00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01What are you doing here?
00:02I need a driver.
00:04I won't do it.
00:05One last job for the family.
00:09Oh, I can't.
00:12This can't happen.
00:14I went on a date with Emmett.
00:17It makes me feel bad that I can't stop thinking about you.
00:21Oh.
00:28I'm waiting on an ECG for one and a pig flush for three, please.
00:31Got it.
00:32Hey, could you please ask Kate to swap my night shift next week?
00:35Absolutely not.
00:36Well, as my new stepmum, she should be trying to embrace.
00:39Ask her yourself.
00:41Where do you need me?
00:43Ah, Kate needs you.
00:45Open radius, I'll not fracture.
00:46Kate, Chris is your man.
00:49How's it been going?
00:51I think there's real potential for me in here.
00:53Oh, sorry.
00:54I meant going down here without Poppy.
00:57Yeah, no.
00:57So far, so good.
00:58Paul said he was going to hire someone new, so we'll see how that goes.
01:01Pauline, can you grab some six by eights and saline come with me, please?
01:06Kate.
01:08Hi.
01:09You okay?
01:10Yeah.
01:11I just think we need to tell Emmett about what happened.
01:14What?
01:15What do you mean, what?
01:16He deserves to know.
01:18I hear you.
01:20Absolutely.
01:21What?
01:22I just think we should hold off and do it properly.
01:25When?
01:26Never.
01:26Keep your voice down.
01:28God, you haven't changed, have you?
01:29Just looking for a 50-mile catheter tip surveillance.
01:32Sorry, guys.
01:32No.
01:33Here is the x-ray.
01:34It's the left wrist, as you can see.
01:35Ah.
01:36Yeah, that's going to need some metalware.
01:38Yep.
01:38Chris, you need to sort this out.
01:40I'll put it on my list.
01:42He's a good friend.
01:43I don't want to hurt him.
01:44Well, it's too late for that.
01:46Could you just give me a second to think it all through?
01:48You strip that bed back, please.
01:50You are unbelievable.
01:52You know that?
02:00Hey, one sec.
02:06I can kick her out and say that you don't want her to say that.
02:09No, Libby.
02:10No, it's too late.
02:12Hey.
02:13You're finally up?
02:14Yep.
02:15Oh, I'm up.
02:16Do you have your headphones on you?
02:17What?
02:18Let's try this.
02:20Oh, my God.
02:22Oh, OK.
02:23That's actually insanely good.
02:24Try that.
02:26Oh, wow.
02:29OK.
02:30I made you a little playlist.
02:32It's pretty cool.
02:33And it's for your morning trot.
02:35Hey, Libs, do you want in on this?
02:36No, it seems that you've already fluid bonded with it.
02:39Wow, OK.
02:40Yeah, OK.
02:41So we've got Evanescence, Gaga, Kate Bush, Kanye, Controverche.
02:46Then we go back to Evanescence.
02:48It's like a perfect 30 minutes chef's kiss.
02:50Mwah.
02:51I think running is Maeve's quiet time.
02:55Oh, gosh.
02:56Uh, whoopsie.
02:57Sloppy on me groppy.
02:59Here, we can wipe it up with this if you want.
03:01No, no, that's fine.
03:02I'll just borrow one of yours.
03:03OK, T-shirts are in the second drawer.
03:05I know.
03:07Oh, I get it now.
03:08Get what?
03:10Remember the time that Marty was trying to break up with me, so I threw a party?
03:14Yeah, wasn't I there?
03:15Yes, so you get it.
03:16But this time, I'm the party and you're Marty.
03:19OK, I'm lost.
03:21Maeve, I know that I'm having a very embarrassing losing love streak.
03:25But even I know it's not going to work out with old sloppy on the croppy.
03:34OK, I'll put some coffee on.
03:37Don't go out there.
03:39The shitty world's out there.
03:41Hmm.
03:43You just want a date off from it all.
03:46You're not going to give in to Mickey, are you?
03:50No, I made it clear with her last night.
03:53She's just going to take that?
03:54Yeah, to find someone else to help her.
03:56I'm not getting involved.
03:58She knows that.
04:00She respects it.
04:01OK.
04:03I'm done.
04:05I'm working today.
04:06That's it.
04:08You promise?
04:10I promise.
04:12Good.
04:18All right.
04:20I've got to get going.
04:22I've got to get to the Ark.
04:24Land of UTIs, STIs and HPV.
04:29Why is this happening to me?
04:31Hey.
04:32Wherever you are, you'll ace it.
04:40What the hell?
04:42And according to junior doctor Poppy Achari,
04:45there is a strong culture of racial inequity
04:48and discrimination in all health care systems,
04:50including her employer,
04:52Shotman Street Hospital.
04:52Hang on, what's that in?
04:54Online mag, massive distribution.
04:56And I quote,
04:56ethnic minority staff are less likely
04:58to progress to leadership roles,
05:00as exemplified by my recent demotion.
05:02Oh, she's bloody joking.
05:04Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
05:06Can we talk?
05:06You heard this rubbish.
05:07And old white dinosaurs like Dr. Chris Warner
05:10and Dr. Emmett Whitman
05:11still continue to have power?
05:13She named us.
05:15But Poppy wouldn't go to the media.
05:16What?
05:17Show me.
05:17Oh, yeah?
05:18Then why does she go to the media?
05:20Racism remains a public health threat
05:22at Shortland Street.
05:23Hey, I've got to find her.
05:24Jesus.
05:27Anyway, what did you want?
05:29Oh, um, they can wait.
05:32She was transferred out of here
05:33because she assaulted a loke in there.
05:35Any mention of that in there?
05:36No.
05:37There's a super unflattering photo of you.
05:39Of me?
05:40Oh, and one of me.
05:42Great.
05:42Wow.
05:43Way to burn your bridges, Poppy.
05:45They might as well rename ED
05:47the Pale Stale Mail Department.
05:50Gave the girl a box of matches.
05:51She might not have said these things.
05:53Yeah, or she's gone full loose cannons
05:55taking us down with her.
05:57Your select staff give brand-new rides
06:00they don't need.
06:00The MGs are moving billboards.
06:02While we're downstairs
06:03with cheap-ass gloves and dirty laundry
06:05piling up.
06:07Don't conflate sponsorship deals.
06:08You don't understand.
06:09And don't tell me to wait in line
06:10when my staff are frontline.
06:12Poppy.
06:13It wasn't me.
06:14I did not say those things online.
06:16Someone...
06:16I promise you, it wasn't me.
06:19Take a seat.
06:20Thank you, Billy.
06:21Oh, we're not done here.
06:23I would never put my job at risk like that.
06:26Whether you did or not...
06:27I didn't.
06:28I have to remind you
06:30of HR's protocols around publicity.
06:32Unapproved discussion and criticism.
06:34Do you really think that I would lie
06:36about my bosses like that?
06:37Well, you've been under a lot of pressure lately
06:39and with Kai Hamilton's complaint still pending...
06:41I'm telling you,
06:42I did not do this.
06:44Okay, sure.
06:45But next time, consult HR
06:46or come directly to me.
06:47Are you even listening to me?
06:48Poppy.
06:49Take a breath.
06:51What do you think is going on?
06:54I know what I did yesterday was bad.
06:56I get that.
06:57And I'm sorry.
06:58I haven't been myself lately.
06:59You both know that.
07:01But I would never do this.
07:03You have to believe me.
07:05I contacted the magazine.
07:06The journalist claims to have an email string with you
07:09providing quotes, information...
07:10Someone's targeting me.
07:12Do I talk like that, honestly?
07:14Did that even sound like me?
07:15No.
07:16I believe you.
07:20I love this job.
07:22Okay, all I've ever wanted is to be an ED.
07:24And honestly, after all the shit that's happened to me,
07:27if I didn't love this place,
07:28I sure as hell would have left by now.
07:31I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
07:34Yeah.
07:36Me too.
07:43Don't say it.
07:44I'm not gonna.
07:45You were thinking it.
07:46Well, I don't need to.
07:47She's being a chicken right now.
07:48There's nothing you have to say.
07:49The one glove that's not ripped on us this week.
07:52I mean, how?
07:55Why is she doing that?
07:55We don't know each other.
07:57Can you just be nice to her?
07:58I know she's not your type.
08:00Is she yours?
08:01Yeah.
08:03Oh, my God.
08:03You're so stubborn.
08:04You don't have to prove yourself right, you know?
08:05Yes, I do.
08:08To who?
08:09I'm committed.
08:11She should be committed.
08:13I'm serious.
08:14Mate, get rid before she signs you up
08:15for some couples clown workshop
08:17or some sex swing competition.
08:18I like her.
08:19And I'm not gonna stop seeing her.
08:21For you or for anyone.
08:25Okay.
08:33Making headlines again, Christopher.
08:36Don't you start.
08:37I'll be upstairs prepping for that whipple.
08:39Perfect.
08:40I'll join you when I can.
08:41Are they locked in our team yet?
08:42Don't worry.
08:43We'll get your layout just right.
08:46Is that a whiff of judgment
08:47or just your cologne?
08:48What was that really old one again?
08:50Captain Midnight?
08:52When did this happen?
08:54Last night.
08:54Out of the boot call from Paul Cremorne.
08:56But were you back for good or what?
08:57Dr. Whitman.
08:58You?
08:59Yes.
09:00You're our new doctor?
09:02Yes.
09:03Where am I needed?
09:04R-Cube 2.
09:05Head versus pavement.
09:06Query TBI.
09:07No LOC.
09:08Travelling.
09:11Maeve, NeuroWabs.
09:12Room 3, please.
09:13Sure.
09:15Nice of Paul to tell us.
09:17I guess Poppy's keeping him on his toes.
09:20Yeah.
09:20Good on you for having her back, eh?
09:22We both do, right?
09:24Always.
09:26Hey.
09:27Nice to have you down here, man.
09:29Ah, it's nice to be here.
09:39Mickey, what the hell are you doing here?
09:41Nice to see you too, Thai guy.
09:43I'm working.
09:45Yeah, all right.
09:45Call your chance, man.
09:47Why are you here, Mickey?
09:49It's not the same without you.
09:52Yeah, well, I miss you too.
09:54Oh, this place has made you soft.
09:57Can you help me start over?
09:58Yeah, but I've changed my mind.
10:00It sucks here.
10:01Hey, remember that time I was dead set?
10:04We were going to do every theme park on the Gold Coast?
10:06Yeah, you were supposed to be sitting your Year 12 exams.
10:09Yeah, we were both supposed to be at school.
10:12And I didn't have any money.
10:13Didn't have any way of getting us to the Gold Coast.
10:16Yeah.
10:17But did we get there?
10:19Yeah.
10:20And you got us kicked out of SeaWorld
10:22because you fed a Cornetto to a penguin.
10:24He looked hungry.
10:26What's the point, Mickey?
10:28Point is, I go for what I want and I don't give up.
10:31Jesus, Mickey, I told you I'm not.
10:32Come on, I'm not even asking you to touch anything.
10:35Just get us there so the guy can see there's two of us.
10:37In case it goes south.
10:37Which it won't because it's all set up.
10:39It's easier.
10:40It's half an hour.
10:40If that.
10:41I'm working.
10:42It'll take an hour.
10:43Tops.
10:44Mickey, I'm trying to build a life here.
10:46Okay?
10:48I'm not going to risk it.
10:52But you'll think about it.
11:03Hey, almost knock off.
11:05Amen to that.
11:07Are you up to anything?
11:09Emmett.
11:10Oh, God.
11:11No, I've been too forward.
11:12No, no.
11:13It's just...
11:15I'm sorry.
11:15I've got this...
11:18I've got a crush on you.
11:19It's just it's making me behave like a bloody fool.
11:22No, no, you're not.
11:23I...
11:24I like you too.
11:25I've been a bit all over the place.
11:27I'm sorry.
11:28I don't want to miss this app.
11:32Well, we're only one date in.
11:34I mean, I'm keen for another one of you, aren't I?
11:37I mean, I...
11:38I just haven't felt like this for a long time, so...
11:41Shall we resume this at a more appropriate time and place?
11:45Yeah.
11:47Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
11:49Aren't they cute together?
11:51What?
11:52Emmett and Kate.
11:54Oh, yeah.
11:56Stuart.
11:57Cube 2.
11:58I'm going to need to run a blood gas.
11:59Blood gas?
12:00Did it already?
12:00Paperwork's right here.
12:03Okay, when you lesbians both come striding at me like that, it's literally terrifying.
12:06Sorry.
12:08There's something about this place today.
12:11Whoa!
12:11There he is.
12:13Was it fractured?
12:14Just the sprain.
12:16Ah, told you so.
12:17Five back.
12:18Cop it up.
12:20Whoa!
12:21Jump scare.
12:23Excuse me.
12:30Cool.
12:31Cool, cool, cool.
12:38So.
12:39Before you ask, yes, we are.
12:41Let's see.
12:43What?
12:44I have no further questions.
12:46You can ask whatever you like.
12:47I don't have anything to hide.
12:48I have all the information I need.
12:50You're judging me?
12:51No, I'm not.
12:51Yes, you are.
12:53I don't do subtext, you know that.
12:55What do you think of BJ?
12:57Okay.
12:58Why do you care?
12:59I don't.
13:00But everyone else around here seems to think they can weigh in on my love life, so why not
13:03you two?
13:03Fine.
13:04Have it your way.
13:05She's kind and generous, which I appreciate, but she's uncouth, unprofessional and moderately
13:09irritating.
13:10She chews loudly, is extorting patients in ED, which surprisingly to me makes her popular.
13:14In summary, I think she's totally wrong for you, and I think you're in it for the distraction,
13:17dopamine and adrenaline.
13:19See, I told you I don't do subtext, so shall we move on?
13:22Yep.
13:24You've actually got the army upset, which takes a fair push.
13:27Well, not everyone gets an MG.
13:29And you just stuck a huge target on my back by giving me one.
13:32Don't you want it?
13:33Well, I've got a car.
13:35Well, you're leasing the Merc.
13:36Whatever.
13:37Anyway, I thought you were all about optics.
13:40CEO gives a girlfriend a new car.
13:42It's a branded work vehicle.
13:43All the nurses get an ordeal.
13:45I'm handling their concerns.
13:46They run this place.
13:48Look, I don't want anyone to know that I said this, but you take the nurses away, the
13:53whole thing falls apart.
13:53Three seconds.
13:54Don't push it.
13:57Hey.
13:58Hey.
14:00Where are you going?
14:02Um, just...
14:03Don't lie to me.
14:04Out of all the crap you could ever pull, do not do that.
14:06Sorry.
14:08It's Mickey, right?
14:11Look, I'll be super quick.
14:12It's just there and back.
14:13You said you wouldn't.
14:17I know.
14:17You promised me.
14:18Does that not mean anything?
14:19No, of course it does.
14:20Of course.
14:21It's just...
14:23Look, it's just this one thing.
14:24Okay, I'm going to drive her to see a guy.
14:26They're going to have a chat.
14:27I'm going to drive her back.
14:28That's it.
14:28Chat.
14:29Wow.
14:29Look, it's five minutes in the car.
14:31But is it, though?
14:32What if he tries something?
14:34She can take someone else.
14:35Why you?
14:36Because she trusts me, Poppy.
14:37No, why take the one guy she knows wants out?
14:40Yeah, she's messing with you.
14:42She knows how hard you've worked to get here.
14:44You've turned it around.
14:45Hey, you're not that guy anymore.
14:47You're amazing.
14:48And...
14:49I wouldn't be okay if anything happened to you.
14:53Please don't go.
14:55She can find a nice car bonnet for the guy's head if she has to.
14:59Okay, I won't go.
15:04You know that article wasn't real?
15:06You sure?
15:07He swears she never said those things.
15:09I believe her.
15:10Someone did.
15:11Someone thought those things.
15:12Saw them.
15:13You're not honestly saying that you think those things.
15:16Pa-ka-men can be accidentally racist all the time.
15:19Not me.
15:20Is that a counter hashtag?
15:22Instead of me too, it's not me.
15:24Oh, wait, you've been me too'd.
15:26Oh.
15:27Oh, you love digging up old bones.
15:31Old white dinosaur bones.
15:34Oh, so you're a paleontologist now.
15:36I'm just saying you do have form.
15:39Excuse me?
15:40Even with the best of intentions.
15:42I have changed and you know that.
15:44Uh-huh.
15:45I've put in the work.
15:47I still do.
15:47Every day?
15:48Every damn day.
15:50Yet your footstool finds its way to your mouth sometimes.
15:52Oh, and yours doesn't.
15:54Look, I know you try hard.
15:57You have me permanently set at 1996.
16:01Oh, I'm thinking more of the 2000s.
16:04Those tight little eat-hardy shirts.
16:07Okay, I had one and Guy gave it to me for my birthday.
16:12It would have been rude not to wear it.
16:14Sure.
16:14But did he have to buy a size smaller than normal so you had to show off your biceps?
16:19How do you even remember those things?
16:24Go on.
16:25It might be an emergency.
16:27It's not.
16:29It's not.
16:29You were on demand.
16:30I'll let you work.
16:31But I will be back with photographic evidence.
16:40Don't say I don't listen.
16:42Give me that.
16:43Finally.
16:44Thanks, man.
16:45Appreciate it.
16:46Hey, there's going to be an email, but you guys can be the first to know.
16:50Staff now get a 50% discount on coffee.
16:53Okay.
16:54Cool.
16:54Or it's free with any purchase.
16:56Buy a burger, get a coffee.
16:57Buy a breakfast muffin, get a coffee.
16:58Pretty cool, eh?
16:59Oh, my day, boss.
17:01So, we won't be needing the hub coffee machine anymore.
17:04That'll be removed.
17:05Wait, what?
17:06Excuse me?
17:06No, you're not taking away our hub coffee.
17:08Nah, you won't need it with your new discount.
17:10You're going to make us pay for coffee?
17:12Do you realise how many people rely on that caffeine?
17:14We just can't make it work with the new budget.
17:16And with Fitburger conveniently on site...
17:18No, no, I don't want to buy a thumb burger every time I want a coffee.
17:21And I literally never want one.
17:22Yeah, and their brew is yuck.
17:24You just said the discount made your day.
17:26Okay, coffee's coffee, and it is available at a very competitive rate.
17:29All right, enjoy your gloves.
17:43What's all this?
17:45Your backup and cheerleader package.
17:47What?
17:47I'm moving in.
17:48Just for a few days, you know, so I can help out.
17:51Mate, I don't need help.
17:54Yes, you do.
17:55And I need to cook for someone again.
17:58Okay, well, there's plenty of people out there that would love you to do that for them.
18:01Yeah, but I want to cook for you.
18:03So shut up.
18:03Go put a load of laundry on.
18:05I'm making risotto.
18:15I thought we had something good going.
18:18I'm sorry.
18:20I know it feels out of the blue.
18:23It's her, isn't it?
18:24The scarecrow from ED?
18:26No, it's not.
18:28No, I just, I don't want to date right now.
18:33It just doesn't really make sense, Maeve.
18:37You are so charming.
18:39I'm energetic.
18:42I'm more boring.
18:44Like you said, I'm low energy.
18:48I can be chill.
18:49You just have to ask for that.
18:52I just don't think we're compatible.
18:56I am a lot.
18:57Yeah, I know.
18:59I mean, sometimes, sure, but...
19:01Oh my God, it was the bike, wasn't it?
19:05Or the flashing you at volleyball.
19:07The chicken today.
19:09The chicken.
19:09Honestly, BJ, it's more me than you.
19:12I'm just not in my 20s.
19:14I'm a literal grandma.
19:17I mean, I know it sounds cliche, but it's...
19:19It's just not fair on you.
19:21I'm not 100% in.
19:23And so as much as I think you're amazing,
19:26and if the timing were different, maybe...
19:28You must set me free.
19:32I'm sorry.
19:36Well, you're amazing.
19:39And I've really loved getting to know you.
19:43Me too.
19:44Yeah?
19:45Yeah, of course.
19:51Just don't let major pain get in your head again, okay?
19:56Because she'll only bring you down.
20:07Okay, I need to know where we're at.
20:10Sorry?
20:10What are we?
20:11Because I don't want to be mucked around,
20:13and I don't want to muck Emmett around either.
20:15Of course not.
20:16Emmett is a good friend.
20:18Are you going to answer the question?
20:22What are you hoping for?
20:24Honesty.
20:24Hey, I think I've been pretty bloody clear about that.
20:28Okay.
20:30Well, if you want something serious with me,
20:32I'm afraid that's not something I'm after.
20:36Okay.
20:38Fine.
20:40Would have been fabulous to have this kind of honesty last night,
20:43but here we are.
20:44I never wanted to hurt you.
20:45And you can save that, actually,
20:47because this is just as embarrassing for you as it is for me.
20:50Are we going to tell Emmett?
20:51So you can ruin that too.
20:52Kate, I...
20:53I'm still speaking.
20:55You're the same as you've always been.
20:57It's all about you.
21:00I really am sorry.
21:02Just save it.
21:03You're not.
21:18Oh, you're back.
21:21Shit, Mick, are you okay?
21:22Did you get ice for Christmas?
21:24Uh, I'm letting you get me some ice.
21:26A bit late to be helpful.
21:30Three of them busted me.
21:32Me, did you?
21:35Mick, I couldn't do it.
21:36You could wreck everything.
21:37Oh, I wouldn't want to disappoint Princess Poppy, would we?
21:41What?
21:48Yeah, don't worry about me.
21:49I'll, uh, leave you two to finish your jigsaw puzzle.
22:00Wait, Ty, what?
22:01Where are we going?
22:02Did you see her face?
22:03Yeah, but can you...
22:04Hey, what is happening?
22:05Is she pissed off with you because you didn't do that job?
22:08Stay out of it.
22:09I'm on your side.
22:11She's guilt-tripping you because you didn't want to be a criminal.
22:13How is that fair?
22:14You did the exact same thing.
22:16Okay, you pressured me.
22:18You guilt-tripped me.
22:19What?
22:20I was supposed to be there.
22:22Okay, I should have protected her.
22:23But you backed me off and do you see what happened?
22:38Where to?
22:42Ferndale.
22:44I'll tell you where when we get close.
