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!
01:06Hey!
01:08How's Carl?
01:10Ah, no new updates.
01:12Just here to see if Susan needs a hand with anything.
01:16Oh, she's not home. She left a little while ago.
01:18Yeah, yeah, she's probably spending every waking moment at the hospital.
01:22Looks like you could do with some support yourself.
01:26It's just Amanda's will.
01:28And all the tension, I hate it.
01:30Well, believe me.
01:32I know first hand how doing the right thing is
01:34It's just Amanda's will and all the tension, I hate it.
01:36Well, believe me, I know first hand how doing the right thing can be hard sometimes.
01:42And that's what you're doing. The right thing.
01:44And that's what you're doing. The right thing.
01:46I know first hand how doing the right thing can be hard sometimes.
01:52And that's what you're doing. The right thing.
01:56Is it too early for beers?
01:58Uh, unfortunately I'd say yes. I mean, even for us.
02:02Alright, coffee, it is good.
02:04I know.
02:06I know.
02:08I know first hand how doing the right thing can be hard sometimes.
02:10And that's what you're doing. The right thing.
02:18Is it too early for beers?
02:20Uh, unfortunately I'd say yes. I mean, even for us.
02:24Alright, coffee it is.
02:32Hey, that old client of yours came into work again.
02:34Lydia?
02:36Yeah.
02:38She's pretty intense.
02:40Yeah, tell me about it.
02:42I mean, she became really dependent on me whilst I was with her.
02:44That's why I had to, uh, cut her off.
02:46But she went out of her way to track you down even after you ghosted her.
02:52True.
02:53But, uh, I mean, she hasn't bothered me since.
02:55Maybe she's found somebody else to obsess over.
02:59Thanks for meeting me.
03:01You said you were a friend of Darcy's?
03:03More of an acquaintance I'd say.
03:05What's this about?
03:07I need some information on your ex-husband.
03:09Look, I'm not sure what's going on or why you asked me here, but I'm not sharing anything with a stranger.
03:17Carl Kennedy's in hospital with a suspected stroke.
03:19That's...
03:21That's terrible.
03:23Oh, poor Susan.
03:25You know the Kennedys?
03:27Yeah, I'd consider them close friends, yeah.
03:29And Darcy didn't tell you that Carl was in hospital.
03:33I mean, do you not find that a bit strange?
03:35Well, he said he was going to call, but he never did.
03:37Huh.
03:38Now I know why.
03:39Okay.
03:40Well, I need you to go over everything you discussed with Carl so that we can get to the truth.
03:45Because from where I'm sitting, Darcy has got some explaining to do.
03:51Is Nicoletta out?
03:56Uh, I haven't seen her.
03:59Why?
04:00Because I don't want her to hear me complain about the advice she gave to Aaron.
04:03Oh, I know, but it was totally the wrong call.
04:06Friends are relationship.
04:07Exactly.
04:08Well, not the type to have at all.
04:10No, there's anything wrong with her.
04:11Exactly.
04:12It's just not his wife.
04:14No, he needs to front up and pick one man.
04:16Exactly.
04:17Just because the advice is right for Nicoletta doesn't mean it's good for him.
04:19Exactly.
04:20And he needs to hear that.
04:22And now is your chance to tell him.
04:24Hi.
04:25Hi.
04:26Hey, I'm glad you guys are both here because I have not stopped thinking about what Nicoletta
04:31said yesterday.
04:32Well, actually, we wanted to say something about that.
04:34Yeah, I mean, it's just really opened my mind.
04:37In what way exactly?
04:39Well, Nick's right.
04:41I like both guys, so I think it's a simple equation.
04:44Colton plus Rhett equals...
04:47This muscular, robust sponge with a fluffy sweet centre.
04:52Ladies, I am going to have my cake and eat it.
04:55Hey, just my usual thanks.
04:58I know you're still with me.
05:10I'd feel it if you were gone.
05:15Carl, I need you to fight.
05:17I need you to come back to me.
05:24Uh...
05:25Uh...
05:32Darling?
05:33It's okay.
05:34It's okay.
05:35It's okay.
05:36I'll get some help.
05:39Remy.
05:40Remy!
05:41Carl moved his eyes.
05:42You sure?
05:43Yes, and he made a sound.
05:44He's coming back.
05:45Carl?
05:46Carl?
05:47Hi.
05:48Okay, don't strain yourself.
05:49Just take it easy.
05:50Uh...
05:51This is a good sign.
05:52Darcy's been floating the idea of moving away.
05:54Last night, he asked me to go with him.
05:56Why would you think you'd even consider that?
05:57There's still a part of me that cares for him, and he also knows that Carl's been in my ear.
06:20And what about his new clinic with Anthony Hallsworth?
06:24I still can't get my head around that.
06:26I mean, they hated each other.
06:28I asked Darcy, and he said they buried the hatchet.
06:31See, I just don't get it.
06:33Why on earth would you go into business with somebody that you'd previously failed with?
06:37I mean, did you know that Anthony lost his medical licence last year?
06:45It's...I know, it's just...it's not adding up at all.
06:49But you know him better than anyone, so what are these warning signs telling you?
06:52Well, when the story stops making sense, you know he's lying.
06:55It usually means one thing.
06:58He's running from something.
07:00And do you think he's capable of hurting anyone?
07:05Emotionally?
07:06Yeah.
07:07Physically, he's not the type.
07:10Then Scully might disagree with you.
07:13Oh, that was an accident.
07:14He never pushed her deliberately.
07:16All 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 someone 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' accident.
07:39Correct.
07:40It looked like Darcy had been waiting there for ages.
07:42But, uh, the more I think about it, the less sure I am.
07:47Okay.
07:48Woo!
07:49Ah!
07:50Starting off your cool down with a shoulder stretch, that's an interesting choice.
07:54Yeah.
07:55I like to finish with the quads.
07:56Suit yourself.
07:57Some free professional advice right there.
07:58Professional?
07:59Yeah, I used to be a personal trainer.
08:00Even though I'm in my own gym.
08:01Yeah.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Yeah.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Yeah.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Yeah.
08:10Yeah.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:13Yeah.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Yeah.
08:18Yeah.
08:19Yeah.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Wow.
08:24I'm in my own gym.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Impressive.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:29I'm trying to get you.
08:32You know for someone with so much yoga experience I thought you'd be so much better on your feet.
08:37Uh... maybe I'm just testing to see what you're like as a trainer.
08:41And how did I go?
08:42We passed.
08:43The, uh, hands on approach was a nice touch!
08:49Hey, I was thinking if you and Red aren't too serious, maybe we should go on a proper
08:58date.
08:59I'm free tonight.
09:02Red my mind.
09:07Morning.
09:17Oh, I saw you chatting with Tess earlier.
09:21Yeah.
09:22I didn't know you two knew each other.
09:24I didn't before today.
09:25How'd that come about?
09:27Oh, it was simple really.
09:28We just bumped into each other and started chatting.
09:31She was very concerned about Carl though.
09:33You know, she had no idea that Carl was in hospital.
09:36Yeah, well, I didn't want to worry her.
09:38That's how we knew more.
09:39Oh.
09:40Anyway, she was very relieved when I gave her the good news.
09:43Oh, you haven't heard?
09:44Oh, Susan texted.
09:45Yeah, Carl's showing signs of improvement.
09:47Really?
09:48Oh, that's wonderful, isn't it?
09:50Hey, Mum.
09:51I got your message.
09:52What do you need?
09:54Sadie wanted to chat and I think we should hear what she has to say.
09:58Unless she's planning on handing over the control of Nana's estate, I'm really not interested.
10:11Please, please just sit down.
10:12I'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.
10:29Right, so what are you proposing?
10:32I think I have a compromise that works best for everyone.
10:36Are we listening?
10:39I've thought about it and I agree.
10:42Byron should become a joint administrator of the trust.
10:46I'm also happy for the family to use the bulk of Amanda's money.
10:50You can do whatever you want with it.
10:52But there still needs to be something that goes to the scholarship.
10:55And who would run this scholarship?
10:58Me.
10:59I need it to be exactly how Amanda would have wanted.
11:05Right, well that sounds very reasonable.
11:07We should consider Sadie's proposal.
11:09Maybe give us a bit of time to think it over.
11:12Yes, of course.
11:13Just let me know.
11:28Is this normal?
11:29It's not the norm, but it's not uncommon either.
11:32Only me.
11:36Oh, sorry.
11:38I didn't know you had a visitor.
11:40I'll head out.
11:41All right.
11:42I'm hardly strangers.
11:45Everything okay, Sadie?
11:47Lydia's just told me that the Academy are bringing forward my law exam.
11:51And that's bad because?
11:54Because I haven't studied for it.
11:56I was focusing on all these other assessments because I thought I had more time.
11:59Okay?
12:00I'm going to fail.
12:01Is there really nothing you can do?
12:03I'm afraid not, lest the circumstances change.
12:11Do you have any suggestions?
12:12Yeah.
12:13The Eggs Benny is amazing.
12:14Oh no, actually Kit's in the kitchen today and she overcooks the yolks every time.
12:26Well, I actually know the manager here.
12:27Oh really?
12:28So if you want to have a chat.
12:29Yeah, yeah.
12:30I know him too and I know that he's useless.
12:31Oh.
12:32Well, I suppose he doesn't deserve surprises then.
12:34Oh no, I think he does love surprises.
12:36I was talking about himself in third person.
12:38Hey, you started it.
12:40Tickets to Dear Evan Hansen?
12:43Yeah.
12:44Supposed to be amazing.
12:45Wow.
12:47Is there for tonight?
12:49Yeah, is that okay?
12:51Um, sorry, I've got plans.
12:56I'm sorry.
12:57I should have checked.
12:59I just wanted to surprise you.
13:01No, it's fine.
13:02Kit, can we call them and change it for another night?
13:04You know what?
13:05I'll call them now and I'm gonna figure it out.
13:07I'll be back.
13:31There's been no more movement.
13:33No, that's okay.
13:34It'll take some time.
13:36I've got every reason to be positive.
13:39How was Holly when you told her?
13:41I'm relieved.
13:42She's gonna come here after the morning rush.
13:45She's determined to keep the tram open for Carl.
13:48I, uh, I have the results of the second scan we did.
13:55There are still no clinical signs of a stroke.
14:00How can that be?
14:01If it was a stroke.
14:02If it was a stroke, it's possible it could have been milder than the symptoms first suggested.
14:07Which could also explain why we're seeing improvements already.
14:10What about the painkillers that Darcy found?
14:13Do they explain anything?
14:15No.
14:16There's no trace of opioids in Carl's system.
14:19Right.
14:20You don't seem surprised.
14:22I knew he was telling the truth when he said he'd stop taking them.
14:26Then what were they doing in his bag?
14:28So, um, Mum helped me realise I might have been a bit too hasty shutting down your proposal.
14:56I get it.
14:58I know I'm not your favourite person at the moment.
15:02But we appreciate it and we're willing to accept the compromise.
15:05Mum just wants us all to, to move forward.
15:12And you?
15:14Is that what you want?
15:28Yeah.
15:29Yeah.
15:30Yeah.
15:31Yeah.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Yeah.
15:34Yeah.
15:35That was intense.
15:37I've changed my mind.
15:38I've decided I'm going to look after Amanda's estate with the family.
15:50What?
15:51I have to trust that they're going to honour Amanda's wishes.
15:57You stupid girl.
15:58I thought you had what it takes.
16:07But I was wrong.
16:10Where is your backbone?
16:12Sacrifices have to be made if you want to achieve something.
16:17Do you understand?
16:18Do you?
16:19I thought Amanda was your friend.
16:20She was.
16:21Yeah.
16:22Yeah.
16:23Yeah.
16:24Yeah.
16:25Well, she trusted you.
16:26And you let her down.
16:30You let me down.
16:37So, no stroke symptoms and no opioids in your system.
16:56I know what you're thinking.
16:57That's because we're both thinking the same thing.
16:59Look, see, Darcy wanted us to believe that Carl had a stroke due to the painkillers.
17:07Susan, Carl kept you in the dark over his suspicions of Darcy because he was trying to protect
17:14you.
17:15Yeah, but that just meant that I wasn't there to protect him.
17:16All right.
17:17Well, let's just concentrate on finding out what happened first, all right?
17:20Time's running out because I've heard that Darcy is making noises about leaving.
17:24Anyway, look, I spoke to Remy yesterday and apparently there are some drugs which
17:29do mimic stroke symptoms.
17:30So I did some research and I honestly think it's worthwhile getting the hospital to test
17:36Carl for these.
17:37He's had plenty of tests.
17:39Nothing showed up.
17:40Yeah, but that's because in some instances they really need to know what they're looking
17:47for first.
17:48Well, I'm glad we could swap those tickets.
17:52Yeah.
17:53Let me know what night works best.
17:54Yeah, and I'm so sorry again about the hassle.
17:56It's not a hassle if it means I get to spend more time with you.
17:59Thanks for brunch.
18:00I'll see you soon.
18:01Yeah.
18:02Bye.
18:03You've had a busy morning.
18:04Yes, I went for a run with Colton and brunch with Rhett.
18:18Nicolette told me about the advice that she gave you.
18:21Is this you putting that into practice?
18:23Yeah.
18:24I mean, I had a really great time with both of them.
18:26But for different reasons.
18:27Well, do you tell?
18:30Well, Colton and I share a love for fitness.
18:33You should see him in Speedos.
18:35Well, I'll take your word for it.
18:37And Rhett, I mean, he just is always pushing me to try new things.
18:41I mean, he's more interested in things like food, wine and culture.
18:45It kind of feels familiar, you know?
18:48Yeah.
18:49Like what you had with David.
18:51Hmm.
18:52Hmm.
18:53I woke up this morning feeling so sure that dating both men was the right thing to do,
18:59but am I just stringing them along?
19:01And I know what you're going to say, don't listen to Nicolette.
19:04No.
19:05Nobody's made any promises to each other.
19:10Well, you just have to have some fun.
19:13Because I know, you've had a few wobbles trying to move on from David.
19:19But perhaps keeping things open and casual like this takes the pressure off.
19:28Yeah.
19:29That's true.
19:31I get it.
19:39Hey.
19:40Hey.
19:41Hey.
19:42Hey.
19:43Hey.
19:44Hey.
19:45Hey, hey.
19:46Hey.
19:47They're for me, yeah.
19:49You like surprises, right?
19:51I love surprises, thank you.
20:01Hey, great news, the specialist is on their way.
20:05They'll be here any minute.
20:06Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
20:08Just conserve your energy, okay?
20:12Look, I know you're scared,
20:14but remember where you are, this is your old stomping ground.
20:17You're getting the best care here.
20:19I promise, promise we will look after you.
20:26I'll be back.
20:37Dad.
20:44You've got a deal.
20:45I'm so pleased you came to your senses.
20:49See you tomorrow?
20:51Yeah, sure.
20:55You're gonna love me.
20:58Are we talking about the more exam?
21:00Bingo.
21:01I got it moved back to its original date.
21:03Seriously?
21:05I don't get it, what changed?
21:07It's not what you know, it's who you know.
21:09Oh, well, I can't thank you enough.
21:11You saved my bacon.
21:17On the shots already?
21:18Yeah.
21:19It's that kind of day.
21:21Thanks.
21:36Help.
21:41I need help.
21:43I'm gonna have to give you something a little stronger.
21:57I'm gonna have to give you something a little stronger.
22:01I'll see you tomorrow.
22:14I'm gonna have all.
22:20stop
22:20Coming up on Neighbours.
22:40I don't understand.
22:41I thought that he was improving.
22:42Something doesn't feel right.
22:44Carl had concerns that Darcy was after Amanda's money.
22:47What are you saying?
22:48Why didn't you take a rest?
22:50Let me do that.
