00:01Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:08Holden gives me the creeps.
00:10Abby and I saw him outside last night.
00:12It's like he was waiting for you.
00:14All I know is that I don't feel so alone when you're around.
00:17I'm sorry if I freaked you out.
00:18I've cancelled all your lessons.
00:20But I paid up front.
00:21And you'll get a full refund.
00:22Can you just give me one more chance?
00:24No chance.
00:24Please, for me.
00:26I don't want to have anything to do with the guy.
00:27I don't think you should either.
00:32None of my students have shown up for the class.
00:34That's a bit odd.
00:36You're telling me.
00:37I'm afraid the results aren't what we'd hoped for.
00:42Is it cancer?
00:44Can't say from the scans alone.
00:46I am done.
00:47So you're going to call the neurosurgeon and organise treatment?
00:49Not exactly thrilled about it, but yes.
00:51I think it's about time.
00:53And you're going to make sure he follows through?
00:55Absolutely.
00:56Radiation!
00:57Hey, you think that was on this year's to-do list?
01:03I told Sonny he's an idiot, but doesn't listen, does he?
01:07This is not the time for him to be pushing his girlfriend away.
01:09What is he doing?
01:11Acting out.
01:13Panicking.
01:15I know how that ends.
01:18How are you feeling about today?
01:21Well, the medical team filled me in on what to expect.
01:25You don't have to come, by the way.
01:27Are you kidding me?
01:28Well, you're not actually allowed in the room while they're doing the radiation, so...
01:33You sure?
01:34Yeah.
01:35Someone's got to take care of you afterwards.
01:36Even when I'm throwing my guts up.
01:39How many times have you held my hair back while I've been throwing up?
01:41Yeah, well, my hair's short.
01:42Mm.
01:43I'm not taking her for an answer.
01:45Accept it.
01:46You step with me.
01:48I'm going to go grab the keys, you finish your coffee, and then we'll head.
01:52Yeah?
01:53Yep.
01:54Okay.
02:02The class is definitely scheduled.
02:04And none of these students have ever missed a class before.
02:07So they're a keen mob, eh?
02:09Yeah.
02:09Really keen.
02:10They love Molly.
02:11Could I have said something last week to make them think that today was cancelled?
02:15Like what?
02:16I don't know.
02:17Like, there was big swell forecasts or something?
02:19Was there?
02:20The water around here hasn't been too rough from what I've seen.
02:23Well, I just can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't show up.
02:27Good luck getting to the bottom of it, eh?
02:28Let me know how you go.
02:29Look, there is only one way to find out.
02:34I'll call the first three names on the list, and you call the others.
02:37Yep.
02:37On it.
02:40Okay, bear with me.
02:41The system's even slower than usual.
02:46Okay.
02:47We're in.
02:48Name, please.
02:48Red.
02:49Remi Carter.
02:52Thanks.
02:56This is for you.
02:58Okay.
02:58Just take a seat.
02:59Could be a wait before we call you in.
03:02It's fine.
03:14Hopefully it's not too long of a wait.
03:16They're busy saving lives.
03:18Mine too, if I'm lucky.
03:20Mm-hmm.
03:21Is this you staying positive, is it?
03:22I'm here, aren't I?
03:25Well, I don't think you were going to give me a choice anyway.
03:27Mm-hmm.
03:28You're calling me pushy now, are you?
03:30Always calling me pushy.
03:32I don't know this time you were right too.
03:35There was a moment yesterday where I lost my vision.
03:39The radio therapy's going to work.
03:41I'm sure of it.
03:47I'm sure of it.
03:49Sorry for the mix up.
03:50I'll see you next week.
03:53So, apparently all the students got a message late last night from a private number.
03:58Lesson cancelled.
03:59No explanation given.
04:01I've been getting the same story.
04:03This is really weird.
04:06Holden wasn't happy with me.
04:08What if this is payback?
04:10That's crazy.
04:11How would he have even gotten the numbers?
04:13I don't know.
04:17He came to see me last night when I was closing up.
04:19But he wasn't angry.
04:21At all.
04:22So, wait.
04:22He was here before the text went out?
04:26Yeah.
04:28Okay.
04:29Is there any way that he could have seen the timetable?
04:31It has everyone's details on there.
04:35He wouldn't be so vindictive.
04:37Open your eyes, Lacey.
04:39He's the only person that would have done this.
04:41Look, there's something not right about the guy and you know it.
04:45I'm going to go and pick up Abby from the hospital.
04:58Well.
05:01You look amazing.
05:03So do you.
05:05Sorry I took a while.
05:15I still don't know what I'm doing here though.
05:18I wanted to surprise you.
05:21Wow.
05:23We've definitely done that.
05:27But, um, why am I so dressed up?
05:29Are we going somewhere?
05:31Do we need a reason?
05:34I like the way you think, Mr. Morgan.
05:44Should we open up the champagne?
05:47We could, or we could just, you know.
05:50Yeah.
05:56What do you need?
05:57A water?
05:58Should I go and ask how much longer you need to wait?
06:01They'll get to me when they get to me.
06:03Mm-hmm.
06:10Remy?
06:11We're ready.
06:12Come on through.
06:14They'll be right here when you get out.
06:15Okay?
06:16You got this.
06:18Love you.
06:21Love you too.
06:25Okay.
06:26Okay, Remy.
06:26We're going to set you with a mask, just like this.
06:28Okay?
06:29It does look a bit scary, but it is to protect you and keep you still during treatment.
06:33Okay?
06:34I'll get you to lie down, please.
06:37Okay.
06:39We usually do this in the treatment room, but we're a little bit behind.
06:45Okay?
06:46Get your hands here.
06:47If you're feeling uncomfortable, just give me a thumbs down.
06:50If you're feeling okay, thumbs up.
06:52Okay?
06:54This usually takes about 10 minutes.
06:56All right?
06:59Take a deep breath.
07:00You'll be all right.
07:09Over we go.
07:38Hi.
07:39Hi.
07:40Thanks for coming.
07:41I would rather do this in person than over the phone.
07:45What's going on?
07:47Do you happen to know why Marley's lesson was cancelled this morning?
07:51Why would I?
07:52A person sent out a text with false information.
07:55You were annoyed with him?
07:57I have to ask.
07:59So this is coming from your boss?
08:00That doesn't matter.
08:01Well, it does when I've been accused of something that I didn't do.
08:05Apart from anything else, I would never interfere with your job.
08:08That you believe in, don't you?
08:10I have no reason not to.
08:13Look.
08:14Why don't we head upstairs?
08:15I'll show you a meal when you chat this over.
08:18Come on.
08:18You can't just throw something like that at me and expect not to have a proper conversation about it.
08:21Okay.
08:22But it can't be long.
08:23Okay.
08:24Just a quick coffee.
08:25Yeah.
08:41Oh, Marley, mate, it's me.
08:44Listen, that Holden bloke showed up.
08:47If you get this, you might like to check in with Lacey.
08:59I thought I might find you here.
09:01Hey.
09:02Have they called Remy in yet?
09:04Yeah.
09:04Yeah.
09:05A while ago.
09:06What about you?
09:06You started in the ED?
09:08First day.
09:09Yeah.
09:10It's a bit quiet, actually.
09:12I brought Abby in to get her cast off.
09:14Marley just took her home.
09:15I should have remembered.
09:17That's okay.
09:18You've had a bit on your mind.
09:19Yeah.
09:20She's ready to party, that's for sure.
09:22Let's just hope she doesn't break her other arm.
09:23Oh, yeah.
09:24Wouldn't even joke about it.
09:25Like I didn't see her downstairs, otherwise I would not know how to explain why we're here.
09:29You'll be able to tell her soon enough, I'm sure.
09:31Yeah.
09:32I get why he wants to keep it private.
09:34It'd be easy for everyone if it wasn't such a secret.
09:37Mm.
09:38Hey, if, um, if Rem does everything that they tell him to do, will he be okay?
09:46State one.
09:47Yeah.
09:48Yeah, I know, I know.
09:49He's getting the very best care.
09:51Mm-hmm.
09:54I've got to get back to it.
09:56Yeah.
09:56But, uh, if you need anything, call me.
09:59Mm-hmm.
09:59Thanks.
10:08What do you reckon?
10:09Should we open the champagne?
10:11I did leave Marilyn alone at work.
10:15You're gonna leave me drinking champagne alone with only rose petals for company.
10:21Yeah, I guess she can handle herself.
10:24Mm-hmm.
10:31Mm-hmm.
10:32Where'd you tell her you were going?
10:34Oh, I just said we were going on a little date.
10:38I just didn't give her any more details.
10:40Mm-hmm.
10:40I figured it was our little naughty secret, right?
10:43Mm-hmm.
10:44Like the time I came home and you were just lying in my bed.
10:47Mm-hmm.
10:47Mm-hmm.
10:48Do you remember...
10:49Mm-hmm.
10:50...that black bra?
10:52I do.
10:54I don't even know if I've still got it.
10:57Though I did have a really good reason for ambushing you.
11:00Couldn't keep away from it.
11:02Yeah, that.
11:03Yeah.
11:04And I got sick of sneaking around in motels.
11:10But you're okay with this, right?
11:12Did I get this wrong?
11:14Justin, I'm lying here naked next to you.
11:22That time in our lives just feels like such a long time ago.
11:27Mm-hmm.
11:28Yeah.
11:29I've changed.
11:30You've changed me.
11:35You're happy.
11:38So happy.
11:44Does it hurt with the cast off?
11:46Nope.
11:47It's just a little bit stiff.
11:49Ugh.
11:49I can finally do everything myself again.
11:52Just when I was getting used to washing your hair.
11:55Which I love you for.
11:57I also love you for picking me up today.
12:00Ooh, I can do my own zips up now.
12:02And I can cook and clean.
12:04And yes, I do do those things.
12:06Didn't say anything.
12:07I know what you were thinking.
12:09Anyway, I vote that we celebrate.
12:12So do you think you can take the afternoon off work?
12:15I'll call Lacey and let her know that I'm not coming in.
12:19That's weird.
12:21What?
12:22Uh, Mrs. Stewart left me a voicemail.
12:30Is it bad?
12:33Uh, just something I need to go and take care of at the club.
12:37Was it an emergency?
12:39Nothing you need to worry about, but I can't put it off.
12:42Not even for me.
12:44We can celebrate tonight, okay?
12:46I promise.
12:47Guess we'll have to.
12:50I'm sorry.
12:58I still haven't been sleeping well.
13:00It's still in my head.
13:03You know, I've been thinking about you.
13:05Really?
13:06I thought maybe it's a good idea for you to talk to someone.
13:10Like a counsellor.
13:13Some therapist isn't going to understand what we went through.
13:16Well, it's literally their job to understand that stuff.
13:19I'd rather talk to you.
13:21I know I can trust you.
13:25We may as well eat while we're here.
13:26What do you feel like?
13:27Uh, I can't stay, sorry.
13:30Yeah, you can.
13:30Oh my god, I've got a counsellor I need to finish today.
13:34You know, I'm starting to feel like you're avoiding me.
13:40Lacey, you alright?
13:42Yeah, I'm fine, why?
13:45Where do you get off messing with my business?
13:47Okay, Holden wasn't involved.
13:49Yeah, like he's going to admit it.
13:50Here we go.
13:51No, I don't want to see you around here anymore.
13:53It's a public space.
13:54Yeah, and I'm telling you to leave.
13:55And you can quick contact and Lacey while you're at it.
13:58You don't get to speak for her.
13:59Okay, neither of you do.
14:00This guy's dodgy as hell.
14:02No, no, no, you're not listening.
14:03Holden hasn't done anything wrong.
14:05I'm not falling for that.
14:06And I'm not an idiot.
14:07Marley, you need to back off.
14:21Any word on Remy?
14:22No, should it be taking as long?
14:24He might need a minute to himself after the treatment.
14:27Think quick.
14:28Who?
14:29Chicken and salad, and yes, you'll have to pick the cucumber out.
14:31Are you sure that you should be babysitting me right now?
14:33Fine, I'm on call if they need me.
14:35Thanks.
14:38Hey, there you are.
14:39How are you feeling?
14:40Oh, like I've had a laser pointed at my skull.
14:43What on earth is that?
14:45Oh, it's the last guy I have to wear for the treatment.
14:48Levite.
14:49Hey.
14:51You feeling any side effects?
14:53Not yet.
14:54Maybe that's a good thing.
14:55Maybe, maybe you won't have any.
14:56I just wait a couple of hours for hell to rain down on me.
15:01I'm sorry.
15:01Hey, no, no, it's okay.
15:03It's okay, I just wasn't sure if you were joking or not.
15:04No, I'm fine.
15:05I promise.
15:07So, um, what happens now?
15:09Uh, I think I want me to stick around for an hour and make sure I'm okay and then I'm
15:13at home, I guess.
15:14I don't think it's the time for you to be on your own.
15:16Can I change your mind about staying with me and Cash?
15:18I'm fine where I am.
15:18Are you though?
15:19Eden?
15:20Just say yes.
15:20We've been over this. Can you just get me water or something?
15:27I won't be long.
15:41Surprise!
15:42Hey!
15:43I thought we agreed to celebrate tomorrow.
15:46We did.
15:47But I couldn't wait and then I remembered that I can drive again.
15:50Did you sort out your mystery work thing?
15:53Not exactly.
15:54Lacey keeps letting that creep Holden hang around.
15:58Is that what I've called you about?
15:59Yeah.
16:00Why didn't you just tell me that's what it was?
16:02Because you were having such a nice day and I didn't want to ruin it for you.
16:07Aww.
16:08Well, now that I'm here, why don't we do something?
16:11You know, we could go for a walk, get a coffee, find a really busy spot,
16:15buy some strangers and wave at them, because I could do that now.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:21I'm not really in the mood.
16:23Really?
16:24I wish we could just hide out in here.
16:29Well, as much as I loved our friends with benefits era,
16:34we're much more now.
16:38Do you reckon we could still be friends with benefits even though we're married?
16:41Yeah.
16:42Yeah?
16:42We absolutely can.
16:46Oh, hang on, hang on.
16:49Maybe next time though we don't waste money on motels, let's just do this at home.
16:54Wasn't that expensive?
16:55Yeah, but these places charge way too much for what they are.
16:58And what's that?
17:00Not exactly five star.
17:02Five.
17:03Are you ready?
17:05Yeah.
17:18Thanks again for defending me, by the way.
17:21Yeah, I can do it for anyone.
17:22We really know how to put him in his place.
17:24Serves him right for picking and choosing his clients.
17:30Serves him right?
17:33Sorry, don't listen to me.
17:36I'm not in the right headspace, not with everything else I'm dealing with.
17:39Show me your phone holder.
17:42Lacey, I didn't send that text if that's what you're thinking.
17:45Prove it.
17:47Lacey, hang on, just let me explain-
17:49No, no, no.
17:49You listen to me.
17:51I don't want to see you again.
17:53Don't call me.
17:54Don't come anywhere near here.
17:55Do you understand?
18:07Man, I hope this treatment does what it's meant to do.
18:10Yeah.
18:12I'm Sonny's emergency contact.
18:15He's gonna need me when he's in that rehab centre.
18:17He's gonna need me even more when he gets out.
18:19I'm assuming he doesn't know.
18:21No.
18:22If the radiation therapy does what it's meant to do, he'll never need to.
18:25You know, he's got a lot of good people surrounding him.
18:28It's not just up to you.
18:29I've got one less right now.
18:31You dumped Dana.
18:32Really?
18:34Well, all the more reason to take care of yourself.
18:36Or better yet, let other people take care of you.
18:38Otherwise, you're useless to something.
18:41Do you understand that?
18:44Hey.
18:46I've got you something to eat as well.
18:50So, I've been thinking about you staying at our place.
18:53Eat and drop, please.
18:54No, I won't bother you.
18:55I'll give you all the space that you need.
18:57I...
18:58Can I talk to you?
19:01Sure.
19:07You gotta chill.
19:09He can sense how worried you are and it's not helping.
19:12I'm just trying to support him.
19:14I can see that.
19:14Yeah, so why are you judging me?
19:16I'm not judging you.
19:17You're an amazing friend.
19:19But you gotta stop pushing him to do what you wanna do.
19:23Listen, why don't you just head home, take a break.
19:26I'm gonna make sure he's okay.
19:35It's official.
19:37Back to reality.
19:38Will you take a seat and make your coffee?
19:40You've been quiet today.
19:42Time.
19:43Hi.
19:44So, the motel.
19:46And the dress.
19:49Sorry if today was silly.
19:50What are you talking about?
19:52I had fun.
19:53Even if it was a bit expensive?
19:55It was fine as a one-time thing.
19:57I mean, paying for a room ten minutes away from home could get old quickly, but...
20:01Oh, okay.
20:02Okay.
20:03Don't worry.
20:03I get it.
20:05Motels are tacky and expensive.
20:06I won't buy the next phone.
20:11Just...
20:12Check it out, huh?
20:14Doesn't it look good?
20:15Mm-hmm.
20:15I mean, yeah.
20:16It looks normal.
20:17Hmm?
20:18Is that your idea of a compliment?
20:19Sorry.
20:20Sorry, Levi.
20:21Said that you were really excited to get it off.
20:23I mean, you must be feeling amazing.
20:25When did you talk to Levi?
20:27I, uh...
20:28I called to ask how he's settling in with the new job.
20:31Yeah.
20:31Oh.
20:32And?
20:33Yeah.
20:33Yeah.
20:34Yeah, yeah.
20:35He's good.
20:36Yeah.
20:36That's good.
20:37I'm really glad that someone's day is working out.
20:44Hey, what's with you?
20:45You okay?
20:48Eden?
20:50Yeah.
20:51Yeah, I'm all good.
20:52Fine.
20:53Do you want to try that again?
