00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01What have you got going on that's more important than spending time with your mogul?
00:04Just tell her about the tumour.
00:05No.
00:06I'm coming with you, Bond.
00:07Dad, thank you.
00:08The stars have aligned.
00:10Libby, there is no world in which you and I are ever getting back together.
00:14David, hi.
00:14I know all about your plan.
00:16Give me the full 100k and I'll give you Chris Warner's head on a plate.
00:32Aww.
00:33You didn't have to do this.
00:37Well, I wish I could take credit, but I didn't send those.
00:41Is there a card?
00:43Yeah, random.
00:44Maybe it's Mum.
00:50Oh.
00:51What is it?
00:52Oh.
00:53What?
00:54Oh.
00:56Um.
00:56It's from, uh...
00:59Um.
01:02Why is he doing this?
01:04You don't know it's him, Bobby.
01:04It's him.
01:05Look, he's probably just trying to scare you, but you're okay.
01:07You're safe.
01:08Alright?
01:10No, just come here.
01:11No.
01:14It's okay.
01:18Hi.
01:20Good morning, Drew.
01:21Good morning, Drew.
01:23I need to check on Kyle.
01:25Chris is in there.
01:26Right?
01:27Yesterday.
01:29It was something.
01:31Yeah, it was.
01:33Sorry, um, it's just a lot in a really short space of time.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Look.
01:38I just want you to know.
01:39Oh, there you are.
01:41Ah.
01:41Where else would he be?
01:43Have you finished assisting Kyle?
01:45Yes, he's all yours.
01:46Great.
01:48You need to let me know as soon as there are any adverse reactions to your trial.
01:51I've got my neck on the line for Salvignon.
01:53Of course.
01:54We will be much more upfront next time.
01:56We only found out yesterday.
01:57Well, then I should have been notified yesterday, luckily.
01:59As Boyd's pointed out, the rash has gone down, so has the swelling.
02:03But you two need to respect the position I'm in.
02:06Yeah, look.
02:06I've double-checked.
02:07There was no protocol deviation, which leads me to believe that there was a formula discrepancy
02:11between batch A and batch B.
02:12Running some tests should be an easy solve.
02:14Okay.
02:15Keep me posted.
02:17Thanks for having that.
02:19Well, I'm just doing the work.
02:20And you are, what, messing around with a registrar?
02:24I'm not messing around.
02:26You're playing with fire here, Drew.
02:27And for what?
02:29She's important to me.
02:31And so is this trial, right?
02:43You need to go.
02:45I will call you.
02:46David, come in.
02:48I have a meeting with Rachel.
02:50Excuse me.
02:54What's so urgent you couldn't say it on the phone?
02:57Your PA rang me last night.
02:59Libby?
03:00Oh, God.
03:03I knew she was after Chris, but I didn't expect her to call you as well.
03:06She is on a relentless crusade for a husband, and I apologize.
03:11Right.
03:12Well, she told me that she had what I need, and I quote, to take Chris down.
03:16She also demanded the full $100,000.
03:20Right.
03:21Well, I'm curious to know how she found out about that.
03:24She doesn't know anything, and I can assure you we're still very much on track.
03:28That doesn't answer my question.
03:31Libby was an oversight, and I apologize, but as I said, she doesn't know anything.
03:36If that idiot out there has more on Chris than you, then I'm seriously worried.
03:40David, she knows nothing.
03:43I've already reduced Chris's responsibilities, and he's had less contact with the HODs as a result,
03:49and the next phase is dropping him as medical director and instead instating him as head of plastics.
03:56So I will get rid of him, but just trust me to do it my own way.
04:02What about your PA?
04:04She's harmless.
04:06She's irritating, but harmless.
04:09I don't want her calling me again.
04:11I will take care of her.
04:13Don't mess this up, Rachel.
04:16You won't like the fallout.
04:21Oh, do you have $2 I can borrow?
04:24Seriously?
04:25Well, I don't have coins in my wallet is somewhere.
04:27You know, I've got coins.
04:28It's an old man thing.
04:29Old men always have coins.
04:35Besides, I'm mad at you.
04:38You're mad at me?
04:40Another annoying old man trait just repeating what I'm saying, but you are not well enough to go to Canada.
04:45You cannot manage by yourself.
04:46But I did some Googling, and if I do three stopovers, upwards of nine hours each, I can afford to
04:52come.
04:52That's a young man trait, isn't it?
04:54Not knowing when you're not wanted.
04:56That's not a no.
04:57It is a no.
04:58You cannot hide the fact that you were sick from your family the whole trip.
05:03I'll manage.
05:04Okay, well, if I can't come, then you have to tell Bonnie.
05:12This is going to be her last memories of me, Sage.
05:14I want them to be good ones.
05:16You understand that, right?
05:17She deserves that at least.
05:21Sage, can you make coffee?
05:22Sure.
05:23No, thanks.
05:23Okay, two coming up.
05:24Hey, you're so much better at your machine than me.
05:26Seriously?
05:28I've got some girls.
05:31Hey, you coming?
05:32Working.
05:36Is he all right?
05:38Yeah, he's just...
05:39Clubbing old bastard.
05:40Exactly.
05:41Now, you said that you had some gossip.
05:43Yeah, okay.
05:43So, I went on an amazing date last night.
05:46Tell me everything.
05:47Do you guys kiss?
05:48Well, we might have.
05:49Oh, thank you.
05:50And we've made loose plans to have drinks tonight.
05:52Oh!
05:54Behind you, behind you, behind you, behind you.
05:56Who's there?
05:57Who's there?
05:58Who's there?
05:59Good morning.
06:00Or should I say, morning.
06:02Who's to know if it's going to be good?
06:04I love that sunshiny perspective, Brian.
06:08Yes, well...
06:10That was close.
06:14Selina.
06:15Hmm?
06:17You've probably heard of MoTat,
06:19but I bet you haven't come across MoTat too.
06:23I can't say have.
06:25A really fascinating collection of World War II planes.
06:28And...
06:28Well, I was...
06:29I was thinking about you,
06:30and I was wondering if you'd consider...
06:33That was...
06:34Actually, it's so sweet, Brian.
06:35But unfortunately,
06:37I currently have a really handsome guy
06:40that would be really upset at me
06:41if I went to MoTat too without him.
06:45Thank you, though.
06:46Of course.
06:48Yeah, apologies.
06:52Be kind.
06:53It's hard to ask someone out.
06:54Not for me.
06:55Yeah, we all know how you ask people out.
06:57Hmm.
06:58Now tell me, is it true?
06:59Does the car move when you wiggle your pecs?
07:02Vroom, vroom.
07:03Right?
07:04Nah.
07:05Enough.
07:06Get back to work.
07:07Alright, love you guys.
07:08Love y'all.
07:17Rachel, what a surprise to see David in here.
07:21What a surprise to learn you went behind my back and called him.
07:24No, it wasn't like that.
07:26I just thought...
07:26Well, I didn't think because I was upset.
07:28I can't trust you.
07:29Yes, of course you can.
07:30I am your right-hand woman.
07:31I'm moving you down to the hub reception.
07:33Rachel.
07:34No, please.
07:35I love it here.
07:35No, it's not up for discussion.
07:37And quite frankly, you're lucky to still have employment.
07:40I promise I won't call David again.
07:41You jeopardized everything by calling him.
07:44Do you understand that?
07:45No.
07:46Get your things.
07:47No.
07:47It was a mistake.
07:48I am on your side.
07:49I really am.
07:50I hope you've got comfy shoes, Libby.
07:51Because I don't think there's a chair at the hub desk.
08:00Crunchy or floury?
08:03Take a bite.
08:07Quite pretty nice.
08:09So, are we talking again then?
08:15No.
08:17Have a mouthful.
08:21But yeah, you probably need a friend with Drew being back.
08:25I keep having this stupid thought.
08:27Which is?
08:29Why is he here?
08:31Why is he back in Ferndale?
08:33Well, he used to work here so he has connections.
08:37And I mean, everyone knows Chris loves an up and coming man in medicine.
08:41So, there's no part of you that thinks he's back here.
08:47I just don't think it's a good idea to go there, Phil.
08:49Why not?
08:49Because you don't want that life.
08:52That's...
08:52I can't stop thinking about him.
08:55Okay.
08:57Okay.
08:57Well, are you...
08:59Are you ready to be a step-mom to traumatize kids?
09:02To be at the peak of your career with an aging partner?
09:05I mean, it's a lot to commit to when you think about it.
09:08I can't help how I feel.
09:09I know.
09:10It's just that Drew's...
09:12You know, he's at a stage where he's looking long-term.
09:14And you're...
09:16Mucking around.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Probably.
09:23Just...
09:23Be careful.
09:32Hey!
09:33Gotta love a cuppa.
09:35Yep.
09:36So, about Canada.
09:38Yes.
09:38I was just thinking, does Emmett really have to be there?
09:41I mean, don't get me wrong.
09:42You know, looking after Karabia, that is two thumbs up.
09:45But as a...
09:45As a travel companion, I'm just warning you, he can get pretty grumpy.
09:49Yeah.
09:50I know who my dad is, Sage.
09:52Obviously.
09:52Obviously.
09:53But here at the hospital, we really value Emmett.
09:56And him living with you would be a huge loss for us.
09:58And I just don't know how it would fill that hole.
10:01Well, I am sure you will figure that out.
10:04And a break could be good for him.
10:05You too.
10:06Totally.
10:06Um...
10:07Also, um...
10:08I didn't want to say anything.
10:09But, um...
10:10That surgery that your mum's having on her leg...
10:12Pretty...
10:12Pretty gnarly.
10:13I thought you said it was quite simple.
10:15Well, um...
10:16Even the most simplest of surgeries can have risks.
10:18And, um...
10:19I just don't think that she'd be able to heal without you here.
10:23Why are you putting this on me, Sage?
10:25What?
10:25I thought you wanted to help us.
10:27Not guilt me for taking my dad on holiday.
10:29I do want to help.
10:30Well, then stop telling me how to manage my relationship with him, okay?
10:33It's getting old.
10:33I hear us gasping for that tea.
10:37What are you two talking about?
10:39Um...
10:40Nothing.
10:40I have to get back.
10:43What?
10:51It's not happening.
10:53What's not happening?
10:53Sell me on.
10:54No.
10:55This.
10:55Us, whatever this is.
10:57I'm not doing it.
10:59We can stand here and talk.
11:02Can we?
11:02It can't happen again.
11:04Can't?
11:05You don't want it to.
11:07What are you scared of?
11:08If this was right, if this felt right, we'd already be doing it.
11:10Oh, well, I think you're oversimplifying it a bit.
11:12Don't patronise me.
11:13But I'm not...
11:15I wouldn't dream of doing that.
11:16Everybody knows you're much smarter than I am.
11:18Why did you even come back here?
11:20You know why.
11:21No, I can't be what you need me to be.
11:23What would that be?
11:25A step-mum.
11:26Someone who wheels you around the nursing home when you're 80 and I'm like a hot 60-something.
11:31I am trying to end this.
11:32Bill, listen.
11:34We haven't even been on a date, okay?
11:37You're thinking decades into the future here.
11:39All I'm asking is that we are here right now.
11:42Is that okay?
11:43No.
11:44There's no point.
11:45It's done.
11:48All right.
11:48Well, if that's what you believe, I can't change that.
11:50Good.
11:51So don't try to.
11:56You good?
11:58Why does everyone keep asking me that today?
12:00Uh, Cindy.
12:01Sorry.
12:03Where did you get the earrings from?
12:04Libby!
12:05I know.
12:06That girl's fashion is not my buzz, but the accessories go hard, eh?
12:10They're cute.
12:12Thank you, Hive Squad.
12:13No.
12:14Break's over already.
12:15Kakitsu.
12:19You okay?
12:20Yeah.
12:21Yep.
12:21I just, uh, have to go and sort something.
12:29Okay.
12:34So Hendrik sent flowers to my house.
12:37What?
12:37Yeah.
12:38And I can't shake the feeling that he's always watching me.
12:41And I hate it.
12:42No, no, no.
12:43Please don't hug me.
12:44Or be nice.
12:45Please.
12:46Well, I've heard he's moved overseas if that helps.
12:50Really?
12:50Yeah.
12:51England, apparently.
12:52Which is good because one, England, yeah.
12:54And two, he can't watch you from England.
12:56Look, he just gets to leave.
12:58Yeah, but it's a good thing because he can't be a freak to you.
13:00So he just, he just goes and I'm left with all the damage.
13:04No, you said you wouldn't.
13:06Look, I know it's help for you.
13:09No.
13:15So what's your thing?
13:18Emmett's leaving.
13:20What?
13:21Forever?
13:22Going to Canada.
13:23With Bonnie.
13:25And a brain tumour.
13:26What?
13:28Oh, Jesus Christ.
13:30Oh, come here.
13:32What?
13:32So it's okay for you to hug me?
13:34Oh my God, that's so awful.
13:36I don't know what to do because he won't tell Bonnie that he's sick.
13:41Typical.
13:42I could kill that man.
13:44Don't worry, he's got that covered.
13:46Okay, well, you have to tell Bonnie.
13:49Emmett will disown me.
13:52Maybe.
14:02So that's chill.
14:03Oh, put yourself out there.
14:06Yeah, but not that hard out.
14:07Get off.
14:08Well, it's your problem when weird ass dudes are blowing up your phone at 2am.
14:12Like you did to Tracy last week.
14:14What?
14:15Nothing.
14:16Oh my God, I've got a great idea.
14:18Maybe you should pose with a fish.
14:23Right.
14:24Right.
14:25You don't come in here with the stupid little wine stickers and take over my patients like
14:30the lab rats and then, and then be looking at me like let's hook up, let's make this happen
14:35and then his friend my senior walks by.
14:38Why don't you make it a thing?
14:41Did you not just get hurt bad?
14:43Okay.
14:43So just do it.
14:44Or don't do it.
14:45I don't care.
14:46I am over talking about some old man.
14:48I wasn't talking that much about Drew.
14:50You're doing it again.
14:51Okay, okay.
14:52Huge gap of love chats over.
14:56Oh God, here we go.
14:59At least he's our age.
15:00Right.
15:01And that's my limit.
15:03What?
15:09What for?
15:10Getting rid of it.
15:12What are you drinking tonight?
15:13Wine.
15:15You heard of it?
15:18Here we go.
15:38Sorry.
15:44Phil!
15:51Well, I have had the day from hell.
15:55Oh, who are you?
15:56What's for dinner?
15:57Because if it's any more of that fake vegan chicken,
15:59I don't know if I can do it.
16:00Libby, why was Cindy wearing Nicole's earrings today?
16:04What?
16:05You heard me.
16:06Okay.
16:07Please don't be mad.
16:08Too late.
16:10You know when I first moved in
16:11and there was a box of Nicole's stuff in the doorway,
16:13well, I actually tripped over it
16:15and I thought that there was going to be an ACC claim.
16:19And you mentioned that you were meaning to get rid of it
16:21and you hadn't got around to it.
16:22So what are flatmates for
16:23other than being extraordinarily helpful?
16:26So you gave all of Nicole's things to Cindy?
16:29Not exactly.
16:30Libby, what have you done?
16:30I sold the box of things at Marketplace.
16:32You what?
16:33Well, I just did it because I, you know,
16:35I thought that it was a great deal.
16:37What?
16:38Wait, Maeve, where will I go?
16:39No, I did it to pay you rent money.
16:41That was the rent money you gave me?
16:43Yeah.
16:43Oh, okay.
16:44This isn't working.
16:45This hasn't worked.
16:46Yeah, it's been a time.
16:47Time is over.
16:48You need to pack your things and leave.
16:50Where will I go?
16:51Not my problem.
16:55If you don't want me to go,
16:57I can stay, honestly.
16:59Oh, rush.
16:59You're going.
17:00Okay, when you get back,
17:01I'll be running around in my new and improved leg.
17:04But I don't have to.
17:08Sage got in my head.
17:10What?
17:12What did he say?
17:13That leaving mum like this.
17:14I'm fine, Bron.
17:16Honestly.
17:17Right, so you're still planning on going?
17:19Sage.
17:20You're taking Emma away from the people who really need him
17:21and I won't stand for it.
17:23That's enough.
17:24Bub, he's coming back.
17:25You're leaving your mum when she really needs you.
17:27See?
17:27I want her to go, okay?
17:29Just calm down a bit.
17:30I am calm.
17:31I just...
17:32I feel like you're being super selfish
17:33and you just don't even care.
17:34Sage, out.
17:35Now.
17:37Now.
17:43I'm sorry.
17:45I'll deal with him.
17:50Well, at least he's not in the country anymore.
17:52Hopefully we never see him again.
17:54Yeah.
17:55I don't...
17:56I don't want to talk about him anymore.
17:57Sure.
17:58Sorry.
17:59You look weird.
18:01You look tea in a bar, by the way.
18:02I don't want to start another brawl.
18:07You had a hit on us too?
18:09What?
18:10Just a joke.
18:12That's not funny.
18:14Okay, we can probably call that a name.
18:16Yeah.
18:16And I guess hitting on every woman with a pulse isn't funny.
18:19Sorry.
18:20Poor Hendrix.
18:22What did you just say?
18:24I said poor Hendrix.
18:25Yeah, no.
18:26I heard you.
18:27You moron.
18:27I was just giving you a chance to take it back.
18:29What?
18:30You're allowed to make a joke,
18:31but I can't defend myself
18:32because men just have to take it.
18:35What the hell?
18:36Vili, that's enough.
18:37I said poor Hendrix
18:38because we've heard a lot about your side of the story,
18:40but nothing about his.
18:41It's because it's always on a woman's term, isn't it?
18:43And you know what?
18:44A court of law found him innocent.
18:46So who am I to disagree with that?
18:47Oh!
18:50But are you crazy?
18:52Maybe.
18:53But I'm sure as hell not taking shit from you, Vili.
18:55All right.
18:56Settle down.
18:57Good luck with her, mate.
18:59She's a psycho.
19:02You're after patience, are you?
19:04What?
19:05Oh, yeah, you know me.
19:06Always trying to help.
19:07I know how that is.
19:09Good night.
19:09Goodbye.
19:11Sage.
19:13Found you.
19:15I know I overstepped with you and Bonnie
19:17and you're going to go on some big angry speech
19:18about me getting control of my emotions,
19:19but I just, I don't understand...
19:20Hey, hey, hey, hey, Clover.
19:23You're going to be okay.
19:23Hey.
19:26It's going to be okay.
19:28I know, but...
19:30Are you?
19:33Can you just promise me that you'll come back?
19:40Please.
19:41Look, it's just going to be a few weeks
19:42and I'll be back here bossing you around like normal.
19:45I'll buy you a Toblerone.
19:48Maybe, like, maple syrup or something.
19:49What's that?
19:50Well, you're going to Canada,
19:51so maybe maple syrup or something.
19:52Yeah, fair enough.
19:57I'll miss you.
20:01Don't say that.
20:02It makes it real.
20:05It is real.
20:10Please just tell me you'll come back.
20:33I like you a lot.
20:36I like you a lot, too.
20:38I really don't want you to think that I don't.
20:41Okay.
20:44Sometimes I have these nightmares
20:48where Cleo is still alive
20:50and Tendrix has trapped her
20:53and I can't get to her.
20:58I think he messed me up in ways that I didn't realise.
21:03Like, I'm still figuring out
21:04all the ways that he broke me.
21:08I can't know if I could overcome what you have.
21:11The thing is, I haven't.
21:14Like, at all.
21:16I lost it tonight.
21:17No, he deserved it.
21:20Look, I don't want to drag you into my mess.
21:23You're not dragging me into anything.
21:26I really wish that this was the right time
21:29for us to give it a go.
21:39I'm not going to keep you in something
21:40that doesn't work for you.
21:45I don't...
21:47I don't like it, but I understand.
21:53But if you ever need me,
21:55I'm here for you.
21:59I'm really sorry.
22:01I...
22:02There's nothing to apologise for.
22:06I don't regret it at all.
22:16What are you doing here?
22:16Stop talking, or I won't get this out.
22:18Okay.
22:20I've just spent the last few hours
22:21trying to figure out if this us is right.
22:23Like, I don't want to be a mum
22:25or a housewife or a landlord
22:26or any of that crap.
22:28But I hate that I can't let you go
22:29or we'll see you as a friend anymore.
22:31So no, technically, I don't want to be with you.
22:33But there's something that just keeps
22:34pulling me back to you.
22:35And I feel like I'm going to regret it
22:36for the rest of my life
22:37if I don't figure out what that is.
22:42It's great.
22:51I love you, David.
22:53I love you.
22:54You're welcome.
