00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02How'd you afford those, you solid kidney?
00:04Tips.
00:05You've been waiting to blackmail me.
00:07You all right?
00:08Why wouldn't I be?
00:09You forgot that we ordered dinner last night.
00:11What are you trying to suggest?
00:13When people with assets get on your news,
00:15relatives can see it as an opportunity for themselves.
00:18Amanda had a moment.
00:20I don't think she meant to do this.
00:22So you got married.
00:23It's the worst two years of my life.
00:25Darcy is a compulsive liar.
00:26He's clearly got an agenda.
00:28Tell me what you really think, Carl.
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59I'll be trying to do this
01:02Sorry you had to hear that.
01:07But we need answers.
01:09Fire away.
01:11Why didn't you tell us you married Tess?
01:14Because it all ended badly.
01:18It was a long time ago and I was really embarrassed.
01:21Okay.
01:22You were comfortable enough to lie about being on good terms with her.
01:24I thought I was on good terms with her.
01:26All things considered.
01:27This would be the thousands of dollars you owe her.
01:30And whoever else.
01:31And the affairs.
01:32I thought you'd be more understanding given your personal history.
01:36It's not about me Darcy.
01:38It's about you and Tess.
01:40Well maybe she forgot to tell you that she cheated on me first.
01:46And then she tried to get me fired from my job.
01:50No she didn't mention that.
01:52Well what about the money?
01:56What about the doctor you were in business with?
01:58I made a few really bad financial decisions.
02:01But who hasn't?
02:04I've been planning to pay Tess and Anthony back.
02:08And now I've got a steady income.
02:11I can do that.
02:13I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
02:16It's just this whole experience with Tess is painful.
02:23And now to hear that she's still angry.
02:31He's got an answer for everything hasn't he?
02:38Another tea?
02:43You okay?
02:45You seem like you're miles away.
02:46No I'm just trying to make my mind up about something.
02:49Is there anything I can help with?
02:52Um it's to do with Thomas.
02:54Oh.
02:55I have two choices for treatment.
02:58And I'm just not sure which one to do.
03:02I don't want to make a mistake.
03:04Hmm.
03:05Well I guess that's where co-parenting comes in right?
03:09I mean I wouldn't be able to make half the decisions.
03:12I have to with Islay if it wasn't for Nicolette.
03:16Why don't you ask Paul?
03:19He's done so much.
03:22Chelsea he won't mind.
03:24He always puts his kids first.
03:27He is all in isn't he?
03:29Oh yeah.
03:30It's a raffold.
03:38Happy birthday!
03:39No way.
03:42Ooh.
03:46Are you kidding?
03:47My birthday's not for ages.
03:48They're not my side.
03:51I cannot believe you did this.
03:54You're welcome bro.
03:55These are like 500 bucks.
03:58No I can't accept these.
04:00Of course you can.
04:01No they're too expensive.
04:04And you never have money.
04:06Sometimes I do and when I do I get to buy gifts for my nephews.
04:11At least let me pay for some of it.
04:14What would make you feel better if I tell you I didn't pay a full price for them?
04:18I mean that would make me sound less cool but.
04:22Wait they're not stolen are they?
04:25Gee thanks but no.
04:27I just got a discount code.
04:29Really?
04:30Yeah.
04:32Thanks man.
04:33It's all good bro.
04:35Happy birthday.
04:39The specialist called.
04:40He wants to see Thomas tomorrow afternoon.
04:43It's just a routine check up yeah?
04:45I assume so.
04:47Yeah alright I'll be there.
04:51You come too of course.
04:53Oh thank you but I've got a meeting for tomorrow.
04:57My kids loved all the photos of Thomas by the way.
05:00Well I didn't realise you were in contact with them.
05:03I haven't been.
05:05But Paul set up that virtual Mother's Day online thingy for us all.
05:09Really?
05:10Yeah sorry.
05:11I forgot to mention.
05:12That's fine.
05:14It was a very thoughtful Mother's Day gift.
05:19Our order's taking a while.
05:20Sorry I thought she knew.
05:25I hope I didn't put my foot in it.
05:26No no that's alright.
05:32You know how you offered very kindly to buy me a new car?
05:37Yeah have you picked a model?
05:38Well I was thinking I can always borrow a car.
05:42What if the money you were going to spend went to Thomas?
05:47Like the trust fund.
05:51I mean it's just an idea.
05:53Yeah I think it's a great idea.
05:55Yeah okay I'll get onto my account and get something set up.
05:58Hmm.
06:03Hey um.
06:07Look I'm sorry for walking out like that.
06:11Shouldn't have lost my temper.
06:15And I um should have told you both about Tess.
06:19You and Carl have been so good to me.
06:22Which is why I'm so surprised that things have gotten so bad between the two of you.
06:26Darcy is there something going on that I don't know about?
06:29Ah.
06:31You know I think his bride's still wounded.
06:35Maybe it was a mistake.
06:37Me helping him with his workload.
06:39No. No.
06:40You've been wonderful and the residents adore you.
06:46I love it here.
06:48But if I'm causing all this trouble maybe it's time for me to move on.
06:52Resign?
06:53No.
06:55No.
06:56Even if Carl's not grateful he needs you.
06:59And I love having you here.
07:01No Darcy you're not going to go anywhere.
07:03Sorry.
07:04Hey.
07:05I just um.
07:07I'm away to seeing mum and I need a little pep talk.
07:09Oh.
07:11I'm going to ask her to take a cognitive test.
07:14Are you sure?
07:16I don't know if I'd have a choice after what happened with the mug.
07:20Yeah.
07:22Hmm.
07:23Well um.
07:24Maybe I could check on her.
07:26Make sure she's in a good mood.
07:29Okay. Thank you.
07:35Have a seat.
07:38Yeah it's just a basic family trust I set up to cover any expenses Thomas might have in the future.
07:45I mean he'd be the sole beneficiary.
07:47Yeah.
07:48Well that's very reasonable.
07:51Thanks for telling me.
07:53Um also I'm sorry I didn't mention that I had organised for Chelsea's children to call her.
08:00You don't need to explain.
08:01Yes I do.
08:03Look just because I set up something similar for you and your children.
08:07That doesn't mean that I think you and Chelsea are the same.
08:11I was just a little surprised that you'd organised the exact same gesture for both of us.
08:14Yeah I wanted to do something nice for you and your girls and Chelsea and her kids.
08:20Don't forget if Chelsea is happy so is Thomas.
08:23But that doesn't make her my family.
08:24She's not.
08:26Okay?
08:28Therese you will always come first.
08:30You understand?
08:31Always.
08:34Thanks for saying that.
08:36I really appreciate it.
08:44Oh.
08:54Oh.
08:56I nearly had him.
08:58Nah dude it's not your fault the precision sucks on a controller anyway.
09:02Now if Dex would put his fat pile of savings towards a gaming PC.
09:06I'm not building a gaming PC.
09:08Just so you can hog it.
09:10Anyway I can't even afford one.
09:12How much do one of those PCs go for?
09:14Just tax.
09:15$2.50 would barely cover the case.
09:17Oof.
09:20Hey.
09:21Are my sneakers fake?
09:24It's just that I was looking everywhere for a discount code and I couldn't find one.
09:29They're not fake.
09:31No.
09:32I still think they're cool even if they are.
09:35Dex.
09:36I lied to you about the discount code.
09:38Why?
09:39Because I want you to keep your money.
09:41You need it more than I do and I can afford it.
09:44Since when?
09:46Since I picked up a new side hustle.
09:50But let's keep that on the down low.
09:53Is it legal?
09:55You play way too many of these games dude.
09:59Yes.
10:01Have you even tried on your new shoes?
10:03Oh my god.
10:04What are you waiting for?
10:10If you don't want to see Jane I can cover for you.
10:12And let her say I'm the unreasonable one?
10:15No.
10:17If my grandson wants to send his mother in to grovel, so be it.
10:22I wouldn't get your hopes up for any grovelling.
10:24Why not?
10:25Why else is she here?
10:29What do you know?
10:31Um, I probably shouldn't say anything.
10:35I overheard Susan and Jane talking.
10:39They want to give you a cognitive test.
10:42See if the old brain's working.
10:44I'm not so sure why I'm surprised.
10:47I mean, Jane has already sent Byron in with the same intention.
10:52I probably shouldn't interfere but I couldn't let them do that to you.
10:56Thank goodness someone's on my side, you and Sadie.
11:01You know, you don't think there's anything in this, do you?
11:04I mean, you're a doctor.
11:06Have you seen anything strange in my behaviour?
11:09No.
11:10You're a sharpest attack.
11:12Oh, that's what I thought.
11:15This is just between us, okay?
11:17Okay.
11:20Don't worry.
11:22I've got it.
11:24Good.
11:26I mean, Paul's trying so hard to balance everyone's needs and I can't stop letting my feelings get in the way of it all.
11:32Oh, I think you're being a bit hard on yourself.
11:34And he organised my lovely video call with Piper and Imogen and all I can think about is the fact that he did exactly the same for Chelsea and her kids.
11:43I mean, am I being petty?
11:45Hey.
11:46Hey.
11:47Sorry, I'm not interrupting you, Mum.
11:48What are you doing here?
11:49I was just on my way to the specialist and I thought I'd surprise you with one of these before your meeting.
11:53Oh, thank you.
11:55I was just leaving, do you want me to my car?
11:58Yeah, I'd love to.
12:00See you, Susan.
12:01See ya.
12:02So, Mum, I wanted to talk to you about something before we head back.
12:13Yes?
12:17Byron, Byron didn't, he didn't mean to insult you earlier.
12:20He's very worried about you.
12:23Huh.
12:25And so am I.
12:27Because memory losses are one thing, but it's not like you to break something out of spite.
12:33What are you talking about?
12:35I haven't broken anything.
12:38Byron's mug.
12:40What about his mug?
12:42You broke it, Mum.
12:43I saw the pieces.
12:44Rubbish.
12:46It's in my room.
12:48So you don't remember breaking it?
12:51Of course I don't, because it didn't happen.
12:54Mum, I saw it and so did Byron.
12:59I know what you're after.
13:01You want my money.
13:02Well, I'm here to tell you there's hardly any at all.
13:05No.
13:06No, Mum, I don't want your money.
13:09I just want to make sure that you're alright.
13:11I'm fine.
13:14Would you consider taking a test to make sure?
13:20For my sake?
13:22Because, you know, Carl or Darcy could do it for you.
13:26I would have thought that moving my whole life, interstate, on my own, was proof enough of how capable I am.
13:36Mum.
13:37No, I don't want to hear another word about this.
13:39I think I deserve another cup of tea for listening to that.
13:44Ah!
13:45If that's all you wanted to speak to me about, you can leave.
13:49This is, uh, this is Tess.
13:55Darcy has repaid his debt.
13:58Just like he said he would.
14:01You know, he offered to resign earlier today.
14:07That's how bad he feels about the way things have gone between you two.
14:11Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing?
14:13Oh, Carl, he's explained about Tess.
14:16And everything else that you've accused him of.
14:18No, you are going to apologise to him.
14:21And then you're going to tell me exactly what's going on between you two.
14:30Three-pointer!
14:32Let's go!
14:34Oh!
14:36No, no, no, no, no.
14:37I'm not going to embarrass myself.
14:39Wow, Tex.
14:41They're nice kicks.
14:42Yeah, thanks.
14:43New Cosmo and Aussie collabs.
14:45Wow.
14:46They look exy.
14:47How do you afford them?
14:51They're on discount.
14:52Damaged stock.
14:54You know, you can barely towel, but the collectors are really hardcore about this stuff.
14:59Well, I still think it's a silly thing to spend your money on, but good on you for making it work.
15:03Hey!
15:04I'm done.
15:05I'm done.
15:06I'm done.
15:08I'm done.
15:12Hey, how was the meeting?
15:14It was all right.
15:16Although I was thinking about Chelsea the whole way through.
15:19I'm sorry, you must be so sick of hearing me talk about it.
15:22You know, you're beating yourself up because you're not behaving like a saint.
15:26And that's not fair.
15:27You've been put in an impossible situation and you're doing your best.
15:33Believe me, I understand I went through this with Carl and Isabel.
15:37And how did you handle it?
15:39Well, sometimes not very well.
15:43But ultimately, you've just got to push through.
15:44I just want Paul, Thomas and I to end up in the same place as you, Carl and Holly.
15:55But no matter how hard I try, I just can't see it.
15:58You've got to be kind to yourself.
16:01These are really complex issues that you're dealing with and sometimes you're going to feel like you're dealing with them on your own.
16:07But eventually you'll find your feet with all of them.
16:12Even Chelsea?
16:14Even Chelsea.
16:16As long as Paul establishes clear boundaries.
16:22Yes, so we'll both be listed as co-trustees, which means you'll have full discretion on when and how you access it.
16:28Are you sure you don't want me to check in with you first?
16:31Make sure I'm being responsible?
16:32No, I trust you.
16:33I trust you?
16:36Thomas Murphy?
16:38You're looking much stronger, little man.
16:41Dr. Hart's asked me to take him for some tests before she sees you.
16:45Oh, she never mentioned that.
16:47It's routine.
16:48There you go, be alright.
16:50If he gets upset, I'll call you in.
16:52Okay, yeah.
16:56It's alright, it's alright. I'll take good care of him.
17:00Hey, hey. I'm nervous too.
17:04At least we have each other to panic with.
17:06Yeah.
17:14That woman is impossible.
17:16Oh.
17:17Amanda didn't take it well then.
17:19She's got it into her head that Byron and I have some kind of agenda against her and that Angie is denying smashing the mug.
17:25Oh, that's bad.
17:28What am I going to do?
17:31Maybe just ease off for a while.
17:35Amanda's a very independent woman. She's probably terrified.
17:38Yeah.
17:39Yeah.
17:41No, perhaps I should give her some time to get used to the idea.
17:46Please let me know if there are any more incidents.
17:49I will.
17:50And I'll make sure that Darcy stays close.
17:51Darcy.
18:05I should apologise.
18:07I had no business sticking my nose into matters between you and Tess.
18:12Or judging you based on one person's side of the story.
18:15Susan put you up to this.
18:17Doesn't matter.
18:20Apologies worthless.
18:22Unless you mean it.
18:24Have you actually learned anything?
18:27Hmm?
18:28Are you ready to leap at the next chance to call my character into question?
18:32Depends if you give me a reason.
18:36Ever since I've been back on Ramsey Street, I've done nothing but try and help you.
18:40Oh, Darcy, how many strings come attached to that? Hell, you leveraged my dependence on painkillers to get yourself a job.
18:47So you're saying that one good turn doesn't deserve another?
18:49I don't think you're capable of doing a good turn for anyone unless you see something in it for you.
18:56And this is your idea of an apology?
18:59I've apologised for interfering.
19:02But I won't apologise for recognising the same man I knew 20 years ago, standing in front of me right now.
19:11I see.
19:14Well then.
19:15It's nice to finally know where we stand with each other.
19:21Hmm.
19:35Hey.
19:37Everything okay?
19:38Yeah, it's just been quite a day, hasn't it?
19:42Yeah.
19:44I think it was partly down to me.
19:46Hey, let me make you a cuppa.
19:48Oh, thank you.
19:50Carl home?
19:52Yeah, yeah, he's in the shower.
19:55Oh.
19:57He said the two of you spoke.
19:59Yeah, yeah, we did.
20:01He apologised in his way.
20:04Did it help?
20:06Ah, for better or worse.
20:08You know, I think we're, we're back at square one.
20:13How did the, um, chat with Amanda and Jane go?
20:17Oh, not much better than the one with Byron.
20:19Do you think you could keep an eye on her?
20:21Just see if you can...
20:23Oh, oh, it's Billy, sorry.
20:24We've been trying to catch each other, do you mind?
20:25Hey, say hi for me.
20:27Hi, darling.
20:28Oh, I know, it's a miracle.
20:29It's a miracle.
20:55I forgot about my cup of tea.
20:57Hi.
20:59Come on now.
21:00Oh.
21:12They've been gone for too long.
21:14Something must be wrong.
21:16No, somebody would have come to tell us if there was.
21:20Sorry, I'm being a basket case, aren't I?
21:23No, no, no, no.
21:26You are being a good mother, okay?
21:29No, that's not something you should ever, ever apologise for.
21:34Well, if I can't apologise, at least let me say thank you.
21:41You've been so much more than a good father.
21:43You've been...
21:49a good friend.
21:53Even if I don't deserve it.
21:57Do you know the woman that I knew a year ago?
22:00She wouldn't have deserved it.
22:02But you...
22:04I like you better.
22:06Her son is so...
22:08Coming up on Neighbours...
22:10Can't stop thinking whether Andrew's hot rod...
22:1269.
22:13Paul surprised me with it this morning.
22:15It's from Stephanie's.
22:17He certainly knows how to choose jewellery.
22:19Chelsea kissed me.
22:21It was perfect.
22:23We're going to be a family.
22:24We're going to be a family.
