00:00Bow down
00:04Okay, so much has happened to classic Shortland Street, an absolute hive of drama and hotbed of goss
00:09Esther got another heart and yep, you think she'd be happy
00:11But Marty snakily moved her up the transplant list and she was not actually happy at all
00:15Eru, the guy whose wife was supposed to get the heart, not happy either
00:18But he picked the wrong time and place to bring that up because boom, insmacked a helicopter into the CEO's
00:23office
00:24He got injured and Esther saved Marty instead of him. Even Stevens, even worse
00:28Esther, lovely pregnant Esther, well, who knows if she's still pregnant after all of that
00:33Monique and Naz, how are they? Well, he didn't love it when she told him she was having Marty's baby
00:37Are they still engaged? I don't know. I mean, they left separately, so you do the math
00:41Nicole and Maeve got divorced, Maeve slept with Phil, who was kind of still sleeping with Villy
00:45Maeve got drunk, like all the time, and leapt off the hospital balcony
00:48Well, almost, Gia stopped her, but still Cassie decided maybe it wasn't such a hot idea to be living with
00:53Maeve
00:53So took her baby and skipped town
00:55Poppy's mum showed up, turns out her and Emmett used to be a thing, and kind of became a thing
00:59again
00:59Poppy was not a fan of that. Speaking of Poppy, her little bestie Cleo got absolutely hurled off the roof
01:04by Poppy's psycho ex-boyfriend Hendrix, but Cleo managed to grab a button off his jacket before she fell
01:09Logan held onto that because, well, memories
01:11And when do you think he realised it belonged to Hendrix? When he was stuck in the helicopter with him
01:14That's why it crashed, because they had a fight
01:16And the pilot got knocked out
01:18Logan's leg got absolutely skewered, and he and Dawn were stuck up in the wreck, and then the damn wreck
01:23blew up
01:24Oh my god, I haven't even said why there was a helicopter up there in the first place
01:27There was a crazy virus tearing through the hospital, and Selena was pretty much on her deathbed, and Chris was
01:32all like
01:32I love you, I can't lose you, and made a deal with Lynch, the big dodgy drug company to get
01:37this life-saving medicine
01:38And the doses were in the helicopter
01:41Anyway, when it crashed, Hendrix escaped, but he had this massive fight with Poppy, like really hectic and violent
01:46And Poppy almost killed him with a chair, but Chris came in just in time to stop it
01:50Classic Chris
01:51What else?
01:52Oh, Dawn rolled back into town, but even though she loves Logan, she got high and slept with Vili
01:56And all three of them were mad about that
01:58While we're on the subject of crazy threes, Sage, Mana, Bonnie
02:01What was going on there?
02:03Did Mana love Sage?
02:04Did Mana love Bonnie?
02:05Nobody knew, least of all Mana
02:07But at least he apologised for mucking them both around before he got intubated and wheeled out of there
02:11Drew and Phil
02:12Everyone knew that something was going to happen with those two
02:15Phil got stabbed in the lift by a furious patient
02:17And Drew was like her own personal hero and saved her
02:19They kissed, aww, finally
02:21And then he freaked out and ran away
02:22There's that helicopter
02:23Boom!
02:24Ah, okay, that's it
02:25Welcome back to Shortland Street
02:28Even while grieving their colleagues, my people went above and beyond what was asked of them
02:33But it came at a price
02:34We lost some of our best doctors after the lockdown
02:39Drew McCaskill resigned, one of our best surgeons
02:42As did our most promising senior registrar in ED, Dr Gia Tiatakura
02:46Well as Te Manuanui, dedicated nurse practitioner
02:50These are passionate, highly skilled health professionals who were pushed to breaking point
02:55We were under-resourced
02:58Understaffed, completely unprepared for the virus
03:03The New Zealand Health Department abandoned Shortland Street during the outbreak
03:10Even if the ministry has turned its back on us, I will not do the same thing
03:14To the people who work at Shortland Street
03:20Thank you for joining me this morning
03:30My name is Rachel McKenna and I'm the new CEO
03:34I thought I might recognise some old faces
03:38But it seems the only one here is mine
03:41Firstly, I'd like to recognise this has been a tumultuous time for all of you
03:47Joining me as we step into a new year is our new Head of Surgery, Dr Ashad
03:53Dr Whitman will be heading up ED
03:57And our new Acute Rapid Care Clinic will be led by Dr Walker
04:02Stretched apartments will be bolstered by a new intake of nurses
04:06Taking over as CEO, I will make sure this hospital, my hospital, will offer the exemplary care that the New
04:14Zealand public deserve
04:22Libby's blowing up your phone
04:23Oh, thank you
04:25Libby, sorry I couldn't, um
04:27Don't panic
04:29Okay, I'm not panicking, what's the problem?
04:32The new CEO has made some changes
04:34Who is it?
04:36She has appointed new, hot, HODs, handsome new nurses, TPC on their attractiveness
04:40Libby, who is the new CEO?
04:42Oh my god, it's Rachel McKenna, they brought her back, I thought you should know
04:46Are you okay, darling?
04:49Oh, oh, love you mum, bye
04:52Hold any calls this morning, I'll be working down here
04:55Absolutos
05:00What's wrong?
05:03We have to get back to Shortland Street
05:10You don't really need me for moral support, do you?
05:12Of course I do, you make me look good
05:15Wait, because I make such a bad first impression, it'll make you look better?
05:19Rude
05:21Morena, sorry to have kept you all waiting
05:24Oh, I'm good, I'm all good
05:28Maeve
05:28Maeve
05:29Cody
05:30Hi
05:31Morena, I'm Cindy
05:35God, what is this, high school work experience?
05:37No, graduated nursing school last year
05:39Keen as
05:40I want to meet that lockdown guy though
05:42Chris Warner, right?
05:44Yeah
05:44Yeah, famous fella
05:45Ah, you've got some blue eyes, eh?
05:48So you're all juniors
05:50Oh no, god no
05:51Mm-mm
05:52Great
05:53Great
05:54Ah, this is Dr.
05:56McStankey
05:56I am Dr. McStankey
05:58And before you ask
05:59Yes, it is Scottish
06:01So no teasing me about it
06:04Right
06:05Ah, follow me
06:06Get out of me, swamp
06:14Yeah, this isn't gonna work
06:16They're not gonna buy it
06:19Look, I gotta go
06:20I gotta go, I'll call you back
06:21Yeah
06:23Oh, come on, I asked for a 6-0
06:24And I just had a 3-0
06:26Um, you headed this department on me
06:28Oof, he's gone back to factory settings
06:30I think it's always like that
06:31Are you kidding?
06:32That guy's gonna pop a vein
06:33I don't know, it's probably some gross foreplay thing
06:36Well, whatever it is
06:37Your mother doesn't seem too happy about it
06:39Well, it's not like the duds we date
06:41Or don't actually date
06:43You just freak out about their sexuality
06:45Then run a mile
06:46You heard from Anna?
06:47No
06:48I like to imagine he's gone to a remote lighthouse
06:50On the coast
06:51Or somewhere to figure himself out
06:52But I think he's just in Rotorua
06:54Yeah, he did not deserve you
06:56I know
06:5812 o'clock
06:59Flamingo is landing
07:03Poppy Achari?
07:04Mm-hmm
07:04I've heard a lot about you
07:06From who?
07:08Being back here must be difficult
07:10I can't imagine all your memories in this place are good ones
07:13It's fine
07:13Well, I hope you'll find some comfort
07:15Knowing that I will personally ensure
07:17That all new employees are thoroughly screened in the future
07:20I don't think you can detect psychopathy in a job interview
07:23But thanks for checking in
07:24Right
07:25Well, if there's anything you need, let me know
07:30I like her
07:31She's got the x-factor
07:33Have you done the meds for the guy in Cube 4?
07:35I think we should swear off men for a bit
07:37Well, you can't swear off Cube 4
07:39He's got abdo pain and a whiffy attitude
07:41No, I'm serious
07:42You know, I want to move up in this world
07:43And men are just a distraction
07:44You know, I want to be DON one day
07:47Really?
07:47Or CEO
07:48You know, stalking the halls in a pencil skirt like McKenna
07:51Nah, you'd love the power too much
07:52Who would?
07:54Yeah, okay, I'm in
07:56What?
07:57No men
07:57Yeah, yeah, no way
07:59This is the flight desk
08:00Do not answer this phone, okay?
08:02This phone is not for you
08:04Move it
08:05Christ's sake
08:07Man
08:08That was Emmett
08:09H-O-D-A-V-E-D
08:11Do not piss him off
08:12And that is Sage
08:14Any questions and you can't find me
08:15Here's your guy
08:16Hi, I'm Sage
08:20Maybe I've literally just said that
08:21And this is Poppy
08:22But, um, welcome to E-D
08:23I really hope it's nice for you in here
08:25Well, you know, not nice
08:26Because it is work, obviously
08:28And it is E-D
08:30But I hope you guys work hard, you know
08:32Not that I'm your new boss
08:34Or anything
08:35But you guys are new
08:36So
08:39Quite the welcome
08:41Yeah
08:43Okay, moving on
08:49I can't believe you
08:51What?
08:52Two seconds
08:53And you've already bailed on our pact
08:54Can't trust anyone around here
09:03Did you know?
09:04Of course I didn't know, Chris
09:06Well, she hasn't told us for a reason
09:07God knows what she's doing here
09:09You know I can't come back yet
09:11I'm just not ready
09:11I'm not asking you to
09:13Well, it's not so terrible
09:15She did great things in the States
09:16You kept tabs
09:18You're telling me you didn't?
09:21We miss you
09:22Yeah, I miss you too
09:24But you have this under control
09:26You always do
09:28GS is high
09:28Hi, Gia
09:30Taikete, darlings
09:31Taikete
09:35Well, she's not ready
09:36I know
09:38Sorry
09:39That was, um
09:40I'm just stressed
09:42About what I'm walking into here
09:44No, I get it
09:45Okay, I'm sorry
09:47She didn't tell me she was coming back
09:49Well, there's nothing you can do
09:50Until we get there
09:51We're on the next flight
09:52So just try to relax if you can
09:54The hospital needs stability
09:55Well, maybe Rachel can bring that
09:58I doubt it
10:01But whatever it is she's doing
10:03She's sure as hell not
10:04Taking Shuler's treat off me
10:08Look, I know what I did was wrong
10:10You're lucky I haven't reported you
10:11To the medical council
10:11For falsifying results
10:13Thank you for that
10:15And I know
10:15No, you know nothing
10:17And if you're hoping for a fresh start
10:18Now that I'm back
10:19I'm afraid you're out of luck
10:21Copy that
10:24Dr. Rashad
10:26How can I help?
10:27How's your first day back going?
10:28Well, since I've been away
10:29We've lost two surgeons
10:30Bereavement, leave and burnout
10:32And now you're wanting to slow down
10:34Discharges on the wards
10:35With this patient satisfaction score
10:36It worked well in the States
10:38That's where we're taking our cues from
10:40Well, this survey
10:41Significantly increased performance
10:42Across the junior staff
10:44It's a great incentive
10:44When you can't be everywhere at once
10:46As an HOD
10:47We'll see about the changes
10:48Once Dr. Warner returns
10:49I'd like his opinion
10:50Before I commit
10:51You don't need Chris Warner
10:52To hold your hand, Dr. Rashad
10:53I gave you this position for a reason
11:01Yes, the new nurses
11:02Are you fresh graduates?
11:04Yep
11:05Are you the big boss?
11:07I'm the CEO, yes
11:08Cool, yeah
11:09You give me legit pal vibes
11:12Don't find me jokes
11:13But, you know
11:14Doctor
11:20Choice shoes, bro
11:21Yeah, they're great, eh?
11:23They're designed to support
11:24The natural movement of the foot
11:25During walking
11:25There's actually a study day
11:27On the benefits of toe shoes
11:28Uh, Maddie
11:29Will my fiancée be able to dance with me tonight?
11:32Sorry, I wouldn't recommend dancing
11:34But standing should be fine
11:35But you will want to give yourself regular sitting breaks
11:38You don't want to overload the incision line
11:39When it's just starting to heal
11:41Alright, I'll be at my desk if you need me
11:43I touch you, no one in my world
11:44Marty does
11:45You just ignore him
11:47I think he is still processing everything
11:48Alright, cool
11:51So no word from Billy?
11:53Nah, not that that's anything new
11:55He's not going to miss your engagement party, okay?
11:57Selina said he would be here
11:59And she is never wrong
12:00Yeah
12:02I'm not going to let you lose your bestie lungs
12:04McKenna-san
12:05Konnichiwa
12:06Hi
12:07Maeve, are you coming tonight?
12:09I think so
12:10Come on, Mills
12:11Give us a full yes
12:12How's your first day been?
12:14Excellent
12:14Could not ask for better
12:15Great
12:16I need a favour
12:17Sure
12:18Anything
12:18So you've worked closely with Dr. Rashad
12:21And I understand you are friends
12:22I need him to be happy with the changes I've implemented
12:26Okay
12:27I'm not sure how I can help with that
12:28Make sure he's in a good headspace
12:29We can't afford to lose another senior surgeon
12:32I want it
12:39You guys got chemistry
12:42Sorry?
12:43You and the Kaifaka Haide
12:44Oosh
12:46Oh
12:47Please come
12:48Please for Logan
12:51Okay
12:52Yes, I will be there
12:53I will see you both at the party
12:55You are an angel
12:56Holy Wottems
12:57I've told you
12:58I don't need a C-section
12:59Go away
13:00A C-section is your safest option if your labour doesn't progress
13:03No
13:04It is happening the normal way
13:06Naturally
13:06I assure you a C-section is very normal
13:09I hate him
13:12Okay, Holly
13:13We still have a window for a low intervention birth
13:16If that's what you would like
13:17We can take you to wards and see if we can make that possible
13:19Yeah
13:21Okay
13:21Well, good
13:23Thanks
13:24Thanks, I guess
13:25You're welcome
13:27Ow!
13:28Ooh!
13:29Get her to maternity
13:34Thanks for that
13:35Wish she was going to rip my hair out
13:36I don't really do that sometimes
13:39Women
13:40Patients
13:41Especially ones with rigid birth plans
13:43True
13:48Don't worry about him
13:50Well, it's been a day of people staring and whispering
13:52I'm used to it
13:53Sorry to steal your thunder
13:55But nothing beats my drama around here
13:57Is that right?
13:59Ex-boyfriend on trial for murder
14:00Pretty sure that trumps whatever it is you've got going on
14:04Wild rumours about my extremely public breakup?
14:07Small fries
14:08You mean small fry?
14:10That's going to feed anyone
14:12So you really did the classic, huh?
14:15Sorry?
14:16Break-up bangs
14:17Break-up buzz cut
14:19Bit of a Britney
14:20Hey, looks good
14:21Thanks
14:24So, um, you coming tonight to Dawn and Logan's?
14:26Are you?
14:28Yeah
14:28You should come
14:30Well, Pete
14:31Move it, you walrus
14:35I'll be there
14:40Order a seat he had for Peter, please, saucy
14:42Let us go easy on the pet names
14:44It's a place of work
14:45You left this on the trolley again
14:47Give me that
14:48Chill out
14:49Nothing in there I want to see
15:04Saucy
15:05Hello, dolly
15:06My precious little girl
15:08Can you even see all those big googly eyes?
15:11No, I don't think so
15:13Whoa, whoa
15:14Hey
15:17Oh, crap
15:17No, it's just Prosecco
15:19And we're fine
15:20Everyone's fine, right?
15:23You know what?
15:24I think I might just hang back
15:27No
15:27Yeah, I'm sorry
15:28I'll tip this out
15:29I'll be sober
15:30No, see?
15:31Yeah, she'll go sober with you
15:32No, no, no
15:32Honestly, it's not about you guys drinking
15:34It's just, um
15:35I don't want everyone staring at me all night
15:37Like I'm about to chug a bottle of wine
15:39Well, I'll stay back with you
15:40No, I cannot walk in there alone like a freak
15:42You will be fine without me
15:48I won't be long
15:49Uh-huh
15:50Hey, just leave your bags here for now
15:53Yes, thank you
15:54Yeah, because it's not very much of a power move
15:56You're rolling your suitcase into Rachel's office
15:58No, you're right
15:59Yeah, um, see you at Molly's
16:01Yeah, see you there
16:02Hey
16:03I love you
16:04I love you too
16:05Good luck
16:06I'll need it
16:07Oh, no
16:08Chris Warner always gets his way
16:09Oh, don't know about that
16:11Text me when you're coming
16:12Yeah, of course
16:13It's just conversation
16:15Then I'm out of there
16:25Hey, maybe we should think about doing the speeches soon
16:27A couple more minutes
16:31Congratulations
16:32Aw
16:34Congratulations
16:35Hey, um, if you could get Billy here
16:37That would be like the best winning present in the world
16:40Well, he said he was coming
16:41Yeah, but look at his sad little face
16:44Okay, I'll give him a call
16:48Hey, here's to us
16:49What?
16:51New HODs
16:52Fresh starts
16:53Yeah, for you, maybe
16:56How was Pakistan?
16:57Leave me alone, Marty
16:59You've just given me like a month of radio silence
17:02Are you serious?
17:04How was Pakistan?
17:06Okay
17:07Pakistan was amazing
17:08My family disowned me
17:10My father refused to speak to me at the time of my life
17:12Oh, man, why didn't you tell me?
17:15Sorry
17:15Am I interrupting?
17:17No
17:17Not at all
17:18Would you like a drink?
17:19Sure
17:22Oh, sure
17:24Congratulations
17:25Hey, let's just get started
17:28I don't want to party, eh?
17:29Yeah, okay
17:31Uh, excuse me, guys
17:37Oi, listen up
17:38My loggy bear's talking to you all
18:08Yeah, I just want to thank you all for coming
18:10Hey, brother
18:10Hey, brother
18:10There's your work
18:11Mate, you made it
18:13Yeah
18:14Of course I did
18:37Rachel
18:38Rachel
18:40Chris. Hi. Would you like to take a seat? Not really. Okay. How can I help you? Help me? Why
18:51are you here? Shorten Street needed a CEO. You couldn't have warned me? Is that part of the job description?
19:00So what are all these changes? I've hardly done anything drastic, Chris. I had to appoint a new HOD for
19:06surgical. As medical director, that falls under my supervision.
19:09You weren't here. I wasn't here. You can't be serious. The team needed a leader. I consulted with the senior
19:16surgeons and Nazar Ashad was nominated.
19:18You're unbelievable. You know this? Chris. I can't hear you. Yeah, I said it's nice of you to show. Oh
19:33yeah, no worries.
19:34Oi. I haven't seen you in months. I will catch you up at home, okay?
19:39What, Billy? Hey, just go and talk to him. He's too busy. Getting busy.
19:43No, he is here for you. Yeah, you reckon?
19:48I'm sorry. It's not your fault. You told him the right time? Bobby, he's coming. He might be a grouch,
19:54but he's a reliable one.
19:55Right.
19:57Look, maybe you should text him. Remind him. Me? Why me?
20:01Please, Bobby.
20:03He's not my boyfriend.
20:05Fine, I guess I can do it myself.
20:07Yeah.
20:07Good.
20:12That him?
20:14Sorry, darling. Just not in the party mood tonight.
20:16Hey, I love you. You deserve the best.
20:25No, that's crazy, because I've actually got a mate who lives there.
20:33Wow. Leg must really take people all over the world.
20:36Well, can do if you're a pro.
20:39Phil, um, this is Billy with Nat.
20:42That's one way of putting it.
20:45Okay, well, I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
20:47Oh, watch out in there. Phil might try her signature. Move on you.
20:50Okay.
20:52What the hell?
20:53I can't believe you showed her face like this.
20:55Me? You know, it's not my fault that Drew left.
20:58You keep telling yourself that.
20:59I'm just as gutted as you are. I thought you'd have my back.
21:01Your back? Drew's my best mate.
21:04Well, and I'm not your friend?
21:05You don't have friends, Phil.
21:10What was that?
21:13Jesus Christ.
21:16Sorry, Dolly.
21:17Hang on.
21:18Don't go down there.
21:20Oh, my God.
21:21Oh, my God.
21:38I'm not going to get scared.
21:40No, I'm not five.
21:42Good, because I am not turning it up.
21:48Is this helping?
21:49You know what?
21:51I'm kind of good.
21:52Really?
21:54Yeah.
21:54I'm good.
22:01Mate, we didn't finish our chat.
22:03We did.
22:05I just don't understand.
22:07I thought we were closer than whatever this is.
22:10I'm going to get another drink.
22:14I don't have anything to say.
22:16Really?
22:17It's new?
22:17The man of the hour to you and Dawn.
22:24What?
22:25Nothing.
22:27Say what you want to say.
22:28I love you, Lokes.
22:29Let's just leave it at that.
22:30No, you can't come here just to say that.
22:33Fine.
22:35You're really going to marry her?
22:37What's that supposed to mean?
22:38Come on.
22:38She's the love of my life, you dick.
22:40You can't trust her.
22:41Shut up, man.
22:42It's the truth.
22:43You deserve better.
22:44We all know it.
22:45What happened between you two?
22:46Drop it.
22:47Just talk to me, mate.
22:48I'm here for you.
22:49I'm serious, Marty.
22:49Go away.
22:50Why can't you just be happy for me?
22:52I'm telling you the truth, all right?
22:53It's not my fault you don't want to hear it.
22:54I'm serious, Marty.
22:55Go away.
22:57Guys, don't do this again.
22:58I told you to leave it alone.
22:59How about I tell you how Maugham feels about it?
23:01Shut up.
23:02What the hell?
23:02Get off of me, hey?
23:04Hey, enough!
23:05What is wrong with you?
23:06Cut it out.
23:07Hey, don't give him any more to cost me about.
23:21Why don't you tell me what this is really about?
23:24Playing dumb doesn't suit you, Rachel.
23:27I chose myself, okay?
23:29I'm sorry if I wanted more from my life.
23:32You wanted more.
23:33Also, why did you bother marrying me?
23:35You know, I would have gone to the ends of the earth to make you happy, and it still wasn't
23:39enough.
23:40I just don't know what you want me to say.
23:42You could start with an apology.
23:43An apology?
23:45Really, nothing.
23:45You have nothing.
23:46I left because I needed to.
23:48I left because I needed to.
23:49I was sick.
23:50My son died?
23:52And all I got from you was a phone call?
23:55A phone call?
23:56I'm sorry for everything that happened.
23:58I'm sorry for everything that happened.
23:59You know I am.
24:01And Harry...
24:01Oh, no, no.
24:02You don't get to pass judgment on Harry.
24:04You left him just as much as you left me.
24:06If you have a problem with me being here, then you can leave.
24:09Oh, because you're staying this time.
24:10I am.
24:11You have no right to be here.
24:13I'm the CEO, Chris.
24:18I will never, ever let you take my hospital from me.
24:21It is not your hospital anymore.
24:24We're not done.
24:25Good night, Chris.
24:27Good night, Chris.
24:44Good night.
