00:01Closer each day
00:04Home in no way
00:08Give me a break.
00:09Can we talk?
00:10Yeah, yeah, keep walking Jo, I am.
00:11Jo and I got early access to the new place.
00:14And I just wanted to remind you that it's your home too.
00:17You've got your own room there.
00:20Hold on to these in case she changes her mind.
00:23What is it gonna take for you to start cutting your family some slack?
00:26I've got a good feeling about this place.
00:28Me too.
00:29Home.
00:31Home?
00:32Babe, we just got it yet. Did you even go inside?
00:33No, I couldn't.
00:34Hey, stop, stop, stop.
00:35Stop, stop, stop.
00:36Jo and Dad are inside.
00:37And is that why you bailed?
00:38No, I bailed because it was a dumb idea in the first place.
00:41So I've got older and younger cousins.
00:43It's a whole new family.
00:44So when can I meet them?
00:46Um, I'm not sure.
00:48This whole thing, meeting Coen, it was a huge mistake.
00:51Can we just talk about it for a minute, please?
00:53Never should have come in the first place.
00:54Adrian, please just stop and think about this, okay?
00:56Tell Coen I'm sorry.
00:58Adrian, please don't go.
01:00Adrian!
01:01Oh, tidy, peaceful, no yelling.
01:17Oh, did we come back to the right place?
01:19It's peaceful for now.
01:20Did Sonny say when Remy's getting back?
01:22Ah, he said he was doing okay at his parents' holiday pad.
01:25He was probably still drinking.
01:28Hardly sounds like he's pulling himself together.
01:31Yeah, well, we've managed to spend the whole weekend
01:33just talking about the wedding, so let's just try to...
01:35Yes.
01:36You know?
01:37Yes, you're right, you're right.
01:38I am so glad that we finally booked the venue.
01:41It's perfect.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Which fits, because I'm kind of marrying the perfect man, so...
01:45Aww.
01:46I'm not gonna argue.
01:47I'm not gonna argue.
01:48Okay, so we've got the date locked in, the venue locked in.
01:51Does that mean we get started on invitations?
01:54Yes.
01:55Just not right now.
01:56Okay.
01:57Oh, you've got other plans, do you?
01:59I've got a shift this afternoon.
02:00Mmm.
02:01Not the kind of hard work I had in mind.
02:03So do you.
02:04Reality bites.
02:05The wedding's not gonna pay for itself.
02:06How about this?
02:07How about I go and get change, then I walk into work?
02:09Mmm.
02:10At least when we're married, we will only have one house to navigate.
02:14Yeah, actually.
02:15I haven't even thought about that.
02:17Where are we gonna live?
02:18How long do you think Harper's gonna stay at your place for?
02:20I've got no idea.
02:21Okay, well, to be honest, I can't say that a tarn-air baby Harperfield household
02:26is exactly my idea of wedding bliss.
02:28You know, and the chances of me living peacefully whilst Remy's here are currently at zero.
02:32Yep, you're not wrong.
02:35We'll work it out.
02:36Yeah.
02:37We'll work it out.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Yep.
02:40Easy.
02:41These days, my family are scattered all over the joint.
02:43But originally, all the Stuarts came from Scotland.
02:45Hmm.
02:46Scotland is the one above England, right?
02:48Ooh, impressive geography, laddie.
02:51What was it like growing up with all the sisters?
02:53It was interesting.
02:55But being ganged up on by a bunch of Sheilas made me the bloke I am today.
02:59Seems pretty scary, doesn't it?
03:01Yeah, a bit.
03:02But we had a lot of laughs too.
03:04Hey.
03:05Hey, where have you been?
03:06Oh, just doing some boring jobs.
03:08What's going on here?
03:10Mr. Stewart's just telling me about the family.
03:12Oh, that's great.
03:14There's a drawing of my family tree up in my room if you want to go and have a look.
03:19Yeah, cool.
03:21I'll call you down when dinner's on, okay?
03:22Alright.
03:23Right.
03:26I don't know, what's going on?
03:29Adrian's gone.
03:30Yeah?
03:31When's he coming back?
03:32I don't know, Dad.
03:33No, he said he couldn't do this anymore.
03:35And he left.
03:36It's truth.
03:39What about the boy?
03:40Exactly.
03:41What do I tell him?
03:47Even if you didn't go inside, it was still a big step, baby.
03:50Will you drop it already?
03:51I just want to understand what happened.
03:53I'm busy.
03:55Why can't you answer a simple question?
03:56I was jealous.
03:58Okay, you happy?
04:02Well, no, because I still don't understand.
04:05I was seeing Dad and Joe together.
04:07It's their home, it's not mine.
04:09I'm not a part of that family anymore.
04:13I just wanted to know if Mum would have approved of the house.
04:18Would she?
04:21Look, I'm...
04:23I'm talked out to you, and I need to finish my shift.
04:25Okay, yeah, I'm backing off.
04:26Alright, I'll come and check on you later.
04:30Alright, Cash.
04:32Is your boss working today?
04:33Yeah, he should be.
04:34Something up?
04:35No, all good.
04:36See you later.
04:38Babe, we have to take advantage of a free house when you get home tonight.
04:42Oh, you want to treat it as a trial run for married life, both coming home from long shifts, tired and grumpy.
04:46Excuse me, I'm never grumpy.
04:48Oh, what happens if we don't pass the married and living together test?
04:52I'm never going to come home and take looking at my wife for granted.
04:55Hmm.
04:56I'm totally going to hold you to that.
04:58See you soon.
04:59See you.
05:02So, you think me not romantic?
05:06No, I do.
05:07It's just, you know, not while I'm working, I think.
05:10Well, that's not going to stop me from wooing you across this bar, but...
05:13Did you seriously just use the word wooing?
05:16Uh, yeah.
05:17It'll be just like we started dating again.
05:20Ah, well I guess the start of our relationship wasn't exactly conventional, was it?
05:24All the more reason to be present and hit that romance button.
05:29Okay, so what big gestures do you have planned for me then, Romeo?
05:34Mmm.
05:35I got your flowers.
05:36No, no, no.
05:37I got flowers for salt like I do every week.
05:40So, unless you want to serenade me fully naked with a little flower in your hair...
05:46Oh, right here in the middle of salt?
05:49Well, you're not that busy, baby.
05:51Would you settle for a kiss now?
05:52Maybe breakfast in bed tomorrow?
05:55Okay, so underwhelming, but okay.
05:58Underwhelm so?
05:59Come here.
06:00Hey, sorry to interrupt.
06:04Oh, no, we're sorry.
06:06Uh, relaxed.
06:07Just because my relationship exploded doesn't mean I begrudge everybody else's.
06:11Oh, honey.
06:12How are you going with it all?
06:13You know, I'm just trying to stay positive and embrace my single day.
06:17Oh, well, I admire the attitude.
06:19Hey, why don't you grab a table and I'll make sure you're very, very looked after.
06:25Ah, my favourite employee returns!
06:28How was the wedding venue search?
06:29Great!
06:31Actually, we, uh...
06:33Oh!
06:35We found a place.
06:36What? Really?
06:37Yeah.
06:38Is that everything you wanted?
06:39Even better.
06:41Congrats!
06:42Oh, expect an invite very soon.
06:47Oh!
06:49I assumed you'd be there for Irene's big farewell.
06:51You weren't, did you?
06:53Alf kindly invited me.
06:54Oh, even when I were away, we had a whole bunch of stuff to organise for the wedding.
06:57Oh, yep.
06:59I remember that feeling.
07:01You did miss a pretty incredible send off.
07:04That location, the people.
07:07Made me realise putting down roots in Summer Bay, it's the right thing.
07:12Oh, that's good.
07:13When can I expect the housewarming party?
07:15Don't get ahead of yourself, Newman.
07:17Yep.
07:18Hey Sarge, head's up there, I was looking for you before, now he's at the front counter.
07:26Looking for me?
07:27Yeah, uh...
07:29If you've got some time.
07:30Is it a police matter?
07:31No.
07:32Look, Lace would probably, well, almost definitely kill me if she knew I was here.
07:38You'd better come through then.
07:45Maybe you should hold off telling the boy about his dad.
07:48I don't think that's going to help, Dad.
07:51Adrian's brand new to being a dad.
07:54He just had a brain explosion, maybe when he calms down he'll come back.
07:57He should have seen the look on his face when he took off.
07:59I don't think he has any intention of coming back.
08:03Any idea that it'll crush his son?
08:06I think he does.
08:07That's why he left it up to me to tell him.
08:09Hey Rue.
08:10Hey.
08:11Can we see Dad later today?
08:13Honey, I don't know.
08:14Could we call him?
08:16I want to ask him about my cousins and all that.
08:19I'll let you get on with it.
08:23Come and sit down.
08:24Are you okay?
08:27You look sad.
08:29I'm a bit sad, honey.
08:31What happened?
08:33I saw your dad earlier.
08:38He's gone.
08:42You left?
08:44Where would he go?
08:45I don't know.
08:47Do you know when he's coming back?
08:50Well, that's just it, darling.
08:51I don't know if he is.
08:54I'm sorry.
08:58I'm sorry.
09:09Did she tell you what stopped her coming in?
09:12Not exactly.
09:14Lace's got a mind of her own.
09:16It's a good thing.
09:17It's just...
09:19Sometimes she needs to get out of her own way, you know?
09:22She's been like that since before she could talk.
09:25Maybe even before then.
09:27Yeah.
09:29Yeah, well...
09:30I'm pretty sure...
09:32that she misses you.
09:34Jo too.
09:36I think just...
09:37in her own way.
09:39But she's still got a lot of anger.
09:42I've noticed.
09:46Look, I guess what I'm trying to say is...
09:49just don't give up on her.
09:51Thanks, Sarah.
09:56Cheers.
09:58Good luck.
10:07Did I do something wrong?
10:08No, of course not.
10:09Then why did you leave?
10:11You're an amazing person.
10:12It has absolutely nothing to do with you.
10:13I don't believe you.
10:14Oh, Coen.
10:16Coen?
10:17Coen?
10:18Let him go, Rue.
10:19He knows who I am.
10:21I'm so angry at Adrian.
10:22I mean...
10:23I mean, he chose to come into Coen's life.
10:25Well, there's no argument there.
10:26And now he's been rejected by both his parents.
10:28Can you imagine how that feels?
10:30I mean, I...
10:32I have to make this right.
10:34You know, that's what we all want, Rue.
10:35But what can you do?
10:36Oh, I don't know.
10:37I don't know.
10:39But I can't give up on him, can I?
10:40What I will say is you've touched my heart in a way that no other man ever has.
10:47A surgery jug?
10:48That's right.
10:49I like it.
10:50Funny.
10:51Wow, there is way too much cheese around here and not just on the pizza.
10:53Oh wow, you just joined it.
10:54Mmm.
10:55Okay.
10:56Right.
10:57Hey, question.
10:58Do you think it is weird for newlyweds to live with housemates?
11:02Since when do you care what other people think?
11:04Shut up and answer the question, please.
11:05I think you and Cash can live however you want.
11:09Dude, I gotta get that level of wisdom from the internet.
11:13Always at your service.
11:14I love you.
11:20Can I get you any dessert?
11:23Sure.
11:24Why not, hey?
11:25I'm kind of warming to this whole dining alone experience.
11:28Mmm.
11:29And I won't mention a certain idiot shaped elephant in the room.
11:32Yeah, I'm probably gonna regret asking this, but how is Rumi doing?
11:36Sunny hasn't filled you in?
11:37No.
11:38Right.
11:39Um, Rumi is staying at his parents' holiday pad and still drinking, apparently.
11:45So the serve I gave him the other day made no difference.
11:48Look, he's not my favourite person in the world right now either, but as soon as he gets back I'm gonna sort him out.
11:54Why is that on you?
11:55We've been friends for a long time, so...
11:58Yeah, but you also have a wedding to plan. Don't let Rumi's selfish behaviour get in the way of that.
12:05You and Cash deserve better.
12:06Appreciate the heads up.
12:10Thanks.
12:12Hey, Sarge, you know that aggravated B&E?
12:15They've set a court date and they're gonna send me through some details.
12:17Any idea what the guy's pleading?
12:19I know not yet, but I can follow it up for you.
12:21Can't help you on my phone.
12:22Yep.
12:23Hi.
12:24Um, David, I need your help.
12:25What's wrong?
12:26Um, well...
12:28Adrian has abandoned Cohen.
12:30I don't understand.
12:31Why would he do that?
12:32I don't know.
12:33I mean, they were getting on really well.
12:36Then I think Cohen overwhelmed Adrian with lots of questions about his family and anyway, he took off.
12:42Does Cohen know?
12:43Yeah.
12:44So I need your help.
12:45I need to get Adrian's address.
12:48Um, it's not that simple, Rue.
12:51We can't just hand that over.
12:52I know there are privacy issues.
12:54That's exactly right.
12:55I need the chance to know if I can change his mind.
12:57I'm sorry, Rue.
12:58My hands are tied.
13:00So what am I supposed to do?
13:02You let the department know.
13:04They'll know how to handle it.
13:05So I just hand it over to someone else?
13:07I'm afraid so, yeah.
13:08See you both later.
13:12So...
13:13Is this sitting right with you?
13:16Well, I saw my call.
13:18You know, no one would need to know where the address came from.
13:21And I would want to help you, but this is Sarge's decision.
13:24Thanks for coming here clean up, babe.
13:25You're welcome.
13:26Mmm.
13:27Let's go home.
13:28You still owe me a private performance.
13:29Mmm.
13:30Maybe I can play some cheeky songs to you.
13:31One joke, mine.
13:32Hey.
13:33Just, um, checking in.
13:34Have you thought any more about my offer?
13:35I'll just drop it, Dad.
13:36You're not curious about the new house at all?
13:37All right, we're leaving.
13:38Lacey, please.
13:39This could be a fresh start for us all.
13:40It's never gonna be my home.
13:41Look, I wouldn't be pushing this so hard if I didn't truly believe your mum would want
13:47us all to be together.
