00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01After much deliberation, I have made the very difficult decision to leave Shortland Street.
00:06I doubt he was given much of a choice.
00:08You think he's been pushed out?
00:09He'd sell an organ for this place if he had to.
00:11Did you have that rash when you came in?
00:13Is there something wrong?
00:13Yeah, I messed up bad.
00:15Who gave her the penicillin?
00:16Cindy set up the OB.
00:17I had you back out there and you turned around and blamed me?
00:19Sorry.
00:20Yeah, you will be.
00:28Morena.
00:28Morena, you feeling better?
00:31I'd like to think it's useless anyway.
00:33Take that as a no.
00:35Stupid F-boy, it doesn't even work.
00:37Okay, let's just calm down.
00:39Don't even think about telling me to calm down.
00:42Can you at least hear me out?
00:43You want me to be nice to you after you chucked me under the bus?
00:46Marianne asked who gave her the penicillin, so I told her the truth.
00:51The only reason I gave it to her is because you gave it to me.
00:54Look, I panicked.
00:56I'm sorry.
00:57After all the drama between me and Marianne, I couldn't risk any more black marks against
01:01my name so soon.
01:03That's your problem, not mine.
01:05It'll blow over.
01:07So you're telling Marianne the truth?
01:12Wow.
01:13So much fun.
01:14No more messing me around, eh?
01:16Cindy, you know how important this job is to me.
01:18What, you think I'm just here for the vibes, do you?
01:20That's not what I meant.
01:23The allergy was on her chart, you dumbass.
01:26How did you miss it?
01:27I don't know.
01:29Alexa got you pretty rad all day.
01:31I was just tired.
01:32Really?
01:33Because it seemed to me that you couldn't get up it quick enough when she started asking
01:36you questions.
01:37Well, it had nothing to do with her.
01:39You sure about that?
01:40Are you hearing yourself?
01:42Are you seeing yourself?
01:43Maybe we should all just take a breath.
01:45I'm going to be late.
01:48Tell me that wasn't the most sus thing you've ever seen.
01:51Well, you did grill him pretty hard.
01:53Being the matakita of this whare sucks.
02:00Well, what's the point in having a phone if it's always off?
02:08Sometimes that boy drives me up the wall.
02:11Is this really about Junior?
02:12Oh, please don't start.
02:13I'm just saying, you don't have to rush your decision about the baby thing.
02:18The fertility clinic's opening tomorrow.
02:20Surely it's at least worth seeing what they say.
02:22I mean, I can go in with you.
02:23I'm just trying to help.
02:26Do you know anyone that's going to be working there?
02:29I haven't heard anything.
02:30Why?
02:31I just thought a change of scene might be good.
02:33I mean, your pay's probably pretty sweet, but I don't think it's a good idea.
02:38Well, even if I'm not having a baby, it doesn't mean I can't help others have theirs.
02:44I thought that was you.
02:46Hey, mate.
02:47What are you doing here?
02:48Oh, just grabbing a coffee.
02:50Were you saying you thought the coffee here had just gone downhill?
02:52Yes, that's right.
02:54I'll just grab a smoothie.
02:55You know me, always up for trying something new.
02:57Didn't you email Rachel when they changed the chip flavour in the vending machine?
03:00I'm fairly certain she wanted staff feedback.
03:02Okay.
03:03Well, then, yeah, pull up a chair.
03:04Oh, no, I'm sure he's busy.
03:05No, no.
03:06Plenty of time.
03:09Okay, what flavour smoothie?
03:11You pick.
03:13Do you want anything?
03:15No, I'm good.
03:15Thanks, babe.
03:19How did you find us here?
03:22Oh, that is so creepy.
03:24It's not, actually.
03:25When we made up, we agreed to share everything.
03:27It's a best friend thing.
03:28It's a stalker thing.
03:30Just looking out for him.
03:31Wouldn't expect you to understand.
03:33I could just tell him what you're doing.
03:34And I could tell him you're latching on to him because you're worried about living out of your car again.
03:38He told you that.
03:39We tell each other everything.
03:43Come in.
03:45There he is.
03:47David, how are you?
03:48Well, a bit of a seeing you, my friend.
03:50Sorry it's taken so long, but you know how it is in corporate.
03:54No apology needed?
03:55Well, big changes.
03:57Hospital won't be the same without you.
03:59Still, we've got to make room for the next generation, don't we?
04:02Something like that?
04:03It's going to be a nightmare trying to find somebody to fill Chris Warner's shoes.
04:07Sure we can't convince you to reconsider?
04:08I think it's time.
04:10Well, that's a real shame.
04:11I know when I'm not wanted.
04:12Well, I respect your decision.
04:15And I think we should always strive to go out on our own terms, don't you?
04:18I'm not gone yet.
04:19No, no, you're not.
04:21And I'm only a phone call away from my team, if there's any trouble.
04:24And they know that.
04:25Of course.
04:27Well, I won't keep you any longer.
04:31End of an era.
04:32Goodbye, David.
04:37Ash is the one who gave it to me.
04:39You still should have checked the chart.
04:40Ash hit the chart?
04:41What am I supposed to do?
04:42Double check every single thing someone does in this place?
04:45And I know why he missed it.
04:46It's because Alexa recognised him.
04:49You've lost me.
04:50From back in Sydney.
04:50At first, she thought he was a one-night brute.
04:52But then she reckoned he looked exactly the same as this other guy that she used to see around and
04:56stuff.
04:57But Ash was freaked out as hell.
04:59Like, looked like he was going to chuck a sticky and run.
05:01Okay, enough.
05:02What you do outside of these walls is your business.
05:04But when you walk in here, you are my responsibility.
05:06Do you get that?
05:08Yeah.
05:08I can't have my nurse's personal feelings impacting their work.
05:11This has nothing to do with that.
05:12Cindy, honey, you're already under the microscope.
05:15Don't make it worse by talking like you were a tinfoil hat.
05:18It's true.
05:19What proof have you got?
05:20Apart from some vague claims from a preoccupied patient.
05:22Cindy, look, I just...
05:23I don't want to hear any more about this, okay?
05:38Disappointing.
05:39What?
05:40I missed my chance.
05:42At what?
05:44Redeeming myself after running away yesterday.
05:48I'm sure you'll get another chance.
05:50Well, I won't leave you dripping wet this time.
05:51It was very rude of me.
05:57Hey.
06:02I will see you down now.
06:06Bit frosty this morning.
06:12I get that Dr. Graham was quick to shut you down yesterday.
06:15She should have handled it better.
06:16I'll have a word with her about it.
06:17I don't need you to fight my battles.
06:18And save that for the baby nurses.
06:21What's going on?
06:21You don't want to know.
06:23You just want to keep having eye sex with Captain Posture.
06:25Well, I'm not doing that now, am I?
06:27And I would rather you say it to me
06:29instead of taking it out on Crane and getting in trouble with her.
06:32Okay.
06:34Uh, yesterday, I gave Brian a sweet little pep talk about getting out there,
06:38which is advice I'm incapable of taking myself
06:40because my love life is such a joke.
06:42And normally I just distract myself with work,
06:44except that all I'm trusted to do is the same mind-numbing basic tasks
06:48over and over again because nobody thinks I'm good at my job.
06:52Sorry.
06:53You don't need to apologise.
06:55I just don't know how much longer I can do this.
06:58I think you need to get a grip, honey.
07:01What?
07:02There is more to life than being the prodigy doctor.
07:04You are young and talented and beautiful.
07:07Go out and celebrate that.
07:09Have fun with your friends.
07:11Go on bad dates.
07:13Fall in love.
07:15Do all the things this hospital might steal from you if you let it.
07:17There's more to life than being upset about a chest drain I wasn't allowed to do.
07:21Got it?
07:21Good.
07:22Hey, you deserve it.
07:25I also just need to get laid again.
07:27Well overdue.
07:29Okay, well, I don't need to know the details of that.
07:32Too much for the work, chat.
07:34Noted.
07:38Oh, hi.
07:40Sorry what?
07:40Fine, thanks.
07:49How's that rash looking?
07:50I asked for a new nurse.
07:52I know.
07:53I'm not here as a nurse.
07:54Why are you here then?
07:55To finish me off?
07:56Ha ha.
07:57No.
07:58Just so you know, that wasn't my fault.
08:00Whatever.
08:01What do you want?
08:05What are you doing?
08:08Is there anything else you remember about your guy?
08:10Your pills guy?
08:10Just that he had mean gear.
08:12And you reckon he looked exactly like my boy Ash?
08:15You're obsessed, Dave.
08:16I just want some answers.
08:18Cindy, a word?
08:26I know it looks bad, but I'm just trying to...
08:29Did you take in anything I said earlier?
08:31Yes, but you don't get...
08:31Go home.
08:33Are you serious?
08:34Do I look like I'm joking?
08:35Go.
08:35Take a personal day.
08:36You can't do that.
08:37Yes, I can.
08:38And I suggest you go now, before you make things worse for yourself.
08:46Cindy.
08:47I'm going.
08:55I need a favor.
08:59Izzy, could you let me know if you see Miss Jeffrey's up here at all?
09:02Libby?
09:03Of course.
09:03What time are you expecting her?
09:05I'm not.
09:06Does she have an appointment with someone?
09:07No.
09:08Oh.
09:09Well, should I tell her you're looking for her?
09:11Absolutely not.
09:12Right.
09:15Everything okay?
09:16I just got off the phone with the lawyers.
09:19What are they saying?
09:20Long story short, because I'm not the biological father, I need to prove I'm the guardian first.
09:25That's ridiculous.
09:25Yeah, so basically, I'm screwed.
09:27Dear Neonite, you've been more of a father to those kids than anyone else.
09:30That counts for something.
09:31Well, I don't think the law sees it like that.
09:32Well, fight dirty if you have to, Marty.
09:34Do everything you can.
09:35What more can I do?
09:36Wait, you start with the apartment.
09:38What about it?
09:39You need to show that you can offer the kids a stable home.
09:41You know, somewhere they feel safe, somewhere they want to be.
09:43You can think about redecorating the rooms.
09:45You know, giving Peggy and Kea with their own space.
09:48Well, Libby's in one of those rooms.
09:51That's right.
09:54I just think my experience could bring something really valuable to the team.
09:58Plus, I love kids.
09:59Is this going to take much longer?
10:01Don't rush me.
10:02I'll do what I want with you.
10:05How bad would it be if we were late back from break?
10:09Apologies.
10:10I should have waited until an appropriate time to conduct this conversation.
10:13I will do what I want with you at a later date, perhaps.
10:16Have you always been this much fun?
10:18So fun is being late?
10:20You've never broken a rule before, have you?
10:23Of course I have.
10:25When?
10:29A speed.
10:31Okay.
10:34When roadworks have been completed, but the 30km sign has been left out, I don't always
10:38adhere.
10:39Oh, wow.
10:40Rebel without a cause.
10:43Okay, we have one minute to get back.
10:44I bet you couldn't even manage being five minutes late back.
10:48Why would I want to?
10:50If you can't, just admit it.
10:51Of course I could.
10:52Prove it.
10:52I don't need to prove anything.
10:54That's what I thought.
10:56You're being childish.
10:57Hey, if you don't think you're capable, that is fine with me.
10:59Start the timer.
11:04And you go.
11:13How long's that?
11:14Eight seconds.
11:19Why does it feel more hectic and here than usual today?
11:21We're down a nurse, and God knows where Crane and May are.
11:24That'll do it.
11:24Who left?
11:25Cindy.
11:25I think she was sick or something.
11:26Can I get some help over here?
11:28No rest for the wickets.
11:29What happened?
11:30This is Kelly.
11:31She was kicked in the face by a horse this morning.
11:34The orbit looks like it's under a lot of pressure.
11:36Kelly, can you see out of this eye?
11:38What are you thinking?
11:40Where's Crane?
11:41No idea.
11:41We're on our own.
11:42What's the call?
11:45Poppy?
11:45What?
11:46What's the call?
11:50She's developing orbital compartment syndrome from an intraorbital hemorrhage.
11:54If I don't relieve the pressure now, she's going to go irreversibly blind in that eye.
11:56So what are you going to do?
11:58A lateral canthotomy.
12:00Shouldn't we wait?
12:00Not if we wanted to keep her sight.
12:02Get me some local.
12:03You get tetracane drops to tooth forceps and irises.
12:06On it.
12:07Hey, Kelly.
12:08I know this is scary, but I'm going to inject some anaesthetic next to your eye so that it goes
12:13numb.
12:27The lateral canthotomy tendon has two branches.
12:31Superior.
12:33And inferior.
12:35Whoa.
12:38Cutting the tendon allows for the globe of the eye to expand out of the socket and relieve the pressure.
12:43That was dope.
12:46Let's hope Crane thinks so too.
12:50What happened?
12:51Hey, you okay?
12:53He lied to us.
12:54What?
12:55Ash, he's been lying this whole time.
12:57Tell me this is not what the SOS message was about.
13:00Did you not hear what I just said?
13:01Jesus Christ, Cindy.
13:03I just drove like a maniac to get here.
13:06Wait.
13:06You need to see this.
13:10You've got two minutes.
13:12Okay.
13:13After that stuff with the patient, Alexa, I decided to check the nurse's register.
13:18There's only one registered nurse under the name Ash James, and he's in Australia.
13:23Okay.
13:24What's your point?
13:25I did some digging.
13:26Didn't take long to find his socials.
13:28So there's another nurse called Ash James.
13:30So what?
13:32But there's only one nurse registered under the name Ash James.
13:35Well, it's the system error.
13:36Big deal.
13:38I thought it could be something like that too, until I saw this.
13:43If that's the real Ash James, then who the hell is that?
13:52Your phone must have been broken.
13:53That was at least three minutes.
13:54Sure, let's say it's broken.
13:56And where have you two been?
13:59I don't believe that's any concern of yours.
14:01It is, when it meant that Poppy had to cut a poor woman's eyeball out of her skull.
14:05What?
14:06Have ophthalmology been informed?
14:08Is the patient stable?
14:09Yes, thanks to Poppy.
14:11What happened?
14:12Blunt force trauma to the globe with intraorbital hemorrhage.
14:15Kelly had acute vision loss, so I made the call to decompress with the lateral canthotomy.
14:19Maybe we should take this to the rooms.
14:20Look, I haven't forgotten what you said yesterday, even though I don't agree, but you weren't here.
14:25A decision had to be made.
14:26It was threatening.
14:27Well done.
14:28What?
14:29You were in a tough spot.
14:31You assessed, you acted, and you likely saved this young woman's sight.
14:33I would have done the same thing.
14:35Thanks.
14:37And I'm sorry you were put in that position.
14:39It won't happen again.
14:41So I can go?
14:42Yes.
14:49Did my eyes just deceive me, or did I see Crane just complimenting you?
14:54You did.
14:55Well, look at you, killing it.
14:58Quite the contrast from surgical.
15:00What do you mean?
15:01Oh, I was just up there, and it's total chaos.
15:05Poor Naza, he's been pulled all over the place.
15:07Really?
15:08Yeah, honestly, I've never seen him so frazzled.
15:10He'd never admit it, but I think he'd benefit from seeing a friendly face, if you've got time.
15:16You think?
15:16Yeah, absolutely.
15:17A distraction is what he needs.
15:20But don't mention I said anything.
15:22You know how proud men can get.
15:24Of course.
15:29Actually, while I've got you, I thought we could run through the candidates for the fertility
15:33act, Jody.
15:34All under control.
15:35You found someone?
15:36Yeah, looks like it.
15:36Who?
15:37Well, let's dot the I's and cross the T's, and I'll get back to you.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42Nothing.
15:43What are you doing?
15:44What am I doing?
15:45On the surgical floor.
15:47How they let you near people with a scalpel is beyond me.
15:50Have you seen Poppy?
15:52Why?
15:53Oh, no.
15:54Biggie.
15:54Just wanted to ask her something.
15:56So that's a no, is it?
15:58Yes.
15:58That's a no.
16:00Are you okay?
16:02I'm okay.
16:03I'm thriving.
16:04Have you spoken to Marty since it's called the Lois?
16:06No.
16:07Unlike you, I don't need constant communication in order to soothe my insecurities.
16:11We'll probably speak about it tonight over a glass of red.
16:15After we...
16:16What?
16:17Have sex, Naza.
16:18Oh.
16:19You know what?
16:21I think you might be right.
16:22Oh, about?
16:23Well, I know when I'm beaten.
16:25Well, so you're just giving up?
16:27Yes.
16:28You win.
16:29So that's it?
16:31That's it.
16:33Smart move.
16:34I'm relentless.
16:35What can I say?
16:37The best personal one.
16:42There must be some explanation.
16:45Why lie to us, but...
16:46I don't know.
16:47I don't know.
16:48Let's just wait for him to get home and just ask him.
16:50Straight up.
16:50Then he'll just bullshit his way out of it again.
16:52What are you suggesting?
16:57This is a bad idea.
17:01That's obvious.
17:02He never heard of folding.
17:04Maybe we should just call it and we can try again tomorrow.
17:06Stop stressing.
17:07He won't be home for ages.
17:09You don't know that.
17:11What are you doing?
17:15Oh, my God.
17:19That dick asked me to shut him lunch yesterday.
17:24What?
17:38Not at all.
17:40What's this for?
17:41Homework.
17:42I've no doubt you know your stuff, but a refresher never hurts.
17:45Does this mean...
17:46Congratulations, charge nurse.
17:48Oh, I didn't know what to say.
17:49We're delighted to have you.
17:51But we'll need you there first thing tomorrow morning for the grand opening.
17:53You want me to start tomorrow?
17:55You've already cleared things with your D.O.N., so you're all set.
17:59Look forward to working with you.
18:01See you tomorrow bright and early.
18:02Bye.
18:03You better not ruin this for me, okay?
18:05You're the one that told me the money would be good.
18:07True.
18:07True.
18:08And this family's going to be lucky to have you.
18:10I'll call you later.
18:11Okay, we can celebrate.
18:15Yay.
18:26Will you say anything?
18:27That's enough rule breaking for one day.
18:29Um, actually, I wanted to apologise.
18:32What?
18:32Making you late back to AD.
18:34It was stupid and irresponsible.
18:36And we are so lucky Bobby was on board.
18:38Well, I agree it was an error of judgement from us both.
18:41We wouldn't have made it back in time anyway, so you have nothing to feel guilty about.
18:44Even so, I don't want to let this...
18:47I mean, whatever.
18:49This is causing any problems again.
18:51Meaning?
18:52I think it might be a good idea if we slowed things down for a while.
18:56Are you going to just keep searching for excuses, or can we talk about the real issue here?
19:01What?
19:02Nicole.
19:04Excuse me?
19:05I understand what happened must have been very traumatic.
19:08But how long are you going to keep letting it hang over you for?
19:10Sorry, how do you even know about this?
19:12People around here tell you things whether you want to know them or not.
19:15Okay, well, I don't know what you have heard, but this has nothing to do with her.
19:19I recognise when people are still bleeding from old wounds, mate.
19:21Did you not hear what I just said?
19:23I didn't mean...
19:23Just drop it.
19:29Let's head back.
19:31We can't be late again.
19:43You're not here to dump more work on me, are you?
19:45I was just checking in on my patient.
19:47Oh, didn't realise this was your patient.
19:49Not originally, but things got switched.
19:51How's he looking?
19:52Uh, much better today.
19:54We wasted a fair bit of time convinced it was a cardiac issue, but then we ran some tests and
19:57discovered the pulverated ulcer.
19:59Easy fix in the end.
20:00Funny how we can get sidetracked, even when the answer's staring right at us.
20:05That's very true.
20:07So, I may have been sent to try and cheer you up.
20:11I wondered if you had any plans tonight.
20:13Who sent you?
20:14Nope.
20:14Said I wouldn't say.
20:16Marty.
20:17No.
20:18Maybe we could catch up after work.
20:20Why can't you say who it was?
20:24It was Libby, wasn't it?
20:26Look, it wasn't anything.
20:28I've got to get back.
20:29But glad our ulcer guys.
20:30Okay.
20:34Hey, you.
20:36What are you doing tonight?
20:38Uh, yeah, one second.
20:39Uh, not sure.
20:40Why?
20:41Two words.
20:41Movie night.
20:42I'll be with you in one sec.
20:44Um, maybe not tonight.
20:45Oh, that's okay.
20:47We don't have to have a movie night.
20:48We could just, um, not make a big deal out of it and get takeout like normal people.
20:53We could watch normal people.
20:54Um, can we talk about this back at the flat?
20:56They're not really normal, though, are they?
20:57They're a bit depresso.
20:58Libby, can we talk about this later, please?
21:01Okay.
21:02What's the problem?
21:04Um, I just, I had a call from the lawyers earlier today.
21:08Yes?
21:10Basically, if I want any chance of joint custody, I need to make sure the flat is a safe space.
21:14Oh, okay.
21:15Well, I can help with that.
21:16We can get those little foam corners that you put on the coffee tables.
21:19That's not what I mean.
21:20Um, there needs to be a stable environment, calm.
21:25Do you get what I'm saying?
21:26Absolutely.
21:28Yeah, we can get incense and I can improve the feng shui.
21:31Libby, I need you to move out.
21:34Sorry, yeah, I'm coming.
21:39What about Tyler Hudson Nursing, Sydney University?
21:46Nah.
21:47What about what that girl said that you called him?
21:50What?
21:51Tyler, or pearls, Tyler, Australia.
21:54Good one.
21:57See?
21:58Nothing.
21:59Well, I don't know.
21:59Drugs, drugs, crime, fat stacks of cash under the bed.
22:03This is a waste of time.
22:04We're just going to have to try and get a hold of the real Ash James guy.
22:07You haven't tried that already?
22:09DM'd him, but he hasn't seen it.
22:12Yo.
22:13Oh.
22:14Mickey Hudson.
22:16Who's that?
22:16Something that Alexa said about him.
22:18A Mickey.
22:24Michelle Hudson.
22:25A member of the Hudson family.
22:26A criminal network linked to Sydney's drug trade.
22:29Appeared in court today, facing charges of firearms possession and distribution.
22:40We should put everything back.
22:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:44Just get everything back to how it was.
22:47I don't know how everything was.
22:48What?
22:48Then just shove it anywhere.
22:51Shit.
22:55What are you guys doing?
22:58What?
23:03What?
