00:08How could you keep this from me?
00:09I shouldn't have to find out from him that you two were together.
00:11Eden, you've been so sick.
00:13Yes, I am sick, but I am not a child.
00:15She just needed someone to confide in.
00:17Oh, you must be loving this.
00:19What are you talking about?
00:20You get to step in and be Abby's big sister, right?
00:23Not at all.
00:23You need to stay in your lane.
00:25I am not dead yet.
00:26Surely there's someone else going through what you're going through that you can talk to.
00:30Got a support group for everything these days.
00:34This feels like this one mistake will follow me around forever.
00:37And all I want is to make a new life with the girl that I love.
00:40You can still do that.
00:41You have no idea how much this means to me.
00:43I promise I'll be the best houseguess ever.
00:45Justin, he's a kid who made a mistake.
00:48Yeah, he shot David, our friend.
00:51How are we supposed to tell him that this guy's living with us?
00:53I tracked down Justin.
00:55Is he, huh?
00:56Why do you want to see Justin?
00:57Long overdue for a catch-up.
00:59I'll just shoot him a text.
01:02David doesn't know that Richie's living at your house, does he?
01:25Ladies, police, will you swim between the flags?
01:29You're not there for decoration.
01:32Honestly, how many times have you got to tell people to swim between the flags before they
01:36get it through their thick head?
01:37I don't know.
01:38You tell me, mate.
01:39Four.
01:41Busy day, is it?
01:42Oh, I'm swamped.
01:43I'm on back-to-back patrols.
01:44As well as managing the surf club, we just don't have the manpower.
01:47Well, I thought the fundraiser sorted that out.
01:49Oh, we've got plenty of money.
01:50Just don't have the volunteers.
01:52Sorry to hear that.
01:53Yeah, well, never mind.
01:55I've never got a full cohort for the next bronze medallion course, so once that's full,
01:59it's full steam ahead.
02:01Right.
02:01So if you can think of anyone who'd be interested, you can tell me.
02:05What's that for?
02:05Bronze medallion course.
02:07Yes.
02:07Right.
02:08I'll keep my ear to the ground.
02:10Well, hang on.
02:10You're out there often enough.
02:11Why don't you give it a go?
02:13No.
02:13No, I like to relax when I come to the beach.
02:15Who says being a lifeguard isn't relaxing?
02:18You just said it a moment ago.
02:21I've got to go.
02:23All right.
02:25Well, I'll stay here then.
02:27Keeping the beach safe.
02:29The beach that you use.
02:33Hey, there's still a few more hours before the shops close, so I might head to Abbey Creek,
02:37hand out some more CVs.
02:38You've sent out so many already.
02:40I just don't want you putting too much pressure on yourself.
02:43I'm not, but let's face it, my CV's not that impressive.
02:47I'm better in person than I am on paper.
02:51Well, you don't have to prove yourself to me, so...
02:57That was fast.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Yeah, it was.
03:01Take it, it didn't go well.
03:04You could say that.
03:05I might go hand out those CVs.
03:10I'll call you tonight.
03:12Mm-hmm.
03:18How bad was it?
03:21I'm going to make a tea.
03:21You want one?
03:23No, I'm fine, thanks.
03:25You okay?
03:28Yes, darling, I am okay.
03:35Did you mean what you said to Mac?
03:39I shouldn't have said what I said, Kate.
03:42I just saw Red when she came in here acting like she knew my siblings better than I do.
03:50And the truth is, she kind of does.
03:53The only conversations that I'm involved in are the ones about this stupid illness.
03:58It sucks.
04:00I'm not going to get an argument from me there.
04:03But you wanted us to face reality.
04:07This is our reality.
04:11They're not trying to hurt you.
04:13They're trying to look after you.
04:19I should be the one looking after Abby.
04:27He's going to break her heart again, and this time I'm probably not going to be there to pick up
04:31the pieces.
04:45Guess what just happened?
04:47David texted me.
04:49Let me guess.
04:50He wants to catch up.
04:51Well, how do you know that?
04:52Because he was here earlier saying as much.
04:55Oh, great.
04:55So, how am I supposed to face the guy now that Richie's living in my house?
05:00Um, you mean our house?
05:01Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:02Our house where we discuss big decisions before we make them.
05:06Do you really want to go down this path?
05:07Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:08I've got the higher ground here.
05:09I'm going to take it.
05:10Tell David, please.
05:12He needs to know.
05:13Why didn't you just tell him he was just here?
05:15The one with the problem, you are.
05:16Oh, nice.
05:17All we have done is give a kid who needs a roof over his head a place to stay.
05:22He's going to hate this.
05:23So, what are you going to do?
05:25Avoid the guy for the rest of your life?
05:30There's a thin red line
05:33That we're caught behind
05:38But the heaviness you feel
05:42You know I feel the same
05:44Oh, you haven't eaten yet?
05:47I'm going to go get some sleep.
05:49Okay.
05:49Um, before you go, can I ask you a question, please?
05:53Sure.
05:55When I gave you the round-the-world tickets for our anniversary, what was your first thought?
06:01That it was a beautiful gesture, but a part of me thought, I hope these are refundable.
06:08I'm just being honest.
06:13I'm going to go lie down.
06:26She tells me she's getting old
06:30Her best days have come and they've gone
06:37I don't believe that
06:40Hey, are you around?
06:44I really need to talk to someone
06:50Here's my number
07:05You know, Eden was just lashing out.
07:08I really don't think it has anything to do with you.
07:10I didn't make it any better though
07:14Hey
07:18You don't feel like I'm trying to replace Eden, do you?
07:22No, of course not
07:22Okay
07:24It's just the fact that it crossed her mind in the first place
07:27You know, she just really doesn't think that she's going to make it
07:33I know this is really hard
07:35And I am so sorry
07:38But I do still believe there's hope
07:45I'm sorry you got caught up here
07:46No
07:48No, no, no
07:49I'm a big girl
07:51I can handle it
08:08I know this is her
08:25Cash Newman speaking.
08:29Melanie, hi.
08:32Ah, no, no, no, no.
08:33You're not calling too late at all.
08:35I'm really glad you called.
08:39How am I going?
08:40Um, it's been a tough day.
08:55I love you.
08:57Okay.
08:58Bye.
09:01How was Levi?
09:03He settled in.
09:06He's okay.
09:07I just...
09:07I feel terrible that I'm not there with him.
09:10He'll be okay.
09:12Guessing you didn't tell him what happened with Eden after he left?
09:15No, absolutely not.
09:17I sugar-coated everything.
09:19He doesn't need to deal with that until he's in recovery.
09:22Yeah, it was hard enough to get in there in the first place.
09:24Exactly.
09:27I keep wanting to text Eden and apologize.
09:30But I also know that she needs rest.
09:32And it's probably just going to upset her more, right?
09:36I think Cash has it covered.
09:41So you think that I should just keep quiet and let her come to me?
09:45Yeah.
09:47Yeah, when she's ready.
10:04Well, family's trying to protect her.
10:05I'm actually...
10:06I'm trying to protect her.
10:07I just keep getting caught up in how I'm feeling.
10:12Yeah.
10:14Yeah, well, I hear that.
10:16And, you know, I understand she needs to be in control.
10:20I guess I'm...
10:21I guess I'll just have to try.
10:28Dash, who are you talking to?
10:30Melanie.
10:32Hey, Melanie, sorry.
10:34My wife's just gotten back up, so I'm going to have to go.
10:36But, look, I really, really appreciate you making the call, hey?
10:43All right.
10:45Bye.
10:47Are you okay?
10:49Yeah.
10:50Yes?
10:50I just didn't realize you two were talking now.
10:52Oh, does it bother you?
10:53No.
10:54Not at all.
10:55I'm glad you got someone to talk to.
10:57Yeah.
10:59Did you learn anything interesting other than the tofu recipes?
11:04I might have.
11:15It's nice to have help around here.
11:16Uh-huh.
11:17Don't worry.
11:18I'm just grateful for all the meals.
11:19Don't tell my mum, but your cooking is the best I've had.
11:22Yeah, she's a good cook.
11:24So, uh, found some of your CVs next to the printer.
11:28Oh, if you don't mind, I used them.
11:29Oh, no, no, no, no.
11:30It's all good.
11:30It's all good.
11:32How's the job hunting, gal?
11:33Yeah, good, good.
11:34I handed out a bunch of CVs yesterday, hoping something comes of it.
11:37I'm sure you'll find a position soon.
11:39Yeah, you know, in the meantime, though, I've been thinking about doing some volunteering.
11:44Why?
11:46Uh, to do some good, um, make some connections, mend some fences in the community, metaphorically speaking.
11:53I think that's a wonderful idea.
11:55So, what are you thinking?
11:56The, uh, manager of the surf club actually mentioned some life-saving positions.
11:59Yeah, I reckon you should probably get some paid work first, then you wouldn't be stuck
12:04here with us, would you?
12:05Yeah, don't worry about that.
12:06You can stay for as long as you need.
12:08Oh, thank you, but be careful.
12:09You keep feeding me, I'll never leave.
12:12Look, I should, uh, get going.
12:14But thanks again for brekkie.
12:15Our pleasure.
12:16All right.
12:17See ya.
12:17Bye.
12:18See you, mate.
12:22Why do you have to hassle him like that?
12:25Like what?
12:26We both know you don't want to tell David that Richie is staying here.
12:30If he leaves soon, maybe I won't have to.
12:33How did you reply to David's text?
12:35Are you ghosting him now?
12:37Maybe.
12:38Oh, for goodness sake.
12:40Okay, okay.
12:40Look, sorry, mate.
12:45Can't hang out.
12:48Bit busy.
12:50Same.
12:51There.
12:52Problem solved.
12:58Take a seat, guys.
13:03All right.
13:08Okay, so, what's this all about?
13:11Well, look, you both know that Eden has been feeling excluded, right?
13:15Yeah, but, I mean, we really didn't mean to make her feel that way.
13:18Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
13:19We've all been really worried about it, hey?
13:21I think we've been treating her with kid gloves.
13:24And that's got to stop.
13:27What are you suggesting exactly?
13:29Well, I'm suggesting that from now on,
13:31if there is a hard conversation to be had,
13:35then we have it straight away.
13:37If we're organizing something in,
13:39we're worried that she's going to be too tired,
13:41let's invite her anyway.
13:43She's still Eden.
13:46Let's just keep treating her the same way that we always do.
13:52Okay.
13:54Okay.
13:57I think you should both go and visit her today.
14:00Yeah.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Okay.
14:04That's settled.
14:06Settled.
14:14Whoa!
14:15In a hurry there, big boy.
14:16Ah, yeah, I am, actually.
14:17Oh, is Eden all right?
14:18Yes, yes, she is.
14:19I've got Remy visiting her.
14:20I've got to get out of the house and get a couple of things done.
14:22Okay.
14:22Anything I can do to help?
14:23Ah, no.
14:24No.
14:25No, I might have actually found a way to raise her spirits.
14:28All right.
14:29Make her somewhere special, make her feel like a queen for a day.
14:32Actually, it's almost the exact opposite.
14:35Are you hiding?
14:37Um, no.
14:39No?
14:40Maybe.
14:44What are you doing here?
14:45I'm just sorting some stuff out with Mac and Salt, and then we're going to go visit Eden.
14:49Oh, that's great.
14:50Hey, good luck.
14:51Yeah, thanks.
14:52We're going to need it.
14:54Is that your CV?
14:55Yes.
14:56Uh, hey, is John good mates with Cash?
14:58No, I wouldn't say that they're besties.
15:00Although he did officiate Cash at Eden's wedding, and their neighbours.
15:04Great.
15:05Wonderful.
15:06Yeah, that's fantastic.
15:07Hey, why?
15:08What?
15:08Just, um, John was really keen to sign me up a week ago, but now Cash knows I'm back,
15:13and they're hooking, you know.
15:15Yeah, but baby, baby, it probably has nothing to do with you.
15:18Like, at all.
15:19Yeah.
15:19You're right.
15:20You're right.
15:20Yeah.
15:21You just need to put your best foot forward.
15:23Wow, John, with your enthusiasm, because you've got that in bucket load.
15:26Yeah, I do, don't I?
15:27Yes, you do.
15:29Hey, thank you.
15:30Mm-hmm.
15:32Did you have fun with Remy?
15:34I did.
15:34Thank you for organising my play date.
15:37You're welcome.
15:37I'm more curious about where you disappeared to off chatting with Melanie again, were you?
15:41No.
15:42No, but I was acting on some of her advice.
15:46Come in.
15:48Hey.
15:50Hi.
15:53I'm going to leave you to it.
15:54Mm-hmm.
15:58Smart man.
15:59Yep, that's one way of putting it.
16:04Eden.
16:05I really want to apologise.
16:06You don't have to, okay?
16:08I'm the one who overreacted.
16:10Even still, I would never, ever try to replace you.
16:15Not that I ever could.
16:20Yeah, besides, no one could replace my bossy big sister.
16:23Mm-hmm.
16:24Much, aren't you?
16:25Mm-hmm.
16:26And we're also really sorry for keeping you in the dark.
16:29Yeah.
16:30Yeah.
16:31That wasn't fair.
16:32And from now on, we're going to include you in everything.
16:35No matter how sick or tired or grumpy you are.
16:39Um, thank you.
16:41You're welcome.
16:43But it will be up to you to decide how much you can handle, not us.
16:47And in the spirit of transparency, I have to go, otherwise I won't be there when Levi wakes up from
16:52surgery.
16:53No, of course.
16:54You look after him for us.
16:55I will do.
16:57Bye.
16:58Bye.
17:00Do you mind if I hang around for a bit?
17:02Not at all.
17:03I would love that.
17:05Okay, great.
17:05Because I know that all of this started because I didn't tell you about Richie, but I could really do
17:09with my big sister's advice.
17:11Really?
17:11Yeah, he's great and all, but he...
17:14Oh, yeah, yeah, I know the feeling.
17:16Yeah.
17:16I'm really trying to help him find a job and get friends and sort of settle for him.
17:20Also, I want to do it on his own.
17:21Yes, absolutely.
17:23He should be doing well.
17:24Yeah, right.
17:25This is not for sure.
17:26It's not, not at all good because you can support him.
17:32Oh, nice suit.
17:34Thanks.
17:35Landed yourself a job interview, have you?
17:37Yeah, something like that.
17:39Got to put your best foot forward.
17:41Exactly.
17:42Don't you look smart?
17:43He's about to go and smash a job interview.
17:45Don't let him put pressure on you.
17:46No, I'm just encouraging the bloke.
17:48I better head out.
17:49Wish me luck.
17:50Good luck.
17:50You're not going to need it.
17:53Why?
17:54I told you not to hustle him.
17:59What?
18:00It's David.
18:01Really?
18:02He's asking to see if I'm all right.
18:05Well, obviously your last text wasn't so convincing.
18:08Sweet of him, though.
18:12Richie better get this job.
18:14Whatever it is.
18:18I assure you, Alf, I'm soaring it.
18:20The class will go ahead eventually.
18:22Look, you know as well as I do that club funds are precious and I'm not about to waste them
18:26on a course that's one candidate short.
18:28All right.
18:31Good chat.
18:34Excuse me, Mr. Palmer.
18:36I would love a moment of your time.
18:38I understand you're a busy man, but I promise to make it worth your while.
18:41What can I do for you?
18:42I would like to apply for the volunteer position of Surf Lifesaver.
18:45I think I'd be a real asset to the team.
18:47Do you now?
18:48I thought we could discuss the role over some morning tea.
18:51My shout, of course, unless you've already eaten.
18:53No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:55You go upstairs and wait for me.
18:56I'll be five minutes.
18:57Like you say, I'm a busy man.
18:58Great.
18:59Well, I'll see you then.
19:00Okay.
19:00No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
19:02Order me a pastry and a latte.
19:04Large.
19:05Yes, sir.
19:21You're going to order anything for yourself?
19:23I've already eaten.
19:24Do you mind if I just jump right in?
19:27Right.
19:27Well, you should know that I'm a hard worker.
19:29I'm physically fit.
19:30I always get my paperwork done in record time.
19:33An admirable trait.
19:34Anyway, tell me, what do you reckon your five-year plan is?
19:39I used to have one.
19:41Life took a different direction.
19:43I'm aware.
19:43But one thing that's always given me a sense of purpose, Mr Palmer, is serving the community.
19:48Yeah, a lot of people say they want to serve, but most of them just seem to sit around and
19:53complain all day.
19:54Not me.
19:54I believe in making a difference.
19:56Yeah, well, you should be aware that the course is pretty full.
19:59I'm not really sure we could even find a spot for you.
20:02Please, Mr Palmer, I need this.
20:05Yeah, well, you don't have to make it.
20:06The truth is that half the town hates me, and I need this job if I'm going to start turning
20:11people's opinions around.
20:12And obviously, apart from the job that I wanted to do, I don't think there's anything more
20:17noble or important than what happens here on the beach.
20:22I just need a chance to prove myself.
20:26That's all I'm asking.
20:36Dave is still texting you.
20:38Cass has invited me out to lunch.
20:41He's invited you too.
20:42I can't.
20:42I'm working.
20:44Maybe I'm working too.
20:46I know.
20:48You get an easy out, I don't.
20:51Avoiding David until Richard moves out is not a viable option.
20:55I'm going to have to tell him, aren't I?
20:57Yeah.
21:00This should be fun.
21:10Must be nice over the house to yourself.
21:14Better get another drink.
21:16I tried to tell David.
21:17It just wasn't the right time.
21:19I don't think there's ever going to be a right time.
21:23Oh, no.
21:24Leah's nephew Theo died a year ago.
21:27He was living with her.
21:28He feels terrible.
21:29He actually just went to your place to apologise.
21:35What are you doing here?
