00:00Previously on Shortland Street, all I want is a chance to fix this, to fix us.
00:07I want a divorce. I'm sorry, but it's over.
00:09I heard her crying in the night.
00:11You should go. You should look after Lady.
00:13Madonna, I want to do this thing without hurting each other. Divorce stuff.
00:16Okay.
00:17Don't beat yourself up. You're kind to the rest of the world. Now do you.
00:21Hey, my dad's having another heart attack.
00:22Boyd, what the hell's going on?
00:24Yeah, I'm really sorry. This is unexpected.
00:26Don't worry, Dad. I'll look after you.
00:28Yeah.
00:30I want you to know if I don't...
00:31No, no, no, no, no. We're not doing this. You're going to sail through.
00:34Hey, Boyd, what's going on? What's wrong?
00:36Congestive heart failure.
00:37What? Since when?
00:38It's historic. We had no idea.
00:40He's arrested. Get the defibrillator.
00:48Come on, Holden.
00:51Clear?
00:54Thank God.
00:56Oh, my God. That was too close.
00:59He's back. He's back.
01:01That never should have happened.
01:03Look, are you sure you should be here?
01:05Like, wouldn't you feel better being with Stevie Lee or something?
01:07Yeah, he just died, Mon.
01:09Yeah, I know. I know.
01:11Look, I've got Lily to check up on her, okay?
01:13I need to be here. I need to stay with her.
01:15I can stay. I can watch over him for you.
01:17No, no. I feel like I'm abandoning him.
01:21You can't help, Logan.
01:23I have to stay.
01:25Okay. We'll stay.
01:30Look, you have done everything you can. You know that, right?
01:34Sure.
01:37Okay. I'm right beside you.
01:40Okay. Back to it.
01:44You're doing good.
01:46No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:48No. This is all wrong.
01:50The tissue's too friable. There's no way I can do this.
01:52What do you need?
01:54Uh, help. Another pair of hands.
01:56Right.
02:00Okay. I think they're bringing in another surgeon.
02:02Okay. That's good, then.
02:05Well, he's not dead, though, obviously.
02:07No, no, he's not dead, but, uh, the surgery's just a bit complicated.
02:10Classic Holden.
02:11What?
02:12Get me in there, Lily.
02:13I'm sorry, I can't. It's not protocol.
02:15Screw protocol. I need to see Holden with my own eyes.
02:17Is everything okay?
02:19We're all good.
02:20No, no, no. My husband is not kicking the bucket. Not today.
02:22If he does, I'll kick his ass.
02:24Madonna, postpone the cholecystectomy till tomorrow.
02:26Where are you going?
02:28Boyd needs me.
02:29Okay, scrub me in. I'm coming, too.
02:33He's good, though, right?
02:35Hey, why don't you go ask Ihaia what's happening?
02:37I'll stay here.
02:38No, you're working.
02:39You heard him. My next job was cancelled. It's fine.
02:41And I think Stevie Lee would really appreciate it.
02:43Okay, thank you.
02:44No! Scrub me in!
02:46I don't give a flying flap about protocol!
02:48Yeah, I will see what I can do.
02:51Is that just for his benefit, or are you really sticking around?
02:54Of course I am.
02:55Right. I need a choccy mint, would you mind?
02:58Let's go get it together.
03:02You're really going all out.
03:04Yeah, well, I had some tough competition,
03:06so I have to prove myself worthy of the position.
03:08Ah.
03:09So you'll be there. Molly's. I've booked out the whole bar.
03:12I sure will. I've got a team and everything.
03:14Excellent. My quiz night simply can't go ahead without you.
03:17Well, what's so special about me?
03:19Well, if you're there, everyone else will want to come.
03:21Oh, I see. Flattery will really get you everywhere.
03:24Even though I've been here slightly longer than you,
03:26if you don't count my, um, sabbatical,
03:29I don't hold quite the same sort of, um...
03:35..charm.
03:37Thanks, Thaddeus. That's very sweet.
03:39Well, I'll see you tonight.
03:42Hey, we're actually nearly done.
03:44Ready for the quiz tonight? You ready to win?
03:46We are going to win.
03:50Hey, how's it looking there?
03:52Bad.
03:54Stopping Z-cell properly could have caused the degradation.
03:57In just one week?
03:59It's possible.
04:02He's crashing.
04:04Well, let's do a synthetic valve.
04:06The heart's too damaged.
04:08We've got to try something.
04:13What are you doing here?
04:15You ordered a paediatrics consult.
04:17I did. Hey, um, Thaddeus is hosting a quiz night at Molly's.
04:21Do you... Would you... Would you want to come?
04:24I'll check my schedule.
04:26Thanks for making the time to come and see us, Naz.
04:28Yeah, so speedy.
04:30Hey, Monty, I'm Dr Ishard. I hear you're not feeling too well.
04:32He has shortness of breath and has been struggling to get out of bed for weeks.
04:35He's missed a lot of school.
04:36BP?
04:3785 over 60.
04:38Hmm, a bit low.
04:39We need you to do an INR and a PT.
04:41Why?
04:42INR?
04:43Don't worry, we won't be needing those. Hey.
04:45Wait.
04:51What was that?
04:52That kid has a blood clot.
04:53You don't know that.
04:54Yes, I do. I've seen it before.
04:55Monty has the exact same symptoms as Patrick Johnson.
04:57Who?
04:58PJ. He was in my class in intermediate and up until primary school.
05:01He fell once during the BP test. He was always white as a sheet.
05:04And then he napped during class and then, bam, pulmonary embolism.
05:07OK, Sage, well, I'm sorry about your friend, but this isn't...
05:09PJ's fine now. He's big into crypto and lives in Christchurch.
05:12Classic.
05:13Quite a diagnostic jump.
05:15Just doing my job.
05:20What?
05:21You were trying to impress Naz.
05:25As if.
05:27Be serious.
05:28First of all, I'm not trying to impress Naz.
05:31And second of all, do you think I'll come tonight?
05:34Oh, my God, you're terrible.
05:36But you can't let your crush get in the way of your patient care.
05:39I mean that.
05:40I'm not, truly.
05:41I'm saying this with love, Sage.
05:43Naz isn't gay.
05:45OK?
05:46Wrong tree.
05:47Barking.
05:52They have to see him.
05:53They know they will.
05:5730 minutes of CPR and he's still in a systole.
05:59We're nearly there.
06:01He's dead, Boyd.
06:02He'd done everything he could.
06:07Boyd.
06:08Oh, damn it.
06:11Why are they standing back like that?
06:13Hey!
06:14Help him!
06:16What?
06:17Logan.
06:42So there's a question.
06:43Has Ben keeping him alive?
06:45Well, we can't know that.
06:46Not until the post-mortem's done.
06:48Post-mortem?
06:49Bloody piker.
06:51Um, so we'll need a few hours.
06:52But once he's ready, we'll let you know and you can go and see him.
06:55No, I'm not going to see him.
06:56Stuff that.
06:57I am livid.
06:58He does not get to just banger off like this.
07:00No way.
07:01Seriously.
07:02Thanks, mate.
07:03Yep.
07:04No, cheers for the choccy milk.
07:05Gonna need something a bit stronger now.
07:07Truly sorry for your loss, Mrs Barnes.
07:09Logan.
07:15I'll make sure that Holden's taken care of.
07:17Thanks, Mum.
07:18Don't worry about that, love.
07:19Throw him in the trash.
07:20It's what he deserves.
07:21The cheek of it.
07:23Or whatever you need.
07:24Or whatever is too hard to handle, just pass it on to me.
07:26We don't need anything.
07:28He gets what he left us, which is absolutely nothing.
07:30Mum!
07:31Mum!
07:32OK, mate.
07:33She might need a minute.
07:34She needs me.
07:35And what do you need?
07:36I'm good.
07:37No, you're not.
07:39You just lost your dad, mate.
07:42I'm good.
07:47Maeve, you have to come to Daddy's quiz tonight.
07:49It won't be any fun without you.
07:50I'm not the only queer person here, you know.
07:52Really?
07:53Point me in the direction of someone else because I'm coming up short.
07:57Sorry.
07:58It just doesn't feel right.
08:00Partying, drinking.
08:02Anything.
08:03Not when Logan just watched his dad die.
08:05I know, but there's nothing you can do for him.
08:07Not right now.
08:08I guess.
08:10We have Monty's bloods.
08:11Oh, yeah?
08:12He's anaemic.
08:14Really?
08:15We'll get him booked in for a transfusion as soon as possible.
08:17That should help him feel less lethargic.
08:19I'll get his transfusion booked.
08:20Will you get him ready for a discharge, Sage?
08:22Yeah, sure.
08:25Dammit.
08:26Well, you tried.
08:28He's definitely not coming to the party now.
08:30You're a good nurse, Sage.
08:31But you need to focus.
08:33Don't run before you can walk, yeah?
08:34No, I just tried to trust my instincts, but I guess they were wrong.
08:36No, I think it's more that they were...
08:39compromised.
08:44I couldn't find her.
08:45Do you want me to go look for her?
08:46Nah, I think she just wants to be alone right now.
08:48But you need him.
08:51Oh, it's cool.
08:55Hey, brother.
08:56I got some bad news.
08:57Oh, that's hard.
08:58How's he doing?
08:59Uh, he's fine.
09:01How's he doing?
09:02Uh, he hasn't even cried yet.
09:04He's probably in shock.
09:06Yeah, he's just so worried about his mum.
09:08Does he need anything from home?
09:10I'd love to help any way I can.
09:12Lily's sorting it all.
09:13Right, of course.
09:14Yeah, he's at the flat now.
09:15Anyway, I need to go check on him.
09:18Holden is still so young.
09:20And Logan?
09:21We have to rally around him if he's going to get through this.
09:24Maybe pull it back a bit?
09:26Excuse me?
09:27I know what you're doing.
09:29You're using Logan's personal tragedy to claw your way back into my brother's good graces.
09:34How can you even say that?
09:35It won't work.
09:36It's a bad idea for the both of you.
09:38You and Vili are over.
09:40So let him go.
09:57Chris, hey.
09:59Didn't know you were here.
10:02That's all good though.
10:04Uh, just so you're aware,
10:07Logan's dad died today.
10:12In surgery.
10:14It came as a real shock to all of us.
10:19Okay, well, yeah, my best friend's dad died today in front of him.
10:24Can you hear me?
10:25This is Logan's house.
10:27You're squatting it and you can't spare a word for him.
10:30I thought.
10:34You're not the only one Harry left, you know.
10:37Logan was super messed up.
10:38He's still messed up.
10:39And what about my sister?
10:41She stood by you and you just threw her away.
10:44You treated her like trash.
10:46Why are you even here?
10:50She's dodging my calls.
10:51You know, she might have left the hospital, gone to the bar or the pokies.
10:54Without telling you?
10:55Yeah, it looks like it.
10:56Okay, I'll try and give her another call.
10:58She is at the bar, look.
11:02Okay, good, good.
11:03Well, at least she's safe then.
11:04No, she's in denial.
11:05This just might be the way that she grieves.
11:07No, she's not.
11:08She's not grieving.
11:09She's acting like nothing's happened.
11:11Look, she can't be alone right now.
11:12She needs me.
11:13Wait, Logan, are you sure you're not the one who needs her?
11:16No.
11:17Well, yeah, maybe.
11:18But not when she's drunk or hiding.
11:19Okay, well, her feelings, they might be catching up.
11:22She wasn't there.
11:23She didn't get to see Holden go like you did.
11:26Do you think she needs to?
11:29To see him?
11:30Yeah, it could...
11:31Look, I'm sorry.
11:32I've got to go get Mum before I lose track of her.
11:33Okay, well, I will come.
11:34We can have a shot of, I don't know, liquid courage before we see Holden.
11:37I doubt she will.
11:38Thanks, though, but we'll be fine.
11:47Where's Nicole?
11:48I thought you were going to invite more people than this, Sage.
11:50Well, I'm still kind of the new kid, Daddy.
11:52Give me a minute to sort my oats.
11:53Okay.
11:54I'm sorry we couldn't find a babysitter.
11:55I mean, as for the turnout, people may have been intimidated knowing that Sage and I are coming.
11:59Nobody likes to lose.
12:02You're really stressed, aren't you?
12:04Can you just have a seat, have a lemonade?
12:06Oh, dear, I've bungled up being social club secretary in the first week, haven't I?
12:10No, you're doing great.
12:14Sorry, I think there's an eyelash.
12:16Excuse me.
12:18He really needs this to go well.
12:20So let's make sure it does, okay?
12:21First things first, we need a team name.
12:23It can't be too specific.
12:24It has to be open enough so other people feel like they can join, you know?
12:26So Mage is out?
12:28Mm-hmm.
12:29Oh, my God.
12:30Hey, team.
12:32Not much of a turnout, is it?
12:34Can I be on your team?
12:35Please.
12:37Oh, thank God you're here.
12:39No, it should be fun.
12:40I'll get us some drinks.
12:41Moscow mules?
12:42Yeah, yum.
12:47Oh, my God, babe, do you know what this means?
12:49Um, Naz has really great taste.
12:51No.
12:52Can I be on your team?
12:54Getting us Moscow mules?
12:55That incredible shirt?
12:57When have you ever seen him after work drinks like socialising or anything?
13:01He's soft-launching his sexuality and I know it.
13:05Oh, it must have been so hard for him all this time pretending.
13:08I need to text Stella.
13:09No, no, no, let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
13:11Oh, my God, he's coming back.
13:12Oh, cool.
13:18Legion.
13:19I think I might stay at Mum's tonight.
13:21Good call.
13:23Hey, we've taken good care of him, OK?
13:26Thank you, boy.
13:29The funeral director needs to see him soon.
13:31You want us to go with you?
13:32Nah, it's OK.
13:34We should do this one ourselves.
13:36Thanks for looking after us, though.
13:37Sorry I've been all over the place.
13:39Of course.
13:40We'll just wait here for you.
13:43All right, Mum, let's go.
13:44I'm good, love.
13:45What do you mean?
13:46You go on without me.
13:47Say your goodbyes.
13:48Mum, we don't have time for this.
13:49Well, then you'd better hurry up, then.
13:51This might be the last time you ever see him.
13:53Good riddance.
13:55Mum, I know you're struggling,
13:56but you might regret not saying goodbye to Dad properly.
13:59Don't worry about me, Logie Bear.
14:00Go on.
14:02What is wrong with you?
14:04I don't want to see him like that, sweetheart.
14:14How's he doing?
14:15Who, Logan or Chris?
14:16Who said anything about Chris?
14:18I don't know.
14:19It's just been a weird, rough day.
14:22But now that you mention it...
14:23Ringa?
14:24I'm just asking.
14:25He's a mess.
14:26You're so much better off without him.
14:28How much of a mess?
14:29I just don't want you getting hurt.
14:31Not again.
14:32Yeah, me too.
14:35I need to move on.
14:36Pot, meat, kettle, Selina Toa.
14:38I just asked one question.
14:40You told me to move on from my ex,
14:41and you're still asking Gus about yours.
14:43Yeah, well, Vili's not your husband anymore.
14:45Well, Chris is not your boyfriend.
14:47I told you to leave it with Vili.
14:49You've already put him through so much, okay?
14:51And I still have to be able to deal with two of you.
14:54And he'll be a mess if you're still sniffing around.
14:57So drop it.
14:58How are you feeling?
15:00Great.
15:01Should I come in with you?
15:02Please, Mum.
15:04I think I need to do this alone, actually.
15:06Of course.
15:08You know, I wish Mum could hack it.
15:09And I wish Corey could be here on time.
15:12But without them, if it's just...
15:14Look, it might be nice, you know?
15:16This way, you can just talk to him privately.
15:19And you know I'm right out here if you need anything.
15:22Okay.
15:28Hey, Dad.
15:36This is so messed up.
15:47What?
15:54I can't believe I had a dad like you.
16:00It was mental.
16:02A lot of the time, if I'm honest.
16:08I was pretty annoyed.
16:10With all those brothers and sisters you left me with.
16:14Constantly just...
16:17Running into people I didn't know I was related to.
16:22And all those kids you left behind.
16:24I wasn't thrilled.
16:28And you lied.
16:30For so long.
16:33You hid it from us.
16:34So much.
16:36So much.
16:43But I...
16:46Now I keep thinking.
16:49Keep realising that...
16:54There are all these parts of you.
16:56Out there in the world.
16:58Waiting for.
17:00That I can keep finding.
17:02Wherever I go.
17:04And maybe it's stupid.
17:06But...
17:09It just kind of helps me feel like you're still here.
17:17Friends, Romans, countrymen and women.
17:20Lend me your ears.
17:22For tonight, we quiz!
17:26He's really gone all out.
17:27He's amazing.
17:29We have questions and categories to appeal to everyone.
17:33Pop culture, world events, sports, you name it.
17:36We will quiz you on it.
17:38I'm actually a bit nervous now.
17:40So, without further ado.
17:42And with me as your host, Thad the Lad.
17:44Yes, Thad the Lad.
17:46I hope you're feeling competitive tonight.
17:48Because the team that places first will win brunch for two at Lola's.
17:53With mimosas on their house.
17:54What could be better?
17:55So, let's get cracking.
17:57First round is general knowledge.
18:00Who is the current mayor of Invercargill?
18:03Off to a random start.
18:05Oh, Nobby Clark!
18:07He went to high school with my dad.
18:09Thank you for that, Sage.
18:11Maybe just write it on your paper.
18:13Rather than sharing the answer with the whole room.
18:15Sorry.
18:16Great job, though.
18:17Who was the season eight winner of RuPaul's Drag Race?
18:21Bob.
18:22Bob!
18:26Hey, um...
18:28Naz, would you ever want to do this again?
18:31Do what again?
18:33Oh, like this. Like, exactly this.
18:35Except no quiz and no other people.
18:39So, just cocktails?
18:41Yeah, just cocktails and us.
18:43And Maeve?
18:45Well...
18:47No. No Maeve.
18:49Oh, so, like a date?
18:51Yeah.
18:52Almost exactly like a date.
18:54A date.
18:55Oh. Oh, yeah.
18:57That would be cool.
18:58But I'm not sure how that would work, Sage, because I'm...
19:00Oh, my God, you've got a boyfriend.
19:02Of course you do. That makes sense.
19:04No. No boyfriend.
19:05But that's mainly because I'm straight.
19:09You're straight?
19:10Yeah.
19:12You're straight?
19:13Mm.
19:14But we could still hang out as friends.
19:16That would be cool.
19:18Finish the title of this Mariah Carey track from 2005.
19:22We blank-blank...
19:24...belong together.
19:26OK, team, this round is on me, because we are killing it.
19:30Kill me.
19:31Name three Jennifer Lopez films.
19:34And for bonus points, give me the years in which they were released.
19:38Uh, enough.
19:392002. Made in Manhattan was the same year, I believe.
19:42Or am I getting confused with the wedding planner?
19:44She can't have had all three out in the same year, surely?
19:48Yes.
19:51KNOCK AT DOOR
19:55Chris, it's me.
20:01PHONE VIBRATES
20:06I know you're in there, so you might as well open up.
20:12Chris, what are you doing?
20:14This is childish. You can't just ghost us.
20:18We're all out here just dealing with the fallout and aftermath.
20:23And with everything else.
20:26Because life goes on.
20:29This is not all about you, OK?
20:31And it's not all about you, messed up son!
20:35There are other people that need you.
20:38Grow up!
20:44Oh, Philly.
20:47Hey. Sorry, um...
20:50I just needed some space, but I'll get out of your way.
20:53No, no, no. I can find somewhere else.
21:12How's Logan doing?
21:14He's struggling.
21:16But he's doing fine compared to Stevie Lee.
21:19She is not coping at all.
21:21It's so awful.
21:23I've been praying for them.
21:26There's not much else we can do.
21:30It feels so quick.
21:34He was just here.
21:37And now he's gone, and...
21:40Logan's life will never be the same.
21:45Life is so short.
21:47It's so short.
21:50And everything is meaningless compared to this.
21:53Why do we spend time making things difficult?
21:58And painful?
22:00When...
22:05When we could just be happy?
22:14I'm sorry.
