00:17risk that happening again I'm not admitting that Levi was right but maybe our wedding it's the
00:23wrong time for me to repair with dad so I'm gonna do it beforehand test the waters with him why don't

01:35hours to do it in that doesn't sound like much no she's a maid it's the biggest night of her life
01:39I think it's it's not about the notice about the manpower two minutes wait okay one minute what and
01:43we're done thank you yeah fine have my food I won't say no hey is Eden around I actually haven't
01:51seen her all week do you know how things went when she reached out to dad that's what I wanted to ask
01:54about I just had a very interesting conversation with him I've lost it I'm serious there is something
02:01wrong with me have one of these David dropped him around hang on your your sarge gave you beer yeah
02:07I'll tell you about it later you go first okay um so you know how I called dad yes you said that
02:14it was basically okay but it was a bit awkward very awkward but yeah you were going to follow up on
02:17it I did I mean I have and and we had a civil chat and then we had a massive fight and then he called
02:23back and then my mouth became detached from my brain and I told him to come and visit sorry you invited

02:48dinner like now I don't know what to tell you what's going on I thought you two were having dinner
02:54it's been cancelled why
02:56maybe I didn't want to go out to dinner with you
03:02you invited me out well maybe I changed my mind darling is it because of the alcohol because
03:09I know you said earlier that you were fine with going to a bar but maybe you weren't
03:13Maz you can always see straight through me I thought I was fine but maybe I'm just not ready to trust
03:24myself yet there's nothing to be ashamed of no one's strong all the time okay well let's let's
03:33have let's just eat here or better still come back to my place I'm pretty sure I can rustle up something

03:43I'll see you all tomorrow
03:45oh thanks
04:00don't make me
04:01thanks Sarge
04:02I get why you're stressed
04:06having your dad here is a big deal
04:09last time he was here things got pretty heated
04:12yeah yeah
04:14so you must have a reason for asking him to visit
04:17babe you know the reason
04:19if I'm gonna invite him to our wedding I need to spend some time with him in the flesh first
04:24that's a good idea
04:26don't raise my body telling me otherwise
04:31you're gonna be okay
04:32and you're not alone
04:35I have the entire day off so if you need anything at all I'm just across the street
04:39baby you're my one
04:44oh
04:59Oh, coffee!
05:02Oh, thank you.
05:05I thought I'd find you here.
05:07Yeah? How'd you figure that?
05:09Well, the board was gone, the car was gone, I put two and two together.
05:12Yeah, well, I barely slept.
05:14I just am too excited about Kirby's launch.
05:17Yeah?
05:18Yeah, so I figured I'd come down here, get refreshed,
05:20and then get stuck back into organising.
05:22You know, it is amazing how refreshed you can feel
05:24when you're not waking me up in the middle of the night.
05:26Okay, I still don't know why you are complaining about that.
05:30Plus, when the timing's right, I'll be back at it again, mister,
05:33so you better buckle up.
05:35Don't you mean unbuckle?
05:36Do I, Nance?
05:38Hang on.
05:39What?
05:40This better not be work.
05:41Oh, who is it?
05:43Eden.
05:45No way.
05:47Problem?
05:48Uh, yeah, I think we may have entered into an alternative timeline.
05:51Dude, Eden just sent you a message as well?
05:54Yeah, please tell me I'm not going insane
05:56and that Eden actually did invite us to a barbecue at her place with Dad.
05:59I mean, it sounds like they're reconciling.
06:01Yeah, totally.
06:02Until Dad says something that Eden decides to take offence to
06:04and all hell breaks loose.
06:05Well, it sounds like you should pack a mouth car just in case.
06:08It sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.
06:11You haven't told her the best part yet, have you?
06:13Me? Why? What are you talking about?
06:14Eden invited you as well.
06:16Oh.
06:18And you.
06:19One big happy family.
06:21Ha ha.
06:27Alrighty, barbecue's clean. You're good to go out there.
06:30Thanks.
06:31Having said that, it's probably a job for your roommates in the future.
06:33Okay, well, Remy's locked himself in a hotel room to finish the eggs, so he can't.
06:36And, um, Gerby has gone shopping with Avalon, so...
06:39Okay.
06:40I think it's great that you're making lunch and not going out to salt,
06:43but don't you think you're going a little bit overboard with the salad?
06:45I mean, honestly, your dad's never going to be able to eat all of it.
06:48Well, I mean, you know, worst case scenario, I can just send the leftovers next door.
06:51John won't say enough.
06:52Okay.
06:53Okay.
06:54Well, look, your dad's due here any minute now, so I'd better get out of your hair.
06:56Oh, no, don't. You don't even think about it.
06:57Sorry?
06:58You said that if I needed you, you would be here, and I need you, so...
07:04He's here.
07:05It's okay.
07:06Let's put down a knife.
07:07Hey.
07:09Right. Yeah, right.
07:16Jimmy!
07:17Welcome.
07:18Cash, it's good to see you.
07:19Likewise.
07:20I didn't know you'd be here.
07:21Nor did I. Come on in.
07:29Hello, sweetheart.
07:31Don't call me that.
07:36I'm not going to lie.
07:41I'm a bit paranoid about meeting your dad.
07:44Especially after what happened with your mum.
07:46Oh, don't be.
07:47Dad's really chill.
07:48Uh-huh.
07:49I still like a list of things I can or cannot say, though.
07:52Well, you already told everyone everything, so you can just relax.
07:57Are you sure you want to come?
07:59I know you've got a lot on your plate.
08:00Launch tomorrow night.
08:01My team is all over it.
08:03Plus, there is no way that I'm missing Liz.
08:05Yeah?
08:06Dad?
08:07I've been dying to meet your dad for ages.
08:08It's just such a shame that I was away the last time he was here.
08:11He's disappointed he didn't get to meet you either.
08:13I just wish it was under more controlled circumstances.
08:16Well, how Eden handles today is anyone's guess.
08:21It's a great place you're going.
08:22Actually, I live across the street.
08:24Ah.
08:25Is that how you two met as neighbours?
08:26Ah, no.
08:27Actually, Eden and I have known each other for a couple of years,
08:30but she didn't give me a shot until she moved to the bay.
08:33That's not entirely accurate, but okay.
08:34Okay.
08:35Well, it's obviously all worked out.
08:37Congratulations on the engagement, by the way.
08:39I was thrilled to hear you making that commitment.
08:42Dad.
08:43What's going on?
08:44Hey.
08:45Why are we early?
08:46What time is Barbie supposed to start?
08:47Hey.
08:48No, all good.
08:50Jimmy, this is Marley and Mackenzie.
08:52Abby and Levi's partners.
08:54Hey, mate.
08:55Great to meet you.
08:56Hi, Jimmy.
08:57It's so good to finally meet you.
08:58Pleasure's all mine.
08:59I had no idea that Eden would invite the whole family.
09:01Yeah, neither did I.
09:02More the merrier.
09:04So, Jimmy, how long are you in town for?
09:06Sure, exactly.
09:10Well, I'm really glad you're here, Dad.
09:11Look at you, beautiful thing.
09:15Eden.
09:16You in here?
09:40Hey, Eden.
09:46Oh, hey, uh, I was just, um, looking for this.
09:56Yep.
09:57I could have sworn you were just hiding from your dad.
09:59Gave me that idea.
10:01Yeah, that'd be crazy, right?
10:03I mean, clearly I'm handling it super well.
10:06Well, actually, inviting half the town to run interference was a pretty genius move.
10:11Yeah, thanks.
10:12I, uh, got that idea from you last night when you said I didn't have to do this alone.
10:18I am glad that I could help.
10:21When he started talking about commitment, I mean, the guy doesn't even know the meaning of the word.
10:27Um, if you are really serious about giving us a chance, then you can't just fault every single word that comes out of your mouth.
10:33Yeah, well, it's a bit hard when everything he says is stupid.
10:35Well, you're never gonna know if you can be in the same room as him if you spend the whole time hiding in here.
10:42Honey?
10:47Give me a minute.
10:49Of course.
11:00Here we go. Enjoy.
11:03All good?
11:04Uh, yeah.
11:06Well, it would be if you stopped asking me every time I flippin' walked past.
11:13Morning, all.
11:15Morning, John.
11:16Usual?
11:17Mm-hmm. Everything okay here?
11:19Well, she's acting like everything's normal, but she's pretty stressed.
11:21Do you really think she bailed because she was worried about being around the alcohol?
11:25I honestly don't know.
11:27Well, it doesn't add up, does it?
11:28First she said she didn't remember, then she said she didn't want to be there.
11:32Am I the only one that thinks that's weird?
11:35Can we just drop her?
11:36We don't want Ray to feel any worse than she already does.
11:39Anyhow, I'd better get moving.
11:41It's Kirby's launch tomorrow and they've booked out Salt as well as the Surf Club,
11:45and I've gotta go and set the garage ready to run the Surf Lifesaving.
11:48Well, you might need to get yourself a new set of earplugs, John.
11:51Don't joke.
11:52It's gonna be fantastic.
11:54Irene, you're still okay to work tomorrow so I can go with Justin?
11:57I asked you about it.
12:01Yes, Leah, I know.
12:03Alright, I'm not a flippin' imbecile.
12:06No, I didn't mean that.
12:08I'm going for a walk.
12:16Will you wait up a minute?
12:18Look, can't you take a hint? I want to be by myself.
12:21Well, bad luck.
12:22What's going on with you? Why won't you talk to me?
12:27You were right about last night.
12:30In what way?
12:32I wasn't scared of drinkin'.
12:34Well, why didn't you want to come?
12:38I...
12:39I completely forgot that we made plans.
12:44It's alright if that happens.
12:46No, you...
12:47You don't understand, John.
12:50I have no recollection of sending those texts or...
12:55anything about it.
12:58Right.
13:00I want a completely blanked Leah asking me to work tomorrow.
13:05I...
13:06I don't know what's going on with me.
13:08Oh, so what?
13:09You've got a brain like a sieve at the moment.
13:11You know, it happens.
13:13I'm always forgetting where my keys are or where my phone is.
13:15Look, being forgetful is just one of the joys of growing old.
13:19I don't know.
13:20I...
13:22I think it's more than that.
13:25What do you mean?
13:30The other night, I found myself standing in the middle of the garden in my nightie.
13:37Doing what?
13:38I don't know.
13:39It's nice you're being made maid of honour.
13:40But I just hope that even puts someone else in charge of make-up.
13:54Insulting much?
13:55It reminds me when she was six, right?
13:57Mm-mm.
13:58She stole the lipstick from the undertaker from our funeral parlour.
14:00Wait, the one that they put on the corpses?
14:02She wore it proudly for weeks.
14:03It's never hard to tell her.
14:04Oh!
14:05Abby, that is so gross!
14:06What?
14:07Wait, wait.
14:08Is that true?
14:10What?
14:11Well...
14:12Guess I've always wanted to know what it's like to have an embarrassing dad and now I know.
14:15Alright people, hope you're hungry.
14:16Lunch is almost ready.
14:17Who wants to come give me a hand?
14:18Please?
14:19Yes.
14:21Marley's a nice guy, isn't he?
14:23Great bloat.
14:24Although I don't think Abby enjoyed me telling all those stories about the family, did she?
14:28Yeah, I didn't know you had any.
14:30Well, you'd be surprised.
14:31Yeah, sure would.
14:33This reminds me of the day you turned nine.
14:35It wasn't an invitation.
14:36Well, if you have any stories on this big guy, let me know because I would love to hear it.
14:41Sorry, I don't.
14:42He was the perfect child.
14:43Oh no!
14:44Especially when he refused to wear anything but a Superman costume for a whole year.
14:47Oh, cute!
14:49There it is.
14:50Yeah, there it is.
14:51Sorry for being in such a misery cuts.
14:54Oh, you're fine.
14:56No it's not, love.
14:57I don't know what came over me.
14:59I mean, I've clearly been having a few senior moments, that's all.
15:04Nothing else to it.
15:06It might be a bit more serious than that if you're waking up in the garden with no clue why.
15:11Well, love, I've obviously been sleepwalking or something.
15:15It's no big deal.
15:16Yeah, but if you've got a niggle, you go see a doctor.
15:19John!
15:20What do you mean?
15:21I don't think either of us at our age should be sweeping anything under the carpet.
15:24What?
15:25Go and get an appointment and I'll drive you there.
15:27Oh my God, Father, I should have kept my flippin' trap shut.
15:30What?
15:31I told you so you would reassure me, not freak me out.
15:34Well, I'm sorry, but I'm worried about you.
15:37Well, don't be.
15:39I'm perfectly fine.
15:41Now, can we drop it?
15:43Please?
15:44No way, that's gonna happen.
15:45I'm not gonna try that one.
15:46I'm so glad I met your dad.
15:47Yeah?
15:48Yeah?
15:49Yeah, he reminds me a lot of you.
15:50Why is that?
15:51Well, because he's funny, handsome, cool under pressure.
15:53Just like you, Superman.
15:54Aw, thank you, baby.
15:55Geez, Eden is dangerous.
15:56Mm-hmm.
15:57Yeah.
15:58The words to King Time Bombs bring to mind.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Yeah.
16:01Yeah.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Yeah.
16:05The words to King Time Bombs bring to mind.
16:06Yeah.
16:07Yeah.
16:08Well, how about later, then?
16:09Oh, you won't.
16:10No.
16:11No, I don't want to hear it.
16:12You are coming to dinner at Salt.
16:13Right, all right, I will.
16:14That's very kind of you to offer, Evan.
16:15Yeah, it is.
16:16And it's very kind of you to pay.
16:17Oh, I walked straight into that one, didn't I?
16:18Yeah.
16:19Rookie era.
16:20Yeah, well, you're good.
16:21Yeah, I'll be there soon.
16:22Yeah, I'll be there soon.
16:23Yeah.
16:24I'll be there soon.
16:25Yeah.
16:26I'll be there soon.
16:27Yeah.
16:28I'll be there soon.
16:29I'll be there soon.
16:30I'll be there soon.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Rookie era.
16:33Yeah, well, you're good.
16:34Yeah, I'll be there soon.
16:35Bye.
16:36Hey, is everything okay with your sisters?
16:39Yeah.
16:40Yeah, yeah.
16:41I, um, I've got to get home ASAP.
16:45My sister Luana's just got a few weeks work at the mines with her husband.
16:49So I've got to go home and look after the kids.
16:52Weeks with no notice.
16:53Can you, I mean, can you just tell her no?
16:55It doesn't work like that.
16:57So you're just leaving?
17:00Yeah.
17:01I'm sorry.
17:02I, I, I've got to go.
17:04I'm going to sort out everything in the shop before I leave the salon.
17:07Okay.
17:10It was, it was great meeting you.
17:13It's been awesome.
17:14Sure has.
17:15My, you're a big personal thank you too.
17:17Why?
17:19Today wouldn't have happened if I hadn't reconciled with Deb.
17:22It only happened because you were straight up with her about Abby.
17:26Your master plan has been revealed, hmm?
17:28I'm serious.
17:29I haven't been in the same space as all my kids for over 10 years.
17:34Yeah.
17:35It's been a while, hasn't it?
17:36It means so much to me, Eden, but you've forgiven me.
17:42Maybe now we can all move forward.
17:48I can't do this.
17:49Hey.
18:03What are you doing?
18:04Getting away from him.
18:05Why?
18:06Didn't you just hear what he said?
18:07Yeah, I heard what he said.
18:08I thought it was nice.
18:09No, he was blaming me for the last 10 years of us being apart.
18:11No, no, no, no he wasn't.
18:12He was just trying to say that he's happy that you're moving on.
18:14Well, I'm not and I can't.
18:16Oh, don't say.
18:17Come on, Kate.
18:18I'm done, Cash.
18:19I'm done, okay?
18:20Look at the bright side.
18:21At least it happened today instead of our wedding day.
18:23I mean, I was trying to see if I could be in the same space as him
18:26and I can't.
18:27I can't, okay?
18:28Question asked and answered.
18:29Asked and answered, great.
18:30So I'll just wander back over there and tell everyone that you're staying here for the day.
18:32Yes, can you please go over there and can you tell him to leave?
18:36Can you tell him to leave?
18:38Please.
18:43Okay.
18:58I'm sorry not to leave you with this.
19:02It's fine.
19:03You can help your family and I will deal with my...
19:07I'll call you when I get some in the right place.
19:09Okay.
19:10Oh.
19:19I'm really sorry, Dad.
19:21It's not your fault.
19:23No, but you put yourself on the line and this is what you get.
19:26Well, it was never going to be easy for Eden.
19:28We know that.
19:29She might come back, Deb.
19:32I don't know.
19:33Maybe.
19:34Emphas on the maybe.
19:36Well, if anyone can change her mind, I really believe it's Cash.
19:41Alright.
19:43I hate to say it, everyone, but Eden's not coming back.
19:46What, like not coming back today or not coming back for 10 years?
19:48I just don't think this is all going to work out the way that we wanted it to.
19:51I'd like to see her.
19:52Where is she?
19:53Look, sir.
19:54I'm sorry.
19:55Sorry, but she just wants you to go.
19:58I appreciate that Cash.
20:01But I've waited a decade for today.
20:04And I'm not going to wait another 10 years to have a proper conversation with my daughter.
20:08So I'm asking you, mate.
20:11Please.
20:12Where is she?
20:18Wow.
20:19How did you take it?
20:23Unbelievable.
20:24What am I doing here, Eden?
20:29I don't know.
20:30You're the one who just barged inside.
20:31You know what I'm talking about?
20:33Why invite me here just to avoid me all day?
20:35Well, I thought that maybe we could sort things out.
20:39Find a way forward, but clearly that's not going to happen, is it?
20:42Yes, it is.
20:44Today we've worked this out, Eden, whether you like it or not.
20:54I thought you were okay with forgetting the job.
20:59I am okay.
21:00Should I have just turned on the waterworks and given you a sob story too?
21:03I've made my choice, and I really need you to accept it.
21:06Maybe I'll just let the more qualified people enjoy.
21:09Do you want my napkin?
21:10Just in case you get emotional again.
21:12Oh, and here I was wondering if Dana had a problem with me.
21:16You need to drop the attitude.
21:18Are you shaking sides?
21:19Jo hasn't done anything wrong, and you're better than this.
