00:00Previously on Home and Away.
00:01I don't want things to end up badly for you, and they will.
00:04If you keep lying...
00:05Look, I told you, I just need to work this out for myself.
00:08So just pay me for what you owe me last night
00:10and forget the whole thing ever happened.
00:12Yeah, the whole speech thing does kind of freak me out a bit.
00:14Oh, don't worry. I can help you. I don't mind.
00:18He and I had such a great connection last night.
00:20I always knew that he and I would get back together.
00:23It's just a matter of time, really.
00:39So, I heard last night went unbelievably well.
00:42Is there something that you want to share with me about you and Melody?
00:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47I mean, we mostly just talked about election stuff.
00:50Well, Melody reckons that you did a bit more than that.
00:53She just bailed me up and said that you two were getting back together.
00:56Well, then you must have misunderstood, Nicole.
00:59Well, Melody and I are just friends.
01:00I mean, yeah, we're really good friends,
01:02but there's nothing more going on than that.
01:04Whatever, but a broken-hearted Melody could get really ugly.
01:08I mean, do you really want to be responsible
01:10for putting her back in the loony bin?
01:12Hey, Nicole, don't talk about her like that, all right?
01:15Why not? It's the truth, isn't it?
01:17I mean, rejection right now might just tip her over the edge.
01:20Look, I care about Melody, all right?
01:21So I want you to back off with the crazy jokes.
01:23You know, if there is a problem, Nicole, I'll deal with it.
01:25Hey, I was just giving you a friendly heads up.
01:28But if you want to lead her on
01:29and break her heart, that's your problem.
01:31Hey, Jeff, finished putting up posters in the quadrangle.
01:35Where should we put the banner?
01:37Uh, the front entrance might do.
01:39Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
01:41Can you give us a hand, Nicole?
01:43Sorry, I've got things to do anyway.
01:45Three's a crowd, right?
01:46So I'll just leave you two to it.
01:59Hello.
02:00Hey.
02:01Hey.
02:01Hello.
02:02David's thought.
02:03Yeah, um, just grabbed up, all right?
02:06Miles isn't here before telling me how amazing you look last week.
02:09Oh, OK.
02:10Hey, can you draw me a picture, please?
02:13Oh, my last one?
02:17Yeah.
02:18Hey, do you want to get that?
02:20Oh, no, it's just private number.
02:22They can leave a message.
02:22It's fine.
02:23OK, well, can I just grab a coffee, please?
02:25Yes, of course.
02:26And what would you like?
02:28Um, caca.
02:29Cake.
02:29All right.
02:30Cake for Ollie.
02:34Hey, gorgeous.
02:35Hey.
02:37Look, Irene's just gone to the bank, so I won't be able to take my break for a while.
02:41That's OK.
02:41I don't mind waiting.
02:42At least I'll get to see you in action.
02:44Uh, she could be a while.
02:45Honestly, I don't mind.
02:47Unless you're trying to get rid of me.
02:49No, of course not.
02:50Right.
03:00Don't move a muscle.
03:02I'm taking you away from this place.
03:04And just where exactly do you think you're taking me?
03:06To the beach for lunch.
03:07You won't get a better off than that.
03:09Jai, I can't.
03:10I promised Jeff I'd help hand out flyers for his campaign.
03:13What?
03:13I thought Melody was totally across that.
03:15Then tell me you wouldn't rather hang out with me.
03:19Jai, we're at school.
03:23Um, guys, get a go, Ben.
03:26Sorry, sir.
03:29Hey, sir.
03:31Vote on Jeff Campbell.
03:32He's going to do great things for this school.
03:34Well, if I could vote, you'd be my number one choice, Jeffrey.
03:36All right, everyone.
03:37I'm sure you say that for all your candidates, sir.
03:38I do.
03:40Jeff is going to win with or without your vote.
03:42But he easily has the best policies.
03:44And if I get elected as student representative,
03:46then we'll make a great team.
03:48He's very lucky to have you, Melody.
03:51Well, you've got to get elected first.
03:53Yeah, and I intend to.
03:55So, have you spoken to Jeff, you know, about getting back together?
03:59No, but I think it's going to happen.
04:03You know, all this time working on the election has really brought us closer together.
04:09I think he's on the verge of telling me how he really feels.
04:14Hey, how about you go to the surf club and put up these posters and I'll follow you.
04:18Oh, okay.
04:19Uh, sure.
04:20Okay.
04:21See you, Nick.
04:23Look, thank you so much for all your help, but I think I've got it covered from here.
04:37Hey, sir, is it too late to run for school captain?
04:42Oh, probably.
04:43That is, at the end of the day, you don't have that much time to campaign.
04:45I still think that I can get my message across.
04:47I mean, I've got so many great ideas for this school.
04:50Why the sudden urge to run?
04:51You've known about this for ages.
04:53Oh, I've just realised how important it is that I do this.
04:59You should have rung me.
05:00I've read Mansfield Park, like, three times.
05:02Look, I can come over tonight and help you out with a few essay questions if you want.
05:06Yeah, that'd be awesome.
05:08Hey, you know that I'd vote for you if I could.
05:10Yeah, well, I wish the outgoing Year 12s could, because I need all the votes I can get.
05:16Here, have one of my flyers.
05:18I'm running for school captain and I'm really committed to it.
05:21You want to make the school canteen go vegan?
05:23Are you kidding me?
05:24Hey, animals have rights too, you know.
05:26Ah, well, they don't.
05:27Well, there's no need to waste the paper then.
05:34Yep, you're really going to wipe the floor with me today, aren't you?
05:37Lulling you into a false sense of security, Rosetta.
05:40Right.
05:43You're not wearing earrings today.
05:44You don't like them?
05:45No, I love them.
05:47I just want to save them for special occasions, that's all.
05:50Like this shot here?
05:52Oh, in the bag.
05:53One nil.
05:55That's pretty good.
05:56I'll have a go, get ready for it.
06:06Hey.
06:08Hi.
06:09Fine, you?
06:10Yeah, good.
06:13Have you heard anything about the development?
06:15No.
06:16You said to drop it, so I dropped it.
06:18Anyway, it was your cause, so...
06:20I thought you were going to hand it over to the cops, though.
06:23Oh, you know me, pretty fickle.
06:29Anyway, I'd better get back to the books.
06:31Yeah.
06:34Hey.
06:35Hey.
06:36It was nice of Mr. Stewart to let us put up the posters, but he'll give us another edge
06:40over the candidates.
06:41Yeah, Mel, do you think we're going a bit overboard?
06:44I don't know, I think people might be getting sick to see my face everywhere.
06:46No, they won't.
06:47Everyone likes you.
06:49Yeah, Mel, the thing is...
06:51Hey, mate.
06:52Good luck in the election.
06:53I reckon you and Nicole?
06:54Got it in the bag.
06:56Oh, wait, Nicole, what do you mean?
06:57Is she running?
06:58Yeah, and I don't care what she stands for.
07:00She's hot.
07:01She's got my vote.
07:04Why are you so surprised?
07:06Oh, come off it, Nicole.
07:08This is me you're talking to here.
07:09Why are you so interested in this?
07:11Geez, Dad, a little bit of support would be nice on this one.
07:14Of course I support you, but...
07:16Come on, you haven't even been interested in being school captain until now.
07:20It just took me a while to find the courage to say that I wanted to do it.
07:23But anyway, it'll be fun.
07:25It'll be like organising school socials and non-uniform days and making new friends.
07:29I'm sure there's a bit more to it than that.
07:31So that's all this is about.
07:33Making new friends.
07:34Nothing else.
07:36No.
07:37What else would there be?
07:39Well, you haven't exactly been yourself lately.
07:42And you left the place in an absolute state this morning.
07:45And Aidan told me you had a pretty rough study session with Geoff.
07:48This has nothing to do with Geoff, and I didn't even know why you would bring that up.
07:53Just support me on this, okay?
07:56It's not too much to ask from my own father, is it?
08:00No.
08:01Of course I support you.
08:04All right, everyone going on the science excursion in here, please.
08:07Come on, people, let's get a move on.
08:09This is so lame.
08:11At least we get to go outside.
08:13Penny, would you please hand out these activity sheets while we wait for the stragglers?
08:17Sure.
08:18Guys, you cannot forget to vote in the school elections, all right?
08:21When you come back from your excursion, voting ends this afternoon, all right?
08:25Get it?
08:25Got it?
08:26Good.
08:27How'd you end up out at the ball?
08:28Good, thanks.
08:29Great night.
08:29Apparently we've made quite a bit of money for the emergency services.
08:31That's great.
08:32It's about time.
08:33Look, sorry.
08:34I've got to get this mob on the go.
08:36Okay, year nine.
08:37Let's move it out, please.
08:39Can we do it quietly?
08:44Vote for me.
08:45More fun excursions, more non-uniform days.
08:48Save the meat pairs from the vegans.
08:50Do you want a muffin?
08:51Nicole, lunch ended five minutes ago.
08:53You should be in class.
08:54No, I know, sir, but I have to make every minute count.
08:56Not when those minutes are in class time, Nicole.
09:03Hey.
09:04Hey, I hope you're going to vote for me.
09:05Look, I know the muffins look like a little bit of a bribe,
09:08but I've only got, like, two seconds to make an impression.
09:10Nicole, why are you doing this?
09:11I want to represent the school, silly.
09:13And I think that we'd make an awesome team, you know, as co-captains.
09:17Hey, check out my killer policies.
09:19Look, I know that there's more to it than that,
09:21but I figured that you could cover all the serious stuff
09:23and I could do all the fun stuff
09:25and we could rock student council together.
09:27And besides, I can save you from being smothered by Melody.
09:32Tell me, this isn't why you're running for captain.
09:36No, but I'm happy to help you out.
09:39You are unbelievable, you know that?
09:40I mean, what about everyone else that wants to run to make a difference?
09:43You're just making your mockery at them with your stupid little policies
09:46and as for Melody, I already told you, I'm handling it.
09:48You obviously don't have the guts to tell her how you really feel.
09:52I mean, unless you actually still like her.
09:57Oh, my God, you do, don't you?
10:00Nicole Franklin, get to class now unless you'd like a lengthy detention.
10:04You too, Campbell.
10:14You all know who you teamed up with, yeah?
10:17Okay, now remember to be as accurate as possible.
10:21Collect the plants in the manner that you've been taught
10:23so that you don't damage them.
10:24Don't touch any of the trees.
10:26Each team is to sample three different sorts of plants.
10:29I want you to spread out as far as you can
10:31so that we get as much variety as possible, okay?
10:34Away you go then.
10:43Where are we going?
10:44Spreading out, like Mr. Butler said.
10:53This looks like a good spot.
10:58Ty, we've got work to do.
10:59We are working.
11:00This is biology in action.
11:08What are you two doing up here?
11:10Oh, I'm just looking for a variety, sir.
11:13Oh, how about that fern over there?
11:16Excellent choice, Jo.
11:17I won't make a scientist of you yet.
11:25Jo, we've almost got caught.
11:26Almost is okay.
11:30No, Jo, Jo, what's up with you lately?
11:32Why are you so full on?
11:33I don't know.
11:34You're so gorgeous.
11:35Come and help me.
11:36Well, help it.
11:37I've got work to do.
11:45Thanks for inviting me to dinner.
11:46Annie, you are in for a taste sensation.
11:48You will not taste sausages like these anywhere.
11:50Yeah, you've never tasted charcoal like...
11:52Come in!
11:53Jo, thank you.
11:53None of that on the table.
11:54I'm sure they'll be delicious.
11:56Hey, do you want two?
11:57Oh, I'll get one first.
12:00All right, Melody.
12:02Summer Bay Caravan Park.
12:04Yeah, I'll just get her.
12:06Kirsty, it's for you.
12:09Hello?
12:11Oh, hi.
12:12Yeah, no, look, hang on a second.
12:13Miles, oh.
12:16Look, I can't work tonight.
12:18In fact, I don't want to do that work anymore.
12:21I'm serious.
12:24Because I just can't.
12:27No, and you know what?
12:28Don't call me at home anymore.
12:33Everything okay?
12:34Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
12:36It was just true.
12:36She was bugging me to do a shift, but...
12:38No, I said no.
12:39Good.
12:44I'm taking some broth over to Martha.
12:46She's not feeling the best tonight.
12:48I won't be long.
12:48Oh, give her a kiss from me.
12:50Yeah, I will.
12:50I hope she can manage this.
12:52It's the only thing I could stomach when I was having chemo.
12:55I'm sure I'll do it the well.
12:57Jeff totally hesitated when I asked him if he liked Melody.
13:00I mean, what if they're getting back together?
13:03And you care because...
13:04Well, because they're not right for each other.
13:06They're absolutely and totally wrong.
13:09Okay, so who do you think would be Jeff's perfect match then?
13:12Just not her.
13:15You're so hot for him.
13:16Again.
13:17No, I'm not.
13:18All right, yep.
13:19So this whole school captain thing, that's not just a ploy to get close to him?
13:23No.
13:24No.
13:25As if.
13:26All right, you're deleted.
13:29Fine, okay?
13:30I like Jeff again.
13:31He's happy.
13:33Just when Melody said that she wanted to get back together with him, it just didn't feel
13:39right because in the back of my mind, I always thought that Jeff and I would end up together
13:43again eventually and the time was right.
13:47So what do you have to do?
13:48I have no idea.
13:56Hello, friend of Christ is here.
14:00Okay, look, why don't you drop the whole school captain thing and just tell him that you like
14:05him and that you want to make a go of it?
14:07Yeah, because that is just so easy.
14:09Good.
14:10Done.
14:17Why am I even taking advice from you anyway?
14:19Look at you.
14:20You're so screwed up about you-know-who.
14:22What are you even doing here?
14:24I thought you were trying to avoid this place.
14:27It's stunning.
14:28I need the cafe.
14:30Have you finished?
14:32Yeah, thank you.
14:37And you think I'm hopeless?
14:40And you think I'm hopeless?
15:23Yeah, can I?
15:24Yeah, yeah.
15:25It's still early.
15:26Go back to sleep.
15:27Okay.
15:29Okay.
15:41All right, you lot.
15:42A little decorum, please.
15:43I don't know what's keeping Mr. Copeland with the results, but I'm sure he'll be here soon.
15:46Okay, sorry.
15:47Don't panic.
15:48All right, guys.
15:49The votes for school captain were neck and neck.
15:52Yes, yes.
15:53Yeah, I even had to do a recount, Mr. Bartlett.
15:55Now, before I ask Mr. Copeland to give you the results, I'd like to commend you all for
15:59standing.
16:00I was heartened to see how many of you put your hands up to serve your fellow students,
16:04so thank you.
16:05Mr. Copeland.
16:06All right, guys, I would like to, first of all, welcome the newcomers to the school council,
16:12Vanessa Morgan, Luke Cement, and Melody Jones.
16:19All right, let's go.
16:20This is the moment we've all been waiting for.
16:22Successful candidate for boys' school captain.
16:25Drum roll, please, Tobias.
16:29Jeff Campbell.
16:34All righty.
16:36Now, finally, and this was very close, Mr. Bartlett, the girls' school captain, Nicole Franklin.
16:45Come on, come on, come on.
16:47Come on, come on, come on.
17:00OK, sweetheart, just one second.
17:03Mommy just has to check her banking, OK?
17:06Yes.
17:07I'm hungry.
17:09OK, want some juice?
17:10There you go.
17:10Oh, sorry, sweetheart, my fault.
17:12I'll just get a cloth, OK?
17:14Hey, Kirsty, guess who got elected to school council?
17:18Oh, Melody, congratulations.
17:20Well done.
17:21Yeah, thank you.
17:22Of course, Jeff got school captain, but you'll never guess who got the girls' school captain.
17:28Nicole.
17:29Nicole?
17:30Are you serious?
17:30Freaky out.
17:31Yeah, talk about a dark horse.
17:33Mommy, I'm hungry.
17:34OK, one second.
17:35Well, in that case, I think we have to cook something special for dinner.
17:39Got to celebrate.
17:40Cool.
17:40Yeah, thank you.
17:42Shall we?
17:43Yes.
17:46You're kidding me.
17:47Yep.
17:48Oh, cool, thanks.
17:49Yep.
17:49What the hell do you know about being school captain?
17:52Violet gave me a whole lot of rubbish to read.
17:55I'm sure nobody reads it anyway.
17:56It's all about school spirit and leadership camps.
18:00Hey, well, you know, it can't be too bad.
18:02At least you get time off school.
18:04And hey, you get to spend more time with Bible Boy, get nice and cosy.
18:09Hmm.
18:10Maybe something happened.
18:11Yeah, well, Geoff's not talking to me and Melody got elected too, so now the whole thing's officially a disaster.
18:17Oh.
18:18My heart bleeds.
18:20Yeah.
18:21Yeah.
18:25Miles won't think badly of you.
18:27Now, if Mr Bartlett had seen you, that would be embarrassing.
18:29Well, he nearly did when we were on the science excursion.
18:31If he'd come down the path any earlier, I can't even think about it.
18:34I'm so mad with Jai.
18:36What, you're saying you're not enjoying Jai being so friendly?
18:39Oh, yeah, I am.
18:40But I'd probably prefer it if it wasn't so public and so often.
18:44I don't know what's got into him lately.
18:46Trust me, for a boy his age, it's all perfectly normal.
18:49But, Annie, if it ever makes you feel uncomfortable, you should say something.
18:52You know, it's always good to set boundaries.
18:54Yeah, I will.
18:54Thanks.
18:56How is the science project coming along?
18:58It's actually really interesting.
19:00Like, did you know that some ferns have arsenic in them?
19:02Oh, it's fascinating.
19:04Yeah, it comes out of the rocks or something, and then that's how it gets into the soil, and then
19:08the ferns suck it up.
19:09I don't think it'd just kill them.
19:10I know.
19:11Mr Bartlett said that the one we found had quite high levels of arsenic in them.
19:15It's pretty amazing stuff, hey?
19:17What, they were high?
19:19Yeah, he said that's just what happens sometimes.
19:22Annie, where did you say you found the fern?
19:24So what if they found it close to the development site?
19:27Because what if the high levels of arsenic isn't a natural thing?
19:30You know, what if it's linked to whatever was dumped at the development site?
19:33What happened to dropping the whole anti-development stuff?
19:36I mean, weren't you going to pass it on to the police?
19:40Why are you hassling me about it?
19:43Aidan, if chemicals are leaking out of the soil, imagine how bad this could be.
19:47What if it's just like you said, it could just be a natural thing?
19:50Or it could be pesticides, it could be a million reasons.
19:53Yeah, okay, maybe you're right, but what if I am?
19:58What?
20:01Arsenic's carcinogenic.
20:02It causes cancer.
