00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Remember that manuscript I sent to Harold?
00:05He passed it on to a publisher.
00:07And she wants me to fly to Port Douglas.
00:10How would you feel about taking a trip to the Dandenongs?
00:13I need her to speak with a cognitive specialist.
00:15I was wondering if you might have a word with her.
00:17We might have to look into that.
00:19And her will.
00:20And maybe her power of attorney.
00:21This meeting is a trap.
00:23You want to lock me away in an asylum?
00:26I won't let me take you away.
00:28We'll make a bunch of our own.
00:58We'll make a bunch of papers because I do it fast.
01:06Ah, thank you.
01:07Ah, Agnes.
01:09Ah, three times in one day.
01:11I'm not stalking you, I promise.
01:13I just wanted to give you this.
01:16Ah, it's the family trip.
01:17Ah, how marvellous.
01:19Yeah.
01:20Well, I'm afraid we'll have to wait. I need to pack for Port Douglas.
01:23Yeah, about that. I have a crazy idea. Can I talk to you about it?
01:29Mm-hmm.
01:31You guys have really been going through it. I'm so sorry I didn't bring you back something nice.
01:35Well, we're sorry you had to walk into this.
01:37Hey, Mum. You don't think Nan overheard us talking about the power of attorney?
01:42Maybe.
01:43How do you get inside the head of someone with undiagnosed dementia?
01:46I really just wanted to have a nice day out with her.
01:50She wanted that too.
01:53Well, we'll take her to the Dandenongs another day when she's calmed down a bit.
02:00Hey. Hello. Sorry I'm late. You know how Mr. Kumar gets.
02:06I do, but I still don't expect to be kept waiting.
02:11Oh, Your Highness.
02:13This was a wonderful idea. I really wish Jane and the kids could be here,
02:18but they've got no one to blame but themselves.
02:23Excuse me. We're supposed to be enjoying the view.
02:28I demand your full attention.
02:30I'm sorry. I'm meeting an old friend. I was just checking my texts.
02:34You have my full attention.
02:37Oh, so I should.
02:39Come on. Let's go for a walk.
02:43Um, I think along here.
02:45How many times do I have to tell you? I can't.
02:49Why not?
02:50Oh, I can't just up and move to Port Douglas.
02:53Yeah, well, it wouldn't necessarily be forever. It would just be while you're reworking your book.
02:57That process could take months.
02:59Yeah, and that's my point, right? Instead of having to fly back and forth,
03:02why not just place yourself up there for a while?
03:06Look, I'm only saying this because I know you're not happy here.
03:09And up there, you'd have a friend in Harold.
03:13And how do you think he's going to feel with me suddenly turning up?
03:16Oh, you've been writing to each other, haven't you?
03:18That doesn't mean he wants me living around the corner.
03:21I think he would.
03:23Even if I wanted to move, I've made commitments here.
03:26I've bought the studio.
03:27Yeah, all residents come and go all the time. Like, you could sublet.
03:32Look, I just reckon it's worth thinking about.
03:39And you have no idea why she changed her mind?
03:41No, the outburst came from completely out of the blue.
03:45Joan, I'm so sorry.
03:47If she's not in her studio, would you have any idea where she might be?
03:51Oh, well, if I had to make a guess, I would say that she's
03:55maybe taken herself off for a manicure.
03:58Yeah, well, that sounds like mum.
04:00And how are things with you?
04:04Well, it's been a difficult couple of days.
04:07I still can't believe that Carl didn't tell me about his addiction from the start.
04:11Well, things did seem a little tense between you two since you've been back from overseas.
04:16Even so, after everything we've been through,
04:20I just want him to get better.
04:23And there's business with Darcy?
04:25Honestly?
04:27Therese and I are both still trying to get our head around it all.
04:31Hi.
04:31Hey, uh, sorry, random.
04:33Um, could I talk to you about Agnes's place here?
04:37Um, I'll leave you to it.
04:39I'll just keep looking for mum.
04:40Okay, good luck.
04:41Have a seat.
04:41Great, thank you.
04:55When Jane was young, she tried to climb one of these trees.
04:58Huh? She was an adventurous kid then?
05:02No.
05:03No, she was timid.
05:06She was always in her head trying to create a reason to be terrified.
05:11And I suppose I didn't help.
05:16I thought you were mad at Jane.
05:20Was I?
05:21Why?
05:21You were saying?
05:25Oh, I suppose I can be critical.
05:29And since I came back, I've been thinking about how my actions impact my family.
05:38If the truth be known, I was jealous of Jane.
05:42Jane, my mother allowed her to get away with things that I could only dream of.
05:52All I wanted to do was be beautiful.
05:54She made me feel like a criminal.
05:58Wasn't Jane's fault though, was it?
06:01She was always a really good daughter.
06:07She always deserved better than me.
06:12Oh, thank you.
06:26Oh, what you got there?
06:27Oh, yeah.
06:27This is the Robinson-Ramsay family tree.
06:32Paul helped me put it together for Agnes.
06:35Oh, wow.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Did she like it?
06:38She only looked at it briefly and then we kind of moved on to another subject.
06:42So many branches.
06:43Yeah.
06:44Do you see many of them?
06:45Yeah.
06:46Uh, when I was a kid, we used to go up to this function like every second weekend in Brizzy
06:49and I used to get pretty knarky about it, especially if my cousin Gemma was hosting.
06:56But now, um...
06:58Now it is nice to feel part of something.
07:00Yeah.
07:02You know, in a way, everyone on the street is caught up in this family.
07:06And it's not just, you know, who you know.
07:09The history, it's everywhere.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Tell me about it.
07:13You know, you should put this in the history book.
07:15Oh, yeah.
07:15That'd be cool.
07:16I've printed off a bunch.
07:18Do you want one?
07:19I would love that.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Thanks, Max.
07:21No worries.
07:22Amazing.
07:24Yeah.
07:25I'll see you later.
07:25See you later.
07:26Have a good one.
07:29Do you remember when we climbed a thousand steps?
07:33You were so young then and you were so scared.
07:35And I promised to hold your hand and never let it go.
07:42But I did let it go, didn't I?
07:45I was never there for you.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:52Oh.
07:54It's all right, Amanda.
07:55No.
07:57It's not all right.
07:58I thought I was talking to Jane.
08:03It's happening, isn't it?
08:05I thought something's wrong with my head.
08:10I, uh, I...
08:13Things keep slipping away and then I get confused.
08:18And then everything's okay again.
08:23Yeah, that's very common in the early stages of dementia,
08:29if that's what it is.
08:33That's what you think it is, don't you?
08:35Well, it's the most likely explanation for your symptoms.
08:41Then why didn't you side with Jane?
08:45Because I thought you needed someone in your corner.
08:49I know what that's like.
08:53It's only going to get worse, isn't it?
08:54Well, it's medication that can slow it down.
09:01But yes.
09:07I'm so sorry, Amanda.
09:08Agnes, it is wonderful news about your book.
09:24Oh, I'm chuffed.
09:25I loved reading it.
09:27It deserves to be published.
09:29Well, I'm beginning to believe that it might actually hit the shelves.
09:37Max told you about his suggestion.
09:40Yeah, are you seriously considering moving to Port Douglas for a while?
09:45I wasn't, but the more I come to think of it, it would make the meetings with the publisher a lot easier.
09:54Well, we'd hate to see you go, but your studio here shouldn't be a reason not to.
10:00We can make arrangements.
10:02Really?
10:03Yeah.
10:05Are you worried about your daughter?
10:06No, I'm sure she'd be supportive.
10:10So what's holding you back?
10:11Honestly, I suppose it's just Harold.
10:16He was so confronted by my resemblance to Madge.
10:21He got his head around that.
10:23He wouldn't have kept up the friendship if he wasn't comfortable.
10:28You want to go, don't you?
10:32I do.
10:36Could I?
10:38Could I?
10:41What's this?
10:51The Ramsay Robinson family tree.
10:55Max made it for Agnes.
10:56And it's pretty cool to actually see all the local history laid out like this.
11:02Yeah, it's pretty messy.
11:06Uh, welcome to Ramsay Street.
11:08God, there's so many of them.
11:12Yeah, and it looks like a lot of them are really close.
11:17I told you it was cool.
11:22And now we know for certain just how many kids Paul actually has.
11:26Until the next surprise turns up.
11:27Yeah.
11:28Oh!
11:40Yeah.
11:50Yes, oh, I'm sorry the line must be really bad. I definitely said Jenny's cap. It's been
12:12not be a conversation that could have been an email Darcy. I've been traipsing around
12:16for ages. I'm sorry. You've already given me the money you owe, why do you need to see me?
12:24Well after you spoke to Carl I realised just how much hurt you're still carrying. I can
12:29see by the way you came in here. I'm right. I just want to talk it out. Please let's just
12:41have a coffee. Yeah, and then I'll leave you alone. Do your worst.
12:50First, I really regret how I treated you. I take full responsibility for hurting you.
13:10And that's why I paid you back as soon as I could. I'm not going to say thank you for
13:17giving me what I deserve Darcy. No, no, no. That came out wrong. No, I mean I hate how we're
13:28at odds with each other. And I was hoping that if we cleared the air we could be friends again.
13:35No one's seen her at the day spa, but you know there's still a chance she could pop in later.
13:42Well, I mean that's it. We're out of options. I've checked the Irene common areas, the waterhole
13:48Haralds. If she's not in the day spa, then please- Susan's on her way over. I'm sure she
13:52might have another lead. And even if she doesn't have another lead, there's still plenty of places
13:57she might be. He's right, Mum. You know what she's like. She's probably going back to the
14:01North Shore to buy a designer bikini and a cocktail.
14:07No, I checked her room and everything's still there.
14:12Susan, please tell me you have some news. Some other residents saw her getting into the
14:17back of her car, but she didn't tell anybody where she was going.
14:20Well, did anyone recognise the car? No. When was this? A few hours ago. Jane, I spoke to Remy.
14:30And based on what you've said, how distressed Amanda was-
14:33You think we should call the cops?
14:37Alright.
14:40Poor Douglas, here you come. Return date unknown.
14:44I think it's really cool what you're doing. I wouldn't be doing it without a nudge from you.
14:49No.
14:50You are a very special young man, Max Ramsey. I don't know about that.
14:55Well, you could be doing anything with your life, but instead of that, you're worrying about me.
15:01Thank you. Oh, and I haven't thanked you properly for this. I should be devouring that on the plane.
15:07Great.
15:08Oh.
15:09Hi.
15:10Agnes.
15:11I'm so glad I caught you before you left.
15:13My car will be here in a few minutes.
15:15Does Harold know you coming?
15:16No.
15:17Um, I'm going to take him by surprise. That way I'll know whether he's happy to see me.
15:22I've told her he'll be happy.
15:24Well, even if he isn't, that'll be fine. I'll just stay out of his way and focus on my book.
15:30It's been so lovely getting to know you. The feeling is mutual. And for what it's worth, I think you and Madge would have been great friends too.
15:41Oh, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here. With all of you.
15:47Yeah, that's true. If JJ hadn't noticed the resemblance and invited you here, then...
15:51Yeah, I wouldn't have met Harold and he wouldn't have recommended me to the publisher and...
15:56That's all thanks to Madge.
15:59You seem thoughtful.
16:12Just thinking about family.
16:16Oh.
16:17Well you know that we can make one of these if you wanted.
16:21Get in contact with some of the cousins you don't see often.
16:26Yeah, it's a great idea.
16:29Bit missing a branch though, won't it?
16:33Your biological family?
16:36Guess this just made me curious.
16:40Well, you've had moments before.
16:42Yeah, I have.
16:45But I've never really been ready to take it further.
16:50But maybe I am now.
16:53Maybe.
16:56I know it's not the same thing.
16:59But when I connected with my cultural heritage, I found that it helped me make sense of myself in some way.
17:05You know, maybe you could also get some connection.
17:10Sorry.
17:11No, no, that's not right.
17:13Rodwell.
17:16Yes, I know Jane Harris.
17:18She's my neighbour.
17:22What do you need me to do?
17:24No.
17:25No, I haven't seen her.
17:26I'm with Tess.
17:30Yeah, yeah.
17:31If she contacts me, I'll let you know.
17:33Keep me posted.
17:35Alright.
17:36Thanks.
17:39Oh.
17:40Everything okay?
17:41Just one of the residents.
17:42She's gone missing for a few hours.
17:44Oh.
17:45Susan's just being cautious.
17:46She says hi, by the way.
17:48Well, I'm sad I didn't get to see her when I caught up with Carl.
17:52Yeah, she would have been happy to see you.
17:55Just like I am.
17:56Darcy.
17:57Can't just switch off everything that's happened.
18:00You cheated on me.
18:03I don't understand.
18:05I did everything right in our marriage.
18:08Yeah.
18:09You did.
18:10And I sabotaged everything that was good for me.
18:14You were good for me.
18:16Tess, I'm a better man than the one you married.
18:22Carl doesn't think so.
18:24Sure.
18:25Carl probably says a lot about me.
18:27He's got his own issues.
18:29Doesn't matter what kind of place I'm at with Carl.
18:34I'm lucky that we're a season for this.
18:37Oh, she's taken a big leap of faith.
18:40Yeah.
18:42She has.
18:45I understand if you can't.
18:53But I want you in my life.
18:57Is there a chance we could start again?
19:00With a clean slate?
19:02I'm not sure.
19:12But I do appreciate you making peace.
19:24We found a car on CCTV leaving Irene.
19:27It's a rideshare.
19:28The driver said that he dropped Amanda off in the Dandenong Ranges.
19:31I wish you with anyone.
19:32Amanda was the only passenger.
19:36She never usually does anything without an audience.
19:39Not helpful.
19:40Mum, you know better than anyone else what she's like.
19:44I know that she's unwell but she's still functional.
19:47This is probably just her sticking two fingers up at us.
19:50Nick.
19:51You said yourself that you were still hoping to do your trip.
19:54Maybe Amanda felt the same way and that's all this is.
19:57She could be having a Devonshire tea as we speak.
19:59Or she could be lost.
20:00I mean that National Park's massive.
20:02You remember what happened with you and Dad out there.
20:03Hey, let's not freak out.
20:06Let's wait till we get more information.
20:08Plus Amanda wouldn't go anywhere if she can get money, right?
20:11Sadie's right.
20:13The best thing that you can do is just stay calm and wait for her to contact you.
20:17I'll go into the station now.
20:18We'll get some boots on the ground in the Dandenongs.
20:20And like Nicolette said, I mean, by all accounts your mum's still pretty with it.
20:24She hasn't been gone long.
20:26Alright, thank you Andrew.
20:27Okay, bye.
20:28Okay, bye.
20:29Agnes.
20:30My husband Teresa was geoutred.
20:31I'm here.
20:32You were here.
20:33You were here.
20:34été en
20:39Agnes! You got it right that time. What are you doing here? I thought you'd be hard at work,
21:04working on your notes from your publisher. Well she wanted a meeting in person and it turns out
21:11there are going to be a few more meetings so I thought I'd base myself here for a while.
21:18Is that all right with you? Come in, I'll make you a pot of tea. The perfect blend.
21:24Oh. So you really liked this guy Colton? He was amazing. I mean from the little I got to know him.
21:39Sounds like you got to know a lot of him. Yeah well none of that matters anyway because I stuffed
21:43it up, didn't I? No judgement. I told a few porkies when I met Kiri. Oh great, I'm turning into you.
21:51Fun. I wish your dad had given me something to do. I could have told him none of his favourite
21:57spots in the Dandenongs. Look, I know it's hard but you've got to trust him. He's got this.
22:06I'm going to get you a fresh tea.
22:07Jane. Jane. I'm so sorry. What? What? Oh no! Oh no!
22:27Coming up on Neighbours. I am going to keep a very close eye on Darcy to suggest you do the same thing.
22:46Keep your enemies close. Jane you tried. I don't know that I'm ever going to be able to forgive myself.
22:51He was meant to meet her with another colleague. Wendy, I actually...
22:54Why would he go back on his word and not tell me?
