00:00Are they for the house?
00:09The agent dropped them off, we can move in when we want.
00:12I've got a good feeling about this place.
00:14Me too.
00:15Home.
00:16Babe, we just got here. Did you even go inside?
00:18No, I couldn't.
00:18Did she tell you what stopped her coming in?
00:20Not exactly. Just don't give up on her.
00:22So what's your plan with this?
00:23No plan.
00:24Well, you know, you could just rock up to your dad's place.
00:26Hmm, or you could just rock up here instead.
00:28Look, dad, just because you gave me a key.
00:29It's your new place.
00:30It doesn't mean it's the start of some big grand family reunion,
00:33so please, give it up.
00:34You know me. I'm not going to do that.
00:37Keeps on trying to play happy family. I wish you'd just give up.
00:39If he did that, you would be so upset.
00:41I would be relieved.
00:43Whatever you say. But be careful what you wish for.
00:46Oh, well, this is interesting.
00:48John is hosting a dinner, apparently.
00:51Looks like you've got an invitation as well.
00:53Eh.
00:54Why on God's earth would I want to have dinner with Flyman Armour?
00:58Huh.
00:59You and Leah coming tonight?
01:12To what?
01:13Dinner itself.
01:13I sent the details out on our group chat.
01:16We got a group chat?
01:18Have now set up this morning.
01:19You coming or not?
01:20Are you?
01:21Beats it today.
01:22I don't know.
01:23What brought this up?
01:23Why can't a man break bread with his mates without facing a third degree?
01:28It's just you've never done something like this before.
01:31I know. High time I did.
01:32See ya.
01:33Morning.
01:34J.P.
01:35Hello, gorgeous.
01:39I was just thinking about you.
01:44Well, I'm still at work, so before you ask what I'm wearing, I'm just on my scrubs.
01:51Yeah, the dark blue ones that you like.
01:53Oh, okay. Save it for when you get home, please.
01:56Better yet, don't.
01:57Well, um, I was just done for the day, and I wanted to know what you were up to.
02:04I miss you too, naughty boy.
02:05It's a bit much, isn't it?
02:07Yeah, she's just moved in, so now I'm living with two couples.
02:09I can just be a little bit triggering. Now I'm single.
02:11You poor thing.
02:12Hey, please don't feel sorry for me.
02:14I, uh, I don't regret my decision.
02:17It's just, yeah, the love bubble can be a constant reminder.
02:21No, you hang up.
02:22No, you have to hang up.
02:24You have to hang up.
02:26Oh, bye, Sonny.
02:28There we go. Problem solved.
02:30All right, should we get out of here?
02:32Yes. Um, are you coming?
02:34Uh, can't. I've still got work to do.
02:36I thought your shift was over.
02:37See, this is why I didn't want to be a doctor.
02:39It's just the work is endless.
02:41Endless.
02:42Bye.
02:43Bye, then.
02:44Look, I don't want to talk about it anymore.
02:47But your dad is...
02:48No, no, my family, my problem.
02:50Let her rest.
02:51Okay.
02:53Oh, cool. You're home.
02:54Hi.
02:54Hey.
02:55Hey. Um, I'm going to go meet Dana for, uh, some drinks, grab some lunch, play some pool.
02:59You want to join?
03:01Sure. Yeah, that sounds good.
03:04Okay. Well, I'm going to get a shower if you want to find your good moods.
03:07Great.
03:08Great.
03:13We've been working non-stop lately.
03:16I'm starting to think that something is up.
03:18Well, her job is pretty full-on.
03:20Maybe she's just trying to get her head on admin?
03:23Yeah, maybe.
03:24That's why I've barely seen her since I've moved in.
03:27How's that going, by the way?
03:28Do you like living with Sonny?
03:29I do, yeah.
03:30And he's also really into it, which is a relief.
03:32Oh.
03:34How's Tarnay and Harper?
03:36Uh, well, I haven't heard a peep, so I assume everything's all good.
03:40Dare I say that the mood worked out for everybody.
03:42Oh, phew.
03:44John.
03:45Hello.
03:46How are you?
03:47Spiffing.
03:48Oh, really?
03:49Tell you all about it if you've got the time.
03:51Uh, I don't right now because I'm going to meet Sonny, but maybe later?
03:56Hold you to it.
03:57I'll see you later.
03:58You'd be Jo.
04:00You and your dad are moving into Irene's old place?
04:03Yeah, that's us.
04:04Yeah.
04:05John Palmer.
04:06JP.
04:07We haven't formally met, but I'm pretty sure you know who I am already.
04:10Oh, no, I don't.
04:11Sorry.
04:12Oh, okay.
04:13Um, would you like a tour of the surf club?
04:17I'm free if you're free.
04:18Oh, no, I've actually already seen it a few times.
04:20Oh, right.
04:21And I need to catch up with my dad.
04:23Oh, oh, well, another time then.
04:26Hi.
04:27John.
04:28You all right?
04:31I went to see Lacey.
04:33And?
04:35Hey, here she is.
04:37Hey.
04:37Hey.
04:38Oh, honeymoon's over.
04:39Oh, no.
04:40Uh, I'm just texting Harper.
04:43Everything okay?
04:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:44I just realized I haven't heard from her in ages.
04:46Hey, is Brie working today?
04:47Yes.
04:48Oh, she should be done by now.
04:49Is she joining us?
04:49Nope.
04:50By my calculation, she's been working 24 hours straight.
04:52Yes, her shift was over, and then she made some excuses to where she had to stay.
04:57I'm thinking that she's avoiding us.
04:58No, why would she be?
04:59Uh, yeah, pretty annoying.
05:00Hey, guys, she's going through a breakup and she lives with two couples.
05:03That would have loved me, too.
05:03No, it's more complex than that.
05:04It's, no, it's not.
05:06It's that.
05:07That's terrible.
05:07It's just that.
05:08We're, like, driving her out of our own home.
05:10Leave it with me.
05:11Why?
05:11Where are you going?
05:12I will text you instructions.
05:14Instructions?
05:15What?
05:23Come on.
05:30Stupid machine.
05:31Oh, what did the machine ever do to you?
05:33Hey, what are you doing here?
05:35I've come to save you from yourself, and that from you.
05:39Kate, I actually can't deal with this right now.
05:41I'm really busy.
05:42Oh, yeah?
05:43Oh, really?
05:43I don't see any patients around.
05:44No emergencies happening.
05:45Sunny, what do you want?
05:47I want to make you an offer that you can't refuse.
05:53I'm not sure I want to go to this thing at John's.
05:55Well, I'm sure I don't.
05:57Anyway, I'm busy.
05:58Doing what?
05:59Well, anything else.
06:00Oh, come on.
06:01It's a lovely idea.
06:03Hey, we've got John's message about the group.
06:05Do you know?
06:06Yeah, I saw him just before.
06:08Did he say what it was about?
06:09No.
06:10I said we go.
06:11Good.
06:12Yeah, I obviously need some cheering.
06:14I don't know about that.
06:15He seemed pretty upbeat to me.
06:18He just said goodbye to his best friend for good.
06:21Weird, huh?
06:22Marilyn, we'd better go to this thing.
06:23It seems like there's something going on with Farmer.
06:26Yes, yes.
06:27It's beyond me.
06:30Hey.
06:30Whoa.
06:31What's all this?
06:32Hey, what does it look like?
06:34Um, hey, were you still with Theo when I texted him?
06:36Yes, yes.
06:37Got your very cryptic message.
06:38Get booze.
06:39Meet at home.
06:40Great.
06:41All part of my master plan.
06:43Um, hey, would you mind clearing this for me, please?
06:45In here?
06:46What?
06:46Why?
06:46Because I need the sink for ice and this space for a bar.
06:50A bar?
06:50Okay, um, I thought you were telling Brie just, you know, come on home.
06:54Yeah, I was, and I did.
06:55Um, but she has some reports she needs to file before she comes home,
06:58which actually leaves us limited time.
06:59So actually, if you could get a move on with the ice and sink.
07:01Okay, okay, okay, okay, you do.
07:02Thanks, babe.
07:02But just to clarify, so, um, you're throwing a party,
07:05and you told that to Brie, and then Brie was like,
07:07that sounds good, and that tells all my problems.
07:09Oh, no, I didn't tell her we're throwing a party.
07:11I basically said that I have an offer that she can't refuse,
07:13but she needs to come home first.
07:14My plan is we'll have a few drinks, we'll laugh, we'll all relax,
07:18and she'll realise she doesn't have to distance herself from us.
07:22That's really sweet.
07:23Yeah, I thought so.
07:25Yeah, you're so sweet.
07:27Thanks.
07:27Aren't you?
07:28You're sweet.
07:31Oh, Brie, hey, you're home.
07:33Brie, hi.
07:33Hi.
07:34Uh, guys, I can go back to the hospital.
07:37No, no, not at all.
07:38No.
07:39Come with me.
07:40Okay, why did you need me to come home?
07:43Yeah, you'll see.
07:48If she was right, I should have known better.
07:58What made you want to poke the bear this time?
08:00You know the foster kid, Colin?
08:03He was reunited with his father today,
08:06and they looked happy.
08:09Reminds you of how things used to be?
08:11Hmm.
08:13You know, she used to be the first one out of the house
08:15when I got home from work.
08:17I remember.
08:19She'd come flying down the driveway like a bat out of hell,
08:23telling stories about things that happened in the class
08:27or what her mates had said.
08:32Sometimes she's talking so fast,
08:34I can't even understand what she's talking about.
08:39You have to stop doing this to yourself.
08:43You don't have to worry about me.
08:45How can I not?
08:47Every time Lacey rejects you,
08:48it takes a huge toll.
08:50Just part of being a parent.
08:53Pretty sucky part.
08:56What do you want to order?
08:58Dinner's on me.
09:00Thanks.
09:01Maybe get a burger, obviously,
09:03and then some dessert.
09:06That'll cheer you up.
09:07Thanks, sweetheart.
09:08I don't think it just might.
09:10How long did it take you to refer this?
09:14Well, it's amazing what you can get done when you're motivated.
09:17You sure this is the best way to make Brie feel part of the game?
09:20Well, our party fixes everything.
09:21There's some water coming in!
09:22There's some water coming in!
09:23Yay!
09:24Yay!
09:24Yay!
09:25Yay!
09:26Yay!
09:26Yay!
09:27What are you telling me what's going on?
09:29Yeah, it's called a party.
09:30It's what people do when they don't work all the time.
09:32I know what a party is, but why are we having one?
09:34It's for you.
09:35Why?
09:36To celebrate you.
09:37Go big or go home, mate.
09:38We are home.
09:39Yeah, well, yeah.
09:40Best of both worlds.
09:41Wait, so this is all for me?
09:44Mm-hmm.
09:45Why?
09:46Because, you know, we've been kind of making you like a fifth wheel lately, and we're sorry.
09:50What?
09:51No, I don't...
09:52I don't...
09:54You don't have to pretend.
09:56Yeah, sorry.
09:57I've been feeling a little bit on the outer.
10:00Yeah, and you shouldn't, because this is your home.
10:02Do you mean the home made up of two couples and me?
10:04No.
10:05Just five good friends.
10:06This is, um, this is...
10:08This is really sweet.
10:09So, does that mean you're in?
10:12Well, you went to all this effort.
10:14I can't really say no.
10:15Hey!
10:16Let the games commence!
10:18Follow me, please.
10:19Yeah!
10:20Hey!
10:21This station right here is what I like to simply call water or vodka.
10:25Will you just take a shot?
10:26Will it be water?
10:27Will it be vodka?
10:28Who knows?
10:29Let's take a shot.
10:30All right.
10:31Woo!
10:32To Dr. Brie.
10:36Oh, it's all vodka I forgot to mention.
10:39Hi!
10:40Hi!
10:41Oh, great!
10:43Hi!
10:44Everybody's here.
10:45Oh, thank you, John.
10:47And this chivalrous is when we're married.
10:49Well, it's high time, because starting today, I'm turning over a new leaf.
10:53Is that what this dinner's all about?
10:55No.
10:56It's just about a whole bunch of friends getting together to enjoy themselves over dinner.
10:59Oh, come on.
11:00There's got to be more to it than that.
11:03Well, yes.
11:04Yes, I do have some news.
11:06Right.
11:07What?
11:08Irene has sent me some photos from Cyprus.
11:10Oh, Tommy.
11:11Oh, well.
11:12Oh, Al.
11:13She looks happy.
11:14Yeah, she does, isn't she?
11:15Well, it's good that she's spending time with Luke while she's still herself.
11:18I guess I was there.
11:19Well, I don't have to wish, because I'm flying over to Paris to meet up with her.
11:24Struth!
11:25When?
11:26In about six weeks, Irene bought me a ticket before she left.
11:29Well, thank God for that, because there's no way no other man you would have bought one
11:33for yourself.
11:34Mr. Stupid.
11:35Ah, it's fine now.
11:36Well, that's a fair cop.
11:38So, how about a round of drinks to kick things off to toast Irene?
11:42Oh, yeah.
11:43Great idea.
11:56Oh, yeah.
11:57Oh, yeah.
11:58Oh, yeah.
11:59Oh, yeah.
12:00Oh, yeah.
12:01Oh, yeah.
12:02Oh, yeah.
12:03Oh, yeah.
12:04Oh, yeah.
12:05Oh, yeah.
12:06Oh, yeah.
12:07Oh, yeah.
12:08Tell me how you're feeling.
12:09Once the pain is done, we move all our stuff in.
12:11I've already started planning where everything's going to go.
12:14I know you wish the three of us were setting up a house together.
12:18I'm sorry.
12:19We can't keep getting kicked in the teeth by Lacey.
12:22I don't like the idea of giving up.
12:24Well, the best thing we can do is hope that she comes around.
12:29Where is that noise coming from?
12:31It's so loud.
12:32This better be good, Newman.
12:34I'm having dinner.
12:36What's that?
12:40Okay, I'll handle it.
12:41Yep.
12:43Everything okay?
12:45Been to complain about the noise upstairs, but it shut it down.
12:49Wait, didn't we just talk about not poking the bear?
12:51Can't you send one of your minions to do it?
12:53No.
12:54I'm not sending one of my minions.
12:55Better I handle this myself.
12:56Hey!
12:57Hey!
12:58Beacons here!
12:59I love you!
13:00This is not so much better than working late at the hospital.
13:03Oh, no contest.
13:04Seriously, honey, you are the best!
13:05Yeah, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
13:06A whole dollar!
13:07Oh, but guys, thank you.
13:08I really needed this.
13:09Oh, you know me, any excuse to party?
13:10I love this music!
13:11Yeah!
13:12Hello!
13:13Hello!
13:14Hey!
13:15What are you doing here?
13:16There's been some noise complaints.
13:17From who?
13:18You know I can't do it.
13:19You know I can't tell you that.
13:20The point is, we appreciate it.
13:21If you're just a little bit of the future, if you're the best.
13:22Yeah, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
13:23A whole dollar!
13:24A whole dollar!
13:25A whole dollar!
13:26Oh, but guys, thank you.
13:27I really needed this.
13:28Oh, you know me, any excuse to party?
13:29I love this music!
13:30Yeah!
13:31Hello!
13:32Hello!
13:33Hey!
13:34What are you doing here?
13:35There's been some noise complaints.
13:36From who?
13:37You know I can't tell you that.
13:38The point is, we appreciate it if you just tone things down a bit.
13:39We understand.
13:40We're sorry, officer.
13:41No, no, no.
13:42Are you for real?
13:43I'm afraid so.
13:44But it's still so early.
13:45I'm afraid so.
13:46You know I can't tell you that.
13:47The point is, we appreciate it if you just tone things down a bit.
13:52We understand.
13:53We're sorry, officer.
13:54No, no, no.
13:55Are you for real?
13:56I'm afraid so.
13:57But it's still so early, Dad.
13:59Lacey, the music has to be turned down now.
14:22You might want to get out of here.
14:24What? Why?
14:25Lacey will be hot on my heels.
14:27And if she sees you, she's going to-
14:29Are you punishing me?
14:31You know I can't give you special treatment.
14:33Why not?
14:34You give it to her.
14:35Lacey-
14:36No, no, no. Take your stupid key.
14:37I'm not a part of your life.
14:38You're not a part of mine.
14:39Got it?
14:44Is it just me, or is anyone else not buying John's happy act?
14:48No, no.
14:49Seems a bit odd.
14:50But then I've often found Palmer odd.
14:52He's in a very good mood.
14:53He's in a very good mood.
14:54Well, if you want me, why don't you just ask him?
14:57That's a good idea.
15:06Are you okay, Palmer?
15:07I will be when they rustle up a decent camp, Sav.
15:10That's not what I meant and you know it.
15:12I don't actually.
15:14You all know that Irene leaving town was a huge kick in the guts for you.
15:19But here you are being happy as Larry.
15:21Your point being?
15:23I reckon you're putting on up front.
15:26Au contraire, my friend.
15:28That's French.
15:29No, I'm actually following in Irene's footsteps.
15:32I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life.
15:34Are you sure?
15:35Alf, I feel great.
15:37We all know that a while back, the black dog had you by the throat.
15:42And I'd hate to see that happen again on my watch.
15:46Irene's predicament is tragic, but I'm thrilled that she's making the most of whatever time she has.
15:51You know, I find it inspiring, not depressing.
15:54And knowing that I'm going to see you again soon has given me a real lift.
15:57Thanks.
15:58I'm glad to hear it.
16:01Here we go, ladies.
16:02I'm sorry about the delay.
16:05Everything okay, fellas?
16:06Why is everyone grilling me like a cheese toast?
16:09Can't a bunch of friends kick back and enjoy a meal together?
16:12Of course they can.
16:14I'm just worried there's something you're not telling us about the point of all this.
16:18The point is friendship.
16:20Irene's letter reminded me that we need to look after each other.
16:24And I just thought it would be a good idea if we checked in every now and then over a good meal.
16:29I think that's a great idea and Irene would approve.
16:32That's really all it is.
16:34My only agenda is to foster a sense of community to bring us all together.
16:40Now, bon appetit.
16:42That's French too.
16:43Cheers.
16:44Cheers.
16:45Cheers.
16:46How's she doing?
16:50Falling down might take a while.
16:53Oh, fair enough.
16:54Poor Lacey.
16:55It's a shame we had to pull the plug.
16:56I was having such a good time.
16:57Hey!
16:58It's not a real party unless the cops show up.
17:00Oh, for you being all positive.
17:02Oh.
17:05Okay guys, don't be weird.
17:06You're allowed to kiss your boyfriend.
17:07I'm not going to go and hide in the hospital.
17:10We just want you to feel comfortable here again, that's all.
17:13I do.
17:14I do.
17:15And if it starts to get too much, then I'll just say something.
17:18Good.
17:19And for what it's worth, you're handling things a lot better than Remy at the moment.
17:24Yeah, it's true.
17:27It's not a competition.
17:30I'm going to get some fresh air.
17:33Want to try it?
17:34Yes, sure.
17:35Well, I mean, mission accomplished?
17:45I think so.
17:46It's actually a really good party.
17:48Thanks.
17:49I feel like this is something that Harper needs.
17:51I kind of feel bad she wasn't here.
17:53Do you?
17:54Kidding.
17:55I know, you miss her, don't you?
17:57I do.
17:58I do.
17:59I mean, I know that she has Archie and Tana now though, so she probably hasn't even noticed
18:02I'm gone.
18:04Impossible.
18:05I think you should see her tomorrow.
18:10Get your sister fix.
18:12We have all really good ideas tonight.
18:14Thanks.
18:15What's going on?
18:16Good tequila.
18:19Now that is what I call a good meal, my friends.
18:22Mmm, I'm as full as a good.
18:24Yeah, I wish I said no to that dessert.
18:26Well, better to burst a stomach than to waste good food, my mad old mum used to say.
18:31Well, I hate to break up the party, but there's a bet out there calling my name.
18:35Are you getting up early tomorrow and go fishing?
18:36Are the French insufferable?
18:37I don't know, but I'll make sure that when I'm in France, I'll find out for you.
18:42All right.
18:43Well, we should get the bill.
18:44Ah, yeah.
18:45Everyone's happy to split up.
18:46Ah, don't be silly.
18:47I'll get this.
18:48Oh, you're a real comedian tonight, Palmer.
18:51No, I'm serious.
18:52My treat.
18:53Really?
18:54Oh, you're not joking.
18:55No.
18:56Oh, right, John.
18:58That's very generous.
18:59It's the first time for everything, I suppose.
19:00But seriously, Palmer, thanks.
19:01We appreciate it.
19:02I'm just pleased you all enjoyed yourselves.
19:04Oh, that's lovely.
19:05We should get going.
19:06All right.
19:07All right.
19:08All right.
19:09John, you sure about this?
19:12The pleasure of your company was worth its weight in gold.
19:15There's something definitely wrong.
19:29I think you're making a mountain of Morgan.
19:31Are you sure about that?
19:32Yes.
19:33I just think the guy's trying to do something nice for us all.
19:36Although I do think I'm the only person in the bay that's sad that Irene's left.
19:40What are you talking about?
19:42John is clearly sad that Irene has left.
19:44He's lost the plot.
19:46I think he's happy.
19:47Baby, John has never in all the time that we have known him invited everyone to dinner,
19:52then carried on about how he is the host of the dinner party, and then at the end of
19:57the evening offered to pay for everyone.
19:59Well, that's weird.
20:01But he did say something about turning over a new leaf.
20:05I'm sure that this is that.
20:07I don't know.
20:09I'm going to keep an eye on him just in case.
20:11Okay.
20:12Mm-hmm.
20:13Who appro-to have one?
20:14That is!
20:15Stephanie
20:17Who does add spring?
20:18Alright!
20:19There is the spring.
20:20Hey, everybody!
20:21Send hard!"
20:22Waiting so long
20:28I hear your name
20:35When the light's alone
20:42Your heart is beating slow
20:49All the roads are leading
20:54To you
20:57What have we got?
21:04Male, age unknown.
21:06He was found combative and disorientated on the street.
21:08Hey, sir.
21:09My name's Bree.
21:10I'm going to take care of you.
21:11Sir.
21:12Get away.
21:12Get away.
21:13Keep still from the time to help you.
21:15What am I getting out of here?
21:15Sir, please.
21:16No, it's funny.
21:17No, it's funny.
21:18Stop it.
21:18No, it's funny.
21:19Calm down.
21:20Guys, hold this down.
21:21I can't touch you.
21:23Stop.
21:29Home and Away.
21:30Weeknights on 7.
