00:01Josh, what are you doing back here?
00:02Well, it's simple. I've come back to make amends for all the trouble I've caused.
00:05What a load of guys.
00:06Look, I don't expect you to believe me straight away.
00:08But with time, we'll change your opinions.
00:10Why do you think he's really back?
00:12I don't know.
00:13But whatever the reason, you can bet your bottom dollar
00:15there'll be a truckload of bad luck with him.
00:17You know the baby's Scotts,
00:18and you're gonna do anything you can to stop him from finding out.
00:21So Hayley marries Kim,
00:22and you and Scott live happily ever after.
00:25Right?
00:26So, I'm prepared to keep your little secret.
00:28As long as you do a favour for me too.
00:31There's no way!
00:32Of course there is!
00:34Either you and Len Green get hot and heavy for the camera,
00:38or I tell everyone the truth about the baby.
00:41It's your choice.
00:45You know we belong together
00:49You and I forever and ever
00:53No matter where you are
00:56You're my guiding star
01:00You're my guiding star
01:02You're my guiding star
01:03Hold me in your arms
01:04Don't let me go
01:06I want to stay forever
01:10Closer each day
01:12Home and away
01:16But it's still a risk
01:17Come on, please be fair
01:19Fair?
01:20Do you think Hayley, Scott or Kim would call what you're doing fair?
01:25I'm gonna tell them
01:26I am
01:27I just...
01:28I just need a bit more time for Scott and me
01:30Well, if he's really that important to you
01:33You'll do exactly as I say
01:35Otherwise, I'll just have to tell him everything
01:38Okay, I'll do it
01:40Good girl
01:42Just follow these instructions
01:44You're to go down to Len Green's office
01:46Flutter those pretty little eyelashes of yours
01:49And get him to drive you down to the secluded end of the bay for
01:52Some alone time
01:54Be there by five o'clock
01:56Today?
01:57You'll know what to do
01:59Just make sure it's in clear view
02:01I'll do the rest
02:09Hi, Scott
02:10Scott, hey
02:11Hey
02:12How did your lunch end up going?
02:15It didn't
02:15Oh, I'm sorry
02:17Amanda didn't show
02:18No, she did
02:20Never mind, it's no big deal
02:21Are you sure?
02:22If you feel like chatting
02:24It's all good
02:25Thanks
02:25Fair enough
02:27I'll finally confirm Kim's present
02:29Would you be able to help me pick it up?
02:31Say
02:31In an hour?
02:32Or
02:33If you'd rather do it later
02:34No, no
02:35We probably should just get it done
02:38Scott
02:38If you and Amanda have had some kind of flight
02:40I'm sure we'll work it out
02:43Hey
02:45Hey yourself
02:46Hello
02:47We're off to sample the wedding cake
02:48I'll meet you back here in an hour
02:50Well, what's going on in an hour?
02:51You'll never even mind
02:52Okay
02:54See ya
02:57What's going on?
02:59Nothing
03:00I was just
03:00Mar and the happy couple
03:03Come on
03:18Come on
03:19Oh, hi
03:19Where are you off to?
03:22Where are you off to?
03:23Are we going somewhere mum?
03:25Did you forget you were having him?
03:27No, I was just
03:29Don't worry dad
03:30She always does this
03:31Let's go
03:31No, I didn't forget
03:33I was just
03:34Gonna go out and get some things before you came
03:36I've got plenty of things for us to do today
03:38Go on
03:41So it's lit my mind
03:42Big deal
03:44Have a good time mate
03:57Sweetheart, I know that you're still angry at me for missing your play last week
04:01Look
04:02But I promise I'm gonna make it up to you
04:06Starting with your most favourite thing in the whole wide world
04:09And a table of chocolate sprinkles
04:19Thanks
04:19So you're upset that Amanda missed your lunch?
04:22It's not just that
04:23Every time we argue she turns the tables and makes out that I'm the one in the room
04:27Why would she do that?
04:30I don't know
04:31It's just this insecurity of hers
04:34Insecurities?
04:35Yeah, like today
04:35Instead of telling me why she was late for lunch
04:38She went off at me because Hayley dropped a wedding invite over
04:41And it was the same last week
04:42I told her that I took Hayley to a birthing class
04:45And I was trying to be honest with her and she carried on like I'd deceived her
04:51So Hayley is the reoccurring theme in Amanda's insecurity?
04:55I don't know why
04:56I mean I keep telling her that she's got nothing to worry about
04:58But she just uses it against me
05:01I'm sick of it
05:03Well it's not uncommon for one person in a relationship to be jealous of the other's ex-partner
05:09Why do you let it affect you like this?
05:14Could it be that your problem with Amanda is that she's not Hayley?
05:29Oh Scotty
05:30What do you want me to do mum?
05:33She's marrying someone else
05:35Has she given you any indication that she feels the same way?
05:39I don't know
05:40I don't know
05:41When we're together it feels like there's something there
05:43But has she actually said anything?
05:45What do you think?
05:50You need to think very carefully
05:53Because Hayley's gonna marry Kim in three days time
05:55And they're having a baby
05:57That is one hell of a can of worms to open
06:02I know
06:04But I love her
06:07I never stopped
06:12But why can't I use the chair as a boat to get into the castle?
06:15Because the dragon bit off your legs mum
06:17You can't move unless you find the magic potion
06:21Well that's the beauty of the Lord of the Lounge
06:23We can change the rules
06:24No we can't
06:27You wanna go, don't you?
06:30No honey
06:31Come on, roll the dice
06:35How come you're not like other mums?
06:38What do you mean?
06:40Kids at school say I lived in your car
06:44Look, honey, sometimes when you move countries
06:48It takes a little while to settle down
06:50And you have to be
06:52A tight
06:54Excuse me?
06:56That's what the boys call you
06:57And a bimbo
07:00Well that's not a very nice thing for them to say
07:04Nobody should be able to treat people like that
07:08Nobody
07:18Are you there yet?
07:19I can't do it
07:20I thought we had this discussion
07:22Please, my son is here with me
07:24I just can't
07:25Well I'm just gonna have to have a little chat with Hayley Scott and Kim then, aren't I?
07:30You know, I've been thinking that you'd be stupid to do that
07:33Why?
07:34Because then you'd have to let them know that we know each other
07:37And then they're gonna ask more questions about LA
07:39And you can't afford for that to get out either
07:41I'll take my chances
07:43Now I wonder where I'd find them at this time of the day
07:59Oh, damn!
08:00What's wrong, Mum?
08:02Sweetheart, we're gonna have to go out for a while
08:04Where?
08:05We're gonna meet someone
08:07Who?
08:08Do you remember Josh from LA?
08:10The man was a nice girl
08:11Yeah, that's him
08:12But when we see him, we're gonna play a little game
08:16You're gonna have to pretend like you don't know him, okay?
08:18Why?
08:19Because it'll be fun
08:20Come on, I'll explain more on the way
08:23I can't wait
08:26I've not finished here, why don't we go back to the house?
08:28We can talk some more
08:29Thanks, but I'm waiting to meet Hayley
08:31I've gotta give her a hand with that present
08:33Scott, quick, it's him
08:34What's the present?
08:35Stop it, I told you, it's a surprise
08:36I was just asking him how his day was
08:38Yeah, sure, he doesn't know anything anyway
08:40He's just the driver
08:41Is it okay for getting this inpatient's present now?
08:43Yeah, just the three people I was looking for
08:47That is, assuming you're Kim?
08:48Yeah
08:49Kim, this is Josh West
08:52I've got something I need to tell you guys
08:53And I think you'll all want to be sitting down to hear it
09:10And pretty soon I realised that overseas was changing me
09:13I wasn't the same kid that left the bay a few months before
09:19I don't want to run anymore
09:21Come on
09:24If you race me to the other end you'll get a really big surprise
09:32And now that I'm back, things have become a lot clearer to me
09:35Does this story have a point?
09:37Well, the point is that I found out something
09:40Something the old Josh might have kept quiet, but not anymore
09:44It's about you, Hales
09:46I've got to tell you before the wedding goes ahead
09:49Your baby
09:50Stop!
09:52Can we not do this now?
09:54I'm really sorry, from now on I'll do what you say
09:58What I say?
09:59I mean, you were right about everything
10:02So from now on you can count on me
10:06Sorry, did I interrupt something?
10:08Hi, I'm Amanda
10:10I'm Josh West, nice to meet you
10:13And who might you be?
10:14I'm Ryan
10:15Nice to meet you Ryan
10:16Okay, sweetheart, why don't you go next door and play?
10:22We can't do this now
10:23So, what was that point you were getting to?
10:26About my baby
10:28Oh, look, you see the thing is, Hales, I was hoping to come back to the bay and we could
10:32get back together
10:33But, uh, I realised you were pregnant and you were getting married, and all that changed
10:39This isn't easy for me, but, um, I'm giving you my blessing
10:45Well, gee, thanks, because we were getting worried when I cancelled the wedding
10:49So what has this got to do with me?
10:52Uh, I just wanted you to be witness to that, see the new me
10:56Well, thank you for your blessing, Father Josh
11:00Should we go now?
11:00Yeah
11:01Yeah, and I'll, um, I'm gonna get a drink
11:03Good, good chat
11:05We'll talk later, eh?
11:10Shouldn't you be going somewhere, too?
11:17What was that about?
11:18I don't know, Josh and I were only together for a minute, it was you
11:21Scott, wait!
11:23Uh, Ryan, come here, honey
11:24Look, I told you and we'll talk later
11:26I know, I just wanted you if you'd mind taking Ryan for a couple of hours
11:29Mum!
11:30One second, honey
11:31Oh, I forgot I've got to go to a meeting
11:33To talk to one of his teachers
11:35Apparently he's been misbehaving since I missed his play last week
11:37Mum, I want to go with you
11:39Ryan, just wait, okay?
11:40Maybe you should reschedule the meeting
11:41I can't, please
11:44We'll take him
11:45Look, I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?
11:49Thank you, I promise it won't
11:50Just go to your meeting
12:03Hello?
12:04I'm sorry, she's gone home for the day
12:06Is there anything I can do to help you?
12:08I'm looking for Maylene Green, can you tell me where he is?
12:11Sure, through there, red tide
12:13She is the...
12:16The...
12:17The...
12:18Oh, that's interesting, isn't it?
12:23Mayor Green?
12:25Sorry Missy, our offices are closed for the, uh...
12:30What is it you wanted, love?
12:32Uh, just a few minutes of your precious time
12:35What did you say your name was?
12:37Amy Perkins
12:39Pleased to meet you Miss Perkins
12:40Call me Amy
12:42I'm here because I'm doing a thesis on local government over at NDU
12:46And I've just been given the grant to turn it into a book
12:48A book?
12:50Yeah, it's about the rise of independent mayors across the country
12:54And I'm looking for a subject
12:56The central thrust is what I like to call it
12:59Oh, that's me, you've found him, I'm full of thrust
13:03So, um, you're not busy right now?
13:05As a matter of fact, I'm done for the day
13:08Well, in that case, let me buy you a drink
13:11Just to say thank you, because you're doing me a favour
13:14Anything to oblige
13:17I'll just get my keys
13:24Well?
13:26Well, it's, uh...
13:28Certainly an original idea for a wedding present
13:30Oh, it's a kid who's on one for the gym for ages
13:32Do you think I like it?
13:34Well, if he doesn't, you can always write it off on tax
13:36It's not a tax dodge
13:39Let me do that and we'll be here all day
13:41Oh, right, just because you're pregnant, don't you think you can get away with anything?
13:45I wish you and Mum could be like that
13:48Like what?
13:49Happy
13:51Well, we've had a bit of practice, haven't we?
13:54Mum doesn't want to look after me anymore
13:57Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
14:00That's not true
14:01She loves you
14:03Your Mum and I just had a little fight
14:05And sometimes when older people do that, they need to be alone for older
14:08But you're not alone
14:10You're here with us, and you're having fun
14:14All right, mate
14:15Observation hour's over, hey? You better jump in
14:32Have you got everything that you need?
14:38Now will you tell me what this is all about?
14:40What? The actress wants to know her motivation now
14:44It's a bit late for that, don't you think?
14:46Fine
14:47Well, that's my end of the bargain done
14:49So you won't tell Hayley about the baby?
14:54For God's sake
14:56What more do you want me to do?
14:58Well, my hotel room's empty
15:03Don't you talk to me like that
15:05I'll pay you back your money, but then I never want to see you again
15:09Why stop now while you're doing your best work?
15:12Or are you afraid your kid's going to find out?
15:14Don't you bring my son into this
15:16If you ever go near him, I will make you pay
15:33And you don't think Kim's going to see this here?
15:36He told me he's sick of the place and he doesn't want to lift another barbell until after the wedding
15:41Thanks for helping out today
15:43That's what friends are for, isn't it?
15:45Yeah
15:47And I know I've said it before, but I'm really glad we can do this
15:51After everything that's happened
15:53Me too
15:55Oh, I should let you go
15:56Sounds like you and Amanda have some sorting out to do
15:59Hey!
16:00Dad!
16:01What are you doing here?
16:02Amanda had some parent-teacher thing
16:05Today? She didn't tell me about that
16:07Well, I'm just about to head home, so you can ask yourself if you want
16:10Yeah, I might just do that
16:12Thanks again, and good luck
16:32I need to talk to you
16:33Sure
16:35Hi, honey
16:37Scott, I was just about to give you a call
16:39Come on, mate, let's get that drink
16:43So?
16:44Why'd you dump Ryan on Scott and Hayley?
16:46Didn't he tell you about the-
16:47Oh, come on, Amanda
16:47I know there was no parent-teacher meeting
16:49Okay, keep your voice down
16:51Well, whatever's going on I hope is the end of it
16:52You can't keep doing this to Ryan
16:54I know
16:54He's just a kid and at the moment he thinks you don't even give a damn about him
16:57I am not a bad mother
16:58Oh, he's certainly acting like I'm-
16:59Ryan, let's go, mate!
17:02Ryan, honey, I'm gonna come and hang out with you tomorrow, okay?
17:05We'll do something really special
17:09I know that I treated you badly today
17:11I just-
17:13There's just been so much going on and-
17:15Well, you better tell me what
17:19Thank you
17:32Are you the kid I spoke to on the phone?
17:34That'd be me
17:35What's this about an election and why couldn't you tell me on the phone?
17:39It's a bit too important for that
17:40It better be, I left my wife at a function to come here
17:43Well, you still do some things with her, do you?
17:45What's that supposed to mean?
17:47Well, you've been on the council for, what, ten years now?
17:51Don't you think that's enough?
17:52What sort of rubbish-
17:54Hang on, are you from the paper?
17:57No, I'm just a concerned citizen that thinks it's time you quit
18:01Tom, I-
18:02What the hell are you talking about?
18:07And if you want an extra set for the missus
18:10Don't worry, I've made copies
18:13Len Green, the man you can trust
18:15Oh, is that trust?
18:24Where are you going?
18:26Just because we had a little fight doesn't mean we have to break up
18:28I just think it's better if we have some time out for a while
18:32How long?
18:33I don't know, a while
18:35Please don't do this, we can work it out
18:39I'm sorry
18:40Just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it
18:42I need you
18:44And I need some space
18:46There's something else, isn't there?
18:48Something you're not telling me
18:50I'll call you tomorrow
19:02What's going on here?
19:03Kim, I thought you might-
19:04So is this why I need a Scot's ute?
19:06Sorry for ruining the surprise
19:08It's okay
19:10Do you like it?
19:11Yes, it's great, the clients will love it, thank you
19:14I might have to give it a go myself, provided I survive tomorrow night
19:17Robbie's planning the Bucks party to end all Bucks parties
19:20Just make sure you behave
19:22I'm not cancelling the wedding because you're chained up and covered in cream
19:25It's weird, you know, it's only just hit me how big this thing is
19:29What do you mean?
19:31Oh, it's just a lot to take in
19:33You're not having second thoughts, are you?
19:36Um, yeah, that's what I wanted to talk about
19:39Of course not
19:41Why are you?
19:42No
19:44Good, so we're on track then
19:49We are coming home
19:54The kids are
19:55Oh, I wanna beg your
19:58Only two days to go
20:00You two must be very excited
20:02You could say that
20:03I've got my dress all ready, I can't wait to show it off
20:06Is it a vintage model?
20:08Yeah, it is, how did you know?
20:10And Madge Wilkins says it's all the rage in Hollywood at the moment
20:17Shelter from the Colleen Storm
20:19I can't complain though
20:20Everyone's been really helpful
20:21You know, Scott even carted his son bit around for me yesterday
20:24I've heard
20:26He's been so great about it all
20:28I was worried this might be hard for him
20:30Excuse me, Hattie, Colleen
20:32Can I order some breakfast please?
20:34Yeah, of course, what can I get you?
20:36Have you guys heard about this?
20:38This green resigned
20:39Thought they'd have to carry him out in his coffin
20:41This is the next best thing, mate
20:43Now they can clear the decks and get somebody in there
20:45Who really has the best interest of the bay at heart
20:48I love what you've done with it, mate
20:50Very impressive
20:53Now I want a lot more of these
20:54Do you think you can handle that?
20:56I'll talk to you soon, okay?
20:58Ciao
21:03Check out the hot new Summer Bay clothing range
21:05Available from selected Kmart stores
21:08He's the new Resident Evil
21:10This town's not going to know what hit it
21:12So what's his secret agenda?
21:15I'd be careful making threats
21:16They might come back to bite you
21:18Irene!
21:19Could this just be the start of Mr. Evil's plan?
21:24Ho and away tomorrow
21:26Outro
