[Nina] What have you done?

No, you've made a mistake.

A stupid, thoughtless...

You're not really going to leave St Francis.

Are you?

Oh! Shoes?

Where's the other one? You need two, silly!

[Zoe] I'll get it, Mommy.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm just trying to sort out how I'm gonna show my face at work.

How to tell people if I even meant it.

Did you mean it?

[sighs] Well, in the moment I was so sure.

I heard the words coming out of my mouth.

But it's crazy, isn't it,

to leave a job when you have no next job to go to?

Especially when you're pregnant.

Oh, it's your career, they are your decisions to make.

[both chuckle softly]

Speaking of pregnancy...

when are we going to tell Zoe?

I haven't figured out how to tell her yet.

Yeah, it's just, a lot of people know already.

Just a matter of time before someone lets it slip.

Yeah. Well, she's not ready. I'm not ready. Yet.

Why don't we tell her tonight?

I'll tell her.

Meaning, you by yourself?

Yes.

[cell phone ringing]

Sorry.

Billie.

I'm going to Mum's. Can you come, too?

What for?

Crisis summit about Mum and Phil D'Arabont.

-Now? -Correct.

You, me, and scruffy brother.

Come or live with the consequences of not coming.

I'm coming.

Good.

"What Now?"

It's from Dan.

-Are you sure? -Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm just trying to decipher the meaning.

Does he mean what is the next bit of the game?

-Or what's the next bit-- -[Jimmy] Ahh!

What? What? What's "Ahh" mean?

It means I've hung in there as long as I can and now I'm out.

Hasn't the game gone on for long enough?

Neens, I didn't get to win the way I wanted to.

I don't feel victory. I can't move on.

-Oh, I don't feel like-- -Coffee.

Oh, great. We have a lot to discuss.

First, Mom and D'Arabont.

I quit my job. [chuckles lightly]

Crazy, isn't it?

-Yes. -Wait, more information.

Do you have another job lined up?

No.

Well, then, yeah.

Never leave one job without another one to go to.

Holes in the résumé.

I've got lots of résumé holes, and so do you.

I hate to break it to you, but you and I are not pedigree surgeons

with perfect career histories and no arrests.

-Nina is. We need to protect her. -[door closes]

Mum... Mum's here.

[Nina] Hello, Mum.

Are you alone, or with company?

I'm alone.

No, no, no. I'm not going to defend my relationship to all of you.

Mum. Phil D'Arabont has proven

that he cannot be trusted with the welfare of anyone in this family.

Including you.

That's what we're worried about.

And that it is guaranteed to crash and burn.

And that being with him is like shitting on Dad's grave.

One day you will be where I am.

You will long for companionship.

It's not as easy to make new friends as it once was,

because the future doesn't open in every direction anymore.

[chuckles lightly] What's the point?

Mum?

Let her go.

[indistinct conversations]

Hello.

Hi. Can you just settle an argument for us?

My publisher, they've sent through

some design ideas for the cover of the novel.

And we're trying to decide. Show her.

Okay. You gotta trust your gut on this one, all right?

[Nina] Okay.

It looks... adventurous.

See? Thank you. It's exactly what I want when I look for a book.

A bit dry.

I... I don't want dry.

Shut up. Show her option two.

[Zara] Option two.

[grunting softly and sighing]

-Yes. -What? It's too obvious!

It's erotica! It's meant to be obvious!

[Elvis] Nina! There you are.

No running in the corridor. Nina...

Did you resign from the hospital?

-[scoffs] -Yeah, she's quitting and I've got

a bunch of daffodils growing out of my bum.

[all laugh]

Yeah, but did you?

Where is this joke going?

Face.

I...

You quit?

I did say I was gonna resign. I did say that.

-What? -What is going on?

I was having a moment.

It might have been a tantrum.

I think it was.

I think something just boiled over...

[Elvis] Yeah, because you didn't get the job,

but Margot did, and now she's usurping your power.

No, it wasn't that.

Anyway, I have taken stock

and I'm going to talk to Margot and un-resign.

Stop looking at me.

Let me reassure you both.

This is a party at a pub in honor of you two,

which doubles up as an opportunity

for the Proudmans and Harry's family to patch up some wounds.

And hopefully serve my own romantic purposes.

A party will be fun.

I know from my mum's point of view,

she is really looking forward to a celebration

when she gets back from wherever she is.

Kerry? You've been less vocal about your attitude.

I prefer not to be the center of attention.

But making something out of nothing seems to be what your family does.

And it's never too soon to get used to that idea.

[cell phone chimes]

Ah! I've got to go.

I'm going with Kim and Jess to their ultrasound.

Ooh!

-I'll see you later. -Good luck.

Billie.

-Hello. -Hi.

I'm just going to put it out there.

You kind of have two gears. Jumping in head first, or running away.

Which gear are you in right now?

[chuckles lightly]

Billie...

I'm fine.

Work.

[knocks on door]

May I come in?

[Margot] Please.

Wow. Settling in?

Yeah. Take a seat.

Our conversation--

Yeah, I apologize for how that went.

So do I.

And what I said about handing in my resignation...

that was done in the heat of the moment.

Sure.

I'm hoping we can just step it back, and reconsider.

Do you often do things in the heat of the moment?

-No, no. -Yeah, I didn't think so.

Please help me understand what was going through your mind.

I've... I've been trying to figure that out myself.

Is it about me?

That I've been appointed to a role that you were hoping would go to you.

A role that you've been fulfilling.

Yes.

To be honest, that was a kick in the guts.

And you wanted to make that hurt known?

-[chuckles] Yes. -A fit of pique?

-[stammers] Yes. -Okay.

Okay, great.

The last thing I want is for you to leave.

Let's just put it behind us and we'll find a way forward together.

Oh! Okay.

Great.

Working with you was part of what drew me here.

-It's an opportunity. -Mmm.

If you have any doubts or concerns, you'll let me know.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I will.

Okay, great.

I'm glad we had this chat.

[sighs heavily] Oh, me, too.

[cell phone chimes]

[softly] Oh, I'll leave you to it.

Could you close the door, please?

Yeah.

Thank you.

[Nina] Done. Problem solved.

So why doesn't it feel better?

-Hi. -Hi.

How was school?

It was challenging.

It was good.

-[TV playing inside] -How are the kids?

Watching an episode of The Octonauts.

[softly] We've got 15 minutes.

[Jimmy grunts softly]

Shh.

[children laughing]

[both moaning softly]

[both breathing heavily]

I got to clock on.

Dinner rush.

-So I'm back studying. -Mmm-hmm.

-And you're delivering food. -Yeah.

Are you fulfilled?

It's not what I dreamed of when I was a kid,

but it's a job.

And if I get to hold onto you until you graduate,

then I get to be a doctor's wife.

I just... I want it to be sustainable.

Yeah, it will be.

I know, but we said that last time.

And I just want a plan that works for both of us, yeah?

Yeah.

No, no. Thanks for telling me.

We have a catering issue.

The couple that were running the kitchen at the pub

are being deported to Switzerland to face charges of fraud.

Why don't we hire a caterer?

I'm gonna make Jimmy make tacos.

Mmm.

Um, did Bossy McBoss-Face let you keep your job?

Margot.

Yes, she did.

-Interesting. -What?

I'm getting the feeling that you're not sure about staying.

No. Like you said, I'd be shooting myself in the foot.

No, Neens, I'm not against you leaving St Francis.

God, you gave them your life and they kicked you.

No, Billie--

It's just the jobs I wanted to put you forward for have been filled

and those sort of positions don't come along everyday.

Well, I don't want to make career decisions

based on anger, or resentment anyway.

My honest advice would be to grin and bear it for a few more months.

Then you'll be on maternity leave.

Then you can look at your life,

with the new baby, and assess your options.

[sighs]

I haven't told Zoe yet.

About the baby.

I've been wondering about that.

You understand why, don't you?

Yeah, of course.

You'll be Mum, and Harry will be Dad,

and a new baby will make a perfect triangle.

And Zoe on the outside.

I don't want my daughter to feel like an outcast in her own family.

No. Neens.

Look, I don't have the magic solution,

but, yeah, you need to tell her.

But I know you'll find the right way.

Zoe. Darling. Come sit with me.

How would you feel about a new baby brother or sister?

Have you got a baby in your tummy?

Yes.

Can I feel it?

You can but there's nothing to feel yet.

Can you feel anything?

Boy or girl?

I don't know. Could be either.

Cuddle.

Ooh...

[music playing over speakers]

-Hi. -Hi.

Is that a smoke machine?

-No. -Disco lights?

Is someone going to jump out, do you have people hidden?

People?

I'm going to sit, but I'm wary.

And I want you to know that I'm ready.

[sniffs]

For anything.

So...

What now?

Well, taking, perhaps foolishly, your question at face value,

my question is, do you dare find out

if this relationship can survive without the fun and games?

Do we have a future as our real selves?

I certainly hope so.

Because let's face it, if the game is over, I was the winner.

-[laughs] Oh, that was a win, was it? -Yes.

The end was a wash out.

Not at all.

It was kind of embarrassing.

I was embarrassed for you.

Oh, really? You know...

[stammers] Actually this is the problem.

There's no off switch.

I need a safe word or something.

Like what?

-Yogurt. -Yogurt?

-No, yogurt. -[chuckles] Okay.

I'm serious.

I promise you

right now, I'm being real.

If you want to meet the real me, our next date is a not wedding.

You'll meet my entire family.

For real. It's not a game.

It's an audition. They will judge you and they are terribly inconsistent.

I can't wait.

And did you tell Zoe about the baby?

[Nina] I... Yeah, I did.

Well, you've got to give me more than that.

I told her she was going to be a big sister.

-And? -And what?

What do you want me to say?

Well, it's a big moment. I want to hear about it.

Okay, well, to be honest, the timing could have been better.

And you blame me for that.

You put a clock on it.

No. What I wanted was to be part of it.

I just mean Zoe and I do have a relationship.

That conversation was for Zoe and me.

Some things truly are just for us.

Okay.

Patrick's Zoe's father.

I know that.

Yeah.

I have always respected that.

[sighing] Sorry.

I know you have.

This is just the hardest stuff.

I know.

Come here. Come here.

This is the part of dog ownership you don't think about so much beforehand.

Eh? Don't be cute now.

No, don't act cute.

Yuck!

Will.

Yes. Hello.

-I, um... -It's Greg, isn't it?

You don't want Greg anymore.

No... No, I've totally come around to Greg.

You've seemed a bit... About the party.

Look, I don't need the party, but I'm sure I'll get into it.

Are you having doubts about what we did?

No.

'Cause, if you are, or if you were--

Hey, hey, I'm not.

Okay?

I think you're right. I think it's just the party.

-We should go. -Okay.

Come on.

[cell phone ringing]

-Billie. -[Billie] Morning.

Think of this as a test case.

I've been scoping the terrain and I have a meeting for you.

-Where? -The Ainsworth.

The Ainsworth? [scoffs]

Okay, their reputation isn't as good as St Francis.

But can you make it today? 2:30.

I know it's short notice, but this is not a job interview.

Think of it as a go-see.

I suppose I can.

I'm staying at St Francis, though.

-You sure about that? -Yes.

There's no harm in going for a look.

Confirming a 2:30 with Dr. Gilbert. Thank you, caller.

[cell phone beeps]

You called me.

Mum.

Shut the door.

You can probably guess why I'm here.

The thing I was most afraid of was that you'd all react the way you did.

That's why I kept it secret.

I was afraid it wouldn't stand up to the light of scrutiny and judgment.

It's all out there now,

and I still like him.

-[sighs] -I'm not trying to replace Darcy

anymore than you're trying to replace Patrick.

I know that.

My children and my grandchildren are the most important things.

So if you ask me to give this relationship up...

I will.

Mum.

[clicks tongue]

[door opens]

D'Arabont?

Hey!

Billie! [chuckles]

Wow! You look fantastic.

What do you want?

Um, well, Geraldine mentioned that

you might still have a bit of resentment after...

[laughing] A bit.

Uh... Oh, come on, Billie.

I know we've had some banter over the years, but I have to say,

I only ever thought it was a bit of fun. [laughs]

Destroying the name Darcy Proudman was a bit of fun?

Well, you know, that was years ago.

And it was... It wasn't personal. It was business.

It was my business.

It was my father's name. The family name.

[stuttering]

Mmm.

What're you doing with my mother?

Oh, well... [chuckles]

Trying to convince her to, uh, to take a chance on me.

Bullshit.

You haven't changed. You're trying to toy with me the way you're toying with her.

I'm in love with her.

I'm in love with your mum.

She's so alive and... Okay, well...

I don't wanna patronize you with any more talk.

I don't deserve her.

And I can see from your point of view that it's...

[sighs]

She's so lucky to have children like you.

You know, you...

[sighs] Oh, shit.

[elevator bell dings]

[laughter]

I swear to God, I saw it.

I think you're blowing it out of proportion.

All I'm saying is I found glitter.

That doesn't mean anything.

It is a viable piece of evidence when you suspect somebody

of moonlighting as a fairy.

[chuckles softly]

Hi. I'm Nina Proudman.

I'm looking for David Gilbert.

Um, look no further.

-Dr. Proudman. -Nina.

David. It's good to see you.

-Thanks for coming in. -Oh, my pleasure.

-Shall we? -Mmm.

Well, I'll level with you.

Um, The Ainsworth has always been a bit shit compared to St Francis.

There was a gas leak a couple of years ago.

Yes, I remember.

Well, I took over just after that and I inherited the crisis.

I'm trying to turn it around.

I'm trying to ensure best practice, and to grow our research output.

We want to be the best.

So if you do decide to leave St Francis,

please talk to me before you talk to anybody else.

Oh, I'm...

I'm very flattered. Um...

But my plan is... is to stay.

What would you want?

Since you're staying, and I can't offer you anything.

Oh. [chuckles]

[stammers] I don't think I've ever really had any concrete...

You know what? Thank you for asking me that.

My first love is looking after women and helping babies to be born.

But I do spend a lot of time being polite

when the fact is I do want more.

There are deeper questions of fulfillment. Professional development.

I want to make a broader contribution to maternal health through research.

So you wouldn't necessarily be interested in jumping sideways

into the same role you're in now.

No.

I want to be Head of Obstetrics.

I'm ready for that.

Well, it's great to meet you.

-You, too. -[both chuckle]

And thank you. It's been really clarifying.

[Nina] This is the right decision. This is... home.

I'm happy here. This is where I belong.

[elevator bell dings]

Going up?

-What? No. -Yes, you are.

Oh.

-Keep walking. -Uh, going too fast.

-Keep walking. -Squashing my eyebrows.

Turn right.

[all] Welcome back!

[laughs] What is happening here?

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

Oh, you quit, then you didn't, so it's a welcome back party.

It was my idea.

It was my idea, actually.

The point is, we know you've had a hard time.

We want you to fall in love with St Francis again.

Oh, I love St Francis, it's... [laughs]

I love working here. I...

I love this group of people.

But the other day when I resigned...

I think my instinct was ahead of me.

And I am going to leave.

No.

Yes, I am.

-Nina, this isn't funny. -It's okay, I've decided.

I can never be all that I want to be while I stay here.

I don't wanna work for you.

I want to be you.

I love you all.

Even you.

But I have to go.

-Mummy? -Yeah?

Who is going to be the baby's Daddy?

Who do you think?

-Harry? -That's right.

We ready to go?

-Ready? -Yeah.

Let's go.

Hey, still feeling okay about it?

I'm not bothered.

That's the right choice.

[blues music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] Oh, look who is here. Hi.

-I'm gonna talk to Billie. -Sure.

-You look good. -[exclaims]

Have you got the speech ready?

I'm not making a speech.

-What? -[both exclaim]

-You're kidding, right? -Mum and Phil D'Arabont.

Yes, we have our objections and they are well founded.

-But-- -They claim to be in love.

Mum even said that she would end it

if we were truly against it.

I wanna say good, but--

We'll be killing her last chance at happiness.

We could just go with it.

-Keep an eye on her. -Yeah, vigilance.

-And we catch Mum if it goes bad. -Right.

What do you think?

I want Mum to be happy.

Someone should tell her to bring him.

Oh, I'll do that.

-From all of us. -Yeah.

And now, for something completely different.

Oh, God. Handsome man. Reset. I can do it.

[mumbling]

Come here, come here.

-[shushes] -Why do you always shush me?

-Why do you never shush her? -[Nina scoffs]

[shushing]

-Hey. -Hi.

Ooh.

Hi. Um, this is, um, Dan.

-This is my sister Nina. You know Jimmy. -Mmm-hmm.

Hello, Dan.

[chuckles] I've heard so much about you.

It's all lies, you know.

Except the part about you being a bitcoin billionaire.

That's right. When I cough, the world economy catches cold.

[both laugh]

Yogurt.

Yogurt.

All right, enough. What's wrong?

-Nothing. -No, not nothing.

You've been acting so weird about this

and I've been hoping you'll tell me what the deal is...

Just tell me now, please.

I'm fine. Seriously, it's nothing.

[exclaims]

I don't want more bullshit about "Oh, it's nothing."

-I'll tell you later, I promise. -No, no, no.

We're not going in until you tell me.

Tell me or I'll walk.

Kerry, tell me, if you're not into this you need to--

I can't have children.

I was born with a condition that's called MRKH Syndrome.

I was born with no uterus.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay? I mean--

-Is it painful? -No.

No, but...

It means no kids.

I just, um...

-Uh, do you wanna go? -No, we should go in.

-We don't have to. -No.

Hey, here you are.

How are you?

Fine. Um, drinks?

Yeah, we've got bubbles and a bar tab.

Bubbles, please.

-Hi. -How are you?

-Is everything okay? -Yep.

-How are you? -Thank you. Good. Congratulations.

Here they are.

[sighs] Hello.

-Thank you so much for coming. -Hi, Nina!

There's always a chance to start again.

-[door opens] -[Geraldine laughing]

...I hardly know you. So the barman...

[both laughing]

[Nina] And here we go.

You'll have a bit of time off now that you've left work.

-I didn't work with any of my babies. -[nervously] Oh.

I understand that with Zoe, you had no choice.

Mum?

Your mother was just thinking of this family that you're trying to conjure up.

-[chuckles nervously] -No, Dad, we're not conjuring up a family.

We're not trying to make a family. We have made a family, okay?

-It's not a bloody hypothetical-- -People are watching.

[Harry] Let them watch, okay?

This is Nina's family, which makes it mine, too.

And if you guys can't welcome it and get on board,

then you'll have to leave.

-I was just trying-- -Dad, shut up.

This is a moment that you have to do well and the way to do that is to shut up

and start getting along with people.

Let's get a drink and find somewhere to sit.

Thank you.

[sighs in exasperation]

I should've told you,

but whenever I brought it up with boyfriends in the past,

it's always been the same.

But this time it's worse because...

I know how much you want children

and I let you marry me anyway.

Look, I'm sure there's some way for us to have our marriage annulled.

I don't want to take our marriage back.

Really?

But what about your ten year plan for us? The dog and then the children--

I would burn my ten year plan but, Kerry, why didn't you trust me?

Don't you trust me not to hurt you?

You can tell me anything.

In fact, that's the deal.

What else have you not told me?

Nothing. I mean, I don't know.

I had a sexual encounter with one of my high school teachers when I was 16

and I've never told anyone until right now.

-[gasps] Wow. -Go.

Okay, I sometimes think that if I get everything wrong in this life,

that when I die, I would be able to come back and do it all again.

I pee in the shower.

I pee in the shower.

I like Coldplay.

I like watching videos of people popping zits.

I do push-ups just before you get home, so that I look buff.

I bleached my mustache.

I see dead people.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[exhales]

When we met, I thought I knew how my life was gonna turn out.

But I got so caught up in what should happen in

plans and lists.

And I almost lost you.

But now, I don't need to know what's going to happen

as long as I'm with you.

I know that I'm a runner.

But I promise to always run towards you.

Any problems we face, we'll face them together.

[all cheering]

[music playing]

Don't say anything.

I know you, though.

Do you, though?

We went to school together.

I went to school in Hobart.

No, not that. Um...

What's going on?

I know him.

I do haunt the cafes around here.

Wait a minute, you're Dan Miller.

How do you know him, what is this, who is he?

I've read all your books.

[stuttering] I'm a big fan.

-[chuckles] -Books?

Yeah, he writes the Ruby Love books.

The Ruby Love books?

Action thrillers?

Oh! Is that why you're always free during the day time?

I'm sorry for interrupting but, Billie, can I have a word?

Um, look, I, um...

I certainly don't expect you to forgive me, but, um...

I'm giving you your name back.

Darcy Proudman Proprietary Limited is yours again.

-It is just a gesture-- -I know, I understand. I just need a...

-Thank you. -Mmm-hmm.

You be nice to my mother or I will kill you.

Okay.

It's gonna take more than a bribe to win them over.

-I love a challenge. -Mmm-hmm.

Good.

I was just saying that when the baby comes,

I do not want to be called "grandpa" or "pop".

I had a grandpa and I wasn't that keen on him.

Sure, of course.

I would like to be called "graph".

[chuckles] Graph?

[chuckling continues] Honestly, after all these years,

you can still surprise me.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

-Mum? -Hmm.

I liked our city and I like the bush,

but I miss having you and Martin in the same room at the same time.

I know, darling. Me, too.

But we have to be apart to write.

Oh.

Say, if you follow this schedule,

you'll have writing time.

But every other weekend we'll be together.

[sighs]

I'm proud of you.

So, the money will all be back in your account on Monday.

My friend in the Caymans is talking to her.

I don't need details, Mum.

Honestly, Will. It was just a little cash flow problem.

I think it's best from now on we put some legal distance between us.

Yeah.

Oh, yes. This is my gift to you to celebrate your marriage.

Oh.

Thank you.

No, no, no. You don't need to put it on, now.

The gift's inside.

[both] Oh.

No, no. Don't open it here.

In the loo is better.

[chuckles]

Um, so, by the by, you're doing really well with my family.

That's important.

Mmm. It is because, um...

I've decided to put a pause on the construction of my sex wall.

Ended up being more of a garden wall.

Or a short dyke.

I like you.

I like you.

It's really hard not to play.

We can play. We have that safe word.

Safe word.

Do you have any other talents?

[screams]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Nina, it's David Gilbert from the Ainsworth.

Is this a bad time?

Um, I am at a wedding.

Um, not wedding.

Actually, it's not a proper wedding.

Anyway, hi.

I'll keep it short.

You're still interested in pursuing your research?

Yes.

Well, after our chat, I made some calls

and I think we'll be a great fit.

We wanna facilitate your future. We're creating a role for you.

Sorry?

I can't make you head of obstetrics,

but I'd like you to be Senior Obstetric Adviser.

You'll be leading your own team and directing research.

You don't have to answer straight away.

Mull it over and we can talk tomorrow if you like.

Thanks, David. I'll give you a call.

Thanks, Nina. Enjoy the wedding.

Thank you. Bye.

And this is a pool table.

-It's where you were born. -Right there.

Quesadilla, taco?

-No, thank you. -[sighs] Full.

-Jimmy, wait. Wait, wait. -Taco?

I'm a robot.

Okay.

-I have an idea. -What for?

So, word on the street is Will's mum sorted out the finances.

I heard that.

I think the truth is, you were happiest when you were running the taqueria.

Yes, but that didn't work out.

Maybe it's because you expanded too quickly.

I'm saying that there is a kitchen there

and maybe you should run it.

-At least have a think about it. -Yes.

-Really? -Yes.

I make the tacos, you do the studying.

Come here, taco man.

-Have you thought of any names yet? -No, we haven't quite...

-Sorry about that. -Oh.

-Hi. -Everything all right?

I think I might take a job at the Ainsworth.

Yeah?

-Congratulations. That's great. -[both chuckle]

-Harry. -Hello, my darling.

Hey.

Will you be my dad?

Would you like me to be?

Yes.

I'd love to be your dad.

Come, let's dance.

[laughing]

Looking for a dance?
