00:00Teabag in, as requested.
00:01Cheers.
00:02Oh, is this a book club then? Only I'm tearing through my Jilly Coopers.
00:05Jilly Coopers? No, it's an adoption meeting.
00:08Oh really? How's that going then?
00:10We'll let you know if we need anything else. Thanks, Cathy.
00:13Bye.
00:15Where was I? Oh yeah, early permanence.
00:17So, a foster child would stay with you while the court sorts out their situation with their birth family.
00:22Okay.
00:24Could they possibly end up staying forever?
00:27Well, not necessarily, but it can be possible if the court thinks it's best for the child.
00:33How are you feeling about becoming a grandmother and starting this new phase at the same time?
00:37Yeah, I mean, I love multitasking.
00:41You know, for 20 years I used to raise profits by day and four kids by the evening.
00:46Yeah, believe me, she thrives on chaos.
00:48Yep.
00:49How do you get on with Vinnie's partner, Penny?
00:51Yeah. Yeah, she's like her second daughter.
00:54Oh.
00:55Well, it's lovely to hear you have such a close bond.
00:58Yeah.
00:58Oh, it was a real surprise for us all.
01:04Uh, hey.
01:05Mom, should you have a minute?
01:06We're in the middle of something here.
01:08Oh, I think we're finished for now.
01:09I'll call about the early permanence training.
01:12Okay.
01:14Congratulations, by the way.
01:17Thank you, mate.
01:17See ya.
01:18See ya.
01:19See ya.
01:21Well, have a well, I think.
01:23Oh, Vin.
01:24Looks like Penny's got the new number one family.
01:27Good to hear.
01:28Because actually there's something Penny and I wanted to ask you about.
01:30Penny, I'm tired.
01:32Can it wait till we get home?
01:33Okay, but you're gonna love it.
01:38Trap my boy into having a baby and then take him for everything he's worth.
01:41Yeah, gross.
01:42No.
01:43Positive.
01:43I needed Mum to co-sign the release of my cash from the business.
01:46But you could have mentioned that.
01:47Failed your little plan, did I?
01:49I told you, Mum.
01:50It was my idea and my share of the business to do what I want with.
01:55Hiya.
01:56Um, I was just gonna grab our teas.
02:00It doesn't matter.
02:02Yeah.
02:04Do you know what, Suki?
02:06Believe what you want.
02:08Yeah, it was my master plan to get pregnant and raise a child all in the house.
02:11In the hopes of buying a shop.
02:12Yes.
02:13She doesn't really think that, do you?
02:19Mum.
02:20It was me.
02:22Trying to do something nice for the mother of my child.
02:26But you ruined it with your cheap accusations.
02:29You owe her an apology.
02:38Well, even if it wasn't your idea, I...
02:43I was just protecting Vinny.
02:45No, you don't say.
02:46So?
02:47The shop?
02:47No, Vin, leave it.
02:48Well, look, we are not in any position to be investing in anything now anyway.
02:53It's not a good time to destabilize the family businesses because...
02:56Well, we might have another mouth to feed soon.
02:59But we will support you in every way we can, won't we?
03:01Sure.
