00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want you to stay forever
00:08Nicer each day, home and away
00:26Gran.
00:27The way she used to treat me.
00:29I can see now it's the same as the way I ended up treating you.
00:35She doesn't want me back in the house.
00:37Where are you going to live?
00:38I've decided to stay right here in Summer Bay and move in with you.
00:49Here, I can do this.
00:50You're going to be with your customers.
00:52No, no, no, thanks Theo, but Leah's out the front, so she's got it under control.
00:56Well, in that case, I'll prepare the salads for tonight.
00:58No, they're done, mate.
01:00But then what do you want me to do?
01:02I think we're pretty ripe for today.
01:04You could probably go home if you like.
01:06I know, the vegetables for dinner.
01:08The delivery just arrived.
01:09I can get them ready.
01:17How long did you say your dad's sticking around for?
01:19I am so sorry.
01:21He was meant to stay at home today, but he's just so keen to help.
01:23Yeah, I know.
01:24It's really nice.
01:25It's just not...
01:26He's driving his birth band.
01:29Um, look, what about if I take a break and drop him home?
01:32Yeah, okay.
01:33Well, look, I don't mean to seem rude or unappreciative.
01:36No, no, you're fine.
01:36He's getting to both of us.
01:39Ah, Baba, you ready to go home?
01:41Come on, you've been here for hours.
01:42Oh, don't be silly.
01:44Ramon needs help.
01:45No, no, no, he's actually fine.
01:46Let's go.
01:47Put your feet up.
01:48What?
01:49Come on.
01:50Are you sure it'll be okay on your own?
01:52Yes, totally, totally.
01:53Look, and thanks for today, Theo.
01:54It's been great.
01:55Yeah, it's been a great help.
01:56Bye.
01:57Come on, Baba.
02:03I've never been to a movie marathon.
02:05We should go.
02:06I've only been to one.
02:07It was an all-nighter and I slept through the last two films.
02:10How about you?
02:13Sorry?
02:15What were you talking about?
02:17I'm thinking about your mum still.
02:20Yeah, her and Gran go back to New Zealand tomorrow.
02:22Are you going to miss her?
02:23It's my grandma I'm thinking about.
02:25I feel like I don't know her and I'm never going to get the chance.
02:29So go over and hang out with her before she leaves?
02:32I'd love to, but mum isn't keen on the idea.
02:35Yeah, she's never really liked me being around Gran.
02:39Says she isn't a nice lady.
02:41That's why we never went to visit her much.
02:44Shouldn't you get to make up your own mind about that?
02:46Yeah, you know where she's staying.
02:47Just drop around and say hi.
02:49Or you could invite her over here.
02:51Yeah, great idea.
02:52She should come for dinner.
02:53I'm sure Mr. Stewart and Miles won't mind.
02:58Hey.
02:58Hey.
03:00Anyone popping to see me while I was gone?
03:02No.
03:03No.
03:04No.
03:09Now you listen to me.
03:10You put a Stacomica or another on the menu, you'll make a fortune.
03:14What makes you think we're going to afford to start putting fresh lobster on the menu?
03:17I can get them for you cheap from Cousin Costa.
03:20Cousin Costa?
03:21Is he being investigator for tax fraud?
03:23He is, but he has nice lobsters.
03:25Lee to buy no supplies our seafood.
03:27If we wanted lobsters, we can get them off him, but we don't want them.
03:30Well, at least talk to Roman and Irene about it.
03:32I mean, your menu really needs updating.
03:34Baba, we don't have time to scratch ourselves at the moment, let alone start redoing the menu.
03:39Look, if you're busy, I can help more.
03:40No, no.
03:42Baba, thank you for the offer.
03:43Really, it's very sweet of you that you care this much about the business, but it's important for us to
03:47do things on our own.
03:48You know what it's like.
03:49Yes, I used to now.
03:51Yes.
03:52Come here, I'm sorry.
03:55Do you mind looking after Vijay tonight?
03:57Of course, I love spending time with Vijay.
03:59Thank you, because I've just got a lot of things to organise for Dan's Memorial tomorrow.
04:03You're very excited about that, aren't you?
04:05Yeah, I am.
04:06Look, I'm very pleased for you.
04:09I'll go and get changed.
04:10Okay.
04:23Mum, it's me.
04:24You know, I'm fine, but Mum, you need to let Baba come home.
04:28Okay, well, you know I love him, but he is driving me insane.
04:31Yeah, and Roman, and Irene too.
04:34Because he's your husband, Mum.
04:35No, no, Mum, you listen to...
04:37Mum, no, I need to speak to you now, not late...
04:39Leah, where are my clean socks?
04:42I don't know.
04:43Try the sock drool.
04:49G'day, all.
04:50Hey.
04:51Hi.
04:52Can I ask you both a question?
04:54Yeah, I should.
04:55I was wondering if my grandma could come over to dinner tonight.
04:59She's going back to New Zealand tomorrow, and I'd really like to spend some time with her.
05:03Well, that's your call, Chef.
05:04More the merrier, as far as I'm concerned.
05:06I caught enough fish this avo to feed a small army.
05:08Great, thank you very much.
05:10I'll give her a call.
05:15You okay?
05:17Yeah.
05:18Yeah, I'm good.
05:19Except you haven't been yourself ever since you got home.
05:26I saw Kirstie this afternoon.
05:29Are you serious?
05:30Why is she here?
05:32Has she left Kane and come back for you?
05:34No, I don't think that's it.
05:36Actually, I don't know why she's here.
05:38What, you didn't ask?
05:40No, we didn't actually talk.
05:41I just guess she's here to see Irene.
05:44I can't think of any other reason she didn't get in touch with me.
05:47Well, maybe she's too embarrassed about walking out on you the way she did.
05:51Or she's waiting for you to make the first move.
05:53You know, in case you mattered or whatever.
05:56Look, what are you still doing here?
05:58Just go and talk to her.
05:59Joy, it's not that simple.
06:01Yes, it is.
06:02No, it's not.
06:02Well, yes, it is.
06:03No, it's not.
06:03At least then you'll know.
06:05And it has to be better than you moping around the house like you've been doing ever since she left.
06:12Coming!
06:17Hey, doll.
06:19What can I do for you?
06:20I was wondering whether you could tell me where Kirstie is.
06:23Um, last time I heard she was somewhere up in the...
06:27Yeah, Irene, I saw you with her earlier.
06:30Oh, love.
06:32I'm sorry.
06:33I'm sorry I lied, but she didn't want anyone to know that she was here in the bay.
06:38I see.
06:40Well, I just thought it would be good for me and Kirstie to have a chat, you know, clear the
06:43air.
06:44Oh, love, believe me.
06:45If it was up to me, that's exactly what I think you both need to do.
06:49Well, it's not your call.
06:51I understand.
06:53The thing is, love, there's some stuff going on with Kirstie at the moment that I can't tell you about,
06:59but basically it means that she doesn't want to see you or talk to you either at the moment.
07:06Well, thanks for telling me that much.
07:08I know you're in a tough position.
07:10Love, I'm sorry again for lying.
07:11I hate being a meat and a sandwich like this.
07:14I'll solve you a problem.
07:17Okay, thanks, Irene.
07:19I'll let you get back to it.
07:42That was Miles.
07:43He's been held up, but he wants us to start without him.
07:46Did he say why he'd be late?
07:48No, but he did say he's coming home past the diner and he's going to bring home some pudding.
07:54Grandma.
07:56Hello, Melody.
07:58Hey, Mum.
07:58Hi, darling.
08:01Grandma, this is Mr Stewart and these are my two best friends, Annie and Jai.
08:05Hello.
08:05Hey.
08:06Hey, allow me.
08:07Thank you all for inviting me to dinner.
08:09Ah, you're very welcome.
08:12There's plenty of fish to go around if you'd like to stay.
08:16Oh, thanks, Alf, but now I'm meeting a friend.
08:18Fair enough.
08:22Now, what can we get you to drink?
08:24Oh, a glass of water would be lovely, thank you.
08:26Good, you won't do too much damage on that.
08:30Thanks for dropping her over.
08:32I'll give you a call when we're finished.
08:34Okay.
08:35Mel, I'm just a little curious.
08:37Why this sudden interest in seeing your gran again?
08:40It's not sudden, Mum.
08:42I've always wanted to get to know her.
08:43It's just that she lives so far away and you never really like the idea.
08:48Well, with good reason, darling.
08:50Yeah, because you were worried you were going to lose some kind of control over me.
08:53No, actually, I was trying to protect you from her.
08:57Look, Mel, all you see is a sweet old woman.
09:00But like I've said, there's a side to her you haven't seen and frankly, I hope you never do.
09:04Mum, please don't bring her down.
09:05I'm not.
09:06I'm just trying to tell you what she's really like.
09:08Well, I don't want to hear it.
09:10I just want to get to know my grandma.
09:12Is that that bad?
09:12No, okay.
09:14Well, look, you have a wonderful evening.
09:16Call me when you're ready.
09:26Next, we grate the cheese like this, see, with the palm of our hands, so we don't slice
09:31our fingers up.
09:32Ouch!
09:33Exactly.
09:34Now, you ask your Uncle Christos.
09:36He didn't listen to me and one day, whip!
09:38All his fingers got chopped off.
09:40No, they didn't.
09:41You're being silly.
09:43What?
09:44You think your papo's making things up?
09:46Ah, tell me, you mister!
09:48Stop it, stop it, stop it!
09:49Now you're getting on my nerves!
09:51What?
09:51What do you mean I'm getting on your nerves?
09:53Just like you're getting on Mum's nerves.
09:56Did Mum say that about me?
09:58I heard her telling Auntie Irene.
10:05I'm not surprised you've had some trying times with your mother.
10:10We'd grown so far apart until it got to the point where I didn't think we'd ever sort things
10:14out.
10:16Well, Christine's very good at alienating people.
10:21But things between us seem a bit better now, which is good.
10:23Not good enough for you to be coming to New Zealand with us.
10:27No.
10:28No, I, um...
10:31I'm still scared that things will go back to how they used to be.
10:35I don't have to worry about that here with Miles.
10:38He's lovely.
10:39You'll really love him.
10:41I'm sure I will.
10:44And I can more than understand how you need some space for my mother.
10:49She's a difficult and self-centred woman.
10:51She's a lot better than she used to be.
10:54Oh.
10:55She's really made an effort to change, I think.
10:59Dinner will be ready soon.
11:00Is there anything else I can get you?
11:01Oh, not for me, thank you.
11:03Everything's wonderful.
11:04Thanks.
11:06And it really is nice that you're so happy here, Melody.
11:10And everyone seems lovely.
11:12They are.
11:13I have a lot to thank them for.
11:39Hey.
11:41It's quite a surprise.
11:43What are you doing back here?
11:46I just came to do some stuff.
11:49How's Ollie?
11:51Yeah, Ollie's good.
11:53Good.
11:57You look really well.
12:03How are the kids?
12:05They're doing well.
12:06Yeah, Jai settled down.
12:08Melody lost the plot for a bit.
12:10She ran away to Melbourne.
12:12Has she come back?
12:13Yeah.
12:14We tracked her down a couple of days later.
12:16She's fine.
12:18She's having dinner with her grandmother tonight.
12:21I've got dessert.
12:22And so I shouldn't.
12:24Yeah, go.
12:34Miles.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:42So am I.
13:01Oh, what on earth is going on here?
13:02I just couldn't clean the diner kitchen.
13:04Now come home to this.
13:05Yeah, well, don't worry.
13:06I'm cleaning it up.
13:09Well, when are you going to start sorting things out with Mum?
13:13I mean, we love having you here, but you can't stay in the bay forever.
13:16You need to start sorting out your problems.
13:18Look, I'm sorry.
13:19I know I've been getting on your nerves.
13:20No, it's not about that, but, but I'm worried about you and Mum.
13:24It's not healthy for you to carry on like this.
13:26You need to talk.
13:28Your mum kicked me out.
13:30I'm doing what she wants.
13:31So you're just giving up?
13:33Well, what else do you suggest?
13:35She doesn't seem to think there's anything to sort out.
13:37She won't listen to me.
13:38Make her.
13:40Well, Leah, you know your mother.
13:43If she doesn't want to do something, there's nothing that will make her change her mind.
13:48Well, Bob, tomorrow I commemorate the first anniversary of Dan's death.
13:53We only had a few years together.
13:55You and Mum have had 35.
13:57Are you really willing to throw that away?
14:00Please, come on, you need to put things right, whatever it takes.
14:03Don't take no for an answer.
14:10The fish is very nice, thank you, Alf.
14:12Any pressure, it'll be jumping off the plate.
14:14Hey, everyone relax, dessert is here.
14:17Audrey, this is Miles.
14:19Miles, this is my grandmother.
14:20Lovely to meet you, Audrey.
14:21Sorry I'm so glad I got held up.
14:23I need to apologise.
14:24Everyone's made me most welcome.
14:26Well, I'd be shocked if they hadn't.
14:27This looks delicious.
14:28Yours in the oven, mate.
14:29And are all you youngsters in the same class at school?
14:33Yeah.
14:33Oh, well, we were.
14:35Melody is in between schools at the moment.
14:39I, um, I went through a difficult time.
14:43I was actually expelled from Summer Bay High.
14:47Expelled?
14:48Yes, things that happened in the moment.
14:50How dare you bring such disgrace upon our family?
14:55You're just like your wicked mother.
14:57She's an evil piece of work, too.
14:59Steady on, then.
15:01Oh, no.
15:02Oh, clumsy in body, clumsy in mind.
15:06The devil's got a hold of you, girl.
15:08Okay, Audrey, thanks for that.
15:12Uh...
15:19Are you all right, love?
15:24I don't think your grandmother's feeling too well.
15:27Maybe you should bring your mother to come and pick her up.
15:42So he already knew I was in the bay?
15:44They saw us in the car together.
15:47Love, I'm sorry.
15:48But once I knew that, what was the point of lying to him?
15:51I just wish I'd been up front from the start.
15:54No, no, no, that's...
15:54That's cool, but...
15:57Why wouldn't he say anything to me?
15:59Kirsty, for the life of me,
16:00I don't know why you just don't go and tell the guy how you feel about him.
16:04I nearly did, Irene.
16:06Okay, trust me, I actually came very close.
16:08Well, what stopped you?
16:10Because he doesn't feel the same way about me anymore.
16:12Oh, fair dinkum, you pair deserve each other.
16:16You're both as stubborn as mules.
16:17I could bang your flippin' heads together.
16:19Irene, we both heard what he said.
16:21I mean, he said that he wanted to shut the chapter on his life with me,
16:23so I'm not going to go on.
16:24Yeah, well, why did he turn up here again looking for you?
16:28Love, please, will you just go and talk to the bloke
16:31instead of trying to second-guess him?
16:33It's Cain.
16:35Cain?
16:37What?
16:39Just-just calm down and tell me where you are.
16:43All right, then.
16:44Well, I'll come and meet you.
16:45And, yeah, then everything can go back to normal.
16:49I'll be there as soon as I can.
16:52Kirsty, love, for God's sake,
16:54you can't go back to him, not after everything is done.
16:56Irene, I'm saying what he needs to hear
16:58so that I can get Ollie back.
16:59Then trust me, we're done.
17:01It's over.
17:09Say goodnight to my poor.
17:11Night, buppo.
17:13Sleep well, little man.
17:15Can you help me read my story?
17:16I have a new book for school.
17:18Of course I will.
17:19Let's go.
17:20Night.
17:22Sleep tight.
17:23Thanks, bulla.
17:23My pleasure.
17:24I hope it's not a gory one.
17:26I get scared of those.
17:44Mum, it's me again.
17:46Yeah, I know it's late, but we need to talk.
17:48No, and don't you dare hang up on me again.
17:51Okay, what if I told you
17:53that he's booked a flight to Cyprus?
17:55I can't deal with this right now.
17:56You know how important tomorrow is.
17:58Okay, well, you and Baba need to sort something out.
18:02I understand what you were trying to protect me from now.
18:05I wish you'd never found out, Mel.
18:07Your grandma's not a bad person.
18:10I'm sure she didn't mean the things she said to you,
18:12but she's just got a vicious streak
18:14and it's got worse as she's got older.
18:16It was like when she started, she couldn't stop.
18:21I know now what you were saying
18:22about history repeating itself.
18:25I'm so very sorry.
18:28I hope one day you'll be able to forgive me
18:31for all that, Mel.
18:35Look, I, uh,
18:37I'd better get her home.
18:41Come on, Mum.
18:42We'd better go.
18:44Thank you all for a wonderful evening.
18:49Thanks very much, everybody.
18:50Bye.
18:51Bye.
18:54Excuse me.
18:58Poor girl.
19:04So, did you see Kirstie?
19:06Yep.
19:07Guess what?
19:08She didn't come back for me, so.
19:12So you don't want to be with her anymore,
19:13is that what you say?
19:14Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
19:16I don't want to be with her.
19:18If anything, it just confirms
19:19that I made the right decision.
19:41What exactly were you telling me
19:43you're going to Cyprus?
19:44Sweetheart, look, it's best this way.
19:46Trust me.
19:47What?
19:47How is running away going to help?
19:48I'm not running away.
19:50What do you call it then, Baba?
19:52Look, please,
19:53I don't want to fight with you.
19:55I've booked a hotel close to the airport.
19:57I fly out tomorrow afternoon
19:58and I promise I'll call you
19:59the moment I land in Cyprus.
20:01Baba, you can't walk out like this.
20:06Hi, Dad.
20:07Where do you think you're going, Theo?
20:25Christine?
20:26Miles, sorry it's so late.
20:27That's all right.
20:28I need to speak to Mel.
20:29Is she awake?
20:30Yeah, come on.
20:32Mum, what is it?
20:34Just after we got back,
20:36Mum collapsed.
20:37What?
20:38She's had a stroke.
20:39She's in hospital.
20:40But she's going to feel all right, isn't she?
20:42Well, she's unconscious.
20:44Her doctors say the next 24 hours are critical.
20:46I'm on my way back there now,
20:48but I just wanted to let you know
20:50I didn't want to tell you something like this over the phone.
20:52Oh, God.
20:53Oh, Mel.
21:02Next time on Home and Away.
21:04What's the matter?
21:05Lucas called.
21:06I had to tell him to go, Jack.
21:07She's passed away.
21:10Sounding pretty confident.
21:11Just wait and see why.
21:12I guess I really like both ideas.
21:14Well, you can't sit on the fence, Nicole.
21:15You have to make your mind up.
21:16What if this is the big chance
21:17for you to patch things up with your mum?
21:19I realise now how badly I misjudged you.
21:21I'm really sorry for that.
21:22You don't like who I am or how I act
21:25and you've been trying to change me.
21:26It would help me to understand what you're feeling.
21:29Well, you want to know how I feel?
21:30I feel dead, Rachel.
