00:00No way

00:03It's over. No more questions about what happened on that day. No more guilt. No more confusion.

00:10I'm really worried about Lacey.

00:12Me too. She's gonna need a space for a very long time.

00:16How are you holding up?

00:17Now I can say with absolute certainty that I didn't do it. I didn't cause Mom's death.

00:22You don't think I'm terrible for feeling that way?

00:24No. I don't think you're terrible at all.

00:26If you need me at all, call anytime.

00:28Thanks.

00:30Well...

00:31I, starting a record label, I want you to be the manager.

00:34I was just showing Justin photos of the place I bought.

00:37Yeah, what do you think?

00:38It'll be better once the fit-out's completed.

00:40Yeah, and once the tech guys arrive with the sound gear from Germany, right?

00:43Fellas, fellas, this all, it sounds amazing, but I've got to pull you up there. I can't do it.

00:47I don't have the capacity for it, especially with everything that's going on.

00:51He's got to be my priority.

00:52This all just feels so wrong.

00:54What do you mean? Why?

00:55Justin's already bailed.

00:57To be honest, mate, my heart just isn't in it anymore either.

00:59I can't do it anymore either.

01:02Hi, Dana.

01:07No!

01:08How'd you not with me?

01:10Hi, Dana.

01:24No, how'd you know it was me?

01:26Because you stomp like a baby elf.

01:28I was going for stealthy.

01:31How are you?

01:32Not bad. How was your shift?

01:35Long. I was actually already in the middle of it when you text me about Theo's memorial.

01:39Otherwise, obviously, I would have gone.

01:41Sorry, I didn't expect you to drop everything.

01:43How was it?

01:44Yeah, it was really amazing hearing all the stories about him I hadn't heard.

01:48But, yeah, it was pretty heavy.

01:51Of course.

01:53Well, the memorial was just a start.

01:57Remy and Justin have pulled the pin on the record label.

02:01I get why Justin may want to prioritise him and Lear at the moment.

02:05Yeah, I mean, I get it too, but it's no reason for Remy to give up on the label.

02:10But his heart's not in it anymore, babe.

02:12Yeah, I know, but I mean, you spent so much time and money on it.

02:15He bought a studio. He's been dreaming big.

02:18Oh, jeez, I kind of thought he was just doing it to get over Brie.

02:21There's that too, but, you know, all the more reason to continue.

02:25So what are you going to do?

02:29What's that?

02:32It's from Lacey.

02:34She moved out.

02:35Oh, wow.

02:37I mean, I knew she was living with her family, but I didn't know it was permanent.

02:40I'm really going to miss her.

02:42I get it, though.

02:43Yeah, me too.

02:45Just being with her family is what she needs right now.

02:48I should text Brie.

02:49I should let her know.

02:50Well, I guess we've got a spare room now.

03:10Hey.

03:11Hey.

03:12How's your walk?

03:13It was good.

03:14Reckon he's due for a feed, though.

03:15Oh, are you hungry, my little guy?

03:18So Joe wants to meet up again.

03:21I think someone might have a crush.

03:23So there's a lot going on at the moment, that's all.

03:25Well, I'm more than happy to spend time with this little guy.

03:27Yeah, bubba.

03:31Hi, Joe.

03:31Nice to see you.

03:32Hey.

03:34Sorry, I didn't realise you guys had plans today.

03:36Wow.

03:36No, no.

03:38It's nappies and laundry for me, so enjoy your ketchup.

03:41See you.

03:41See you, boy.

03:42Thanks.

03:42You OK?

03:47Yeah, I'm fine.

03:50Actually, I'm not fine.

03:51I don't know why I said that.

03:53Come on.

03:54Brick is on me.

04:06Thanks, mate.

04:07Look at me.

04:12Hey, mate.

04:12How you getting on?

04:14Yeah, maybe better.

04:15Yeah.

04:16Sorry to hear about Theo, man.

04:17I know you guys were close.

04:18Yeah.

04:19Yeah, we were.

04:20How's Lacey?

04:23Yeah, she's not great, but she has my dad taking care of her, so...

04:26That's good.

04:27Ah, I'll let you guys tell it.

04:29Good to see you.

04:30Yeah, take care, mate.

04:31See you.

04:33Table or booth?

04:34Uh, booth.

04:38What?

04:39So, any news?

04:42What's happening with this guy?

04:43He said he's got a face of court today.

04:45Yeah, but because he already confessed, Dad said, it's like a formality.

04:49Right.

04:50Do you know when sentencing will be?

04:51No, not yet.

04:53So, you must be relieved.

04:55Yes and no.

05:00Do you ever wish you could switch your own brain off for a few hours?

05:04I think everybody does.

05:06How does that work in practice, though?

05:09Well, I couldn't bore you with a lecture on calf muscles and how the soleus works if it will help you zone out.

05:15You know, that actually sounds strangely appealing.

05:19All right.

05:20Well, how about I get us some coffees and we can just talk about absolutely nothing important.

05:24Perfect.

05:25Yeah.

05:37Yes.

05:38Just because we're not roomies anymore, that doesn't change anything.

05:42All right?

05:42We're still friends.

05:44Good.

05:46Okay.

05:47Just take care of yourself.

05:49All right.

05:49Talk to you soon.

05:50Bye.

05:51You little mind reader.

05:53No idea how much I wanted a coffee.

05:55No, I did.

05:57Was that Lacey?

05:58Yeah.

05:59I really think it was the right thing, her moving in with her family.

06:02Yeah, me too.

06:04Are you thinking about Theo?

06:06Yeah.

06:07But mainly Remy.

06:09And he's lifting up.

06:10Even more than me, I think.

06:12Well, he's quit the record label.

06:13What can you do?

06:14A few swift backhanders to his head might straighten him out.

06:17Yeah, I think maybe don't hit him today.

06:19By the way, I need to talk some sense into him.

06:32Need a word with you.

06:33That sounds serious for you.

06:36You're not giving up on the record label.

06:37No, too early for this.

06:38Look, someone needs to stop you from being an idiot and walking away from this.

06:42Like, music's always inspired you, man.

06:44I mean, that and women, but music doesn't always break your heart.

06:46Thank you for the reminder.

06:48Look, face it.

06:49Without the label right now, you're a bit of a loser.

06:52You're really selling it, aren't you?

06:53I get you're upset about Theo.

06:55I do.

06:55I mean, we all are.

06:56Sonny, I think, look, the label doesn't feel right anymore.

07:00End of story.

07:01Just let me enjoy my coffee in peace.

07:03Sonny, Sonny!

07:04Look, I've got a million reasons why we both need this label.

07:07Just hear me out.

07:10Fine.

07:12You buy me another coffee first.

07:14Out of your own money.

07:15You'd be dumb to let this recording studio go to waste, all right?

07:25I saw how proud you were showing the photos of the space of Justin yesterday.

07:28Thanks, mate.

07:29Yeah, right before he quit.

07:31What about all the plans you had?

07:32Give it up, mate.

07:34I've already made my decision.

07:36How could I sign our first artist when I know it was always meant to be Theo?

07:41I hear you.

07:42I do.

07:43Try flipping that.

07:46All right.

07:47Theo was giving music another shot because he refused to give up on his dreams.

07:52Yeah, but I didn't start this because it was my lifelong dream.

07:54No, you started it so you could try and move on from Bree and it was kind of working.

07:57Bree and I are fine, thank you.

07:59Really?

08:00Yeah, we are, all right?

08:01She went out of her way to tell me about Theo.

08:05And even if we weren't cool, getting over an ex isn't enough of a reason to keep doing this.

08:12All right.

08:13Well, here's a bigger reason.

08:17What better way to honor Theo than by giving new artists a break?

08:24You'd love that idea.

08:28I mean, yeah, I haven't thought about it like that.

08:32I know, because you're not as smart as me.

08:33Get out of yourself.

08:34Come on.

08:36You know I'm right.

08:41Yeah, you are.

08:45All right, great work today, guys.

08:46And if you haven't already, please make sure to reach the for your next class, okay?

08:49Yeah.

08:49All right, we'll see you next time.

08:51Next time.

08:51Hey.

08:53Hey.

08:55Hey.

08:55Feeling in your beard?

08:57Honestly, I'm a bit embarrassed.

08:59Oh, why is it?

09:00I just feel like I've been leaning on you too much lately.

09:04I did offer the talk.

09:08It's almost like you knew a mindless chit-chat is exactly what I needed this morning.

09:12Oh, hey, now.

09:12I wouldn't exactly call the biomechanics of car phrases mindless.

09:15Oh, no, that was riveting.

09:18Look, I know we didn't dig into anything too deep, but if you're up for it now.

09:24Surely you're busy.

09:25Oh, not if you give me a hand packing up the stuff.

09:28I'm going for a walk after.

09:31I'd love that.

09:32All right.

09:37Hey.

09:38Hey, no.

09:40Bad timing.

09:41We've got a patrol soon.

09:43Oh, well, I just came to give you a gift.

09:46For moi.

09:47And Sonny, to say thank you for looking after me this past few weeks.

09:50That's okay.

09:51I just hope the eye's okay.

09:52Is it okay, Mr. Archie?

09:53Yeah, don't even need painkillers.

09:55Oh, beautiful.

09:56Okay, I'm ready.

09:57Go on, you too.

09:57Give me my big expensive gift.

10:00Ta-da!

10:01Oh, you're not serious.

10:03Just don't pop it around me.

10:05Oh, okay, so you're funny now.

10:06Mm-hmm.

10:07Well, Sonny will very much appreciate the joke and the free alcohol.

10:11This is way funnier than some silly bear.

10:15Hey, lay off patch.

10:16Archie loves him.

10:18Basically part of the family, isn't he?

10:20No, he's encroaching on my territory.

10:22Don't listen to your silly mom, Archie, okay?

10:25We're the only family you're ever going to need.

10:27Yeah.

10:28It's all this relief now that Wendell's finally confessed, but now that it's over, I just miss

10:41my mom even more.

10:43Yeah, babe.

10:45Especially now that Dad's busy helping Lacey, I just feel like I'm so in my head with nowhere

10:50to let it out.

10:51That's what I'm here for.

10:52You always know how to make me feel better.

10:58Haven't done much, really.

11:00Well, you know when to listen.

11:02It's a rare quality in the male of the species.

11:05Yeah, I do my best, you know.

11:07Do you know what would really cheer me up?

11:09What's that?

11:10Watching your face while I play the voicemail from the wedding again.

11:13Oh, no, come on.

11:14I thought you deleted that.

11:15No, never.

11:16Oh, it's my ringtone now.

11:18So you never want me to call you again?

11:22I'd hate that.

11:29Question.

11:30How come Harper was so cool about us meeting up earlier?

11:34We're in a good place.

11:36Feels like a genuine friendship.

11:39Very mature.

11:40So there's nothing getting in the way, say, if you happen to be someone you were really,

11:47really into?

11:50I guess not.

12:00Everything okay?

12:03Dad wants us to go visit Mom's grave today.

12:06When was the last time you went as a family?

12:08Well, since the funeral.

12:11Have you been back alone since?

12:14Last time I had a full-time panic attack.

12:17Well, you haven't had a panic attack lately, have you?

12:21No, I haven't.

12:23Things are different now.

12:25Could be a good chance for you to prove to yourself that you can move on.

12:31It's really important to go together.

12:33It's what Mum would have wanted to.

12:36I reckon you've got this.

12:38I do, too.

12:54What was that for?

12:55Just to say thank you.

12:58For everything.

12:59Is that how you usually thank people?

13:01Probably, yeah, all the time.

13:02Don't think you're special.

13:03I guess it's the second time you've surprised me with a kiss.

13:07And if you're lucky, there'll be a third.

13:09You should go.

13:10Dad and Lacey will be waiting for me.

13:12Sure.

13:12I like my darling.

13:34Yeah.

13:35Love you.

13:36Bye.

13:36Oh, I wasn't expecting to see you in here today.

13:42Yeah, it's a quiet morning at the bait shop.

13:44I just got off the front of Jett.

13:46It's so lovely to hear his voice.

13:48Oh, how is he?

13:48Yeah, he's really good.

13:49He's doing very well.

13:51Well, that's good.

13:51We need all the positive news we can get around here.

13:54We do.

13:54Oh, hello.

13:56Yeah, hi.

13:58Hello, my darling.

13:59Oh, you look so handsome today.

14:02Well, it's not quite the thought that I have when he's screaming at four in the morning.

14:05Oh, my goodness.

14:07Hello, sweetheart.

14:09Can you hear, Auntie Melissa, cuddle?

14:10Oh, she looks like a kiss.

14:12Hi, Alf.

14:15How are you going?

14:16Well, I'd complain, but I'd listen.

14:20Oh, that's work.

14:23I can't ignore that.

14:24I'll go if you're right.

14:25Do you mind holding him for a tick?

14:27Oh, sure.

14:30What's it, Daisy?

14:32Righto, little matey.

14:34You're not going to give me any trouble, are you?

14:36Because I reckon you and me could become great mates if we give it a go.

14:40You're a natural, Mr. Stewart.

14:42Working with Palmer for all those years.

14:45Kids are easy.

14:46Poor John.

14:47Okay.

14:48Yeah.

14:49Thanks.

14:50Bye.

14:50You could almost be Archie's granddad, Mrs. Stewart.

14:53Well, as long as it's not great, granddad.

14:55There we go.

14:56Good boy.

14:57I'm telling you, we don't need to hire a ton of people to get it done.

15:00How would you know?

15:01You've only seen photos of the place.

15:02You're just too rich these days to get your hands dirty.

15:05Okay.

15:05So you're happy to do all the soundproofing, do all the painting, rip the old equipment

15:08out, put the new equipment in?

15:10Hiring sounds good.

15:11Yeah.

15:11Dana, record label's back on.

15:13That's amazing.

15:15What changed your mind?

15:15Well, despite the lack of neurons firing in your boyfriend's brain, he can be very persuasive.

15:21Yep.

15:22He has his moments.

15:23I mean, it still feels a bit weird getting excited about things after Theo, but sure.

15:28I guess we just need to keep paying our respects in the right way.

15:30Yeah.

15:32Right.

15:32Shall we go back to mine and crack on with those plans?

15:34I'm not going back to your place.

15:36Oh, no.

15:36You can.

15:37I'm freezing in the city having meetings with the medical board.

15:39Still.

15:40There you go.

15:40Look, no exit in sight.

15:41Now move it.

15:41You do realise I'm technically your boss again?

15:45Move it, boss man.

15:47That's better.

15:48There.

15:49Hey, could you wear this to bed tonight?

15:50Get out of here.

15:51I mean, that wasn't a no.

15:54I can't believe how good you were with him.

15:56You're so lovely and warm.

15:58You make it sound like I'm normally grumpy.

16:00Oh, that thought never crossed my mind.

16:02You know, to be honest, I missed out a bit when it came to my own grandkids.

16:07It's a shame you didn't get to spend more time with Ryder when he was growing up.

16:10Yeah, Ryder is my grandson.

16:13He works on a cruise ship now.

16:15I went down to see him the other day when he was in port.

16:18Oh, that's cool.

16:19Yeah, I was pretty lucky.

16:22I got to know him pretty well in the end.

16:25Being a grandparent, it's pretty special.

16:28I think you should lock Mr. Stewart in as your chief babysitter.

16:31Oh, get out of it, Marilyn.

16:33You'd pay the babysitter.

16:35Yeah, I would, actually.

16:36There's no reason we can't make that happen.

16:38Not that you paying me, but...

16:39Sorry, I had better go.

16:43Yeah, sure, love.

16:45Bye-bye, little mate.

16:47Bye.

16:48Hey.

17:00Hey.

17:01Hey.

17:03Sorry, I know you're working, but do you have a minute?

17:07Yes, but only because this paperwork is so boring.

17:10What was that?

17:11I've been thinking about our childhood.

17:13Oh, willingly depressing yourself.

17:15Why would you do that?

17:16It feels different now that I'm a mum.

17:19Changes your perspective.

17:21What you said actually got me thinking that on our side, we're the only family that Archie's got.

17:26Yeah, I meant that as a positive.

17:28And it is.

17:28There's extended family on Tarnia's side, but no grandparents.

17:33So?

17:34So the only grandparents that Archie has are our mum and dad.

17:39Would it be so bad if I tried to track them down?

17:43Because it's been such a long time, and for all we know, they could have changed.

17:47Okay, um, did you smack your little head on the pavement today or something?

17:56I'm just trying to do what's best for my son.

17:58Yeah, what's best for your son is not to ruin his childhood the way that they've ruined ours.

18:02But they don't even know that they're grandparents.

18:04So?

18:05I mean, it's not like they deserve to know.

18:07Well, I think they do deserve to know, and I have a right to contact...

18:09This is the dumbest conversation we've ever had.

18:29Well, this was a nice surprise.

18:31This family lunch and I do something.

18:34I needed some time with a friendly face.

18:36Yes. Dana and I aren't exactly seeing eye to eye at the moment.

18:40Ah.

18:41So how's my boy been?

18:43Yeah, he's good. He's enjoyed being out and about.

18:46Al Stewart's his new best friend.

18:47Really?

18:48That's surprising.

18:50Good to know, though.

18:51So, what's happened with your sister?

18:55I may have opened a giant can of worms,

18:58and Dana is impossible to reason with at the best of times.

19:01Go on.

19:03I'm thinking of tracking down our parents.

19:06Ah.

19:08And is that a problem?

19:09You know, you've never really spoken about them.

19:12Even around the wedding, you just said they wouldn't be coming.

19:14Mm-mm.

19:15It's complicated, but the more family art she has, the better, don't you think?

19:19Yeah, yeah.

19:20You know how important a family is to me.

19:21Yeah, I do.

19:22I just wish Dana would see it that way.

19:24I mean, she doesn't get to dictate whether our son meets his grandparents or not.

19:27So, why would Dana be so against the idea?

19:31Like I said, it's complicated.

19:35Let's order first.

19:39As you can see, the breakout room is right next to the studio,

19:41so whatever we fill it with needs to have the right vibe, not just a pinball machine.

19:45Gotcha.

19:46Wow, you still draw like a short-sighted five-year-old.

19:48Yeah, well, I was hoping we could use your limited imagination.

19:51Hey, just leave the breakout room to me, man.

19:52I'm all about the feng shui.

19:53Oh, yeah?
