00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Am I just stringing them along?
00:03Well, you just have to have some fun.
00:05I just found out my birth mother is dead and my birth father's an awful person.
00:10Carl had concerns that Darcy was after Amanda's money.
00:13Apparently the shares, they were transferred very recently.
00:16To who?
00:17Darcy Tyler.
00:18And he manipulated me every step of the way.
00:20She was so amazing, beating Darcy at his own game.
00:23Did you kill Amanda?
00:25Can you tell me what you did to her?
00:30Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours.
00:38With a little understanding, you can find the perfect plan.
00:48Neighbours should be there for one another.
00:56That's when good neighbours need good friends.
01:04I'm so sorry, honey.
01:06Darcy's not here. He's already in remand.
01:08I just wanted the upper hand.
01:10Hey, you already had it, Sadie.
01:14He's gonna go away for a very long time.
01:16Yeah, well, no thanks to me.
01:20You're just so gullible.
01:22Hey, no, no, no, no.
01:24That's not true. That's not true.
01:26Hey, you're kind and caring.
01:28You wear your heart on your sleeve.
01:30But you're always looking for the best in people.
01:34I see manipulative creeps like Darcy all the time.
01:46They seek out the most special, beautiful people.
01:50Case in point, Holly's been exactly where you are.
01:56You don't think that is a bad reflection on her, do you?
02:00Not to brag, but I've been taken for a ride so many times.
02:02I might just be the most beautiful girl in the world.
02:10Forget you ever met the guy.
02:12Okay?
02:14He's gonna get what he deserves.
02:16And you will too.
02:18Okay, I'm fine.
02:20I'm officially easing up on myself.
02:23Good.
02:25Just go home and get some rest, okay?
02:27Well, your shift's done.
02:28Why don't you come with?
02:30Um, I'm gonna hang around here for a little bit.
02:33On some paperwork today.
02:48Considering everything that's happened, we could have rescheduled.
02:52Ah, it's fine.
02:53There wasn't much more I could have done at home.
02:55Plus, it's been a nice distraction.
02:58Your family must be devastating.
03:00Yeah.
03:01They're just in this weird position where they don't really know anything
03:04because Darcy's not talking.
03:09The first day at Irene Rising's gonna be intense.
03:11Right?
03:12That's tomorrow.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Wow.
03:15What great timing considering a staff member likely killed a resident.
03:17And tried to kill another staff.
03:20Or two.
03:21Hmm.
03:22I'm just glad Carl's pulled through.
03:27If you ever need an ear,
03:30a shoulder,
03:32or a break,
03:33you know where I am.
03:43I gotta go.
03:44Yeah.
03:47You know, I never thought that I would be a teacher's pet.
03:52But now that I've got a taste for it,
03:54if Lydia said bark, I'd ask her what breed.
03:56Seriously though.
03:58Yeah, for her to go out of her way and move that law exam,
04:02what did I do to deserve that?
04:04Anyway, where did love boy number two get off to?
04:10Bed.
04:11He's got work tomorrow.
04:13Oh, well in that case, what are we rating the date?
04:17On a scale of one to rep.
04:20Look, it's been a nice circuit breaker from all the Darcy drama.
04:24But hey, hanging with him makes me happy.
04:26Aw.
04:28To happy hangs.
04:30Wait, why are you choosing your team love boy number one?
04:33Yeah.
04:35I just want good things for my friends.
04:37I gotta say though, poor form winding up a date this early.
04:41Rhett would never leave you to get his beauty sleep.
04:43Previously.
04:46The same.
04:49You know, I'm actually really glad Darcy was not there.
04:52He's not worth wasting my breath on.
04:54Hey man, he can stay in the bin.
04:57Yup.
04:58Dad's dad game's really strong, huh?
05:01You're just saying that because he called you a beautiful person.
05:04Yeah, well he's a cop, he has to speak the truth.
05:07Seriously though, he always knows what to say.
05:09He's a good man.
05:10Yeah.
05:12Yeah, we're pretty lucky when it comes to Dad's thing.
05:14Yeah.
05:15I'm just glad that yours is going to be okay.
05:17Same.
05:19You know I'm always here for you.
05:21Especially when Carl's in recovery.
05:23Thanks.
05:25What are you and Dad fighting about?
05:27That's really not a priority at the moment, sweetheart.
05:30So how are things at the station?
05:32Well I'll tell you after you tell me what you and Dad are fighting about.
05:37It's so obvious, so just spill.
05:39It's really not a big deal.
05:44I contacted his biological family.
05:56Hey.
05:57Hey.
05:58You hungry?
05:59I just heated up some scaredy.
06:00Mum barely touched it.
06:01No, I'm fine.
06:02I've eaten.
06:03Thanks.
06:05How are you doing?
06:06I managed to get Mum into bed.
06:07I think she's sleeping now, but she's not in a good way.
06:11Hmm.
06:12You think she might be in shock?
06:14Yeah.
06:15It's a big shock for you too, mate.
06:17Yeah, but I can deal.
06:18I just want to focus on Mum and Nick.
06:19Um, Sadie.
06:20I know that we're not together anymore, but...
06:21Yeah, I know.
06:22You can't just flick a switch and stop caring, can you?
06:31I just hope she's okay.
06:34Hey, you okay, mate?
06:35I think I want to fix things with Sadie.
06:36The fix as in?
06:37To get back together.
06:38I mean, the reason we broke up is because the Will stuff blew up.
06:39And that's because Darcy was in her, trying to cover up the fact that he was stealing down
06:55his sheds.
06:56And so, now that we know that, I mean...
06:57Boom!
06:58You can go back to being normal.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Um, man, I'd love that for you, but it wasn't really about the Will stuff, was it?
07:06I mean, Sadie had other issues too, right?
07:08I mean, none of them were deal breakers.
07:10Right.
07:11So you can work through them together, as a couple.
07:14As a couple.
07:15Exactly.
07:16That's what I'm hoping for.
07:18Then I'm hoping for that too.
07:20We've been transparent about Darcy's arrest, but there are so many questions.
07:33And the residents are really unsettled.
07:35But who can blame them?
07:36Yeah.
07:37It's a lot for them to take in.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Well, it's a lot for you to take on.
07:41Nothing I can't handle.
07:42Well, I appreciate your can-do attitude.
07:45About time you shaved your face.
07:48Uh, Vera.
07:49I'm not feeling good about living in this joint right now.
07:54And I'm not the only one.
07:56You're looking at a mass exodus.
07:59And I'll tell you this much for free.
08:02If Gina goes, so do I.
08:04What?
08:05People are talking about leaving?
08:06Well, what do you expect?
08:07We've got one doc hanging on for dear life after your other doc tried to off him.
08:12Oh, well, Carl's actually doing really well.
08:14And if Dr Dastardly really did kill Amanda Hattie?
08:17You're responsible for bringing danger to our door.
08:22Again.
08:23Vera, this is Colton Keyes, our new assistant manager.
08:27Oh, nice try.
08:28But you won't distract me with some shiny object.
08:32He's probably going to steal all our toilet duck like the last hunk of the month.
08:38Welcome aboard the sinking ship.
08:46Uh, you just missed out on breakfast.
08:48Got some leftover pancake mix.
08:50Can make you some?
08:51No.
08:52You were home late last night.
08:55Yeah.
08:56Had a lot to get through.
08:57Andrew, wait.
08:59We both know that you stayed back at work because you're avoiding me.
09:03I know that you want to talk.
09:05But I've just got so much going through my head right now.
09:07I need time to sit with it.
09:09I was meant to go to a birthday party for a friend in Murrayville.
09:13I pulled out.
09:14But maybe I should reconsider.
09:18Sure.
09:19If you want.
09:25You know, after everything that's happened with Carl, you really do deserve a break.
09:29Well, the same could be said about you.
09:31And I'm sure you're going to love surprising Leo and Krista.
09:34You know, afterwards you should go to New York and surprise the family.
09:37Yeah, no.
09:38I don't think I could really leave you on while you're dealing with all of this.
09:41Oh, no.
09:42I'm fine.
09:43I've got Colton supporting me now.
09:44Yeah.
09:45But also, what about Lasseter?
09:46I mean, I'm already down Krista.
09:47You could get a temporary manager.
09:50Why don't you see if Chloe is available?
09:53Maybe she'd love to get away for a bit.
09:55Not a bad idea, actually.
09:56Yeah.
09:57Give me a call now.
09:58Private hot tubs, you say?
10:00And no killers on staff?
10:02Oh, it sounds like heaven, doll.
10:05Thanks for your time.
10:06Hooroo.
10:09Vera, listen, I want you to know that I empathise with you and the other residents.
10:14And I'm conducting an internal review and I'm implementing a strict vetting process for future staff.
10:22And what was your vetting process before?
10:24Looking for a pulse?
10:26Or a pretty face?
10:27Vera, I know I'm the new kid on the block, so correct me if I'm wrong.
10:34Gladly.
10:35But you were quite fond of Dr. Tala, right? After he diagnosed your appendicitis and saved your life?
10:42Well, we all fell for his act.
10:44Right.
10:45Right.
10:46So, if he tricked the residents the same way he tricked management, aren't you all in the same boat?
10:51As in, we're a village full of Muppets?
10:54As in, you're a village full of people with a shared trauma, who could come together and work through this as a team.
11:01If you agree, maybe you could float this idea with the other residents.
11:08Well, give it a crack.
11:09I really don't need to go if you want company tonight.
11:23Well, Mum, go.
11:24You've been looking forward to it for like a week now.
11:26And plus, all I'm going to do tonight is sit on the couch, scoff my face with pizza and just crash.
11:31Dad, shouldn't Mum go out tonight?
11:34Mum can do whatever she wants.
11:38Guess I'll go pack.
11:46Seriously, Dad.
11:47Sorry, Sates.
11:51Hey, just thought I'd come over to check in.
11:54I'll leave you two to catch up.
11:56I'll take a walk.
11:57Yeah, you do that.
12:01The, um, parental suit we're heading.
12:04Yeah, 24-7.
12:06It's exhausting.
12:07Did you get much sleep last night?
12:08I couldn't shut my brain off.
12:12Anyway, how are you doing?
12:14I've, uh, been better, but I'm okay.
12:20I've had this idea.
12:22Mum and Nick are on board with it.
12:24I know Nana would be too.
12:26I, uh, I think it would make her proud.
12:31We want to put some money aside for you.
12:33So you can get corrective scar surgery on your back.
12:36You might not want it, which is, you know, absolutely fine.
12:38I, I think you're perfect the way you are.
12:42If it's something you want to think about, there's no rush.
12:46The option's always going to be there and the money's not going anywhere.
12:49So.
13:07And now that Dad's on the mend and Darcy's gone, I am so excited for some quality us time.
13:11You know, just you and me.
13:12And my mum and sister.
13:15They're coming down to visit.
13:16They're flying in from Brizzy tomorrow.
13:17What?
13:18Well how long are they going to be here for?
13:21Can I hide here for a bit?
13:23Please.
13:24Oh!
13:26Oh.
13:27Depends what you're hiding from.
13:28Oh.
13:29Just the children I live with.
13:31Like seriously.
13:32It feels like I'm nannying all over again.
13:33If only Mum and Dad were just as well behaved as Abigail was.
13:37It's just, it's been a day.
13:39But you know, there was one good thing that happened today.
13:44Byron and I kind of had like a moment.
13:47Like a friend moment though.
13:49Oh.
13:50Okay, well.
13:51Keep them coming.
13:52I love you both to bits.
13:53And I would really love if we could all be a gang again.
13:55Okay, it was just a small moment.
13:56We weren't like making friendship bracelets for each other or anything.
14:01Well, no pressure.
14:02Hey, um, Holly was telling me your mum was tracking down your dad's family.
14:05That's why.
14:06Oh yeah, and Sates, I actually have a few thoughts about that.
14:08And the first one is, how do we know if any of it's true?
14:12I mean, we've got this woman claiming to be his biological sister slagging off his alleged father.
14:17But we have no proof that she is who she says she is.
14:19And what, we're just supposed to trust her?
14:22I mean, Mum's pretty convinced.
14:24Yeah, but liars can be convincing.
14:25You and I both know that.
14:26I just don't think we should take anything at face value.
14:29So you think Wendy should keep digging?
14:31No, I think Andrew should.
14:32It's his family and he's got all the resources.
14:34All of this has caused enough drama.
14:36We don't need to add fuel to the fire.
14:38No, Holly.
14:40Dad's over it, okay?
14:41It's a no-go zone.
14:42Just keep your thoughts to yourself.
14:44Please.
14:45Do you know where Holly ran off to?
14:46Uh, I assume she's checking in on Val.
14:47Or she's picking up a present for the perfect boyfriend.
14:48Oh, she got a new boyfriend, did she?
14:49There were never any small stories with Manna.
14:50She had such a funny habit of being extra.
14:51Hey, um, do you guys want to join us?
14:52We just ordered coffees.
14:53Uh, sure.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Yeah, great.
14:56I'll go order.
14:57Good vibes only.
14:58Bonus points if you make me laugh.
14:59I heard you were talking about Amanda.
15:00Yeah, yeah, we were.
15:01You must have heaps of funny stories about her.
15:02Oh, yeah.
15:03How much time you got?
15:04Yeah, yeah.
15:05Yeah, no, look, there, yeah.
15:06Oh, that's a big deal.
15:07I'm not sure.
15:08I'm not sure.
15:09I'm not sure.
15:10I'm not sure.
15:11I'm not sure.
15:12You guys want to join us?
15:13We just ordered coffees.
15:14Uh, sure.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Yeah, great.
15:17I'll go order.
15:18Good vibes only.
15:19Yeah.
15:20I heard you were talking about Amanda.
15:21Yeah, yeah, we were.
15:22You must have heaps of funny stories about her.
15:23Oh, yeah.
15:24How much time you got?
15:27Yeah, yeah, no, look, there, yeah.
15:33Yeah, no luck there. Chloe's not free.
15:36She's actually currently in the process of moving to Adelaide with Ellie.
15:39Oh, Mark and Tyler will be happy.
15:41Okay, so what are the plans for her manager?
15:43Well, I did send out a staff email asking if anybody was interested in stepping up,
15:47but Glenn Darby has already replied.
15:49He'd be great.
15:50And Katrina Marshall has stuck up her hand too.
15:54She wouldn't be such a good fit.
15:56Not at all. I think I'll go with Glenn.
15:58Yeah, well, she wouldn't be happy about that.
16:00Anyway, now that everything's sorted, why don't you go and book your flight?
16:04Yes, I will.
16:10You are not looking at a stampede anymore.
16:14And your A-listers, me and Gino, are staying put.
16:17Oh.
16:19You made a really good point.
16:21But some people are still looking at it up in sticks.
16:24A lot of folk are really shaken up.
16:26Yeah, of course. I mean, it's early days, yeah.
16:29But we'll remind everyone of the support options we have in place.
16:33I really appreciate your help, Vera.
16:36He can stay.
16:42I am so impressed.
16:45Just doing my job.
16:47So yeah, as far as grandmothers go, she's pretty special.
16:53As far as friends go too.
16:59Okay, brunch time.
17:01Get some chips in me.
17:02Alright, you can't have brunch if you've already had breakfast.
17:05It's either a late breakfast or an early lunch.
17:08We're on an early lunch.
17:09Oh my gosh.
17:10And rules are for full.
17:11Also, chips aren't even brunch food, dude.
17:13They're basically tiny little hash browns.
17:16They're actually very different.
17:18Firstly, structure.
17:20Hey, what happened with us?
17:29Me too.
17:30I'm really sorry.
17:33So am I.
17:34This is all really sad.
17:39What are you doing?
17:44This is not happening.
17:46We're done.
17:47I just felt like we hadn't won.
17:49I am sorry that we're over.
17:51And I am sad that we're over too.
17:53But we're not getting back together.
17:56I thought now that we had all the Darcy stuff wrapped up,
17:58then maybe we could figure it out.
17:59We are not right for each other.
18:01The cons outweigh the pros and you know how I feel about that.
18:08What's the money that you offered me for the surgery?
18:13Was it conditional?
18:14No, it's not at all.
18:15Well, then you need to move on and accept the fact that
18:18I don't love you anymore, Byron.
18:31Yeah.
18:32Okay.
18:33Well, I'm ready to go.
18:36But I'd rather stay.
18:39Hey, it's your call.
18:40But if you do go, make sure you enjoy yourself.
18:43Don't spend the whole car ride worrying about us.
18:45We'll be okay.
18:50Look, I can't leave without saying that I've been doing a lot of thinking
18:54and I've realised that our problems started with the Philippa and JJ situation.
19:00We've created trust issues and we've been making these poor decisions ever since.
19:06So if we can start from there...
19:15Just drive safe.
19:16Text me when you get there.
19:17Okay?
19:22Right.
19:23I'll see you tomorrow.
19:31Come in.
19:35Hey, uh, Sadie's not here.
19:38I actually, um, came to see you.
19:43I just got off the phone with Stephen Brooke, your biological father.
19:47Hey.
19:54How was your first day?
19:56Forlorn.
19:57But good.
19:58Yeah?
19:59Not like a challenge.
20:00Oh, you'd be in trouble if you didn't.
20:01I'll be back in a sec.
20:02So did you make any new friends?
20:04I made a new bestie, actually.
20:06Really?
20:07A lady you might know by the name of Bunt?
20:09No.
20:10Vera took a shining to you?
20:11Yeah.
20:12She was a bit icy at first, but I smoothed her over.
20:15Wow.
20:16Did that cost you a foot rub?
20:17No.
20:18No?
20:19Okay.
20:20I think you're doing all right.
20:21Oh, yeah.
20:22I hope so.
20:23It's been a lot.
20:25I've just taken a break to recharge the batteries.
20:27All right.
20:28Well, listen, if you need a bit of a jump start, I've got time.
20:33And there's no one at my house.
20:36I think taking the scenic route back to work might do the trick.
20:40Bit of fresh air.
20:41Okay.
20:43Bye.
20:48Hey, I was half expecting you to ditch me.
20:51Oh, I tried.
20:53Listen, I just offered Colton a cheeky midday hookup,
20:56and he just shut me down.
20:58Mate, he's on the clock.
20:59No, but he didn't even seem tempted,
21:01or he didn't even offer a rain check.
21:03I'm telling you, when we first met, it was all sizzle,
21:05and I don't know, something's different now.
21:08Didn't he wink at you with his ankles behind his head?
21:11Yeah, but maybe I've just read this whole yoga thing wrong.
21:15Like, he offered me his ear and his shoulder,
21:17but what if he never goes lower than that?
21:19You think he's just friendzoning me because I'm still seeing red?
21:23Or what if he's not over everything that happened on the island?
21:25Oh, my gosh.
21:27Do you think he's one of those weird freaks
21:29who prefers to get his mouth around a muffin for morning tea?
21:37I piggybacked off Wendy's research,
21:39found Gretchen's social media, got your dad's name,
21:42and pulled his number from a local charity website.
21:44And so, so what, you just called him?
21:50I pretended that I was a reporter doing a story on AB families in the area.
21:54And this just in, he's not a deadbeat.
21:57Holly!
21:58He volunteers, he coached kids sport, he was on the council,
22:02he owned a small business for a few years before he retired,
22:05and his dad jokes were on point.
22:07Yeah, but someone's private life can be totally different to what they show in public.
22:11Sure, he might still be everything that Gretchen said he was,
22:14but are you really just gonna go off one person's opinion?
22:16I know you're upset at Wendy.
22:19I just, I had to get involved, something wasn't sitting right.
22:23I wanted to leave it.
22:29I've stuffed up, haven't I?
22:31No, no, I'm not mad at you, Holly.
22:34I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with all this.
22:37Well, I do.
22:39And I'll do it with you.
22:42Let's go to Sandy Point.
22:44Right now.
22:45Coming up on Neighbours.
22:47What if he's angry that I just showed up out of the blue?
22:49Well, then at least we'll know what Gretchen was like.
22:51You look different.
22:52What did I miss?
22:53You okay, Jane?
22:54I asked to see Darcy and he's agreed.
22:56How did my mother die, Darcy?
22:58I don't know.
22:59I don't know.
23:00I don't know.
23:01I don't know.
23:02I don't know.
23:03I don't know.
23:04I don't know.
23:05I don't know.
23:06I don't know.
23:07I don't know.
23:08I don't know.
23:09I don't know.
23:10I don't know.
23:11I don't know.
23:12I don't know.
