00:00Previously on Home and Away.
00:02Yep, come on through.
00:04I'm just gonna go check on Melody.
00:08Kirstie doesn't need other people to point out what she did or didn't do.
00:11It's a lot more complicated than you realise.
00:13Is it?
00:16What are you doing?
00:17It was a bad idea.
00:19Leah, please, can you sit?
00:21I'm not good for you.
00:22I think it's better if you just stay away from each other for a while.
00:25I'm sorry.
00:26I think it's better this way.
00:37How was dinner with Leah?
00:39Fine.
00:41You're home pretty early, mate.
00:43Did you see Kirstie at the Sands?
00:45No.
00:47So do you think you and Leah will go out again?
00:50And have you finished your English assignment yet?
00:53No.
00:53We can get on to it, please.
00:55He's only just got back from Collins, haven't you, mate?
00:57He was entertaining Ollie.
00:59That's very good of you, Joe, but it's due on Friday.
01:01I hope there are no exceptions.
01:02Yeah, okay.
01:13Alf, please.
01:17So did Martha call you this morning?
01:19No, what happened?
01:21Oh, poor thing's all worked up about a cell count.
01:23I told her she's got nothing to worry about, but if she's really concerned, that she should
01:27just call you.
01:28Well, all her results have been spot on so far.
01:31All going according to plan.
01:32She'll be ready for a final round of chemo tomorrow.
01:34Yeah, and just think in two days she'll be home scot-free.
01:37Well, actually, in two days she'll be having a pretty tough time for it.
01:41Oh, yeah, of course.
01:44How could I forget?
01:45Last round's always the worst.
01:46I must have blanked it.
01:48Oh, sorry.
01:51I hope you haven't been waiting long.
01:53It's been one of those mornings.
01:55I had to drop Ollie off for Kirsty.
01:57Poor girl's run off her feet.
01:59Working nights is always tough on a young mother.
02:02Just coffee, please, Colleen.
02:03Hot and strong.
02:04Oh, burning the candle at both ends, are we?
02:07Excuse me.
02:08Nothing's exciting, I'm afraid.
02:09Just having to work a bit of overtime.
02:11Problems with the admin staff.
02:14Oh, I just heard there's a problem with the staff at the school.
02:19More stress for poor Miles, I suppose.
02:21I have no idea.
02:22How was he last night?
02:24Yeah, he seemed fine.
02:25Oh, poor lamb's been so miserable lately.
02:29Such a shame about him and Kirsty.
02:31Still, it's lovely he's got a good friend like you to tell his troubles to.
02:36Any chance they might get back together again, do you think?
02:38Table five, Colleen.
02:46Where's the go, bud?
02:47Are John and Melody ready?
02:49Yeah, Melody's gone, Annie.
02:50John's...
02:51Yeah, let's go.
02:53Oh, John.
03:01Well, I guess I deserved that after last night.
03:03Well, you'll get no argument from me on that score.
03:08Mate, I know, uh, breaking up with Kirsty isn't easy.
03:13I'm doing the best I can.
03:15I just thought a night out with Leah might do you good, but it seems to have made you worse.
03:20Do you want to talk about Kirsty?
03:23Alf, I wouldn't know where to start.
03:25But at least talk to Jai, mate.
03:27A week or so ago, he thought you and Kirsty were family.
03:30Now everything's up in the air.
03:32He's struggling a bit with that.
03:35You're all Jai's got.
03:38At least let him know he still has that.
03:43Yeah, I'll go and talk to him at lunch today, I promise.
03:46Good.
03:48And, um, while I'm on a roll, I don't expect you to be a barrel of laughs, but do you
03:54reckon
03:54you could manage a smile just every now and again?
03:57You used to be good to be around.
04:05Just think, after today, no more chemo.
04:07Maybe.
04:08My white cell count might be down, so we might have to postpone it.
04:11Well, I guess that is possible, but look, even if you have to put it off for a few days,
04:15it'll be over really soon.
04:18Well, well, it's all good.
04:19You're right to go.
04:20Are you sure?
04:21Yeah, your white cell count is within normal range.
04:23See?
04:23What did I tell you?
04:24I'm just going to go to the loop.
04:26No, I have to keep moving, but enjoy shopping today, and I'll see you tomorrow.
04:29Thanks.
04:37Thank God, it's the last one.
04:39No one forced you to do overtime.
04:42What?
04:42You're the one who keeps whinging.
04:44It's been a long shift, Trisha, right?
04:45I won't be here if you need the money.
04:47So, reconsider the hostessing work.
04:49We had one bad ride.
04:50Trisha, it's not an option, okay?
04:55Housekeeping.
05:10Oh, sir, sorry.
05:12I thought you were out.
05:13It's okay.
05:13Keep doing what you're doing.
05:16You're Kirstie.
05:17My sales team told me about you.
05:20Oh, I'm just in housekeeping, that's all.
05:23Oh, I don't think so.
05:24I've seen a photo of you with my senior rep at dinner.
05:28How are you fixed for the night?
05:29You free for a date?
05:31I don't do dates anymore.
05:33Just the housekeeping, that's all.
05:35Oh, really?
05:35I'm disappointed to hear that.
05:38Sales guys will be too.
05:40Sure I can't tempt you.
05:53I cannot do this anymore.
05:55What are you talking about?
05:57I'm sorry, but I quit.
06:04Kirstie, hi.
06:05Hi.
06:06You okay?
06:07Yeah, yeah, fine.
06:09Thanks.
06:09Come on, it's obvious something's happened.
06:10Talk to me.
06:12I just quit my job at the Sands.
06:14Why?
06:15Because this guy, who I'd never met before in my life, tried to buy my services.
06:20I just felt like dirty.
06:22I felt like a piece of meat.
06:23So I had to quit.
06:26I'm really sorry, but for what it's worth, I think you've done the right thing.
06:30How have I done the right thing, Martin?
06:32How am I supposed to support myself?
06:33I'm going to support Ollie.
06:35What about Kane's appeal?
06:37Anyway, I suppose I've just got myself to blame, right?
06:54Have you got your lunch?
06:55It doesn't matter.
06:56I'm nearly finished anyway.
07:04I'm sorry about last night, Jai.
07:07I haven't really been myself these last couple of days.
07:10I don't know.
07:40You know, I've been angry.
07:40Do you think Kirstie and Ollie can come back to the house to live?
07:45I don't know.
07:47Do you want her to?
07:49I don't know, Jai.
07:50It's complicated.
07:51Because you like Leah.
07:54Leah's my friend.
07:55But you went out with her last night.
07:57Yeah, Jai.
07:58As a friend.
08:00Leah had nothing to do with Kirstie and I breaking up.
08:03If that's where you're going with this.
08:05Then if you did something wrong, just say her sorry.
08:08If Kirstie did something wrong, then just forgive her.
08:11Because I know you guys can work it out.
08:13Well, if that's true, mate, then it will happen.
08:17But in the meantime, whatever happens, I promise to keep you guys in the loop.
08:24Alright?
08:24I'm not going to mope around keeping it to myself.
08:29Alright, let's have some lunch or we'll be late for school.
08:34Miles could barely look at me when he was in here earlier.
08:37Honestly, Rach, I don't even know what I was thinking.
08:39I was a lunatic.
08:41I don't even know what I was saying.
08:42I just, I pushed him away because it hurt too much to hear him defending Kirstie
08:46after everything that she's done.
08:49I've lost a friend over this.
08:50All because I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
08:52I know it must be frustrating.
08:54But you and Miles have been really close.
08:56You're going to patch this up.
08:58I don't know.
09:00If he got back with Kirstie, I don't think I could handle it.
09:03How can he not see how wrong she is for him?
09:06Well, who do you think is right for him, then?
09:08You?
09:10You said a couple of months ago that you had feelings for him.
09:13Have they come back?
09:14Is that where all this anger's coming from?
09:18Well, I don't know.
09:20I honestly don't know.
09:26Hi.
09:28Hey.
09:29Oh, wow.
09:30Is that coffee a smell?
09:31Yes, it is.
09:32Freshly brewed.
09:33Oh, fantastic.
09:34We are totally shocked out.
09:36Martha?
09:37No, thanks.
09:38I'm so proud of you.
09:41You've toughed it out for so long and that's nothing other.
09:44Wait until you see what we picked up in Yabby Creek.
09:48Snazzy pyjamas.
09:49Pretty good, huh?
09:50This is to celebrate the end of chemo.
09:51Jack doesn't want to see all that stuff.
09:56You all right?
09:58Yeah, I just got a headache.
10:00I think I should check my temperature.
10:01Well, one thing you don't need is a last minute infection.
10:04I haven't been feeling good for a couple of hours.
10:06Maybe we should put off the chemo.
10:08Oh, no way, Martha.
10:09You feel fine to me.
10:09I know my own body, Bridget.
10:12Sorry.
10:13I just...
10:14I need some time on my own.
10:16Oh, sure.
10:17Yeah, look, we probably overdid it at the shops.
10:19I'll, um...
10:20I'll get out of your way.
10:22Thanks for today.
10:23Yeah, no worries.
10:24Um, do you still want to lift in the morning?
10:26Um, actually, I think Jack's taking me now.
10:29So you don't need to worry.
10:31I thought you couldn't get the time of work.
10:32Oh, Fitzy came good in the end, so...
10:34I managed to get it.
10:36Great.
10:36Yeah, nice.
10:38Okay, well.
10:39Um, good luck.
10:41Okay, let me know how it goes.
10:44See ya.
10:45Yeah, bye.
10:49Thanks for covering.
10:51No worries.
10:53Now I've just got a big Fitzy to give me the time off.
10:56What's going on?
10:58It's just...
10:59Bridget was a bit over the top today.
11:02I mean, she used to get it, the whole chemo thing.
11:06But now it's as if she's got no idea.
11:09It's so frustrating.
11:11Sometimes I'd rather not have her around.
11:13Well, now you're fortunate enough to have your gorgeous husband by side instead.
11:24Hi.
11:25Hi.
11:26Good seat.
11:26Good seat.
11:27Good seat.
11:31Thanks for coming.
11:32No problem.
11:34What's so important, though?
11:36Well, the reason that I asked to meet you in person is because I'd like to offer you your
11:39old job back.
11:41Excuse me?
11:42The sad truth is that since you left, we've been through two temps, neither room's come
11:46up to scratch.
11:47Well, they can't be any worse than what I was.
11:49Well, granted, it took you a while to find your feet, but you improved every day and you
11:53were conscientious, despite anything I might have said to the contrary in the heat of the
11:58moment.
12:00All I need from you is a promise that from now on you'll behave in a respectable and
12:04responsible manner, a manner befitting somebody who works for the school.
12:07Martin, hang on a minute.
12:08Look, I know.
12:09Well, that sounds super critical, seeing as I've been less than Sandy myself, and I know
12:13you only took the hospitality job to help out Cain, but this is a chance to put all
12:18that behind us.
12:19We can start again with a fresh slate.
12:21So you're saying that if I do work for you, I can't work anywhere else?
12:25Yes.
12:26Because I want you to have a normal life, Kirsty, for your sake, as well as little Ollie's.
12:30Yeah, but what about Cain?
12:31I'm going to need a second job.
12:33Tell me.
12:34Did Cain ever approve of your previous second job?
12:37Of course you didn't.
12:39Of course I never told him about it.
12:40And I doubt he'd spend a cent of that money if he knew how you earned it, would he?
12:45Look, I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
12:47It's your life to do with as you choose, but trying to live beyond your means?
12:52Martin, I can't abandon Cain.
12:54And what about, I mean, I've got to meet his lawyer tomorrow morning.
12:57What am I going to tell her?
12:57I'm not asking you to abandon Cain.
12:59What I'm saying is, with a proper full-time job behind you, maybe you can apply for a loan.
13:04Help Cain that way, legitimately.
13:07It might take you a bit longer than you thought to raise the money, but it's got to be better
13:12than lying to Cain.
13:14And to yourself.
13:22It's still normal.
13:24Well, that's good, right?
13:25That means you don't have an infection.
13:32Hey, Rach, thanks for coming.
13:33No problem.
13:34Hey, Jack said you were feeling a bit off.
13:37Yeah, I was worried I'd have an infection.
13:39Okay, well, let's check you out.
13:41At a temperature's normal.
13:43You have any other specific symptoms?
13:46Well, I had a headache.
13:47And I felt sick, like I ate something bad.
13:50Anything else?
13:53Feeling a bit nervous about tomorrow?
13:55Yeah, a bit.
13:57You didn't see myself at the hospital?
13:59Yeah, but it's more than just nerves.
14:01Why, your blood pressure's fine.
14:07You've been under a lot of pressure.
14:09Maybe you feel so worried about tomorrow that you've worked yourself up to the point where you feel physically ill.
14:14You're showing classic symptoms of stress.
14:17Stress?
14:18Yeah.
14:19Why don't you try some meditation, some relaxation techniques to get you mentally prepared for tomorrow.
14:25And try to stay positive.
14:27Just think how you'll feel in a week or two.
14:28You'll be through all this and you'll be on the other side.
14:40Okay, all right.
14:43Does it need anything?
14:46Do you want the truth?
14:47It's not that bad, is it?
14:49It's very edible.
14:50It's good.
14:51I need it.
14:52But I'm not drunk.
14:55Looks like things back to normal with you two.
14:58I wouldn't call it normal, but we're talking, you know.
15:00I still don't know what's happening with Kirstie, though.
15:06What?
15:08He's a different kid tonight.
15:09He must have said something, right?
15:11Yeah, thanks for the heads up this morning.
15:14If you hadn't have stepped in, I still would have been feeling sorry for myself, so...
15:17Well, seeing the problem's easy, mate.
15:20Fixing it, that can be hard.
15:25I'm going to head out for a bit.
15:30Hey.
15:31Shh, shh, shh.
15:31Ollie's asleep.
15:32Come here.
15:34What's up?
15:36Um...
15:39I just want to say sorry for the way I've been acting.
15:43Um...
15:43I know I've dropped my bundle for a while, and I shouldn't have been ignoring you.
15:49It's not the way to deal with things between us.
15:52And any time you want to come up to the house, you're welcome.
15:56You know, I know, they miss you.
15:58Thanks.
15:59And, you know, any time you want to come and see Ollie, you're always welcome here.
16:02Thanks.
16:02I'm welcome.
16:05I saw you at Sands last night with Leo.
16:09You're going to start seeing her now?
16:10Sorry, don't answer that.
16:11You don't have to.
16:11What?
16:12No, it's all right.
16:13But no.
16:15No, I mean, things aren't really good between us anyway.
16:18I found out about her giving you a hard time.
16:20We had words.
16:21We kind of got out of hand and lost your worry.
16:23Miles, I think we're using love with you.
16:25What?
16:26Seriously, you must know that.
16:28Why else would she have spoken to me the way that you did?
16:30Why else would she be so protective of you?
16:32I don't know.
16:33I don't think so.
16:34Do you have feelings about it?
16:35No, of course not.
16:39Okay.
16:42I'm going to go.
16:43Okay.
16:44Good night.
16:44Good night.
16:55E.J. was in a foul mood.
16:57Oh, he's at that age, I'm afraid.
16:59Lance, he was the same.
17:00An angel one minute, the devil the next.
17:03So what is this time?
17:04Oh, his soccer coach has chicken pox, so he's out of action for a couple of weeks.
17:07Oh, boys do love their footy, don't they?
17:10Yeah.
17:10Oh, good morning, Miles.
17:14What can I get you?
17:16I didn't come for anything.
17:17I just wanted to speak to you.
17:22I've had time to think about our discussion.
17:28I've been leaning on you a lot lately, and that hasn't been fair on you.
17:32I just need to figure out my own issues.
17:37So you're right.
17:39I think we should have some space apart for a while.
17:44Sure.
17:45Yeah, that sounds sensible.
17:49Okay.
17:53So I'll see you later.
17:54See ya.
18:00Thanks for meeting me at such short notice.
18:02That's fine.
18:03Is there a problem with the appeal?
18:04No, no, not at all.
18:05I just need your approval to move forward with a few things.
18:08Firstly, we need to brief a senior counsel by the name of David Gardner.
18:12Now, the firm's used him numerous times.
18:14Sorry, Kay.
18:15I thought we'd already hired a barrister.
18:17Well, we have Kirstie, but he's only a junior counsel, and he can only get us so far.
18:21And as you know, your husband's case is no ordinary appeal.
18:25Now, David's not cheap, but we need his experience if we're going to have any real chance of success.
18:30We also need to hire a private investigator to look into the circumstances surrounding the original case.
18:36I'm sorry, Kay.
18:37I can't do this.
18:40I mean, I've tried.
18:41I've tried everything.
18:42I've worked two jobs at once, but all I've managed to do is just screw up my own life.
18:47What are you saying, then?
18:49I can't give you any more money for Kane's appeal.
18:52You know, maybe I can someday, somehow, but right now I just can't afford it.
18:58I'll be blunt, Kirstie.
19:01Without your financial support, I won't be able to continue to represent your husband, though.
19:05I get that.
19:07But I've got no other choice.
19:10Right now I just need to look after my son.
19:13And myself.
19:19Both agree that you, Melody, and Ollie should see more of each other.
19:23Okay, so you and Kirstie are going to have more of these chats?
19:27No, just slowly, slowly, all right?
19:28I just need some breathing space.
19:30Kirstie.
19:30Hi.
19:31I was just looking for you.
19:33Martin offered me my odd job back.
19:34Really?
19:35That's great.
19:37I'll see you guys later.
19:41When did all this happen?
19:43Well, he offered me the job yesterday.
19:44I didn't say anything when you came over, just because, you know, it didn't come up and you sort of
19:48rushed off anyway.
19:50Plus, I hadn't made my mind up then.
19:52But I have now.
19:54So many things have just become really clear to me.
19:56And I want you to know that I've made the decision not to support Kane's appeal anymore.
20:00I'm not even having contact with him.
20:01Not for a while, anyway.
20:03It just feels like that's the best thing for me and for Oliver.
20:08Well, if that's what you think you want to do, then that's great.
20:13And the job?
20:14I accepted.
20:16Wow.
20:18That's great.
20:22Congratulations.
20:25You're going to be fine.
20:27Just remember what Rachel said.
20:29Just concentrate on how you're going to feel a few weeks from now.
20:31Ready to go?
20:32Just about.
20:33The sooner it's over, the better, right?
20:35Okay.
20:37Here you go.
20:41Stop.
20:42I'm not ready for this.
20:43Hey, hey, hey.
20:43Mother, hey, hey, hey.
20:45It's all right, it's all right.
20:45Honey, come here.
20:46It's okay.
20:52Next time on Home and Away.
20:54Kimo, it's like my safety net.
20:56And if it's over, how am I supposed to find this by myself?
20:59I've heard that there's something going on at the site.
21:01I think they're planning on removing the waste.
21:02I can't just forget about it.
21:04I want you to stay away from Murray.
21:05What are you doing here?
21:06Surely you're expecting me.
21:08Come on, you've got a scam going on, haven't you?
21:10How much money are we talking about?
21:11$5,000.
21:12Al Stewart's obviously more stupid than he looks.
21:14Why can't we just come out and tell him the truth?
21:16What were you doing with him?
21:17This is why I didn't tell you.
21:18I knew you were going to completely flip out.
21:20You couldn't go straight if your life depended on it.
21:22And don't forget all the weekly updates on our website.
21:25There's Leah's blog, pics, and tons of hot videos.
21:28Just go to Yahoo7 and type in Home and Away.
21:30Yahoo!
21:31Start something wonderful.
