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