00:01Previously on Shortland Street
00:05You thought we wouldn't give you a proper send-off, eh?
00:07The only good thing about Logan leaving is that we don't have to deal with you anymore
00:11You should really be nice to her just because she loves you
00:14How on earth did they get so far out?
00:16You're blocking it!
00:18Barley! Barley!
00:20Come on boy, come on!
00:308pm
00:32We're in the middle of a big party
00:34And we're not going to leave you alone
00:36You'll be fine
00:38It's just that...
00:40I don't feel well
00:42I'm so sorry
00:44I couldn't be there
00:46I'm sorry
00:48I'm sorry
00:50I'm sorry
00:52I'm sorry
00:54I'm so sorry
00:56I'm sorry
00:58I guess I'll be falling, falling forever I guess I'll be falling, falling forever
01:27Falling forever with you
01:58I need you
02:01I'm not going anywhere
02:14How are you feeling?
02:16You took in quite a bit of water there but you'll be alright
02:22The boys
02:25Who's got the boys?
02:28Where are they?
02:30Robbie's with Marnie and Esther
02:36What do you mean?
02:40Where's Remus?
02:47Where's Remus?
02:48Where's Remus?
02:50I'm so sorry
02:57I guess I'll be falling, falling forever
03:12I guess I'll be falling
03:16All good?
03:19Emmet just called me into ED
03:22Just now?
03:23Yeah, sounds like they're slammed
03:25Maeve you don't have to go right now
03:27I mean I know that Emmet is prickly but he doesn't expect you to drop everything
03:31Especially when your friends just lost their son
03:35You go without me
03:37Okay, I'll see him later on
03:39Can you give him my love?
03:40Maeve
03:45Hey
03:53Hey
03:57You look terrible
03:59Thanks
04:02My heart goes out to Boyd
04:06Take your eye off your kid for a moment
04:09What are you saying?
04:12Is Boyd's fault his kid drowned?
04:13Of course not
04:15Like you can talk about parenting
04:18Excuse me?
04:19Well I mean you just, you just gave up on your kid
04:24I know, I know you're upset Maeve but that's
04:26Yeah that's right, I'm a hysterical woman
04:28Oh you are out of line Maeve
04:30You know some of us would give anything, literally anything
04:36To have our kids back
04:37But you, oh you just walked away didn't you?
04:41How could you do that?
04:42How could you abandon your own daughter?
04:44It's not that it's any of your business
04:45But I did that because that's what she wanted
04:49She cut me out of her life
04:52That was her choice
04:53Oh yeah, and what made her do that?
04:57Oh well it sounds like she's told you her version of it
04:59She has actually
05:01You're despicable
05:02Is that right?
05:03The way you treated her, not contacting her
05:05You pushed her away
05:06Oh that is enough
05:07I didn't know who you think you are
05:08You abandoned her
05:09But this stops now
05:11Just stay the hell out of my business
05:15Oh
05:30Hey
05:32You were offside her in this morning
05:34She will be
05:36Did she say anything?
05:38Last night?
05:39You know it's a real shame that you had to call her in
05:42Because she didn't get to see Boyd
05:44You know and
05:45She really was the right person to comfort him
05:48She knows what it's like with her son
05:51Yeah right
05:52So maybe
05:54You know you could take it easy on her
05:56Today if you can
05:58Yep
06:01Yep
06:07Hey
06:08You okay mate?
06:09It's okay
06:12Bad dreams
06:14Yeah well it'll take a while
06:18Did I keep you up all night?
06:20No
06:22We talked a little bit but
06:24Even if you didn't I couldn't really sleep
06:26You're good
06:28You are
06:31You're so good
06:33No
06:35You know you are
06:37I'm really not
06:38Mum
06:42After the beach I've been rethinking things
06:47I'm not ready to go home
06:48It doesn't feel right
06:51And I know
06:53It's too late to change my mind
06:56It's going to break mum's heart
06:58Well you're not going to go to Hamilton?
07:00No I can't do it
07:01What?
07:02I could kiss you
07:03Well go on then
07:13Figured you'd be a
07:15Soy type
07:17Smells like a can of baked beans to me
07:20Okay
07:22I don't get it
07:24Well you can chuck it down the bowl if you don't like it
07:25I don't care
07:26No thank you I'll drink it
07:28I mean it's not oh
07:29But I will drink it
07:33You told Nicole I called you in
07:35To work
07:36So you could avoid seeing Boyd
07:40Yeah
07:43He doesn't need my grief
07:44Not right now
07:46And I don't need you yelling at me about my daughter
07:50But you've gone through your own stuff so
07:52I'll give you a pass
07:53I'm not far enough away from it
07:56I think about Wilder all the time
07:59Yeah
08:01Well that's not going to change anytime soon
08:05But it doesn't mean you can pike on Boyd
08:08Well you don't even have to say anything
08:11Just go in there
08:12Be there for him
08:14Okay
08:16You're right
08:17I know
08:22Did you make this?
08:25Yep
08:38Marty will be in to see you later with formulas
08:44Hey I'm going to
08:45Just stuck out for a bit
08:46Make a couple of calls
08:47Check in with Harper and the kids
08:52I'll be just outside yeah
09:05How are you going Liv?
09:06Hey yeah good you?
09:09Still a bit shook up to be honest
09:12It's just such a tragedy
09:14I keep thinking
09:16If we were all just a little bit closer to the water
09:18We might have been able to save him you know
09:20Or if the tide hadn't been so strong
09:22It's just
09:23There's just so many things went wrong
09:25But try for a smile Logie
09:27That's what we've got to do
09:28When we up sticks and start fresh
09:31Look if you're still worried about the movers
09:32I'll just bloody book them
09:34I honestly just thought you'd have a few
09:36Buff mates you could call up
09:38You sure you got no one you want to call?
09:40That's not it mum
09:42Well what then?
09:44Still dismissing dad?
09:45No
09:46I mean yes of course
09:47But
09:49But what?
09:51I can't go to Hamilton with you
09:54What are you talking about?
09:56Everything's changed for me mum
09:58And I've been thinking
09:59Oh Monique
10:00Eh?
10:01That's what you've been thinking about
10:02Monique
10:03She's been in your ear
10:04And now what?
10:05You're just going to pull the plug on your mum?
10:06No that's not what it is mum
10:07If you let me finish
10:08Oh you've got something else to say do you?
10:10Insult to injury if you ask me
10:12Mum wait
10:13What?
10:14You feel abandoned do you?
10:15Mum
10:31Hey
10:35What's this?
10:37Her medicine
10:39Went ahead and grabbed it from the pharmacy
10:42Right
10:44And you were just going to give this to her yourself were you?
10:46No
10:48I wouldn't do that
10:52Sure
10:57I know you've been checking up on her
11:01Yeah I haven't talked to her
11:03Haven't even been in there
11:06Just been keeping an eye
11:08I know how you'd be if watching you
11:11Yeah that makes sense
11:20You know she's a good reader
11:22She is?
11:25Yeah
11:30She's good at soccer too
11:33Yeah
11:35The only trouble she gives me is around bedtime
11:38Daylight savings is a nightmare
11:41That's the only grief she's ever given me
11:46Debris being her mum
11:50Don't know how I got so lucky
11:57Philly
11:59Hey
12:00Hey thank you for your message
12:02Can I hug you?
12:03Yeah of course
12:07Are you doing okay?
12:08Who cares how I'm doing
12:09I do
12:13I'd better go
12:15Of course
12:16Looks like your mate's waiting for you
12:25Monique
12:28Hey I was thinking about
12:30Why did you do it?
12:32Do what?
12:33Are you okay?
12:34Why did you convince Logan to stay in Ferndale
12:36Instead of moving to Hamilton where he belongs
12:38What am I supposed to do now?
12:40Look I have no idea his plans have changed
12:42He's only just told me
12:44It is a surprise to me as well
12:45Oh right
12:46Fat chance
12:47Stevie Lee
12:49I would not lie to you
12:50Especially after what happened yesterday
12:54It's just me now
12:56No husband, no son
13:00Poor Remus
13:03His dad
13:05His little boy he's just gone
13:07He's gone
13:08It's like he was here one minute
13:09And now he's gone
13:10And I just can't
13:11I can't get it out of my head
13:12Because it's like in some way that's me
13:14Holden's just gone
13:16And Logan clearly doesn't care
13:18Look
13:20Logan is not gone okay
13:22He's only an hour away from you
13:24Like he's always been
13:25You can not hold him though
13:28No not Holden
13:30No don't
13:31Don't
13:40Madonna has given you another care package
13:43She thought you might be getting sick of the hospital food
13:46And I talked to Zara
13:48And she sends her love
13:50And she'll be here for the funeral of course
13:53Sorry
13:55I shouldn't have said that
13:57We don't need to talk about that
13:59Right now
14:00Absolutely
14:04Dad
14:07Dad
14:13I think your dad is a bit sleepy right now sweetheart
14:17He needs a nap
14:18So let's you and me go to the cafe
14:20Get some food and a fizzy drink
14:25There should be two
14:29Dad
14:56Hey
15:00How are you going?
15:09Yeah it's hard
15:11Losing a child
15:15And I did the same
15:18I said everyone out
15:20I pushed everyone away
15:22Maddie
15:24The kids
15:27But you know
15:28They're going to be the ones who will help you get through all of this
15:34With your family
15:37Your friends
15:39Romulus
15:44Look I know right now isn't the right time
15:47But
15:49It'd be really good if we can get you in for all that chest x-ray
15:54And it'll make me feel good knowing that you're getting the care that you need
15:58You need to be okay for your boy
16:04Okay
16:09Hey mate
16:28Logan
16:30Hey mum
16:32God you look awful honey
16:33Have you eaten anything today?
16:34Yeah I'm okay
16:36Sorry about before
16:37Oh no no no god I'm sorry
16:40You don't have to worry about your silly old mum
16:42I was just
16:44I was feeling sorry for myself
16:46I know it's been hard on you
16:51Hey yeah well I may have bluffed a little to both of you
16:55What's going on?
16:56Mum I got you a vodka lime and soda
16:59Mum I got you a bourbon
17:01Right
17:02I'm feeling a bit neater
17:04Okay
17:07When I was little
17:08Dad would always talk about driving through America
17:12Route 66 in a 351 GT
17:16He never did it
17:17And I guess he had me and Corey and the others
17:22He wasn't mad that he didn't do it
17:23But he still always thought he would
17:27The way he looked when he talked about it
17:35I'm going to go do it
17:36For myself and for dad
17:40I want to see new things
17:42I want to travel
17:44And when I'm back maybe Ferndale
17:46Maybe Hamilton
17:47Maybe something else
17:49My little Logan beer
17:51Little grown up
17:53Your dad will be so so proud of you
17:57I didn't know this was something you were considering
18:00I wasn't
18:02I knew I always wanted to do it
18:05Just seemed like a bit full on
18:06And I was in no rush
18:09But now that dad's dead
18:11And the beach
18:12And Remus
18:13You gotta live while you can
18:15I get it
18:17So how long do you think you're going for?
18:19A week?
18:21A month?
18:23Holden always talked about leaving at least four weeks
18:26He really wanted to just take his time with it
18:29Okay
18:30Four weeks
18:31We can cope with that
18:32Mum
18:34I'm going to get some bubbles
18:52Hey
19:00Hey
19:07I wanted to see you earlier but I couldn't
19:11I'm sorry
19:15I didn't want to see you at first
19:18And I couldn't
19:23I bought you this
19:26Thank you
19:28It's for your eyes
19:32After a while it
19:35They got so dry I thought they were going to shrivel up
19:38Not only talks about the toll it takes
19:41Crying all the time
19:45But I am
19:46Hot compress
19:48Resting on my eyes
19:49It's the only thing that helps
19:50I used to flannel but this is better
19:53You just let it sit there
19:56It'll help you produce more tears
20:00They're not going to stop
20:20Harper
20:30Harper
20:34Come here
20:38Oh my god you have no idea how happy I am to see you
20:41I know you want to be here
20:43You okay?
20:44Well I'm doing much better than Boyd that's for sure
20:48How is he?
20:49Um well I don't know I can't even get him to talk to me
20:53People grieve in all kinds of ways yeah
20:55You know it could just as easily have been one of ours Harper
20:57I probably wouldn't want to talk to him either
20:59He's not blaming you?
21:00Well maybe he should
21:01Hey
21:03Don't say that
21:04Don't say that
21:05Marley was the oldest kid there
21:09You think this is Marley's fault?
21:10No no of course I'm not blaming Marley
21:12I'm blaming myself
21:13Just don't
21:14Boyd wanted to stay here and work
21:16I made him come to the beach with us
21:18I gave him shit all day about being a helicopter parent
21:21I basically made him stop watching them
21:23I dropped the ball myself
21:27I don't know how I'm ever going to make this work
21:39How is he?
21:42His x-ray came back all good so that's a good sign
21:45He'll be fine physically as long as he rests
21:48He needs to be taken care of
21:50Well he's got a lot of people around him
21:52No shortage of friends looking out for him
21:53I don't think he should stay in the hospital overnight
21:56Well it would be good to keep him in for observation
21:59And if Boyd manages to fall asleep
22:01We don't want to wake them
22:02Yeah but if his x-ray is fine
22:04You could discharge him he'd come home with me
22:06Harper and I can look after the both of them
22:09Yeah okay I can discharge him
22:18Bye
22:34Hi
22:35You okay?
22:36Come on you want to come in?
22:37Yeah I just
22:39Look I'm really sorry I didn't tell you about everything
22:41Okay about not going to Hamilton
22:44I just didn't have it all figured out
22:45And I wasn't brave enough
22:48Yeah it was a bit of a slap in the face
22:50Yeah I was scared to tell you
22:52And I'm scared to go
22:54But I don't want to not do something because it scares me
22:57Yeah neither do I
23:00Look we haven't talked about what your mum said at the beach
23:03The other day about me
23:04Yeah I just figured she was drunk
23:06But what she said
23:08It's true
23:11I love you
23:13I know I love you too
23:16So you'll stay?
23:19I gotta do this
23:21For your dad?
23:22For me
23:25I'm sorry
