(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Pregnancy is tracking as it should.

That's good. It's not Cameron.

I went to Dubbo for Darren's birthday.

Naomi? Look out Wayne Yates.

What are you doing here? I thought you were still on Tiwi?

I was, I moved here two months ago.

I feel duty bound to let you know when you're being a dickhead.

Oh, yeah, how's that?

Oh, I don't know, mate.

Maybe just pretending to hide away

in Adelaide writing love sonnets for Eliza.

You might want to think about saying something soon.

I think they're getting pretty serious.

It's purely casual. I was very clear about that.

I don't get it. I do.

I can see you've got a lot going on

but I apologise if I've got this wrong

and you're not...

Nah.

Poppy's still in hospital

and she's desperate for a running blade

that I can't afford.

Time of death, 9:36pm.

(DOG BARKS)

Darren here yet? I don't know.

How you feeling?

Um, I don't know what's morning sickness

and what's anxiety.

Right. Oh.

Ooh. Trip went well then?

Terrible. Awful.

What do you think? Christmassy enough?

Oh, any more Christmassy

and Jimmy Stewart would run in screaming.

Who?

"Merry Christmas you wonderful old Building and Loan!"

It's a Wonderful Life? Best Christmas movie of all time.

Ah, I don't do Christmas.

I'm just here for Poppy and the community.

Anyway, it's incredible.

This fundraiser's going to be a smash.

You must be exhausted.

Oh, I am just glad that you're back to help with the chaos.

Oh, hey.

Feel like I haven't seen you in weeks.

Yeah, all that chaos I guess.

Um, I've gotta set up.

He didn't even say anything about my outfit.

Does he seem weird to you?

He always seems weird to me.

Ho, ho, ho, hope you like Christmas lights

'cause we've got enough to bring down the entire grid.

Thank you, Ryan. Straight to the tree please.

I'll give you a hand.

Shall we do the drop now?

You got the merch?

You have no idea how stressful it's been carrying this around.

What do you reckon?

Do they say, "Merry Chrissy," to you?

They say a lot more than that.

Hello, Pete. (LAUGHS)

Little Christmas angel up there.

Yeah, they roped you into this too, did they?

No, no, I actually love this stuff.

Get Mariah cranking late October I say.

I'll get the rest of it.

Hey, hey, were they diamond earrings?

All two carats. Why?

Hey, I thought you were working today?

Don't worry, I'm not staying.

No, I didn't mean it like... It's-it's fine.

I really want Anna and Poppy to have a wonderful time too.

And the Kingsley folk.

And besides, I'm on a call-out anyway.

Pete, 52-year-old gentleman with chest pains out at Hungerton.

OK, I'll fill the sac and tell Rudolph to prep the sleigh.

Tay, don't worry, we'll be eating pizza

and watching 'Terminator' before you know it.

And good luck with Darren.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Hey, I thought Hungerton was Mercy Flight territory now?

Apparently they're all on holidays,

so, they've thrown it to us.

Lucky us.

What they haven't thrown us are David's medical records.

Leonie's trying to track them down now.

Don't you love it when the private sector

undercuts us on price then forces us to do their work.

I've got a strict curfew of 14:00 too,

so, as soon as the dance is over, you kids get home, yeah?

Well, hopefully we'll be back sipping eggnog by then.

Yeah, on that,

apparently the whole town's been sipping eggnog too

so, it's going to be make own way in.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Just like Christmas back home, hey?

Hauling packs across the desert in bloody 40-degree heat?

(LAUGHS)

Well, it beats being locked inside in the bitter London cold

while Uncle Greg mansplains trickle-down economics.

I'll bet. (LAUGHS)

Still painful David?

Yep, like a heavy weight.

BP's OK. He's still a little tachy.

ECG is clear.

Troponin's fine too.

Any stress recently, David?

Oh, got a big family Christmas.

I'm cooking for everyone.

(LAUGHS)

Eliza? Yeah?

You got a sec? Yeah.

So, um, health record just came through.

Turns out he's quite the frequent flyer.

Five retrievals in six months.

That's a platinum flyer.

Yeah.

And nothing to show for it.

No.

(PHONE RINGS)

Leonie? Turns out it's a false alarm.

Really?

'Cause we've got a P1, MVA in Stilson.

Well, if Nigel can fit it within hours, we can do it.

Great.

But I have chest pains.

Well, all your results are normal,

so, it's possibly stress related.

Perhaps your big family Christmas?

That'd do it for me.

But it could also be a heart attack, right?

Rest assured, all the times you've been checked,

nothing sinister has been found.

We do need to use our resources carefully

and right now someone's been in a car accident we need to get to.

Dave?

Why don't we call your GP now and book you in for a follow-up?

Yeah.

Do you think it is Munchausen's?

It's called Factitious Disorder now and I didn't say that.

Five false alarms suggests he isn't sick

and we don't need to be here.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC) OK, folks, chop, chop.

Clock's ticking.

Righto, I'll drop his car off. Be back in a tick.

We don't have time.

I promised him. Only take 15.

# Wash your murra

# Wash your murra

# In between, in between... #

Let's all get up. One at a time.

# Wash your murra... #

Get your hands in. There you go.

Ooh, it's warm, ay? See?

That's them.

There, don't forget this too, like this.

And in between.

Oh, hands up if you've got clean hands.

Oh, oh. Clean hands, clean hands.

(LAUGHTER)

Yay!

I think we've got to change the name of this clinic to Clean Hands,

Healthy Hearts, Deadly Dance Moves.

Oh, man, little Leighton, she was just cutting loose.

Yeah, my knees hurt just looking at her.

Oh, whoa, I gotta go.

Oh, actually wait there.

Before you go, I actually got you a little something.

Just a little Chrissie pressie

to say thank you,

for helping set up the clinic and everything.

You didn't have to do that.

This is Tiwi.

I got it when I was working up there.

It's your mum's mob, right?

Wow, this is really special.

Thank you.

Hey, thank the ancestors for you.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Merry Christmas. Yeah, you too.

David? David?

I'll give you a call this week to follow-up, mate.

David?

Dave, David.

You're right.

Did you collapse in the heat?

No, I need you back here right now with O2 and midaz.

He's having a seizure.

Oh, my god, this looks amazing.

And, ah, you look amazing. I'm so sorry.

Darren's flight was delayed and then the babysitter was late.

And it just... Is he here?

Oh, yeah, he's just getting stuff from the car.

Hey, hey, you've got this, OK?

I'm so nervous about telling him, Chaya.

Oh, hey.

Oh, I'm loving everything about this.

Hot elf is definitely a vibe.

(CHUCKLES) Hot elf.

Not elf. You look really good.

Thank you. Guess what? I brought some friends.

Oh! Hey!

Yes!

Oh, look at you. Oh!

You look great. Thank you.

Incredible. Thank you for coming.

Pop, you look great.

You really do.

Thank you. That post hospital glow.

(LAUGHTER)

So, can I get a drink around here or what?

Mum, it's midday.

Yeah, it's Christmas.

Yes, of course, of course.

Come with me, I'll get you something.

OK? Yeah.

Here, I've got a seat for you.

Eliza, are you on your way to the P1?

No.

Turns out the false alarm was a false alarm.

Uh, you'll have to find another crew.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Hey, the first one was 75 seconds, postictal five minutes.

This one started about two minutes ago.

Oh! A little help with the couch, Nige.

Let's get oxygen on. Yep.

I'll get access and give five of midaz.

Hey Nige, can you just give us a hand with the O2?

Sure. Thanks, mate.

He's not faking this. No.

Sugar is through the floor, 1.7.

Dextrose 50%, 50ml please.

Do you think in all the prep

for Christmas he forgot to eat?

1.7 blood sugar is a long time without eating.

What else could it be? His liver?

Endocrine maybe, or infection?

Doesn't explain the chest pains.

What about ACE inhibitors or beta blockers?

Hey Nige? Yep.

Can you check, uh, the bathroom and the fridge for any medications?

Sweet.

(TENSE MUSIC)

It's alright, David. You're going to be alright.

This is what I call the best of both worlds.

You hedging your bets, big guy?

Oh, sorry. I, um, just got told to...

Never mind.

Hey? Yeah?

Are you OK? Yeah, why?

I don't know, you seem kind of distracted.

No, sorry. I'm sorry.

Hey.

Oh. Hi.

Hello, hey. Hi.

Sorry. Poppy, this is Darren.

Hey, nice to meet you.

Oh, so-so this is Darren? Mm.

Yeah, well played.

Sorry. Do you want to sit?

Ah, please, thank you.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

everyone please put your hands together

for Miley High.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) OK.

Whoo!

Merry Christmas Eve, my sexy little elves.

Now, who's ready to get out their wallets

and support our gorgeous friends in Kingsley?

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

But first, who likes a hot, hot Christmas?

Let's go!

# Christmas Is my favourite time of year... #

Whoo!

# Christmas Is my favourite time of year

# I'm keeping out of trouble 'Til the big guy's here

# Santa is my favourite kind of guy

# Santa is my favourite Kind of guy... #

Are they mates now?

# Come and take a seat And I'm gonna tell you why

# Names on the presents For all the girls and boys

# When he comes to town He brings nothing but joy... #

How would you like an all-expenses paid trip

to Mackenzie Island?

Why do I feel like this isn't 'cause I won the raffle?

Come on. Have you got a bag or something?

I can't find anything for a David

but I've got a Gary Henderson though.

Brother? Husband?

I'd say husband.

We're pushed for time folks. We need to go soon.

His heart rate's lower than I'd like.

I'd prefer to keep him here a bit longer.

Well, no ACE inhibitors or beta blockers.

Maybe you're right. Maybe he just hasn't eaten.

There's nothing in the fridge.

Wait, wasn't he planning a big Christmas lunch tomorrow?

Yeah.

There's these too.

Simvastatin and glucagon.

We shouldn't be checking the cupboards.

(TENSE MUSIC)

That's it. David, where is Gary? Do you want us to call him for you?

How much did you take? What?

Your husband's insulin pen. How much did you inject?

I-I didn't. Enough!

You've been lying to us all day

and it could cost you your life

if you're not honest with me right now.

Five units.

Well, you've got your trip on the plane.

I hope you're happy. Nigel, how soon can we leave?

Sorry, 14:05. We're out of hours.

Back up crew's about three hours away.

I just wanted you to take me seriously.

You know, what I take seriously?

The fact that another patient may be dead

because you wasted our time

and resources by pretending to be sick

and now we're stuck here.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. I...

I'm just so lonely.

I'm just so lonely since Gary died.

(SOBS)

I couldn't... I couldn't do it alone anymore.

I just couldn't do Christmas without him.

(SOBS)

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Hey, Dave. Dave, hey.

Mate, I'm, I'm guessing with your blood sugar,

you must be pretty bloody hungry, right?

Um, we're stuck here.

Why don't I make us something to eat?

You reckon?

I didn't know Gary was dead.

Even so, you can't really...

Can't really what? Talk to a patient like that?

I know, I can't talk to a patient like that.

Yeah.

Oh, my god, I can't believe I just spoke to a patient like that.

It's alright.

It's not like you yelled at him, really.

I mean, he definitely got the point.

Is-is everything alright? Uh, are you OK?

I'm fine.

I can only find tinned peas.

Here are some spuds. Not green yet.

I'm not fine.

Well, it's-it's Christmas

and you're away from home and Henry...

Look, Henry I miss.

Of course I do but...

When you're not welcome at your own work function

because the entire town might turn on you, that hurts.

Yeah, but hey, that will pass.

And what about the next difficult decision I have to make?

What happens then?

I'm going to go and re-check David's blood sugar.

Um, what about the freezer?

Oi. Now, we're talking.

Hey, how did we get tasked

from the desert to an island in the Spencer Gulf?

'Cause I'm the only pilot who's sober

and not dressed as Santa and qualified

to land on that runway.

Sorry if we're dragging you away from anyone.

Look Chaya said they were just casual.

Then why haven't you told her yet?

Look, just please don't tell her anything

until I figure out what's going on.

Hey, what have we got?

An avoidant nurse.

Male tourist, 50s,

fell off a jet ski in shallow water and hit his head.

Daughter dragged him ashore.

Any numbness in his limbs?

I don't know, ACC spoke to them.

Well, have you tried calling?

Bad reception

and the daughter speaks limited English

plus I've been a little busy trying to locate a life raft.

It's up here. Took it to Kangaroo Island once.

Is his spine up there too?

They were casual.

Wheels up in five.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

You should stay here for New Year's.

We're gonna have a dance, aren't we?

Ah, I've got to get back to Dubbo for a New Year's thing.

With, um, what's your girlfriend's name?

Uh, no, we're still figuring it out.

Her name?

No, no, her-her status. Oh.

Alright, well, I'm going to go get some food

and then I'll meet up with you guys in a bit.

Yep.

You hate Christmas, so you must really like her.

I do.

Plus, I'm really scared of the elf.

Yeah, yeah.

So, how are you feeling?

I'm good, you know, a bit-bit tired but...

Is that the, um, is that the kidney or something else?

Some... someone else?

Dad told me your news.

Oh.

Congrats. Sorry.

Oh. I mean, how are you?

Cameron, are you... are you excited?

Ah, Cameron doesn't have a whole bunch to do with it.

Oh, right, sorry.

Well, yeah, but it's not like it can...

Well, you don't need to take a paternity test or anything.

No. We were careful obviously.

No, I mean, you don't need to take a paternity test

because I'm pretty sure it's yours.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas boys and girls.

Oh, I've got a big sack full of presents

for all you special Kingsley children.

Is it cold in the North Pole?

Oh, it's so cold, there's frost on my beard.

(LAUGHTER)

Here's one for you and one for you and...

Thank you, Santa. Thank you so much.

You're such a good boy.

What have I got in here?

Is your name Poppy?

Yeah.

Ah, we have something extra special for you.

Merry Christmas.

What? (APPLAUSE)

A running blade.

Oh, my god.

It's the blade I wanted.

What? That was you.

It was. Santa, it was Santa.

Come here.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Matty, are we prepped for landing?

Nearly.

Mate, go easy with your Shrek fingers.

What, you're scared I'll crease your spare undies?

No, there's a sculpture in there...

a Chrissy present.

Oh, is that from Sal?

Ah, no, Naomi actually.

Just a little thank you for the clinic.

Cabin prepped for landing.

Copy.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Pupils mid-size but sluggish. Could be a head injury.

Tanika, how fast was your dad going when he fell off the jet ski?

When Pradeep fell, going fast or slow?

Slow. He...

then fall and hit his head.

Uh, does Pradeep have any allergies or medical issues?

Any medicine? Ah, no, no medicine.

Alright Miz, pass the TXA

and the steroids in case of spinal shock.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. He has problem with, uh, blood.

Blood?

What's the problem? Haemophilia? Leukaemia?

I don't know.

Alright, hold off on the steroids.

Why?

Well, 'cause if it's leukaemia

or lymphoma,

it could cause tumour lysis and shut down his organs.

OK, I'm going to try the family on the sat phone.

OK.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Can we call your mum?

No, enlargement of the liver or spleen.

OK.

No, lymph glands or bruising?

Haemoglobin's a little low but PT/INR looks alright.

Not...

Not answering?

Wayne, there's no answer from the family.

Well, whatever the blood issue is,

I don't think it's leukaemia.

Let's just restart the steroids and risk it.

If we wait for a major hospital, it could be too late.

What if it's haemophilia?

Then he could already be bleeding out

and we've got even less time.

So, let's just tube him and get back to Adelaide.

We're going to go to the hospital so let's get your bag.

You know, what?

This is actually really good.

I've made meals from much less.

David, I'm really sorry.

Mm. No, no, no. I'm sorry.

You've probably got families to get back to.

Five brothers, man.

This is nice and peaceful.

My son is all grown up now.

He's studying in Canberra.

And my niece and I avoid Chrissy at all costs.

Not married?

Just hasn't worked out that way.

You know, I wasted five years

waiting for Gary to ask me out.

Five extra years we could have spent making dinner,

singing carols together.

Things don't just work out.

You have to make them work.

I am so sorry for banging on about my Christmas.

I totally forgot how hard it must be for you and Taylor.

Oh, no, it's fine.

It's become quite a fun tradition, pizza, 'Terminator 2'.

(LAUGHS)

You've done an amazing job with her, you know that?

Apart from pissing off

then totally missing a chronic disease

and a pregnancy.

You needed a fresh start.

And I of all people can't criticise that.

It wasn't so much a fresh start as avoidance I think.

Of what?

Um...

I don't know.

What?

Of-of you I guess.

Me?

Yeah, look I, um I don't want to make things awkward.

I just...

I should have been honest with you, instead of running away.

Pete...

Because I've still got, um, feelings for you.

A lot of them actually, and I'd kick myself

if there was a chance that you felt the same

and I was too chicken shit to say anything.

So, uh, this is... this is me saying something.

What do you um...

What are you... what are you thinking?

I, uh, um,

I think it's Christmas

and you're lonely

and the feelings that you've shown me up

until this point haven't been exactly warm

and, um,

I, uh, I'm happy.

I, um, I'm-I'm really happy.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

OK. I'm sorry about that.

It's a Christmas miracle.

Pilot and plane on the way from Dubbo to pick us up.

Hey.

I'll go pack the gear. Yeah.

Oh, right.

(LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)

Sats are lower, BP's down to 72 systolic.

Something seems off.

A spinal epidural hematoma?

It's rare.

No, not in people with haemophilia.

If it was SSEH

we'd have to go to Adelaide for MRI and surgery.

But if we don't do anything then the spinal cord compression

could be irreversible.

Well, there's not a lot else we can do.

A cervical epidural puncture?

No.

I've-I've read case reports of fresh hematomas being drained.

We turn him on his side,

a needle between the processes of the C spine

and see if blood comes out.

It's risky on a plane, Matty.

Then we fly back to Port Andrew and do it on the ground there.

We still have to get him up in the air afterwards.

One bump in turbulence, could come out.

If we don't do anything, then he's paralysed anyway, right?

If it is an epidural hematoma.

I think it is.

I'll call Neurosurgical.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Merry Christmas, Santa.

I haven't done this for so long.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my god, no, no, no!

You saved me. I think you need a glass of water.

You-you did nothing.

You're beautiful. When did you get so good looking?

I don't remember.

She seems up?

Yeah.

I think it's good for her to let her hair down a bit.

She's definitely doing that.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Hey, congratulations on all this by the way.

You've done an amazing job.

Oh, thanks, thanks.

Hey, I know...

I know I went kind of hard

on the let's like keep it casual vibe

but would you want to,

I don't know, like go on a real,

actual date with me sometime?

That's really sweet

but, uh, I'm seeing someone actually.

Oh, of course you are. Sorry.

Oh, no, it's-it's quite new

so, I don't really know what it is yet.

Oh, no, no, no.

You don't need to... It's all good.

You don't need to explain yourself to me.

Like, I don't know, who is she?

Can I take her?

Oh, it's a he.

Oh, sorry.

I-I don't know why I assumed...

Sorry. No, why-why would you?

Cool.

Your shout, tight arse.

Yeah, it's my shout. Did, did you want-want something?

I'm OK.

Is that it? Where's mine?

Oh, I've got something for you.

Ooh, hey.

Are you right there, Saint Nick?

Sorry, I think I underestimated the amount of polyester.

(CHUCKLES)

Pete? You headed back?

Yeah, yeah, we're on our way.

I just wanted to talk to you about those, um, those earrings.

Peter Piper.

Yeah, one, one.

What earrings?

The ones that Ryan got Eliza.

You can't let...

You-you can't let him give them to her.

What? Why not?

Because Ed gave her diamond earrings after he cheated on her.

He did. I totally forgot.

What's he supposed to do? It's Christmas Eve.

Well, when do Henry's uni holidays finish?

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

# Oh, what fun it is to ride

# In a one horse open sleigh

# Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh... #

I marked the area the neurosurg gave us.

Just re-check his neuro obs once more before we start.

We checked them. Just check them again, please.

Um, both pupils are blown.

Um, maybe there's a brain bleed?

Why both pupils?

Babi! Babi! Grab the midaz.

They're taking care of him, OK?

They've got him. It's OK, it's OK.

Show me some photos.

Is this you guys?

It's OK, it's OK.

Midaz in.

Uh, haematoma could compress the spinal cord and cause a seizure.

No, it doesn't feel right.

What do you think it is then?

Just give me a minute.

There's something we haven't thought of.

Tanika, how was your dad before the crash?

How... anything strange happen?

He was...

he was asthir aniyamit.

Do-do you know why?

What happened before, just before he fell?

Wayne, I think they were on the reef.

On her phone there are photos of them on there.

Can we... can we look at your phone, Tanika?

Shells.

Did a shell sting him?

No.

What about like a-a fish with spikes?

Or a jellyfish?

No. Chhota oktopas.

Octopus. Octopus. Octopus?

Yes, yes, yes.

Did it have bright blue rings on it? This colour?

Yes. He pick up.

Blue ringed octopus.

Let's check for bites.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yeah, there, see.

That's it?

Small but very venomous.

You can get bitten and not even realise.

So, is there an anti-venom or...

No, not for this.

Just lots of fluids to flush it out. Maybe dialysis

What we definitely don't need to do is put a needle in his spine.

I think your dad's going to be OK.

What so, are you mainly sick or is it...

is it pain?

Yeah, I've got a bit of pain.

They gave me pain medication

but I don't want to take it in case it hurts the baby.

Does that mean that you-you want to have it?

I honestly have no idea.

I've always wanted to be a mum

but there's so many risks, with my kidney.

Sorry.

Hi, everyone,

um, but I just wanted to say

thank you so much for like all of this

and for the... the... the running blade.

Um, seeing, uh, Poppy smile again

after everything is just...

Yeah, she's always been a really determined little thing.

And, um, her brother Joe was,

uh, very determined to protect her.

And actually there was this one time

where Poppy wanted to climb the windmill

but it was really windy and Joe told her not to.

But she just...

She was... she was fast.

And, um, so she shot off and he chased her up there

and he grabbed her foot and he nearly like ripped it off.

Um, and she-she just kicked-kicked him back

and he fell down and um...

Mum.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm...

Mum, come on, you've had enough.

Don't be such a grinch.

She's also a determined party pooper, everyone.

Mum, you're embarrassing yourself. Get down.

Well, I was just telling them about Joe.

Because he's, I mean, he did exist.

Mum, you're pretending right now.

OK, you're pretending like you didn't spend the last year

fighting with each other.

So, can you please just get down?

You two fought like all the time.

You pissed each other off, so can you stop pretending.

You don't get to create the narrative out of nowhere.

We can just leave.

Poppy?

Poppy?

Pop?

Ahh! Anna.

Anna.

Guys, please back off.

Ryan, call an ambulance.

Just everybody stay still. There's lots of glass here.

We need an ambulance at the Bowls Club immediately.

Guys, lots of room please.

Can somebody grab some bar towels, please?

Uh, do you want a lift back to the party

or are you just gonna avoid Chaya forever?

Do you want me to not clean up the sand?

I do but I also want you to clean up the other mess

you're making in my workplace, with my friend.

You know what?

If I was you, I'd worry about what's in my own boyfriend's Go Bag

before getting all high and mighty.

What's that supposed to mean?

Thalassemia.

That was the dad's blood issue.

Nothing to do with the fall.

Great.

I messed up again. Good to know.

Well, at least we didn't need the life raft.

No, no, don't, don't, don't.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Awesome.

I just slid on some glass.

Oh, it's Anna,

she's had a fall and she has lacerations.

You'd better have a look. She's a little worse for wear.

Oh, god, what are you doing here?

May I take a look at your arm?

Oh, do you... do you want to cut it off too?

Leave it here.

Take it easy, Anna, OK?

Anna, I'm truly sorry that what happened, happened.

That's your apology?

After you chose that drug addict over my son?

Well, we don't know that the driver was taking drugs.

What-what are you talking about?

We don't know what happened.

What, so the police are lying?

No.

Or maybe you're lying to protect yourself?

Can we just get Anna to the hospital

and then we'll find a time to talk about this later?

Can you please tell the ED

that she has an IgA deficiency and her blood type is O.

O? Are you sure?

I think I know my own blood type.

Eliza, can I have a word?

I only came because I saw the ambulance.

I asked you to stay away for one day.

But it isn't just one day, is it?

Chaya, this is my home too.

How long am I meant to walk around on eggshells?

Tiptoe?

You kind of just stomped all over everything

that I've built with her.

It's her first Christmas without Joe, OK?

She's just trying to hold it together

for her daughter.

Poppy's not her daughter.

Sorry, what?

Anna's blood type is O.

Poppy's is AB.

They don't match.

You OK?

I don't need you to protect me. I can look after myself.

I know you can. I-I know.

You are the force of nature, you know.

It's-it's just

I actually kind of have a little bit of a crush on you.

In fact, um,

Europeans do their gifts on Christmas Eve, right?

Is that so? Yeah.

(MESSAGE CHIMES)

What is this?

I do apologise for the lack of formality.

There were a few last minute logistics involved.

(LAUGHS)

Is this the Great Barrier Reef?

Yeah, yeah.

I've always wanted to see it.

Ah, when-when do we go?

Well, as much as I'd love to, they're actually for you and Henry.

Uh, it's your first weekend of and Henry still has uni holidays so,

but they are fully refundable if you...

This is the most thoughtful gift that anyone has ever given me.

Ah, here she is.

You ready to go home and watch 'Terminator'

and forget Jesus was ever born?

Um, actually, Pete,

Poppy really needs a place to stay tonight.

Do you mind if I go with her instead?

Ah, oh, no, yeah, of course. Yeah.

Hey, do you remember how much Mum loved Christmas?

Yeah, I do, yeah.

All her little things like the tree and the punch and...

Cracker game.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Do you think Christmas comes back

when you have kids of your own?

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yeah.

I reckon it probably does.

Right.

Oh, what a nightmare. What happened?

Poor Chaya. Look, she's behind the bar.

Go say hi.

Hey. Just came to pick up Darren.

I can't believe it's all gone to shit.

I'm so sorry. I know how much you put into it.

Yeah, just a typical Chaya Christmas really, isn't it?

And to top it all off... Yeah.

..Caleb rejected me.

And he's seeing a guy.

What's that?

What?

That look.

Do you know who it is?

Ah...

Wait. It's not Matty?

Um...

Oh, Graham's right. This is a really good movie.

No, sit. Rest.

Hi.

Hey. Wait, are you OK?

Oh, yeah, yeah, I was just... I was watching a movie.

Right. What's up?

I just... I just wanted to say that whatever you choose to do,

I'd-I'd like to support you.

From, you know, as far or as close as you'll,

uh, want me to be.

What about Dubbo? And Dubbo girl?
