00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I don't think we should see each other anymore.
00:05I'm Patrick. I'm too late.
00:07You're an escort too.
00:08What's your name?
00:09Sonny.
00:10They're native.
00:11Just right this way.
00:13And I honestly thought leaving Thomas with Paul would be the best thing.
00:17He's not even family.
00:18Maybe I should offer her and Thomas a room at Laceda's.
00:21They're not your responsibility.
00:23I'm here to offer you a room at the hotel.
00:26I have to look after myself and Nell.
00:28We're moving back to Ramsey Street.
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 to find a good sense.
01:06Can we at least talk about this?
01:07We are done talking!
01:09Therese, please, don't be angry at Paul.
01:12He's just trying to help us.
01:14I'll catch you up later, Rora.
01:15You don't have to do this.
01:16I have no choice!
01:17I have no choice!
01:18I have no choice!
01:19I have no choice!
01:20I am.
01:21I am.
01:22I am.
01:23Drunk and sleep, please
01:25And swear in the moon's cold light as winter
01:35Tie up this bootlace, this jealousy
01:42And pray you'll forgive so easy
01:53And against me, there's something here
01:59I know I won't feel again
02:03Hey, I know you're missing him
02:08Do I have to say it?
02:11I got too attached
02:13It would be hard not to
02:22Of course Thomas should be with Chelsea
02:28She's his mum
02:31That's just so unfair
02:36Am I an awful person for thinking that she doesn't deserve him?
02:47But we do
02:49No
02:53What am I going to do?
02:56I feel like if I see her again I'll lose it
02:59We put Thomas first
03:01We both need to find a way to just show them support
03:05I needed that
03:11Do you think we could do it again soon?
03:14You know how to reach me
03:15Oh, all this time for clients and no time for Max
03:23Is Max going to start buying me nice things?
03:26Oi, my company should be enough
03:27Um, so no more scheduling conflicts?
03:30Well, that's a polite way of putting things
03:33Yeah
03:33But no
03:34I'm actually pleased to report that
03:37Everything's under control
03:39Wish the same could be said about Byron Insides
03:42Yeah, I've been keeping a safe distance away from that one
03:46Yeah
03:47Instead, I'm just focusing on work
03:50And making sure there's no more repeats of Hotel Gay
03:53Wait, you've named it?
03:54It nearly went nuclear
03:57It deserves a name
03:58Yeah, fair enough
03:59Look
04:00Right now
04:02Money's coming in
04:03And life is good
04:04Hey!
04:05Hey, watch it
04:06See?
04:07Life is good
04:08See?
04:09Life is good
04:14Woo
04:15Woo
04:16Woo
04:18Woo
04:19Woo
04:20Woo
04:21Woo
04:22Woo
04:23And
04:32Aaron
04:33Raph
04:34It's good to see you
04:36Wow, yeah
04:37You too
04:38Sweaty hug?
04:39Yeah
04:40Hold on maybe not
04:42Yeah
04:43Oh, are you looking well?
04:45Yeah
04:46So are you
04:47How's life?
04:48How's Isla?
04:49We're good
04:51We're great
04:52Yeah, so silly.
04:54Wait, you've seen your daughter?
04:55Yeah, let's have it.
04:59Do you want to go get a coffee?
05:01Uh, yeah, I'd love that.
05:03Right.
05:11Richard?
05:12Hey.
05:14What's up?
05:18While I'm busy playing Beethoven,
05:21my wife is busy playing me.
05:24Things are good at home?
05:26She's having an affair.
05:28So, no, things are not good at home.
05:33Hmm, speak of the devil.
05:36That's your wife.
05:37For the moment, at least.
05:44You love to shoot music at home?
05:45Surprised you noticed.
05:47Oh, my God.
05:50Fingers.
05:58How's Therese?
06:00I thought I'd give her a minute.
06:01I'm so sorry.
06:04Think she'll change her mind?
06:05Uh, yeah, I'll, uh, I hope so.
06:09I'll talk to her again soon.
06:11Are you sure it's still okay for us to stay?
06:15Well, yeah, I mean, I made the offer.
06:17I'm not going to take it away.
06:21He's had a big sleep.
06:23I'm sure he's ready for a cuddle.
06:24I've been thinking, you could be Uncle Paul, if that works for you.
06:42And he could have an Auntie Therese, if she comes around to the idea.
06:47Well, I'm sure she will.
06:50Hey, everything's going to be okay, man.
06:54Everything's going to be okay.
07:08I'd better get back to Therese.
07:10Come on, little guy.
07:12See you, Tom-Tom.
07:13Come on, bye-bye.
07:14See you.
07:15Um, I'm not here to fight.
07:23I don't want that either.
07:26Well, I can't say that I'm happy after everything that's happened.
07:31But you are still my sister.
07:41Thank you so much for your understanding.
07:44Of course.
07:45Does this mean you're breaking up?
07:47Honestly, I can't think that far ahead.
07:49I'm so sorry.
07:53Listen, Darcy should be out of the house soon.
07:55I told him to store some stuff in the garage until he gets back on his feet.
08:01Oh, please don't do this.
08:04Therese, I love you.
08:06And I didn't mean this as a slide against you.
08:08Really?
08:10How else am I supposed to take it?
08:13Come on.
08:14I can't just switch my love for Thomas off like that.
08:17Okay, listen.
08:17I understand you have an emotional attachment to the child.
08:20I really do.
08:21But I also have to have some level of respect for myself.
08:25I respect you too.
08:27Do you?
08:29I told you to let Chelsea sort things out for herself.
08:33The next minute you're moving her into the hotel anyway.
08:35Just to have a child close by that's not even yours.
08:40So while you're doing whatever you feel you need to do, I need some space.
08:54I took Tilly to her first footy match the other week.
08:56Her new favourite phrase is, up the pines.
08:59I don't have the heart to tell her she comes from a long line of Richmond supporters.
09:02It's so great that she's back in your life.
09:04Yeah, well that's all thanks to you.
09:05You know, when I saw the bond that you shared with Isla, it really kicked me into gear
09:08and I made the effort to reconnect with Tilly's mum.
09:10That is amazing.
09:12Yeah, I've been having regular visits and obviously...
09:18Hey, how's Patrick?
09:20Uh, yeah, that didn't quite work out.
09:23Turns out the whole having a kid thing was a bit of a sticking point.
09:27I'm so sorry.
09:28Don't be.
09:29Can't say all this was given, but we had a good chat.
09:32Oh, I'm glad.
09:34I just hope Tres and Paul can find a way through this.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Hey, is that Rhett?
09:39Mm, I believe it is.
09:43No, my hat, my hat.
09:44Coffee?
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:57Krista, Leo, hey.
09:59Hey.
09:59Hey.
10:00What's going on?
10:01What do you mean?
10:02Don't you think the ambiance is a little wrong?
10:05Oh, yeah.
10:06Look, Richard's going through some stuff.
10:09Stuff or not, it's not appropriate.
10:11Krista, this is Beethoven.
10:13It's upsetting.
10:15Totally agree.
10:16I should ask someone to have a chat with him.
10:20You're the manager, Tate.
10:22Manage.
10:23Hey, Richard.
10:31Could you maybe please just perk it up?
10:34Just a little.
10:35Just a little.
10:49Is it dead?
10:50When we started talking, it just felt like no time had passed at all.
10:59It felt so natural.
11:01Okay, so what does this mean?
11:02Oh, come on, babe.
11:03Give the guy five minutes.
11:03I have to shush, okay?
11:05You know, we need some good news after this whole Paul Tereves business.
11:08Oh, yeah, I can't believe Paul let Chelsea move back into the hotel.
11:11Hey, it's about you and your love life.
11:15Go.
11:17I'm open to it.
11:18Really?
11:18Yeah, I am.
11:20After what happened with Colton on Hamilton Island, I really think I'm truly ready.
11:25Oh, I think this is going to be great for you.
11:27Oh, my God.
11:28Yay, cheers.
11:29Cheers.
11:29I'm going to take my break.
11:53Sure.
11:57I thought he'd never leave.
11:59He works here, Monica.
12:00I just wanted to say that if I'd known you were my husband's manager, I never would have pursued things.
12:06He thinks you're having an affair.
12:10We've been together 15 years.
12:12I still love him.
12:13I feel guilty about it, but I'm just not satisfied.
12:17I've tried telling him, but he either doesn't understand or he's not listening.
12:22Honestly, I don't know what's worse.
12:24You're not the first escort I've hired.
12:26You all right?
12:50Yeah, I, um, I just didn't expect to be back here.
12:54You totally understand how heavy these bags were, eh?
13:05I thought we hired some muscle.
13:07Oh, I'm getting paid now?
13:09Oh, thanks, JJ.
13:10All right.
13:11Hey, um, how many suitcases are left in the car?
13:13Um, I counted six.
13:16Off you go then, muscles.
13:18Go on.
13:18Hmm.
13:19It's gonna be all right, right?
13:24And I shall cherish so carefully the little you're left to take.
13:41Tied up with heavy hands, but ready.
13:46Push the rest of it away.
13:51Some never sleep so well, yet we're settling here today.
13:57Ball up with ragged breath, so steady.
14:01Turn the hourglass again and again.
14:05Breathe out little doubts and find your way home to me.
14:14Oh, to the patient days so long ago now.
14:22All right.
14:22Say whatever it is you need to say.
14:24Just tell me how you see this all playing out.
14:27Oh, look, I'm merely helping Chelsea get on her feet.
14:31What, and you don't think she's gonna string that out?
14:33Take advantage of you?
14:34No, I won't let her.
14:37You know, she actually suggested that I be an uncle figure in Thomas' life.
14:42I kinda like that.
14:43Do you think that's realistic, considering the bond you already have with him?
14:47Well, it's a compromise.
14:49I mean, with time, Therese could even be an auntie.
14:52Could all work out fine.
14:54Really, Dad?
14:56All right, well, I'm in this situation now, so what would you suggest?
14:58First, you need to get Chelsea on her feet and get them both out.
15:02If you don't, you'll lose Therese.
15:14I can't give you the details.
15:17This is almost worse than Hotel Gate.
15:20It can get worse than that.
15:22I never thought that I would end up in this kind of jam.
15:25I know what to do.
15:26So, I'm taking it that the sickie alibi I gave you last time will be no good.
15:36Dude, I'm guessing you didn't mean it.
15:39Right?
15:41So, maybe just be honest about that.
15:42Hey.
15:59What do you want?
16:02To say sorry?
16:07I didn't know Monica was married to you.
16:10And we didn't mean for you to find out about our arrangement.
16:19I just, I don't understand why she's doing this.
16:23What am I doing wrong?
16:32Perhaps you, you just need to change where you're focusing your intention.
16:39You know, find the right spot.
16:43Come on, Richard.
16:44You're a musician.
16:45Work your way up the keys.
16:49A, B, C, D, E, F.
17:01You seem well rested at least.
17:04I always sleep better in hotel rooms.
17:06Even your subconscious prefers the finer things.
17:09Mmm, expensive subconscious.
17:11Hey, can we still see Thomas?
17:13Of course.
17:15You and Jax are welcome around any time.
17:16Great.
17:17I'll make sure Dex leaves the mango at home this time.
17:21He's convinced that Thomas loves it, but it actually just puts him straight to sleep.
17:25That's not a bad thing.
17:27No.
17:28Ah, Chelsea, there you go.
17:30So, now that you've got a roof over your head, I was thinking maybe we could talk about the next steps.
17:35What did you have in mind?
17:37Well, how would you feel if I invested in your perfume business?
17:42Are you serious?
17:43Yeah.
17:44I mean, I know that you want to bring it back to life.
17:46And this way you can set your own hours so you can be there for Thomas any time you want.
17:50I mean, you'll be self-sufficient in no time at all.
17:55Ah, take that as a yes then.
18:05Brad!
18:06Here we are again.
18:09Hey.
18:10Hey, um, did you want to catch up again for, like, a coffee or a beer or a meal?
18:16Wow, that escalated quickly.
18:17And I would love to get a coffee or a beer or a meal.
18:21Or we could just do all of the above.
18:22Great.
18:23Well, I mean, I'm free later this morning.
18:24So am I.
18:25Great.
18:25Hey, I feel like talking to you yesterday, I realised I probably moved on with Patrick
18:31a little bit too quickly.
18:32Ah.
18:33In hindsight, it wasn't a great call.
18:35It's...
18:36It doesn't matter.
18:37I mean, like, are you ready to move on from Patrick now?
18:42Oh, yeah.
18:43I mean, that was ages ago.
18:44I'm all good.
18:45Right?
18:46You know what?
18:47I reckon we can do better than all of the above.
18:49How about you meet me at the Lake at 11?
18:50Well, we just wanted to let you know that you have our fulls.
18:58Yeah, and we don't agree with what Dad did, but we do know he loves you.
19:01Yeah, I have to keep reminding myself of that.
19:04On the bus side, we're back at Rouncy Street.
19:06Mm-hmm.
19:09Hey.
19:09Oh, hey, JJ.
19:10Um, do you guys need any help with the unpacking?
19:13No, I think we're all good.
19:14Yeah, good thing you didn't have to move any furniture.
19:17How was breakfast?
19:19Yeah, good, good.
19:19Yeah, I'm sure Dex would have much rather had a big recce than do his English essay.
19:25Was it just you and your mums?
19:27Yeah, yeah, it was just, yeah, me, Mum, Mara, and Chelsea.
19:33Oh.
19:35You all right?
19:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm, yeah, tip top, tip top.
19:41Right.
19:43Oh, why do I feel like I'm missing something?
19:47JJ.
19:48Um, no, uh, uh, Paul, uh, came by through too, um...
19:55What did Paul say?
19:59Just something about, like, um, like investing in Chelsea's perfume business, uh, and...
20:05And then she hugged him as well?
20:09Oh, can't be that bad, right?
20:11Just helping him get back on her feet.
20:13I don't want to feel this way.
20:15I'm not going to feel this way.
20:16Well, I am pleased to announce that Aaron Brennan is back in the game!
20:31Yes, mate, that's what I'm talking about.
20:33Hey, I saw you on break, uh, yesterday.
20:34You seem really happy.
20:36Yeah, it felt pretty good too.
20:37And we've got another date lined up today.
20:39Thanks for the advice last night.
20:47It helped me turn everything around.
20:50Yeah, dude.
20:51I still have no idea what's going on, but I will take the win.
20:55I accept tips as well.
20:57You know, uh, cash, food, beverages.
21:01Beverages.
21:04It is good to see you less stressed, though.
21:06Uh, do you reckon your client's okay?
21:10Yeah.
21:12I reckon they're doing just fine.
21:25Oh.
21:26Just trying to call you.
21:28Um, listen, I want to be transparent.
21:31So, you should know that in order for Chelsea and Thomas to get on stable ground...
21:35I know, darling.
21:39You offered to invest in her business.
21:41Yeah.
21:41And she gave you a big hug, apparently.
21:44I don't know if I'd call her a big hug.
21:45Well, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
21:48But here I am, once again, imagining scenarios in my head.
21:53But how can I not when it comes to Chelsea?
21:55All right, well, just take a breath and let me explain.
21:57No.
21:58No.
21:58You know, I thought it was enough, me moving back to Ramsey Street.
22:03I thought I would be on stable ground.
22:07Let it play out.
22:09This obligation you have towards Thomas.
22:12It's not an obligation.
22:13I want to help.
22:14Yeah, and that's exactly the problem.
22:16You want to help.
22:20It's a choice you're making.
22:23Please, can you just give a little time?
22:25I thought, I thought I could, but I can't.
22:33So I'm giving you the choice.
22:37You cut them out of your life.
22:40Completely.
22:40And if you don't, then we are through.
22:42Coming up on Neighbours.
22:50Chris, does it say she gets getting calls to reception for a sunny Manhattan?
22:53Do you guys know what that's about?
22:54No.
22:55Sorry, we wouldn't have a clue.
22:57I'm sorry, Chelsea.
22:58I can't help you after all.
23:00Therese, can I have a word?
23:02Aaron.
23:04Colton?
