00:05Previously, on Shortland Street, why does everyone think the worst of me?
00:08If it does make you feel any better, Izzy did the same thing.
00:11Had an affair with this old executive.
00:13What?
00:14Yeah, had her old what.
00:15Oh my God.
00:17I don't want to be alone.
00:18Look, you're not.
00:20Shut up.
00:27This is the worst time to need to be right now.
00:32Three, two, one.
00:34Woo!
00:36Yeah!
00:38First up on the catwalk of shame is Dr. Poppy Achari!
00:42Give us a 12!
00:46Oh, oh, and hot on her heels, right?
00:49Nothing but the drugs of last night's conference.
00:52It's Mr. Ash!
00:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01That's not, that's not weird for you, right?
01:04No, it's all good.
01:05You sure?
01:06Yes, get over yourself.
01:07Honestly, I think it's great.
01:09Okay, great.
01:10We are so close to a flat orgy now.
01:14We're going to hit the showers.
01:15Oh, come on.
01:16It was just a joke.
01:18You sure you're all good?
01:20Yeah.
01:21Poppy's our tahua.
01:22It was probably always going to happen.
01:27How goes fertility land, Selina?
01:29Missing us in service school.
01:31I've seen you.
01:32And she's gagging to know what you wanted to do.
01:34No, not.
01:36Oh, it's my first appointment as a patient.
01:38Oh, wow.
01:38How do you choose a dollar?
01:40Do you get to see the photos?
01:41No, I'll just give you a profile.
01:42Right.
01:43That way you're not swaying by any hotings.
01:45Yeah, yeah, we've all got the vital stats,
01:47like height, hair colour, education,
01:49and I just read between the lines.
01:51It's exciting.
01:52Yeah, and scary and expensive.
01:54Good luck.
01:55Thanks.
01:57I didn't realise you were starting right away.
01:59We're not doing this question.
02:01So, is Nas forgiving you yet?
02:03Not yet.
02:04Damn.
02:06Well, she keeps tripping away.
02:08Sure will come round.
02:11Eventually.
02:12Yeah.
02:14So, brave of Selina to have a baby on her own?
02:17Better than having a baby with some loser.
02:20Totally.
02:21So, who was the last loser that you dated?
02:23Like, proper relationship, not like a hook-up.
02:27Don't know.
02:28It was a while ago.
02:29Still, not someone you'd want to have a baby with me.
02:31What's with all the questions?
02:33Are you pregnant or something?
02:34What?
02:35No.
02:37Selina!
03:06Oh, morning.
03:08Have you eaten already?
03:10No, no, no.
03:11I've just made this for you, and sorry I didn't clean up after last night or this morning,
03:15but I cooked.
03:16You should clean.
03:16It's only fair.
03:17Right, sure.
03:18But before you go...
03:19I've got to go.
03:20Wowza.
03:20Look at the time.
03:21Um, Libby.
03:22Not really.
03:23Goodbye.
03:23Have a nice day.
03:27What a bizarre evening.
03:29Libby is quite the kook.
03:31We're living with her.
03:32She does mean well.
03:33I remain confused as to why we were there.
03:36I think Marty was too.
03:45Look at me.
03:48You had sex last night.
03:50Shut up.
03:50My God, you did.
03:52You are red-eating scandal right now.
03:54Ooh, and the rest.
03:56Tell me everything.
03:59I got drunk and slept with my flatmate.
04:02Ash?
04:03Well, I wasn't going to go for Cindy or Cody, was I?
04:06Does your mum know?
04:07Of course not.
04:08Stop.
04:09So, wait, sorry.
04:10Sorry, let me get this straight.
04:11So you banged your stepdad?
04:14You are sick.
04:15Oh, that is rich coming from you.
04:16I'm never telling you anything again.
04:18What is it with this guy?
04:19Is it the accent or just because he's new?
04:21Are you serious?
04:23Yeah.
04:23Well, you guys go feral for it.
04:25Yeah.
04:25Have you seen him?
04:27Yeah.
04:27I'm sorry.
04:28Don't get it.
04:29Whatever.
04:31Forget about Ash.
04:32Worry about your boyfriend.
04:33Worry that he's super cute and hasn't slept with my mum.
04:36He totally lashed out at me.
04:39Oh, what did you do?
04:40Excuse me?
04:41Cody only bites when bitten first.
04:43All I was doing was comforting him about his brother.
04:46He told you about Toby?
04:48Uh-huh.
04:48He lost it at me.
04:50Was he drunk?
04:51Doesn't matter.
04:52Yeah.
04:53They were twins and his death was like really, really traumatic for Cody.
04:56It still is.
04:57Well, then he needs help dealing with it.
05:02Keep the sea spine stable.
05:05Shallow breathing.
05:06Airways clear.
05:06Hulses rapid.
05:07She's bleeding out.
05:07I need to apply pressure to the wound.
05:09Bailey!
05:09She's going to be okay.
05:13Okay, let's get her on the board.
05:16On your count.
05:17One, two, three.
05:22Izzy.
05:23One, two, three.
05:26Okay, let's get her on the stretcher.
05:28One, two, three.
05:33Okay, let's go.
05:36Izzy, come on.
05:36Get her on the set.
05:37Izzy.
05:41Oh, shit.
05:42Jesus Christ.
05:44Sorry, sorry.
05:45Sort yourself out.
05:46You're making things worse.
05:50So, you and Rachel, how long's that been going on for?
05:54Decades.
05:56Nothing happened while I was with your sister.
05:59And maybe nothing's happening now.
06:01Really?
06:02After all this time, you two still can't get your ex together?
06:05I don't know if I can trust her.
06:09That's fair.
06:10Sure you don't want to celebrate me being in limbo while Selena happily moves on?
06:14No.
06:14No, no.
06:15Trust is everything.
06:16Without her, you're kidding yourself.
06:18Yeah, but maybe trust can be rebuilt.
06:21If you say so.
06:24This is Bailey.
06:25She fell backwards over the railing outside.
06:27She's bleeding.
06:28Compound tib-fib.
06:29GCS 10.
06:3090 systolic.
06:30And she's tacky at 140.
06:31She needs a collar.
06:32Grab a pressure dressing.
06:34Got it.
06:35And, um, cool CT.
06:36Let me know.
06:36Sure thing.
06:37Give me a hand.
06:43Your nose.
06:44Just another day in the office, babes.
06:45What happened?
06:47Injured in the line of duty.
06:48Oh, my God.
06:49You poor thing.
06:50Did someone hit you or were you caught in the crossfire?
06:52Oh, that's brutal.
06:53We've all been there.
06:54Yeah, so good of you to come back.
06:55I mean, but I'd call plastics for you in case there's permanent damage.
06:58Oh, don't worry.
06:59I'll be okay.
07:00CT's waiting for you.
07:02Okay, let's get her in line.
07:03Ash, this is unacceptable.
07:04You should have told me.
07:06I didn't really think you'd want to know.
07:07Of course I do.
07:08Look, I'm aware we don't know each other very well, but when you mess up this badly...
07:12Okay, well, we were drunk.
07:13Okay, but I don't really think it's any of your business anymore.
07:15What?
07:16I get that you're upset.
07:17Okay, but coming down here while she's working is a little inappropriate.
07:21What are you talking about?
07:22What are you talking about?
07:23Mr. Gettys post-operative medication.
07:24You missed that it's...
07:27It's serious.
07:30That makes more sense.
07:31Um, I'm so sorry.
07:34So you and Poppy?
07:36No, sir.
07:37I need to search for a consult in Cube One.
07:39Sure.
07:47He knows.
07:53It's so much more meaningful when we know the client.
07:56Look, I am not a doctor or a nurse, but I will be there for you every step of the
08:01way.
08:01Thanks, Libby.
08:02That means a lot.
08:04I do need you to pay your fees, though.
08:06It was due yesterday, before today's appointment.
08:08I know.
08:10Okay, so the first step is the bloods and the ultrasound, and once you have a donor,
08:14and then the same for them and the semen analysis.
08:17And the meds are all dependent on whether you need a simulated cycle,
08:20and then we do sperm preparation.
08:22And if you add it all together, that's kind of the base fee for your first round.
08:28Wow.
08:29Yeah.
08:30It's not cheap.
08:31Okay, worth it, though, right?
08:32Yeah.
08:37Oh.
08:38One sec.
08:42Hi, Amanda.
08:43Just take a seat, and I'll be with you shortly.
08:54You are good to pay, though, right, Slyna?
08:56I'm not giving up just yet.
09:00Now, I shouldn't tell you this, because I am not a doctor, but...
09:05What?
09:06Well, there is a round of funding for some patients.
09:09I don't know the criteria, and there's no guarantee.
09:11How do I sign up?
09:13You need to speak to David Cooney.
09:18Must have hurt, getting punched in the face.
09:21Right.
09:22Are you seriously going to let them believe that?
09:24Yeah.
09:25Why not?
09:26Because it's completely made up.
09:28You're saying something happened when it didn't.
09:29I didn't say it.
09:30Sage assumed.
09:32Well, you didn't correct it.
09:33My face got smashed in.
09:34What does it matter how it happened?
09:36It's what, you just lie for attention.
09:37Oh, I don't have to try to get attention.
09:40Oh, my God.
09:41Oh, you okay?
09:42Of course, I'm okay.
09:43I just can't fathom how you'd think blaming your injury on a defenseless teenager is okay.
09:48So cute when you go full duama.
09:51You know what?
09:51I can't.
09:53You're unbelievable.
09:55If that doesn't shift it, we can trace some glucagon to relax the esophagus,
09:59and just keep monitoring your sets to be safe.
10:04Nas knows.
10:06How?
10:07Ash told him.
10:08Why would he be a freak and do that?
10:11You tell me.
10:12Oh, God.
10:13No, no, no, no, no.
10:14Don't do that.
10:15You are free to do what you like.
10:16I didn't think.
10:17I just did it.
10:19Do you think you and Ash will keep it?
10:20No, no, no.
10:22What do you reckon?
10:23I mean, yeah.
10:24Poppy's great.
10:25She's pretty into it.
10:26She's only just broken up with Nas.
10:28She wasn't thinking about Nas last night.
10:31Right.
10:32I'm sure that you know what you're doing.
10:37Want to stay at mine tonight until your flatmates stop sleeping with each other?
10:40Oh, no.
10:41We just got wrecked.
10:43I'm sure they're not going to do it again.
10:44And Poppy said that you got upset.
10:48Yeah.
10:49I told them about Toby.
10:51And that you had a go at it.
10:54No, I didn't.
10:55Okay, well, Poppy can be sensitive.
10:57She probably just took something minor to heart.
10:59Well, I hope I didn't.
11:00We had quite a mashup of cocktails being served, but I still feel like I would remember something
11:04like that.
11:05Is she all good?
11:07Yeah.
11:07Yeah, she's fine.
11:08You sure?
11:09Totally.
11:15And would it be okay if I joined you?
11:18With Harry, now.
11:19If that's still your plans.
11:21Um, it is.
11:23I miss him.
11:24Right.
11:25I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
11:28So, would it be okay?
11:29I'm kind of getting whiplash here, Chris.
11:33I'm not sure it's a good idea.
11:35Well, it was your idea.
11:37Yes.
11:38Of course.
11:39Um, let me talk to him.
11:40But you said he wanted to see me.
11:42He needs stability.
11:45And you don't think I can give him that?
11:47I don't know if I'm ready to let my son down again.
11:51If you leave.
11:52I wasn't planning to leave, that is.
11:55I know.
11:57Do you?
11:59Will you let me think about it?
12:01Of course.
12:05Okay, so let me get this straight.
12:07She used Maeve and Crane as a shield, and you let her.
12:11It is a lot harder to pin her down than you might think.
12:14Every time I see her, it's a monologue or a dinner party,
12:16or she just straight up runs away.
12:19Guess that settles it.
12:20It's Libby's house now.
12:22I'm so glad you're enjoying this.
12:24Look, I think we can both agree she is not the one for you.
12:27You know what?
12:28I don't know if I believe in the one anymore.
12:30No.
12:32Talk later.
12:33Mm-hmm.
12:36I hear you've been in the wars, Bailey.
12:37She sure has.
12:39And so have you, I see.
12:40Oh, all part of the service.
12:43She has an open fracture of the tip fib.
12:45She fell backwards, so we're waiting on a head CT before we take into surgery.
12:49Okay, great.
12:51Would you like me to step in, Dr. Tuff?
12:53Oh, no.
12:54Uh, I'll be okay.
12:56It looks a lot worse than it actually is.
12:57Okay.
12:58Well, let me know if that changes, if you need the day or if you need a CEAP.
13:02EAP?
13:03For what?
13:04Emotional distress caused by her own incompetence?
13:06I'm sorry?
13:07You were there.
13:08She did it to herself.
13:10No one did it to her.
13:12I don't remember, sorry.
13:13Well, I'll remind you.
13:14She pulled so hard on the side of the stretcher that she punched herself in the face.
13:17Okay, I think we can leave it there.
13:19You saw that, right?
13:20No.
13:21Phil, can you go check on the CT, please?
13:23She's blatantly lying.
13:24Phil, CT, now.
13:29I'm so sorry about that.
13:37Am I intruding?
13:38No.
13:39I'm just more of an introvert than I let on.
13:42I get that.
13:44Have you ever missed this place?
13:46Not at all.
13:47I miss Chris, though.
13:49I can imagine that Chris is a different person to the one you remember.
13:52Yeah, and no.
13:56Crane stayed over.
13:58Yeah, she did.
14:00Looks like it's moving into more serious territory.
14:03It can't.
14:04No?
14:05What?
14:06Aside from her other partner.
14:09I'm still not ready.
14:11Even the smallest thing makes me feel trapped.
14:15Well, you were stuck in a difficult relationship for a long time.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Yeah.
14:22Serious is not for me.
14:23Yet.
14:24Chris is the same.
14:26Terrified I'm going to hurt him.
14:29I don't blame him.
14:31No, I just mean, it must be hard for him leaving this place.
14:35After everything he's lost.
14:36I want to protect him from losing anything else.
14:39Give him time.
14:40It obviously loves you.
14:42Is it?
14:43Yeah.
14:44It is.
14:47If you ever speak in front of a patient like that again, it'll be an official warning.
14:50You can't be serious.
14:52I've had enough of your childish games, Phil.
14:54It's all good.
14:54Let's just move on.
14:55No.
14:55Not until Phil realises she can't just say whatever she likes to whoever she likes with no consequences.
15:00Of course you're taking her side.
15:01This is so unfair.
15:03All I did was tell the truth and I'm being punished for it.
15:04Phil, you don't even realise the effect you have on people.
15:07You should be looking to Izzy as an example on how to conduct yourself.
15:10Oh, really?
15:12Did you know little Miss Perfect over here, she left her last job because she had an affair
15:16with the boss?
15:17Phil.
15:18What?
15:19It's true.
15:20Ask her.
15:21Unbelievable.
15:23What?
15:23You're going to cry now.
15:27You truly astonish me with how vile you can be.
15:30I hope you're happy.
15:32I am, actually.
15:33Because if I have to be punished every day for my passing, so should she.
15:36Fear is fear.
15:43Have a great night, Libby.
15:44Thanks.
15:45I'm off home to get dumped.
15:49Oh, um, what makes you say that?
15:52Well, there's only so many times that Marty can say, Libby, we need to talk before I have
15:56to accept my fate.
15:58Well, you don't know that, for sure.
15:59Go and talk.
16:00See what happens.
16:01Oh, well, of course that's your advice.
16:03I'd rather be you right now.
16:04I'm not sure you would.
16:06Well, you've got your golden goose.
16:07I mean, you're probably going to go ice skating with Rachel and off to Thailand to have some
16:12pictures with some elephants while I'm living in the on-call room.
16:15You what?
16:16I just want someone to love me the way Rachel loves you.
16:19I mean, what else is there?
16:20Well, there's a lot you don't know.
16:22And she still loves you after Harry and everything.
16:26And then she bored me, like half to death, about when she became the tooth fairy and she
16:30gave him a check instead of cash.
16:32Yeah, I remember that.
16:35Thanks, Libby.
16:36Happy to help, Chris.
16:37Happy to help.
16:41Hey, I had my first appointment today just with Libby.
16:44Oh, good for you.
16:45And I heard that you were funding some patients.
16:48Did Libby tell you that?
16:49I want to put myself forward.
16:50It's for a limited number of patients and you don't fit the criteria.
16:53I'm sorry, Celine.
16:54I've got to go.
16:54But can't we just sit down and talk about what the criteria is?
16:57No.
16:57Why?
16:58How do you even know I'm not eligible?
16:59This is incredibly unprofessional.
17:01I'm just asking.
17:02And I've given you my answer and I don't appreciate being harassed as I'm walking out the door.
17:05Harassed?
17:06Yes.
17:06And to be perfectly honest, this shows me that you may not be the right person to work in the
17:09clinic.
17:09Of course I am.
17:10The fertility journey can be challenging.
17:13I know.
17:13And if separating your personal and your work life is already this much of a challenge,
17:17I need to find another nurse.
17:27Hey.
17:29Um, so about last night...
17:33Let's not.
17:34Okay, well I just wanted to say, I know it's probably awkward for you with your mum and...
17:40Don't talk about my mum.
17:43Yeah.
17:44Absolutely.
17:46Uh, well I just wanted to say, I've had a lot of fun and I hope you did too.
17:55I don't feel good.
17:57Are you kidding?
18:12You don't waste any time.
18:14Excuse me?
18:15What was it?
18:1624 hours?
18:17Maybe just 12.
18:18Last time I checked, I was free to do what I like.
18:20What are you going to tell me?
18:21Tell you what, exactly?
18:23That you're seeing Ash.
18:24I'm not seeing anyone.
18:25Just following in your mother's footsteps then.
18:29No, no.
18:30You don't get to say that and then just walk away.
18:33Don't have anything else to say.
18:34What exactly do you want from me, Naz?
18:37Shall I just wait in time while you go live happily ever after with your family?
18:40I just want basic respect and I would have hoped to have heard this kind of thing from you.
18:45Okay, I'll tell you.
18:47I slept with Ash.
18:48That was great.
18:49And if I feel like it, I will do it again.
18:52And you know the best thing about that?
18:53Is he doesn't have a pregnant girlfriend.
19:02You don't have to say it.
19:04Libby.
19:04No, I mean it.
19:06I know things are over between us and you don't have to say it out loud.
19:11You don't have to speak it into existence.
19:14In fact, don't.
19:15It can save me the humiliation.
19:17Well, it's just things are really complicated.
19:20Yeah, I know.
19:21I understand.
19:23You do?
19:24Yeah.
19:25You're a really wonderful man, Mari.
19:27You're pretty great yourself.
19:29One day, when you're ready, you're going to make someone incandescently happy.
19:35Yeah, you will too.
19:36You deserve that.
19:38I know.
19:39Okay.
19:40Well, maybe we should talk about this living situation.
19:42Can you just tell me why?
19:45Sorry?
19:46Can you tell me why you're dumping me?
19:48I mean, it's not just you.
19:50It's everybody.
19:51Like, why does it keep happening?
19:53Maybe you just haven't found the right person.
19:55No, but I have.
19:57Over and over, I'm the problem.
19:59It's me.
20:01What makes it about me that is so repellent?
20:08How was it seeing Harry?
20:10It was good.
20:12Good.
20:14He wants to see you.
20:16That's not the issue, though, is it?
20:18I'm sorry.
20:19You don't have to explain.
20:21I know.
20:22Well, I can imagine you are protecting him.
20:28Next time we can visit him together.
20:30I don't want to force you.
20:31You're not forcing me into anything.
20:34And yes, I'm scared about what's going to happen with this hospital and with us.
20:40And you still don't trust me?
20:42No.
20:43Not completely.
20:54Not completely.
20:55Be together.
20:58And forget about everything else?
21:00Yes.
21:04I told you that in confidence.
21:07I told you in confidence.
21:08Secrets never stay secret forever.
21:10Yeah, no thanks to you.
21:11What the hell is wrong with you?
21:13You're both as twisted as each other.
21:15You, for pretending to be my friend just so you could tear me down.
21:18Hang on.
21:19I am not involved in Phil's sadistic little power play in any way, shape or form.
21:22Oh, come on.
21:23You are such a kiss-ass.
21:24You hate her, too.
21:25You're not right now.
21:26I hate both of you, okay?
21:28So I'm going to remove myself from the situation.
21:30I'm going to spend the night with my loving, drama-free, and not at all psychotic boyfriend.
21:34Yeah, give him a kiss from me.
21:36There she is, the little home-reaker.
21:38You know nothing about me.
21:40Oh, I know enough.
21:41No, you don't.
21:42You have no idea what happened.
21:44Oh, I'm sure there's a lot of nuance to it.
21:46Oh, my God.
21:47But whatever.
21:48Okay, I'm not judging you.
21:50We're on an even playing field now.
21:51Everyone knows you're just as bad as me.
21:53And I was actually in love with him.
21:54Yeah.
21:55Okay, I don't need the backstory.
21:57I was in love with him.
22:00And I got pregnant.
22:01And stupid me.
22:02I thought he'd leave his wife and we'd be out in the open.
22:05Seriously, you don't need to tell me.
22:07And for all the promises he made, yeah, all the times he said he loved me,
22:10turns out Scott cared more about what people would think.
22:13What did you expect?
22:14I don't know, Phil.
22:17But I didn't expect my dad to take his side and force me to have an abortion.
22:21I didn't want.
22:24You know, for a second I thought maybe I could move on and forget about it.
22:29But now, thanks to you, that is never going to happen.
22:34You know, I thought you might have the tiniest bit of sensitivity,
22:36but now I can see there is something really wrong with you.
22:40I don't know.
22:43I don't know.
22:45I don't know.
22:47I don't know.
22:48You
