00:00So many great memories in that house.
00:11When a day goes by that I don't think about her.
00:13My mum's eternity ring.
00:16It's nice.
00:18Even if it was worth two dollars, it would still be special to me.
00:21I just miss her so much.
00:24How is she?
00:25I just think the house sales knocked her around a bit.
00:27I want to give you your share of the settlement and the sale of the house.
00:30Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in taking your bribe.
00:34Imagine what you could do with this money.
00:35You could put a deposit on your own place.
00:37Yeah, but I told myself that I'll never take anything from him again.
00:40But isn't it also from your mum?
00:42She owned that house too.
00:43Wouldn't she want you to have something from it?
00:45So you don't want the money.
00:46Fine.
00:47There must be something I can do for you.
00:50You're doing a great job.
00:51That means a lot.
00:52Because I was thinking that I might like to talk to the department about adopting him.
00:55Okay, what's Cohen said about it?
00:57I haven't told him yet.
00:58How would you feel about me adopting you?
01:02I want to go back to live with my mum.
01:04Will I?
01:05I guess I would be your mum.
01:07So you want my mum to not be my mum anymore?
01:09It's so beautiful here.
01:24Hmm, it is.
01:26Perfect place for a family.
01:28Very bad.
01:29What?
01:30Look, I've been thinking about your question.
01:32About whether there's something you can do.
01:34But please don't act like we're okay.
01:36So what are you thinking?
01:40Well Theo thinks that I should take the money because it'd be like it's from mum.
01:44He's got a good point.
01:45Well, I'm not changing my mind.
01:48However, there is something that I think you could give me that might make me feel closer to her.
01:53Whatever you need, name it.
01:55It's yours.
01:56Well what about mum's eternity ring?
01:57Um, look if you don't want to part ways with it, it's cool.
02:04I get it.
02:04No, it's not that.
02:08Leave it with me.
02:12This looks like a nice, calm conversation.
02:15It is.
02:17It's been good to chat.
02:19So the money thing?
02:21All sorted.
02:23Great.
02:25Bye dad.
02:26Bye.
02:26Bye.
02:27So Samantha's always going to be your mum.
02:35I don't want you to think that I'm trying to replace her.
02:38Right.
02:39I asked to adopt you because I don't want you to worry about where you're going to live or who's going to look after you.
02:45Would I have to change my name?
02:47Well, no, you don't have to make a decision about that.
02:49That's totally up to you.
02:51Oh and Stuart.
02:53You don't have to make your mind up now about any of this, okay?
02:56The important thing is to know that I care about you.
02:58We all do, mate.
02:59Yeah, we just want you to be happy.
03:01Yeah, I'll think about it.
03:03Okay, no pressure.
03:04You know, I do some of my best thinking when I'm fishing.
03:08Oh really?
03:09Yeah.
03:10I've got all this stuff organised now.
03:12All I need from you is to get some water in that bucket.
03:15Oh, what for?
03:16For all the fish we're going to catch, mate.
03:22You know, there's way too much weight on his shoulders for a boy his age.
03:31Yeah, I know.
03:37Why don't you go and have a break, love?
03:39He's in good hands now.
03:40Well, don't tell me he said no.
03:55Oh no, he hasn't said anything yet.
03:57He's thinking it over while he fishes with Dad.
03:59Was he happy?
04:01Honestly, he seemed a bit overwhelmed.
04:03That's understandable.
04:04Yeah, he had a lot of questions and I couldn't really get a read on what he was thinking.
04:09Well, he clearly adores you and he's going to be a wonderful addition to the family.
04:13Yeah, I feel like we belong together, you know.
04:15But, see, he might not feel the same way.
04:18What if he's trying to think of a way to say no?
04:20Well, darling, it's a big decision for a child to make.
04:23It's just...
04:24When Cash told me how relieved he was when Gary took him in permanently,
04:29I was just really hoping that Carl would feel the same way.
04:31Do you know what?
04:32Your dad will help him to make the right decision.
04:36Hmm?
04:36Yeah.
04:39Why can't we just head straight on?
04:40Because I've got a business to check on.
04:42Sure, but don't you want to get started right away?
04:44Oh, something came, Ben.
04:45Well, aren't you?
04:46I mean, it was pretty hard to get an appointment with all those white lists.
04:49I just want to make sure everything's sorted before I start injecting myself with hormones.
04:53Fair enough.
04:55Jo!
04:56Got any news for me?
04:58Well, you'll be very pleased to know that I joined the gym.
05:02Wonderful.
05:04Good for you.
05:04It's good to stay fit.
05:05Yeah, that's why she joined.
05:07Why else would you?
05:09Oh, it's a ton of things.
05:11Of course it is, Dufus.
05:12Okay, so tell me.
05:13Well, we had a really nice talk the other day and you were right.
05:16He's a really good guy.
05:18Okay, so was it like a talk talk or like a flirt and try another date kind of talk?
05:23I don't know.
05:24To be honest, I'm just happy to be making a friend.
05:29I thought I'd come back to you and your dad having an argument.
05:33You must have lost your edge.
05:34Yeah, well, we did actually manage to have a mature conversation.
05:38So you're taking the money then?
05:40I'm not.
05:41What?
05:42I'm not taking it.
05:43I'd rather poke my eye out with a blunt stick.
05:45Oh, okay.
05:46It just feels like a bribe.
05:48I mean, especially after he's giving Joe the exact same amount.
05:51What about seeing it as a gift from your mum?
05:54Yeah, look, I did hear what you said and so I asked for something else.
05:59The Eternity Ring.
06:00Right, is that like a family heirloom or something?
06:03Mm, well, mum and dad had renewed their vows and dad let Joe and I pick out a ring that day.
06:11Just like that, mum was gone.
06:13So wearing that ring is going to make you feel more connected to her?
06:18Yeah.
06:19I think it might also stop me from being so angry all the time.
06:23Maybe.
06:25Here we go.
06:26Are you, David?
06:27I didn't order him.
06:29I know, but you've now been here long enough for me to remember your order.
06:33Oh, you don't get that kind of service in the city.
06:35No, you do not.
06:36Do you want anything else?
06:38Maybe in a minute.
06:38I'm just waiting for my daughter.
06:40Okay, let me know.
06:41Thanks.
06:43It's better be an emergency.
06:48I was about to start a boot camp when you texted me.
06:50I talked to Lacey.
06:52Talked or yelled?
06:53It was actually quite pleasant in the end.
06:56I take it that's because you offered her $100,000?
06:59I did.
07:01And?
07:02She wasn't interested.
07:04Hmm.
07:04Two surprises in one day.
07:08She wants your mother's eternity ring.
07:12She doesn't know that you have it and I didn't tell her.
07:15But is there any chance that you'd consider giving it to her?
07:18No way.
07:20Jo, listen.
07:22You know what it means to me, Dad.
07:23Of course I do.
07:25But at the same time, I think this could start to help us repair.
07:28I don't care.
07:29She just wants to be close to her mum again.
07:34I lost mum that day too.
07:35Why does no one remember that?
07:40You're right.
07:41I'm sorry.
07:43I'll find another way to sort things out with your sister.
07:47Good.
07:48Look at you, sitting there like a pro.
08:07Nobody would know it was your first day fishing.
08:18It is supposed to be relaxing.
08:20Yeah, I'm sorry.
08:22Nah, don't worry, mate.
08:24I know you've got a lot on your mind.
08:28It's okay if you'd rather not talk about it.
08:31We can just talk fishing.
08:40Well, you must have a few questions.
08:43When you catch a fish, do you think it's mum misses it?
08:48It's truth, mate.
08:51I think you've just asked me the first fishing question I don't know the answer to.
08:55It's hospice.
08:57Come in.
08:59It's appeared.
09:00They'll take us.
09:21I don't know.
09:51I don't know.
10:21That's perfect.
10:22Then pull it tight.
10:25And you have just tied your first Duncan knot.
10:27Oh, cool.
10:29Why don't you have a go at another one, eh?
10:30Yeah, right.
10:31There's a million different knots out there in the world, but really, this is the only one you're ever going to need.
10:39A lot of people now call it the uni knot.
10:42Uni knot?
10:43Yeah, but I prefer to call it by its original name.
10:46It reminds me of my son Duncan.
10:51So, um, have you had a chance to give any more thought to this adoption caper?
10:56I want to say yes, but I feel like I'm betraying my mum.
11:01You are allowed to say no.
11:03But then I'd be letting down Rue.
11:05Oh, don't worry about that.
11:06There'll be no hard feelings either way.
11:08What if I forget about my mum?
11:11You're never going to forget your mum, mate.
11:14Because your heart's big enough to love more than one person at the same time.
11:19There's no wrong decision here.
11:21And as Rue said, you've got all the time in the world to make up your mind.
11:25Can we practice knots later?
11:30I want to go to my room.
11:32There's something I need to do.
11:33Yeah, you go for your life, mate.
11:44Hey, Rue.
11:45Oh, hi, David.
11:47Hey.
11:50How's Cohen feeling?
11:51Oh, so much better.
11:52He's out of hospital and back home now, so...
11:54Glad to hear.
11:54He's a good kid.
11:56He really is.
11:57Actually, um...
11:59I've asked him if he would like me to adopt him.
12:02Yeah?
12:03Mm.
12:04That's great.
12:05Yeah, I thought you would be a little more enthusiastic.
12:09Ah.
12:10Sorry.
12:11No, no.
12:11I'm happy for both of you.
12:12I'm just thinking how hard parenting is.
12:16Oh, right.
12:17Okay.
12:17Have you got some things going on with your girls?
12:21I just can't make them happy.
12:23They're constantly at each other.
12:24They're constantly fighting, and I'm stuck in the middle.
12:27Mm.
12:27I just don't know what to do.
12:29Sometimes there's nothing you can do.
12:31You've just got to let them find their own way.
12:33Anyway, good luck.
12:35Thanks.
12:35I'll see you.
12:36See you.
12:36Yeah.
12:36You've got to dance, you believe.
12:39Cohen was pretty quiet today.
12:42Yeah.
12:43I'm worried about him, actually.
12:44I hope he's okay.
12:47Hello.
12:48Um, you want something to eat?
12:50I can fix you something.
12:50Oh, in a bit.
12:52I just want to let you know I've made my decision.
12:56I want you to adopt me.
12:58If that's still okay.
13:00Yes, it's okay.
13:03I was worried you might have changed your mind.
13:06I guess I'm not going to change my mind.
13:08Welcome to the family, mate.
13:09Thank you, Mr Stewart.
13:10So we should celebrate this.
13:12I mean, we...
13:12There's just one more thing.
13:13Oh.
13:13I wrote my mum a letter, and I was wondering if you could read it, tell me if it's okay to send.
13:20Huh.
13:20I know she doesn't want to hear from me, but I want to tell her that I'm going to live here.
13:26It's the right thing to do.
13:43Are you sure you want to do the injection yourself?
13:51Mm-hmm.
13:52Yeah, I'm fine.
13:53It'll be fine.
13:54Because you don't look it.
13:55Well, I mean, I don't love needles.
13:57This is more like an EpiPen, so it's not so scary.
13:59Yeah, I know, but it's still a pointy thing that I have to jab myself with, isn't it?
14:04Is this all you're worried about?
14:06What, being a human pin cushion not enough for you, dog?
14:09No.
14:09I mean everything.
14:11Not just the injections.
14:12Yes, I know all about the hormones and the side effects.
14:15You might be emotional.
14:17Mm-hmm.
14:18Distracted.
14:18Yep.
14:18They said bloating.
14:20I mean, is that any different from usual?
14:24Then we have the egg retrieval, and we also don't know how many rounds of this it's going to take us.
14:30Are you trying to talk me out of this?
14:32No, no, no.
14:32I'm just saying there is absolutely no pressure from me, okay?
14:38If at any point you're unsure or you want to pull out of this, I won't mind.
14:42Thank you, but I won't.
14:45This is what we both want.
14:48Ready?
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:49Yep.
14:50I might say it's a journey, so we might as well start with the first step.
14:54Dear Mum, I'm writing to let you know you don't have to worry about me anymore, because I have a new mum now.
15:12Her name is Roo.
15:14You really like her.
15:16She's nice and funny.
15:18She lets me read as much as I like, and she cares about me a lot.
15:21I know you don't want me anymore.
15:27Are you sure you want me to read this?
15:29That's the part I'm worried about.
15:34I know you don't want me anymore, but I think that's only because you couldn't take care of both of us at the same time.
15:40So from now on, Roo's going to look after me, and that means you can look after yourself.
15:48I hope that's okay.
15:51I want you to know that even though we might not see each other again, you'll always be my first mum.
15:57And I'll love you forever, Cohen.
16:04Is that okay?
16:06It's perfect.
16:19Hey.
16:20I heard you and Dad were talking.
16:26So?
16:29Well, it means a lot.
16:30I didn't do it for you.
16:32I know.
16:34I'm just saying it means a lot to Dad.
16:38But thank you, anyway.
16:42I've missed you since you left home.
16:45Sure you have.
16:47It's true.
16:47I would do anything to be sisters again.
16:50Is there a reason for this awkward chat?
16:53Or is it just my lucky day?
16:58Dad told me that you asked him for this.
17:03You haven't?
17:04Since when?
17:07After you moved out, I asked Dad if I could keep it.
17:09I do not believe that.
17:11I know how much it means to you.
17:12I'm sure if you'd still been at home, Dad would have asked if it was okay.
17:14Yeah, well, it isn't.
17:17Well, I'm sorry, Lacey.
17:18It just means too much to me.
17:19Get up.
17:20Hand it over.
17:22No.
17:22No, no, you don't deserve that.
17:24Hand that over.
17:24And you do way more than you.
17:26Lacey, stop it.
17:27Hey, what's going on?
17:28Hey.
17:29Yay.
17:30All right.
17:31Here goes.
17:33Okay.
17:34Mm-hmm.
17:35When you're ready.
17:36Yep.
17:37Oh, come on, come on, come on.
17:38Oh, it's so silly.
17:40Just go.
17:41Do you want me to do it?
17:42Yeah.
17:43Okay.
17:43Okay.
17:45Ugh.
17:46Mm-hmm.
17:48You know, when I pictured us having a baby together, this is not what I had in mind.
17:52I'll be gentle.
17:53Mm-hmm.
17:55You ready?
17:56Mm-hmm.
17:57You might feel a pinch.
17:58Okay.
18:03Done?
18:03Mm-hmm.
18:05Okay.
18:07Ah.
18:12No regrets.
18:13No.
18:14You are the only person I'd want to do this with.
18:22Wasn't so bad.
18:25Hey, don't walk away from me or we are not done.
18:27I am.
18:27Maybe we should talk about this another time.
18:29Hey, you give me one reason why that ring should be yours.
18:31Because I held her hand when she died.
18:33Yeah, you mean when you killed her?
18:35Hey.
18:36Guys, guys.
18:36Give it to me.
18:37No.
18:38Guys.
18:38It's fine.
18:39Give it to me.
18:40Oh.
18:40Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
18:42Cleman Hill's going on here.
19:03Hi, darling.
19:04Thank God.
19:05I thought that day wouldn't yet end.
19:06Yeah, me too.
19:07Where's Cohen?
19:08He's upstairs.
19:10And do you know what he's doing?
19:11He said, I need some kite time so I can practice my fishing knots.
19:15Oh, did he?
19:18Has he made a decision?
19:19Mm-hmm.
19:20And?
19:22He said yes.
19:24I don't think that's so good.
19:25Oh, sweetheart.
19:26Gosh.
19:27So when do you start the process?
19:29Oh, I've already started.
19:30Right.
19:31Okay.
19:31I knew you had nothing to worry about.
19:35We're going to be a family.
19:37Go on.
19:38There you go.
19:41Something to cool you both down.
19:43Just don't throw it over each other.
19:44Okay?
19:46Got it.
19:47Not the time for chugs.
19:48Thanks for calling me.
19:52If I haven't, somebody else would.
19:53These two are going at one another like a pair of banshees down in the middle of the Flamin' Club.
19:58Well, she started it.
19:59You're such a brat.
20:00You stole the ring.
20:01You don't get everything.
20:02Enough.
20:02I'm sorry about all this.
20:05Just sort it out, eh?
20:06They can't keep bunging on blues in public.
20:09I'll deal with it.
20:10It won't happen again.
20:12Eh, good.
20:14I'd like a moment alone with my daughters.
20:16Mm, they're all yours.
20:23Else right, this has to stop.
20:27I want our family back together.
20:30So we all need to figure out what to do peacefully.
20:33Okay.
20:35Give the ring back.
20:36No.
20:37Then I'm out of here.
20:38And so am I.
20:38Shit down!
20:45No one's going anywhere until we sort this out.
20:59You're so pig-headed.
21:01Why do you make everything so difficult?
21:03You were literally the one refusing to budge.
21:05Because you're being unreasonable.
21:06We all just take a breath.
21:07Don't, no, no, forget it.
21:08I'm done.
21:09I don't want to fight with you.
21:10Well, then you know what you need to do.
21:12What happened to us?
21:13We were always such a great team.
21:15You drove my mom into a tree.
21:17I can see both sides.
21:18No, no.
21:18After what she did to mom, she doesn't deserve a thing.
21:20What are you hearing yourself?
21:21It's not supposed to me.
21:23This version of you that acts like this,
21:25it's not the Lacey that I fell in love with.
