00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02She's relying on you now.
00:04You're up for it.
00:05You're always there for me.
00:06You don't know how much that means to me, Paul.
00:08I just can't be there for Therese the way that she needs me.
00:11And I know someone who can.
00:12Is that it?
00:13You're the one that suddenly decided everybody has to have a special talent.
00:16This is the guy that she's about to go on a date with.
00:18Dad?
00:19We have given you so many chances.
00:22We have to stick together.
00:24So he gets the message to leave us alone.
00:26It goes without saying, we can't take it any further.
00:28No way.
00:31Neighbors
00:34Everybody needs good neighbors
00:38With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect blend
00:49Neighbors
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbors
00:59Need perfect good friends
01:10Good night for it.
01:13I, um, I won't interrupt.
01:16Just wanted to say I know things got a bit messy.
01:22I hope you're doing okay.
01:25Do you have any idea how much Nicolette and Byron have done to fix the damage you caused?
01:30You know, it's only because of them we got a copy still going.
01:34They're good kids.
01:37Things have changed since I was sick.
01:39I'm not walking away anymore.
01:41I'm sincerely sorry for what happened.
01:44What's a sorry from you worth, Vic?
01:47Everything.
01:49You had my word on that.
01:51But you're not a man of your word, are you?
02:12Ice cream.
02:14As promised.
02:17I know we'd only been chatting for a few weeks but I felt like he was my perfect match.
02:25Yeah.
02:26Turns out he was a womanizer who bailed on his kids.
02:30But he said he wasn't that person anymore.
02:33Why am I even going through this?
02:36Because you liked him.
02:37Yeah.
02:40But it can never happen.
02:43Unfortunately, I don't think men like that change so easily.
02:50You're right.
02:55I'm lucky that I found out when I did.
03:01You know you're still allowed to be sad about it.
03:05No.
03:06You know, here's to things working out better for once.
03:11Really?
03:14Here's to happier times and better men.
03:20To better men.
03:31This first one is very Harry Styles.
03:35First one?
03:36Yeah, I wrote five songs this afternoon.
03:40Look, there's the door.
03:45Oh, Paul.
03:46Hi.
03:47You a bit busy, Paul?
03:48Oh, don't listen to him.
03:50Come in, come in.
03:51Thanks.
03:52Listen, I actually wanted to get your thoughts on something.
03:54Well, it's about Therese, actually.
03:57Well, you're with her most days and I just wondered how she seemed to you?
04:03Coping, I think.
04:04Why?
04:05Has she said something?
04:06No, no, no.
04:07It's coping I think it might be a bit of a front though.
04:10She seems to be holding it together very well at work.
04:13Problem is she's going back to an empty house every night and I just think she needs her friends around her.
04:18Yeah.
04:20Well, maybe we can come up with some sort of a schedule.
04:23Take it in turns to check in on her.
04:25I can't be part of that though.
04:27We're outsourcing compassion these days, aren't we?
04:30Carl, I can't trust myself to be around her.
04:33I mean, I've tried but I just can't.
04:34And I was hoping that you might be able to keep an eye on her.
04:37And report back?
04:40She just needs her friends, Carl.
04:42Yeah, of course.
04:44Yeah, we can be there for her.
04:47Thanks.
04:59I knew it.
05:00Five minutes, that's all.
05:02Four?
05:04One.
05:07Probably more than I deserve.
05:11Firstly, I'm sorry I didn't get to make contact the way I'd planned.
05:17I wanted to do everything right this time.
05:19I will do whatever it takes, Jane.
05:22When you showed up last time, desperate to reconcile because you thought that you were dying.
05:28We did everything that we could to forgive you and support you.
05:31That was a precious gift.
05:34I know.
05:36Well, no, you don't.
05:37Because the minute that you got good news, you abandoned us.
05:43You will never know just how disposable you made us feel.
05:53As always, you know how to cut me down.
05:57I just thought you might have a bit of pity for the stress on me.
06:02Cancer specialists go back and forth on whether I was going to live or die.
06:08I don't know what you want me to say.
06:14Can I just say that that letter that I left you.
06:18No, let's not go there.
06:20I hope it didn't cause trouble for you and Mike.
06:23Well, as it so happens, we have broken up.
06:30That's a shame.
06:31Look, I really can do without your questions and your faux sympathy, so if you don't mind.
06:47I bet Vic's going around giving everyone drugged by apologies right now.
06:50I'm surprised you didn't pour your drink on him.
06:52Well, he's not really worth a drink.
06:54Oh, sorry, but before you.
06:56Whoops, I just dropped my pen.
06:57Would you mind picking it up for me?
06:59What?
07:00You mean this one?
07:01Mm-hmm.
07:04Oh, okay.
07:05Well, I think that deserves a little spin.
07:07A spin?
07:08Mm-hmm.
07:09Ooh.
07:11Okay, and just one more thing.
07:12Sorry, I think there's a crack up in the plaster up there.
07:14Would you?
07:15Yeah.
07:16Yeah.
07:17That's exactly what I was going for.
07:19That's exactly why you should do boilers.
07:21Look how much fun you're having.
07:22You know, you were fuming about Vic two seconds ago, and now you're making jokes.
07:26You know, we just need one more guy.
07:31The idea of being on stage terrifies me.
07:33Okay, but I'll make a big donation.
07:38All right.
07:39Compromise accepted.
07:41Yeah, well, what about a private show?
07:50Mwah.
07:52Oh, all right.
07:56But you aren't getting enough sleep.
07:57Oh, well, only if I put the air con on, right?
07:59Yeah, tell me about it.
08:01Oh, you look like you've lost something.
08:03Yeah, we should keep going.
08:04Carl's going to wonder where we are.
08:06No, you go.
08:07It's okay.
08:08Carl can wait.
08:10Oh, are you okay?
08:11You're looking a little stressed.
08:12No, no, no, no, no.
08:13I just suddenly remembered I left some papers on my desk.
08:17I've just got too many meetings going on.
08:18Oh, yes, we've got a few this morning too, don't we?
08:20Yeah, well, you've probably taken too much on.
08:22Well, I can pitch in this afternoon.
08:24Take some of the load off.
08:25No, no, no.
08:26That's really kind of you, Trace, but that sounds like you two are flat out anyway.
08:30We are.
08:31Yeah.
08:32No, no, Paul, come on.
08:33If you need me, I can help.
08:34I can clear some time.
08:35Yeah?
08:36Um, maybe if I check my schedule and...
08:39Sorry, um, Carl is actually wondering where we are.
08:42He's being hassled about bus trips, apparently.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Yeah, of course.
08:48Well, yeah, you guys have got bus trips.
08:50I've got to go and get my papers and then we'll be good.
08:53Okay.
08:54Call me if you need me.
08:56Yeah, yeah, no, I will.
08:57All right, see ya.
08:58Yeah.
08:59See ya.
09:15This is bad timing.
09:16I was about to go pick up Isla.
09:17No, later's fine.
09:18Is Byron here?
09:20Here he is.
09:23Whatever this is, I'm not interested.
09:24I'll tell you, the price of this stuff shot up.
09:27Good luck.
09:29Uh, didn't want to turn up empty handed.
09:33And not just that.
09:35Something else.
09:37Something important.
09:42Okay.
09:45Uh, just so you know, I've tried to make peace with your mum.
09:50And I apologised to Leo, too.
09:53Great, so everything's fixed?
09:55Everything's fixed.
09:58I'm here and I'm trying.
10:02Anyway, I've managed to pull together some money to help you and Nicolelle.
10:08I figured you both took out a loan to buy in with Leo, so this would be a nice start.
10:14Paying that down.
10:15Gee, wow.
10:21You don't need a hundred thousand.
10:22Don't need an empty promise.
10:26Don't punish yourself to punish me.
10:29You've asked me let off the hook so many times.
10:31Okay, I have nothing left.
10:33I look at you.
10:36I don't see my father anymore.
10:42You don't, you don't really mean that.
10:44Okay.
10:54Now, I'll give you space.
11:08I'm not going to see you kids worse off because of me.
11:12I'm going to fix that for you and Nicol.
11:20Please, mate, please, let me do that for you.
11:42Hey, do you want to do brunch sometime this week?
11:45Carl's too busy.
11:46I am?
11:48Well, you often are.
11:49Actually, my schedule's overloaded.
11:52Oh, I thought you must have had a light week since you offered to help Paul.
11:56Yeah, well, he just looked really stressed and I felt like he needed the help.
12:01Anyway, listen, I've got to take this meeting and log on.
12:04Yeah, it's a shame he can't be self-sacrificing for her.
12:15Introducing Big Build Brennan!
12:26No Brennan magic for you.
12:28I could go all day, baby.
12:30Yeah, boy.
12:31I could go all day, baby.
12:33Yeah, boy.
12:34No, no, no, no.
12:35Eyes are up here.
12:37I know you want all of me sitting all over all of you.
12:44Hey, you don't have to cry.
12:46It's all good.
12:47It's all good.
12:48It's just a show.
12:50What is that perfume?
12:53Mahogany?
12:56Gotcha.
12:57Okay.
12:58This one's for you.
13:02Oh, no.
13:04Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
13:07Let's just forget about him, eh?
13:08How are we going for the 50th this weekend?
13:10Yeah, we're, um...
13:12Hey, Aaron!
13:14Come on.
13:15Hey!
13:19Hey.
13:21Um...
13:22Are you alright, mate?
13:23Oh, no.
13:24I just kicked the kitchen bench.
13:26You wouldn't believe it.
13:27I stubbed my toe.
13:28You know how it is.
13:29Well, it's not broken or anything.
13:30No, no, no.
13:31It's fine.
13:32I can barely feel it, to be honest.
13:34And if it's not better than...
13:35What?
13:36I have to sub in for boilers.
13:38Ta-da!
13:39Nailed it.
13:40Speaking of, I've got some new moves that I wanted to show you for my intro.
13:44Aaron, it's my cue to leave.
13:45No, you don't...
13:46Just call me if you've got any work stuff.
13:47Yeah.
13:48Yep.
13:50So...
13:51What have we got?
13:52Come around the corner.
13:53I'll show you.
13:54Come on, come on, come on.
13:55Yep, yep.
13:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:58Stop.
13:59Are you sure you haven't broken it?
14:00No, I'm fine.
14:01It doesn't look like it.
14:02Why don't you just go home and put some ice on it?
14:04No, I just want to see the dance moves.
14:05Come on.
14:06Not until you fix your toe.
14:07Okay?
14:08You can barely walk.
14:11Okay, fine.
14:13But we'll talk later.
14:14We'll dance later.
14:15We'll dance later.
14:18I'm fine.
14:22Okay, that's it for today.
14:23Thank you, everyone.
14:24Thanks, DeRose.
14:25See ya.
14:26Bye.
14:29Bye.
15:00Wow.
15:02Wow.
15:03Wow.
15:26I'm going to take a wild guess that you didn't get a very peaceful rest last night.
15:32Did my quadruple shot coffee give me away?
15:36Did you manage to talk to Vic?
15:40I don't even know why I give that man the time of day.
15:43I don't understand why he can't just do what people need.
15:47Instead of always just talking his way out of trouble.
15:51I shouldn't be dumping all of this on you.
15:53Don't be silly.
15:54I think you've got plenty of biggies in the barrel when it comes to downloading.
15:58What a coincidence.
15:59You being the first person that he chats up when he gets here.
16:03Well, if that's what he was doing, I didn't even realise.
16:06See, that's another one of his tricks.
16:10So did you manage to thrash anything out with him?
16:13No.
16:15No, all Vic wants from me or from any other woman is just to make himself feel better for a few minutes.
16:21Well, he's not going to sweet talk his way out of anything with me anymore.
16:25I am done.
16:30Bye.
16:50Okey dokey.
16:52I'll see you later.
16:53Bye.
16:55Actually, Susan.
16:56Yeah.
16:57About brunch.
16:58If you're still keen, I'd love to come.
17:00Great, I'll make a reservation.
17:02Oh, no need. I'll do it after my invoice.
17:04Alright, I'll look forward to that.
17:06Okay.
17:13Hey, Mum.
17:15Hey.
17:16A knock would have been nice.
17:19Is that where you stubbed your toe?
17:22Okay, fine.
17:24I pulled my hamstring.
17:25I knew it.
17:26How bad?
17:27I probably shouldn't be on it.
17:28Seriously, Aaron.
17:29I was just doing a high kick and then bang.
17:32I wasn't even going that hard.
17:34Okay, but you warmed up though.
17:35I shouldn't need to because I'm a dancer.
17:38You used to be a dancer.
17:39Once a dancer, always a dancer.
17:42Okay, okay.
17:43But can you perform on me?
17:45Sure.
17:48Do we need to get Carl?
17:49No.
17:50No, because he's going to tell me to stay off it for six weeks or something like that.
17:53I have to make this work.
17:55Krista is counting on me.
17:56Okay, okay, okay, okay.
17:57Plan B.
17:58Okay, for the special talent bit, we're just going to do low stake stuff, okay?
18:02That just means posing.
18:03Posing?
18:04Yeah.
18:05You can use your arms, right?
18:06And then for the finale, we'll just pair you with somebody who can handle all the high movement stuff, okay?
18:10We're not letting this fall over just because somebody's dancer's body ain't what it used to be.
18:14As soon as I can kick again, I...
18:18Hmm.
18:19The show must go on, Aaron.
18:22Have you seen your father again?
18:25He's working his way through his priorities.
18:28First Byron with an expensive bottle of whiskey.
18:31Oh.
18:32Oh, no bribes for me, just apologies.
18:35Well, I am obviously at the bottom of his list.
18:45Hello.
18:46Can I stay with you tonight, Mommy?
18:50That sounds like so much fun.
18:52But I think Dada's doing something even more fun with you today.
18:57Please.
18:59Come on, Isla.
19:00We're going to watch a movie, and then Dada is going to make your favourite for dinner.
19:05Ice cream.
19:06And jelly.
19:07You can't miss that.
19:08Ice cream and jelly.
19:09Can I have a hug?
19:13I love you so much.
19:14I love you so much.
19:17Come on.
19:19Let's go.
19:21Hey, I love you so much.
19:36Pastries, made the French way.
19:40You obviously don't know I work in a cafe again.
19:42Oh.
19:44I was wondering when you were going to get around to seeing me.
19:47I figured I'd save the best for last.
19:49You know, I spoke to your mum.
19:51Hmm?
19:54Um, she's talking tough right now, but I think I could find a way.
20:01Maybe Byron too.
20:05Did he tell you what I said?
20:06All I know is there's over a hundred dollars of whiskey for Byron and a few pastries for good old Nicole.
20:15What's going on?
20:16You're so worried about Mum and Byron, what about fixing things with me?
20:19That's why I'm here.
20:21You haven't even asked me why I'm living here and I'm not at Mum's with Isla and Aaron.
20:28Well, I figured you'd move because you wanted some privacy.
20:33You think I'm here because I wanted time away from my own kid?
20:37No, that's, that's not what I mean.
20:40I'm banished because I messed up so badly with Aaron that he and Mum don't want me around.
20:49That's rough.
20:51It's killing me, being away from Isla and my family.
20:55Of course it is.
20:56Of course it is.
21:01But you're just okay, leaving everyone behind.
21:07No, I wasn't okay.
21:14You know I love you kids.
21:15All I could think about when I was sick was making sure you and Byron were looked after, yeah.
21:27I thought out of everyone you would understand that.
21:34And we'd get each other.
21:37And we'd get each other.
21:41I used to think that but now I think I just made allowances for you because I wanted people to make allowances for me when I behaved badly.
21:54Well, we all have to put ourselves first sometimes.
21:58But Dad, you always put yourself first and it's not the kind of parent that I want to be.
22:07I really didn't know you felt that way.
22:11I've tried so hard to believe in you, Dad.
22:15But I remember every single lie that you ever told me.
22:19And it's really damaging.
22:22And I do think it's better if you're just not around us anymore.
22:32You hate me that much?
22:34I don't want Isla to be hurt.
22:37I don't want Mum and Byron to be hurt.
22:40And you've actually made it impossible for me to lie to myself anymore.
22:45So no, I don't want you in our lives.
22:57Coming up on Navis.
22:59How much hospital experience do you have?
23:01I've scraped leftovers off the plates of convicted felons.
23:03Melanie, how would you feel about grabbing another coffee?
