00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02We keep our arrangement and your sister-in-law will be fine.
00:05You've got a deal.
00:06We're not getting back together.
00:07My mum and sister, they're coming down to visit.
00:10One of my junior teachers, you need to take carelessly.
00:13It must be Stephen.
00:14I think I'm your son to my new family.
00:17You were furious when I contacted Gretchen.
00:20And then Holly does the same thing and she's the hero?
00:23We got home in Florida.
00:25If I said that we went out and celebrated after, she'd feel way worse.
00:30Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours.
00:37With a little understanding, you can find the perfect plan.
00:48Neighbours should be there for one another.
00:55That's when good neighbours meet for the good things.
01:07Okay, how do I look?
01:10Fantastic.
01:12There's no way you're not going to ace this interview.
01:14Hey, look, I made you something to eat.
01:16Oh, no.
01:17No, no, no, no.
01:18I'm too nervous.
01:19That'll probably make me sick.
01:21Yeah, okay.
01:22No worries.
01:23Well, good luck.
01:25Bye.
01:26Bye.
01:27Bye.
01:28Bye.
01:44Hey, can you move your feet?
01:46Max, the place looks fine.
01:48That's not them already, is it?
01:58Oh, hey.
01:59Hi.
02:00I was going to come over earlier, but I wanted to wait to apply and let you work.
02:03Well, fair warning, if you're sticking around, Max is on a cleaning frenzy.
02:06All right, I'll get straight to the point.
02:08Dad told me about your road trip to Sandy Point yesterday.
02:11Okay, I did come around earlier to explain, but you were in the shower.
02:15How mad are you?
02:18I told you not to get involved, and you completely ignored me.
02:22Well, it all went really well, if that makes any difference.
02:25Yeah.
02:26On one hand, my dad got to meet his biological father, which is pretty great.
02:30And on the other, you met my grandpa before me.
02:33And now things between my parents are really weird.
02:35Okay, I'm really sorry, Sades.
02:38I was just trying to help.
02:39I'm not going to make a big thing about it, but it just needed to be said.
02:43Uh, wait, sorry, can we just back it up for a second?
02:46What happened yesterday?
02:47Holly and my dad went to Sandy Point yesterday to meet his birth father.
02:51Oh, that's why you couldn't answer your phone all over?
02:54Yeah, the reception was really bad.
02:56I hope Wendy wasn't too upset.
02:58She'll be fine.
03:00So, Max's mum's arriving today?
03:05Yeah, Engie's sister.
03:07So, you know, that's why I thought her house would be too crowded.
03:11Hey, um, you look, Cara, if you're going to be studying, I hope we, uh, won't be too loud.
03:17How rowdy can a game of poker get?
03:19Depends how badly Ty is losing.
03:21Yeah, that ain't going to happen.
03:22Sorry, sis.
03:23I'm sorry, sis.
03:29Right.
03:30Time for you to put your money where your mouth is, brother.
03:32Work just texted.
03:33They need me to head in early.
03:35What?
03:36Yeah.
03:37The piano bar's not open yet.
03:38Yeah, they, um, they need me to wait for a package.
03:41What?
03:42Well, that's very responsible of you.
03:45Sorry.
03:46I don't want to go.
03:47Tell them you can't.
03:48They got me over a barrel.
03:51Oh, okay.
03:52Well, that's okay.
03:54Work comes first.
04:00So, yeah, we met Andrew's family.
04:02It was actually pretty amazing.
04:04Cool.
04:05Um, sorry.
04:06I want to hear all about it.
04:08I just need everything to be fine.
04:12Hi, Sam.
04:13Um, you get rid of this.
04:14I'll get the door.
04:15Yeah, thanks.
04:16Hi.
04:17What's the hobby?
04:18Yeah.
04:19We've heard so much about.
04:20Oh, Kelsey.
04:21Maxie.
04:22Hey, sirs.
04:23All right, my turn.
04:24Come here, yo.
04:25Hey, mum.
04:26Oh, hey, mum.
04:27What are you covering up?
04:28It smells like a hospital in here.
04:29I just want everything to be perfect for you.
04:31Oh, you know I don't care about that.
04:32Most important thing is I get to see you.
04:33Can I get you guys something to drink?
04:34I would love a cup of tea.
04:35Just water's good.
04:36Thanks.
04:37I'll grab your bags.
04:38Would you bring enough?
04:39That's a lot of clothes for a couple nights.
04:41I...
04:42I'll grab your bags.
04:44You bring enough?
04:45That's...
04:46A lot of clothes for a couple nights.
04:47I...
04:48I...
04:49I...
04:50I...
04:51Ah...
04:52It's...
04:53Very well...
04:54That's...
04:55You?
04:56I...
04:57I...
04:58I...
04:59I...
05:00I...
05:01I...
05:02I'm...
05:03I'm going to say all of you.
05:04It could be great for me.
05:05Oh, I'm not late, am I?
05:17No, you're right on time.
05:20Interview panel's just getting organised.
05:22Right.
05:24You seem a little frazzled.
05:27Oh, well, let's just say it's been a confusing morning.
05:31Would you like to take a moment?
05:33Oh, no, no, no, no.
05:34I don't want to keep you waiting.
05:37Okay, good to go, whenever you are.
05:47Okay, what is the legislation that covers arrest warrants?
05:50The Criminal Procedures Act, section five.
05:55Ah, six.
05:57Twelve.
05:58Oh, you need to book in another study session with Lydia.
06:01No, you need to stop stressing about this exam.
06:03Look, I just don't want to let her down.
06:05She's been so good to me.
06:06Okay.
06:07Lucky she's straight.
06:08Otherwise, maybe I'd be a bit jealous.
06:11I'm just teasing.
06:11I'm glad she's so supportive.
06:13I am just going to go see if Tane wants to reschedule poker for tonight.
06:16Can't you just call him?
06:18I tried.
06:18He didn't answer.
06:19He wasn't there.
06:32I don't know.
06:33They caught him in early.
06:36Apparently not.
06:39Why would he lie?
06:40So, Holly, you never met Saskia when her dad was dating your mum.
06:50No, I don't get too invested in mum's boyfriends.
06:53They tend to come with an expiry date.
06:55No offence.
07:02Hey, um, Saskia, the cutest member of the house is outside right now if you want to come meet him.
07:07Okay, I'm offended by that.
07:08Oh, we love the videos Max sends us of the dog.
07:12Go on, give him a pat for me.
07:14Hey, um, is everything okay with Saskia?
07:25She seems more quiet than usual.
07:26She's okay, but it's been a rough few months.
07:29Right, Dad never mentioned.
07:30Were things hectic at her old school?
07:32Yeah, the troubles followed her to the new one.
07:34Seriously?
07:34Unfortunately, yeah.
07:36All the students knew people at the old school.
07:39The bullies got on social media and organised a welcoming party for Saskia on her very own.
07:44That's why your dad thought it might be a good idea if she came down here for a while.
07:49For a visit?
07:51Well, being here has done the world of good for you.
07:54We were thinking it might work out for Saskia too.
07:58Wait, are you saying you want her to stay here long time?
08:06You presented yourself very well.
08:08Well, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to stay focused.
08:11Oh, why?
08:12Things are a bit tense between Angie and I at the moment.
08:16Right, is he still upset about you searching for his family?
08:19No.
08:20He and Holly went and visited his birth father yesterday.
08:23Oh, wow.
08:24Yeah, and you know, when I stuck my nose in and tracked down Steve, he was, well, really upset with me.
08:30And then when Holly interferes, because she engineered this whole thing, fine with it.
08:36Oh, Angie.
08:37It should have been me, Jane.
08:39I know I was on my way to Murrayville when this all happened, but if you would have called me, I would have turned around.
08:44You think I'm being unreasonable?
08:50No.
08:51Well, Andrew could have been more thoughtful for sure.
08:55But in terms of the actual reunion, how did it go?
08:59Yeah, it was good.
09:00Apparently, his father's really sick, so they're going to spend some time getting to know each other.
09:06So ultimately, it was the result that you wanted.
09:12Yeah, I suppose.
09:13Look, I'm not dismissing your feelings, because I'd be hurt too, but that is a big thing.
09:22I imagine Andrew wasn't thinking clearly.
09:25Maybe you just need to give him some grace, just as he should have when you originally told him about Stephen and Gretchen.
09:37How'd it go?
09:38Oh.
09:38Well, Jane said I'm in with a shot, so let's hope that means something.
09:44Go, Mum.
09:45Is there ever any doubt?
09:48We just have to wait and see.
09:52You?
09:53Hey, um, can we have a chat?
09:56Sure.
09:58Okay.
10:04So, I...
10:05wanted to apologise.
10:08For not talking to you sooner.
10:11I was messed up about Barbara.
10:14I shouldn't have taken a hand on you.
10:17Well, I'm sorry for getting so upset this morning.
10:20Hey, it's totally understandable.
10:23I should have handled things better.
10:24I also want to say that I am so happy what Gretchen said wasn't true, and that your father is a lovely man.
10:37I mean, he's half you.
10:38How could he not be?
10:40There's a lot to wrap my head around.
10:43I mean, he's a stranger, but he's also my dad.
10:45It's a weird feeling.
10:46Yeah, I bet.
10:48And he's also sick, which adds a lot of pressure.
10:53I know it's easier said than done to just live in the moment, but maybe that's all you can do.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Some really good advice.
11:04Yeah.
11:06Anyway, tell me about this interview.
11:09You obviously smashed it.
11:10Well, I think I'm definitely on the short list.
11:14But there are a lot of applicants who have way more experience than me.
11:19Yeah, but they're not Wendy Rodwell.
11:23Let's hope that counts for something.
11:30I just wish you could have given me a heads up before you got here.
11:32Well, we wouldn't ask if we thought there was a better option.
11:35Yeah, but does Saskia really want to live with three stinky guys?
11:38I just can't believe you and Dad thought this was a good idea.
11:41Well, we're more concerned about what happens if Saskia's stuck in a school where she's been constantly tormented.
11:48Yeah, I get that.
11:52Look, your dad and I, we think it's what's best for her.
11:56Hmm.
11:57Well, if it was up to me, I would say yes, of course I would.
12:01Can you talk to your housemates?
12:03Yeah, yeah, I'll ask Tate and Byron, but if they're not up for it, there's not much I can do.
12:08Well, we are officially covered in dog slobber.
12:15Has Mum done the big cell yet?
12:18Yeah.
12:20I guess that's why you went to get rid of me.
12:23Big cell on what?
12:24Well, uh, if it's okay with the others, Saskia might be staying for a while.
12:33Imagine that, though.
12:35Hey.
12:36Hey.
12:37Finished work already?
12:38Yeah.
12:39Everything go okay with a delivery?
12:41Sort of.
12:41Huh?
12:41I know it wasn't the piano bar you spoke to this morning.
12:45They said they hadn't seen you.
12:48If you didn't want to play poker, why don't you just say?
12:51It was one of my mates.
12:52He's gone overseas next week and he wanted to catch up.
12:55So why not just say that?
12:58I thought you'd get offended.
13:00What?
13:01Of course I wouldn't.
13:01Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
13:05Max wants to talk about something.
13:11Hey.
13:15You, uh, dropped that.
13:17Thanks.
13:18Is that all yours?
13:19Yep.
13:20Lucky night at the casino.
13:22Mm-hmm.
13:23Max has told me so much about you.
13:33Oh, I know.
13:34You've really looked out for him since he got here.
13:36That's why I haven't come down here and say thank you.
13:39Oh, I appreciate that, but you didn't need to come to the school.
13:43I'm also here on official business.
13:47I don't know if Shane's ever mentioned our daughter Saskia to you.
13:51Well, I'm aware that Max had a sibling.
13:54Well, she's very studious and smart, wants to be an architect.
13:57Oh, good for her.
13:59We're both hoping that we can enrol Saskia here.
14:03Oh, are you moving to Eritsborough?
14:05I'm not, no, but we are looking for a new school for Saskia.
14:09Right, well, may I ask what's wrong with the current school?
14:13There's a bullying situation.
14:15I am terrified where it'll lead to if I don't get her out of there.
14:19I'm sorry, that's awful.
14:22Sending her to a private school hasn't made any difference to what she's experienced.
14:27And we've heard such good things about you and this school.
14:30Are there places available?
14:33Well, if you live in the catchment, then yes.
14:35Look, we're still working on a permanent address, but hopefully Saskia can stay with Max.
14:40Right, well, why don't I drop the school paperwork off to you later and we'll take it from there.
14:50Yeah, Saskia is the complete opposite of Max.
14:53She's so sweet and quiet.
14:56She won't be asking us to get her a fake ID anytime soon, put it that way.
15:00Glad to hear that.
15:01Well, we've never done anything like that.
15:04Yeah, of course not.
15:07Hey, do you want to go get coffee before you go to the gym?
15:11Yeah, sure.
15:12Okay, well, let me just get my phone.
15:13Go.
15:20Where's Wendy?
15:21Ah, up at the shops.
15:23Are things still tense?
15:25A little bit.
15:26It's getting better.
15:27Are we still keeping the bar visit a secret?
15:35Yeah, I'm worried that if we tell her, she's going to feel left out all over again.
15:41I really should have celebrated with her.
15:43Right.
15:44I guess we're a little too spontaneous.
15:46Yeah.
15:48Jane messaged.
15:49They need to cancel coffee.
15:53This girl has made my life home.
15:54I woke up to school in the morning and I'd feel sick because I knew it was waiting for me.
16:00And the teachers didn't help?
16:02They didn't want to know about it.
16:06I'm not trying to guilt-trip you, but when you left, I felt so alone.
16:10Hey, hey, hey, come here.
16:14Hey, you're here now.
16:16Okay, we're going to get this sorted.
16:20Hey, Tay, this is my sister, Saskia.
16:23Sorry, I'm a bit of a mess at the moment.
16:28Know the feeling.
16:31Ah, did you get my text?
16:33Ah, yeah, yeah.
16:34If I'm paying less rent, I'm happy for you to stay, Saskia.
16:40Hey, really?
16:42Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
16:44Know the feeling.
16:45What's that about?
16:47Nothing I can't handle.
16:48Congratulations!
16:56What is this about?
16:57I popped over so we could all surprise you with the good news.
17:02What do you mean?
17:03I hope there is some stinky cheese in those groceries to go along with the bubbles.
17:07Does this mean...
17:11Yes, Wendy, you got the job.
17:13Congratulations.
17:14Oh, I can't believe it.
17:16Well, I can.
17:17You're the best candidate by far.
17:19Oh, Jane.
17:21I promise I'm not going to let you down.
17:23Got time to celebrate.
17:25Yes.
17:25Some people like using cash.
17:35Yeah, if you're into tax evasion or money laundering, sure.
17:39You haven't even graduated yet and you've already seen crimes everywhere.
17:42Well, don't you think it's a little bit weird that he's carrying that much money on him?
17:45Look, I am annoyed at him for bailing on me, but I just refuse to think the worst of him over something like this.
17:51Why not explain it?
17:53Why just drop it, at least a couple of thousand dollars, and then just leave?
17:57He's not obligated to tell us his financial decision.
17:59Look, I'll be back in a sec.
18:01Hey, Holly!
18:02Hey!
18:03How are ya?
18:04Good.
18:04How are you?
18:05Great.
18:06Um, a little bit random, but have you noticed anything different about Tay lately?
18:11Like what?
18:12Oh, anything, really.
18:14He just seems stressed and I'm worried about him.
18:18Well, um, he does seem to have a lot more money to throw around, which is a bit weird.
18:24Yeah.
18:25Thanks.
18:31When's Byron getting home?
18:33When can we talk to him?
18:34Oh, yeah, uh, there's something you should know.
18:36His grandmother just passed, Jane's mum.
18:38The whole family are pretty cut up about it.
18:40Okay.
18:44Hey, Jane.
18:46Come here.
18:46Perhaps.
18:47I'm just dropping off some enrolment forms for the school and a couple of other things.
18:51Hello.
18:52Hello.
18:52This is Saskia.
18:54Wow.
18:55I looked into your academic records.
18:58It is very impressive.
19:00I'm looking forward to having you at the school.
19:03You still haven't got a permanent address yet.
19:05Yeah, I still wanted to talk to Byron about that.
19:08Well, it's okay because I already have and he's on board.
19:11Oh.
19:12Oh, fantastic.
19:13So, I explained the situation.
19:15You know, he's happy for Saskia to move in.
19:17I think Holly might have mentioned something about Saskia's presence, encouraging Max to clean more.
19:23Yeah.
19:23Okay.
19:24So, get stuck with me now, Maxie.
19:26Get in here.
19:27Yeah.
19:27Yeah.
19:28Yeah.
19:28Yeah.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Yeah.
19:31Yeah.
19:32Yeah.
19:33Yeah.
19:34Yeah.
19:35Yeah.
19:36Yeah.
19:37Yeah.
19:38Yeah.
19:39Yeah.
19:40Yeah.
19:41Yeah.
19:42Yeah.
19:43Yeah.
19:43Yeah.
20:01What are you doing?
20:06How do you have Lydia's ID?
20:08Can I just break into my car and go through my thing so it's none of your business?
20:12Does it have anything to do with the amount of money that you've been spending lately?
20:16Or that huge wad of cash that you dropped before?
20:18That fake story that you gave Remy?
20:20Are you investigating me or...?
20:22I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
20:25Why?
20:26Why?
20:27Because I'm worried about you and I feel like you're hiding something.
20:29What's going on?
20:31I found this?
20:32I found this in Tay's car.
20:33Look, you are stressed, you're lying and you're acting defensively.
20:38You're obviously caught up in something.
20:41Hey.
20:42You're right.
20:43I am.
20:44Lydia's been blackmailing me to sleep with her.
20:48I've been doing it to protect you.
20:49I've been doing it to protect you.
20:55Coming up on Neighbours.
20:56You know, we never talked about that trip to Sandy Point.
20:57I just wanted to focus on your mum.
20:58Are you sure you don't mind me staying?
20:59Ah, absolutely not.
21:00How do I look?
21:01Uh, normal.
21:02Damn it.
21:03I asked Tay if this could be some kind of mistake and he said no.
21:04He's a liar.
