00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02You can just date them both.
00:04Actually, I'm stepping away from escorting.
00:06This is my instructor, Lydia.
00:08If you insist on cutting ties, there will be repercussions.
00:11Just remember, you're protecting Amanda's legacy.
00:16Carl is not currently responsive.
00:18I found something in Carl's bag of opioids.
00:21He most likely suffered a stroke because of pre-existing health issues.
00:24Well, you think he did speak to Carl?
00:26I mean, if he's capable of planting drugs on Carl, he's capable of anything, isn't he?
00:30Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:58Need friends
01:00Good friends
01:02Hey!
01:03Hey!
01:04How's Carl?
01:05No new updates.
01:06Just here to see if Susan needs a hand with anything.
01:08Oh, she's not home. She left a little while ago.
01:10Yeah, yeah. She is probably spending every waking moment at the hospital.
01:12Mm-hmm.
01:16Mm-hmm.
01:17Yeah.
01:18Mm-hmm.
01:19Yeah.
01:20Oh, she's not home. She's not home. She's not home. She's not home. She left a little while ago.
01:21Yeah, yeah. She is probably spending every waking moment at the hospital.
01:22hey hey how's Carl ah no new updates just here to see if Susan needs a hand
01:29with anything oh she's not home she left a little while ago yeah yeah she is
01:33probably spending every waking moment at the hospital
01:38looks like you could do with some support yourself it's just Amanda's will all the tension I hate it
01:56well believe me I know firsthand how doing the right thing can be hard sometimes that's what
02:05you're doing the right thing
02:17is it too early for beers uh unfortunately I'd say yes I mean even for us all right off he is
02:26my friends
02:31hey that our client of yours came into work again Lydia yeah she's pretty intense yeah tell me about
02:40it I mean she became really dependent on me whilst I was with her that's why I had to
02:45cut her off but she went out of her way to track you down even after you ghosted her
02:50true but I mean she hasn't bothered me since maybe she's found somebody else to obsess over
03:00thanks for meeting me you said you're a friend of Darcy's more of an acquaintance I'd say
03:06what's this about I need some information on your ex-husband look I'm not sure what's going on or why
03:12you asked me here but I'm not sharing anything with a stranger Carl Kennedy's in hospital with a
03:18suspected stroke that's it's terrible oh poor Susan you know the Kennedys yeah I'd consider them close
03:29friends yeah and Darcy didn't tell you that Carl was in hospital I mean do you not find that a bit
03:35strange well he said he was going to call but he never did huh now know why okay well I need you
03:44to go over everything you discussed with Carl so that we can get to the truth because from where I'm
03:49sitting Darcy has got some explaining to do
03:55is Nicole let her out uh I haven't seen her why because I don't want her to hear me complain about the
04:01advice she gave to Aaron oh I know but it was totally the wrong call it runs a relationship
04:07exactly well not the type to have at all not there's anything wrong with her exactly it's just
04:12not his wife no he needs to front up and pick one man exactly just because the advice is right for
04:18Nicolette doesn't mean it's good for him exactly and he needs to hear that and now is your chance to
04:22tell him hi hi hey I'm glad you guys are both here because I have not stopped thinking about what
04:30Nicolette saw yesterday well actually uh we wanted to say something about that yeah I mean it's just
04:35really opened my mind in what way exactly well Nick's right I like both guys so I think it's a simple
04:43equation Colton plus Rhett equals this muscular robust sponge with a fluffy sweet center ladies I am
04:53gonna have my cake and eat it hey just my usual thanks
05:06I know you're still with me
05:10I'd feel it if you were gone
05:14Carl I need you to fight I need you to come back to me
05:23uh uh
05:32darling
05:37it's okay it's okay I'll get some help
05:42Remy
05:45Remy
05:46Carl moved his eyes
05:47you sure
05:47yes and he made a sound he's coming back
05:50Carl Carl
05:53hi okay don't strain yourself just take it easy
06:00this is a good sign
06:06Darcy's been floating the idea of moving away last night he asked me to go with him
06:11why would you think you'd even consider that
06:13it's still part of me that cares for him and and he also knows that Carl's been in my ear
06:21and what about his new clinic with Anthony Hallsworth
06:24I still can't get my head around that I mean they hated each other
06:28I asked Darcy and he said they buried the hatchet
06:31so I just don't get away why on earth would you go into business with somebody that you've previously failed with
06:38I mean did you know that Anthony lost his medical license last year
06:45it's I know it's just
06:47it's not adding up at all
06:49but you know him better than anyone so what are these warning signs telling you
06:53well when the story stops making sense you know he's lying
06:56usually means one thing
06:58he's running from something
06:59and do you think he's capable of hurting anyone
07:05emotionally
07:07yeah
07:07physically he's not the type
07:11I think then Scully might disagree with you
07:13oh that was an accident
07:14he never pushed her deliberately
07:17all the same you know the timing of Carl's stroke it's just it's so suspicious
07:24Darcy may be capable of many things but the man I married would never intentionally put
07:28someone in hospital
07:29yeah well that's if he is the same man you married
07:34see you told Carl that you were late meeting Darcy the afternoon of Amanda Harris's accident
07:39correct
07:40it looked like Darcy had been waiting there for ages
07:43but uh the more I think about it the less sure I am
07:47okay
08:01ah
08:03starting off your cool down with a shoulder stretch that's an interesting choice
08:12yeah I like to finish with the quads
08:15suit yourself some free professional advice right there
08:18professional
08:19yeah I used to be a personal trainer
08:22even own my own gym
08:24impressive
08:27yeah let me pop you
08:32you know for someone with so much yoga experience I thought you would be so much better on your feet
08:36maybe I'm just testing to see what you're like as a tramp
08:41and how did I go
08:42we passed
08:44the uh
08:47hands-on approach was a nice touch
08:52hey uh I was thinking
08:54if you and red aren't too serious
08:57maybe we should go on a proper date
08:59I'm free tonight
09:06read my mind
09:17morning
09:19huh I saw you chatting with Tess earlier
09:21yeah yeah I didn't know you two knew each other
09:24I didn't before today
09:25huh how'd that come about
09:27oh it's simple really
09:29I mean we just bumped into each other and started chatting
09:32she's very concerned about carl though
09:34you know she had no idea that car was in hospital
09:36yeah well I didn't want to worry her
09:38until we knew more
09:40anyway she was very relieved when I gave her the good news
09:44oh you haven't heard oh susan texted
09:46yeah carl's showing signs of improvement
09:48really
09:49that's wonderful isn't it
09:57hey mum I got your message what you need
10:02Sadie wanted to chat and I think we should hear what she has to say
10:07unless she's planning on handing over the control of Nana's estate I'm really not interested
10:11please please just sit down
10:22I've thought about it and it doesn't sit right with me that Jane wouldn't inherit anything
10:26especially since Amanda came to Aaron's bar to reconnect
10:31right so what are you proposing
10:33I think I have a compromise that works best for everyone
10:39we're listening
10:41I've thought about it and I agree
10:44Byron should become a joint administrator of the trust
10:48I'm also happy for the family to use the bulk of Amanda's money
10:51you can do whatever you want with it
10:53but there still needs to be something that goes to the scholarship
10:56and who would run this scholarship
10:59me
11:00I need it to be exactly how Amanda would have wanted
11:06right well that that sounds very reasonable
11:08we should consider Sadie's proposal
11:11maybe give us a bit of time to think it over
11:14yes of course just let me know
11:21is this normal it's not the norm but it's not uncommon either
11:33friendly me
11:37oh sorry I didn't know you had a visitor I'll head out
11:41no need we're hardly strangers
11:46everything okay
11:47crazy
11:48Lydia's just told me that the academy are bringing forward my law exam
11:52and that's bad because
11:55because I haven't studied for it
11:56I was focusing on all these other assessments because I thought I had more time
12:00okay I'm gonna fail
12:02is there really nothing you can do
12:04I'm afraid not
12:05unless the circumstances change
12:17do you have any suggestions
12:19yeah the eggs benny is amazing
12:22oh no actually kit's in the kitchen today and she overcooks the yolks every time
12:26oh well I actually know the manager here so
12:28oh really have a chat
12:29yeah yeah I know him too and I know that he's useless
12:31oh well I suppose he doesn't deserve surprises then
12:35oh no I think he does love surprises
12:37I was talking about himself in third person
12:39hey you started it
12:40tickets to dear Evan Hansen
12:44yeah it's supposed to be amazing
12:46wow thank you
12:49there for tonight
12:50yeah is that okay
12:52um
12:54sorry I've got plans
12:57I'm sorry I um I should have checked I just wanted to surprise you
13:01no it's fine it's fine can we call them and change it for another night
13:04you know what yes I'm going to call them now and I'm going to figure it out I'll be back
13:23there's been no more movement
13:34oh that's okay
13:35it'll take some time
13:37I've got every reason to be positive
13:40how was Holly when you told her
13:41oh I'm relieved
13:43she's going to come here after the morning rush
13:46she's determined to keep the tram open for Carl
13:48ah I uh I have the results of the second scan we did
13:56there are still no clinical signs of a stroke
14:00how can that be
14:02if it was a stroke it's possible it could have been milder than the symptoms first suggested
14:08which could also explain why we're seeing improvements already
14:12what about the painkillers that Darcy found do they explain anything
14:16no there's no trace of opioids in Carl's system
14:20right you don't seem surprised
14:23I knew he was telling the truth when he said he stopped taking them
14:27then what were they doing in his bag
14:45so um
14:52mum helped me realize I might have been a bit too hasty shutting down your proposal
14:57I get it
14:59I know I'm not your favorite person at the moment
15:03but we appreciate it we're willing to accept the compromise
15:07mum just wants us all to to move forward
15:10and you
15:15is that what you want
15:24is that what you want to do
15:33hey
15:33hi
15:35you all right
15:36yeah
15:37yeah
15:39yeah
15:41no it's intense
15:42I've changed my mind
15:47I've decided I'm going to look after Amanda's estate with the family
15:53what
15:53I have to trust that they're going to honor Amanda's wishes
15:57you stupid girl
16:05I thought you had what it takes but I was wrong
16:11where is your backbone
16:15sacrifices have to be made if you want to achieve something
16:17do you do you understand do you
16:22I thought Amanda was your friend
16:24she was
16:25yeah
16:26yeah
16:29well she trusted you
16:32and you let her down
16:38you let me down
16:47so no stroke symptoms
16:55and no opioids in your system
16:57I know what you're thinking
16:58that's because we're both thinking the same thing
17:01see
17:02Darcy wanted us to believe that Carl had a stroke due to the painkillers
17:08Susan
17:10Carl kept you in the dark over his suspicions of Darcy because he was trying to protect you
17:14yeah but that just meant that I wasn't there to protect him
17:17all right let's just concentrate on finding out what happened first all right
17:21the time's running out because I've heard that Darcy is making noises about leaving
17:25anyway look I spoke to Remy yesterday and apparently there are some drugs which do mimic stroke symptoms
17:32so I did some research and I honestly think it's worthwhile getting the hospital to test Carl for these
17:37He's had plenty of tests nothing showed up
17:41yeah that's because in some instances they really need to know what they're looking for first
17:51I'm glad we could swap those tickets
17:53yeah
17:53let me know what night works best
17:55yeah and I'm so sorry again about the hassle
17:57it's not a hassle if it means I get to spend more time with you
18:00thanks for brunch
18:04I'll see you soon
18:04yeah bye
18:10now you've had a busy morning
18:14yes I went for a run with Colton and brunch with Rhett
18:19Nicolette told me about the advice that she gave you is this
18:22you putting that into practice
18:24yeah I mean I had a really great time with both of them but for different reasons
18:28well do you tell
18:30well Colton and I share a love for fitness you should see him in Speedos
18:36yeah well I'll take your word for it
18:38and Rhett I mean he just is always pushing me to try new things I mean he's more interested in things
18:43like food wine and culture it kind of feels familiar you know
18:48yeah like what you had with David
18:51I woke up this morning feeling so sure that dating both men was the right thing to do
19:00but am I just stringing them along
19:02and I know what you're going to say don't listen to Nicolette
19:06no
19:08nobody's made any promises to each other
19:11well you just have to have some fun
19:14because I know you you've had a few
19:16a few wobbles trying to move on from David
19:20but perhaps keeping things open and casual like this takes the pressure off
19:29yeah that's true thank you
19:31I get it
19:40hey hey I wasn't expecting to see you until tonight
19:44I saw these at the shop and I knew you had to have them

21:59a little struck
22:26Coming up on Neighbours.
22:40I don't understand.
22:41I thought that he was improving.
22:42Something doesn't feel right.
22:44Hal had concerns that Darcy was after Amanda's money.
22:47What are you saying?
22:48Why don't you take a rest?
22:50Let me do that.
22:56Let me do that.
