00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08Put an offering on Irene's place.
00:10It's a real home and good to have one of those again.
00:13If she accepts it, we've got six weeks to find a place, get approved and move.
00:18I'm assuming Irene's accepted.
00:19Looks like I just bought a house.
00:21Hey, congratulations, mate.
00:23What went wrong yesterday?
00:25He was mean about mum. He called her a liar.
00:27He blamed her for not being able to see me all this time.
00:30It might be worthwhile giving Adrian a second chance.
00:33I don't think Colin feels comfortable with that.
00:35One bad conversation doesn't mean we give up.
00:38If we did that every time our kids rejected us, we'd never see them again.
00:42You can't be here.
00:43I just want to talk to my son.
00:44He doesn't want to see you.
00:45He can tell me that himself.
00:46Listen, you can't come in here.
00:47Listen, you can't come in here.
00:48I have a right to see my son.
00:49If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.
00:51Adrian has a right to spend time with his son.
00:53Yeah, he was given that opportunity and he blew it.
00:55If you continue to run interference, I will be forced to report it.
00:58And then the department will find alternative foster placement for Cohen.
01:03Come on, let's move, people. Good work.
01:05Push yourself. You're almost there.
01:08Woo-hoo-hoo.
01:09Great class. Everyone give yourselves a flat.
01:11Pat on the back.
01:12Take some water and we'll see you next time, yeah?
01:15Thanks, Father.
01:16Wonderful.
01:17Alright.
01:18Glad you came today.
01:22Oh, my body isn't.
01:24Are you sure it hates me right now?
01:26I'm in after what happened with Papa.
01:28Look, I don't want you to feel like you need to be careful about which classes you take.
01:32Really?
01:33It was pretty awkward last time.
01:35Point is, you're both welcome here.
01:37Okay?
01:38How can I argue with that face?
01:41G'day.
01:42Hey, Sarge.
01:43Are you here to sign up for boot camp?
01:44What are you saying?
01:45I'll get enough action at work.
01:46I'm here to share some news with Jo.
01:47The house?
01:48Our house.
01:49Oh, my gosh.
01:50Offer accepted.
01:51Oh, my gosh.
01:52I'm so happy.
01:53That's great news.
01:54Yeah, yeah.
01:55I'm sorry this makes things hard for Archie.
01:56No, look.
01:57You're allowed to be happy.
01:58Just...
01:59Congratulations.
02:00Thanks.
02:01So, you want to celebrate?
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah.
02:04I'll see you later.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Yeah, I understand that, but what happens if I don't agree with the caseworker?
02:09Yeah.
02:10Right on.
02:11Right on.
02:12Right on.
02:13Right on.
02:14Right on.
02:15Right on.
02:16Right on.
02:17Right on.
02:18Right on.
02:19Right on.
02:20Right on.
02:21Right on.
02:22Right on.
02:23Right on.
02:24Right on.
02:25Right on.
02:26Right on.
02:27Right on.
02:28Right on.
02:29I see.
02:30What they say goes.
02:31I understand.
02:36Hi.
02:37Where's Cohen?
02:38He's with Marilyn.
02:39I wanted to talk to you.
02:41What was that about?
02:43Um, Harper has threatened to move Cohen to another placement.
02:46Why?
02:47Because apparently I need to start supporting Adrian's interests.
02:51Is that something that...
02:52Just...
02:53Just a minute.
02:54I've had a yarn to Cohen.
02:57He told me what happened with his dad.
03:03Oh, it's a little early for me.
03:05Oh!
03:06Live a little.
03:07It's not every day you buy a house.
03:10I'll stick with the coffee.
03:13So boring.
03:15You do realise this is only step one.
03:19We're weeks away from settlement and moving in.
03:22I'm already living there in my mind.
03:24The space.
03:25The view.
03:26The coastal breeze.
03:28I just wish Mum was here to share it with us.
03:30Me too.
03:31Yeah.
03:35Who knows?
03:36Maybe Lacey will pitch in.
03:39You're actually going to ask Lacey to move in.
03:42I am.
03:44Are you sure I already know what her answer's going to be?
03:46I just need to find the right time and place.
03:50And wear a bulletproof vest.
03:54You sure I can't interest you in one of our waterproof watches?
03:57It'll go with your smile.
03:59If I'm out swimming, why would I need to keep track of time?
04:01Well, it might help you to know when happy hour's starting.
04:03Lucky for me.
04:04I've got a six cents for when half price drinks are already.
04:08Today, the priority is sunbathing.
04:10Dana and I have some catching up to do, actually.
04:11Isn't that right, Dana?
04:12Yes, it is.
04:13But I also can't lay around all day
04:14because I have to start house hunting sooner or later.
04:16I choose later.
04:17Yeah, of course you do.
04:18Hey, Dana.
04:19Hey.
04:20Hey, I heard about Irene's place.
04:21How are you and Harper holding up?
04:22Oh, yeah.
04:23I'd say on a scale of one to ten, probably a minus two.
04:26So anything I can do?
04:27You can build me a house.
04:28Is it a second option?
04:29No.
04:30But also, you've already offered to help.
04:31And thank you for offering your place to Harper and Archie.
04:34Yeah, well, it didn't exactly go down well.
04:36I know.
04:37But also, it's a very big idea.
04:38It might take my sister a little while to get used to it.
04:41It was good change.
04:43Yeah.
04:44I'll see you around.
04:45Okay.
04:47I mean, you can't actually think that Harper's going to change your mind about it.
04:50No.
04:51But also, I think it's nice that he offered it.
04:53Nice or crazy?
04:54I mean, I wouldn't want to be sharing a place with my ex.
04:57Yeah, but he cares about her.
04:59I think that's lovely.
05:04Hey.
05:07Why are you asking Dana to move in?
05:10Come again?
05:11Oh, my God, you can't be that clueless.
05:12Did you seriously not just notice any of those hints that she was giving you?
05:15Okay, thanks, Maz.
05:18I'll come and have a chat to him.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Okay.
05:24Bye.
05:25Hey.
05:26Hey.
05:27Well, if you're here to see Archie, he's asleep.
05:28No, actually, I'm here to see you.
05:30I heard Irene's accepted an offer on the house.
05:33Oh, my little sister and her big mouth.
05:36It doesn't matter who told me.
05:37It's just...
05:38I want to know what your plan is.
05:39Well, you don't have to worry about my plan.
05:41You don't have a lot of time now.
05:43So if there's anything you want to talk through...
05:45Okay, stop.
05:46We've been through this.
05:48Yeah, me finding a place, it's not your business.
05:50We have been through this.
05:52Aunty's home is your home.
05:53So, I want to take care of both of you.
05:56And I want you to trust me when I say I will figure it out.
06:06No one likes to hear their mother's a liar.
06:08Fair enough.
06:09That probably wasn't his smartest move.
06:11No, it wasn't.
06:12I told him very clearly how much Cohen loves his mum.
06:15It was a very inconsiderate thing for him to say.
06:17Oh, come off it, Rue.
06:19The bloke missed years of the boy's life.
06:21All because of that woman.
06:22He was just trying to explain where he'd been.
06:24But it doesn't change the fact that Cohen doesn't want to see him.
06:27He said the wrong thing, that's all he did.
06:30Surely we can agree to give him another shot.
06:33You don't trash talk the mother that's raised his son.
06:35That woman's done nothing but try and keep him away from his son.
06:38That is between Adrian and Samantha.
06:40You don't bring Cohen into it.
06:41What kind of father does that?
06:42A brand new one.
06:43Well, I don't know him and I don't trust him.
06:45The bloke's had about a minute and a half
06:47to get used to being a new father.
06:51Don't you think he deserves another go?
07:03Oh, hey.
07:04Hey.
07:05How is he?
07:06Oh, he's barely said a word.
07:07I was hoping he might be able to get something out of here.
07:10Mm-mm.
07:15Hey, Colin.
07:16Hey.
07:17Maz said you had some questions.
07:20How can I help?
07:25I'm all about to tell my dad.
07:27Okay.
07:28What were you thinking?
07:30Mr. Stewart reckons he didn't mean to upset me.
07:32Oh, Mr. Stewart makes a lot of sense.
07:35What would you do?
07:38I would probably give him a second chance.
07:41But it's not my decision to make.
07:44I think that you should take some more time to think about it.
07:48And remember that you don't have to be alone with him.
07:50I can be there with you.
07:52When you're ready, you let me know what you want to do.
07:56Okay?
07:57Yeah.
07:58Morning.
07:59Hey.
08:00What can I get you?
08:01Um, a big coffee, please.
08:02I had a glass of champagne with breakfast, which I'm now regretting.
08:03Are you celebrating something?
08:04Dad's offer was accepted on the beach house.
08:05Oh, congratulations.
08:06That's lovely.
08:07And how nice for Irene to know that you guys are taking over her house and leaving it in
08:08safe hands.
08:09Of course that's you.
08:10Hey.
08:11I feel pretty guilty.
08:12I mean, I'm the reason you're about to be homeless.
08:13Um, not that you're going to be homeless.
08:14But, you know, house hunting, maybe.
08:15You know, I've not imagined.
08:16But I've learnt some really great tips and tricks.
08:17You know, new listings always come from home.
08:18You know.
08:19Yeah.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Yeah.
08:24Yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Really great tips and tricks.
08:40You know, new listings always come on a Wednesday.
08:42Never act too keen at an inspection.
08:44And I'm happy to share which local agents are Brutal Snakes.
08:49I'm good.
08:50If you ever need a hand, just give me a shout.
08:53Sure.
08:54I'll see you around.
09:09Everything is so expensive.
09:18Landlords are scum.
09:20You're lucky I have to deal with Brie.
09:22Brie can actually be really mean.
09:25How is Brie mean?
09:27She hates mess and noise and personality.
09:32And you, Dana, definitely have personality.
09:34Yes, I do.
09:35I wish I could exchange all of that personality for a house.
09:38Yeah.
09:40Yeah.
09:41You are so useless.
09:42I mean, what is the point of having a handsome boyfriend?
09:45You can't solve all my problems.
09:50Hey, Lace.
09:53Um, I just wanted you to know that I bought a house in the area.
09:59Congratulations.
10:02It's a big place.
10:05So there's a bedroom for you.
10:08And Jo?
10:10It's her home too.
10:11Well, then you know what my answer is.
10:13I don't really know why you bothered asking.
10:15I'm always going to bother.
10:22Well, it shouldn't be too hard to find me if you change your mind.
10:25She had this baby photo of me in his wallet.
10:26Oh, did he?
10:27Baby photo of you, I'd love to see that.
10:28If you kept it all this time, that means Dad probably thought about me, right?
10:29I'm sure I never stopped thinking about you, darling.
10:30How are you two going?
10:31Oh, good.
10:32Good.
10:33Yes, he's a very good helper.
10:34Come on, sit down.
10:35We're just going to have a little chat, okay?
10:36There you go.
10:37Listen.
10:38Dad told me what Adrian said to upset you.
10:39Okay?
10:40And I'm really sorry.
10:41But I have been thinking that maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
10:44Well, you kicked him out.
10:45Yeah, I did.
10:46I was pretty upset.
10:47But I don't want you to miss out on anything.
10:49You know, everyone works so hard to find your family.
10:51That's right.
10:52I don't want you to miss out on anything.
10:53Why?
10:54I've never been able to do that.
10:55So, we're going to come to us.
10:56Let's go.
10:57We're going to get a little chat, okay?
10:58There you go.
10:59Listen.
11:00Dad told me what Adrian said to upset you.
11:01Okay?
11:02And I'm really sorry.
11:03But I have been thinking that maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
11:04Boy, you kicked him out.
11:05Yeah.
11:06I did.
11:07I was pretty upset.
11:08But I don't want you to miss out on anything.
11:11You know, everyone works so hard to find your family.
11:13Let's not just throw that away.
11:16So you want me to forget what he said?
11:18Well, I don't think he has a right to criticise your mum.
11:22But I think he was probably trying to explain why he hasn't been around.
11:26He didn't want you to think he'd abandoned you.
11:30I guess.
11:32I should give him a second chance, shouldn't I?
11:35Yeah.
11:36I reckon.
11:41Hey.
11:42You got your text, what's up?
11:43Hey, does something have to be up?
11:45I just need you to look after Archie.
11:46Sure, I'll go.
11:47I've got a rental inspection and the agent's opening it just for me and I'm already late.
11:50But you know you don't have to do this.
11:52Go to inspections, yeah, I do.
11:53Yeah, but why go through all the trouble when there's a perfectly good room at my place?
11:56It's a simple solution, huh?
11:57There is nothing simple about it.
11:59By the way, thanks for the heads up that Joe bought Irene's place.
12:04Yeah, that's what I thought.
12:06Hey.
12:09I hope you're not going to be as stubborn as your mum when you grow up with.
12:11I hope you're not going to be as stubborn as your mum when you grow up with your mum when you grow up with your mum when you grow up with your mum when you grow up with your mum.
12:17Oh, any idea what the place is like?
12:20No, but she's going to link.
12:22Oh, it's super affordable.
12:24Great.
12:24Well, fingers crossed this solves things.
12:26I mean, it's basically a one bedroom.
12:28She's got me in the sunroom.
12:30It's unbelievable.
12:31It's a human oven.
12:32You definitely won't be staying over.
12:34I guess we'll just be at your place 24-7.
12:37Oh.
12:37What?
12:39I was joking.
12:41Yeah, you say that, but you're not really.
12:44Listen, I love you, and I said that, and I do, and I mean it, but this is just too soon.
12:50What is?
12:51Us.
12:53Living together.
12:54When did that come up?
12:55You've been dropping in for me to ask you to move in all morning.
13:01Haven't you?
13:02No.
13:04The only person that I want to live with is my sister.
13:07But thank you for clarifying.
13:09I mean, it is wonderful to know that you are allergic to the idea of us living together.
13:13Oh, no, it's started.
13:26It's just ideas.
13:28How much is this interior designing going to cost me?
13:31You'll be so happy at my perfectly curated space, you won't even care.
13:35All it needs is a lick of paint.
13:36We'll see.
13:38Remember when you made Lacey and I share a room?
13:41Yeah.
13:41Lacey wanted pink walls, and you insisted on Harry Potter wall, babe.
13:46Life was so simple back then.
13:48That was an argument you could solve.
13:50Hmm.
13:51Sorry she doesn't want to come live with us.
13:53Sad, but expected.
13:57Oh, wow.
13:59What is it?
14:00It's a listing.
14:01We just bought a house.
14:03I think it's a rental.
14:05I figured since we're the reason Harper's moving, I should help her find a new place.
14:09That's very kind of you.
14:11Do you mind?
14:12Go for it.
14:18Hey, mate.
14:19How's it going?
14:19Hey.
14:20Uh, I'll get back to you on that.
14:23Who's asked to meet me?
14:26I'll leave you to it.
14:27Hi.
14:28Hi.
14:30Hi.
14:31Thanks for meeting me.
14:35Look, I'm really sorry about how I spoke to you yesterday.
14:38I did show up unannounced.
14:40And I know I stuffed up with Colin yesterday.
14:41I didn't mean to upset him.
14:45Yeah, I know that.
14:47And he knows that.
14:48And he wants to give you another chance.
14:52Really?
14:52Yeah.
14:53Oh, you have no idea how much that means to me.
14:58When you spend time with Colin, please try not to bring your issues into it.
15:06And I know that might be hard, right?
15:08But he deserves to come first.
15:11Don't you think?
15:13Yeah.
15:13It was an epic fail.
15:18Yeah.
15:18Well, I could have told you that.
15:20Next time, consult me and I'll save you the script.
15:21Yeah, but it was the best listing by far.
15:23At least the place had a dishwasher.
15:25Oh, you need to write this down.
15:27I want a bedroom, not a sunroom.
15:29Sweetie attitude.
15:30It's not an attitude.
15:31I just don't want to sleep in a sunroom.
15:32I'm not a lizard.
15:34Also, Sonny said he didn't want to live with me.
15:37Did you ask to move in?
15:38No, I didn't.
15:40Well, then what?
15:41What?
15:42Yeah, exactly.
15:43Oh.
15:44Hey.
15:47Hi.
15:48Oh, see you.
15:49Goodbye.
15:50Bye.
15:54Hey.
15:55I know you said you'd let me know if you needed a hand at all, but...
15:59Yet here you are.
16:01Well, I got a hot tip on a really good rental and I wanted to pass it on.
16:05Are you serious?
16:07Yeah.
16:09Do you do this kind of thing a lot?
16:11Stick your nose in where it doesn't belong?
16:15Tane's been really worried about you and Archie not having somewhere to live.
16:19Tane's been talking to you about me.
16:21No, not like that.
16:22Yeah, okay.
16:23For the last time, I don't need your help.
16:27What I need is for you to get the hell out of my house because you don't own it yet.
16:31You've never played touch footing ever.
16:40No, I can't say that I have.
16:42You have no idea what you're missing out on.
16:44Well, I'll have to take your word for that, yeah?
16:47I know I'm new at this.
16:49I want to be better.
16:50I know.
16:51I won't let him down.
16:56Hey, mate.
16:58Hey.
16:58Thanks for agreeing to meet up.
16:59I, um, I wanted to apologise for what I said about your mum.
17:07I let my feelings get the better of me.
17:12Is it true that she lied to you about being my dad?
17:16I think what she said was more about me than it was about you.
17:25Right.
17:27Want to go for a walk?
17:29Sure.
17:42Progress.
17:44It is.
17:46You all right?
17:49Yeah.
17:55Hey, how'd the inspection go?
17:56It was a waste of time.
17:58Listen, maybe there's something else I can do to help Paul.
18:00You want to help?
18:01Tell your girlfriend to back off.
18:02What are you talking about?
18:03Why does Jo think that she has a right to come over to my house?
18:06I don't know anything about that.
18:07You've clearly been talking to her about my situation, how pathetic and homeless I am.
18:11Well, I didn't say that at all.
18:13Do you know what?
18:14I don't care.
18:14Just tell her to stay away from me.
18:15I don't want her in my face.
18:18I don't want her in my home and I do not want her in my life.
18:21There's a weight on my shoulder.
18:30Yo!
18:32Oh, do you need a minute?
18:33Oh, it's nothing.
18:36You okay, mate?
18:39Dad bought a new house.
18:41Right.
18:41You just got me thinking about my old house and memories, you know?
18:50You want half a sandwich?
18:51I don't think that's going to help.
18:52I don't think that's going to help.
18:57I know the feeling.
18:58Yeah.
18:59I, uh...
19:00Sometimes I really miss the house I grew up in.
19:04Created a lot of good memories of my family.
19:06Um, but then I feel lucky, you know, that I'm here and this is a home and a family as well.
19:15Thanks.
19:16Yeah.
19:16Oh, by the way, uh, I'm never listening to you again.
19:22What did I do?
19:23You told me Dana was dropping hints.
19:25She was.
19:26She wasn't.
19:27She doesn't want to live with me.
19:29No, I made a proper fool of myself and I blame you.
19:32Oh, no.
19:32What is it now?
19:40Marley wants to know how my lessons are going.
19:42And?
19:44Well, I haven't exactly done any.
19:46Do you have been too busy?
19:48No.
19:50I just don't think I like surfing.
19:58Hey.
19:59Sorry I kept you waiting.
20:00When I got your message, I figured I should change.
20:04Sit down, Jo.
20:05I need to talk to you.
20:10Right.
20:12This isn't a date, is it?
20:16No.
20:18Let me guess.
20:19Harper.
20:20What did you do?
20:21I offered to help with house hunting.
20:24Okay.
20:25Why?
20:26Trying to make her life easier.
20:28We had a tip on a rental.
20:30She bit my head off.
20:32Why would you think that was a good idea?
20:34I'm the reason she's losing her house.
20:36The least I can do is help.
20:38All it's doing is making her angry.
20:41Okay.
20:42Sorry.
20:43I was just trying to help.
20:44You need to think about how this looks, okay?
20:46She sees you with me, at the gym, with Archie.
20:50And then she finds out you're moving into her place.
20:53Okay, well, what can I do?
20:55There has to be a way to fix it.
20:56There's no fixing for you to do.
20:58Just stay away from it.
20:59I'll just think of this if you see it.
21:10Do you know what I think, Tane?
21:12I think you and Harper have a lot of unfinished business.
21:15Oh, that is not true.
21:16Are you sure?
21:17You can't expect Joe to wait around for you to decide if you're available.
21:21Now we're both left in the dark, because we'll never know what could have been.
21:24Well, don't do anything stupid.
21:26Ah, no promises.
21:27No.
21:28Hey.
21:29I know you said we can't do this anymore.
21:31Bye.
