Previously on Five Bedrooms...

- Arggh!
- Benny! Talk to me.

What'd you hit? Your shoulder?

Unfortunately, looks like you're
gonna have to have surgery.

Probably a full reconstruction.

You alright?

I'm not sure how much
of the anger I'm feeling

belongs to Ben
for this current fuck-up

and how much of it
really is about

the last three decades
of my life.

- Better call Joe.
- Sorry? Who's Joe?

Elizabeth Wendell. Hello.

Hello.

He was just so...

..funny and...

..handsome and, uh, humble,

and he loved Mum, and have I
mentioned he was handsome?

HARRY: As a child,
I was obsessed with Diwali -

the celebrations,
the food, the wishes.

(PEOPLE CHANT IN HINDI)

But somewhere in my 20s,
dread crept in.

The lights of Diwali
began to feel like

a spotlight on
all my shortcomings.

For my Harpreet,
I wish true love,

family, fertility,

a nice wife,

good cook of both traditional
and modern cuisine.

My mum paid zero attention
to the sacred rule

of Diwali wishes
being silent...

..which is perhaps why her
wishes really hadn't come true.

- (PHONE CHIMES)
- (HARRY SIGHS)

God!

How many messages so far?

Just a lazy seven.

(CLEARS THROAT)

That's very restrained for Mum,

considering
it's Diwali tomorrow.

Diwali?

I feel like I should know
what that is.

No, I mean, it is just the most
important day of the year.

That's fine.

It's the, um...
the Festival of Lights,

the...the triumph
of good over evil.

Like, does this have
implications

for your mother's outfits?

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Diwali is Mum on speed. (LAUGHS)

She plans her outfits,
like, months in advance.

Oh, my God.

But it's, um...

..it's super religious and...
and kind of intimate,

so it's, um...
sort of immediate family only.

- Sorry.
- No, of course. Sure.

It's just, there are
all these rituals, and...

..and my uncle completely takes
over, and...and he's, um...

He doesn't know?

Well, I was actually gonna say
he's kind of terrifying, but...

..no, he doesn't know.

Sorry.

I splurged on the very expensive
laddus for the invitations.

Since when do we do invitations?

We are going to have some
very special guests this year.

- Mum, really?
- Mmm!

At first, I thought of
just Ainsley,

because she's bringing life
to the world.

And then I thought of
Elizabeth, completely alone.

So I decided to invite
all your housemates and Martin.

- Marty?
- And also...

- Mum!
- Mm-hm.

You must give him
one of your sherwanis to wear.

He'll look so handsome!

And you've, uh...you've told
Akshay Mama about Xavier, then?

I've told him he's coming, yes.

You've told him
he's my boyfriend?

No, no, Harpreet. Everyone
will be there just as friends.

- Morning.
- Morning.

- Uh, where's Ben?
- Benny!

Uh, bit of a slow crawl
this morning.

Maybe 'cause
he supplemented his oxy

with a full sixpack last night.

How are you feeling
about that choice now, Ben?

Pretty good.

Yeah? That part of the post-op
recovery plan, was it?

Get shit-faced on oxy?

Yeah.

I'll just keep it quick.

Uh, basically,
it's Diwali tomorrow,

and, in a bit of
a historic first,

Mum has invited you all to
her house for the festivities.

Oh, my God! She's been
talking about Diwali for weeks!

- 'Deepavali'.
- AINSLEY: Sorry?

Also known as 'Deepavali' in
Hindu circles. Just a fun fact.

Um, also, um, I must stress

that it's a huge honour
for us to be invited.

Um, I myself have only been
once before, a few years ago.

Why only once?

Let's say it's just...

..best not to sing along
with the chants.

Uh, also, there's no alcohol,
uh, no meat...

- No meat?
- No.

Um, and...also,
don't wear pure white.

- It's the colour of mourning.
- The colour of mourning. Yep.

And...also...

..Xavier's gonna be there.

- Oh, my God. Really?
- Yes.

But my uncle
and his family, um...

..they don't actually
know that I'm...

- Banging him?
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.

Uh, so if we could just,

uh, all be inconspicuous
about the...

- The banging.
- Yeah.

And the...uh, kissing
and all of the...gay.

Xavier's just a friend.

OK. (SIGHS) Hey, Ben.

- Hm.
- Move your arse.

- Where to? Where you going?
- Physio! (CLOSES DOOR)

- (KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Yeah.

- LIZ: It's me.
- Oh, come in.

Look, I...I appreciate
you're...you're being brave.

But I encourage you to be
honest in this safe space.

I'm OK.

Is Xavier OK with this?

Oh, well, I haven't invited him
yet. But...but he'll be fine.

Will Manju ever tell
the family?

Well, yeah. I think she's just
seeing it as a 2-step process.

First we introduce Xavier, and
then once everyone loves him,

we go the reveal.

Is that the truth
or is that a delaying tactic?

(LIFT BELL DINGS)

(SIGHS)

OK. OK.

Sorry. Ben dropped a weight
on his foot at physio.

It took half an hour
to find an icepack.

Then we hit school traffic.

Yes, uh, Pat wanted a word.

Under normal circumstances,
Heath,

we'd chitchat,
I'd sing your praises.

We've known each other too long
for that. What's going on?

- Nothing.
- Really?

'Cause apparently
your work ethic's gone to shit,

you're late all the time
and you're snapping at staff.

Who said that?

Wednesday, you didn't rock up
until 9:45am.

This morning,
it was almost 10:30.

Yeah, look, at the moment,
for all practical purposes,

I have a dependant,
and as for the snapping, well...

One staff member claims you've
been calling them 'Ankles'

in front of the patients.

Yeah. Julian.

And apparently
you told said patient

that 'Ankles' means
'three feet below an arsehole'.

Yeah, well, that's just poetry.

As nurse unit manager, I'm
giving you an official warning.

Are you serious?

It hurts me
as much as it hurts you.

I think you'll find
it hurts me more.

Don't make me go
to a second warning.

What happened?

It's utter bullshit.

It's discrimination.

How is it dis...

Oh, you want to have a crack?

May...maybe it's just a sign

that you could let a little more
help in, with Ben.

You offering?

I-I would happily take on more.

- OK. Do you want
to change his dressings?
- Well...

Check his position
every half-hour in the night?
Take him to his follow-ups?

I could certainly
cover a taxi or two.

It's not just the transport.
Someone needs to be with him.

'Cause he's...

..he's just not...

He...he's not what?

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

JOSEPH: Have I spoken to Ben?

Um, yeah, we've had
a bit of back-and-forth.

Right. And how did he seem
to you?

Well, his...
his first message was, um...

..uh...what is it?

Uh..."Post-op. Still here.

"Not getting rid of me
that easy, cock muppet."

OK. Well, um, yeah,
he is still here.

That much is true. But, um...

..he's not...

..doing his exercises,
he's drinking way too much,

Heather and he
are really struggling,
and we're getting worried.

Clearly, he doesn't feel that
comfortable opening up to us,

but I thought maybe
you could give him a call
and see how he really is.

He won't tell me.

Well, can you ask?

That's not really
how we communicate.

So you're happy to drop
50 grand on an operation,

which is incredibly generous,
by the way,

but you can't pick up the phone
and say, "Are you OK?"

You obviously don't have any
brothers or sisters. (LAUGHS)

That's...

..that's personal information.

Oh, right, so, you're able
to call me and ask about

my brother's physical
and psychological health,

and I can't even ask you

whether you have a brother
or sister or not?

- Well, I won't call again.
- Alright.

Alright.

- Well, goodbye.
- Well, goodbye, Joseph.

You appear to still be
on the line.

Yeah, because I'm on AirPods.

My phone sits with Bethany,
so I...I don't...

You can't even end a call
without your assistant?

OK, for future reference, I
wouldn't admit that to anyone.

And then we make the wishes?

After the prayers, yes.

And as a pregnant woman,

you must consider your wishes
very, very carefully.

I really just want my baby
to be healthy.

No, no, no, no.

Be very specific.

When I was pregnant, I wanted
a boy who'd be a doctor.

I did not realise that I had to
specify his sexual orientation.

- (DOOR OPENS)
- You look lovely.

So nice, cute.

This is unexpected and strange.

- Doesn't she look beautiful?
- Mmm.

I thought you didn't
look favourably

on white women in saris.

Ainsley is blessing this world
with a baby.

Uh, Mum, could I have a word?

Yeah.

- Sorry, Ains.
- That's OK.

(SIGHS)

Just...about Xavier.

I don't think I can have him
here as just a friend.

I thought it would be nice
for him.

But alright. We do have
so many other guests coming.

No, I want him here,
but as my partner.

I want to tell Akshay Mama.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- No. No way. Huh!
- (SIGHS)

Mum, I...

..I think I might be in love,

kind of for the first time,

and I don't want to have to wait
years and years

for my family to know.

I just want to tell them now.

You don't have to wait
years and years, Harpreet.

Akshay Mama gets
very little exercise.

I think four years at most.

I don't want to lie
for another four years!

Lying is what you have to do
with Akshay Mama.

He really respects me, Mum.

I'm...I'm the only boy
in the family.

- I'm a doctor.
- His judgement will fall on me.

He will think I'm the lonely
widow who cannot raise a son.

I really think he'll be fine.

HARRY: There was only
about a 2% chance

Akshay Mama would be fine.

But when you're high on love,

you always think the odds
are tilting your way.

(RINGS DOORBELL)

- Harpreet!
- Namaste, Mama.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Huh? Where is your mother?

- Uh, no. It's just me.
- Oh, my boy!

Your mother didn't tell us
you were coming.

Where is she? Is she alright?

Yes. Yeah.

I, um...I just wanted
to see you because...

..I have some news.

Have you bought
another property?

No. (LAUGHS)

It's actually, um...

I've met someone very special

and I'm bringing them to Diwali.

Oh! Your mother didn't tell us.

Is she not Indian?

Uh...

..no, he's not.

His name's Xavier.

I think his parents are
actually from New Zealand.

It's been a couple of months
now, and I'm...I'm very happy.

- Your mother knows this?
- Yes.

In fact, she introduced us.

She loves Xavier.

It was a shock for her at first.

And she's, uh...she's quite
anxious about your reaction,

as am I.

But he's...
he's really wonderful, and...

..I...I want him to meet
the people who matter most,

and...and that's you.

- Akshay.
- Hm?

Thank you,

for having the...courage
to tell us.

"Thank you"? That's a win.
That is an empirically good
reaction.

Well, um, not necessarily,
but, at the end,

I did say, "See you tomorrow,"
and my uncle smiled.

That is huge!

I mean, he still might not go.

And even if he does,

it'll probably be
pretty painful, but I...

Harry, you...you...
you need to take a moment.

OK, you, Harry Sethi,
are in the middle

of a real-life
love-conquers-all moment

right on the brink
of Deepavali.

And you need to go and have some
very athletic Kama Sutra sex.

Well, I'm at his work, so...

Find a way. Do it for Australia.
Do it for India and Australia.

(LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(WHISPERS)

- Cheers, mate.
- Hey.

Uh...hi.

I thought you had
family stuff tonight.

Yeah. Uh...do...
do you have a sec?

Um...we're a bit
under the pump,

but if you grab a seat,
I'll come find you.

- OK. Yes.
- Just give me a couple of secs.

Sure.

HARRY: I told myself,
"Don't spiral. Don't overreact.

"That was not
what it looked like.

"That was just two
very attractive men

"navigating a small space."

Hey. What's up?

Um...

..you...remember how I told you
about Diwali?

Oh, yeah. It's all
I've been thinking about since.

(LAUGHS) Well, um...

..you are now invited.

Welcome to the inner sanctum.

Really?

Wow!

(SNIFFS) Oh, my God! These...
these actually smell like Manju!

That's great.

So am I there as...
a mysterious friend or...

Boyfriend.

They all know.

Wow. OK.

Is this as big
as I think it is?

Yeah, possibly bigger.

Well, I am honoured...

..and humbled.

Hey. Just about before...

Xav? Drowning over here.

Uh, yeah, mate. Just a tick.

Sorry. I'll...I'll be
a couple of hours.

Yeah, sure. I'll, um...
I'll wait for you at yours.

- Yeah?
- OK.

Thank you. (KISSES)

Oop!

Don't forget these.

COLIN: Well, I don't know.
I think it's just, uh...

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

(BOTH LAUGH)

G'day, love.

What is this?

Well, it's lovely
to see you too.

What are you doing here?

Col's just giving me
some recovery advice

and telling me
about his old war wounds.

- From when I did my back.
- Yeah, this is not like that.

Well, you were a bit dismissive
of my pain, Heather.

You're just on
your third beer, then?

A man's gotta have something to
get him through the pain, love.

(LAUGHS)

Colin. A word?

What the fuck are you
doing here?

- I heard about work.
- What?

Well, your colleagues are
like family to me, Heather,

and we feel a duty of care.

I see. And what have
my colleagues divulged?

- You're falling apart.
- No, clearly, I'm intact.

- You're at sea.
- Very much on dry land.

Don't get defensive.

Ben's recovery has been
a slow crawl,

but he's getting there,
and I'm fine.

- It's bigger
than that, Heather.
- Bigger than what?

Well, I think it's important
for the process

that you can articulate it
yourself.

What the hell are you
talking about?

I think it's clear now that you
left home to spread your wings,

but you've ended up...
in a cage.

(SIGHS)

Time to go, Col.

See ya.

Hey.

(DOOR OPENS)

- Hey.
- (CLEARS THROAT)

(SIGHS)

Sorry about that.

What a shit-show.
Absolutely slammed.

And then Mike has to go
and cut his bloody hand.

Mmm. Uh, I saved some takeaway
for you, if you like.

Oh. Thank you.

(SIGHS) God.

Hey, about, um...
about before with Charlie.

Is Charlie
the intimidatingly hot barman?

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

He, uh...he's a massive flirt.

There's a bit of history there,
but nothing much now.

'Nothing much'?

Yeah.

This might not be the best time
to have this conversation.

Well...is there a conversation?

Well, usually, yeah.

About other guys and stuff.

(SIGHS)

Sorry, are you talking about
open relationships?

Well...

..is...

..is that what you...

..normally do?

(SIGHS)

I mean, it's...it's different
every time, you know.

I've had one relationship that
was completely open and a...

(LAUGHS) ..a free-for-all.

It's not for everyone.

And then I've had a couple
which were more of a...

..if-your-partner's-away-type
situation.

And then, of course, there's...

..the...if we're in agreement,
we, uh, invite a third party.

Or a fourth.

I'm freaking you out, aren't I?

No. No. Not...really. I just...

(SIGHS)

Have you ever just had a...

..a relationship
that was just one-on-one?

Yeah. Of course.

But I think that that's maybe
why it didn't work out.

- (SIZZLING)
- Morning!

Morning.

No, no, no, no, no.
It's Diwali. No meat.

That's tonight.

The rules apply
all day, Heather.

God, you spend one day
with Manju

and now you're
a bloody cultural attaché.

Well, you...you spent the day
with Manju?

- She offered to lend me a sari.
- You should eat.
We gotta leave.

She says it's unholy for white
women to wear saris at Diwali.

- Oh, nowyou do your stretches.
- Yeah.

10 minutes before
your follow-up?

You reckon that's gonna
make a difference?

- Feeling pretty limber, yeah.
- (DOORBELL RINGS)

I'll get it. You eat.

OK, Manju's just reminded us
to wear bright colours tonight.

- She's messaging you now?
- We have a WhatsApp thread.

- Or two.
- (DOOR OPENS)

HEATHER: Joseph!

JOSEPH: Heather!
Hi. How are you?

Joe?

(GROANS)

BEN: Joe?

What are you doing here, mate?

- Did you miss me?
- JOSEPH: Yeah. Like the clap.

BEN: Yeah, you still got that?
Still itching?

JOSEPH: That's crabs, dickhead.

Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah,
we met briefly, Ainsley, yeah.

- Liz!
- Joseph.

What brings you here?

Well, I had a...

..unexpected window open up,
work-wise, and...

..well, I knew that Ben's
surgical follow-up was today,

so, uh...

I see.

Yeah.

So, no other factors?
No additional prompting?

Hmm. Um...

No. None that I can think of.

Mate, it's great to see ya,
but I am capable

of going to the surgeon
on my own.

- Oh, that's a lie.
- Well, I can't drive.

- But I can call an Uber.
- Your account's suspended.

Well, I... (SIGHS)
..I can get a bloody cab, then.

- Can you? Where to?
- The hospital.

It's at her consulting rooms
in Richmond.

The address is on there.

There's also a record
of the medication he's on.

- She's gonna ask him
about the pain. He's gonna lie.
- BEN: I won't.

She's gonna ask him if he can
lift his arm over his shoulder.

- He can't.
- I can!

- Go on, then.
- I can lift my arm.

I just don't want to now.

Just if you could get him there
and get him home

and remember what she says.

- Really appreciate this.
- JOSEPH: No problem.

OK. I've gotta head off to work.

Um, do me a favour.
Change your shirt.

(LAUGHS)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Yeah, they did seem
a bit tense.

I mean, functional, but...

..tense.

OK, that's not functional.

That...that's a woman
running a grown man's life.

And...and you said he's been
writing himself off?

(WHISPERS) Never say anything
in this house

you're not happy for all members
of the dwelling to hear.

Trust me.

OK.

Might be best if we relocate
this conversation offsite.

- OK. Um, right now?
- Well, at some point.

So, um...

..tonight?

Well, I'd have to check
my calendar.

(WHISPERS) Liz! (CLEARS THROAT)

It's Diwali.

Um, it seems I am...

..I'm actually scheduled
to celebrate Diwali tonight.

We all are.

- It's the Indian Festival of...
- Of Lights, yeah. Yeah.

- Happy Deepavali. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHS)

Oh, I spent some time in India.

BEN: You alright?

(DOOR OPENS)

And also with you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Happy Diwali, Mum.

They are not coming.

- What?
- Akshay rang.

And they refuse
to celebrate Diwali with us.

- Well, what did he say?
- He didn't give any excuse.

But he's convinced them all,
the whole family.

(SIGHS)

I'll go there and I'll
talk to him again.

No, Harpreet, no.

You should have not gone there
in the first place.

I knew he's traditional,
but I didn't think he would be
this heartless.

Mum, I'm so sorry.

We can still do Diwali. We'll...
we'll do it just the two of us.

That's no way
to bring in the new year.

We must pretend
it's any other day.

Diwali is...

..cancelled.

(SIGHS)

HARRY: Diwali's cancelled.
It's not on.

What?

Well, we've just had some family
drama, so we had to cancel.

I'm sorry.

Is your mum OK?

Yeah. Of course.

This doesn't have
anything to do with, uh,

the conversation we had
last night, does it?

- No. No. Not at all.
- OK.

Because, you know,
what I should have said,

if it wasn't already
clear to you, is...

..you know I'm...
I'm really into you?

Right? And...and I'm
really into us.

But, uh, you...
you know, I...I just...

..I don't think there's any one
person that I could sleep with

for the rest of my life.

Yeah, but...
but it's not personal, Harry.

(HARRY HANGS UP)

(SIGHS)

May-maybe it should just be you.

I mean, she's gonna be
in a vulnerable place,

and you...you clearly have
your connection.

Uh-uh-uh.

(RINGS DOORBELL)

Manju?

(DOOR OPENS)

Ainsley!

Elizabeth!

I don't know
if Harpreet told you, but...

We just heard. And we wanted
to check that you're OK.

Yes, I'm OK.

- Oh, Manju, no! Sorry.
- (SOBS)

Aww...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's really difficult
to be a mature-age woman

and feel like...

..you have no family.

(SNIFFS)

Elizabeth, of course
you will understand.

Couldn't we still
celebrate Diwali?

A smaller version?

It would be too heartbreaking.

This house, it's full of...

..memories of my family.

Could we have it at our house?

Don't be ridiculous, Elizabeth.

No, we'd manage.

Manju, the way
that you talk about Diwali...

..my family never celebrated
big events, or any events.

It would mean so much.

It would, and to Harry too.
I mean, to all of us.

Well...

..for you, obviously,
Elizabeth,

you must pick happiness
where you can find it.

I'd just be going
through the motions.

That's OK.

Oh, maybe a bit higher.

Whoops.

Good. Let's brighten it up
a little bit with this.

- OK.
- Yep.

- (SIZZLING)
- Oh!

Too high. Too high.

(PHONE RINGS)

Oh! Martin!

Martin! Forgive me.

I forgot to mention

that we moved Diwali
to Harpreet's place.

- Have you arrived?
- (SCRAPES)

I'm sorry.

Who's there?

HARRY: As soon as I stepped
through the gate,

it was clear
what I was walking into.

A loving, strangely
relocated celebration

thrown together
by my housemates.

But after everything
with Xavier,

I barely had the energy
to facethem...

..let alone my whole
extended family.

(GASPS) Happy Diwali!

- MARTY: Oh, hi.
- LIZ: Surprise Diwali.

Hey!

Mami? Malvika?
What are you doing here?

Oh, you've always been such a
good boy, Harpreet. We love you.

How could we not be here?

MANJU: They are teaching
my brother a lesson.

- Thank you.
- Oh!

Is, um...is Ben far off?

Oh, he's coming. He's...
he's been at the surgeon's.

- But he'll get here.
- (DOOR CLOSES)

- Ooh! Look at you!
- HARRY: Simmo!

- MAMI: Look at you!
- Oh, yeah.

I went the suit rental
in the end.

Might have, uh, overstepped it,

but these pants fit me
like a glove.

Wonderful.

So, where's Xavier?

Yes! We want to meet
your handsome stud.

Oh, uh...I told him
it was all cancelled.

- Oh, why?
- Harpreet?

This is for him too.
He should be here.

- Um, it's getting late.
- It's still light outside.

There's plenty of time.
Go get changed.

Get changed and call him.

- You OK?
- Yeah.

- Is this too much?
- Never.

Is this too much?

(SIGHS)

I might have fucked it
with Xavier.

- What?!
- (SIGHS)

We had a chat last night
and it turns out he's, um...

..not big on monogamy.

And by 'not big',
I mean not into it at all.

- Oh, fuck.
- Yeah.

We tried to talk about it today
and, um...

..I wouldn't say
I hung up on him, but I, um...

(SIGHS)

..I hung up on him.

I just feel like
I've blown up my family

for a relationship I'm never
gonna be able to make work,

and...and...

..and now they're all out there
and desperate to meet him.

It's fine. No. We'll tell them
that he's made other plans.

Don't worry about that.

This isn't for Xavier.
It's for you.

And now everybody
bow their heads

and make a silent Divali wish.

HARRY: I'm pretty sure
I could tell you

what my housemates
were wishing for.

For Ains, it was
obviously baby-related.

Heather was too jaded to wish.

She was just enjoying
the silence.

Liz would have been making
the same wish she'd made

for the past two decades -

to increase her success
and maintain her jawline.

Marty was too distracted
by his leg cramps

to wish for anything.

But for the first time
in my life,

I had no idea what to wish for.

I just wanted the night to end.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Sorry, Manju.
It's probably Ben.

- (DOOR OPENS)
- HEATHER: Xav!

Come in.

- MANJU: Xavier?
- MALVIKA: Hey! Xavier!

- (LAUGHTER)
- Hi, Xavier!

Uh...s-sorry. Um...

Harpreet said you had to work!

No, I just came
to talk to Harry.

There was a change of plans.
They decided to surprise me.

- Hi, Xavier!
- Oh, hello.

Oh, God!

Of course! Come, let's
find you a sherwani.

Oh, Mum, the ceremony's
almost over.

Oh, but the night is young!

- This is a Diwali miracle!
- Yes!

Come, come! We'll find you
a nice bright one.

You'll look so dashing!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I already know you're wonderful,
'cause Manju hand-selected you.

Oh.

You must be
a very special gay man.

- I considered many options.
- What?!

I want you to know that you're
always welcome in my home.

Thank you.
That's very kind of you.

But not when
my husband is around.

- Uh, at other times. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHS) Right. OK.

We love you. We love Harpreet.

And we love Penny Wong.

- And I voted yes.
- She did.

Oh, thank you. (LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Bit of heat.

I'm so sorry.

Is there any, um, particular
way you want me to behave?

Just...general human normalcy.

I can't offer an example.
Sorry.

- Oh, God.
- (TAPS GLASS)

I don't want to interrupt
the festivities,

but I must thank my bhabhi

and my niece for being here.

Very happy. Very happy.

And, Xavier.

For many years,
I wished to have another child.

And now...

..you're like a son to me.

I'm so grateful Harpreet and you
found each other.

And I'm so grateful
for the science of surrogacy.

OK. Mum...

So grateful for
the options it offers.

Indian sperm in white womb
or full Indian.

- Mum!
- I love both of you.

I love both of you very much.

And this is the best Diwali.

Best Diwali!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYS)

(CHEERING)

I am feeling the urge
to join them, but...

..don't know
if it would be inappropriate.

I've been wrong before.

Well, I...I speak from
experience when I say

do not attempt
any Bollywood dance moves.

- Right.
- Just...just don't do it.

WOMAN: Come on!

Ains.

I'm not very experienced
with this kind of dancing,

or...any dancing with a...

I'd love to.

Won't you join us?

- Here we go. Here we go.
- Yay!

- AINSLEY: Come on, Liz.
- Um...um, um...I'm going to...

- Oh.
- Marty, get up here.

LIZ: Oh, I'm coming.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER
AND LAUGHTER)

Martin, I'm tired.

Oh! Lizzie!

- Hi.
- Hey.

Holy moly!

- (LAUGHS) How are ya?
- I'm good.

Kevin Daniel Richard Fitzsimons!
How are ya, mate?

This is Benjamin.
He's one of the housemates.

- He's heterosexual.
- SIMMO: Come on, mate.

- Grab a drink of water.
- Yep.

- Come on. Come on, eh?
- Righto.

- You right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm OK.

You OK?

What happened?

BEN: Alright, Simmo,
I can manage.

What do you mean?

I-I've never seen him
like that.

Really?

- SIMMO: Oh, fuck! Shit!
- BEN: Arggh!

You right? Hit your shoulder?

- Don't worry, mate.
It's buggered anyway.
- What?!

My shoulder.

My shoulder's fucked!

- Get up, old fella.
- Come on, mate.

Well, thanks for taking him out
and getting him shit-faced.

He was always gonna get
shit-faced.

All you had to do was get him
there, get him back. That's it.

I swear to God, Heather,
I tried to stop him.

But there's no slowing him down
after a certain point.

What you saw was containment.

What the hell happened?

I mean, what did the...
what did the surgeon say?

That's a question for Ben.

Well, he's passed out.

And at this point, it's probably
better that I hear it from you.

(SIGHS) Apparently...

..his recovery
might have plateaued.

His range of movement
might only get to 60%.

What does that mean
in real terms?

Well, it means...

No more footy. And he'll
have to rethink his career.

(SIGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Do you know what
the tragic thing is?

Six beers is what it takes

for Benno and I to be honest
with each other.

(LAUGHS)

It's...it's messy,
but it's good that you came.

Look, I'm gonna try and sort
things out with the office.

See if I can work remotely
for a week or two.

You know, stick around
for a bit.

Is Bethany gonna be OK
with that?

Ooh. (SIGHS)

It's a process with Bethany,
but, um...

..I'm pretty confident.

I liked your dancing,
by the way.

Bowls?

Oh, uh, just up there.

Oh, uh, let it burn down.

It's bad luck to blow it out.

Right.

Thank you for enduring all that.

I loved it.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you
it was back on.

I wasn't avoiding you.

Oh, well, I shouldn't have
started that conversation

the way I did.

You're kind of...

..well, you are

my first proper boyfriend.

So the idea of...of going from
nothing to an open relationship

was kind of like
going from a crawl

to a record-breaking sprint.

I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with you.

(BOTH LAUGH)

And I am open
to a monogamous relationship

if that's what you want.

I don't want you
to have to change for me.

Same.

How often would you normally...

(LAUGHS) Harry.

You don't have to...
you don't have to do this.

If we could take it slowly
and... (SIGHS)

..if I could have at least four
freak-out passes...

Harry...

..you don't have to do this.

No, I want to try.

I do.

I want to try it.

Next time on Five Bedrooms...

Yeah, there's...
there's an attraction here.

I don't know. Maybe it's
a one-way street.

There might have been some...

..light traffic
on the other side.

AINSLEY: OK, Heather slept
in my bed last night.

I think her and Ben had a fight.

- What?!
- Did he sleep in Simmo's tent?

What the hell happened
in that room

that they both had to leave it?

Just need you in
early tomorrow.

We've got an 8am
with Yvonne from HR.

- What for?
- Can't tell you.

Is it about the lateness?

I'm not saying
anything else, Liz.

The profanity? The hairclips?

Is it about the bullying?
