00:00Should we go next door and check on Kit and Archie? I mean, they're taking a fair while.
00:03Oh, that's probably her now.
00:05What are you guys planning to do for dinner?
00:07Um, I don't know. Chops, I think.
00:09Nah, they're off, mate. I've got to go out.
00:11I guess I could do a, um, chicken pasta or chicken fried rice if you want.
00:16Oh, really? Well, um, I thought you were giving up on me.
00:19No, I'm giving up on trying to fix things between you and me, but we've still got to eat.
00:24We've got a house to run.
00:25Guys, that was Rachel. Kit's not next door anymore.
00:27Rachel rushed her and Archie off to hospital.
00:29Are you kidding? Is he okay?
00:30Well, they don't know yet. She should have taken him back earlier.
00:33Okay, I'll grab your stuff and I'll drive you up there.
00:34Oh, no, no. Well, Rachel said that there shouldn't be too many people there and I'm going with Rick.
00:38All right. Okay, what about me?
00:41One extra should be okay.
00:48I called. Matilda's on her way.
00:51I couldn't get through to Kim.
00:53Thanks.
00:55Any drugs been administered yet?
00:57Only fluids.
00:59Has Dr. Porter said anything?
01:01Has he given you a preliminary diagnosis yet?
01:03No, he's still talking to Hugh.
01:05To Hugh?
01:06Yeah, he came in after he went to make the phone calls and they've been talking ever since.
01:10I wish someone could tell me what was going on at least and I could cope.
01:15So I was panicking, was I?
01:17Kit, you weren't meant to hear that.
01:18It doesn't make any difference if that's what you're thinking.
01:21I was having a professional argument with Hugh and I exaggerated things just to make a point.
01:26I'm sorry.
01:36What are you doing?
01:37Your shift's finished.
01:39Sorry?
01:40Porter's looking after Archie so you don't need to worry.
01:42Rach, they are packed to the rafters in pediatrics so I asked if I could manage the case until they
01:47find room for him.
01:48I'm only thinking of Kit and Archie.
01:51Hi, Kim.
01:53Do you know what's wrong with him?
01:54No, we don't know what's causing his temperature at the moment.
01:57We're running some blood tests.
01:58Hopefully that can give us more of a clue then.
01:59But is it serious?
02:00I mean, is it meningitis?
02:01Any fever is serious.
02:03Hopefully these tests can rule out meningitis.
02:06The main thing is, is to make sure it doesn't get any worse.
02:08Okay?
02:09Can we check on those blood tests?
02:11Yes.
02:12We'll be back in a moment.
02:18Hugh's good.
02:19We'll look after him.
02:20Rachel, you can stay if you like, but let's not talk.
02:27Everything all right?
02:28Forgot to take the bins out.
02:30I'll do what you want.
02:31Don't worry, I'll do it.
02:34It's a bit late, isn't it?
02:37Now, he's in a good mood.
02:38He's a little stressed.
02:39He's not sure if he's still got his job yet.
02:42What's up?
02:43Sorry, I didn't call because I didn't want to wake up the whole house,
02:45but Archie's been taken to hospital and I was hoping you could give us a lift.
02:48Yeah, let's put some clothes on.
02:50What's wrong about you?
02:52You're not a bad mother.
02:53Don't be silly, okay?
02:55These things can happen to anyone.
02:57That's right.
02:58Here.
03:04Kid, is that you okay?
03:05Don't take him away for more tests.
03:07Maddie, I shouldn't have left.
03:07Hey, it's okay.
03:11Hey, how is he?
03:12Do we know what it is yet?
03:13Look, we still haven't got the test results back, sorry.
03:16We've got him on a broad-spectrum IV antibiotic,
03:18to hopefully knock any bacterial infection on the head.
03:21Also getting some fluids into him now,
03:23so with any luck, we should see an improvement soon.
03:25I tried, but he wouldn't feed.
03:26That's why he's dehydrated, isn't it?
03:27Look, it happens, kid, and usually very quickly,
03:30so don't beat yourself up about it.
03:32Okay.
03:33Can I see him?
03:34Yeah, sure.
03:35Julie, I'll take you through.
03:37I'll go over there.
03:38I'll give you some coffee.
03:39Come on.
03:50Don't look so miserable.
03:53Thanks for staying and doing this.
03:56I'm sorry for blaming you earlier.
03:58I was just feeling so bad myself.
04:00No, no need to apologise.
04:03Um, where's Kim?
04:04He's visiting his dad.
04:07I take it he hasn't got the message yet.
04:10Do you think he'll be angry with you?
04:13There's nothing he could possibly say to make me feel any worse.
04:28You're a dark horse.
04:30Sorry?
04:30Well, I just heard about the Fellowship to South Africa.
04:33Good for you.
04:34Right, yeah, thanks.
04:35Could you just keep that low-key?
04:36I haven't told everyone yet.
04:37See?
04:38Dark horse.
04:41See?
06:20Oh, that good, hey?
06:23Real coffee.
06:23Real coffee shop.
06:27How are you holding up?
06:29Oh, I'm okay.
06:31Liar.
06:33Listen, um, there's something I have to tell you.
06:36Oh, that's Kim.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:40Kim.
06:40Hey, um, how's Archie?
06:42Um, we're still waiting on test results, but he has had a good night.
06:46Uh, good night.
06:47What does that mean?
06:48Well, he was running a high temperature, but it started to come down now, and he's been rehydrated.
06:53He's still quite sleepy, and we don't know what the underlying infection is yet.
06:57Okay.
06:57Um, listen, sorry I wasn't here.
06:59Thanks for taking care of him.
07:00Can I see him now?
07:01Yeah, he's just through here.
07:02Where's Kit?
07:03Oh, she's with him.
07:05Sorry to interrupt.
07:07Archie's notes.
07:09Glory has made an incident report.
07:12What?
07:12You're kidding, are you?
07:14No, well, she was the triage sister yesterday, and she says you saw him and discharged him
07:19without keeping him in overnight.
07:20No, that's just unnecessary.
07:22What's going on?
07:23Nothing, mate, just a bit of red tape.
07:24Look, I'll take care of this.
07:25You guys go and see Archie.
07:29What are you doing?
07:30That's a formal report.
07:31Look, I was there yesterday.
07:32There is absolutely nothing to report.
07:34Even so, you can't do that, Dr. Sullivan.
07:36Well, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I can do what the hell I like.
07:43Hey, mate.
07:47Don't know what I'll do without you.
07:49I'll never forgive myself.
07:51Hey, that's not going to happen.
07:53My little fellow was burning up, and I wouldn't bring him back.
07:57How come?
08:00Rachel hasn't told you the full story.
08:02No, she hasn't.
08:03What's Rachel got to do with this?
08:06Kid, what happened?
08:08When Archie first got sick, I brought him straight here.
08:11And then I ever heard Rachel saying that I panic and that I ever dress him, and it was
08:15probably my fault.
08:16No, she didn't say that.
08:17Actually, yes, she did.
08:18And it really upset me, so I took Archie home.
08:21What?
08:22And he didn't get seen to?
08:23Well, I called another GP, but he didn't turn up, and then it got worse.
08:28I can't do this anymore.
08:29I can't be in this town.
08:30And Rachel and I are getting on it.
08:32And now look what's happened.
08:33Hey, it's all right.
08:43Are you kidding me?
08:44I've already been over there today.
08:47All right, well, how big is it?
08:48Well, Sal, that means I've got to go over there and measure up, and then I've got to
08:51go...
08:53Okay, I'll see you later.
08:55Problem?
08:55I made the mistake of drilling some holes for Betty Orsop, and now she wants me to put
08:59a plug in the wall so that she can hang some hideous bowling plunge.
09:02Have you seen the drill bits in there?
09:04You could try the laundry.
09:05I'm supposed to be going for a workout, but I guess that's going to have to wait.
09:09It's okay.
09:09I've got them.
09:10We're going to the education department need a bomb under them, mate.
09:13Don't you worry.
09:14Just hang in there, eh?
09:15Hey, I got a call from Tony this morning asking if I'd seen you guys, and what's going
09:19on with Archie?
09:20Well, he should have called the hospital.
09:21Well, he didn't know that you were staying here.
09:23Now, look, I thought it was the deal that we all know what's going on.
09:25Yeah, but that deal was made for Mum.
09:28Uh, we'll call...
09:29We'll call him.
09:30Sorry.
09:33Damn Betty Orsop.
09:35She and a bowling plaque come late until I finish my workout.
09:38You know what, at least you've still got a use around you, mate.
09:40I seem to have gone past my use right now.
09:42Oh, but where I should be is at the school.
09:46Sally's doing her job and mine, and she's not even talking to me about it anymore.
09:50It's like, no, she thinks that I'm out of the loop already.
09:53How long you, uh, suspended for until they make a decision?
09:56Oh, no, it's just hanging over our heads like a big black cloud.
10:01Yeah, I know that feeling, like my own personal black cloud at the moment.
10:05Yeah, well, I knew you meant down to the house, mate, but you're back at home now, aren't you?
10:09Yeah, it seemed it was an uneasy truce.
10:11Truce?
10:12About what?
10:13I know something happened about the Naomi time, but, you know, why'd you cop any of the flack?
10:18Well, I coincided, mate, but it was a separate issue.
10:20I just have handled a few things badly since Beth died.
10:23Well, if you want to talk, I'll listen.
10:27I know, I seem to force the issue with Lucas and the boat and everything.
10:30That all went pear-shaped yesterday.
10:32I should have known better, you know, but I've always remembered when my old man just put me to work
10:35and then he'd stand there telling me what I was doing wrong as well, so...
10:38Well, maybe he's more tense about this whole Naomi thing at school than what you realise.
10:43You're just the innocent one copying it.
10:45Now, once the investigation's over, it'll all go back to normal.
10:49You reckon?
10:50Yeah.
10:54You're not in there with Kim?
10:57He asked if I minded if he went in by himself first.
11:02Tackful.
11:03I know what she's doing.
11:04She's in there telling him everything.
11:06He'll hear your side too.
11:08You'll be too late by then.
11:10I know, Kim.
11:11You'll take her side.
11:25Okay, thank you.
11:26Bye.
11:28We're still not sure what Archie's got.
11:30Do you want to go back to Elbert?
11:31Oh, well, Kim's with her now, so I think we'd better leave him some time alone.
11:35It must be horrible not knowing what he has.
11:38Thanks.
11:38Any news on Archie?
11:40No.
11:42Listen, I was thinking about doing the big Tommy Crew's lamb roast, you know, roast potatoes and peas and have
11:47a nice early and take some down a kit.
11:48What do you reckon?
11:49Yeah.
11:50Oh, well, we're not sure what we're doing yet.
11:52Oh, okay.
11:53What about you, Luke?
11:54You're up for a home-cooked meal?
11:56Well, Dad, I think you were right yesterday.
11:59I think that you've been trying way too hard lately.
12:03We all kind of like the idea of you just chilling out and letting us get on with our lives,
12:07so, um, yeah, don't cook for me.
12:10I'll just look after myself, okay?
12:13Sure.
12:15I'll take a rain check on the roast, so, TH.
12:17Thanks, Luke.
12:20Look, it's okay.
12:21I'm not angry at you anymore.
12:22I'm sorry about the roast, but from now on, just do your own thing.
12:29Anyway, guys, Jim.
12:38What is my thing, eh?
12:41What's the million-dollar question?
12:43Well, you know, Dale, it is possible to get used to not having a bunch of teenager monsters depending on
12:48you.
12:49That's all I've ever done.
12:51I wouldn't know what else to do.
12:53No, I really didn't think through that argument with Lucas about the boat.
12:58I only thought he'd come around.
13:00Hmm.
13:01And he'd fuck me instead.
13:03Oh, yeah.
13:04I know that one.
13:05Yeah, the shopping didn't help either.
13:08I just find it really hard to believe that a big, boofy bloke like you had to go for some
13:13retail therapy.
13:15This life is just so empty, Irene.
13:19You know, ever since Beth died, I just had this gaping hole in me.
13:27When she was around, the bed was full, the fridge was full, our wife was full.
13:37But I really got no idea how to start replacing that.
13:42I really don't.
13:45Hey, why don't you go home for a while?
13:47Have a lie down.
13:47I'll take care of you.
13:48No, I'm not going anywhere.
13:50Okay.
13:52Good, Archie's test results.
13:54It's not meningitis.
13:55Oh, thank God.
13:57So what is it then?
13:58Well, he was suffering from the toxic effects of a viral infection.
14:01So is he going to be okay?
14:03Well, he's not out of the woods yet.
14:05We'll keep him on antibiotics and some fluids.
14:07I expect to see a significant change in the next few hours.
14:11But babies usually bounce back fairly quickly from this sort of thing.
14:15Good.
14:15So you can stop blaming yourself.
14:16He's going to be fine.
14:17Thank you so much for not making me feel bad.
14:20No problem.
14:26I'll be back in a second.
14:31I hope you know what you're doing.
14:44Rog.
14:47Listen, when you came in yesterday,
14:48why did you say all that stuff to Hugh about her panicking all the time?
14:51I said it was a possibility that she may be overreacting.
14:54Without even looking at Archie?
14:55I tried to examine Archie, but you wouldn't let me.
14:57Yeah, because you made her feel like an idiot.
14:58And then she stayed away so long that Archie almost died of dehydration.
15:01Get left before a full examination could be done.
15:03Yeah, Hugh, listen, this is another of your business, all right, mate?
15:06Besides, you know what?
15:06She did that after you made her feel like a bad mother.
15:08I didn't say that, Kim.
15:10Regardless, you don't have all the information.
15:11Listen, this has nothing to do with you.
15:13I appreciate everything you've done for Archie, but just stay out of it.
15:15Look, I'm just giving you the facts.
15:16You're both very lucky that Rachel brought him in when she did last night.
15:19Can we do this later at home?
15:21Yeah.
15:30Sal keeps learning me out to people.
15:32She thinks she's doing the right thing by keeping me busy, but she's driving me nuts.
15:36You know, I'm not a handyman.
15:37I'm a trained educator and manager.
15:41You know, how can she be so blind as to think that she's actually doing me a favour by getting
15:45me to drill holes and fix drawers?
15:47What, do you think I'm being unreasonable?
15:50Oh, you do.
15:52I think you've got a woman at home who loves you, you know, and she's doing everything
15:56she can to get you through this.
15:58I'd do anything to have that back.
16:00Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, mate.
16:03Brad, don't apologise to me, OK?
16:05Just, I don't know, go home and hug Sal and don't let her go until she knows everything's
16:09all right.
16:11Yeah, I might do that.
16:14Are you going to hang around?
16:18Uh, yeah, I'll just have one more in honour of Archie's health.
16:22Oh, mate, see you later.
16:23Yeah.
16:27No, mate, it's the last if you pick up some milk on the way out.
16:31Sure.
16:35Wow, I didn't realise how successful he's having a baby.
16:41I think we're stoked now that Archie's OK.
16:43Oh, of course I am.
16:45No, it's just, um, she's talking about leaving again.
16:48She blames the tension with Rachel for this and wants to get away.
16:52Well, she was always leaving, you knew that.
16:54Yeah, but I didn't think it'd be so soon, or that she'd be so desperate to go.
17:00Hey, guys, guess what?
17:02Dad's gone out.
17:03He's, uh, he's not cooking and he's not trying to shove any dinghies down my throat.
17:06Yeah, you finally got the message.
17:09Can I get you another drink, mate?
17:12Uh, yeah, I'll have a nightcap.
17:15Shouldn't you be going there?
17:16To what?
17:19Fair enough.
17:20Look, if you're talking nightcaps, maybe you should have a go at this great new cognac we just got in,
17:25mate.
17:34This is right off the top shelf.
17:44You must be exhausted.
17:45I'm too happy to care.
17:48Hey, I didn't mean to cause trouble between you and Rachel today.
17:51I was just scared.
17:52Kit, listen, you didn't do anything wrong.
17:55You were just trying to look out for him.
18:03I'm still here.
18:05Who was that paperwork for the incident report?
18:07I should probably start filling it out.
18:09It no longer exists.
18:11Why?
18:12Dr. Sullivan got rid of it.
18:15I don't know what's going to happen now.
18:17I guess it depends on Gloria whether she's going to take it any further.
18:20It's crazy.
18:21Well, he won't be here to worry about it.
18:23What do you mean?
18:24Haven't you heard?
18:26Hugh got the post into Johannesburg.
18:28And he's taking it?
18:30Mm-hmm.
18:30He's only rostered on till tomorrow.
18:32We're going to have to organise a farewell for him.
18:34Doesn't leave much time.
18:36But we'll have to give him a send-off.
18:45How I Met Your Mother, next.
18:57Hi.
18:59Hi.
19:00Can I come in?
19:02Yeah.
19:08Okay, so...
19:10What, it's true?
19:11You're leaving.
19:14Is this that important thing that you didn't want to spring on me before?
19:16I did try and tell you.
19:19Look, the registrar from Johannesburg only rang me yesterday.
19:21I've hardly had a chance to think about anything, so...
19:24Well, they can't expect you to just up and leave at such short notice.
19:28It's not reasonable.
19:29I mean, you need time to consider the offer.
19:31Would it make any difference, Rach?
19:33You made it pretty...
19:34...where you stand.
19:36I mean, unless anything's changed.
19:42You know I want to be with you.
19:44But if I can't, there is nothing for me here.
19:47You have a career here.
19:48You've got friends.
19:49All right, Rach.
19:50Look, how about you decide?
19:54You tell me what to do.
19:55Stay or go.
19:55Your choice.
19:57But if I stay, it's with you.
20:01And if I go, I can assure you I'm not coming back.
20:06So what's it going to be?
20:13Will they save their marriage?
20:15Or will they follow their hearts?
20:18I love you.
20:18Who will leave the bay forever?
20:21Tomorrow on Home and Away.
20:22I love you.
