00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:16That is not how producers play guitar.
00:18This can't be a coincidence.
00:19Avalon doesn't write her own songs and now she's sniffing around our studio.
00:23I will stay out of Kirby's hair if you play on my album.
00:27Do you mind if I take a look at the scheduling? There's a few things I want to move around.
00:29Did something come up?
00:30No, no, nothing you need to worry about.
00:32We just did the fertility test.
00:34They said the results can take a while to come back.
00:37Your antral follicle count is perfect for your age group.
00:41So, everything's fine?
00:42Yes.
00:43Smile, but this is good news.
00:45If it's so good then why aren't we already pregnant?
00:48Dana, are you in there?
00:50Hey Harper, whatcha doing here?
00:53It is the same thing every time.
00:55You fall for the wrong guys and then I have to pick up the pieces.
00:58I just have one question for you and then I'll leave you alone.
01:00What are your intentions with my sister?
01:02I'm an adult.
01:03From now on I want you to focus on your own life and you're going to stay the hell out of mine.
01:07Hey!
01:08How is it out there?
01:09Terrible mate.
01:10You'd hate it.
01:11That's your first session with Tonnet go?
01:13Yeah, good.
01:14Mate, I am feeling it today though, eh?
01:16He's not pushing you too hard is he?
01:17Nah, he's not going to risk my recovery.
01:20How are things at home without me?
01:21Oh.
01:22Oh.
01:23Leah still smashing you on PlayStation?
01:24Oh.
01:25Lucky for me I think that was a one time thing, you know?
01:28It's just good to see her laugh again.
01:30Yeah, it is.
01:31See ya.
01:32See ya.
01:33See ya.
01:34Alright, what did she actually say to you?
01:36She asked me what my intentions were.
01:38Oh no, are you kidding?
01:39No.
01:40Anyway, how about lunch?
01:41What does she think your intentions are?
01:42We've been hooking up for you.
01:43Oh no, are you kidding?
01:44No.
01:45Uh, anyway, how about lunch?
01:46What does she think your intentions are?
01:47We've been hooking up for you.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Yeah.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Yeah.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Yeah.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59I wasn't going to go into the details with her.
02:00Hey.
02:01Ah!
02:02Ouch!
02:03Oh jeez.
02:04Oh.
02:05It's you.
02:06Well who else would it be?
02:07Well, statistically her sister.
02:08You know what?
02:09Whatever.
02:10I'm done talking about it and I'm done with her.
02:11Okay.
02:12Alright.
02:13Okay.
02:14How about you and I just stay here, relax, forget about it.
02:18Yeah?
02:19Yeah.
02:20Okay.
02:21Okay.
02:22Okay.
02:23Come here.
02:24What am I making?
02:25No.
02:26Anyway, how about lunch?
02:27Come here.
02:28What am I meant to do?
02:29Send a telegram?
02:30All I did was ask Sunny a genuine question about where he's headed with my sister.
02:35And he couldn't even give me a straight answer.
02:37Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:38Just slow down and take a breath.
02:41Sorry.
02:42Is this because I mentioned that I thought the two of them weren't just a fling?
02:46Well, yeah.
02:47I figured now is the perfect time to ask where they see things going.
02:51That kind of takes the romance out of it a bit, doesn't it?
02:53Well, because romance never got anyone in trouble.
02:55Well, can't you just let her enjoy the moment?
02:58I mean, she's only young.
02:59Marilyn, you don't know what's going on with this guy and what he's been involved in.
03:02Well, actually, I do.
03:04And I think that Sunny...
03:05No, please, can we not do the commentary right now?
03:08Harper, love, take a seat.
03:10I'll bring you over a nice cuppa.
03:12Mm-hmm.
03:13Sure.
03:14Got a sharp, sharp feeling in my gut.
03:18Yeah, I agree, Evelyn.
03:20I mean, yeah, the session was great.
03:22Got some good stuff.
03:23Yeah, I'm stoked with it.
03:27Uh...
03:28Sure, yeah.
03:29I'm keen.
03:30But, look, I've got to get some rest first.
03:32Been in the studio with Kirby all day, so...
03:35Is that cool?
03:37All right.
03:38Well, I will see you tonight.
03:45Ah.
03:47Yeah, I'm coming.
03:54Hey, mate.
03:55How is everything?
03:56How?
03:57Had the latest recording go?
03:58Yeah, yeah.
03:59Kirby stuff was good.
04:00Great.
04:01Great.
04:03Mate, I was just about to get some sleep.
04:05I've got to head back to the studio tonight.
04:07Great.
04:08That's great.
04:09Sounds to me like Kirby's picked the perfect man to produce her record.
04:13And you look tired, so...
04:16I guess I'll leave you to it then.
04:20Do you want to hear the tracks?
04:21I'm dying to.
04:22I'm dying to.
04:23Like, with everything else that's been going on,
04:25I feel like I've missed out on so much.
04:27Yeah, is there doing better?
04:29Yeah.
04:30The house is definitely emptier with Ed.
04:32Which means you need something to keep you busy, right?
04:35Come on.
04:36I'll take some coffee.
04:42Hey.
04:43Hey!
04:44Uh, I made us some lunch.
04:45Great.
04:46Come on out.
04:54You okay?
04:55Yeah, yeah, this looks good.
04:56Hey.
04:58Talk to me.
04:59What's up?
05:01I'm sorry.
05:02I know that the phone call was technically good news.
05:04You're upset?
05:05I'm frustrated.
05:06You know, if there was a problem, I could find solutions.
05:08But being told that everything's fine...
05:10Is good.
05:11And yet, I'm still not pregnant.
05:13Mac, I know how much you want this.
05:15I want this to...
05:16Okay, if you're about to say that it's early days,
05:18I swear, I'm gonna find someone else I have a baby with.
05:20Notice.
05:22Okay.
05:24I do just want to say...
05:25Okay.
05:26That is the best possible news we could have received.
05:30We should celebrate that.
05:31Fine.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Oh, this is awesome.
05:35Track three is a winner.
05:36Yeah, man.
05:37That's pretty clean.
05:38We just gotta make sure the rest of them aren't from scratch.
05:40You know what?
05:41Maybe I should clear the slate at the garage and come with you to the studio.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Lend an ear.
05:46Sure, man.
05:47Great.
05:48What time are we gonna go?
05:49Oh, I'm not going back today.
05:50Thought you said you were going tonight.
05:51I am.
05:52I am.
05:53I am.
05:54But not for Kirby.
05:55Well, what does that mean?
05:56Do you know who Avalon Bracken is?
05:57The woman Kirby's been messaging me about.
05:59The one trying to steal her songs.
06:00No, she is not trying to steal her songs.
06:01No, she's not trying to steal her songs.
06:02She's not trying to steal her songs.
06:03I'm like, let's go try it out here.
06:04He's up here and he's got a job at a job at home.
06:05I'm planning to make sure the rest of them aren't going to scratch.
06:08Now, what is it?
06:09I'm going to get into my hands?
06:10I'm going to get into my head?
06:11Maybe I should clear the slate at the garage and come with you to the studio.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Lend an ear.
06:15Sure, man.
06:16Great.
06:17What time are we gonna go?
06:18The woman Kirby's been messaging me about?
06:21The one trying to steal her songs?
06:22No, she's not trying to steal her songs. Kirby got the wrong idea.
06:25Okay. What about her?
06:26Well, she's asked me to be a featured artist on her second album.
06:30Yes!
06:31That's huge, man. Congratulations.
06:34Thanks, man.
06:35And why don't you seem excited about it?
06:38I haven't told Kirby.
06:40Oh.
06:42What is that?
06:43This is a fertility clinic based in the city.
06:45They have these ovulation kits that you can buy.
06:48Oh.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Why are you looking them up?
06:52Well, I mean, don't you think that's useful right now to track my cycle?
06:56I mean, better than the blind leading the blind.
06:59Blind?
07:00Yes, I'm aware that you're a doctor, but you don't exactly know when I'm ovulating now, do you?
07:04Okay. Admittedly, I don't know when you're ovulating.
07:06Well, exactly, and that's what these kits are for.
07:07You know, they'll figure out the ideal times for us to try and conceive.
07:11That's so sexy.
07:12I don't really care if it's sexy, but it can't hurt, can it?
07:19Well, honestly, I just have some concerns about the reliability of those tests.
07:23Then, honestly, I think you should just try and think of it as a starting point, then.
07:27Okay.
07:28What?
07:31I'm not going to say early days. I just don't think we're at that point yet.
07:34Yeah, well, I am very much so.
07:36And I'd like to think that you cared about this as much as I do.
07:38Well, love is scared for your sister, we understand.
07:50But she's not in danger anymore.
07:52You're right. And I know that deep down.
07:55So, um, what's all this about?
07:59I don't know. Like a sleep, maybe. Baby brain.
08:03Hmm.
08:04Or maybe it's because you've been through the mill yourself recently.
08:08No, I'm fine.
08:10Well, in that case, love, I think you need to try talking to Dana again.
08:15Because it worked out so well in the past.
08:17Yes, but this time, you're going to arrange a place and a time to meet.
08:22You're not just going to show up willy-nilly.
08:25You're going to sit down.
08:26You're going to listen to her.
08:28And you're maybe going to even offer an apology.
08:36Hmm.
08:37You all right, mate?
08:39Yeah.
08:40These dumbbells are tiny, lent me a tiny, but after a few reps, oh.
08:44Or if you...
08:47You okay?
08:49Yes.
08:55Your sister again?
08:56No.
08:58Yes.
08:59It's just the whole time she was in that doomed relationship with Dana,
09:03I was by her side.
09:04But I was always supportive, even though I knew that it was a mistake.
09:08Right.
09:09And I just don't see why she can't do that for me now.
09:12Not that this is a mistake.
09:13Although this is a thing.
09:14It's cool.
09:15I get it.
09:16I think I should sneak home.
09:20Because I really, really need new clothes.
09:24But you're the best.
09:27See you in a bit.
09:28Okay.
09:30What?
09:33What?
09:34You guys are so cute.
09:35That's all.
09:36Hmm.
09:38Those dumbbells are really cute, too.
09:40Come on.
09:40More reps.
09:41Thanks.
09:43Hey.
09:46I'm sorry I was so hardline before.
09:49I appreciate you saying that.
09:51It's just this whole thing is just so terrifying.
09:53You know what?
09:53Even though it's been good news about my fertility, it's just left me with so many unanswered questions.
09:57Hey, I understand, really.
09:59You do?
10:00You spend your whole life in control, and then there's this thing.
10:04This thing I want more than anything in the whole wide world.
10:07And it's one big mystery.
10:09Exactly.
10:09The problem with these kits and these ovulation tests is that they can't guarantee accuracy.
10:15And I just don't think they're going to give you the control that you want.
10:21If anything, they're going to make you more stressed.
10:23And that's going to make it really hard to conceive.
10:25Oh, well, it makes an annoying amount of sense.
10:31Plus, there's a more fun way of doing this.
10:34Oh, is that right now?
10:36So I hear.
10:38You're right, we have rushed the fun part of this, haven't we?
10:41Maybe a bit.
10:42I do want you to know.
10:46I want this.
10:48Just as much as you.
10:51Good.
10:58Okay, so Avalon is a pretty big deal.
11:02Mate, her debut album's still on the chart.
11:05So that's amazing.
11:06But why are you keeping this a secret from Kevi?
11:09Because she's not Avalon's biggest fan.
11:11Yeah, but she's also your mate.
11:13She could be happy for you.
11:14Yeah, well, I'm sure she would be if it were anyone else.
11:18It's just, they've already had a blow-up in the studio.
11:21I'm guessing her collaboration's out of the question.
11:23Could you imagine?
11:24No.
11:25There's also the issue with timing.
11:27Avalon needs me right now.
11:28Yes, so does Kirby.
11:29You guys only have a few studio sessions left.
11:31Yeah, which is why I needed to focus on finishing the album,
11:34not getting worried about me working with another artist.
11:39How are you going to make this happen?
11:41I'm already doing it.
11:42I work with Kirby during the day, and Avalon...
11:43You can't keep burning the camera, but...
11:45Avalon just needs you to give it to yourself.
11:49Did Dana text you back?
11:50Did you know?
11:51No, I wouldn't worry too much.
11:53Hey, Irene.
11:53Hey!
11:54Hello again.
11:57Hello.
11:57Uh, two flat whites and a long buck.
11:59Coming up, love.
12:01Is one of those for Dana?
12:02Uh, yeah, it is.
12:05If you wanted to get into her good books, she loves blueberry muffins.
12:09Noted.
12:10Thanks.
12:11I'm sorry about earlier.
12:13I shouldn't have forked in on you like that.
12:15Or interrogated you, for that matter.
12:17That's cool.
12:18I get it.
12:19You get it?
12:20Yeah, you're, uh, you know, you're worried about your sister.
12:22Yeah, I am.
12:23You didn't answer my question, actually.
12:26What, about my intention?
12:27Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
12:28I'm not sure that I do.
12:29Now, just tell me that you're not going to hurt her and you're not going to string her
12:32along and make promises that you can't keep.
12:34I prefer to under-promise and over-deliver to her.
12:35Why can't you answer a simple question?
12:37Love, here's your muffin, all right?
12:39Coffees are on their way without the side of interrogation.
12:55Did you get my text?
12:57Yeah, I did.
12:58I thought about replying, stay out of my life, but I think I already said that.
13:02I just...
13:03I thought that maybe we could talk tonight to clear the air.
13:07If you're coming home tonight.
13:10No, actually, I'm going to stay at Sonny's.
13:13And before you ask what my intentions are, they're not pure.
13:17Funny.
13:18Thanks.
13:19At least you can give me a straight answer on the subject.
13:22What does that mean?
13:23Nothing, forget it.
13:25Did you harass him again?
13:26Well, you may have exchanged words briefly in the diner.
13:30You're an actual nutjob.
13:31Do you know that?
13:32No, I'm not.
13:33I'm the only one that's actually looking out for you.
13:35And frankly, it's a little bit weird that he can't give me a straight answer.
13:37You're the only person that's being weird about this situation.
13:40All right, no, we're not doing this.
13:42No, we're done.
13:42No, we are doing this.
13:44We have to do this.
13:44This is not your problem.
13:45Dana, we've got to talk about it.
13:47Well, I don't want to talk about it.
13:48Well, fine then.
13:49Rack off.
13:50This is me racking off.
13:51Rack is being a little intense about this.
14:01Why would she say?
14:03She asked me to not make promises that I can't keep or something.
14:09Well, I think she's just doing what big sisters do.
14:11They're protective.
14:12Okay, fair enough.
14:14But still, it's a little extreme.
14:15I mean, Dana and I, I've been dating and all of a sudden I've ended up with an overbearing sister-in-law.
14:20Just go easy on her.
14:22She's had a rough, rough couple of months with the whole Tane thing.
14:25Okay, what happened exactly there?
14:27Well, I don't know the full story, but I do know that they had to call their wedding off at the last minute.
14:32Like, literally the morning of.
14:33Ouch.
14:34Yeah.
14:35And Tane's around helping with the kid all the time, but still.
14:37It's a lot.
14:38Yeah.
14:39So, look, I'm really sorry that my sister has apparently decided to continue her crazy.
14:45I'll leave you guys to it.
14:47See you, man.
14:50So, I got you something.
14:57Is that blueberry?
14:59That's my favourite.
15:00I know.
15:01Harper told me.
15:02When did she tell you that?
15:03When she was saying that she hates that we're hanging out?
15:06Yeah.
15:07Yeah, I know.
15:08Didn't make much sense to me either.
15:10I'm sorry.
15:11I just wonder, is she being protective or is there something more to it?
15:17It doesn't matter.
15:18She's out of line.
15:25Nothing for you.
15:26No, they're making me a coffee.
15:28I'm going to head back into the studio, sir.
15:30One beer's not going to make me feel any better about lying to Kirby.
15:32Would you like to, then?
15:36Come on, mate.
15:37Can you do me the favour?
15:38I really want to do the right thing by Kirby, but I really want to do this, too.
15:42Look, it's a couple of days.
15:43Please.
15:44Okay.
15:45I won't say anything.
15:47But as soon as you finish this recording, you've got to tell it.
15:50100% that's the plan.
15:54Kirby wants to talk about chord progressions for tomorrow.
15:56Look, I was supposed to be back in the studio with our blonde.
16:00Is there any chance you can do this?
16:02Me, me with Kirby instead of you?
16:04Yeah, why not?
16:04Well, that's not the deal.
16:06And it's about the music.
16:07That's your department.
16:08That's not mine.
16:09Tell her to trust her instead.
16:10She's spot on every time.
16:12Fine.
16:13Yeah?
16:13Fine.
16:14I don't understand how you think you're going to keep spinning all these plates ones.
16:17Ah.
16:19When do you plan on sleeping?
16:21When I'm dead.
16:22Hello.
16:23Hi.
16:23Hi.
16:24Hi.
16:25Thank you for the lead.
16:26No, you're welcome.
16:27I, um, I know I have to go to work, but are you sure you want to be here this afternoon?
16:33Trust me, I'm all right.
16:35You know, I was thinking that maybe when you finish night shift, we could get back to the
16:39fun part of trying to have a baby, if you're up for it.
16:43Say no more.
16:45I'll see you in the morning.
16:56So, um, how long do you think we have until Theo gets back?
17:14Dana?
17:14I think you need to address the Harper situation.
17:24Do I?
17:26Look, dude, I don't want to talk about it because I'm embarrassed and she's been treating us
17:30like Joda.
17:31Okay, it hasn't been that bad.
17:33Okay, it's been, it's been pretty bad.
17:35Mm-hmm.
17:36But, I don't know, I mean, you know your sister.
17:39Maybe there's something else going on, something not even about us.
17:44What are you doing?
17:46I just, do you know how you were saying before that you were there for her during the whole
17:49Tane saga?
17:50Yes, I do, and it's lovely that someone remembers, but if she doesn't.
17:54Okay, well, maybe you still need to be.
17:56Well, I mean, even if that is the case, it's not my problem.
18:02Okay.
18:03Okay.
18:03Okay.
18:09I'm kicking you out.
18:15What?
18:16Yep, I am regretting it even as I do it, but you need to sort things out with your sister.
18:24Okay, so this is actually happening?
18:28It's really happening.
18:32You got this.
18:46What's up?
18:56You.
18:57Not much.
18:58Lacey's picked up a night shift at some bar in Refton Lakes.
19:01Hmm.
19:02What are you doing here?
19:03I thought you were meant to be hanging out with Dana.
19:04You know, I thought I'd give her some space to sort things out with Harper.
19:08Really?
19:09Yeah, it seemed like the right thing to do.
19:12I don't want to be the reason that she's fighting with her family.
19:14Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah.
19:15Yeah.
19:18What?
19:18I know nothing.
19:20You just, you obviously care about her a lot.
19:22Yeah?
19:23So what?
19:23I'm a monster.
19:24Now, I know you said you guys aren't in a relationship, but are you...
19:27Because we're not.
19:29Sure, but you spend the whole day comforting her, going to the diner to get a special little
19:33favourite treat, and now you are helping her with her family stuff.
19:38Sounds like she is your girlfriend, brother.
19:41Yeah.
19:45Hey, everything okay?
19:53Yes.
19:55She really does care about you, you know.
19:57Yes, I know.
19:58All right, well, give us a yell when you're ready to order, love.
20:12I was surprised to get your text.
20:15Does that mean you're ready to talk to me?
20:18Yes, it does.
20:19Take a seat.
20:22Mm.
20:23Good.
20:24Because I don't want to argue with you over some guy.
20:28No, neither do I.
20:29I can see that you really like him, but you need to be sure that he feels the same way,
20:36because otherwise you're just going to get hurt.
20:38I don't really think he's the problem here.
20:40How do you know that?
20:41How do you know you can even trust him?
20:44Sonny was right.
20:45Sonny was right about what?
20:47That this isn't about us, it's about you.
20:50What?
20:50Of course it's about you.
20:51I love you, and I am concerned for you.
20:54Yes, I know that you're concerned, but what I think you're really concerned about is that
20:58Sonny's going to hurt me the way that Tana hurt you.
21:09Tana thinks you should come on the honeymoon trip to Japan instead of him.
21:13That's not what you want, though, is it?
21:15I don't want to go to Japan with Dana.
21:17I want to go with you.
21:18Me?
21:19Really?
21:19Yeah.
21:20I just want to make sure we're on the same page first.
21:23This is just his friends, right?
21:24It's Archie's parents.
21:26Yeah, of course.
21:28No strings attached.
21:29When we're away together, you know, as a little family, maybe he'll feel differently.
21:35You know, I've got to at least try.
