00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:08Mum? What are you doing here?
00:11You know, I haven't had a chance to chat to Mum properly yet.
00:13No time like the present. Also, she doesn't know about Abby's drug addiction.
00:17Good to know.
00:18One minute you're at uni, living in a share house,
00:20and then the next thing I know, you've worked in with Levi
00:22and you're working in a board shop. What happened?
00:24Mum, hey, have you seen Meetings Ring?
00:26Yeah, Deb, it's so beautiful. It's lovely.
00:29But Abigail and I are just talking. No, no, we're done.
00:31No, wait. I've made a decision.
00:33Seeing that I've met all my other children's partners,
00:35I think it's only fair that I come to Summer Bay to meet Marley.
00:38Mum is threatening to come home with me and she will be ready with an interrogation.
00:41So, you know what? It is clove red. Just please, get out of town.
00:44You did the right thing by that girl every step of the way.
00:47It's nice of you to say that, Deb, but I think I let her down.
00:50I guess it's out of your hands now.
00:51Maybe not.
00:52We're seem to think that she's going to bring Eliza home
00:55when she has finished her treatment. We can help her.
00:57That's not going to happen, Rae.
00:58That's not fair.
00:59I'll tell you what's not fair.
01:00You putting everyone in danger because you refuse to see the problem.
01:04Now that I know what the problem...
01:05And as far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't be fostering at all.
01:08I cannot believe you just said that.
01:10And yes, I can't believe you such as dolor that my core problems have a lot.
01:22But once again, my rush gets shared with the grandora that reconnects,
01:23Yeah, it's a fly- Eleven cioèpa!
01:25Thank you so much.
01:26Until early, it high-ottensile to the border,
01:29It is a 운동 system.
01:30That's not a배 blending system.
01:31And all questions have been portrayed.
01:33Wally?
01:34It's me.
01:35Feel free to be busy tomorrow.
01:36Well, you know what?
01:37Maybe just steer clear of the bay altogether.
01:38Mum is threatening to come home with me and she will be waiting for an interrogation.
01:40So, you know what?
01:41It is code red.
01:42Just please, get out of town.
01:43Good afternoon.
01:44Everything all right?
01:45Abby's mum is very busy.
01:46I don't know.
01:47I don't know.
01:48I don't know.
01:49I don't know.
01:50I don't know.
01:51I don't know.
01:52I don't know.
01:53I don't know.
01:54I don't know.
01:55I don't know.
01:56I don't know.
01:57I don't know.
01:58I don't know.
01:59I don't know.
02:00I don't know.
02:01I don't know.
02:02Mum is visiting tomorrow.
02:04The thing with mothers-in-law is typically their bark is worse than their bite.
02:08It's not it.
02:09Well, what is it?
02:10Abby's asked me to stay away.
02:12Why?
02:13Your guess is as good as mine.
02:19I don't know what's worse.
02:20The fact that Theo won't come home or that he won't tell me himself.
02:24Any idea when he's been discharged?
02:27No.
02:28Well, with a bit of luck, he'll come to his senses by then.
02:31Hopefully.
02:32Yeah.
02:33Hey.
02:34Roo, hey.
02:35Welcome back, love.
02:36Do you reckon you might fancy some dinner?
02:38Yeah, I don't know.
02:39Maybe.
02:40What's wrong?
02:41What's happened?
02:42Is everything all right?
02:43Dad is driving me nuts and he's not listening to a word I say.
02:46Oh, Irene, I feel terrible.
02:48Why?
02:49What's happening?
02:50Because I encouraged him to have a chat with her and now they've had a falling out.
02:54Oh, they'll be fine.
02:55They always are.
02:56Do you mind if I quickly just go and check if he's all right?
02:57Yeah, of course.
02:58Go for it.
03:00I'll see the word.
03:01Where is she going?
03:02Where is she going?
03:03She's going to see your dad.
03:04You two had a blue, eh?
03:05Yeah, he wants me to stop fostering.
03:06And I'm guessing you're not ready to do that yet.
03:07When you care this much about something, you don't just give up.
03:08Hi.
03:09Mrs. Stewart?
03:10Huh.
03:11You're back early?
03:12I just saw you.
03:13Yeah, where are you?
03:14Yeah, where are you going?
03:15Where are you going?
03:16She's going to see your dad.
03:17You two had a blue, eh?
03:18Yeah, he wants me to stop fostering.
03:19And I'm guessing you're not ready to do that yet.
03:20When you care this much about something, you don't just give up.
03:23Hi.
03:24Mrs. Stewart?
03:29Huh.
03:30You're back early?
03:31I just saw Rue.
03:32Yeah, we, uh, we had words.
03:33I feel terrible.
03:34I mean, I feel like I pushed you into talking to her.
03:36Ah, don't be silly, Marilyn.
03:37I said what had to be said.
03:42I might have come on a bit strong.
03:53She needed to hear it.
03:54What did you say?
03:56did you say? I said that Eliza wasn't coming back and that Rue needs to take a break from fostering.
04:04That can't have been easy. She'll come round eventually. I hope.
04:13Hey, Abby. Call me back when you can. We need to talk. Okay? Bye.
04:20She's probably busy with her mum. I just don't get it. Doesn't she think that I can handle a few
04:25questions? Who knows? But some mothers can be too inquisitive. More than any woman in my family,
04:31I highly doubt that. Maybe it's nerves. Has she ever introduced a partner before? I don't know.
04:39But she would have met Cash and Mackenzie at the engagement party today, so why can't she meet me?
04:44Engagement? Cash needed. Well, why didn't someone tell me? It only just happened.
04:50I wonder if they thought about a celebration. JP, focus, please. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry. You
04:55wouldn't think I... She's freaking out. I get it. But there's no need. And mums love me.
04:59Yeah, I'm sure they do. But hey, listen to me. Maybe you should steer clear on this one. At least
05:04until you know what's going on. No. Actually, I'm going to show up tomorrow and introduce myself
05:11to Abby's mum. Are you sure? Yeah. I'm going to rock up or charming and sweet and prove to
05:18Abby that she's got nothing to worry about. You're a good bloke, Molly. Thanks. I'm actually
05:24looking forward to it. Hey, wait. I want to hear about Cash and Edie.
05:35I don't know what time Rue got in last night and she was gone when I got up this morning.
05:39So you think she's avoiding us? That looks like it.
05:42How are these two going to sort anything out if they can't be in the same room together?
05:45Excuse me for a minute. Hi. Thank you for meeting up.
05:53Oh, I was happy to. Your voicemail said you had some concerns about Theo.
05:56I just want to get an update on his progress.
05:59Okay. He's doing well. He should be discharged in the next few days or so, as far as I know.
06:05Really?
06:06Yeah. Didn't Theo tell you?
06:07I thought the hospital wasn't able to discharge him if he had nowhere to go.
06:13Well, I presume he's coming home with you.
06:14Oh, not necessarily.
06:16Is this something you should be discussing with Theo?
06:19He banned me from visiting him.
06:22All right.
06:24Leah, I can't discuss his care with you if that's the case.
06:28I understand, but hypothetically speaking...
06:30I'm sorry. I actually can't say any more.
06:32Well, I do have to keep moving now.
06:40Hey, terrific news about Cash and Eden.
06:43Sure is.
06:45Undoubtedly, they'll be looking for a celebrant.
06:48Looks like I might have another wedding on my books.
06:51Well, that's assuming that they are skill.
06:55Surely they will.
06:56Maybe they don't want the fuss, love.
07:00If it were me, I'd be a lope.
07:03Fine, bye, mate.
07:04I'll go with them.
07:08Hey.
07:10Your dad hasn't been in this morning, love.
07:12If that's what you're worried about.
07:14Am I that obvious?
07:17I'd hope you two might have patched things up last night.
07:20No, we didn't.
07:22I just really don't want to see him at the moment.
07:24Well, darling, you've just had to say goodbye to Eliza.
07:28Things are bound to be tough for a while.
07:30Well, maybe just try and go easy on each other.
07:37I'll just have the usual to go.
07:39Thanks, Irene.
07:39Yeah, love.
07:40Of course.
07:40And this is the surf club, which is where Abby, Eden and I all work.
08:04Just upstairs there.
08:05Yeah, boss is a bit of a tyrant.
08:06Ah, when I have to be.
08:08I can see why my kids all moved here.
08:10This is beautiful.
08:11Yeah, well, don't get any ideas.
08:12Okay.
08:13Oh, there's my boy.
08:14Hey, Mum.
08:15How is the patient?
08:16Ah, nothing urgent.
08:18Maybe we should go upstairs and eat or even take a hike to the lighthouse.
08:21Ah, it's a pretty long hike.
08:23How about after food?
08:24Yeah.
08:25Good morning.
08:27You must be Deborah.
08:28I am, and you are?
08:30I'm Marley, Abigail's boyfriend.
08:33Marley.
08:34Just the person I wanted to see today.
08:37It's a pleasure to meet you.
08:38You too.
08:39Why don't I shout us all breakfast?
08:41Oh, no, Deb.
08:41It's on the house, naturally.
08:43Perfect, Mac.
08:44Marley, come eat with us.
08:45Let's get to know each other.
08:46You know what, Mum?
08:47I think Marley is really busy.
08:48I'd love to.
08:50Wait.
08:52Great.
08:53Let's go.
08:56Marley.
08:58What do you think you're doing?
09:00It's cool.
09:01I've got this.
09:08How can the hospital discharge him if he's got nowhere to stay?
09:14What, Levi couldn't tell you anything?
09:16Hospital policy, apparently.
09:18That makes sense.
09:20He's my nephew.
09:20I can't just stand around while he's homeless.
09:22No, of course not.
09:26Yeah, thank you.
09:28So you got my text?
09:30Because I'm ready to talk now, if you are.
09:34Yeah, we need to sort this out.
09:38Did you design all these boards?
09:40Yep.
09:40Shaped them, too.
09:42Well, I ain't quite the talent, Marley.
09:43I can see why Abby's calling for you.
09:45Oh.
09:46Okay, why don't we go upstairs and grab a table?
09:48I can organize that.
09:49You guys take your time.
09:50I'll join you.
09:52Abby is hating them.
09:54I think I'll be fine.
09:55Mine seems to improve so far.
09:57I'm sorry you couldn't make the engagement.
09:59Oh, no.
10:00I would have loved to have been there, but I have work to do.
10:03Well, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Abigail was trying to keep you on the right path.
10:07No, Abby wouldn't do something like that.
10:10Mm-mm.
10:11Hey, JP.
10:13Uh, this is John Palmer, Surf Club Manager.
10:16John, Deb.
10:18Oh, you must be Abby's mother.
10:20It's an honor and a pleasure.
10:22Nice to meet you.
10:24So you must have had fun working with these lovebirds, huh?
10:26Mother.
10:27No, no, no.
10:27They were highly professional the whole time.
10:29Don't you worry about that.
10:30Which is hardly surprising because Marley is a model tenant.
10:34Hard-working, reliable, kind-hearted.
10:36We're lucky to have you.
10:38Anyways, we should get upstairs because Mac and Levi are waiting.
10:42Thanks, JP.
10:43After you, Deb.
10:44All right, come on, Mum.
10:45Let's go.
10:45What?
10:50What, is it too much?
10:52I called ahead and said a very important guest was coming.
10:54I mean, a regular table would have been fine.
10:56I know, but I just...
10:57I really need to be Deb's favourite.
10:59When you give her a grandchild, you will be.
11:01Mm.
11:02Okay.
11:04This is fancy.
11:05Welcome.
11:06Oh, thanks, Mac.
11:07I'm going to grab us some menus.
11:09Marley?
11:09What do you think that you're doing?
11:16I asked you to keep your pistons.
11:17Yeah.
11:18What was that about?
11:19Well, this is too much for me right now.
11:21You're getting along great.
11:23Yeah, I can see that.
11:23Then what's the problem?
11:26Marley, she treats me like a child.
11:28And she wants to learn every little detail about my life.
11:30Unavoidable, especially when you're the baby of the family.
11:32No, it's more than that.
11:33It's because I'm a screw-up.
11:34You're not a screw-up.
11:39Everything okay?
11:41Yeah.
11:42All good.
11:43I really hope you're hungry.
11:44Starving.
11:50Hey, Theo, I heard you're being discharged soon.
11:54Can you just let me know when?
11:56Call me, you'll text.
11:59Just let me know, okay?
12:01All right, bye.
12:07Here we go.
12:08Thanks, Zoran.
12:10Look, you know, when you said that I should give up fostering altogether, that really hurt me.
12:15Well, that wasn't my intention.
12:16Well, it made me feel like a failure, Dad.
12:18I don't think you're a failure, Rue.
12:20But I meant what I said.
12:22What happened with Eliza can never happen again.
12:25It would be different next time.
12:27I'm not convinced it would be.
12:31It's not about Eliza.
12:33Or any other kid you might want to help.
12:36It's about you.
12:37Look, it's wonderful that you care.
12:41But you cared so much with Eliza, you had no idea what was really going on with her.
12:45I understand what you're saying.
12:47I'm not sure you do.
12:48So how was working with Abby?
12:52Right?
12:53She's a hard worker.
12:54That's not a stickler for the rules so far.
12:56All right, Mum.
12:57Give it a rest.
12:58Molly came to eat, not to get interrogated.
12:59I don't mind.
13:01I'm with Molly.
13:02There are times when this place is a million miles an hour.
13:04There are days I wouldn't cope without her.
13:05Well, it sounds like you landed on your feet, huh?
13:07Okay, Mum.
13:08You can dance it up.
13:09Perhaps.
13:10What's so bad about me wanting to know about your life?
13:12I'm your mum.
13:12I care.
13:13No, I know.
13:14It's just a little much.
13:16Deb, I get you worried, but Abby is doing really well now.
13:21Now?
13:22Yeah.
13:23She's put her recovery first, and you should be really proud of her.
13:26Recovery from what?
13:34Abigail?
13:37Maybe this is a conversation for later.
13:40No, I think this is a conversation for right now.
13:46Um, if you'll excuse us, I just need to have a private word with children.
13:55Now, please.
13:56She's really a knight, is she?
14:11She's about to.
14:12How could you keep this from me?
14:31What about Eden?
14:31Does she know about this?
14:34Mum, Abby has been clean for months, okay?
14:37And she's been going to counselling.
14:39It's really been helpful.
14:39You don't think I had a right to know?
14:43Abby had a right to privacy.
14:44She's not your patient, Levi.
14:46Mum, stop.
14:47It is under control.
14:48Okay?
14:52Is this what was going on when you dropped her at my house?
14:55And why you freaked out when she took off?
15:02Yeah.
15:02And you still didn't think to tell me, Levi.
15:05Even when she had disappeared.
15:08Had I known that there was a problem, I could have helped.
15:17I didn't want you to.
15:19Okay?
15:20Eden and Levi have helped me more than anyone.
15:22They got me clean.
15:24They kept me in counselling.
15:25They gave me somewhere to live.
15:26Maybe I would have done all of that.
15:28Yeah, but the point is I didn't want you to.
15:29Okay?
15:31It is not on.
15:32Eden or Levi, it's on me.
15:35I'm the one that took the drugs, and I'm the one that kept it a secret.
15:37Hey.
15:59Hey.
16:01I thought about what you said.
16:03Really?
16:05And I'm not going to try and get Eliza back.
16:07Well, that's a good thing.
16:10Yeah.
16:11And I think you're right.
16:12You know, I do tend to get emotionally involved.
16:16But you see, I don't think that's a bad thing.
16:19Neither do I, most of the time.
16:22Bru, you just love to help people.
16:25And I admire that about you.
16:27Well, I'm really glad to hear you say that.
16:30You see, because I'm not going to give up on fostering.
16:33I think I have too much to offer.
16:35I understand that.
16:36But my position hasn't changed.
16:40Neither has mine.
16:44Listen, I think this whole thing's been so intense, hasn't it?
16:48So I'm going to go and stay at Mum's for a bit.
16:50If I'm going to help other people, Dad, I have to help myself first.
16:54That's a really good idea.
16:56So we agree to disagree?
16:58Don't we always?
17:02Look, it could have been worse.
17:04How?
17:05Something happened with Abby's mum.
17:08It all seemed to be going so well.
17:10How was I supposed to know it was the secret?
17:13What was the secret?
17:13Not now, John.
17:17What, did you know?
17:18Yes.
17:19Levi gave me the heads up.
17:20Great.
17:21So it was just me.
17:22I just assumed that her mum would have known.
17:26I know, of course you did.
17:27And that's completely understandable.
17:29Well, hey.
17:31Is Abby okay?
17:33She will be.
17:33She just has a lot to go through with mum right now.
17:37Should I go up there?
17:38I think the best thing to do, Marley, is just give them some space.
17:45I'll do it at work.
17:46Okay.
17:47Talk to you later.
17:55I've really messed things up, haven't I?
18:00Give my love to Martha.
18:02I will.
18:03Are you sure you're not leaving because of all this trouble with your dad?
18:06No, no, no.
18:06We're fine.
18:07We're fine.
18:07He just has to accept my decision, that's all.
18:09It's a big ask.
18:10Yeah.
18:11Well, you know, I know he thinks he's doing the right thing, but it's important to me.
18:15So I'm not going to give up.
18:16Anyway, I'll call you when I get there.
18:18I'll see you.
18:18Bye.
18:18Bye.
18:18Bye.
18:21Do you mind taking care of things here?
18:24Um, sure.
18:25Is there a problem?
18:26Not knowing anything about Theo is driving me nuts.
18:30Rue's right.
18:31When it's this important, you don't give up.
18:33Love, please think carefully before you do anything.
18:34All I've been doing is thinking.
18:36I'm going to the hospital, and I'm talking to Theo, and nobody's stopping me.
18:40Hey.
18:43How did it go with your mum?
18:59It wasn't fun.
19:00Having to share all that stuff with her was really hard.
19:03I'm just really not happy that we kept it a secret.
19:05I am so sorry.
19:08Deb seemed upset because she didn't know what was going on in your life.
19:12Okay, so how I feel that that didn't matter to you?
19:14Abby, come on.
19:16Do you have any idea what you've done?
19:18I snuffed up.
19:20I assumed that she was worried because of your addiction.
19:22Okay, you know what? I don't care what you assumed, Amali.
19:25I asked you to keep your distance and you did the complete opposite.
19:28I know.
19:29I did it so that you could avoid a thousand questions.
19:31But now you've just gone and thrown me under the bus.
19:33Why, how was I supposed to know that you hadn't told your mum this stuff?
19:41Where do I go from here?
19:44Well, I need to go and stay with my mum for a few days
19:46because I've really hurt her and I need to try and fix that.
19:50You know what? I need to actually prove to her that I am okay.
19:54What can I do?
19:56You've done enough.
20:01Leah, hey, what are you doing in here?
20:23Where's Theo?
20:24I don't know.
20:25You know I can't tell you that.
20:26Well, he hasn't been discharged yet.
20:28His stuff's here, so is he going for a scan or...?
20:30We discussed this, remember?
20:31Oh, we'll just wait till he gets back.
20:34If Theo's asked not to see you, then you can't be in here.
20:37I'm his family.
20:38This isn't up for discussion.
20:40You have to leave.
20:43Make me.
20:44If you refuse to leave, I have to call hospital security.
20:48Go on then, do it.
20:50Are you really making me do this?
20:51I am not going anywhere.
21:09Hey.
21:10Hey.
21:11You know, when you cut our kiss short, I was really sad.
21:13You know?
21:14It's really hard to recreate moments like that.
21:17It's just a shame they couldn't have met under better circumstances.
21:20What do you mean?
21:21Because he'd been beaten up.
21:22That's what the whole security and everything was for,
21:24at least until the court case is over.
21:26Whoa, whoa, whoa.
21:27What security?
21:28What court case?
21:30I will not allow you to be involved in this.
21:32You won't allow it.
21:33No, I mean it.
21:34Dana, you are not allowed to see Sonny anymore.
