The anniversary party is a few weeks away.

If you want people to show up, you have to grab the headlines.

All I've ever wanted is to find out

what happened to my parents.

We're at capacity.

She's anaphylactic. Anything with nuts in it.

Is she the one?

I think I've always loved you, Sophie.

Go back to your wife!

Ron offered to buy the house.

Have you ever dreamed

of a luxury private estate?

It's Ollie.

Something's wrong, I know it is.

Come on, we need to go. I got you.

This is the most thoughtful thing

anyone has ever done for me.

I hope it's not.

That one's a beauty. Taken with love.

You know what I don't see in here? Rose.

She must have been the one taking them.

There aren't endless opportunities

for happiness in this world.

Should we have a drink?

You can tell me about Alice

and Jack.

♪ Down by the river by the boat ♪

♪ Where everybody goes to be alone ♪

♪ Where you won't see any rising sun ♪

♪ Down to the river we will run ♪

♪ Oh my God I see down by the riverside ♪

You have to understand that women had no power.

Finch fired Alice for daring to reject him.

What am I going to do?

There's a shack, on our island.

You could stay there.

Be careful.

It's perfect.

I could practise my singing and no one would hear me.

Since the war, our dad's afraid of Russians.

She doesn't have to speak to him. I can be the go-between.

Well, he is not going to rent it to a single woman, anyway.

Um...

It was my mother's wedding ring.

Now I have husband.

It started with a lie to our dad,

and it, it went from there.

Her husband Jack's away,

working on the mainland, so we won't see much of him.

They've paid a months rent, Dad.

What are you doing in there?

Look at you.

I thought a few Jack sightings might help -

from a distance.

Jack is handsome, but he needs a beer.

I was completely infatuated.

I'd never come across anyone as exciting as Alice.

Never have again.

Yeah, well, I guess it was more complicated back then.

There's a lot in life that's complicated and painful.

But when I look back - not that.

A couple of hours, couple of days with a person you love...

That goes beyond the reach of any opinion.

What about you - your friend?

Are you scared?

No, I... I just panicked.

Messed it up.

I just, I think maybe I don't know how to be happy.

That sounds like bullshit to me.

You're a big girl. Go and figure it out.

- Hey. - Hey.

They're going to release Ollie in the morning.

He's doing much better.

Oh, good. That's, that's great.

Yeah, but it's weird. I can't...

We... I can't find Grace anywhere.

Callum arrived and I took him in to see Ollie,

but she was gone.

You haven't seen her have you?

No! Well, I mean, I, I'm sure she'll show up somewhere.

Hmm...

Soph, I have to call you back. I'll, I'll talk to you later.

Welcome to Scribbly Gum Estates.

Have you ever dreamed of investing

in a luxury private estate?

A slice of paradise.

Only 40 minutes from the City of Sydney,

you will find spectacular homes in all configurations.

World class restaurants, an aquatic centre...

I can't watch it again.

He's greedy. Always has been.

He spends thousands on himself

and I get in trouble if I don't buy discount.

Yes, he's a monster,

but right now we just, we have to focus on stopping him.

Stop him! I'm going to kill him!

I am going to cut him up

and put him in the crab pots up and down the river.

Here, drink.

I never thought I'd find myself

wishing it was an affair he was having.

This is a much bigger betrayal.

Okay, but you can't tell him that we know.

Margie!

Push it down to your toes.

Can you do that just until we figure out what to do?

Push it down to you toes...

Morning...

Should we try Grace again?

He's asleep.

- I'm sorry. - Got to get him up to the house.

Grace?

Hey...

The doctors said you didn't do anything wrong.

There's RSV everywhere, apparently.

There would be antibodies if I was breastfeeding.

Well, they didn't say anything about that.

I do think they were wondering why you left though.

I wasn't feeling well.

Yeah, I thought I'd make him worse.

If it was a different bug or...

Sure...

Who's that from?

My teacher - about an assignment.

Why did Enigma call it "photography class"?

I have no idea.

Is there something you'd like to share with me, Margie?

I am not just some 1950s housewife with no life.

I've never treated you like a fifties housewife.

What?

I don't expect you to make my sandwiches.

You haven't made a sandwich in 33 years.

Well, don't rewrite history. You like making them.

I do not like making your sandwiches.

I do not like your dirty Q-tips out on the sink.

Your breath.

What do you think all that fish oil you take smells like.

So I should stop breathing. I'll stop breathing then, goodo.

I don't like tiptoeing and pandering

and existing less and less.

They do say that menopause brings out the bitchiness.

It's time for the truth.

Oh, don't you start - not after you sneaking into Sophie's bed.

- What? Who told you that? - Veronika.

Well, haven't you been having a thing

with the photography teacher?

- Where did you get that idea? - Veronika.

So it's true?

And you knew?

How could you keep this secret from your own father?

I kept it secret from Mum

that you made me buy strong weed for you,

which ended up being for Rose,

and almost got her kicked off the island.

I demand to know the truth.

The truth is that Deborrah kicked me out

because I called her the wrong name during sex.

- What name? - Doesn't matter what name.

Sophie!

We're on the way to Margie's. Come.

Did Ron proposition you about buying Connie's house?

- Yeah. - You cannot sell it to him.

You've got to promise on your life.

Hostile takeover.

Hey guys, how do you think Grace is doing?

She seems really disconnected.

I mean, she's just had a newborn. You have to disconnect.

It's the only way to survive because it's hell.

And every minute watching the clock until they're asleep,

and then you try to sleep,

and you just sleep while the baby sleeps.

Sleep while the baby sleeps!

But you're still watching the clock.

Now every minute, a minute closer to them waking up,

and then guess what? You're in hell again.

Grace will be fine.

She just has to figure out how to get on with things.

- Everything I do! - That's Ron.

What is he doing?

He's heading for the shack. Come on!

Shortcut.

Ron!

Ron! What are you doing? Ron!

Ron! Ron!

Are you out of your mind? What is wrong with you?

- It's my house. - It is not your house.

What's he doing?

- Margie? - Oh, he's unhinged.

It's running at a loss. It's mine. My money.

It is not your money. It's our money.

There is no our! You're fucking the photographer.

That has nothing to do with it.

So you are her fucking him?

Get back!

You're fucking us!

We know you're trying to sell the island out from under us.

Think I'll need stitches?

What's the grand plan?

Can we talk about this later?

You buy Connie's house from Sophie,

shuffle Rose off to a retirement village.

I might have a concussion, Margie.

Bankrupt the business.

The business was doing that all by itself.

And what about Enigma's house?

You can't sell the island without selling all of it.

Enigma would sell to a developer

if the offer was right.

She's an idiot, but not stupid.

And our house?

Were you going to give me any say?

I was doing it for us?

I was!

So we could get away.

Start a new life.

Southeast Asia, Indonesia...

We buy land, a big house with staff - grow avocados.

And no family and no one taking, taking -

just us, like it used to be.

All done.

I'm so glad you guys are here.

So where is he, your dream man?

God - can of fucking worms, let me tell you.

Sophie!

Grace! Hey...

These are my lovely friends. Guys, this is Grace.

Hey...

Can I talk to you?

- Ahh... - Careful! Not so fast, please.

You told my mum I was struggling.

Shit, um...

I'm sorry. I just, I've just had friends

who've had postnatal depression.

I don't have that.

If... I'm odd...

It's guilt.

Fuck...

Please don't hate me.

I know that you and Zeke were just, were just casual, but...

He and I do this...

We circle each other.

It started when we were teenagers

and maybe it feels different this time.

Like it could be real. I don't know.

I just, I don't want to keep lying.

What are you thinking?

Callum's going to be destroyed.

I don't think he will be.

The truth is...

..he's a perfect human, and I'm not.

And he deserves better.

And I think with the right person...

..he'll move on pretty quick.

Welcome ladies, gentlemen and kids,

to the Baby Munro Mystery Anniversary.

It's set to be the biggest one yet.

What time you wanna eat?

Baby Munro, Enigma herself,

will be doing signings at the big tent.

I think you're good.

Grace!

You'll have to take the pram. I'm about to go on stage.

Okay, I'll put him in the harness.

I bought him a little hat, but he doesn't like it.

Sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

Oh, by the way, I um...

I found these sleeping pills in the bathroom drawer.

Okay, these things make you feel like you're depressed

when you're not - like you're hungover all the time.

You don't need them.

Why don't you bring him over so he can watch me?

Hello, Scribbly Gum Island!

Every year we come together and celebrate the day

I was discovered as an infant by two incredible women,

one of whom is sadly no longer with us.

So on this very special anniversary,

I would like to dedicate this song

to the wonderful Connie Doughty.

Whoo!

♪ For all those times you stood by me ♪

♪ For all the truth that you made me see ♪

♪ For all the joy you brought to my life ♪

Dad!

I don't think you've met my girlfriend.

Audrey, hi...

Who's that with Mum? Is that him?

My girlfriend, Dad!

Well I think it's poor form

flaunting him right in front of my face.

My lesbian lover.

You know, you don't have to come out all at once.

♪ You were my voice when I couldn't speak ♪

♪ You were my eyes when I couldn't see ♪

♪ You saw the best there was in me ♪

♪ Lifted me up when I couldn't reach ♪

♪ You gave me faith 'cause you believed... ♪

Hey, Sophie.

Nice to see you again.

Ian, hi...

Oh, this is Kaitlyn, my daughter.

Hey Kaitlyn. You're a panda.

Um, I'm actually meant to be meeting Margie.

- Have you seen her around? - Ah, yes...

I know she was up at the museum with her photo exhibition.

- Oh great. - Good to see you.

Hey...

What do you think about Grandma crushing it on stage, huh?

I wonder if he's old enough for those little earmuff things.

Did you speak to Sophie?

About what?

She um...

She saw me and Zeke.

I thought she might have run and told you.

When?

When Ollie was in hospital.

That's where I was.

You turned your phone off.

Where?

His boat.

- We're back on, Callum. - Yeah...

Why?

I don't know...

And now put your hands together

for Callum Tidyman!

He's actually married into the island and he can sing,

so we're very happy to keep him.

♪ I wanna love you Every day and every night ♪

Two please.

the Island business, he can't claim anything

that contributes to that business,

so the houses and the land.

Kaitlyn, please! Could you...

What is this?

What's the lawyer doing here?

Take it easy.

And him!?

Just in time, darling.

We're almost done.

We're starting a new life like you wanted.

Only, different...

Hey...

You were right.

I should have emailed you.

You should join me.

Do you think we'd be married with babies by now?

This is wrong.

She thinks you're perfect, Callum.

She feels like a failure.

She's so lost.

If she felt that way, she could've told me,

and not fucked someone else!

Did you ask her?

Did you ever really ask her?

Maybe you didn't want to know.

I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

We need Margie to run the numbers,

but I'm calling it our biggest one yet.

Lots of fresh interest in the mystery.

Grace was going to come back.

Oh, she went to put the baby down.

She can't leave him alone.

Why don't we go and give her a hand?

Okay.

- How are you doing? - Hey.

Testing! Hello! Hello!

- You all good? - Yeah.

Um, Scribbly Gum Island. Just testing...

May I have your attention.

I really tried to make things work

for Thomas and I for the sake of Lily.

But his obsession with Sophie Honeywell

has made that impossible.

I found a folder on his phone

full of pics from her social media

and he just confessed to me that he spent a night in her bed.

That was, that was against my will.

I mean, he said they were just spooning, but...

Sophie! Sophie!

You think if you can make yourself indispensable,

you will become a part of this family.

But all you are doing is wrecking everything.

You should also know that he was the one

who wrote the P.S. on Connie's letter.

Check the handwriting.

Your mystery man - is my husband!

I need to get off this island.

Grace!

Grace!

- Grace! - Grace!

Check the nursery.

Grace!

Ollie's asleep. No Grace.

Grace!

She's left a note.

- Grace!? - Grace!

Grace!

Where would she go?

Where would she go?

If she was going to do something really stupid?

Where would she go?

Mystery Beach. Mystery Beach!

Stay with the baby!

Grace!

Grace!

Grace!

Grace!

Grace!?

Grace...

Oh God...

I'm here, baby. I'm here, darling.

Come on... Come on...

Breathe, baby. Come on, come on.

Come on, darling. Breathe!

Alright...

One, two, three, four, five, six...

Come on. Come on, Grace. Breathe for me, darling.

Come on, baby.

Come on, Grace. Come on, darling.

Come on. Breathe for me! Please, darling.

Breathe for Mamma.

Fucking breathe!

Yes, yes, yes. Come on.

Good girl, Grace. That's the way. Good girl.

Oh, God!

Oh, God, good girl. Thank you.

Thank you.

It wasn't intentional.

You didn't have an EpiPen.

Well, lucky you had one.

I always have one.

You won't remember this, but when you were about 11,

you threatened me with a peanut brittle.

I was 12, and it was a Summer Roll.

It was a peanut brittle.

I had a Pen in my bag that day.

I always have a Pen.

How did you know - tonight?

I didn't.

It was Rose.

You know I felt like I was drowning when I had your mother.

When you had my mother?

Go on.

He, um...

That man...

He attacked me for stealing a dress.

Alice had an audition and I stole it for her.

But really he attacked me for stealing Alice.

Connie found out soon enough, of course.

She kept me away from our dad.

Made me dress in loose clothes,

and then, your mother was coming.

Something was wrong...

Everything was wrong...

There's too much blood.

Get a doctor. The mainland, go now!

- But the storm. - Take the boat.

Alice go!

She never came back.

Dad! We found something at Alice and Jack's!

I couldn't pull myself out of it -

out of the grief.

It washed up.

It's Alice and Jack's.

No chance anyone would have survived.

I couldn't be what I needed to be for you.

I wasn't capable.

She never came back.

Well, that was then, and this is now.

We have doctors, we have medicine.

We have talk therapy, okay?

Your mother's right.

We have all those things...

..and family.

We're going to be here for you this time.

I'm going to be here for you this time.

- How is she? - She's going to be fine.

- We'll all make sure she's fine. - Yeah.

Should I take you home or?

- Yeah, or I can. - Sure. Yeah.

Yeah, you stay with Enigma.

Yeah.

Bye.

With my daughter.

Your share from the party.

Thanks Mum.

Deb and I are going to use it to get away. Family holiday.

Oh, what a great idea.

Oh, you don't mind

giving Dad a ride to the mainland, do you?

No.

Thank you.

♪ Well, this is it I'm running out of space ♪

Thank you.

What's that?

- Seed money. - For?

A podcast.

You the detective, me, the pushy pain in the arse.

Mum took it better than I did.

It was a shock...

..to realise she was abandoned

by someone who was right there, all along.

But, not there.

Actually, everything makes more sense to me now.

You want to say hi?

Hey, Ollie.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's just Mummy.

Hello.

- Hey. - Hi.

That's for you, and Enigma.

Grace says she can come home anytime she's ready.

Oh, I think she's going to stay here for a while.

It was you -

who used to come and visit me in Alice's white dress.

Mummy was here.

You were mine.

I know what you're done,

and I can end all this.

This is honestly the best thing you've ever written.

Such a fascinating story.

I love it. Did the spooning really happen?

I don't care that it's 5,000 words.

We'll run it as a three part feature.

Airdrop it to me right now.

I'm not going to send it.

What are you talking about?

It isn't for publication.

No, no...

These people are my family now.

Sophie, the Baby Munro Mystery finally solved.

You have to publish. Sophie!?

P.S. There is one young man

who I believe will capture your heart

when you come to the island.

I won't say anything more,

but I feel as though it may be fated.

You all good?

- Hey. - Hey.

Hey.

You said that.

Ah, sorry...

Um, I have so much trash today.

Big family. I don't have a big family.

Just these guys are like my family. We eat a lot.

I, I'm, I'm the new guy.

- Frank. - Sophie.

Nice to meet you, Sophie.

I just won the new tender

and I want to make sure things are great for my customers.

So if you ever need more time

or you need an extra hand, I've got you.

I've got you.

Yeah, we've got each other.

Hey sorry, this is probably going to sound silly but,

what did you just do, when you checked your watch?

What was that?

It's nothing... It's stupid...

Hey, hey!

Okay... Hello!

This is Veronika Gordon and I am here with my researcher -

my research assistant, okay, Sophie Honeywell.

You can say hi, Sophie.

Oh hi. Yep it's good to be here.

So, if you like an

unsolved suspected double homicide.

If you like a remote island mystery.

If you like... Sophie what could they like?

Ah, family secrets...

Yes, yes, big juicy family secrets.

And intergenerational trauma.

I mean who doesn't like trauma?

So if you like trauma and if you like abandoned babies...

Well it's just one abandoned baby.

Then we have the podcast for you.

Welcome to the first episode of "What Kind Of Mother?"

Did you remember to say thanks for this video?

Maybe you should go back and give it a thumbs up to say thanks for all the time and effort that went into getting it for you...
