00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02Gran said they're from Sandy Point.
00:03My biological dad was in the Navy.
00:05Well he says he only wants to find them if they're good people.
00:08Is he down at the office?
00:09Just remember that you're protecting Amanda's legacy.
00:12You can't let other people's agendas get in the way of that.
00:15Why don't you just make me co-trustee?
00:16That's it!
00:17There's a lot about Amanda's death that doesn't make sense.
00:19Dr. Holdsworth and Darcy are in business together,
00:22so I thought it might be time to give the good doctor a call.
00:25Chelsea's letter was very clear.
00:27Thomas's home is with his actual family.
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
00:59We've spoken to everybody in the family, but nobody's heard from her.
01:09Well it's not the first time Chelsea's gone around.
01:11Well, wherever she is she'll be missing her little mate.
01:15In the meantime he's here with us and here he'll stay.
01:19What if this turns into a long-term thing?
01:22We're his aunts. We'll adopt him if we have to.
01:25Do you think that's jumping the gun a little bit?
01:27It's no harm looking into the process. Just in case.
01:33I wonder what that's about.
01:34I think I can guess.
01:36I better get going. See ya.
01:38See ya.
01:39See ya.
01:44Who is it?
01:46Who do you think?
01:47Oh God, voicemail again.
01:50Kara knows that I want to see Thomas and she won't even take my damn calls.
01:57So much for distance, helping Paul take a step back.
01:59He's still so fixated.
02:03I honestly thought taking Thomas to Kara's would be a good thing.
02:06That's why I push so hard.
02:08Yeah, I think letting go has to be Paul's decision.
02:15Chelsea has a lot to answer for.
02:18Yeah, well hopefully it's the last we see of her.
02:21Where have you been?
02:28I'm sorry.
02:31I thought I was doing everyone a favour by going away.
02:35But I couldn't do it.
02:37I couldn't live without him.
02:42Where's Thomas?
02:46You know Dad, I just, I didn't ask for any of this.
02:48I was just like...
02:49I know.
02:49Look, I don't know what happened just before, but I'm sure you can work it out.
02:56Well, I'm not confused about the will.
02:59I know I need to honour Amanda's wishes.
03:01Then what's upsetting you then?
03:05It's Byron.
03:08What do you mean?
03:09He doesn't respect me as an equal.
03:11He looks down on me.
03:12Sadie.
03:13Maybe he always has.
03:15I mean, I'm the opposite of any girl he's ever been with before.
03:19Decades younger for starters.
03:21Sweetheart.
03:23Maybe you just need to let the dust settle on this one.
03:25But maybe this is one of those moments where everything just turns crystal clear.
03:29And my eyes just need to be open for me to see it.
03:40Are you looking for teaching jobs?
03:41Oh, no, no, no.
03:44Census records.
03:45Decided to look for Andrew's biological parents.
03:48Right, I didn't realise you were going to look into it so quickly.
03:52Well, yeah, I have to make up for the pain I caused.
03:58Even though he's in two minds.
04:01Well, here's the thing.
04:02If I find them and they're decent people, then I can tell him.
04:06And if not, then I can drop it.
04:09He never needs to know.
04:10Can you do that under the radar?
04:15Well, I already am.
04:16I have discovered that the year that Andrew was born,
04:20there were three families with naval connections living in Sandy Point.
04:24Well, that fits with the information that you got from his grandmother.
04:27Yeah.
04:30I forget where you're coming from, but Sadie was just trying to do what she thinks is right.
04:33Yeah, but she's not seeing the bigger picture.
04:36Hey, what's the latest?
04:38Sadie seems to have made things really personal.
04:40She's the one shopping us.
04:41You're the let.
04:44If she doesn't make me co-trust there, we've got no other option.
04:47We're going to have to formally contest the will.
04:49Damn straight.
04:54All right, um, Jean Drayton would like her physio on site every Tuesday.
05:00Uh, yeah, okay. I think we can make a space.
05:04Oh, and I had a call from Agnes Adair.
05:06She'd like her record sent to a doctor in Port Douglas.
05:10We had a lovely chat.
05:13I don't think we're going to be seeing her back here anytime soon.
05:19Um, Susan, what will it take for you and I to get back to normal?
05:26I'm sorry, Darcy.
05:28The situation between you and Carl is really upsetting.
05:31Yeah, I wish it wasn't.
05:34Well, for the record, I hope that Therese has Carl back here as soon as possible.
05:44Thank you, uh, for the update.
05:45Um, I think room D will work for Jean's physio.
05:48I think room D will work for you.
06:00Anthony.
06:02What the hell are you doing here?
06:04I had a call from a friend of yours.
06:06He told me about your little setup here.
06:09A friend?
06:10Does the name Carl Kennedy ring a bell?
06:12I know you want to protect Thomas, but this talk of adoption is maybe a little premature.
06:21Is it?
06:22So much uncertainty hanging over the little guy.
06:24Even so.
06:25Well, I'm just glad that you're too young to understand any of this.
06:30Chelsea.
06:31Can we come in?
06:32Yes, of course.
06:40Chelsea.
06:42You abandoned him.
06:44I'll explain why I did that.
06:46It's because you're not capable of being responsible.
06:48Kara.
06:50No, you don't just get to squand back in here and think that everything will be okay.
06:54Kara, please. He's my son.
06:59I know I caused a lot of hurt and I'm sorry.
07:06I was feeling so overwhelmed and ashamed.
07:11And I honestly thought leaving Thomas with Paul would be the best thing.
07:17He's not even family.
07:19You should have left him here.
07:22How could I?
07:23You were so angry with me.
07:24Oh, and whose fault is that?
07:33Well, I'm back now.
07:40Kara.
07:40Hey, my baby boy.
07:56Hi.
07:58Mummy's here.
07:59So what now?
08:10I don't want to be away from my son ever again.
08:13Great.
08:15You can stay here.
08:16Actually, I want to find my own place.
08:25Learn how to be a better mum.
08:27I think it's the best thing for you two.
08:38Um, look, this is a family matter.
08:41I think, um, I think we should go.
08:44I think we should take this conversation elsewhere.
09:02Why?
09:02I'm enjoying seeing you squab.
09:07Anthony, look, I know I let you down, mate.
09:10And I appreciate that you haven't told Carl about, you know, what happened between us.
09:14Oh, he had a lot of questions.
09:17Well, he's got an axe to grind, that's all.
09:20That seems to be a common theme with you, mate.
09:24I paid my debt back.
09:27What else do you want?
09:29Tell me about your new health centre.
09:33Carl's got a big mouth.
09:34I want a stake.
09:3650%.
09:38I can't do that.
09:39Don't worry.
09:39I'll be a silent partner, okay?
09:41I need to get my licence back and this will help.
09:44It's not going to be up and running for a while.
09:46Why not?
09:49Because I don't want people asking questions about where I got the funding from.
09:54You hadn't changed.
09:57Just say you're an investor.
09:59Can't do that.
10:00But the timing, it's very sensitive.
10:06I'm going to need a few weeks.
10:07I don't have a few weeks, mate.
10:11Announce the centre with me as partner.
10:14Or I'll call Carl Kennedy and have a very honest conversation.
10:19Sorry to interrupt.
10:20Oh, quite all right.
10:22Dr Anthony Hallsworth.
10:24Oh, Susan Kennedy.
10:25Nice to meet you.
10:25Oh, well, the pleasure is all mine.
10:29We will speak soon.
10:31Yeah.
10:32See you, Anthony.
10:34Well...
10:35What was all that about?
10:37Well, I might have found an investor from my health centre.
10:39Who'd have thought?
10:44No, there's no way that a judge wouldn't side with us.
10:47Yeah, I'll make a couple calls.
10:48Make that.
10:48Just be nice.
10:50You're contesting the will?
10:51Did you message her?
10:53She's my best friend.
10:53Of course I messaged her.
10:55Why can't you see things from our point of view?
10:56Because mine's just as valid.
10:58Amanda was my friend, okay?
10:59And I listened to her.
11:00I understood why she was so passionate about this.
11:02Okay, but she was our family.
11:04What you are doing is not okay.
11:06Do you know what's not okay?
11:07You dismissing me.
11:08You just don't respect me.
11:09Okay, what are you talking about?
11:10This isn't about us.
11:12You know what, Byron?
11:12I can't do this anymore.
11:14We're over.
11:24Are you okay?
11:27Talk to me.
11:37She has every right to be angry.
11:40So do you.
11:51So the good news is, Chelsea seems like she's very much committed to Thomas again.
11:56Is she going to leave Earnsboro?
11:59No, I'm not really sure.
12:00I know she doesn't want to stay at Carras though.
12:02Yeah, it was tense.
12:05You know, maybe I should offer her and Thomas a room at Lasseter's.
12:09No, Paul.
12:11They're not your responsibility.
12:13Yeah, it's all the same.
12:14Thomas shouldn't have to suffer because of his mother's poor decision making.
12:17No!
12:18No!
12:18Look, I know you're missing Thomas, but having them nearby is just prolonging the agony.
12:28I agree, Paul.
12:30It's time to let them go.
12:32Once and for all, for his sake and ours.
12:37It was like watching a car crash, except you don't know if the car is actually going to crash.
12:42They were both saying really awful things to each other and then all of a sudden Sadie just
12:46dumped him.
12:46Crash.
12:47Wow.
12:48Hey, did you get a hold of that doctor guy?
12:54Oh, Dr. Holdsworth.
12:55Yes, I did.
12:57Anything?
12:58Well, yes, he was in business with Darcy, but the venture failed.
13:02He said it all ended very amicably.
13:04Well, that doesn't fit with what Tess said, does it?
13:06No, no, it doesn't.
13:08Hey.
13:08Oh, hi.
13:09I brought lunch.
13:10Kitchen made extra.
13:12Oh, thank you.
13:12How was your morning?
13:14Uneventful.
13:16Darcy had a visitor.
13:18Oh yes, who?
13:20An investor for his health clinic.
13:22Dr. Hallsworth, I think he said his name was.
13:24So it looks like Darcy might soon be off doing his own thing after all.
13:34Hey, uh, things got a bit out of hand before I don't think you say what you mean.
13:37Um, once Nana's estate's all finished, I'm sure we can get back to normal.
13:41Oh, thanks for mansplaining it to me, but no.
13:43What, why?
13:45Things just haven't been the same since the fire.
13:47The fire says I thought you didn't blame me for that.
13:49I don't, but deep down something wasn't right and I just could not put my finger on it.
13:54Okay, well, what are you saying?
13:55Because I am struggling to keep up here.
13:58Byron, you've been a good boyfriend, okay?
14:00A great one, even.
14:01I'm not denying that.
14:02But we are just different people and a spotlight has just been shone on that, okay?
14:07Okay, if this is about what Nick said about your career,
14:09and me not backing you up, I-
14:11It's about how I've always felt from you.
14:12But you, you felt what?
14:15That you looked down on me.
14:18It first happened when I got this.
14:21The note?
14:21Sadie, how have we gone from my dead grandmother's will to your nose ring?
14:25Because it's all connected, okay?
14:26When Amanda asked me to carry out her final wishes, I felt special and I felt valued.
14:31But not from you.
14:32I am sorry, that was never my intention, Sadie.
14:38It's okay, you don't have to apologise for who you are.
14:42But we're just different.
14:46We always have been, Byron.
14:51We're just not meant to be.
14:58For what it's worth, I think Chelsea really learned a lesson this time.
15:02Hershey.
15:04She's Thomas's mum.
15:07Whatever happens, we have to support her.
15:10And I'm here to support you, okay?
15:21You can't leave.
15:24I can't stay either.
15:27It's not fair on you.
15:30But you've got nowhere else to go.
15:31I'm here to offer you a room at the hotel, free of charge.
15:48Are you serious?
15:49Hmm.
15:50Yeah, well Thomas needs stability in if you're not going to stay here.
15:52Why not?
15:54Then come to the hotel.
15:55I don't even have the room for as long as you need it.
15:58What does Therese think about this?
16:00Well, she'll support whatever's best for Thomas.
16:05Well?
16:07Please don't go.
16:08I can't thank you enough for looking after Thomas.
16:20But I have to stand on my own two feet.
16:24Under his roof.
16:30It's the best option I've got.
16:32Jane, I know I should be focused on Sadie,
16:55but I'm just finding myself going down this rabbit hole.
16:58An Andrew-sized one?
16:59Mm-hmm.
17:00Yeah, I had this idea to look up the website for the hospital where Andrew was born.
17:06So I typed in the surname of the three Sandy Point families into the search function.
17:11And voila.
17:13Voila what?
17:14Well, one of the families made a big donation to the hospital in the mid-80s.
17:19And why is that significant?
17:22Because the donation was made three days after Andrew was born.
17:25I mean, that's, you know, that's going to mean something.
17:27Oh, well, I don't know.
17:31Don't you think it's pretty crazy how easily that information came to me?
17:35I mean, there it was.
17:38Right, so what are you going to do?
17:41Well, if I can get the contact details for one of the family members and I can reach out.
17:51You don't think it's a good idea?
17:54It all seems to be happening very quickly.
17:57Maybe you should proceed with caution.
18:00There is a lot going on at the moment.
18:02Do you really want to add this to the mix?
18:04Do you want to add this to the mix?
18:10Here.
18:21I can't thank you enough for this.
18:26Well, you know, making the best of a difficult situation, isn't it?
18:30Because it meant a lot to me, you leaving Thomas in my care.
18:35He couldn't ask for a better father figure than you.
18:39Yeah, well, I was prepared to raise him as my son.
18:44Do you want to hold?
18:45No, no, no. I'll let you settle him in here.
18:51Besides, I'll have to go and see Therese anyway.
18:54I take it she still doesn't know about the timing of you learning the truth about Geoffrey?
19:00No, and she must never know.
19:03What are you going to say about us moving in?
19:05Hmm, I'll just make her understand that it's what's best for everyone.
19:10Anyway, we'll let you get settled.
19:12Paul.
19:22For looking out for us.
19:25For thinking of Thomas's future.
19:26Oh, yeah, Paul, it's me.
19:40I tracked down the doctor that Darcy was in business with.
19:42What, the one Tess said, put belly up?
19:44Yeah, yeah, it was Dr. Holdsworth.
19:47He was very curious from the time Darcy was working at Arrini Rising.
19:50Okay.
19:51Yeah, and before you know it, he's down at Arrini and he's investing in Darcy's new health center.
19:56Oh, that's convenient.
19:57Yeah, it was straight out of the blue as well.
20:00Does it squash your suspicion Darcy was after Amanda's money, though?
20:04Not really.
20:05I mean, something's not right.
20:06I just can't work it out.
20:08Well, he'll trip up eventually.
20:09You can count on that.
20:11Yeah, listen, I've got to go.
20:13Bye.
20:23Darcy?
20:27I believe congratulations are in order.
20:29Sorry, I didn't make it into the office today.
20:35Oh, just bring one of those days.
20:37Oh, don't apologize.
20:39So, how's Paul feeling about the Chelsea and Thomas situation?
20:43Yeah, better.
20:43He's backing off.
20:44Well, that's a relief.
20:46Oh, listen, in other news, we've got someone flying in tomorrow to interview for the assistant
20:51manager's position.
20:51Oh, any experience with the seniors community?
20:54Yeah, a couple of years.
20:56Best applicant by far.
20:57Sounds promising.
20:59Hey, how did you go today with Darcy?
21:02I can't fault him.
21:05I just can't stop thinking about what Carl's accused him of.
21:08Yeah, I'm the same.
21:10Oh, I've got a missed call from Paul.
21:12Oh, hold on, excuse me.
21:14Krista, hi.
21:19What?
21:29Darcy!
21:42Oh, have you spoken to Therese?
21:43No, no, she hasn't returned my call.
21:56Therese, I've been trying to get a hold of you.
21:58So you did move her in.
21:59Well, yeah, she had nowhere else she could go.
22:01Well, she could have stayed at Kara's.
22:03She could have gone anywhere but here.
22:05Listen, I know you're hurting over Thomas, but this is too much.
22:10I have to look after myself and Nell.
22:12What do you mean?
22:15I've asked Darcy to vacate the house.
22:17We're moving back to Ramsey Street.
22:24Coming up on Neighbours.
22:26Do you think we could do it again soon?
22:28You know how to reach me.
22:29She's having an affair.
22:30That's your wife.
22:31Speak of the devil.
22:33So now that you've got a roof over your head,
22:34I was thinking maybe we could talk about the next steps.
22:36What did you have in mind?
22:38All right.
22:39Brett?
22:40Oh, it's good to see you.
22:40Yeah, you too.
