00:00I bow 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
00:19But he picked the wrong time and place to bring that up because boom in smack the helicopter into the
00:23CEO's office
00:24He got injured and Esther saved Marty instead of him even Stevens even worse
00:29Esther lovely pregnant Esther well who knows if she's still pregnant after all of that
00:33Monique and Naz how are they?
00:34Well, he didn't love it when she told him she was having Marty's baby. Are they still engaged?
00:38I don't know. I mean they left separately so you do the math Nicole and Maeve got divorced Maeve slept
00:43with Phil who was kind of still sleeping with
00:45Villy Maeve got drunk like all the time and leapt off the hospital balcony
00:49Well 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 mom showed up turns out her and Emmett used to be a thing and kind of became a thing
00:59again
01:00Poppy 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
01:06But Cleo managed to grab a button off his jacket before she fell
01:09Logan held on to that because well memories and when do you think he realized it belonged to Hendrix when
01:13he was stuck in the helicopter with him?
01:14That's why it crashed because they had a fight and the pilot got knocked out
01:18Logan's lead got absolutely skewered and he and dawn was 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
01:33I love you
01:33I can't lose you and made a deal with lynch the big dodgy drug company to get this life-saving
01:38medicine and 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 and
01:47Poppy almost killed him with a chair
01:48But Chris came in just in time to stop it. Classic Chris. What else? Oh Dawn rolled back into town
01:53But even though she loves Logan she got high and slept with Vili and all three of them were mad
01:57about that
01:58While we're on the subject of crazy threes Sage, Mana, Bonnie. What was going on there?
02:03Did Mana love Sage? Did Mana love Bonnie? Nobody knew least of all Mana
02:07But at least he apologized for mucking them both around before he got intubated and wheeled out of there Drew
02:12and Phil
02:13Everyone knew that something was going to happen with those two
02:15Phil got stabbed in the left by a furious patient and Drew was like her own personal hero and saved
02:19her they kissed
02:20Finally and then he freaked out and ran away. There's the helicopter
02:24Okay, that's it. Welcome back to Shortland Street
02:28Even while grieving their colleagues my people went above and beyond what was asked of them, but it came at
02:34a price
02:34We lost some of our best doctors after the lockdown
02:39Drew McCaskill resigned one of our best surgeons as that our most promising senior registrar and ed dr. Gia Tiatakura
02:46Well, it's Tamanu Anui dedicated nurse practitioner. These are passionate highly skilled health professionals who were pushed to breaking point
02:55We were under-resourced
02:58Understaffed completely unprepared for the virus
03:04The new zealand health department abandoned shortland street during the outbreak

06:41Well, don't actually date you just freak out about their sexuality then run a mile
06:46You heard from mana?
06:48No
06:48I like to imagine he's gone to a remote lighthouse on the coast or somewhere to figure himself out
06:53But I think he's just in a tour
06:55Yeah, he did not deserve you
06:56I know
06:5912 o'clock
07:00Flamingo 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
07:14Well, I hope you'll find some comfort knowing that I will personally ensure that all new employees are thoroughly screened
07:19in the future
07:20I don't think you can detect psychopathy in a job interview, but thanks for checking in
07:24Right, well, if there's anything you need, let me know
07:30I like her, she's got the X factor
07:33Have you, um, done the meds for the guy in Cube 4?
07:36I think we should swear off men for a bit
07:37Well, he can't swear off Cube 4, he's got abdo pain and a whiffy attitude
07:41No, I'm serious, you know, I want to move up in this world
07:43And men are just a distraction, you know, I want to be DON one day
07:46Really?
07:48Or CEO, you know, stalking the halls in a pencil skirt like McKenna
07:51Nah, you'd love the power too much
07:53Who would?
07:54Yeah, okay, I'm in
07:56What?
07:57No men
07:58Yeah, yeah, no way
07:59This is the flight desk
08:01Do not answer this phone, okay? This phone is not for you
08:04Move it
08:06Christ's sake
08:07Man
08:08That was Emmett
08:09H-O-D of E-D
08:11Do not piss him off
08:12And that is Sage
08:14Any questions and you can't find me, here's your guy
08:17Hi, um, I'm Sage
08:20Maybe literally just said that
08:21And this is Poppy
08:22But, um, welcome to E-D
08:24I really hope it's nice for you in here
08:26Well, you know, not nice because it is work obviously
08:29And it is E-D
08:30But I, I, I hope you guys work hard, you know
08:32Not that I'm your new boss or anything
08:35But you guys are new
08:37So
08:40Quite the welcome
08:41Yeah
08:43Okay, moving on
08:49I can't believe you
08:51What?
08:52Two seconds and you've already bailed on our pact
08:54Can't trust anyone around, yeah?
09:03Did you know?
09:04Of course I didn't know, Chris
09:06Well, she hasn't told us for a reason
09:08God knows what she's doing here
09:10You know I can't come back yet
09:11I'm just not ready
09:12I'm not asking you to
09:13Well, it's not so terrible
09:15She did great things in the States
09:17You kept tabs?
09:18You're telling me you didn't?
09:22We miss you
09:23Yeah, I miss you too
09:24But you have this under control
09:26You always do
09:28Gia says hi
09:29Hi, Gia
09:30Ka kite, darlings
09:31Ka kite
09:35What? She's not ready
09:36I know
09:38Sorry
09:40That was, um
09:41I'm just stressed about what I'm walking into here
09:45No, I get it
09:46Okay, I'm sorry
09:48She didn't tell me she was coming back
09:49Look, there's nothing you can do until we get there
09:51We're on the next flight
09:52So just try to relax if you can
09:54The hospital needs stability
09:56Well, maybe Rachel can bring that
09:59I doubt it
10:01But whatever it is she's doing
10:03She's sure as hell not taking Shawland Street off me
10:09Look, I know what I did was wrong
10:10You're lucky I haven't reported you to the medical council for falsifying results
10:13Thank you for that
10:15And I know
10:16No, you know nothing
10:17And if you're hoping for a fresh start now that I'm back
10:19I'm afraid you're out of luck
10:22Copy that
10:24Dr. Rashad
10:26How can I help?
10:27How's your first day back going?
10:28Well, since I've been away we've lost two surgeons bereavement leave and burnout
10:32And now you're wanting to slow down discharges on the wards with this patient satisfaction score
10:37It worked well in the states
10:38That's where we're taking our cues from
10:40What this survey significantly increased performance across the junior staff
10:44It's a great incentive when you can't be everywhere at once as an HOD
10:47We'll see about the changes once Dr. Warner returns
10:49I'd like his opinion before I commit
10:51You don't need Chris Warner to hold your hand Dr. Rashad
10:54I gave you this position for a reason
11:01These are new nurses
11:03Are 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 power vibes
11:12Don't find me jokes
11:14But you know, don't
11:20Troy shoes, bro
11:22Yeah, they're great, eh?
11:23They're designed to support the natural movement of the foot during walking
11:26There's actually a study done on the benefits of toe shoes
11:28Uh, Marty
11:30Will my fiance be able to dance with me tonight?
11:32Sorry, I wouldn't recommend dancing
11:34But standing should be fine
11:36But you will want to give yourself regular sitting breaks
11:38You don't want to overload the incision line when it's just starting to heal
11:41All right, I'll be at my desk if you need me
11:43I touch you no longer my while, Marty this
11:45You just ignore him
11:47I think he is still processing everything
11:49All right, cool
11:51So no word from Billy?
11:53Not that that's anything new
11:55He's not going to miss your engagement party, okay?
11:58Selena said he would be here and she is never wrong
12:00Yeah
12:02I'm not going to let you lose your bestie lungs
12:05McKenna-san, konnichiwa
12:07Hi
12:07Maeve, are you coming tonight?
12:09I think so
12:10Come on, Melz, give us a full yes
12:13How's your first day been?
12:14Excellent, could not ask for better
12:16Great, I need a favour
12:17Sure, anything
12:19So you've worked closely with Dr. Rashad and I understand you are friends
12:23I need him to be happy with the changes I've implemented
12:26Okay, I'm not sure how I can help you
12:28Make sure he's in a good head space
12:30We can't afford to lose another senior surgeon
12:32I want it
12:40You guys got chemistry
12:42Sorry?
12:43You and the Kaifaka hiding
12:45Oosh
12:46Oh, please come
12:49Please for Logan
12:50Okay
12:52Yes
12:52I will be there
12:53I will see you both at the party
12:55You are an angel
12:56Holly Wattums
12:57I've told you I 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
13:07I 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
13:20Yeah
13:21Okay
13:21Well, good
13:24Thanks, I guess
13:25You're welcome
13:27Ow!
13:28Ooh!
13:29Uh, get her to maternity
13:34Thanks for that
13:35I thought she was going to rip my hair out
13:37I don't really do that sometimes
13:39Women
13:41Patients
13:41Especially ones with rigid birth plans
13:44True
13:49Don't worry about him
13:50It's been a day of people staring and whispering
13:53I'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
14:01Pretty sure that trumps whatever it is you've got going on
14:04Wild rumours about my extremely public breakup
14:07Small fries
14:09You mean small fry?
14:10I don't think that's going to feed anyone
14:12So you really did the classic, huh?
14:15Sorry?
14:16Breakup bangs
14:18Breakup buzz cut
14:19Bit of a Britney
14:20Hey, looks good
14:21Thanks
14:24So, um, you coming tonight to Dawn and Logan's?
14:27Are you?
14:28Yeah
14:28You should come
14:30Bye, Pete
14:31Move at your walrus
14:35I'll be there
14:40Order a seat you have for Peter, please, Saucy
14:43They just go easy on the pet names
14:44It's a place of work
14:46You left this on the trolley again
14:48Give me that
14:48Chill out
14:49Nothing in there I want to see
14:56Saucy
15:05Hello, dolly
15:06My precious little girl
15:08Yes, can you even see all those big googly eyes?
15:11No, I don't think so
15:13Oh, whoa
15:14Oh, crap
15:18No, 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
15:28Yeah, I'm sorry
15:29Oh, sorry, I'll be sober
15:30No, see, yeah
15:31She'll go sober with you
15:32No, no, no, no, no
15:33Honestly, 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
15:49But move you along
15:50Uh-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, I love you
16:04I love you too
16:05Good luck
16:06I'll need it
16:07Oh, no, Chris Warner always gets his way
16:10Oh, don't know about that
16:11Text me when you're coming
16:12Yeah, of course
16:13It's just conversation, then I'm out of there
16:25Hey, maybe we should think about doing the speeches soon
16:27A couple more minutes
16:32Congratulations
16:32Aww
16:34Congratulations
16:35Hey, um, if you could get Vili 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
16:45Okay
16:48Hey, here's to us
16:50What?
16:52New 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
17:03Are you serious?
17:05How was Pakistan?
17:06Okay
17:07Pakistan was amazing
17:08My family disowned me
17:10My father refused to speak to me
17:11I had the time of my life
17:12Well, mate, what didn't you tell me?
17:15Sorry, am I interrupting?
17:17No, not at all
17:18Would you like a drink?
17:20Sure
17:23Oh, sure
17:25Congratulations, you're a hot bag
17:27Hey, let's just get started
17:28I want to party, eh?
17:29Yeah, okay
17:32Uh, excuse me, guys
17:38Oi, listen up
17:39My lobby bear's talking to you all
17:42Yeah, I just want to thank you all for coming
17:43Um, it's been really mean so far
17:45Oh, shit

17:52Yeah, for real
17:53Sorry, bro

17:55Um, do you guys mind?
17:57Nah, it's all good
17:59Uh, okay
18:02Uh, I think we should all party
18:03It's been kind of a tough year for all of us
18:06So
18:08Guys, guys, come on
18:10Sorry, fella, did you work?
18:12Mate, you made it
18:13Yeah
18:14Of course I did
18:37Rachel
18:38Rachel
18:40Chris
18:42Hi
18:44Would you like to take a seat?
18:46Not really
18:48Okay
18:49How can I help you?
18:50Help me?
18:51Why are you here?
18:53Shorten Street needed a CEO
18:55You couldn't have warned me?
18:56Is that part of the job description?
19:00So what are all these changes?
19:02I've hardly done anything drastic, Chris
19:04I had to appoint a new HOD for surgical
19:07Well, as medical director, that falls under my supervision
19:09You weren't here
19:11I wasn't here
19:12You can't be serious
19:14The team needed a leader
19:15I consulted with the senior surgeons
19:17And Nazar Ashad was nominated
19:18You're unbelievable, you know that?
19:20Chris
19:28I can't hear you
19:30Yeah, I said it's nice of you to show
19:33Oh, yeah, no worries
19:34Oi
19:34I haven't seen you in months
19:36I will catch you up at home, okay?
19:39Billy
19:40Hey, just go and talk to him
19:42He's too busy
19:43Getting busy
19:43No, he's here for you
19:45Yeah, you reckon?
19:48I'm sorry
19:49It's not your fault
19:51You told him the right time?
19:52Bobby, he's coming
19:53He might be a grouch
19:54But he's a reliable one
19:55Right
19:58Look, maybe you should text him
19:59Remind him
20:00Me? Why me?
20:02Please, Bobby
20:03He's not my boyfriend
20:04Fine, I guess I can do it myself
20:07Yeah
20:07Good
20:12That him?
20:14Sorry, darling
20:15Just not in the party mood tonight
20:16Hey
20:18I love you
20:19And you deserve the best
20:30No, that's crazy
20:31Because I've actually got a mate
20:32Who lives there
20:33Wow
20:33Leg must really take people
20:35All over the world
20:36Well, it can do
20:36If you're a pro
20:39Phil, um

22:02We didn't finish our chat
22:03We did
22:05I just don't understand
22:07I thought
22:07We were closer than whatever this is
22:09I'm going to get another drink
22:11Thanks
22:14I don't have anything to say
22:16Really?
22:17It's new
22:17The man of the hour
22:19To you and Dawn
22:24What?
22:26Nothing
22:27Say what you want to say
22:28I love you, Lokes
22:29Let's just leave it at that
22:31Nah, you can't come here just to say that
22:33Fine
22:35You're really gonna marry her
22:36What's that supposed to mean?
22:38Come on
22:39She'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
22:50Go away
22:50Why can't you just be happy for me?
22:52I'm telling you the truth, alright?
22:54It's not my fault you don't want to hear it
22:55I'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 Mawne feels about it?
23:01Shut up
23:02What the hell?
23:03Get off me
23:03Hey, hey
23:04Enough
23:05What is wrong with you?
23:06Cut it out
23:06Hey
23:08Don'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, so why did you bother marrying me?
23:35You know, I would have gone to the ends of the earth to make you happy
23:38And it still wasn't enough
23:40I just don't know what you want me to say
23:42Well, you could start with an apology
23:43An apology?
23:45Really, nothing
23:45You have nothing
23:46I left because I needed to
23:48I 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
23:59You know I am
24:00And 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
24:22It is not your hospital anymore
24:24We're not done
24:25Good night, Chris
24:26We're not done
