00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08When I had to tell Cohen that you had gone, it broke his heart.
00:11And when he asked why, I couldn't give him a reason.
00:13I've seen you with Cohen. You were made for him.
00:15I doubt myself all the time.
00:18If you want to know what kind of a relationship you can have with your son,
00:21you're going to have to give it a shot.
00:23I liked it.
00:25I need you both to know that from now on, my son is my priority.
00:27I'm going to stay at the motel and hang around here for a little bit if that's alright with you two.
00:30Oh, I think that's a great idea.
00:32Heard about Brie?
00:33Yeah, it's pretty awful, eh?
00:35Yeah, Joe just told me. Apparently she was working when it happened.
00:39Joe was there.
00:40Hey, Joe. I'm glad you're okay.
00:44Something really horrible happened at my sister's work.
00:47And yeah, I was worried about her, but it was her moment.
00:49It was more than a moment.
00:50Please stop analyzing it.
00:52See, this is the problem with all these small towns.
00:54Every tiny little thing gets blown out of proportion.
00:56No, you can't blame Summer Bay.
00:59I mean, if we hadn't run into Dad and Joe at the hospital,
01:01then we wouldn't be having this conversation.
01:03Yeah, but I'm glad we are.
01:04Well, I'm over it.
01:05I think I just need to get back to being blissfully unaware
01:08of what's going on in their lives.
01:09How do you do that?
01:10We leave Summer Bay.
01:12That I'm alive.
01:17My future, my coffee, my love.
01:23Did you check in with Brie before you finished your shift?
01:25Briefly, yeah.
01:26I mean, she's sort of taking it in her stride.
01:28I can see that she's really shaken up.
01:30I mean, I bet.
01:31You wouldn't expect something like that to happen when you were.
01:34I mean, you know what the reality is?
01:35Is that as healthcare workers, we're top of use all the time.
01:37And sometimes it's from the patients and sometimes it's from the families.
01:40Yeah, how do you actually do it then?
01:42How do you go in there every day knowing what you could face?
01:45I don't know.
01:46I just, I remind myself that these people are in pain.
01:50And that they are not going to be their best selves.
01:53Because if they were their best selves, then they wouldn't need care in the first place.
01:56It takes a pretty special person to do what you do.
01:58It's pretty amazing.
02:00I mean it though.
02:01My nurses have to put up with this.
02:03It's crazy.
02:04You should be paid ten times your salary.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Don't I know it?
02:09It's really not all bad.
02:10I sometimes get to see the best in humanity.
02:13Just also, I sometimes get to see the worst.
02:18Leah.
02:19I hope I'm not late.
02:20No.
02:21You're just in time.
02:22I hope you're ready to lose.
02:24What's that about?
02:25I told Leah I would teach her poker.
02:28It's the least you could do after keeping me out of my own home last night.
02:32Shall we?
02:34Go easy, honoree.
02:35Absolutely.
02:36There is no way that's happening.
02:38Bye, have fun.
02:41So, how are things at home?
02:42Well, you'd know if you didn't get up at 5am to go fishing.
02:45That's not an answer, Marilyn.
02:47I just want to know how Adrian feels.
02:49Is he still happy about the decision he made to come back?
02:51Well, why don't you go home and find out?
02:53You're not going to make this easy for me, are you?
02:55I don't know what you're talking about.
02:57Oh, come on, Marilyn.
02:58I just want to know what the temperature's like at home.
03:00Mr. Stewart, I cannot be your spy today.
03:02If you want to know, you're going to have to go home and find out for yourself.
03:05Wait, so what happened when he went down the skateboard?
03:11What do you think?
03:12Your cousin Jared went completely airborne and landed in a pile of cow manure.
03:17Your family sound like a lot of fun.
03:19Yeah.
03:20So, when can I meet him, cousin Jared?
03:22Oh, soon, I'm sure.
03:24Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.
03:27My mum, your gran, is having a birthday party this weekend.
03:30A party?
03:31Yeah, and the whole family's going to be there.
03:33Would you want to come along?
03:36It's not too soon?
03:37No, no, no, not at all.
03:39I called my mum and I told her all about Cohen.
03:41Oh, right. How did that go?
03:43She was really supportive.
03:46And she can't wait to meet you.
03:48We would have to leave tomorrow, but you'd get to spend heaps of time with your cousins.
03:52Can I?
03:55Um, you know what? I reckon we can live without you for a weekend.
03:59If we go skating together, I can show you how it's done.
04:02Okay, sure. Sounds like a plan then.
04:05Do you really think running away is the answer here, babe?
04:07This isn't just about Dad and Joe.
04:09It isn't?
04:10No, I mean, I feel like this could be great for us too.
04:13Look, I know that you've got family here.
04:17And a job.
04:18But we're young.
04:19I mean, we should be out there seeing the world, not just stuck in one place.
04:24What about Marley? You basically begged him to keep your job.
04:27Yeah, but I mean, he was on the verge of firing me anyways.
04:29We'll figure something out.
04:34What do you think?
04:36Well, you want an answer right now.
04:37Look, I'm not trying to pressure you.
04:39I just don't know how much longer I can handle being in the bay.
04:42We used to skip rocks at the park down the street.
04:47And stop at the diner for coffee at three on the way.
04:51Okay, well, I have to think about it?
04:54Yeah.
04:55Of course.
04:56There was a time you and I were unstoppable.
05:01Falling apart always seemed so impossible.
05:05The chip on my shoulder still carries weight.
05:13Cause I never thought that we had an expiration date.
05:19Mmm.
05:21All in.
05:23You're bluffing.
05:25Mmm.
05:27Oh, I've foxed you, haven't I, Mr. Morgan White?
05:31Now I definitely know you're bluffing.
05:36Oh, hey! Wasn't expecting you.
05:38Yeah, clearly.
05:39I can do you in.
05:41No, no, all good. Just wanted to see how you're doing.
05:44Well, your auntie's definitely got to work on a poker face, but other than that...
05:47I'm a beginner, that's not fair.
05:50What's going on?
05:52Um...
05:53Well, Lacey wants us to move.
05:55Move?
05:56Where?
05:58Anywhere but here.
06:00She wants to leave Summer Bay and wants me to move with her.
06:03And you said no?
06:05I said I'd think about it.
06:06Well, you're not thinking about it.
06:07Leah.
06:08No, Harold, you can't just up and leave.
06:10Babe, babe, babe.
06:11What Leah's trying to say is this is a really big decision, mate.
06:14Yeah, I know that.
06:16Why does she want to leave?
06:18She says she can't be around her family and here it feels like she can't escape them.
06:23You're not seriously considering this, right?
06:27I don't know.
06:29She kind of just threw it at me, to be honest.
06:31When does she want you to leave?
06:32Like, it's not like you have to make your choice right away.
06:35She said I can have time.
06:37But it doesn't feel that way.
06:38What are you looking for?
06:40I don't know where my blue shirt is.
06:41You know that one you got me?
06:42I was going to wear it to the party.
06:43Oh, yeah.
06:44I think it's on the line.
06:45Do you want to have a look?
06:46Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:48I think it's on the line.
06:49Come on, have a look.
06:55Young Cohen looks pretty happy.
06:57Yeah.
06:58He does.
07:00So do you.
07:01I'm pleased for you.
07:02Andrew, she really wanted you two to reconnect.
07:06I am.
07:07She's a good person.
07:08It's been an hour a lot for getting me back here.
07:11You obviously raised her right.
07:14A while back, there's quite a few people who would have argued about that.
07:18But your kids surprise you.
07:21Can't wait to watch him grow up.
07:23This weekend's just the start.
07:25I'm going to be the person that Colin needs.
07:29Okay.
07:30Found a shirt.
07:32Crisis averted.
07:33Hey, listen, what are you doing?
07:34Are you sticking around?
07:35Do you want to have an early dinner?
07:36Yeah.
07:37Sounds perfect.
07:38Great.
07:53Oh, thank you.
07:58Oh, what are you doing?
07:59I'm hoping you relax.
08:01Good luck with that.
08:03I'm still thinking about Brie.
08:05Like, she has to be in the place where the attack happened.
08:09It's so hard.
08:10Yeah.
08:11Well, I mean, on some sort of bright side, if you're going to get hurt, I guess the hospital is the place to do it.
08:16That is not funny.
08:17Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
08:18I just...
08:19I know, I know.
08:20I just...
08:21The point I want to make is that she was at her job.
08:23She shouldn't have gotten hurt at all.
08:25Yeah.
08:26You're right.
08:27You're right.
08:28Any idea when she gets out of the hospital?
08:29That's kind of hard to say.
08:30I don't know if she's healing well.
08:31That's good.
08:32I'm going to have to rethink about how all this will work.
08:36All this?
08:37Meaning?
08:38She gets home.
08:39She's not going to be out of work.
08:40We're going to have to help her.
08:41So you're concerned about her ability to work?
08:44No, I just mean...
08:45I mean, if it's the rent you're worried about, it's not like you pay it anyway.
08:48Hey.
08:49Hey.
08:50Any word from Brie?
08:51Well, actually, we were just talking about Brie.
08:53We were saying that she's really going to need our support when she gets home.
08:57I get Lacey has her reasons for leaving.
09:00What's not cleared are yours.
09:04She's it.
09:06She's the reason.
09:07But can you imagine a life away from here?
09:10Right now?
09:11No.
09:12But I can't imagine a life without Lacey anymore either.
09:14Yeah, but she's willing to leave even if you choose to stay.
09:18Is that fair?
09:19Well, I don't know that yet.
09:20I didn't ask that.
09:22Shouldn't you?
09:24What if I don't like the answer?
09:27Would it change yours?
09:29I want to be with her.
09:31What we have is more than just dating.
09:34The real thing?
09:35Yeah.
09:40Look, I can't tell you what to do, but I just want to remind you that you built a really good life here in the Bay.
09:47You know?
09:48Are you willing to leave all of that?
09:50No.
09:51I'm not.
09:52But I'm also not ready to let Lacey walk away either.
09:55Mm.
09:57If it was Leah, how would you handle it?
10:00You met your aunt, mate, but you don't handle her and I don't reckon Lacey's that different.
10:10Mm.
10:11So what do I do?
10:13All I know is Lacey can't make you leave and you can't make her stay.
10:19So you're really leaving?
10:20Yeah.
10:21I feel like it's the right thing to do.
10:22Didn't your aunt's sister just buy a house?
10:24Oh, that's why you're leaving.
10:25Got it.
10:26Do you want to change the subject?
10:27Yeah.
10:28I do.
10:29Hey.
10:30Oh, hey, man.
10:31I'm gonna leave.
10:32Yeah, I'm gonna go with you.
10:33Have you made a decision?
10:36Yeah.
10:37Good.
10:38Please tell me it's a yes.
10:41It's good, right?
10:42Getting to meet my family.
10:43Yeah, mate.
10:44Yeah, it's a big deal.
10:45Yeah.
10:46Yeah, yeah.
10:47No, I'll tell him.
10:48All right.
10:49See you, Mum.
10:50Bye.
10:51Bye.
10:52Bye.
10:53Bye.
10:54Bye.
10:55Bye.
10:56Bye.
10:57Bye.
10:58Bye.
10:59Bye.
11:00Bye.
11:01Bye.
11:02Bye.
11:03Bye.
11:04Bye.
11:05Bye.
11:06Bye.
11:07Bye.
11:09Bye.
11:10Bye.
11:11Bye.
11:12She's excited for you to come to the party.
11:14Does she want me to, like, get her a present or something?
11:16Oh, well, we could.
11:17No, no, no, no.
11:18You'll be present enough for her.
11:19You sure?
11:20Yeah.
11:21Hey, you wanna head out to the pig?
11:22Yeah, all right.
11:23We'll be back soon.
11:24Yeah, see you in a sec.
11:25Bye.
11:27Bye.
11:28Do I get to be smug?
11:30Yeah, you do.
11:31Your handiwork paid off.
11:34Yeah, I think Adrian has really stepped up, don't you reckon?
11:37He has.
11:38Yes.
11:39But are you sure you and he are on the same page?
11:42What do you mean?
11:43Well, they're getting on very well together and this weekend might be the start of a lot
11:47more time together.
11:48Well, we want Adrian to be a part of Cohen's life.
11:51I mean, that's a good thing, right?
11:53Yeah.
11:54Yeah, it is a good thing, but I just think that, um, Adrian might be starting to think
12:00about maybe going for full custody.
12:03Oh, Ted, he chucked in the towel two seconds ago.
12:08I honestly don't think he's ready for anything more than what he's doing right now.
12:11Well, I don't know, love.
12:12I had a yard to him earlier and I got the distinct impression that he was looking for
12:17more.
12:18But what would I know?
12:19I mean, you're probably right.
12:21Look, uh, do you mind if I leave you lot for dinner?
12:25I might go home and get a bit of peace and quiet.
12:28Yeah, sure.
12:29I'll figure it out.
12:30See you later.
12:31Don't know.
12:37Yay.
12:39That was a little tense back there with Theo and Lacey.
12:42Was it?
12:43Wasn't it?
12:44I mean, do you think that they'll stay or go?
12:49Well, I could just talk to myself.
12:51What do you want me to say?
12:53If you think that they'll stay or they'll go.
12:55Sounds like a Lacey and Theo problem to me.
12:58Oh, okay.
12:59You don't care at all.
13:00We've got our own problems to deal with.
13:02Do we?
13:03What are they?
13:04How you acted before when I brought up coming up with a plan for Brie.
13:08Oh, because you made the joke about getting hurt in the hospital?
13:10I didn't find it funny.
13:11No, when you took a swing at me for not paying rent when I never even mentioned anything
13:14about rent.
13:15Yes, you did mention rent because you said when Brie comes home she's going to need help.
13:17Yeah, help.
13:18Help around the house, cooking, cleaning, that sort of thing.
13:20Never anything about rent.
13:21Oh, okay.
13:22I'm sorry.
13:23I just...
13:24I assumed because you don't pay rent that that's why you were...
13:27Yeah, I know.
13:28I heard you loud and clear.
13:29You've mentioned many times in this relationship that I don't pay for anything.
13:31What?
13:32Are you going somewhere?
13:33Yeah, I'm gonna go for a walk.
13:34Um, by the way, I mean I paid for our drinks.
13:37Uh.
13:38But we can buy ahil tudo in aский area.
13:45Isn't that friendly?
13:50Yeah.
13:51Uh.
13:52So?
13:53I got him to think about staying.
13:55So, what exactly did he say?
13:57That he's going to think about it.
13:58Justin, did you talk him out of leaving or not?
14:00You know we don't really have that kind of power over here.
14:01Yeah.
14:02You're out, Pete.
14:03him out of leaving or not? You know, we don't really have that kind of power. We can at least
14:07try. You had one job. One job. Yes, I know. Babe, he's an adult. And it's our responsibility to help
14:15him work through this. And I tried to help him, but not by talking him out of it. So what exactly
14:19did you do? I wanted to get him to think about what he really wants. What he really wants.
14:25What's wrong with that? Nothing. So what does he want? He doesn't know. You know, he's
14:32going to try and figure it out. How are you so calm about this? He could leave us. And
14:39if he does, at least it'll be his decision. Well, I guess I should have expected this.
14:50I'm sorry. I don't want to leave. Just please don't roll it out so fast. I know I rushed you.
14:59I can have a bit more time to think about it. My answer will still be the same.
15:05Right.
15:09So I'm on my own. No, you're not. But if you stay... That's not an option.
15:16Look, I care about you. And I really, really don't want to lose you.
15:21Are you not tired of running away every time things get hard?
15:23This will be just one last time.
15:25And where do we run to? What's out there that's not in Summer Bay?
15:28Well, this place is not perfect.
15:30It kind of is.
15:32Well, I want more. There's a whole world to see.
15:34And there's so much more. That's not what's going on here.
15:36What is the worst thing that could happen if you stay?
15:37All right, this is stupid.
15:38Just tell me. What is the worst thing?
15:40I might forgive Jo.
15:42And then that would mean forgetting Mum just like everyone else.
15:47But I can't. I can't do it.
15:50Someone still has to care that she's gone, Theo.
15:56You're never going to forget your mum.
16:01But you also can't keep running.
16:03We can go fishing with him, brother.
16:11Yeah, I know a bit about that.
16:12Thanks for Mr. Stewart.
16:13Mm-hmm.
16:13Well, maybe you could show your cousins how it's done.
16:15That sounds awesome.
16:16Hey, if you want to spend more time with them,
16:19we could join them at the farm after the party.
16:21Yeah? Spend the week there.
16:22Seriously? Can I, Rue?
16:24Oh, let's just see how the weekend goes first, eh?
16:27Hey, you're right.
16:29I'm not saying it's a bad idea.
16:31Yeah?
16:31See how we're feeling after you've met everyone, right, Cohen?
16:34Yeah, I guess.
16:37Yeah, we can talk about the farm another day.
16:39But, trust me, when you get there,
16:42you won't want to leave.
16:54Terrible tea.
16:55Need something stronger than that.
16:56I'll get that.
16:59Hey.
17:00Hey.
17:01Now a good time?
17:03Yeah.
17:03Um, what's going on?
17:08Oh, don't worry.
17:09We're not going anywhere.
17:09Oh, thank goodness.
17:11That is such good news.
17:12You're right.
17:13We never have forgiven me.
17:15So, you're both staying put?
17:17Yeah.
17:18What made you change your mind?
17:20Well, Theo made me realise what's important and that I need to stop running.
17:30Do you think I should pack more stuff, you know, just in case you go to the farm?
17:33Oh, why don't we wait and see?
17:35Why don't you worry something from your cousin if you need anything warmer?
17:37All right.
17:38What do you reckon?
17:39You want to practice some of your bombs?
17:40Oh, I, two, four.
17:41Oh, go on.
17:42Don't give me that.
17:43Go on, then.
17:44There you go.
17:44You're quiet.
17:49Oh, I feel a bit like a third wheel.
17:52Sorry.
17:53No, no, no.
17:54It's, it's great.
17:55You know, you're two peas in a pod.
17:58You reckon?
17:59Yeah.
18:01You were right.
18:03I can be a father.
18:05Yeah.
18:06You know, we should talk about maybe just slowing things down.
18:09Look, I know you're worried about it becoming overwhelming for me or him, but after our chat last week, I don't have any more doubts.
18:17Oh, really?
18:18You convinced me that I can do this.
18:21I can be his dad and I don't want to waste more time.
18:26What do you mean?
18:29I want to come in with me, full time.
18:33I'm going to ask him tomorrow.
18:37Go on, then.
18:39Go on, then.
18:55Hey.
18:56Hey.
18:58What's going on here?
19:00Bank statements.
19:02Oh, okay.
19:04Yeah, I've marked where I've paid rent.
19:06What?
19:07Oh, you know, rent sent to Bri.
19:08Sent to her account.
19:11Wow.
19:12You really do pay rent.
19:14Why didn't you say?
19:16I didn't realise I had to.
19:18I don't know what we're doing this weekend.
19:19Oh, by the way, I pay rent.
19:20Well, I don't think it would have to be like that.
19:22It's just that I really thought that you were living here for free.
19:24Because I'm a leech, right?
19:26I've never said that.
19:27I mean, you kind of did.
19:28Not most exact words, but...
19:30I've said it many times.
19:33Anyway, I'm going to go to bed, but any questions, let me know.
19:36Hey, love.
19:56Couldn't sleep, eh?
19:58No.
19:58Is it what I said about Adrian and Cohen?
20:08I think you were right.
20:11Well, Adrian wants Cohen to live with him.
20:13You know, I thought once everything had settled down,
20:19that it might just be, you know, the weekends or school holidays.
20:24You know the kicker?
20:27He thanked me for making it all happen.
20:31You did the right thing, Ru.
20:33You just thought you'd have more time, eh?
20:42Yeah, I really did.
20:54I don't want you to stay just for the weekends.
20:56I want you to come and live with me, permanently.
20:58Dad, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can live with you.
21:01What did you say to him?
21:02What do you mean? I didn't say anything to you.
21:03You convinced me that I could do this.
21:05Why would you set me up to fail?
21:06Of all the things I thought Colin was going to say,
21:08I didn't expect a flat-out rejection.
21:09Well, can you blame him?
21:10When your dad asked you to go and live with him,
21:12why did you say no?
21:13Isn't this what you wanted?
21:15It's not about what I want.
21:16It's not about me.
21:17Whatever you decide, I'm going to be absolutely fine.
21:21But you've got to be honest with yourself.
