00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I didn't want you to make a decision you would regret.
00:04I'm sorry again for lying to you, Carl.
00:06I've already sent my resignation letter to Therese.
00:09You have to respect it.
00:10I'm the one that's costing the thing
00:12that he cares about the most.
00:14Oh my god.
00:15We better wash this.
00:16Sorry.
00:18You screwed up.
00:19I know that you're good at your job
00:20and I know it wasn't malicious.
00:21If it wasn't for you, none of this would have happened.
00:26I need to go to the toilet.
00:30Neighbours.
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:37With a little understanding.
00:42You can find the perfect plan.
00:48Neighbours should be there for one another.
00:55That's when good neighbours need friends.
01:00Good friends.
01:02Good friends.
01:04There you are.
01:19Tell me everything.
01:21Your first Brooke family bash.
01:23Was it amazing?
01:24Did Stephen just show you off like a brand new puppy?
01:27Not exactly, but hey, he was really happy to have me there.
01:31And how are the photos?
01:32Did you get them printed out okay?
01:34Yeah, yeah.
01:35Everyone loves them.
01:36Oh, that's fantastic.
01:38You know, you got back so late.
01:40I was beginning to wonder if I'd lost you.
01:42I mustn't have wanted to leave.
01:44You know, Max, have a good time?
01:45Change of plans.
01:46He had to hang with Sass.
01:47So I made my own fun.
01:48Okay.
01:49Why aren't you tucked up in bed?
01:50Oh, well, Susan's on a girls night out, so I thought I'd treat myself.
02:17Fair enough.
02:18Can I get you something?
02:19Yeah.
02:20Oh, hello.
02:21Hi.
02:22That was a trip.
02:23Well, the wedding was amazing.
02:25Shame you couldn't go on to New York with Paul.
02:27Well, sadly, Judy calls here.
02:30There's a certain doctor that needs replacing.
02:32You got my letter.
02:34I did.
02:36Come on, Carl.
02:37Please tell me that I can talk you out of leaving.
02:40Let's go.
02:41Oh, no.
02:42Home sweet home.
02:43Are you ready for the catch?
02:44Ready?
02:45Three.
02:46Captain Abigail, ready for touchdown.
02:47Touchdown.
02:48Oh, actually.
02:49Something I forgot.
02:50What'd you forget?
02:51Well, we're newlyweds, so.
02:52Yes.
02:53Oh.
02:54Oh, my God.
02:55Touchdown.
02:56Touchdown.
02:57Oh, my God.
02:58What?
02:59Touchdown.
03:00Oh, I know, sweetheart.
03:01It's a long flight, hey?
03:02Oh, Dad's already sending holiday pics.
03:03Is he?
03:04He was very excited to go to New York.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Well, he's pretty hyped about Andrew and Tash having a baby.
03:07I can see why we're going to get to the next day.
03:08Oh, you know, it's a good day.
03:09Oh, I know.
03:10Oh, my God.
03:11Oh, my God.
03:12Oh, my God.
03:13Oh, my God.
03:14Oh, my God.
03:15Oh, my God.
03:16Oh, my God.
03:17Oh, my God.
03:18Oh, my God.
03:19Oh, my God.
03:20Oh, my God.
03:21Oh, my God.
03:22Oh, my God.
03:23Oh, my God.
03:24Oh, my God.
03:25Oh, my God.
03:26Oh, my God.
03:27Oh, my God.
03:28I'm pretty hyped about Andrew and Tash having a baby.
03:30I can see why we went to spend time with them before the baby arrived.
03:33Yeah.
03:34It's really nice to be home.
03:36I just love what they've done with the place.
03:39I mean, the team nailed the brief.
03:40It's perfect.
03:41Yeah, well, it's definitely more us now.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Hmm.
03:45You know, this is exactly how I imagined us kicking off married life.
03:54All right.
03:55Captain Abby.
03:56Why don't we take this plane and land it in bed, eh?
03:58You seem a little bit tired.
03:59I'm ready for bed, darling.
04:00No.
04:01No, come on.
04:02It's already dark outside, all right?
04:03Good night, guys.
04:04Come on.
04:05Hey, can I, um, run something by you all?
04:19It's Sadie's 21st birthday this week and I brought her this bracelet before we broke
04:23up.
04:24Should I still give it to her?
04:25That's a tough one.
04:26Yeah.
04:27It's this really nice piece from this boutique jeweller that she's absolutely obsessed with.
04:31I don't know.
04:32Giving her jewellery might seem a bit too...
04:34Romantic.
04:35I know.
04:36And I don't want her to think that I'm not listening to her.
04:39But at the same time, you know, I think she'd love it and be sad not to give it to her.
04:44I think you should follow your instincts.
04:45You'll know what to do.
04:46Yeah.
04:47Well, I'll keep thinking on it.
04:50Thanks, Adina.
04:51Bye, brother.
04:52Bye.
04:54Bye.
04:55Bye, brother.
04:56Bye.
04:58Hey.
04:59Bye.
05:00Bye.
05:01Bye.
05:02Um, please just let me be a big brother and say this last thing.
05:06I think Dex is a good one.
05:07I think you are too.
05:08And I wouldn't be surprised if this first date is a hit.
05:11But I know you said you don't want anything to get in the way of school.
05:14So, if it does go well, then just don't lose sight of what's important to you.
05:19I won't.
05:20Promise.
05:21You're a good one too, Maxine.
05:23Oh.
05:24Taxi.
05:25I hope all this Dex talk isn't making you jealous.
05:30Speaking of studying, I might try to squeeze him in before bed.
05:36Mm-hmm.
05:37Night.
05:38Night.
05:39Hey, can we talk about Saskia?
05:46I really deserve someone who can give the job their full commitment.
05:50You understand?
05:51No, look, I really do.
05:52It's a shame Darcy's taken that away from you.
05:54What?
05:55It's time.
05:56That's all.
05:57I thought I had the perfect successor for you, but I was misinformed.
06:01Well, would that explain why I'm getting emails about when Remy's starting?
06:05Yeah, that's my fault.
06:07Short version is I thought I could buy Carl some thinking time, but it all went awry.
06:12I really am very sorry.
06:15I thought I'd walk you home if you're ready.
06:18Hmm.
06:19So, what's next?
06:21You're gonna hang up your stethoscope, turn the greenhouse into a recording studio.
06:24Oh, now that's an idea.
06:26Mm-hmm.
06:27Now, I've just heard about this part-time senior advisory role in the council.
06:31Senior advisory role?
06:32Like Mackenzie's old role?
06:33Oh, in a way.
06:34I think they want someone who can bring more worldly experience to the table.
06:38Right, so, um, to a senior's advisor?
06:41Well, that's the official wording, yes.
06:44You haven't mentioned this?
06:46Oh, I only put the application in tonight.
06:48You've applied already?
06:50Yeah.
06:51Yeah.
07:02Hey, it's us.
07:03Hey.
07:04We need to talk.
07:10I told Max about how you've been acting around me.
07:12What do you mean?
07:13Saskia, the inappropriate flirting.
07:16No, I've been nice to you because you're Max's friend and because you're her.
07:22If you thought different, that's on you.
07:25Sas, I don't think Byron wrote this wrong.
07:28Well, then he made it up.
07:30I'm sorry, but he has no reason to do that.
07:33I trust Byron.
07:34He said he made the boundary pretty clear and you kept crossing it.
07:37It's just, it's not okay, Sas.
07:39And it's not you.
07:40I...
07:41Why'd you do it?
07:42Won't happen again.
08:01Oh, hi, my love.
08:02We're just going over some deets for Sade's Big Bash.
08:05Hey, Wendy, leave the playlist to me.
08:07I'll go through all of Sade's music history and pick out her faves.
08:10Even the guilty pleasures she keeps secret.
08:13See, this is why planning must involve the best friend.
08:17I actually have to get ready for work, but can you keep me posted?
08:20Mm-hmm.
08:31Hey.
08:32Hey.
08:33You're welcome.
08:34So why'd you ghost me last night?
08:38I think you know.
08:44Us...
08:45Hanging out...
08:48It's inappropriate.
08:51What, because our legs touched?
08:55Seriously, Andrew, that's hardly a crime.
08:58And if it was, I'd be locked up
09:00because I do stuff like that with my friends all the time.
09:05Seriously, it's not a big deal unless we make it one.
09:09Look, I really appreciate all the help that you've given me.
09:14I really do, Holly.
09:18But this doesn't feel right.
09:21I've got to call it.
09:28Thanks for trusting me on this.
09:30I know it's a difficult situation.
09:32Yeah, dude, you're the one in the tough spot.
09:34God, Saskia must have made you feel so uncomfortable.
09:37It was awkward, but I was more worried about you and her.
09:40Oh, man, you're a good egg.
09:42It's so wild how out of character this is.
09:45Like, I just don't know how she can't see this as wrong.
09:48I just don't think she thought it through.
09:51I felt like one of those impulsive teenager things.
09:54Too young to know better.
09:55Yeah.
09:56When it comes to school, Saskia's always ahead of the game,
09:58but with relationships there's still a lot she doesn't get.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Well, she's a fast learner, right?
10:05Yeah.
10:06Hopefully this is just a once-off mistake.
10:11Hey, one more thing about the party.
10:12Mm.
10:13I wanted to check in with Sadie if she was okay with me inviting Gretchen and Stephen.
10:17What do you reckon?
10:18Yes.
10:19Yes.
10:20In the sky and fireworks.
10:22I was so bummed when I didn't get to meet Stephen.
10:26And, well, I want to clear the air with Gretchen.
10:29But the main thing is, I love this for you.
10:33Well, I better get to class.
10:36Otherwise, I'll be late and I'll have to give myself detention.
10:39We don't want that, do we?
10:41No.
10:42Which means you're going to have to give me my hand back.
10:46Well, I've got a deal for you.
10:48I will surrender your hand and save you from detention if you go to lunch with me.
10:54Oh, tough negotiator.
10:56Of course.
10:57Okay.
10:58Bye.
10:59See you later.
11:00Bye.
11:14Hey.
11:15Hey.
11:16Hi.
11:17Go to your text.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Good to your tex.
11:20Good on you for speaking to Saskia.
11:22Hope you're not beating yourself up about it.
11:24Yeah.
11:25It er....
11:27It wasn't a nice conversation to have.
11:29Sorry, I promise I'll perk up and not be Sad Max all day.
11:34It's Okay, if you need to be Sad Max, go for it!
11:37I mean, you and Saskia are so close, of course this thing does feel very well.
11:41Yeah, I just..
11:42I can't believe how well she hit it.
11:44I just don't normally keep things from each other like that.
11:48Well, don't take it personally.
11:50I mean, sometimes you do something
11:52and you don't want to admit that it was a bit wrong,
11:55so keeping it on the down low is the only way.
11:58But it doesn't mean that you don't feel bad about it.
12:03I think that was probably her headspace.
12:07I should reach out and offer to hang out.
12:10I just don't want her to feel any worse.
12:14What was that for?
12:19Just you, being you.
12:21Sad Max doesn't stand a chance around Holly.
12:24Whatever you need, I'm all yours.
12:26Do you want to do something fun, go on a shopping frenzy,
12:29have a fancy lunch?
12:31I don't need anything fancy, just you.
12:34Oh, OK, what a neg.
12:35I don't need anything nice, you'll do.
12:37No, I didn't mean it like that.
12:38Oh, no, it's OK. Don't sell yourself short.
12:40Go find someone fancy then.
12:41You are very fancy, way fancier than me.
12:44I'm not worthy of you and all your fanciness.
12:52Well, I have heard nothing but good things about yesterday.
12:56Sounds like it was a triumph.
12:57Chalk it up to the student's creativity.
13:01No, I think it was thanks to you.
13:04Can't tell you how much that means to hear, Jane.
13:06Hm.
13:07I'm going to keep up the good of it.
13:08Thanks.
13:31Hi.
13:32Hey, what's happened?
13:33You can pretend you didn't see me.
13:35No, never.
13:39Hi.
13:40Oh, hey.
13:41Hi.
13:42Welcome.
13:43Oh, hey.
13:44Oh, wow.
13:45I love what you've done to the place.
13:48It's very Tanaka.
13:53Come on in.
13:54And Clep, what happened to her with your face?
13:57You look like you've had more sun than us.
13:59Yep.
14:00OK, I know.
14:01Kick Nick.
14:02Everyone's out of turn.
14:03Yeah, because you would be so sensitive if it was one of us.
14:06Do we all know that Aaron has a new boyfriend?
14:08What?
14:09Who?
14:10Rhett.
14:11No way.
14:12Oh, boy last love first for the win.
14:15You know Colton's going back to Queensland.
14:17Yeah, yeah.
14:18It wasn't easy letting him down.
14:20But I know I'm with the right guy.
14:25I'm assuming that Abby is in bed having a sleep,
14:28not back in Paris having a home alone moment.
14:30No, her body clock's all upside down,
14:32so I've given her extra screen time with Bluey.
14:36Do you want to strain coax her into a nap?
14:38Oh, yeah.
14:39We know some tricks, don't we?
14:40We all do, obviously.
14:41You're going to tell Leo at some point, right?
14:47Yeah, of course.
14:48I just want to be sure first.
14:50Hmm.
14:57First time I felt like Max wasn't on my side.
15:00I thought Ryan was a nice guy, but he was so harsh.
15:04I'm sorry if I'm putting you in a weird position.
15:12I'm probably super close to Byron because of Sadie.
15:15No, it's all right.
15:19I didn't cross a line with him.
15:21I mean, nothing actually happened.
15:23Yeah, I know.
15:25I shouldn't be this upset, should I?
15:27Saskia, you heard two people that you look up to talking about you
15:35and it's hurt your feelings.
15:37I mean, I think it would be really strange if you weren't upset.
15:42I'm glad that you're being so honest about it.
15:46I got a choice.
15:47You caught me rolling my eyes out.
15:50Well, you could have shut me out.
15:52Instead, you opened up about a mistake you made
15:55and you're getting support.
15:58Those are very good choices.
16:03Thanks, Vic.
16:05I actually feel like you're on my side.
16:08That's because I am.
16:14Well, thank you, Colton.
16:16You've done so much for Irene in such a short time.
16:20You won't be forgotten.
16:21Well, after giving the people nude yoga
16:24and Barry Munlow tribute, I would hope not.
16:27Thanks.
16:28See ya.
16:30Hey.
16:32Ah, morning.
16:33Morning.
16:34Yeah, just, um...
16:36Yeah.
16:37Hits keep coming.
16:39I just need to pick up my things
16:41and I'm hopefully going to get you to write me a reference letter.
16:44Oh, for the senior's advisor role?
16:46Yeah.
16:47I think I can arrange that.
16:49And my interview's in two days.
16:50Oh, wow.
16:51That was quick.
16:52Yeah, that's what I said.
16:53And I know I'm a broken record when it comes to rushing into things.
16:56I guess they saw my application and knew I'd be a good fit, yeah?
16:59I'm just so lucky that a community-focused job like this has come up at exactly the right time.
17:04Listen, have you told the residents I'm officially leaving yet?
17:08And I know there's been chatter.
17:09No, no, no, no.
17:10Do you mind if I tell them myself?
17:13I just think with all the confusion over Remy it'd help.
17:19Hope you're prepared.
17:21The residents are going to be so sad to see you go.
17:22Yes, I mean, they won't be the only ones.
17:25Carl, you've been so generous and supportive with all the staff.
17:29You'll be sorely missed.
17:31Well, we've gone from the three musketeers down to the two.
17:35Shall we, uh, snap your couch?
17:46Yeah!
17:49Hey!
17:50Hey!
17:51Oh, Hol, I was thinking about your playlist for the party.
17:55I had an idea.
17:56How do you feel about hiring a karaoke machine?
17:59Oh, that's a huge vibe.
18:00And we wouldn't have to worry about noise complaints with this guy on side.
18:03Mm-hmm.
18:05Yes.
18:06Yeah, yeah.
18:08Um, she's a menace on the mic,
18:09so I think we should probably hire a karaoke bar in the city.
18:12It's for the greater good.
18:14Oh, okay.
18:15Well, I'm gonna be sorry to miss out, but I bow to your judgement.
18:19Hey, shall we?
18:20Oh, oh, okay.
18:21Bye.
18:23Um, so how are things getting on with Gretchen and Stephen?
18:26Are you onto them yet?
18:27Yeah, I, uh, I did get onto them, and they really came.
18:31I ran it past Sadie too, and she's all for it.
18:34Oh, I'm so glad you get a chance to bring both your families together.
18:38You deserve this.
18:40Now, what's to eat?
18:45That looks good.
18:46Should we get that one?
18:48Or maybe...
18:49And I can stay...
18:52All right.
18:53Anti-jet lag medicine is ready when you are, babe.
18:55Thank you, I'll be on the set.
18:56Okay.
18:57Okay.
18:58Hit me with your best shot.
19:14When were you gonna tell me about this?
19:17I haven't done it yet.
19:19I was gonna wait to be sure before telling you.
19:22Well, this is amazing.
19:25I mean, even the possibility you might be...
19:29The fact we're back on track now and we're all settled in here,
19:35the timing couldn't be more perfect.
19:36Why haven't you done it yet?
19:40I-I don't know, I...
19:43I guess I'm scared.
19:45What?
19:47Then it might be negative.
19:51Whatever the result is, we're in this together, okay?
19:54Hey, did you decide what you want to do with the bracelet?
20:04I decided to return it.
20:06It's a great present as a boyfriend, but as a friend, not so much.
20:11I think that's the right move.
20:15You don't agree?
20:18I'm just sad.
20:20Your relationship with Sadie was the one stable thing in your life.
20:24And now it's over.
20:26Because you're dabbled with the idea of pursuing law again,
20:29but showed no commitment.
20:31And you're still living in that share house like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.
20:35Easy, Mum. He's had a bit going on.
20:37I know, I know.
20:39But maybe you should use this downtime to try and find some direction in your life.
20:45To make some real plans.
20:48Hey, uh, I might...
20:50You should be close to what's a bad...
20:53Pulton.
20:54Hey.
20:56Hey.
20:57When are you heading off?
20:59This is it.
21:01Oh.
21:02Um, well, I guess I'm gonna miss seeing you around.
21:05Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for what you did with Brett.
21:07When I came to Melbourne, I really hoped something would happen for us.
21:14Yeah.
21:15Hey, I was genuinely open to it.
21:18I guess the best man won.
21:21But I do hope there's some alternate reality where you pick me.
21:26You pick me.
21:40So?
21:41I dropped the test in the toilet.
21:43Sorry.
21:45Um, that's okay.
21:46I'll just...
21:47I'll go buy another one.
21:49Oh, uh...
21:50Oh, hey.
21:51Hey.
21:52Is this spare time?
21:53Uh, depends who you're looking for.
21:55Leo's going out to get us a pregnancy test.
21:58Wow.
21:59I mean, that's huge.
22:00Yeah, I know, right?
22:04I was, um...
22:05I was just coming to check in on you, see how you're going.
22:08I thought you were gonna hold off with him a little longer.
22:10I was, but he found the test in my bag.
22:12Oh.
22:13Yep.
22:14I tried to buy a bit more time, so I dropped it in the toilet.
22:18It's gonna sound terrible, but Leo being this excited,
22:21this is exactly what I was afraid of.
22:24Listen, everything you're feeling is completely valid.
22:27I mean, it's so complicated, given your history.
22:32He is so happy.
22:34And I don't know if I'm ready to have another baby yet.
22:40I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope the test is negative.
22:45Coming up on Neighbors.
22:48I wanted to personally invite you to my 21st this week.
22:52Has Saskia said anything about this date to you?
22:55I swear, I really like it.
22:57I really hope you're telling the truth.
23:00So?
23:01Yeah.
23:02Yeah.
23:03Yeah.
23:04Yeah.
23:05Yeah.
23:06Yeah.
