00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02This is to show my support for your next chapter.
00:05We're just going over some deets for Sadie's Big Bash.
00:08Seriously, it's not a big deal unless we make it one.
00:10We've got to call it.
00:11I am so happy what Gretchen said wasn't true.
00:14I wanted to check in with Sadie if she was okay with me inviting Gretchen and Stephen.
00:18No, this is me going on a date.
00:20Out of the blue, we just made up this pathetic excuse to leave.
00:23Jane, that's Gavin Bowman.
00:25He's the one that poisoned the wine at the Irene bought.
00:28And he kidnapped Holly.
00:30Neighbours.
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:37With a little understanding.
00:42You can find the perfect plan.
00:48Neighbours.
00:51Should be there for one another.
00:55That's when good neighbours became good friends.
01:05I thought there was something familiar about him, but with the nerves of the date I just didn't put two and two together.
01:13Well, suddenly I'm very grateful he walked out on you.
01:16Only now I've re-engaged with him.
01:19Can you take back a message?
01:20Oh, show me.
01:21I mean this might work if he hasn't already read it.
01:24Oh, please, please, please.
01:26My skin is crawling.
01:28Good thing I didn't leave my drink alone with him.
01:31Why did they let people like him out of prison so soon?
01:34Yeah.
01:35And he was being so casual, you wouldn't even know that there was anything off.
01:39Do you think Holly's been notified?
01:41Oh, surely Susan would have said something.
01:43And don't forget about Dex as well.
01:44Well, we need to tell them.
01:48A cake? For me?
01:50Well, I thought the occasion called for it.
01:52Jayden's picking it up on the way over.
01:54Oh, couldn't the boys have done that?
01:55Yeah, if you want to text her to eat it all.
01:58Ready to range a glass for Constable Barger Murphy?
02:01You promise we'll be on our best behaviour, officer.
02:04Oh, says you.
02:05This is a celebration, isn't it?
02:07Hey, thanks for being here, guys.
02:08It really means a lot.
02:09Of course.
02:11You really deserved it.
02:12I almost cracked up laughing when you presented me with my badge.
02:15You look so serious.
02:17Thanks.
02:18Well, I was actually going for dignified and supportive.
02:20You absolutely were.
02:21You both were.
02:22Are the boys here yet?
02:24Oh, they're back there with Tay.
02:25They're getting a tour of the academy.
02:27Oh, the photos I took of you guys turned out so nice.
02:30Look.
02:35Oh.
02:36Nice.
02:37That actually makes me a little bit emotional.
02:40Aww.
02:41Come on.
02:42Let's go crack your good beers before Tay gets back.
02:43Woo!
02:44Great idea.
02:49Sadie's really had some crashing moments.
02:51So have I, obviously.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Um, are you still keen to go out later after the family thing?
02:56Uh, yeah.
02:57Karaoke, remember?
02:58Yeah.
02:59Yeah, just checking.
03:00I promise I'll duet any song with you.
03:01I owe you a good night after the bar.
03:03Um, it's all good.
03:04Don't worry.
03:05No, come on.
03:06You deserve a backup singer.
03:07I do.
03:08But have you heard yourself?
03:10Uh, pity we can't make Byron come.
03:12I think we need to unwind after the whole Saskia thing.
03:15Hey.
03:16I just wanted to make sure you're aware that Kara's little get-together is starting next door.
03:19Oh, right.
03:20Yeah, you're more than welcome.
03:23Yeah, maybe.
03:24Um, I thought you'd be busy practising for your interview.
03:27Nah, Susan's quizzed me a lot.
03:30Oh.
03:31Well, who's gonna be there?
03:33Oh, just a few of the neighbours.
03:34Um, Andrew's mentored Kara, so he'll be there with Wendy, and there'll be some others.
03:38Well, that all sounds really special, but, um, me and Max actually have a lot to organise for Sadie's party.
03:43A collage and playlist.
03:44Uh-huh.
03:45Sorry.
03:46Yeah, okay.
03:50What about, like, that one?
03:53And she left Play-Doh inside the margarine.
03:56I'm just trying to put her on my clothes.
03:57Hey.
03:58It's not too bad.
03:59Low car.
04:01Oh, the ceremony was gorgeous.
04:03The boys were so proud.
04:05I can imagine.
04:06Andrew is my boss.
04:07No thanks.
04:08I'm just grateful to be stationed so close to home.
04:11You know, it certainly doesn't always work out that way.
04:13Hey, can you clear my record?
04:15It's my first week, Nicolette.
04:17I'm gonna try and follow the rules.
04:18Oh, come on.
04:19Alright, I'll ask next week.
04:22Hey, Guns.
04:23Um, hi.
04:24Can I have a private word?
04:25Yeah.
04:26Yeah, of course.
04:27What's wrong?
04:28Um, well, um, actually, I may as well tell everyone while they're here.
04:33Um, hey, um, Bevan Bowman's out.
04:37What?
04:38Wait, Bowman's out?
04:40Yeah.
04:41So sorry.
04:42I don't mean to spoil things for you, but I just thought we should all know as soon as
04:46possible.
04:47And, um, well, it seems that Gavin Bowman is out of jail and poor Jane has accidentally
04:52found herself on an internet date with him.
04:55But you didn't know this?
04:56I, um, no.
04:57No, I didn't.
04:58Oh, my God.
04:59Poor Mum.
05:00She's okay.
05:01She's fine.
05:02Where's Dexter?
05:03He's not far, but he's with Tay and JJ.
05:04He'll be here okay.
05:05I'm just going to call them to come through.
05:06Yeah.
05:07I'd better go and tell Susan and Holly.
05:08Can you come with me just to give the police perspective?
05:09Uh, I need to check in with the station to see if I can get some more details.
05:23Jane, hello.
05:27Wow.
05:28Look who it is.
05:30Jane, hello.
05:33Well, look who it is.
05:35I got your text.
05:37As soon as I realised your connection to Ramsey Street, I left.
05:41Yes, and without any explanation.
05:45Well, it's not easy to talk about.
05:47I don't know how it is that you are out of jail.
05:51Obviously being a serious failure of the justice system.
05:54I have no intention of...
05:56You shouldn't be anywhere near where the people you hurt live.
06:01It's where I live.
06:02Well, you shouldn't be on any dating apps,
06:05preying on women who have no idea about your past.
06:08I never would have met up with you if I'd have known...
06:11Don't try and make yourself sound better.
06:15Now, you have barely paid for what you've done,
06:18so you just stay away from me and from everybody else.
06:26Look, if we show Dex that we're worried,
06:32it's only going to make things worse for him.
06:34It's going to be hard to hide it from him.
06:36Let's just think about this logically, okay?
06:38Dex was a random victim.
06:40He didn't do anything to hurt Bowman.
06:42There's no reason to think that he would be in the jail.
06:45Yeah, he didn't do anything.
06:48Bye.
06:51Jane, I had to tell everyone.
06:53It just came straight out.
06:54Mum, I'm sorry.
06:56I can't believe I pushed him.
06:57You ended up with a sicko.
06:58No, and I just saw him again.
07:00What?
07:01Yeah.
07:02I ran into him outside of Harold's,
07:03and I don't know, I couldn't help myself.
07:05I had to give him a piece of my mind.
07:07Jane.
07:08Do you really think that's a good idea?
07:10Um, hard no.
07:11It just makes me so angry to think of him parading around.
07:15I told him, you stay away.
07:17Okay, so we've got an update.
07:22Unfortunately, it's all pretty straightforward.
07:23Bowman was up for parole,
07:25and the parole board seemed to think he was sufficiently rehabilitated.
07:29Or so he convinced them.
07:39Hey.
07:41Hey.
07:42Me again.
07:43Oh, us.
07:44Is this about Carver's party?
07:45Um, I'm afraid it's rather more serious.
07:49Yeah, why don't we sit down?
07:51No, you're freaking me out.
07:52What's going on?
07:57I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
08:00Gavin Bowman's been released from prison.
08:02Andrew just messaged.
08:04Apparently he's on parole.
08:05Why is this the guy who...
08:06The guy who tried to kill me?
08:16We're here with you.
08:17You're safe?
08:17Yes.
08:18It's so soon, I thought that he'd be away for, like, years more.
08:21Well, we all did.
08:22Why didn't the police even warn me?
08:24We don't know.
08:25I imagine it was news for Andrew, too.
08:28Dad, he probably hates you as well.
08:29Well, yeah, well, I guess I played a part in ending his career,
08:32but there's no suggestion he wants to revisit his past, okay?
08:35You don't need to worry about me.
08:37Well, I'm just going to be thinking about him popping up wherever I go.
08:40I mean, he's free to do whatever he wants.
08:42Do you want to take some time off work?
08:43No, I have responsibilities.
08:45Lesley just untapped is like my baby.
08:47I'm sure Krista won't mind if you ask someone to take us some chips.
08:49I can't do that forever.
08:51I'll be your bodyguard if you need me to be.
08:53We need to speak to Andrew.
08:54What?
08:55Do we have to?
08:57Oh, yes, of course.
08:58Perhaps you can offer some reassurance.
08:59Oh, God.
09:10I won't ask you to tell me about the date.
09:17Um, you're probably sick of getting all the questions.
09:20Well, there really isn't that much to tell.
09:24No, let's think about something nicer.
09:27How are things going for Sadie's party?
09:30Oh, yeah, well, just a few last-minute things to organise
09:34and Polly's helping.
09:35Uh-huh.
09:37But mostly I'm just thinking about meeting Andrew's biological.
09:40Oh, he's going to be there.
09:42Mm.
09:43Gretchen is driving them from Sandy Point.
09:46And I just really hope he likes me.
09:49I have this vision of us being this big, happy family for Andrew.
09:54We will love you, Wendy.
09:56Guaranteed.
09:57But how are things with her?
10:01Well, we haven't spoken since the first time, so...
10:05So it's still up in the air.
10:06It's just the lie she told me ruined what was supposed to be a beautiful gesture
10:13and just created this real wedge between Andrew and I.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Well, I'm sure she feels guilty.
10:21Yeah, I think she does.
10:23Oh, it's fine.
10:24You know, all we need is a good conversation.
10:27Dex is okay.
10:34He says he's got all his bad luck out of the way young.
10:37He's a resilient kid.
10:39Mm.
10:40It's Remy who's more freaked out.
10:42She's the one who actually had more to do with Bowman.
10:44Well, you can tell her that I spoke to his parole officer.
10:47And, uh...
10:49One sec.
10:49Okay.
10:55Hey.
10:56Hi.
10:57Please.
10:57I'm sure you can guess why we're here.
11:00Yeah.
11:00Hi, mate.
11:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:04Ali, how are you?
11:05She didn't want to bother you, but I thought it was worth checking.
11:08Do you have any advice on how she should proceed?
11:11Of course.
11:11We still don't understand why she wasn't notified before now.
11:14I'm so sorry about that.
11:16Look, there was an error and neither you or Dex were on the victim's register.
11:20Well, none of that makes a difference now.
11:22Bowman's out.
11:23There's nothing we can do about it.
11:24I wouldn't say nothing.
11:25I was just telling Cara that I spoke with his parole officer and we've got his address
11:29so we can do regular checks.
11:31Will that help?
11:33It's a powerful deterrent.
11:34Him knowing that we can just show up at any moment.
11:37And I'll be able to help too when I start work in a couple of days.
11:39Well, that's something.
11:40Look, I'm also organising a close watch on the street and at your work.
11:45So if Bowman's loitering, it can be grounds for an intervention order.
11:48And if he approaches you, harassment, which will send him straight back to prison.
11:51Yeah, I'm going to help watch Holly too.
11:53Great.
11:54Look, I know this is really nerve-wracking, but we got you, okay?
11:59Okay.
12:01Cool.
12:03Thanks, Andrew.
12:04Pleasure.
12:10Hey, will you let me know how Holly seems when she wakes up?
12:21Yes, yes, of course, of course.
12:23You don't want to practise any more interview questions or anything?
12:26Darling, I've spent more than 20 years in this community.
12:28I think that'll stand me in pretty good stead.
12:30True.
12:31Everyone has said so.
12:32This role is perfect for you.
12:35I would accept her.
12:36Good luck kiss.
12:36You know, it's a shame this role is part-time.
12:41Really?
12:42Yeah, I've had so many thoughts.
12:44Senior healthcare, arts programming, environmental engagement, and of course, community gardens.
12:50Of course.
12:51You are going to smash it.
12:53Go on, off you go.
12:54Good luck.
12:59Holly will be here soon.
13:01That's good.
13:03Are you okay?
13:04You've got a lot on your plate today.
13:07Looking out for her and Dex and your family coming over.
13:11I've got my whole team on the phone and watch.
13:13Don't know I've got family stuff on.
13:15Hello.
13:16Hello.
13:17Oh, they're here.
13:18Early.
13:19How nice.
13:20Hey, welcome.
13:22You found us.
13:25Hey.
13:30Mate.
13:30Stephen.
13:33This is my wife, Wendy.
13:36Very happy to finally meet you.
13:38I couldn't agree more.
13:39It is so nice to meet you in person.
13:41Can I just...
13:42Oh, thanks for the photo album you sent the other day.
13:47I haven't stopped looking at the pictures.
13:48Oh, and Sadie is just finishing up getting ready.
13:53She won't be long.
13:54Gretchen, welcome.
13:56It's so nice to see you again.
13:59We're very much looking forward to meeting Sadie.
14:03I hope she can't wait to meet both of you.
14:06Oh, Andrew, remember that wine that you liked the other day?
14:09And there's some inside.
14:11Oh, that's so sweet.
14:13I'd love a glass.
14:14Thanks.
14:15Let me get you settled.
14:16Yeah.
14:17Okay.
14:18I'll have to see you back again.
14:19Yes, I probably should have shown a bit more restraint,
14:24but he's hardly going to take my advice, is he?
14:27From what I know of him, no, probably not.
14:31I just hope I haven't antagonised him.
14:33I'll take more than that, shall we?
14:37Hi.
14:37How was your interview?
14:38Yes, it was good.
14:39I've got to go through another one, though.
14:41Oh, another interview?
14:42Yes, yes.
14:43I suggest I bring someone who can speak in my favour.
14:46You know, like a pillar of the community?
14:51Oh, like a school principal?
14:54Well, you'd think it would help.
14:56Thank you, yes.
14:57But that's not why I came by.
15:00I wanted to speak to Therese.
15:02Oh.
15:03After my interview, I spoke to someone I know at the council
15:06who tells me that you applied for rezoning assessment at Power Road
15:11because you want to sell it.
15:13Oh, my God.
15:26Don't worry.
15:27I'm going to have a word.
15:28No, chiro, chiro, chiro, no!
15:31Oi!
15:35You need to be more careful where you spend your time.
15:37I keep telling people, I'm not trying...
15:39You're in danger of getting yourself an intervention order
15:41or losing your parole.
15:44Does Remy want to come and have a go, too?
15:47She's more than welcome.
15:48Watch yourself.
15:50I'm a police officer now.
15:52We're all going to be keeping a very close eye on you,
15:55so if you so much as breathe, we'll know about it.
16:00You want me to stop breathing?
16:02Fine.
16:03Whatever you say, officer.
16:22Did you have to do that?
16:23It's my responsibility.
16:25What's the point of having a badge if I'm not going to use it?
16:27I was planning on telling everyone, obviously,
16:35before it hit the market.
16:36So there's no mistake, then?
16:38What made you decide to sell?
16:39Oh, simply just looking into it.
16:41That's all.
16:43I mean, as you know,
16:44I was planning on building Irenee Rising there originally.
16:47Yeah, so the council knocked back your original plan
16:50because it was high-rise.
16:50Yeah, well, maybe it's a good opportunity for somebody else.
16:53Is Paul driving us?
16:55No.
16:55No, he doesn't even know.
16:56I've only just engaged Rhett.
16:59He's the one that suggested I look into the zoning.
17:01So you're quite serious about selling?
17:04I'm just keeping my options open.
17:06I can't believe you didn't give me a heads up about this.
17:08I'm sorry.
17:09I'm really sorry, but this has happened very quickly.
17:12It might not be bad news for the tram.
17:14I mean, think about all the business that the high-rise will bring.
17:18Well, provider's not built on top of it.
17:20Okay, you know what?
17:21This is just speculation at the moment.
17:23And I'm sorry you found out this way, but now you know.
17:26My tumour is shrinking and I'm responding well to chemo.
17:38That's awesome.
17:40Well, ever since we've connected, it's all been great.
17:43I only wish it happened sooner.
17:49Well, you know there were reasons.
17:53Oh, sorry.
17:53No, Gretchen, I didn't...
17:55Um...
17:56Gretchen, can you and I have a chat?
18:04I think we need to clear the air.
18:07The past few months have been extremely difficult.
18:10Look, I know you only told me those lies about Stephen because you were trying to protect him.
18:15So why'd you make a dig?
18:17I didn't.
18:18My father was extremely vulnerable over time.
18:21He still is.
18:22I had no idea what kind of person you were.
18:24All right, but I think you should have spent a bit more time finding out.
18:29So you're holding a grudge?
18:31I think he could have handled it better, but I am moving on.
18:34Are you?
18:35Yes.
18:37Andrew said he understood.
18:38I thought it was all pretty straightforward.
18:39Is everything okay, guys?
18:43I'm clearing the air.
18:45You are punishing me.
18:46I am not.
18:48Wait, Wendy.
18:49I am wanting to show Gretchen how hard it has been for us.
18:54Please, just let it go.
19:05You okay?
19:07Yeah.
19:08I'm just a bit worried about him.
19:10It's a big deal for him having Gretchen and Stephen here.
19:12Yeah, for Sadie too, I bet.
19:14I don't know if she decides to make an appearance.
19:16I'm sure she's just picking him over to make an entrance.
19:18Mm-hmm.
19:29My dad doesn't need any family fights.
19:32I don't want to fight with you, Gretchen.
19:35No, you just want to make me feel bad for protecting him, even though I said I'm sorry.
19:39You're not even interested to know what we went through.
19:41This is exactly what I was worried about, bringing someone into the family who's demanding and difficult.
19:46Hey, you were the one who started all this unpleasantness, and you're the one who keeps going on about it.
19:50You only want your brother's family if it's on your terms.
19:57You just keep proving me right.
20:02I'd like to go.
20:03What?
20:04No, we're waiting to see the birthday girl, aren't we?
20:08Today's not the day.
20:09Trust me, maybe another time?
20:11What happened?
20:12Dad, when do we ever ask you to do things that are not in your best interest?
20:19Maybe another day would be better.
20:21I'm sorry.
20:22Wendy, what the hell?
20:36Coming up on Neighbours.
20:38What do you think?
20:40Incredible.
20:40Thanks for walking me out of class.
20:42The only person around here actually seems to care.
20:45Hello?
20:45I'm trying to make an entrance here.
20:47Dad, where's Gretchen and Stephen?
20:48I thought you said they were going to be here.
20:50This is something we can deal with.
20:51I really don't want to let it fester.
20:53What the?
