00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Sign our petition.
00:04There's been a campaign to shut down the Boylusk event,
00:06and it's started by the Ireni Rising residents.
00:08It's just this connection.
00:10You were too wrapped up in your own ego
00:12to even hear the truth about what happened with Quinn.
00:14I bet the names of some marriage counsellors.
00:16Worth a shot.
00:18You always know exactly what to say to me,
00:20in a way that makes me very aware
00:22of what I'm missing out on.
00:24And I hope that you have many years of writing pleasure.
00:26I know that Mike and I were over a while ago,
00:28but this feels like a full stop.
00:58Neighbours,
01:00need to have good friends.
01:10Alright, so I have narrowed it down to either
01:12New Horizon or Destiny Blue.
01:14Hmm?
01:16Myron? Hmm?
01:18What's the new colour for the cabinets? You can't tell by the name, you need to look.
01:20Oh, sorry Mum, it's just that Dad's money
01:22just dropped into our account.
01:24I really didn't think he was going to come through after last time.
01:26I know.
01:28Always a surprise when your father does the right thing.
01:30Anyway, the colour.
01:32Hmm?
01:34Yeah, the colour.
01:36I don't even know why you're repaying it.
01:38I quite like the lilac.
01:40Thank you very much, very helpful.
01:42What about...
01:44Oh, now who's distracted by their phone?
01:48No, it's Carl.
01:50He's been browsing the online classifiers
01:52and he's come across this.
01:54It's Mike's bike.
01:56Yeah, back up for sale.
01:58So?
02:00They're trying to sell it for more
02:02than they paid me, absolute gold.
02:04Well, it's their bike now Mum,
02:06they can do with it what they want.
02:10That number look familiar.
02:14Let me check.
02:18I think that's
02:20Vic's number.
02:24He's done it to me again.
02:26He has scammed me
02:28into selling him Mike's bike.
02:34I know things have been
02:36tense at home lately.
02:38I'll be okay.
02:40I just want everything to go back to normal.
02:44I can't believe I'm saying it but
02:46I miss you guys
02:48being all loved up
02:50and embarrassing.
02:52Even in public.
02:54Yeah, we want that too.
02:56Which is why we're going
02:58to a therapy session today.
03:00That's so great!
03:02Yeah, I mean
03:04it's a good first step.
03:06Anyway, we just want you to know that
03:08we're committed to
03:10trying.
03:12I know.
03:14And I don't
03:16say it enough.
03:18But I love you guys.
03:20I love you too.
03:22I need to go to work.
03:24Good luck.
03:26Bye.
03:30I'll fix out the belt.
03:38Thanks.
03:44Maybe when the money hits their account
03:46the kids might be more inclined to take my word.
03:48He's hoping.
03:52I feel like I crossed a line before.
03:54It's fine.
03:56No, it's not.
03:58The last thing
04:00I want is things to be difficult between us.
04:04I just think
04:06if we're going to be friends then we need to be really
04:08careful with... Overstepping boundaries.
04:10Yeah, I agree.
04:12I'm sorry.
04:14Let's sit nearby
04:16the coffee stand.
04:24Here.
04:26I can't believe that I fell for it.
04:28Fell for what?
04:30Don't insult me, Vic.
04:32You bought Mike's bike
04:34anonymously for the sole purpose of
04:36selling it again for a profit.
04:38No, Jane, that's not... This is exactly the kind of
04:40underhanded trick that I should have expected from you.
04:42And to think that I was actually
04:44starting to buy your redemption act.
04:46And that I was silly enough to
04:48convince our children to accept
04:50your guilt money.
04:52No, I don't want to hear this.
04:54As far as I'm concerned, you can take your
04:56unethical profit and...
04:58Because I will not believe
05:00a single word that comes out of your mouth again.
05:02Look, we are not cancelling
05:04vote laps.
05:06I'm not suggesting you do.
05:08Sorry, could you just make sure that that doesn't run in anyone's way?
05:10I'm sorry, I've just worked too hard
05:12and put too much energy into organising it.
05:14Plus the effort it's taken to get the performances
05:16sorted are not a scratch.
05:18Yeah, but if the petition gets enough signatures,
05:20you might need a contingency.
05:22No. Look, there's no contingency.
05:24I'm not going to sign it.
05:26I'm not going to sign it.
05:28I'm not going to sign it.
05:30No. Look, there's no contingency.
05:32Okay? If the event fails,
05:34then it means that Paul was right all along
05:36and I can just see his face when he rubs it in.
05:38Okay, so what do we do?
05:40Burn the petition?
05:42I'm kidding. We can't burn
05:44the petition.
05:48What about this?
05:50This applies
05:52to Felix's magic act.
05:54Oh.
05:56Oh.
06:02So how do you guys want to play this?
06:04Very carefully, please.
06:06So how long is it meant to take for the ink to vanish?
06:08Well, Felix was going to use the pens at the beginning of the night
06:10and then reveal the trick right before the finale,
06:12so it should be long enough.
06:14Okay, do you want me to do it?
06:16No, no. I got this.
06:24Oh, yes.
06:26Good night.
06:32Disgusting!
06:34I'm going to lock you down now.
06:40Aaron.
06:48Thanks for getting us in so quickly.
06:50Oh, anything for friends of Remy?
06:52So,
06:54what's brought you here today?
06:56I wanted to... Well, we've recently...
06:58Oh, no, don't worry.
07:00A lot of couples find it hard to start.
07:02We'll find our way.
07:04Together.
07:08Well, it's me, really.
07:10I recently started going to uni
07:12and felt like a total outsider,
07:14so I started pretending to be like
07:16everyone else. You know, younger
07:18and funkier and...
07:20Helpless and single.
07:22Yeah, but I only did that because
07:24of how I...
07:26I've always been insecure about fitting in.
07:28And then
07:30when I came across
07:32racism again at uni,
07:34a friend
07:36made me realise that I wasn't the one
07:38with the problem.
07:40A friend?
07:42Quinn.
07:44Quinn.
07:48Stop punishing yourself.
07:50How can I?
07:52I mean, she's taking it
07:54completely the wrong way. What you tried
07:56to do for Jane was genuine.
07:58You tried to help
08:00her with something that she said
08:02was painful for her.
08:04Maybe you should have just
08:06been honest and offered to
08:08sell the bike from the start.
08:10She would never have lent me.
08:12Well, if you knew that, why did you do it anyway
08:14behind her back? Because...
08:20I feel like it's my fault that Jane and Mike
08:22broke up.
08:24That's
08:26just not true.
08:28Well, Jane denied it, but
08:30I gave her a list of home truths
08:32and then splitsville.
08:34I overstepped.
08:36And now I want to do
08:38whatever I can to make things less painful for her.
08:43You need to tell her.
08:45I can't.
08:47Beak, she needs to know.
08:49It's my fault that Jane doesn't trust me.
08:51She thinks I scammed her because of this.
08:55That's my trade record.
08:59You reap what you sow.
09:03Anyway, thanks for listening.
09:06I head back to the hotel.
09:12I don't even know
09:14why I'm surprised.
09:16This is exactly the kind of trick
09:18that I should have expected from Vic.
09:20It is textbook, Vic.
09:22Maybe it would be better if you didn't find out about this.
09:24No, believe me, I'm glad that I did.
09:26It's weird he only marked it up
09:28by ten percent, though.
09:30Weird how?
09:32Well, like I said,
09:34it's my fault that Jane didn't trust me.
09:36I gave her a list of home truths
09:38and then splitsville.
09:40Weird how?
09:42Well, like if he was trying to make a profit,
09:44ten percent isn't really enough for all the hustle it's worth.
09:48I've long given up trying to figure out
09:50how my ex-husband's money-grubbing mind works.
09:52I'm just saying.
09:56I should have just taken a leaf out of your books
09:58and just kept my distance.
10:00From now on,
10:02that's exactly what I'm going to do.
10:04I'm not saying you're lying,
10:06but maybe you made a mistake.
10:08I didn't make a mistake.
10:18So strange.
10:20Moira swore she had four pages full of signatures.
10:22Four pages? Seriously?
10:24Yeah, that's really weird.
10:26I mean, where could they have gone?
10:28So strange.
10:30Why would she even give you the petition?
10:32Well, apparently she wasted a whole day,
10:34her ankles are sore, and I tuned out after the rest.
10:38Hey, getting rid of that petition was huge.
10:40Sam, you're a genius.
10:42I don't know.
10:46Maybe now we can hear from you, Andrew.
10:48How do you feel about your relationship?
10:56I feel like I just...
10:58Yeah, I don't mean as much to Wendy as I used to.
11:02Like she's outgrowing me.
11:04Can you explain that?
11:10Neither of us have ever had a connection with anyone else before.
11:14Now Wendy has.
11:16It's a massive shift.
11:18No.
11:20It was never about Quinn, though, Andrew.
11:22I explained that.
11:24It was about finding my identity.
11:26Yeah, I get that.
11:28I know that I don't share a culture with you guys.
11:32But I'm adopted and I know what it's like to feel
11:34like you don't belong.
11:38I wanted to go on this journey with you,
11:40even if it was with Quinn.
11:42But then you left me behind.
11:44So the pants are in twos and the front just rips off like that.
11:46Of course they do.
11:48Whoa!
11:50And you are showing us because...
11:52Because I need to test the limits of the pants.
11:54Oh!
11:56Did you see that?
11:58If I move too fast...
12:00Oh, he might go off a bit too early.
12:02Oh, nobody likes that.
12:04No, I'm serious.
12:06That's what I'm saying.
12:08I'm serious.
12:10I'm serious.
12:12No, I'm serious.
12:14This could make or break the show.
12:16So you're not wearing anything under there right now?
12:18No, I'm not.
12:20On the night, I will be, but right now
12:22it's just about testing out the limits of the pants.
12:24Hey, I'll tell you what game we could play, Aaron,
12:26that would really test that out for you.
12:28Twister!
12:30Yeah, that's not going to happen.
12:32Trent, hey.
12:34No, no, no.
12:36Okay, just don't touch anything.
12:38Just turn the lines off and I'll be there soon.
12:40Okay.
12:42I have to fix a keg line at work.
12:44Aaron, how is that your responsibility?
12:46Because Wendy's at counselling. Trent's got no idea what he's doing.
12:48You're a bit fast!
12:56Only me.
12:58Hope I'm not interrupting.
13:00Oh, hi Melanie. What can I do for you?
13:02Your family politics have
13:04nothing to do with me.
13:06But if I were in your shoes,
13:08you'd know the truth.
13:10This is about Vic.
13:12Vic did buy Mike's bike
13:14through a third party.
13:16But he paid the full
13:18asking price because he knew that
13:20you wanted a quick sale.
13:22He knew that it was hard for you.
13:26I don't know what Vic's told you, but that is not why
13:28he bought Mike's bike.
13:30He feels responsible for you and Mike breaking up.
13:32All he did was bring
13:34existing issues to a head.
13:36He was trying to take
13:38some of the weight off your shoulders.
13:42Did he also tell you
13:44that he has listed it for more than
13:46what he paid me?
13:48Not for profit.
13:50Only as a buffer.
13:52In case the new buyer tries to haggle.
13:54Vic only wants what he paid
13:56for it. Anything above and beyond
13:58that, he'll pass on to you.
14:00He said that?
14:02Well,
14:06I suppose he did just give the kids
14:08$100,000.
14:10I know you two
14:12have a complicated history.
14:14And I know he's done things that
14:16he regrets. But this
14:18was well-meaning.
14:20Why are you here
14:22defending him?
14:24Well, after that first time that we
14:26met at the waterhole, I bumped
14:28into him a few times.
14:30He feels like his family
14:32have pretty much disowned him.
14:34I've just been a friendly ear.
14:52That's disgusting!
14:54No, no, hey!
14:56Come on! Don't do that!
14:58No, don't do that!
15:00Come on!
15:02Sorry!
15:04Just get me inside!
15:08Ah, here he is.
15:10Good thing you keep your gym bag at work.
15:12Wendy sorted the keg line.
15:14Thanks.
15:16And for all your help out there.
15:18Look,
15:20I don't want to know why or how, but
15:22Moira was headed straight to the station.
15:24Oh, great.
15:26Yep.
15:28How about you? How did your counselling go?
15:32There was a lot of truth bombs.
15:34Mainly from Wendy.
15:36A bit hard opening up in front of
15:38a stranger?
15:40No, it's not that.
15:42I had stuff to say.
15:44But I just didn't think
15:46Wendy was ready to hear it.
15:50I still can't trust her.
15:52And I don't know how to change that.
15:54Hold on, isn't this the whole
15:56reason you're going to counselling?
15:58How do I know
16:00she's not hiding things in those sessions too?
16:02I only
16:04have her word that nothing happened between
16:06her and Quinn.
16:12Come in.
16:18Surprised to get you a message.
16:20You should have told me
16:22about the bike sale.
16:26Well,
16:28would you have let me sell it for you if I had?
16:30It's beside the point, Vic.
16:32And you know it.
16:34You're right. I'm sorry.
16:38Why do you always do these things?
16:40Again and again.
16:44Guilt.
16:46Contrition.
16:48I should never have written that letter.
16:50I hate that you and Mike broke up
16:52and the role I played in that.
16:54The role that you played?
16:56You did us both a favour.
17:00Mike and I had been living in denial for months.
17:02We were lying to ourselves
17:04that our marriage was ever going to work
17:06and your letter was just the push I needed
17:08to do what had to be done.
17:12Is that what Mike thinks?
17:14Yes, he does.
17:20I don't need your thanks, Vic.
17:22I need your honesty.
17:26But for what it's worth,
17:28I do appreciate you taking on the bike sale.
17:30It's something that I really wasn't
17:32looking forward to.
17:34We've already had some interest, so we should sell again soon.
17:40Are you seriously going to do
17:42all that painting with that tiny brush?
17:46I wanted to do a good job.
17:48You'll be here for months.
17:52Move over.
18:04Well,
18:06sounds like Andrew really saved your butt.
18:08Literally, Nick.
18:12No, but seriously,
18:14where was Moira from?
18:16Moira went straight to the police station
18:18to make a complaint.
18:20Nick, I'm going to be in a bit of strife for this.
18:22Look, they're going to be picketing
18:24out the front of Boylusk on the day.
18:26Chrissa, I am so sorry.
18:28It's okay.
18:30They were always going to find a reason.
18:32I mean, it's not a bad thing.
18:36Free publicity?
18:38That's the spirit.
18:40Yeah, there's more than enough people around here
18:42to fill the venue, right?
18:44You know what, this could actually get people through the door.
18:46Yeah, exactly.
18:48Right, we're going to turn this negative into a positive.
18:54You alright, Dad?
18:56Yeah, just running through
18:58some stuff in my head.
19:00Got the counselling?
19:02If you don't want to talk about it, that's so fine.
19:04No, no, don't be silly.
19:06You should be able to ask about that stuff whenever you like.
19:08Well, how'd it go?
19:10I think your mum and I got something out of it.
19:12That's a start.
19:14I was thinking of
19:16doing something nice for her.
19:18Maybe roping in her uni mates.
19:20She'd like that.
19:22Have you got Parker's number? I'll start with him.
19:24Yeah, I think so.
19:26Yeah, here you go.
19:28I'll send it to you now.
19:30Great.
19:32Anyway, it's my shout outside,
19:34but I'm glad it went well.
19:36Thanks.
19:38Hey Parker,
19:40it's Andrew,
19:42Wendy's husband.
19:44Yeah, yeah, good, good, good.
19:46Hey, I was just thinking of
19:48organising a little get-together for Wendy.
19:50Yeah, could you
19:52send me through the numbers of all her uni mates?
19:54Like James and Mika.
19:56Quinn.
19:58Yeah, just text
20:00them through now, that'd be great.
20:02Alright, thanks Parker. See you soon.
20:08Music
20:22I do not
20:24know how you put up with this
20:26hideous colour for so long.
20:28Now that is rich.
20:30Coming from a man who wore
20:32geometric patterned knits for a decade
20:34after they went out of style.
20:36I did not love those geometric patterns.
20:38I did not love those geometric patterns.
20:40You wanted one yourself.
20:42What's all this?
20:44Oh, I was wrong.
20:46Wait,
20:48should I be recording this?
20:50I misunderstood what your father was trying to do
20:52with Mike's bike, but we worked everything out.
20:54Everything, just like that?
20:56No, we've been
20:58talking most of the afternoon.
21:00Yeah, been painting.
21:02Speaking of, you've got a
21:04spot on your nose.
21:06Have I? I can't see anything.
21:08Really?
21:10How about now?
21:12Honestly,
21:14how old are you?
21:16A bit too.
21:18I've got
21:20these tiny brushes are good for something.
21:22Yeah, get a bit more on you.
21:24Fight to the paint then. Alright.
21:26Lay down your weapon. Yes, come on.
21:28I can't believe you just did that.
21:30A bit.
21:32Alright.
21:44What are you doing here?
21:46I spoke to your mum.
21:48She told you to stay away.
21:50Sadie, I promise I'm not trying to get between your parents.
21:52The only reason I spoke to Wendy
21:54was because your dad asked to meet me here.
21:56And I thought she should know.
21:58She was so mad.
22:02What have you done?
22:10Coming up on Neighbours.
22:12Kara's been talking about having another baby.
22:14She says it's just a dream, but
22:16I don't know.
22:18I'm really happy to see you, but what are you doing here?
22:20Is everything okay? How do I fix this?
22:22Because if I don't, then Dad's just
22:24going to make things worse and if that keeps happening
22:26then my family's going to fall apart.
