00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I left my charger in the room at the hotel.
00:04Has anyone got a booty call?
00:05Whatever happened last night, it has to be a one-off.
00:07It has to be this way, Holly.
00:09There's just way too much at stake.
00:10Annalise has just checked out.
00:12She's giving us both a little bit of space.
00:14The expo's just over a week away.
00:15And we've both got a lot of work to do.
00:17It's almost a million dollars.
00:19So don't sell it.
00:20Lucy has just caught up with Annalise at the airport.
00:23Hopefully they'll be so busy talking about old times
00:25that Lucy won't notice.
00:26I've taken the funds from Lasseter's to bail you out.
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
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:58We can find the good friends
01:04What did you just say about Lasseter's money?
01:08It's alright, it's not important.
01:10I'm married to your business partner, I think it is.
01:12How could you be okay with this?
01:14I'm not.
01:16I wasn't.
01:18I thought the money was coming from Paul's savings.
01:22I wouldn't have accepted otherwise.
01:24Dad?
01:26Therese was having some financial issues at Irini.
01:30So I helped her out.
01:32I used a bit of my money and I borrowed a bit from the hotel.
01:34Without Krista's knowledge or permission.
01:36Leah, it's no big deal.
01:38I always intended to put the money back before the next quarterly report.
01:41How was I to know that Lucy was going to come and move the whole thing forward?
01:44A few days ago we agreed all cards on the table.
01:48Yeah.
01:49But as I said, I was always going to put the money back.
01:52This is corporate theft.
01:53Oh no, please don't tell Krista.
01:57Okay, I won't.
02:00You will.
02:02Welcome back.
02:03Thanks.
02:04Hi Lucy.
02:06So good you were both able to time your arrival together.
02:08Nothing like safety in numbers.
02:10Yes, I filled Lucy in on everything that Paul has been up to.
02:14When I sung Annalise's praises to Paul, I had no idea he was going to pit you against one another.
02:20I mean, Paul loves a game, but he went too far.
02:23Yes, I agree.
02:25He should probably stick to chess.
02:27Oh, don't forget, I want that update story on Bette's new man.
02:32Ah, yeah.
02:33You mean the one where Ned gives them matching tattoos?
02:35Yes, exactly that one.
02:38Well, is everything okay?
02:41Yeah, sorry.
02:42It's just Leo.
02:43He wants to meet me now.
02:44Ah, okay.
02:45Ah, when do you want to debrief on Worldly Gems and my role here?
02:49I'll give you a buzz when I'm finished with Leo.
02:51Okay.
02:52Okay.
02:53Bye.
02:54Bye.
02:55So, can you give me a hint on how you're feeling?
02:59Oh, I mean, if they'll have me, I would love to come on board.
03:03But, that's really up to Krista.
03:06I want her blessing.
03:08Max, are you happy to sit on that?
03:12Yeah, man, all good.
03:13Cheers.
03:14Hey, can I ask you something?
03:15Sure.
03:16Would you think it was weird if Rhett booked a hotel room for the night and didn't tell
03:23you about it?
03:24Polly didn't tell you that she stayed at Lasseter's last night?
03:27No, not until today.
03:29She said she just needed some space and, you know, at first I didn't think much of it,
03:33but now I, uh, yeah, I don't know.
03:36Well, I mean, needing some personal space doesn't necessarily mean she's upset.
03:40Yeah.
03:41No, but the thing is, like, I know she is because the Bowman stuff's really been getting to her
03:49and, like, I want to be there for her, but I feel like she's pushing me away, so I just,
03:53like, yeah, I just, I don't know what to do.
03:56Yeah.
03:57Well, when she's ready to talk, she'll talk.
03:59Mm.
04:00And when she is, you just need to be ready to listen.
04:03Yeah?
04:04Yeah.
04:05Yeah, I guess.
04:07$300,000?
04:10From company accounts?
04:11Well, how did you even do that?
04:13A little bit from here, a little bit from there, but it's all right.
04:16I'm going to put the money back.
04:18Right, so this is why you've been arguing that we shouldn't do the quarterly report yet
04:21with Lucy.
04:22And anyway, I'm going to be coming into some dividends soon, and if we win the bronze
04:26bell, we'll both get a bonus, so the money will all be put back.
04:29Easy.
04:30This is boring, Paul, and I'm over it.
04:33Krista's name is on the door, too.
04:36Oh, okay.
04:41That was perfect.
04:43Wait, don't tell me you're done.
04:46No, I just feel a bit off in the tummy.
04:48I can't stop thinking about those amazing jewellers and entering the competition and how
04:54they're going to crush me.
04:55No way.
04:56Your new entry is amazing.
04:57Yes.
04:58They should be worried about you.
05:00I know it's good, but they are really good at getting attention.
05:01You should see the numbers that these people are getting on socials.
05:12With their drone shots and their fancy fashion shots.
05:15I mean, how am I meant to compete with that?
05:17Come on.
05:18You're one of the most creative people I know.
05:20Surely you can come up with something funny and interesting that people want to watch?
05:24Can I?
05:25Yeah, I wish that people could have seen you strutting in my jewellery.
05:30Fuck.
05:31That would have got some clicks.
05:32Yeah.
05:35Oh, my gosh.
05:36That's it.
05:37You're my secret weapon.
05:40What?
05:41Me?
05:42Oh, my gosh.
05:43You look great in my jewellery and people won't be able to keep their eyes off you.
05:47Oh, my gosh.
05:48Please.
05:49You're the best husband.
05:50Yeah.
05:52And ta-da.
05:53We have the place ourselves, so I thought it would be a beautiful day for a picnic.
06:07A pool picnic.
06:08Pool picnic?
06:09That's a cute one.
06:10Yeah.
06:11I figured now you've caught up on your sleep, we could resume our couple's day.
06:15I can't believe you've gone to so much trouble.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Of course.
06:20Anything for you.
06:21You know that.
06:26Let's get this party started.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Great.
06:30So what are you going to do about Annalise?
06:33An hour ago, I was going to tell her that I would love for her to manage the hotel with me.
06:38And now?
06:40Now I don't even know if I want to stay at Lassiter's.
06:44What do you think?
06:48Basically what you're experiencing is why I'd never go into business with Dad.
06:53And why you never ask him for money.
06:56Yeah.
06:57I'll support you in whatever you want to do.
07:00But don't forget he needs you too.
07:02Especially if he's going back and forth between the states.
07:05Hi.
07:06Got your message.
07:07You ready to chat?
07:08Oh.
07:09I feel like I'm about to get bad news.
07:12Actually, I have an idea that could be a game changer.
07:25Okay, give me a smile.
07:31No, no, no.
07:32Like, give me a real smile.
07:34You know, like a cheeky smile.
07:35Yeah.
07:38Okay, babe.
07:39No, no.
07:40You just need to relax.
07:42You are so stiff.
07:43Yeah.
07:46I'm a cop, not a model.
07:47Yeah, but you were doing so well before.
07:49Come on.
07:50Just keep on doing more of that.
07:52Okay, you know what?
07:53Let's just, we'll try again.
07:54Okay?
07:55Um, just try to relax your shoulders.
07:58No, okay.
07:59Well...
08:00Oh, babe.
08:01You know what?
08:02Think of something fun.
08:03Like cheese.
08:04Surfing.
08:05Surfing.
08:06You know, what about that time that Sadie,
08:07she face planted into her cake when she was five?
08:09Yeah.
08:10Yeah, come on.
08:11That was funny.
08:12Look, sorry.
08:13I...
08:14I don't know.
08:15Do you think someone else could help you with this?
08:19That's it.
08:20That is it.
08:21You wait here.
08:23Where are you going?
08:29Um, hey, you should try some of the prosciutto.
08:31It's really good.
08:32Oh.
08:33If I eat anything more, I'll explode.
08:36Um, okay.
08:37What about some more champagne?
08:39Or I could get some water from the house.
08:41It's okay.
08:42You don't have to keep playing waiter.
08:43Just relax.
08:44Okay.
08:45Okay.
08:46I just want to make sure you're having a good time.
08:48I am.
08:49This is so good.
08:50So thoughtful.
08:55Hey, listen.
08:56If you want to talk about anything, I'm here.
09:01No, I'm all good.
09:02Yoo-hoo!
09:03Sorry to intrude.
09:04Oh, Max.
09:05I'm just looking...
09:06There she is.
09:07Holly, I need your expertise.
09:09Andrew has agreed to model my jewellery for my socials, but he's acting like a real robot and I have no usable photos.
09:19Hey, Wendy.
09:20We're, um, we're kind of in the middle of something here.
09:22Oh, I'm so sorry.
09:26Of course.
09:27You know what?
09:28I can take care of it.
09:29Um, I'm sorry.
09:30Sorry, Max.
09:31Sorry, intrude.
09:32Wait, um, what do you need help with?
09:34Uh, I don't know.
09:36Making Andrew relax.
09:38And I thought you could have some tips from when you were modelling at the exhibition.
09:41It would be a huge help.
09:43Do you think you could just spare her for a few minutes?
09:46Um, yeah.
09:47Yeah, I guess.
09:48I'll follow you over.
09:50Yeah.
09:51I won't be long.
09:52Five minutes tops.
09:53Yeah, sure.
09:54Lucy!
09:55Has everyone forgotten how to answer their phone?
10:10I'm sorry.
10:11It's been one of those days.
10:13As usual, I don't know whether to hug you or put you across my knee.
10:17How about we just be brother and sister for the next five minutes, yeah?
10:20Funny.
10:21I thought you'd say something like that.
10:23Come here.
10:24Hey, how's Mark and Annie?
10:26Oh, they're great.
10:27Oh, I hardly recognise her when he showed me a photo of her.
10:31Uh, sorry, I've got to go.
10:34Yeah, but I just got here.
10:35Yeah, uh, Leo needs me for something.
10:37I'll call you later.
10:38Oh, don't be long, because I want to run through the expo.
10:41Then I want us to do the quarterly report.
10:43And then I want to catch up with my brother.
10:45Yes to all three of those, but not right now, okay?
10:48Listen, uh, Therese, why don't you catch Lucy up on the latest goss from Port Douglas, yeah?
10:52Yeah.
10:57Well, it's, um, you know, it's actually great news.
11:00Um, Agnes and Harold are moving in together.
11:03Oh.
11:04Oh.
11:10The cavalry has arrived!
11:15Apparently I'm the resident expert on jewellery modeling.
11:19Ah, you two can do whatever.
11:20I'm just going to change the battery on this camera.
11:23Cool.
11:24Uh.
11:27Sorry, she was adamant.
11:31Wendy said that you're having trouble getting into it.
11:35Yeah, this is not really my thing.
11:37Yeah, but that is why it works so well.
11:39Because you are a regular guy and people really respond to that.
11:42Yeah, totally, and people can tell when you're faking it.
11:44Okay, so, let us try again, and Holly, you can sort of coach Andrew.
11:54Yeah, um, okay, so maybe put this shoulder back.
11:59And, uh, with the camera.
12:10And, uh, with the camera.
12:14Okay.
12:17Okay.
12:22Oh, Holly, you're a miracle worker.
12:24It's already a million times better.
12:26Okay, ready?
12:28Yes!
12:29Go, babe!
12:32You want me to step back from the hotel completely?
12:36That's right.
12:39No popping your head in and out in between trips to New York.
12:44So you're expecting me to be a silent partner in my own hotel?
12:52No, Paul, you could never be silent.
12:56I'm not delusional.
12:58But I demand full autonomy.
13:03And what about you?
13:04If I don't agree, you're not coming on board?
13:07I always said I only wanted the job if Krista wanted me there.
13:11So, I support everything she says.
13:14Yeah, this is all on you, Dad.
13:18All right, what next?
13:20You're just gonna get up and walk out the door immediately if I don't agree?
13:23No, we're not gonna do that.
13:25We will see the expo through and give our all to the bronze bell judges.
13:30But after that, I want an answer.
13:36Look, I might leave you to it.
13:39I wanna make sure everything's on track for the expo.
13:41I suppose so.
13:53Did you tell her about the loan?
13:55No.
13:57What about Lucy?
13:59I suppose you're gonna use this as leverage against me, are you?
14:02I don't want to.
14:05But I will if I have to.
14:11Krista, this is a really, really big thing you're asking.
14:15Yeah, and you're asking a lot of me.
14:23Dad, you've made it clear you're ready for a change in your life.
14:26Maybe giving up control of the hotel.
14:32It'll be a good thing too.
14:36This is for the best.
14:56Okay, thanks.
15:11Oh wait, Hol.
15:13Just get closer to Andrew.
15:15And look at me.
15:16And Andrew, look at me.
15:20Oh, that is so good.
15:21What's going on?
15:23Holly, how would you like to be in my photos?
15:26I mean, you and Andrew, you look so good together.
15:30Um, what do you, what do you think?
15:32I think it'd be a bit confusing because Holly was modelling for the expo.
15:35Yeah, which is why it is perfect.
15:36It's gonna give me some street cred.
15:39Okay.
15:41Sure.
15:42Okay, um, Holly, can you do your modelling thing?
15:45Sure.
15:46Yeah? Okay, great. Before.
15:49Okay.
15:50Uh, something different, yeah?
15:51Yeah.
15:55Yeah, um, my jewellery.
15:56Can we do something to sort of really highlight that?
15:59It's meant to be like, you know, beautiful, love piece.
16:02Okay.
16:03Inspiration.
16:04Um, yeah, you know what, um, I think you've got a case of the robots.
16:15How about we turn you here?
16:18Andrew hand across.
16:21And then, yes, I love this.
16:24Show the necklace.
16:25Okay.
16:45Maybe just move your hand up a bit more.
16:47Yeah, I think that's enough.
16:48I'm done.
16:49No, Andrew!
16:50Andrew!
16:52Oh, I'm so sorry.
16:53I knew that he didn't really want to do this.
16:55And here I am just moving around like a lump of meat.
16:58Um, I should get back to Max.
17:00Oh, yeah, of course.
17:01Yeah, I'd better check on my grumpy hubby.
17:04First I'll check on these.
17:07See ya.
17:08See ya.
17:15You okay?
17:17You know the answer to that.
17:18Wait.
17:21What are you doing here, Holly?
17:23Wendy told me to come.
17:24Yeah, but you could have said no.
17:26I mean, us out there posing in front of her.
17:28She's my wife.
17:29I know that.
17:30We agreed.
17:31There can't be anything more between us.
17:34I miss you.
17:35Holly, I...
17:36And I know you feel the same or else you wouldn't be so worked up.
17:38I'm not worked up.
17:39Yes, you are.
17:44Your heart is beating like a million miles an hour.
17:46Tell me that that's not for me.
17:49It can't be.
17:53Hey, hey.
17:54Hey.
17:55Thought I'd, uh, bring the picnic over to share.
17:57I know it started as a, um, as a pool picnic, but, you know,
18:00I thought it could be like a backyard picnic or, you know,
18:03a street picnic, a spa.
18:05Yeah, that's fine.
18:06We're, we're finished.
18:07Um, what about we make it a lounge room picnic?
18:10I want to watch a movie, it might.
18:12Um, yeah.
18:14Yeah, sure.
18:16See ya, mate.
18:17See ya, mate.
18:18Do you think I'll agree?
18:19I honestly don't know.
18:20Hmm.
18:21It's a big risk to take.
18:22Yeah, but what risk?
18:23You know, I'm already losing out when it comes to Paul.
18:24I'm sorry if it feels like I'm gambling with your future too.
18:25Oh, no, I get it.
18:26I mean, the man is impossible.
18:27But what are you gonna do if he says no?
18:28Ask Leo if there's any waitressing jobs going at your a coffee.
18:29Hmm.
18:30Hello?
18:31Hi.
18:56Hi.
18:57Is Paul here with you?
18:58No, he's not.
19:00Leo's just putting Abby to bed, but he's very excited to see you.
19:05So, am I looking at the new management team?
19:10Possibly.
19:11Just time to sort a few things out with Paul.
19:14Is that where you got to before?
19:16We just saw him?
19:17Yes.
19:19Do you know when we can actually catch up on the quarterly report?
19:22Well, I'm not sure it's done.
19:24Really?
19:26Paul actually said it was.
19:28Oh.
19:29Maybe I got it wrong.
19:31Um, actually, did you want us to take you through the exploit?
19:52That's it.
19:53That's the one.
19:55Definitely.
19:55Definitely, definitely.
20:01Oh, isn't it great?
20:02It's perfect.
20:06You guys look great together.
20:07I know that my actions may have upset Krista, but she can't expect me to step back from
20:18the hotel completely.
20:19Let's just see what happens over the next few days.
20:21I just spoke to your head of accounts and apparently you have ordered him not to prepare the quarterly
20:39report.
20:39Yeah, well, I'm having issues with his performance.
20:43But earlier, you actually said it was done.
20:45Yeah, and it will be.
20:47What are you hiding?
20:49Do you know?
20:50Come on, Paul.
20:54There's no point delaying the inevitable.
20:56Oh, that's right.
20:57Okay, look, Lucy, I, um, I've had some financial difficulties lately and Paul borrowed money from
21:06Lassiter's to help me out.
21:07Yeah, I was just alone, that's all.
21:10Did Krista agree to this?
21:12Hmm?
21:12One of the conditions of your license is that you must not misuse company funds.
21:17It's my company.
21:19Uh, half your company subject to the rules of the franchise.
21:24Ah, can't you just turn a blind eye like we used to in the good old days, eh?
21:28It's not the 90s, Paul.
21:31We have standards and obligations now, and you have clearly breached them.
21:36Now, all right, all right, all right, but can we discuss this after the Expo and the Bronze
21:39Bell judges have gone?
21:40Because I really need to charm them.
21:42Oh, charm them.
21:44You won't be getting anywhere near them.
21:46Excuse me?
21:47I'm banning you from the Expo and the hotel, effective immediately.
21:53Okay.
21:58Coming up on Neighbours.
22:09I think I might have identified the problem at Irene.
22:12We don't have enough occupancy.
22:14Lucy can't ban me from the Expo.
22:16I want that Bronze Bell.
22:18Can you please talk to Aaron?
22:19I don't know that we're going to survive the separation.
22:21I really thought this was it for us.
22:23Long distance gets to work.
22:24Maybe.
