00:00Previously on Neighbours
00:02I'm, uh, I'm here alone.
00:04Yeah, me too.
00:05I have been single for some time now.
00:09I picked up a new side hustle.
00:11But let's keep that on the down low.
00:13Well, Romans is not the father of your baby, Chelsea.
00:15I am.
00:16Tell me exactly how much it's gonna cost me to keep you quiet.
00:19I was wondering if you'd like to try having Thomas overnight again.
00:22Sure, anytime.
00:23I just wanted to see if you're okay with Theresa's decision
00:26to only extend Darcy's lease short term.
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59I please pray
01:00Can do it first
01:10Whew...
01:13Oh...
01:17I think I fell asleep
01:18fell asleep. Who are these people? Mm-hmm. Are you married? Do you have a partner and
01:29a kid? Um, no. I mean, I mean, yes. Colton, just let me explain. Explain how I've spent
01:40the whole day opening up to you about my life, my cheating ex, and now I find out that you
01:46have a whole family you're hiding. My husband's dead. Our daughter is at home in Melbourne
01:53with her mum. I'm so sorry. Melbourne, I thought you said you were from Sydney.
02:16I'm not. And I'm not even a flight attendant. My name's not Charlie. It's Aaron. I lied
02:31about all of it.
02:32Ah, well, it's official. I have a month off from last. Oh, great. Byron's going to manage
02:46the vineyard as well. Perfect. Okay, so your meeting has a Mac in Paris. Is that where you're
02:50going to have the wedding too? Actually, we're going to renew my vows in Rome.
02:53Oh. Yeah. Followed by a tour of the continent. Oh, okay. Well, I'll just take my cup of jealousy
02:59out the door. Bye. See ya. What's up? You're stressed to be happy. I am. It's just for a while
03:13there. I didn't think that we'd get back to this. And I'm not taking it for granted. I
03:20want you to know that. Neither am I. Okay?
03:28You seem very settled here. Yeah, I am. Okay, so why did you knock back Darcy's request
03:55for a longer lease then? Who told you that? Well, he told Chelsea and Chelsea told me.
04:03You know what? That's exactly why I want a short lease. I have to protect Nell and myself.
04:09My God, Chelsea's a piece of work. Oh, that's probably her now.
04:14Uh, it's Max actually. He wants to discuss a project he's working on.
04:21I'm sorry, darling. That was, that was really unfair. You haven't done anything wrong.
04:31Thanks for the fun. I'll call you next time I'm in town.
04:52Mr. So is there anything else I can help with? I think that's pretty much it. But thanks
05:04so much. I couldn't finish it off without you. Oh, hi. I'll, uh, link it to it. Hey.
05:13Hello. Oh, yes, Luke. So, you know how we've been talking about you having Thomas overnight?
05:23Mm-hmm. What if tonight was the night? Oh, I'm only asking because I have a date lined up
05:31and if all goes well, I might not get home till very late. All right. Well, I mean, I'm always
05:39happy to have him, but, um, let's check with Therese. Oh, of course. I'd hate to disrupt
05:44her evening if she already had plans. Hmm. I don't know how you go. Okay.
05:56Hey, mate. Hey. Is she making worse on you again? Oh, no. Come on. She knows nothing's
06:02ever going to happen again. Besides, she just told me that she's on a hot date tonight.
06:07Well, she's probably just saying that to make you jealous. It doesn't matter. I don't
06:11have any feelings for her anymore. Yeah, everything is fine, okay?
06:16Mm-hmm. Anyway, what's this I hear about you and Krista going up to Europe?
06:20Oh, well, since Aaron's on our honeymoon, it got us thinking about a redo.
06:23All right. Good for you. Well, why should I have all the fun, eh?
06:27Okay, fine.
06:52Why July, Aaron?
07:14I mean, I get that
07:21it must be hard to talk about your husband, but the rest of it.
07:28I guess I just felt like being someone else for a day.
07:34Whenever I have to tell someone about David, I then have to go and tell the whole story
07:39and inevitably it comes back and bites me.
07:43Just the grief.
07:45I mean, I've tried dating and it doesn't work.
07:53I just keep messing it up.
07:55I don't know how to be Aaron without David.
08:03It just felt easier to invent a whole new life for myself.
08:08Except I wasn't in on the joke.
08:11No, no, no.
08:12It wasn't a joke.
08:13Colton, honestly, I had so much fun with you today.
08:17Look, is there any way we can salvage this?
08:22We just met.
08:24Yeah, I know.
08:25You don't owe me anything.
08:26I know, but I like you.
08:28I like you too.
08:32You know, I don't just hop into bed with anyone that I meet.
08:39Yeah, well, maybe we can, I don't know, we can catch up later and start again.
08:49I wish you all the best, Aaron.
08:53This is a small island.
08:57If you see me coming, please walk the other way.
09:15It'll just be us and Del for quite a minute.
09:17Ah, yeah, about that.
09:19Chelsea's actually going on a date tonight.
09:21And that's excellent news for us because she was hoping that we'd look after Thomas for the night.
09:26Oh.
09:27I know she wouldn't notice, but come on, we did say that we were both happy to have him again.
09:30Besides, you're such a good mother and a stepmother that, you know...
09:33Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:34I just want Thomas to spend more time with you.
09:36You don't have to butter me up, Paul.
09:38I'm just speaking the truth.
09:39Hmm?
09:40But listen, if you're not up to her, I'll just call Chelsea, it's fine.
09:43No, let's do it.
09:46Yeah?
09:46Yeah.
09:51Thanks again for listening.
09:54Yeah, of course.
09:55Who is that?
09:56This is my driver.
09:57I saw you hug her, though.
09:58And what about the money?
09:59I also saw you buy the lake earlier.
10:00I'm guessing she paid you as well.
10:02Is this your side hustle?
10:04Come on, what is it?
10:05Well, if you really have to know, I'm a personal clothes shopper.
10:09What do you know about women's clothing?
10:11Well, excuse me, style is style.
10:14There is no gender boundaries.
10:15There is no gender boundaries.
10:17What do you know about women's clothing?
10:19What do you know about women's clothing?
10:20What do you know about women's clothing?
10:22Well, if you really have to know, I'm a personal clothes shopper.
10:33What do you know about women's clothing?
10:35Well, excuse me, style is style.
10:38There is no gender boundaries.
10:41Well, if that's all it is, why can't you just be honest about it?
10:45Because I signed an exclusive contract with the piano bar and said I wouldn't work anywhere
10:51at all.
10:52So, I need you to keep quiet.
10:56Don't worry, Uncle Tay.
10:57Have your secrets safe with me.
11:02Thanks, bro.
11:09That should be enough to get you through the night.
11:16Oh, hi.
11:17Looking forward to minding the baby.
11:23Can't wait.
11:24It's been so much fun.
11:26You really should get going.
11:30You don't want to miss out on this amazing date of yours.
11:32I'm desperate for some adult company.
11:35But if there are any problems at all with Thomas, please don't hesitate to call.
11:40We'll be back in a flash.
11:42I think we're well prepared this time, aren't we, little guy?
11:45Yeah.
11:46He has all of us to help take care of him.
11:49I doubt we'll need you at all.
11:54Okay, then.
11:56Come on, my little honey.
11:58You'll be brave for Daddy.
12:04See you.
12:05Yeah, bye.
12:11Look at that.
12:16Badge.
12:32I'm sorry, Vera, but that's not really in my job description.
12:36It says on your badge you're an assistant.
12:38Yeah, it does, but that doesn't mean I'm your personal assistant.
12:41I'm sort of here to help everybody.
12:43I'm sorry.
12:44But if you'll excuse me, I've got to go set up the rec room for line dancing.
12:47There goes my chance for Ron and Darryl.
12:52You know, they've only just moved in.
12:55And with blokes being in short supply around here, I need a new sexy outfit to stand out
13:00from the crowd.
13:01What?
13:02Trooping around the shopping malls on my own carrying all those bags.
13:07It plays havoc with my sciatica.
13:10And since your mean-spirited brother won't help me, I don't stand a chance.
13:16What if I told you you could pay someone to help you?
13:23Oh.
13:25Yes.
13:27Heard about your side hustle.
13:38And I want a piece of the action.
13:40Vera, I don't know what you're talking about.
13:47And I'm unavailable for literally anything anyways.
13:50Oh, I know that's not true.
13:53So don't play coy with me.
13:55I am a desperate woman with desperate needs.
14:00Hey, Elgatay.
14:02I tried to call you, but you won't pick up the phone.
14:05As you can see, Vera here is very excited to hire you as her personal shopper.
14:12I know I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but I thought, after you spent so much on
14:18the sneakers, I couldn't pay you by getting you some extra work.
14:21What are you doing first thing tomorrow?
14:23Good.
14:24Because I need to hit the mall the second it opens.
14:27Yeah.
14:28I wouldn't mind having another little brother.
14:38I could brainwash him just so much because of the library.
14:42Uh, yeah, as long as you don't show him berserk until he's much, much older because it'll
14:47just give him nightmares.
14:48Oh, you actually know your stuff.
14:50Yeah, what can I say?
14:52Just G-rated stuff, I promise.
14:54Good.
14:55Hey, darling, I was wondering after dinner, how do you feel about helping me give Thomas
15:00a bath?
15:01He just loves the water.
15:02Oh, they usually do at that age.
15:03We used to love giving kids baths.
15:06They're splashing and squealing.
15:08Cuteness overload.
15:09Yeah, I'd take that as a yes.
15:11Yeah, yeah, I'd love to.
15:13Good.
15:14Hey, did you hear that, babe?
15:16Bath bath.
15:17You're late.
15:25There's been no deposit into my bank account.
15:27I don't have the money yet.
15:29Trust funds take time to set up.
15:31I'm running out of patience, Chelsea.
15:33I want my money.
15:34There isn't any.
15:35You'll just have to wait.
15:36Do you want me to tell Paul?
15:41You have until tomorrow to get me my first payment.
15:44If you don't, the world you've worked so hard to build will come crashing down.
15:52Hey, Chelsea.
15:54Uh, are you okay?
15:57Was that guy hassling you?
15:58He just wanted to buy me a drink and didn't react kindly when I told him I wasn't interested.
16:04Oh, what'd he say exactly?
16:06Thank you so much for checking in.
16:11It's nothing I can't handle.
16:13Yeah, you just seem a little rattled.
16:15Do you want some company?
16:17Again, thank you.
16:18But no.
16:22Yeah, poor Ez.
16:31He deserves a holiday romance.
16:33It sucks it went south.
16:34I know.
16:35I feel like he's not having any luck in that department.
16:37Hmm.
16:38Do you think our honeymoon is cursed?
16:41Are we asking for trouble by doing this redo plan?
16:44No way.
16:45Look, this right here is the opposite of a curse.
16:49Yeah.
16:50What I love about us is no matter what happens, we get through it together and we come off better.
16:57Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka.
16:59Better together.
17:01Exactly.
17:02Are you ready to shop till you drop?
17:06Ready as I'll ever be.
17:10What are you doing here?
17:12Is it for an inspection?
17:13The place is kind of a mess.
17:14Oh, no.
17:15Don't be silly.
17:16I'm just hanging out with my good friend Tay.
17:20You got a problem with that?
17:23Uh, no, no, no problem.
17:26See ya.
17:30See?
17:31Your secret side hustle's safe with me.
17:34He won't suspect a thing.
17:36Let's just get going.
17:37Well, before you do, I need you to take my precise measurements.
17:43Well, you're my personal shopper, are you not?
17:48Hmm?
17:49Well, do your job.
17:51Yes.
17:53Ma'am.
17:55How was little Thomas?
18:00A little bundle of joy.
18:01You know, it was a dream.
18:03Thank you for bringing him over.
18:04Ah, pleasure.
18:05See ya.
18:06Cheers, guys.
18:09Will you be okay if he comes over again?
18:13Yeah, of course.
18:15It's just, you know, I got the feeling that you're not really that into use.
18:20Oh, Paul, Thomas is a beautiful, easy baby.
18:25And watching Noah play with him last night and seeing how happy you were,
18:30it was really lovely.
18:32But?
18:33But he's still Chelsea's baby.
18:36And every time I see him, I'm reminded of everything that I'm never going to be able to give you.
18:44You know what?
18:46Because I love you.
18:48I will eventually love him like you do.
18:51I promise.
18:54Hey, listen, why don't we go and have a yum cha?
18:56You haven't done that for a while.
18:57Oh, I promise Susan I'll pop him for a coffee.
18:59Oh, okay.
19:00Well, don't talk about me too much.
19:01No, I'll try not to.
19:02I'll try not to.
19:03No, my dog.
19:06Hey, Paul.
19:07Oh, good evening.
19:08Hey.
19:09What did you get out and about so early?
19:10Oh, yeah, I had to get out of the house.
19:12Yeah.
19:13Oh, cheers.
19:14What brings you to the street?
19:15Oh, just dropping Thomas off.
19:16Had him over so he could free Chelsea up a bit.
19:18Yeah.
19:19Yeah.
19:20Yeah, I, um, I saw her at the pub.
19:22She didn't seem like she was having a great one.
19:24Yeah, I walked in and she was in the middle of an argument with, um, some bald guy.
19:29She was on a date?
19:30Not that I could tell.
19:31Uh, she seemed super uncomfortable and he didn't stay for too long.
19:39That's my entire life savings.
19:41So until the trust fund's set up, don't ask for any more.
19:47If you want to become the new Mrs. Robinson, keep it coming.
19:52Yeah.
20:10Max told me that he saw you on your date last night.
20:14Said that you were arguing with a bald guy.
20:17Sounded a lot like Jeffrey.
20:18And now here he is again.
20:24Care to fill in the blanks, Chelsea?
20:29So, I happened to glance out my window this morning
20:33when I saw you coming out of your house, getting into your car
20:35with none other than...
20:38Vera Punt?
20:40Oh, are you having a fling?
20:42It's kind of a long story.
20:46But it's all about helping JJ.
20:48What?
20:49Well, I saw you telling Vera yesterday that you couldn't take her clothes shopping
20:51because it wasn't in your job description.
20:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
20:54No, she would not stop hassling me.
20:57Yeah.
20:58Well, when I told Tay about it,
20:59he decided to take some heat off you by offering to do it himself.
21:03Did you take Vera clothes shopping for me?
21:05That, and it helped me score points with the landlord.
21:07Win-win.
21:08I will take that.
21:09That's absolutely not what I was expecting, but that was a genuinely nice gesture.
21:14So, what clothes did Vera buy?
21:17I'm thinking like a full-length black-brown kind of sequin number.
21:20How did you know?
21:21Because I'm cropping an eye hole right now.
21:26You helped Vera buy that.
21:30Well, there was a lot of zipping and unzipping until we found the right one.
21:37How well?
21:38She looks amazing.
21:39And she's pulling two blokes at once.
21:41Go Vera!
21:50Chelsea, I can tell you're lying about your date.
21:54And to be honest, whatever you do with Geoffrey in your spare time,
21:56I really couldn't care less.
21:59But I can't and will not tolerate him being anywhere near my son.
22:04Now, I'm on the birth certificate and I am holding up my end,
22:09which I think entitles me to a say.
22:12Now, I mean it, Chelsea.
22:14If you expose that beautiful, innocent child to anybody like Geoffrey,
22:21I will call in the lawyer so quick your head will spit.
22:23He's not yours.
22:26What?
22:27Thomas.
22:38His biological father is Geoffrey.
22:40Coming up on Neighbours.
22:49Are you going to tell me what's going on?
22:51What happened with Paul?
22:52I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
22:54Oh, please.
22:55You know, you say you've changed,
22:56but you're the same creep I heard about growing up.
22:58I need to warn you.
22:59This meeting is a trap.
23:01Don't you follow me!
23:03Don't you follow me!
23:05Don't you follow me!
