing doesn't really suit your current stage of life, right?
18:00Yeah. That's what it is, really.
18:03Look, if it's about Nic, I can talk to her, I can deal with her.
18:05But you and me, we're old school.
18:07Come on, number 32, the blondes, right?
18:10Look, yes, we get along.
18:12And you were really there for me when I needed you.
18:15And I appreciate that.
18:16Just, um, I just don't think it's for me anymore.
18:21Sorry.
18:27Sadie, are you sure?
18:29It'll only be for a couple of hours.
18:32OK, bye.
18:34Got your hands full today.
18:35Ah, yes. Tell me about it.
18:39What, you're not happy with the turnover?
18:41Ah, don't get me wrong. Normally I would be thrilled.
18:44But today...
18:46Oh, baby, what happened? You OK?
18:51Hey, what happened?
18:53We're just helping you.
18:55Nic.
18:58Oh, God. OK.
19:01Hey, it's going to be OK.
19:03OK, baby? You're going to be OK.
19:09OK.
19:16Thank you so much. I just really needed that.
19:19Ah, it's my pleasure.
19:21So, how are you sleeping, then?
19:23Oh, couch.
19:26What about you, after the siege?
19:29Yeah, I guess that's keeping me up at night as well.
19:32But I am glad it's over.
19:35Listen, you look exhausted.
19:37How about I make you a coffee, eh?
19:39Is everything the same?
19:41Yeah, everything's exactly the same.
19:48Actually, you know what?
19:50I think a herbal tea is probably a better choice at this time of day.
19:54I've got chamomile or lemongrass, it looks like.
19:57What do you want?
20:04Trace?
20:34Come on.
20:43Coming up on Neighbours.
20:45We're really lucky that nobody was hurt.
20:47It was less about luck and more about Felix.
20:49He's a real hero.
20:50I was just doing my bit. No big deal.
20:52He willingly walked into danger for us.
20:54That's a very big deal.
20:56I want to make this work.
20:57We're just going to end up in court and even worse, hating each other.
