00:00Previously on Neighbours, it's messages from a dating app.
00:04Well, can I see her picky at least?
00:06No!
00:07Well, even though she's admitted to the theft,
00:09we still need to gather more evidence
00:10before we can proceed with any charges.
00:12I'm going to jail.
00:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:14Who are you with him?
00:15I thought that I had been direct with Quinn.
00:18Don't bother.
00:19No, Andrew!
00:20How would you feel about a trial run at the tram?
00:22The only thing I need to know is that you will attract the offer.
00:25I thought we were on the same page.
00:26I'm not siding with Felix.
00:28Could have fooled me.
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
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59Befriend good friends
01:05All I'm saying is, it looks like Felix is trying to be a better person.
01:10He'd risk his own life for others during the siege.
01:12Oh yeah, so I keep hearing.
01:14Look, don't get me wrong.
01:16I'm not saying you should get any time with JJ.
01:19But, but if Felix really wants a job,
01:22I think maybe we could make it work.
01:24Tell JJ to stay away from the tram
01:27and reiterate to Felix to go nowhere near Arrheni Rising or the school.
01:32It might be a good example for the boys
01:33to see that someone can turn their life around
01:36after making a terrible mistake.
01:39Mistakes, plural.
01:41Mistakes.
01:42Okay, so just to be clear,
01:44you think it'd be a good example for our boys
01:46to see a criminal being given unlimited chances in life?
01:49Don't twist my words.
01:50Remy, he literally recruited JJ into robbing a building site
01:53that resulted in Andrew almost being-
01:54I know!
01:56I agree with you.
01:58What Felix did was beyond bad.
02:01Beyond.
02:03But if he's trying to be a better person-
02:05No, I cannot hear any more of this right now, okay?
02:18Team lady.
02:20Always.
02:20Oh well, it's white with two sugars and not too full.
02:23Just how you like it.
02:25I remembered.
02:26Of course.
02:28To the newest, most fabulousest housemates in the town.
02:33To us.
02:35So is that your mystery man that you were texting?
02:38Yeah, I'm contemplating biting the bullet
02:43and asking him to meet in person.
02:45Do it.
02:47Right now, before you lose your nerve.
02:50You are right.
02:51Not every man is going to be some dirty, no good catfisher.
02:55No.
02:56And as I said before, Miss Pearson, you are a catch.
03:01Also, if he does happen to be a dud,
03:02then you have a fabulous new roommate
03:04who will help you eat all of the ice cream
03:06that you can possibly muster.
03:09Okay.
03:11Sent.
03:12Don't worry about it, don't look at it anymore.
03:14Okay.
03:19Hey.
03:22What's going on?
03:24Monaco?
03:26It's where Mum and Shane are on their yacht.
03:28Do you know Monaco is the second smallest nation in the world
03:30after the Vatican City?
03:31It's smaller than Central Park.
03:33Holly, you're not going to Monaco.
03:34Andrew specifically said you had to stay in Melbourne.
03:37I know, but maybe I could go after this hell is over.
03:40I mean, I haven't seen Mum in ages.
03:41You need to focus on what's happening here
03:44before you even think about holidays.
03:48I was just daydreaming.
03:50We don't even know if you're going to be charged yet.
03:53This could take some time to work through.
03:54I'm aware.
03:55I could be going to jail for 10 years.
03:58Okay.
04:01That is not going to happen, okay?
04:04Now, I know you need distractions,
04:07but if the police knew you were looking at sites like this,
04:09it would raise questions.
04:10Okay, I see your point.
04:12Do you?
04:13Because you know that Susan, Izzy and I will always support you,
04:16but we can't intervene with the law
04:17if you do another silly thing.
04:20Okay.
04:21Sweetheart, you have to give yourself
04:24the best chance of getting through this.
04:27Do you understand that?
04:34Really?
04:36I thought of that.
04:38I love it.
04:39How's the boarding?
04:40Oh, this plan's got me along.
04:41Oh, well, so far we have a total of two performers.
04:44Oh, two?
04:46Yeah, me and Byron.
04:48And it's not for lack of trying.
04:51It seems the men of Ehrensbrad want to keep their clothes on.
04:55Well, I would say in any other situation, thank God.
04:58Where are all the naked men for a good cause?
05:00Yeah, where are they?
05:02Where are they?
05:03I mean, I could just ask my old dance mates,
05:04but the idea is to keep it local, right?
05:06Sorry, we'll convince them.
05:08I'm still working on Leo.
05:11Naked men are dancing?
05:13Yeah, we're putting together a male review for charity.
05:16Can we enlist you?
05:18Well, I guess I could be roped in.
05:21Will that sit okay with your new religious beliefs?
05:24Yeah, I don't remember anything in the Bible against getting your kit off.
05:28Thanks, Felix, but I think it might be a bit awkward for the Varga Murphys.
05:35Yeah, true.
05:37Oh, well, good luck.
05:39Thanks.
05:42Damn, he would have been great.
05:44Hmm.
05:47There is another Rodwell brother that we haven't asked yet.
05:52At the end of the day, how can you say no when it's for charity?
05:57So the proceeds of the ticket sales go to the Ehrensborough Police Youth Outreach.
06:01Imagine how much extra money we could make with one of our local policemen involved.
06:06Plus, think of all the amazing dance moves you are going to learn
06:10with Aaron as your choreographer.
06:11Not saying that you need new moves, but...
06:14Melanie, stop.
06:15I've been trying to say yes for the last five minutes.
06:18Yes?
06:19Yes.
06:33Hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:35What's going on? Are you all right?
06:37Well, no, actually, I'm definitely not all right.
06:39You're not falling for this St Felix act as well, are you?
06:42Because my wife's just told me that she's one of his newest disciples.
06:44Oh.
06:45And because I'm the one not willing to give him yet another chance,
06:48suddenly I'm the bad one, when he is the criminal.
06:50So explain that to me.
06:52I mean, a couple of good deeds and a new holy man act don't make up for all the damage he's done,
06:55right?
06:56And why has he got to get a job in this suburb?
06:58Melbourne is a big place.
07:00Oh, but I guess he's staying nearby, so...
07:03Well, maybe you should have a conversation with Felix.
07:06What is it? What's he done now?
07:09Can I get four cartons of oat milk?
07:13Long way to come for oat milk.
07:15Yes, my customers are very choosy about the preferred brand of oat milk.
07:19They'll open the shop, doesn't have it,
07:20and for some reason, my barista can't remember to order it.
07:25Hey, I wish I could help you out, but I'm gonna have to turn down your offer.
07:30Cara's not a fan.
07:31She gave you an earful too?
07:33Well, I should have spoken to her and Remy first.
07:36I hope it hasn't made things awkward between you.
07:38It's not your fault.
07:46Hey.
07:49You OK?
07:51Just looking for Mum.
07:53Yeah, I was surprised to see her back at work, so soon.
07:56She likes to keep busy.
07:58Still, would have thought a few more days after a siege.
08:04So, what's going on?
08:07Mum and Dad are at each other.
08:09It's like Eggshell City.
08:14Well, those two never stayed mad at each other for long.
08:17I'm sure it'll pass.
08:20I don't think so.
08:22Not this time.
08:32Hey, Mel.
08:33How'd you go with Project Rodwell?
08:35Oh, he's in.
08:36That's great, isn't it?
08:38Mel, what's wrong?
08:40Yeah, sorry.
08:41It's great news.
08:42OK, what's wrong?
08:45It's the guy.
08:47He hasn't replied to the message I sent asking to meet,
08:50and I'm checking the app every five seconds like a silly teenager.
08:52OK, well, give him a minute, you know?
08:54You only messaged him last night.
08:55Yeah, but if he was keen, wouldn't he have replied already?
08:58I don't know.
08:58Maybe he's busy with work or kids or both.
09:01We don't know.
09:02No, I've blown it.
09:04I've come on too strong and spooked the horse.
09:08The apps are dead to me.
09:18Thanks for meeting me.
09:20I've got a question for you.
09:21Hang on.
09:22What part of staying away from JJ do you not understand?
09:25Cara's furious, and I can understand why.
09:28Getting a job in Erin's borough was never part of the plan.
09:32Wow.
09:33Firstly, I haven't been anywhere near JJ, and I don't intend to.
09:37Secondly, Carl was the one who offered me the job at the tram,
09:40and once I realised it wasn't going to fly with Cara, I turned him down.
09:43Of course it wasn't going to fly with Cara.
09:45What did you expect?
09:46You should have turned him down straight away.
09:50Yeah, you're probably right about that.
09:52Maybe instead of obsessively micromanaging me,
09:54you should be more concerned about your wife.
09:57What's going on between you two?
10:00My marriage is none of your business.
10:37Hey.
10:38How you doing?
10:42Having a pretty crap day, which is about to turn into a pretty crap life.
10:46Dark.
10:48But accurate.
10:52I'm waiting for the police to decide how they're going to punish me.
10:56Oh.
10:57Well, I'll be where you are.
10:59What?
11:00Waiting to see if your life as you know it is over?
11:04Yeah.
11:06You got a clean slate, right?
11:09So far.
11:10Well, the police will take that into consideration.
11:13Plus, I reckon people are going to go on the record
11:15about how you tried to protect them during the siege.
11:18Yeah, from a situation that I put them in.
11:22Well, people change.
11:25Cops know that.
11:27Look at me, I've made more mistakes than I can remember.
11:30But I'm still here.
11:32You just need a little faith.
11:34Look, I'm not really in the market for conversion therapy right now.
11:37You think I'm trying to convert you?
11:40No, I'm just saying, people make mistakes.
11:43It doesn't mean their life's over.
11:45Carly.
11:47Can you follow me to the station?
12:03Okay.
12:22Thanks for bearing with us while we dealt with Justin.
12:27He's gonna go away for a very long time.
12:34Based on the information that we got today,
12:37I will be arresting you for theft.
12:53There you go, hold him.
13:03I'm not going to jail.
13:14We're not handcuffing you or holding you.
13:16That's what I was just saying.
13:20I'm not going to jail?
13:21Not today.
13:27What happens now?
13:29You will need to appear in court in front of a magistrate.
13:33At some time, to face your charges.
13:36Have you got a lawyer?
13:44Do you want me to call Carl to come in?
13:48Okay.
13:50I'll go do that and I'll prepare the paperwork.
14:02Okay.
