00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Let's go to Sandy Point.
00:03You were furious when I contacted Gretchen,
00:06and then Holly does the same thing,
00:08and she's the hero?
00:10We've been talking about me all day.
00:11I want to hear all about you.
00:13You can't make lunch tomorrow.
00:14I want to meet Stephen and the rest of the family so badly.
00:17You want to have a committed relationship,
00:19and you are choosing to do that with me.
00:21I am.
00:22I'm really going to miss you.
00:24You're a pathetic old man.
00:26We were expecting our 82nd,000th customer
00:30and planning a big celebration.
00:31Carl is using this to avoid the reality
00:33of thinking about life after Irene.
00:36But once he does, he'll change his mind.
00:38Is that so?
00:42Neighbours
00:43Everybody needs good neighbours
00:47With a little understanding
00:51You can find the perfect place
00:56Neighbours
01:00Should be there for one another
01:04That's when good neighbours
01:08Be friends
01:10I was just trying to help you.
01:17By going by my back?
01:19After everything we went through with Darcy.
01:22Remy, I cannot believe that you deceived me.
01:25I'm sorry, Carl.
01:26No, no, no.
01:27Please don't blame her.
01:28This is all me.
01:29Remy was a very reluctant participant.
01:32You still had a choice.
01:33Stacking kitchen pies.
01:36Yes!
01:39Who's the winner?
01:40You both ordered at the same time.
01:41I started saying my order first.
01:44I definitely completed my order first.
01:46That's what counts.
01:47Says who?
01:48You don't make the rules around him.
01:50Neither do I make.
01:51Oh, thank you.
01:52Oh, no, you don't.
01:53No, no, it's fine.
01:54It's mine.
01:54She gave it to me.
01:55It's mine.
01:55She gave it to me.
01:57It's Zito, let it burn.
01:59I am number 82.
02:01I have got the pie.
02:04Carl?
02:05Well, what do you think?
02:17Nice crop up, okay?
02:18You look great.
02:20Now, I've left a USB with a nice selection of family photos on my desk.
02:26All you need to do is print them out and put them in the album.
02:30Where's the album?
02:31Under the USB.
02:33Oh, yes.
02:34And I've got some snacks for the drive in the fridge.
02:38You are amazing.
02:40You don't need to tell me.
02:43I really do wish that I could be there with you.
02:47Hey, don't worry about it.
02:49It's a big one for the students.
02:51I get it.
02:52Well, I promise that I'm going to be at that next family event.
02:57I have to skedaddle.
02:58Oh, I'll send you photos.
03:03Yes, please.
03:04And have a lovely time.
03:07Tell Stephen I cannot wait to meet him.
03:10Will do.
03:11Bye.
03:11Bye.
03:12Can I please explain?
03:23No, can you?
03:26Look, I swear what you saw between me and Colton wasn't what it looked like, alright?
03:30I was just letting him know.
03:31Come on, Aaron.
03:32I didn't know he was going to kiss me.
03:36Can you please just believe me?
03:37I want to be with you.
03:39If I hadn't have given you an ultimatum, you'd still be flitting between me and Colton, wouldn't you?
03:43No.
03:43I just don't think you're ready for this.
03:59Hey, I'll...
04:00Is Sadie in?
04:03Uh, no.
04:04No, I actually don't know where she is.
04:08You okay?
04:10Yeah.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Uh, Wendy just put a bunch of family photos on this USB for me to take today.
04:17I just went to the printers and all the files are corrupted.
04:21Do you have other copies?
04:23Yeah, they're on the computer, but all those files are corrupted too.
04:25So, I don't really know what's going on.
04:28And I need to leave soon.
04:29Well, I'm sure Stephen will understand.
04:30You can take them another time.
04:32No, I really need to bring something today.
04:35He went to so much effort to send me that package.
04:38I just want to show him my care as much as he does.
04:39How long do we have to wait?
04:44I know.
04:44Where's Carl?
04:46Uh, uh, well...
04:47I'm happy to declare you joint winners.
04:51Well, what's that supposed to mean?
04:53We've got to share pie for 82 weeks.
04:55Is Carl going to cut it in half?
04:56No, no, no.
05:00Rest assured that, um, you will each receive a free pie every week.
05:08Same time, same place.
05:10Next week, Esposito.
05:12Head to date, Ms. Puff.
05:13Any luck?
05:15No.
05:16And he's still not answering his phone.
05:17Hmm.
05:18Shame he wasn't here to see his big promotion play out.
05:21Even though his eyes would water at me giving away twice as many pies.
05:25No, well, yeah.
05:27You okay?
05:28Oh, I just...
05:29I don't like the idea of him being on his own right now.
05:33Go on, you go.
05:34I'll look up to things here.
05:36Are you sure?
05:37Yes, absolutely.
05:38Go.
05:38Go.
05:40Well, these are great photos.
05:43Just take these.
05:46These are the only copies.
05:47That's why Wendy scanned them.
05:49I don't have time to redo them.
05:51Our scanner's too slow.
05:55Okay.
05:56Don't worry.
05:57I've got this.
05:57Just stay here.
05:58Dad.
06:12What are you doing home?
06:13Shouldn't you beat the track?
06:15The promotion's finished.
06:18I'm just going to print off some photos.
06:20I promise I'll replace the paper and the toner.
06:22Go for it.
06:23Are you okay?
06:24Oh, there you are.
06:28There is nothing you can say to excuse your behaviour.
06:32Carl, I am so sorry that I went behind your back,
06:35but I was trying to protect you.
06:36Actually, I'm going to leave you guys to it.
06:38I didn't want you to make a decision you would regret.
06:40I wanted to give you more time.
06:41I'm not going to regret it.
06:42I am done with medicine.
06:44Why can't you accept that?
06:45Because I know you.
06:46Because I know that being a doctor is your passion.
06:49And because I know that right now,
06:51you are not in the best frame and quality.
06:52You know my interests better than me.
06:53At this point in time, I think I do.
06:58Oh, Carl, please.
06:59No!
07:01This conversation is over.
07:02You can't change my mind.
07:07It's a minor miracle that the hotel reception printer
07:10wasn't out of coloured ink.
07:12Thank you, Lassiters.
07:13And thank you so much for getting this done so quickly.
07:17I told you we could.
07:18Just maybe don't ask how.
07:22I'm off duty.
07:22How old are you there?
07:30Uh, about 16.
07:32Oh, cute.
07:36Well, thank you so much for saving my skin again.
07:39Uh, I think I can make my lunch, just.
07:42Oh, well, don't speed.
07:43I'd hate for you to get a ticket.
07:45I might have to bring out the sirens.
07:46Honestly, if I had access to sirens.
07:48I have no doubt that you'd abuse it.
07:51So, what's on for you for the rest of the day?
07:53Um, avoiding home as long as possible
07:55and then I've got a date with Max in the city tonight.
07:57Oh, nice.
07:58Yeah.
08:00I hope you have a really good time.
08:01I hope you have a really good time.
08:01I hope you have a really good time.
08:02You want to talk about it?
08:21I have really messed things up.
08:24I'm sorry, but I've got the wrong idea before.
08:27I just wanted to say goodbye.
08:29No, Colton, it's not your fault.
08:32You really care about him, don't you?
08:36Yeah, but something always happens to get in the way,
08:39and it's mostly me.
08:42When we first met, I was so deep in my grief,
08:46and I had just come out of this really messy rebound,
08:49and, like, Rip wasn't even single.
08:54I am so sorry.
08:55I shouldn't be dumping this all on you.
08:57It's fine. I asked.
08:58I think part of the reason I struggled letting Rip in
09:05and I strung you both along was guilt.
09:10Guilt?
09:11Yeah, like, I just had this sense that
09:14Rip was someone that I could actually build a life with.
09:17That felt like betrayal at the start.
09:22Anyone that cares about you would want that for you.
09:25I do.
09:29I reckon David would too.
09:34You know, the closer I get with Rhett,
09:38the more it feels like
09:40we could have had something special.
09:42Remy, hi.
10:02Hi.
10:03Oh, wrapped up?
10:04Yeah, it was a huge success.
10:07There was tons of foot traffic,
10:09and the staff said it was a record-breaking day for sales.
10:11Did you hear that, Carl?
10:13You broke your sales record.
10:14Yeah, and the tram splashed all over the homepage
10:17of the West Warratah Star.
10:20Thanks for holding the fort.
10:22Yeah, it was fun.
10:26I'm sorry again for lying to you, Carl.
10:30When Susan pitched the idea of buying you
10:32a little more time while you made your decision,
10:33it seemed right.
10:36For what it's worth,
10:37I think quitting Irini is a terrible idea.
10:41Well, thank you for your unsolicited opinion.
10:46I remember how passionate you were
10:48when you took on the role.
10:51Wanting to make a positive impact
10:52on the residents' lives.
10:54And you know what?
10:56You've done that.
10:58Moira spent half the tour telling me
11:00how much you helped them.
11:02Doesn't that make you feel good?
11:06Carl, you're the heart of that community.
11:09They admire you, and they need you.
11:12You can't just throw it all away.
11:21I've made my decision.
11:23I've made my decision.
11:23It's a letter of resignation.
11:39Hey, Max, where are you?
12:03Oh.
12:05No, right, I get it.
12:06You can't turn that down.
12:08No, I'm fine.
12:11I'll just, um,
12:13I'm going to kill some more time here.
12:14I'm not really in a rush to go home
12:16with that and Susie and I'm fighting.
12:20Okay, we'll have fun with sass.
12:21All of anticipation.
12:38You're my beautiful world.
13:13It was my fault completely.
13:23I caught Aaron off guard.
13:25Honestly, I don't know what to think anymore.
13:26This whole thing's been a mess.
13:28Stop thinking.
13:30He picked you.
13:32Aaron?
13:35I'll leave you to it.
13:36Well, he is a great guy.
13:45Yeah, he is.
13:49I'm really sorry.
13:51I never meant to hurt you.
13:53And it wasn't my intention to mess you around or make you feel insecure.
13:57I mean, if you thought this could be something real, then why did it take you so long to say so?
14:03I guess I just didn't want to admit to myself that I had feelings for someone else after David.
14:08And, I mean, the thought of me putting it all on the line and then maybe you didn't feel the same way.
14:14It was just...
14:14Okay, okay, okay.
14:15Well, it's okay, because I do.
14:27Tell me everything.
14:29No, I will, I will.
14:30But first, have you got any updates on your dad and Susie?
14:33Not really.
14:36But, I have been thinking Susie were going behind Dad's back.
14:41She wouldn't do it unless she was really worried about him leaving Irene.
14:44No, of course.
14:46He loves it there.
14:47Yeah.
14:48I mean, he's not thinking straight.
14:49Like, I understand what he's going through.
14:51Trauma really messes with your head.
14:52You can lose perspective.
14:55You mean, what happened to you after he?
14:58Yeah.
15:00And the others.
15:03I don't know, I just think he's kidding himself if he thinks that devoting himself to the tram's going to cut it.
15:08I mean, he loves being a doctor.
15:10I just hope he doesn't remember it too late.
15:13I mean, the kind of serious trauma that your dad went through takes a while to get over.
15:17I don't know.
15:20The only thing that you and Susan can really do is just be there for it.
15:24Until the storm passes.
15:29Anyway, you've heard enough of my problems to last a while after that.
15:32Never.
15:33This is supposed to be a celebration.
15:35I want to hear all about your day.
15:37Well, the sirens did in fact get a bit of a workout.
15:42Made for an interesting arrival.
15:44You're lying.
15:46Yeah, I am.
15:46Hi.
16:00Hey.
16:04Carl, could we please just sit down and weigh up the pros and cons of your resign?
16:13I've already sent my resignation letter to Therese.
16:23I can't believe that you would do that without talking to me about it first.
16:28Well, we have talked numerous times.
16:29You just haven't been listening.
16:30Of course I have.
16:31No, no, you haven't really been listening.
16:34Because you're not interested in how I feel.
16:36Because you've convinced yourself you know what's best for me.
16:38Everything that I've done with Remy was to protect you during a very volatile time.
16:44Imagine the shoe was on the other foot.
16:45I was telling you how to think and run your professional life.
16:48Would you like that?
16:50No.
16:51No, I wouldn't.
16:52But I also know how hard it was for me when I left Erinsborough High.
16:56But you worked through that.
16:57You started a new chapter at Irini.
16:58That's all I'm trying to do.
16:59But you're doing it because of Darcy.
17:01It's the wrong reason.
17:02According to you.
17:04According to reality.
17:10I told you that what Darcy did has changed me.
17:13Carl, medicine's been your life's work.
17:20It's what you always come back to.
17:23Have you thought about who you'll be if you're not Dr. Carl Kennedy?
17:29All the other things I mean as well.
17:33I don't know what life after medicine looks like.
17:36But it's my decision.
17:38You have to respect it.
17:43I'm thinking of inviting Stephen and Gretchen to Saturday's 21st.
17:59If she's up for it.
17:59That's awesome.
18:00They can get the full Ramsey Street experience.
18:02Exactly.
18:03Maybe Carl can come with his guitar.
18:06Lift your spirits.
18:07Okay.
18:07As official party support crew, I am vetoing that.
18:10Yeah.
18:10I'm really happy for you that everything's working out.
18:15You deserve it.
18:17Thanks, Holly.
18:20If it wasn't for you, none of this would have happened.
18:23Thanks for being such a great listener.
18:25After all of my offloading about Mum and Dad and Susan,
18:29you deserve some kind of public service award.
18:32After you save you from Phil.
18:34Finding out more information about Stephen,
18:37save the day again today.
18:38Listening is not a big deal.
18:43Well, it is to me.
18:46And you're really great at it.
18:49What about Max?
18:51Is he a good listener?
18:54He tries his best.
18:56But I don't think he really gets it on the same level.
18:59It comes from a really good place,
19:01but he's not the best at understanding what I need emotionally.
19:05He's great in so many other ways, though.
19:09Well, if he knows what's good for him,
19:10you should pick up his listening game.
19:13He's lucky to have you.
19:14Um, I need to go to the toilet.
19:36Just a little something to apologise for dragging you into the Carl Irene debacle.
19:50Any progress?
19:52Yeah.
19:53Carl has sent his letter of resignation to Therese.
19:57Can you just open this now?
20:02Please.
20:03Yoo-hoo!
20:05Hi.
20:06But I suppose you want some extra company.
20:10Andrew's not back from his family, do,
20:12and I feel like a bit of a loose end.
20:14Oh, yeah.
20:15Come on in.
20:15Come on in.
20:16Sit down.
20:17Tell me, how was the art exhibition?
20:19Oh, Susan, it was great.
20:22But I couldn't stop thinking about Andrew and how his day was going.
20:26Oh, well, it must be good if he's not back yet.
20:30So, what are we celebrating?
20:33Carl quitting Irene.
20:35Oh, no.
20:36Why?
20:38Because of Darcy.
20:40Because of me.
20:42Hey, it is not your fault.
20:43Well, maybe not directly,
20:44but if I'd taken his concerns about Darcy more seriously,
20:48maybe this would have ended differently.
20:50Or it could have gone exactly the same.
20:51I still feel like
20:53I'm the one that's cost him the thing that he cares about the most.
20:58Susan.
21:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
21:02Yeah, me too.
21:03It's just unfair.
21:07Thank you both.
21:10You know, they say you don't work with your spouse,
21:12but honestly, aside from a few teething problems,
21:15it's been wonderful.
21:17We supported each other.
21:19We got to work on something
21:22that we both cared so deeply about.
21:28Now it's gone.
21:29All right.
21:55Bye.
21:56Bye.
21:57Bye.
21:57Bye.
21:57Bye.
21:58Bye.
21:59Coming up on Neighbours.
22:07I told Max about how you've been acting around me.
22:10What do you mean?
22:11I've just heard about this part-time senior advisement role for the council.
22:16So why'd you ghost me last night?
22:18I think you know.
22:19You've got to tell Leo at some point, right?
22:21I want to be sure first.
