00:02The person that I really want to turn to
00:04is the one person that I really should be avoiding.
00:06Chef's chicken pesto salad.
00:08Please, stay.
00:12We just want you to be one of our sexy boy-less performers.
00:15Sure, I'm in.
00:16And I'm grateful for devoting your time to them.
00:19No, surely he hasn't pulled out of the Yorokobi deal.
00:22Because now he knows he's not dying, okay, and he needs money for himself.
00:25So is that your mystery man that you were texting?
00:27I'd love to meet up in person when you're free.
00:58No!
01:07Happy housewarming.
01:08Byron, that's really sweet. You didn't have to do that.
01:11I know, it's just more of a sorry about having to move out
01:15because my sister died of a present.
01:17And I'm really going to miss you.
01:20Does that mean that we're all good?
01:22Of course we are.
01:24Help, please. Necklace, bracelet, both.
01:30Byron, you're a straight man. Help.
01:34Bracelets.
01:35Bracelets? Which one?
01:37The gold one, it's pretty.
01:38Okay.
01:39Hey, do you want to stay for coffee?
01:41No, I won't keep you.
01:43There's still places to go, but enjoy.
01:46I will take really good care of it.
01:48Thank you, see ya.
01:50You look beautiful.
01:55Just remember to breathe.
01:56I thought about consulting Madam Salga, but then I thought,
01:59who needs her when I've got my instincts and their screaming positivity?
02:05I hope he's the one. I think he might be.
02:08Yeah, he came all the way from Sydney, so you know he's not messing around.
02:11Well, maybe I shouldn't assume too much. He does have other friends here in Melbourne.
02:15Yeah.
02:17But I invited him and here he is.
02:23Here you go.
02:24Finishing touch.
02:27Go and get your fella.
02:30Good luck.
03:12Alan.
03:13I am so sorry I'm late.
03:15My flight was delayed and my phone died.
03:18Taxi driver took the scenic route.
03:21Sounds like a convenient excuse, I know.
03:23No, I just thought that...
03:26I wasn't going to show up and that's why you're about to leave.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Can I buy you a drink?
03:33Or, you know, blow this to him.
03:37Do something crazy.
03:38I know we get along like a house on fire, but I prefer a familiar territory for a first date.
03:45Absolutely. Up to you.
03:47I'll have to find another way to correct my terrible first impression.
03:52Shall we sit down?
03:53Yeah.
03:58Are you feeling a little better today, Bunny?
04:00It's just tough.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Hey, I've been work-shopping.
04:05Hey, I've been work-shopping a new bit of Corrie.
04:08I really need to catch you up on her.
04:10Hello.
04:12Happy timing.
04:13Hello.
04:16I was wondering if I could run something by you.
04:18Me?
04:19Just about the adoption lawyer.
04:20I thought maybe I could come with you to your appointment.
04:23I thought if you and I are a united front then surely it would smooth out the process.
04:27I mean, yeah, that would be great. Thank you.
04:30Okay. It's a wonderful idea.
04:31The date's in the sheer calendar.
04:33Yeah, I know. I already booked it off work, so I'll be there.
04:38Are you busy at the moment?
04:39I was going to get a coffee.
04:41Would you like some company?
04:43Yeah, I would.
04:47Alright, see ya.
04:48Bye.
04:50I guess I won't be needing one by you, Bunny.
04:52Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey. Not so fast.
04:54We have some serious boy-lesque business. Put that down.
04:58Hello.
05:01Sorry, sorry. I know I'm running late. We're almost ready.
05:03Have you got the address for the sales launch?
05:05Yeah, just look it up.
05:07Oh!
05:08What?
05:12Wait, why is there a pic of Vic Stone on Mel's computer?
05:16This is the guy that she's been talking to. The one that she's about to go on a date with.
05:20Wait, so he's in Ahrensborough?
05:22Yeah, well, he just came in from Sydney, or so he said.
05:26Surely Mel knows who he is.
05:27I don't know. I'll ask her as soon as I tell her to run for the hills.
05:30Alright, well, you have to do it from the car.
05:32Yes.
05:33Because we're late.
05:34Sorry.
05:36So, I must be your first stop in Melbourne.
05:40First, and most fun by a wide margin.
05:44Oh, I'll take that.
05:46Um, I do have another reason for being here.
05:50I told you that I have a bit of a complicated family history.
05:54Same here.
05:55Same here.
05:56I'm not sure I'm ready to share all of that quite yet.
06:00Well, mine has to do with my kids.
06:05I don't really know where to begin with a story.
06:08Well, why don't we leave the emotional baggage outside for another day?
06:14I could use a bit of positivity before I tackle it.
06:17So, how's the business hunt going?
06:21Well, depending on how things go, I could start looking down here.
06:27Closer to the kids.
06:29I love being my own boss.
06:32I would not have it any other way.
06:34Well, until you have to give yourself a stern talking to.
06:39Oh, I'm sorry.
06:40I wasn't planning on hitting you with that.
06:42Oh, I'm sorry.
06:43I wasn't planning on hitting you with that quite so soon.
06:46Why not?
06:47Because it's not the sort of thing you put on your dating profile.
06:50Oh, anyone who doesn't love dancing misery guts.
06:53I'm not kidding.
06:54That's the spice of life.
06:56I knew a guy who was always talking about how funny his wife's laugh was.
06:58Actually, his impression of her was a bit like you.
07:03Well, there's no putting it back in the can now.
07:05Yeah, but lately I've realised life is short.
07:09No time to hide.
07:10I feel the same.
07:12Seize the day.
07:14Cheers.
07:15Cheers.
07:16I've been meaning to text you to apologise for falling asleep on the couch last week.
07:20Oh, no, don't be sorry.
07:21I think you needed the rest more than the tea.
07:25Anyway, I appreciate the gesture.
07:28And as a thanks, are you free for lunch?
07:31My shout?
07:33Yeah, I could probably do that between meetings, yeah.
07:36Okay.
07:37Well, text me when you're free.
07:38Okay.
07:43Bye.
07:49It's almost like you're being nice.
07:52Yes.
07:54And it's lovely to see, I might add.
07:57But she's relying on you now.
08:00Hope you're up for it.
08:13It's very lovely, by the way.
08:16Thank you, a friend helped me choose it.
08:23It'll be about an event that I am helping to organise.
08:28Well, I count myself very lucky to have your attention.
08:31So, about your next chapter.
08:36When I was travelling in my van, I saw this amazing old pub in Gippsland that's for sale.
08:43I've always had this fantasy about running my own pub.
08:46So have I.
08:48You'll have to send me the details.
08:50Consider it done.
08:53How would you feel about extending this easy old date?
08:56I really don't want to be anxious here.
08:58Life's too short.
08:59Seize the day.
09:00I'll get some menus.
09:06Vic?
09:08Dad?
09:10What the hell are you doing here?
09:21You know you're going to lose the audience if you make them wait this...
09:24Enough with the heckling.
09:26I haven't even started yet.
09:28Go on then.
09:29Yeah, come on Byron.
09:30Yeah.
09:31I haven't even started yet.
09:32Go on then.
09:33Yeah, come on Byron.
09:34Wow us.
09:35Woo!
09:37Ho ho ho.
09:38Woo!
09:40Okay, wait.
09:41Give me.
09:42Give me, give me, give me.
09:48Hi.
09:49Wait.
09:50Wait, wait, wait.
09:51I got it.
09:54Is that it?
09:55You're the one that suddenly decided everybody has to have a special talent.
09:58You should be grateful.
09:59Yeah, I don't think grateful is the word that's coming to mind.
10:04Yeah, it's been a while.
10:06How long are we talking?
10:08I think I was twelve.
10:10Is there anything else inside that box that we can use?
10:15No, that's it.
10:17Right.
10:20Hey, I can do one-handed push-ups.
10:23Really?
10:24Great.
10:25Let's do that.
10:26Give me ten.
10:29Okay.
10:37She said it.
10:39Sammy, you're supposed to be here supporting me.
10:42It's alright.
10:43Everyone has at least one talent we can use.
10:47Hey, I could learn how to swallow fire from a client.
10:50Swallow fire?
10:52Is there anything else a little less life-threatening?
10:55You really think that we believe you just got here?
10:58It's the truth.
10:59Just what you're known for.
11:01I was about to call you.
11:04I want to make things right.
11:06What?
11:07Why now?
11:08No, actually, don't answer that because there is no way you can make up for what you did.
11:12Please, Nicole, just give me a chance.
11:14Dad, you disappeared off the face of the earth.
11:16Oh, and picked up a floozy on the way.
11:19Typical.
11:20That's my bag.
11:23Mel, what are you doing with Vic?
11:25Um, we've just met.
11:27I obviously had no idea who he was.
11:31But I should have, shouldn't I?
11:33Vic.
11:35Victor Stone.
11:37So you're here for five minutes and already picking up one of my friends.
11:41You do realise that when we were married, Melanie was family?
11:44Jo's Melanie Fluff.
11:47And now you've finally met the man who has caused us all so much pain.
11:52I'm in the way.
11:53You guys have obviously got a lot of catching up to do.
12:04So, are you sleeping any better?
12:07On an offer.
12:09I'm not going to say no.
12:10So, are you sleeping any better?
12:13On and off.
12:15I'm guessing more off than on by the sounds of it.
12:21Do you know exactly what it is you're struggling with?
12:24Because if you can pinpoint that, maybe we can find a way of fixing it.
12:28I don't think there's an easy fix.
12:31It's such a big house and it's so empty.
12:34It's been so long since I've been there on my own.
12:37I just, I'm struggling to adjust.
12:39Let alone feel restful enough to sleep.
12:42Yeah, I felt the same way when Leo and Abby moved out.
12:48Yeah, it's just the little things I miss.
12:52The kids thundering down the stairs, even their arguing.
12:56Yeah, or tripping over toys scattered all over the floor.
13:01And them making cups of tea even when I didn't ask for them.
13:03Yeah.
13:10Where are those coffees?
13:15Now we're talking!
13:17Or is that walking?
13:19Where did you even learn to walk on stilts?
13:22No, actually, you know what, I don't even want to hear the answer to that.
13:25So, what do we reckon?
13:27I think this could be good.
13:29I think, I mean, I don't know how, but do we like it?
13:32We know, we know.
13:34Yeah, it is.
13:35Hey, what do you reckon?
13:36We know, we know.
13:38Yeah, it is.
13:39Hey, can you guys check that for me?
13:40Sure.
13:46Hey, Byron, I think you might want to come down and look at this.
13:54Melanie can't still be on her date.
13:56Surely she's listened to my messages by now.
13:58Maybe she's embarrassed.
14:01Hey!
14:02Hey, how's it?
14:03Hey, how'd you go with Byron and Boylesque?
14:04Yeah, good.
14:05We were workshopping something but we got distracted.
14:08Vic Stone is back in town.
14:10Yeah, yeah, we know.
14:12Well, you know, if Byron can get his act together then we're well on our way.
14:15We just need your talent now.
14:17Oh, yeah, don't worry.
14:18I have something in mind and it is going to blow people away.
14:21I bet.
14:23Oh, sorry.
14:26I'd like to know why you're really back.
14:29I'm happy to explain everything, but we have to wait for Byron.
14:35I will not let you hurt our children again.
14:38That's not my intention.
14:45I'm sorry.
14:47I'm sorry.
14:49I'm sorry.
14:50I'm sorry.
15:01What the hell is this?
15:02No, sir.
15:03No?
15:04You don't even have the right to call me that after the way you left.
15:07It's important that I hear how much I hurt you.
15:10Why?
15:11Why? I mean, what's that going to achieve?
15:13It's not the way I've normally gone about things, is it?
15:16It might be the one way that I can show you I'm trying to change.
15:19I'd rather have you in my life angry than not at all.
15:23So his face didn't ring any bells?
15:25I suppose I would have seen Jane's wedding album, but that would have been 30 years ago.
15:32What?
15:33I just realised I'm actually his auntie by my marriage to Joe.
15:39And they lived in the UK.
15:42When I was in London I didn't even know if they were on or off at that stage, but I never met him.
15:49Well, what about when he was here mid-year?
15:51I'd just come back from my big trip.
15:58Well, thank you for that.
16:00It was your shower.
16:01I meant thank you for listening to me.
16:05Therese, everyone is here for you.
16:08True.
16:10It's just somehow I feel like they are always pitting me.
16:15And like yourself, you're always there for me.
16:19Knowing exactly what to say and when to listen.
16:24You don't know how much that means to people.
16:28Glad I can help.
16:33We are not doing this again. We're not playing these games, okay?
16:35Vic, please, it's time to go.
16:39Byron, wait.
16:40What?
16:41Maybe we should at least hear his story.
16:42What? So you can give him another free pass? No, Nick.
16:45No, we just have so many questions and this might be the only time that we get answers.
16:50When I found out I was in full remission.
16:57To say I was stunned is an understatement.
16:59I mean, you all know I was at peace with what was going to happen and to hear otherwise.
17:04All I could think of was that I had a future and that's when I panicked.
17:07And that's when I panicked.
17:09Because I promised you both so much and I'd left myself with almost nothing.
17:14And after finally getting to a good place with both of you, I knew I'd disappoint you if I pulled out of our agreement.
17:20And I couldn't bear to do that again.
17:27So I took the easy way out and I wrote you letters, Rian.
17:33Do you honestly think that Nicolette and Byron cared about the money?
17:37Well, I made a promise.
17:39Another broken promise.
17:41It's the least of the issues here that Vic, this was about you not dying.
17:47That's why they're so upset.
17:48Well, we all are because we cared about you.
17:52Not the money.
17:55I don't care about you.
17:57Not anymore at least.
17:59Just don't forget that you screwed over Leo and left me and Nic to clean up your mess.
18:03And that's why I've come back.
18:05To make up for every bad decision I made.
18:07Vic, we have given you so many chances and you've blown them up!
18:16I'm not going to ask you again, okay?
18:19It's time to leave.
18:28I'm sorry.
18:47I'm not giving up.
18:51Sorry.
18:59Byron?
19:01Yeah, yeah.
19:03He's got to be kidding.
19:05And you?
19:07Didn't feel like backing me up in there?
19:09I just...
19:12It's a lot to process, Byron.
19:15I didn't ever think that I would see him again.
19:17It was like...
19:19I don't know.
19:21It was like...
19:23I don't know.
19:25It was like...
19:26I didn't ever think that I would see him again.
19:28It was like he really died and now...
19:30Yeah, yeah, I get that it's a lot.
19:32But you have to remember that he screwed us both over.
19:34Okay, so you and me, we have to stick together.
19:37So he gets the message to leave us alone!
19:47You're not going soft on him, are you?
19:49I'm not.
19:51What he did to us was awful.
19:52Good, because it wouldn't be the first time now, would it?
19:57This time's different.
20:01You bet it is.
20:23Is there another GFC coming?
20:25Or is the mood Therese-related?
20:29Mate, you know, no matter how often I tell myself that I can handle loving Therese,
20:34but still keep my distance,
20:36the reality?
20:38Way different.
20:40Yeah, but you can't abandon her.
20:42No, no, and I wouldn't. No, never.
20:45I just can't be there for Therese the way that she needs me.
20:52But I know someone who can.
20:54I'm so sorry.
20:56I have been chewing your ear off and you probably need to get back to work.
20:59No, I always have time for you.
21:04Krista.
21:06Nice to see you again.
21:08Can't say the same.
21:12Can I have a quick word?
21:14It's fine.
21:17I'll see you at home.
21:23I swear I didn't realise you were that Melanie.
21:26Yes, well, I believe you because there's no way I had any idea that you were that bitch.
21:33I had to think there was all those times that we could have met.
21:36Talk about sliding doors.
21:40That goes without saying, we can't take it any further.
21:44No way.
21:46Jane has been a great friend to me.
21:49I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
21:53I suppose she's given you my full rap sheet.
21:56Yeah, I'm finding it quite difficult to reconcile that person with the guy that I've been getting to know.
22:03That's because I don't want to be that guy anymore.
22:07Not that I expect anyone to take my word for it.
22:12Somewhere out there a lucky man is waiting for you.
22:15I should go.
22:18You should.
22:44Coming up on Neighbours.
22:46I can't trust myself to be around her.
22:48I mean, I've tried, but I just can't.
22:50Paul, are you okay? You're looking a little stressed.
22:52I know we'd only been chatting for a few weeks, but it felt like he was my perfect match.
22:57I look at you, I don't see my father anymore.
23:00You don't really mean that.
