00:48alive his dad's transfer to Yabba Creek station permanent as far as I know yeah it turns out
00:54we're not each other's biggest fans how come are you not impressed that I involved a civilian in a
00:58high-risk police operation you don't understand cash is a mate so he couldn't stop his mate from
01:04getting caught up in the middle of a police operation it wasn't like that why did you come through to take
01:10a seat so I was being nice to him and then he shuts me down so what do I do I like shrimp sounds like you had every right to I don't know calling the boss a hypocrite on the first date does seem like a poor choice in
01:30yeah I mean that's a it's an interesting way to resign oh ha ha ha ha I'm kidding I'm kidding
01:37you're a great cop the new side will see that look how good you've been with Lacey oh and there's a
01:43whole other awkward situation that he's going to put me in I cannot believe that he's her dad so
01:48well yeah so what are you gonna do oh can you make a complaint you know unfair treatment or
01:56something except most of what he's pulling me up on is true it's right there in my pile
02:00cash Newman speaking yes serge I'm on the way you gotta go I've been summoned yeah okay bye good luck
02:17yep I have everything I need thank you for your time but you still don't understand like I said cash
02:28needed backup bottom line you shouldn't have been there your safety was compromised okay okay looking
02:33back it was a risk we're not in the business of taking our mates to police rescues Newman in here
02:47your mate was explaining those extenuating circumstances you were talking about earlier
02:53okay so he got into the patrol car and you didn't stop him end of story it was a bit more complicated
03:00than that was it tell me what exactly is your definition of extenuating circumstances

03:54Avalon Bracken yep I know my ex-manager made me listen to your album like 50 times when it first
04:02came out what's going on here Avalon was the big thing when I was working with Forrest oh you're
04:08making me sound like I'm a hundred years old self-funded first album and recording the second one next
04:13door nice to meet you I'm Remy this is Kirby look that really did sound amazing maybe think about some
04:21backing vocals I really give it more depth we'd better get back to it yeah of course I uh guess
04:31I'll see you around yeah catch up where'd the attitude come from who walks into someone else's
04:41recording session and starts giving advice she's just being friendly why is she getting under your
04:45skin because Forrest told me over and over and over again that she's my competition and she is
04:51she's really good okay why don't we call today yeah it's a good idea I'm wrecked I'm gonna stay
04:58here a bit longer I want to get a jump on tomorrow maybe do some work on some of the tracks we put
05:03down are you sure I feel bad for leaving you here to work it's cool but uh maybe do me a favor
05:09maybe think about those backing vocals I mean Avalon had a good point
05:16yes I guess I know she did that's a problem why don't we ask Aidan okay no one's voice compliments
05:23yours like hers and it'd be great having her in here you know a bit of magic

08:30sounds like he's got it in for the both of you
08:32he's impossible I thought he was going to arrest me
08:34no don't worry if he's going to arrest someone it's going to be me
08:36well you did say that he had some personal stuff going on so

09:36because we'll never see eye to eye
09:38but he's your dad I'm sure he still loves you
09:42that's why I left
09:44this love doesn't mean anything you proved that when mum died
09:49Lacey I'm so sorry
09:53you seem to care more about that than he does
09:55oh I'm sure that's not true
09:57no it is
09:58he was more interested in forgiving the driver than he was mourning the loss of his own wife
10:03the driver that was responsible for your mother's death
10:07how long has it been since you left home?
10:15about six months
10:16I uh
10:18changed my name
10:19never looked back and then he shows up
10:23he's the new police sergeant at Yavvy Creek
10:25your dad's a cop
10:27does Theo know any of this?
10:30well he knows mum died but that's all
10:33Lacey I can't even pretend to understand what you're going through
10:38but do you think it's right that you keep running?
10:43whatever you decide to do
10:45it's entirely your call
10:47but you need to be up front with Theo
10:50okay
10:51guitar solo
11:21guitar solo
11:51That is not how producers play guitar
11:53Yeah, it's how this one does after hours
11:55Where's the diva?
11:59Don't call her that
12:00Sorry, but she really needs to chill
12:03What are you doing here so late?
12:06It's not late for me, creature of the night
12:08Are you still recording?
12:10No, we're out having a drink next door if you want to join us

12:19It's not that, it's got a lot to do tomorrow
12:21So, next time
12:23So yourself
12:25But FYI, you looked like you were having
12:28Way more fun kicking back with the guitar
12:29Than you did at the mixing desk
12:31Swing by for a nightcap
12:35You can change your mind
12:36About time you got home
12:45Oh, I didn't realise you were waiting for me
12:46So, how'd it go?
12:48Good
12:48Yeah?
12:49Mostly
12:49I mean, we were working on my favourite track
12:51But we feel like there's something missing
12:53Well, I thought you were happy with it
12:54I was
12:55I mean, I am
12:56I just
12:57Think we need some backing vocals
13:00And I was really hoping that you would do it
13:03You want me to sing back up for your album?
13:07I know that it's late notice
13:08But it's only one track
13:09And Remy and I can't think of anyone more perfect
13:12So please
13:13Say yes
13:14Yes
13:17Yes
13:17We need to be back in the studio first
13:19Thanks
13:19It's gonna be just like old times
13:21Thank you
13:23Well, goodnight
13:24Goodnight
13:30What's going on?
13:37Here you go
13:38This may help
13:40Thanks
13:41I've been thinking
13:44You're right
13:46I shouldn't just leave town because of Dad
13:49What about Theo?
13:51Are you gonna tell him that you were planning on leaving?
13:53What about your dad?
13:54Hey
13:55Hey
13:55Hey
13:57Lace, what are you doing here?
13:58Uh, I just ran into Leah and we got talking
14:01How'd you go to the hospital?
14:04Got the all clear from the doctor
14:05So I'll start with Tanya tomorrow
14:07Good
14:07What are you guys talking about?
14:13Uh, we were just gonna cook dinner, weren't we?
14:17Great
14:17I'm starving
14:18Yeah, who wants a drink?
14:20Yeah, yeah
14:21Great idea
14:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine
14:31I'm so glad that you're here
14:37Me too
14:38I hope Tanya doesn't go too easy on me
14:55I know he said we'll start slow, but
14:59I'll be right
15:00I'm not sure how long I'm gonna be
15:06Are you sticking around?
15:10Hey
15:10Huh?
15:12Sorry
15:13You've been a bit quiet
15:15Fine
15:17It was really cool that you hung out with Leah yesterday
15:23I enjoyed it
15:25Yeah, I get the impression she did too
15:26I know it's hard
15:29She reminds you of your mum
15:31But it means a lot to me that you're making the effort
15:34Hey
15:37Ready for your first session?
15:39Let's do it
15:39Glad you're pumped
15:41Hey, you're welcome to join us
15:42If you're gonna watch me yell at your boyfriend
15:44Hmm
15:44Sounds fun, but
15:46I reckon I'll pass
15:48You sure?
15:49Yeah
15:49We gotta keep job hunting
15:50But good luck
15:52How many coffees does it take to produce an album?
16:00Can't wait for you to come in and have a listen at some point
16:02Same
16:02It's going well then
16:03Yeah, yeah, Eden's coming in and lay down some back and back
16:05Nice
16:06Lacey
16:07I'll chat to you soon
16:08Right on, mate
16:09Hey, um
16:10Thanks for helping out with dinner last night
16:12Okay
16:12It is a rare thing
16:14For Leah to let anyone into her kitchen
16:16It was fun
16:17Alright
16:17You should do it more often
16:19Catch your hand
16:20Thanks for coming
16:24No, I'm not staying
16:24I'll keep it short
16:27Can't help feeling you and I ended up in the same place for a reason
16:33And I feel like it's an unfortunate coincidence
16:36Just get to the point
16:40I was hoping we could talk about where we go from now
16:43How we go nowhere
16:44Come on, Marcy
16:45No, no, I mean it
16:46If you see me
16:48You walk the other way
16:49We're not going to have coffee
16:51You'll be friends
16:52So please get that possibility out of your head right now
16:55I'm your dad
16:57Is this really how it's going to be?
17:03Absolutely
17:04I want nothing to do with you
17:07Ever
17:08We can go through everything on the way
17:30But I know how quick you are at picking up music
17:32So I know it's not going to be a problem
17:34Also, if you have any ideas whatsoever
17:37I'm so happy to hear them
17:38Coffee
17:38Thank you
17:40Thank you
17:40Oh, do you feel that?
17:43Feels like old times
17:44Yeah, except it's not like old times, is it?
17:49Hmm?
17:52I can't do it
17:53I'm sorry
17:54What?
17:55Why not?
17:56Because I can't get my head around the idea of stepping up to the microphone when it's not with the band
18:01I'm so grateful that you asked me, but you're going to have to get someone else
18:06Okay
18:09I'll meet you outside
18:13Don't look at me like that
18:24Look, I feel the same way about where things landed for the band, you know that
18:29But you, me and Kirby, we are Luke
18:31Okay, it started with us
18:32So maybe instead of getting caught up on how things ended
18:36Think about all the fun we had getting there
18:38Hmm?
18:40Hey, Sarge
18:54I feel like we got off on the wrong foot yesterday
18:57Can we try again?
18:59Great minds
19:00Because I was going to say
19:02I think a clean slate
19:04Do us both some good
19:10Ordering you to bring in Lacey was an abuse of power
19:13It won't happen again
19:15I've had no idea where she's been for the past six months
19:24I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her name on that case file
19:29I'm grateful to you for the care you took of her during that case
19:34I appreciate that
19:36I've decided there'll be no formal action against you for involving a citizen in police operations
19:45Thank you
19:46But that doesn't change the fact that you knowingly went against protocol
19:50You'll be on traffic duty until further notice
19:56Yes, Sarge
19:57I trust you'll be doing things by the book
20:02You have my word
20:03That'll be all, Newman
20:07Thank you
20:19The only other person I can think to ask is Theo
20:22But I really think we need a female vocal
20:25Yeah, I agree
20:25Okay, I'll make some calls once we get in the studio
20:27Get all set up
20:28What the hell are you doing?
20:33Nothing
20:34Seriously, what is this?
20:35Relax, I was just looking for some menus for some takeaway
20:39Well, you have no right to be here
20:40What was she looking through?
20:44Just our notes from yesterday
20:45See?
20:47I need to call this TIA, your secrets are safe
20:49I'll leave you to it
20:51Enjoy your day
20:54This is a surprise
21:04Friend?
21:05Fancy a game?
21:06Friend?
21:06Yeah, I guess so
21:07Friend?
21:07I think we'd be really wrong
21:09As a car
21:09Dana, are you in there?
21:15Hey, Harper
21:16What you doing here?
21:18They're just friends
21:19Hi
21:20Hi
21:20But could they be something more?
21:22Just friends, remember?
21:24Took the words right out of my mouth
21:25I don't do relationships
21:28Sounds like she is your girlfriend, brother
21:31He said that you and I are in a relationship, aren't we?
21:34I mean, you tell me
21:35Well, I asked you first
21:36I asked you last
21:37Home and Away
21:40Next week on Seven
