00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Constable, if you can't figure out something this basic,
00:05then you shouldn't be wearing the uniform.
00:07I don't know what to do about it because Mum doesn't want to have this conversation on his terms.
00:10But you need to tell him how you feel.
00:12It wasn't cheating.
00:13My teenage son thought that he was helping by changing the assignment.
00:16I can't trust myself to be around her.
00:18I was hoping that he might be able to keep an eye on her.
00:21PTSD's a real thing.
00:22Just take this to Table 2 and leave me alone.
00:24How did Felix go today?
00:25Yeah, I don't think it's going to work out.
00:27What are you doing here?
00:31Neighbours
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
00:56That's when good neighbours become good friends
01:07Hey.
01:08Did Holly say how Felix fared?
01:10Oh, not a glowing rapport unfortunately.
01:13Really?
01:14Yeah, I suspect it's just a clash of personalities and hopefully it'll sort itself out.
01:20Oh hi, come in.
01:21Hi.
01:22Carl, thank goodness.
01:23Oh, is everything okay?
01:24Well, no, it will be.
01:25But I need you to talk to Moritai first.
01:27Oh, what havoc has she wreaked?
01:29She has managed to talk her whole gang out of the gardening club.
01:32Instead they're going to some pickleball centre tomorrow.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Yeah, well I'm really worried.
01:37They're all going to come back with shattered hips and knees and God knows what.
01:40You'll be pleased to know they've already consulted me.
01:43It's a low impact sport.
01:44I think it'll be good for them.
01:45Oh, really?
01:47Yeah, although I think their interest is more in finding suitors.
01:51But it's still exercise.
01:54Well, I suppose that's something off my plate.
01:56I thought I'd be arguing with them all night.
01:59Oh, no, you can put your feet up now.
02:03Well, I suppose I could pin down Paul.
02:05We've both been so busy.
02:06Oh, no, no, no.
02:07Therese, why don't you stay here and have dinner with us?
02:11Yeah, yeah.
02:12Oh, thank you.
02:13That's really sweet.
02:14But no, we've got brunch tomorrow.
02:16You'll be sick to death of me.
02:17Oh, impossible.
02:19Well, I'm hardly riveting company at all.
02:21Oh, come on.
02:22We can rock a pickle ball, whatever that is.
02:25And Holly's going to be home soon.
02:27Carl's about to dish up dinner.
02:28Speak of the devil.
02:29Hi, darling.
02:30Hi.
02:32Really, what?
02:34Oh.
02:36Yeah, okay, I can come now.
02:47What's all this?
02:49I don't understand.
02:51You're staying here.
02:52Why is the question?
02:53These are dumb ideas.
02:55I thought you were at the halfway house.
02:56Translation, who are you hiding from?
02:59There's some people there picking up where they left off,
03:02trying to pull me into it.
03:03And this is me keeping my nose clean.
03:06By basically breaking in.
03:08Yeah, I said it was a dumb idea.
03:09Well, I can only commend you for trying to stay out of trouble.
03:13Commend?
03:14But you can't stay here.
03:15It's not set up.
03:17Perhaps a few days and hours if Susan's happy.
03:19What?
03:20I can't do that.
03:21Sorry.
03:23I can't impose and I promised Cara and Remy that I wouldn't go anywhere near JJ.
03:28Yeah, yeah.
03:29And before you offer, I really can't accept any money.
03:33I wouldn't, no.
03:34No, if you insist.
03:36I just need a place to crash.
03:38I've stayed in way worse places.
03:40This would be fine.
03:42Well, I suppose this place does have heat and power and running water.
03:45Yeah, luxury.
03:47It wouldn't be for long and they'd be quiet and no one would know I was here.
03:52Well, you'd let me know if you found somewhere more suitable.
03:55No, Dad, you can't be serious.
03:57Well, you know, in the absence of a better option.
04:12I'm guessing this isn't for me?
04:15Sorry, not tonight, sweetheart.
04:18Good, because I've got plans.
04:21This isn't something I should be worried about, right?
04:24Why?
04:26Is it the way you were talking earlier?
04:29It is hard to believe you'd do anything like this for Dad.
04:32Yeah, alright, smart Alec.
04:35I'm actually taking your advice belatedly.
04:38And you weren't the only one to point out that we should be talking.
04:43Finally.
04:45I mean, good for you.
04:49You know, I think I deserve a bit more credit for being the bigger person, please.
04:53I mean, I didn't have to do all this.
04:55Not with how your Dad's been.
04:58No, it's good.
05:00Honestly, go you.
05:04I love you both.
05:06Love you.
05:08Love you.
05:15I think Wendy's taken my advice.
05:17Oh, that's good.
05:20JJ, we said no phones.
05:22Sorry, yeah, I'll just text and I'll get back to you later.
05:26One minute, and it's only because I'm waiting on a work email.
05:30Well, I might just check in on my patient then.
05:33You lot are tragic.
05:35No way.
05:36Don't tell yourself that.
05:37No, I mean, I've got an email from uni.
05:41They've marked my resit.
05:43And?
05:4566%, baby.
05:47It's not Dexie level, but it still means I passed.
05:49Oh, I knew you could do it, my sweet baby HR.
05:52P's equal degrees.
05:54Oh, they're saying something else about Dexie.
05:56What?
05:57Oh my gosh, whoa.
05:59What?
06:00They want you to start doing uni computer science subjects.
06:05What, really?
06:06Well, they say he's capable.
06:07They want to figure out how he can split his time between uni and e-high.
06:11They did tell me that your work was amazing and that we should start getting you into courses.
06:16They're overhyping me.
06:17No, I don't think they would do that.
06:20Yeah, I don't think so.
06:21That's incredible, bud.
06:24Look at you.
06:25You get to lord over all the other kids just how smart you are.
06:27Ah, because that'll really help your social status.
06:30Sorry, I'm just jealous you get to miss school.
06:33Uni at 15?
06:34Uni at 15?
06:35That's genius, Liv.
06:49Hey.
06:52Hey.
06:54So how was rehearsal?
06:56If you want to see your husband look like a total idiot on stage,
07:01you're about to get your wish.
07:04Well, these things, they, you know, they always come together.
07:09Yeah, thanks for the platitude.
07:13Why have you got the nice plates out?
07:16You going to throw them at me?
07:23Well, obviously I didn't feel like talking earlier,
07:26but you did and, well, this is me, you know, coming to the table.
07:31Literally.
07:34Great timing.
07:36Just when I'm absolutely knackered and smell of dog crap.
07:44Well, we can still sit and eat.
07:47You eat.
07:49I just need a shower and bed.
08:05Holly, you're not in a mood about Felix, are you?
08:08It's called being right.
08:10I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I'm with your dad on this one.
08:13He's just trying to avoid people that could get him into trouble.
08:16Yeah, I'll get you to take this down to the tram tomorrow.
08:18It's an extra layer for Felix.
08:20Oh, well, God forbid the guy who's squatting without permission on your property gets us all back.
08:25Right, well, I think that's my cue to leave.
08:28Oh, I'm sorry.
08:30I'm sorry.
08:31Right, well, I think that's my cue to leave.
08:34Oh, no, you don't have to.
08:35Listen, thank you so much for dinner and the distraction.
08:37I'll see you tomorrow.
08:38All right.
08:39Sorry.
08:42Holly, what have I done?
08:46I understand that you have issues with Felix, but he did just save our lives.
08:50Yeah, well, people contain multitudes.
08:51He can still be a bad fit for working and living at the tram.
08:55You sure that's all that's bothering you?
08:57Isn't that enough?
08:58After what happened with Heath, it would be perfectly natural to struggle with trust, especially with men.
09:04Why is everybody treating me like I'm broken?
09:06I don't think that's what Susan's saying.
09:08I just think Felix is a super annoying person who's really bad for the business.
09:12But if you want him there 24-7, that is up to you.
09:26It's your turn.
09:27Oh, you can take it.
09:29It's not me versus the old, I'm getting smashed.
09:31Eh, sounds like a you problem, bud.
09:33OK, guys, what's going on?
09:35This is meant to be a celebration game.
09:37JJ won't stop texting Noel for literally five seconds to be on my team.
09:42Juji, we're supposed to be doing something nice to acknowledge your brother.
09:46Well, he hasn't even said he wants to go to uni yet.
09:48Yeah, well, obviously it's a big decision and Dexie needs a little more time to think about it.
09:52But him even being offered is amazing.
09:55I don't need to think.
09:57Oh, are you sure? You seemed a little bit thrown before.
10:00I don't want to do it.
10:03Dex.
10:04I don't want to be the weird kid. I just want to be normal.
10:08Me getting off school all the time.
10:11Everyone will just hate me.
10:12No, no they won't.
10:16Just settle down.
10:18I can do uni later.
10:21Look, obviously it won't just be smooth sailing, but I don't think you're thinking about all the good bits.
10:26Yeah, look, no one's pressuring you, mate, but I don't think we write it off this quickly.
10:29Yeah.
10:31What about maybe tomorrow we look through the course guide and see if anything jumps out at you?
10:35Yeah?
10:41The tram. I've already paid your rent at the halfway house.
10:45No, well that place isn't as safe as people think it is.
10:47There's guys asking to stash stuff in my room all the time.
10:49How long before they stop letting me say no?
10:52I doubt your parole officer is that thrilled about this.
10:54Well, there weren't any residency conditions on my release, so I reckon I'm alright.
10:58Anyway, I was here to see the parole team, not you, so see ya.
11:06Andrew.
11:09If you're having family problems.
11:11Mate, brothers are idiots.
11:13What are you going to do?
11:15Well, I heard how you spoke to John yesterday too.
11:19Yeah.
11:21Caught me at a bad moment. I'll speak to him.
11:24How many bad moments have you had since the siege?
11:27I know you've cancelled your counselling, but what about taking a few days personal leave?
11:31No, I don't need it.
11:33I'm trying to look after you, but I need you to look after yourself too.
11:37Thanks. I just want to get on with things.
11:40As long as that doesn't involve haranguing junior officers again.
11:44You're only here if you wind your neck in, okay?
11:49One warning.
11:54The social thing is a big deal.
11:56Yeah, yeah. I don't want him to feel left out. He's still just a kid.
12:03Yeah, I don't see him making friends with the 18-year-olds at uni.
12:06No, you're not wrong.
12:08But I don't want him to say no too quickly either. Think about where this could take him.
12:12He'd get his degree early.
12:14He could run the faculty early.
12:17We can explain that to him.
12:18He would gain a lot, but he does have to give up a lot.
12:23Maybe I could call the course coordinator. I'm sure that she's been through this with kids before.
12:28Oh, true. Yeah, I'm sure she's got some great suggestions.
12:33At least you and I are on the same page.
12:36Whatever happens, at least we both know we raised a heap smart, super talented baby.
12:42We did, didn't we?
12:44He's hella smart.
12:51Can I help youself to any water? Can I get you a peppermint tea?
12:54Oh, that sounds lovely.
12:58Let me just check your treatments. I'm still getting used to late notice bookings.
13:02Sorry, we were going to do brunch, but I had a last-minute hankering for some peppering.
13:07And I'm going to treat Susan for being so nice.
13:10Honestly, some raisin toast would have been more than enough.
13:13Oh, well, you're worth it. And besides, my skin is so dry at the moment.
13:17Would you like to start with facials?
13:19Lovely.
13:21Oh, actually, isn't today the day that Paul does a whip around all the departments?
13:27Because if that's the case, we really don't want to be caught with goop all over our faces, do we, Susan?
13:33It's okay. He can do it.
13:34Oh, okay.
13:36It's a relief, isn't it?
13:38Yes.
13:40Would you like to do nails as well?
13:42Mine definitely need some love.
13:44I'll just have a pedicure, thanks.
13:46Perfect.
13:47I said we didn't have to open until I got here.
13:49Just trying to be a boy scout. Make up for last night.
13:53Well, I bet you've made mistakes.
13:57Probably messed up the register, too.
13:59Yeah.
14:01Well, I guess I'll have to go.
14:03Bye.
14:05Bye.
14:07Bye.
14:09Bye.
14:11Bye.
14:13Bye.
14:15Bye.
14:18Bye.
14:21You tired?
14:23No.
14:25Is that how you slept?
14:27Why do you care what happens in your bed?
14:29Thinking more about bad dreams?
14:32If I was tired, it would be because someone's sneaky behaviour messed up my winding down time.
14:38That person sounds like a real pain in the neck.
14:41Finally, he gets it.
14:42Although, I came to think of it, impatience and irritability are symptoms of PTSD.
14:48You really don't listen, do you?
14:51It's just a statement. Do with it what you will.
14:55Well, open your ears. I'm fine.
14:57I don't want to hear another word about that.
15:12A skim latte for Therese. Her mask will be off in approximately ten minutes.
15:17He wishes my command.
15:19You okay?
15:21How'd the big reunion go?
15:24Yeah, your father had other plans.
15:27So, he didn't sort anything out?
15:30Nope.
15:33And then he had the audacity to walk off after I cooked for him and everything.
15:37That sucks, Mum. I'm sorry.
15:39Thanks.
15:43Excuse me, sweetheart. I might get someone else to make you coffee.
15:49What's up with you blowing off, Mum?
15:52What?
15:54I thought that's what you wanted. What more do you expect from her?
15:57I've got a bit on my plate at the moment, in case you haven't noticed.
16:00More important?
16:02Cut me some slack, Sades.
16:04VKC to 290, free to assist.
16:06If you think you can deal with your mother, be my guest.
16:08Yeah, 209, what's up?
16:09Help required to arrest a suspect. 80 Gammon Street.
16:12I'm on my way.
16:24Do we have to do this right now?
16:26You sound a bit ungrateful, just so you're aware.
16:28How did you know anything?
16:30You never look up from your phone.
16:32Okay, settle down, my fractious darlings. It's good news.
16:34Okay, I spoke to the course coordinator and I told her that you're keen to stay with us.
16:37But she said she'd leave the offer open in case you change your mind.
16:40I doubt it.
16:42In the meantime, she's recommended a course at an independent college.
16:45It's run by a former student and it's got classes after school hours.
16:49So only one or two nights a week and it doesn't interfere with school.
16:52You should have gone with the first offer. Now you've got extra work.
16:55Is it just computer science stuff? Python? C++?
16:59I'm going to nod and pretend like I know what that means.
17:02And you'll still get your skills up to uni level.
17:04Cool.
17:06Yeah.
17:08Perfect compromise.
17:11Just clear for me please, Sadie.
17:13Perfect, I'll be back in a sec.
17:20We should do this again soon with Jane.
17:23She would love it.
17:25Oh, apparently Vic is offering the big bucks.
17:30Trying to buy his way back in.
17:32Can I ask you a question?
17:34Sure.
17:39Are we here because you were hoping to bump into Paul?
17:47Maybe part of it.
17:51Well, as long as you understand your motivation.
17:54I do.
17:56Maybe part of it.
17:59Well, as long as you understand your motivation.
18:03My eyes are open, Susan.
18:08You know, when Tony moved out a couple of months ago,
18:12Paul couldn't be around me because he said that he'd complicate things.
18:17Wise on his part.
18:20I mean, so much has happened since then.
18:22I mean, our friendship has become so important for both of us.
18:30Don't I at least deserve an explanation of why it's disintegrating?
18:36And you know why.
18:41Paul's pulling away for exactly the same reasons.
18:46He, he came to see me.
18:48He came to see me.
18:50He wanted to make sure that I would be there for you if he took a step back.
18:56Did he?
18:59Oh.
19:13Not a word.
19:15I'll make my dad fire you if I have to.
19:19Hey, man.
19:21I'll try and be less annoying about the whole phone thing.
19:24It's just that Nell's been really sad lately and I don't want her feeling like she's cut off from us, you know?
19:28Yeah, I'd probably let it get to me too much.
19:36Okay, let's cross this with our ways to get to school.
19:42Felix, I'm going to take my break first.
19:45Can you take care of table one?
19:46Sure thing.
20:07I'm not out of work.
20:09Don't test me today.
20:11What's your problem?
20:13Take a walk, yes.
20:14Keep arresting me and never talk to real criminals because you're a jerk.
20:18You think I'm a jerk, mate?
20:20You put your gear onto teenagers. You don't even deserve to live.
20:23Sergeant Rundwell!
20:25Sorry.
20:27I'll take it from here.
20:29Come through, please.
20:39Ah, the pickleballers have returned, safe and sound.
20:43Apparently their team name is the Vintage Vixens. Do you think that sounds ominous?
20:49Well, we'll soon find out.
20:53Hey, Jane and I can be his substitutes, can't we?
21:02Susan, if I'm going to be honest, no.
21:07I mean, you're the best friends that I could dream of.
21:10But it's just not the same.
21:13Feeling like I'm the centre of somebody's universe and that's what I really need right now.
21:19Doesn't it make you feel a bit nervous?
21:23Look, I know things usually get messy with Paul and I.
21:27But it's just reassuring knowing that he's around.
21:33Especially seeing I've been such a wreck lately.
21:35They're gorgeous!
21:37Is everyone happy?
21:39Yeah, thank you so much, Sadie.
21:42And I'll be sure to tell Paul and Krista how impressed I am.
21:57I gave you the benefit of the doubt before.
21:59Yeah, I know.
22:00You could have had counselling, personally.
22:02I don't need time for that.
22:03I just saw all of that!
22:05The fact that you don't think you've got a problem tells me this is worse than it looks.
22:09Can you just give me one more chance?
22:10Look, get changed!
22:12Go home and don't come back.
22:15You're suspended.
22:34Coming up on Neighbours.
22:36I just think her feelings towards you are more complicated than she realises.
22:40Her feelings? About me?
22:42What's that?
22:46What's going on with you and Mum?
22:48Why are you acting so out of character?
