- But you never get sick. - She never gets sick!

- You never get sick. - True.

I get sick. Everyone gets sick.

It's just a 24-hour bug or something.

- You ate a bug? - I don't think I should go.

Should I call Leroy and cancel?

No. This event is a big deal for Leroy.

He needs your help. And yours.

Remember, Uncle's raising money for your team. Be helpful, yeah?

But I need your help in the kitchen.

So you help this uncle, not that uncle. Understood?

Uncles.

I just need a day in bed.

Come on, Bub. Let's say goodbye

and let's get this show on the road.

- Go on. - Bye, Lauren.

Get out. It's infected in there.

Bye.

- Ngimpangi. - Bye, Mum. Can you close the door?

Mmm.

Mmm...

- Stop the bus. - What? Why?

- Stop the bus. - What did you forget, Daff, eh? Your handbag again?

If Lauren is really sick I need to stay and look after her.

A mother's instinct.

OK, but who's going to take the orders?

- Oh, me! I can take them! - Oh, you'll all be fine, you mob.

- Bye, Nan! - We'll work it out, Ned.

Don't worry, mate. Trust me.

When your missus changes her plans, you go with it.

Yeah. Right. OK.

Attention passengers,

the Tiwi ferry is now ready for boarding.

Please have your tickets ready for collection. Thank you.

Excuse me. Oops. Excuse me. Aunty coming through.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

I knew it!

You never get sick!

What do you... Everyone gets sick!

They stay in bed. They don't go boating.

Maybe I like the fresh, salty air.

Oh, lies!

What are you up to? Hmm?

Go on, then. Spill the tea before it gets cold.

Calm down, Blackie O! I'm just looking for Jarad Kirilima.

- It's nothing. - Oh, nothing, clearly.

- Ma... - Why you got secret business with the Kirilimas?

Because...

Because Jarad is Taya's biological father.

Yeah, I know it's just a fundraiser,

but I need us all to focus on getting the food out as fast as possible.

I'm talking Usain Bolt-fast.

No, no, no, Ned'O. You know what you need to focus on?

What?

Yuck!

Taya, cover the bread!

We'll put Taya on the grill and Trevor on the till.

- Oh-ho! - That rhymed.

I'll help in every way. I'm yours for the day.

Holy dooley.

He's done all this?

Turn your shitbox around. There's no point anymore.

What are you talking about? I've just bought 300 sausages.

Snags? What for?

Ned, this isn't Bunnings. This is Liza's big night.

What happened to your fancy gourmet crap?

What happened was I thought I'd take your advice for the day

and stop cooking like a stuck-up wanker.

Well, start wanking again.

Let's just take it down a notch, eh, lads?

- Shit, sorry. - Sorry, baby girl.

Used to it.

I've had to put all of this up by myself. Everything!

Setting up this whole thing without... without... you know.

And I can't even think about getting ready

because the Proud Marys are late and it's set Liza behind.

Why are you so worried about Liza? Who is this woman?

I reckon I could pull this lot together.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. Hold on, hold on.

- I need you to help me. - Hey, you've got Taya.

Let Liza be the drama queen, but we need you to take charge.

This was Ronelle's thing.

I've never run a fundraiser in my life.

- Woo-hoo! - Hey, budj!

There you go. Proud Marys are here.

Yeah. Two late, and one Mary down.

Come on.

- OK. No sausage sizzle. - What took you so long?

- I can't do this on my own! - Team of two now, sous-chef. Mm?

We need a new idea.

You got any games on your phone?

Get in the truck.

So you must have come out here with a plan.

- Yeah, 'course I did. - So, what is it?

Enjoying this, Mum?

Hasn't Bub had enough change this year?

You couldn't wait until she was older?

Taya deserves to know who her father is.

I don't like secrets.

Secrets, huh? So you told Ned.

Lauren Ford, what's wrong with you?

I haven't seen Jarad since high school.

I would like to form my own opinion before I tell Ned.

And what? Ned doesn't get a chance to form his own opinion

before you ambush Jarad?

I don't need to tell Ned to know what his opinion is.

Oh, so we're a mind-reader now.

Who's that? Is that ngipurnayi?

Calm down. It's not Ned. It's just a work thing.

- Oh, so that's what this is about. - No.

You getting back to your career.

This is about Bub!

This is about her connection to Tiwi, to Jarad.

So can you stop judging me

and making me feel like crap for every single decision I make?

- No. - Fine.

So, what's the plan? Where are you going?

I don't know.

Far out.

Let's go and see your aminayi. He knows where everyone lives.

- Go find Pop. Good plan. - Mm.

Where's the arts centre?

Knew that.

'Cause you know everything, don't you?

Awana! Good morning!

Dad.

Hello, Dad.

Hello, my daughter!

Look here.

Where’s Taya?

She’s with my husband.

You big hero, still working.

- Here. Your turn. - You’re an old man now!

You're not young like him anymore.

Go on. Your turn.

No, you paint it.

Go on. Show me how.

Excuse me, Aminayi.

Do you know where Jarad Kirilema lives?

Jarad Kirilema?

Kuwa, that's me.

Uh, Lauren Ford. We used to go to high school together.

Oh, yeah, I remember you. Um, debating captain.

Yeah. Footy captain, right?

One and only.

Yeah, I didn't recognise you without your braces.

What brings you to the islands?

Ronelle Byrne.

I heard she passed away. Yeah, that's, um...

Yeah, that's sad. She was your sister, eh?

I'm sorry for your loss, eh.

Get up. Come and help, you girls.

Go on, listen to your mum.

Sorry, what were you saying about Ronelle?

Um...

I'm actually here to talk about you and Ronelle.

This isn't the place.

Please.

Meet me at the beach after dinner.

Goulash? Paella?

We could do a cheesy jambalaya.

If you have cheese, just make jaffles.

Well, I like your thinking, but Leroy said he wanted it fancy.

Duh, Mum made flash jaffles all the time.

Oh, yeah? What made them flash?

I don't know. Leftover stew.

Or sometimes she'd get me to rub garlic on the bread.

Then she'd do something with those little tomatoes

in the oven thingy.

Roasted cherry tomatoes?

Your mum was a genius.

You know, I think you might be onto something, Bub.

But we've got work to do.

- I need your help. - But...

I'll let you DJ.

Ah!

- Sorry. - Jesus!

Come on.

OK, watch this. Watch this.

That's it.

No! No, no, no, no, no. Don't set them down.

Spread them out.

Now we're cooking!

Oh!

Ah! Ah! Ah...

Catch! One more.

Boom.

Oh...

So, you want to tell me what this is about?

Unless you make a habit of knocking on people's doors,

bringing up their past.

OK, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

- So, Ronelle... - I haven't seen Ronelle in, like...

Nine years and nine months.

Ronelle left behind a daughter, Taya.

She just turned nine.

And this girl? She's...

Your daughter.

Are you OK?

That's a hell of a thing to put on a bloke

and then ask if he's OK, Lauren.

I know, I know.

But just wait until you meet her.

She has the best smile in the world.

She has the funniest sense of humour.

Proper big woman.

Getting tall, too, like you.

Sorry, it's just, why didn't Ronelle tell me?

She didn't tell anyone.

Not me. No-one. Not even Bub.

- Bub? - Taya.

No. No, I can't take this on.

You don't need to. We don't have any expectations.

Then why did you tell me?

Does Taya know that I know?

Alright, keep it that way.

I don't want her knowing about me, Lauren.

Unc, I need you to emcee. Now.

- Liza needs to put her face on. - But...

Here's your script.

I'm not a thespian.

- Liza's turn. - Not ready.

- What is with her tonight? - She's saltier than usual.

Hm!

Right, um...

Put your hands together for the...

Sorry. Um...

Sorry.

Anyway, give it up for the...

for the, uh, Proud Marys!

Uh... OK.

So, um, so far we've raised 200 bucks.

But we're aiming for 10,000.

Anyway, now's the time to grab a drink and grab a jaffle

and get your bums back here for...

for Liza Trevally's bingo extravaganza.

Yeah.

OK, steak and onions up. No butter and two beans and cheese.

- I ordered the sausage and gravy. - OK, one sec, one sec.

One beans and cheese?

No, two beans and cheese but one without cheese.

- Oh... - Alright. how are we doing?

- I suck at this. - No, no, no. Look, look,

don't worry about how long the line is.

No, look at how long the line is!

I said don't worry about how long the line is.

Taking the orders correctly is more important than taking them fast, OK?

Did they say no cheese on one or no cheese on both?

- Oi, mate. - Yeah, OK, one second, please.

- Look. - Oh! Thank you.

- Ah... - I can't remember what they said.

Ugh!

Maybe 10-15... 20 minutes, maybe.

Something like that.

OK, folks...

Oh, no, no, no! I'm an idiot.

No, you're not.

But now they're all out of order.

- Hey, hey, hey. - The bingo's about to start.

What's this one say?

Oh, you can read it!

Hey, what are you doing?

Can you jaffle along? We're missing it.

OK, OK. Sorry gang.

It's a new business,

still trying to iron out some operational kinks.

I'll say.

And this gentleman has kindly offered to retake your order,

so if you just leave your table number

and we'll hand-deliver it, OK?

Uh...

Liza?

Bloody hell.

Ronelle used to put on my lashes before she went and died on me.

You're gonna have to do it.

Look, um...

we're all learning how to live without her.

You'd better talk me through how to do this.

Hey. Hey, forget that, forget that.

I let you down. I'm dumb!

Can you stop saying mean things to Bub? She's my friend.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

I never want to see a jaffle again!

I thought you liked toasties.

Every jaffle just reminds me of Mum.

And I don't want to think about her all the time.

Then I feel bad about that.

I know jaffles making me sad is stupid.

No, it's not stupid. It's totally normal.

Grief does funny things to people.

My dad never wore matching socks.

So I've been wearing odd socks every day too, since he died.

That was 25 years ago.

Now, don't tell the jaffles, 'cause they're kind of sensitive,

but if you never want to see a jaffle again,

I'll just boot them off this truck right here, right now.

I'm serious.

I'll never look a jaffle in the eye again.

Jaffles don't have eyes.

Uh... Are you crazy?

What about this one?

Ah! Hello... Oh!

Oh, shit, that is so hot.

Ow.

It has got eyes now, look.

Hm.

Alrighty...

Next one.

Oh. Can't tell if that's 69 or 96.

- 69. - 69?

Oh, one second.

69, dinner for two.

Cheeky buggers, eh?

Straightest drag bingo I've ever seen.

Straighter than a cricket bat.

Two beans and cheese, there you go.

Alright.

Uh, 43. 43...

Liza's summoned you to the dressing room.

What? What do you mean? I'm kind of busy.

Are you going already?

Leroy said you were part of the final act.

Old meat is not really in line with our brand

and we didn't even think that

Liza's going to make it to the stage tonight.

- Good luck, doll. - Good luck.

71, J-Lo's bum.

I think these are yours. Enjoy.

I don't know who that is. Is that a person?

J-Lo?

You going to tell me how it went or what?

I swear, daught,

the silent treatment on the ferry was one thing...

- I didn't invite you on the ferry. - ...but you are not the lone bloody ranger.

She is my granddaughter.

Then you and Ronelle should have sorted this out when she was alive.

Are you... You have no clue what Ronelle and I...

Those sleepless nights we spent together while Bub had croup,

while your sister found her feet with Bub,

she needed help, Lauren.

Not that you'd know.

When it...

When she was at her lowest, of course it came up.

Your dad and I were hoping he'd help but she wanted none of it.

Really?

You'd know the yarns we'd had if you'd come up more often.

Oh, don't flog that again.

You turned running away from family into a fine art.

I learned from the best.

Is that really why you moved so far away?

To run away from me?

No.

I just don't want Taya to feel cut off from Tiwi like I was.

So, when you started playing bush detective,

you knew this fella was Tiwi.

Well, no.

Jarad doesn't want anything to do with Taya, so...

I'm not saying that what you did today wasn't a good thing.

Eventually, it might be,

but don't gammin tell me you thought this through

when you haven't.

So, when are you planning on telling Bub?

I'm not.

He doesn't want Taya to know about him, so...

that's that, I guess.

You've been in the city for too long, my girl.

You're forgetting how quickly truth catches up with you

in a place like this.

You might have started something you just can't stop.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for!

Please welcome to the stage

Shh.

I'll tell you what,

I saw a thing or two tonight.

What are you doing?

I'm going to the toot.

Anyway, how's Daughty feeling? She still sick?

Sick in the head.

Sitting on a time bomb and she doesn't even know it.

Hmm.

You're doing much better.
