00:00So this woman offers you a gig, she offers you drugs, and she strokes your ego, and that was enough for you to throw everything away.
00:16Yeah, it's ridiculous, but I think that's what happened.
00:19You know, you asked me before if I still loved you.
00:21Of course I do, Rumi. That's why this hurts so much, and I need to work through that.
00:27I don't know how long it's going to take, so you're going to need it. Give me some time.
00:31I know that seeing Connor on a date with someone else must have really hurt, but he does deserve to be happy.
00:38You all do.
00:40Did you shut things down with Jo because it's what you wanted, or did you do it for me?
00:46We have done everything right. Why is this not happening?
00:50I should rule out any potential issues on my end, so I'm going to book an appointment as soon as I can.
00:55You don't think she's drinking again, do you?
00:57Well, like she's upset about something.
00:59Irene, what's wrong?
01:00I've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
01:03I'm diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
01:04I'm diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
01:07So I'm diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
01:10I'm diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
01:11If you want it, I'll make you happy to pretend.
01:13Just don't treat me like a child.
01:17Oooh!
01:20permite?
01:21Hi.
01:22Ah, if you're heading out, I can go.
01:23Ah, no, no, not at all.
01:25Ah.
01:26Um, do you want to come in?
01:32Come on, no tears.
01:36Is it certain?
01:38Can't we just get another opinion?
01:40I love it.
01:41It's certain.
01:45What does this mean?
01:48Well, um, I'm not sure.
01:52I'm still getting my head around it.
01:54They don't even know how quickly it'll progress.
02:00Irene.
02:01Hey, I didn't tell you for sympathy.
02:04All right.
02:05I told you because you're my friend.
02:09And you needed to know.
02:13What's next?
02:14Well, I want to keep things as normal as possible.
02:19So there's no knock on a fake foot for you or for the diner.
02:23Of course.
02:25But, love, I am not out for the count yet.
02:33There you go.
02:36Go on, eat up.
02:38Better than sitting here twiddling your thumbs.
02:41Am I that obvious?
02:42No, you're making me anxious.
02:43I just really hope we get the results back today.
02:46It feels like it's been a lifetime.
02:48They said it would take a few days.
02:49Remember, it was the same with me.
02:50Yeah, yeah, I remember.
02:51It's just, it's weird being the one under the microscope.
02:54Literally and figuratively.
02:55Morning.
02:57Hey, Abs.
02:58Morning.
03:01Okay, okay.
03:02What is going on?
03:03Nothing.
03:04Yeah, yeah, we're cool.
03:05Yeah, we're cool, cool, cool.
03:06Mm-hmm.
03:06Wait, are you?
03:07You're not.
03:08Am I going to be an auntie?
03:09Abby, Abby.
03:09No, I'm not pregnant.
03:12I have no idea how badly I wish I was.
03:16Right.
03:17Well, I'm just a monster then.
03:19No, no, you're not.
03:26Still asleep?
03:28I feel terrible.
03:31Why?
03:32It's fine.
03:33It's not fine.
03:34I came between you and Joe, ruined your date,
03:36and now you've ended things with her.
03:38I already told you there was nothing to end.
03:40But you do like her.
03:43Oh, look, I might have been curious,
03:45but dating's not my priority right now.
03:47Archie is.
03:48I appreciate that, but you didn't answer the question.
03:51Do you really have to do this?
03:53Well, let me put it this way.
03:55You saw how upset I was,
03:56so you shut things down with Joe, yes or no?
04:01It was wrong of me to interfere.
04:04I don't have a right to say what you do in your life.
04:07I just need to know that you'll be there for our son.
04:10Of course I will be.
04:12So, you can move on romantically with Joe or anyone else.
04:19Not that you need my permission.
04:20I should get Archie home.
04:28Fingers crossed he stays asleep.
04:30Well, do you want a hand?
04:31Nah, I'll manage.
04:33Have a good day, man.
04:35Yeah, you too.
04:35I know what I wanted.
04:48There you go.
04:49Thanks.
04:51It's good to see you.
04:53Can I ask why you hear that?
05:00So, I've been thinking about my life lately
05:02and what it looks like moving forward with or without you.
05:07and the truth is
05:10I've missed you.
05:13Missed you too.
05:17So, yeah, maybe we could try and work this out.
05:21Yeah.
05:23Yeah, but it has to be on my terms.
05:26I'm calling the shots, okay?
05:27Do you have anything you need?
05:28Yeah, you need to respect that.
05:29Of course.
05:30Look, I don't know how this is going to work exactly
05:34or if it will work.
05:37All I know is that right now
05:39I can't imagine my life without you.
05:44Neither can I.
05:53Thanks.
05:55Hey, mate.
05:56Is Leah around?
05:58Hey, um, no.
05:59No, she's gone to see Irene about something.
06:02Oh.
06:02How are you?
06:02Oh, I'm good.
06:03I'm good.
06:04I've just come from the hospital.
06:05I suppose you've met young Cohen by now.
06:07Rue's new foster kid, yeah.
06:09Yeah.
06:09She hasn't left his side since I got back.
06:12I think she's becoming a bit attached to him.
06:14Not that I can blame her.
06:16Oh, mate, I didn't mean to bore you.
06:18Oh, no, no, no.
06:19I'm sorry.
06:19I've just got a bit of my mind.
06:21That's all right.
06:24Oh, Leah.
06:25I'll go, mate.
06:29She told you.
06:38You knew, didn't you?
06:53Hey, Jo.
06:54This is about time.
06:58I really don't have time.
06:59No, no, no.
06:59It's not.
07:00I promise.
07:01I was just hoping to clear a few things up.
07:03Can we talk?
07:04Let me get that for you.
07:17Oh, thanks.
07:20No worries.
07:22Look, I am determined to get this right.
07:24I am not going to let you down.
07:25How about we don't put too much pressure on it, okay?
07:29No, we might end up together, or we might not.
07:34Look, what happened with Avalon is never going to happen again.
07:36Maybe we don't mention her name.
07:39Like, ever.
07:41Got it.
07:42That's right.
07:44One bottle of our very finest.
07:47Thank you, Abby.
07:48No, seriously, this one is top shelf.
07:50So, which one of you is sucking up?
07:52That one's sucking up.
07:53Oh, come on, Remy.
07:54What did you do this time?
07:55Hmm?
07:58Oh.
08:01Well, forget I said anything.
08:02Enjoy.
08:06So, uh, moving with Sonny full-time.
08:11How's that going?
08:12You really want to talk about Sonny?
08:15No, not really.
08:18To be honest, Brie, I'm just trying not to say the wrong thing.
08:25You know what, I might need some tips.
08:30Tips?
08:31I'm living with Sonny.
08:32It can be a bit full-on.
08:35Yeah.
08:37Well, in that case, you've come to the right guy.
08:39Hey, shouldn't Abby know to never assume that someone's pregnant?
08:48Huh.
08:49Well, I actually made that mistake in my third year prac, and it did not end well.
08:54Right, so tact is not a strong point for the Fowler family, then.
08:57You've met Aidan.
08:58I have.
08:59Well, let's just hope our kid takes after me in that area.
09:03Right, I'll go get to work.
09:04Okay.
09:08Mark?
09:09Yeah?
09:09It's the clinic.
09:13That's right.
09:15Okay.
09:18Levi Fowler.
09:23Right.
09:26Uh, yeah, I understand.
09:28Thank you very much.
09:30Have a good day.
09:31Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:34Well, don't get me hanging.
09:36What'd they say?
09:38It's all clear.
09:40Really?
09:42Everything's in the normal ranges.
09:43Apparently, I'm in perfect reproductive health.
09:46Oh, that's great.
09:51So if there's nothing wrong with us, then why aren't we pregnant?
09:55Maybe we just have to keep trying.
09:57Well, I don't get it, though.
09:59I mean, you're one of three.
10:00My dad's got a million kids, and Dean sure doesn't have a problem.
10:04It's not like there's a history of fertility issues.
10:06No, but there's more to it than that.
10:08Did your parents ever say anything about struggling to conceive?
10:12It wasn't exactly discussed around the dinner table.
10:15Right, but you could check with them, though, right?
10:18I mean, you could call them.
10:21Sure.
10:21I can't wait for that conversation.
10:26Yeah, and I'll call my mum, too.
10:29Bye.
10:32I'm going to work.
10:33You have to go.
10:34I love you.
10:34Hey, Irene.
10:41What's new?
10:42Hey, welcome back, doll.
10:44Hey, thanks.
10:44It's good to be back.
10:46Could you check on my order?
10:47I've been waiting for a while.
10:49Fading away, are you?
10:50Yeah, all right.
10:51Hold your horses.
10:54Strongly flaming ants and what's wrong with everybody today?
10:57We'll work through it together.
10:58I'll start them.
11:03Yeah, I'll get on to it.
11:04I can do it.
11:10Actually, love, if you wouldn't mind.
11:12Of course.
11:12I wasn't prepared to see Tanya with another woman.
11:24It really wasn't a big deal.
11:25It was to me.
11:27Even though we both decided to break off the engagement, it's still complicated.
11:31You were getting married?
11:33Yeah, we were, but we both knew that it wasn't right.
11:36We called it off on the day.
11:38I'm sorry.
11:39That's ancient history.
11:41Can't be that ancient.
11:42And your son is so young.
11:44How long ago did it all this happen?
11:46Uh, the wedding was meant to be the week before Archie was born.
11:50But the point is, Tanya's single and he's a really great guy.
11:55So don't hold back because of me.
12:03So, Harper's had a complete turnaround.
12:06Yeah, apparently I have permission to move on.
12:09I'm pretty sure I have been telling you that.
12:11Yeah, but it's different coming from here, right?
12:13Yeah.
12:13It's Archie's mum.
12:14Of course.
12:15I suppose it's very helpful to have her inside.
12:17Hmm.
12:18I think we've really turned a corner now.
12:20I mean, she even let me have Archie overnight.
12:21Oh, that's so great.
12:22Mm-hmm.
12:23Actually, check this out.
12:24We, uh, watched rugby together last night.
12:27Aw, Tanya.
12:29He is so perfect.
12:34Oh, I've got to take this.
12:35Hmm.
12:40Mum, hi.
12:42Thanks for calling me back.
12:46Look, don't tell him I said this, but I'm glad Sunny's not here.
12:49Ah.
12:50I thought you only walked me home to see him.
12:53That's exactly what it said.
12:57I had a really nice time today.
12:59Yeah, me too.
13:01I should have.
13:02Do you want to stay for a cup of tea?
13:06Yeah, that'd be really nice.
13:10It's just tea.
13:11No, for this.
13:14For trying again.
13:19Really missed you.
13:20I know.
13:23Me too.
13:29No, sorry.
13:29No, oh, I...
13:30Yeah, I'm not ready for that.
13:32Yeah, I agree.
13:32Yeah, I'm going to put the cap on.
13:34Yeah.
13:41How are you doing?
13:47Yeah, I'm fine.
13:48Why?
13:49Oh, I'm just checking to see if you had a chance to put in that order for the coffee cart.
13:54Of course I did.
13:57Uh, I'm sure I did.
13:59If you haven't, that's fine.
14:00Oh, I can just draw it before I leave.
14:01I will have written it down for me.
14:11Everything all right?
14:27Uh, yep.
14:28Yeah, I just had to help Mum with Wi-Fi.
14:32You know how it is.
14:32Mm.
14:33Hey.
14:35Hey, hey.
14:36How are you?
14:37Hi.
14:38Fine, thank you.
14:41Well, you've got permission now.
14:43What are you waiting for?
14:45I don't see much on to the tour.
14:46You didn't exactly strike up a conversation, Casanova.
14:49Give it another go.
14:51Yeah, well, she texted me last night and I didn't respond and maybe she's embarrassed or something.
14:55Yeah, well, don't be a wimp.
14:57Just go over.
14:58Talk to her.
14:58You got it.
14:59Mm.
15:01Come on.
15:02Yeah, okay.
15:03Okay.
15:04All right.
15:05Yeah.
15:05I'm good.
15:10Uh, hello again.
15:11Hi.
15:14Listen, sorry I didn't respond to your text last night.
15:16Oh.
15:18You did get that.
15:19Yeah, yeah, I just had my hands full with Archie and that's my son.
15:24Of course.
15:25It was a nice surprise hearing from you.
15:29I was going to say, you know, my life's still a bit complicated.
15:34But less so now if you'd consider another day.
15:38Tarnate, I think you're really great.
15:43I, I just can't do complicated right now.
15:47I understand.
15:49It's all good.
15:51All right, I'll see you around.
15:52Yeah.
15:52I'll see you around.
15:55Come on.
15:58Hi.
15:59Hi.
16:01Did you talk to your dad?
16:02I did.
16:03Okay.
16:03And?
16:05No issues that he knows of.
16:07And that's going back like three generations.
16:09Oh, well, that's great news.
16:12What about you?
16:13Did you do your mum?
16:14Mm-hmm.
16:14Yep.
16:15Um, different story.
16:17Okay.
16:18I'll see.
16:19Well, it turns out that I'm an IVF baby.
16:27Do you want me to go?
16:28No, no.
16:29Are you sure?
16:31Look, I am sorry about before.
16:33It was a mistake.
16:34I, you're the one that's supposed to be calling the shots and I should have respected that.
16:37Yeah, I don't want to make you feel bad, but it was too soon.
16:41Yeah.
16:42Look, from now on, we'll go at whatever pace you need.
16:47I have to warn you, though, it's probably going to be pretty slow going.
16:50Okay, I totally understand.
16:54But, Brie, I know I've got a lot of work to do.
16:57Yeah, we both do.
16:59Because I really do want us to get through this.
17:02Yeah, me too.
17:11Irene, are you okay?
17:14There is nothing in here about a stock order, Leah.
17:18I didn't do it.
17:20You did.
17:21I would have written it down.
17:23I just got an email from the supplier.
17:25It's on its way.
17:27See, you did do it.
17:28That's a good thing, right?
17:30But I can't remember it.
17:34And it's only going to get worse from here, love.
17:37I'm not here.
17:39Oh, God.
17:41It's okay.
17:43Look at me.
17:51Mum said that she really struggled and that at one point she had a miscarriage.
17:57What?
17:57They figured that IVF was their only chance, so they took it and voila.
18:04It worked.
18:07Clearly, she was very determined to have it.
18:09I don't know.
18:12I just can't believe she never told me.
18:16Did she say why?
18:18Apparently, she didn't see it as an issue and didn't think that I would either.
18:21And I don't.
18:22It's, well, except now, you know, that we're trying to fall pregnant.
18:27I don't know.
18:28It's just, IVF has always felt like something out there, something that happens to other
18:34people, like a last resort.
18:36And now it just feels like, whoa, really close to home and different.
18:39Did she say anything else about why they chose IVF?
18:46Any other medical reasons?
18:47They both had all the tests and were completely fine.
18:50Sound familiar?
18:51No, their situation could be completely different to ours.
18:54Yeah, and yet, here we are, not pregnant.
19:00Listen, is IVF something that we should be thinking about?
19:08That's a huge deal.
19:09It's invasive and it's expensive.
19:11Yes, but if it increases our chances of having a child, surely that's what I was exploring.
19:26You're right.
19:29It's worth exploring.
19:41I'm sorry, I've got so frazzled.
19:44Like I said, it's totally okay.
19:46No, it's not.
19:48I am a hot mess.
19:50You don't need to apologise for a few broken plates.
19:54Oh, love.
19:56It's so much more than just the plates.
19:59Today was a big day.
20:01It must have been really difficult for you to tell me about your diagnosis.
20:06I've had easier conversations.
20:08Not every day is going to be this hard.
20:11You know?
20:13Today was hell, but it hasn't been easy for a long while.
20:18That is why you need to cut yourself some slack.
20:24I can't even imagine what you've been going through.
20:29Love, I think it's time I faced facts.
20:33Which are?
20:35I can't keep doing all the things I've been doing.
20:39It's okay.
20:40We'll just, like, we'll work out new systems.
20:44There's no point, love.
20:45I think it's time that I took a step back from the diner.
20:51What's all this?
21:05I'm writing their names on the back of the photos.
21:08Soon I'm not going to know who they are.
21:10The pictures on the wall are whispering my name.
21:17They're holding on to stories that no longer have a place.
21:22So while I've still got time, I'll pick flowers in my mind.
21:29I'll be dancing with the embers as they're rising.
21:34I can't keep doing all the things I've been doing.
21:37While I've got time, while I've got time, while I've got time.
21:45I don't want you to forget me.
21:49And I won't let that happen.
21:51Say goodbye to a legend.
21:54Don't miss a moment of home and away.
21:57Don't miss a moment of time.
