00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02This would have cost you more than a month's rent.
00:04Bro, you escort him.
00:05The more money I rake in, the more I spend.
00:08I am such an idiot.
00:10Any contact from Geoffrey?
00:12No, I said they wouldn't be.
00:13You know, watching you and Thomas Bond is just really quite magical.
00:17But Paul and I will always compete each other.
00:19You're playing a game you'll never win, Chelsea.
00:21But I put her in her place once and for all.
00:24Life has always been better when we're a team.
00:26It's from Geoffrey.
00:27Geoffrey's Thomas's father, not you.
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 need good friends.
01:05Give it to me.
01:06No, he's claiming that he got into the computer system at the lab
01:10and tampered with the DNA results.
01:15These are the original.
01:18And something about blackmailing Chelsea for money?
01:26She knows about this.
01:27Give it to me.
01:28It means she's known all along.
01:32She's lying to you, Paul.
01:34She's been lying to everyone.
01:36Look, I know you've grown attached to Thomas, but Geoffrey is Thomas's father.
01:43It's not you.
01:44We can't fake this as fact, alright?
01:47I mean, Geoffrey's probably just messing with us.
01:49Why?
01:50I mean, admittedly there's a lot of unanswered questions, but why would he send that to me and not you?
01:56I...
01:59I think I need to go and talk with Chelsea.
02:01Oh, well, I'm coming.
02:03No, no, I think I need to talk to her on my own.
02:05She manipulated you once.
02:07I'm not going to have her do it again.
02:10Would this be your first time?
02:13Second.
02:14I booked a guy online once from an agency.
02:18My thing is, I'm all about the one-to-one service.
02:22Well, all you have to do is tell me what you need.
02:31That is why I'm doing this.
02:34My ex-boyfriend swore he'd listen, but it was always as if he was putting on a performance for someone else.
02:42You deserve so much more.
02:45Never date an artist who thinks they should be more famous.
02:49Could we do tonight?
02:55I have something on.
02:58But any other time this week?
03:03It's either tonight or in a couple of months.
03:07Sorry, I probably should have said, but my job's on the road.
03:10Well, let's do tonight.
03:14I can move my other thing.
03:19If you're sure.
03:22I'm room 309 at Lasseter's.
03:27Lasseter's.
03:29It's the hotel next door.
03:31Yeah, I know it.
03:33So is that okay?
03:35Yeah.
03:36Yeah.
03:38It's no problem.
03:41Can't wait.
03:45We need to have a family pool tournament now.
03:48Oh, yeah.
03:49Murphy goes versus the rest.
03:51When he gets a day off happy duty.
03:52Oh, I've got your back.
03:54Is he asleep?
03:56He sure is.
03:58Oh, I guess my cuddles will have to wait.
04:00I just taught her the car rusher.
04:01Can you believe how nice I am?
04:03You're still calling her back?
04:05Hello.
04:07Chelsea.
04:09Therese just got a really strange letter from Jeffrey.
04:13He's claiming that he's Thomas's father and that he's blackmailing you.
04:16He also included a set of the DNA results, the real ones.
04:20I mean, that's all the letter says and I'm not saying we believe it.
04:24Do you know anything about it, Chelsea?
04:26And don't lie to us.
04:30Clearly I can see you don't.
04:33Chelsea?
04:34Okay, it's seven o'clock tonight. I will let them know.
04:48Oh, make sure Tay treats us right. I've had a big day. I want to celebrate.
04:52What are we telling Tay?
04:54That he's going to get us a bunch of free snacks later.
04:57Good luck with that.
04:58Alright, you guys argue. I have to go check on the truck.
05:00Okay.
05:02Hey, uh, look I know super last minute but can I change my shift from tonight to tomorrow, please?
05:09Tonight? Why?
05:11Reasons.
05:13Okay, let me check.
05:20Oh no, sorry. Angus has blocked out that time already. He's on holiday and he's the only one who can cover your duties.
05:26Maybe Holly.
05:27Oi, no way.
05:28Holly doesn't work for the piano bar staff. So, I'm sorry but you and Angus are the only ones who know how to close up.
05:39Hey, do you have a client tonight?
05:41Oh wait, you actually do. Do you have to cancel?
05:43Uh, um, but she's staying at the hotel so, I mean, maybe I can make it work.
05:49Dude, you can't service a client while you're on duty.
05:50Shut up.
05:51Seriously, you'll lose your job so fast. Only if they catch on.
05:54Is this because you wrecked the jacket? Dude, just like, make it up another day.
05:59No. I'm not, I'm not waking up tomorrow morning, all with no drip because I couldn't figure this out.
06:06Chelsea? Is there any truth to that?
06:18Paul seems to be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
06:20She's obviously been caught out. Why else can't she face us?
06:30I don't know if this makes any sense.
06:32Oh no, I think it's pretty simple.
06:34Geoffrey saw his payday and Chelsea just went along with it.
06:41Chelsea, why don't you tell us your version of the events, then we can all believe you.
06:45Chelsea, I mean, obviously we can just do another DNA test and that'll tell us once and for all.
06:54Oh, for God's sake. Look at her. She's got guilt written all over her face.
06:59The letter is true.
07:01Any new test will show that Geoffrey is Thomas's father.
07:06He faked the results to get money out of Paul through me.
07:15And you let him?
07:17I've only known for a couple of weeks.
07:20I was in a difficult position.
07:22I knew how attached Paul had become to Thomas.
07:25You should have told him the minute you found out.
07:29I'm sorry, Paul.
07:32I'm telling you now.
07:36Hey.
08:01Paul.
08:03Paul.
08:04You're in shock.
08:08Yeah, that's one word for it.
08:10Listen, I know you don't want to believe this, but this is Chelsea through and through.
08:15I mean, obviously I was never able to trust her, but I never ever wanted this outcome for you.
08:21I know you love Thomas.
08:24And I know how heartbroken you are.
08:29I'll come here. It's okay.
08:34I'm sorry.
08:37He cried himself back to sleep as he picked up on the tension.
09:07Well that wouldn't be very hard.
09:13I know you must hate me right now, but I swear to you I've only known for a couple
09:21of weeks.
09:22These dogs seem to support that.
09:26I only kept silent because of Thomas, Paul loves him and he's a much better father figure
09:32than Geoffrey.
09:33Way richer anyway.
09:38This is why you wanted to run away the other day isn't it?
09:41Because you knew this was going to come out.
09:42I wanted to tell you Cara, it's just such a mess.
09:46You sold it to me like things were awkward because you kissed Paul.
09:50You what?
09:51Things were 10 million times worse.
09:53I didn't want to drag you into it.
09:55You've just proven how naive I am to have trusted you again.
09:59Cara and I have done so much for you.
10:03You know I thought we'd finally done it.
10:05That all the bad stuff was behind us, but you told the worst lies just to get to somebody
10:12out.
10:13I guess our family's not good enough for you.
10:19Hey.
10:20Early.
10:21Yeah.
10:22You know, I don't know, the vitamin just felt right.
10:37I just got out of the shower.
10:39I was going to get ready.
10:40What do you have to do?
10:43I was going to moisturise.
10:44Oh, I can help or we could just do each other.
10:50Sorry, this is moving way faster than I expected.
10:55Oh, no worries.
10:58How about we get some champagne sent up first?
11:02From room service?
11:07My treat.
11:08I think they've got some good stuff from that piano bar.
11:11Do they?
11:12Cool.
11:13Let's have a drink and get to know each other.
11:18It's back to the grind day, mate.
11:24Yep.
11:25It's funny how quickly a holiday can become a distant memory.
11:28Though you guys have Europe to look forward to.
11:31Yeah.
11:32It does seem a little wrong to be so happy with Amanda's memorial tomorrow.
11:36Yeah.
11:37How's Jane?
11:38You know, it's a difficult time for her.
11:41Hey.
11:42Hey.
11:43You look like you've had a day.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Um, listen, there's been some developments and there's no easy way to lead into it.
11:53What's happened?
11:54It turns out that Thomas isn't your father's son.
11:59Geoffrey tampered with the DNA results for some godforsaken reason.
12:03I know.
12:04It's crazy.
12:05Hold on.
12:06I don't understand.
12:07Me neither.
12:08And it's for certain.
12:09Oh my god.
12:10How's dad taking it?
12:11He's in a place where he's not really ready to talk about it so I'm just giving him some
12:15space.
12:16I've made it sound like I've dated every man in the art world haven't I?
12:31No.
12:32There's just so many narcissists and they sew you the dream.
12:39I see who used the bathroom.
12:45Oh, thanks.
12:54This is beautiful.
13:03Oh, you're right.
13:04This moment does call for bubbles.
13:06Here, allow me.
13:15Cheers.
13:16This is more my speed.
13:30Is everything okay?
13:31No, yeah.
13:32Totally.
13:33Look, I don't mean to rush you, but I do want to show you how good I can make you feel.
13:42Oh, really?
13:43I mean, I've got moves your axes can't even dream about.
14:00I feel like I should have looked closer.
14:02I don't know, asked questions.
14:05I knew she couldn't be trusted.
14:07Oh, don't blame yourself.
14:09It's just such a sick situation.
14:11I don't know how someone could be that manipulative.
14:17Can I give you a hug?
14:26Hey, how did Therese see?
14:28Well, she's gutted.
14:29She's really worried about you.
14:31I wish I hadn't brought any of this upon her.
14:34What?
14:35You didn't.
14:36Chelsea and Geoffrey did.
14:37Do you think he's going to cause any more trouble?
14:40No, no.
14:41He's done his worst.
14:42Oh, I certainly need to raise that later.
14:44What was he hoping to gain from that?
14:47I'm sorry, Dad.
14:49I know that's not what you're going to think about right now.
14:53Yeah, I...
14:55I need to go for a walk, son.
14:56I need to go for a walk, son.
14:57Okay.
14:58Let's see.
14:59Okay.
15:00Oh...
15:02Oh, no.
15:03I thought it was gonna happen.
15:04Alright.
15:05Just wait.
15:07I was gonna get you.
15:07Oh, no, I can't do it.
15:08It's okay.
15:09Oh, no, I can't do it.
15:11Oh, no, I can't do it.
15:12But then I got a walk, son.
15:14I can't do it.
15:16I can't do it.
15:18I can't do it.
15:19You can't do it.
15:21do you need to get that no it's nothing but if it'll help you concentrate it's fine
15:35focused on you that is supposed to be the point of all this
15:40you're not even you know it's not a problem
15:49trust me
15:52are you sure
16:00it's fine
16:04look if you're not stressed are you just not into me

16:28I'm sorry
16:31I'll just make sure that you get a really good upgrade
16:37um just right this way thanks
16:41yeah so I sorted out that complaint and then another problem fell into my lap
16:49actually can you give me a sec yeah I might just check in again as well
16:52okay I'm completely recovered from today
16:55yeah I think it's probably gonna take me another couple decades hey I'm sorry I'm just wondering do you guys know what's going on with Tay
17:02uh how do you think well I already told him that he couldn't have tonight off but then I just saw him leave a hotel room and he wasn't wearing uniform and now I find out that he's gone home sick
17:11oh don't you yeah I know right whatever he's up to it's really seriously taking the mickey now
17:18probably just check whose hotel room that was I know don't why I he's really
17:24embarrassed but he's really sick really yeah he's got a um a bit of a stomach bug I had an accident before and he went to use one of the rooms have a shower because he just didn't want anyone to know
17:35um and he was feeling a bit weird before I think that's why he asked for the night off
17:42Cara and Remy went out they can't stand to look at me
17:48JJ and Dex?
17:50at friends places
17:52I'm sorry Chelsea I seriously underestimated Geoffrey
17:58he was never gonna let us be happy
18:03no
18:05no I think that letter was his parting shot
18:08why did you cover for me?
18:12you love Therese
18:16I don't want to ruin that for you
18:20it's very gracious of you thank you
18:23you've shown me nothing but kindness
18:27the least I can do is show you a little in return
18:31I know this was another chance for you
18:37after losing David
18:40I know and the thought of losing
18:44Thomas too I
18:46I
18:47I
18:49come on
18:50hey
18:52hey
18:54hey little Matt
18:56hey
18:58hey
18:59I'm so sorry little Matt
19:03I don't know how to say goodbye to you
19:13we're still in shock
19:27how's everyone else feeling?
19:29well I think everyone has a right to be shocked right now
19:32I really thought her having Thomas would have changed things
19:35obviously not nearly enough
19:37I ought to pull some food
19:41I can ask her to leave
19:46no actually
19:47something that I want to say
19:49I just came to some food but I can leave
19:52no don't run away Chelsea
19:54you can stay and hear me out
19:56no I made an effort for you
20:00because Thomas was Leo's brother
20:02or so he thought
20:03after what you did to hope
20:06and to me I just wanted to hate you forever
20:10but I put aside my grief for the sake of the family
20:14I prayed that this beautiful little baby would make you a better person
20:21but you have been just as manipulative and self-serving as you were with all your other children
20:29you're not a mother
20:33you are a toxic human
20:37and I honestly fear for Thomas growing up with a monster like you
21:07come you little baby
21:21come tell me
21:31it's okay
21:32don't worry my boy
21:34you'll have a better life
22:02alright
22:04is that you?
22:27coming up on Neighbours
22:28have you picked out an outfit for the memorial?
22:30I won't be going
22:31a lot of people are taking Amanda's death very hard
22:34just look after yourself Carl
22:36Chelsea's letter was very clear
22:38Thomas' home is with us
22:40Thomas' home is with his actual family
22:42that doesn't include you
