01:32Izzy, I've got you in theatre four for a couple of appendicectomies.
01:35And Phil, you're in theatre one.
01:36Mrs. Aholele's lab colleague.
01:37Sounds good.
01:39E.D.
01:41I can go.
01:42I want you up here, but...
01:43I can handle it.
01:44You're rostered on with Izzy.
01:45I trust that's going to be okay.
01:47Of course.
01:51Do I have to get a policy card to print it or something?
01:53Some empathy would do.
01:56Sorry, okay?
01:57I didn't know what she'd been through was that bad.
01:59Exactly.
02:00And instead of trying to understand it better, like a normal person,
02:03use the scraps of what you did know, to be an absolute troll to her.
02:05Well, but she's...
02:06And you're still trying to defend yourself.
02:08No.
02:09I'm hanging on by a thread here, Grayson.
02:11Be better.
02:15Thank you so much for keeping it quiet.
02:18Libby's worse than a sniffer dog.
02:23I know it's hard for Selena, but it's inevitable when we all work together.
02:27Oh, it's not just that.
02:29I don't want her involved in his clinic.
02:33Maybe I should try and warn her somehow?
02:35No.
02:36Don't go getting involved.
02:37Well, subtly.
02:38Just until we know what he's doing in there.
02:40It could be nothing.
02:41Or everything.
02:42I know you care, but you can't tip Selena off.
02:45Not until we have something concrete about the clinic or David.
02:48It's just too risky.
02:53Chris and Rachel.
02:54Oh, apparently they had a thing like a hundred years back.
02:56I hid it.
02:58Right?
02:59This place, eh?
03:01Imagine mapping out everyone who's ever rooted each other.
03:03I reckon I'll look like that meme from It's Always Sunny.
03:05Yeah, done.
03:07Hey, speaking of my dumb move with Ash the other night.
03:10I just, I don't want you to think it meant anything because, you know, I know you can't
03:13have a thing for him.
03:14Oh, nah, nah.
03:15I'm so over him.
03:16Really?
03:17Yeah.
03:17It's ancient history.
03:19Thank God.
03:20I felt awful.
03:21Besides, I reckon I could do better than your mum's sloppy seconds.
03:23All floppy thirds.
03:25Yeah, I reckon too.
03:27Do you have your eye on anyone else?
03:29Nah.
03:29All the guys here are, pfft.
03:31I have had to consciously uncouple from like three guys.
03:35Three?
03:35Yeah.
03:36I mean men.
03:36They're nothing but trouble, heartache, and past rash.
03:40Facts.
03:41It's like what Nas did to you.
03:43Honestly.
03:44Oh, let me root you and then I'll make you catch feelings and oh no, Nick Mana.
03:48Wow.
03:49I've still got it bad for my ex.
03:50Yeah, my pregnant ex.
03:52Yeah, which I've known about this whole time, by the way.
03:54Oh, so is me.
03:55Come on.
03:55Tell me that wasn't how it all went.
03:57Nah, it was.
03:58It just sounds pretty rough when you lay it out like that.
04:00And he had the audacity to go and get jealous.
04:02He did not.
04:03Stink, eh?
04:04Maybe we should all just be lesbians.
04:07Hard.
04:07I mean, we've all tried it, right?
04:10Oh no, I haven't tried it.
04:12Oh, sis.
04:13You should give it a go one day, you know?
04:15No past rash.
04:17I used to think that Jesse from Toy Story was super hot.
04:20Oh yeah, the boots, the braid.
04:22The chaps, cuz.
04:23Oh.
04:28Hey.
04:29What?
04:29What?
04:30Look, I know you're true in theater.
04:31Can you not?
04:32What?
04:33Whatever this is.
04:34I'm just trying.
04:35Not interested.
04:37We have to work together.
04:38And live together.
04:40So we shouldn't...
04:40No!
04:42You told me to stop caring about what people think, so why do you care about this?
04:45Hey.
04:50Oh.
04:50What have you done now?
04:52Tried, okay?
04:56So we're holding off only large-scale orders for now, so make sure that the budget's saved
05:00at the F drive.
05:01Did you get all that?
05:02Rachel.
05:05Have you ever slept with a woman?
05:07Excuse me?
05:08Well, like, I know you're with Chris, but like, have you?
05:11I'm not with Chris.
05:12Oh, yeah.
05:13Right, okay.
05:13But seriously, have you?
05:15How is this any of your business?
05:17Oh.
05:18So you have.
05:19Wow.
05:19Do you recommend?
05:20I'm gonna regret asking this, but what are you on about?
05:26If men are the problem, which I think we can all agree that they are, then women must
05:31be the solution.
05:32I...
05:32I meant...
05:33A. They smell nice.
05:35B. They don't pee on the toilet seat.
05:37I'm not sure...
05:38And C. They have sheets on the bed.
05:40Have you ever actually been attracted to a woman?
05:43I just think it'd be easier, right?
05:45I...
05:45Rachel, a word?
05:47Oh, sorry.
05:47Excuse me.
05:48Um, we're actually just having a very important conversation.
05:51I'm coming out to Rachel.
05:53And now you too, I guess.
05:57I...
05:58Am a lesbian.
06:00Right.
06:02Well, um...
06:03Congratulations.
06:05Thank you.
06:07Um...
06:08Look, I hate to interrupt this momentous day, but there's a...
06:10There's a nurse in the clinic waiting to be inducted.
06:12If you could, um...
06:13Get Selena.
06:14No, she no longer works there.
06:15What?
06:16Why?
06:17If you could get the nurse signed in, please.
06:19Of course.
06:20And, um...
06:20Thank you for your support and solidarity.
06:26Selina's rostered back on with Maeve.
06:28But...
06:28Why does this whole building think you and Chris are dating?
06:32Because your PA is a foghorn in heels.
06:34You've been together this whole time, haven't you?
06:36Apparently I can't even talk to Chris without somebody thinking we're dating.
06:39You're doing more than talking.
06:41David...
06:42No, don't.
06:42I thought you trusted me.
06:43Of course I do.
06:44Then why not tell me the truth?
06:46I am.
06:52Yeah, just start with two milligrams of morphine, but keep an eye on her blood pressure.
06:57I'm coming.
06:58Reckon you from the victim?
07:00Like he gets to win.
07:02Someone called for a consult, so...
07:04Yeah, me.
07:05Auticity.
07:09Odette, 19, tried climbing up the side of a bouncy castle, fell roughly two meters.
07:13No LOC, but she's experiencing occipital pain and she has a suspected right wrist fracture.
07:17Fast mover, was she?
07:19Excuse me?
07:19Making ill-advised decisions?
07:21Maybe she was just exercising her free will and autonomy.
07:25Continue.
07:25I've ordered a CT head and neck and a wrist x-ray, but no doubt you've got something to say
07:29about that too.
07:30She'd like more pain relief.
07:32So would I.
07:36I'll deal with it myself.
07:38Are you sure?
07:39Very.
07:39Thank you.
07:40I'll start my reviews then.
07:42Great.
07:44Has the roster changed?
07:45I'll be dealing with Mr. Seymour now.
07:47Why?
07:47Because he's a tricky customer and I'm happy to take him off her hands.
07:50You don't need to go easy on her.
07:52In case you hadn't noticed, Izzy was very upset yesterday.
07:54And today she's straight back to her usual hard-out style.
07:56It's called kindness, Phil.
07:58We all know Mr. Seymour's a nightmare and if you were having a rough day I'd gladly take him off
08:02your hands.
08:02If you don't mind.
08:05Phil.
08:06How did you know you were bi?
08:09What?
08:10Okay, so there's like L and G and B and T and Q plus all the pluses.
08:15But how did you know which one you were?
08:17The hell.
08:18Well, so like I thought maybe I'm an L and then I thought maybe I'm a B.
08:22And then, well, there's all the cues.
08:24What's the difference?
08:25Did I say?
08:26Did I miss one?
08:33I'm sorry.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:35You had to find out like that.
08:36Save it.
08:37I know it must be hard.
08:38You know what's hard is having to revisit this conversation every second minute.
08:42But hey, congrats you got what you wanted.
08:44I just wish everyone would shut up about it so that I could just focus on getting what I want.
08:49So you're still going through with treatment at the clinic?
08:51If I can afford it, but apparently I don't meet the criteria of Kearney's special funded program.
08:58So maybe you should try a different clinic?
09:00Excuse me?
09:01Well, you know, mixing work and personal stuff is messy.
09:06Says the man who is dating the CEO.
09:10All I'm saying is be careful.
09:12You're unbelievable.
09:14But hey, just as long as Chris Warner gets his happy ending, who cares if anyone else does, right?
09:22So do you just slide the needle in?
09:26I do.
09:30I bet you can really work miracles with those fingers.
09:35And the reason you're in an ED room, Libby, do you require medical attention?
09:39Yes, I require medical attention.
09:43I got this.
09:45Crane, Q3 could really use your eyes.
09:56Uh, Libby, were you hitting on her?
09:59No.
10:00Because you could probably work on your technique.
10:03I'm trying.
10:04It's just that being gay is really hard.
10:07Oh, it looks easy, does it?
10:08No, that's not what I mean.
10:09It's just...
10:13It looks easy with you.
10:14No chance, Libby.
10:15Okay, it's worth a shot.
10:19Thank you for ordering the CT or detritus who will need surgical fixation.
10:23I will go and sort the paperwork.
10:27I don't want it to be like this.
10:30I'm sorry about that.
10:32Which bit?
10:33Today.
10:34Yesterday.
10:36Maybe Dolly can lend me a muzzle.
10:38Look, I meant it.
10:39Without autonomy.
10:42I had no right to be.
10:43Jealous.
10:44Room 4 status.
10:46Nearly clear.
10:48I hope we can work well together.
10:50No.
10:50Same.
10:51Why is no one moving?
10:59I mean, it's not like she even met the baby.
11:02Not that it was an actual baby.
11:03Zyko at best, but oh no, we all have to...
11:06Okay, whoa, just stop.
11:07I lost one too, okay?
11:09But do you see Nas taking crusty old patients off me?
11:11Phil.
11:12People go through crap every day, but they're not milking it like a portable breast pump.
11:16I don't know if we need to bring breast pumps into this.
11:18But everyone's like, oh, poor Izzy.
11:20I mean, sure, it sucked, but I'm meant to suddenly like her now.
11:23No one is asking you to.
11:24If this is a trauma Olympics, then come on.
11:27Harper died.
11:27Here we go.
11:28As always, I'm the wicked witch of the West.
11:30Do not bring Alphabet into this, okay?
11:32You do not have the vocal range.
11:33When she's one trying to...
11:34The only person who keeps bringing up Harper is you.
11:38Not true.
11:38Izzy didn't know her.
11:40Nas barely knew her and literally nobody cares anymore.
11:43Just then Libby mentioned...
11:44You want to know why people don't like you, Phil?
11:46It's because you react like this.
11:48For calling bull when I say it.
11:49It's not Harper.
11:50It's not Izzy.
11:51It is you, Phil.
11:52Every time.
11:54I'm sorry.
11:55I broke your trust.
11:56Are you?
11:57Yes.
11:57I shouldn't have gone there.
11:59When you swore that you wouldn't.
12:00She just gets me so riled up.
12:02I love you, Phil.
12:03You need a serious vibe check.
12:05Start owning your shit.
12:05You're gonna have no one left.
12:10I've got rid of Selena.
12:13Hello, Chris.
12:14So you've taken her off the funded IVF program?
12:17Are you her donor?
12:18What?
12:19Are you her family?
12:21No.
12:21Then what makes you think I'm at liberty to say?
12:24Does Rachel care how much time you're spending on your ex?
12:26Of course not.
12:28I need to know that Selena will be taken care of.
12:33You think I wouldn't?
12:35She's been through a lot.
12:37Surviving a relationship with you?
12:39With her family.
12:40Her cancer.
12:42Cancer?
12:42When was this?
12:43Two years ago.
12:44What sort of cancer?
12:46What makes you think I'm at liberty to say?
12:49Well, I won't take up any more of your time.
12:52Say hi to Rachel for me.
13:03So is there like a resource list anywhere?
13:07Yeah, on C Drive.
13:08No, I mean for aspiring lesbians.
13:10Like, what are my next steps?
13:12Um, what steps have you taken?
13:16Heading on me doesn't count.
13:17Okay, so I am working on my flirting.
13:20Also, I've updated my email signature to Libby Jeffries out loud and proud with a little rainbow emoji.
13:27Cool.
13:28I'm not sure you need to put it in your email.
13:29So it's just no one has really caught my eye.
13:31Do you think I'm gay, bi, or pan?
13:35I think it is totally up to you.
13:39But I do think Zoe Kravitz is hot.
13:42But she lives in LA.
13:45Well, why don't you just get out there and give it a shot?
13:48You know?
13:49Try before you buy.
13:50Bye.
13:51Good one.
13:53Oh, you mean actually?
13:54Well, there's only one way to find out.
13:57I thought we agreed you weren't going to say anything to her.
14:00I know.
14:01I wasn't going to.
14:02And did you mention David?
14:04No.
14:05But I did see him after I saw her.
14:07And?
14:08He knows about us.
14:10Chris, how?
14:11I didn't tell him.
14:12He is definitely going to know we're working together too.
14:15Well, not necessarily.
14:16We could tell-
14:17No, we are not going to do anything.
14:19I will sort this and you will do absolutely nothing.
14:22We-
14:22No.
14:23We can't afford any more of your impulsive decisions.
14:26Not if we're going to nail Kearney.
14:31Hey, just before you go and do rounds, um, can I have a quick word?
14:36Sure.
14:38I'm sorry.
14:39Really.
14:42Okay.
14:44Look, you might not know this about me, but sometimes I say things kind of badly.
14:49I got that from the jump.
14:51Right.
14:52Well, friends aren't exactly my forte, but I'm up for trying if you are.
14:59Thank you.
15:01That, Phil.
15:03Okay.
15:03Good.
15:04That is never going to happen.
15:07What?
15:07One half-baked apology in front of the boss and what?
15:10We're braiding each other's hair.
15:12No, I was just-
15:13Stop groveling, Phil.
15:15It's even more pathetic than you are.
15:21I'm not sure about maternity leave just yet, but I can ask HR.
15:27Right, um, I'm going to think about it.
15:30Hey, thanks.
15:32Man, I've got a damn job.
15:33I can pay them back.
15:34What's this?
15:35Bank loan for IVF.
15:37I thought the clinic might cover it.
15:38Yeah, well, David said I didn't meet the criteria before he kicked me out of my job there.
15:43Why?
15:43What'd you do?
15:44And there it is.
15:46Your lifelong question.
15:47What'd you do wrong now, Linga?
15:49No, I just meant-
15:50No, I'm due back.
15:52Linga, wait, wait.
15:56I heard about Chris and Rachel.
15:57Hmm.
15:57You and everyone else.
15:59I know I must suck, but you gotta get over him.
16:01Yeah.
16:02It does suck.
16:03It sucks that I have to work with my ex in his new fling.
16:06It sucks that everyone is talking about it.
16:08It sucks that I got booted out of a job that I love for no good reason.
16:11And it sucks that I have to pay for IVF and I can't even afford it.
16:16Sorry, just Steve.
16:18But what really sucks is my own brother doesn't even seem to give a shit.
16:27Oi, he actually apologised.
16:29Oh, finally!
16:30So you can stop busting his balls, even if I do enjoy it.
16:34But the bro fully deserves every single-
16:36To be fair, it's not like I didn't know about the carnage I was getting myself into.
16:40Yeah, but he still shouldn't have, you know, reeled you in if he wasn't 100% keen.
16:45Not like you and Ash.
16:47Yeah.
16:48You know what?
16:49Maybe Nas and Ash should just hook up.
16:50Perfect match.
16:53Do you still like Nas?
16:55No.
16:56Look me in the eye and say that.
16:58Okay, fine.
16:59There's like a, I don't know, residual kind of smear.
17:02No.
17:03What?
17:04Your secret's safe with me, eh?
17:06What?
17:07What about Ash?
17:09Look me in the eye.
17:13Oh.
17:14Oh crap, I'm sorry.
17:16Nah.
17:17Nah, don't be.
17:21To moving on?
17:22That's a wheeze cup.
17:26To moving on.
17:29Your secret's safe with me, too.
17:38So you don't feel bad?
17:39Like, at all?
17:41Of course I feel bad.
17:43It's like, my brain cares but my mouth doesn't.
17:47Hmm.
17:48That tracks.
17:49I obviously feel bad about messing up with you.
17:51And is he?
17:55Actually, no.
17:57I'm just pretending to.
17:58Not even like a smidgen of guilt.
18:02Nope.
18:04Wow.
18:05That actually feels very freeing to admit that.
18:13You don't get to chuck people around like that.
18:15It's not ethical.
18:16It's not fair.
18:17And I have legal rights.
18:18Selena.
18:18I deserve a watertight explanation as to why you're denying me the IVF.
18:22If you-
18:22No, I'm not finished yet.
18:23Do you hear that raging ticking sound?
18:25That's my biological clock counting down to rock bottom.
18:28So if you think I'm going to let this die without putting up a fight, think again.
18:32You're absolutely right.
18:33What?
18:35I was rash yesterday.
18:36I see that.
18:36I'm sorry.
18:37So?
18:38So you're exactly the sort of person that would benefit from this program.
18:41You meet a lot of the criteria.
18:43But you said I didn't.
18:44In review.
18:45You're over the threshold.
18:47And you're in.
18:47The fully funded program?
18:49All expenses paid.
18:50What about the job?
18:52Do you think Maeve will live if we put you back?
18:54Are you genuinely serious?
18:56Because I cannot handle-
18:58Genuinely serious.
19:00Oh my god.
19:01Yes.
19:02Thank you.
19:04When do we start?
19:08Hey.
19:09Oh.
19:10Trigger warning.
19:11Huh?
19:11Compassion bypass.
19:13Did you, um, sort whatever that was with Izzy?
19:15Sure did.
19:16Can't sort her.
19:17What?
19:17Don't ask.
19:18Yeah, I'm not going to waste any more breath on that pissy little grim one.
19:26Oh.
19:26Poppy's here.
19:27So is Libby.
19:29Yeah, I-I called it off.
19:30We're all good.
19:31Why did she take it?
19:32Yeah.
19:34There he is.
19:35The man who turned me gay.
19:39Oh, I meant to ask.
19:40Um, am I a-a top or a bottom?
19:43Power bottom.
19:45How do you turn so long?
19:46Just move on.
19:46Move on.
19:47Look, Libby.
19:49Maeve's right.
19:50Why don't you just kiss Phil?
19:52Hmm?
19:53Yeah, see if you feel anything.
19:54Why me?
19:55But don't panic if her lips are cold and solid.
19:58She is made out of ice.
19:59Hey.
20:00Gotta find out somehow.
20:01Uh.
20:02Uh.
20:03I'm not.
20:04Um.
20:05Well, I'm glad you seem to have escaped unscathed.
20:07Probably should have listened to you in the first place though.
20:10Cuts both ways.
20:11Two beers, please.
20:12Thanks.
20:13Alright.
20:14Go on then.
20:15Oh.
20:16Okay.
20:17I don't bite.
20:18She does.
20:20Ready?
20:22Okay, okay, okay.
20:23Just kiss me.
20:28Oh.
20:30They're actually doing it.
20:33So, thoughts?
20:35Um.
20:35That was, um.
20:36Absolutely.
20:38Not for me.
20:40Phillip has an acquired taste.
20:42I'm a good kisser.
20:43Damn.
20:44I really thought that being gay would be the answer.
20:46It might help if you kissed someone you were actually into.
20:49That was, um.
20:50All the clarification I needed.
20:53I'm a good kisser.
20:54Hey, Jack.
20:55I know you know him.
20:57Thank you, Phil.
20:57That was a very informative session.
21:03Good to see she's moving on.
21:09Are you serious, Rachel?
21:11I'm not accusing you of anything.
21:13Really?
21:14Because it certainly feels like you are.
21:15I'm giving you a chance to explain.
21:18You've got to understand.
21:19It doesn't look great.
21:20Trying to get rid of Chris.
21:22Locking me out of the finances.
21:23And you didn't tell me that you were practically bankrupt.
21:26Oh, come on, Rachel.
21:27Listen to yourself.
21:28Do you really think this warrants, what, a criminal conviction?
21:31Obviously not.
21:32I just want an explanation.
21:33Chris is a liability.
21:35The finances were a mistake that I remedied as soon as you flagged them.
21:39And as for my ex-wife taking me to the cleaners,
21:42do you really think I want to broadcast my failed marriage to the world?
21:45This is a fertility clinic, for Christ's sake.
21:47These are vulnerable people.
21:49Exactly.
21:49That's why I care.
21:51Fine.
21:56There.
21:56I just shared the books with you.
21:58You can scrape through them with a knit comb for all I care.
22:00You won't find anything.
22:01Thank you.
22:02You know me, Rachel.
22:04You've known me for a long, long time.
22:07Do you really think I'm capable of exploiting people like that?
22:12What would your father say?
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16I shouldn't have doubted you.
22:18Thank you.
22:29Carter, sorry to keep you waiting.
22:30You've got to get rid of her.
22:31Selene is a valid candidate.
22:33I can't kick her off.
22:34I don't think you have a choice here.
22:36What are you doing?
22:38Hello?
22:40She is a liability, David.
22:43I want her out.
22:44But...
22:44I don't care.
22:46I'm not having Chris Warner's ex as part of our trial.
22:50Every day that Warner is under that roof,
22:53he risks coming across the Lynch name.
22:55And that is not going to happen.
23:00Ugh...
23:03Oh.
23:04Gracias.
