00:02Well, this is me, you know, coming to the table.
00:04Just when I'm absolutely knackered.
00:06And then he had the audacity to walk off
00:08after I cooked for him and everything.
00:10What about taking a few days personally?
00:12I don't need it.
00:13He's suspended.
00:15Impatience and irritability are symptoms of PTSD.
00:19He wanted to make sure that I would be there for you
00:22if he took a step back.
00:23Look, I know things usually get messy with Paul and I,
00:26but it's just reassuring knowing that he's around.

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
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59Should be there for one another
01:14It's okay.
01:17Please don't leave me.
01:27No!
01:29No!
01:34I know, but we've worked through so much
01:36since Toadie blew up our lives.
01:39Doesn't mean it's a good idea to lean on Paul.
01:42No, I know, but it just...
01:45It makes me feel better.
01:47Makes me feel like I'm still valuable.
01:49I just don't want to see you walk into a bad situation
01:51when you're so vulnerable.
01:54Yeah, you're right.
01:56We really should keep our distance from each other.
01:59I mean, it's not like he's a magic bullet or anything.
02:02More like a landmine.
02:03Touche.
02:05Are you heading into Irene this afternoon?
02:07On my way.
02:08I just wanted to check that you were okay first.
02:11I will be.
02:13You sure?
02:15Well, I mean, I've come this far on my own, so...
02:19OK.
02:20Well, I'll see you in a little while.

03:06KNOCK AT DOOR
03:11Hey. Sorry if I'm interrupting anything.
03:14No, it's fine. Is everything OK?
03:17Have you spoken to Nell in the past few days?
03:20Um, we've sent a few messages.
03:23But I think she's pretty homesick by the sounds of it.
03:26Yeah, she's just really worried that everyone's forgetting about her.
03:28I keep trying to tell her we haven't, but...
03:30Oh, I'll give her a call when she's home later.
03:34Listen, it's not all new to handle.
03:38Everyone needs to support Nell, especially her family.
03:41Yeah, I reckon she'll be really glad to talk to you.
03:44Yeah, well, I know what it's like to feel cut off.
03:48And I have been thinking about her a lot, so I'll let her know.
03:51Thanks.
03:53OK, bye. Bye.

04:03DRILL WHIRS
04:15Hey. I've got lemonade if you want it.
04:18Thanks.
04:20What's that?
04:22Er, it's something a mum's.
04:26Oh, offshore bank account?
04:42Ding, ding, ding!
04:44I think the other guy's a pile of pulp on the ground.
04:47Listen, Wendy said that you've taken a bit of time off work.
04:51Great. I won't do what she tells everyone we've ever met.
04:54I wasn't going to mention anything, but if there's anything that I can do to help...
04:58I mean, you might want to ditch the show.
05:01Seriously?
05:03You have more important things you need to put your energy into right now.
05:06Look, I lost it for a few seconds. It's nothing.
05:10DRILL WHIRS
05:23Hey, babe. You on break?
05:25Yeah. I just caught Wendy.
05:27Oh, how's she doing?
05:29I said that you could recommend some marriage counsellors if they decide to go that way.
05:33Oh, yeah. I mean, that's a good idea.
05:36What's that?
05:39What I came to talk to you about.
05:42JJ found your birthday goals from your 40th.
05:46Ah.
05:48Look, to be fair, that was a really busy day.
05:51You know, with the makeover and the surprise party.
05:54I did that all pretty quick. Just off the top of my head.
05:58Well, we didn't read it all, but the first one was a bit of a curveball.
06:03What, my goal to build something more exciting than the sunroom?
06:08You dream to have another baby?
06:11It's nothing serious. That's why I said it was a dream.
06:15It must be a little bit serious. You wrote it in your letter.
06:19Have you been thinking about this a lot?
06:24Well, yeah. I guess I have.
06:28I just thought sending you those silly messages would cheer you up.
06:34No, it wasn't a brush off.
06:38OK, I will call you every single day until you stop thinking that.
06:45OK. Fine. I'll, um...
06:49Yeah, you go. I'll talk to you soon.
06:52OK. Bye.
06:56Therese?
06:59I was just talking to Nell. Nothing I say will cheer her up.
07:04Oh, hey, hey. Come here, come here.
07:26I'm... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...
07:29No, no, no. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't. I'm sorry.
07:34I, um... I should go to work.
07:37Yeah.
07:39I'll talk to you soon.
07:40OK.
07:42So...
07:45Can I just point out that I know it's completely impractical
07:48and that age is a big factor.
07:50Which is why we should talk about it now,
07:52instead of in five years when you're supposed to open the letter.
07:55It would be crazy, though.
07:57Can you imagine trying to find another donor?
07:59I'd be paranoid we'd get another donor.
08:01I'd be paranoid we'd get another donor.
08:03I'd be paranoid we'd get another donor.
08:05I'd be paranoid we'd get another donor.
08:07I'd be paranoid we'd get another donor.
08:09I'd be paranoid we'd get another donor.
08:11I'd be paranoid we'd get another Felix.
08:13I mean, no arguments here, but...
08:16Kara.
08:18Like, practicality aside,
08:21is this really what you want most?
08:23I couldn't write anything in your birthday dreams.
08:28Well, I love our family.
08:30Wouldn't it be great if there was more of us?
08:33And the baby years? How fun were they?
08:37Yes, very.
08:40Very chaotic.
08:42See, you don't want another one.
08:44That's where your mind went first.
08:46Hey, I didn't say that.
08:48Do you ever think about having a third?
08:52Not since Dexie was little.
08:55I thought we agreed that...
08:58Yeah, I guess that feeling just never 100% went away for me.
09:03Well, if it is important to you,
09:07then I would be open to talking about that.
09:11You say one thing, but your face is another.
09:15It's fine. Just forget it.
09:18You know, we both have way less energy and busier jobs.
09:23People have babies at 40 all the time.
09:26We'd both have to really want it to commit to the sleep business.
09:31Yeah, and the lack of free time.
09:35I'd never want to push you into anything you didn't want to do.
09:38But I'm worried that you'll have regrets.
09:41And I love you for that.
09:44But relax, okay?
09:46It was just a really lovely dream that I never expected to happen.
09:52Sure.
10:00You look absurd.
10:04Sorry, sweetheart. I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that.
10:07No, my fault. Are you okay?
10:08It's just a knock. It's just a knock.
10:10No, it's not. I've hurt you.
10:11It's all right. It's the same wrist I hurt a little while ago.
10:15That's all. Don't worry, sweetheart. It was an accident.
10:17I'll go get you the pain gel.
10:18Thanks.
10:30Paul.
10:37Paul, hi. What brings you here?
10:39Therese.
10:40Ah, of course.
10:41Look, I just found her in the street in a bit of a state after a conversation with Nell.
10:46And look, I know that you're making an effort.
10:48I am.
10:49Yeah, but I just wondered if there's anything else you could do.
10:51Or maybe that I could do behind the scenes.
10:53Paul, no.
10:54We could spend day and night with Therese.
10:57She's still going to have low moments.
10:59Yeah, but just now she needed a shoulder to lean on.
11:02And mine was the only one there.
11:04Oh.
11:05Yeah, if she hadn't have pulled away, I don't know what I would have done.
11:08Actually, I do. That's the problem.
11:10You said you needed to keep away from her, let alone –
11:12Hugging her in the street.
11:13Therese.
11:14I know, I know.
11:15I just think her feelings towards you are more complicated than she realises.
11:18Her feelings? About me?
11:22I don't mean it like that.
11:24Yeah, well, hang on a second.
11:25As far as I'm aware, she's devastated because Toadie and the family moved away,
11:28but unless there's something I'm missing?
11:32No.
11:34No?
11:35She has tried very, very hard to get a hold of me.
11:37Oh, Paul, stop.
11:39I can assure you all Therese needs from you right now is friendship.
11:45Alright, yeah.
11:46Yeah, no, you're right, if you say so.
11:48Yeah, so just get this whole conversation out of your head.
11:55Dad.
12:03Dad.
12:04What's going on with you and Mum?
12:06Don't brush me off.
12:08I spoke to Felix.
12:10It's not like you're busy or anything.
12:13It's a downside of having time on your hands.
12:17Why are you acting so out of character?
12:20I mean, I can't even imagine you manhandling a suspect.
12:23It was just one stuff-up.
12:25It was just about your issues with Mum.
12:27Sadie, please.
12:28Just have a proper conversation with her.
12:31Without being defensive.
12:33Please, you have to and you need to.
12:36It's not that simple.
12:38Why isn't it?
12:47I don't know how to explain it.
12:50The more that I think, the more I just keep seeing her with Quinn.
12:57I know I wasn't deliberate.
12:59Obviously.
13:01But she still spent all night with this guy.
13:04She had some deep emotional connection with him.
13:06She told you it wasn't like that.
13:09Over and over again.
13:11I froze.
13:16She needed Quinn.
13:19Ever since this guy came into our lives,
13:24it's shown me that we're not what I thought we were.
13:30Don't.
13:34We won't be able to get our perfect marriage back.
13:37Don't say that.
13:41I don't know what else to tell you.
13:49I love you.
14:20I love you.
14:32I shouldn't be too long, Mum.
14:34I'll keep you posted.
14:36OK.
14:37Yeah, bye.
14:38Bye.
14:39I didn't know you were going to be here.
14:40Yes, I thought I'd do some paperwork.
14:43The healthiest distraction I could think of.
14:45I thought you'd gone home.
14:46Oh, I just popped back to see Hilary.
14:48She seemed a bit lonely earlier.
14:49Oh, well, you go home.
14:50I'll play some cards with her later.
14:52No, I'll do it.
14:53I think I might owe you one.
14:57Why?
14:58Don't shoot me.
14:59Paul came to see me earlier and I wasn't on top of my game.
15:03I didn't say much, but I may have implied something of what we were talking about earlier.
15:09Susan.
15:10I know, I know.
15:11I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
15:12I told him that he misunderstood me, but I don't know that that's sunk in.
15:17Oh, what am I going to do?
15:18You just have to hope that he keeps doing the honourable thing and stays away from you.
15:23And if he doesn't, then you have to be very, very firm with him.
15:27Oh, it's Hilary.
15:29Why don't we all have a game of cards?
15:31No, no.
15:33I'm feeling suddenly tired, very tired.
15:35I'm so sorry.
15:42OK.
15:48OK.
16:01I'll send through the names of some counsellors.
16:03They're all really experienced with family dynamics.
16:07OK, well, I will leave that up to you.
16:10All right, bye.
16:13Is she OK?
16:15I hope so.
16:16Things seem really bad between her and Andrew.
16:18Well, hopefully that helps.
16:21I just texted JJ, reminding him we're here.
16:25Ten minutes late's not exactly unprecedented behaviour.
16:28Yeah, but you said that he was shocked when he read the letter.
16:31He was a bit out of the blue.
16:33I just hope he's not worried.
16:38My round again.
16:41So, I've got the names of some marriage counsellors.
16:46Remy's recommendations.
16:51Look, I don't know how we get back to the way we were,
16:54but maybe a professional can show us.
16:57Worth a shot.
17:00Do you mean that?
17:02Why not?
17:05Why not?
17:08So you're not just saying that to get rid of me?
17:11If I make the appointment, you will come?
17:15Schedule's wide open.
17:19Well, you don't sound very positive about it.
17:21We haven't even gone yet.
17:24Give me a chance.
17:28All right.
17:30We'll let you know the details.
17:34Thanks.
17:57Thanks.
18:05Okay, well now he's late, late.
18:10Nope, he's here, here.
18:12He doesn't look too traumatised.
18:14Hey, sorry I'm late. Forgot I had stuff to do for our reading.
18:17Hey, you know, if it's anything more than that, you can say.
18:20Ma said you saw the letter?
18:23Yeah, um, so was that, like, serious?
18:27Another kid?
18:29I already told you, Ma, it was just an idea.
18:32It wasn't a serious suggestion.
18:34We're not going to be turning our lives upside down any time soon.
18:36Good, I was worried I'd have to share a room with Dex.
18:38No one wants that kind of chaos.
18:40Everyone can take a breath.
18:44It's, um, it's not because of me, is it?
18:48How do you mean?
18:50You know, because I'm sort of like the problem kid.
18:53I was wondering if you wanted a new model.
18:55No, no, don't think that.
18:58I just, I thought it would be nice to have more of a good thing.
19:02Hey, I love you two so much that I would clone you if I could.
19:06Well, you're my everything.
19:09You hearing me?
19:11Yeah, thanks.
19:14You know, actually, I wouldn't mind being cloned.
19:16Well, I'll look into it. Can't be more than IVF.
19:20Knock, knock, it's only me.
19:22Oh, let me guess who you've come to see.
19:25Hilary?
19:26Seriously, Paul, there's nothing I said before that should have you hot-tailing it over here to find Therese.
19:32Is it such a crime that I should want to find out how Therese is feeling?
19:36In her own words, not secondhand through you.
19:38You're the one who asked me to keep an eye on her so that you could step back.
19:42Paul, she's been through a hell of an ordeal.
19:45Her feelings are probably wildly swinging from one minute to the next.
19:49Please, please don't take advantage of that.
19:52Oh, well, thank you very much for your extreme lack of faith in my character.
19:55No, I just think that your initial instinct to back off was the right one.
20:00Yeah, and I am doing my utmost to keep to myself.
20:03Come on, I'm only human.
20:07And besides, I just, sometimes I think I just can't live without her.
20:15If your feelings for her are really so strong, it shouldn't be hard for you to put her needs first.
20:21Yeah.
20:51Hi.
21:00Hi.
21:01I came to say sorry.
21:06It's just you've needed me and I've been the exact opposite to available.
21:12You had your reasons for staying away.
21:15It's quite noble.
21:16Quite stupid, really.
21:18Of course I can just be your friend.
21:20I don't know what I was thinking.
21:22That means more to me than anything else in the world.
21:24And it doesn't matter if it's difficult for me.
21:26Oh, Paul.
21:27It's assuming you want me as your friend after all this idiocy.
21:34Actually, um,
21:40your timing couldn't be any better.
21:43I came so close, so close to drinking this.
21:48Yeah, that's not worth it, is it?
21:50I know.
21:52And I got myself into such a state.
21:58But you're exactly what I needed.
22:12I love you.
22:24Coming up on Neighbours.
22:26Mike shouldn't be leaving you to tie up his loose ends.
22:28You're saying that, really?
22:30I am choosing to believe that everything is going to turn out for the best.
22:33Are we still talking about Boylus or Vic?
22:36I can't just be her friend, all right?
22:39Anyway, what if that's not what she wants either?
22:42I don't know.
