00:01I'm nothing.
00:02Matilda, listen to me. You are not nothing.
00:05Yes, ma'am.
00:05You're not nothing.
00:06Look, please.
00:07You're not nothing.
00:09Don't say that.
00:10You're not nothing, okay? You never were. You never will be.
00:20What the hell is going on?
00:23You are incredible.
00:25What sort of a mother helps her daughter get a guy drunk so she can take advantage of him?
00:29I suggest you turn right back around and walk out that door.
00:31And that's for you.
00:32Have you got anything to say at all?
00:43Hey, welcome back.
00:44You look great, sis.
00:46Thanks.
00:47Just pop yourself on the lounge. I'll put the kettle on.
00:49Here, you give that to me.
00:50Is there anything I can get you? Like maybe a blanket or a pillow or something?
00:54You know, you really do look good, sis.
00:55Guys, you don't have to do this.
00:56Do what?
00:57Make a huge fuss or anything.
00:59Well, maybe we're just a little too happy to see you home.
01:02Yeah, and I'm happy to be home, but you don't have to be so careful with me.
01:07I'm just worried about you.
01:08Don't be, because I know I'm going to be fine.
01:11You've just started your cancelling, Matilda.
01:14Yeah, I know that, and I know that it's not going to be fixed tomorrow, but I'm dealing with it,
01:20so can we just try and be normal now?
01:24Yep.
01:25Yep.
01:25Yep.
01:25Cool.
01:30I just can't believe even sheep try something like this.
01:33Yeah, and some people are pretty warm.
02:03That couch is Italian suede.
02:05We're making it easier for them, do we?
02:06I had everything under control.
02:07Come on, let's go.
02:08Drew, would you like any time?
02:10Oh, yeah, that'd be great.
02:11Thanks.
02:11Yeah.
02:17You're welcome.
02:23That went well, don't you think?
02:25I think Rick looked pretty sick.
02:27Yeah, but the main thing is Cassie saw you two together.
02:30Yeah, I guess.
02:32You guess?
02:33You told me they had trust issues.
02:35What do you think is going to be the last thing Cassie sees before she goes to sleep tonight?
02:39You all over her boyfriend.
02:42That's not something she's going to forget very easily.
02:45It'll cause ripples.
02:46And once he's single again...
02:55Hi, sweetie, you're home early?
02:57It's not that early.
02:59Everything okay?
03:01Yeah, the party was really, really good.
03:02It was a really great night.
03:04Good, darling.
03:05I'm glad to hear it.
03:06I'm just going to grab a glass of water and go to bed.
03:08I'm pretty tired, so do you mind if we talk about it in the morning?
03:10No, no, not at all.
03:12You have a good night's sleep now.
03:15Who the flippin' next ring was on the night?
03:24Hello?
03:27Yes, Al?
03:30He was what?
03:32Oi!
03:33Not so fast, girly.
03:37She seems really great.
03:39Yeah, I agree.
03:40Maybe too great.
03:41What do you mean?
03:41Oh, she just sounds too confident for my liking.
03:44Hang on, she did say that she knows it's got them fixed tomorrow.
03:46Yeah, but I'm just worried, you know, that she's too ready to put this thing behind her.
03:50What did I miss?
03:51Nothing.
03:52Do you want a cup of tea?
03:54Nice try, Rob.
03:55You guys are talking about me.
03:58Yes, we were.
04:00But it's just because you're our focus now.
04:02We just want you to get better.
04:04Yeah, and I will get better.
04:07I know that you guys don't think it's that simple, but it's like my counsellor said.
04:11You just need to understand that if I'm struggling, I will tell you.
04:15I've hidden this thing for way too long, and I'm not going to do it anymore.
04:18You just have to trust that I will speak up, because you guys watching me all the time,
04:23it's going to drive me mental.
04:25Okay, so basically you just want us to chill out.
04:28Hey, chilled out is my middle name, sister.
04:32Actually, it's not, but we do get the point.
04:37Oh, he's at home, even he's hard up.
04:39Yeah, it's not my fault he can't handle his alcohol.
04:42Maybe he didn't quite know how much alcohol he was having.
04:45What is that supposed to mean?
04:47I'm saying that maybe someone slipped him a few mickeys.
04:50Mickeys?
04:51I don't even know what you were talking about.
04:53I'm talking about Rick turning up to a party that you pushed so hard for,
04:57and ending up with a skinful inner clinch with you.
05:01Is that what all this was about, eh?
05:02Some dodgy plan to get Rick back?
05:05He should be with me, not her.
05:07Oh, Belle.
05:08I love him.
05:09How can you not understand that?
05:11What I understand is that you can't trick someone into being with you.
05:15No, you don't get this at all.
05:16Only Amanda does.
05:18Well, isn't that a flippin' surprise?
05:20No, she understands me.
05:22She wants me to be happy.
05:23No, she doesn't.
05:24She wants to worm away into your life.
05:27Yeah, well, at least she cares about me.
05:29Well, she's got a funny way of showing it.
05:31What's so funny about believing in me, about encouraging me to go for what I want?
05:35Well, at the expense of everyone else, Belle.
05:38Of Cassie, of poor Rick.
05:40You listen to me, girly.
05:42Amanda is not the role model you're after.
05:45And you're such a perfect role model.
05:46You're the one who bashed up her kids when she was a full-on alco.
05:54Just don't think you can judge Amanda.
05:56Or me.
06:10Hey, how'd you sleep?
06:12I, um, I didn't.
06:14You weren't thinking about Maddie?
06:15Yeah, I just, I can't shake the feeling that I should have seen
06:19what was going on with her.
06:20Hey, come on, we've all had those thoughts, mate.
06:21At the end of the day, it doesn't matter anymore.
06:23She's getting help she needs now.
06:24Yeah, but it still doesn't change the fact that I caused all of her problems.
06:27Hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:28You did not cause anything, okay?
06:30Oh, come on, Dad.
06:31All this stuff with Lee happens, then Maddie gets sick.
06:33I think it's pretty obvious I'm to blame.
06:35Listen, mate, what happened to Maddie is nobody's fault, all right?
06:39Beth's told us that she's been suffering from self-esteem issues for years now.
06:42You know that.
06:43Okay, so I just made things worse then.
06:47Luke, look, Maddie was in a bad spot, okay, and she couldn't cope.
06:50That is all, all right?
06:51But she's turned the corner now.
06:53All right, so the best thing we can do is put the past behind us
06:56and concentrate on the future.
06:58I went out to get the paper, and he followed me home.
07:01Can you keep him?
07:02I hope everyone's hungry, because I just cooked some eggs.
07:04Oh, okay.
07:04I was actually going to head up for a walk,
07:06and then have some breakfast at the diner, so.
07:09Oh, okay, right.
07:11We did talk about everything going back to normal, right?
07:13You guys said you were going to trust me.
07:15We do trust you, and if you want to have breakfast at the diner,
07:17then that's what you should do.
07:18Yeah, I'll go with you.
07:19Me too.
07:22Come on, please.
07:24Otherwise, I'm going to have to have my dad's eggs.
07:27So this is just about breakfast, really?
07:31Well, in that case, you're buying.
07:35Oi!
07:36What the hell were you thinking
07:38that most kids had grog at that party?
07:40Oh, please, I've already had the lecture from Sally this morning.
07:43And you wonder why I don't want you anywhere near Belle.
07:46Actually, it's pretty obvious.
07:47You're threatened by me.
07:49I mean, you can't bear the thought
07:50that anyone else might be better for Belle than you.
07:52Better?
07:53Don't make me laugh, Amanda.
07:55Ever since you've been hanging around her,
07:57she's completely changed.
07:58That's right.
07:59She's now got more confidence, and she's assertive.
08:02Try manipulative and deceitful.
08:04And if you think I'm going to hang around
08:06and watch you wave your magic wand
08:07and turn her into a mini version of you,
08:10you've got another thing coming.
08:11I think Belle can make her own decisions,
08:13and I hardly think she's going to view you as a role model.
08:16The point is, you're brainwashing her,
08:19and I won't stand for it.
08:21Are we really going to do this again?
08:23Because you can't stop me from seeing my own daughter.
08:26Yeah?
08:27Watch me.
08:28While she's living under my roof,
08:29you are not to go anywhere near her.
08:31You got it?
08:33Excuse me.
08:39Morning, Meg.
08:40Hey.
08:41There you go.
08:45We took off for you this morning.
08:47I was hoping we could talk.
08:52Jess, I'm sorry.
08:54I was so drunk.
08:56I didn't know what was happening.
08:57I didn't kiss her back.
08:59I suppose you didn't know how drunk you were getting either.
09:01No.
09:02Oh, please.
09:03Well, I'm serious.
09:05Look, all I remember was she sat me down on the couch,
09:08and I was waiting for you,
09:09and then she brought me all these tricks,
09:11which were like triples or something,
09:14and then she made me dance with her.
09:17She made you dance with her?
09:19All sort of, yeah.
09:21And then I started feeling really sick.
09:24Cass, she wanted this to happen, okay?
09:27She set me up.
09:27She wanted us to fight.
09:31I'm an idiot.
09:33Yeah.
09:37I need some air.
09:43Hey.
09:44Hey.
09:45How full on was last night?
09:47Yeah, it was pretty crazy.
09:49Talk about perfect timing.
09:51Yeah, I don't think Rick and Cassie will be together for much longer.
09:54I reckon you could be right.
09:55Cassie was pretty dark with him on the way home.
09:57Really?
09:57She wouldn't even look at him.
10:06So, is everything cool when you got home?
10:08Totally.
10:09You mean, Leah and Dad didn't even mind you went to the party?
10:12I don't know.
10:13What?
10:14Yeah, I spun them some line about having to walk Cassie home,
10:16and they completely bought it.
10:18They're so loving me at the moment.
10:20Yeah, I wish Irene was like that.
10:22Bit of a drag, is she?
10:24She found out what went down at the party.
10:26She totally got into me.
10:27I gave her as good as I got.
10:30She doesn't even want me hanging out with Amanda anymore.
10:33I know the woman's not perfect, but she is my mother.
10:36Irene's got no rhyme.
10:42Drew must have been in on it too.
10:44We should have seen them on the beach together.
10:47Well, what did he do?
10:48I didn't even see him at the party.
10:49No, he was too busy keeping me away from the party until Belle had it all set up.
10:53That's why he wanted me to study last night.
10:55See, I knew that guy was dodgy.
10:56Now I've got to go talk to him.
10:57Oh, Rick.
11:04Maddie.
11:05Hey.
11:06Hey.
11:07Um, I think we were going to go check out what muffins they've got today.
11:11It's all right.
11:11Yeah.
11:11Yeah.
11:14I heard you were home.
11:15That's great.
11:18Maddie, I'm so sorry.
11:23I know you didn't want me to tell anyone, but I was just so worried.
11:26I didn't know what else to do.
11:28I needed help.
11:29I would have done the same thing if I was you.
11:32I'm just so glad you're okay.
11:36So, um, what was up with Rick?
11:37He looked like he was about ready to explode.
11:40Ted, we're still waiting on a big breakfast.
11:42Yeah, all right.
11:42Get your pants on.
11:46I'm sorry, love.
11:47I'm sorry.
11:48It's just this flippin' party of bells.
11:50I knew it would end in disaster.
11:52What happened?
11:53Well, didn't Drew tell you?
11:54Drew was at the party.
11:56You lied to us.
11:58You deliberately misled us.
11:59I know it probably looks that way.
12:00Did you go to the party?
12:01Well, yeah.
12:02So it doesn't look that way.
12:04It is that way.
12:05And were you drinking?
12:06No way, I swear.
12:06Look, I was only there for half an hour.
12:09I know I should have said something, but...
12:11Yeah, you should have.
12:12But I wasn't there for the party.
12:13I was only there because I walked Cassie.
12:16That part's true.
12:16So why didn't you just tell us that, Drew?
12:19Because I was freaked about how it would look.
12:21I'd only just finish saying that I was going to pull my head in.
12:24I didn't want to let you guys down.
12:26All right, now I know.
12:27But for next time, it's that easy, okay?
12:30All right, I've got to go to work.
12:32Hey, Leah.
12:34Thanks.
12:38I've got to work.
12:39Hey, Leah.
12:41Thanks.
12:43Thanks.
12:46Thanks.
12:53You don't know when to quit, do you?
12:54What are you talking about?
12:55You know exactly what I'm talking about.
12:57Stay away from me and stay away from Cassie.
13:00You got that?
13:00Or what?
13:02I'll show you how much of a lightweight you really are.
13:15Hey.
13:17Hey.
13:18How are you feeling?
13:19I'm wasting your time.
13:21Sorry?
13:22Belle, I know what you've been up to, and after everything you've done, we're never getting
13:26back together.
13:27You can't say that.
13:29Well, I said it and I meant it.
13:30We belong together, Rick.
13:31No, I belong with Cassie.
13:33There's no good for you.
13:34She doesn't know what's best for you.
13:35What's best for me is to stay as far away as possible from you.
13:39Rick.
13:39No, Belle, Belle.
13:40This is how it is, okay?
13:42I want nothing to do with you anymore.
13:44Just stay out of my life.
14:02What's wrong?
14:04He never wants to see me again.
14:06Oh, sweetheart.
14:07Cass.
14:08I love him.
14:09How could he do that?
14:10How could he just shut me out like that?
14:12What happens?
14:14He found out what I did.
14:17Everything was all right when we were together.
14:19I could handle anything because he was always by my side.
14:23Look, I know that it hurts now, but there's going to be someone else.
14:27No, I don't want anyone else.
14:29He was special and he used to think I was special too.
14:35Look at how he hates me.
14:39Wait, so how did she take it when you told him?
14:42I don't know.
14:42I didn't stick around.
14:44Yeah, and besides, what did she think was going to happen when he found out?
14:46Well, that's kind of the point, isn't it?
14:48She wasn't planning on him finding out.
14:51The thing I don't get is why Drew helped her out.
14:54Don't worry about it, okay?
14:55He's an idiot.
15:01Are you okay?
15:03Fine.
15:07Who's completely up front about it?
15:09No excuses, no trying to get out of it.
15:11No, half your luck.
15:13Seems every time I open me mouth these days, Belle has a go at me.
15:16Let me tell you, she's going to mouth on it when she wants it.
15:19Well, it sounds like you two have a few things you need to talk about.
15:22I really don't see what good talking about it's going to do.
15:25Well, you're going to have to deal with it sooner or later.
15:30Love, are you all right to hold the fort for a bit?
15:37I don't know what I'm going to do.
15:40Well, I'll tell you one thing you're not going to do.
15:43You're not going to cry one more tear for this guy.
15:46Yeah, right.
15:46I'm serious.
15:48All he's told you is what he thinks he wants.
15:51We just have to show him what he's missing out on.
15:53He'll soon change his mind.
15:57I thought I made myself perfectly clear this morning.
16:01What are you talking about?
16:02Irene's ordered me to stay away from you again.
16:05Irene?
16:06That's why I came here, because I wanted you to know that that's not what I want.
16:09Why are you doing this?
16:12Because she's a bad influence on you, and I won't have her in the house.
16:16Well, I want her to stay.
16:17Well, like I said to you last night, girly, you don't always get what you want.
16:20Amanda, get out.
16:22I don't believe this.
16:23No, no, it's okay, Belle.
16:24I'll go.
16:25I don't want to cause any more trouble.
16:26I'll speak to you soon, okay?
16:31You have absolutely no right.
16:34I have every right to do what I think is best for you.
16:37And if that means getting poison like that out of your life and setting some decent boundaries,
16:42then so be it.
16:43You do not know what is best for me.
16:45And the first boundary I'm setting is you're grounded.
16:48What?
16:48You heard me.
16:49I'm not having you run amok like you did at that party.
16:52And speak to me the way you did last night.
16:55I won't stand for it.
16:56I can do whatever I like.
16:58You give me a lift, girly.
16:59There'll be worse consequences.
17:00You'll stuff your worst consequences and your stupid grounding.
17:03You get back here.
17:04Don't you dare.
17:05We'll go over and make...
17:08Good.
17:12I'm coming.
17:18I'm so sorry about Irene.
17:20Oh, you poor thing.
17:22After everything you've been through today with Rick, it's the last thing you needed.
17:26Yeah, I know.
17:28Irene should have at least tried to understand that.
17:30Yeah, instead she did the complete opposite and grounded me.
17:33For what?
17:34She's learned that there are consequences if I play up.
17:38You have to learn.
17:40What are the consequences for her sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong?
17:43Yeah, I know.
17:43How unfair is it?
17:44I mean, I'm only staying with her.
17:46It's not like she's my mum.
17:48No, she's not.
17:50You don't have to stay with her if you don't want to.
17:54What do you mean?
17:55Well, if you like, you could come and stay here.
17:58Look, I just see all the pressure that she puts on you with all of her rules.
18:02And I want more for you than that.
18:04And then I think about how nice it would be for you and Ryan to spend more time together.
18:08Let alone you and me.
18:10It'd really give us a chance to get to know each other as a family.
18:13Without her looking over our shoulder the whole time.
18:16Look, I understand that it's a big decision.
18:19And I don't want to put any more pressure on you than you already have.
18:23I just thought it'd be nice for you to think about it.
18:34Oh, how was breakfast?
18:36Good.
18:37Where are the boys?
18:39Robbie went to see Kim and Luke's checking out the surf.
18:41Where are you guys going?
18:42Well, we were going shopping.
18:44Why don't you come with yourself?
18:46Oh, no, I think I'll just hang out here.
18:47Well, we don't have to go now.
18:49Mum, it'll be fine.
18:50No, no, look, we'll chuck a DVD on, it'll be alright.
18:52Seriously, guys, it's fine.
18:54So can you just go?
18:55Oh, okay then.
18:57We won't be long.
18:58Okay, see you.
19:00Bye.
19:01See you later.
19:21Bye.
19:22Bye.
19:24Bye.
19:27Bye.
19:38Bye.
19:38Bye.
19:45Bye.
