00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I just need a place to crash.
00:04I just think Felix is a super annoying person,
00:06but if you want him there 24-7, that is up to you.
00:09I tried some of the exercises in your book.
00:11I can help you out if you want.
00:12If I see you wagging again, I'm going to go straight to your parents.
00:15Was that your first proper conversation with him?
00:17If you can call it that, yeah.
00:19The fertility clinic got us a late appointment tonight,
00:21if you're still interested.
00:22I am if you are.
00:24I don't think I can go into work.
00:26I feel nauseous.
00:28What's going on?
00:31Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:43You can find the perfect blend
00:49Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:59Should be there for good friends
01:11Noel.
01:12Sweetheart, what are you doing here?
01:19Have you been drinking again?
01:21No, of course not.
01:24This isn't what it looks like.
01:26I was just...
01:28about to have a glass of wine.
01:32No.
01:34I was tempted.
01:37I promise you, I haven't had a drop.
01:42Really?
01:44Really.
01:46You called me just in time.
01:53Hi, bud.
01:54Hi.
01:57Hey, did you get a chance to look at all that programming course stuff I sent you?
02:02Oh, yeah, I did.
02:03It was really cool.
02:05Does that mean you'll do it?
02:09Yeah, I mean...
02:11Now I can give you all my best study tips.
02:13Do you want me to change my mind?
02:16Susan.
02:18Oh, hi.
02:19Hi.
02:20I dropped by on Therese this morning.
02:22Oh, how was she?
02:23Honestly, a bit off.
02:24She did say she had a migraine, though.
02:26Oh, that's probably why she didn't open the door when I called over before.
02:29Yeah, probably.
02:30She said she was pretty nauseous when I saw her.
02:32And she looked wiped.
02:34Yeah.
02:35Well, thanks for keeping me in the loop.
02:36I'll check in again later.
02:37Yeah, okay, okay.
02:45Awkward.
02:49Sorry about that.
02:57Why can't he just get a coffee from where he works?
03:01We can't exile him to the tramp forever.
03:20This exercise is stupid.
03:22How am I supposed to hold my breath for so long?
03:24Thought you were waiting for me.
03:26I just wanted to give it another go.
03:27I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
03:29You're not using your diaphragm, are you?
03:32Here, come with me.
03:38Feel that muscle.
03:40Pull it in when you breathe out.
03:46Breathe in.
03:49Tighten and hold.
03:52Breathe out.
03:57Easier?
03:59Yeah.
04:01You got this.
04:06What's going on here?
04:08Um, I just had a bad customer.
04:11Right, Felix?
04:13Yeah, really rude.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Are you here about the broken apple post machine?
04:16Yes, I just spoke to the bank.
04:18Unfortunately, we won't be back online until tomorrow.
04:21Okay, so are we cash only for the rest of the day?
04:23Yeah, is that a problem?
04:25It works for me.
04:27Hey, guys.
04:28Um, Felix, have you got a sec?
04:30We've had a bit of a snag with the show.
04:32What, if I take five?
04:33Yeah, yeah, of course.
04:34Are you sure you don't need any extra performers?
04:37I've got some ideas.
04:38Come.
04:39Thank you, but I don't think Aaron's brick and handle
04:41that much excitement again.
04:44I'm here if you need me.
04:46I know.
04:47Too much along.
04:56Hey.
05:01Everything's just been really difficult lately.
05:05Especially since your father took you and Hugo away.
05:10I'm so sorry.
05:11No, it's not your fault.
05:13Just, I just miss you so much.
05:17I miss you too.
05:20And I've been trying not to let everything get to me.
05:26And I've just, I've been feeling so isolated and alone.
05:32I just couldn't do it anymore.
05:35Is this the first time you've thought about drinking?
05:42Um, no.
05:46But it's the first time that I've come close to giving in to the urge.
05:55I hate seeing you like this.
05:58Please, don't worry about me.
06:02This was just a little slip up.
06:05And seeing you has made me realise how important it is to stay sober.
06:12I'll get rid of the bottle and I'll start going to AA meetings again.
06:16Whatever it takes.
06:18So there's no need to tell anyone what you saw today, okay?
06:25Okay, okay, whoever finishes this lap first has to make me a snack.
06:28What?
06:30You just won!
06:32Boys! Homework!
06:34But I did it at school.
06:35Sweet, since you've already finished you can help me with mine.
06:38There you go.
06:39Come here.
06:40Fine, I'll go get my stuff.
06:45Oh, hey, great news.
06:47I can start work a little late, which means I can come to your fertility test with you tonight.
06:52Great.
06:53Hey, it's going to be okay, you don't need to be nervous.
06:57It's not that, I'm actually just a bit worried about money.
07:01Oh?
07:02Well, fertility treatments can add up and kids aren't exactly cheap.
07:07Yeah, but I mean I know it was tough last time, but we're in a very different position to when we had the boys.
07:13I'm actually talking more about Dex's course.
07:16The upfront fee is really pricey and then there's all these ongoing costs.
07:20And then the home insurance has just gone up, rego, interest rates.
07:24Okay, so we'll tighten our belts a bit.
07:26I mean, I know cashflow's not ideal, but it's an important one for Dexy.
07:34I still think you should tell someone.
07:39I can't.
07:41It's too humiliating.
07:44What about Susan? She's your sponsor, right? She'd understand.
07:47No, she works for me.
07:48There has to be someone else.
07:52Nell, I've already let you down today.
07:54And myself, I couldn't stand letting anyone else down as well.
07:58I should probably go.
08:01Hey, why aren't you in Colac anyway?
08:06I wanted to see you and JJ.
08:09Dad doesn't know.
08:13How is he?
08:15He's found a good man.
08:16How is he?
08:17He's found a counsellor in Colac.
08:20He's doing really well.
08:24I don't think he'd be too happy about you sneaking off.
08:27Yeah, well I thought it was worth the risk.
08:31I'll tell you what, you keep my secret, I'll keep yours. Deal?
08:41Deal.
08:47First a petition, now a picket. These two really haven't been there, Bonnet, have they?
08:50I know, and Krista has tried everything to try and talk them down, but they just will not have a bar of it.
08:56Don't worry, it'll take more than a picket line to stop Boyle-esque.
09:00So, have you found a way to stop this protest yet?
09:02We are working on it.
09:03Aaron, the event is tomorrow evening.
09:05Yes, I'm very aware of this.
09:07Alright.
09:08Well, seeing as you can't get the situation under control, I'd better take matters into my own hands.
09:11No, hey, hold on. I don't have to do that.
09:13I don't have to do that.
09:16Things seem to be going well here.
09:19They are.
09:20Yeah?
09:21Yeah.
09:22I know there was a little bit of tension between you and Felix at the beginning, that seems to have resolved itself.
09:28Yeah, things are good. He's actually been a lot more helpful than I expected.
09:35Good. Great lot of help you've been.
09:38Oh, sorry, I just had something on my mind.
09:41What?
09:43Do you think me and Mara are doing okay? Like, financially?
09:46Oh, well, I don't think they're rich, but I don't think we'll be living off baked beans anytime soon either.
09:52Why?
09:54I'm worried they can't afford my course.
09:56Are you trying to get out of it?
09:58No, I just don't want to put pressure on them because of it.
10:02Well, you saw how happy they were when you said you'd do it, even if they weren't trying to play it off cool.
10:07Well, they should never play poker then.
10:10I might get a snack.
10:11Do you want anything?
10:12Uh, bags.
10:22Finally, my turn.
10:25What? I thought you were in the process of going. What are you doing here?
10:29Um, I have a favor I need to ask.
10:33Sure.
10:34Can you keep an eye on Therese for me?
10:37Why?
10:38Um, it's just that I think she's really lonely and, you know, you see her all the time,
10:44so I thought maybe you could tell me if something's not right.
10:48Sorry, so do you want me to spy on Therese for you?
10:51No, I just want you to look out for her. Please.
10:57Sure, yeah, if that's really important to you.
10:59It is.
11:03You're the best. I should go.
11:09Oh, I just wanted to check that you hadn't gotten any worse.
11:12I'm better now.
11:13Oh, gee, that's good. That's a quick recovery.
11:16Yeah, well, lucky me.
11:20So, was there anything else?
11:22Uh, yeah, I just wondered if you'd like to go to Boylesque together tomorrow night?
11:27Oh, no, no. I was planning on giving Matt a wide berth.
11:32Are you sure? I think it's important that Irenia Rising show support for such a worthy cause.
11:37Well, we did. We made a donation.
11:39Yeah, let's hope Laura and Hilary never find out about that.
11:44Oh, Therese, come on. Come out. It'll be fun.
11:50Better than sitting around an empty house.
11:54All right, fine. Cut me in.
11:59Well, hey, seeing JJ defend Felix today was a bit of an eye-opener.
12:03Yeah, we did too good a job at keeping that kid polite.
12:08It just seems that somewhere inside JJ there's still a hurt boy who just wants to get to know Felix.
12:14Seems that at some point he's going to want to connect with him, and that might be sooner rather than later.
12:19Yeah, well, I'm not looking forward to that day.
12:22Whenever that is, we've got to do things differently.
12:27Trying to keep those two apart just makes more problems than it solves.
12:31Sometimes I wish you were a little less wise, Remy. Let me think about it.
12:37Yeah, yeah, of course.
12:40I should be focusing on your report.
12:45Yeah, hey. Thanks for being here.
12:49As if I'd miss it. This is really exciting.
12:53I'm trying not to get my hopes up until we get the results back.
12:57Might be all a bust.
12:58Whatever happens, we're in it together.
13:12Felix! Felix! Open up, it's me!
13:28Holly? What's going on?
13:31The breathing isn't working. Nothing's working. I feel like I'm going to be sick.
13:35Alright, slow down.
13:37I don't know what to do.
13:39We'll try together. Come stand.
13:47Give me your arm.
13:52I'll get the iPhone.
13:59Thanks.
14:06Calling in all night, I won't speed up the test results.
14:09I just wanted to talk to you.
14:12I've been thinking about what you said. About JJ and Felix.
14:16And?
14:20Even though I hate it, you were right. We did mess things up last time.
14:26OK, what do you want to do about it?
14:28Try and exist in the same space.
14:32I hate to admit it, but we wouldn't have JJ without him.
14:36Proud of you.
14:39I don't know how I'm actually going to do it.
14:43Just looking at the guy makes me want to lose it.
14:48Maybe you just need some exposure therapy.
14:52What does that mean?
14:54It means tomorrow we're going to have breakfast at the tram.
15:07Better now?
15:10Heaps.
15:13I just wish I could do it on my own. I didn't know breathing was so difficult.
15:19Yeah, it takes a bit of practice. You'll get there.
15:24Thanks for being so nice to me. Especially after I was such a prat.
15:33Oh, I'm in no position to judge.
15:43Maybe it's time you stopped hiding. What you're going through. And lent on your people.
15:50No, I couldn't do that. They'd think that I was going crazy.
15:56No, they wouldn't. Because you're not.
15:59It feels like I am.
16:03You've been through a lot of trauma. And that usually comes with a pretty hefty price tag.
16:11You talk to your dad?
16:13No. No way.
16:16Why not?
16:17Why not? He's a dude. And he clearly loves the heck out of you.
16:26I'm always disappointing him.
16:31I make really bad decisions. I hurt people.
16:37It would be so selfish if I asked for help now.
16:44I just wish I could be a better person.
16:48Like you.
16:51I'm far from perfect.
16:53Yeah, but you're trying.
16:58Well, you can't start making better decisions until you forgive yourself.
17:04And that's step one. And it's hard. But it's worth it.
17:09It's worth it.
17:16You sure you're okay staying here?
17:20I'm just grateful to have a roof over my head.
17:24Yeah, but it's not exactly homey.
17:27Yeah, it's all I can really afford right now. But I'm working on that.
17:40Ah, Susan, you haven't seen Therese, have you?
17:44Not today, no. Why?
17:47I've got a couple of Lassiter's Day spa vouchers for Moira and Hilary. Just thought you might be able to pass them on.
17:52Oh, very generous of you.
17:54No, just a bit of gentle persuasion to help stop them picketing outside the boiler house.
17:59Oh, sounds more like a bribe to me.
18:02No, it's just sound business sense.
18:05Well, let me pass them along. I work at Irene as well.
18:07Oh, no, no, no. I don't want to put you out. No.
18:10Oh, trust me, Paul. Moira and Hilary will find me at some point today to complain about something. It is no trouble.
18:17All right, thanks. So they do the trick, eh?
18:20Yeah.
18:32Hey, look, you can stay.
18:34I was just about to go.
18:35Ah, I want to break the rules again.
18:37Ah, about that. Felix, thanks for not telling my mother you saw him at Nell.
18:42Yeah.
18:44I said I wouldn't.
18:46I just wasn't sure if you should keep your word.
18:48Well, you have to keep yours now too, right? No more skipping school when your girlfriend's in town.
18:52I know. I won't have to again.
18:54Good.
18:56So does this mean we're all square now?
18:59Speak for yourself. I'm pretty cool.
19:01Oh, not if you crack jokes like that.
19:04All right, I better get going now.
19:07Oh, um, thanks again.
19:10Anytime.
19:16Okay, well, thanks for letting me know. Yeah, great, thanks. Bye.
19:21The courier company swears that Moira's box of wine was full when it got here,
19:25which obviously means a bottle was taken after it was delivered.
19:28Which means it was taken by someone from here.
19:30That seems so unlikely, but yeah, that's what it's looking like.
19:33Moira is not going to be happy.
19:35Between this and the picketing, she has turned out to be quite a handful.
19:40Hmm.
19:42Hey. Hmm?
19:45You wouldn't want to update Moira for me, would you? Go on.
19:49She's already given me an ear bashing this week.
19:52As much as I'd like to. I'm needed at the tram.
19:56Suspiciously convenient.
19:57As much as I'd like to. I'm needed at the tram.
19:59Suspiciously convenient timing.
20:01All right, well, I'm back in the firing line.
20:04Perhaps those vouchers from Paul will help ease the blow.
20:07Yeah.
20:08Good luck.
20:09Thanks.
20:21Are we really doing this?
20:22Yep.
20:24We need to get better at being around Felix for JJ's sake.
20:28Yeah, I know, but saying that is one thing.
20:30Actually doing it is a whole other ballgame.
20:34I wasn't expecting to see you guys here.
20:37Yeah, well, we thought we'd try something other than Harold's.
20:41Who knows? We might come back more often.
20:45Right, well, work out your order and pop in when you're ready.
20:52Thanks.
20:58See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
21:00Jury's still out on that one, but this is for JJ.
21:03So I'll stay the course.
21:07Did you get any sleep last night?
21:09Yeah, thanks to you.
21:11Do any more about talking to your old man?
21:13That's not right.
21:16Hey, did you accurately record all the sales yesterday?
21:20Yeah, of course. Why?
21:22Reconciliation, and the amount banked is different from the sales.
21:26It's $300 different.
21:28Yeah, I know, $300 out. It came in after Felix banked the rest.
21:31It should be in an envelope next to the till.
21:33I'm going to take it on the next bank drop.
21:35Right.
21:39Well, there's nothing here.
21:47Well, then somebody's taken it.
21:49Well, no.
21:51No one's been near the till except for us.
21:55Well, it wasn't me.
21:58Well, maybe it got mistaken as rubbish.
22:02If it was thrown out, that would be gross negligence.
22:06If it was stolen, it was theft.
22:09If it's not found or returned to me,
22:13by the end of the day, I'm going to have to contact the police.
22:16Now, Felix, I don't want to believe you've done anything wrong,
22:19but this happened on your watch.
22:23I'm going to have to let you go.
22:34Coming up on Neighbours.
22:36Felix didn't do it!
22:38Then where did the money go?
22:40He gave you the chance to prove yourself,
22:42and all you've done is show us exactly who you are.
22:43The protest that Hilary and Moira have organised
22:45could derail everything.
22:47Give it up for the boys of the Ehrenbarth Boys' League!
