00:00What did we have to tell everyone I was pregnant?
00:10We should have known it was too good to be true.
00:12Mac, it's Eden. We need to come back. Levi's been arrested.
00:15I'm sorry that I've been using you as a punching bag, and I'm sorry for freezing you out.
00:19I just got my court date. It's set for next week.
00:22Well, it'll be good to have a day, Brenda.
00:25Listen, I was thinking, I know you have Archie, but maybe I could come to your place.
00:29I can't.
00:30How long is Harper away?
00:31I don't know.
00:32So it's an indefinite freeze.
00:34Live with me.
00:35Okay.
00:36See me charging up after Archie.
00:38I'll tell Eden to expect a guess.
00:40David!
00:41No way.
00:42That's the person I was expecting to run into.
00:44What are you doing here?
00:45I could ask you the same thing.
00:48The girls are not going to believe this.
00:49Eddie.
00:50It's been a long time.
00:53It sure has.
00:59Um, are you sure you don't want me to drive you home with all of this stuff?
01:03Yeah.
01:04I'm happy to walk.
01:06Well, your room's going to look great with all the new decor set up.
01:08Yeah, I know.
01:10It's so strange having my own room again.
01:12Not sure I hit it with someone.
01:15That's a fresh start.
01:16Yes, it is.
01:18Oh, it sucks I have to work.
01:19We could have grabbed a bottle of wine and had a crack at that gallery wall.
01:22I know.
01:23Next time, though?
01:24Definitely.
01:25Well, this was really fun.
01:27And it was really nice to get out of the house while my brother and his girlfriend try and sort through some stuff.
01:31Hmm.
01:31Well, I'm happy to be a distraction any time you need it.
01:34Or when there's a sale on at Yabby Creek.
01:36Exactly.
01:37Catch you later.
01:38See you.
01:41Oh, gosh, I feel bad.
01:42I mean, the court could be hearing the instant report that I wrote as we speak.
01:45But you couldn't lie about Levi assaulting a patient.
01:48I know.
01:48Let's just hope it all works out for you.
01:51Wait, what?
01:51Yet Levi was scheduled to start like two hours ago.
01:54Why didn't anyone tell me?
01:56I wouldn't have gone shopping if I'd known.
01:57Because he didn't want anyone there.
02:00I mean, I wasn't even allowed to go.
02:01I still don't understand that.
02:03How the hell did this all happen?
02:05It's his first offence.
02:06Okay?
02:06No one is going to go to prison for their first offence.
02:09Well, look, I'm more concerned that any kind of conviction could result in the medical
02:14war with suspending his licence.
02:16No.
02:17No.
02:17That's not going to happen.
02:18Okay.
02:21Anyway, you haven't told me what you're doing in Summer Bay.
02:25I came for a meeting with the guys who signed me to their record label.
02:33What?
02:34I didn't even know that was a thing.
02:36What about teaching?
02:37Oh, I'm not giving up my day job just yet.
02:40Wow.
02:41That's amazing.
02:42I'm really happy for you.
02:44It's a new label.
02:45Exciting.
02:46But it might not lead to anything.
02:48Oh, well, just you, eh?
02:49You'll be jetting around the world on tours in no time.
02:52You always were my biggest fan.
02:53I never doubted your talent.
02:54Um, sorry, work.
03:01I've got to take this.
03:02Sure.
03:05Tani, hi.
03:07Hey.
03:07Just dropped off to you off at Cash's.
03:09I didn't hear back from you.
03:10Are we on for tonight?
03:11Right.
03:12Sorry.
03:13No, we're good.
03:14I'll sink in.
03:15We could go to dinner first.
03:16That sounds lovely, but something's come up.
03:18Oh, what?
03:19You can't make it?
03:20No, I got called into work.
03:22Eddie?
03:27What?
03:28What are you doing here?
03:29Do I get a hug?
03:30Yeah.
03:32Is everything okay, then?
03:34Yeah, nothing.
03:35Just Lacey being Lacey.
03:38Look, I'm really sorry for bailing on our date.
03:40Ah, well, can't be helped.
03:42Just bad timing, I guess.
03:44Yeah.
03:45Well, we'll sort something out for another day, then.
03:48Yeah, let's do that.
03:49Bye.
03:50All right, see ya.
03:52No way.
03:55I cannot believe that you signed with Fremie's record label.
03:58Why?
03:58Is my music that bad?
03:59No.
04:00No, I'm mates with those guys.
04:02I used to live with Sonny.
04:05Your dad said you two were good again.
04:07I almost didn't believe him.
04:09Oh, right.
04:10The last time you saw us...
04:12We were at each other's throats.
04:13I'm the one who messed up.
04:15No, don't be silly.
04:17Well, if you've signed with the label,
04:18is that when you're going to be hanging around the bay?
04:20I'm hoping so, yeah.
04:22Okay, all right.
04:24Well, I'm going to go dump these in my room,
04:25but don't go anywhere.
04:26I've got a million questions to ask you.
04:27Well, actually, I was going to see if you wanted to go for a walk.
04:31Do you want to see the sights of Summer Bay?
04:33There's an offer I can't refuse.
04:35Okay, great.
04:36Let's go.
04:37All right.
04:38Will I see you around?
04:39Hopefully.
04:40Have fun, guys.
04:49Hi.
04:53So?
04:55The magistrate gave me a 12-month good behaviour bond.
05:00That's better than it could have been, right?
05:02Sounds like a positive outcome.
05:03I guess.
05:04Okay.
05:06Well, I need to celebrate.
05:08Can we just take it down a notch?
05:09I really don't see what there is to celebrate.
05:11How can you say that?
05:12Yeah, shouldn't you be kind of relieved?
05:14Can I just get a coffee, please?
05:15Oh.
05:22Things went from bad to worse.
05:25Lacey couldn't handle it.
05:28She just disappeared.
05:30Your dad didn't track her down?
05:31Um, believe me, he tried.
05:34He had no idea where she was or what she was doing.
05:39Until he got transferred here.
05:40It was a total coincidence.
05:42Your fate, even?
05:45Got you very romantic.
05:48I kind of want to make you uncomfortable.
05:51Which is usually what someone says before they make you uncomfortable.
05:56It's fine.
05:57Go for it.
05:58It's just...
05:58After all the pain I watched you go through, seeing you this much lighter is amazing.
06:08Finding out the accident wasn't my fault, really.
06:11I've liked a switch in my brain.
06:14Your dad said the panic attacks have stopped?
06:16Yeah.
06:18That's good.
06:18You deserve to move on.
06:19I am.
06:22It's just hard.
06:23I miss mum every day.
06:25I bet.
06:26I miss her too.
06:33Have you thought about me much since you broke things off?
06:37Are we really having this conversation?
06:39No.
06:41But if we were.
06:42What about you?
06:48Do you think about me?
06:50Rarely.
06:52It's not like you were the love of my life or anything.
06:54It's not like you were the love of my life or anything.
06:54It's not like you were the love of my life or anything.
07:20Feeling better?
07:22You don't have to worry about me, you know.
07:23Oh, but I do, because I know you still have hoops to jump through with the medical board.
07:30Is that what you're nervous about?
07:32I'm not looking forward to it.
07:35Well, look, if the magistrate only gave you a sup on the wrist, I'm sure that the medical board will too.
07:39It's the least of my worries, Mac.
07:41Okay, so then what am I missing here? Did something happen at court?
07:44It was hell.
07:46Listening to my colleagues read out statement after statement after...
07:51Babe, it's not like they had a choice.
07:52That doesn't make it any less humiliating.
07:55Okay.
07:56So, losing the respect of your colleagues, that's what you're worried about?
08:00Can you stop making it sound like nothing?
08:04Assaulting a patient is something I can never come back from professionally.
08:07Okay, but your colleagues aren't going to hold it against you. You know why?
08:10Because that guy was a complete jerk.
08:13You didn't hear what they said.
08:16Okay.
08:21Is there anything I can do?
08:22I think I should just face the music and...
08:27and form the board.
08:29Okay.
08:31I'll give you some space.
08:32Toast the day and count the winds and taste the soul upon my skin.
08:49Lacey, hey, hey, um, I need to ask you something.
08:54Uh, sure.
08:56Look, I know you know about me and, uh, well, you know.
08:59Would it be easier if I pretended I didn't?
09:02Yeah, I saw Joe earlier with some guy.
09:04You know who he is?
09:06I'm going to stay out of this one.
09:07Well, stay out of what?
09:09I think you should probably chat to my sister.
09:12Well, she cancelled on me because she said she got called into work and then I see her with this guy.
09:17What is he, family or something?
09:19No, no, no, no.
09:20He's not.
09:20He's, um, Joe's ex.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Oh, right.
09:25Uh, what is she?
09:27Did she invite him to town?
09:28No, no, no.
09:29Eddie's in the bay by chance.
09:30They just haven't seen each other in a long time.
09:32Oh.
09:33Oh, yeah.
09:34I mean, you know, she doesn't need my permission to catch up with an old friend, right?
09:37Yeah.
09:38Look, I'm pretty sure Dad was the one who ran into him and invited him over.
09:42Maybe Joe was just being polite.
09:44But, like I said, speak to her.
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:52So tell me more about this music thing.
09:55How'd you get discovered?
09:56Pure luck.
09:57It was a last minute gig.
09:59It wasn't even on the poster.
10:01Remy and Sonny approached me afterwards.
10:04I thought they were pranking me at first.
10:06I didn't even know those guys had a record label.
10:09Their recording studio isn't quite ready, but Remy's already talking about laying down some tracks.
10:15Wow.
10:16It's all happening for you, isn't it?
10:19Part of that's down to you, you know.
10:22How?
10:23You always believed in me.
10:24Even when I was playing to crowds of four on open mic nights.
10:28Well, I said it then and I'll say it again now.
10:31Four more fans in the making.
10:33I miss those days.
10:34I miss you.
10:40Oh, Eddie.
10:42You're still here.
10:43Is that your way of saying I've overstayed my welcome?
10:45No, I just thought that Joe had plans tonight.
10:48That's all.
10:50Well, it is getting kind of late, actually.
10:52I was about to say the same.
10:56Will you be back in the bay soon?
10:58I'll let you know.
11:02Seeing you Langhams again, it's pretty special.
11:05Oh, well, we are two of a kind, aren't we?
11:08Well, good night.
11:10Good night, Eddie.
11:12Night, Eddie.
11:19What on earth just happened?
11:21You tell me.
11:22Did I just interrupt something?
11:23No.
11:25Not exactly.
11:28So Tani saw you two together.
11:30He wanted to know who Eddie was.
11:33And?
11:35Well, good night, him.
11:37Seriously?
11:38Now you have a moral stance on mine?
11:40Whoa.
11:41Joe, if you wanted to keep Eddie under the wraps,
11:43maybe parading around the bay isn't the best move.
11:45Great, now you have to deal with that, too.
11:46Thanks.
11:47Well, it's not like you have anything to hide, is it?
11:50Of course not.
11:52I don't.
11:55Fine.
11:58So, when do you think you'll hear back from the medical board?
12:00How long's a piece of string?
12:01Look, I know you still have mountains to climb,
12:04but can we please just enjoy the fact that you came home?
12:07You're right.
12:08Could have been way worse.
12:10After everything we've been through,
12:11I think it's really important for us to find some hope again.
12:15What's your point?
12:17Well, we've got some big decisions to make,
12:19and now we can start making them.
12:21Decisions?
12:21Yeah, well, we've still got three frozen embryos
12:24that are waiting to be implanted.
12:26You know, if you want.
12:28Are you serious?
12:30Yeah, why not?
12:30I mean, there's nothing stopping us from going back to IVF now.
12:33Mackenzie,
12:34please, I do not want to talk about this right now.
12:38Hey.
13:01Hey.
13:02Hey.
13:02I know showing up here is against the rules,
13:07but I, uh,
13:08I didn't want to do this over text.
13:13So I'm guessing you spoke to Lacey.
13:15I should have been more upfront with you
13:17about why I cancelled yesterday.
13:19Well,
13:20it's not like you planned on your ex rocking up, right?
13:23No, it was a total shock.
13:25Yeah, that's what I figured.
13:27So how'd it go in the end?
13:28It's nice.
13:31It's weird.
13:32It's just a lot to catch up on.
13:34Fair enough.
13:37So do you want to plan another date once Harper's back?
13:43You okay?
13:44What's wrong?
13:47I can't.
13:49I feel like I'm messing you around.
13:51What do you mean?
13:53I have to be honest.
13:54Seeing Eddie again brought up a lot.
13:59So,
14:00where does it leave us?
14:09I just don't understand
14:12why it is so hard to get on the same page.
14:15Is this just about his court case?
14:17Well,
14:18he's worried about his colleagues
14:19seeing him differently now.
14:22Do you see him differently?
14:24Yeah,
14:25a bit.
14:25But I mean,
14:26he's still an amazing doctor
14:27and a really good friend.
14:29Are you guys talking about Levi?
14:30Yeah.
14:32Things did seem pence
14:33when you guys got home last night.
14:34Yeah.
14:35He got weird
14:35when I mentioned
14:36we should try IVF again.
14:38You suggested IVF?
14:41Yeah.
14:42I mean,
14:42I was trying to make him feel optimistic.
14:47What's with the look?
14:48No.
14:49No look.
14:49It wasn't a look.
14:53It's a look.
14:54And it's so confusing.
14:55It's a look.
15:19It's a look.
15:19It's a look.
15:20It's a look.
15:20It's a look.
15:20It's a look.
15:21It's a look.
15:21It's a look.
15:22It's a look.
15:22It's a look.
15:23It's a look.
15:23It's a look.
15:24It's a look.
15:24It's a look.
15:24It's a look.
15:24It's a look.
15:25It's a look.
15:25It's a look.
15:26It's a look.
15:26It's a look.
15:27It's a look.
15:27It's a look.
15:28It's a look.
15:28It's a look.
15:29It's a look.
15:29It's a look.
15:30It's a look.
15:30It's a look.
15:31It's a look.
15:31It's a look.
15:32It's a look.
15:32It's a look.
