00:00I have booked a hotel for us tonight and don't worry it is far enough away so that sticky big
00:13John Palmer can't swoop in. You're welcome. Is there any chance you can cancel? Irene has Alzheimer's
00:19and she needs me and I actually have the skills to take care of her. She's cancelled her holiday.
00:24I feel like I'm a burden. I need a break and you need to go away with your fella so I am checking you
00:31out for 48 hours. We've come to an agreement. We want you to keep the ring. We know it was very special
00:38to you too and this way there's nothing for us to fight over. I have these panic attacks. I can't
00:44breathe and I'm still there. Reliving what happened to mum. Nothing that you will say is going to make
00:48this my problem. This version of you that acts like this and talks like this it's not the Lacey that
00:53I fell in love with. She's never going to forgive me. Nothing's ever going to change.
00:57Well take a seat. Take a seat. I've got you. I've got you. You'll get it.
01:08You think I want to feel this way? I can't help it. Yeah well you could try. And what am I supposed
01:12to do? Buying to Jo's police feel sorry for me? You sure it's an act? Oh great. Now she's got you
01:18feeling sorry for her too. Look Jo did something that was completely unforgivable and she's taken
01:24no responsibility for it. I cannot just get over that. Yeah I know babe. I know. But I just feel like
01:31it makes you so angry that you can't see straight. And what am I meant to be seeing?
01:37Enlighten me. You're so sure about what happened the day that your mum died.
01:41What if you're wrong? That's good. Just breathe. That's good. Nice and slow. Good. Good.
01:57Sorry. Don't be. It's okay. No it's not. I shouldn't have to deal with this. It's all right.
02:04It's okay. As long as you're okay. I'm fine. It's just a panic attack. I get them sometimes.
02:11We'll sip it off. Just the train wreck of a relationship I have with my sister.
02:18I thought you said things were coming good. What happened? I just want to talk about it,
02:24especially with you. Why not? Might help. New friendship and all.
02:34Well I don't feel right leaving you alone like this. There's someone you can talk to.
02:39And my dad. Well you're going to give me his number and I can call him.
02:45Yeah it wasn't a big job in the end but she should run like a dream now. Thanks Justin. Appreciate it.
02:51Hey. Morning. What can I get you? Coffee. Strong please.
02:56Rough night? Oh just a few things on my mind. I know what that feels like. I did have a small
03:02parenting breakthrough yesterday though. My daughters actually agreed on something. Wow.
03:07Congratulations. Take the win when you came right? I planned to. It was tough selling the family home but
03:15at least it led to something good. There you go. Good things do come when people sell.
03:20You guys think you're moving on? No. Irene is selling me her share of the diner. I'll be the sole
03:26owner. The contract should arrive today. Congratulations to you too then. Yeah hello David Langham.
03:38If you need me to hang out with you today. It's a signature on a piece of paper I think I can manage.
03:45It's a bit more than that. Yeah. I know. But you're not using me as an excuse to get out
03:52of boot camp are you? Well it's the first one back. It's going to hurt.
03:57Well you know what they say darling. No pain no gain. Well at least the instructor can't get mad when
04:09it's his own kid that's screaming the roof off. Oh no Archie will be too much of a distraction.
04:14I'm going to drop him off with Maz. Anyway I better get going. Okay love. See you later.
04:24Morning. Morning. Oh hello. For you. Really? You shouldn't have. I didn't. Leah said they're on the
04:31house. I bet you fought that real hard. So any second thoughts about today? No love. No.
04:39Selling my share of the diner is the right thing to do. I'd ask how you're feeling about it but I'm afraid
04:44I'd got the same treatment as Dana and get the boot. Well she's due back sometime today.
04:50Let's just hope a bit of space has shown her the error of her ways.
04:54Oh back to reality. You know one night away is really not enough. Wow we can keep going for a while
05:03yet. You want to go for a swim? No. Go home. You're ditching me already? Yeah for a woman with
05:10Alzheimer's. Don't complain. You are just counting the minutes till the 48 hours is up aren't you?
05:15Maybe. But also so what? Maybe Irene sent you packing for a reason. You do remember that right?
05:20Yes. She was not a fan of uh over intense Dana. Okay so maybe try not to crowd her when you get home?
05:26I'm not gonna crowd her. But also she needs my help whether or not she's willing to admit it.
05:30All right. Hey bye. Bye.
05:43Do you have a class or something to get to? It's okay. We've got time.
05:49It's great you stuck here with me. All right stop apologizing. Like I said it's all good. Hey you okay?
05:58Yeah. Thanks for the call. No worries. I'll leave you to it yeah. Hey. You can call me anytime.
06:07Thanks. So what happened?
06:18Doesn't look like an act to me. Hey I got you.
06:28Okay I'll do that. I will. I promise. Anyway Jet. I gotta go. I'll call you back later mate. Okay. All right. Bye.
06:38Jet sends his love.
06:39Ah wonderful. How is he?
06:42Oh he's good. I'm more worried about you.
06:45Well quit it will you? I'm fine honestly.
06:49Sure I am. I'm gonna miss owning the diner. But you know I've got a heartbeat. I got good friends.
07:00And I got this place.
07:03Oh boy.
07:03If these walls could talk.
07:11You know you're something pretty special. You're not too bad yourself.
07:16Oh my god father.
07:18And if you hadn't loved me and supported me and encouraged me like you do, I wouldn't be here.
07:25You know I'm the best mum that anyone could ever have.
07:28Well, yeah.
07:32Bill we really like having you here. I reckon you like being here. Am I right?
07:36Yeah.
07:37Well then stay. Come on. Where's the hum?
07:43Do you remember when you first came and and you asked if you could stay here permanently?
07:48I reckon we should make it happen.
07:50Really? You're the best ever.
07:51This place has always been a bit of a refuge for people in need.
07:56So we can stay.
07:57Both of us.
07:58Thank you so much.
08:00You don't know what this means to us.
08:02I'm really sorry for hiding out in your house.
08:06Hi.
08:08Ah, well, well, well. Look at that will you? 48 hours on the dot.
08:12Yes. Ta-da.
08:14So, how'd you go?
08:16Good. Just hung out with Sunny. We actually went away for the night.
08:20Wonderful.
08:22Can I get your cup of tea?
08:24All right, girly. Sit down. I'm not about to let history repeat itself.
08:29It's just a tea. There's something over the top about a tea. Right.
08:33Yeah, I think I've got a... I've got an appointment. Um, good luck.
08:38Right. You and I need to get a few things straight.
08:42Irene.
08:42No, no, no. I said no fussing. I mean it.
08:51Here we go.

09:16take a break here you go oh thank you how's it feel being back painful no you don't get to enjoy
09:25this why not it's your fault I'm so unfit I spent nine months carrying your son fair enough
09:32just thought after yesterday maybe things changed but couldn't have been more wrong
09:40I'm sorry sweetheart it's all right I'm the idiot who thought Lacey might actually care for once
09:56all right break's over
09:58I don't think that there's anything wrong with offering to help if I see an opportunity
10:04there is if you see an opportunity every couple of minutes yes well fine point taken mouth shut
10:13but are you going to promise to ask for help if you need it I can promise to try okay good
10:19what do you need actually there is something I need from you yes name it I need you to keep being new
10:28I was kind of hoping for something a little more practical love we've got a terrific arrangement
10:32here don't go reinventing the wheel what are you referring to I don't need you to do my laundry
10:39it was one time but fine wash your own undies I do the cooking okay well I'm doing the cleaning
10:46fine fine me okay anything else yes you can stop offering me flipping cups of tea if I want one
10:54I'll ask so to clarify you do not want anything to change bingo she got it all right well consider
11:03it business as usual thank god now be a pet and pop the kettle on will you doll I need a cuppa after
11:11all of that oh she heard long luck leaves now sure Irene on her way in no she's been waylaid by a fuss
11:19pot of a housemate good it gives me time to accidentally burn my hand on this copper machine
11:24what do you want to go and do that for because then I can't use it to sign a contract of sale
11:28oh baby no I just can't help but I'm going between sad and guilty today okay look sad I will allow but
11:36you've got absolutely nothing to feel guilty about here here I just don't want to benefit
11:41off Irene's misfortune do you think there's anyone else she would rather give her business to no it's
11:46what Irene wants and who knows having all this extra cash to flash about might be liberating
11:52I hope so I just wanted to be happy we all do thank you oh all right well I need to restock the
12:01coffee cart sounds like Irene selling up it's a pretty big deal of course it is why is that I'll
12:08let you explain to the uninitiated Irene's been working at this diner for decades everyone knows
12:15her everyone loves her she's a huge part of people's lives
12:21hey this is Joe all right I saw you guys talking on the balcony yeah yeah she'll be all right
12:34thanks for checking in yeah no worries see you later see ya
12:38so keeping between you know eight to twelve reps that's usually the best for my pet should be
12:44um or you could do that
12:46Tane
12:47I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Joe before
12:52oh sure um I don't know if I helped much I think she just wanted to talk to you
12:57you did help that is
12:59listen um I know we didn't get off to the best start but
13:05it's nice to know that Joe's got someone else looking out for it too
13:09she does right absolutely good look it might help if I understood what triggers these panic attacks
13:20there's no one thing they started after the car accident can't be easy you know you can have
13:30something like that no well you just let me know if there's anything else I can do to help
13:35mate you're already doing it
14:00hi how are you honestly I'm surprised to be here come in thanks
14:09wow nice view Joe said the same thing you two spend way too much time together
14:19I'm more than happy to spend the same amount of time with you
14:23yeah well I think she might need you a bit more
14:25what does that mean
14:27sorry little father-daughter moment on the balcony at salt
14:31she was upset apparently you two had another issue this morning
14:34it's not just this morning dad
14:37I mean yeah we sorted out the ring but it doesn't change what's been going on for the past two years
14:41yeah Lacey listen
14:42no no dad I don't understand how you can forgive her
14:45because she's my daughter and it was an accident
14:48you really believe that don't you
14:51yes
14:51I do
14:54okay
14:55well if it wasn't Joe's fault then tell me how it happened
14:59how did mum die
15:00we've talked about this we've been through the accident report you know as much as I do
15:06okay then talk it through with me again
15:09I wasn't ready to hear it before
15:11I am now
15:13hi
15:19contracts arrived hasn't it
15:22yeah cool you just dropped them off
15:24suddenly feel very overwhelmed
15:27you and me both love
15:29would you like me to come along for moral support
15:33uh no I think we should do this on our own
15:36yeah just the two of us
15:38all the very best for both of you
15:40thanks Jeb
15:42okay
15:50there were no skid marks
15:55we know speed wasn't an issue
15:57and there were no drugs or alcohol found in Joe's system
16:00then you don't think anyone's ever made a mistake at the lab
16:04the lab triple checks everything
16:06so you're sticking to the idea that Joe swerved around an animal
16:10it's a solid theory
16:11but there's no evidence dad
16:13nothing else makes sense
16:14would it help if Joe remembered yeah of course
16:19she conveniently does it
16:20it was a traumatic event
16:22she has blocked it out
16:24so she says
16:26Lacey
16:28I don't have the answers you want
16:30all I can tell you is what I've always told you
16:33there's nothing to suggest
16:35that it was Joe's fault
16:37hey
16:40everything okay
16:42yeah
16:43is it
16:44yeah absolutely
16:45there's actually something else I wanted to talk to you about too
16:49okay

16:53changed my mind about the money

16:58and I'd like to accept it
