00:00Previously on Neighbours...
00:02What do I do with myself?
00:04Oh, I know that smile. Is that Harold?
00:06He wants me to send him a copy of my book.
00:09We were talking about travel.
00:11No, it worked.
00:12I think we should really get a test.
00:13Yeah.
00:14How would you feel about taking a trip to the Dandenonges?
00:17Like old times.
00:18We found these in your drawer.
00:20I need you to step down.
00:21That's my entire life savings.
00:23I will bring the lawyers in so quickly...
00:25He's not yours.
00:26His biological father is Jeffrey.
00:30Neighbours.
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:37With 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...
00:59I swear I didn't know.
01:08I only found out that Jeffrey changed the DNA results when Thomas was in hospital.
01:12You should have told me then.
01:14I know. I know.
01:16I kept looking for the right moment.
01:19But you love him so much.
01:22I didn't want to break your heart.
01:25Hang on.
01:26How...
01:27Why did Jeffrey do it then?
01:29Blackmail.
01:31He'd planned it from the start.
01:34He figured he'd become attached to Thomas and the longer he left it the more leverage he'd have.
01:44He figured I'd be lining up a future with you by now.
01:50Is that what you're trying to do?
01:53The idea of us as a family...
01:59I can't think of anything better.
02:05That's why you wanted to set up the trust isn't it?
02:12I was...
02:13You were going to give the money to Jeffrey.
02:14I was trapped.
02:16I never wanted to hurt you Paul.
02:19Please.
02:20You have to believe me.
02:22Oh Carl.
02:43Hey.
02:44Have you told Therese?
02:47Carl has a theory about Darcy.
02:50It's taken a couple of days for my head to clear.
02:54But I truly believe he's set me up.
02:58To what end?
02:59I don't know.
03:00But all I was taking were the natural supplements that Darcy supplied.
03:04As for the opioids, they are not mine.
03:06I swear it.
03:07Darcy could have planted them.
03:09He's always been dodgy.
03:11Susan?
03:14Okay, so where are the supplements that Darcy gave you?
03:17Well, I had them a few days ago.
03:19Now I can't find them.
03:21The problem is that you did lie about your addiction.
03:24I know.
03:25And your judgement's been impaired.
03:27Could that still be the case?
03:29I realise I've lost everyone's trust.
03:32But there is something not right about Darcy.
03:35There hasn't been from the start.
03:50You should look into this.
03:54Do you think Carl could be right?
03:57I want to believe him.
03:58I do.
03:59But how can I when he's admitted to telling me so many lies?
04:03Well, should we talk to Darcy?
04:04And say what?
04:05We've already heard his side of the story.
04:07We can't go making accusations, no matter what Carl says.
04:11Hmm.
04:13Hmm.
04:14Drugs.
04:15Well, that's why Carl said those terrible things about you.
04:20He was as high as a kite.
04:23Yep.
04:24Yep.
04:25Look, um, tell me more about this trip to the Dandy Knox.
04:29Mummy's looking forward to it, and so I plan on taking advantage of her good mood.
04:35And that's where I come in.
04:37I need her to speak with a cognitive specialist, and I was wondering if you might have a word
04:43with her.
04:44Are you sure about Jane's motives?
04:46Yes.
04:47She just wants to relive old times.
04:50Devonshire teas.
04:52Birds in the trees.
04:54It is going to be bliss.
04:56You still hiding from Moira?
04:58You got me.
05:00How's it going with the other residents?
05:03Any luck in making new friends?
05:04I'm beginning to worry about you, Max.
05:06What?
05:07Why?
05:08You've bitten off more than you can chew.
05:10Me?
05:11Oh.
05:12It is not your responsibility to look after me.
05:15Your family.
05:16Oh.
05:17Just don't worry about me.
05:21What is it?
05:24Remember that manuscript I sent to Harold?
05:26Yeah, he was keen to read it.
05:28Yes.
05:29Well, he passed it on to a publisher in Port Douglas, and she wants me to call her.
05:34Looks like you've got yourself a new agent.
05:36Harold.
05:37Oh.
05:38You've got that, you've got to go on to the hotel.
05:39Let's go.
05:40You've got to go on to the hotel.
05:41No.
05:42I'm not here.
05:43No.
05:44You're a real friend.
05:45You're a real friend of mine.
05:47You're a real friend of mine.
05:48There's nothing.
05:49I'm really worried about you, but you've ever been away.
05:50But you've got to be aware of mine.
05:51You've been away from this.
05:52You've got to go on to borrow your head.
05:53Looks like your day's going as well as mine.
06:12I heard about your suspension.
06:16A beam manipulator.
06:20Let me guess.
06:21Darcy.
06:22He's got Seuss in his race completely fooled.
06:26What do I do?
06:29No, you're not going to change anybody's mind at the moment.
06:32Your credibility is down to Dunny.
06:34Oh, hey, thanks.
06:35Thanks for reminding me.
06:38It's the first thing you've got to address.
06:40I mean, prove to everybody that you are on top of your recovery.
06:47And Darcy?
06:48Get some proof that he's being underhanded.
06:53I don't mean speculation.
06:55I mean rock-solid proof.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Anyway, why didn't you tell Susan about your dependency in the first place?
07:02I couldn't.
07:03She spent weeks by on my bedside.
07:05It was gruelly.
07:07I didn't want to add another complication.
07:09And I was ashamed.
07:18I made a huge mistake trusting Darcy.
07:21Yeah, well, we're all guilty of trusting the wrong people.
07:29No.
07:30Hey.
07:42Having a bad day?
07:45Hmm.
07:47Want to talk about it?
07:49Not really.
07:51But I have no right to complain.
07:53I'm getting what I deserve.
07:55I don't believe in karma.
08:02Plenty of people get more than they deserve.
08:06Others less.
08:09The way forward is to know what you want.
08:12And go for it.
08:17That hasn't worked for me.
08:19I'm finally getting what I want.
08:21I am so close.
08:27I haven't come this far to back away now.
08:37Oh.
08:38I thought you'd be at work.
08:40Yeah, I'll be heading in soon.
08:42Yeah, I'll come in with you.
08:43I can pack up my desk.
08:46Oh, and I found a rehab facility that can admit me today.
08:49I don't believe I need it, but it's best if I don't leave it to chance.
08:59And Susan, I...
09:00I am deeply remorseful.
09:07I'm not sure if I've made it clear over the last few days.
09:11Carl, there's no shame in admitting you have a problem.
09:14I can't imagine how difficult this has been for you.
09:17I just...
09:18I just wish that I'd been able to help you from the start.
09:22So do I.
09:23I thought I could handle it on my own.
09:25And because of that, I've compromised you and our relationship and...
09:28My career.
09:32I just wanted to get past you.
09:33I've seen so much addiction.
09:35I couldn't believe what happened to me.
09:37You know that's not how it works.
09:39This is part of you now.
09:42But it doesn't have to define you.
09:44Yeah.
09:46Oh, darling.
09:47Let's just...
09:47Let's just get you well.
09:49Oh.
09:54And what about Darcy?
09:58My feelings haven't changed.
09:59And I would appreciate it if you kept an open mind.
10:03Can we agree on that?
10:05Yeah.
10:06Yeah, I can do that.
10:23It'd be good to have you home.
10:25Even if you do keep everyone up.
10:30Are you going to tell me what's going on?
10:33What happened with Paul?
10:34I just hate how awkward things have become since we kissed.
10:43Well, I did tell you he wasn't interested.
10:45Maybe I should leave town.
10:48Get away for a bit to give him some space.
10:50What?
10:51You and Thomas can't leave.
10:54Things are finally going okay.
10:57Besides, Paul loves being a dad to this little guy.
11:01It would break his heart if he took that away.
11:03Oh, hi, darling.
11:16Oh, sorry I didn't get back to you.
11:18It's been hectic.
11:20Hey.
11:20Hey.
11:23Listen, Therese.
11:25A friend who happens to be a doctor?
11:27Yes, Mum.
11:28Remy.
11:29You have met her.
11:30Sorry, Therese.
11:31You wouldn't happen to have a picnic blanket that we could borrow, would you?
11:35We're off to the dandy knots later.
11:36Yes.
11:36No, we do have one in the linen store room.
11:38Oh, great.
11:39Was it about you taking me to see a dementia doctor?
11:43He's a cognitive specialist, Mum, and Remy can tell you more about it.
11:51Yes, Amanda.
11:52These appointments are rather standard.
11:55I think having a chat to Remy would be quite beneficial for you.
11:59Please, please do it for me, Mum, because I love you.
12:02All right, I'll talk to her.
12:05But can we do it first?
12:06I don't want to be worried about it while we're up in the mountains.
12:10Oh, of course we can.
12:13Yes.
12:17So, did you want to chat about something?
12:19Oh, hold on.
12:21Oh, it's Susan.
12:22Her and Carl are on their way in.
12:23Okay.
12:24Ah, listen, you've got an awful long on me.
12:27I think I'm waiting.
12:28You sure?
12:29Yeah, yeah.
12:30I'll see you later.
12:31Oh, okay.
12:39Hey, did the publisher lady get back to you?
12:42Oh, yes.
12:43We had the most infomerating conversation.
12:45Oh, really?
12:45Hi, I'm Tay, by the way.
12:47Oh, hello, Tay.
12:48Nice to meet you.
12:51Ah, look.
12:51Yes, she's very interested in the book, but with conditions.
12:57It will take months of work.
12:59And she wants me to fly to Port Douglas so that we can go through it all in person.
13:04Amazing you'll get to see Harold.
13:06Oh, Harold's a legend.
13:08Yeah.
13:08Oh, he's a funny old soul, that's for sure.
13:13Oh, so exciting and so daunting.
13:18I hardly know how to start.
13:19Oh, I'm happy for you, Agnes.
13:20Anyway, we'll leave you to it.
13:24Bye.
13:25Bye.
13:26See you.
13:27Really invested in your great-girl-and-art, Gemara.
13:29Hey, you've got Vera, I've got Agnes.
13:33You'll be back before you know it, Dad.
13:38Seriously?
13:39You didn't even want to wait for Dad's chair to get cold before you made yourself at home?
13:42Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
13:44Please.
13:45You know, you say you've changed, but you're the same creep I heard about growing up.
13:50We know that you messed with Dad's supplements.
13:52I what?
13:53Holly, let it go.
13:54No.
13:55We can't prove anything yet, but sooner or later everything that you've done will come back
13:59to bite you, and I'm going to be the first one to celebrate when you come crashing down.
14:03I'm sorry you had to witness that.
14:15Emotions are obviously running really high.
14:20I am very protective of Irene and our residents, and if I get a hint that anything is amiss,
14:28I won't hesitate to take action.
14:29Do you remember when you were a little girl, we went walking in Sherbrooke Forest, and we
14:41saw a liar bird?
14:43Oh, we did too.
14:45Oh, I'd forgotten about that.
14:47Who's the one with the memory problems now?
14:50Uh, Nana, you got it fixed.
14:54Of course.
14:55I still don't know how I got broken, though.
14:57Oh, no, I'm done.
15:02Okay, uh, Remy just messaged.
15:04She's waiting for us down in the courtyard.
15:06Oh, good.
15:07We can have that little chat and get on our way.
15:10Let's do it.
15:11Oh, I might just go and pat on my nose first, and I'll meet you all there.
15:17Now, is there going to be a cost?
15:19No.
15:20No, Mum.
15:21Remy's a friend.
15:21Fine, because you, you know, money is no object.
15:30Um, that's great.
15:32I thought, I thought Nan was against talking to Remy.
15:34Yeah, she was.
15:36And it's great that she's changed her mind, but it was quite the turnaround.
15:40Yeah, she has been a little bit unpredictable as of late.
15:44I hate to say it, but it might be a sign that she's getting worse.
15:47Yeah.
15:49Well, all we can do is try and support her, and getting her to speak with Remy is a good first step.
15:56And if money is no object, I mean, that's good, too.
15:59Well, we might have to look into that.
16:02And her will.
16:04And maybe her power of attorney.
16:06Yeah.
16:06Yeah, that, too.
16:22Hello, Amanda.
16:24Oh, Darcy.
16:25Oh, sorry, the door was already open.
16:28Darling, look, I can't stop and chat.
16:30I've got to catch up with Jane and that doctor friend.
16:33Yeah, I know.
16:34I know, I heard Jane and Myron and Sadie talking.
16:42Um, Amanda, you know, at least I hope you realize, I've come to care for you a great deal.
16:52I do.
16:53I need to warn you.
16:59This meeting is a trap.
17:01Remember how I told you before about some relatives abusing their elders?
17:11Quick diagnosis, off to a home.
17:14Out of sight, out of mind.
17:17Hmm?
17:18This meeting with Remy, the day trip, is to butter you up.
17:24Oh, soon they're going to give you something to sign.
17:28And that'll be it.
17:33They want to put me in a hole.
17:37You have to say no.
17:39Or it's too late.
17:43Oh, God.
17:44Oh, God.
17:44Wow, this is so cool.
17:54Yeah, Max did a great job.
17:59Oh, there's Abby.
18:01And Thomas.
18:02No, I miss them too.
18:23Oh, darling.
18:24I've got something that I want to run past you.
18:27All right, I'll leave you guys to it.
18:28I'll see you soon.
18:29Come on.
18:31Okay.
18:33Now, I know Thomas was on your mind earlier, so I want this co-parenting arrangement to be as painless as possible.
18:42So I've downloaded some resources.
18:45I mean, it's not going to solve everything, but it's a start.
18:47Yeah.
18:49Spending time with Thomas is really important to you.
18:51And I love you for that, and I want to do anything I can to help you.
18:58I'm really looking forward to us watching him grow up.
19:04Anyway, so...
19:07Oh, yes.
19:09Ah, okay.
19:10So with this one, I'll just show you...
19:14It'd be nice there.
19:16Sounds lovely.
19:17There she is.
19:21Mum, do you remember Rennie...
19:23I'm not interested in your trip to the hills.
19:27I know what you're up to.
19:28You...
19:28You want to lock me away in an asylum.
19:33That's why you're here, isn't it?
19:34Oh, no, Amanda, I'm only here to talk.
19:36Mum, you were great at this.
19:38What's changed?
19:39I'm not sick.
19:41I'm not sick.
19:43You and Peter just...
19:44Just want to trick me.
19:45None.
19:46It's...
19:47It's Byron.
19:48You're not getting rid of me?
19:49No, Amanda.
19:50Mum, just...
19:51Just...
19:51Why don't we just go to the Dandenongs like we planned?
19:55I'm not going anywhere with you.
19:56Mum, please don't walk away.
19:59Don't you follow me!
20:01Don't you follow me!
20:07It's okay.
20:09I won't let me take you away.
20:13We'll make a relationship of our own.
20:15I won't let you go.
20:16Yeah.
20:16It's okay.
20:34Before you say anything, I'm willing to leave.
20:37You'll never have to see me again.
20:38All I ask is that you don't tell my family.
20:44Please.
20:45I don't want to cause anyone any more pain.
20:48Especially Thomas.
20:49Chelsea, stop.
20:50Stop.
20:53I've made a decision.
20:58Nothing needs to change.
21:01Alright?
21:02Our secret is safe.
21:03Because I will be Thomas' father.
21:08What?
21:09Nobody can know about this.
21:10Do you understand?
21:12And there has to be some ground rules as well.
21:15No more flirtatious looks.
21:17No more touching.
21:19I'm with Therese now.
21:20You need to respect that.
21:21Yes.
21:22Yes.
21:24I understand.
21:28I can't believe you're willing to do this.
21:37What about Geoffrey?
21:40I'll take care of Geoffrey.
21:47Thank you for looking after me.
21:49Always.
21:51Oh, hang on.
21:56Oh, um, I've got to go back and see one of the residents.
21:59Apparently they've got some mild pain.
22:02I'll wait for you.
22:03No, no, go ahead.
22:04I'll meet you at the picnic ground.
22:06Go ahead without you?
22:07Oh, Amanda, you're an independent, capable woman.
22:10You want me to hold your hand?
22:12Hmm?
22:14I know exactly where they're dropping you off.
22:16I'll be there soon.
22:17I promise.
22:19Devonshire teas.
22:20The birds in the trees.
22:22It'll be bliss.
22:24All right.
22:25I'll see you soon.
22:26Okay.
22:27Oh, let me get that.
22:29Oh.
22:33Thanks, man.
22:40Coming up on Neighbours.
22:54Does Harold know you're coming?
22:55I'm going to take him by surprise.
22:57Check the Irene common areas, the waterhole Harold's.
23:01And she's not in the day, Scott.
23:02When is she?
23:04Tess.
23:05I'm so sorry, Amanda.
23:06Oh.
23:07Oh.
23:07Oh.
23:07Oh.
