00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08When I'm with Eddie, it just feels good, like, where I belong.
00:11But with Tani, it feels like nothing else matters in the world.
00:14I've always liked Eddie. You know I have.
00:16Is there a butt coming?
00:18Is it a backwards step?
00:19Because Eddie definitely feels like the safe option.
00:23I just woke up and felt like seeing you.
00:25Look, I'm not playing this game yet.
00:26I think we should just go into being friends.
00:28Tani's made his decision, and like you just said, I've made mine.
00:31You're with Eddie now?
00:32I'm with Eddie now.
00:33What time are you picking up Archie?
00:35In about an hour.
00:36Maybe I could meet him then.
00:38Listen, I am meeting my grandson today, and I would love it if you would be there too.
00:42I didn't just imagine my mother at the diner, and I didn't just imagine her saying that she's gonna meet her grandchild today.
00:48Wait, what?
00:49Yeah, who do you think promised her that?
00:50Like, I don't know what to do, but my nephew is not gonna be around that woman.
00:54I went to collect Archie, and Tani didn't turn up.
00:56He's not answering his phone.
00:58I just want my son back.
01:00Hey, Neva.
01:01You going somewhere?
01:02If I run, I'm stuffed.
01:03If I stay, then Archie could be in danger.
01:05I just want what's best for her.
01:07Hey, Lacey.
01:08You alright?
01:09You ever have one of those days where you're just sort of wondering what am I actually doing with my life?
01:14Oh yeah, so you're out here just sweating the small stuff, eh?
01:15Yeah.
01:16I've spent all this time trying to cope second to second.
01:17Now I'm moving past that, I'm sort of wondering what's next.
01:19Yeah, well that's a tough question.
01:20I've got to start asking it, don't I?
01:22Yeah.
01:23Just some advice.
01:24Can't hurt.
01:25Yeah.
01:26You ever have one of those days where you're just sort of wondering what am I actually doing with my life?
01:31Oh yeah, so you're out here just sweating the small stuff, eh?
01:34Yeah.
01:35I've spent all this time trying to cope second to second.
01:39Now I'm moving past that, I'm sort of wondering what's next.
01:43Yeah, well that's a tough question.
01:45I've got to start asking it, don't I?
01:47Yeah.
01:48Do I have some advice?
01:50Can't hurt.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Can't actually rush something like moving on.
01:56It'll just take as long as it takes.
01:59You really need to work on your pep talks.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Well, it already sucks, doesn't it?
02:03Sure does.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Hey, if you want something that's going to work right away, you should try running.
02:08That's what I do.
02:09I'll use my head.
02:10It's like free therapy.
02:12Hmm.
02:13Well, this is kind of my therapy and you're sort of ruining that vibe.
02:17Oh.
02:18Okay.
02:19Got the message, eh?
02:21Take it easy.
02:22Thanks.
02:29Hey, Tony.
02:30Wasn't expecting her.
02:31How's it going?
02:32Yeah.
02:33Been better, mate?
02:34There's a bit of a situation with Harper.
02:36Her mum's in town.
02:38Right.
02:39Harper said she wasn't sticking around, but she's still here waiting to meet Archie.
02:42Harper again?
02:43Archie's meant to be with him now.
02:44You're not dodging her calls again, are you?
02:45Well, mate, I'm not talking to her until I figure out how to tackle this.
02:46You learned nothing after last time.
02:47You know what?
02:48If you're about to lecture me...
02:49No, I'm not lecturing you.
02:50I'm trying to help you.
02:51Oh, yeah, what?
02:52By pointing out what I'm doing wrong.
02:53Well, you haven't been making the best choices lately, Tanya.
02:54You don't need me to point that out.
02:55I'm not leaving this woman anywhere near my son, okay?
02:56So how about you tell me?
02:57What am I meant to do here?
02:58Voicemail?
02:59Oh, yeah.
03:00As annoying as it is, he's probably just too wrapped up without you to notice his phone.
03:01Don't do that.
03:02What?
03:03Don't let him off the hook.
03:04Oh, he's just being a good dad.
03:05Well, he is a good dad.
03:06Well, even if that is the case, it doesn't give him the right to ignore your calls.
03:07Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:08What am I meant to do here?
03:11Voicemail?
03:13Oh, yeah.
03:14As annoying as it is, he's probably just too wrapped up without you to notice his phone.
03:19Don't do that.
03:20What?
03:21Don't let him off the hook.
03:23Oh, he's just being a good dad.
03:25Well, he is a good dad.
03:26Well, even if that is the case, it doesn't give him the right to ignore your calls.
03:33You have a kind heart, Harper.
03:35You see the good in people.
03:38Lucky for me.
03:39Lucky for Tane.
03:40It feels like he's taking advantage of it.
03:43Your father was just the same.
03:45What do you mean?
03:47I mean, don't be a doormat.
03:49If you let Tane walk all over you now, that's all he'll ever do.
03:56And Diddy's work had no problem with him taking leave?
03:59I wouldn't say no problem.
04:01I think he would have quit if he had to.
04:03In the next few weeks, he's going to be massive for his career.
04:05He must be stoked.
04:06You think he'll have time for a catch-up before he leaves?
04:10Chill out, Dad.
04:11Joe's the one dating Eddie, not you.
04:13I think it's kind of cute in like a bromancey way.
04:15I'm sorry for taking an interest in my daughter's life.
04:20So, things between you guys are good then?
04:22Yeah, they're great.
04:23I mean, we haven't seen each other in a few days, but hopefully we have more time to catch up at the festival.
04:27Oh.
04:28Can't wait.
04:29I finally get some peace and quiet in the house.
04:31Um, no.
04:32Sunny got a bunch of comp tickets now you're coming too.
04:34Oh.
04:35That sounds fun.
04:36Yeah.
04:37What do you say?
04:38Um, thanks, but no thanks.
04:40What?
04:41How come?
04:42Well, it's just not really my thing.
04:44I'm going to get a bit of coffee.
04:51Look, mate, I hear you, but we do both know the Harper's not going to do anything to put Archie in danger.
04:56No, I don't know that actually.
04:57Oh, come on, mate.
04:58What if she leaves him alone with her mum?
05:00Well, she's not going to do that.
05:01How do you know that?
05:02I can't trust her.
05:03She hasn't been upfront about any of this.
05:04But you haven't exactly given her a chance to explain, have you?
05:07You think I'm overreacting?
05:08No, I don't think you're overreacting.
05:09How about you're overreacting?
05:10I'm not going to call Gay up.
05:11Okay, okay.
05:12Just take a breath.
05:13No one's taken sides.
05:15Look, all I care about is knowing who is around my kid, okay?
05:18That's fair.
05:19Of course that's fair, mate.
05:21So how do I get a say on that when Harper's got some drug addict stand with him?
05:24Well, I'm not buying that.
05:25I mean, they've only just reconnected.
05:27So now you're telling me what they're living together?
05:30Have you been listening?
05:31I saw her there.
05:32Dana saw her this morning.
05:33Where else would she be staying?
05:34Well, there's just got to be some other explanation.
05:36Doesn't there?
05:38What are you doing?
05:39I'm calling Harper before she freaks out, okay?
05:41The minute you call her, she'll be around here straight away blowing upwards.
05:43No, no, no, no.
05:44The long you leave her in the dark, the worst this is going to get and solicitors are involved,
05:46okay?
05:47You know what?
05:48This isn't your problem.
05:49Hold on, hold on, hold on.
05:50Cash, why don't you go and talk to Harper in person, find out what's going on.
05:54Tarnate, you and Hutchie can stay here.
05:56No, it's fine, really.
05:57It's fine, let us help.
05:58Okay, well, we'll find a way through this.
06:00Lacey, we can go backstage.
06:03How cool will that be?
06:04Yeah.
06:05Dad, if you're such a big Eddie fan, maybe you should go yourself.
06:08That thing's really my scene.
06:10Come on, you can crank out your vintage dance moves.
06:13You joke, but I do do a mean sprinkler.
06:15Come on, Lacey, live a little.
06:19That's probably enough peer pressure for one day.
06:21But you were so excited about the festival.
06:23I thought you'd jump at the chance to go.
06:25Yeah, I have to work.
06:27Well, you can't get time off.
06:29No, I can't leave Marley here on his own.
06:32And I'm far too cool for your silly festival anyway.
06:35Okay, fine, be boring.
06:37I'm going to go to the beach.
06:38Have fun.
06:39You know what?
06:40I will.
06:41You should try it sometime.
06:45I'm telling you, he's taking the mickey.
06:47I just can't believe this.
06:48I thought we'd gotten to a good place.
06:50This is my fault.
06:54What?
06:56The timing.
06:57I come here and all of a sudden he's acting up.
07:00It's just like your father used to do.
07:02You keep saying that about Dad.
07:03What do you mean?
07:04He was controlling.
07:06The way he stopped me having a relationship with you and Dana.
07:09It's just like Tane.
07:11Dad stopped you having a relationship with us.
07:13Are you kidding me?
07:14You didn't see the half of it.
07:16I saw enough.
07:17There was a lot of ugliness from you just as much as him.
07:19Not bad.
07:20That's all in the past.
07:21My point is, I don't want you mistreated by anyone.
07:24Especially by a man.
07:25Mum, it's not that bad.
07:27Isn't it?
07:28He's already blocking me from seeing Archie.
07:30Now he's trying to block you from your own son.
07:33Don't let him do it.
07:34Call your solicitor.
07:35Hey, have you seen Tane?
07:36He's taking Archie again.
07:37Who's this?
07:38Uh, Cash.
07:39This is my mum, Kerry.
07:40Hey Kerry.
07:41Nice to meet you.
07:42Cash is the one I told you about.
07:43He helped me find you.
07:44Oh, yeah.
07:45Thanks.
07:46First time I said that to a cop.
07:47Uh, I will leave you two to catch up.
07:48Just think about what I said.
07:49Don't let anyone push you around.
07:54So that's mum?
07:55Hmm.
07:56Yeah.
07:57What are you doing?
07:59Answer my question first.
08:00Have you heard from Tane?
08:01Yeah, I have.
08:03Well, where is he who needs to bring Archie back?
08:06He's worried.
08:07so that's mum
08:13yeah what are you doing answer my question first have you heard from tanya yeah i have
08:20well where is he needs to bring archie back he's worried so he should be
08:24tanya i can't keep doing this how was running away again gonna help well it wasn't gonna be
08:37forever just i needed time to figure out what to do yeah but i mean shouldn't you and harper be
08:42figuring it out together
08:44her again no it's the gym there's some stuff to sort out there but i can wait
08:55oh why i can watch archie no i can't ask you to do that no you're not i'm offering
09:00all right all right i won't be long okay okay son all right we'll see you soon okay okay you'll be
09:08a good boy
09:14hey boy oh you like my hair do you hello so apparently you told him that she wasn't
09:24sticking around yeah i did say that well clearly she is which is why he's worried i was going
09:30to explain that when i met him to pick up archie to him it seems like you're lying can you honestly
09:36see me suggesting this hey mum we've barely spoken in a decade but why don't you move in
09:40with me and my baby into a tiny motel yeah i can't see that at all she showed up unannounced
09:44and she insisted on staying what was i supposed to do so you felt back into a corner yeah i don't
09:49love how this has turned out but she is my mum and i really want archie to have a grandparent yeah
09:55but you can't blame tanya just for being concerned about i mean what if the situation was reversed
10:00i get it i really do i have my own worries with mum which i'm trying to work through
10:06i just wish that tanya could support me on that
10:09i think that if you put it to him like that he's really going to understand where you're coming from
10:13well i would if he would answer one of my phone calls
10:16sorry if joe pushed you too hard about going to the festival
10:21oh it's fine it's nice to be asked still she could have taken the hint she can be a bit enthusiastic
10:29when it comes to eddie he can ask you a question you can ask me anything you know that
10:35when joe and eddie broke up wasn't really in the best place i remember half of what happened
10:42one minute eddie was there and then he wasn't how did that all happen
10:47joe had a lot going on at the time
10:50and he just accepted her decision he was devastated
10:56tried to tell him that she just needed some time
11:00and that was the last i saw of him until now
11:04so he just gave up i guess so not that i blame him
11:10of course you don't what's this about do you have a problem with eddie
11:16no no no problem he's a great guy it's just
11:19you giving him this massive green light
11:22it's not helping joe forget what happened
11:24sometimes relationships end but that doesn't have to mean forever
11:28he's the right person wrong time
11:31wouldn't the right person have fought for her
11:33it's not always that simple
11:35isn't it

16:05whoa where did that come from?
16:09I'm just curious.
16:11You're not feeling any pressure from me, are you?
16:14No, why would I be?
16:16I don't know, I...
16:18I just want you to know that you can be with whoever you want.
16:22You don't need my approval.
16:24I know that.
16:26You do like Eddie though, don't you?
16:28I do. A lot.
16:30Good.
16:32I just want you to be sure.
16:39He's a good boy. Come on.
16:54I was wondering where you got to.
16:57Oh my God.
16:59It's beautiful.
17:02What?
17:04We have a few ground rules.
17:06You're okay.
17:08There is still a lot of stuff that we need to work through.
17:11I know that.
17:12No, I mean it.
17:14And until we do, you won't be left alone with Archie.
17:20Of course.
17:21There is Mum.
17:23Whatever you're comfortable with.
17:25Can I...
17:26Can I have a cuddle now?
17:28Well, hi there.
17:34Hi Archie.
17:36I'm your Nana.
17:38Yeah.
17:40Hi.
17:41Hi.
17:42Hi.
17:43Hi.
17:44Hi.

17:47Is that mummy?
17:49Hi.
17:50Hi.
17:51Hi.
17:52Hi.
17:53Hi.
17:55Hi.
17:57Hi.
17:58Hi.
17:59Hi.
18:01Hi.
18:02Hi.
18:03Hi.
18:04Now I could ask you the same question
18:06What was all that about earlier?
18:09Why do you think I feel pressured to be with Eddie?
18:11Sweetheart
18:13All I want is for you to be happy
18:20Did you ever have any doubts with mom?
18:23No
18:25I knew from the moment I saw her I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her
18:29Really?
18:30Yeah, I had no idea where it would go
18:34But I knew she was it for me
18:36She was what I wanted
18:38And so much so that I gave up a promotion to stay in town with her
18:43How did I not know this?
18:45Well, I did have a life before you were born
18:48But giving up a promotion for a relationship isn't that risky?
18:53Scared the hell out of me
18:55But I would have done it ten times over for your mom
18:59I just want you to feel that too
19:04Let's go Warriors! Keep it up! Keep it up! Good work!
19:11Push yourselves!
19:13That's it! That's it! Harder! Harder! Let's go!
19:16Good!
19:18Good stuff everybody!
19:20Two more rounds guys! Two more rounds!
19:23Keep it up! Hey Joe! Hey! Wait up! You alright?
19:32Yeah, I just wanted to check in
19:35Look, if this was about yesterday, I'm sorry you were caught in the middle of that
19:38Oh, you'll run in with Harper's mum?
19:41Yeah, it's a complicated situation
19:44Yeah, it seems like it
19:47It's actually not one I wanted to talk to you about though
19:50Okay

20:29Well, I was, I'm doing some thinking
20:31And I guess I was just...
20:36Wondering
20:38Sorry, this was a lot easier in my head
20:40It's okay
20:45I've been wondering about us
20:47And how things have turned out
