00:00I'm selling the house.
00:10I'm going to travel the world while I still can.
00:12You know, when I was diagnosed, I promised myself I wouldn't take a single day for granted.
00:19And this trip is part of that.
00:21When exactly are you leaving?
00:23As soon as I can.
00:25We'll just speed up that house search.
00:27I love you, but this is just too soon.
00:29What is?
00:30You've been dropping hands for me to ask you to move in all the morning.
00:32The only person that I want to live with is my sister.
00:35But it is wonderful to know that you are allergic to the idea of us living together.
00:38We should be having a party.
00:40A real rip snorter.
00:42If I'm leaving Summer Bay, I am leaving with a bang.
00:46I need one day to sort this out.
00:48I need one day to see Finn and the grandkids.
00:50So three days.
00:52I'm supposed to be writing Irene's farewell speech.
00:54I don't want to say farewell.
00:56Well, there aren't enough words to describe how much she means to this town or to me.
01:00More than 30 years.
01:02It's so many memories.
01:04I'm going to miss it.
01:05For you.
01:17Please don't tell me you're one of those weirdos that can't have caffeine after midday.
01:20Well, that is one way to describe half the population, but no.
01:23You're welcome.
01:24Just looking after my favourite roomie.
01:26Oh, I'm fine.
01:26Hey, what about you?
01:27Have you managed to crawl into Dana's good books?
01:30I have, actually.
01:31Yeah, there's some progress on that front.
01:32I'm meeting in for a drink later on.
01:34Glad I found you two.
01:35We have moved forward Irene's farewell to tomorrow.
01:38Oh, I didn't realise that she was going so soon.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Neither did we.
01:42It's a last minute change of plans.
01:43Oh, well, good on her.
01:44I will text you the deets once we have locked them down.
01:47I am not going to be able to make it.
01:48I'm working all of tomorrow.
01:50Don't worry, I'll party hard enough for the both of us.
01:52Sure you will.
01:53See ya.
01:53Bye.
01:54Bye.
01:55That puts the pressure on Harper and Dana.
01:57Does.
01:58One second, it's eaten.
02:00Yep.
02:01What's the latest?
02:08Yep, I can do that.
02:12Okay, bye.
02:13Everything all right?
02:14Uh, yeah, all good.
02:15I gotta go.
02:16Be good.
02:18No promises.
02:22Now, I'm almost absolutely positive that this is the very last thing.
02:29Now, what to do with this?
02:32Can I keep it?
02:33I'd quite like to see where you are once you're gone.
02:36Knock yourself out, girly.
02:39Although, I'm pretty sure once I'm out of sight, I'll be out of mind.
02:42There is no way that I would ever, ever forget you.
02:47Oh, God save us.
02:49Here we go again.
02:50Don't get me started.
02:53Oh, sweetheart.
02:54You are absolutely one of a kind.
02:59And I'm so sorry for packing up under your feet, darling.
03:03Stop apologising.
03:05It's fine.
03:06I really hope you find somewhere very soon.
03:09Something's gonna come up.
03:11Yeah, of course it will.
03:13God, I nearly fell off my chair when Harper told me she was moving in with Dana.
03:18Oh, yeah.
03:19They'll be fine.
03:20I mean, I have to say that because I pushed it, but...
03:23Hmm.
03:24And yet, I'm the one that's supposed to be losing the marbles.
03:27They'll figure it out.
03:29Yeah.
03:30But, well, they...
03:31They sort of have to now.
03:34That's him asleep for an hour, hopefully.
03:36Good, good.
03:37Hey, you hungry?
03:38I can make you something to eat.
03:40Ah, sure.
03:40Yeah.
03:42Thanks again for having us.
03:44All good.
03:45I'll find something more permanent as soon as I can.
03:48There's no rush.
03:49No, I just don't want to be a burden.
03:51You're not a burden.
03:51Let's just wait and see what Cash thinks about living with a baby.
03:55Nah, he's cool.
03:56Besides, I asked you here.
03:58Don't worry about him.
03:59So, uh, how's the room?
04:03You got everything you need?
04:05Yeah, yeah.
04:06Cool.
04:10So, do you have plans today?
04:12Do you have to go back to work?
04:13Uh, no.
04:14I'm all yours.
04:16I mean, I'm not, you know.
04:20No, yeah, I got what you meant.
04:22Yeah, I meant, like, I'm here if you need help with Archie or...
04:25Yeah.
04:29Oh, I'll go.
04:30Oh, no, it's all good.
04:31I'll get it.
04:43Good, I found it at the cop shop.
04:45So Eden's telling everyone.
04:47Fantastic.
04:48If it wasn't for her, your bar could still be by the side of the road.
04:51So I think the words you're looking for are thank you.
04:54Give me the keys.
04:55Are you going to pull yourself together or do you want to wrap yourself around a tree?
04:59Keys, now.
05:04That was not hard, was it?
05:10Oh, what?
05:11I'm just wondering if I should leave or stay here for this scintillating conversation.
05:15Oh.
05:16Stay, go.
05:17I don't care.
05:18Yeah.
05:19No, I'm meeting Dana later.
05:20I don't need to be half cut.
05:21So yourself.
05:23All for me.
05:24Okay.
05:24What's going on, buddy?
05:34What were you thinking?
05:35Well, obviously I wasn't thinking.
05:39No, Eden was all over me like a rash.
05:41I had to get out of here.
05:43And what does she do?
05:44She sends cash after me.
05:46Wow.
05:47Well, here I was thinking that you were making your own decisions, but it was actually all
05:51Eden's fault.
05:52She made you cheat on Brie, then forced you to drink, drive and get arrested.
05:57I mean, shame on her.
05:59You know, I said I didn't care if you stayed or went.
06:01Yeah.
06:01Change my mind, get lost.
06:03Getting lost.
06:03It was never meant to be like this.
06:11It was never meant to be like this.
06:15I just wish I had more time to plan this.
06:22She's going to love it, darling.
06:24My, uh, now all we have to do is make it happen.
06:27Marilyn, you're okay to sort out the catering from here and so?
06:30Yes.
06:30And I will ask about the non-alcoholic drink.
06:32Great idea.
06:34And I'll head to Yabby Creek to get this cake made, which leaves you two to do the set-up.
06:39You think you can handle that?
06:40You betcha.
06:41And what about entertainment?
06:43I mean, maybe Eden and Remy could sing us a bit of a song.
06:46Uh, Remy's not really in the best headspace right now.
06:49Uh, well, why don't you and Theo do one of your famous duets?
06:52Oh, I'll be famous, but I'm sure I can get Theo on board.
06:55And Rue, she's coming?
06:57She's going to try, but this is pretty short notice to this turnout.
07:00There might be a few people who can't make it.
07:02Oh, come on, guys.
07:03That's not good enough.
07:04Like, Irene is leaving us forever.
07:06This party has to be perfect.
07:07It's going to be perfect.
07:09She's going to love it.
07:10She will have her closest mates there, and that's really all Irene will want.
07:14Yeah, you're right.
07:16Sorry.
07:17Well, darling, don't apologise.
07:19This is really hard.
07:20Yeah, it is.
07:22I just can't believe she's going.
07:24Oh, the chairs are on the tables
07:30And they're asking me to leave
07:36I would stand if I were able
07:41But I simply can't believe
07:46I would stand if I were able
08:00I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be.
08:07He's a walking train wreck. I'm just being generous in train wrecks.
08:18Aw, that's awful. Do you think you got through to him?
08:22Hmm. Honestly, no. No, I've actually not seen this version of Remi before, and I'm a little worried, to be fair.
08:27Yeah. I mean, that sounds like the drinking's kind of getting out of hand.
08:30Yeah, it is. I've been trying to rein him in, but...
08:33Well, he's got friends like you in his corner, so he's lucky.
08:36Aw, you like me again. That's good.
08:38What? When did I not like you?
08:40Oh, I just want you guys to move her a week, but...
08:41I did not. Not everything's about me.
08:44Okay. Um, so I didn't completely mess up?
08:48Well, you thinking that I wanted to move in with you was presumptuous.
08:52And arrogant.
08:54But, no, I was busy with work, and I was helping Irene Pat.
08:58Yeah, I heard she's leaving early. What does that mean for you and Harper?
09:01Any joy on the house hunt?
09:02Um, sort of. Um, it's kind of...
09:06Well, don't look now, because the train wreck has just pulled into the station.
09:10I'd better go deal with that.
09:11Yeah, good luck.
09:13Thanks.
09:18Let's go. Thank you.
09:19Sonny, give me the...
09:21Easy, easy, easy. Let's go.
09:22Come on, let's go.
09:23Just...
09:23Let's go.
09:24I'm not drinking. Come on.
09:25Just relax, man.
09:26Come on.
09:27So don't for a walk.
09:32If you won't let me drink there, I'll just drink somewhere else.
09:35You should probably just go home.
09:36I'm not going home.
09:37Come on, where are you going?
09:37Away from you.
09:38Hey, knock it off.
09:40We're just leaving, man.
09:41What are your business, mate?
09:45If I remember correctly, it was my house you trashed.
09:49So how about you listen to your mate and go home?
09:52Fine.
09:54Going home.
09:54Oh, looky here.
10:17I was just outside, bit myself up, drinking alone.
10:20And who's doing the exact same thing?
10:22Oh, quick, take a seat before anyone sees us.
10:24I mean, to be fair, I was just grabbing food.
10:29Oh.
10:30Do you want to share my pizza?
10:31Yes, I do.
10:32Excellent.
10:34But where's Sonny?
10:34I thought you guys were meeting up.
10:35Oh, we were.
10:36You abandoned me for freak-riving idiot, Rami.
10:40Sorry?
10:41What?
10:41Sorry?
10:42What?
10:43Oh, nothing.
10:43So boring.
10:44No, Dana, what are you talking about?
10:45I feel weird, though.
10:45I might go home.
10:46No, what's going on?
10:50I'm just the messenger, okay?
10:52Uh-huh.
10:52It won't be a minute.
11:09Come in.
11:17Oh, hello.
11:19I wasn't expecting to see you.
11:21I wasn't expecting this.
11:25I know, right?
11:28An entire lifetime gone in the blink of an eye.
11:32Yeah.
11:33You're set.
11:34Pretty much.
11:39Well, I thought we could have one last meal together while we go over your holiday plans.
11:44Oh, that sounds lovely, darling.
11:47Oh, and Justin will pick you up in the morning when you're going away brunch.
11:51Perfect.
11:51It's all in there.
11:54You have itinerary, flights, accommodation, tours, carer details, you name it.
12:00I can't thank you enough.
12:05No, I don't want thanks.
12:06I just, I want you to go and have fun and live your life to the fullest.
12:11Well, that's the plan.
12:17Oh, don't get me started.
12:20I'm sorry.
12:21I'm sorry.
12:22I don't mean to upset you.
12:23It's just, um, we've been through so much together.
12:27Oh, we sure have.
12:28Yeah, the good times, the tough times.
12:33All the husbands.
12:35Yes.
12:37All the husbands.
12:39I just knew that everything was going to be all right eventually.
12:44Because you were by my side.
12:47See?
12:49It just feels like the end.
12:52It's because it is love.
12:54Anyway, enough of this, hey?
13:00Tell me all about this fabulous brunch tomorrow.
13:17Sure that's a good idea?
13:19Don't you have somewhere else to be?
13:21Drink driving.
13:22Really.
13:23I didn't tell her.
13:24Then who did?
13:25Who cares who told me?
13:26How stupid could you be?
13:27I'm going to wait outside.
13:28You're unbelievable.
13:29Why do you care?
13:30You dumped me.
13:31What did you think was going to happen, Remy?
13:33That you'd end up in my emergency department?
13:35Or worse?
13:36Well, I didn't, did I?
13:37Oh, what?
13:37And that makes this okay?
13:38What do you want me to say?
13:39I don't believe this.
13:40No, what do you want me to say?
13:42I'll say it and you can go away.
13:43You're not serious.
13:45You don't care about me.
13:47Not anymore.
13:48So what do you want to hear that will make you leave me alone?
13:52If this was some pathetic attempt to get a reaction out of me, then congratulations.
13:59You got one.
13:59But I promise, this is the last one you're ever going to get.
14:05Okay, so everything's pretty much set up.
14:20We just need to get the cake out there and then just put the final touches on the table.
14:23Yeah, and so we've got the platters ready and the drinks all ready.
14:26We just need someone to go and pick them up.
14:28You haven't heard from John, have you?
14:30I hope we got the message for you picking up the eyes.
14:32It's okay, we can calm down now.
14:34This is going to be great.
14:35Yes, it is.
14:36The utensils are almost done.
14:38So what's next?
14:39Well, someone needs to pick up the food from salt.
14:41Do you think you can manage that?
14:43With a message to Sammy?
14:45Yes, I can.
14:48Rightio, it is a new day and we're starting this one with bacon, eggs, coffee.
14:52Hey, what are you doing?
15:06What does it look like?
15:08I've got a sprecky.
15:09Sorry, mate.
15:10I'm out of here.
15:11Where are you going?
15:12Mum and Dad's holiday house.
15:13On your own?
15:14Are you sure that's a good idea?
15:16I mean, I know what Bree said last night was pretty hard to hear, but...
15:19Mate, I'm not going to do anything stupid.
15:22I just need to be on my own, away from here.
15:27There's nothing I can do to Capintia otherwise.
15:29Nope.
15:31Hey, maybe I can come.
15:32You know how much I love that house.
15:33I mean, I don't need a babysitter.
15:37I guess that's my ride.
15:39Catch you.
15:39When will you be back?
15:41I'm not sure.
15:43Mate, I am sorry about yesterday.
15:46It's all good.
15:49Take care, brother.
15:49Bye.
15:52Truth, Leah, you've really outdone yourself.
16:01This whole thing looks fantastic.
16:02It was a team effort.
16:04What took you so long?
16:08There she is.
16:10Hey.
16:11Oh, my goodness.
16:16Once in my life, I'm absolutely lost for words.
16:20You're trying to say anything, darling.
16:22No.
16:23We just wanted to give you the send-off you deserve.
16:25Oh.
16:26Thank you so much.
16:28It's perfect.
16:30Oh, you look at that cake.
16:32Oh, for God's sake, don't let John anywhere near it.
16:36He's a maniac's cake.
16:38Palmer's a maniac full stop.
16:41Where is he, anyway?
16:43Oh, he's just getting ice.
16:44He'll be here soon.
16:45And Rue's on the way.
16:47She just got held up a bit with Colin.
16:48Yeah, well, the young one has to come first.
16:51Um, we're going to be able to dig in very soon.
16:54No, no, I just have to go to Salch and grab a few more things.
16:55Need a hand?
16:56Oh, that's okay.
16:57I've got one.
16:59Right.
17:00So, walk this way.
17:01In the meantime, I'm going to give you a little reading.
17:05Oh, over my dead body, Matt?
17:06No, yeah, come and sit down.
17:08It'll be fun.
17:10One last time.
17:11Go on.
17:11Do your worst.
17:13Can we get you a drink?
17:14Oh, yes.
17:15I have non-alcoholic full sparkling and I've got mocktails.
17:20I don't suppose you could rustle up a Virgin Mary, could you?
17:23I need the help of the saints to get me through this reading.
17:26Coming right up.
17:30Guys, thank you so much.
17:32Honestly, this means the world to me.
17:36Well, you mean the world to us, Irene.
17:38Oh, thank you, Alf.
17:48I don't see why you had to drag me away from the party to do your dirty work.
17:51Because I've been helping all morning.
17:53Well, so why are you being like this?
17:55You're not about to be on the streets any minute.
17:57Well, I'd almost prefer that if the first 24 hours with Tana are anything to go by.
18:00It cannot be that bad.
18:02Actually, it's that bad.
18:04So, the next time you get the urge to throw me under the bus, don't.
18:09Why don't you be grateful that you're not homeless?
18:13A couple more places upstairs, baby.
18:15Hey, why don't I take that and you help Dana?
18:18Okay, thanks.
18:19And, by the way, for your information, she has nowhere to live.
18:22So, you might want to help her with that too.
18:24Oh, hi.
18:33Hello again.
18:34Have you come up to help me with the food?
18:36I sure have.
18:37Oh.
18:37Oh, any news on the rental fund?
18:44No.
18:44But if I never speak to another real estate agent again, that won't be soon enough.
18:48Oh, hello.
18:48Sorry.
18:49We're still waiting on the rest of the platters.
18:51Sure.
18:51What?
18:56Oh, no, it's just, I, I, um, I, I feel bad.
18:59You know, you and Hop must be pretty stressed.
19:02Um, well, she's actually gone.
19:05Gone?
19:06Where?
19:07She moved in with panic.
19:08Wow.
19:09Well, I mean, what happened to the whole sticking together thing?
19:12Well, that was just the original plan, but as I've been saying, it's very difficult to
19:16find a rental, so we're just being realistic.
19:20Are you good?
19:21Yeah.
19:21Yeah, no, no, great.
19:23Great.
19:23Sorry about the worry.
19:24Good, um, thank you.
19:28No, it's okay.
19:29Um, we need more soft drinks, so can I trust you with that?
19:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:34You're good with this?
19:35Yeah, okay.
19:40Right, so let me get this straight.
19:41So we've got the fool, and that means new beginnings.
19:44Mm-hmm.
19:45Mm-hmm.
19:45The magician.
19:47Manifestation.
19:49And death.
19:50Big change.
19:50Okay.
19:52Hit me with the fourth card.
19:54Okay, ready?
19:56Oh, this is great!
19:58It's the...
19:59Dealer wrapped in snake.
20:01That is a sash, Mr. Stewart.
20:04Yeah, it's all great to me.
20:05So what does a card mean?
20:06Oh, the world means harmony and completion.
20:10Yeah.
20:11When you've come to the end of a very important chapter, and you're ready to embark on your
20:16next journey.
20:18Seems very fitting.
20:19It certainly does love it.
20:20It certainly does love it.
20:21Thank you, Mads.
20:23You're so welcome.
20:24It's a hell of a lot better than some of the readings you've given me over the years.
20:28I know.
20:28I'm so relieved.
20:31Anyway, enough about me.
20:32I think it's time for these two bozos to have their cards.
20:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:35Wait a minute.
20:36Yeah.
20:36Come on.
20:37My party.
20:38My rules.
20:39Alf, you're in the chair.
20:40Okay.
20:41Shall I put the cards, please?
20:45Anyone heard from John yet?
20:47If he doesn't turn up, she's going to be devastated.
20:50Come on, Alf.
20:51You're not even blipping Vegas.
20:53Hand him over.
20:54Thank God for that.
20:56I'll tell you what, woman.
20:57You're lucky you're leaving town.
20:59Right.
21:00You ready?
21:00It's not enough.
21:03It's not enough.
21:09John.
21:10It's me again.
21:11Call me when you get this.
21:12I've got to know you're okay.
21:14Alma's still not answering his phone.
21:15Justin hasn't got back to me either.
21:17She looks so happy.
21:19You know what?
21:19I'm going to give John a ring.
21:20He's not going to want to miss this.
21:22Irene, why don't you just come over here?
21:24I need to tell you something.
21:25Irene's wondering where you are.
21:26Yes.
21:27Well, I'm not going, so if you're here to change my mind, forget it.
21:30Avoiding her is not going to make this any easier.
21:32Tomorrow when you wake up and Irene is gone,
21:34how are you going to feel about not saying goodbye to her?
