00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02This is to show my support for your next chapter.
00:05We're just going over some deets for Sadie's Big Bash.
00:08Seriously, it's not a big deal unless we make it one.
00:10We've got to call it.
00:11I am so happy what Gretchen said wasn't true.
00:14I wanted to check in with Sadie if she was okay with me inviting Gretchen and Stephen.
00:18No, this is me going on a date.
00:20Out of the blue, we just made up this pathetic excuse to leave.
00:23Jane, that's Gavin Bowman.
00:25He's the one that poisoned the wine at the Irene bought.
00:28And he kidnapped Holly.
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 became good friends.
01:05I thought there was something familiar about him, but with the nerves of the date I just didn't put two and two together.
01:13Well, suddenly I'm very grateful he walked out on you.
01:16Only now I've re-engaged with him.
01:19Can you take back a message?
01:20Oh, show me.
01:21I mean this might work if he hasn't already read it.
01:24Oh, please, please, please.
01:26My skin is crawling.
01:28Good thing I didn't leave my drink alone with him.
01:31Why did they let people like him out of prison so soon?
01:34Yeah.
01:35And he was being so casual, you wouldn't even know that there was anything off.
01:39Do you think Holly's been notified?
01:41Oh, surely Susan would have said something.
01:43And don't forget about Dex as well.
01:44Well, we need to tell them.
01:48A cake? For me?
01:50Well, I thought the occasion called for it.
01:52Jayden's picking it up on the way over.
01:54Oh, couldn't the boys have done that?
01:55Yeah, if you want to text her to eat it all.
01:58Ready to range a glass for Constable Barger Murphy?
02:01You promise we'll be on our best behaviour, officer.
02:04Oh, says you.
02:05This is a celebration, isn't it?
02:07Hey, thanks for being here, guys.
02:08It really means a lot.
02:09Of course.
02:11You really deserved it.
02:12I almost cracked up laughing when you presented me with my badge.
02:15You look so serious.
02:17Thanks.
02:18Well, I was actually going for dignified and supportive.
02:20You absolutely were.
02:21You both were.
02:22Are the boys here yet?
02:24Oh, they're back there with Tay.
02:25They're getting a tour of the academy.
02:27Oh, the photos I took of you guys turned out so nice.
02:30Look.
02:35Oh.
02:36Nice.
02:37That actually makes me a little bit emotional.
02:40Aww.
02:41Come on.
02:42Let's go crack your good beers before Tay gets back.
02:43Woo!
02:44Great idea.
02:49Sadie's really had some crashing moments.
02:51So have I, obviously.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Um, are you still keen to go out later after the family thing?
02:56Uh, yeah.
02:57Karaoke, remember?
02:58Yeah.
02:59Yeah, just checking.
03:00I promise I'll duet any song with you.
03:01I owe you a good night after the bar.
03:03Um, it's all good.
03:04Don't worry.
03:05No, come on.
03:06You deserve a backup singer.
03:07I do.
03:08But have you heard yourself?
03:10Uh, pity we can't make Byron come.
03:12I think we need to unwind after the whole Saskia thing.
03:15Hey.
03:16I just wanted to make sure you're aware that Kara's little get-together is starting next door.
03:19Oh, right.
03:20Yeah, you're more than welcome.
03:23Yeah, maybe.
03:24Um, I thought you'd be busy practising for your interview.
03:27Nah, Susan's quizzed me a lot.
03:30Oh.
03:31Well, who's gonna be there?
03:33Oh, just a few of the neighbours.
03:34Um, Andrew's mentored Kara, so he'll be there with Wendy, and there'll be some others.
03:38Well, that all sounds really special, but, um, me and Max actually have a lot to organise for Sadie's party.
03:43A collage and playlist.
03:44Uh-huh.
03:45Sorry.
03:46Yeah, okay.
03:50What about, like, that one?
03:53And she left Play-Doh inside the margarine.
03:56I'm just trying to put her on my clothes.
03:57Hey.
03:58It's not too bad.
03:59Low car.
04:01Oh, the ceremony was gorgeous.
04:03The boys were so proud.
04:05I can imagine.
04:06Andrew is my boss.
04:07No thanks.
04:08I'm just grateful to be stationed so close to home.
04:11You know, it certainly doesn't always work out that way.
04:13Hey, can you clear my record?
04:15It's my first week, Nicolette.
04:17I'm gonna try and follow the rules.
04:18Oh, come on.
04:19Alright, I'll ask next week.
04:22Hey, Guns.
04:23Um, hi.
04:24Can I have a private word?
04:25Yeah.
04:26Yeah, of course.
04:27What's wrong?
04:28Um, well, um, actually, I may as well tell everyone while they're here.
04:33Um, hey, um, Bevan Bowman's out.
04:37What?
04:38Wait, Bowman's out?
04:40Yeah.
04:41So sorry.
04:42I don't mean to spoil things for you, but I just thought we should all know as soon as
04:46possible.
04:47And, um, well, it seems that Gavin Bowman is out of jail and poor Jane has accidentally
04:52found herself on an internet date with him.
04:55But you didn't know this?
04:56I, um, no.
04:57No, I didn't.
04:58Oh, my God.
04:59Poor Mum.
05:00She's okay.
05:01She's fine.
05:02Where's Dexter?
05:03He's not far, but he's with Tay and JJ.
05:04He'll be here okay.
05:05I'm just going to call them to come through.
05:06Yeah, I'd better go and tell Susan and Holly.
05:07Can you come with me just to give a police perspective?
05:08Uh, I need to check in with the station to see if I can get some more details.
05:19Jane.
05:20Hello.
05:21Well, look who it is.
05:23I don't know.
05:24I don't know.
05:25I don't know.
05:26I don't know.
05:27I don't know.
05:28I don't know.
05:29I don't know.
05:30I don't know.
05:31I don't know.
05:32I don't know.
05:33Well, look who it is.
05:35I got your text.
05:37As soon as I realised your connection to Ramsey Street, I left.
05:41Yes, and without any explanation.
05:44Well, it's not easy to talk about.
05:47I don't know how it is that you are out of jail.
05:51Obviously being a serious failure of the justice system.
05:54I have no intention of...
05:56You shouldn't be anywhere near where the people you hurt live.
06:01It's where I live.
06:02Well, you shouldn't be on any dating apps.
06:05Praying on women who have no idea about your past.
06:08I never would have met up with you if I'd have known.
06:11Don't try and make yourself sound better.
06:14Now, you have barely paid for what you've done.
06:18So you just stay away from me and from everybody else.
06:21Look, if we show Dex that we're worried it's only going to make things worse for him.
06:34It's going to be hard to hide it from him.
06:36Let's just think about this logically, okay?
06:38Dex was a random victim.
06:40He didn't do anything to hurt Bowman.
06:42There's no reason to think that he would be a major.
06:45Yeah, he didn't do anything.
06:51Jane, I had to tell everyone. It just came straight out.
06:54Mum, I'm sorry. I can't believe I pushed and you ended up with a sicko.
06:58No, and I just saw him again.
07:00What?
07:01Yeah.
07:02I ran into him outside of Harold's and I don't know, I couldn't help myself.
07:05I had to give him a piece of my mind.
07:07Jane.
07:08Do you really think that's a good idea?
07:10Um, hard no.
07:11It just makes me so angry to think of him parading around.
07:15I told him, you stay away.
07:17Okay, I'll let one out. Cheers.
07:19Okay, so I've got an update.
07:21Unfortunately, it's all pretty straight forward.
07:24Bowman was up for parole and the parole board seemed to think he was sufficiently rehabilitated.
07:29Or so he convinced them.
07:40Hey.
07:41Hey.
07:42Me again.
07:43Oh, us.
07:44Is this about Carl's party?
07:46Um, I'm afraid it's rather more serious.
07:49Why don't we sit down?
07:51No, you're freaking me out. What's going on?
07:57I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
08:00Gavin Bowman's been released from prison.
08:02Andrew just messaged. Apparently he's on parole.
08:05Why is this the guy who...
08:06The guy who tried to kill me.
08:16We're here with you. You're safe.
08:17Yes.
08:18It's so soon I thought that he'd be away for like years more.
08:21Well, we all did.
08:22Why didn't the police even warn me?
08:24We don't know.
08:25I imagine it was news for Andrew too.
08:28Dad, he probably hates you as well.
08:29Well, you know, I guess I played a part in ending his career.
08:32But there's no suggestion he wants to revisit his past, okay?
08:35You don't need to worry about me.
08:37I'm just going to be thinking about him popping up wherever I go.
08:40I mean, he's free to do whatever he wants.
08:42Do you want to take some time off work?
08:43No, I have responsibilities.
08:45Lester's on tap is like my baby.
08:47I'm sure Krista won't mind if you ask someone to take us some chips.
08:49I can't do that forever.
08:51I'll be your bodyguard if you need me to be.
08:53We need to speak to Andrew.
08:55What?
08:56Do we have to?
08:57Well, yes, of course.
08:58Perhaps you can offer some reassurance.
09:10I won't ask you to tell me about the date.
09:16You're probably sick of getting all the questions.
09:20There really isn't that much to tell.
09:23No, let's think about something nice.
09:26How are things going for Sadie's party?
09:29Oh, yeah, well, just a few last-minute things to organise
09:34and Polly's helping.
09:36But mostly I'm just thinking about meeting Andrew's biological father.
09:41Oh, he's going to be there.
09:43Gretchen is driving them from Sandy Point.
09:46And I just really hope he likes me.
09:49I have this vision of us being this big happy family.
09:53For Andrew.
09:54We will love you, Wendy.
09:56Guaranteed.
09:57But how are things with her?
10:00Well, we haven't spoken since the first time, so...
10:05So it's still up in the air.
10:08It's just the lies she told me ruined what was supposed to be
10:12a beautiful gesture and just created this real wedge
10:15between Andrew and I.
10:17Well, I'm sure she feels guilty.
10:20Yeah, I think she does.
10:23Oh, it's fine.
10:24You know, all we need is a good conversation.
10:28Dex is okay.
10:33He says he's got all his bad luck out of the way young.
10:37He's a resilient kid.
10:39Hmm.
10:40It's Remy who's more freaked out.
10:42She's the one who actually had more to do with Bowman.
10:45Well, you can tell her that I spoke to his parole officer.
10:48And...
10:49One sec.
10:55Hey, come here.
10:56Hi.
10:57Please.
10:58I'm sure you can guess why we're here.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Hi, mate.
11:02Holly.
11:03How are you?
11:04She didn't want to bother you, but I thought it was worth checking.
11:07Do you have any advice on how she should proceed?
11:10Of course.
11:11We still don't understand why she wasn't notified before now.
11:14I'm so sorry about that.
11:16Look, there was an error and neither you or Dex were on the victim's register.
11:20None of that makes a difference now.
11:22Bowman's out.
11:23There's nothing we can do about it.
11:24I wouldn't say nothing.
11:25I was just telling Cara that I spoke with his parole officer and we've got his address
11:29so we can do regular checks.
11:31Will that help?
11:32It's a powerful deterrent.
11:34Him knowing that we can just show up at any moment.
11:37And I'll be able to help too when I start work in a couple of days.
11:40Well, that's something.
11:41Look, I'm also organising a close watch on the street and at your work.
11:45So if Bowman's loitering, it can be grounds for an intervention order.
11:48And if he approaches you, harassment, which will send him straight back to prison.
11:51Yeah, I'm going to help watch Holly too.
11:53Great.
11:54Look, I know this is really nerve-wracking.
11:57But we got you.
11:58Okay?
11:59Okay.
12:01Cool.
12:02Thanks, Andrew.
12:03Well, thank you for being a pleasure.
12:05Thanks, Andrew.
12:19Hey, will you let me know how Holly seems when she wakes up?
12:21Yes, yes, of course, of course.
12:23You don't want to practise any more interview questions or anything?
12:26Darling, I've spent more than 20 years in this community.
12:28I think that'll stand me in pretty good stead.
12:30True.
12:31Everyone has said so.
12:32This role is perfect for you.
12:34I would accept a good luck kiss.
12:36Aw.
12:37You know, it's a shame this role is part-time.
12:41Really?
12:42Yeah, I've had so many thoughts.
12:44Senior healthcare, arts programming, environmental engagement, and of course, community gardens.
12:50Of course.
12:51You are going to smash it.
12:54Go on. Off you go. Thank you.
12:55Good luck.
12:59Holly will be here soon.
13:01That's good.
13:04Are you okay?
13:06You've got a lot on your plate today.
13:08Looking out for her and Dex and your family coming over.
13:11I've got my whole team on the phone and watch.
13:13Don't know if I've got family stuff on.
13:15Hello.
13:16Hello.
13:17Oh, they're here.
13:18Early.
13:19How nice.
13:20Hey.
13:21Welcome.
13:22You've found us.
13:24Hey.
13:30Mate.
13:33Stephen.
13:34This is my wife, Wendy.
13:35Very happy to finally meet you.
13:37I couldn't agree more.
13:38It is so nice to meet you in person.
13:40Can I just...
13:41Don't.
13:45Oh, thanks for the photo album you sent the other day.
13:47I haven't stopped looking at the pictures.
13:51Oh, and Sadie is just finishing up getting ready.
13:53She won't be long.
13:55Gretchen, welcome.
13:57It's so nice to see you again.
13:59We're very much looking forward to meeting Sadie.
14:02She can't wait to meet both of you.
14:06Oh, uh, Andrew remembered that wine that you liked the other day
14:09and there's some inside.
14:11Oh, that's so sweet.
14:13I'd love a glass.
14:14Thanks.
14:15Let me get you settled.
14:17Yeah.
14:18Thanks.
14:19I'll have to see you again.
14:21Yes, I probably should have shown a bit more restraint there.
14:25He's hardly going to take my advice, is he?
14:27No, from what I know of him, no, probably not.
14:30I just hope I haven't antagonised him.
14:33Oh, I'll take more than that, shall we?
14:37Hi.
14:38How was your interview?
14:39Oh, yes, it was good, good.
14:40I've got to go through another one, though.
14:41Oh, another interview.
14:42Yes, yes.
14:44They suggest I bring someone who can speak in my favour.
14:47You know, like a pillar of the community.
14:50Oh, like a school principal.
14:54Well, you'd think it would help.
14:56Thank you, yes.
14:57But that's not why I came by.
14:59I wanted to speak to Therese.
15:02Oh.
15:04After my interview, I spoke to someone I know at the council
15:07who tells me that you applied for rezoning assessment at Power Road
15:11because you want to sell it.
15:21Therese is going to love this serum, I know it.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:27Don't worry.
15:28I'm going to have a word.
15:29Current, current, current, no!
15:31Oi!
15:35You need to be more careful where you spend your time.
15:38I keep telling people, I'm not trying.
15:39You're in danger of getting yourself an intervention order.
15:42Or losing your parole.
15:44Does Remy want to come and have a go, too?
15:47She's more than welcome.
15:48Watch yourself.
15:50I'm a police officer now.
15:52We're all going to be keeping a very close eye on you,
15:55so if you so much as breathe, we'll know about it.
16:00You want me to stop breathing?
16:03Fine.
16:04Whatever you say, officer.
16:22Did you have to do that?
16:24It's my responsibility.
16:26What's the point of having about you if I'm not going to use it?
16:30I was planning on telling everyone, obviously, before it hit the market.
16:37So there's no mistake then?
16:38What made you decide to sell?
16:40Oh, simply just looking into it.
16:42That's all.
16:44I mean, as you know, I was planning on building Irenee Rising there originally.
16:48Yeah, so the council knocked back your original plan because it was high rise.
16:51Yeah, well, maybe it's a good opportunity for somebody else.
16:53Is Paul driving this?
16:55No. No, he doesn't even know.
16:57I've only just engaged Rhett. He's the one that suggested I look into the zoning.
17:01So you're quite serious about selling?
17:04I'm just keeping my options open.
17:06I can't believe you didn't give me a heads up about this.
17:08I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but this has happened very quickly.
17:12It might not be bad news for the tram.
17:15I mean, think about all the business that the high rise will bring.
17:18Well, Provider's not built on top of it.
17:21Okay, you know what? This is just speculation at the moment.
17:23And I'm sorry you found out this way, but now you know.
17:25My tumour is shrinking. I'm responding well to chemo.
17:39That's awesome.
17:41Well, ever since we've connected, it's all been great.
17:44I only wish it happened sooner.
17:49Well, you know there were reasons.
17:51Oh, sorry. No, Gretchen, I didn't...
17:55Um...
17:57Gretchen, can you and I have a chat?
18:04I think we need to clear the air.
18:07The past few months have been extremely difficult.
18:10Look, I know you only told me those lies about Stephen because you were trying to protect him.
18:16So why'd you make a dig?
18:18I didn't.
18:19My father was extremely vulnerable over time. He still is.
18:23I had no idea what kind of person you were.
18:25All right, but I think you should have spent a bit more time finding out.
18:29So you're holding a grudge?
18:31I think you could have handled it better, but I am moving on.
18:35Are you? Yes.
18:37Andrew said he understood. I thought it was all pretty straightforward.
18:40How could...
18:42Is everything okay, guys?
18:44I'm clearing the air.
18:46You are punishing me.
18:47I am not.
18:48Wait, Wendy?
18:50I am wanting to show Gretchen how hard it has been for us.
18:54Please, just let it go.
18:55You okay?
18:56Yeah.
18:57Just a bit worried about him.
18:58It's a big deal for him having Gretchen and Stephen here.
18:59Yeah, for Sadie too, I bet.
19:00I don't know if she decides to make an appearance.
19:01I'm sure she's just picking him over to make an entrance.
19:02Mm-hm.
19:03I'm sure she's just picking him over to make an entrance.
19:04Mm-hm.
19:06My dad doesn't need any family fights.
19:07yeah a bit worried about him it's a big deal for him having Gretchen and Stephen
19:12yeah for Sadie too I bet I don't know if she decides to make an appearance
19:16I'm sure she's just picking him over to make an entrance
19:28my dad doesn't need any family fights I don't want to fight with you Gretchen
19:35no you just want to make me feel bad protecting even though I said I'm sorry
19:39you're not even interested to know what we went through this is exactly what I was
19:43worried about bringing someone into the family who's demanding and difficult hey
19:46you were the one who started all this unpleasantness and you're the one who
