00:00I want you to acknowledge that we lost our baby.
00:11Why did we have to tell everyone I was pregnant?
00:13We should have known it was too good to be true.
00:16I'll take care of letting people know.
00:18You don't have to tell them anything.
00:19You're right, I don't.
00:20I'm going to be in Queensland, very far away from it all.
00:23They should be helping each other through this, not...
00:25I get that.
00:26But Mac's going to do what she needs to do,
00:27and when she's ready to include Levi, she will.
00:30I just thought by the time she got there,
00:32she would have reached out to me herself.
00:33We're meant to be on the same team.
00:34Now we couldn't be further apart.
00:36Don't listen to your silly mum, Archie, okay?
00:38We're the only family you're ever going to need.
00:40On our side, we're the only family that Archie's got.
00:43So?
00:44So the only grandparents that Archie has are our mum and dad.
00:47Would it be so bad if I tried to track them down?
00:50Because it's been such a long time,
00:52and for all we know, they could have changed.
00:54Did you smack your little head on the pavement today or something?
00:57So why would Dana be so against the idea?
01:00Like I said, it's complicated.
01:11Yeah, okay, thanks for the update. Bye.
01:14Good news?
01:15Yeah, Wendell's been denied bail.
01:17Even though he confessed.
01:19Magistrate deemed him a flight risk.
01:21Okay, well, that'll happen when you run from the scene of the crime
01:23and disappear for two weeks.
01:24Yeah.
01:24I'm so proud of you for finding this guy.
01:26Oh, thanks.
01:27I'm just doing my job.
01:28Mm, it's a bit more than that.
01:29It's not much consolation for Leah and Justin, is it?
01:34Hey, you two.
01:35Hey, mate.
01:35How's the married life?
01:37Oh, a bit stop start, to be honest, mate.
01:39I have been meaning to drop into your place.
01:41How's Mac doing?
01:43Oh, you know.
01:44No, I don't.
01:45That's why I'm asking.
01:46How's the morning sickness going?
01:49She's getting there.
01:51Okay, well, I couldn't wait to tell my husband,
01:54now that he's officially family.
01:55Very excited to be an uncle.
01:56Mm-hmm.
01:57I might drop in later, see how she's doing.
01:59Um, seriously, there's no need.
02:01Uh, I should get this lesson started.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Bye.
02:05See you, mate.
02:06See you.
02:08Mac and Levi won't mind that I told you about the pregnancy.
02:10I don't know, and I don't care.
02:11I just want to get you home.
02:16Hey, Levi, just a quick heads up.
02:19I think your sister is going to drop in.
02:22She wants to see Mac.
02:24Okay.
02:25Thanks for letting me know.
02:26Yeah, I'll see you tonight.
02:32Please tell me that was Mac.
02:35That was your boyfriend, actually.
02:37Apparently, Eden wants to drop by and see how Mac's doing.
02:42Oh.
02:44Well, what can I do?
02:45I can run interference.
02:46No.
02:46I can take a shopping, or we can go get many patties.
02:49Is that really Eden's thing?
02:51I can see if there's a gig on at Yabby Creek, and then we can...
02:53Abby, thank you.
02:55But you can stand down.
02:58I just...
03:00You're going through enough without having to worry about Eden.
03:03So I can tell her if you want.
03:04I said I'd handle it.
03:06So just let me.
03:10So did your parents try and find you after you left?
03:13Dana and I didn't exactly leave on good terms.
03:15Yeah, I figured that.
03:17But you still haven't really told me what happened.
03:21Things just weren't very stable when we were growing up.
03:24It must have been tough.
03:26Sure.
03:26But we turned out okay.
03:31Sorry, I'm still trying to understand.
03:32What makes you think it would be a good idea for them to meet Archie now?
03:37I mean, you think that might have changed?
03:40Well, I don't know, but it's been such a long time, maybe.
03:44Yeah, maybe.
03:45And don't you think that's worth finding out?
03:47I want Archie to have a full family, including grandparents.
03:50Yeah, me too.
03:51And you know, a lot of the time, people can be better grandparents than parents.
04:00And there we go again.
04:06It's my beautiful nephew even having a baby Chino.
04:10Hi.
04:11Hi.
04:13Let's talk about Mum and Dad.
04:15I don't want to argue with you.
04:16No, no.
04:17I want to hear you out properly this time.
04:19I have a class all night, but I'll see you at home.
04:22Yeah, sure.
04:23I'll see you there.
04:25You know, I always think how lucky Archie is to have you two.
04:29Yeah.
04:31Like, it doesn't matter, you're not together.
04:33You give him a really stable life.
04:36Far stabler than ours ever was.
04:39And I find it hard to believe you don't remember what it was like.
04:44Of course I remember.
04:45Well, then can you explain to me why you would want that coming back into our lives?
04:48And enter your child's life?
04:50Because they could have gotten their acts together.
04:53Or they could be the train wrecks we left behind.
04:55I understand.
04:56I'm scared, too.
04:58But if there's even the slightest chance that Archie can have a good relationship with his grandparents,
05:03I need to pursue that.
05:04And you don't think that's naive?
05:06I really don't want to argue with you.
05:07I just, I want you on side.
05:09Okay, well, you're going to need to explain it to me better.
05:11I wish we could live like this for her life.
05:27Me, too.
05:28Marley was definitely being weird, right?
05:38Maybe there's something else going on.
05:41I should go see Mac, you know, check on her and Levi.
05:44Seriously?
05:46That's what you want to do right now?
05:47No.
05:48But I mean, if something's wrong, you know, I'd never forgive myself.
05:52All right, I guess I could go tell Tana that I'm moving out.
05:55I should shower.
05:57Me, too. I'll shower.
05:58Oh, no, babe. Alone.
06:00Otherwise, we will never leave this house.
06:02I vote that we never leave the house.
06:05All right, and everything should be in there, okay?
06:07You have a good class, yeah?
06:09Well, well, well, look who it is.
06:11The missus finally lets you out of bed, eh?
06:13Yeah, shut up.
06:14How was Merit life, my friend?
06:15It's awesome, man. I'm a lucky guy.
06:17Yeah, you are, you are.
06:18So what's up?
06:19Look, obviously, Ian and I are married now, and we want to live together.
06:23Well, yeah, I'd hope so.
06:24Yeah, Remy's going to move out, so it makes sense for us to move in there.
06:27Actually, he paid the rent for the whole year as a wedding present.
06:30Well, that's generous.
06:31Yes, it's very generous.
06:32So I'll just come down here and let you know, and tell you I've loved living with you.
06:36Don't make it weird, okay?
06:37I don't think you two would want to live with me, Harper and a baby.
06:40No. How is Harper?
06:41Yeah, she's fine.
06:43Actually, you've known her for a while, right?
06:44Uh, yeah, yeah. I've known her for longer than I've known you.
06:47Any idea what her appearance would like?
06:50Uh, you should probably ask her about that.
06:53I tried, but she don't want to get into it.
06:55She wants to find them so Arch can have his grandparents, and I just want to make sure
06:59he's going to be safe around these people, you know, but I'm a bit in the dark here.
07:03Right, um, let's grab a drink, eh?
07:05Yeah, yeah.
07:05Yeah.
07:08Your sister asked me 20 questions about Mackenzie.
07:11I didn't know what to say.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:13I'm not a good liar.
07:15Well, not anymore anyway.
07:18Look, older sisters are intimidating.
07:21I should know that.
07:22Well, Levi's going to tell her the bad news so you can stop stressing.
07:27The bubbles are from me and Cash to say thank you so much for everything that you did at
07:31the wedding, and congrats on the baby.
07:33I got the non-alcoholic stuff, so Mack can have some too.
07:35Where is she?
07:38Queensland.
07:38What?
07:41Levi, what's going on?
07:50We lost the baby.
07:53What?
07:55When?
07:57A day before the wedding.
08:00We obviously didn't want to tell you because we didn't want to ruin the big day.
08:05I am so sorry.
08:08Anyway, she's decided she needs some space, so she's gone to stay with her brother.
08:25But are you two all right?
08:31I don't know.
08:35She won't talk to me.
08:38So Harper and I were both in court.
08:50We were both working the same DV case, and we ended up getting talking, and I asked her
08:54why she became a social worker.
08:55And she says it's because she had a rough upbringing.
08:58Well, I get that these people weren't model parents, but what exactly are we talking about
09:02here?
09:03Drugs and alcohol.
09:05How bad was it?
09:07It was bad.
09:08So what?
09:09Eventually the girls left, and that was it?
09:11Yep.
09:13You see, that's what I don't get.
09:14What?
09:14Well, if Harper was so happy to have these people out of her life, why would she want them to
09:18be a part of Archie's?
09:20I know it must sound crazy.
09:21Yeah, it does.
09:22But everyone deserves a second chance, even our parents.
09:26They had a second chance, and a third one, and a 23rd one.
09:31But people can change.
09:32Yeah, as a recovering addict, I am very aware of that.
09:37But our parents never wanted to change.
09:39Not in the entire time.
09:41Not for themselves, and certainly not for us.
09:43It's been years.
09:45What makes you think it would be any different?
09:47In my line of work, I have seen people change.
09:49This is just the bleeding heart social worker thing.
09:52What is the harm in finding out where they are, or how they're doing?
09:57Come on, aren't you even a little bit curious?
09:59I've worked really hard to get here.
10:01So have you. I'm not going to have them ruin my life the minute I get it together.
10:04Okay, well, forget about us for a second, and think of Archie.
10:07You think of Archie.
10:08I am, and I don't want him to miss out on having grandparents, if that's a possibility.
10:12So you would risk putting him through what we barely manage to survive ourselves?
10:16You said yourself, he's got two stable parents.
10:19It would be different for him.
10:21Those people have made our lives hell.
10:24I can't believe you'd want your child anywhere near them.
10:26I'm not asking you to talk to them.
10:32I just need your blessing.
10:37Sorry, but no.
10:41You and Mac have been through so much with the baby.
10:45You should be together right now.
10:48Must be driving you crazy being here.
10:50I mean, why don't you fly up there and, you know, sort it out?
10:52He didn't.
10:54That is all I want to do right now.
10:58I'm worried it might make things worse.
11:03Mac went up there for a reason.
11:06Maybe I should just give her the space she needs.
11:07I get that.
11:08I really do, but I mean, you can't give her space forever.
11:12It's killing you.
11:13I don't know what to do.
11:19I don't know.
11:23If she would just talk to me,
11:26then I'd know where we stand.
11:29I wish you'd told me what was happening for you at the wedding.
11:32No.
11:34Not on the happiest day of your life.
11:36You needed support.
11:37Dad knew, and he told Mum at some point
11:42because she called to see how we were.
11:45Okay.
11:46And Abigail and Marley, they're in the loop now, so...
11:50Well, is there anything I can do?
11:51Maybe I can call her for you.
11:56I don't think that'll help.
11:58Well, what are you going to do?
11:59I mean, you can't just accept it.
12:01Can we just drop it?
12:03I've been dealing with this all week
12:05and I really appreciate you coming around,
12:07but I just don't want to keep going on about it.
12:09Okay.
12:09Okay.
12:12Will you just call me if you need me?
12:16Yeah?
12:17Yeah.
12:19Come here.
12:25Mac is lucky to have you.
12:27She will remember that soon.
12:30Okay.
12:30Why didn't you say something?
12:39I didn't know then either.
12:40He got through that whole ceremony
12:42with all of this going on.
12:44I don't know how he did that.
12:45Yeah.
12:45Hey, it was your big day.
12:46It was supposed to be about you two.
12:49Come on, it was the perfect wedding, wasn't it?
12:52Yeah, it was.
12:53Yeah, it was.
12:55I just...
12:57I can't believe that Mac hasn't contacted him at all.
13:00That's rough.
13:01Yeah, I mean,
13:02why wouldn't you want your partner around for support?
13:04We can't know what she's going through.
13:06All right, the IVF has been hard on both of them,
13:08but especially hers.
13:09Well, maybe she really does just need some space.
13:11Yeah.
13:11Yeah, but I mean, Levi's freaking out.
13:14He sounded like he thought they might be over.
13:16He needs answers.
13:17I've tried calling her a few times,
13:19but she will not answer to anyone
13:20with the last name Fowler.
13:21Okay.
13:23Okay.
13:24Molly, you got a sec?
13:33Uh, no.
13:34Sorry, I've got a lesson.
13:35I know about Mac.
13:38Okay, the miscarriage, Queensland,
13:40all of it, Levi got me.
13:41I'm sorry, I didn't say anything earlier.
13:43It's fine.
13:43I get it.
13:44I get it.
13:44But Levi is struggling,
13:46not knowing where Mac's head's at,
13:47and clearly she's struggling too.
13:50At least she's got her brother.
13:52True, true,
13:53but maybe we should try calling her anyway.
13:55There's only one person
13:56she's answering the phone to right now.
13:58I don't think I should...
13:59I do think.
13:59Come on, it's a phone call.
14:01I don't want to get involved.
14:02Look, Molly,
14:03I just need to find out
14:04when she's going to be home.
14:06I'm sorry, I don't feel comfortable.
14:08My brother is at home
14:09grieving the loss of his child,
14:10not knowing if his relationship is over,
14:12and who knows what state Mac is in,
14:14but it's okay
14:14because you're a little uncomfortable.
14:17Do you really want them both to suffer?
14:19Of course not.
14:20Yeah, don't you want them to be happy?
14:21Yes.
14:22You have the power
14:24to save their relationship, Molly.
14:26Make the call.
14:43Hi, Mac.
14:44How are you?
14:46Great.
14:46Mac, hi.
14:46It's Eden.
14:48Yeah, look,
14:49I know that you wanted space,
14:50but Levi hasn't heard from you at all.
14:54No, Molly wasn't in on this.
14:56Is this her idea?
14:58I should have known better.
15:00Look,
15:01I know that you're upset,
15:02but so is Levi.
15:05I'm just asking you to talk to him.
15:09Okay, well,
15:10can you at least tell me
15:10when you're going to be home?
15:11Well, I mean,
15:13it kind of is my business since I'm here
15:17and I'm seeing what it's doing to my brother,
15:18so...
15:19Don't push him away, okay?
15:23You need Levi now more than ever, okay?
15:30She hung up on me.
15:32Did she give you an idea what her plans are?
15:33No, nothing.
15:35I wonder Levi is confused.
15:38I don't know how many other ways there are to say no.
15:40I said that I would keep you out of it.
15:41Yeah, don't worry you will.
15:42No is my final answer.
15:44Respect that.
15:45Thanks for telling me, God.
15:48You two have been at it a while?
15:49Yeah, someone can't listen to reason.
15:51No.
15:51To be honest,
15:52I've been thinking about your parents
15:53all afternoon myself.
15:54Cash told me some of the history.
15:56What?
15:56Look, I'm just trying to put our son's well-being first, okay?
15:59So am I.
16:00Well, okay,
16:00considering what he just told me,
16:01I don't think I want these people around Archie.
16:04Yeah, thank you both for your support.
16:06Harper, hey.
16:08Just let her go.
16:08I'm so grateful that you and I are on the same page.
16:16Yeah, but it's not like she needs our permission
16:19to look for your parents.
16:20She won't.
16:21She won't go behind my back,
16:22not on this.
16:24She's going to realize that it's a terrible idea,
16:26and when she does,
16:27she's never going to put Archie through it.
16:29Don't worry.
16:38Hey, it's me again.
17:05I just wanted to hear your voice.
17:08I don't know what else to say.
17:15Other than I love you.
17:21Please, Mac, just tell me.
17:24Just tell me you're okay.
17:25How could she shut him out
17:40when they need each other the most?
17:41Well, she's lost a baby.
17:43So if the woman says she needs some space,
17:45Levi might have to accept that,
17:46and so do you.
17:47Wow.
17:48I'm just trying to give you her perspective.
17:50You've been pregnant and ghosted your partner,
17:51have you?
17:52No, I haven't.
17:52But how do you reckon Levi's going to feel
17:54when he finds out that you've reached out to Mac
17:55without his permission?
17:56You think I meant it was?
18:00Hey, Harper.
18:02Hey.
18:02Sorry to interrupt.
18:03No, it's fine.
18:04What's up?
18:05Can I talk to you for a minute?
18:09I actually have somewhere to be.
18:11I'll be back later.
18:14Yeah.
18:20I can't believe you told Tana about my parents.
18:22Yeah, I understand that.
18:23I probably overstepped the mark.
18:24I never thought that you of all people
18:26would betray my trust like that, Cash.
18:27Harper, Tana is worried about Archie.
18:30Okay?
18:30And frankly, I'm worried about Archie.
18:31Are you sure that you want to let these people
18:33back into your life?
18:34I think I have a right to find out
18:35if they've changed.
18:37Okay.
18:38That's fair enough.
18:39Sorry.
18:40I understand why Tana is worried.
18:43And you too.
18:45So, can I ask you a favor?
18:49Yeah, sure thing.
18:51Could you look them up on the police database?
18:53Oh, no.
18:54Come on, really?
18:54Cash, it wouldn't be hard.
18:56No doubt they have a record a mile long.
18:58You know I can't do that.
18:59But I need to know where they are,
19:01like if they're alive,
19:02whether or not they're in prison.
19:03And what's more,
19:04you know what happens to me
19:04if I get caught doing that.
19:06So don't get caught.
19:09Where are their names?
19:10Last known locations, dates of birth.
19:13You need to leave this in the past.
19:17If you even had a small chance
19:18of seeing your parents again,
19:20wouldn't you do everything
19:21that you could to take it?
19:29It's just me.
19:37What are you doing back here?
19:39I'll make it quick.
19:41I stuffed up.
19:43I'm really sorry.
19:44What did you do?
19:46I tried to reach out to Mackenzie.
