00:00I can't keep doing all the things I've been doing.
00:11I think it's time that I took a step back from the diner.
00:15Any second thoughts about today?
00:16No, love.
00:17Selling my share of the diner is the right thing to do.
00:20I can't help, but I'm going between sad and guilty today.
00:23You've got absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.
00:26The contract's arrived, hasn't it?
00:27Yeah, courier, just drop them off.
00:31Best of luck to her.
00:33Thanks, Jim.
00:38Irene forgot my name.
00:40It's going to keep happening, isn't it?
00:41Irene's been working at this diner for decades.
00:45She's a huge part of people's lives.
00:48How are you?
00:51You tell me, and then we'll both know.
00:57We make things how we want it, oh.
01:02Because it's in our blood.
01:06Sometimes that's getting a bummer.
01:08But we light up like a summer.
01:12Because it's in our blood.
01:15We want it so much.
01:17Oh, you lose my new man, you lose.
01:20What do I lose?
01:21Because guess what?
01:23I feel like a winner.
01:26Yeah, so we have to head off and play footy with your little buddy.
01:29No.
01:30I don't have the energy for Cohen today.
01:32What's he going to do instead?
01:34He's just going to pester people with questions about his adoption.
01:37He can't wait.
01:38That's really nice.
01:39He's so excited about his future.
01:41I'm not as excited as I am about our future together, hey?
01:44My beautiful bride-to-be, hey?
01:46So cheesy.
01:47So cheesy.
01:49Who's that?
01:51It's Dad.
01:53He's just checking in.
01:55Okay.
01:56Well, you didn't throw your phone into the ocean, so that's progress.
01:59Yeah.
02:00He and I have actually been talking a lot, and I...
02:04I don't want to say anything to you or anyone else, because I...
02:07I don't know how it would turn out, but...
02:10I have decided to invite him to the wedding.
02:14Don't make it a big deal.
02:15It's a big deal, though.
02:16It's not.
02:16But it's a very big deal.
02:18It's a really big deal.
02:20It's a huge deal.
02:21Okay.
02:24Does the wedding suddenly feel far away to you?
02:28Yeah.
02:28Yeah, it does.
02:30Maybe it's like one of those things that's just like suddenly around the corner before you know it.
02:35Yeah.
02:37It'd be nice if we didn't have to wait for so long, though, wouldn't it?
02:39What are you saying?
02:42We bring the wedding forward?
02:45Why wouldn't we?
02:45Because we barely planned anything for one.
02:48Then we barely have to cancel anything.
02:50And when you and I are motivated, we can do anything.
02:54Yeah, I mean, okay, let's do it.
02:56Okay, let's do it.
02:59I can't wait to kiss him, right?
03:02I can't wait either.
03:03I think it's important to remember that no matter what Irene says, you just can't get offended or hurt.
03:14Yeah, of course not.
03:16Because ultimately, we want to be supportive and respectful.
03:19And how do I respectfully ask my friend, did you just forget who I am?
03:25I don't know.
03:25I guess you crack a joke or you remind her gently.
03:29Yeah, you're probably right.
03:30I mean, you know Irene better than almost anyone.
03:35So how do you think she'd want you to act?
03:37I think she'd probably want me to keep my mouth shut.
03:42Okay, well, that's your answer then.
03:50You are still a good friend to her, though.
03:53No matter who remembers what.
03:54Who are all these people?
04:10Relatives of yours?
04:11Not family, but close enough.
04:13Found family, then?
04:15Most of them have stayed here at some point or another over the years.
04:18Hang on, you've had a lot of house guests.
04:23How does Dana stack up?
04:25She's a bright enough spark.
04:27Yeah, she is.
04:28She definitely keeps me on my toes.
04:30You don't need to hang around.
04:32Didn't need to walk me home either.
04:34Oh, I know.
04:36Take care.
04:37I will.
04:38First, I'm going to put the kettle on.
04:40Make yourself at home, why don't you?
04:42One of my greatest skills.
04:45How do you take your tea?
04:47Hang on a minute.
04:48Did Dana send you here to spy on me?
04:51No, no, no.
04:52I swear, she has nothing to do with this.
04:54I'm just after a bit of wisdom.
04:56I'm sure you've come to the right place.
04:59Yeah, well, apparently, you're a bit of a legend around these parts.
05:03Ben Ingram.
05:04Who said that?
05:05Yeah, not important.
05:07Uh, sugar?
05:10On the house.
05:12Why?
05:12What's the occasion?
05:13Well, Mac's away, so I'm in charge.
05:15Oh, where is she?
05:15Hmm, she didn't feel like coming in, and I was not about to argue with her.
05:18Is she all right?
05:19She's just been in a mood.
05:21Snappy, even with Levi.
05:22I'm more than happy to steer clear.
05:27Okay, so, the question is, is a wedding in three months doable?
05:33I mean, we'll have the marriage license by them, and that's the main thing, right?
05:36Three months it is.
05:38Um, did I just hear what I think I heard?
05:41You did, yes?
05:42Yeah, we're excited.
05:43We don't want to wait.
05:45Okay.
05:46One, very happy for you both.
05:48And two, this gives us, like, zero time to get organized.
05:50Oh, no, babe, you don't have to do anything.
05:51You just be there on the day.
05:53Excuse you, maid of honor.
05:54I have very important responsibilities, and I'm taking them very seriously.
05:58All right, I'm going to find someone to cover, and then I'm tapping...
06:00No, you don't need to do that.
06:01Um, okay.
06:03Marley is never allowed to go away again.
06:06I mean, she is out of control when she's out of love, so.
06:09Do we just escape before she comes back?
06:11Do we run?
06:12Babe, you were on fire with your ideas today.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Yes.
06:15Let's run.
06:15Uh-huh.
06:16How'd you go?
06:29I gave her every opportunity to change her mind.
06:33So it's done, then?
06:34Yep.
06:35Irene signed over her heart.
06:37So now it's just me.
06:39So, I guess congratulations are in order.
06:42Oh, it's not really a celebration.
06:44Well, when you become the sole owner of a business like this, it's a big deal.
06:48With everything that Irene is going through, I would take all of this back if I could change
06:52anything.
06:54Anyway, I'm going outside to close the coffee cup.
06:57Bye-bye, baby.
06:59Oh, you're kidding.
07:00Problem?
07:02Oh, it's just work.
07:03I was trying to clear the slate so I could be here for Leah.
07:07Oh, you go.
07:08Well, I'll look after her.
07:10Sure?
07:11Absolutely.
07:11She's in good hands.
07:13Thanks, mate.
07:15Wow, so this has actually been a huge, life-changing day for you.
07:22That diner is the reason I got out of bed for the last 20 years.
07:26There's plenty of reasons to go out of bed.
07:28A job is just one of them.
07:30Not a very exciting one, if you ask me.
07:32Remind me again what work it is you do.
07:35Well, that's just it.
07:36I don't work.
07:38I meet people.
07:40See things.
07:41You know, I enjoy the fruits of life.
07:43Not sure what fruits you're eating.
07:47Well, I just, I try to focus on the things that I want to do.
07:51And your schedule is clear.
07:54Great.
07:55Let's focus on the things that you want to be doing.
07:58And if you need some suggestions, I happen to be known as a pretty fun guy.
08:02Go on, then.
08:05Enlighten me.
08:07Fun guy.
08:10Hey.
08:12Too late.
08:13I've already turned the machine off.
08:14I'm not here for a cuppa.
08:16I'm here to talk.
08:17Come on.
08:18Give us a minute, eh?
08:27It's a flaming tragedy how fast this is all happening with Irene.
08:31Yeah.
08:31That's why who owns the diner should be the last thing on anyone's mind.
08:36You know, recently, I got a very impressive bait shop.
08:44I am aware.
08:46It's given me a whole new lease on life.
08:49Wouldn't have happened, though, unless I'd lost the old one first.
08:52Yeah, but the difference is, you didn't have a choice.
08:57Now, Irene could have taken her time before leaving.
09:00Well, she worked out what was right for her, and she did it.
09:04And good luck to her.
09:06But, of course, what that means to you, it's a brand new chapter.
09:11Whether I like it or not.
09:15What you've got to focus on now is just going forward.
09:20There's no future in the past.
09:22Surely we should be getting ready for the wedding.
09:36We can multitask.
09:38That's a good point.
09:39There we go.
09:41Ding, ding, ding.
09:44That is the sound of wedding bells telling us to get to work.
09:46Oh, where'd you get these from?
09:51I have my sources.
09:52You know, people are surprisingly supportive when they hear there's a wedding emergency.
09:55This is not an emergency.
09:56You know what?
09:56Now, go on.
09:57Shoo, you're dismissed.
09:58No grooms in the bridal suite.
09:59No arguments from me.
10:01We might go update our celebrate.
10:02Please don't leave me with her.
10:03Okay, I want you to mark down the pages of the one you like.
10:05Except that one.
10:06You are not wearing that.
10:08I'm not ready to make these kinds of decisions.
10:10Okay, well, get ready because the clock is ticking.
10:13How are you the bossy one right now?
10:14This is my wedding.
10:16You will thank me for the push when you are walking down the aisle in the perfect dress.
10:19Are you going to go see Irene tonight?
10:29Uh, no, no, no can do.
10:31I've got a committee meeting.
10:33Hey, you'll be home though, won't you?
10:35I don't think she should be left on her own.
10:37Yes.
10:38Harper's going to be working late.
10:39I'm going to be there.
10:41I just wish I could spend more time with her.
10:44Maybe you should rework the roster.
10:46Do less patrols.
10:47It's probably a good idea.
10:49Hey, you want a sec?
10:50Yeah, mate.
10:51Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:52I'll take this up to the garage for you.
10:54Well, slow and focus, will you?
10:58Yeah.
11:03Okay, so we want to move the wedding forward and Eden and I want to get married sooner.
11:06Oh, when were you thinking?
11:08We were thinking three months from now.
11:09I can send you all the details.
11:11Haven't either of you heard that patience is a virtue?
11:13Yeah, we know.
11:14We know we're going to have to hustle.
11:15But we're ready.
11:17So we'll lock that in?
11:18Yeah, I'll open my diary as soon as I get back to the office.
11:20Awesome.
11:29Hey.
11:32You look a million miles away.
11:34I'm fine.
11:35I'll just keep looking up and just think that I'm going to see Irene walk through the kitchen.
11:40Yeah.
11:42The end of an era.
11:44But Alf reminded me that it also means new beginnings.
11:49He fits a lot of sage advice under that hat.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Yeah.
11:54Things might be changing around here, but maybe that's okay.
11:56숙ique.
12:08Woohoo!
12:10Woohoo!
12:12Woo!
12:13Woo!
12:15Woo!
12:19Woo-hoo!
12:20많ana.
12:21Hi!
12:22What did I miss?
12:23We are having a party, love, to celebrate my official retirement.
12:28And her new dance partner.
12:29It's a win-win-win.
12:31Is that three wins?
12:32Yeah, because you're here now.
12:35Irene, I don't think I've ever seen you dance before.
12:37Well, get used to it, honey.
12:39I better check the potatoes.
12:41Thank you, chef.
12:47This was not on my bingo card.
12:50Oh, no, it wasn't?
12:51Oh, was it on your dance card?
12:58For what?
12:59You should have had a really good night, it seems.
13:01Had?
13:02Oh, no, no, no, my love.
13:04The night is but young.
13:07All right, how about this one?
13:11It has the neckline you like, but it's way more modern.
13:13I mean, that could work if we were getting married in a spaceship.
13:18Hey, I told you to beat it, right?
13:20No peeking.
13:20I don't think you'd still be here.
13:22Oh, I said I'd be back at work like an hour ago.
13:25All right, I need you to keep going when he's not looking, obviously.
13:27Yeah, there you are.
13:29How'd you go?
13:31Hey.
13:33Oh, that's a lot of doggies.
13:35Yeah.
13:36They're not mine.
13:37They're all Abbie's.
13:38I did a grand total of...
13:39Oh, look at that.
13:40Absolutely none.
13:41Well, at least you have a better idea of what you don't want.
13:46Hello?
13:48Nobody home across the room.
13:49Hey, John.
13:50Hey, John.
13:50Look, if this is about the wedding, maybe we could talk about it tomorrow, Ed.
13:53It's completely burnt out.
13:54Yeah, so burnt out.
13:56Yeah, no, this will only take a minute.
13:58This is about the date change?
13:59We understand we haven't given you very much time to prepare.
14:01Yeah, that's the thing.
14:03I've had a proper look at my calendar and unfortunately I can't make this work.
14:08Well, okay, we'll look if the date's an issue.
14:11I'm sure we could shift that over.
14:12No, no, there are no dates around that time that will work.
14:15So I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to marry you guys.
14:18Is everything all right?
14:19Everything's good.
14:20Yeah, yeah.
14:21And I'll find you a great alternative, so don't worry.
14:23John, I'm sure that we can make this work.
14:25Yeah.
14:25No, no, I have to step down.
14:29Anyway.
14:29All right, are you going to eat that?
14:38Yes.
14:43Look, I'm going to say something to you, Rhett.
14:47You really, um, you really showed up for Irene last night and I was very impressed.
14:53Ah, she's a firecracker, you know?
14:54I can see why everyone loves her.
14:56Yes, I can see what you're doing.
14:58Well, what am I doing?
14:59You're taking special care of my landlady, which is a very nice way to show a girl's heart.
15:05So, thank you.
15:07No need.
15:08Helping people is actually really fulfilling.
15:11You should try it.
15:12I'm like a nurse and a lifesaver.
15:14See, too many jobs and not enough time to give back.
15:17You're right.
15:17Yeah.
15:18Oh, look, it's a happy couple.
15:21Hello.
15:22How's the wedding planning going?
15:23Any disasters yet?
15:25Oh.
15:27Actual disasters?
15:28No.
15:28No.
15:29No.
15:29Uh, but our celebrant pulled out.
15:32Is that because he changed the day?
15:34Apparently, yeah.
15:35Yeah, he says he can't do anything around that time.
15:36Yeah, he didn't exactly go into detail, so.
15:41Yeah, that's right.
15:42Their names are Cash and Eden.
15:43Lovely couple.
15:43All right, I'll text you their details then.
15:47Thanks for stepping in.
15:49Bye.
15:51You okay?
15:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:53Once I get a shot of this, I'll be buzzing as per usual.
15:55I was worried about you yesterday, with Irene calling you Jet.
15:59Oh, thanks.
16:00Thanks.
16:00I'm fine.
16:01I know there's going to be moments like that.
16:03But I'm not taking it personally.
16:05Plenty more good times to come.
16:07All right.
16:11Ready.
16:13Didn't realise it was Arts and Crafts Day.
16:15Oh, very funny.
16:17No, no, no.
16:17So, I was passing the hardware store, and I had a little brainwave, so I went in.
16:23Any excuse?
16:23No, no, no, no, no.
16:24I was looking for inspiration for you at this place.
16:31You want me to repaint the diner?
16:33Might be fun to give it a refresh.
16:35Ah, I only signed the papers yesterday.
16:37Yeah, I know, but you're also saying that things are changing anyway.
16:40Yeah, yeah, but the walls and the furniture, that's a big, expensive change.
16:44Well, okay, so you do the menus, or you do the benchtop.
16:47Whatever.
16:48The point is, this is entirely up to you.
16:58Hey.
16:58Hey, how was your breakfast?
17:00Yeah, nice.
17:02You pair had me in absolute stitches last night.
17:06That fella of yours is such a good egg.
17:09Yeah, he's pretty great.
17:11In fact, I'm taking a leaf out of his book.
17:13Hmm?
17:14I've packed myself for lunch, and I'm taking a walk up to the lighthouse.
17:18Oh, that sounds fun.
17:20Do you want to join me?
17:21I've got to shift later, but thank you.
17:23You sure?
17:24I've packed enough sandwiches for a small army.
17:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:27I've got work.
17:29All right, what's the matter?
17:31Nothing.
17:32Come on.
17:33Either you're jealous of my big day out, or there's something bothering you.
17:36What is it?
17:37It's nothing.
17:38Honestly, I'm going to text him later.
17:40It's all good.
17:41Sonny.
17:42No.
17:43Well, if it's not Sonny, it must be John.
17:46All right.
17:47What's he done?
17:49There you go.
17:49She's available for your new dates, and she's promised to look after you.
17:52Okay.
17:53John, I'm going to give this lady a call, but if you need anything, I want you to let me know.
17:56Okay?
17:56Thanks, man.
17:57Hey.
18:00Hey.
18:01I hear you lost your celebrant.
18:03Do you know what's going on with him?
18:05Leave it with me, love.
18:09Oh, there you are.
18:10I was going to call you, see if you're free for lunch.
18:11Yeah, I'm not.
18:13I'm too busy clocking you over the head.
18:15What for?
18:16Turning down Cash and Eden's wedding.
18:19Oh, well, that news traveled fast.
18:20Well, are you surprised?
18:21The whole town's talking about it, John.
18:23It doesn't make any sense.
18:24You practically broke your fuffle valve trying to become this celebrant.
18:29Well, some things are more important, Kim.
18:31Whatever this is, it had better not be about me.
18:34Of course it's about you.
18:36Well, then you get Cash back here immediately.
18:38I don't want to be a burden to you.
18:40You called me Jet.
18:43What?
18:45Yesterday, when you were going off to sign the contracts, you thought I was Jet.
18:50No, I didn't.
18:51I was there, Irene.
18:53So was Leah.
18:53We both heard it.
18:56So no, I'm not going to do Cash's wedding.
18:59I'm going to spend my time with you.
19:01Love, I am sorry.
19:03All right?
19:03It was a mistake.
19:04No.
19:06I don't want you to forget me.
19:10And I won't let that happen.
19:12And I don't want to talk about it.
19:13Oh, come on.
19:27This is supposed to be the exciting part.
19:29I just don't see myself in any of these.
19:31All right.
19:32Well, if the magazines don't inspire you, then I have a better idea.
19:36Is it to not do this at all?
19:37Because that would be great.
19:37No.
19:38We should go to Yabby Creek and try dresses on for real.
19:41Seriously?
19:42Yes.
19:42I mean, I could book us into a fitting and then we can ask Mac for the same day off work.
19:45Where is Mac?
19:47She said she wasn't feeling well, so she stayed home.
19:49Well, that's two days in a row.
19:50She who cares?
19:50Nothing serious, right?
19:51You know, I don't know, honestly.
19:53You know what?
19:53I'm going to go check on Mac.
19:54Yeah.
19:55Are you just trying to skip out on the shopping?
19:56No, Abby, I want to make sure that Mac is okay.
20:00You know Levi's partner, our boss.
20:01Remember her?
20:02What about the coffee?
20:04Wait.
20:05Okay, hold on.
20:06You made your point, but there's just too many options.
20:08All right.
20:09No, no.
20:09One more.
20:10One more.
20:11What do you think of?
20:13Forest Splendor.
20:14Um, I'm thinking I'm healthy.
20:18I'm relaxed.
20:20I'm vegetarian.
20:20Ooh.
20:22Okay.
20:23Marilyn would love that.
20:25Look, I will put them away.
20:27Okay?
20:28Maybe we can run through some options later.
20:30Maybe.
20:30All right.
20:31I will get my people to reach out to your people.
20:33Ready?
20:35Well, what's going on here?
20:37Irene.
20:39Oh, boy.
20:41Things really do change quickly around here, don't they?
20:44We were just joking around.
20:47I'm out of the picture now, Leah.
20:49So whatever I was holding you back from.
20:52You weren't.
20:53That's not what this is.
20:54No, this is yours now.
20:56It's got nothing to do with me.
20:57I've been labelling all my photos.
21:09I want to hang on to every single memory for as long as I possibly can.
21:15The pictures on the wall are whispering my name.
21:21You're holding on to stories that no longer have a place.
21:27So while I still got time, I'll pick flowers in my mind.
21:34I'll be dancing with the embers as they're rising.
21:39Your illness doesn't have to dictate what comes next.
21:42You still get to decide that.
21:43While I got time, I won't lose you from my life one second before I have to.
21:56Say goodbye to a legend.
21:59Don't miss a moment of home and away.
