00:00Questions about what happened on that day.

00:03No more guilt.

00:04No more confusion.

00:05I'm really worried about Lacey.

00:07Me too.

00:09She's going to need us both for a very long time.

00:11How are you holding up?

00:12Now I can take absolute certainty that I didn't do it.

00:16I didn't cause Mom's death.

00:17You don't think I'm terrible for feeling that way?

00:19No, I don't think you're terrible at all.

00:21If you need me at all, call anytime.

00:24Thanks.

00:25Well.

00:26Oi, starting a record label.

00:28I want you to be the manager.

00:29I was just showing Justin photos of the place I bought.

00:32Yeah, what do you think?

00:33It'll be better once the fit-out's completed.

00:35Yeah, and once the tech guys arrive with the sound gear from Germany, right?

00:38Fellas, fellas, this all, it sounds amazing, but I've got to pull you up there.

00:41I can't do it.

00:42I don't have the capacity for it, especially with everything that's going on.

00:46It has got to be my priority.

00:47This all just feels so wrong.

00:49What do you mean? Why?

00:51Justin's already bailed.

00:52To be honest, mate, my heart just isn't in it anymore either.

00:59Hi, Dana.

01:18No, how'd you know it was me?

01:21Because you stomp like a baby elf.

01:23I was going for stealthy.

01:26How are you?

01:27Not bad.

01:28How was your shift?

01:30Long.

01:31I was actually already in the middle of it when you text me about Theo's memorial.

01:35Otherwise, obviously, I would have gone.

01:36It's all right.

01:36I didn't expect you to drop everything.

01:38How was it?

01:39Yeah, it was really amazing hearing all the stories about him I hadn't heard.

01:43But, uh, yeah, it was pretty heavy.

01:46Of course.

01:48Well, the memorial was just a start.

01:52Remy and Justin have pulled the pin on the record label.

01:56I get why Justin would want to prioritise him and Lear at the moment.

02:00Yeah, I mean, I get it too, but it's no reason for Remy to give up on the label.

02:05But his heart's not in it anymore, babe.

02:07Yeah, I don't know, but, I mean, he spent so much time and money on it.

02:10He bought a studio.

02:11He's been dreaming big.

02:13Oh, jeez, I kind of thought he was just doing it to get over Brie.

02:16It was that too, but, you know, all the more reason to continue.

02:20So what are you going to do?

02:24What's up?

02:27It's from Lacey.

02:29She moved out.

02:31Oh, wow.

02:32I mean, I knew she was living with her family, but I didn't know it was permanent.

02:35They're going to miss her.

02:37I get it, though.

02:38Yeah, me too.

02:40Just being with her family is what she needs right now.

02:43I should text Brie.

02:44I should let her know.

02:48Well, I guess we've got a spare room now.

02:49She's a fire that never ends.

02:58She was not fooling around.

03:00I've been many miles away.

03:05Hey.

03:06Hey.

03:07How's your walk?

03:08It was good.

03:09I reckon he's due for a feed, though.

03:10Oh, are you hungry, my little guy?

03:13So, Jerry wants to meet up again.

03:16I think someone might have a crush.

03:18So, Jess, there's a lot going on at the moment, that's all.

03:20Well, I'm more than happy to spend time with this little guy.

03:23Yeah, bubba.

03:26Hi, Joe.

03:26Nice to see you.

03:27Hey.

03:29Sorry, I didn't realise you guys had plans today.

03:31Wow.

03:32No, no.

03:33It's nappies and laundry for me, so enjoy your ketchup.

03:36See you.

03:37See you, boy.

03:37Thanks.

03:37You okay?

03:42Yeah, I'm fine.

03:45Actually, I'm not fine.

03:46I don't know why I said that.

03:48Come on.

03:50Break is on me.

04:01Thanks, mate.

04:02Hey, mate.

04:07How you doing, Mum?

04:09Ah, yeah, maybe better.

04:11Yeah.

04:11Sorry to hear about Theo, man.

04:12I know you guys were close.

04:14Yeah.

04:14Yeah, we were.

04:15How's Lacey?

04:17Um, yeah, she's not great, but she has my dad taking care of her, so...

04:21That's good.

04:23Ah, I'll leave you guys to it.

04:24Good to see you.

04:25Yeah, take care, mate.

04:26See you.

04:28Table or booth?

04:29Ah, booth.

04:29What?

04:35So, any news?

04:37What's happening with this guy?

04:38He said he's got a face call today.

04:40Yeah, but because he already confessed, Dad said it's like a full mouth lady.

04:44Oh.

04:45Do you know when this end of the thing will be?

04:46No, not yet.

04:48So, he must be relieved.

04:51Yes and no.

04:55Do you wish you could switch your own brain off for a few hours?

04:57I think everybody does.

05:01And how does that work in practice, though?

05:04Well, I couldn't bore you with a lecture on calf muscles and how the soleus works if it will help you zone out.

05:10You know, that actually sounds strangely appealing.

05:14All right.

05:15Well, how about I get us some coffees and we can just talk about absolutely nothing important?

05:18Well, perfect, thank you.

05:20Yeah.

05:32Yes.

05:33Just because we're not roomies anymore, that doesn't change anything.

05:37All right?

05:37We're still friends.

05:40Good.

05:41Okay.

05:42Just take care of yourself.

05:44All right.

05:44Talk to you soon.

05:45Bye.

05:45You little mind reader.

05:48No idea how much I wanted a coffee.

05:50No, I did.

05:52Was that Lacey?

05:53Yeah.

05:54I really think it was the right thing, her moving in with her family.

05:57Yeah, me too.

05:59Are you thinking about Theo?

06:01Yeah.

06:02But mainly Remy.

06:04And he's lifting up.

06:05Even more than me, I think.

06:07Well, he's quit the record label.

06:08What can you do?

06:10A few swift backhanders to his head might straighten him out.

06:12Yeah, I think maybe don't hit him today.

06:14By the way, I need to talk some sense into him.

06:27Need a word with you.

06:29That sounds serious for you.

06:31You're not giving up on the record label.

06:32No, too early for this.

06:33Look, someone needs to stop you from being an idiot and walking away from this.

06:37Like, music's always inspired you, man.

06:39I mean, that and women, but music doesn't always break your heart.

06:41Thank you for the reminder.

06:43Look, face it, without the label right now, you're a bit of a loser.

06:47You're really selling it, aren't you?

06:48I get you're upset about Theo.

06:50I do.

06:50I mean, we all are.

06:51Sonny?

06:51I think...

06:52Look, the label doesn't feel right anymore.

06:55End of story.

06:56So just let me enjoy my coffee in peace.

06:58Sonny?

06:59Sonny?

06:59Look, I've got a million reasons why we both need this label.

07:02Just hear me out.

07:06Fine.

07:07You buy me another coffee first.

07:09Out of your own money.

07:16You'd be dumb to let this recording studio go to waste, alright?

07:20I saw how proud you were showing the photos of the space of Justin yesterday.

07:23Thanks, mate.

07:24Yeah, right before he quit.

07:26What about all the plans you had?

07:27Give it up, mate.

07:28I've already made my decision.

07:31How could I sign our first artist when I know it was always meant to be Theo?

07:36I hear you.

07:38I do.

07:40Try flipping that.

07:42Theo was giving music another shot because he refused to give up on his dreams.

07:47Yeah, but I didn't start this because it was my lifelong dream.

07:49No, you started it so you could try and move on from Brie and it was kind of working.

07:52Brie and I are fine, thank you.

07:54Really?

07:55Yeah, we are, alright?

07:56She went out of her way to tell me about Theo.

08:00And even if we weren't cool, getting over an ex isn't enough of a reason to keep doing this.

08:07Alright.

08:09Here's a bigger reason.

08:10What better way to honour Theo than by giving new artists a break?

08:19You'd love that idea.

08:24Yeah.

08:25I haven't thought about it like that.

08:27I know, because you're not as smart as me.

08:28Get out of yourself.

08:29Come on.

08:31You know I'm right.

08:36Yeah, you are.

08:40Alright, great work today guys.

08:41And if you haven't already, please make sure to register for your next class, okay?

08:44Alright, we'll see you next time.

08:45Alright, let's see you next time.

08:48Hey.

08:50Hey.

08:50Feeling any good?

08:52Honestly, I'm a bit embarrassed.

08:54Oh, why is it?

08:56I just feel like I've been leaning on you too much lately.

08:59I did offer the tour.

09:03It's almost like you knew mindless chit-chats exactly what I needed this morning.

09:07Oh, hey now.

09:08I wouldn't exactly call the biomechanics of car phrases mindless.

09:10Oh, no, that was riveting.

09:14Look, I know we didn't dig into anything too deep, but if you're up for it now.

09:19Surely you're busy.

09:20Well, not if you give me a hand packing up the stuff.

09:23I'll go for a walk after.

09:26I'd love that.

09:27Alright.

09:32Hey.

09:33Hey, Nola.

09:35Bad timing.

09:36We've got our patrol soon.

09:38Oh, well, I just came to give you a gift.

09:41For moi.

09:42And Sonny, to say thank you for looking after me this past few weeks.

09:45Oh, that's okay.

09:46I just hope the eye's okay.

09:47Is it okay, Ostrachy?

09:48Yeah, don't even need painkillers.

09:50Oh, beautiful.

09:51Okay, I'm ready.

09:52Go on, you too.

09:52Give me my big expensive gift.

09:55Ta-da!

09:56Oh, you're not serious.

09:58Just don't pop it around me.

10:00Oh, okay, so you're funny now.

10:02Mm-hmm.

10:02Well, Sonny will very much appreciate the joke and the free alcohol.

10:06This is way funnier than some silly bear.

10:09Bea, lay off patch.

10:12Archie loves him.

10:13Basically part of the family, isn't he?

10:15No, he's encroaching on my territory.

10:17Don't listen to your silly mom, Archie.

10:19Okay?

10:20We're the only family you're ever going to need.

10:22Yeah.

10:23It's all this relief now that Wendell's finally confessed, but now that it's over, I just miss my mom even more.

10:38Yeah, babe.

10:39Especially now that Dad's busy helping Lacey, I just feel like I'm so in my head with nowhere to let it out.

10:46That's what I'm here for.

10:47You always know how to make me feel better.

10:53Haven't done much, really.

10:55Well, you know when to listen.

10:57It's a rare quality in the male-level species.

11:00Yeah, I do my best, you know.

11:02Do you know what would really cheer me up?

11:04What's that?

11:04Watching your face while I play the voicemail from the wedding again.

11:08Oh, no, come on.

11:09I thought you deleted that.

11:10No, never.

11:11It's my ringtone now.

11:13So you never want me to call you again?

11:18I hate that.

11:24Question.

11:25How come Papa was so cool about us meeting up earlier?

11:29We're in a good place.

11:31Feels like a genuine friendship.

11:34Very mature.

11:37So there's nothing getting in the way, say, if you happen to be someone you were really, really into.

11:45I guess not.

11:55Everything okay?

11:58Dad wants us to go visit Mum's grave today.

12:01When was the last time you went as a family?

12:04Since the funeral.

12:07Have you been back alone since?

12:09Yeah, last time I had a full-time panic attack.

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

12:16No, I haven't.

12:18Things are different now.

12:20Could be a good chance for you to prove to yourself that you can move on.

12:26It's really important to go together.

12:28It's what Mum would have wanted to.

12:29I reckon you got this.

12:34I did too.

12:49What was I for?

12:51Just to say thank you.

12:53For everything.

12:53Is that how you usually thank people?

12:56Well, yeah, all the time.

12:57Don't think you're special.

13:00I guess it's the second time you surprised me with a kiss.

13:02And if you're lucky, there'll be a third.

13:04I should go.

13:05Dad and Lacey will be waiting for me.

13:07Sure.

13:07All right, my darling.

13:30Yeah.

13:30Love you.

13:31Bye.

13:34Oh, I wasn't expecting to see you in here today.

13:36Oh, it's a quiet morning at the bait shop.

13:39I just got off the phone to chat.

13:41It's so lovely to hear his voice.

13:43Oh, how is he?

13:44Yeah, he's really good.

13:44He's doing very well.

13:46Well, that's good.

13:46We need all the positive news we can get around here.

13:49Oh, we do.

13:49Oh, hello.

13:51Yeah, hi.

13:53Hello, my darling.

13:54Oh, you look so handsome today.

13:57Well, it's not quite the thought that I have when he's screaming at four in the morning.

14:00Oh, my goodness.

14:02Hello, sweetheart.

14:04Can you, Auntie Mesa cuddle?

14:05Hi, Alf.

14:10How are you going?

14:11Well, I'd complain, but who'd listen?

14:15Oh, that's work.

14:18I can't ignore that.

14:19I'll go for your life.

14:20Do you mind holding him for a tick?

14:22Oh, sure.

14:24Sure.

14:25What's it, Daisy?

14:27Righto, little matey.

14:29You're not going to give me any trouble, are you?

14:31Because I reckon you and me could become great mates if we give it a go.

14:35You're a natural, Mr. Stewart.

14:37Oh, working with Palmer for all those years.

14:40Kids are easy.

14:41Poor Charlie.

14:42Okay.

14:43Yeah.

14:44Thanks.

14:45Bye.

14:45You could almost be Archie's granddad, Mr. Stewart.

14:48Oh, as long as it's not great, granddad.

14:50There we go.

14:52Good boy.

14:52I'm telling you, we don't need to hire a ton of people to get it done.

14:55How would you know?

14:56You've only seen photos of the place.

14:57You're just too rich these days to get your hands dirty.

15:00Okay.

15:00So you're happy to do all the soundproofing, do all the painting, rip the old equipment

15:03out, put the new equipment in?

15:05Hiring sounds good.

15:06Yeah.

15:06Dana, record labels back on.

15:09That's amazing.

15:10What changed your mind?

15:11Well, despite the lack of neurons firing in your boyfriend's brain, he can be very persuasive.

15:16Yep, he has his moments.

15:18I mean, it still feels a bit weird getting excited about things after Theo, but sure, I guess

15:23we just need to keep paying our respects in the right way.

15:25Yeah.

15:26Right, shall we go back to mine and crack on with those plans?

15:29Come on, I'm not going back to your place.

15:31Oh, no, you can, you can.

15:32I'm freezing in the city having meetings with the medical board.

15:35Still.

15:35There you go.

15:35Look, no exes in sight.

15:36Now move it.

15:37You do realise I'm technically your boss again?

15:40Move it, boss man.

15:42That's fair.

15:43Fair.

15:44Hey, could you put us to bed tonight?

15:45Get out of here.

15:46I mean, that wasn't enough.

15:49I can't believe how good you were with him.

15:51You're so lovely and warm.

15:53You make it sound like I'm normally grumpy.

15:55Oh, I thought it never crossed my mind.

15:57You know, to be honest, I missed out a bit when it came to my own grandkids.

16:02It's a shame you didn't get to spend more time with Ryder when he was growing up.

16:06Yeah, Ryder is my grandson.

16:08He works on a cruise ship now.

16:10I went down to see him the other day when he was in port.

16:13Oh, no, that's cool.

16:14Yeah, I was pretty lucky.

16:17I got to know him pretty well in the end.

16:20Being a grandparent is pretty special.

16:23I think you should lock Mr. Stewart in as your chief babysitter.

16:26Oh, get out of it, Marilyn.

16:28You'd pay the babysitter.

16:30Yeah, I would, actually.

16:31There's no reason we can't make that happen.

16:33Not that you're paying me, but...

16:35Sorry, I had better go.

16:37Yeah, sure enough.

16:40Bye-bye, little mate.

16:43Bye.

16:44See you.

16:55Hey.

16:56Hey.

16:58Sorry, I know you're working, but do you have a minute?

17:02Yes, but only because this paperwork is so boring.

17:05What's up?

17:06I've been thinking about our childhood.

17:08Oh, willingly depressing yourself.

17:10Why would you do that?

17:12It feels different now that I'm a mum.

17:14Changes your perspective.

17:16What you said actually got me thinking that, on our side,

17:19we're the only family that Archie's got.

17:21Yeah, I meant that as a positive.

17:23And it is.

17:24There's extended family on Tarnes' side, but no grandparents.

17:28So?

17:29So, the only grandparents that Archie has are our mum and dad.

17:34Would it be so bad if I tried to track them down?

17:38Because it's been such a long time,

17:40and for all we know, they could have changed.

17:46Okay.

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

17:51I'm just trying to do what's best for my son.

17:53Yeah, what's best for your son is not to ruin his childhood

17:56the way that they've ruined ours.

17:57They don't even know that they're grandparents.

17:59So?

18:00I mean, it's not like they deserve to know.

18:02Well, I think they do deserve to know,

18:03and I have a right to contact...

18:04Okay, this is the dumbest conversation we've ever had.

18:06Well, this was a nice surprise.

18:25What's family luncheon I do, son?

18:29I needed some time with a friendly face.

18:32Dana and I aren't exactly seeing eye to eye at the moment.

18:35Ah.

18:36So, how's my boy been?

18:38Yeah, he's good.

18:39He's enjoyed being out and about.

18:41Al Stewart's his new best friend.

18:42Really?

18:43That's surprising.

18:45Good to know, though.

18:45So, what's happened with your sister?

18:50I may have opened a giant can of worms,

18:53and Dana is impossible to reason with at the best of times.

18:56Go on.

18:58I'm thinking of tracking down our parents.

19:01Oh.

19:03And is that a problem?

19:04You know, you've never really spoken about them.

19:07Even around the wedding, you just said they wouldn't be coming.

19:09Mm-mm.

19:10It's complicated, but the more family art she has, the better, don't you think?

19:14Yeah, yeah.

19:15You know how important a family is to me.

19:16Yeah, I do.

19:18I just wish Dana would see it that way.

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

19:23So, why would Dana be so against the idea?

19:26Like I said, it's complicated.

19:30Let's order first.

19:34As you can see, the breakout room is right next to the studio,

19:36so whatever we fill it with needs to have the right vibe,

19:39not just a pinball machine.

19:40Gotcha.

19:41Wow, you still draw like a short-sighted five-year-old.

19:43Yeah, well, I was hoping we could use your limited imagination.

19:46Hey, just leave the breakout room to me, man.

19:47I'm all about the feng shui.

19:49Oh, yeah, can you spell it?

19:51Right, that's the sound tech.

19:52He's on his way to the studio.

19:54Great.

19:54Let's go check out the future home of the country's number one record label.

19:58Oh, my sister has gone completely insane.

20:00You're not going to believe what she's thinking.

20:02Grandma, you might want to leave because my head's going to explode.

20:03You're all making the killer.

20:04Okay, I really don't want your head to explode,

20:07but can we make this quick?

20:08I've got a sound technician meeting in, like, a second or so.

20:11Oh, yeah, shut up, shut up.

20:11Just answer me this.

20:21Okay, I'm getting half a picture.

20:22Yeah, no, it's fine.

20:23Just go.

20:24I've not got long on my break anyway.

20:25Right, I'm guessing you told Harper how you felt.

20:27Yes, and then, of course, she didn't listen,

20:29and then now I have to change her mind

20:30because if I don't, it's going to be a disaster for everyone.

20:33I hear you.

20:35I do.

20:36But in order to get through to her,

20:37I think you need to be calm and rational.

20:39You know this.

20:40Yes.

20:40Okay.

20:41Right.

20:43Let's pick this up later.

20:44I'm thinking of tracking down.
