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.
00:13If 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?
00:58Neighbours.
01:00Neighbours.
01:02Neighbours.
01:11Noel.
01:13Sweetheart, what are you doing here?
01:19Have you been drinking again?
01:21No, of course not.
01:23I mean, this isn't what it looks like.
01:26I was just...
01:28About to have a glass of wine.
01:32No.
01:34I mean, I 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.
01:56Hey.
01:58Did you get a chance to look at all that programming course stuff I sent you?
02:02Oh, yeah, I did. It 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.
02:25She did say she had a migraine, though.
02:27Oh, that's probably why she didn't open the door when I called over before.
02:30Yeah, probably.
02:31She said she was pretty nauseous when I saw her.
02:33And she looked wiped.
02:35Well, thanks for keeping me in the loop.
02:37I'll check in again later.
02:38Yeah, okay, okay.
02:46Awkward.
02:50Sorry about that.
02:54Why can't I just get a coffee from where he works?
03:01We can't exile him to the tramp forever.
03:21This exercise is stupid.
03:22How am I supposed to hold my breath for so long?
03:24I thought 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, follow me.
03:38Feel that muscle.
03:40Pull it in when you breathe out.
03:46Breathe in.
03:49Tighten and hold.
03:52Breathe out.
03:59Easier?
04:00Yeah.
04:02You got this.
04:06What's going on here?
04:10I just had a bad customer.
04:12Right, Felix?
04:13Yeah, he was rude.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Are you here about the broken applesauce machine?
04:17Yes, I just spoke to the bank.
04:19Unfortunately, we won't be back online until tomorrow.
04:21Okay, so are we cash only for the rest of the day?
04:24Yeah, is that a problem?
04:26It works for me.
04:28Hey, guys.
04:29Felix, have you got a sec?
04:31We've hit a bit of a snag with the show.
04:33What, if I take five?
04:35Yeah, yeah, of course.
04:36Are you sure you don't need any extra performers?
04:39I've got some ideas.
04:40Come.
04:41Thank you, but I don't think Aaron's brick and handle that much excitement again.
04:46I'm here if you need me.
04:47I know.
04:48Too much along.
04:59Everything's just been really difficult lately,
05:03especially since your father took you and Hugo away.
05:08I'm so sorry.
05:10No, it's not your fault.
05:12Just, I just miss you so much.
05:16I miss you too.
05:18And I've been trying not to let everything get to me.
05:22Everything get to me.
05:27And 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.
05:53I 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.
06:11I mean, I'll get rid of the bottle and I'll start going to AA meetings again, whatever it takes.
06:18So there's no need to tell anyone what you saw today, OK?
06:23Ah.
06:25OK, OK, 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.
06:36Sweet, since you've already finished, you can help me with mine.
06:38There you go, Bush.
06:39Come here.
06:41Fine, 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.
06:53Hey, it's going to be OK, 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.
07:21And then the home insurance has just gone up, rego, interest rates.
07:24OK, so we'll tighten our belts a bit.
07:27I mean, I know cashflow's not ideal, but this is an important one for Dexie.
07:35I still think you should tell someone.
07:40I can't.
07:42It's too humiliating.
07:44What about Susan? She's your sponsor, right? She'd understand.
07:48No, she works for me.
07:50There has to be someone else.
07:54Nell, I've already let you down today, and myself. I couldn't stand letting anyone else down as well.
08:01I should probably go.
08:03Hey, why aren't you in Colac anyway?
08:08I wanted to see you and JJ.
08:11Dad doesn't know.
08:14Where is he?
08:16He's found a counsellor in Colac. He's doing really well.
08:23I don't think he'd be too happy about you sneaking off.
08:26Yeah, well I thought it was worth the risk.
08:30Tell you what, you keep my secret, I'll keep yours. Deal?
08:40Deal.
08:43Deal.
08:47First a petition, now a picket. These two really haven't been there, Bonnet, have they?
08:51I 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?
09:03We are working on it.
09:05Aaron, the event is tomorrow evening.
09:07Yes, I'm very aware of this.
09:09Well, seeing as you can't get the situation under control, I'd better take matters into my own hands.
09:13You don't have to do that.
09:16Things seem to be going well here.
09:19They are.
09:21I 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.
09:36Great lot of help you've been.
09:38Oh, sorry, I just had something on my mind.
09:41Like what?
09:43Do you think me and Mara are doing okay, 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. Why?
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 were 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?
10:13No, thanks.
10:22Finally, my turn.
10:25I thought you were in the post, Nicole. What are you doing here?
10:30I have a favor I need to ask.
10:33Sure.
10:35Can 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, so 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.
11:00It is.
11:03You're the best. I should go.
11:09Oh, I just wanted to check that you hadn't gotten any worse.
11:12But I'm better now.
11:14Oh, gee, that's good. That's a quick recovery. Yeah, well, lucky me.
11:20So, was there anything else?
11:23Yeah, I just wondered if you'd like to go to Boylesque together tomorrow night?
11:27Oh, no, no. I was planning on giving that a wide berth.
11:32Are you sure? I think it's important that Irenia Rising show support for such a worthy cause.
11:38We did. We made a donation.
11:40Yeah, let's hope Maura and Hilary never find out about that.
11:45Oh, Therese, come on. Come out. It'll be fun. Better than sitting around an empty house.
11:55Alright, fine. Cut me in.
11:59Well, hey, seeing JJ defend Felix today was a bit of an eye-opener.
12:04Yeah, we did too good a job at keeping that kid polite.
12:09It just seems that somewhere inside JJ there's still a hurt boy who just wants to get to know Felix.
12:15Seems that at some point he's going to want to connect with him, and that might be sooner rather than later.
12:20Yeah, well, I'm not looking forward to that day.
12:23Whenever that is, we've got to do things differently.
12:28Trying to keep those two apart just makes more problems than it solves.
12:32Sometimes I wish you were a little less wise, Remy.
12:36Let me think about it.
12:38Yeah, yeah, of course.
12:40Anyway, we should be focusing on your report.
12:45Yeah, hey, thanks for being here.
12:49As if I'd miss it. This is really exciting.
12:54I'm trying not to get my hopes up until we get the results back.
12:57Might be all a bust.
12:59Whatever happens, we're in it together.
13:05Thanks.
13:14Felix!
13:16Felix!
13:18Open up, it's me.
13:29Holly?
13:31What's going on?
13:32Everything isn't working, nothing's working. I feel like I'm going to be sick.
13:36Alright, slow down.
13:38I don't know what to do.
13:40We'll try together. Come stand.
13:48Give me your arm.
13:52I'll get your iPhone.
14:03Oh.
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?
14:19Even though I hate it, you were right. We did mess things up last time.
14:26OK, what do you want to do about it?
14:29Try 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.
14:58Hmm.
15:03Better now?
15:06Heaps.
15:09I just wish I could do it on my own.
15:12Didn't know breathing was so difficult.
15:16Yeah, it takes a bit of practice. You'll get there.
15:23Thanks for being so nice to me.
15:27Especially after I was such a prick.
15:29Oh, I'm in no position to judge.
15:39Maybe it's time you stopped hiding.
15:42Once you're going through.
15:44And lent on your people.
15:47No, I couldn't do that.
15:50They'd think that I was going crazy.
15:53No, they wouldn't.
15:55Because you're not.
15:56It feels like I am.
16:00You've been through a lot of trauma.
16:02And that usually comes with a pretty hefty price tag.
16:08You talk to your dad?
16:10No. No way.
16:12Why not?
16:14He's a dude.
16:16And he clearly loves the heck out of you.
16:18I'm always disappointing him.
16:24I make really bad decisions.
16:27I hurt people.
16:30It would be so selfish if I asked for help now.
16:37I just wish I could be a better person.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:44I just wish I could be a better person.
16:49Like you.
16:51I'm far from perfect.
16:54Yeah, but you're trying.
16:59Well, you can't start making better decisions until you forgive yourself.
17:04And that's step one.
17:06And it's hard.
17:08But it's worth it.
17:15Are you 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.
17:31But I'm working on that.
17:32Yeah.
17:42Ah, Susan, you haven't seen Therese, have you?
17:46Not today, no. Why?
17:48I've got a couple of Lasseter's Day spa vouchers for Moira and Hilary.
17:52Just thought you might be able to pass them on.
17:54Very generous of you.
17:56No, just a bit of gentle persuasion to help stop them picketing outside the boiler house.
18:00Oh, sounds more like a bribe to me.
18:03No, it's just sound business sense.
18:06Well, let me pass them along. I work at Ireney as well.
18:09Oh, no, no, no. I don't want to put you out. No.
18:12Oh, trust me, Paul. Moira and Hilary will find me at some point today to complain about something. It is no trouble.
18:18Dara, thanks. Let's hope they do the trick, eh?
18:22Yeah.
18:30Hey, look, you can stay. I was just about to go.
18:33No, I want to break the rules again.
18:35About that.
18:37Felix, thanks for not telling Mum and Mother you saw him at Nell.
18:40Yeah.
18:42I said I wouldn't.
18:44I just wasn't sure if you should keep your word.
18:46Well, you have to keep yours now too, right?
18:48No more skipping school when your girlfriend's in town, yeah?
18:51I know. I won't have to again.
18:53Good.
18:55So, does this mean we're...
18:56We're all square now?
18:58Speak for yourself. I'm pretty cool.
19:00Oh, not if you crack jokes like that.
19:05I better get going now.
19:07Um, thanks again.
19:10Anytime.
19:16OK, well, thanks for letting me know.
19:19Yeah, great, thanks. Bye.
19:20The courier company swears that Moira's box of wine was full when it got here,
19:24which obviously means the bottle was taken after it was delivered.
19:27Which 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.
19:44Hmm?
19:46You wouldn't want to update Moira for me, would you?
19:48Go on.
19:50She's already given me an ear bashing this week.
19:52As much as I'd like to.
19:54I'm needed at the tram.
19:56Suspiciously convenient timing.
19:59All right, well, I'm back in the firing line.
20:01Perhaps those vouchers from Paul will help ease the blow.
20:04Yeah.
20:06Good luck.
20:08Thanks.
20:19Are 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, actually doing it is a whole other ball game.
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.
20:43Right, um, well, work out your order and pop in when you're ready.
20:55See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
20:57Jury's still out on that one, but this is for JJ, so I'll stay the course.
21:04Did you get any sleep last night?
21:06Yeah, thanks to you.
21:08Thought any more about talking to your old man?
21:10That's not right.
21:13Hey, did you accurately record all the sales yesterday?
21:17Yeah, of course. Why?
21:19I'm just doing the reconciliation and the amount banked is different from the sales.
21:23It's $300 different.
21:25Yeah, I know, $300 out. It came in after Felix banked the rest.
21:28It should be in your envelope next to the till.
21:30I'm going to take it on the next bank drop.
21:32Right.
21:36Well, there's nothing here.
21:38Well, there's nothing here.
21:46Well, then somebody's taken it.
21:49Well, no. No 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.
22:05If it was stolen, it was theft.
22:08If it's not found or returned to me, by 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, but this happened on your watch.
22:23I'm going to have to let you go.
22:35Coming up on Neighbours.
22:37Felix didn't do it.
22:38Then where did the money go?
22:39It gave you the chance to prove yourself.
22:41And all you've done is show us exactly who you are.
22:43Well, this protest that Hilary and Moira have organised could derail everything.
22:46Give it up for the boys of the Ehrensbader Boyland!
