00:00I know the feeling, you know, I, uh, sometimes I really miss the house I grew up in, created a lot of good memories in my family.

00:12Um, but then I feel lucky, you know, that I'm here and this is a home and a family as well.

00:19Mm, thanks.

00:21Yeah.

00:23Oh, by the way, uh, I'm never listening to you again.

00:28What did I do?

00:29You told me Dana was dropping hints.

00:30She was.

00:32She wasn't.

00:33She doesn't want to live with me.

00:35No, I made a proper fool of myself and I blame you.

00:37Oh, no.

00:44What is it now?

00:46Marley wants to know how my lessons are going.

00:48And?

00:50Well, I haven't exactly done any.

00:52So you've been too busy?

00:54No.

00:55I just don't think I like surfing.

00:58I just don't think I like surfing.

01:03Hey.

01:05Sorry I kept you waiting.

01:06When I got your message, I figured I should change.

01:10Sit down, Joe.

01:11I need to talk to you.

01:12Right.

01:16This isn't a date, is it?

01:21No.

01:24Let me guess.

01:25Harper.

01:26What did you do?

01:27I offered to help with house hunting.

01:29Okay.

01:30Why?

01:31I'm trying to make her life easier.

01:34I had a tip on a rental and she bit my head off.

01:37Why would you think that was a good idea?

01:40I'm the reason she's losing her house.

01:42The least I can do is help.

01:43All it's doing is making her angry.

01:46Okay.

01:48Sorry.

01:48I was just trying to help.

01:49You need to think about how this looks, okay?

01:52She sees you with me, at the gym, with Archie, and then she finds out you're moving into

01:57her place.

01:59Okay.

02:00Well, what can I do?

02:00There has to be a way to fix it.

02:01There's no fixing for you to do.

02:04Just stay away from it.

02:15I'll just think of this if you speak here.

02:16Do you know what I think, Tane?

02:18I think you and Harper have a lot of unfinished business.

02:21Oh, that is not true.

02:22Are you sure?

02:23You can't expect Joe to wait around for you to decide if you're available.

02:26Now we're both left in the dark because we'll never know what could have been.

02:30Well, don't do anything stupid.

02:32Ah, no promises.

02:33No.

02:34Hey.

02:35I know you said we can't do this anymore.

02:36Bye.

02:51Put an offering on Irene's place.

02:53It's a real home and good to have one of those again.

02:56If she accepts it, we've got six weeks to find a place, get approved, and move.

03:01I'm assuming Irene's accepted.

03:02It looks like I just bought a house.

03:04Hey, congratulations, man.

03:06What went wrong yesterday?

03:08He was mean about mum.

03:10He called her a liar.

03:11He blamed her for not being able to see me all this time.

03:14It might be worthwhile giving Adrian a second chance.

03:16I don't think Colin feels comfortable with that.

03:18One bad conversation doesn't mean we give up.

03:21If we did that every time our kids rejected us, we'd never see them again.

03:25You can't be here.

03:26I just want to talk to my son.

03:27He doesn't want to see you.

03:28He can tell me that himself.

03:29Listen, you can't come in here.

03:30Listen, you can't come in here.

03:31I have a right to see my son.

03:32If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.

03:34Adrian has a right to spend time with his son.

03:36Yeah, he was given that opportunity and he blew it.

03:38If you continue to run interference, I will be forced to report it.

03:41And then the department will find alternative foster placement for Cohen.

03:46Come on, let's move, people.

03:48Good work.

03:49Push yourself.

03:49You're almost there.

03:50Great class, everyone.

03:54Give yourselves a flat.

03:55Pat on the back.

03:56Take some water and we'll see you next time, yeah?

03:58Thanks, Father.

03:59Wonderful.

04:01All right.

04:04Glad you came today.

04:05Oh, my body isn't.

04:07You sure it hates me right now?

04:10I'm in after what happened with Harper.

04:12I don't want you to feel like you need to be careful about which classes you take.

04:15Really?

04:16It was pretty awkward last time.

04:18Point is, you're both welcome here.

04:20Okay.

04:23How can I argue with that face?

04:27G'day.

04:29Hey, Sarge.

04:30You're here to sign up for boot camp?

04:33What are you saying?

04:34I'll get enough action at work.

04:36I'm here to share some news with Jo.

04:39The house?

04:41Our house.

04:42Oh, my gosh.

04:43Offer accepted.

04:44Oh, my gosh.

04:45I'm so happy.

04:46That's great news.

04:47Yeah, yeah.

04:48I'm sorry.

04:50This makes things hard for Archie.

04:51No, look.

04:52You're allowed to be happy.

04:53Just congratulations.

04:55Thanks.

04:56So, you want to celebrate?

04:58Yeah.

04:59I'll see you later.

05:00Yeah.

05:01Yeah, I understand that.

05:06But what happens if I don't agree with the caseworker?

05:10Yeah.

05:11Right, I see.

05:12What they say goes.

05:14I understand.

05:15Hi.

05:19Where's Cohen?

05:20He's with Marilyn.

05:22I wanted to talk to you.

05:24What was that about?

05:26Um, Harper has threatened to move Cohen to another placement.

05:29Why?

05:30Because apparently I need to start supporting Adrian's interests.

05:35Is that something that...

05:35Just a minute.

05:38I've had a yarn to Cohen.

05:40He told me what happened with his dad.

05:42Oh, it's a little early for me.

05:49Oh.

05:50Live a little.

05:52It's not every day you buy a house.

05:55I'll stick with the coffee.

05:56Oh, it's so boring.

06:00You do realise this is only step one.

06:03You're weeks away from settlement and moving in.

06:05I'm already living there in my mind.

06:08The space, the view, the coastal breeze.

06:10I just wish Mum was here to share it with us.

06:14Me too.

06:15Yeah.

06:18Who knows?

06:20Maybe Lacey will pitch in.

06:23You're actually going to ask Lacey to move in?

06:25I am.

06:27Are you sure I already know what her answer's going to be?

06:30I just need to find the right time and place

06:32and wear a bulletproof vest.

06:35You sure I can't interest you in one of our waterproof watches?

06:40It'll go with your smile.

06:42If I'm out swimming, why would I need to keep track of time?

06:45Well, it might help you to know in happy hour's starting.

06:47Lucky for me, I've got a six-cent for one-half price drink, so I already...

06:50Today, the priority is sunbathing.

06:53Dana and I have some catching up to do, actually.

06:55Isn't that right, Dana?

06:56Yes, it is.

06:56But also, I can't lay around all day

06:58because I have to start house hunting sooner or later.

07:00I choose later.

07:01Yeah, of course you do.

07:02Hey, Dana.

07:03Hey.

07:03Hey, I heard about Irene's place.

07:04How are you and Harper holding up?

07:06Oh, yeah, I'd say on a scale of one to ten, probably a minus two.

07:09So, anything I can do?

07:10You can build me a house.

07:12Is there a second option?

07:12No, but also, you've already offered to help,

07:14and thank you for offering your place to Harper and Archie.

07:17Yeah, well, it didn't exactly go down well.

07:20I know, but also, it's a very big idea.

07:22It might take my sister a little while to get used to it.

07:24It was good change.

07:26Yeah, I'll see you around.

07:28Okay.

07:28I mean, you can't actually think that Harper's going to change your mind about it.

07:33No, but also, I think it's nice that he offered.

07:36Nice or crazy?

07:38I mean, I wouldn't want to be sharing a place with my ex.

07:40Yeah, but he cares about her.

07:42I think that's lovely.

07:47Hey.

07:50When are you asking Dana to move in?

07:53Come again?

07:54Oh, my God, you can't be that clueless.

07:55Did you seriously not just notice any of those hints that she was giving you?

07:58Okay, thanks, Maz.

08:02I'll come and have a chat to him.

08:05Yeah, okay.

08:07Bye.

08:09Hey.

08:10What if you're here to see Archie?

08:11He's asleep.

08:12No, actually, I'm here to see you.

08:15I heard Irene's accepted an offer on the house.

08:17Oh, my little sister and her big mouth.

08:19It doesn't matter who told me.

08:21It's just, I want to know what your plan is.

08:23Well, you don't have to worry about my plan.

08:25You don't have a lot of time now.

08:27So, if there's anything you want to talk through...

08:29Yeah, stop.

08:30We've been through this.

08:32Yeah, me finding a place, it's not your business.

08:34We have been through this.

08:36Auntie's home is your home.

08:37So, I want to take care of both of you.

08:40And I want you to trust me when I say I will figure it out.

08:44No one likes to hear their mother's a liar.

08:51Fair enough.

08:52That probably wasn't his smartest move.

08:54No, it wasn't.

08:55I told him very clearly how much Cohen loves his mum.

08:58It was a very inconsiderate thing for him to say.

09:00Oh, come off it, Rue.

09:02The bloke missed years of the boy's life, all because of that woman.

09:05He was just trying to explain where he'd been.

09:07But it doesn't change the fact that Cohen doesn't want to see him.

09:10He said the wrong thing.

09:12That's all he did.

09:13Surely we can agree to give him another shot.

09:16You don't trash talk the mother that's raised his son.

09:19That woman's done nothing but try and keep him away from his son.

09:21That is between Adrian and Samantha.

09:23You don't bring Cohen into it.

09:24What kind of father does that?

09:26A brand new one.

09:27Well, I don't know him and I don't trust him.

09:29The bloke's had about a minute and a half to get used to being a new father.

09:34Don't you think he deserves another go?

09:43Oh, hey.

09:47Hey.

09:48How is he?

09:49Oh, he's barely said a word.

09:51I was hoping he might be able to get something out of here.

09:53Hey, Colin.

10:00Hey.

10:01Maz said you had some questions.

10:05How can I help?

10:08I'm only about to kill my dad.

10:11Okay.

10:12What were you thinking?

10:13Mr. Stewart reckons he didn't mean to upset me.

10:16Mr. Stewart makes a lot of sense.

10:18What would you do?

10:22I would probably give him a second chance.

10:25But it's not my decision to make.

10:27I think that you should take some more time to think about it.

10:31And remember that you don't have to be alone with him.

10:34I can be there with you.

10:36When you're ready, you let me know what you want to do.

10:40Okay?

10:41Yeah.

10:46Morning.

10:47Hey.

10:47What can I get you?

10:49Um, a big coffee, please.

10:51I had a glass of champagne with breakfast, which I'm now regretting.

10:55Are you celebrating something?

10:57Dad's offer was accepted on the beach house.

10:59Oh, congratulations.

11:01That's lovely.

11:02And how nice for Irene to know that you guys are taking over her house and leaving it in safe hands.

11:07Of course that's you.

11:10Hey.

11:11I feel pretty guilty.

11:13I mean, I'm the reason you're about to be homeless.

11:14Um, not that you're going to be homeless, but, you know, house hunting, maybe, you know, not imagined.

11:21But I've learnt some really great tips and tricks.

11:23You know, new listings always come on a Wednesday.

11:26Never act too keen at an inspection.

11:28And I'm happy to share which local agents are total snakes.

11:31Hmm, thank you.

11:32I'm good.

11:33If you ever need a hand, just give me a shout.

11:36Sure.

11:37I'll see you around.

11:38Everything is so expensive.

12:02Landlords are scum.

12:04You're lucky I have to deal with Brie.

12:06Brie can actually be really mean.

12:09How is Brie mean?

12:11She, uh, she hates mess and noise and personality.

12:16And you, Dana, definitely have personality.

12:18Yes, I do.

12:19I wish I could exchange all of that personality for a house.

12:22Ugh.

12:23Ugh.

12:24You are so useless.

12:25I mean, what is the point of having a handsome boyfriend?

12:28You can't solve all my problems.

12:33Hey, Lace.

12:34Um, I just wanted you to know that I bought a house in the area.

12:42Congratulations.

12:46It's a big place.

12:47So there's a bedroom for you.

12:52And Jo?

12:53It's her home too.

12:54Well, then you know what my answer is.

12:56I don't really know why you bothered asking.

12:59I'm always going to bother.

13:05Well, it shouldn't be too hard to find me if you change your mind.

13:08She had this baby photo of me in his wallet.

13:14Oh, did he?

13:15Baby photo of you.

13:16I'd love to see that.

13:17If you kept it all this time, that means Dad probably thought about me, right?

13:21I'm sure I never stopped thinking about you, darling.

13:24How are you two going?

13:25Oh, good.

13:26Good.

13:26Yes, he's a very good helper.

13:28Come on, sit down.

13:29We'll just have a little chat, okay?

13:31There you go.

13:33Listen.

13:35Dad told me what Adrian said to upset you.

13:39Okay?

13:39And I'm really sorry.

13:42But I have been thinking that maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

13:46But you kicked him out.

13:47Yeah, I did.

13:49I was pretty upset.

13:52But I don't want you to miss out on anything.

13:54You know, everyone works so hard to find your family.

13:57Let's not just throw that away.

13:59So you want me to forget what he said?

14:01Well, I don't think he has a right to criticise your mum.

14:05But I think he was probably trying to explain why he hasn't been around.

14:09He didn't want you to think he'd abandoned you.

14:13I guess.

14:15I should give him a second chance, shouldn't I?

14:19Yeah.

14:20I reckon.

14:21Hey.

14:25You got your text.

14:26What's up?

14:27Hey.

14:27Does something have to be up?

14:28I just need you to look after Archie.

14:30Sure, okay.

14:30I've got a rental inspection and the agent's opening it just for me and I'm already late.

14:33But you know you don't have to do this.

14:35Go to inspections.

14:36Yeah, I do.

14:36Yeah, but why go through all the trouble when there's a perfectly good room in my place?

14:40It's a simple solution, Hub.

14:41There is nothing simple about it.

14:43By the way, thanks for the heads up that Joe bought Irene's place.

14:46Yeah, that's what I thought.

14:48Hey.

14:50I hope you're not going to be as stubborn as your mum when you were up with.

14:55No.

14:58Mr. Paul from Harper.

14:59She went to an inspection without me.

15:02Oh, any idea what the place is like?

15:03No, but she's going to link.

15:05Oh, it's super affordable.

15:07Great.

15:07Well, fingers crossed it solves things.

15:10I mean, it's basically a one bedroom.

15:12She's got me in the sunroom.

15:13It's unbelievable.

15:14It's a human oven.

15:16We definitely won't be staying over.

15:17Guess we'll just be at your place 24-7.

15:20Oh.

15:22What?

15:23I was joking.

15:24Yeah, you say that, but you're not really.

15:28Listen, I love you.

15:30And I said that.

15:31And I do.

15:31And I mean it.

15:32But this is just too soon.

15:34What is?

15:35Us.

15:36Living together.

15:37When did that come up?

15:39You've been dropping hints for me to ask you to move in all morning.

15:44Haven't you?

15:45No.

15:47The only person that I want to live with is my sister.

15:50But thank you for clarifying.

15:53I mean, it is wonderful to know that you are allergic to the idea of us living together.

15:57Oh, no.

16:08It's started.

16:10It's just ideas.

16:11How much is this interior designing going to cost me?

16:14You'll be so happy at my perfectly curated space.

16:17You won't even care.

16:18All it needs is a lick of paint.

16:20We'll see.

16:22Remember when you made Lacey and I share a room?

16:24Yeah.

16:25Lacey wanted pink walls and you insisted on Harry Potter wall, babe.

16:30Life was so simple back then.

16:32That was an argument you could solve.

16:33Hmm.

16:35Sorry she doesn't want to come live with us.

16:37Sad, but expected.

16:38Oh, yeah.

16:42Oh, wow.

16:43What is it?

16:44It's a listing.

16:45We just bought a house.

16:47No, it's a rental.

16:48I figured since we're the reason Harper's moving, I should help her find a new place.

16:51That's very kind of you.

16:54Do you mind?

16:55Go for it.

17:01Hey, mate.

17:02How's it going?

17:03Hey.

17:04I'll get back to you on that.

17:06Who's asked to meet me?

17:09I'll leave you to it.

17:13Hi.

17:14Hi.

17:14Thanks for meeting me.

17:18Look, I'm really sorry about how I spoke to you yesterday.

17:21I did show up unannounced.

17:23And I know I stuffed up with Colin yesterday.

17:26I didn't mean to upset him.

17:28Yeah, I know that.

17:30And he knows that.

17:33And he wants to give you another chance.

17:36Really?

17:36Oh, you have no idea how much that means to me.

17:43When you spend time with Colin, please try not to bring your issues into it.

17:50And I know that might be hard, right?

17:52But he deserves to come first, don't you think?

17:56Yeah.

18:00It was an epic fail.

18:01Yeah, well, I could have told you that.

18:03Next time, consult me and I'll save you the script.

18:05Yeah, but it was the best listing by far.

18:07At least the place had a dishwasher.

18:09Oh, you need to write this down.

18:10I want a bedroom, not a sunroom.

18:12It's with the attitude.

18:13It's not an attitude.

18:14I just don't want to sleep in a sunroom.

18:16I'm not a lizard.

18:17Also, Sonny said he didn't want to live with me.

18:20Did you ask to move in?

18:21No, I didn't.

18:23Well, then what?

18:25What?

18:25Yeah, exactly.

18:27Oh, hey.

18:31Hi.

18:31Oh, see you.

18:33Goodbye.

18:33Bye.

18:35Hey.

18:38I know you said you'd let me know if you needed a hand at all, but...

18:42Yet here you are.

18:44Well, I got a hot tip on a really good rental and I wanted to pass it on.

18:48Are you serious?

18:50Yeah.

18:52Do you do this kind of thing a lot?

18:54Stick your nose in where it doesn't belong?

18:57Just...

18:58Tane's been really worried about you and Archie not having somewhere to live.

19:02Tane's been talking to you about me.

19:04No, not like that.

19:06Yeah, okay.

19:06For the last time, I don't need your help.

19:10What I need is for you to get the hell out of my house because you don't own it yet.

19:14You've never played touch-footing, ever.

19:24No, I can't say that I have.

19:25You have no idea what you're missing out on.

19:27Well, I'll have to take your word for that, yeah?

19:30I know I'm new at this.

19:33I want to be better.

19:34I know.

19:35I won't let them down.

19:40Hey, mate.

19:41Hey.

19:42Thanks for agreeing to meet up.

19:45I, um...

19:46I wanted to apologise for what I said about your mum.

19:51I let my feelings get the better of me.

19:56Is it true that she lied to you about being my dad?

20:00I think...

20:03What she said was more about me than it was about you.

20:08Right.

20:10Want to go for a walk?

20:12Sure.

20:25Progress?

20:27It is.

20:30You all right?

20:33What?

20:38Hey, how'd the inspection go?

20:40It was a waste of time.

20:41Listen, maybe there's something else I can do to help Paul.

20:43You want to help?

20:44Tell your girlfriend to back off.

20:46What are you talking about?

20:46Why does Jo think that she has a right to come over to my house?

20:49I don't know anything about that.

20:50You've clearly been talking to her about my situation, how pathetic and homeless I am.

20:54Well, I didn't say that at all.

20:56Do you know what?

20:57I don't care.

20:58Just tell her to stay away from me.

21:00I don't want her in my face.

21:02I don't want her in my home.

21:03And I do not want her in my life.

21:04Oh, do you need a minute?

21:17Oh, it's nothing.

21:20You okay, mate?

21:20Dad bought a new house.

21:24Right.

21:27It just got me thinking about my old house and memories, you know?

21:34You want half a sandwich?

21:35I don't think that's going to help.

21:37I don't think that's going to help.
