[theme music playing]

[Dave] People go a little crazy when the moon's out,

they reckon.

I'm not so sure about it myself.

But I do know calls to lost and found departments

spike around the full moon.

Well, that's a long way from werewolves.

But weirdness takes many forms.

-[Julie] Oh! It's... -It's a clock.

-[Julie] Yes. -See,

it's battery, not wind up.

Should keep good time for years.

-Mm. -I don't know.

I saw it and I thought of you.

Oh well you're very kind.

You sure you guys don't need a clock?

-Since the... -[Rita] Since the burglary?

Thanks, but they left us with a few things.

Not my jewelry though.

Not my Michael Buble CD's.

[Theo] Rhonda.

[Julie] So have the, uh, the police

finished dusting for prints or taking DNA samples?

Since the perpetrators were friends with one

of the very many people apparently living

under our roof, the police don't see the point.

They'll try to track down this girl.

-Katrina. -[Rita] Yes.

-Katrina. -Bar's open again.

Hey, I found this camera out the front.

-It's not yours, is it? -No, no.

[Dave] I thought the burglars must've dropped it

when they're running away.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ben] Kat was some kind of psycho.

[Carbo] Mm-hmm.

[Ben] How come we didn't notice?

[Carbo] Don't know.

Who really gets women?

[Ben] Remember that stupid thing

we used to do when we were kids?

What thing?

You know that thing your grandma told you

about wishing on the moon.

[sighs] Melissa's gone, mate.

Did she say anything?

No.

I've noticed this.

Women don't talk when they're unhappy.

You know, since she met Chrissy.

Mum hasn't said a word.

Well, maybe that's a good thing.

No, I mean she hasn't said one word to me.

All day.

I walk in the room, she goes quiet.

Greek mothers aren't programmed that way.

It's like playing Gran Turismo with the sound off.

Thank you. And Rachel,

how are things with Daniel coming along?

We liked Daniel.

Very handsome.

Well, we... I...

I need to go finish some designs

that I've been working on.

But it was so good to see both of you back.

I'll see you later. Bye.

-Yeah, bye. -Bye.

So, no wedding date then?

Uh, no.

Things didn't quite work out with Daniel.

Oh darling.

Rachel's okay.

[Rita] Is that why you're living at home Nathan?

Is your marriage in trouble too?

[Nathan] No, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Sammy's in New York. She's having fun.

Yeah, but we're good, we're great.

-So... -So, on that note.

I better go and finish these rosters.

-Excuse me everyone. -[Rita] Bye bye darling.

[Theo] Bye.

Kids.

They're a challenge.

We weren't going back to Greece straight away.

I knew you wouldn't last much longer.

Rachel, my excuse was better than yours.

The tension was giving me indigestion.

Rita is going to crack for sure.

She is dying to have a go at mum.

Well I don't know. They've been friends

since we were babies.

They've never had a bad argument about anything.

Ah, you must be too young to remember the tree.

Okay. Well, apart from the tree.

I think this will all blow over.

[Theo] Well, we should be getting home.

[Julie] Oh, yes. You must've had a long day.

It's so good to have you back.

-Oh, thank you. -Yeah, good to see you.

-And thank you for the clock. -Oh, it's a pleasure.

-Top bit of lamb, Mrs. Rafter. -Don't you think, mum?

Well, you can't teach the Greeks anything about lamb.

No, not that I was trying to of course.

[Julie] Hope everything works out

and you get your stuff back soon.

-Oh, thanks, Julie. -No worries.

It was a bit of excitement I suppose.

But I think it's the last time

I'll ask you to keep an eye on our house for us.

[chuckles]

Bye.

You've got a right to be a little bit cranky.

We didn't burgle their house.

[Dave] Yeah, I'm not sure they're blaming us

for everything that's gone wrong.

Oh, no. Just most of it.

They'll get over it. You reckon?

[Ben] Carbo says his mum's not even talking to him.

Can you imagine Rita not talking?

[Dave] Uh, mate it's not that you're not welcome

but you can't camp out there forever.

[Ben] Well, it's not like I can have my old room back.

No. You can't because you can't stick your granddad

on that couch with his back.

Mum, I know. That's what I'm saying.

Anyway it's my own stupid fault

that I'm back here anyway.

I'll work something out.

All I can think about is Melissa.

I can't believe I might not see her again.

-You tried calling her? -Her phone's dead.

Even her message bank's off.

Oh, that's grim.

[Ben] I just want a chance to explain.

I'd give anything for that.

Anything?

Big call.

There's always the moon.

Mm?

[dramatic music playing]

-What'd he say? -I don't know.

[Carbo] They've got a word for people who stare at the moon.

-What's that? -Inmates.

[sighs]

Hey, it worked before.

I just want one chance.

She was pretty dirty at you, mate.

Remember when we asked the moon for BMX bikes?

Yeah, I never told you about that.

Only went along with that because I knew

you were getting one for Christmas.

Your dad hid it in our laundry.

What are you doing out here?

Same as you.

Going nuts.

Mum says I have to move back to Lesbos.

And live with the lesbians? [chuckles]

Mate, that was funny when we were 14.

Just tell her you won't go.

My life's over, mate.

This is all wrong.

Losing my girlfriend.

Now my best mate.

[Rita speaks Greek]

That didn't sound good.

This can't happen mate.

No way.

Nice little camera.

I should take it to the cops.

You know that whole meal,

we spent very carefully not mentioning my role in this.

I've heard people tracking down the owners

by the pictures on the card.

And then she has to go and say it, "Well,

that'll be the last time you'll be keeping an eye

on my house."

[Dave] Oh, we can tell they're Collingwood supporters.

That narrows it down to 60 thousand people.

[Julie] Oh!

It's not the burglary Rita blames me for.

It's Chrissy.

What? And I'm meant to lie here awake

all night thinking about it?

I don't think so.

Jules?

[Julie] You know, I will keep an eye

on your house in the future whether you ask me to or not

because that's what friends do, all right?

Good then. You're forgiven.

No, no. You cannot forgive me

for the break in because it's not my fault!

And it's not my fault that Carbo

rented out half your rooms.

A phone call would've been nice.

-Friends call. -You knew Ben had moved in.

I just assumed that,

that Carbo had told you about the girls.

Perhaps you don't understand boys very well, Julie.

Oh, Carbo is not a child.

Oh, not compared to your blonde friend he isn't.

She's old enough to be his aunty.

What and he is old enough to choose.

Oh, and I suppose you are delighted

that your son is shacked up with some girl

in your neighbor's house?

You treat Carbo like he's 14!

[Rita] Oh, don't be ridiculous.

[Carbo] Mum.

[Rita] You brush your teeth and go to bed.

I'm not going to tell you again.

[Carbo] Mum if you just met Chrissy properly then...

[Theo] Can't we talk about this in the morning?

Or better still not at all. Come on home.

-No... -[Rita] You're right, Julie.

It's not all your fault.

I blame Ben as well. He's a bad influence.

What? Oh, you stupid cow!

Jules...

What we do by the light of the moon.

Can look pretty crazy when the sun comes up.

-Hey, you okay? -Mm.

-Oh, sure. -Yeah good I'm great.

So what's on for you today?

Oh, lunch and then dinner with Rob.

Kid free. As much as I love the boys.

Yeah, kids are wonderful but they can be trouble.

So much trouble.

So, last night Ben was telling us something

about Carbo being carted back off to Greece.

Oh, mm.

And then we heard some yelling.

Yeah, well, maybe I let Rita get to me a little.

I've never heard you call someone a stupid cow before.

Yeah, I was really shouting wasn't I?

That's so odd.

I'm, normally lose it like that.

I should say something.

-Hey, what's happening? -Going to see Rita.

-Please, not again. -It's okay. I'm saying sorry.

Julie, perhaps we both said things we shouldn't have.

-[Julie] I'm sure we did. -Glad we've sorted that out.

Thought I'd eaten my last moussaka.

[Rita] Friends know how to forgive each other.

Yeah. Okay. Well, I'll let you get on.

-Okay. -I just... I do hope

this means you're not going to be dragging Carbo

off to Greece though.

I don't think that'll be very good for him.

Oh? I didn't know you'd been to Lesbos.

Is it such a hell hole?

No. Oh, no, no, no, you've shown me the photos.

It looks lovely but I just...

But you need to tell me how to raise my son.

-No. -Well, Ben's no advertisement

for your parenting skills, Julie.

I'm very proud of Ben, actually.

Well, if you set the bar that low.

-Jules... -Oh, please.

Excuse me you're no judge of anything.

Look, look at that hideous clock you bought us.

Call it revenge.

You've given me ouzo for Christmas

for the last 12 years. Not all Greeks like ouzo!

Oh, but you all love the Parthenon!

To think I have bitten my tongue

over that blasted tree for years.

-What? The tree? -Yes!

[Julie] You're still going on about the tree?

Oh fine! Go on about the bloody tree!

The tree? I can't believe she still...

[chuckles] How many years has it been?

How many years? Did you hear that? The tree.

I'm still worried about the bloody tree.

That was meant to be an apology.

Honestly.

[saw whirring]

Julie, no, no, just, just...

[Julie] I've got time. I can take out the tree

-and still get to work. -[Dave] Give it.

Jules, Jules, Jules, please, please.

-It's all right, it's okay. -[cries] It's not my fault.

-I know, I know, I know. -They're grown kids.

They're, they're adults. It's not my responsibility.

-It's all right. -What's wrong with me?

I'm going to work.

[dramatic music playing]

That was weird.

Don't you think that was weird?

-Mum acting like that. -Yeah, I'm worried about her.

Ben, if you were doing that any slower,

you would be fossilized.

Well, I'm taking my time. What's wrong with that?

Anyway there's not much else to do around here.

Oh, come on your life's not over. Not yet.

It's all right for you to say, isn't it?

Uh, things haven't exactly been party-time

for me either, you know.

Well, at least you've still got Sammy.

Has someone put something in our water?

Is this family suddenly part

of some top-secret scientific experiment?

First mum turns psycho,

you turn into a manic-depressive...

Hey. Okay, where am I off to first?

Uh, we are off to Brighton-le-Sands.

-Dad is mum okay? -Tell them I'm running behind.

I've got to drop some lost property

off at the police station.

Yeah, yeah, no worries but is mum okay?

Yeah, she's fine. Bit calmer.

Not sure what that was all about.

You know what women are like.

[Ben] I know they don't forgive you.

[Nathan] Ben, if you're going to carry on like this,

can you please go and take it somewhere else?

I don't have anywhere else. Don't you get it?

Stop acting like it's the end of the universe.

And do something about it.

Melissa hasn't fallen off the face of the planet, you know.

He's got a point, mate. See you.

[dramatic music playing]

Hey, Heath. Heath. It's Heath, right?

Yeah. Ben isn't it?

Actually I'm here to see Mel.

Do you know if she's here today?

Melissa took a month off work starting yesterday.

Zero notice.

Did she say where she was going?

We asked but she wouldn't say.

Maybe home to Perth, huh.

[Chrissy] Sit down, please.

I'm not letting you anywhere near a steering wheel

in this frame of mind.

If we're late for work then we're late.

[Julie] Mm. Yeah, I have been feeling a little crazy

since the excitement next door.

Crazy, Julie. [chuckles] I want details.

Actually I completely lost it with Rita. Twice.

[phone ringing]

-[Chrissy] Oh, it's Carbo. -No, take it.

No, I don't know what to say to him.

It's been years since I've had to deal

with a boyfriend's overprotective mother.

[Julie] What... So, you haven't talked to him at all?

Well, no. It's silly but, you know,

it's for him to sort out.

I mean, god what's she going to do?

-Send him to his room? -[laughs]

Actually, Carbo has some news.

His mother's taking him back to Greece.

-What? -Mm.

Well, the man's 23 years old.

I mean, she'd have to kidnap him surely.

Oh, I think you'll find the apron strings

stretch pretty far in that family.

Okay.

Well, if I'm going to have a...

Unseemly tug-of-war then I'm in.

Good luck.

Yeah, hi look sorry to call you this early.

Oh, right. Yeah, time zones.

Sorry to get you out of bed.

Look I'm just looking for a Melissa Bannon

and I was wondering if she might be a relative,

or if she was there? She's just in from Sydney

and she's a bit of an emotional wreck...

Hello? Hello?

That would be a no.

Look, I've just got a really good feeling about this, okay?

Go and make a spreadsheet or whatever you do.

[Rob] No, hang on. I have an idea.

-[Rachel] Mm. -[Rob] The boys aren't

really happy staying with their mum.

She's out every second night with various internet losers.

-Judgmental. -Anyway,

I want to apply for full custody of Rhys and Toby.

Wow. I bet the boys will love that.

I think it can work.

It'll be like putting the family

back together again, yeah?

I mean, the boys adore you.

And I get the feeling you're pretty fond of them.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, it's not something we have to do right away.

I mean, it can happen down the track.

A year or more.

Well, I love the boys. I really do.

It's okay.

We can talk about it another time.

[Rachel sighs]

[Ben] No, it's spelt B-A, double N, O-N.

It's the same as your last name.

Otherwise you're not related.

No it's a girl's name...

[phone beeps]

Hello. Sorry to bother you.

I'm just looking for a Melissa Bannon.

She's from Perth and I was just wondering if she...

Yeah, she's been working in Sydney as a nurse.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Yep, she's about one metre seventy and she's got,

sort of, brown, light brown eyes.

I mean, she's got dark brown hair.

And oh she's got a cute little mole nestled between her...

Oh, Mrs. Bannon. Oh, no, no, no.

I'm a...I'm a really good friend of your daughter's.

No, no, really, really.

[engine revving]

[Dave] Hello, hello, hello.

Piece of cake, Dr. Watson.

[man] Yeah, young bird liked the footy cake.

-Took that picture a week ago. -Is she a regular?

No, haven't seen her before or since.

Too bad. Thanks.

Might see her when she picks up her cake.

She ordered one just like that.

Um, only the Swans colours

for her boyfriend's birthday.

Swans?

Yeah.

Pretty sure it was for the 24th.

Did she leave a name or a number?

[man] Yep, spot on.

Sydney Swans, choc rum, "Happy birthday Ben".

There's only one contact name.

-Melissa. -Melissa.

There's a mobile phone number and email.

Okay. Well, could you email her

and let her know I've got her camera.

I'll just write down my number.

Tell her to ask for Dave...

-Daveed. -Daveed?

Daveed.

Thanks.

-[knocks on door] -I'll get it.

No, no, Nathan, that's Rita's knock.

-I know it anywhere. -That's okay.

No, that's not, okay. You're mother's not home.

All right just, just leave it.

[Julie] No. No one's home.

She'll want to kill me or I'll kill her, or...

-Mate just... -[Julie] No.

Don't... Oh!

-Nathan. -Mrs. Karandonis.

I'm here to see your mother.

She's out.

-Oh, don't be stupid. -It's six o'clock.

She's peeling potatoes by now and if a bottle

of cheap pinot's not open, I never knew the woman...

Oh, Rita, hi.

Yeah, we were just about to...

Oh, shoo please.

Boys, out, out.

I have something to say to Julie.

Oh. [chuckles]

[Rita] I have been so horrible to a dear old friend.

I've come to apologize. Julie, I'm sorry.

-Oh, you... -Darling, I'm sorry.

I've been stewing over this all day.

-So, have I. [chuckles] -I got into bed.

-I got out the chainsaw. -[laughs]

And then I thought, you know,

good friends are more important than a few bits

and pieces around the house.

Yeah, well it's so true.

Well we're on the same page.

And I should've phoned Carbo more often.

None of this would've happened.

I felt so weird yelling at you like that.

I have no idea where that came from.

You were impressive.

Well, it's just... It's been weird.

The last few weeks I've been getting so emotional

over the strangest things.

So, irrational.

It's the oddest feeling.

There are two good reasons

you've started acting this way.

-Oh? -One,

you are really Greek after all.

and you have my crazy hot blood.

Oh, that's probably it.

What's the second reason?

Oh, I saw my mother go through it.

I went through it myself.

That'd be the change of life.

Huh?

Oh.

[Dave] Menopause?

Could Rita be on to something?

For a woman who's had three kids,

Jules was looking pretty damned hot.

But hot flushes?

Oh. No.

Two visits in one day. I'm being spoilt.

No, well so am I.

-Hey, Rachel. -[Rachel] Here's trouble.

-Hey Rhys, got a kiss for me? -Nope. Bad idea.

Dinner's in about an hour. Do you want a glass of wine?

Yes, please.

Oh Rachel, I had to build a webpage

for an online music store.

Want to take a look?

Sure. I hope it's seriously funky.

-[Rob] Here you go. -Thank you.

Hey Rhys, where's your ribbons?

Sports carnival. He blitzed them.

Rachel.

One hundred metres, two hundred,

four hundred and the long jump.

Wow. That is awesome mate.

Hey, guys aren't you supposed to be

at your mum's place tonight?

Actually, no.

Dad phoned up and asked us over.

Did he?

Well, that worked out well then didn't it?

Okay. So, have you got

any flash animation on the website?

Yeah, here take a look.

Wow.

Very, very good.

[Carbo] Any closer at working them out mate?

-What's that? -[Carbo] Women.

I tell you, it's doing my head in.

You're not on a desert island, mate.

Yeah.

I got hold of Melissa's parents.

No way. And?

They hadn't heard a word from her since she did the bunk.

Except a note to say she was alive.

Think they were more glad to hear from me.

Well, I got a call from Chrissy.

-I'm meeting her for dinner. -What are you talking about?

-That's progress. -Mm.

At least you're in contact with her.

But still doesn't change what your mum thinks about her.

[tense music playing]

You look beautiful.

Hope you didn't have to climb out

of any windows to get here.

No worries. It's all good.

Over here... They're parking the car.

-Who's parking the car? -Mum and dad.

They're eating with us.

Look they just need to get to know you

and everything will be okay.

Carbo, that's not what we discussed at all.

That's a terrible idea.

-You. -Hello again.

Nicholas Karandonis...

I reckon we get a hot and cold seafood platter to share.

-Dad... -Carbo!

This is my girlfriend Chrissy.

Sit down and talk to her for five minutes

and you'll see why I love her.

Don't talk about love in a public bistro.

Look, I love her.

If you don't like it, I'll move out.

I'll make my life with Chrissy

and you can suit yourself that's how serious I am.

Carbo, I have to go.

We'll talk about this tomorrow.

But no Chrissy... Chrissy...

[sighs] I think we'll have to have cheese on toast.

Anyone else interested?

With tomato sauce please.

Tomato sauce.

-You see? -What?

Grown up people grow out of tomato sauce.

Mum, you make more sense when you're shouting at me.

Young people make mistakes.

And you're making a big mistake right now.

Oh, I get it.

And I have to be punished for it.

Lesbos isn't punishment, Nick. It's our home.

We want to look after you.

We wanna stop you making these silly mistakes.

Oh, Chrissy is not a mistake.

-Stop saying that. -Have you really

talked to her?

Have you thought about where you'll be

-in five years' time? -What does it matter, Mom?

Don't you want children?

Because I would really love to see

your children someday.

Kids, sure, some day.

Nick, you're still so young.

And she's...

not so young. When you're ready

to have babies, you'll be in the same boat

as Julie Rafter.

-What? -You'll have wasted

the best years. It's your future. [sobs]

Mom, it's okay.

It's not like that at all.

It is.

It's such a silly, silly thing.

Tell me you'll call it off.

Tell me.

[Rob] Hope everyone's hungry.

There's a lot here.

Spoons are in the wrong place.

That was Rhys.

My brother's a dork. That's Toby.

Settle.

Caution teenagers feeding.

Oh, there's a computer fair at school next month.

Maybe you wanna come to that?

That sounds like a job for your dad

or your Mom maybe?

No, you're better at that stuff.

Don't twist her arm, kiddo.

Rach, might be working.

Hey, are you gonna put some salad

-on that plate, Rhys? -[Rhys] Too much green stuff.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

I'm not feeling that good all of a sudden.

Rach. Rach, what's up?

I am really sorry but I know

what you want me to do and I can't do it.

-I can't do it. -Look, if there's a problem.

-We can talk about it. -No.

You wanna be with your family.

You want them back. And that is the most beautiful,

natural thing in the whole world

and I love you for it.

But I can't go there with you.

Not now.

Maybe not ever.

I'm so stupid.

I saw you get scared today at lunch

and I just thought if we had fun

-as a family tonight-- -Look...

Tell the boys I'll see them soon.

[dramatic music playing]

We're in our pyjamas.

And there's probably still banks open.

[Julie] Mm.

-Must be getting old. -No.

With Ben colonizing the sofa,

there's nowhere else to go.

Age has nothing to do with it.

[Dave] Sorry, I'm just joking.

You want privacy, this is it.

Do you think I've kept my figure?

Yeah, you've kept it.

You've added to it even.

[chuckles] Another joke.

-Oh, hilarious. -Sorry, sorry.

Sorry about that.

-[phone ringing] -Oh, hang on.

-I've got to get this. -What?

-This could be her. -Who?

This could be her.

Hello?

Yes, this is Daveed.

-Oh, pfft. -Shh.

Yes, I have camera.

I meet you tomorrow 9:00 AM, cake shop.

Good?

Daveed says you're welcome.

Excuse me, who was that

and what's with the silly voice?

That was Melissa. Fate or the moon

or something has dropped her

into our laps so that Ben gets a chance

-to plead his case. -Oh.

Or gets kicked in the goolies.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay. So, you were there and I was about here--

Actually, I'm a bit tired.

Yeah, I've got a way of revitalizing you.

-[knock at the door] -Hello?

Goodbye.

Oh, you're in bed already, sorry.

-I heard talking. -Oh.

No, sweetie, what...

Mom, I need to talk.

Oh.

[Rachel] It was like I'd jumped forward

20 years, you know.

Instant family, instant responsibility.

Am I a horrible person?

-Oh, darling. -[Ben] Extra horrible.

Can I have a hot chocolate?

Would you have some sensitivity

for once in your life and...

Mind your own business, all right?

[Rachel] I mean, you said it yourself, Mom.

Where would my kids have fitted into it

-when the time came? -Oh, I know, I know.

And so there I was and I just...

I couldn't do it.

I ran.

Oh, darling.

It's okay.

[dramatic music playing]

Do you wanna share?

Come on, you're awake and unhappy.

I can tell by your shoulders.

Do you still think I'm attractive?

Come on, where's all this come from?

You need to ask? You've got to beat me away

with a stick.

No, seriously, where's it come from?

Sorry I'm just... I'm being silly.

It's just something Rita said.

Rita?

Well, she knows.

She's been through it.

What?

Menopause.

Menopause?

You're too young for menopause.

But what if I'm not too young?

What? And you think this because--

Well, she spotted it and now my mood swings,

and my angry outbursts.

Yeah, you've had your snaky streak lately

but I find it arousing.

Well, it's just that it would explain everything.

It's too soon.

-I'm too young, aren't I? -[Dave] Yeah,

and even if you weren't, we've had our kids.

It's just a stage.

You're still beautiful.

[sobs]

You'll always be beautiful.

Too young for menopause.

[dramatic music playing]

Come on mate. Up and dressed.

[Ben] No. It's Saturday.

[Dave] No. Move it.

You've got an appointment to keep.

What?

Dad, this is awesome.

I still can't believe it.

You said nine, right?

She's late. Typical.

So, tell me again what happened.

Lost and found.

You've got something she wants.

This is Mel's. What are you doing with it?

Call it a fluke.

Call it fate.

She was gonna buy you one of those

-for your birthday. -A Collingwood cake?

-She really does hate me. -In red and white, idiot.

[Ben] There she is. There she is.

[Dave] Okay. Right so go,

be honest, tell her how you feel.

-Women actually like that. -Yeah.

And she's gonna be surprised to see you, all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Melissa, please.

Please you've got to hear me out.

Look, I know about the birthday cake.

You can't pretend there wasn't something there,

-something between us. -Of course,

there was something there. That's the whole point.

Hey, this is yours.

Daveed.

Dave?

-Your dad did this? -It's fate.

Honestly. Dad found the camera and I found you.

Just give me five minutes. One minute, one minute.

You were right about Katrina all along.

She was bad news

and I was really, really stupid.

-You got that bit right. -But never for one second

did I stop loving you.

Why do you think I ordered the cake?

'Cause I felt bad too about the break

in at the club, about us fighting.

I felt bad for you.

That's why I ordered it.

As a nice surprise.

And then hey, what do I find out?

-You and Katrina were just-- -Hey, but you never cancelled

the cake, did you?

That just proves that we're not over yet.

I'm gonna pick it up anyway.

It's my shout.

We could share it together on my birthday.

You know where I live.

Actually, it's...

Not at Carbo's, it's next door...

[dramatic music playing]

[Chrissy] But you know the amazing thing is,

something about Carbo declaring himself

like that, you know. It was very manipulative

and sneaky but I don't know I just had

this overwhelming rush of pride of...

-Love? -[chuckles] maybe.

Oh, Chrissy look I know you're fond of him.

Oh, look I'm more than fond of him, Jules.

I just, you know, I love him.

I just don't know in what way.

Well, then get him to think short term.

-I mean, why throw it away? -Oh, I don't know.

There's Rita the girlfriend eater.

Look, if Carbo's parents hadn't turned up,

would you still be thinking about chucking it in?

No. But...

But you've made up your mind.

I'll let him down gently.

He'll be all right, don't you think?

Come on.

[Dave] Visitor.

Hey, Toby.

I finished the last of the web designs.

You were, you know, interested.

[Rachel] Yeah, sure, sure.

Oh, you've nailed funky.

Is this your own font?

Yeah.

Classy.

Come on through.

-Take a seat. -Thanks.

Oh, these are great.

These are awesome.

Oh, you have done so much work.

I'm so proud of you.

-There is something else. -Yeah?

Well, you made dad really happy

and I don't know what's going down.

But none of it's good for you two, is it?

I'm sorry.

I've made things complicated.

I mean, I liked having you around.

I thought we were friends but I guess

that can't happen anymore.

Oh, Toby, I wanna be your friend.

I just can't be a Mom to you.

But that's fine. I don't...

I don't want a new Mom.

Just a friend.

Well, we'll find a way.

Mates are important.

Got to look after each other.

Now, I think I'd better drop you home.

I'm guessing your dad doesn't know you're here.

No.

Come on.

I put him to bed.

I didn't even know he'd gone.

No, I'm glad he came over.

Stuff needed to be said.

Yeah.

There's this book I read.

This storyteller

was building a house for the woman he loved.

So, there'd be room for her, and his kids,

and all their things.

And they'd never have to leave.

Yeah.

Only it wasn't a house.

It was a cage.

I'm sorry.

It's me.

It's just how I feel things.

It's okay, Rach. I get it.

You had a bad run of it with your last boyfriend.

Compared to Daniel, I'm Mr. Safe.

No, Mr. Clever.

Funny.

Mr. Well-read.

Women don't stay with the Mr. well-reads

of the world.

You changed me, Rob.

Thank you.

You changed me too.

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] Hello?

[Rita] Welcome, come in. Come in.

Oh, Julie, 2004, that's lovely.

-Thank you. -Well, I was gonna bring ouzo

but then I thought maybe not.

[laughter]

Stop it. Nathan, hello darling.

-[Nathan] Hello. -Any idea how those two

-sorted things out? -Not a clue.

But ain't it sweet?

Yeah, gathering for a full moon.

I thank Zeus for that.

[laughs]

I can't even work out my own mother.

What chance do I have with real women?

No word from Chrissy?

-Her phone's switched off. -Well, I don't know.

Nathan, you must be missing Sammy.

-Oh, of course. -Yeah, you always miss

a beautiful wife.

Is she a handful?

We respect each other, Mr. Karandonis.

I think that's the main thing.

Yeah. Yeah.

Mate, I've got to bail.

I can't make small talk, you know.

-No worries mate. -Yeah, see you.

[dramatic music playing]

[door opens and closes]

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

Hey.

So, tell me again.

Your dad found my camera?

Yeah.

And recognized the cake shop

from the photo I took?

Yep.

That's unreal.

I told you. It's the moon.

I don't know what it is. Maybe there's something

in it after all.

What are you talking about?

I can explain.

If you wanna come in?

[indistinct chatter]

[Dave] Not like Ben to miss one of Rita's lambs.

Yeah, I know. I saw him sneaking off before.

[doorbell rings]

[Rita] Oh, Theo, Theo, get the door.

-[doorbell rings] -Oh.

Would you like me to get that?

Thanks Julie.

-Chrissy? -What are you doing here?

Having dinner. Oh, no, no,

-now's not the right time. -Jules I have to do it now.

Otherwise, I'm gonna lose my nerve.

-I just-- -Who is it?

Oh. I'm sorry to gatecrash.

[Carbo] Chrissy, hi. It's great to see you.

-Carbo, can we talk? -Sure. I've been wanting

-to talk all day. -Yeah, but can we go somewhere

-for a walk or something? -[Carbo] No, no, no,

you're my guest. I want you here.

-Come and have dinner. -Yeah, Carbo,

I've been thinking about this all day

and you know you and me were always gonna end

at some point. And I just think

-why not make it tonight. -No.

You are the most important person in my life.

And I'm asking you, Chrissy, to marry me.

What we had was good and if it's good.

Why should we let it go?

Oh, okay.

-Yes? -Yes, I'll marry you!

You see, Mom? I'm not 14 anymore.

I'm getting married.

Get her out of here! You make me sick!

Why's that, Mrs. Karandonis?

Because you're a cradle-snatcher.

-What's your problem, Mom? -I don't want you

under my roof! As of now.

Well, if that's how you feel.

Come on, Chrissy.

[dramatic music playing]

I still haven't forgiven you.

Yeah, I know.

I know and I'm sorry, forever.

Can we just forget about that

and talk about nicer things?

Like what?

Like how it was.

How we were.

It's not that easy.

Maybe I...

I want us to be okay.

I'll do anything.

It's that whole trust thing, Ben.

Hey, but...

You can...

You can trust me, I promise.

These last couple of days have been hell.

I mean, the phone bill here alone

is enough to get me kicked out.

-Phone bill? -Yeah, I called every Bannon

in the Perth phone book.

Got hold of your Mom and she didn't have a clue

where you were either.

But now she knows I'm here?

Great. Thanks.

-Mel, I had to find you-- -And I told you. Trust.

First Kat, and now you throw this at me?

Mel, your Mom misses you too.

-She loves you. -You don't know me.

You don't get me at all. Why do you think

they don't know where I am? Why do you think

-there's been no contact? -[Ben] I don't know.

And as of now, you'll never have the chance.

[Carbo] That's so great. You and me,

-that's all we need. -Yeah.

Getting married and it was like a flash.

You were saying break up and I just thought, no way.

Yeah, that's how it was for me too.

It was just like a flash.

Are we crazy people, or what?

Whoa!

I need a drink to celebrate, eh.

Well, there's wine in the kitchen.

Oh, okay ace.

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] How's Ben?

Poor kid can't take a trick.

Well, at least he got to see her.

Yeah, but I think he blew it.

[Julie] Mm.

Do you think Carbo and Chrissy are gonna be happy?

[chuckles]

Not if Rita has anything to do with it.

You know, maybe Rita was right yesterday.

Maybe this is my fault.

Well, if it wasn't for me, Carbo and Chrissy

wouldn't have met. They wouldn't have had a fling

and they wouldn't be about to get...

What?

Let me just remind you what's happening

in your body. Your hormones are going crazy.

Oh, shut up. I'm not menopausal.

This family would be enough to make anyone snaky.

Yeah, let's just blame it on the moon.

[dramatic music playing]

-[door slams shut] -Is that the back door?

-Did you lock up? -Mm.

Go on.

What did your last slave die of?

Answering back.

[singer] ♪ How do you feel

♪ About being dead ♪

♪ Said one to the other ♪

♪ How do you feel ♪

♪ About being lonely? ♪

[Ben] I should be thanking the moon.

"Thank you", "awesome", "it's all good."

Instead...

You feel like howling at it?

I got my five minutes.

I thought she was back.

It's just not fair.

What do I do now, dad?

Well...

the same moon's shining on Melissa.

No, you never know.

[Ben howling]

[both howling]

[Dave] The moon shines on everyone.

Just not all of the people,

all of the time.
