00:02Look, if you come near Holly again, you're gonna have to deal with me.
00:05Thank you for protecting me.
00:07The idea of someone hurting you, he is moving to Cheltenham.
00:10You don't need me to protect you.
00:12It's a criminal offence to be on your phone while the engine's running.
00:15But to actually give me a ticket was just so petty.
00:17Put in a call to the council and they like it.
00:19Like what?
00:20An amateur jewellery competition.
00:22Aren't you a little bit curious about who you married?
00:24Could we get to know each other again?
00:26Maybe have a no-pressure dinner?
00:28Remi, please don't-
00:30Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:59Be good friends
01:06Well now that you've told me, we can do something about it.
01:08I know, but I'm just so embarrassed.
01:10Oh, don't be.
01:12No, we'll just, we'll take a look at the budgets, we'll find ways to cut costs, we'll get Irene back on top.
01:18Oh, thanks Susan.
01:20Carl's gonna be so happy that you're not selling a power road.
01:24Oh, I know, I am so relieved.
01:26Come in.
01:28Hello.
01:29Hey.
01:30Hi.
01:31Sorry, I went by the house but Holly said you were here so I just thought I'd...
01:34Sorry.
01:35No, no, no, no.
01:36You okay?
01:37Um, Cara just tried to kiss me.
01:41I was just starting to relax around her and she's made a move.
01:44Well that must have been a surprise.
01:46Um, maybe she got her eyes crossed in the moment?
01:50Yeah, maybe.
01:52I mean, we were getting along.
01:55Once we started talking it was really quite nice.
01:58Oh, that's maybe what Cara wanted.
02:00Just to have a nice time with you.
02:02Yeah, I don't know.
02:03I just think we're in very different places.
02:06I think we had different ideas about what this dinner was meant to be.
02:09Well what did you want from it?
02:10I just want to get to know her.
02:12But it needed to happen without any pressure.
02:20Okay, so should I enter something glam and shines bright like a diamond?
02:26Or go simple and refined?
02:28Go big.
02:29Hit him with Showstopper.
02:30Right.
02:31Yes.
02:32But I don't want to seem like I'm trying too hard.
02:35Totally.
02:36Well, this one is very cover girl.
02:39He'll blow their minds.
02:41That is the goal.
02:42I love doing this stuff but I just wish it wasn't eating into so much of my free time.
02:47Your dad and I are pretty overdue for a date night.
02:52You two do seem pretty good though.
02:55In most ways, yes.
02:57But in one particular way.
03:00Okay, I don't need to know that.
03:02Sorry.
03:04You must be glad that Bowman's moved.
03:12I should go check on Cara.
03:14Okay.
03:15Bye.
03:21Yeah.
03:22I am really glad.
03:23It's a big relief.
03:24Good.
03:25Yeah.
03:32Just me.
03:33We were this close to having a great night.
03:43Awkward vibe was fading.
03:45We were laughing.
03:46Getting along.
03:49It felt familiar.
03:53That's good.
03:54Isn't it?
03:56Yeah, it was.
03:59Until I tried to kiss her.
04:00I just hate how uncomfortable I made her feel.
04:14I should never have let it happen.
04:17Hey.
04:20Don't be so hard on yourself.
04:21This situation is agony for you too.
04:26Yeah, I just miss her so much.
04:30Okay.
04:33If I keep going, I'm going to lose it.
04:36So, do me a favour.
04:38Change the subject.
04:41Well, I have been meaning to ask you if you were thinking about coming back to work.
04:48I know that's probably a silly question now.
04:50Well, it's not actually.
04:51I don't want to miss too much and I need something else to focus on.
04:56Could I come back in tomorrow?
04:59Okay.
05:01Cool.
05:02I'll sort it out.
05:03Cheers.
05:04See ya.
05:05Hey.
05:06Hey.
05:07Hey.
05:09Hey.
05:11Look, I know that we had high hopes about the dinner tonight, but, um...
05:16I stuffed it up.
05:18Weird about what happened?
05:20Yeah.
05:21We were at Nell's and Mark and Ian were leaving.
05:24I'm really sorry.
05:26I'm really sorry.
05:41Hey, thanks for letting me vent last night.
05:43Oh, any time.
05:44Anything else you want to get off your chest?
05:46No, that's okay.
05:47Once was enough.
05:49Hey, how's Kyle going in Canberra?
05:51He's, uh, he's created a calculated spreadsheet to track and maximise his per diems.
05:57No!
05:58Yeah, of course he has.
06:00Hi.
06:02Sorry for the unanalysed visit.
06:03I was just hoping maybe we could have a minute.
06:08Thanks.
06:14Look, I really loved talking to you last night.
06:18And honestly, that's all I wanted.
06:22I felt really close to you and before I knew it, I was going in for more.
06:27I shouldn't have.
06:31I also know that we are a long way off for any kind of intimacy.
06:36And that you get to lead that.
06:39Not me.
06:41So I'm really sorry.
06:47Okay.
06:52Okay.
06:54Well, I'm heading back into work today and I know the boys would love to spend the day with you.
06:59They could use some TLC.
07:00Oh, that actually sounds perfect for me too.
07:05But I also think it's best if you and I just leave each other be for a bit.
07:16Yeah.
07:30Hey, have you heard from Jane and Byron?
07:40Oh yeah, Jane has cruise fever.
07:43She's already been to a musical, some sort of disco circus.
07:46And even a magic show performed by robots.
07:49Oh.
07:51Jane's cruise fever sounds like a kidney cabin fever.
07:53Right.
07:55That's exactly what Rhett said.
07:57Hey, I wanted to chat to you about the fine you gave him the other day.
08:02Not about the fine itself, but Rhett said you got pretty fired up at him.
08:06Right.
08:08I guess I just wanted to ask if everything's okay.
08:12Maybe you had a bad day?
08:14Me just doing my job means I'm having a bad day.
08:17Were you off duty that day?
08:19An infraction's an infraction.
08:21Whether I'm in uniform or not.
08:23Yeah.
08:24Like I said, I'm not trying to question you doing your job or anything.
08:28You are though.
08:30I'm sorry.
08:32This has come out completely wrong.
08:34All I mean is I'm here if you want to talk about anything.
08:39I don't.
08:42Giving Rhett a fine was completely justified.
08:44There's no need to overthink it.
08:46Alright.
08:48Um.
08:50I might leave you to it.
08:53Alright.
08:59Let's go.
09:01Alright.
09:06I.
09:08I.
09:22Hey.
09:24So um.
09:26I spoke to Dad last night and he has a big idea to pitch you.
09:29me yeah um apparently canberra is really great for mountain biking it's given him
09:35some inspo so he thinks that you'll be keen to join a new club with him um
09:41because you're a fellow outdoorsman I just I thought I'd give you a heads up
09:46it's just an idea but you know how sometimes things start small and build
09:52into something unexpected hmm hey guys hey hey I was looking for you you've got the
10:01day of work today right right right um so I was thinking how do you feel about a day
10:05of nothing no drama no worries just good old nothing I guess I'd say Hakuna Matata
10:12good to see you man good morning my darling wonderful delightful children I understand
10:37you have a little time to kill today and I thought maybe I could help

11:16aww nothing but the best for our travel
11:18um hey speaking of Byron's departure um obviously we are now down one brutally wild housemate
11:28um so I was thinking maybe you could get first dibs on Byron's room
11:33um and I'd keep my room so you'd have your own space um but I was just thinking you know you're here
11:38all the time and when you are everything's way better I love it so
11:43that's really sweet
11:46yeah I know we haven't spoken uh much about living together it was it was just an idea

11:57great idea thank you do you want one yeah
12:02hey you hey I'm uh just about to head off
12:21oh um before you do I know you've had a lot on your plate recently
12:28you know like being there for Cara and meeting your biological family and well Bowman's returned
12:36you probably spent a lot of time worrying about other people
12:40yeah I guess I've been pulled in lots of different directions
12:43oh I'm so sorry I just got so excited about this jury thing that I completely lost sight of how
12:52you're coping you got nothing to apologize for maybe maybe not I just want you to know that
13:00I'm always thinking about you Andrew even if it's not obvious and I want to show you too
13:07I've realized that I can channel all this thinking into my work and I'm going to make something new
13:14for the jewelry competition like a tribute to you that's so romantic yeah well that's what I'm going
13:27for I really think we're overdue for some romance and with you as my inspo I just have this drive

14:52I'm going to have a drink
15:06council good to see you back at work hey sarge look jamie's asked me to collate these witness
15:12statements from this domestic dispute but i've read everything in the intro and i can't point them
15:16have you checked the server i thought she wanted me to scan them in she wants me to pdf them just
15:25wasted 40 minutes of police time rookie error it's not a rookie error it's just a return to work brain
15:31fart or maybe you're a bit distracted yeah way to read me like a detective my head's all over the place
15:40uh i've been there it's very understandable you've got to be going on at home yeah but i i don't want
15:46that to be an excuse i was really excited about this career change and i want to be here i know
15:54i just thought that coming in would distract me from all the bad stuff and just brought it with me
16:02one of the more challenging parts of this job
16:03but we have a duty to stay impartial sometimes that means compartmentalizing
16:11so you block it out this job has a way of pulling you in
16:16it's good to get lost in the work but sometimes you need to let the family life stay at the door
16:22thanks mate
16:27and it's okay
16:33it's
16:42it's
16:54Nothing's better than the real deal
16:57Hey, let's do it all the way
17:00Right here, right now
17:02Come out and take
17:05Go, go, go, go
17:13Go, go, go
17:24Wait, can we get the time out now, please?
17:35I need some rations
17:36Yeah
17:36Uh, that's yours
17:40Oh, who is it?
17:45Um, it's the hospital
17:47They've agreed to your request to change your name
17:51What?
17:54You're Dr. Varga now
17:56No Murphy
17:57It just feels like Mars rejecting our family
18:05I don't get why she needs to do it
18:07She's not even working
18:08Yeah, exactly
18:10Nobody even calls her Dr. Varga Murphy
18:12Like, she must hate it pretty bad to do this
18:15Look, I totally get it
18:16And I'm really sorry
18:17Okay, your Mars got some things that she needs to figure out for herself
18:21But you two shouldn't be collateral damage in that
18:23Guys
18:24I thought I might find you here
18:27I'm really sorry you had to find out like that
18:32I should have given you a heads up
18:34Varga is my name
18:37It makes sense to me
18:39Carrying another name that I don't remember taking
18:43It just feels
18:44Untrue
18:46Does that make sense?
18:50I changed it for me
18:52But I didn't consider your feelings in all of this
18:55And for that I am really, really sorry
18:57Look, to be honest, they're really hurt
19:01And that could have been avoided
19:03I get that you've forgotten who I am
19:06But you haven't forgotten JJ and X
19:08So there's no excuse for not considering their feelings
19:10Hey, I really appreciate the heads up
19:21No, no, no
19:23You and Therese were right
19:24Andrew just needed a bit more attention
19:27Sounds like you had better luck than I did
19:31Yeah, I got lucky all right
19:33Oh
19:34Oh, no, no, no
19:34I mean that we really talked
19:38And we really connected
19:39Oh, yeah
19:40In more ways than one
19:41Yes, sir
19:42Thank you
19:48Wendy, I am so happy for you
19:50Thank you
19:51Me too
19:52Hey, um
20:09Are you around?
20:12Can you come meet me?
20:13I don't know
20:14I...
20:15I saw Bowman again and I'm freaking out
20:19Yes, I got it wrong
20:24The number one rule is you put your kids first
20:27Yeah, well, none of us are perfect
20:30And you're doing pretty well considering your situation
20:33The hard thing is
20:34The situation doesn't just affect me
20:37What's happening to me affects the kids and Cara
20:39I hate being the cause of distress
20:41It's your condition that's causing the distress, not you
20:44That's true
20:45That's a very important distinction to remember
20:47Oh, this whole thing
20:49I know
20:52I've lost something
20:53A piece of the puzzle is gone
20:54But I don't feel a sense of loss
20:57It's the boys and Cara that are missing something
20:59I'm not
21:01And I know everyone else sees my past differently to me
21:04Which makes me the odd one out in my own life
21:06That's sort of how I felt when I lost my memories
21:09Deep down, I knew I hadn't just lost a piece of my life
21:13I'd lost part of me
21:15Part of who I was
21:16I imagine it's very noisy in your head right now
21:21But if you can somehow quieten all the rest of it
21:25And just listen to your own voice
21:28Eventually the pieces will fall back into place
21:31He's such a creep, loitering around
21:36Did he approach you?
21:39Speak to you?
21:40No
21:40But he stared at me
21:42It was threatening
21:43Like he wanted to make me nervous
21:45He's playing with fire
21:48Look, I'll ask the team if they can check in
21:51See if we can trace his steps while he was here
21:53What if it was like a warning?
21:55What if he
21:55What if
21:56What if he's planning something?
21:58Hey
21:58I won't let anything happen to you
22:02I shouldn't
22:08Shouldn't be like this
22:11I shouldn't have called you
22:12I just, I couldn't help myself
22:15Look, it's okay
22:17I'm glad that you did
22:18I just
22:20I have these feelings that I can't make go away
22:24It's too much
22:25It's too much
22:26It's okay
22:26I got you
22:27Coming up on Neighbors
22:51You seem very confident about getting back to work
22:53The only thing I can't remember is Cara
22:55They've got no reason not to put me back in
22:57It feels like
22:58We're at the beginning of our relationship again
23:00I'm pretty sure I saw Holly and Andrew at Lasseter's on tap
23:04And they were kissing
23:05What?
