Transcript
00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and no way
00:06Hi, John, have you heard the news?
00:09No, what?
00:10It's my birthday.
00:11Happy birthday.
00:12What is the holdup, guys?
00:13We have to go celebrate me.
00:14Molly, this is gorgeous.
00:16I reckon it turned out alright.
00:18I cannot wait to see her face when she sees it.
00:21This is for me?
00:23Seriously?
00:24Nice set of wheels.
00:25I know.
00:26Pretty cool, huh?
00:27How am I supposed to compete with that?
00:29I can't let that wouldn't come cheap.
00:31Oh, who cares how much it costs, okay?
00:32Once she sees how much work you've been...
00:34No, there is no way I'm giving that to her now.
00:36Years ago, I fell pregnant and I lost the baby.
00:41You just did the fertility test.
00:43They said the results can take a while to come back.
00:45They said two business days.
00:47At minimum.
00:49The results are in.
00:50They want us to call them.
00:52Sweet.
00:53Let's do it.
00:56Wait.
00:57I'm not sure if I want to know.
00:59Life is always wasted on the young.
01:04Alright, miss.
01:06I think you need to relax.
01:07I'm working non-stop all week.
01:09That doesn't mean that you're not thinking about Sunny non-stop all week.
01:14Sunny who?
01:15Hmm.
01:15I'm kidding.
01:17Look, we are just friends because we've got closure.
01:20Now, that's one word for it.
01:22Half of them wanted me to put the issue to bed.
01:24So I did.
01:25Okay.
01:27I am not into your methods.
01:28As long as it did the trick.
01:30Mmm.
01:32Mmm.
01:40Hi.
01:41Hi.
01:44What?
01:45Well, well, well.
01:46Here he is back again.
01:47Well, what can I say, Irene?
01:49The coffee's top shelf.
01:50Yes, well, I'm sure.
01:52That's why you've been wandering past here every morning for the last couple of days.
01:58Oh, you know me.
01:59Love my fresh air.
02:01Also, don't mind a spot of pool at the surf club either.
02:05Is that right?
02:07Yeah, I might actually wander over there later for a game or two.
02:10Well, thank you for announcing that to everyone here.
02:15Pleasure.
02:16Irene?
02:17Mm-hmm.
02:22Just friends, remember?
02:24Took the words right out of my mouth.
02:25Mm-hmm.
02:29All right.
02:30So, what are you thinking for dinner?
02:32We've got pasta or we could do curry or maybe tacos.
02:35What do you think Abby wants?
02:37Why don't we ask her right after we call the fertility clinic?
02:40Mm?
02:42Oh, hey.
02:43I'm glad you're here.
02:45I felt bad about what happened.
02:46Don't worry about it.
02:47We didn't mean to outdo you with the card.
02:49And I feel like Abby is still going to love your painting.
02:53Like I said, I'm sticking a pin in that.
02:56But I've got another idea, so it's all good.
03:01Marley, if you want to do a treasure hunt for my birthday present,
03:04you're going to have to give me a clue, okay?
03:05I'm sorry, I...
03:07No, no, no, please, no more stories.
03:08I cannot take it anymore.
03:09I just tore apart our room looking for it.
03:11What I meant was I stuffed up, okay?
03:13I ordered something, but it's not coming until tomorrow.
03:17Oh.
03:17Well, okay, why don't you just tell me that?
03:19Because I was too busy booking us a table
03:23at the new seafood joint in the Abbey Creek.
03:25Aw.
03:26Okay, I need to change.
03:27Well, now that we're off the hook for dinner,
03:38why don't we make that call?
03:40Let's just call them in the morning.
03:41You have tomorrow off, yeah?
03:42Mackenzie...
03:43Lever, I just...
03:43I don't want to risk spoiling today if it's bad news.
03:46Okay?
03:49Oh, okay.
03:50Well, say hello tonight, big fella.
04:02Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't be,
04:04but it seems as though I am.
04:06Story of my life.
04:08Hello, both of you.
04:11John, I've just come to check on the roster.
04:15Checked it this morning.
04:16Heard it changed.
04:17No, I didn't do to hold you that.
04:20You know what?
04:21I can't remember.
04:23Anyway, you can go now.
04:28Righto.
04:29Bye, John.
04:35This is a surprise, friend.
04:38Yeah, you fancy a game, friend?
04:41Yeah, I guess so.
04:43Friend.
04:47You know, this is a bit of a relief.
04:51Yeah, why is that?
04:53I just, uh...
04:54I was kind of worried it would be weird between us,
04:57after everything.
05:01But it's not.
05:03Mush up.
05:04Yeah, no, we're, um, much better as friends.
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:09I think we'd be really wrong as a couple.
05:11Yeah, yes.
05:15So wrong.
05:17I mean, hot.
05:19But, uh...
05:21Wrong.
05:22Wrong.
05:23Wrong.
05:34Wrong.
05:40Nothing.
05:41I see.
05:42She's gonna get it.
05:44Sponsored.
05:44Sponsored.
05:47Sponsored.
05:48Sponsored.
05:48So, I'm so pissed.
05:49Sponsored.
05:50Sponsored.
05:51Sponsored.
05:51Hey, you're up.
05:59Have you...
06:00Shhh.
06:01Are you guys still asleep?
06:02Sorry.
06:03Have you seen Marley?
06:04No, I only just got up.
06:05Why?
06:06Because he's A-all.
06:07I went to check if he was working in the shed, but he must have taken off somewhere.
06:10Well, he's probably taking a lesson or something.
06:12No, because he's cut back on his classes.
06:14It's only fucking me because he was so odd at dinner last night.
06:17Yeah?
06:18Yeah.
06:19Do you know if something's going on?
06:20No idea.
06:21Anyway, I really need to get ready for it.
06:23Okay, well, I can drive you in.
06:24Alright, let me just get change of lighting.
06:26Alright.
06:31Surprise, surprise, Marley's not here either.
06:33Well, maybe he'll get back to you as soon as he checks his phone.
06:36Yeah, I doubt it.
06:37Because he's up to something and I can feel it.
06:38Oh, just give him a break, okay?
06:40No, you wouldn't be saying that if you were at dinner last night, okay?
06:42There's something off.
06:43Okay, well, maybe you should try asking him.
06:45Uh, I did and he said that there was nothing to worry about.
06:48Do you think that he's annoyed with me?
06:50What?
06:51No.
06:52No, I was a bit much about the whole birthday thing.
06:53And you were excited, that's all.
06:54No, I was completely over the top.
06:55Okay, this is about the present he got you, alright?
06:57The one that's coming today?
06:59No, the one that he was going to give you yesterday but then decided not to.
07:02Why not?
07:03What is it?
07:04Doesn't matter.
07:05Mackenzie.
07:06Why didn't he give it to me?
07:07You're going to have to talk to him.
07:09But you know what it is.
07:10Yes, he showed me.
07:11Where?
07:12No, I'm not telling you that.
07:13Well, I touched a whole house and it's not there, so...
07:19Wait, Abby, no.
07:21Oh, is this it?
07:22Yeah.
07:23What do you think?
07:24Yeah.
07:25What do you think?
07:27Well, yeah, I mean, there's like, there's people that stay up and partying and whatever
07:47until dawn.
07:48But, um, I don't know.
07:51This is my favourite kind of all-nighter.
07:54Talking until the sun comes up.
07:56Yeah.
07:57It's a nice change, actually.
08:01My sleepovers are usually more about the pub before talking.
08:05Are you saying you've actually never done this?
08:08Dude, that's super sad.
08:11Most people aren't that interesting.
08:13Why?
08:14You're such a charmer.
08:15You.
08:16You're an exception.
08:20Do you say that to all the girls?
08:22No, just the cute ones.
08:24You're the worst.
08:26Now you sound like your sister.
08:28Ugh.
08:29Let's not talk about my sister right now.
08:31Yeah, no, just fair.
08:32In fact, we don't have to talk about anything, really.
08:36I can't.
08:37I have to go.
08:39Mm-mm.
08:40How are you doing?
08:41Yes, I do.
08:42It's gonna be hard to convince Harper that we're just friends if she knows that I was here last night.
08:49I thought you didn't want to talk about your sister anymore.
08:52That's true, I don't.
08:54Mm-mm.
08:55Stay.
08:56Just a little longer.
08:57You're not taking me yet.
08:58Mm.
08:59Not even close.
09:00Okay.
09:01I guess five minutes.
09:02Kind of.
09:03Five minutes.
09:04Five minutes.
09:05Five minutes.
09:06Five minutes.
09:07Five minutes.
09:08Five minutes.
09:09That painting is amazing. I don't get why he didn't give it to me yesterday.
09:21Uh, hello?
09:22This generation's always on their phones.
09:23Okay, since you're not working, feel free not to be here.
09:24Happy to go as soon as you explain why Marley changed his mind about giving me his gift.
09:28Look, all I know is that he was going to give it to you and then we got in first with the car.
09:35Right.
09:36Right.
09:37Well, you know how proud he is.
09:38Oh, yeah.
09:39Mm.
09:40Mm.
09:41Mm.
09:42Mm.
09:43Mm.
09:44Mm.
09:45Mm.
09:46Mm.
09:47Mm.
09:48Mm.
09:49Mm.
09:50Mm.
09:51Mm.
09:52Mm.
09:53Mm.
09:54Mm.
09:55Mm.
09:56Mm.
09:57Oh, incoming.
09:59Uh, here he is.
10:01The international man of mystery himself.
10:04Sorry for ghosting you.
10:06Mm.
10:07I've been out picking up your birthday present.
10:10Where ya now?
10:11Hm.
10:12Do you wanna come downstairs and get?
10:15Lead the way.
10:16Are you ready?
10:30Am I up.
10:32You know, we could just wait a little bit longer if you like.
10:35Oh, shut up.
10:38Close your eyes.
10:46There you go.
10:54What is it?
10:56Well, with tradition, you're supposed to unwrap a gift to find out what it is.
10:59Ha ha.
11:10I like it.
11:11Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful.
11:19No dramas if you don't.
11:21I can give you the receipt and you can exchange it.
11:25Can I exchange it for the gift you were originally going to give me?
11:30Because that's what I really want.
11:34Martha sends her love.
11:36She reckons Rue's gradually coming good, too.
11:38Oh, love, that's fantastic.
11:40Well, I'm not sure why you didn't just buy her a car to make her feel better.
11:43That's what people do around here now, apparently.
11:46Well, it was only a matter of time before the beige resident Penny Pinscher weighed in on that.
11:51Well, what's wrong with a normal present like a book or some socks?
11:54And you wonder why you're still single.
11:57I don't, actually.
11:58Yeah.
12:02Oh, if it isn't the world's most beautiful baby.
12:08Ha ha.
12:08No arguments here.
12:12So, love, can I get you something to drink or are you out for a stroll?
12:15Oh, I would love a latte.
12:17And do you know where Dana is?
12:18Tana's about to take him for a few hours.
12:20I was hoping we could hang out.
12:22The house was pretty quiet when I snuck out a couple of hours ago.
12:25Maybe she was asleep.
12:26Mm.
12:27She wasn't in her room when I got up.
12:29It didn't look like her bed had been slept in either.
12:32Maybe she's just finishing off another one of those graveyard shifts at the hospital.
12:35Yeah, maybe.
12:38I'll grab you a coffee.
12:39It's definitely been more than five minutes.
12:46Mm.
12:47No, I don't think it has.
12:49Let me see.
12:50Let me see.
12:51Dana, are you in there?
12:53No, she's not.
12:58So busted.
12:59I heard that.
13:00Who are you talking to?
13:02Uh, no one.
13:03Just myself.
13:04Stop.
13:05Open up.
13:05Is this for real?
13:07She's a crazy person.
13:08Yeah, you're related to her.
13:09No, I'm adopted.
13:10I swear.
13:10You are not.
13:11Get out here.
13:14I'm coming in there.
13:20Hey, Harper.
13:22What you doing here?
13:23Clothes on.
13:24Let's go.
13:25I think this is a bit of an overreaction.
13:27I am not speaking to you.
13:28I am speaking to my sister.
13:30We're going now.
13:31It was really nice to hear Martha's voice this morning,
13:41and really good to know that Rue is in a better place.
13:44Oh, that is great news.
13:48Alf mentioned that earlier.
13:49Didn't you hear him?
13:50Oh, sorry.
13:51Must have forgot to clip me using that.
13:54And since when have you started wearing your watch again?
13:57What are you on about?
13:58Your watch.
13:59You told me you stopped wearing that ages ago.
14:01And that is honestly the most embarrassing thing
14:03that's ever happened to you.
14:04You asked for it.
14:05Can you hear yourself?
14:06What gives you the right to break into Sunny's place?
14:08I did break down.
14:09And then kick down the bedroom door.
14:11No, I didn't kick down the door.
14:11And then yell at me.
14:12Oh, I didn't yell at you.
14:14What is this called?
14:15Is it screeching?
14:16Oi, oi.
14:17Can you please keep it down?
14:19I'm trying to run a business here.
14:22I was protecting you.
14:23Well, I don't need protecting you.
14:25Except somehow you've forgotten everything that we talked about.
14:28It is the same thing every time you fall for the wrong guys
14:31and then I have to pick up the pieces.
14:32In fact, I had to give up my entire life
14:34and move here because of your poor choices.
14:37So then it's really about you, isn't it?
14:39Can you please pipe down?
14:41You are scaring my customers away.
14:44Yeah, don't worry.
14:44This conversation is over.
14:45Sorry, Irene.
14:51I just, I know she's going to get hurt.
14:53So is this all about Sonny then?
14:55He seems like a nice guy to me.
14:56You're not helping, John.
14:58Look, love, I get where you're coming from.
15:00I was worried too at first.
15:02But all that business with the River Boys
15:03is done and dusted now, isn't it?
15:05That doesn't suddenly make Sonny a good guy.
15:07Well, by all accounts, it does.
15:11Apparently, he is a decent bloke
15:13and he's clearly besotted with Dana.
15:19Well, this is beautiful.
15:23Thanks.
15:24Come on, you almost didn't give it to me.
15:27Look, I was worried that it wasn't enough,
15:31especially after the other guys gave you a car.
15:33Hey, come on.
15:34We all know Levi and they got me that car
15:36so that I would stop borrowing his.
15:38Sounds like I did pretty good then.
15:39Yeah, you did.
15:41You don't ever need to worry that you're not enough.
15:44Okay?
15:45Okay.
15:47Okay.
15:48Because it's true.
15:50I love you.
15:52I love you too.
15:53I love you.
16:03You know, I was wondering when you might turn up.
16:12I'm really sorry for dodging your calls.
16:16Have you been avoiding me or the call to the clinic?
16:19That would be a yes to both.
16:24You don't need to be scared.
16:26We're in this together.
16:28I know that.
16:29And I'm now ready to rip the bandaid off
16:32and get the results.
16:34Are you sure?
16:38It's going to be all right.
16:42Seriously, what she did was so out of line.
16:45It's like, it's not funny.
16:47A little bit funny.
16:49No, it's not.
16:50Okay, are you more mad about what happened
16:52or the fact that you are related to a crazy person?
16:55Your words.
16:55She's not that bad.
17:00Hey, come on.
17:02Let's forget about this.
17:03I'll go grab you some breakfast.
17:04I think it's almost lunch.
17:06Let's grab some lunch.
17:09What do you say?
17:11That sounds good.
17:13Good.
17:14I might have a shower first.
17:15Is that okay?
17:15Yeah, yeah, go for it.
17:16Okay.
17:17Okay.
17:17Okay.
17:17Do you want to join me?
17:27I thought you'd never ask.
17:28I just have one question for you.
17:57And then I'll leave you alone.
17:58Come on in.
18:00What are your intentions with my sister?
18:04I've had fathers and brothers ask me that
18:05and a cousin once as well, I think.
18:07But never a sister.
18:08This isn't funny.
18:09I'm not laughing.
18:12I don't want my sister getting involved
18:14with someone that's just going to use her.
18:17Are you calm?
18:18No.
18:19Seriously?
18:20Dana, I...
18:21No, I take it all back.
18:23She is that bad.
18:24I just came to ask Sonny a question
18:26which he's not answering, might I add.
18:28I was going to say...
18:29No, no, no.
18:29Don't say anything.
18:31You and I are not going to do this here.
18:35Fine.
18:35I will wait for you outside.
18:38Fine.
18:38Fine.
18:40Good.
18:40Good.
18:46Good.
18:46Good.
18:46You ready?
18:54As I'll ever be.
19:05Dr. Ogilvie speaking.
19:07Hi.
19:07Hi, it's Mackenzie Booth.
19:09You're just on speaker with my partner Levi.
19:11Hey.
19:11How you doing?
19:12Great, thanks.
19:13You must be after your test results.
19:15Only if they're good.
19:17One second, and I'll bring them up.
19:20Bear with me.
19:22Okay, I've got them here now.
19:26And it looks like good news.
19:28Yeah?
19:29Your antral follicle count is perfect for your age group.
19:34The AMH level is in a good range,
19:37and the FHS is normal.
19:39So, everything's fine?
19:41Yes.
19:42If you have any questions at all, get back to us.
19:44Otherwise, good luck.
19:46Okay, thank you very much.
19:51Mm.
19:54Smile, babe.
19:55This is good news.
19:56Well, if it's so good, then why aren't we already pregnant?
19:58You've actually lost it.
20:02How do you show up like that again?
20:04Is it the last time I was only trying to protect you like I have always done?
20:07Yeah, yeah.
20:08Oh, my God.
20:08The big sister protection thing.
20:09I get it.
20:10I do, okay?
20:11But it has to stop because I'm not a kid anymore.
20:13You will always be my little sister.
20:14No, no, I'm an adult.
20:16I can make my own choices.
20:17You, you're bad ones!
20:18Like, you are the only one that has made bad choices lately.
20:23What?
20:25I'm done.
20:26We just only got...
20:27No, with you.
20:28You have always been this control freak, but frankly, it is out of control now, and I can't
20:34take another minute of it.
20:35And I mean it.
20:36I actually mean it.
20:37From now on, I want you to focus on your own life, and you're going to stay the hell out
20:40of mine.
20:54All I did was ask Sunny a genuine question about where he's headed with my sister.
20:59Oh, no!
21:00Are you kidding?
21:00No.
21:01What does she think your intentions are?
21:02We've been hooking up for two days.
21:04Just tell me that you're not going to hurt her, and you're not going to string her along
21:07and make promises that you can't keep.
21:08I prefer to under-promise and over-deliver, typically.
21:10Why can't you answer a simple question?
21:12We're not doing this.
21:13No, we're done.
21:13We have to do this.
21:14This is not your problem.
21:15Dana, we've got to talk about it!
21:17Well, I don't want to talk about it!
21:18Fine then!
21:19Rack off!
21:19This is me racking off!
