00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I didn't want you to make a decision you would regret.
00:04I'm sorry again for lying to you, Carl.
00:06I've already sent my resignation letter to Therese.
00:09You have to respect it.
00:10I'm the one that's costing the thing
00:12that he cares about the most.
00:14Oh my god.
00:15We better wash this.
00:16Sorry.
00:18You screwed up.
00:19I know that you're good at your job
00:20and I know it wasn't malicious.
00:21If it wasn't for you, none of this would have happened.
00:26I need to go to the toilet.
00:30Neighbours.
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:37With a little understanding.
00:42You can find the perfect plan.
00:48Neighbours should be there for one another.
00:55That's when good neighbours.
00:58Neighbours need good friends.
01:03There you are, tell me everything, your first Brook family bash, was it amazing, did Stephen
01:24just show you off like a brand new puppy?
01:27Not exactly, but hey he was really happy to have me there.
01:31And how were the photos?
01:32Did you get them printed out okay?
01:33Yeah, yeah, everyone loved them.
01:36Oh that's fantastic, you know you got back so late I was beginning to wonder if I'd lost
01:41you.
01:42I mustn't have wanted to leave.
02:01Hey.
02:02Oh hello, how was your day?
02:06You and Max have a good time?
02:08Change of plans, he had to hang with Sass so I made my own fun.
02:11Okay.
02:12Why aren't you tucked up in bed?
02:13Oh well Susan's on a girls night out so I thought I'd treat myself.
02:16Fair enough.
02:17Can I get you something?
02:18Yeah.
02:19Oh hi.
02:20Hi.
02:21That was a trip.
02:22Um well the wedding was amazing.
02:24Shame you couldn't go on to New York with Paul.
02:26Well sadly Judy calls here.
02:29There's a certain doctor that needs replacing.
02:32You got my letter.
02:33I did.
02:34Come on Carl, please tell me that I can talk you out of leaving.
02:40Let's go.
02:41Oh no.
02:42Home sweet home.
02:43Are you ready for the catch?
02:44Ready?
02:45Three, two, one.
02:46Captain Abigail ready for touchdown.
02:47Woo!
02:48Touchdown!
02:49Oh actually something I forgot.
02:50What'd you forget?
02:51Well we're newlyweds so.
02:52Yes.
02:53Oh.
02:54Oh my gosh.
02:55Oh my gosh.
02:56What?
02:57Touchdown!
02:58Oh.
02:59Touchdown!
03:00Oh!
03:01Oh my gosh.
03:02What?
03:03Touchdown!
03:04Oh, I know sweetheart.
03:05It's a long flight hey.
03:07Oh, dad's already sending holiday pics.
03:09Is he?
03:10Oh my gosh.
03:11I know sweetheart.
03:12It's a long flight hey.
03:15Dad's already sending holiday pics.
03:18Is he?
03:19I know, sweetheart.
03:21Dad's already sending holiday pics.
03:23Is he? He was very excited to go to New York.
03:26Yeah, well, he's pretty hyped about Andrew and Tash having a baby.
03:29I can see why he went to spend time with them before the baby arrived.
03:32Yeah. It's really nice to be home.
03:35I just love what they've done with the place. I mean, the team nailed the brief. It's perfect.
03:40Yeah, well, it's definitely more us now.
03:42Yeah. Hmm.
03:44You know, this is exactly how I imagined us kicking off married life.
03:51All right, Captain Abby, why don't we take this plane and land it in bed, eh?
03:58You seem a little bit tired. I'm ready for bed, darling.
04:00No, no, come on. It's already dark outside, all right?
04:03Goodnight, guys. Come on!
04:15Hey, can I run something by you all?
04:18It's Sadie's 21st birthday this week and I brought her this bracelet before we broke up.
04:23Should I still give it to her?
04:24That's a tough one.
04:26Yeah, it's this really nice piece from this boutique jeweller that she's absolutely obsessed with.
04:30I don't know, giving her jewellery might seem a bit too...
04:33Romantic. I know. And I don't want her to think that I'm not listening to her.
04:38But at the same time, you know, I think she'd love it and be sad not to give it to her.
04:45I think you should follow your instincts. You'll know what to do.
04:49Yeah, well, I'll keep thinking on it.
04:53Thanks for dinner.
04:54Bye, brother.
04:55Bye.
04:57Hey.
04:58Hey.
04:59Bye.
05:00Um, please just let me be a big brother and say this last thing.
05:04I think Dex is a good one.
05:06I think you are too.
05:07And I wouldn't be surprised if this first date is a hit.
05:11But I know you said you don't want anything to get in the way of school.
05:13So, if it does go well, then just don't lose sight of what's important to you.
05:18I won't.
05:19Promise.
05:20You're a good one too, Maxine.
05:22No.
05:23Oh, taxi.
05:27I hope all this Dex talk isn't making you jealous.
05:32Uh, speaking of studying, I might try to squeeze him in before bed.
05:36Mm-hmm.
05:37Night.
05:38Night.
05:44Hey, can we talk about Saskia?
05:46I really deserve someone who can give the job their full commitment.
05:49You understand?
05:50No, look, I really do.
05:51I just think it's a shame that Darcy's taken that away from you.
05:53What?
05:54It's, it's time.
05:55That's all.
05:56I mean, I thought I had the perfect successor for you, but I was misinformed.
06:01Well, would that explain why I'm getting emails about when Remy's studying?
06:04Yeah, that's, that's my fault.
06:06Um, short version is I thought I could buy Carl some thinking time, but it all went awry.
06:11Um, I really am very sorry.
06:14I thought I'd, uh, walk you home if you're ready.
06:17Hmm.
06:18So, uh, what's next?
06:20You're gonna hang up your stethoscope, turn the greenhouse into a recording studio?
06:24Oh, now that's an idea.
06:25Mm.
06:26Now, I've just heard about this part-time senior advisory role in the council.
06:30Senior advisory role?
06:31Like Mackenzie's old role?
06:32Oh, in a way.
06:33Yeah, I think they want someone who can bring more worldly experience to the table.
06:37Right, so, um, to a senior's advisor?
06:41Well, that's the official wording, yes.
06:44You haven't mentioned this?
06:46Oh, I only put the application in tonight.
06:48You've applied already?
06:50Yeah.
06:51Hey, Sas.
06:52Hey.
06:53We need a talk.
06:54I told Max about how you've been acting around me.
07:12What?
07:13What do you mean?
07:14Saskia, the inappropriate flirting.
07:16What?
07:17No, I've...
07:18I've been nice to you because you're Max's friend and because you're her.
07:22If you thought different, that's on you.
07:25Sas, I don't think Byron read this wrong.
07:28Well, then he made it up.
07:30I'm sorry, but he has no reason to do that.
07:32I trust Byron.
07:33He said he made the boundary pretty clear and you kept crossing it.
07:36It's just...
07:37It's not okay.
07:38Sas, and it's not you.
07:39I...
07:40Why'd you do it?
07:42It won't happen again.
08:00Oh, hi, my love.
08:01We're just going over some deets for Sadie's big bash.
08:04Hey, Wendy, leave the playlist to me.
08:06I'll go through all of Sadie's music history and pick out her faves.
08:09Even the guilty pleasures she keeps secret.
08:12See, this is why planning must involve the best friend.
08:16I actually have to get ready for work, but can you keep me posted?
08:19Mm-hmm.
08:31Hey.
08:32Hey.
08:33So why'd you ghost me last night?
08:38I think you know.
08:43Us...
08:44Hanging out.
08:48It's inappropriate.
08:50What?
08:51Because our...
08:52Our legs touched?
08:55Seriously, Andrew, that's hardly a crime.
08:57And if it was, I'd be locked up because I do stuff like that with my friends all the time.
09:04Seriously, it's not a big deal unless we make it one.
09:08Look.
09:10I really appreciate all the help that you've given me.
09:14I really do, Holly.
09:19But this doesn't feel right.
09:20I've got to call it.
09:28Thanks for trusting me on this.
09:29I know it's a difficult situation.
09:31Yeah, dude, you're the one in the tough spot.
09:33God, Saskia must have made you feel so uncomfortable.
09:36It was awkward, but I was more worried about you and her.
09:39Oh, man, you're a good egg.
09:42It's so wild how out of character this is.
09:44Like, I just don't know how she can't see this as wrong.
09:48I just don't think she thought it through.
09:50Felt like one of those impulsive teenager things.
09:53Too young to know better.
09:54Yeah.
09:56When it comes to school, Saskia's always ahead of the game,
09:58but with relationships there's still a lot she doesn't get.
10:02Well, she's a fast learner, right?
10:05Yeah.
10:06Hopefully this is just a once-off mistake.
10:10Hey, one more thing about the party.
10:12I wanted to check in with Sadie if she was okay
10:14with me inviting Gretchen and Stephen.
10:17What do you reckon?
10:18Yes!
10:19Yes!
10:20In the sky, in fireworks.
10:22I was so bummed when I didn't get to meet Stephen
10:25and, well, I want to clear the air with Gretchen,
10:28but the main thing is I love this for you.
10:34Well, I'd better get to class,
10:35otherwise I'll be late
10:36and I'll have to give myself detention.
10:39We don't want that, do we?
10:40No.
10:43Which means you're going to have to give me my hand back.
10:46Well, I've got a deal for you.
10:47I will surrender your hand and save you from detention
10:50if you go to lunch with me.
10:53Oh, tough negotiator.
10:56Of course.
10:57Okay.
10:58See you later. Bye.
10:59Hey.
11:00Hey.
11:01Got your text.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Good on you for speaking to Saskia.
11:06I hope you're not beating yourself up about it.
11:08Yeah, it, er, it wasn't a nice conversation to have.
11:12Yeah, it, er, it wasn't a nice conversation to have.
11:16Yeah.
11:17Good on you for speaking to Saskia.
11:20I hope you're not beating yourself up about it.
11:22I hope you're not beating yourself up about it.
11:24Yeah, it, er, it wasn't a nice conversation to have.
11:29Sorry, I promise I'll perk up and not be sad Max all day.
11:33Yeah, it's okay.
11:34If you need to be sad Max, go for it.
11:36I mean, you and Saskia are so close,
11:38of course, those things can throw you off.
11:40Yeah, I just, I can't believe how well she hit it.
11:43I just don't normally keep things from each other like that.
11:46Well, don't take it personally.
11:48I mean, sometimes you do something,
11:51and you don't want to admit that it was a bit wrong,
11:54so keeping it on the down low is the only way.
11:56Mm.
11:57But it doesn't mean that you don't feel bad about it.
12:02I think that was probably her headspace.
12:06I should reach out and offer to hang out.
12:08I just don't want her to feel any worse.
12:17What was that for?
12:19Just you being you?
12:21A sad Max doesn't stand a chance around Holly.
12:24Whatever you need, I'm all yours.
12:26Do you want to do something fun?
12:27Go on a shopping frenzy?
12:29Have a, have a fancy lunch?
12:31I don't need anything fancy.
12:32Just you.
12:33Oh, okay.
12:34What a neg.
12:35I don't need anything nice.
12:36No.
12:37No, I didn't mean it like that.
12:38Oh, no, it's okay.
12:39Don't sell yourself short.
12:40Go find someone fancy then.
12:41You are very fancy.
12:42Way fancier than me.
12:43I'm not worthy of you and all your fanciness.
12:52Well, I have heard nothing but good things about yesterday.
12:55Sounds like it was a triumph.
12:56Chalk it up to the students' creativity.
12:59No.
13:00I think it was thanks to you.
13:03I can't tell you how much that means to hear Jane.
13:06Hm.
13:07I'm gonna keep up the good work.
13:08Thanks.
13:09Hey, what's happened?
13:32You can pretend you didn't see me.
13:34No, never.
13:35Hi.
13:36Oh, hey.
13:37Hey.
13:38Welcome.
13:39Oh, hey.
13:40Oh, wow.
13:41I love what you've done to the place.
13:46It's very, uh, Tanaka.
13:48Come on in.
13:49Cleb, what have you done with your face?
13:52You look like you've had more sun than us.
13:55Yep.
13:56Okay, I know.
13:57Kick Nick.
13:58Everyone's had a turn.
13:59Yeah, because you would be so sensitive if it was one of us.
14:04Do we all know that Aaron has a new boyfriend?
14:07What?
14:08Uh, who?
14:09Rhett.
14:10No way.
14:11Oh, pointless love first for the win.
14:13You know Colton's going back to Queensland.
14:16Yeah, yeah.
14:17It wasn't easy letting him down.
14:19But I know I'm with the right guy.
14:21Uh, I'm assuming that Abby is in bed having a sleep, not back in Paris having a home alone
14:28moment.
14:29No, her body clock's all upside down so I've given her extra screen time with Bluey.
14:34Oh.
14:35Do you want us to try and coax her into a nap?
14:37Oh, yeah.
14:38Please.
14:39We know some tricks, don't we?
14:40We all do, obviously.
14:41You're gonna tell Leo at some point, right?
14:46Yeah.
14:47Of course.
14:48I just want to be sure first.
14:50First time I felt like Max wasn't on my side.
15:00I thought Byron was a nice guy but he was so harsh.
15:05I'm sorry if I'm putting you in a weird position.
15:11I'm probably super close to Byron because of Sadie.
15:14No, it's alright.
15:15I didn't cross a line with him.
15:20I mean, nothing actually happened.
15:22Yeah, I know.
15:23I shouldn't be this upset, should I?
15:27Saskia, you heard two people that you look up to talking about you and it's hurt your feelings.
15:36I mean, I think it would be really strange if you weren't upset.
15:41I'm glad that you're being so honest about it.
15:45I got a choice.
15:47You caught me bawling my eyes out.
15:49Well, you could have shut me out.
15:51Instead, you opened up about a mistake you made and you're getting support.
15:56Those are very good choices.
16:02Thanks.
16:03I actually feel like you're on my side.
16:06That's because I am.
16:09Well, thank you, Colton.
16:14You've done so much for Irene in such a short time.
16:19You won't be forgotten.
16:20Well, after giving the people nude yoga and Barry Munlow tribute, I would hope not.
16:25Thanks.
16:26See ya.
16:27Hey.
16:28Hi.
16:29Ah, morning.
16:30Morning.
16:31Yeah, just, um, yeah.
16:34Right.
16:35Hits keep coming.
16:37I just need to pick up my things and I'm hopefully going to get you to write me a reference letter.
16:43Oh, for the senior's advisor role?
16:44Yeah.
16:45I think I can arrange that.
16:48And my interview's in two days.
16:49Oh, wow.
16:50That was quick.
16:51Yeah, that's what I said.
16:52And I know I'm a broken record when it comes to rushing into things.
16:55I guess they saw my application and knew I'd be a good fit.
16:58Yeah?
16:59I'm just so lucky that a community-focused job like this has come up at exactly the right
17:02time.
17:03Hmm.
17:04Listen, have you told the residents I'm officially leaving yet?
17:07And I know there's been chatter.
17:08It's...
17:09No, no, no.
17:10Do you mind if I tell them myself?
17:12I just think with all the confusion over Remy, it is help.
17:17I hope you're prepared.
17:19The residents are going to be so sad to see you go.
17:22Hmm.
17:23Yes, I mean, they won't be the only ones.
17:25Carl, you've been so generous and supportive with all the staff.
17:28You'll be sorely missed.
17:30Hmm.
17:31Well, we've gone from the three musketeers down to the two.
17:36Shall we, uh, snag your couch?
17:46Yeah!
17:49Hey!
17:50Hey!
17:51Oh, Hol, I was thinking about your playlist for the party.
17:54I had an idea.
17:55How do you feel about hiring a karaoke machine?
17:58Oh, that's a huge vibe.
18:00And we wouldn't have to worry about noise complaints with this guy on side.
18:03Mm-hmm.
18:04Yes.
18:05Yeah, yeah.
18:06Um, she's a menace on the mic, so I think we should probably hire a karaoke bar in the city.
18:12It's for the greater good.
18:13Oh, okay.
18:14Well, I'm going to be sorry to miss out, but I bow to your judgement.
18:18Hey, shall we?
18:19Oh!
18:20Oh, okay.
18:21Bye.
18:22Um, so how are things getting on with Gretchen and Stephen?
18:25Are you onto them yet?
18:26Yeah, I, uh, I did get onto them, and they really came.
18:30I ran it past Sadie too, and she's all for it.
18:33Oh, I'm so glad you get a chance to bring both your families together.
18:37You deserve this.
18:39Now, what's to eat?
18:40Oh, that looks good.
18:41Should we get that one?
18:42Or maybe...
18:44All right.
18:45Anti-jet lag medicine is ready when you are, babe.
18:47I'll be adding a set.
18:48Cool.
18:49Cool.
18:50Okay.
18:51Okay.
18:52Hit me with your best shot.
18:54When were you going to tell me about this?
19:00I haven't done it yet.
19:01I was going to wait to be sure before telling you.
19:05Okay, hit me with your best shot.
19:13When were you going to tell me about this?
19:16I haven't done it yet.
19:18I was going to wait to be sure before telling you.
19:22This is amazing.
19:24I mean, even the possibility you might be...
19:30The fact we're back on track now and we're all settled in here,
19:34the timing can be more perfect.
19:38Why haven't you done it yet?
19:41I don't know. I guess I'm scared.
19:47Then it might be negative.
19:51Whatever the result is, we're in this together, okay?
19:57Okay.
19:59Hey, did you decide what you want to do with the bracelet?
20:04I decided to return it.
20:06It's a great present as a boyfriend, but as a friend, not so much.
20:10I think that's a right move.
20:15You don't agree?
20:17I'm just sad.
20:20Your relationship with Sadie was the one stable thing in your life,
20:23and now it's over.
20:25Because you dabbled with the idea of pursuing law again,
20:28but showed no commitment.
20:30You're still living in that share house like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.
20:34Easy, Mum. He's had a bit going on.
20:36I know, I know.
20:37But maybe you should use this downtime to try and find some direction in your life,
20:43to make some real plans.
20:48Hey, I might...
20:52Poulter.
20:53Hey.
20:55Hey.
20:56When are you heading off?
20:58This is it.
20:59Oh.
21:00Um.
21:01Well, I guess I'm gonna miss seeing you around.
21:04Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for what you did with Brett.
21:09When I came to Melbourne, I really hoped something would happen for us.
21:14Yeah.
21:15Hey, I was genuinely open to it.
21:18I guess the best man won.
21:21But I do hope there's some alternate reality where you pick me.
21:29Yeah.
21:39So?
21:40I dropped the test in the toilet.
21:42Sorry.
21:44Oh, um.
21:45That's okay.
21:46I'll just...
21:47I'll go buy another one.
21:48Oh, uh.
21:49Yeah.
21:50Oh, hey.
21:51Hey.
21:52Is this spare time?
21:53Uh, depends who you're looking for.
21:55Leo's going out to get us a pregnancy test.
21:58Wow.
21:59I mean, that's huge.
22:00Yeah, I know, right?
22:04I was, um, I was just coming to check in on you, see how you're going.
22:08I thought you were gonna hold off with him a little longer.
22:10I was, but he found the test in my bag.
22:12Oh.
22:13Yep.
22:14I tried to buy a bit more time, so I dropped it in the toilet.
22:18It's gonna sound terrible, but Leo being this excited, this is exactly what I was afraid of.
22:23Listen, everything you're feeling is completely valid.
22:27I mean, it's so complicated, given you history.
22:32He is so happy.
22:34And I don't know if I'm ready to have another baby yet.
22:39I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope the test is negative.
22:44Coming up on Navas.
22:47I wanted to personally invite you to my 21st this week.
22:51Has Saskia said anything about this date to you?
22:54I swear, I really like it.
22:57I really hope you're telling the truth.
22:59So?
23:00So.
