00:00John, it's time for a change.
00:09I'm selling up because I want to travel the world.
00:12This is not just a break.
00:14This is forever.
00:16What are you going to do with no home?
00:17When you run out of money, where are you going to live?
00:19Love, I don't have the luxury of living with the what-ifs.
00:23You're on your own.
00:24I don't want anything to do with this.
00:26So congratulations are in order, eh?
00:29You're the first person that said that.
00:31You don't look too happy about it.
00:33Oh, I'm in Palmer, eh?
00:35I must be a pretty great boyfriend
00:37if you don't mind being homeless while I'm around.
00:40I wish every woman could experience the joy you must feel.
00:43But alas, I am taken.
00:44And happily, I thought.
00:46You're lucky I like you.
00:47You're lucky I love you.
00:50Time for a drink, eh?
00:50I'm in Palmer.
01:01Hey, Tom.
01:03Hello?
01:04Oh, sorry, man.
01:05I'm miles away.
01:06You good?
01:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:07I've got to.
01:08I've got to get going.
01:09Hi.
01:12Hey!
01:13I'm screwed.
01:13What do you mean?
01:15Molly wants me to learn how to surf
01:17And that's a bad thing?
01:18Yes, he wants me to be good enough to teach lessons or I'm fired
01:22He said that
01:22Pretty much, either I become a surfing expert or I lose my job
01:26Here we go
01:30You know I'm not going to let you ignore what I just said
01:39Right
01:43I said that I was in love with you
01:44Yeah, you did
01:47Now you have zero to say about it?
01:51Because you know the normal thing to do would be to say something back
01:54Well, I'm not normal
01:56It's part of the attraction, right?
01:58Wrong
01:58You seriously have nothing to say to me?
02:01Still?
02:05I'm sorry
02:05Okay, that's a start
02:08It's just I've never been in this
02:11situation
02:13before
02:14Like
02:17No one's ever told you they love you?
02:22No
02:22Except my mom and
02:25and dad
02:27Okay, well
02:32Don't be worried about hearing it too much if this is how you handle it
02:38I just always thought I could count on John's support
02:45Well, Palmer can be a handful at the best of times
02:49Let alone when he's got a bee in his bonnet about something
02:52I just hope he changes his mind on this one
02:56That'll be good
02:57Well, I'm backing you
03:00And Leah's come round to the idea, don't you think?
03:04Yeah, that's what she told me
03:06Well, there you go then
03:07Thanks, Alf
03:08Anyway, enough sitting around feeling sorry for myself
03:14I've got a house to get ready to sell
03:16Righto
03:17I'll get out of your ride
03:18Thanks, love
03:20See ya
03:21See ya later
03:22Thank you for welcoming me home
03:26You know, not necessary, but thank you
03:28Sorry, I wanted to
03:29Well, I'll call you tomorrow
03:32Yeah, you know, well don't
03:34I wouldn't want you to say anything you don't want to say
03:36So, what was that about?
03:52I'd just rather not talk about it, actually
03:55You're not still upset about me putting the house on the market, are you?
03:59No, no, no, no
04:00I've truly got my head around that
04:01Well, then what is it, love?
04:03It's just, you know, sometimes men are the worst
04:06I'm pretty good at dishing out advice
04:09Just saying
04:10And I've given quite a bit of it in this very kitchen
04:14So
04:15I told Sonny that I loved him
04:20And he said nothing in return
04:23How good is it, having a place to ourselves?
04:32Yeah
04:33I bet Abby and Molly are having a lovely time catching up
04:37Hey, while they're not here
04:41Should we talk about the thing we're not really talking about?
04:45I suppose I just, I don't want to jinx it
04:50We have every reason to feel positive right now
04:54You're right
04:56All we need is one mature embryo
04:59If it matures
05:01There might be three of us tomorrow
05:04Oh
05:04You have no idea how good that sounds
05:07Oh, actually, I do
05:08Yeah
05:09There you go
05:15Thank you, I am starving
05:18Dear, well, I should throw in a treat or two
05:22Justin said you look like a demon today
05:25Yeah, it's good to be back
05:27I was happy I might find Palmer here
05:30Ah, he hasn't been in tonight
05:32Hmm, I'll have to catch him later
05:34Are you okay?
05:36He and Irene had a barney
05:38He told her that he couldn't support this decision she's made about the overseas trip
05:42She must be so upset
05:43Hmm, that's putting it mildly
05:45Yeah, well, I'm sure he'll come around eventually
05:48Well, let's hope so
05:49Because it's the last thing Irene needs at the moment
05:51Anyway, I'll catch you later
05:53Irene
05:55I was less than supportive when she told me about the trip too
05:58Yeah, but she knows you're on board now
05:59That's all that matters
06:00I just wish there was something I could do to make it easier for her
06:03Hey, so have you thought any more about the surfing thing?
06:10Can't think of anything else
06:11And?
06:13Well, it's insane, right?
06:14Can't become an instructor
06:15Ah, it's not impossible
06:17How long's Marley given you to get up to speed?
06:20Well, he said he'd hold the fort while I learn
06:22But how long's that going to take?
06:24Months?
06:25Years?
06:26Well, do you want to keep this job?
06:28Yes
06:28Then you've just got to give this thing a go
06:30Plus, I know a pretty good teacher
06:32Come on, I'll give you a lesson first thing tomorrow morning
06:35Hey
06:36Yo, plenty of food up there if you're hungry?
06:39No, I'm alright
06:40I guess you had a rough day with Rem
06:43We saw Bree before she headed to work
06:45And she told us what happened
06:46Yeah, right, yeah
06:48He wasn't exactly a bag of laughs
06:49Yeah, well, you're a good friend
06:50But a dismal boyfriend
06:52What have you done?
06:54Well, it's more like what I haven't done
06:56Alright, you ready?
07:10Starting on the sand, right?
07:11Yes, all beginners do
07:12Okay
07:14Yeah
07:14Don't worry, you'll be getting pitted in no time
07:17Great
07:17I love all my stranding
07:19Okay, moving on
07:21So to surf, you need to get out past the break, right?
07:23Yeah, break, that's a bit of a break
07:25Good
07:26What is that actually again?
07:30So, see where the waves are forming?
07:32And beyond that is flat ocean
07:34You want me that far out?
07:37Well, eventually
07:38To get out there, you need to paddle, right?
07:40So let's start with that
07:41Okay, so you kind of want to be in the middle
07:48Too far forward and the nose will go under
07:51And too far back, the board will sit up and you'll go nowhere
07:54So, move back
07:55Okay, sit
07:56There you go
07:58Alright
07:58Now, pull your arms through the water
08:01I'm like
08:03Yeah, but alternating one arm at a time
08:05There you go
08:06Wait
08:07What if a wave comes?
08:11Great question
08:11Then you duck dive
08:12So, you grab the front of the board
08:14And you push the nose down and under the waves
08:17Here, let me show you
08:18I just realised
08:19I've got to get to work
08:20I thought you didn't start work for another hour
08:22I know, I just
08:23I totally forgot I've got some invoicing to do
08:25Marley's already on my back
08:27So, I should go
08:28Yeah, I don't suppose you've seen Dana around anyway today
08:38Why, you still did her bad books?
08:40Yeah, probably
08:40You want me to tell me why?
08:43She, uh
08:46She told me she loved me
08:48Yesterday
08:49Well, that should be a good thing, right?
08:51Should be, yeah
08:52If I hadn't messed it up
08:53How do you mess that up?
08:57Well, you pretend like you never heard it
09:00Oh, dude
09:01Yeah, I know
09:02I'm an idiot
09:03Okay, well
09:05Let me show you some brekkie
09:06We'll figure out how to fix it, yeah?
09:08Alright
09:08What are you doing?
09:16You don't want to know
09:17I do
09:18More as I wouldn't have asked you
09:20I'm clearing my shifts for next week
09:24Really?
09:25I know, I know
09:26I'm getting ahead of myself
09:27You're manifesting
09:29Exactly
09:31I've been trying to guess how many embryos we have
09:36Okay, how was that?
09:37How many?
09:39Seven
09:40Six, if we're unlike
09:42What time did the clinic say they were going to call with the results?
09:46In about an hour
09:46Okay
09:48Alright, one question
09:53Why didn't you say it back?
09:56Like I said, idiot
09:58Come on, you must know why
10:00Do you not feel the same way?
10:02The thing is
10:03I just
10:04I don't think Dana knows what she signed up for
10:06What do you mean?
10:06I mean
10:07I'm worried that she's expecting me to be something I'm not
10:10Like what?
10:12Like, you know
10:13Mr. Reliable
10:1440 hour a week guy
10:15Dude, I don't think anyone expects that of you
10:18Where is all this doubt coming from?
10:20I thought you guys were solid
10:21I don't know
10:22I was hanging out with Remy yesterday
10:23A lot of things just got me thinking
10:25Remy is the last person
10:26You should be taking relationship advice from right now
10:29That's just it
10:30If someone like Remy can't figure out this love thing
10:32Then what hope do I have?
10:34Well, I don't think you've given yourself enough credit
10:36Well, thanks for saying that
10:38And I don't think you've given Dana enough credit either
10:40G'day
10:50I was wondering how long it'd be before you came and had a go at me
10:54Well, go on, get it over with
10:57We've got a whole heap of new recruitment forms to get through
10:59Irene told me what happened
11:02And I get it, alright?
11:04I know you two are great mates
11:06Yes
11:08Thank you
11:09It's madness
11:11She's selling her home
11:12It's the only security she's got
11:14What happens when she comes back from a trip and she's got nowhere to live?
11:18If that happens, Palmer
11:19We rally around her
11:20Because that's what we do around here
11:22If Irene comes back and lands on my doorstep in a month
11:27Or a year
11:28I'm not going to send her away
11:30And neither are you
11:32She's not thinking about her future
11:34What happens if she goes downhill while she's away?
11:37Or even if she's safe?
11:38We're all worried about the future, Palmer
11:40But at the end of the day, this is what Irene wants
11:43And we should support her
11:44Sorry, I can't
11:48Well, I'm sorry to hear that
11:50Because it'd be a hell of a flaming tragedy
11:53If you walk away from her now
11:56Just when she needs you the most
11:58Why haven't they called?
12:14Is it weird that they haven't called yet?
12:15They will
12:16Oh, it's them
12:19It's the clinic
12:20This is Mackenzie
12:25Yes, yes, thank you for calling
12:29Right, yeah, no, I understand
12:49Uh-huh
12:53I'll, um, talk to my partner
12:55We'll discuss next takes
12:56I've reached out the pool
13:00What are they saying?
13:11None of the embryos matured
13:13I can't believe it
13:19I'm so sorry
13:25Hey, you have nothing to be sorry about
13:29Okay, I thought that I would at least get, like, an apology text or something
13:38But it's just been crickets
13:39Love, maybe he's having a lie-in
13:41Well, maybe he's realised he doesn't love me and he'd like to end things
13:45Yeah, I doubt that very much
13:46I've seen the way he looks at you
13:48Well, then why haven't I heard from him?
13:51Oh, God, it's him
13:54There you go
13:55Oh, he wants to meet up
13:57Well, go on
13:58Go on, see what your fella's got to say for himself
14:00Oh, thanks, love
14:04Oh, thanks, love
14:06Hey, uh, don't forget we've got an inspection later on
14:10Yes, don't worry, my room's spotless
14:11Are you doing open houses already?
14:15Yeah, well, I thought I might as well bite the bullet
14:17Are you sure you're not putting too much pressure on yourself?
14:20Are you in cahoots with John?
14:22No
14:23But you've heard his opinion on things
14:25Yeah, I have
14:26Well, I've got a house to sell and a trip to organise
14:31So that's what I'm focusing on
14:32So how is that going?
14:34Well, it's one thing to say you're going to travel the world
14:37It's a whole other kettle of fish to actually organise it
14:40But hey-ho, first world problem, eh?
14:44Hi, Rain
14:45Surprised to see you after yesterday
14:48Yeah
14:49I've been doing some thinking
14:52Is that right?
14:55You got time for a talk?
14:57For you, John, always
14:59Yeah, come on
15:00Hey
15:10Hello
15:10Yeah, I wasn't even sure you'd agree to meet
15:15Well
15:17I'm here
15:19I know I messed up yesterday
15:21And, uh, I'm sorry for that
15:25Thank you
15:27Apology accepted
15:27I guess I should explain why I froze up yesterday
15:47And you, uh, said, you know, the thing
15:53You don't need to explain
15:54I don't?
15:55No
15:56You don't feel the same way that I do
15:58Maybe one day you will
16:00And that's great
16:01And then maybe you won't
16:02And that's also, you know, fine
16:04And I will be fine either way
16:06That's not it
16:07It's
16:07I froze up because
16:10I couldn't believe
16:12Still can't believe
16:15That someone as incredible as you
16:18Would be in love with me
16:19That's silly
16:23Does it?
16:26I don't know
16:27Not exactly boyfriend material
16:28Okay, well then I'm confused
16:29Because I think of you as my boyfriend
16:31Okay, that's not what I meant
16:32You know that
16:32No
16:32What do you mean?
16:33I mean, I'm not going to live the, you know
16:35The typical life
16:36White picket fence
16:36Nine to five and all that
16:37I mean, yeah, obviously
16:39Like, when I met you
16:41You were beaten up
16:42And actually required
16:43Personal bodyguards
16:44Like, need I go on?
16:46No, please don't
16:47If I wanted to date
16:49Mr. Corpora Guy
16:50Or Mr. Doctor Guy
16:51I would
16:52I don't want them
16:54I want you
16:57I love you
17:00I love you
17:04I love you too
17:06Yeah
17:08Yeah
17:38Sorry about this morning
18:05I think the pressure
18:06Just got to me
18:08Oh, babe, don't worry
18:09I'm going to get the hang of this
18:10Surfing thing in no time
18:11How can you be so sure?
18:13Well, because you've got a great coach, huh?
18:16Well, as long as I keep smiling off my back
18:18Exactly
18:19And you just let me know
18:20When you want another lesson
18:20I'm going to order a coffee
18:24Do you want anything else?
18:25Nah, I'm good, thanks
18:26Though, I know you're coming
18:28From a place of concern
18:30But it's not like I'm traipsing off into the wilderness
18:34With a backpack over my shoulder
18:35I doubt my knees would cope anyway
18:38You're not alone, are you?
18:40I've been looking into some guided tours
18:43With people around to keep an eye out for me
18:45And then, ideally, I'll be able to catch up
18:48With some old mates along the way
18:50Once the house is sold
18:52I'll have enough money to travel
18:54And then enough to put some away
18:57For my future care
18:59That's smart, yeah
19:01But, love, all of that aside
19:04I want you to be excited for me
19:08I want you to be proud of me
19:10For taking this next big step
19:12But I am, I truly am
19:14You know, when I was diagnosed
19:16I promised myself
19:18I wouldn't take a single day for granted
19:22And this trip is part of that
19:25John, I want to do so much more
19:29With whatever time I've got left
19:31And you should have that chance
19:33Thank you
19:34I'm alright
20:01It doesn't look that way
20:03I'm just having a moment
20:06She is your best friend
20:10Of course it's going to be tough
20:12Yeah
20:13Ever since the diagnosis
20:15It's been one hurdle after the other
20:17Scared for her
20:19Like John is
20:21I get it
20:23But I also get what Irene's saying too
20:28She's not going to go down without a fight
20:31It's a rock star move
20:35If you ask me
20:35It's stubborn to the core
20:38Is what it is
20:39What she said about
20:44Not taking a day for granted
20:47You know, that's
20:48That is one of the most inspiring things
20:50I've heard
20:51She's the bravest woman I know
20:54You know we can't stay where we are for much longer
21:12Lucky for you, I just saw the perfect place listed online
21:14What the hell are you doing?
21:20I'm so sorry
21:21What is it about this woman that's got you so riled?
21:24She went on a date with Tana
21:26It's just weird
21:26She gets him and my bedroom
21:28Oh my god
21:29Hi
21:30Really good, isn't it?
21:31Yeah
21:32Oh, I'm a nurse
