Give me your glasses. I'm gonna
glue them to your face.

I am definitely not
giving you my glasses.

One, two, three.

Ow! Oh!

I'm sorry, Poppy,
but you're banned from the ball.

What am I supposed
to tell her mum, hey?

What, that she may as well just
turn around and go back home?

Yeah. Tell her to take
her daughter with her.

Jan said that I am
my mother's daughter.

I want to go to law school.
I want to be a lawyer like her.

GEORGE: What are you actually
doing here, Jan?

I'm trying to help.

You've got two baby boys
at home, not even a year old,

and you run away
every opportunity you get.

-So says the father of the year.
-Where are you going?

I think we have both said
quite enough for one evening.

FIONA:
This whole republic thing,

it's so that they can sneak in
through our little council

and rezone
a whole bunch of land.

-Who's "they"?
-Big Mac and Vince.

Screwing us all, selling clean,
green Weld down the river.

Let's do it.

Publish.

You do know this is like
a "no going back" decision?

GEORGE:
We all have these moments

when we're standing
on a precipice,

and we know that if we step
off it, there's no going back,

all your possible futures
erased with that one step.

They can seem insignificant
at the time,

these life-changing moments.

It may not be until years later
that you look back

and realize this was the day,
the hour, the second...

Going live in five,
four, three, two, one...

that my inevitable destiny
was set in motion.

-Is it actually that bad?
-Big Mac wants to go to Mars?

I'll boot him
all the way to Mars.

I don't see how they can build
a space station

or anything on iwi land.

FIONA: An iwi is?

Is a tribe or a Maori community.
I know that.

-Oh!
-Kia ora.

Which is where Ngahuia comes in.

And Ngahuia is quite high up
in our iwi,

so she would have
granted the consent.

How long
have they been planning this?

Actually, I think a while.

It was back before the wedding,

when you were sleeping
on the couch at my place.

That couch still going spare?

Oh, Woody, you and Tracey
will sort out your differences.

If only we had an insider
at the council.

Someone who would do
some investigating for us.

There's a much simpler solution.
We'll just ask Big Mac.

I think you'll find that
we're worrying about nothing.

He loves this town. He's not
gonna sell us down the river.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

[ Laughs ] Yeah.
No problem, George.

See you then.

Tell me again.

Fiona found some of
our confidential documents.

Because you left them
lying around?

No. No, they were
in my undies draw.

Why was Fiona in your...

Oh, I don't want to know.

Sorry, I still don't know
what we're doing here.

Just look for anything
space-station related, okay?

-Let's do it.
-Okay.

I'll keep watch.
You go.

Hi. Tom.
How are you?

-Fine, thank you, Hannah.
-Oh, great!

You have business at the council

when Sean's away
on paternity leave?

Oh, that baby, though, eh?
How cute is it?

TOM: Very.

We're okay.
Let's just keep looking.

Is there a reason
you are loitering?

-Is loitering a crime?
-Well, it can be, yes.

Oh, okay. Well, bye.
[ Laughs ]

Bye.

So, Dad invited her over
so she could be here

when I go to the ball,
except now I'm not going.

Oh.
Yeah, I think I just found...

Just take pics
of everything you can.

I just don't want her to know

that I've been scrapping
with anyone.

She thinks I've made
heaps of friends.

You've made one.

I am so, so sorry
for what I said.

I didn't mean it.

You know I care about Poppy.
I think she's a great kid.

I know, I know, I know.
I...

I get it, Trace.

Mm, I missed you last night.

I know.
I hate sleeping on the couch.

It's bloody hard, eh?

Yeah, I know.

It's like all of a sudden
we have something

to fight about, you know?

Before, it was just, like,
who left the milk out,

or what movie we were gonna see.

Oh, I meant the couch was hard.

But yeah, yeah, the parenting
thing is hard too, yeah.

So, are you gonna stick
to your guns on the school ball?

-Woody...
-I'm just...

I'm worried about what Mary's
gonna think, that's all.

I will take full responsibility.

Or...

we could just say
she's going to the ball.

Well, welcome home.

We had to get out
of our place anyway.

The owner wants to rent it out
for exorbitant rent over summer.

That's myproblem.

Summer's coming, and the rent
everywhere goes crazy.

No, no.
No need to thank us.

But we did some investigating
at the council.

-You didn't?
-Arlo, that is ridiculous.

But they found some stuff.

Arlo took pics
of all these documents.

Yeah. Don't know
if it's helpful, but...

GEORGE: We're seeing Big Mac
in the morning.

There's no need to go
all Maxwell Smart about this.

-Who?
-Delete the pictures, Arlo.

But we haven't even
looked at them yet.

And you're not going to.
It's illegal.

Yeah, yeah.
Come on, guys.

Katie, um, look,
about your housing crisis...

I wouldn't call it a crisis.
Yet.

I know there's no room here,

but why don't we look
for a house that does have room?

You know, I can sell up,
get somewhere bigger.

That is a lovely offer,

but you're not
selling your house for me.

I want to, Katie.

Monty has found something
in our price range,

and we're looking
at it tomorrow.

If it's in Mum's price range,
it could be a hovel.

Billy.

We will be fine.

Shay, are you going
to the school ball?

Aww.
Are you asking her?

I'm only going to school to get
the credits to get to uni.

[ School bell rings ]

Oh, my God.

Okay.
Just ignore that.

What happened, Shay?

Did you fail at being
a checkout girl?

And sit.

Okay, everyone, good morning,
and welcome to our new person.

Now, I know we're all excited
about the school ball on Friday.

Not Poppy.

But we need to concentrate
because also on Friday

we have the NCEA assessment,

which we all know about and
have started preparing for, yes?

No, not you, Shay.
You've had no time to study.

No, I want to do it.

Maybe your baby brother can
help you with the hard stuff,

like spelling your name
at the top of the paper.

-Lindsay.
-[ Laughter ]

Sorry, miss.

So we'll spend today
going over any questions

anyone has
ahead of the assessment.

Weld is about to make
New Zealand

the next nation
to go into space.

I'm still trying to work out
whether or not this is a joke.

There are countries
that will pay serious money

for us
to launch their satellites.

Weld's in the perfect position,

with the point stretching out
over the Tasman Sea.

BIG MAC: What exactly
is your problem, Fiona?

Your Republic of Weld nonsense,

getting us all united
so that you could distract us

from what was actually going on.

NGAHUIA:
This is no smokescreen.

If Stafford had taken over,

it would've been hard
to get the consent.

As for you, selling your people
down the river.

This is good for my iwi.

It is money for education,
health, housing.

Where's the housing meant to go?

You're using all the land!

I think what we're wondering is,
if it's all so positive,

why the secrecy?

BIG MAC: Because people
would have got up in arms,

a bit like Fiona is now.

FIONA: It's not about
the good of the town.

It's about what it's always
about for the McNamaras...

Ego and money.

Fiona, Fiona.

Look, for all his faults,

Big Mac loves Weld
and the people in it.

He wouldn't do anything to...

Hey.

Sorry,
can we just have a minute?

Stay where you are, George.

Okay.

Look, I am very sorry
I wasn't honest with you

about why I was in Weld.

Apology accepted.
Have a nice life.

[ Sighs ]

I don't have time
for it, George.

I'm ready for forever
and for a family and it's...

It's got to be right, yeah.

Just don't get
my hopes up next time.

Amazing views.
Lot of character.

Excellent outdoor
entertaining...

Monty.
Cut the bull.

Look, once summer's
come and gone,

there'll be a lot more
properties back on the market.

[ Cow moos ]

This is awesome!

I guess we're taking it, then.

Let's do the paperwork.
Let's get you in there.

Hi.
What's going on?

ZAC: I'll just get the stuff
from the ute.

Is that where you've been?
With Zac?

Not "with him" with him.
I'm not that much of a slapper.

-No one said you're a slapper.
-No, just a crap mum.

Jan, I didn't mean...

You're right, George.
I have been trying.

I really have, but, uh...

It doesn't come naturally to me.

You had a traumatic experience
at their birth.

That's got to affect
the bonding process.

-Maybe.
-No maybe.

You have to see someone,
speak to someone.

I am.
I will.

Stevo said to take
a couple of extra days,

catch up with my friends,
go home refreshed.

You don't want to stay here?
You can, you know?

You've got a full house.
It's fine.

I'm sorry
I called you a crap mum.

Well, some things
only old friends

can get away with telling you.

[ Horn honks ]

What's going on, mate?

Accommodation issues
at my place.

Did... Did Fiona calm down?

I wouldn't say that.

You know it's not me
she's angry with, eh?

It's about Vince Culley.

Any excuse to run away
from a romance.

That's good
amateur psychology, Big Mac.

-Oh, you know I'm right.
-Yeah, possibly.

But I thought
I should write a story

about the rocket launchers,
just set people's mind at ease.

Look, this venture is gonna
revitalize this town, George.

Don't publish anything yet.

Now, I've got to go into
Auckland on business, so...

Space-station business?

Yeah.
Personal, unfortunately.

It'll be fine as soon
as I've thrown some money

at the problem.

When I come back, I will give
you a full and frank interview.

I'll look forward to it.

Perfect drive.
No traffic.

Where's Mum?

She's just
putting her stuff away.

-Sweetie, hi!
-Hi!

Oh, my goodness,
it's so good to see you!

-POPPY: It's so good to see you.
-You look beautiful!

Mum, meet Tracey.

-Hey! How's it going?
-So good to meet you.

Oh! Hey.

Thank you so much for
taking care of my little girl.

-Oh, it's been a pleasure.
-Liar.

Hey, I was actually thinking,

do you think
it would be all right

if Pops has the day off tomorrow

so we can show Mary around?

-Is that okay with you?
-Oh. We've got that NCEA thing.

What, she can't
make it up later?

It's not really how it works.

It's okay, Dad.
You and Mum can go without me.

-You'll still have fun.
-Sure we will.

Yeah.
Hey, we could go for a surf.

Okay, fine.
[ Laughs ]

WOODY:
So you had a good flight, eh?

MARY: Good, actually.

I can't believe I'm sitting with
my beautiful little girl!

[ Cellphone rings ]

-Hi.
-GEORGE: Hiya.

I'm coming for a visit,

but I think Monty's given me
the wrong address.

I'm... I'm here in this paddock.

But there's nothing here
except for this old house truck.

You've got the right address.

-These are beautiful.
-Do you have a vase?

Yeah, in a box somewhere.

Do you have running water?

There's a little tank.

This place has got
everything I need.

It's a pretty romantic place
to live, don't you think?

-No, I don't.
-George...

I think it's stupid, Katie.
Don't move in here.

I like it.

Oh, come on, Katie. You do not.
It's small, it's dark.

There's a definite smell
of mice and...

I can handle the odd rodent.

If I'm happy,
then you should be happy.

I don't believe you're happy.
I believe you are...

stubborn and possibly a martyr,

and I don't want you living
in a gypsy caravan.

It's not a gypsy caravan,
it's a house truck.

Who do you think you are,
telling me what to do?

Well, I'm the man
who loves you, Katie.

I love you, and I won't have you
lose your daughter over me.

Well, I said we'll get
a bigger place.

-There'll be room for everyone.
-Shay doesn't want that.

She wants her dad and her
brother, and I'm okay with that.

Yeah, well, anyone can see...
Oh!

It's just not right, Katie.

That is your opinion.
It's right for me.

And if you're gonna come here
and be negative,

then don't come here.

Katie's got a new house.

ARLO:
Well, isn't that a good thing?

It's a tiny gypsy caravan.

-[ Laughs ]
-It's not funny, Shay.

Sorry. I just had visions
of clowns and lions.

No, just damp and mice.

She shouldn't be living
like that.

Well, why is she?

Because she's stubborn
and she's proud,

and she thinks
that certain people

don't want her
living here with us.

Do you want me
to move out again?

No, of course not.

MARTY: Dad said this is gonna be
good for Weld.

Oh, it will.
All the jobs we're creating.

We're building
a new access road.

That'll be the first thing.
12 houses to demo.

Properties to clear,
the road to build.

Which houses are you gonna demo?

The block
between Shackleton Hill

and Hillary's Stairs.

That's Katie's place.

Yeah, well, the house she rents,

which has unofficially been
on the market for years.

You know that.

What's the problem, Monty?
It's just a house.

Well, I don't sell houses,
Ngahuia.

I sell homes.

The fish of the day is tarakihi.
The soup is chili tomato.

Before you kick me out...

I won't if you're
a paying customer.

If you've just come
to bother me, however...

I've fallen for you, Fiona.

I fell for you after that
one night back in 2014.

I will never lie again.

From now on an open book

because I want
the full deal with you...

The house, the kids,
the pet dog.

If you like dogs.

The whole picket fence,
then, eh?

VINCE: Yes.

We've got a future together.
If you just say yes.

The thing about destiny

is we assume
that we're in charge of it.

Those insignificant moments
which become significant,

sometimes they're
out of your hands.

While you're going about
your business,

another bunch of random moments
are falling into place.

BILLY: Mum!

What?

-[ Mouse squeaking ]
-There's a mouse in here.

[ Sighs ]

I don't think anything is gonna
go in at this time of night.

Nothing's going in anyway.

Call it a night, Shay.

[ Knock on door ]

Hello?

Sorry to get you
out of bed, George.

I wasn't in bed.
I couldn't sleep.

You put Katie
in a gypsy caravan.

I didn't put her there.
She chose to rent there.

Look, George, I've made
a very disturbing discovery.

That real estate agents
don't have any morals?

That stings, George.

I'm sorry. I'm just upset
about Katie, that's all.

Well, so am I, especially now
that I know the truth.

Which is?

Katie's house is being bowled
to make away for an access road,

along with 11 others bought
by my father and my partner.

-Who told you this?
-Ngahuia.

But she's Katie's fr...

Katie's been in that house
for 20 years.

-The art gallery, everything.
-Yes.

Bloody Big Mac.

Good for the locals, he said.
Revitalize our town, he said.

But how, you tell me,

is booting people out of
their homes good for them?

It's not.
That's my point.

Arlo.

[ Avalanche City's "Inside Out"
plays ]

[ Knock on door ]

Sorry to wake you.

Those photos from the council
I asked you to delete,

have you deleted them?

No, I hadn't
gotten 'round to it.

-Why? What's going on?
-That is about to become clear.

Happy writing, George.

Why else do you think
I'd come 'round to the editor

of the News of the Weld'shouse
in the dead of night?

-[ Claps arm ]
-Do what you must.

♪ We are coming last, baby,
this is all done ♪

Go across.
Yeah.

There you go.

-Thanks.
-Good night.

[ Cellphone rings ]

♪ We've put us to the tests,
and we've failed each one ♪

♪ Please stop me when I leave ♪

-Yep.
-Ike, it's George.

I need you to meet me
at the office.

♪ And this is inside out ♪

Let's do it.

Publish.

All right.

Going live in five,
four, three, two, one.

You know no one's
gonna see it, right?

It's like 3:00 in the morning.

It'll make nice
breakfast reading for them

when they wake up.

A home is not just
bricks and mortar.

It's where you put
the things you love

and the people you care about.

I knew there was a reason

Ngahuia was
still hanging around.

A reason other than Monty,
you mean?

So, what right does anyone
have to take that home away?

For the so-called greater good?

People are being kicked out of
their houses.

For a space station?

I told you this town was weird.

Because 20 years might not seem
much to a property developer

with dollar signs in his eyes...

There you go, beautiful.

But then,
people motivated by money

rarely consider
the people below.

♪ This is inside out ♪

When a woman who has lived
in her home for 20 years,

raised a son there,
laughed, cried, loved,

lived within those four walls...

Whoa!
George has gone full emo.

Well, I think
it's very powerful.

When a woman finds herself
ejected, on the street,

in a paddock,

in a truck you wouldn't
put a dog in,

then the people who put her
there to line their own pockets,

those people, they should be
bloody ashamed of themselves.

KATIE: Shay?

Hi.
How did the exam go?

It didn't.
I left.

Ah.

It's too hard!

Well, it's only been two days.
Of course it's too hard.

It isn't my thing, Dad.

Yeah, I know, sweetie.

So, what is?

What happened to our agreement?

I'm driving back from Auckland

with the phone
ringing off the hook.

I was gonna give you
a full and frank interview.

Would it have been, though?
Full and frank?

I didn't know
about Katie's house.

That's Vince's department.

It's your vanity project,
your responsibility.

Yeah, News of the Weld
is my business,

which you've used to preempt
an important announcement

and color people's attitudes.

You give me one reason
why I shouldn't fire you.

Because I quit.

As you wish.

Good day.

Guess that makes me
the breadwinner?

MARY: Do you guys know of
a limo hire company in Weld?

I was thinking I would
shout Poppy and Arlo.

Oh...

No. No, Mary.
No, you don't have to do that.

Yeah, come on.
They've got to arrive in style.

And then you and Tracey
can share it too.

I really want to do something
nice for you guys, you know?

Okay.

Mary, um,
I've been lying to you.

About what?

Poppy's been banned
from the ball.

Tracey had to discipline her
after an incident at the school.

-Yeah.
-What incident?

Well, Poppy took to
Lindsay McNamara's hair

with a pair of scissors.

To be fair,
Lindsay's a nightmare.

WOODY: Yeah.

Okay, I haven't heard about
any of this.

I mean, she said
everything was fine.

WOODY: Yeah, she didn't
want you to worry.

-And neither did we.
-Woody.

Okay, so first you lie
about her going to the ball.

What were you gonna have her do,

just get ready
and pretend to go?

-Pretty much.
-Right.

Yeah, it's just, Mary,
you came all this way over here,

and I wanted you to think
that I was handling it.

You know, being a good dad.

When we made the call
for Poppy to come and live here,

we did it in a split second.

We didn't really
think it through.

No, but Mary, it's been
great up until now, honestly.

Woody, I miss her.

I miss her, Woody,

and I think it's time
for Poppy to come home.

[ Sighs ]

Wow.

You look beautiful.

For someone living somewhere
you wouldn't put a dog?

I'm a writer.
Sometimes I have to be dramatic.

How could you do that,
tell the world how tragic I am?

You're not tragic.
I didn't mention your name.

It's Weld. You don't have to
mention my name.

It's embarrassing.

I'm a grown woman,
and I can't afford a house

that doesn't have wheels.

-I'm sorry.
-Let's just go, shall we?

I did it because I love you,
because I hate what's happened.

I quit my job over this, Katie.

-What?
-Well, I can't work for...

-Why did you do that?
-Well, why is that a problem?

I'm not a bloody maiden
who needs rescuing.

Well, I disagree, actually
because I keep asking you

to come and live with me
and my family,

and you keep saying no.

I don't need charity!

And, actually,
now you've quit your job,

you can't afford
to be charitable.

Where are you going?
We're going to the ball.

Oh, gorgeous. You wouldn't know
it was the same dress.

Okay, come and have a look,
quick.

See?
I think that one's gorgeous.

-You look nice.
-Yeah.

All right, well,
have fun not at the ball.

Don't worry. What I have planned
is much better.

Shall we?

See you later.
[ Laughs ]

Oh, Billy, looking sharp.

Thanks.

-WOODY: Go crazy, mate.
-Cheers.

Aw, he came on his own.

Yeah, well, he couldn't come
with his mate Poppy, could he?

I might sit this one out.

Woody!

Lindsay, wow, you look amazing.

-Thanks, Miss Dennis.
-Have fun.

Why are you being
so nice to her?

-I have to be nice...
-After what she's done to Poppy?

Woody, we are
the grown-ups here.

Hey, I try and see the good
in everybody, but that girl,

the good is hiding
somewhere deep, deep down.

Okay, and I don't think that
good's ever gonna come out

if people like you
keep letting her get away

with behaving like a little...

Oh, you know what?
I can't do this.

Standing with a smile on my face
while Poppy's missing out.

It's not right, okay? I'm sorry.
I'm going.

Where are you going?

[ Sighs ]
Sorry I'm late.

-Where's he going?
-We had a fight.

Oh, my God.
George and I had a fight too.

Come on.

I think reintroducing the ball
was one of my worst ideas ever.

POPPY:
Got to love an indoor picnic.

Yeah, well, it's New Zealand.

It's gonna rain
at some stage of the night.

[ Chuckles ]
I love it.

So, what did they do
at a school ball anyway?

What, apart from
spiking the punch?

I don't know.
I guess they dance.

Right.

So, do you want to?

Sure.

Give us a beer, thanks, Hannah.

Mm.
Not another ball runaway.

What is going on?

One of those nights, eh?

Katie and I
are having some space.

Right.

Question, men who are married.

How do you know it's time
to pop the question?

Something you want to share,
Monty?

I've made mistakes before.

No one's perfect, Monty.
Everyone has something.

What's your deal-breaker,
Smiler?

I could never go
with a vegetarian.

Yeah, for me,
I reckon it would be

if someone was coming in between
me and my kid.

Come on.
It's not that bad.

I just found my daughter, mate.

I'm not really ready
to lose her.

-Yeah, it won't come to that.
-Yeah, but if it does...

You had one job, Ashley.

I can't believe we have nothing
to spike the punch with.

I don't know
why you bothered coming

without your two dicky friends.

I'm just trying to go
to the bathroom.

Oh, this is
the lamest ball ever.

Yeah, because Arlo
and Poppy aren't here.

Because of you, like always.

You were the mean girl
in preschool,

and you're gonna be the mean old
lady in your old folks' home.

That was awesome.

We're closed.

And you're underage.

What?
Your ball partner stand you up?

No one asked me.

[ Crying ]

Why would they?
They're all scared of me.

Well, yeah, you could try
to be a little bit nicer.

But I'm the town bitch.

Can't change a reputation
you've had since preschool.

And Arlo...

I really loved him.

Well, you'll find someone else.

Doubt it.

I've already done everyone
in Weld.

The happiest I ever was,

was at the beginning
of the year,

at your place with everyone.

Do you ever wish
you could just go back?

To the beginning of the year?

The time you were happiest.

Well, that was in Sydney
when my mum was alive.

Sorry.

Jan asked me to go back
and live with her.

But I don't know.

What?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Yes?

What about?

No.
You can tell me now.

Okay. Okay, fine.

What's up?

Big Mac.
Wouldn't say on the phone.

Thank you for coming.

Fiona asked me to come with her.

Anything you've got to say,
you can say in front of George.

Not really.
It's rather private.

If it's about Vince or you going
in to bat for him, I don't...

No, of course it's not.

Look...

Okay, fine.

Fiona, there's...
There's something...

There's something
you don't know.

Another thing, you mean?

Not long after
you and Robbie were married,

he came to me with a problem.

Money or drugs?

Honestly, I don't care.
He's gone, and I'm glad.

Yes, he's gone,
leaving everyone else

to pick up the bloody pieces.

Grandpa, I can't sleep.

Come on, Robbie.
Back to bed, wee mate.

I was rather hoping to ease
my way into breaking it to you.

Please, just... just wait there.

Maybe this is what
I should do for a living...

Run a drive-a-drunk service.

[ Grunts ]
I am not a drunk.

HANNAH: [ Laughs ]

That's not what you're meant
to do with your life, Hannah.

And why did you give up
at the first hurdle?

Okay, Tom's had one drink and it
seems he's talking nonsense too.

[ Laughing ] Hey!

-See you, Tommy!
-TRACEY: Thanks, guys.

-Tommy!
-[ Door opens ]

-[ Laughs ]
-[ Door closes ]

And what nonsense
were you talking?

Hey? Oh, just about, you know,
moving back to Oz.

And why would
we want to do that?

Well, 'cause Mary's
gonna take Poppy home

on account of us
being bad parents.

She did not say that.

She didn't say that last part,
but it's the truth, ain't it?

No.

But maybe that's what
needs to happen for now.

I mean, we haven't had
any "just us" time, you know?

We're newlyweds, and look at us.

Just come to bed.

We'll talk about it
in the morning.

Nah.
Couch will do me tonight.

Wee man's
a little bit unsettled.

Robbie. Junior?

-Yeah.
-My God.

BIG MAC: It was after
his bloody groom spiel.

I thought he was locked up
in the cop shop in Stafford.

The truth is, we lost him.

He called the next day,

and he was with the young
waitress from the bar.

Classy as hell.

BIG MAC: He was ashamed,
he was regretful,

he knew he'd made a mistake,
and he didn't want to lose you.

I was at home, pregnant,
the night before our wedding...

You were pregnant?

And he was knocking up
the waitress at his stag do?

And then when I lost the baby,
he said,

"Everything happens
for a reason, Fi."

Now I know what that reason is.

'Cause he's a lying,
cheating scumbag

on top of everything else.

I'm so sorry.

GEORGE:
You've got company.

Hey, stay in bed, wee mate.
Come on.

You never said.

About the miscarriage.

Dodged a bullet there,
eh, George,

having a child
with that bastard.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Keypad beeping ]

[ Chimes ]

Hey.
How was the ball?

How was yournight?

-It was excellent.
-Amazing.

I'm just gonna walk Poppy home,
so I'll see you when I get back.

GEORGE:
Good night, Poppy.

Let's go.

Aren't they revolting?

No, they're just lucky.

Did something happen
with you and Katie?

Doesn't matter.

You... You ran away last night.

I heard everything I needed to.

Yeah, not quite.

Um, she's gone... the mother.

You have to be kidding me.

What kind of mother
leaves her own son?

The kind who knows that
she's got a safety net

like I've been
for the last four years.

Yeah, well,
what's gonna happen to him?

I was kind of hoping...

you could tell me, Fiona.

Mary, please don't
take Poppy home.

Woody loves her so much,
and I think...

I think she's a great kid.

She just had the misfortune

of being targeted
by Lindsay McNamara.

What about you and Woody?

You know, it's not really fair
to you guys,

and you're gonna want to have
a family one day.

Oh, we haven't really
talked about that.

Well, you will.
One day you will.

And to be honest...

I miss my girl.

[ Door opens ]

-Woody will be devastated.
-[ Door closes ]

ARLO: Hello?

Hi. Morning.

-Is Poppy awake?
-Yeah, she should be.

I just brought her...

That's very sweet.
Go on through.

[ Knock on door ]

Something tells me
Poppy might be devastated too.

FIONA: He wants me to take
Robbie's wee boy.

-Sorry?
-Big Mac.

The mother's bailed to England
to be with her new bloke.

But what about Robbie?

Well, I wouldn't trust him
to raise a goldfish,

let alone a four-year-old.

Well, you know what they say.

You can't always
get what you want.

The Rolling Stones
say that, yes.

But it's times like this
that I think, well,

maybe you can get what you want,
just not the way you thought.

You think I should
consider this?

I can't think of anyone
who would give

that little boy a better life.

Vince wants me to move in
with him, have a baby.

Before I threw orange juice
in his face.

But, you know,
the offer's there.

It never rains but it pours, eh?

-[ Sighs ]
-Do you love him?

I didn't love the idea
of an anonymous sperm donor,

but you do
what you have to do, right?

But you didn't do it.

Hey, Fiona.

Hi. And bye.

Thanks, George.

What are you up to this morning?

Oh, I might go for a surf.

What about Katie?

Doesn't like surfing.

I mean, what are you going to do
about her and the house truck?

What, you think
I should do something?

I do, because she's
the second love of your life.

Isn't she?

Just as stubborn as the first.

The thing about
a house truck, Dad...

It has wheels.

Thanks for the insight, Shay.

It's been an amazing

I feel like
I couldn't believe my luck.

Sweetie, I don't want to rush
you, but I am a little busy.

Okay, well, I'll wrap things up.

A couple of months where I felt
like I should pinch myself

because I thought
I might be dreaming.

But I'm awake now.

Good.

And with my eyes wide open,

I-I see you.

I... I see me.

But I don't see us.

I'm sorry?

It was exhilarating
while it lasted,

but I can't be with someone

who doesn't believe

Goodbye, Ngahuia.

Hello?

Woody, Mary and I
have something to say.

Right, so it's a done deal,
then, is it?

Yes.

Tracey and I
have fallen in love,

and we're running away together.

What?

[ Robinson's "Don't You
Forget About Me" plays ]

[ Laughs ]

Mary's moving to Weld.

Hey?

MARY: Look, it's a great place,
but it is missing one thing.

A big old country pub.

And Mum reckons she's done
her time in the desert.

What the bloody hell
has brought this on?

I kept Poppy from you
for 16 years, Woody.

I'm not gonna do that again.

Especially not when
you're such a good dad.

We got another bloody Aussie
in Weld!

-Yay!
-[ Cheers ]

We'll outnumber the Kiwis soon.

Hey!

Come here.

MARY: Well, especially
if Woody and Tracey

make a little baby Aussie.

We'll see.

Yeah, let's just
slow things a little bit.

-Okay.

♪ Don't you forget about me ♪

-Are you out of your mind?
-No, I'm not out of my mind.

I mean, I was, when I first
came here, for a long time.

I was blinded with misery.

My family was broken.

But it feels like lately

those pieces
are getting put back together.

And that's because of you.

George...

Look, I'm not asking you
to move in with us

because I'm generous
or because I feel sorry for you.

It's because
I'm in love with you.

And I don't want you living
in a house truck in a paddock.

Or even a house in a paddock.

I want you here with me.

With us.

When we're in a bigger house
with more rooms, but...

So, what do you say?

SHAY:
We love you, Katie,

even if we haven't shown it
that much lately.

Yeah, and Shay has been
particularly difficult, so...

Um, excuse me, man-whore?

ARLO: Oh, that's nice
for a checkout chick.

So?

Okay.

-What?
-Come on.

-Hey!
-All right!

Hey, mate.

Save me a steak, eh?

I'll be back after I take Jan
to the airport.

Such a gentleman, Zac.

More than you even know.

Time to really try and get this
"being a mum" thing sorted.

You can do it.

Especially now that I've got
mother's little helper.

-Gin?
-Nope.

Be good.

And don't come back
with an Aussie accent, eh?

Why is Lindsay going to
Australia to be a babysitter?

She's my assistant.

Not just with the babies
but at the magazine as well.

So shove that in your mince

My cousin is leaving
on a jet plane.

Well played, Shay.

Lindsay's not so bad.

And you're leaving
on a jet plane too.

Who will I hang out with?

You can hang out with me.

Oh, thanks, buddy.

At last she gets it.

I'm gonna need a reference.

Don't speak.
Just pour me one of those.

Okay, Shay, I've been thinking.

Take a seat.

Before she went to law school,
Laura went backpacking.

Yes.
I've heard all the stories.

Look, you're not gonna be
a lawyer like your mum,

but you can still follow
in her footsteps.

In her will, she left both
of you a little bit of money,

under strict instructions
to stay in term deposit

until you're 21.

But, hey, life's too short.
So go, use it now.

Go traveling with Souxsie.

-Are you kidding me?
-I think your mum would approve.

Yeah.
I think so too.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Dad!

You're not gonna get yours
till you're 21.

Well, I guess someone's got to
stick around, keep you company.

Yes.

I picked up my kids, my life,

and moved to a place
where we knew no one.

Two years on, we're here,
and we don't want to go back.
