00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02I think it might be time for some more pain relief.
00:04No, I'm good.
00:05Take drugs.
00:06Call your sponsor. Keep in touch with me.
00:08You can do this. I believe in you.
00:10Drew, I love you and I know you don't believe it right now.
00:12Damn right I don't.
00:14I really miss you and the kids.
00:16The senior doctor. You wanted to take something?
00:18Reward yourself with the hot, exciting, available junior.
00:22I come off worst in all of this.
00:24Yes, you do. This is over.
00:31Thank you, Lila. Glad they behaved themselves.
00:38Right. Grab whatever you need to grab and you can go.
00:42No, we need to talk about this.
00:43I am done talking.
00:46Drew, there are two of us in this relationship.
00:48Really? Sure about that?
00:51I was unhappy and I made a mistake.
00:53Okay, I don't feel sorry for you.
00:55Drew, please, just give us a chance. You can't just make that call.
00:57You have had more than enough chances.
01:00Oh, you haven't.
01:02Everything that we have been through, we've worked it out.
01:06We've built this beautiful family.
01:10People are my favourite people.
01:12You should have thought about our beautiful family before you shaved your subordinates.
01:15All I think about every moment is what an idiot I've been.
01:20But we need to think about the kids.
01:22What about them?
01:24If we're not happy, how on earth are the kids going to be happy?
01:30It's better for them if we just call it.
01:36We don't love each other like we used to.
01:38Drew, I've never loved anyone in my life like I love you.
01:44But if you don't feel the same, then that changes things. Is that what this is?
01:52Yes.
01:54Don't, please, don't say that.
01:57I can't. I can't.
02:01Please, just go.
02:12Hey.
02:13Wow, am I interrupting something?
02:15No, not at all.
02:17We're creating a tranquil space. It's crucial for any journey we take into the human psyche.
02:22Thaddeus has taken me through some guided meditations.
02:25An alternative pain management strategy.
02:28Are you still in pain? Is the morphine not working?
02:31I didn't take them.
02:33Okay. When's your next DNA meeting? Or is this just to tide you over?
02:39Well, this is just something I thought I'd try.
02:41You were stabbed, Thaddeus.
02:43Yeah, I know that. I'm just not going to risk relapsing. I have too much to lose.
02:48And anyway, Thaddeus has some really good suggestions.
02:50Indeed I do. I have some diclofenac gel. I've researched hot and cold therapy.
02:54I've downloaded several potentially useful guided mindfulness meditations.
02:58I went down quite the rabbit hole.
03:01That's really sweet of you.
03:03I'm glad for the distraction. And actually, I'm learning a lot myself, too.
03:07I just don't want you suffering more than you need to.
03:10No, this is the right way to go. I promise.
03:14Hey, whatever you want. Just swear you'll keep telling me what's happening.
03:18Yeah, I promise that, too.
03:20Did you want to join us for the meditation, Esther? Mindfulness is not just for pain relief.
03:25I think I'm good.
03:32Well, are you okay?
03:34Yeah. Actually, I think we're all going to be okay.
03:38What's happening?
03:39Well, it seems that I'm not being charged with anything right now.
03:44What does that mean?
03:46They're not pursuing the case, is what the lawyer said.
03:50What?
03:51That was it. So I guess they're looking in a new direction, or maybe they believe us.
03:56That's not too much to hope for.
03:58Hey, this is a good thing. Aren't you happy?
04:02Yes, of course.
04:04They're just dropping it, even though Louisa is dead.
04:07What would you rather, Cassie?
04:10Come on, lighten up, you two.
04:13I'm just scared.
04:14Yeah.
04:16Well, it's been awful.
04:18Now that it's all over, it feels all a little too good to be true, right?
04:23Right.
04:26Look, I know that what you two went through was horrific,
04:31but now we just need to focus on the positives, yeah?
04:35We're off the hook, okay?
04:37So let's just, I don't know, let's just order some pizza and enjoy it.
04:44Yeah, pizza sounds good.
04:46Okay.
05:03Hey.
05:04Hey.
05:07Can we keep talking?
05:09What else is there to say?
05:11I've got a lot. You know, I want to present my case to you.
05:15You don't give up, do you?
05:17No.
05:19Drew, I was wondering if I could have a chat.
05:22Sorry.
05:24No, it's okay. I, um, need to go check something anyway.
05:29What is it?
05:30I've just been looking at the surgical roster,
05:32and I noticed that my schedule was back.
05:35Well, it's changed.
05:36Is there a reason you shouldn't assist me with the COBG?
05:39No, not at all.
05:40I'm lucky to have such a good surgery, after hernias and biopsies.
05:44Great. Is there anything else?
05:46I'll go prep the patient.
05:53Is everything okay?
05:55Not remotely.
06:01Okay, you know where the nappies are?
06:04Cassie?
06:06Sorry, yeah, nappies, laundry room.
06:09You okay?
06:10Yeah, just a little bit tired. This one was up all night.
06:14Yeah, same here.
06:15Um, Peggy is still asleep.
06:17Could have used that energy at about 3 a.m.
06:19Where are my keys?
06:21Oh.
06:23Here you go.
06:25I'm going to go check on Peggy.
06:27You are an angel.
06:30Hey.
06:31Hey.
06:32How is the pain now? You think pain relief is a good idea?
06:35I'm fine. I really don't want to.
06:37I get it. It's just you were tossing and turning all night.
06:42Um, yeah, I've got a couple hours.
06:45I am proud of you.
06:47I told you I can't.
06:50Okay, sorry.
06:52I have to do this on my own.
06:54Yeah, but it's just, it's hard seeing you like this.
06:57Yeah.
06:58You know, maybe you could try some of 30S's other methods.
07:01Yeah, I've been trying them all morning.
07:04But there are a couple of meditations I haven't tried yet, so I'll keep trying.
07:09Okay.
07:11Thanks.
07:12Um, I was meant to leave about 15 minutes ago.
07:16Where's my phone?
07:18In your hand.
07:19Yes, yes.
07:21I just need coffee.
07:22Cassie is here, so no heavy lifting.
07:23And give me a call if you need anything.
07:26Anything.
07:27I will.
07:30See ya.
07:41What the hell are you doing here?
07:43Uh, honestly, I followed you.
07:45What?
07:46Um, just, you know, thought I need to come clean.
07:50Why?
07:51Because I always want to be honest with you.
07:53No, no, no. Why did you follow me?
07:54Oh, to say thanks.
07:56For what?
07:57You saved my brother's life.
07:59I just did what anyone would've.
08:01Sure.
08:02I won't ask who your brother is, but I hope he's doing okay.
08:05Oh, yeah, he was complaining about the food when I left, so I think he's fine.
08:09That's a good sign.
08:10Yeah, I mean, it could be worse. I'll get him something better when I go home.
08:13Sweet of you.
08:15You look good.
08:18I should go.
08:19Hey, hey, are you sure? I can't take you for a coffee to say thank you.
08:24Like I said, um, I'm just doing my job.
08:28You had help?
08:29Excuse me?
08:30Oh, do you not remember who got those towels to stop the bleeding?
08:34A real professional.
08:35You got me thinking, actually. I might have missed my calling.
08:38You want to be a doctor?
08:39Yeah, if it means I get to spend time with you.
08:42Yeah. You could probably find a few online courses. It only takes a few weeks.
08:47That's what I heard. So is that like a firm no on that second coffee, or...?
08:52Look, Ty, I don't have time for dating right now.
08:55Yeah. Yeah, no. No worries. I'm busy with my online course anyway.
09:06Okay. Trashy or cosy? You name it, I'm in.
09:12Whatever you want.
09:15Everything okay?
09:16Yeah. Um, just a stupid promotional text. I can't even look at my phone without freaking out.
09:22I get you. There's so much bad news you can take.
09:25Um, corny and low effort.
09:28Well, we don't have to watch anything at all. We'd rather just be together.
09:33Maybe I should delete some of this, clear it out. All the bad news.
09:39Could be a good idea. Fresh start.
09:41I am relieved, I promise. It just doesn't feel real.
09:47You know, sometimes good things can happen.
09:52Even to us.
09:54I love you a lot.
09:58So that's one good thing.
10:03Great idea.
10:05You okay?
10:06Sorry. Sorry. Can we maybe just watch the movie?
10:12Yeah. Yeah, of course. Whatever you need. I'll just get us some snacks.
10:34So, your first concert was Vampire Weekend?
10:38Yeah, so?
10:39Nothing, that's just, it's a cool first concert. There's nothing remotely embarrassing about it.
10:45Wait, what was yours?
10:46No.
10:48This life?
10:49Who?
10:51Don't even worry about it.
10:54Are you okay?
10:55Ah, yeah, it's just a cramp.
10:57Um, hey, that's good news about Nicole, right?
11:01Yeah.
11:02You guys must be relieved, yeah?
11:04Yeah, we are.
11:06Um, actually, I might take Picky to the park again before it starts raining.
11:11Oh, okay. Sure.
11:12I'll just go get my things.
11:13Sure. You want a hand?
11:15No, no, that's alright. It's what you're paying me for.
11:17Right.
11:18Hey.
11:19I love you.
11:30I'm coming. Deep breath.
11:46Talk to me. How you feeling?
11:48I'm struggling a bit.
11:50With the pain?
11:51Not yet. I left the morphine tablets here and I can't stop thinking about them.
11:55Well, of course you're tempted.
11:57It's hurting my whole body.
11:59It's much harder when temptation is literally in arm's reach. You have to get rid of those drugs pronto.
12:05Yeah, I will.
12:06Okay, well, I have to go, but do it now?
12:10Text me afterwards.
12:11Okay, thanks, Dad.
12:19No.
12:42Hey, do you have some time tonight?
12:44Yeah, I've had some ideas about streamlining for our trio system.
12:49Yeah, come by my office after lunch.
12:51Oh, thanks.
12:52You can fill me in on that lovely friend of yours from last month.
12:55What?
12:56Oh, come on.
12:57He was just some random.
13:00Right.
13:01Stop.
13:03What's the problem?
13:04There is no problem. He is super lovely and, you know, maybe I did enjoy talking to him, but that's all.
13:12So he didn't ask you out?
13:13Doesn't matter.
13:14And what would be wrong with giving him a chance?
13:17No, I could never take him.
13:19Why not? You know, I haven't heard you express interest in a single person since you got back from Chicago.
13:24I know, but...
13:26Live a little.
13:27Okay, fine. He's cute.
13:30Yeah, he is.
13:31But it would never work.
13:33What do you mean?
13:34Nothing.
13:35Well, it is, clearly.
13:38It's just I don't think his job is exactly legal.
13:43You don't think or you know?
13:46Oh, wow. Okay.
13:48So that's it, really?
13:50I see.
13:51I will forget about him.
13:52You know, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so pushy.
13:54He is really lovely, though.
13:56Well, that doesn't matter, right? It's not worth it.
13:59Anyway, all of this is besides the point. I don't have any time for dating anyway.
14:03And you will find a great somebody when you do pick time.
14:06Don't.
14:13Congratulations.
14:15I'm so pleased for you.
14:16I love you.
14:17Yeah.
14:19It feels weird to be happy, given the circumstances.
14:22Oh, why?
14:23Well, I mean, if someone died accidentally after kidnapping you...
14:29Yeah, it's awful, but God, it could have been so much worse.
14:32Please, tell me what has been going on with you.
14:35Oh, me? Nothing.
14:37Anyway, who cares? I'm here to see you.
14:39I don't mean nothing. It's got to be something, anything.
14:41Make it up if you have to.
14:42Well, I am sorry to disappoint.
14:44Same old, same old, you know?
14:47Patience and me and Drew bickering.
14:50How is Drew?
14:52He is overworked, sniffy.
14:56Falling everything up.
14:58Oh, that's not good.
15:00I haven't been very helpful, though.
15:02I've been really distracted and not there for him.
15:08Harper.
15:09Sorry, I really don't want to bore you with my stupid problems.
15:13No, you can tell us.
15:16I think I think I've ruined it.
15:19Me and Drew.
15:23He wants out.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:27Sorry.
15:28No, wait. Hang on.
15:29Did he actually say that?
15:31No, he doesn't mean it, honey.
15:33He'll be working through his own stuff.
15:36Yeah, Remus and everything else with Boyd.
15:40It's more than that.
15:43I've ruined our marriage.
15:46There is no way.
15:48Yeah, it'll just be a phase.
15:49He'll snap out of it.
15:51I've been trying to get him to do that and it's not working.
15:57Sorry, I'm never...
15:58Hey.
15:59Hey.
16:05You don't have to keep avoiding me.
16:07We've both grown up, so we can act like it.
16:12Got it.
16:23Afternoon.
16:24I just wanted to check in and see how he's doing.
16:27Matty.
16:28I was wondering if you'd heard from him.
16:30When we spoke this morning,
16:31he seemed a bit on edge about not taking the you-know-what.
16:36Oh, one knows about his sobriety.
16:39I certainly do.
16:40Just trying to respect the process.
16:42Is he still having cravings?
16:44And I'd say more than a little anxiety,
16:47which is normal, but he's battling through it like a champ.
16:51Well, thank you, Thaddeus.
16:52I'm glad he's reaching out to such a good friend.
16:54I'm sorry to interrupt your meetings,
16:56but I will continue to check in.
17:00So have you spoken to Matty?
17:02Oh, I've been keeping in touch by text.
17:04Okay.
17:06We're fine, and he's being honest.
17:09So he says?
17:10What?
17:11Yes.
17:12Now is not the time to let your guard down.
17:14Addicts lie, and he's done it before.
17:16Well, I am well aware of the lies my husband has told me,
17:19thank you.
17:20But he's been working hard on himself,
17:22and I'm sure he's doing well.
17:30Jeff!
17:31Are you crazy?
17:32You can't keep showing up here.
17:34You could get us both in trouble.
17:35I know.
17:36I'll be quick.
17:37I just have one question.
17:38Look, I appreciate your persistence,
17:40but I've already told you I do not have time
17:42to get involved with someone right now.
17:44It's about Leo.
17:45Oh.
17:46Yeah, he's got a fever.
17:48They reckon it's an infection.
17:50They put him on some antibiotics.
17:51It's on my phone.
17:53Metronidazole.
17:55Is that bad?
17:56No, it's not bad.
17:57But he's in a hospital somewhere, right?
18:00Sure.
18:01Metronidazole is a common antibiotic,
18:03and what it sounds like is a complication they've caught early.
18:07I'm sure Leo will be fine.
18:09I just haven't had a great run of doctors,
18:11and that's my little bro in there, you know?
18:13Yeah.
18:14I could make some calls, check in,
18:17but I'd need to know which hospital.
18:19I don't think that's a good idea.
18:21Not that I don't trust you.
18:23Good to hear.
18:25So I don't want to take up any more of your working day.
18:29I know you're busy.
18:31I think it's actually better if you hang out with me in your spare time.
18:34You know, it's more efficient that way.
18:35Interesting logic.
18:37Yeah.
18:38So one drink.
18:40One drink.
18:42Yes, sir?
18:43You're home early.
18:44Ah, moved a few times around.
18:46So I guess...
18:48Free to go.
18:49Awesome.
18:50And I just put down Piki,
18:51so you should have some time before she wakes up.
18:53Thanks, Emilian.
18:55Can you get home?
18:57Oh, no.
18:58I mean, yeah, I have some things to do.
19:01Well, you can bring Nox every time, you know.
19:03Oh, thanks.
19:04That's really nice.
19:05See you tomorrow.
19:06Bye.
19:07Bye.
19:08Bye.
19:09That's really nice.
19:10See you tomorrow.
19:11Thanks, Cassie.
19:14Oh, uh, wait.
19:15Yeah?
19:16I need to get you some cash.
19:17Oh, no, that's okay.
19:18No rush.
19:19Bye, Marty.
19:20Oh, see ya.
19:21Thanks.
19:23That was weird.
19:25What was?
19:26You being home early?
19:27I took the afternoon off.
19:29What have you done with my wife?
19:30I thought it would be good to have some phonic time in.
19:32Daddy has said you're caught.
19:34Yeah.
19:35And that you had some cravings.
19:38I did, yeah.
19:39But he was great.
19:40He took me off the ledge.
19:41And his breathing strategies really worked.
19:43I feel way better.
19:44Amazing.
19:45Yeah.
19:46I'm pretty proud of myself for not caving.
19:48Well, I think you've been right about all of it.
19:50And the morphine pills, I don't think we should have them in the house.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Daddy has said the same.
19:55Been in this morning.
19:56Good for you.
19:59I'll get her.
20:09I'll get her.
20:21I didn't see that coming, Harper and Drew.
20:23Yeah.
20:24What do you think happened?
20:26What do you mean?
20:27She didn't seem cagey to you?
20:30Not everything is a deep, dark secret.
20:32You okay?
20:33No, of course I'm not okay.
20:36Sorry.
20:37My God.
20:38I'm sorry.
20:40I just can't shake it.
20:42Every little noise and I feel like the police are coming to take me away again.
20:46It's over, Nick.
20:47We can't know that.
20:48We can.
20:49Honey, you're home.
20:51You're safe.
20:52Louisa can't hurt you anymore.
20:54She has ruined everything.
20:57And it's okay to be angry.
20:59But she is gone.
21:00Baby, we can all move on.
21:02Yeah, I'm not talking about Louisa.
21:04Okay, what?
21:05It's just difficult, don't you think?
21:07I mean, we can only control ourselves so much,
21:10let alone the two extra kids that we're raising.
21:14And doesn't it all feel like too much?
21:16Nicole.
21:17I can't hear myself, okay?
21:19So just don't respond.
21:20You couldn't possibly make me feel worse.
21:27Yeah, can you chip your nose?
21:28I told you I'm fine.
21:30No cravings or cramps, nausea?
21:34What is this, a doctor's appointment?
21:36Well, I'm just surprised at how relaxed you are after this morning.
21:41Well, like I said, Thaddeus' strategies actually worked.
21:46Okay, I'm sorry, but I snooped.
21:48What?
21:49I checked the bin.
21:50The drugs you said you put in there, they're not there.
21:52Okay, well, I don't know what to tell you.
21:54They must have been under something or something.
21:56If you talk to him, it's okay.
21:57We can figure it out.
21:58Just tell me.
22:00I didn't take the pills.
22:01Please don't do this.
22:02Please don't lie to me.
22:03I just want to help you.
22:05Babe, I'm not...
22:07You know what?
22:08I'm not going to argue with you about this.
22:10Okay, so suddenly you're not having withdrawals,
22:13and you're defensive, and I ask you about it.
22:15Well, it's actually pretty rational to be defensive
22:17when you're being accused of something you didn't do.
22:20I threw the drugs away.
22:22I promised I was going to be honest with you,
22:24and I haven't broken that promise.
22:26But I need you to hold up your end of this and trust me.
22:29Yeah, it's just...
22:30That's the only way this is going to work, babe.
22:33Okay.
22:35I'm sorry.
22:37Okay.
