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?
03:36You go, I'm okay.
03:37What?
03:38What?
03:39What?
03:40What?
03:41What?
03:42What?
03:43What?
03:44What?
03:45What?
03:46What?
03:47What?
03:48What?
03:49What?
03:50What?
03:51What?
03:52What?
03:53What up?
04:15What up?
04:16Hi, everyone.
04:26Okay, for those of you who I have not met yet,
04:29I am Mrs. Rodwell.
04:30I thought Miss Harris was subbing in today.
04:33Oh, well, she's been called away, so you stuck with me.
04:35Cool. Free period with the art teacher.
04:39Yeah, sorry, but I've been left firm instructions
04:42to keep you all on track.
04:44So, who can tell me the range of fx in this equation?
04:52Come on, be brave.
04:54This shouldn't be new to you.
04:59Oh, JJ. Yes, JJ.
05:03The range is x squared plus 9x.
05:15Thanks.
05:15Okay.
05:16Good.
05:18Um, now, I just, hold on.
05:21Okay, where is that?
05:23If you need the answer, Miss, it's on page 366.
05:27Just bear with me.
05:31Hey.
05:33Nice one.
05:33Pick me, girl.
05:34I can't believe that Lydia would do something like that.
05:48I am so sorry that you're stuck in the middle of it.
05:51Oh, it's way worse for Tay.
05:53I just need to keep my head down at the academy,
05:55not give her and her mates any reason to make my life more difficult.
05:58Hey, you know, Lydia Hart is not the only one who knows people in executive command.
06:04If you want, I can pull some strings.
06:08Thank you, but Byron already put in a good word.
06:12You could help me with my next assessment instead.
06:15Deal.
06:16Hey, talking about Byron, I'd better go to the hospital.
06:20Yeah, Remy told me what happened.
06:22I hope he's okay.
06:23Yeah, me too.
06:25You two seem to be in serious mode.
06:28How do you say it's...
06:30Um, you probably should come to the hospital with me.
06:34I'll fill you in on the way.
06:36Um, so I'm sorry if Dex came on a little bit too strong yesterday.
06:40Stop.
06:41Your brother's a total cutie pie.
06:43I just hope I didn't hurt his feelings when I turned him down.
06:46No, he'll be fine.
06:47Oi!
06:49Who slashed my tyre?
06:52You think this is funny, Vulcan Murphy?
06:55A little bit, yeah.
06:56Whoever did that's my new hero.
06:58Well, when I find a hero, I'm gonna...
07:00Archie!
07:01Okay, come with me.
07:02Everyone else, off to class.
07:04I didn't do anything.
07:05Yeah, well, you're not in trouble.
07:06Just come with me and bring your wheel.
07:18Why hasn't anyone been back to speak with us?
07:22Testing takes time, Mum.
07:23It doesn't mean anything.
07:26So, when was the last time all of you saw Byron?
07:30Left the house a couple of hours ago.
07:32Yeah, I think he was walking to the complex.
07:34Uh, no.
07:35He was coming to Harold's.
07:36He met me for my lunch break.
07:38When, how was he?
07:39Normal.
07:40Not nervous, unsettled.
07:42He was totally fine when I saw him.
07:44Just like any other day.
07:47Okay.
07:50Hey.
07:51Andrew will find who did this.
07:54Well, what good is it gonna do?
07:56Byron's already injured.
07:57And he may never recover.
08:00What, why do these bad things keep happening to us?
08:03And why can't I protect any of you?
08:09Jane?
08:18He's got a severe concussion, fracture, cheekbone and bruised ribs.
08:22But the scans show no bleeding or damage on the brain.
08:25Oh, so he's gonna be alright?
08:27With a lot of rest.
08:29Yes.
08:31Hi, Mum.
08:32Oh, I'm Charlie.
08:33I'm here.
08:35Yeah.
08:36I'm here.
08:37We can't catch a break, can we?
08:41Oh.
08:42Hey, Sarge.
08:44Hey, mate.
08:46Do you know why you're here?
08:48Remember you said I had an accident?
08:51I can't remember.
08:53It's just...
08:54It's foggy.
08:56That's right.
08:56Take your time.
08:57Just...
08:58Think it through.
09:03I was at Harold's and this Nick and I was there for a bit.
09:09What happened after that?
09:12Just...
09:13About a walk time.
09:16Okay.
09:17What route did you take?
09:18The green way.
09:19The green way.
09:26And suddenly there was no one near me from behind.
09:30Do you know how many people?
09:33It's just one and they pinned me down.
09:36Did you get a glimpse at them?
09:38Did you get a glimpse at them?
09:40They were wearing a hoodie.
09:44And they just kept hitting me.
09:46I couldn't brush out for myself so hard to...
09:49Mate, it's all right, mate.
09:50It's okay.
09:53Can you think of anyone that would want to do this to you?
09:58Could this have been a random thing?
10:00We're considering all possibilities.
10:04Hey.
10:05I'm gonna let you rest up, mate.
10:06Call me if he remembers anything.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Okay.
10:19Thanks, Andrew.
10:21Yeah, I struggled a bit with the math class,
10:24but I think all the students got it in the end.
10:26All right, well, I'll leave you to it.
10:28Okay, bye.
10:32Oh, hey, you two.
10:33Um, are you gonna be all right with the math homework?
10:35I know we finished before I could go through it properly.
10:38Yeah, lucky for you.
10:41I beg your pardon?
10:42Oh, I was kidding.
10:44The homework's fine.
10:53I always did say your cheekbones were too sharp for your own good.
10:56Seriously.
10:57One little is sold and they crack like glass.
11:01Don't listen to them.
11:02You're prettier than they'll ever be.
11:03Aw.
11:05You can't go in, you know.
11:10There's no visitor limit.
11:12I feel like I shouldn't even be here.
11:15Even as a friend, I was too harsh with him.
11:19Well, you are here, which means you care.
11:23And I do.
11:25I just don't want to give him the wrong idea.
11:29You know, I think a situation like this, it puts into perspective any ill will that Byron might be feeling.
11:36Because despite everything that's been happening, your support will mean the world to him.
11:43Hey, you are here.
12:02I've been the whole time
12:09Saskia's gonna get home before I do
12:11Does she have her own key?
12:12Yeah, but I promised mum I'd look after her and 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 and untie her own shoe lessons
12:23Am I treating her like a baby?
12:25A little bit
12:27I don't mean to
12:28She was just super young when our parents split and I guess I got used to acting like a third parent
12:33Well, maybe you should find a way to enjoy being her brother again
12:37Yeah, like a brother who's there when she gets home from school
12:46What is it?
12:48It's mum
12:50She's on her way to the Maldives. She said she'll call me in a few weeks
12:54Yeah, if she remembers
12:55I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just wish you could see how awful she is to you
13:01But you know stuff her you've got Carl and you hit the step-mum jackpot with Susan
13:10And you've got me
13:12I mean who needs Izzy Whelan when you've got all that?
13:15Not me
13:16Yeah
13:27Hey, McCoy bump into it in the driveway
13:30It won't stay long
13:32Just drop by to give you a little welcome to Erinsborough gift
13:36Here
13:38Seriously, that's so nice
13:42Are they Wendy Originals?
13:43They are
13:45They're so pretty
13:47I thought they might bring you some more confidence at school
13:50Wait, are you having trouble again?
13:52No, I'm not
13:54Saskia is just finding her feet
13:56I know it must be hard being the new kid
13:58But trust me
14:00They're gonna love you once you let them see that Saskia sparkle
14:04Thanks, Mrs. Rudwell
14:06Hey, you can call me Wendy outside school
14:08But I've gotta go
14:10And I'll see you tomorrow
14:12Great
14:15Are you gonna explain all of that?
14:18Oh, I just go stuff
14:20Where is everybody I thought?
14:22Byron and Tay had the day off
14:24Yeah, right
14:26I probably should have texted you
14:29Um
14:31Something happened today
14:33Hey
14:35Hey
14:37Hey, you got any leads on Byron's attacker?
14:40Well, he can't remember any specific details
14:43And he wasn't robbed, which suggests that this could be personal
14:46He doesn't seem like the type to have enemies
14:49Yeah, I totally agree
14:50But there's someone out there angry enough to do this to him
14:54So, how do you proceed?
14:58Tell me what you do next
15:00Oh
15:02Well, I would check the scene
15:05Try and get any footage from CCTV or doorbell cameras
15:08That's a good start
15:10What would you do while you're waiting for the footage to come through?
15:13Maybe look at recent assault reports
15:16See if any match the MO
15:18Was Byron attacked with a weapon?
15:21No, it doesn't look like it
15:23Well, in that case, I would be calling local hospitals
15:25See if anybody presented with busted knuckles
15:29Can you hurry up and graduate already? I need you out here with me
15:32Yeah, I'm working on it
15:34Okay, see ya
15:35Hey
15:49You doing okay?
15:51Oh, yep, just another day in the life of being the daughter of a narcissist
15:54Okay
15:57I'm just about to put the kid on
15:59Do you want to come over for a cuppa?
16:12Hey
16:14Where's your mom?
16:16I only took her out to get some fresh air
16:18That's a good idea
16:19She's had a hard day
16:21I know the feeling
16:23Oh, can I get you anything?
16:25Not unless you can think of something that'll make me stop feeling my face
16:29What about some ice?
16:31I give it to people giving births on TV
16:33Last time I joked I wasn't in labour
16:35Exactly!
16:36I mean a few bruised ribs and a cracked cheekbone
16:39Yeah, it's not as bad
16:41In that case then, for sure, the ice sounds pretty good
16:45Oh my god, look at you
16:47You look so hurt
16:49I knew Max was downplaying it
16:51Hey, we weren't safe for too long, so I just wanted to make sure you were okay
16:55Which you obviously aren't
16:57Well, looks like you're all taken care of here, so I better go
17:01Thanks for being here
17:03I wouldn't be anywhere else
17:07Hey 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
17:20Are you feeling any better?
17:22Oh darling, I don't know that a hot chocolate in the stroll is going to help me forget that Byron was almost killed today
17:30At least he's going to be okay
17:32But is he?
17:33And we still have no idea why any of this happened
17:35Mum?
17:36I know it may sound paranoid, but after everything that this family has endured, I don't think we can take anything for granted
17:43No, I think it might be right, look
17:47Harvey J?
17:48That can't be a coincidence
17:51Are you calling Andrew?
17:52No, that's not Byron's phone number
17:56Well then 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
18:08I mean it's not that I don't know who my mum is
18:14If I need someone to make me laugh, she's the best person in the world
18:19But if I need advice or support or anything real, I know to go to Dad and Susan
18:23What did you need yesterday when you reached out?
18:29For mum to prove me wrong
18:32It's silly, I know
18:34No, no it's not
18:36I set myself up for failure and 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, when I saw you with your family the other day
18:54It made me hope that I could have a better relationship with all my parents too
19:00I've only just met Steven
19:01I wouldn't say we're best mates just yet
19:03But 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
19:14Your glorious wife and mother turned a rocky day into an absolute win
19:20Oh, sorry Holl, I assumed you were Saeed, where is she?
19:25Last I checked she was at the hospital with Byron, but I thought she would be home by now
19:30Well that's pleasing to hear
19:33Maybe there's a silver lining to this awful situation
19:49Um, Jane what's going on?
19:52Well that is what we would like to know
19:54Who is Harvey J and why does he have Byron's face?
19:57That's Byron's escort alias
20:01So why is your phone number near posters of my son?
20:07I don't know
20:09You're clearly involved, just tell us what you know
20:12I don't know what's going on
20:14I think I do
20:15I think I do
20:22Coming 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?
20:32Excuse you?
20:33Whatever it is you can wait until tonight
20:35I just saw you talking to Lydia Hardy
20:37Lydia Hardy?
20:38She's my mom
