00:05Ah, I was just about to call you.
00:08I've got to pop to the school and finish some paperwork.
00:11And I was just happy you might have to look after Pippa for me.
00:13I'll just put her down. She shouldn't be any trouble.
00:16Yeah, sure.
00:17Is everything okay?
00:21Hello. I thought you were meant to be at work.
00:22Well, I left my toolbox here this morning.
00:24And then I've got to go up to Jack's. He's cousin's down.
00:26And then Ray said he wants to say something to me.
00:29Nothing serious, no?
00:30Yes, I...
00:32Can I move it somewhere?
00:34Oh, it's here.
00:36Thanks.
00:39Hey, do you want to do something this Saturday?
00:41Do you want to go to the beach?
00:42Yeah.
00:43Bye-bye. Bye.
00:44See ya.
00:48Sure everything's okay?
00:49Yeah, fine.
00:52How are you feeling about everything with Rick and Macca now?
00:56I already told you, Rick's the one I want to be with.
00:58Oh, yeah, I know.
00:59It's just...
01:00I couldn't help but notice your odd reaction just now.
01:04And it's got me thinking.
01:05Well, there's no need to worry, okay?
01:07Like I said last week, Rick's the one I love.
01:09And he's the one I want to be with.
01:10I'm happy with Rick.
01:11And no matter what feelings are being stirred up,
01:13just because Macca's back in town,
01:14they don't change the way I feel about things.
01:16At the end of the day, Macca's the one I want to be with.
01:19Macca?
01:20Rick.
01:21I meant Rick.
01:24I'll see you later.
01:25Don't worry about Pip, she'll be fine.
01:31She's beautiful, isn't she?
01:33She's amazing.
01:37Why don't I love her?
01:42You know, all your life you have this idea of what it's going to be like when you're a mum.
01:47And, yeah, you know, like you read that stuff in magazines
01:50and you see those happy mums on TV
01:54and it's just like none of it's real.
01:59I mean, at least not for me, you know?
02:04I was really hoping that all that, you know,
02:09those fears I had about not loving the baby
02:12would disappear when I saw her for the first time.
02:20They didn't, you know?
02:27You know, like, it was weird.
02:28I was holding, like, holding my baby
02:31and she just felt like a stranger.
02:37God, what sort of person feels that way?
02:39I'm just horrible.
02:41Why are you not? You're confused.
02:43Probably he's not even the dad
02:45and he loves her like she's his own.
02:48I can't even pretend to feel that way.
02:51You know, like, I really want to love her.
02:54I do, but I just...
02:55I just can't.
02:59Meg, what am I going to do?
03:02You have to tell Robbie.
03:04No, I can't.
03:05Yes, you have to.
03:07He'll understand.
03:09No, no, he'll just hate me for feeling this way.
03:12No, he won't.
03:12You can't go through this alone, Tash.
03:15You have to tell him.
03:17Ah!
03:22Ah, just the bloke I wanted to see.
03:24You still looking for work?
03:26Sorry?
03:26A job.
03:27You're still after one?
03:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:28Well, that's good.
03:30Because young Willie, who works for me part-time down at the bar,
03:32has just handed in his notice.
03:34He's off to uni.
03:35So, uh, there's a job going there if you're interested.
03:38Yeah, that sounds good.
03:39Are you all right?
03:41Yeah, I'm fine.
03:41I'm just a bit distracted, that's...
03:43But, um, the job, the job sounds good.
03:45Good.
03:45Well, you can start the survey.
03:46Your uncle owned a pub, didn't he?
03:48You should know your way around a bar.
03:51Manker?
03:52Yeah.
03:53Hey, of course, sir.
03:54Are you sure you're all right?
03:56Yeah, good as gold.
03:56Oh, really?
04:02What?
04:09Oh, my God.
04:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:13Hey, Cass, is that you?
04:14What are you doing?
04:15Rebecca!
04:16Help me, please.
04:17I'm just worried.
04:18I'm not turning it off.
04:19It's not warm.
04:20I know, it's raining.
04:21A wrench?
04:21A wrench?
04:22A wrench?
04:23Excuse me.
04:24Um, yeah.
04:25Come on, under the seat.
04:26No, Rush.
04:27T-Town, T-Town, T-Town.
04:28Oh, sorry.
04:30I'm going to attack.
04:31Oh, I'm sorry.
04:32I'm going to attack.
04:33Oh, no, I'm talking.
04:34I'm talking.
04:35Oh, oh, oh.
04:37Rebecca!
04:47I think...
04:47Do you hate me?
04:49Of course I don't hate you, Tash.
04:51I'm just glad you finally told me how you were feeling.
04:56And you are going to beat this, okay?
04:59How?
05:01I don't feel anything for Ella.
05:03I know.
05:04But we'll get through this, I promise.
05:07What if I don't?
05:08What if I never feel anything for it?
05:11I really don't want to feel this way anymore.
05:15You don't have to go through this alone.
05:17What are you talking about?
05:19I had a chat with Irene and Martha when you were outside,
05:21and we thought it might be a good idea for you to talk to someone
05:24about what you're going through.
05:25Someone who understands firsthand how tough it can be for first-time mums.
05:28And since she's a midwife, that's when we thought of charity.
05:33Hey.
05:34Oh, hey.
05:36And we don't want you to feel pressured.
05:38So if you don't want to talk about it yet, that's okay, too.
05:40Robbie's right.
05:41You don't have to share anything, Tash.
05:42I know how painful it can be, but from what Robbie's told me,
05:46you've been having a pretty rough time.
05:48Yeah.
05:49I just don't...
05:50I don't really see a way through it.
05:52You know, what you're going through is not that uncommon.
05:56Happens to lots of mums after they give birth.
06:00I don't really think there's a lot of mums
06:01that don't feel anything for their baby.
06:03I know how it sounds, but it's true.
06:06There's something called baby blues,
06:08which can last a few days after the birth.
06:10But from what the others have told me,
06:12you seem to be displaying all the classic symptoms
06:14of postnatal depression.
06:16Postnatal depression?
06:18Is that what you think I've got?
06:19The beginnings of it, yeah.
06:21So how does she get it?
06:23It varies from person to person,
06:24but I've no doubt that in Tasha's case,
06:26it's a reaction to all the stressful events
06:28she went through during the pregnancy.
06:31But a lot of mums have stressful pregnancies
06:33and they don't feel this way.
06:35Only a bad mum would feel this way.
06:38No, it's not true, Tasha.
06:40You know, every woman has expectations
06:42of what pregnancy and motherhood should be like,
06:44and sometimes when a mum doesn't feel the way
06:46she thinks she's supposed to about a baby,
06:48she ends up thinking that she's a bad mother,
06:50just like you have.
06:51But, Tasha, you have to realise
06:53it just takes time to adjust to being a mum
06:55and it's OK to ask for help.
06:58It's a lot to learn.
07:02Is that why you're here to help me?
07:05If you'll let me, yeah.
07:07Please, Tasha, you have to try.
07:09For Rella's sake.
07:12OK.
07:14You're going to get through this.
07:15I know you will.
07:20Well, that should hold for the time being,
07:22but you better get a plumber in pretty quick some other.
07:24Thank you very much.
07:25That's all right.
07:27Oh, man, look at this place.
07:29Sal's going to freak.
07:31Maybe she always wanted an indoor pool.
07:33That is so not funny, Macca.
07:34It's going to be a nightmare to clean up.
07:36Yeah, it's a big job.
07:37Pity I have to get going.
07:39What, so you're not going to help me?
07:41No way.
07:41You're the one who busted the tap.
07:43You?
07:44Well, I just saved your back,
07:46so I thought you might show a bit more appreciation.
07:47Of you?
07:48Never.
07:49Oh, that's going to be right.
07:55You should go.
07:56I could stay, help you clean up.
07:58No, Macca.
08:01We've got to talk about this, Cass.
08:03I know you've still got feelings for me.
08:05No, I don't.
08:06Please go.
08:08All right.
08:10But you can't ignore your feelings forever, Cass.
08:30Hello.
08:31How did everything go with Pip?
08:32Was it all right?
08:33What's wrong?
08:36Oh, no.
08:37That's when a kitchen tap finally gave up on us.
08:41Hey, it's all right.
08:42The plumber will look after her.
08:43Don't be upset.
08:45It's not that.
08:47Well, what is it, then?
08:52It's Macca.
08:54I think I still love him.
08:58What am I saying to do, Sal?
08:59I'll come here.
09:07There you go, doll.
09:08It should be warm enough.
09:09Oh, it's perfect.
09:10Thanks, Irene.
09:11Do you think this will help?
09:13Oh, it's only a first step,
09:14but we need to make Tasha as comfortable as we can with Ella.
09:17There she is.
09:18Hey, what's going on?
09:19You're going to give Ella a bath.
09:21Why?
09:22How is that going to help with this?
09:23Rob, can you put Ella down there for me?
09:26Thanks.
09:27I still don't...
09:27I don't really get why we're...
09:29Tash, could you unwrap Ella for me?
09:32Okay.
09:34That's it.
09:37You all right?
09:38There you go.
09:40Okay, now I want you to put your left hand behind Ella's head.
09:44Yeah?
09:45And your right hand behind her back.
09:50And lift her gently into the water.
09:52I don't want to drop her.
09:53I won't.
09:54I'll help you.
09:58Oh, I don't think she likes it.
09:59She's fine, Tasha.
10:01Now, just put her in the water.
10:05It's perfect.
10:07Oh, it kind of feels weird.
10:09How am I meant to wash her if I've got one hand under her neck
10:12and another one under her back?
10:13It's easy.
10:13Just take your right hand away from her back and use that to wash her.
10:16But don't I need to hold her?
10:17As long as you keep supporting her head, Ella's body will float in the water.
10:21Really?
10:22Yeah, it's easy.
10:22Give it a go.
10:24It's okay, Tasha.
10:25I'm right here.
10:27There you go.
10:28And now you can use your right hand to wash her.
10:31Wow.
10:33It's easy once you know how.
10:36Okay.
10:37See, one of the big myths associated with motherhood
10:40is that first-time mums think that they should know instinctively
10:42how to look after their babies.
10:45But we should, shouldn't we?
10:47It doesn't work like that, Tash.
10:49You know, like anything that's new,
10:50it just takes a bit of time to get into the swing of things.
10:53You need to work out what Ella likes and what she doesn't like.
10:56That's the only way you can learn to be the best mum you can for her.
10:59And the more you get to know little Ella,
11:02the more she'll respond, just like she is now.
11:10Every time I'm with Macca, I get that feeling again.
11:13Like when we first met.
11:16And I thought after what happened, I'd never feel it again with him.
11:20So I was wrong.
11:23And the worst part is I've been trying to block out the way I feel about him.
11:27But whenever I see him or I think about him,
11:29those feelings, they come back.
11:33And I don't know what to do about it.
11:37Well, I think the answer to that is pretty obvious.
11:40Especially after what he did last time.
11:43I knew you'd say that.
11:44Well, he hit you, Cassie.
11:45But he's changed.
11:47He's been to counselling.
11:48He got the help he needs.
11:49When is everyone going to accept that he's not like that anymore?
11:53Well, what about Rick?
11:56Yeah, that's what hurts the most.
11:59The last thing I want to do is hurt Rick.
12:03I thought the two of you were really tight this time.
12:07No, I thought that you were in love with him.
12:11I do love him.
12:13And I thought things were different this time.
12:15I really did.
12:15But now I'm not so sure.
12:18It's an awful thing to admit, I know.
12:20But these feelings for Macca, they just, they won't go away.
12:25I don't, I don't know what to do.
12:29Well, you know how I feel about Macca.
12:33But I also know how hard this must be for you.
12:36And as painful as it's going to be, you really just need to make a decision, Cassie.
12:43You know, you need to decide who it is you want to be with.
12:47It's not fair to string them both along.
12:55Oh, sweetie, you're doing really well.
12:57And Ella likes her too.
12:59Do you think so?
13:00Well, she's made a peep since you started.
13:03Guys, I've got to go.
13:03I told Jack I'd meet him at the dine-on.
13:05Is that okay?
13:06Yeah, no worries, Tom.
13:07Are you sure?
13:08Yeah, it's all under control.
13:10Yeah, I can see that.
13:12I'm really proud of you, Dad.
13:14See you guys.
13:14See you.
13:15See you, love.
13:16Okay, now it's time to wrap little Ella in a blanket.
13:20That's the way.
13:22Now, the thing is with newborn babies is that when you wrap them up,
13:25they like it to be nice and tight.
13:28Just like in the womb.
13:30Exactly.
13:31How did you know?
13:32Oh, when Ella used to get restless when I was pregnant,
13:36I used to kind of cradle my tummy quite tight.
13:38and used to settle her down a lot.
13:42Sounds like you know this baby a lot better than you think.
13:47Hello?
13:48It's okay.
13:49Oh, hey, Maura.
13:50What's up?
13:51Hey, you guys.
13:52Are you kidding?
13:54Okay, well, I'll see you there.
13:55Bye.
13:58Oh, I was meant to meet Maura here at Yabby Creek today.
14:00She's managed to track down a QC who might be able to help me with the case, remember?
14:03Well, love, you better get moving.
14:05Well, Mum's got my car.
14:06Well, I can give you a lift if you like.
14:08Do you have to go?
14:09Yeah, this guy could really help with the case, Tash,
14:11but you'll be okay with charity, weren't you?
14:13Of course you will be.
14:14Love, you'll be fine.
14:15You're in good hands.
14:17We won't be long.
14:18Okay, I'll see you later.
14:19Bye.
14:19See ya.
14:20Bye.
14:21See ya.
14:38We need to talk.
14:42Yeah.
14:52How's she doing?
14:54Good.
14:55I think she's getting a little bit sleepy.
14:56Hmm.
14:57She loves being with her mum.
15:00How are you feeling?
15:02Um, I feel okay.
15:05It feels a little bit weird, but it feels good.
15:08You made a great start, Tasha.
15:10Oh, it's me.
15:15Hello?
15:17Uh, the contraction's started yet?
15:20Okay, yeah.
15:20I'll try and get there as soon as I can.
15:23Is everything alright?
15:24No, not really.
15:25Um, one of the mums I've been working with has gone into labour.
15:28They need me to help with the birth.
15:29I'm gonna have to go, Tasha.
15:30Okay.
15:31What about Ella, though?
15:32Ella will be fine.
15:34What if something happens, though?
15:36Nothing's gonna happen.
15:37Look, she's due for a sleep now anyway, so when you're ready, just put her down.
15:40She'll be fine.
15:42Sorry to have to do this, Tasha, but I wouldn't go if I didn't think you could handle it.
15:46Just remember everything that I've told you, and if you need me, I'll be on the end of this phone,
15:50okay?
15:51Mm-hmm.
15:51Mm-hmm.
15:51It's okay.
15:52You'll be fine.
15:55See ya.
15:56Bye.
15:56Bye.
15:56Bye.
15:57Bye.
15:57Bye.
15:57Bye.
15:58Bye.
16:00Bye.
16:05Why did you come back, Matt?
16:07I already told you I wanted to settle down and put the babe on.
16:10Oh, what's the truth?
16:11Did you come back here for me?
16:14Tell me.
16:16Yeah.
16:17I came back for you.
16:19I wanted to show you that I changed and I was a new person.
16:22I was hoping that you might change your mind about me and we could get back together.
16:25The last thing I wanted to do, Cass, was putting your pressure on you.
16:28When I realised you were still with her, I honestly tried to put you out of my head.
16:30But I just couldn't.
16:33I didn't feel so strong about someone, it's hard to turn those feelings off.
16:37But after what you said in the diner when I was with Amanda, I realised that you still
16:40felt something.
16:43Look, I know this can't be easy for you, especially when you're still with Rick, but if you truly
16:47love him what you say you do, then you shouldn't be feeling this way about me, right?
16:50Don't say that, Macca.
16:52Why not?
16:52It's true, isn't it?
16:53No.
16:54I love Rick.
16:55Yeah, I know you do, but I don't think it's the same sort of love that we should.
17:01Cass, what we had was magic.
17:02We can have it again.
17:04The last thing you should be doing is staying with Rick because you don't want to hurt him.
17:08I love you, Cass, and I don't want to go without you anymore.
17:13I love Rick.
17:14That's where my heart is and that's where I want to be.
17:17You don't mean that.
17:18Yes, I do.
17:19What I have with Rick is worth holding on to, and I don't want you getting in the way.
17:22So from now on, you have to just stay away from me.
17:24Cass, this is just crazy.
17:25No, it isn't.
17:26This is crazy.
17:27It's not.
17:27If we're going to be living in the same town, then we're just going to have to avoid each other.
17:31I need to just focus on Rick and I'll be fine, but I can't do that if you're around.
17:34Okay.
17:35It's the only way, Macca.
17:36Okay.
17:38I've got to go.
17:45Yeah, it was pretty cool of Ray to offer it to me, and the last thing I want to do
17:47is let him down.
17:48I just wanted to check with you guys.
17:49It's okay that I go.
17:51Go where?
17:52To the city.
17:53For three weeks.
17:53I've been asked to take part in a mechanics course as part of my apprenticeship.
17:57Are you going to go?
17:58Well, I'd be stupid not to.
18:00I mean, not every apprentice gets an opportunity like this, and Ray said he's going to pay for everything.
18:04Sounds pretty good to me, mate.
18:05When do you go?
18:06Oh, that's the thing.
18:07I have to be there by tonight.
18:08Oh, I'm sure we can look after that.
18:11Excellent.
18:12You're going to be able to live without me for three weeks?
18:15Yeah, of course I can.
18:34It's okay.
18:34It's okay.
18:35Come on.
18:41Come on.
18:43Come on.
18:58It's the last one, Grandad, I swear.
19:00Well, thank the Lord for that.
19:02I mean, how many bags do you need for three weeks, eh?
19:03Come on, I've got two.
19:04I'm going to go and wait in the car.
19:06Well, I'll take this one, eh?
19:07Give you two a bit of time on your own.
19:09Well, thank you, driver.
19:11Hogan's Ghost, what have you got in it?
19:17Are you okay?
19:18Yeah, I'm just going to miss you, that's all.
19:22Come on, I'll be back before you know it.
19:23Yes, I know.
19:30Maybe I should go away more often.
19:31No.
19:33You're fine, okay?
19:34I will.
19:35I'll see you soon.
19:43Guys.
19:46What are you doing here?
19:48I told you not to come around here anymore.
19:49Yeah, I know, I know.
19:49I was just going in the van.
19:50I saw Rick and Alf load another car.
19:52What's going on?
19:54Rick has to go to the city for work.
19:56For how long?
19:58A few weeks.
19:59So he's not going to be around for a while?
20:01No.
20:03Lola.
20:05I'll catch you later.
20:17Just calm down, please.
20:20Calm down, girl.
20:21Come on.
20:21Stop crying now.
20:24What do you want?
20:25I don't know what you want from me.
20:28Do you want a drink?
20:30Don't make a thing to come down.
20:32Come on.
20:33Please, Ella, just stop crying now.
20:36Come on.
20:38Ella.
20:39Ella, come on.
20:40Stop crying.
20:42Just shut up.
20:44What is it?
20:44Just shut up.
20:47Oh, God.
20:49Oh, God.
21:01She's a wicked little liar.
21:03Kim's just getting what he deserves.
21:05And now she's found her next victim.
21:07Last.
21:08We're all alone.
21:09Yeah, and you need to go.
21:10But can they expose her past?
21:12The game's come to an end.
21:13Before she ruins his life?
21:15Get away!
21:15The next week, she's still in love with her ex.
21:18I know you want this.
21:19It's just as much as I do.
21:20But when her boyfriend's away.
21:22Don't want to wait another day without you.
21:25Trust me, Cass.
21:26This is ruined.
21:27Will she follow her heart?
21:28Home and away.
21:29Next week at 7.
