Transcript
00:08I've got to admit, I was a bit surprised to get your text, so I thought I wanted to schedule
00:11off.
00:12I just wanted to be honest with you, make sure there's no mixed signals.
00:15I just can't imagine being with anyone new right now.
00:18Of course.
00:18But now that that's all cleared up, I was hoping if you're willing to maybe still just be friends.
00:25Yeah, I'd like that.
00:26Dad warned Tane of having a relationship with me if it's why we were walking up in secret.
00:31Can you just say that again, Dad did what?
00:33His first instinct when he heard about the train crash was to look for her and to make sure that
00:38she was safe.
00:39He put his own life in danger to help her.
00:42Well, what can he do?
00:43Tell me about you and Tane, and I want the truth.
00:46I've been thinking and I think I need more support with the diner.
00:50What do you mean?
00:50I need to make some changes in my life.
00:52It's too painful for me to keep seeing you if I can't be with you.
00:55I know it's hard, but I'm not ready for anything else.
00:59That's why I'm just going to get out of the bay for a while.
01:02You can move back home, I won't be there.
01:04Where are you going?
01:05Cyprus.
01:05I'm going to go and visit Vijay.
01:14Hey!
01:16Have we looked at you?
01:17Don't you usually train down at the beach?
01:19Well, it depends on the conditions.
01:20Bit windy today.
01:21Why, you want to join in?
01:23Oh, no thanks.
01:24Um, I just thought you should know that Joe got out of hospital yesterday.
01:29Right.
01:30Well, that's great.
01:32Happy for him.
01:33Um, and there's also something else you should know.
01:35Oh look, I have to get started with work, sorry.
01:37Eddie's gone.
01:39What do you mean Eddie's gone?
01:40He's gone.
01:41Left town.
01:42Never to return.
01:43Engagement's off.
01:46Well, that's rough.
01:49Well, it was the right call.
01:52I'd better get on with things.
01:54Sure.
01:55Just wanted to keep you in the loop.
02:06There's nothing to tell.
02:08Tane and I went out a few times and then Eddie came back.
02:11Well, your sister seems to think it runs deeper than that.
02:13Lacey's entitled to her opinion.
02:15Dad, did you do any shopping while I was in the hospital?
02:17The cupboards are empty.
02:18Can we please have an honest conversation?
02:20I don't see the point.
02:23Tane and I are ancient history, which I'm sure you're very happy about.
02:28Why do you say that?
02:29Well, since we're being honest, I know you warned Tane off.
02:35Well, I had concerns about the guy.
02:39And I didn't want someone making your life more complicated.
02:42Well, that wasn't your call to make.
02:45I'm sorry, but when I saw Tane's criminal record, it didn't exactly paint the best picture.
02:51Where do you stand now?
02:53Well, Lacey's made it clear that your love life is not my jurisdiction.
02:57Can you just answer the question?
03:02If you want to pursue a future with Tane, I won't stand in your way.
03:09Oh, let's be real, Dad.
03:11Your opinion is not the obstacle here.
03:13Then what is?
03:15Me.
03:17And the way that I've messed him around.
03:21Nothing turns someone off like getting engaged to another guy.
03:27So you think it's done between you two?
03:30I don't want it to be.
03:38Ah!
03:39Ah!
03:39Marilyn!
03:40We don't see you in here very often.
03:41No, on my way to work.
03:42I just thought I'd pop in.
03:44Um, you're not going back home soon, are you?
03:47Should I be?
03:48No, it's just that Leah's there.
03:50She came to see Justin.
03:52Right.
03:52And what do you reckon?
03:53Were they sort of getting themselves sorted out?
03:56Ah, no.
03:57No, I wasn't getting that from them.
03:58Mm-hmm.
03:59And last night she was saying things like she wanted to make life changes
04:02and she needed more help at the diner.
04:04So, I'm a bit worried that she's had enough.
04:08Mm.
04:08I was hoping they'd get their act together by now.
04:11Yeah, me too.
04:12I just thought I should let you know.
04:13Yeah, well, thanks, love.
04:14Um, I'll sort this stuff out and get home and see how they're going.
04:19Oh!
04:20A parcel came in for you before I put it behind the desk.
04:22Cool.
04:23I'll let Marley know.
04:25No, no, no.
04:25It's not for Marley.
04:26It was addressed to you.
04:27Me?
04:28Yeah.

17:31hanging out with you
17:31has just been so
17:33great
17:33yeah
17:36it's been nice

17:38get back to my sister now
17:39now
17:41have you got time
17:42to get something to eat?
17:43no sorry
17:44I've already been way longer than I said

17:54but I'll
17:55I'll see you again right?
17:57yeah
17:57sure
18:14I don't even know why we're doing this
18:16we're just going around in circles
18:18it's exhausting
18:18okay well now that we've got all the cards on the table
18:21we can start looking for solutions
18:22unlike some people else actually trying to save this marriage
18:25mate was that really necessary?
18:27you're the one who said you didn't want to be in the marriage in the first place
18:30okay I said something I shouldn't have
18:34but you've been acting like you didn't want to be a part of this marriage for months
18:37in fact I reckon you've been waiting for me to say it so you can use it as an excuse
18:42to run
18:42that's not true
18:44okay just pull your head in
18:45if you'd have come to the grief counsellor like I asked you
18:48none of this would be happening
18:49if you'd listened to your grief counsellor in the first place
18:52you know that I wasn't thinking straight after Theodine
18:54instead you're using it against me like I'm an evil person or something
18:58Leah
18:58Leah
18:59there she goes
18:59good on ya
19:01as soon as there's trouble
19:03ups and runs
19:13tell me if you need a break
19:15no this is great
19:16I've spent so much time laying around lately
19:19well you've had a good excuse
19:23you know your dad really surprised me earlier
19:25I bet he did
19:27your sister's been on my case too
19:28okay I officially come from the most embarrassing family in the world
19:33so sorry if they put pressure on you
19:36I expected it from my sister not from my dad
19:39they care about you
19:41but what I want to know is
19:44how you feel
19:47where's something good going
19:49then
19:52maybe you showed up
19:53I just
19:55it's confused
19:59I'm so sorry for mucking you around
20:02chose the wrong guy
20:19all the waste of time
20:21Leah just can't accept that her actions are what caused all of this and I'm over it
20:26the ball's in her court now
20:27she wants to fix this
20:28she can come to me
20:30I'm just going to sit here and chill
20:32no mate
20:33you're not
20:34hey
20:35the only reason you and Leah can behave like this is because you've got a revolving door here
