00:00I just want to let you know I've made my decision I want you to adopt me if that's still okay
00:12yes it's okay hey got room for one more in your class I pushed you away pretty quickly and I just
00:19thought joining the gym would be a good way to get to know each other right my mom's eternity ring
00:23oh it's nice even if it was worth two dollars it would still be special to me not a day goes by that
00:31I don't think about her I want to give you your share of the settlement from the sale of the house
00:35thanks for the offer but I'm not interested in taking your bride so you don't want the money
00:40fine there must be something I can do for you she wants your mother's eternity ring no way hand it
00:47over no no no you don't deserve that hand that and you do way more than you guys guys
00:52we all need to figure out what to do peacefully give the ring back no that I'm out of here so am I
01:04sit down no one's going anywhere until we sort this out
01:09what are you up to you off to see cohen yeah ruse asked me to give her a hand while she's busy with
01:36the adoption paperwork oh I'm surprised you agreed to babysit nothing happened about you oh haha you're
01:43never gonna let me leave that one down are you hey was your um your new client in your class today
01:48who oh who's that the one you gotta think for absolutely no idea who you're talking about I don't
01:54never think for anyone all right well you keep telling yourself that mate you might actually start
01:58to believe it you're so pig-headed why do you make everything so difficult you're literally the
02:05one refusing to budge because you're being unreasonable we all just take a breath I'm done
02:10Lacey I said no one's going anywhere we think I don't care what you have to say this is never
02:15gonna work can we at least try to sort this out that's sake if you don't want to hand over the
02:19ring then there's nothing else to say so what's it gonna be doesn't have to be like this we are
02:27still a family you just want me to let her keep the ring don't you I want you both to start acting
02:32like sisters that she can have everything else I just want the ring to be fair Joe has had it for
02:44months so Lacey no no no it's good I know whose side you're on talk to her
03:02they see you can't keep running away I don't want to fight with you then you know what you need to
03:12do this is really important to me yeah and it's important to me too we have to find a way to make
03:20this work for both of us you don't care about me you just want to get your own way do you remember
03:28Tyson Brady what about him remember how I wrote in the love letter and the girls at school found
03:34it of course I do what's your point I was a laughingstock that day you held my hand so I never
03:39felt alone what happened to us we were always such a great team you drove my mom into a tree
03:46okay yeah my sister hates me so happy days are you sure you don't want me to come yes this whole
04:07launch my process is going to be really boring listen I'm going to post your mom's letter while
04:11I'm in Yavvy Creek okay yeah who's up for some footy hey you're going down no don't throw that
04:17inside dad'll kill you sorry I'll get my runners on oh hey listen thank you for this he really needs
04:26the distraction I don't think he has any idea how long this adoption process could take it's a big
04:31day for everybody yeah listen thank you you know for what you shared with me I really want to give
04:37him a safe and loving home the way Gary gave you one well he's a lucky kid I feel pretty lucky too
04:43actually you know how you said you brought things over from New Zealand hold on to the memories
04:49and that's what this is to me yeah I get it it's the meaning behind it connection with your mom
04:58the thing is I've wanted Lacey to be back part of our family for ages and you think maybe by giving
05:07her that it'll be a step in the right direction I'm just not sure I can part with it am you being
05:12unfair it's it's not my place to say but I can see how much it means to you so I guess it's worth
05:19asking if you were to give up the ring would it actually solve anything with your sister
05:23you're not letting me get past you that easily are you yeah my ego can't take another beating
05:35yes I'm done finish you're getting too good maybe you're just getting too old
05:46I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that I was only joking I know I know you must be settling in
05:54all right then yeah I think so that's good that's what we all want for you everyone's been so nice
06:02to me especially Rue I don't know why she cares so much no she just does mate I remember having those
06:09kind of thoughts when I was your age really yeah I had a little sister who was a bit of a handful so
06:14I'd always find myself picking up odd jobs to do trying to help out so the foster parents wouldn't
06:19give up on us I'll go fill these up all right I'll race you go on three yeah one two three
06:27she gets everything she wants it's so unfair well how did Jo come across the ring in the first place
06:40well she said the dad gave it to her but she probably slipped it off of mom's finger
06:43okay maybe not look I get why you're upset but it kind of does sound like maybe you both deserve
06:53the ring so what we should draw up a custody agreement no I'm not saying that baby I'm just
06:58saying I can see both sides no after what she did to mom she doesn't deserve a thing
07:02okay she bangs on about family but she doesn't care about how I feel well have you explained to
07:09her why you want the ring what it means to you yes she already knows does she or is it just insults
07:15that she heard from you today look all I'm saying is that I think it's time for you two to have an
07:22actual grown-up conversation
07:24run up run up quick oh no no put it down put it down put it down put it down there
07:32nice how's that work good go try to get past me ready

09:02eh kay
09:05woah
09:09thanks for sticking around
09:12I think some fresh air couldn't hurt yeah am I
09:16you're full of surprises you know that right
09:19I thought
09:21I was just complicated
09:24well as you can see
09:25my life isn't exactly problem free either
09:28any idea what you're gonna do
09:32Giving the ring back to Lacey won't change her mind.
09:35She'll still blame me for mum's death.
09:40What is it?
09:44It was a car accident.
09:48I was driving.
09:51So sorry.
09:52I just can't even remember what happened.
09:55It's like my brain is blocked out.
09:58But the police investigated and said I wasn't at fault.
10:03So why is Lacey still blaming you then?
10:05It's just...
10:07I can't accept that sometimes bad things happen for no reason.
10:13When my...
10:14oldest brother died,
10:17there was a lot of guilt and anger.
10:20A lot of accusations were going around.
10:23It took my family a long time to get past it.
10:26But we did.
10:27I hope Lacey and I can too.
10:31It's not just about us, you know.
10:32Other people get caught in the crossfire.
10:39Think I could?
10:40Yeah.
10:41Lacey wants to meet up.
10:43This is a mistake.
10:44Hey, you're just nervous, it's all.
10:47Just breathe.
10:48Say what you need to say.
10:49And try not to pick a fight.
10:51Do you want me to stay?
10:52No.
10:52I can do this.
11:04Hi.
11:06Come in.
11:07So, this is where you've been staying.
11:16Nice.
11:17Which one's your room?
11:19Well, you're not here for a house tour.
11:21Why am I here?
11:24Take a seat.
11:25Do you remember the day that Dad took us to the jeweler and he let us pick out the ring?
11:38I remember him looking like he was going to cry when he saw the price of the one we chose.
11:42Yeah, well, that vow renewal was pretty special.
11:48It was the last day that we were all in one place and happy.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Mum was so in love.
11:58It's why I want the ring.
12:00It's how I want to remember.
12:03Why do you think I wear it so close to my heart?
12:05Well, I just don't think it's fair that you get the ring.
12:12Okay.
12:14But for Dad's sake, we can't keep fighting about it.
12:23No.
12:25I'm worried about him.
12:27That's why I didn't make a fuss when he sold the house.
12:29I can't tell you how many times I found him out in the barbecue area all by himself in the middle of the night.
12:39He's still grieving, Lacey.
12:41And all this, you and me, the ring, none of it's helping.
12:46Maybe there's another solution.
12:53Well, Cash said he's nearly ready for the make.
12:55Oh, perfect.
12:56And there you go.
12:57You right?
12:59Hey, listen, how was your shift?
13:01You must be missing Irene.
13:03Oh, I miss her terribly.
13:04The diner's very empty without her.
13:07Very glad to be here with my family and friends.
13:10Can I help?
13:11No, I got this.
13:13When you said you did odd jobs as a kid, what sort of stuff did you do?
13:17Oh, just do whatever needed doing.
13:18I'd chop up the wood, I'd mow the lawns, just do anything I could.
13:24In fact, I actually got a part-time job in town at one point.
13:26So, what's going on here?
13:30You two aren't mucking about with my Barbie, are you?
13:32Absolutely not, sir.
13:33Just getting her started for you.
13:34Right, thanks.
13:35I'll go set the table.
13:35I can do that.
13:37Hey, why don't you stay out here and learn the idea of barbecuing from the man in charge?
13:40You ever cooked on a Barbie before?
13:47How's Cohen going out there?
13:49Never seen a kid more at home.
13:52The key to it all is the temperature of the plate.
13:57Right now, if you're cooking bangers like this, it's good to cook them a bit first before your butterfly.
14:02What does that mean?
14:03What's this for?
14:12I can't remember the last time I bought you a wine.
14:18Well, look at you two.
14:21Don't get too excited.
14:24You text and say anything about your sister coming?
14:27So, what's all this about?
14:36We've come to an agreement about the ring.
14:39It was Lacey's idea.
14:42We want you to keep the ring.
14:44We know it was very special to you two.
14:47And this way, there's nothing for us to fight over.
15:06I'm on.
15:07No, please stay.
15:09I did what I came to do.
15:17I'll get you a drink.
15:20Hey, you've gone a while.
15:33How'd you go?
15:34Good.
15:35It's all sorted.
15:37Dad gets the ring.
15:39You know, that does sound to me like a compromise.
15:42Yes.
15:43You're right.
15:44Ooh, there's progress.
15:45It does feel better to, you know, let it go.
15:50So what now?
15:51Are you guys talking again?
15:52Well, no, nothing's changed.
15:54You just spent all that time together.
15:56Yeah, it was just to sort out the ring.
15:57Now it's done.
15:58We don't need to speak ever again.
16:04Tonight felt like real progress.
16:06Lacey might have walked out, but at least she walked in.
16:10It was just good to finally see you both getting along.
16:13Yeah.
16:15You approach her at the right moment.
16:17She's, uh, actually reasonable.
16:20Who knew?
16:23You all right?
16:24The irony.
16:29I gave your mum an eternity ring.
16:32No.
16:34It's not fair, is it?
16:35It was pretty clear what this ring means to the two of you, but it means a lot to me, too.
16:44Dad, you should have said no when I asked for it.
16:46Well, I wanted you to be okay.
16:49I don't want you worrying about me.
16:50I do, though.
16:52People don't.
16:55I'd better swing by the station.
16:59I'll see you at home.
17:00Yeah, don't work too hard.
17:06Hey.
17:07Hey.
17:07Thanks for letting me overshare earlier.
17:10Oh, anytime.
17:11You doing better?
17:12I had a little chat with Lacey.
17:14And you're smiling about it.
17:15That's new.
17:16I think we've finally turned the corner.
17:19That's good.
17:20Did you tell your dad?
17:21Because he didn't look so good.
17:25He doesn't smile much lately.
17:27But I think Lacey and I can help with that.
17:30Oh.
17:31Good luck.
17:35Well, that was a flaming good feed.
17:38Did you just compliment your own cooking?
17:40Ten cones.
17:41I'll give you a hand with that, Maz.
17:42Oh, no, you're a guest, Cash.
17:43Sit down.
17:44Yeah, guests aren't allowed to help.
17:45I can do it.
17:46I'm not a guest.
17:47Well, if I'm off the hook, then I'll head on down the road.
17:51Thanks so much for having me.
17:52Oh, it's our pleasure.
17:53And maybe we can do this again after my adoption's finalised.
17:57Hey, you know, when that is finalised, we'll definitely need to celebrate.
18:01You're right, mate.
18:02Joining the family's a real good excuse to have a party.
18:05Maybe you could make those shepherd's bar again?
18:07Oh, darling, yes, of course.
18:08Listen, thank you so much for coming.
18:10He loves spending time with you.
18:11It's my pleasure.
18:12All right, mate.
18:13See you.
18:13Bye, see you.
18:32Thanks for coming.
18:33Dad's okay with the ring, right?
18:35I thought it was all sorted.
18:36Yeah.
18:38We need to talk about Dad.
18:40I think he's really struggling.
18:43Okay.
18:43Why are you telling me?
18:45We need to do something.
18:47We could encourage him to go to counselling or maybe spend some time with him together.
18:51Look, if you want to have Dad, go for it.
18:52There's no way in this.
18:53Hang on.
18:54I thought everything changed.
18:56Why?
18:56Because you bought me a glass of wine.
18:59Lacey, Dad's still grieving.
19:01Us fighting only makes that worse.
19:03And this is my fault.
19:04He needs us both.
19:10You're right about one thing.
19:13Dad spends a lot of time looking after me, but there is a reason for that.
19:17Here we go.
19:19When I think about the accident, I freeze.
19:23It's like I have these panic attacks, I can't breathe, and I'm still there, reliving what
19:31happened to Mom over and over again.
19:33Sucks to be here.
19:35Lacey, I'm...
19:36No, no, no.
19:36I'm serious.
19:37Save it.
19:38Nothing that you will say is going to make this my problem.
19:40I'm so sick of my family.
19:50I have, like, one conversation with Joe, and she just acts like we're besties again.
19:54What did she say?
19:54Like, the victim card.
19:55Again.
19:56It's like she now has panic attacks after she thinks about the accident.
20:00Okay, maybe she has PTSD.
20:02Yeah, whatever it is.
20:03I don't care.
20:03All right.
20:04Well, are you hearing yourself?
20:05What's that supposed to mean?
20:09You know what?
20:10No.
20:11Never mind.
20:12No, you've got something to say.
20:13Say it.
20:13Oh, you want to know?
20:14Yes.
20:14This version of you that acts like this and talks like this, it's not the Lacey that I
20:21fell in love with.
20:31Morning.
20:32Hey, how'd it go with your sister?
20:33Oh, hey, what's happened?
20:35Hey.
20:38I was wrong.
20:41I thought we were on the right track, but she's never going to forgive me.
20:46You're okay.
20:46Nothing's ever going to change.
20:48All right, just breathe.
20:49Hey, it's okay.
20:50It's okay.
20:50Just breathe.
20:51Just breathe.
20:51Yeah?
20:52Well, take a seat.
20:52Take a seat.
20:53I've got you.
20:53I've got you.
20:54There you go.
20:55Just breathe.
20:56Just breathe.
20:57Okay.
20:58Nasty slow.
20:59It's good.
21:00I've got you.
21:02I don't know.
21:03Jo did something that was completely unforgivable, and she's taken no responsibility for it.
21:13I cannot just get over that.
21:15You're so sure about what happened the day that your mum died?
21:17What if you're wrong?
21:18I've changed my mind about the money.
21:22It's an extremely generous offer, and I'd like to accept it.
21:25That's great.
21:26I mean, that's all I've wanted.
21:27I'm going to use it to hire a private investigator to look into the accident.
21:31Police have already done that.
21:32I know.
21:33And they couldn't figure it out, so let's see if someone else can.
21:36I know.
21:37I know.
21:37I know.
