02:33supposed to be having dinner like now I don't know what to tell you what's going on I thought you two
02:37were having dinner it's been cancelled why maybe I didn't want to go out to dinner with you you
02:46invited me out well maybe I changed my mind darling is it because of the alcohol because I know you said
02:52earlier that you were fine with going to a bar but maybe you weren't Maz you can always see straight

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