Is that the lot?

Let's get going.

Hang on, hang on.

What, Louise Vlada?

Those places are turning up. No, no, no, the waiter.

Derek Northcote.

Who?

The Derek?

All through high school, that guy made my life a living hell.

I've dreamt of all the things I'd say to him if I ever saw him again.

Off you go, then.

What? Do you want to take him on? Here's your chance.

What, now?

No. No, I... Go on.

You wouldn't be the emotional cripple we see before us if it wasn't for him.

Okay.

I'm going in, aren't I?

Yes, I think I can do that.

Derek. Derek Northcote.

Hey, guys.

Remember me?

Kane. Kane Albert.

We used to go to high school together.

Right.

Fag Albert, you used to call him.

Oh, hey, Fag Albert.

Kane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

How you doing? You're looking good. You've trimmed up.

Yeah.

Yeah, look, there's something I want to say to you.

Mm -hmm.

You're a waiter.

No, no, no.

I'm just keeping my hand in it. I actually own the whole Louisa franchise.

You're Louisa?

Crazy times. We launched three years ago. This is shop number 12. It's been

going on.

Congrats. What about you? What have you been doing?

He's doing heaps. Yeah, he's killing it.

Got his own business. Very successful business.

Mm -hmm.

Cane's Pies.

You've probably heard of it.

No. Best pies in Australia.

Voted.

Really?

What kind of pies are we talking about?

Well, that went okay.

Yep, you really showed him.

Well, it's a business opportunity.

What are all the things you said you were going to do to him if he ever

up? And he said, you're baking, you're bullying a pie.

Getting the cards up, guys.

I can't believe you're selling out to Derek Northcote, of all people. I'm not

selling out. I'm selling pies.

Lots of them, hopefully, once he tries these.

He owns a successful chain of cafes that need pies.

And we've got four mouths to feed.

Sorry.

What?

You know how the foster agency lady said it didn't have to stay here if it

didn't want to?

Yeah.

Well, I want to live somewhere else.

So only three mouths to feed.

Melody's mum here.

Oh, Zach.

And it's Jacob, too.

Um, Melody's mummy had to deliver a really important message last night.

Why?

Um, and you know, when I got here, I suddenly got so tired, didn't I? Yes.

That I, your dad, said instead of going all the way home, why don't you have a

sleepover? A sleepover?

Hey, where's my breakfast?

You gonna get my breakfast for me?

Good on you, boys.

Did we get away with that?

Oh, no. I've got to go. I've got to pick the girls up from the barber.

This is nuts. You should meet my kids properly.

And I should meet yours.

And maybe when they get used to each other, we can tell them about us.

Really? Are you ready for this?

Yeah, I am.

Morning, Mr Crabb.

What are you doing here?

Thought we'd seen the back of you.

You know... No, I don't know.

Relax, Dad.

He slept on the couch.

Shower's free.

Right, yep.

Well, uh, yep, yep, oh.

Thought it was over between you and him.

It was.

And now it's not.

Glad to be so happy for us.

Did you know Ryan stayed here last night?

Was he warm enough?

Mm -hmm.

It's a bit late to be squeamish now, Dad.

I'm the mother of a child.

Remember?

I'm getting dressed.

Yes. I know that Ryan stayed last night.

That's why I've organised for lunch for you and me and Phoebe so we can have the

talk. What talk's that?

The contraception talk.

Yeah.

We might have missed the boat on that one. Well, it's a pretty short stroll

the couch up to Phoebe's bed, so unless you'd like grandchild number two, I

suggest it's a subject we might like to revisit.

Oh, I promised Mr Tuck that I would help with the class dance number this

morning. If I'm taking time off for lunch, you're going to have to step up.

I don't step.

Guys, long time no see. No, not really.

Come on, you know you miss me.

What's he talking about?

I don't know. I'm back.

Morning drop -off.

Abby's back at work.

I'm in the harness and ready to ride.

No, definitely didn't miss him.

Do you think some of the other kids are bullying Finn?

I don't know.

Calm down, Cain. Just because you had Derek Northcutt in your life doesn't

that Finn has.

There's something going on, Lewis.

Finn's decided he wants to leave somewhere else.

What? Why?

He was so happy.

I want to stop.

Oh, look, I hear I've recruited you for our dance practice.

You're helping out too?

Okay, let's try and do it all the way through this time, okay?

Remember what we practiced?

All right, everyone, soldiers.

And here we go.

One, two, three, and back.

Two, three, clap.

One, two, three, clap. And right. Two, three, clap.

One, two, three, and clap, and push, and push.

Okay,

kids, we're not concentrating. When we do that right... Mr. Tuck, can I make a

couple of suggestions, just to give it a little bit more sort of boom, you know?

I'm thinking, you know, so a bit more, if we go sort of a double time, so it's

sort of more of like... One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Out, out, out, out.

And beep, and beep.

Star white. Star white.

Star white.

Star white.

Star white. Oh, smash it.

Smash it.

Yeah, we can try that. Can't we, kids? Yeah, thank you, Mr. Oliver. That was

very impressive.

Just a little something I threw together. Great, great. Hop in two

then we'll get ready to do it again.

Let's hop in our lines.

You're going to be related.

Sorry, mate?

We think Mr.

Tucker's going to get married.

What? Zach, can you just jump back in the line for me, please?

Lucy and I minded Zach and Jacob the other day and we sort of proposed to

other just to amuse the boys. It was a joke.

How's that funny?

Oh, no.

Not really.

I mean, I'd safely say Lucy and I were getting married and we're just... Just

what?

Enjoying each other.

I mean, we're enjoying spending time with each other. It's pretty casual.

I mean, it's not too casual. Obviously, there's respect.

There's lots of respect.

Okay, kids, let's go again. Let's try the star wipes this time, okay?

Five, six, seven, eight.

Why are you so grumpy?

This place is nice.

It doesn't matter. We're here now.

And we're here because your father has something he'd like to discuss with you.

Well, we've both got something we'd like to discuss with you.

Oh, I feel parental advice coming on.

That's so sweet you care. Well, of course we care.

Is that Cain?

Just head inside, I'll be a second.

Oh, you might be more comfortable doing that in the toilet. Just down the back

there to the right.

Seriously? Seriously.

Thanks.

Mate,

these are good.

Really? Yeah. You're a star.

I can definitely move these.

How many units can you give me a week? 200?

I'll put them right across the franchise.

That's great.

There's a letter of agreement here somewhere.

Who would have thought it, eh? Me and Thag.

No.

Me and you.

In business.

I've asked you nicely, now I'm insisting. Cover yourself up or leave

premises. Okay? Number one, don't speak to my daughter like that.

And number two, don't ever embarrass a breastfeeding mother in public.

Understood? Hey, hey. Shane's right.

You're a bully and a knob.

Oh, well, I didn't say that exactly.

Douglas.

We're going.

I've got that for you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Sign it and we're in business.

Is that a boob?

Yeah. And that is my husband.

Apparently he's the new face of the pro -public breastfeeding campaign.

Phoebe posted it and it went viral.

Well, we've always known that Lewis is a breath man.

Unlike Cain.

He sided with the enemy.

Well, what's he done? I didn't say that exactly.

Cutlass.

We're going. Thank you.

Lewis is laughing me soft.

Milking it, so to speak.

He's an inspiration for nursing mothers across the globe.

Oh, here he is.

A man who thinks all breastfeeding mothers are lepers.

Now, I didn't say that.

I didn't say anything.

Exactly.

He, um, got a couple of new moves for the dance routine.

I know.

Jazz hands into flat bursts.

You know what? You've made about four million pragmatic business decisions in

your life to my one.

That's why you own your own house and I'm renting.

Derek's offering me the break of my life and I'm taking it.

I've got principles.

That's the difference. I stand up to bullies.

Yeah, Phoebe, I like your clap verse.

Oh, thanks.

Dad, Daddy!

Hey! Can we go to the park?

No, we're going to have a play date with Melody and her mummy.

Oh, why?

Why? Because it'll be fun, that's why.

Come on.

You and Dimity still love?

Yep, we're still on.

What?

Come on now.

Come on.

Yep, bye.

Can't. Not now. I can't find Finn.

I know where he is.

Say yes to the rest, ladies. Thanks for coming down.

Say yes to the rest.

Finn.

Finn. What are you doing here?

To sit in.

I'm protesting.

I can see that. It's not appropriate.

Why not?

Well, he skipped school to be here for one, and he's an 11 -year -old boy at a

protest about bearing breasts.

Are you sexualising breasts?

No, Phoebe, I'm gay, remember?

Exactly. I support your rights.

You should support my breasts. I do support your breasts.

All right, it's important to stay hydrated when you're breastfeeding,

Oh, hey, Derek.

Hey, Cain.

Hope you're on track with my pie.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You OK with the protesting?

He's trying to bribe us, ladies.

It's not going to work.

I fully support these women's right to be heard just as I stand by my right to

say who can come into my cafe and what they do once they're here.

Why don't you just shut up?

Whose kid is this?

Ah, he's mine.

I'm not his kid.

Let me go.

Hey, thanks for standing up for me.

You're a really cool little guy.

If only you were ten years older.

I can give you a lift home if you want.

That's okay.

I'll walk.

You say you want to leave home.

You're attending Yes to the Breast rallies.

Finn, I don't know what you want.

I want to speak to Lewis.

Lewis?

I don't think your dad's a big fan of mine. Of course he isn't.

He's a dinosaur.

Dad's never liked anyone doing anything to his daughters.

Yeah, well, it felt like it was 1954 and he was asking me what my intentions

were. That's ridiculous.

Why do people feel they need to label things?

Exactly. We're just two people going with the flow who... Live together.

Sleep together. Run together. Do basically everything together.

That doesn't mean that we have to be like some old married couple or

Oh, yeah. Who needs labels?

Exactly.

Right?

Why do you want to talk to me?

I have no idea.

You're sporty.

You're heterosexual.

You're belligerent.

You're narrow -minded.

You're a... Where's he gone?

Yeah.

Hi.

Uh, come to return the comic book you lent me.

Oh, thanks. You didn't have to make a special trip.

There's something else I want to run past your dad.

But anyway, thanks.

Loved it.

Funny. So what did you want to talk to my dad about?

Oh, for the future.

Not now.

Thing.

You know how you said if only I was ten years older?

In ten years' time, I will be.

Okay.

Phoebe is the most awesome girl in the world.

No argument there.

We'll have to wait until I'm older.

I know that.

Louis, I want your permission to marry your daughter.

That's the loveliest proposal anyone's ever had.

Yeah, it's right up there, mate.

I've made a few.

But I didn't see how it would work.

I'm 17 with a baby and you're 11.

Not forever.

Hey, door's open, sorry.

This is Ryan.

Are you her boyfriend?

No. Sort of.

Okay, mate.

Time to go home.

So we thought it'd be great if we all got together, didn't we?

Yeah, Mr Bain and I.

Justin. Justin and I thought that it might be nice if you all got to know

other. Why?

Why? Um, we thought that you could all start playing together and

have fun.

We're not sharing our toys.

Listen, mate. I can't play with your train sets.

Wow, that really sucks.

And she's not allowed in our room. Ever.

Are you two getting married?

No. No, mate. We're not getting married.

Timothy and I, we're... Special friends. Yeah. Yeah.

Real special.

Oh, chicken.

You're not allowed to touch my baby sister.

Zach, say you're sorry, mate.

Say sorry.

I'm never sorry about that.

No. I do sometimes.

Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on.

Just because I like Demi doesn't mean I love your mum any less.

I don't want you to marry her.

I'm not marrying her.

Then why is she sleeping in mummy's bed?

This is a nice one.

This is mummy when she came back from the hospital.

With a gorgeous little baby girl.

Her name was Angie.

remember that day?

Did?

Nah, you would have been too young.

I remember everything.

What? That one?

That's me and mummy.

That's me and mummy being happy.

Mate, about Phoebe.

I'm going to bed.

Finn, The lady from the fostering agency comes back soon.

I need to know what's going on.

Phoebe was my backup plan.

Okay?

Now I don't have one.

What? Why do you need a backup plan?

How do I know you and Tom will stay around?

We're not going anywhere.

So you do like it here.

Then?

I like my mum and dad too.

And Grandad.

They all left.

We're not leaving.

Is this why you proposed to Phoebe?

Something more permanent?

In case of emergency.

There's no emergency.

You like it here.

You like us, we like you.

You do now.

What about next year?

And the year after?

That's like classic attachment stuff.

That's a good sign. It means he likes you.

He's got a weird way of showing it. It is funny, though, that out of all

he was the one to stand up to Derek Northcote. It's not that funny.

How is Derek?

Still a bully.

A rich one.

Did he, um, ask about me?

No.

Why?

No reason.

Just, you know.

Oh, his son's in the bus when I told him to stop picking on you.

Are you blushing?

No.

What are you putting in the tie?

You didn't.

You did!

It only happened once.

You and Derek Northgate? How?

When? Why?

You know that time he gave you the black eye behind the demandables? You told me

you went to his house and made him cry.

And I did, but then I felt sorry for him and it just happened.

You have to leave now.

Cain, I know that he was horrible to you, and I hated him with a passion, but

sort of got it confused with the other kind of person. I was 18.

You were meant to be defending my honour.

And I did, just not mine so much.

Look, it's really great reminiscing, but I've got pies to bake.

Cain.

Cain, I was trying to stick up for you. I can stick up for myself.

I know that.

See you later.

Right.

I've got something to say, so listen up.

Today has been a complete disaster.

Lewis thinks I'm being a sellout.

Phoebe and Gemma think I'm a traitor.

And Abby just told me that she... What's Abby done?

Never mind what Abby's done. The point is, I've got to bake 200 pies for a guy

that made my life hell.

How did he do that?

Well, he gave me a black eye, punched in my bike tires, he threw eggs at my

house.

I let him.

Because I felt like I deserved it.

But I didn't.

No one should ever feel like they don't have a hope.

You think you need backup?

I need backup.

I've never needed it more than I do now, and you're it.

I've got to bake 200 pies tomorrow morning, and I haven't got a hope in

unless you help me.

So get out of bed now.

Ow!

Why do people exercise?

To live longer, healthier lives.

Any crippling pain?

I'm never going to be an Olympian.

Oh, you're destined for greater things.

Oh, really?

What do you think I'm destined for?

I've been asking myself that since your dad started hassling me.

I've never listened to Dad.

And I've decided that you are destined to be with me.

And nobody else.

Thank you.

It's very helpful.

Lucy.

I'm asking you to marry me.

Okay, can I have another double shift? Hope that's okay.

No, that's fine. I've got a half day. I can do school pick -up, school drop

-off, cook dinner, and still have time to see Jackson.

Poppy, I'm in the car already!

We're in such a good place right now. You throwing yourself back into Poppy.

Star wipes galore.

You up to your elbows and spleen.

We've really figured it out.

Yeah, we're in a perfect place.

Oh, and if things are a little bit weird with Cain and me, just go with it.

Why would they be weird?

Oh, you know, the usual.

And I slept with his school bully.

Derek Northcote.

What? Oh, don't you start.

I was 18.

It's a very confusing time.

What's confusing?

Five straight up.

And he wasn't a patch on you.

Hey. Hey.

Wouldn't normally ask, but we got to school and Kaylee's just not up for it.

think it's the gastro thing going around her club. Yeah, that's cool. I'm home

all day anyway.

Can't go to school if you're a crook.

You go in, sweetie.

I've been hanging for this appointment with Simon's divorce lawyer for weeks. I

understand. You've got to go. It's important.

Okay, I'll be back as soon as I can, sweetie.

Hey, we'll be fine. Good luck with the meeting. Thank you.

All right. Oh, hey. Hi. Oh, Timothy, hi.

How's, uh, how are things? Great.

Busy? I'd better run. Yep. I'm late.

Uh, Mark, you know Kayla?

Timothy's eldest.

Hey.

Okay, so you can pick a film, any DVD you want.

Yeah, except for that one.

And maybe, maybe that one.

Where are you going?

To the toilet.

That okay?

Yeah.

Abby slept with Cain's bully.

Last batch coming through.

Whoa! What did we bake 200 pies in one night?

Yep. And now we have to deliver them.

So, what's the story? Has he decided to stay?

I don't know.

Don't crowd him.

You'd think you'd know someone. She was 18. It was nearly 20 years ago. There's

a thing called loyalty?

Abby didn't even know you back then.

Let's do it.

Hey, Mark.

What? Get over it.

Go here.

So, uh... You and Dimity are getting pretty... pretty serious.

I mean, she drops her kid off and you're playing daddy.

I'm not playing dad.

Oh, Dimity's great.

I'm just saying, you know, as long as you're ready.

Why wouldn't we be ready?

I'm not telling you not. It's just, I mean, people have different ways of

dealing with things. Yeah. And Dimity's been through a rough trot too. It's

just, I mean, I'm not saying that she's been rash or irrational.

Hey, how long has Kayla been in the bathroom?

Kayla, you've been in there for ages. Are you okay?

Kayla.

Are you sure?

Can you please get my mum to come back?

Her phone switched off.

She shouldn't be long.

I need her now.

Can't I help?

No, you really can't. Why not?

Because you're a boy.

Kayla, did you get your... Kayla, we'll

get your mum as soon as we can.

It's just Mark.

Make him go away.

You should go. Go, go, go, go.

All right, he's gone. It's just me now, okay?

Okay. Okay?

I'm here.

I'm right here.

You're late.

I'm not going anywhere until you give me an answer.

Obviously, I'm very flattered.

And obviously, I love you.

That's the first time you've ever said that.

I know.

Sort of my point.

Usually, you get that out of the way before someone proposes.

Well, you said it. The next thing you can say is yes.

Sure. Well, sure as in yes. Sure as in that would be the next thing I would say

if I was going to say yes.

And are you?

Just wait a moment.

Justin.

I know how sometimes things are just a crap.

All you want to do is hide.

You know what?

It's easier being on the outside with people who care than trapped on the

inside.

All on your own.

Hi.

Hi.

This is Lucy.

She's a good friend of mine.

I've asked her to come and help you.

May I come in?

I'll call you around again, okay?

Okay. Okay.

You did good.

Those samples you brought me yesterday ran out the door. People loved them.

Great.

You haven't tried our chicken pie yet?

I don't think you mentioned that one.

Secret recipe.

So it'll cost you extra.

What he said.

Look, the only problem is my franchise has taken a hit because of all this

breastfeeding stuff. Why don't you get your mate Lewis to issue me with a

apology? Explain it was all a misunderstanding.

We can put an end to all of it.

I like your chances.

I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about keeping your order up if I wasn't losing

customers. Lewis didn't do anything wrong.

You're the one who should say sorry.

He's right.

Maybe you should be the one to apologise to Phoebe and all the women out there.

And maybe...

Maybe you should

apologise to me too.

For all the crap you put me through in high school.

Well, how about I terminate our agreement instead?

She's just having a nap on your bed.

Is she all right?

Yeah, I think so.

I guess nothing's so great for Kayla at the moment. Oh, she hates me.

I didn't say that.

Okay. She did.

It's understandable.

Her parents have split. Of course she blames you.

Which is not to say that it's your fault.

She's going to get over it. It just takes time. Yeah.

And how is that? Can Jacob coping with everything?

You know, having someone new in the house?

Yeah, good.

Good. And thanks again for coming.

Sure.

Hi.

Hi.

Is she all right? Where is she? She's just having a sleep.

This is Lucy. She helped out with Kayla. I thought she'd want to go.

Oh, thanks.

I really appreciate it. I'd better go and see her.

She'll be happy to see you.

Yeah.

I have banned myself from talking about my exes with Lewis.

Derek Northcote is not an ex. He was a one -off.

I was at high school.

Mum gave us finger buns for afternoon tea and one thing led to another.

Well, if anyone needed to talk, it was you.

I know I shouldn't have said anything, but I thought Mum could find it funny.

Oh, how do you not know by now?

Men like to think that their wives' sex lives start the moment that they meet

her. As far as Lewis is concerned, I was a 32 -year -old virgin. Oh, I think I'm

going to throw up.

Should I be offended by that?

No, I'm just feeling a bit off today. I'm exhausted.

Yeah, well, hello. That's what happens when you go as hard as you did day one.

By the next day, you feel as bad as the rest of us do all the time.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Sorry I had to run before.

It was kind of an emergency.

Yeah, it always is.

Every time that phone rings and it's Justin, you go running.

And I know he's had a terrible time, and I like the guy, I really do.

But I asked you to spend the rest of your life with me.

And you told me to wait a moment, Liz.

what are you doing marry me i thought we were just having an argument marry me

instead

How did I miss this?

One of the most important moments of her life, and I'm talking to the divorce

lawyer about who gets to keep the car.

How'd it go?

I'm just blocking.

Nothing's really been decided yet.

So he wants you back.

What do you want?

I don't know.

I need some time to get my head around it all, that I can sort it out.

Service department thinking me broke.

And I just haven't found anywhere that I really like yet, you know?

Maybe you never will.

Maybe you haven't found somewhere because you already have a home.

With Simon.

Things with Simon are very messy. If there's a chance of you sorting them,

you should try.

For your kids.

And I need to do what's best for my kids.

So I'm not sure if there's any room here at the moment for anyone else.

It's okay.

I get it.

I'm going to miss you.

I miss you too.

You all right?

Yeah.

You'll be pleased to know that Derek and I have broken up.

He asked me to get you to make a public apology.

I refused.

He terminated my contract.

You want principles?

I've got them.

You needed that contract.

I thought I needed principles.

Can Derek just cancel the contract?

Did you read the fine print?

He slept with my wife.

That was a long time ago, but I wouldn't trust a bloke as far as I could spit

him. Hey, can't you just roll on this?

Kane needs the cash.

Derek Northcote was rude to my daughter.

I'm not rolling.

I've got an idea.

Are you done?

And go.

You've made your position on breastfeeding pretty clear. That's cool.

Thing is, it's a pale.

Hungry babies.

Hungry babies equals crying babies.

Equals noise.

Want me to make it stop?

But this is only the beginning.

Zach,

Jacob!

Put that lady's penne back on her plate now.

Sorry,

kids. You understand, right?

Apologies, madam. That's on the house.

You think the sit -ins have been bad for business?

They're nothing compared to what we can hit you with.

We haven't just got babies.

Between us, we've got every age bracket covered. Babies, toddlers, kids, unruly

teens. You guys are trying to heavy me with kids?

You get over it sooner. I will never get over it.

And if we do get tired?

We've got backup. This guy is big in the Mothers Group Association.

He owns suburbs.

Owns. He can organise a rolling roster of babies, kids, toddlers to stack every

one of your 12 franchises.

All day, every day.

Okay, what do you guys want? What have I got to do to make this go away?

What's old Twinkle Toe doing?

He's supposed to be coaching from the wing.

Why has he said it's Dave?

I'm that doctor, man.

You can tell me anything you want to know. I'm going to understand.

I want you down, you get down, you're down, you're down. You're down, you get

down.

So Derek did renew the contract?

With a little persuading.

200 pies a week?

How are you going to manage that?

Well, I'll need a little bit of help.

If you need me, I'd better stay.

So I hear you sorted Derek out.

Oh, yeah, we showed him who's boss.

You have nothing to worry about, Mark Oliver. With moves like that, you had me

at the first star work. We're sort of in a perfect place right now, aren't we?

We are.

But we might need to make a few adjustments.

Are you pregnant?

I asked Harry to marry me.

What?

You're going to be Mrs. Tuck.

Actually, it's all thanks to you, Dad.

All your hassling got us thinking.

Good on you, darling.

Daddy, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Promise me you'll never grow up.

Promise.

Did you find him?

Yep, found him. Good.

Good, thanks.

Good luck.

Well, let's talk.

Done.

That was the tour.

There you go.

Hey, you're not working tonight, are you? No, I just came in to see you.

Cool, what's up?

Harry and I are getting married.

I'm sorry, that came out so weirdly.

I just wanted to tell you before you heard it from someone else.

Congratulations, that's fantastic.

Thank you.

Is that all?

Um, yeah.

Gotta get back to the glasses.
