[Ted] Who'd have thought it.

That little rascal Cupid takes a pot shot

in my direction and scores a bulls-eye.

Mine wasn't expecting to find love

but I might have found it

in a future with Marjorie.

And today I was meeting the family.

No hassles, just lunch with her pregnant daughter

who could talk baby business with my pregnant daughter.

Everything was going my way.

Not even close.

Ah the vision splendid.

It doesn't matter how many years

you've been on this earth

when you're in love you're only ever nineteen.

You're looking pretty damn good.

I feel pretty damn good.

-For you. -Oh. Gorgeous.

And your favorite bottle of red.

[Julie] Hi, Marjorie.

-[Marjorie] Hi, Julie. -Hi.

Oh, Dave sends his apologies,

he had a big job on so he's sorry.

Oh, you didn't have to.

Oh, it's just some carrot and dip.

I'm really looking forward to meeting Susannah

-and her partner. -Yeah, I must admit

you've never told me his name.

Hello everybody.

You must be Ted.

Oh, hello.

Susannah I take it?

I can see you've inherited your mother's good looks.

[laughs] Got to watch the smooth ones, Mum.

Susannah. Hi.

-Oh, my daughter Julie. -[laughs]

Yeah we've already met.

Right.

Nine Moons. Oh, my God!

Nine Moons?

Oh, it's our mothers' wellness group.

[Ted] Oh, well it didn't take you long to get onto that.

Oh, Mum organized it for us.

Well it's obviously working for you.

I thought you were a little bit further along.

I'm sorry?

Well, I thought you were due next month

and you're not even showing?

Hasn't Mum told you?

I was just about to.

Oh, Susannah I'm sorry.

Look we went through a similar thing

after Julie was born, so I understand.

Look you can always try again.

Ted I'm not the pregnant one, my partner is, Abbey.

[Ted]Abbey? Partner? Pregnant!

[Abbey] Sorry. I can't last five minutes

-before I need the loo. -[laughs]

I understand the problem.

Nice recovery, Ted.

Abbey, I'm Ted.

Hi, Ted. How are you?

I've heard a lot about you.

And you know Julie.

Hi.

[gasps] No way!

You're that Julie?

[laughs]

It's a small world.

It certainly is.

I might just open this.

[Marjorie] I think I might go and help you.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well I didn't want you to prejudge their relationship.

I thought if you had a chance to meet them casually,

you know, and see how much they care for each other.

Well it's a bit of shock,

I'd be lying if I said otherwise,

but she's your daughter.

You love her.

I mean we can't help how our kids turn out.

I think Susannah turned out quite well.

No what I meant was,

we can't make our kids turn out the same as us.

Thanks.

It means a lot to me you being here with us.

It's what I've wanted, to be a family.

Hope that's not for Susannah?

Well not just for Susannah.

White wine only.

Too many histamines in red.

[Julie] Yeah, no, I never really had a problem

with the others but with this one it's been chronic.

I mean I'm just glad I'm past my first trimester.

[Marjorie] I had terrible morning sickness

-with Susannah. -But it was worth it, right?

[Marjorie] Well if you're asking me if I'd do it again?

[laughter]

I see, I see where I stand.

Oh, for me it's my bladder and my back.

But thank God for Susannah's healing hands.

Oh, you give good massage?

[Abbey] Oh, excuse me, the best.

Oh, sorry Ted, you're having white as well aren't you Mum?

Yes please.

But you're a red girl.

No it's fine.

You know I don't know how they've managed

you know packing up on the Gold Coast

and long drive down and setting up a new business.

[Abbey] And me not much help waddling around

-like an overinflated walrus. -Oh!

Well it's never an easy time.

For anyone.

[laughs] Oh, isn't that always the line.

You women think you've got it tough.

[laughs]

So how did you guys manage the process?

Oh, we never even went there with the sperm bank thing.

-Too impersonal. -[Abbey] Yeah.

We want our child to know its father.

A close friend?

Even closer.

Yeah it's a perfect genetic match.

My brother.

Oh.

Okay, Libby I will get there if I can.

Alright. Well, look I'll have a shower

and I'll see how I feel afterwards.

Ciao, ciao.

Ciao, ciao.

It's Italian for goodbye.

Oh, I thought it was Australian for dog food.

Oh, the wit.

What are you doing here anyway?

[Jake] My job.

Big office fit out. Probably going to be working

around the clock, which means I can't stay and chat.

Oh, how will I survive?

Oi, um, I don't suppose

you could rustle up some sambos for me?

Oh, I'd love to.

Now where did I put that strychnine?

Are you alright, Dad?

I'm fine.

Well you don't seem fine.

Gay kids. I guess it's like the measles.

Someone's got to get them,

you're just grateful it's not you.

Oh, Dad!

No, that part of it doesn't bother me.

Honestly.

But when you add in the kid.

Oh, come on.

I mean how is it going to feel about having two Mothers?

And then his Dad's his uncle?

Well isn't the most important thing that Susannah and Abbey

will love the child totally and unconditionally?

Yeah to them.

But the kid doesn't get a say.

Well, I didn't get a say either.

Yeah but your father didn't dance in Mardi Gras.

Prance around the house in a dress.

Well.

Well not until much later.

Perhaps if I let Susannah in on me and your Mum's dresses

she wouldn't glare at me like that.

Oh, she didn't glare at you, Dad.

You're her Mum's new boyfriend,

she's being protective.

You just need to get used to each other, that's all.

[Ted] Okay I'll take them out to dinner at the Italian

and we'll bond over Marjorie's favorite.

Prawn and blue cheese risotto.

Are you okay?

Yeah, sorry it'll pass in a minute.

Oh, I'm used to it. It's just like the footy club

-after Happy Hour. -Oh.

And here was me saying that it was over

with the first trimester.

-Here you are, they're clean. -Oh.

-You want a hand? -Thanks.

[sighs]

-Medium, dash of milk, -Oh.

-one sugar. -Thanks, Jake.

I'm feeling better already.

Alright. Do you want me to call Dave

-and get him home early? -Oh, no, no, no. No I'm fine.

Okay. But I'll warn him it's his turn

-to do the cooking tonight. -Oh, don't worry, he knows.

-We have a roster. -[chuckles]

What's going on?

Oh, I threw up in the driveway.

Jake cleaned me up, bought me inside

-and made me a cuppa. -Yeah.

and now he's got to rush. See you.

[Julie] Oh, thanks love, bye.

[Jake] No worries.

You okay?

That boy has a heart of gold and a body of steel.

Oh, now you're making me sick.

Okay, well, you go lie down. I'll unpack this stuff.

No, no, no that's fine.

Tomorrow, amongst others I've got a hippy mother

of four and expectant lesbians coming over,

so I'm baking.

That is a gorgeous dress.

-Is it new? -Yes.

And don't ask how much.

But ah, it's good yeah?

Ah, perfect.

[chuckles]

[Carbo] Mate what'd I tell you.

Make up with Mel or move on.

Help boost business too.

What, by giving away freebies?

[Carbo] God hello! Earth to Benno,

look free drinks bring in the chicks.

The chicks will bring in the guys,

it will go off like a bomb.

And then we'll be over there

buying the ladies another round.

Yeah to get them in the mood.

Yes, and suddenly they'll be lowering their drawbridge

to our masculine charms.

Mate, you've got to get out of the flower shop, seriously.

[Carbo] Well tell me you'll think about it.

Come on increase sales and chicks by the bus load.

I'll think about it.

Hey. Look at this,

Jamie Oliver eat your heart out.

So I was thinking stir-fry tonight.

No sorry Jake just called, he's out of fluro's

I've got to run some over to him.

Okay I'm staying at Libby's so don't wait up for me.

Has anyone seen my keys?

[Julie] They're by the computer.

But you'll be an hour at least.

-Unless Rachel can take them? -Take what?

Well, she's heading that way.

-Ah, some fluro's? -Oh, no, no, no.

Come on Rachel my beautiful, talented favorite--

-Hey! -Now daughter,

I was going to say daughter.

Do I look like a courier?

It's on your way.

Oh, okay. But so long as there's no grease involved.

No grease, just some lovely clean boxes.

[Julie] Oh, and you can take these for Jake

to say thank you.

Oh, it just gets better.

[Jake] What you're wearing? You want me to guess?

Ah, well if it was up to me

you know I'd be backing the mini-skirt with the tight top.

Ooh, yes I'm liking the sound of that black lace.

Hey ah, hon, I've got to go.

The um, plumber's just arrived.

Yeah and he's looking very cranky.

I don't think he's getting enough.

[laughs]

Yeah alright see you.

Hey it's just a bit of fun.

Yeah, great, I'm standing here getting filthy

while you're yacking to some bimbo girlfriend.

Oh, that's not fair.

She may be a bimbo but she's not my girlfriend.

Where do you want these?

You baked for me?

Mum did, they're apple and cinnamon.

Laced with strychnine?

They're for being nice to her.

Obviously you'll never get any from me.

Hey, by the way you look really um...

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on...

Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh,

great!

Now look what you've done. It's deadlocked

from the outside and my tools are out there.

Oh, well I'll just call someone.

Why do you think I was speaking on the phone

out there? There's no reception in here.

Don't be ridiculous.

There's got to be some reception...

[playful music playing]

Hey. Hey there's no reception.

I told you, it's a dead spot.

Great.

The security guy. Security guy, quick.

They only hang around for five minutes.

-Oi! -Hello.

Security!

[Ted] And Rachel suddenly felt she was trapped somewhere

she didn't want to be.

I was feeling something similar myself.

You'll love the prawn risotto, it's to die for.

[Susannah] As long as we don't die of starvation.

-Where's the waiter? -Mm.

So the baby, do you know what sex it is

or do you want to keep the surprise?

I was for the surprise but Susannah wanted to know.

No point having science if you don't use it.

He's a boy.

Ahh. Well, Dave's got some blue paint in the garage,

I could give you a hand with the nursery.

We won't be gender-stereotyping.

[Marjorie] And the linguine with clams

um, that's delicious too.

So, you've, uh, bought into a pharmacy?

Yeah, I had to sell my Gold Coast one

to get a half share here.

It's taken all my capital.

Yeah but when I get back to work it'll be easier.

But that's six months away.

Child care's pretty exxy isn't it?

-Mm. -Well, it can be.

Not for everyone.

Depends.

[Ted] Oh, yeah.

That kind of child care.

[Abbey] Plus our car,

it practically carked it on the drive down.

Well, I could have a look at it if you like.

It might be something simple like spark plugs, fan belt.

[laughs] Ted, you don't have to be a man

to know if it's the fan belt.

[Marjorie] Susannah, when we were young most girls

-didn't have a clue. -When you were young men

didn't even want you to drive.

[Ted] Well not until booze buses came in,

then it became very handy.

[laughter]

Hon, he's joking.

I've had a look at the engine.

The seals are gone, the head gasket's blown.

It's definitely not the fan belt.

Why don't you use my car while yours is being fixed,

I hardly use it.

-[Abbey] Oh, that would be-- -[Ted] Only to get around.

Well I can take the bus.

Oh, the bus. Yeah.

That'd be great, Mum. If you're sure that's okay.

It'd be a fantastic help.

And why don't you two catch a movie after dinner.

I mean, while you still can.

[woman] Oh, well why don't you both join us?

Sounds good to me.

No. Look, have some quality time together

um, Ted and I can have a night in.

Yeah.

Yeah Rachel wasn't the only one to find herself

unexpectedly confined to quarters.

[upbeat music playing]

[Rachel] Hello.

Can anybody hear us?

Fifteen minutes non-stop. Good lungs.

Alright, give me a break. I actually meant lungs.

Look, is anybody going to miss you?

They all know I'm working.

You?

Date?

Boyfriend?

Oh, no boyfriend, so sad.

You're a tough guy.

Break down the door.

Why don't you?

Do I look dressed for demolition?

Why don't you just look at it.

That ought to crack it.

Alright, alright.

I'll give it a go.

[grunts]

Oh, get on with it.

[thuds]

Oh!

Oh!

Ow!

Get... It hurt.

Yeah, baby. Go on, try again.

No way. No.

I've got a big game of footy on tomorrow.

If tomorrow ever comes.

Oh, there's got to be something useful in here.

Oh, what, so we lipstick the door open?

-Uh huh. -Well--

Or tweezer it to death?

Looks like we're stuck in here.

If we're stuck they need to be rationed.

[sighs]

The whole baby thing, it's been pretty scary.

Yeah but the medicos these days are terrific.

The hardest part's behind you.

Well I kind of meant more like, you know what's ahead.

We're going to be responsible for this tiny little person.

[Ted] Yes it can be scary.

But there's nothing more wonderful.

Yeah. [chuckles]

That was great.

Um, what's our share of the bill?

No worries. It's my shout.

-[Abbey] Oh, thank you, Ted. -Hmm,

I hate to be a predictable lesbian stereotype,

but Angelina Jolie waits for no girl, come on.

Well, don't be late, the end of the cricket's

going to be a cracker.

Hmm, talking of stereotypes.

No I meant...

forget it.

And Mum all the tax stuff, I left on the dining table.

Thanks. Bye.

Tax stuff?

I said I'd do their accounts for them.

It won't take long.

[singer] ♪ We are the people That rule the world ♪

Yeah.

What'd I tell you Benno,

this babe central, or what?

[Ben] Mate this is awesome.

-You're a legend. -Hey, tell me something

I don't know.

Hey, the last time I saw this many chicks

was at my cousin's netball tournament.

G'day, I'm Ben.

First drink compliments of the house.

Yeah, I saw the sign.

I'll have a vodka and tonic, thanks, Ben.

[Ben] And don't forget to tell your girlfriends.

First drink free until the end of the month.

Sounds good.

As long as they're all served by you.

Hey, well I'll do my best

but there's only so much of me to go around.

[Carbo] I think she likes you mate.

I think she likes the free drinks.

Hey if she's not your catch of the day,

there's plenty more fish in the sea.

Excuse me.

[Carbo] What did Uncle Carbo say?

If you're moving on,

you've got a room full of options.

[Elly] I said no, okay.

So, just quit hassling.

[Ben] Hey, hey, hey.

Is there... Is there a problem over here?

I was just trying to tell these two guys here

that I don't need them to buy me a drink.

[Carbo] Well if you're shouting I'll have one.

[Ben] Hey you heard the lady, come on.

Yeah, my mate here the manager,

will call the bouncer.

Thanks, boys.

Thanks, Ben.

I'm Elly.

Ah, Elly this is my flatmate, Carbo.

Carbo, Elly.

Pleasure to meet you, Elly.

Ah, guys I've got to get back to work.

So I'll catch you later.

Elly, hey?

Somebody better call heaven

because they're missing an angel.

[laughs] You're funny.

Hey does, um, Ben have a girlfriend?

Not at the moment, no.

My flatmate Kirsty would really like you.

-Yeah? -[Elly] I'll hook you up

when she gets here.

She's cool and very wild.

Sounds good.

[Jake] Got you.

Just my luck.

Stuck with a noughts and crosses hustler.

[Jake] All right. Come on one more.

It keeps your mind off the other things.

What other things?

[Jake] Is it just me or is it getting really stuffy

-in here? -Oh, no, you don't get

claustrophobic, do you?

Me, no. No way.

Not anymore.

[inhales]

Do you think we've used up all the oxygen?

-No. -[Jake] Because it's getting

-really stuffy in here. -Right.

Just relax and breathe slow.

Are you serious? I'm fine.

[Jake] Yeah, no I think if we breathe slow

we might have enough oxygen to last

like two, three years maybe.

You are so full of it.

You believed me for a second but, didn't you?

[laughter]

All right come on, your go.

Now my brother, he really is claustrophobic.

[Rachel] How many of you in your family?

[Jake] It's just Mum and Alex.

He's a top bloke.

He's always trying to get a rise out of you.

Ah, so not a family trait them?

He's a handful in his own way.

Is he older or younger?

[Jake] Younger.

Two weeks after he was born, Dad shot through.

The last we saw of him.

So it's just the three of us at home.

All right, you live at home too?

Yes.

You know, you two would get on.

He loves anyone who gives me a hard time.

Yeah, well, it doesn't sound like

you seem to mind too much.

Well, it can be a sign of affection.

Yeah!

-Very good. -[Jake] Four, two.

You suck.

I suck officially.

-New game. -[Jake] Righto.

I'm bored.

-Marjorie. -[Marjorie] Mmm?

What's wrong with this picture?

Hmm?

[Ted] The girls at the movies while you're doing their tax.

They've moved cities to start a new business.

They've got a baby on the way.

I thought they deserved a break.

Yeah.

Lovely house, cheap rent with a washer woman,

cook and accountant thrown in.

She's my daughter, Ted.

I'm happy to help.

You're doing a bit more than help.

Meaning what exactly?

-Ah. -Go on,

say what's on your mind.

Well, I just feel

you're being taken advantage of.

Susannah said you wouldn't accept the situation.

This is not about Susannah being gay.

So you're saying it'd make no difference

if she were straight?

No, what I'm saying is,

she doesn't appreciate you.

And she treats me like I'm a chauvinist pig.

Oh, she can be a bit short.

A bit?

Well, look,

she just needs time to get to know you.

You know to know she can trust you.

You trust me.

Isn't that good enough?

[sighs] Look, you don't know

how hard it's been for her.

Her father wouldn't accept her sexuality

and I was stuck in the middle.

I wasn't as supportive as I should have been.

So, that's what it's all about?

What?

You feeling guilty.

No.

There's a difference between helping

and expecting you to be here on tap.

Now I thought you were going to move out,

give them their space.

Yeah, well, I can't afford that now.

So you really will be on tap?

I let her down

and we're trying to rebuild things.

Please don't trample over that, Ted.

I'm not.

She's the one doing the trampling.

No she's standing up for herself.

She insists you drink white wine.

Insists on knowing the sex of the baby.

She swoops on your offer of a car

like a gull on a hot chip.

And I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall

when your son volunteered

to be the father.

She's a bully and you know it.

I'd said too much.

Perhaps it's best if you go home.

Yeah.

Perhaps.

Suddenly cupid's little arrows

were way off target.

[dramatic music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[Julie] Honey, I know it's early days,

but we're going to need a baby's room

sooner or later.

It can't sleep in with us forever.

Sleep with a new bub?

Now there's a novel concept.

-[chuckles] -I'm sure Sammy and Nathan

won't mind sharing.

Well, they may be in Dad's room

if things keep going well with Marjorie.

You mean if Marjorie gets her way?

All I'm saying is that Dad could be moving out soon

and this room's right across the way from us.

It would be perfect for late night feeds.

Ooh. Breast feeding.

Oh, come on, you loved it, remember.

-Mm. -Well, that was before

-the mastitis-- -Oh.

--and teeth.

You know, it's a shame we gave the old cot

to Sally Treloar.

That old thing?

Yeah, that's old thing.

All the other kids slept in it.

Yeah.

-[Julie] Hey? -[Dave] Forgot something?

Oh, yeah,

how frustrating women are.

Oh, Dad, you haven't been making waves, have you?

You've got to learn to be a bit more accepting.

Do you really think she's the first lesbian

I've ever met?

I mean, Robyn, the office manager at work,

was a really good friend.

She was the first to call after your mother died.

And I get on fine with Abbey, she's a sweetheart.

And Susannah?

[Ted] Yeah, well, she hardly knows me

-and I'm tried and convicted. -[Julie] Oh, Dad,

she's probably just trying to adjust

to a new man in her Mum's life,

that's all.

Do you really think Susannah

is the type to adjust?

You offer an olive branch

and she pokes you in the eye with it.

You point it out to her mother,

she shoots the messenger.

Marjorie will calm down.

Who says I want her to?

How do you feel about building into the attic?

My favorite X-Man would have to be Wolverine.

Mmm-hmm.

He doesn't count because he's not an original.

-He's not? -No, I've got this whole bunch

of my Dad's X-Men comics from the seventies.

No Wolverine.

You know some really cool stuff.

Yeah, twelve months at my joint

he still can't work the dishwasher.

Anyway I'm out.

[Elly] I'm sorry Carbo,

I don't know what happened to Kirsty.

Next time, huh?

Yeah. Okay.

See you, mate.

So, Ben.

What are you up to now?

Ah, that depends, what are you doing?

I don't know.

I'm kind of at a loose end.

What about those X-Men comic?

Problemo, they're back at my place.

Problemo, my flatmate has the car.

Problemo solved.

You can come with me.

Let me guess, you're a Kiwi with strange taste in sheep?

How'd you know?

Eyes.

blue eyes.

Yeah, I'm not really so good with words.

Me either.

I'm more of an action kind of guy.

[light flickers]

This is so freaky.

I don't think I can handle any more of this.

The roof!

-What? -You are a typical man.

You never think laterally.

We might be able to get out through the roof,

an air vent... Oh!

[laughs]

Great.

I spent a fortune on this dress.

Oh, can this night get any worse?

Oh, um, right, get it off.

Oh, you're soaked, you can't stay in that.

Here have this.

No.

[Ben and Elly moaning]

Ah, the comics are in here somewhere.

Maybe we should read them in my room.

Well, I do like to stretch out while I read.

Hey. Hey. Are you okay?

Yes, Iceman.

I have you in my psychic vise

How much have you had to drink?

Just what you gave me.

Are you sure?

Three vodkas over four short hours

shouldn't make you--

[moans]

[Ben] Okay, okay, okay.

We should really go upstairs because Carbo's home--

[Elly] Shhh, the exhibits, if you please.

[Ben] Okay.

They should be in here somewhere.

[Elly] This is very comfortable.

Uh-huh.

Never say I don't deliver.

Huh?

Elly?

Oi.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, wake up.

Elly.

Elly, wake up.

Hey. Carbo!

Carbo! Carbo!

Elly!

[Carbo] Diabetes?

[Ben] What?

There's an article here on diabetes.

Sometimes they can go into a coma and not come out.

[Ben] Don't even go there, okay?

[Carbo] It could be worse,

Melissa could have been on duty.

For a minute last night I thought she was dead.

I tell you mate, I am never taking a girl home again.

I'm moving to a monastery.

I think I might come, mate.

Oh, no, shift change.

We just saw Elly, the girl you brought in.

How's she doing?

She's awake and feeling much better.

That's awesome.

[Luke] But do you mind telling us exactly

-what happened? -Ah, well,

I work in a club.

-Where we met? -Yeah.

Anyway, this girl was there

and her flatmate didn't show up

and so she came back to our place

and then kind of flaked out on the couch.

She said you were giving her free drinks?

Just the first one.

It's a new club promotion.

Then maybe she had three more vodka's after that.

Yeah, at closing time, she was all over Ben like a rash.

Um, when we got home,

she just suddenly

-started acting off her face. -[Carbo] The next thing

you know, she's just lying there on the couch.

Well, I doubt it's alcohol poisoning,

but it could be drugs.

Did you give her any?

-No. -See her take any?

Can I see her?

I'm afraid I can't allow that.

Elly's accused you of spiking her drink.

What?

No way, you've got to be kidding.

Melissa, can you tell him, please.

I know Ben, he wouldn't do something like that.

Look, I'm not accusing you,

but that's what she says.

We'll do a tox screen and if she test positive,

then I'm guessing the police will be in touch.

[dramatic music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] Is Jake here or he's gone off

for breakfast already?

That's Dad.

Quick, do something.

He can't see us like this.

[Dave] Not much chance of that though, eh?

Oh, the door's stuck.

Dad!

Is that you?

Rachel, what are you doing in there?

-Are you okay? -Dad.

Help us,

we've been trapped in here all night.

-What's wrong with the door? -It's stuck.

We can't get out, mate.

Okay, hang on.

[upbeat music playing]

Oh, Dad.

Dad! Oh, thank God, you're here.

[Jake] We've been trapped in here all night, mate.

Yeah, lucky I turned up.

-Are you okay? What happened? -[Rachel] Yeah.

Paint all over me,

it's just such a long story.

All right, then we just grab your stuff.

Thanks for looking after her, mate.

I'll see you downstairs.

Have to get that fixed.

Okay, look,

last night didn't happen.

Okay, we just played noughts and crosses all night.

Okay.

If you ever want to play noughts and crosses again,

I'm up for it.

So, you stayed in that all night?

There was some drop sheets.

And we had your muffins.

Oh, well, thank goodness for the muffins.

So, did, um, Jake have to strip off too?

He gave me his shirt, yes.

Oh, so the night wasn't a complete waste then?

[Julie] Oh, poor Jake.

Dave said he's offered to stay on

-and finish the job. -Oh!

[Rachel] What, and miss his rugby game?

Oh, so you did talk then?

Well, you must have, all that time, alone together.

Yes, we might have conversed,

a little bit.

-And? -And...

Granddad.

What are you and Marjorie up to this afternoon?

Nothing. Might have a day off.

Oh, all right, well I'm off to the dry cleaners

to see if can salvage four hundred bucks.

-Bye. -Um, Dad,

just so you know,

Abbey and Susannah will be over later

with the Nine Mooners.

-Oh, yeah? -[Julie] So, I thought maybe

you might want to go to Marjorie's.

Or maybe the Boat Club.

Come on Dad, it won't get any better

if you two don't talk.

It might make it worse.

Apparently, it's not the done thing

to criticize a friend's child.

But I just couldn't sit there and say nothing.

It's not in my nature.

Oh, I'd better scoot off.

Leave you to get ready for the moon landing.

No, of course I didn't do it.

Ah, no, they haven't called yet.

I'm still waiting.

Yeah, I understand.

I'll give you a call.

That was Derek. I've been stood down, pending.

Sounds bad, mate.

Hey, do you know what, you should speak to my cousin,

he's a lawyer.

Well, was a lawyer until he got caught

at Hamilton Island using his mate's credit card.

Who were those guys hassling Elly?

Oh, yeah, the guy in the green shirt

-and his mate. -Maybe they spiked her drink

and were waiting for her to leave.

[Carbo] Only you stuffed them up

by bringing her here.

You reckon Elly might know who they are?

She might.

Back in a bit.

[door opens]

Hey.

-What are you doing here? -Hey, it's okay.

I just want to ask you something?

My father is on his way.

It wasn't me who spiked your drink.

He's a judge. He wants the police involved.

-You should go. -I think I might know

who did this.

Those guys who were giving you a hard time,

did they mention their names or?

No. No idea.

And that was early,

-ages before. -[buzzer buzzing]

Well, maybe they hung around.

Maybe one of them dropped something

in your drink when you didn't notice.

Ben, you can't be here. You have to leave now.

[Ben] You can't think that this was me.

You were the one coming onto me.

Ben, this second.

I did not do this.

Hey, you believe me, don't you?

Yeah, I don't count.

[Ben] Well, you do to me.

Do they know what it is yet?

Yeah, it's a date rape drug.

-GHB. Fantasy. -Great,

that's just what I need.

Oh, God, look, this could be her father.

-You can't stay here. -[Ben] Well, what am I

supposed to do, go home and twiddle my thumbs?

No, you need to tell the cops about those guys.

Maybe they're on video.

Does the club have security cameras?

Yeah, we... Yeah, we do.

-Thank you. -Go.

[Summer] It's so good of you to have us over Julie.

Sorry to be so early.

-No, that's fine. -Oh,

I love this house.

It is so you. So serene.

-[laughs] Oh. -[doorbell rings]

You haven't been here at meal times.

-Ah, door's open. -[Summer] I'm serious.

I can feel it, it's like... it's like

a chilled out female energy,

-just mellow, you know. -Oh.

-[Julie] Hi. -Hi, Julie.

Oh, you're early too. Yeah, sorry about that,

didn't realize how close you lived.

Mum says to say hello by the way.

[Ted] Hey, Jules, I'm off.

Oh, excuse me ladies,

I wasn't expecting you so soon.

-Abbey. -Hi, Ted.

-Susannah. -Ted.

Actually seeing as you're here,

could I have a word?

-Of course. -In private.

-Hmm. -[Abbey] Honey,

why don't you just let it go, you know.

-So, cup of tea? -That'd be great.

So, what do you want to get off your chest?

You've really upset Mum.

Not my intention.

But somehow the outcome.

You're not right for her.

How would you know that?

Because I know her. She's my mother.

You've been in her life five minutes.

And you've been back in her life five minutes.

-So how are you feeling? -I haven't seen you call

your mother once in all the time

I've known her.

And now you're back home.

At her suggestion.

At your beck and call.

This is not about me.

This is all about you.

I mean, for your mother's sake I've tried to be friends.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry you've found it so hard

hanging out with the freaks.

[Ted] Look, I don't care

whether you're gay,

have green hair or webbed feet.

I just don't like you taking advantage of your mother.

-[Susannah] We offered to... -[Abbey] I'm really sorry.

No, no, I'm sorry. It's Dad's just...

[Ted] Yeah, and you choose to let her.

-She's not a doormat. -No, she's not.

She's happy to do it.

[Ted] And you're happy to sit back

and let her do all the running.

Well, it's not right.

She deserves a life too.

I think it's your life you're worried about.

I've had my say.

I don't have to stand here and listen to this rubbish.

Mum!

Mum, I took this girl home last night

and now she reckons I slipped her

a date rape drug.

Hi.

[Julie] Well, did you tell the police

about the video tapes?

Yeah, but I don't know if they'll even watch them.

Elly's old man's a judge, he's been onto them saying

that I'd drugged her. They grilled me

-for like half an hour, Mum. -Yeah, okay, did they say

they're going to charge you?

They just said to be available

for further interviews.

Right, well, calm down.

Look, you'll be fine.

We know you're innocent.

[Ted] The trouble is lots of innocent men

have had to face a firing squad.

Did the toxicology report come through

on the girl in the car crash?

Yeah, somewhere here.

Look, I admire your loyalty,

sticking up for your ex-boyfriend like that.

That's got nothing to do with it.

Well, you were kind of quick to jump to his defense,

even before you'd heard the facts.

Problem?

Maybe for someone.

Feeling better?

Yeah. Heaps.

That was a pretty stupid thing to do.

Yeah, I know.

But he seemed like

such a nice guy.

Do you want one?

Ah, no, thanks. I wasn't talking about Ben.

But yeah, he is a really nice guy

and you were ready to ruin his life.

What?

You told everyone he spiked your drink

to hide the truth.

You took the Fantasy yourself, didn't you?

You're the one on drugs.

You live at 17 Trafalgar Street.

-[Elly] Yeah. -So does another girl

who was admitted last night.

Kirsty Matthews.

Kirsty?

Is she okay?

She was in a car accident.

It can happen when you're driving

off your face on drugs.

Well, is she badly hurt?

She'll be all right.

But she did admit that she took Fantasy.

And wow, she just happens

to share a house with you.

So will you tell your father or shall I?

He's here.

Elly took the Fantasy herself?

[Melissa] Her friend Kirsty supplied it.

Oh, she said she was wild.

[Melissa] Yeah, so when she OD-ed,

she was afraid her father would find out.

-I could have been charged. -Yeah, she was scared.

She panicked. We all do dumb things.

I mean, for what it's worth,

she said to tell you she's sorry.

I don't know what to say,

except, thanks.

You're welcome.

I guess you've got to get back to work.

Um, actually I've finished for the day,

but Luke's waiting outside in the car.

Well, at least he believes you now.

About me. I guess.

[Melissa] Um, yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

Thanks again.

Yeah, um, see you around.

You too, Carbo.

See you, Mel.

See, trust in Uncle Carbo

and Uncle Carbo will deliver.

-What? -[Carbo] Melissa.

-She came around, didn't she? -Yeah,

to tell me that I wasn't going to jail

for the term of my natural life.

[Carbo] So, look on the positive side.

Her boyfriend's in the car.

Oh, details, details mate.

At least I got her in the door.

-You? -Believe me, Benno,

it's not over until it's over.

[Dave] I tracked down Sally Treloar.

She'd given it to her neighbor and it was still

-in their shed. -Oh, darling.

Remember Rachel in it?

So tiny.

[doorbell rings]

And so noisy.

[laughs]

It goes so quick, doesn't it, love?

-Yeah. -[door opens]

-[Dave] Hi, Marjorie. -[Marjorie] Hi, Dave.

[Dave] Come on in.

-Hi, Marjorie. -Hi, Julie.

[Julie] Well, ah, we might just go and look

at some color charts

for the baby's room.

What room?

Get you a tea or coffee?

Oh, no thanks.

-I got your message. -Hmm.

Look, this business with Susannah

and the baby, I--

Yeah, I understand.

It was fine while we were on our own little island.

The rest of the world has a way of finding you.

[Ted] Hmm.

I would never ever want to hurt you, Marjorie.

I know that.

But I was thinking, uh,

that perhaps we should give each other a little space?

Space.

Mmm-hmm.

It's probably a good thing.

For whatever reason, Susannah and I clash.

And at the moment,

I think you need her and the baby in your life

a lot more than you need me.

But I will miss you.

I'll miss you too.

[cockatoo squawking]

[Ted] I don't know

if it was Cupid's fault or mine,

or just bloody bad luck.

Take care.

That's the thing about romance.

You never know how it's going to play out.
