00:00Questions about what happened on that day.
00:03No more guilt.
00:04No more confusion.
00:06I'm really worried about Lacey.
00:08Me too.
00:09She's gonna need us both for a very long time.
00:12How are you holding up?
00:13Now I can say with absolute certainty that I didn't do it.
00:16I didn't cause Mom's death.
00:18You don't think I'm terrible for feeling that way?
00:20No, I don't think you're terrible at all.
00:22If you need me at all, call anytime.
00:24Thanks.
00:25Well...
00:26I'm 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...
00:39It 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.
00:46He's got to be my priority.
00:47This all just feels so wrong.
00:49What do you mean? Why?
00:50Justin's already bailed.
00:52To be honest, mate, my heart just isn't in it anymore either.
00:59Hi, Dana.
01:00No! How'd you not with me?
01:01Because you stomp like a baby elf.
01:02I was going for stealthy.
01:03How are you?
01:04Not bad. How was your shift?
01:05Long.
01:06Long.
01:07I was actually already in the middle of it when you text me about Theo's memorial.
01:09Otherwise, obviously, I was going for stealthy.
01:13How are you?
01:14Not bad.
01:15How was your shift?
01:16Long.
01:17I was actually already in the middle of it when you text me about Theo's memorial.
01:21Otherwise, obviously, I would have gone.
01:22It's alright.
01:23I didn't expect you to drop everything.
01:24How was it?
01:25Yeah, it was really amazing hearing all the stories about him I hadn't heard.
01:26But, yeah, it was pretty heavy.
01:27Of course.
01:28Well, the memorial was just a start.
01:29And then, I was just a start.
01:30And then, I was going for a start.
01:31And then, I was going for a start.
01:32And then, I was going for a start.
01:33And then, I was going for a start.
01:34I was going for stealthy.
01:35How are you?
01:36Not bad.
01:37How was your shift?
01:38Long.
01:39I was actually already in the middle of it when you text me about Theo's memorial.
01:41Otherwise, obviously, I would have gone.
01:42But, yeah, it was pretty heavy.
01:46Of course.
01:47Well, the memorial was just a start.
01:51Remy and Justin have pulled the pin on the record label.
01:55I get why Justin would want to prioritise him and Lear at the moment.
02:00Yeah, I mean, I get it too.
02:02But, it's no reason for Remy to give up on the label.
02:05Remy's heart's not in it anymore, babe.
02:07Yeah, I know.
02:08But, 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.
02:14I kind of thought he was just doing it to get over Brie.
02:16There's 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.
02:35I'm really going to miss her.
02:37I get it though.
02:38Yeah, me too.
02:39Just being with her family is what she needs right now.
02:42I should text Brie.
02:43I should let her know.
02:44Well, I guess we've got a spare room now.
02:48She's a fire that never ends.
02:49She was not fooling around.
02:50I've been many miles away.
02:52Hey.
02:53Hey.
02:54How's your walk?
02:55It was good.
02:56Reckon he's due for a feed though.
02:57Oh, you hungry, my little guy?
02:59So, Joe wants to meet up again.
03:00I think someone might have a crush.
03:01She just has a lot going on at the moment.
03:02That's all.
03:03Well, I'm more than happy to spend time with this little guy.
03:04Yeah, bubba.
03:05Hi, Joe.
03:06Nice to see you.
03:07Hey.
03:08Sorry, I didn't realise you guys had plans today.
03:09Wow.
03:10No, no.
03:11It's nappies and laundry for me.
03:12So, enjoy your ketchup.
03:13See ya.
03:14See ya, boy.
03:15Thanks.
03:16Bye.
03:17Bye.
03:18Bye.
03:19Bye.
03:20Bye.
03:21Bye.
03:22Bye.
03:23Bye.
03:24Bye.
03:25Bye.
03:26Bye.
03:27Bye.
03:28Bye.
03:29Bye.
03:30Bye.
03:31Bye.
03:32Bye.
03:33Bye.
03:34Bye.
03:35Bye.
03:36Bye.
03:37See ya, boy.
03:38Thanks.
03:39Hmm.
03:40You okay?
03:41Yeah, I'm fine.
03:43Actually, I'm not fine.
03:46I don't know why I said that.
03:48Come on.
03:49Break is on me.
03:50Thanks, mate.
04:03Hey, mate.
04:04How you getting on?
04:05Uh, yeah.
04:06Been better.
04:07Yeah.
04:08Sorry to hear about Theo, man.
04:09I know you guys were close.
04:10Yeah.
04:11Yeah, we were.
04:12How's Lacey?
04:13Um, yeah, she's not great, but she has my dad taking care of her, so.
04:17That's good.
04:18Uh, I'll leave you guys to it.
04:19Come and see ya.
04:20Yeah, take care, mate.
04:21See ya.
04:22Table or booth?
04:23Uh, booth.
04:24Uh, booth.
04:25So, any news?
04:26What's happening with this guy?
04:27He said he's got a face call today.
04:28Yeah, but because he already confessed, Dad said it's like a full mouth lady.
04:31Oh.
04:32Do you know where incendency will be?
04:33No, not yet.
04:34Still, you must be relieved.
04:35Yes and no.
04:36I don't know.
04:37I don't know.
04:38I don't know.
04:39I don't know.
04:40I don't know.
04:41I don't know.
04:42I don't know.
04:43I don't know.
04:44I don't know.
04:45I don't know.
04:46I don't know.
04:47I don't know.
04:48I don't know.
04:49I don't know.
04:50I don't know.
04:51I don't know.
04:52Do you ever wish you could switch your own brain off for a few hours?
04:59I 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 a bit.
05:09We'll help you zone out.
05:10You know, that actually sounds strangely appealing.
05:13Alright.
05:14Well, how about I get us some coffees and we can just talk about absolutely nothing important.
05:19Perfect.
05:21Yeah.
05:32Yes.
05:34Just because we're not roomies anymore, that doesn't change anything.
05:37Alright?
05:38We're still friends.
05:40Good.
05:41Okay.
05:42Just take care of yourself.
05:44Alright.
05:45Talk to you soon.
05:46Bye.
05:47You little mind reader.
05:48You have no idea how much I wanted a coffee.
05:51No, 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.
06:03But 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?
06:09A few swift backhanders to his head might straighten him out.
06:12Yeah, I think maybe don't hit him today.
06:14Yeah.
06:15By the way, I need to talk some sense into him.
06:19Need a word with you.
06:20That sounds serious for you.
06:21You're not giving up on the record label.
06:22No.
06:23Too early for this.
06:24Look, someone needs to stop you from being an idiot and walking away from this.
06:26Like, music's always inspired you, man.
06:27I mean, that and women, but music doesn't always break your heart.
06:28Thank you for the reminder.
06:29Look.
06:30I mean, face it.
06:31Without the label right now, you're a bit of a loser.
06:32You're really selling it, aren't you?
06:33Yeah.
06:34Yeah.
06:35I get you're upset about Theo.
06:36I do.
06:37I mean, we all are.
06:38Sonny.
06:39I think...
06:40Look.
06:41The label doesn't feel right anymore.
06:42End of story.
06:43So just let me enjoy the coffee in peace.
06:44Sonny.
06:45Sonny!
06:46Look, I've got a million reasons why we both need this label.
06:48Just hear me out.
06:49I'm sorry.
06:50I'm sorry.
06:51I'm sorry.
06:52I'm sorry.
06:53I'm sorry.
06:54I'm sorry.
06:55I'm sorry.
06:56I'm sorry.
06:57I'm sorry.
06:58I'm sorry.
06:59I'm sorry.
07:00I'm sorry.
07:01I'm sorry.
07:02I'm sorry.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:04Hear me out.
07:06Fine.
07:07You buy me another coffee first.
07:09Out of your own money.
07:17You'd be dumb to let this recording studio go to waste.
07:20Alright?
07:21I saw how proud you were showing the photos of the space of Justin yesterday.
07:24Thanks, mate.
07:25Yeah, right before he quit.
07:26What about all the plans you had?
07:28Give it up, mate.
07:29I've already made my decision.
07:31How could I sign our first artist when I know it was always meant to be Theo?
07:37I hear you.
07:38I do.
07:40Try flipping that.
07:41Alright.
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 Bree and it was kind of working.
07:52Bree and I are fine, thank you.
07:54Really?
07:55Yeah, we are.
07:56Alright?
07:57She went out of her way to tell me about Theo.
08:01And even if we weren't cool, getting over an ex isn't enough of a reason to keep doing this.
08:08Alright.
08:10Here's a bigger reason.
08:11What better way to honor Theo than by giving new artists a break?
08:19You'd love that idea.
08:24Yeah, I haven't thought about it like that.
08:27I know because you're not as smart as me.
08:28Get out of yourself.
08:30Come on.
08:32You know I'm right.
08:36Yeah, you are.
08:39Alright, great work today guys.
08:41And if you haven't already, please make sure to register for your next class, okay?
08:44Yep.
08:45Alright, we'll see you next time.
08:46Next time.
08:48Hey.
08:50Hey.
08:51Feeling in your beard?
08:53Honestly, I'm a bit embarrassed.
08:55Oh, why is that?
08:57I just feel like I've been leaning on you two marks lately.
09:00I did offer the tour.
09:04It'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.
09:11That 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.
09:21Not if you give me a hand packing up with stuff.
09:23Go for a walk after.
09:26I'd love that.
09:28Alright.
09:33Hey.
09:34Hey, no.
09:35Bad timing.
09:37We've got our patrol soon.
09:39Oh, well, I just came to give you a gift.
09:41For moi?
09:42And Sunny.
09:43To 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, Mr. Archie?
09:48Yep.
09:49Don't even need painkillers.
09:50Oh, beautiful.
09:51Okay.
09:52I'm ready.
09:53Go on, you two.
09:54Give me my big expensive gift.
09:56Ta-da!
09:57You're not.
09:58You're not serious.
09:59Just don't pop it around me.
10:00Oh, okay.
10:01So you're funny now.
10:02Mm-hmm.
10:03Well, Sunny will very much appreciate the joke and the free alcohol.
10:07This is way funnier than some silly bear.
10:10Bea, lay off Patch.
10:12Archie loves him.
10:13Basically part of the family, isn't he?
10:16No, he's encroaching on my territory.
10:18Don't listen to your silly mum, Archie.
10:19Okay?
10:20We're the only family you're ever gonna need.
10:22Yeah.
10:23There's all this relief now that Wendell's finally confessed, but now that it's over,
10:35I just miss my mum even more.
10:38Yeah, a bit.
10:40Especially now that Dad's busy helping Lacey, I just feel like I'm so in my head with nowhere
10:45to let it out.
10:46That's what I'm here for.
10:48You always know how to make me feel better.
10:52Haven't done much, really.
10:55Well, you know when to listen.
10:57It's a rare quality in the male of the species.
10:59Yeah, I'll do my best, you know.
11:02Do you know what would really cheer me up?
11:04What's that?
11:05Watching your face while I play the voicemail from the wedding again.
11:08Oh, no.
11:09Come on.
11:10I thought you deleted that.
11:11No, never.
11:12It's my ringtone now.
11:13So you never want me to call you again?
11:17I hate that.
11:19Question.
11:20How come Harper was so cool about us meeting up earlier?
11:24We're in a good place.
11:25Feels like a genuine friendship.
11:26Very mature.
11:27So there's nothing getting in the way, say, if you happen to be someone you were really,
11:29really into?
11:30I guess not.
11:31Everything okay?
11:32Dad wants us to go visit Mum's graves today.
11:33should. Very mature. So there's nothing getting in the way, say, if you happen to be someone
11:42you were really, really into? I guess not.
11:55Everything okay? Dad wants us to go visit Mum's grave today.
12:00When was the last time you went as a family? Since the funeral. Have you been back alone
12:08since? Yeah, last time I had a full-time panic attack. Well, you haven't had a panic attack
12:14lately, have you? No, I haven't. Things are different now. Could be a good chance for you
12:21to prove to yourself that you can move on. It's really important to go together. It's
12:28what Mum would have wanted to. I reckon you got this. Yeah, I do too.
12:36What was that for? Just to say thank you for everything. Is that how you usually thank people?
12:56Well, yeah, all the time. Don't think you're special. I guess it's the second time you've
13:01surprised me with a kiss. And if you're lucky, they'll be a third. I should go. Dad and Lacey will be waiting for me.
13:06Sure.
13:08You're so happy to feel it till I do.
13:14Bye-bye.
13:16Bye-bye.
13:18Bye-bye.
13:20Bye-bye.
13:22Bye-bye.
13:24Bye-bye.
13:26Bye-bye.
13:28All right, my darling. Yeah.
13:30Love you. Bye.
13:32Bye.
13:34Oh, I wasn't expecting to see you in here today.
13:37Yeah, it's a quiet morning at the bait shop.
13:39I just got off the ground to jet. It's so lovely to hear his voice.
13:43Oh, how is he?
13:44Yeah, he's really good. He's doing very well.
13:46Well, that's good. We need all the positive news we can get around here.
13:49We do. Oh, 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.
14:03Hello, sweetheart.
14:04Can you hear Auntie Melissa Cotto?
14:09Hi, Alf. How are you going?
14:11Well, I'd complain, but who'd listen?
14:15Oh, that's work. I can't ignore that.
14:19I'll go for your life.
14:20Do you mind holding him for a tick?
14:22Oh, I'm 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 can become great mates if we give it a go.
14:35You're a natural, Mr. Stewart.
14:37Working with Palmer for all those years, kids are easy.
14:40Poor Charlie.
14:42Okay. Yeah. Thanks. Bye.
14:45You could almost be Archie's granddad, Mr. Stewart.
14:48As long as it's not great, granddad.
14:50There we go.
14:51Good 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? You've only seen photos of the place.
14:57You're just too rich these days to get your hands dirty.
15:00Okay, so you're happy to do all the soundproofing, do all the painting,
15:03rip the old equipment out, put the new equipment in?
15:05Hiring sounds good.
15:06Yeah.
15:06Dana, record label's back on.
15:09That's amazing. What changed your mind?
15:11Well, despite the lack of neurons firing in your boyfriend's brain,
15:14he 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,
15:21but I'm sure I guess we just need to keep paying our respects in the right way.
15:25Yeah.
15:27Right. Shall we go back to mine and crack on with those plans?
15:29Oh, I'm not going back to your place.
15:31Oh no, you can. You can. I'm freezing in the city, having meetings with the medical board.
15:35Still.
15:35There you go. Look, no exes in sight. Now move it.
15:37You do realise I'm technically your boss again?
15:41Move it, boss man.
15:41That's better.
15:43Fair.
15:44Hey, could you put us to bed tonight?
15:45Get out of here.
15:46I mean, that wasn't enough.
15:48I can't believe how good you were with him. You're so lovely and warm.
15:53You make it sound like I'm normally grumpy.
15:55Oh, that thought never crossed my mind.
15:57You know, to be honest, I missed out a bit when it came to my own grandkids.
16:03It's a shame you didn't get to spend more time with Ryder when he was growing up.
16:05Yeah, Ryder is my grandson. He 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.
16:13Yeah, I was pretty lucky. I got to know him pretty well in the end. Being a grandparent,
16:21it's pretty special.
16:23I think you should lock Mr. Stewart in as your chief babysitter.
16:26Oh, get out of it, Marilyn. You'd pay the babysitter.
16:30Yeah, I would actually. There's no reason we can't make that happen. Not that you paying me a bit.
16:36Sorry, I had better go.
16:37Yeah, sure enough. Bye-bye, little mate.
16:41Bye.
16:55Hey. Hey.
16:58Sorry, I know you're working, but do you have a minute?
17:02Yes, but only because this paperwork is so boring. What's up?
17:06I've been thinking about our childhood.
17:08Oh, willingly depressing yourself. Why would you do that?
17:11It feels different now that I'm a mum. Changes your perspective. What you said actually got me
17:17thinking that on our side, we're the only family that Archie's got.
17:21Yeah, I meant that as a positive.
17:23And it is. There's extended family on Tarnes' side, but no grandparents.
17:28So?
17:29So the only grandparents that Archie has are our mum and dad.
17:33Would it be so bad if I tried to track them down? Because it's been such a long time,
17:40and for all we know, they could have changed.
17:42Okay, um, 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 the way that they've ruined ours.
17:57But they don't even know that they're grandparents.
17:59So? I mean, it's not like they deserve to know.
18:02Well, I think they do deserve to know, and I have a right to contact...
18:04This is the dumbest conversation we've ever had.
18:24Well, this was a nice surprise.
18:26This family lunch and I do something.
18:29I needed some time with a friendly face.
18:31Yes. Dana and I aren't exactly seeing eye to eye at the moment.
18:35Ah. So how's my boy been, eh?
18:38Yeah, he's good. He's enjoyed being out and about.
18:41Al Stewart's his new best friend.
18:42Really? That's surprising. Good to know, though.
18:46So, 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.
18:57I'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.
19:06Even around the wedding, you just said they wouldn't be coming.
19:08Mm-mm.
19:10It's complicated, but the more family art she has, the better, don't you think?
19:13Yeah, yeah. You know how important a family is to me.
19:16Yeah, I do.
19:17I 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?
19:49Right, that's the sound tech. He's on his way to the studio.
19:53Great. Let'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.
20:01Grammy, you might want to leave because my head's going to explode.
20:03I'll meet you in the car.
20:04Okay, I really don't want your head to explode, but can we make this quick?
20:08I've got a sound technician meeting in like a second or so.
20:10Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure. Just answer me this.
20:13If you had toxic people in your life, what would you do?
20:15Cut them out.
20:16Exactly. Forever. You wouldn't invite them back in because Archie needs grandparents.
20:21Okay, I'm getting half a picture.
20:22Yeah, no, it's fine. Just go. I'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 because if I don't,
20:31it's going to be a disaster for everyone.
20:34I hear you. I do.
20:36But in order to get through to her, I think you need to be calm and rational.
20:39You know this.
20:40Yes.
20:40Okay, right.
20:42Uh, let's pick this up later.
20:44I'm thinking of tracking down.
20:54Okay.
20:56Okay.
20:58Okay.
21:00Okay.
21:02Okay.
21:04Okay.
21:06Okay.
21:08Okay.
21:10Okay.
