00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Are you saying you want her to stay here long-term?
00:04This girl's made my life hell.
00:06Dating all that stuff isn't for me right now.
00:08What a Saskia.
00:10I think I'm your son.
00:12Solve, victim.
00:14He's my neighbour.
00:15What are you talking about? This isn't about us.
00:17You know what, Byron? I can't do this anymore.
00:19We're over.
00:20Did she ask me about my real name or was it Harvey J?
00:22Was that your escort name?
00:24It sounded like she was offering a pretty fair amount of cash.
00:27Jasper Crawford is gonna be your instructor.
00:29While my name is being cleared, Jasper Crawford is an old friend of Lydia's.
00:59You know, I heard that Sadie was at the boys' barbecue.
01:14Oh, well don't get your hopes up.
01:16She was there just as a friend.
01:18I don't even think her and Byron even spent much time together.
01:22I always thought Sadie was good for Byron.
01:25Yeah.
01:26You know, she should have just taken him back the second she realised Darcy was messing with her head.
01:32Maybe she just, uh, she just needs a nudge.
01:38Oh, sorry.
01:41I misjudged the landing.
01:43Okay.
01:44Jane Harris speaking.
01:45What's happened?
01:46Jane.
01:47Mum.
01:48What is it?
01:49Hi.
01:50Oh!
01:51Oh my God!
01:52What?
01:53They're taking him to get a CT scan.
01:54But what happened?
01:55Jane.
01:56Mum.
01:57What is it?
01:58Hi.
01:59Oh my God!
02:00Byron!
02:01They're taking him to get a CT scan.
02:02But what happened?
02:03Byron was found in the Greenway unconscious with significant trauma to the head.
02:18What?
02:19Did he fall?
02:20The spread of his injury is actually more consistent with an assault.
02:23Well, so somebody did this to him?
02:26We can't be certain until we speak to him.
02:28What?
02:29He hasn't, he hasn't woken up?
02:31Byron's been in and out of consciousness since he arrived.
02:34He hasn't been able to tell us what happened.
02:36Why?
02:37What does that mean?
02:39I can't tell you anything for certain until we get his scans.
02:43Well, what are you afraid that the scans might show?
02:46What is the worst case scenario?
02:49Any knock to the head can be cause for concern.
02:52But the extent of Byron's injuries, and I am not saying this is the case,
02:57worst case scenario could be permanent damage to the brain.
03:01Oh my God.
03:03I will be back as soon as I can to give you an update.
03:07You have been staring at this thing all morning.
03:20What are you waiting on? A hotter date?
03:22No I am. I reached out to mum yesterday.
03:24Why would you do that?
03:25Because she's my mum.
03:26And now she's ghosted you.
03:28I just don't understand why you and my dad are always so ready to go easy on her.
03:31Like all she ever does is let you down.
03:32She's still my mum.
03:33Yeah, but that doesn't mean you owe her anything.
03:34Oi, are you going to come home and clean the pool or not?

11:18well you are here
11:20which means you care
11:23and I do
11:24I just don't want to give him the wrong idea
11:26you know I think a situation like this
11:31it puts into perspective any ill will that Byron might be feeling
11:36because despite everything that's been happening
11:40your support will mean the world to him
11:43I don't want to give him the wrong idea
11:46I don't want to give him the wrong idea
11:48I don't want to give him the wrong idea
11:49hey you are here
12:01I've been the whole time
12:03Saskia's gonna get home before I do
12:10doesn't she have her own key
12:11yeah but I promised mum I'd look after her
12:13and she shouldn't be going home to an empty house.
12:16Okay, well, you know, she's 17, right?
12:18She can make her own little afternoon snack
12:20and untie her own shoe laces.
12:22Yeah.
12:23Am I treating her like a baby?
12:25A little bit.
12:26I don't mean to.
12:28She was just super young when our parents split,
12:30and I guess I got used to acting like a third parent.
12:33Well, maybe you should find a way
12:34to enjoy being her brother again.
12:37Yeah.
12:38Like a brother who's there when she gets home from school.
12:43What is it?
12:48It's Mum.
12:50She's on her way to the Maldives.
12:52She said she'll call me in a few weeks.
12:53Yeah, if she remembers.
12:56I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
12:58I just wish you could see how awful she is to you.
13:02But, you know, stuff her.
13:05You've got Carl,
13:06and you hit the step-mum jackpot with Susan,
13:09and you've got me.
13:10I mean, how needs is he wellin' when you've got all that?
13:14Not me.
13:16Yeah.
13:27Hey.
13:28McCoy bumped into it in the driveway.
13:30I won't stay long.
13:32Just drop by to give you a little welcome to Erinsborough gift.
13:35Seriously, that's so nice.
13:42Are they Wendy Originals?
13:43They are.
13:44Wow.
13:45They're so pretty.
13:47I thought they might bring you some more confidence at school.
13:50Wait, are you having trouble again?
13:51Oh, no, I'm not.
13:53Oh, Saskia is just finding her feet.
13:56I know it must be hard being the new kid,
13:58but trust me,
14:00they're going to love you
14:01once you let them see that Saskia sparkle.
14:04Thanks, Mrs. Rudwell.
14:05Hey, you can call me Wendy outside school.
14:08But I've got to go,
14:09and I'll see you tomorrow.
14:11Great.
14:15Are you going to explain all of that?
14:17Oh, I just go stuff.
14:20Where is everybody, I thought.
14:21Byron and Tay had the day off.
14:23Yeah, right.
14:24Um,
14:25I probably should have texted you.
14:28Um,
14:30something happened today.
14:33Hey.
14:34Hey.
14:36Hey, you got any leads on Byron's attacker?
14:40Well, he can't remember any specific details,
14:42and he wasn't robbed,
14:43which suggests that this could be personal.
14:45Hmm.
14:46He doesn't seem like the type to have enemies.
14:48Yeah, I totally agree.
14:49But there's someone out there angry enough to do this to him.
14:53So, how do you proceed?
14:58Tell me what you do next.
15:00Oh.
15:01Well, I would check the scene.
15:04Try and get any footage from CCTV or doorbell cameras.
15:08That's a good start.
15:09What would you do while you're waiting for the footage to come through?
15:13Maybe look at recent assault reports,
15:15see if any match the MO.
15:16No.
15:18Was Byron attacked with a weapon?
15:21No, it doesn't look like it.
15:23Well, in that case,
15:24I would be calling local hospitals,
15:25see if anybody presented with busted knuckles.
15:29Can you hurry up and graduate already?
15:31I need you out here with me.
15:32Yeah, I'm working on it.
15:33Okay.
15:34See ya.
15:34See ya.
15:34See ya.
15:34See ya.
15:36Hey.
15:47Hey.
15:47You doing okay?
15:50Oh, yep.
15:51Just another day in the life of being the daughter of a narcissist.
15:53Okay.
15:57I'm just about to put the kettle on.
15:59Do you want to come over for a cuppa?
16:01Come over for a cuppa.
16:12Hey.
16:14Where's your mum?
16:15I only took her out to get some fresh air.
16:17That's a good idea.
16:19She's had a hard day.
16:20I know the feeling.
16:22Oh, can I get you anything?
16:24Not unless you can think of something
16:26that'll make me stop feeling my face.
16:28What about some ice?
16:30I give it to people giving birth on TV.
16:32Last time I choked, I wasn't in labour.
16:34Exactly.
16:35I mean, a few bruised ribs and a cracked cheekbone.
16:38Yeah.
16:39It's not as bad.
16:41In that case, then, for sure, ice sounds pretty good.
16:44Oh, my God.
16:46Look at you.
16:47You look so hurt.
16:49I knew Max was downplaying it.
16:51Hey, we weren't safe for too long,
16:52so I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
16:54Which you obviously aren't.
16:55Well, it looks like you're all taken care of here,
16:58so I better go.
17:00Thanks for being here.
17:02I wouldn't be anywhere else.
17:06Hey, Hudson. What's up?
17:08Hi.
17:11Your hands look dry.
17:13Do you want me to moisturise them for you?
17:15No, thank you.
17:16Are you feeling any better?
17:23Oh, darling, I don't know that a hot chocolate in the stroller
17:26is going to help me forget that Byron was almost killed today.
17:29At least he's going to be okay.
17:31But is he?
17:32I mean, we still have no idea why any of this happened.
17:35Mum?
17:37I know it may sound paranoid,
17:39but after everything that this family has endured,
17:41I don't think we can take anything for granted.
17:42No, I think it might be right.
17:43Look.
17:47Harvey J?
17:48That can't be a coincidence.
17:51Are you calling Andrew?
17:54No, that's not Byron's phone number.
17:56Then whose is it?
17:58Well, let's find out.
18:00Hello, who is it that I'm speaking to, please?
18:05Well, you need to come down to the community centre right now.
18:11I mean, it's not that I don't know who my mum is.
18:14If I need someone to make me laugh,
18:16she's the best person in the world.
18:19But if I need advice or support or anything real,
18:22I know to go to Dad and Susan.
18:26What did you need yesterday when you reached out?
18:29For mum to prove me wrong.
18:32It's silly, I know.
18:33No.
18:34No, it's not.
18:35I set myself up for failure,
18:37and now I'm sad about it.
18:39You gave Izzy a chance to be a decent mum.
18:43You're allowed to be disappointed that you didn't take it.
18:50I don't know.
18:51When I saw you with your family the other day,
18:54it made me hope that I could have a better relationship
18:56with all my parents, too.
18:57I've only just met Stephen.
19:01I wouldn't say we're best mates just yet.
19:06But I really do hope that Izzy gets her act together.
19:09You deserve better from your mum.
19:11And she's missing out on some great company.
19:13Your glorious wife and mother turned a rocky day
19:18into an absolute win.
19:20Oh, sorry, all.
19:22I assumed you were saved.
19:23Where is she?
19:25Last I checked, she was at the hospital with Byron,
19:28but I thought she would be home by now.
19:30Well, that's pleasing to hear.
19:32Maybe there's a silver lining to this awful situation.
19:34Hmm.
19:35Jane, what's going on?
19:52Well, that is what we would like to know.
19:54Who is Harvey Jay and why does he have Byron's face?
19:58That's Byron's escort alias.
20:00So why is your phone number near posters of my son?
20:08I don't know.
20:10You're clearly involved.
20:11Just tell us what you know.
20:12I don't know what's going on.
20:15I think I do.
20:16Coming up on Neighbours.
20:23Did you end up talking to Nan and Pop about your birth family?
20:25I did.
20:26You didn't tell me.
20:28Is it weird?
20:29Him being your ex but still being his protector?
20:31Excuse you?
20:32Whatever it is, you can wait until tonight.
20:35I just saw you talking to Lydia Hardy.
20:37She's my mum.
20:38I don't know.
20:56There's no mum.
21:01I don't know.
