00:00I miss him.
00:11I miss him too.
00:13I know that today is a pretty hard day.
00:15I was kind of hoping we could maybe help each other.
00:18As if I would want to spend Theo's birthday with the reason that he's dead.
00:22Leah's really starting to cross some lines here.
00:25I'm going to have to talk to her myself.
00:26I heard about Levi.
00:27How you doing?
00:28And it's not like you guys need any more stress right now.
00:31You don't know.
00:34I lost the baby.
00:37You're the one who said you would tell everyone so this exact thing would not happen to me.
00:41You're right.
00:41I did say that.
00:42Yes, you did.
00:42I did say that, but I was trying to figure out if I still had a relationship or not.
00:45Oh, great.
00:46Again.
00:46Okay, so it's my fault again, is it?
00:48No, it's not.
00:48That's not what I'm saying.
00:49I lost a baby, Levi.
00:51So did I.
00:51No.
00:52No, you didn't.
00:53No, you didn't.
00:53It's not the same thing.
00:54If the point of all this was to push me away, then well done.
00:57It worked.
00:59Where are you going?
01:00Away from you.
01:02Hey.
01:03What is it?
01:03I just don't know what I'm doing.
01:05You know.
01:06Do you know if Marilyn's feeling any better?
01:13She's having a bit of a breather at home, so I thought I'd take the chance to come and
01:17see how you were travelling today.
01:19Thanks.
01:20Sorry, baby.
01:21One emergency repair after another.
01:23Oh, that's all right.
01:24Sounds like you've had a busy one.
01:26How are you doing?
01:28Just putting one foot in front of the other.
01:30No.
01:36Today's Theo's birthday.
01:38Oh, Struth.
01:40Then I asked her to cover at the diner.
01:42I made a big song and dance about how Marilyn needed the rest.
01:46Yeah, she mentioned that.
01:47Don't worry about it.
01:47She wants to work.
01:50You have to keep yourself busy.
01:52You reckon that's what's best for her commitment?
01:54My counsellor says you've got to let people grieve in their own way, so that's what I'm trying
02:01to do.
02:05I know it hasn't felt like a day of celebration, but it's been nice spending it with you, darling.
02:10It was.
02:12You're not going out, are you?
02:13I'm not going anywhere.
02:15It's a shame Joe had to go to work, but tonight is all about you and me, kiddo.
02:20Should we do couch, popcorn and a movie?
02:24I'm in.
02:25Fun movie though, because I kind of want to forget about what day it is.
02:29Sounds good to me.
02:30Definitely keen on tuning out certain parts of my day.
02:38Thanks, Dad.
02:39What for?
02:43Being there for me.
02:45Mum would be shocked at how well of a job you were doing in taking care of us.
02:50You're going to get through this.
02:53I'll wash you dry.
03:00So, what is sitting here achieving?
03:03I'm just having a beer, Abby.
03:04Can you leave me alone?
03:06I'm staying out of any sibling stuff.
03:09Look, you were the one that left this time, so you need to be the one to go back and fix
03:13it.
03:13Can you stop trying to convince me to go home?
03:16What do you think is going to happen?
03:17She's not going to high-five me when I walk through the door.
03:19She hates me.
03:20She doesn't hate you.
03:21You just need to go in there calmly, okay?
03:24Try not to take things personally and remember that you're on the same team, even though it
03:28might not feel like that right now.
03:29Then we can even stay away from home and give you guys some space.
03:33Mm-hmm.
03:35Fine.
03:36Good luck.
03:42Well, looks like I'm stuck here with you until you shift ends.
03:47Hmm.
03:48Dinner's on Mac.
03:49Just don't tell her that.
03:50There you go.
03:58Thanks.
04:02I hate who I've become.
04:05You haven't become anything.
04:07You are going through a really difficult time.
04:10It just won't stop, darn it.
04:14Everywhere I look, it's just a reminder how I can't get or stay pregnant.
04:17You know, I convinced myself that it was a good idea to spend some time with family.
04:24But every time I picked up Daniela, I had to hold my breasts so I wouldn't break down.
04:31Cool auntie, huh?
04:32Hey.
04:33Hey, it's only natural, okay?
04:35No, is it?
04:37I resented my own brother.
04:41I'm horrible.
04:42Have you told Levi about any of this?
04:47No, I can't.
04:49Well, I think you'd understand better than anyone right now.
04:53I know, I mean, we did promise we'd go through this together, but I just, I can't handle the
04:58I told you so's right now.
05:00Because he thought you shouldn't go away?
05:04But he was right.
05:05He was right.
05:06Well, I'm sure if you told him what you just told me, that he'd understand it.
05:13Just, just let him know what you need.
05:15Do you know what I need?
05:18I just, I really need someone just to listen to me without pity or judgment.
05:25Can you do that for me?
05:28Of course.
05:29Yeah.
05:31Okay.
05:31Mac?
05:52I'm mine and fake it
05:55And real
05:58You're all that I need
06:03Hey, it's me
06:06I'm sorry about what I said before
06:09Can you please let me know when you'll be home?
06:12You're all that I need
06:16Is that Levi again?
06:25Uh-huh.
06:29Don't judge me.
06:30I'm not. I'm just wondering if avoiding him is really what you want to do.
06:34Yes. It is. It is.
06:39Hey, um, is Archie going to be home tonight?
06:41He's with Harper and Dana. You don't have to worry about him, okay?
06:44Aw.
06:46What, did I say something wrong?
06:48No, you didn't say anything wrong. I just...
06:51I hate that I've become the person that needs to be warned
06:54whether your beautiful son will be around or not.
06:58Anyway, can I crash for you tonight?
07:02I think Levi would be worried if you don't go home.
07:05Please, darling. I really, I really need a breather.
07:08Well, yeah, of course.
07:10Yeah?
07:10Yeah. I'll make up cash as I'll bring for you, okay?
07:13Thanks.
07:13No.
07:33Hey.
07:35It's Mack here.
07:36She hasn't come in yet.
07:37We heard from her.
07:39No.
07:40What's going on?
07:40Yeah, how did you talk last night, though?
07:42It didn't.
07:43She wasn't there when I came home and I left her a message.
07:46She hasn't responded.
07:48So she hasn't been home the whole night.
07:50I'll try her now.
07:51Don't get involved.
07:52Levi, she's missing.
07:53She's not missing.
07:54She's probably just checked into a hotel somewhere to get away from me.
07:58She's been away from you for two weeks.
07:59Hey, I told you, I'm enemy number one at the moment.
08:02Everyone else piling on, including yourself, isn't going to help.
08:04So please don't.
08:07Okay, so what are you going to do?
08:08I don't know.
08:08I'll wait for you.
08:09She's got to turn up sooner or later.
08:13Ah, more than that.
08:15More than that.
08:16So, how'd you sleep?
08:22What sleep?
08:24Cash's mattress that bad, eh?
08:27Mm-mm.
08:28I laid awake all night thinking about the mess that is my life.
08:33Well, it's still more peaceful than having a baby wake you up every hour.
08:37I'm so sorry.
08:38I'm sorry.
08:39Don't do that.
08:40It's fine.
08:41It's fine.
08:41So, what's the plan with Levi?
08:45You can't avoid him forever.
08:47I don't want to.
08:49You know, he doesn't strike me as a type to do, I told you, Sos.
08:55It was the first time for everything.
08:57And he'd be well within his right, I mean.
09:01I've really heard him, tell me.
09:04Well, everything you told me last night, that makes sense.
09:07I mean, just tell him that.
09:10Well, that's him now, is it?
09:11Well, at least tell him you're okay, and that you're going to be home tonight.
09:17You know what, thank you for the hospitality.
09:19Okay.
09:19I need to get to work.
09:20Can I have a shower?
09:22Yeah, sure.
09:23The towels are in the cupboard there.
09:24Yeah, thanks.
09:34Hey.
09:34Hey.
09:37Sure you're okay?
09:38With what?
09:39Being back at work.
09:41I know yesterday was a tough one.
09:43I don't know.
09:44I got through it.
09:45And Marilyn needs the rest, and I need to keep busy.
09:50Maybe when it's quiet later, we could go for a walk up the lighthouse.
09:54Did you not hear what I said about being busy at work?
09:57I just thought it might be nice.
09:59Something different, that's all.
10:00A walk isn't what I need.
10:02Well, it is.
10:03I just told you, working.
10:05We both have different ways of coping, and that is okay.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Your next therapy session this afternoon?
10:11Yeah.
10:13Might go for that walk beforehand.
10:15Man, what's that?
10:18A humble Miss Miller has been coined a hero in helping bring Councillor Wendell to justice.
10:38A hero?
10:38By who?
10:39In separate incidents that claimed the lives of Christina Langham and Theo Paulos, Mr. Wendell is pleading guilty to all charges.
10:50One, that's the number of times that Theo has been mentioned in the entire article.
10:55I am so sorry.
10:56No, Lacey should be apologising.
10:58I can't believe she gave an interview.
11:00Well, did she?
11:01It's not like there's any direct quotes from her.
11:03Of course she did.
11:04What journalist would look at everything that's happened and call her a hero?
11:07Yeah, but that guy just came waltzing into our house.
11:10I don't think he's big on digging for facts.
11:11She set this up to make herself look good.
11:14I don't know.
11:16This journalist could have written whatever he wanted.
11:17I'm going to go and talk to Lacey.
11:18Whoa.
11:19No, no, no, no.
11:19I think it's best to leave it.
11:21Stop.
11:22Stop.
11:24How is that honouring Theo?
11:26It's not honouring Theo.
11:27Okay, but starting a war with Lacey is not going to help anyone either, especially you.
11:32You know that.
11:33Kate.
11:35Kate.
11:36Kate.
11:36Maybe you're right.
11:37I'll leave it.
11:39Isn't your therapy session soon?
11:41Ah, yeah.
11:43I'm going to go, but when I get back, then we can talk about going for that war.
11:48Yeah, okay.
11:50Right.
11:56Hey, I'm so sorry I didn't make it in yesterday.
11:59Cash mentioned you had a tough day.
12:01Ah.
12:02Are you okay now?
12:04Yeah.
12:05Yeah, I'm good.
12:05Great.
12:06Because I have a ton of work for you to catch up on.
12:09Oh, thank you so much.
12:11Yeah, these stock orders need following up on, and there's a lot of them.
12:15Great.
12:16Have you seen this?
12:28Did you change your mind about speaking to that, Jan?
12:29No, no, no, of course not.
12:32Well, it seems to paint you in a pretty good life.
12:34Private word.
12:35If this is about the article, I had no idea that it was being published.
12:37Then why'd you give the interview?
12:38I didn't.
12:39I told the journalist that I wasn't interested, Leah.
12:41Well, do you think that I'm stupid?
12:42You obviously said enough to fill an entire front page.
12:45How dare you paint yourself out to be a hero?
12:47Leah, I swear, I told the reporter to go away.
12:49I don't know what this is.
12:51She did.
12:52I was there.
12:52Well, it wasn't enough, was it?
12:54Because this is out there.
12:55Happy birthday, Theo.
12:56Okay, okay.
12:57You're not a hero.
12:57Okay, that's enough.
12:58You're the reason why Theo died.
13:00Leah, that's enough.
13:01Have you seen what your daughter did?
13:03That article has nothing to do with Lacey.
13:05Theo's death did.
13:06You need to step away.
13:07You should be ashamed of yourself.
13:09Oi!
13:10He's right, love.
13:12You need to walk away.
13:13You got cold.
13:22You got cold.
13:25Have you heard from Mac yet?
13:35Huh?
13:35No, nothing.
13:37Then what's...
13:38I just got my court date.
13:40It's set for next week.
13:42Well, it'll be good to have it over in the house.
13:49Is that what we're doing now?
13:51You're just going to ignore me for the rest of your life?
13:52I don't know, maybe we can discuss it at home
13:54if you still live there.
13:55Of course I do.
13:55Do you?
13:59I'm sorry that I walked out.
14:01I think we're both saying and doing things that we don't really mean.
14:06Where were you last night?
14:07I really missed you.
14:08I stayed at Tarnes.
14:10You stayed at Tarnes?
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:12I feel like we should be talking to each other, not other people.
14:14Yeah, look, I understand that, but I have to work.
14:16Hey, I got my court date, in case you're interested.
14:21How do you feel about that?
14:23They can take my medical license for all I do.
14:24You don't mean that, Levi.
14:25You are the center of my world.
14:29Work, babies, none of it matters without you.
14:34You're what I care about.
14:36I have been fighting for this relationship,
14:39and I can't say the same about you.
14:41So maybe I should give up too.
14:42Levi, wait.
14:55Hang on, that looked intense.
14:57You sure it didn't look kind of pointless?
14:59Well, what did you guys say to each other?
15:00Sounds like Mac's been doing enough talking, just not with me.
15:03You'd better go upstairs.
15:04Don't let it cause any issues with your boss.
15:09I'll go checking on them, yeah?
15:10All right.
15:12Hey, Levi.
15:17I suppose I should be thanking you for Mac's accommodation last night.
15:21Look, I tried to get her to come home to talk to you,
15:23to tell you that...
15:25Tell me what?
15:28Well, how horrible she feels at the moment.
15:31She hates what she's doing to the two.
15:33Yeah, sure she does.
15:38What Leah said was uncalled for.
15:40Well, I probably would have done the same thing.
15:41Okay, that article's a complete lie, and I'm not a hero.
15:44That doesn't give her the right to have a go at you at work,
15:47or anywhere else for that matter.
15:48And it's not the first time.
15:51Now, I know she's going through hell,
15:53but I am worried that things are escalating.
15:56Well, there's nothing that we can do about it.
15:58Yes, there is.
16:00You can take out an AVO.
16:02What?
16:03You have the grounds to.
16:04Dad, that would make Leah hate me so much more.
16:07You're being way too much of a cop right now.
16:09Your safety is my priority.
16:10I really wish you could see this.
16:11No, no, no, no, Dad.
16:11I get that you want to help.
16:13I get it.
16:13But this is not the way to do it.
16:15So thank you, but no.
16:16No, no, no, don't do this.
16:32This is your house.
16:33You clearly don't want me here, so...
16:34Where are you going to go?
16:36I'll figure it out.
16:37No, Levi.
16:38Levi, I do want you around.
16:40Okay, can you stop?
16:41Stop, stop that.
16:41Stop.
16:44I'm sorry.
16:46I'm sorry I didn't come home last night, okay?
16:48I do want to be here with you now.
16:51And I'm sorry that I've been using you as a punching bag.
16:54I know.
16:55I know I'm doing that.
16:56And I'm sorry for freezing you out.
16:59Okay, because you were right.
17:01You were so right.
17:02The trip was a mistake.
17:05I wish I could say it was so great to see Dean and Ziggy and get to know my niece,
17:11but the truth is...
17:13It was awful.
17:16I think I'm broken.
17:22I think I'm broken.
17:29Do not.
17:30What?
17:31Do not.
17:35Listen to me.
17:36Yeah.
17:37You are not broken.
17:39But we have to do this together, okay?
17:41Because I mean what I said.
17:42You are the center of my world.
17:47And you are the center of mine.
17:50I'm sorry.
17:50Levi?
18:02Yeah.
18:03Asking us to give them some space at home.
18:06And then a smiley face emoji.
18:09Seems like a good sign.
18:10Well, that's great.
18:13And I'm more than happy to give them space while they make up.
18:16Hmm.
18:19Why don't we get away for a night or two camping?
18:23Wait, are you offering to take the camping?
18:25You've never done that before.
18:27Because you don't know how?
18:29Nope.
18:29Absolutely no idea.
18:31But I'm very excited.
18:33Hey.
18:34I'm down to Donna.
18:35You don't seem to be.
18:37Call me back.
18:40Hey, mate.
18:41Hey.
18:42Leah not here?
18:44Uh, no.
18:45I only just got back from my appointment.
18:46So she must be down the coffee cup.
18:48Hmm.
18:48Why do you want to see her?
18:50Well, she, um...
18:52She went and spoke to young Lacey about an article in the local paper today.
18:57Yeah.
18:57This one.
19:02Strength.
19:02What do you mean spoke to her?
19:05Well, she, um...
19:06She gave her a bit of a serve.
19:07Ah.
19:09She said she wasn't going to do that.
19:11I shouldn't have left her alone.
19:13Mate, she's struggling.
19:15Don't blame yourself here.
19:16Blame yourself for what?
19:18Me?
19:18Well, no.
19:19No, not at all.
19:20We're just worried about you, love.
19:22You told him.
19:23Of course I did.
19:24You said you wouldn't go and speak to Lacey.
19:25I changed my mind.
19:26Well, it sounds like you've gone really hard on her.
19:28So you're getting people together to gang up on me.
19:30Is that what you're doing?
19:31Leah, what you said to that young girl wasn't fair.
19:34Stay out of it.
19:35It's none of your business.
19:36Why were you talking to Alf about me?
20:04Because we're worried.
20:06We don't know for certain that Lacey gave an interview.
20:10She did, Justin.
20:13I can't believe that I'm alone in all this.
20:15If you are not alone, you never will be.
20:17Then why am I the only one standing up for Theo?
20:23Where are you going?
20:27Home.
20:28Just don't follow me.
20:29Hey, mate.
20:38Thanks for meeting me.
20:40Appreciate you reaching out.
20:42I'm sorry about Leah before.
20:45She shouldn't have got stuck into Lacey like that.
20:47No, she shouldn't have.
20:50What about you?
20:51Are you doing okay?
20:55No, mate.
20:56I'm really not.
21:01I just don't know what to do here.
