00:00One minute you're at uni living in a share house and the next thing I know you've worked in with
00:12Levi and you're working at a board shop. What happened? Abby is doing really well now. Now?
00:17Yeah. She's put her recovery first and you should be really proud of her. Recovery from what?
00:23Mum, Abby has been clean for months, okay, and she's been going to counsellor.
00:27Had I known that there was a problem, I could have held.
00:30I need to go and stay with my mum for a few days because I really hurt her and I need to try and fix that.
00:35What can I do?
00:36I think you've done enough.
00:40Dad messes me to offer his congratulations on my engagement.
00:45How did you know I got engaged, Levi?
00:47Hand on heart, I didn't say anything. I wouldn't do that to you.
00:50I need to ask you a question.
00:52Yeah, great. Hit me up. What have you got? I'm on fire today.
00:54I'm serious, Cash. Don't lie to me. Did you tell my father that we were engaged?
01:03It's time to make a difference
01:04Difference in me
01:10Yeah
01:12Me
01:15Yeah
01:16Yeah, me
01:17Okay
01:40Burger with a lot
01:41And I added extra chips
01:43Well, you're welcome, Marley. Any time
01:49Sorry
01:51Hey, does Levi know when Abby's coming back?
01:54Uh-uh. He hasn't mentioned anything
01:56You know, you could ask it yourself
01:58I have called, texted, and all I got back was a shrugging emoji
02:06Ouch
02:07Well, I can find out if Levi knows any him
02:10Thanks
02:11Oh
02:15Spooky
02:17I was just about to call you
02:19Why, is everything alright?
02:21Yeah, yeah, yeah
02:21Have you spoken to Abby at all?
02:23No, I haven't heard from her
02:24Okay
02:25Well, it's just Marley's a bit tense
02:27Anyway
02:27Um, did you need me?
02:30No, I was just calling to see if you were coming home soon
02:33Ah, well, it shouldn't be too long
02:34The kitchen's winding down soon
02:35Okay, good
02:36Why? Are you gonna come in?
02:38No, I just, uh
02:40Feel like we haven't seen much of each other in the last few days
02:43Ah
02:44Why, you got something from the plan?
02:47No
02:47Sorry
02:48I'm pretty boring
02:50I feel like a cuppa in a chat
02:52Okay
02:53Okay, see you soon
02:54Okay, no, hang on
03:03Stop looking at me like that
03:04Honestly, I have told you ten times
03:06I didn't do it
03:08Babe, well, I'm trying to decide if I believe you or not
03:11Right, alright
03:12Tell me this
03:12How would I message your dad if I don't have his phone number?
03:15You're a police officer
03:16It wouldn't be hard for you to find out
03:17And you don't reckon the fact that you would hate me for the rest of my life would stop me from doing that?
03:20If you did do this, it's gonna be the quickest engagement ever
03:22Couldn't be shorter than our last engagement
03:24This isn't funny, babe
03:26Please just promise me that it wasn't you
03:29I promise it wasn't me
03:34Okay
03:35I wouldn't do that to you
03:36So who did?
03:38I don't know, did you ask him?
03:40There is no way that I am replying to this text
03:42Look at it
03:43It's so fake
03:44And nice
03:45Who does he think is fooling?
03:46You haven't even saved his number
03:47Are you sure it's him?
03:48Babe, it's his dad
03:49With an X, by the way
03:51Gross
03:51Anyway, it doesn't matter how much he texts
03:54I'm telling you now
03:55He's not worming his way back into my life
03:56Okay
03:57He's not
03:57Come here
03:58Come here
03:59I still want to find out who's snitched, though
04:05Hey
04:10Curiosity got the better of me
04:13So I gave myself an early mark
04:14What happened to dinner?
04:20Can we talk?
04:21Yeah
04:22Okay
04:23I found it under the bed
04:35Look, I was just doing some research
04:38Doesn't matter
04:38Why didn't you come to me?
04:43Because I didn't want to worry you
04:46My fertility affects both of us
04:48I appreciate that
04:51But I was your doctor
04:52I have access to the most recent studies
04:54I could have gone through them with you
04:56Well, if you could
04:58That would be great
04:59You're lucky I'm my favourite patient
05:04It has to be someone close
05:14Not many people who knew about the engagement
05:16Also know Dad
05:17Okay, so it definitely wasn't Levi
05:18No
05:18It definitely wasn't Abigail
05:19No, I'm sure of it
05:20It wasn't Remy?
05:22He knows that I'd throttle him
05:24So, yeah
05:24Good morning, lovebirds
05:26Hey, John
05:27All the riverboys locked away then?
05:29Yeah
05:29Finally
05:30Very good
05:31Very good
05:31Then perhaps it's time to turn your mind to your wedding
05:34Yes
05:35Cash actually needs to get his head into the game
05:37I unfortunately have to go to work
05:39But, John, you should get in the low down
05:41Yes
05:42Take your time
05:43He's got the whole day off
05:44Excellent
05:46Enjoy
05:47Now, I am not presuming in any way
05:50That you want me involved with your nuptials
05:52But I am in a position to offer you some advice
05:55Free, of course
05:56Yep
05:56Once you get your head around all the options
05:58And there are many
05:59Yeah
06:00Then I'll be able to guide
06:01Yeah, look
06:02Eden and I haven't really discussed it yet
06:04So there's nothing that I can decide right now
06:05Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
06:07I get it, I get it
06:07Yeah, yeah
06:08But, look, I don't know very much about weddings
06:12If you wanted to talk me through it
06:15You don't ever
06:16It all begins with a vision
06:19Abby
06:24Hey
06:25How'd you get here?
06:28Just an early bus
06:29Well, you should have let me know
06:30I would have picked you up
06:31I know I've already said this
06:35But I'm sorry about what happened
06:38Just forget it
06:40It's fine
06:40It didn't even cross my mind
06:43That your mum wouldn't know
06:44It's probably because I tell my mum and sisters everything
06:49And they snoop
06:51Yeah, well, I don't really have that kind of relationship with my mum
06:56Which is why I should have kept my mouth shut
06:58It's not your fault
07:00I messed up
07:02I could do everything else in my life
07:03Are you kidding?
07:04That this is on me
07:06So whatever you need
07:09I've got you
07:10It's okay
07:17Jess, you know I'm not on coal today, right?
07:34Make me swear that I'm not on coal
07:37Really?
07:42Huh
07:43No, that's okay
07:47I'll look into that
07:47Thank you for the call
07:50Bye
07:52Everything okay?
07:55You tell me
07:59I just heard that
08:01A cardiologist from the city is asking for access to your medical records
08:05Mac, what is going on?
08:10Look, I don't want to talk about this at work
08:11So
08:11Let's go
08:13I'm not scared of going online
08:17Hey
08:19I need to head out for a bit
08:21So only call if there's an emergency
08:22Yeah
08:23No worries
08:23Hey, do you know when Abby's coming home?
08:28No, I'm not sure
08:29Because I'm starting to think that maybe she really is the one who told Dad
08:32If she did, she's going to regret it
08:35I've got to go, Eden
08:36Sorry
08:36Double espresso, please
08:40Oh, yeah
08:41Okay, so the chat with John went well
08:42So thorough
08:43I am so surprised that you got away so soon
08:46No, no, don't worry
08:46We've got another appointment lined up for later
08:48Ah, yeah, of course you do
08:49I'll go to hear your thoughts on something first
08:51I'm listening
08:52We know that it's still early days
08:54We haven't really discussed what the wedding to look like
08:57Or even when
08:58Or even when
08:59But we could make a decision about John
09:01He's done quite a lot for the both of us
09:03And he knows us better than any random wedding celebrant
09:06He does
09:06He wants the job so badly
09:07He's not exactly subtle about it, is he?
09:10No
09:10Can I ask him to be our celebrant?
09:14Absolutely
09:15On one condition
09:17Just make him squirm a little first
09:20I'm sorry about the meltdown
09:26But you're really glad to have me back
09:28It's fine
09:30Want to tell me what it was about?
09:35The last few days have been really hard
09:37And her mum dished out some serious tough love
09:40What did that look like?
09:43Basically her dissecting every mistake I've ever made
09:46Like quitting uni, the drugs
09:48You know, the usual
09:49But she was right about most of it
09:51So I couldn't really argue with her
09:53She said she wanted to sort me out
09:55What does that mean?
09:59There's nothing to sort out
10:00That's not how she sees it
10:02The person that your mum is worried about
10:07That's not you anymore
10:08I'm sorry
10:13It was so full on with you mum
10:14But you don't need to worry anymore
10:18You're home now
10:20Yeah, I am
10:24All right
10:31Take a seat, sir
10:32Can I get you anything?
10:33Water, please
10:35Wedding talk can be thirsty work
10:37Become prepared
10:39Yeah, this is my celebrant's toolbox
10:42I have got a lot to show you
10:44Thank you, Doug
10:45Let's get into it
10:46Okay, um
10:47I'm aware that
10:49You and Eden
10:52May want to consider other summons
10:53Eden and I agree that we would talk to other people
10:55Okay, yeah
10:56Well, there's this bird in Yabby Creek
11:00Yabby Creek's good
11:00That's driving distance, that's close by
11:02Yeah
11:02I just heard she does the same schtick for every wedding
11:05Does she?
11:06Really?
11:07Okay, no, no, no
11:08No, that's a good decision
11:09Okay
11:09Now what you need is someone to give you highly personalised, sir
11:12Yeah, that's what I want
11:13Yeah, someone to give you the personal touch
11:14Somebody like you?
11:16Well, no, I'm just saying
11:17You know, I'm a friend
11:19And neighbour
11:20Yeah
11:20And I got a really good testimonial
11:23From Justin and Mia
11:25Yeah
11:25And I'm flexible with locations
11:31And I can help you write the vows
11:34Tell you what to say
11:35What not to say
11:36John
11:36John, I want to be straight with you
11:38You do
11:40Eden and I have already made a decision
11:42Alright
11:43Yeah
11:44And before I say anything
11:47I want you to know that we thought long and hard about it
11:49Oh, look, I understand
11:51Look, I will be happy as long as you are better than happy
11:54John Palmer
11:55Yeah
11:55Would you be our marriage celebrant?
11:58Oh, I don't
11:59I mean, I would be
12:00I mean, you've got no idea how much I wanted this
12:05I got a rough idea
12:06Yes
12:08I'm sorry that you got blindsided
12:11It's not exactly the nicest feeling
12:14Why do you want to see another specialist?
12:21Do you not trust me?
12:22No, no, of course I trust you
12:24I think I've just been more scared than I've let on
12:28About what?
12:33About...
12:34Getting pregnant
12:36When I was at the outpatient clinic
12:41Some of the women were talking about
12:42The risks of pregnancy after scat
12:45Okay, but last night
12:46I said I can help you with that
12:47We can go through all of it
12:48I know, I know you did
12:49I'd already made the appointment
12:52And
12:53I want to say I thought it might be easier to talk to a stranger
12:56Okay
13:00Okay
13:01If you want to see another specialist
13:03We can do that
13:04Whatever makes you feel more comfortable
13:06There's also something else
13:09I haven't told you the whole truth about my medical history
13:15Even if I didn't have heart problems
13:21I still might have trouble getting pregnant
13:25You okay?
13:39You were really quiet in the car?
13:40Yeah, just tired
13:41If you want to talk about what went down with your mum
13:43I'm here
13:44Thank you
13:46I should probably check what he had in once
13:48Hey
13:51Oh, you're back
13:52Mm-hmm
13:53Good
13:53Sorry I got me some proposal
13:55Don't stress
13:56Don't stress, life happens
13:57Okay
13:57Well, it sounded like it was awesome
13:58Yeah
13:59It was
14:00It was
14:01But then someone messed up
14:02You and I need to talk
14:04I'm going to go for a sec
14:07Just call me when you're done
14:08So I need you to tell me the truth
14:13Mm-hmm
14:14Did you tip dad off about my engagement?
14:17Me?
14:18No
14:18I knew that it wasn't you
14:21No, it was mum
14:22Do I look like I'm up for a joke?
14:26I heard the whole conversation
14:27I was there
14:28Since when do our parents talk to each other?
14:31Since mum called a family crisis meeting to deal with me
14:35Abs
14:37Then how did me getting engaged come up?
14:42Well, mum wanted dad to know that their other daughter
14:44You
14:45Was doing great
14:46Unlike me
14:47Hey, they don't understand, okay?
14:49Yeah, well try telling them that
14:50Was it bad?
14:52The two of them together
14:53Or they must have been arguing the whole time
14:56No, it was fine
14:58Probably because they were ganged up on me
15:00Seriously?
15:01Yeah
15:02We talked a lot about what I needed to do
15:06Actually, I'm going to need to take some time off work
15:10Do you think that you can take my shifts?
15:12Oh, how long do you think you're going to need?
15:14Might be a while
15:15Okay, I should have told you this
15:21The second we talked about having a baby
15:23Told me what?
15:29I love it
15:30Mac
15:30Mac
15:31Okay
15:31Just say it
15:32Yeah
15:32Years ago, I fell pregnant
15:38Unexpectedly
15:39And
15:40I lost the baby
15:42Uh, I'm so sorry
15:47It turns out it was ectopic
15:51And I got a fallopian tube removed
15:54And this is why I have been so worried about us falling pregnant
16:00Why didn't you tell me this earlier
16:02Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
16:02I don't know, I was in denial
16:03I just, I want this so much
16:07You know?
16:08And also, I'm so sorry
16:09And also, the father was tiny's brother
16:14What about them?
16:22Obviously, no, no, that's very close to home
16:23We've both got a past
16:29It's no big deal
16:31It was the worst time of my life
16:34I have never felt more alone
16:37Didn't support you?
16:41No, I just, I didn't tell him
16:42It sounds really hot
16:47And now I'm so worried about what that means for us living late
16:53So the mystery of who told dad has been solved
17:04Crazy, I still can't get my head around it
17:06Head around what?
17:07Oh, my parents in the same room together, willingly, without lawyers
17:12You know, maybe they're just trying to put a strong front up for Abigail
17:14Yeah, but it still doesn't explain mum wanting to share good news with him
17:19I mean, that hasn't happened in years
17:22I guess they've just turned a corner
17:23Anyway, enough about them
17:25I want to hear about what happened with John
17:28Oh, it was gold, he loved it
17:30Yeah, got a bit emotional
17:31Oh, that is so sweet
17:33See, I would take John's reaction over my dad's stupid text any day
17:38In other good news, you and I have the entire afternoon off together
17:42Amazing
17:43What about the beach?
17:45Sun's out, let's do it
17:46Then we can come back here and have a long shower together
17:49Whatever you say, if you'll say
17:51Looks a bit dumpy out there, Marley
18:02And speaking of dump, any word for Abigail?
18:06She's back
18:07Not great, great
18:08No, no, not great, not really great at all
18:11Hey, you haven't actually been dumped, have you?
18:13No, no, we're okay
18:14She forgave you?
18:17Pretty sure
18:17That's not an embedded yes
18:19I don't know, I get this feeling that she's holding something back
18:22She'll come around, mate
18:24You two are a good match
18:25I know about these things
18:27Hey, John
18:29Thank you for agreeing to marry us
18:33My absolute pleasure
18:35Now, you better get a wriggle on and set a date
18:37Then we can get the ball rolling
18:38We've talked about this
18:39I understand, no stress, no pressure
18:41Whoops
18:41Someone's a popular boy
18:44Not me
18:46No, one of the blenders in the juice bar is busted
18:48It looks like I'm on mopping duty
18:50Ooh
18:50The glamour
18:51Hey, guys
18:54Hey
18:55Did Abby seem okay to you?
18:58She wasn't great, which is understandable
19:01I might meet you down there?
19:04Yeah, yeah, no worries
19:05So she told you about the crisis meeting with mum and dad?
19:11Your dad was there too
19:12Apparently, yeah
19:13Faria
19:15The questions from your mum were rough enough
19:18Yep, it would have been a nightmare
19:19No one's just taking some time off work
19:22Wait, Abby's taking time off work for how long?
19:27I don't know if she even knows
19:29She just said she might be a while
19:31Thank you
19:45For what?
19:47Being you
19:48Being so calm and patient
19:52Well, I've been freaking out
19:53I get why you were worried
19:54Well, not anymore
19:56I just
19:57I really wish I had told you sooner
19:58So I wasn't so scared
19:59But I'm only going to think positive from now on
20:03Which means there is no excuse not for me to get back to work
20:05Matt
20:05Yeah
20:06I've got to be honest with you
20:07Oh
20:08Your reaction wasn't over the top
20:10What do you mean?
20:14There's no easy way to say this
20:15Just say it
20:18With your history
20:21Getting pregnant might not be easy for us
20:24Yes, mum, I'm coming tonight
20:31I told you I would do it as soon as I could
20:34Because I have stuff to do
20:37Yeah, okay, I'll take someone close
20:40Yeah, alright, I have to go
20:43I think the taxi's here
20:44Yes, I'll be careful
20:46Alright, I'll see you soon
20:47Where are you going?
21:01Aren't you even going to say goodbye?
21:02At least let me drive you home
21:10And spend more time in a suffocating space with you
21:13No thanks
21:13We need to finish track three
21:15It's done
21:15I don't get why you're not challenging yourself
21:17I should be allowed to approach this the way that I want to
21:20Because it's my project
21:21Right, my opinion means nothing
21:22Oh my goodness, Remy
21:23It's not going to be your face on the front cover of the album, is it?
21:25She was the one who wanted me to come on as an investor in the first place
21:28But, bub, you're not just an investor, you're also a producer
21:31Surely you can see how the lines are getting a bit blurred
21:33Kobe, this isn't working out the way I thought it would
21:35I'm sorry, but you're going to have to find a new producer
