[theme music playing]

[Dave] Some secrets are a live wire,

with real power to shock...

and maybe they should remain a secret.

Others can bite you on the bum,

literally.

All right. I'll take a look

at the smoke alarm and ceiling fan.

If you want to get onto security lights.

[Jake] Righto. I can handle that.

Dad that's that Friend Finders lunch crowd.

What, the liquid lunch crowd?

Hey ah Jake, I'd watch out if I were you.

-Shut up. -[Jake] What's that, mate?

Oh, sorry ladies.

If you want to just be careful around the ladder.

-Oi! -[laughter]

Oi!

Did you guys just set me up?

I've got no idea what you're talking about.

And as with all secrets,

to tell, or not to tell

is always a matter of timing.

Jake.

[laughter]

Yeah!

That is karma.

That is the last time

I'm turning my back on women over 60.

Oh, really?

Hey, sexy. Fancy a round of lawn bowls?

Maybe a hot game of bingo?

Okay, okay, word got out. I get it.

[Rachel] I got a text from Ben.

I heard you got a working over too, daddy.

-Yes. -[Dave] Yeah and I know

what those Friend Finder women are like.

But no one told me!

Really? What are they like, darling?

Insatiable, aren't they?

Hey! Enough from you.

-You're a bit young... -[Julie] Voracious.

Mom, mom!

Oh! Hello.

Mrs. Luscombe! Hi.

Where'd she come from?

Probably from some witches convention.

-[Julie] Rachel! -[Rachel] No it's true.

It's not regular shopping she's got in there,

-it's things for her spells. -Oh!

It's like eye of newt and wing of bat.

[Julie] Stop. She is... she's our neighbor who...

Who used to scare the hell out of us

when we were kids.

Who's a perfectly lovely person.

Who eats children.

And never gives your balls back, right?

-What? -No, cricket ball.

Like tennis balls.

Oh, always with the ball jokes.

[Dave]Yep, to tell or not to tell.

It's all in the timing.

What's all the fun about?

[Dave] And maybe now the timing was right

for a certain well-kept bombshell.

Oh Chel, I told you not to worry about the kitchen.

I'll get around to it.

Jules, don't take my cleaning away.

Have I told you how much I love your mother?

-Can I put Ruby down? -[Julie] Oh of course you can.

[Chel] Hey.

Oh.

Oh yow!

You still sore?

That's a polite way of putting it.

I was never this bad with the other kids.

You get cabbage leaves.

We're making coleslaw now?

No, no, you get a rolling pin,

you roll them till the juice runs

then you whack them in your bra.

-And that works? -[Julie] Yeah so they say.

Well trust me I'm a country girl.

It works for bruises, for sprains...

Oh wow, you should try some on your bum then.

[groans]

-Long story. -I don't think I need to know.

Come on, sweetheart.

Give Mommy and Daddy some space.

She seems very chirpy at the moment.

Well, who wouldn't be with such a gorgeous grandchild?

No I mean she's... She's in a good place.

Where's this going?

Well, remember I said I'd tell her about Tom

when everything settled down?

Oh darling, that's a really big decision.

Just look around you.

Everything seems pretty settled.

Well yes, but we don't have a serious illness

and we haven't spent the last 40 odd years of our lives

thinking that the love of our life is dead.

Yeah she's got a right to know.

What even if it hurts her?

The man is in prison, Dave.

Look, if I was you I'd want to make sure

it was worth the risk.

Find out as much as you can about Tom and his family

and then make an informed decision.

[Dave] That dilemma again. To tell, or not to tell.

And I wasn't the only one asking themselves

that question.

It's not exactly the kind of bike

that'd win you the Tour De France.

Yeah. It's not bad for something

-I found in a skip. -No.

And any cracks about the helmet...

-and we're over. -Wouldn't dream of it.

Hey listen,

I think this is a very good idea.

-I'm very proud of you. -Yeah. Well,

Camel and the boys are going to get

so much mileage out of this.

What, the same Camel who thinks his fart jokes

are the pinnacle of all humor?

-[laughs] -And on the upside,

think about how fantastic that bum is going to be.

Yeah all right. Enough of that for one day.

Why, do you feel violated?

By the over 60s, absolutely.

[laughs] Well, what about all those horny housewives

-you meet all the time? -[Jake] Oh, them I can handle.

What that actually happens?

I always thought that was some kind of urban myth.

Yeah, but it's based on fact.

It's not illegal, Rachel.

-Oh no, I know. -Hot afternoon,

job's finished, cold drinks, two consenting adults...

-Yeah but... -What?

You're not being serious?

You're not jealous?

What of living out some cliche porno fantasy?

Please.

When?

Oh! In the past.

How many times?

Can't say. Sorry. Sparky's code.

-Sparky's code? -Sparky's code.

Got to go, baby.

You... I asked you a question. Jake...

Whoo!

Ah, see you Dad.

I'll finish these books off tomorrow, all right?

-Just a sec. -What?

Have you seen this?

You billed for the wrong service.

Oh, sorry. I must've ah,

I must've misread the worksheet.

Yeah, well that's the third one this week.

Ah, okay. Well, I'll fix it in the morning.

What when you've got another hangover?

What? No.

I'm just really tired.

Come on mate I know the signs.

There's nothing wrong with cutting loose on the weekends

but just not on a work night.

Dad, I don't need a lecture.

Well how about a polite request?

Just lay off the booze during the week.

I've had a couple of late nights out.

That doesn't mean I need to go to AA.

Who said anything about AA?

It's just not like you, Nathan.

I can look after myself. I'll fix them tomorrow.

And these?

Do me a favor. School night.

Get an early one.

Okay. All right. I'll do it now.

I'm sorry...

The little bugger's done it again.

Hungover, late, making mistakes.

Nathan?

He's just blowing a bit of steam, isn't he?

You know it's going to take time

to work through Sammy, darling.

It's been two months.

Okay and drinking yourself stupid

is no way to get over a broken marriage.

He has to deal with it in his own way.

We can't just step in and treat him like a kid.

But maybe we should. I mean it's like he's got some

kind of self-destruct button.

I have no idea where he gets that from.

Ah, his grandfather.

I told you before, Nathan reminds me of Tom.

He was a lovely guy but he had the devil in him.

All part of his charm?

When I was 15.

[Ruby cries]

-Can I get that? -Ah, yes thanks.

-Coincidence? -Oh, what?

The fact that she mentions Tom.

The very day that I bring him up.

Yes well like I said unless you're sure, don't go there.

Well, this is a surprise.

Sorry. I didn't have your number.

Then I tried calling your work but they'd said you'd quit?

Last night.

So...

are you here to tell me you've told Nathan?

No.

-But someone has to. -[Sammy] No.

No, he needs to know the truth.

I told you. I can't.

Yeah, then let me break the news for you.

Nathan can't know.

None of them can.

Sammy, it's not fair to put me in this position.

-I'm lying to my husband. -And I'm not ready.

I don't understand.

If it's all over, you're moving on, a new life

then why pretend you're not here?

Because it's my new life.

No one else's business.

Not Nathan's, not the Rafters.

You don't understand.

My parents spent their whole marriage fighting,

breaking up, getting back together.

I don't want that.

Our marriage was a mistake.

I have got to stay away from him

for both of our sakes.

Please, Mel?

I just need a little more time.

[grunting over TV]

Oh, did you see that?

No wires straight from one building to the other.

That's physically impossible.

[Carbo] No not for Jackie Chan.

-[Ben] Not for Jackie Chan. -[Carbo] Hey.

[Ben] Hey, we thought you were turning in.

-No, I changed my mind. -[Carbo] You sure?

Four movies to go. We're ordering pizza.

[Melissa] Yeah, take a seat.

Mmm. No, thank you.

You want me to come with?

What you think I need my hand held?

Well, you can't go out alone, that's just sad.

Depends on the night.

How are you getting home?

Well, who knows, dad, maybe I won't come home.

Okay. Have fun.

He wants to drown his sorrows, fair enough.

Yeah, but he's starting to push it, don't you reckon?

Can't really blame him.

Guess not.

I'd be a wreck if you ever left.

Yeah.

You think Sammy's doing the same thing?

What, in London? No she's probably partying it up

with some pommy merchant banker.

Yeah, well, just sure she's just as upset as Nathan is.

Oh yeah right, so upset she got on a plane

and didn't even tell him.

Well, she had her reasons.

Well, yeah.

Why are you suddenly Team Sammy?

I just don't think we can assume to know

anything about how Sammy's feeling, that's all.

Yeah. Well, if she could be bothered to talk to us,

maybe we'd get that too.

I might have a shower.

What about the movies? And the pizza?

Ah, save me a piece.

Are you in the dog house, mate?

Well, I don't know.

There's something up her bum.

She's been acting weird for ages.

Want me to get you some Thousand Island dressing?

[snickers] You made that joke already.

And I'll probably make it again tomorrow.

Well I'll put it in my diary then.

Look, I've been thinking.

You were right.

Research the facts, then make a decision.

You know maybe Tom really was prince charming

but just went off the rails.

How are you going to find that out?

Road trip.

Time to meet the family.

-Good morning, boss. -Morning.

Mate I can't work today.

I've got some personal business to take care of.

Fair enough.

I'll get Nathan to drop you off at the job.

Righto.

Only,

where the hell is Nathan?

I thought you were rostered off today?

Mmm. Yup, someone needed to swap a shift.

Is everything okay?

Of course.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

You just seem a little... quiet.

I'm fine, I've just got some...

What? Tell me.

I'm fine, really.

But?

I've got to go. See you tonight.

Oh, what's up with you, matey?

-You look awful. -[Nathan] Thank you.

No, I'm serious.

Is everything okay?

Nope. No, I feel like crap.

I'm running late and dad's going to kill me.

[groans]

I know I'm late. I'll make it up to you.

Did you go out again last night?

-Yeah. -Hungover?

-No, I'm not hungover. -Don't lie to me.

[Nathan] Okay yes. I'm sorry.

Well, sorry's not good enough.

[Nathan] Then I don't know what you want.

I want you to start taking some responsibility.

Okay. Well, maybe stop treating me like I'm a kid!

Hey, just cool it.

Just...Just keep out of this, Ted.

I wanted you to take Jake to a job but I'm guessing you,

you're probably still over the limit.

-Well, that's okay, Dave. -I wasn't talking to you.

Hey, hey, just take it inside.

Oh, hello! Getting a good look are you?

-Nathan! -[Nathan] What?

[Dave] Where are you going?

I'm...I'm going to order Jake a cab.

No. you're not. You're coming with me.

-Where? Why? -You'll find out.

Just give me your keys. We're going to take your car.

Dad, if this is an intervention--

Just shut up and give me your keys!

-Where are we going? -Coolong.

Why are we going to Coolong?

We'll talk on the way.

[car beeps]

-Hey spunk. -Hey.

Dad asked me to give you a lift to the Kogarah job.

Oh, sweet. Thanks.

Because him and Nathan have gone on some secret road trip.

Well, he didn't tell me anything.

Ah, and you didn't ask?

No. It was personal.

Your lack of curiosity is astounding.

Thank you.

Yeah, that wasn't meant to be a compliment.

What is the big secret?

Hey? Why won't dad tell me what's going on?

Rachel, people don't have

to tell each other everything.

No I know but we do, don't we?

-Yeah. -I don't keep things from you.

Well, honestly is the best policy.

Yes.

[Jake] Mmm.

So exactly how many women have you slept with on the job?

Oh! So that is where this is headed?

You are jealous.

No just answer the question, okay?

And don't give me any rubbish about some stupid sparky code.

-Oh well, does it matter? -Yes, no, no...

Well... Yes, it matters if they were married.

Well then, you don't have anything to worry about,

little lady.

-They weren't all married. -[gasps]

[Jake laughs]

All right mate, bottom line.

Drinking yourself stupid every night of the week

is not the most intelligent way to deal with any problem,

let alone a marriage break up.

Oh, so this is an intervention?

[Dave] Maybe you need one.

Dad, I'm 23 years old.

You know isn't this how 23 year olds

are meant to act when they break up?

Depends if it's working.

Well, actually it does.

'Cause whole minutes go past when I don't think about her.

Look mate I know this is difficult

but you've really got to hold it together.

Oh, for God... How would you know that, dad?

You and Mom have been together for decades.

What would you do if she suddenly left you?

If your marriage was just over

and she didn't even give you the chance to, to talk?

Well look, I... I probably want to drink myself stupid

for about ten minutes but then I hope

that someone would give me the right advice.

That I need strength to get through this,

inner strength, not booze.

It's just blocking it out, not dealing with it.

Are you hearing me, Nathan?

-Nathan? -Yes.

I'm hearing you. Can we just go please?

-How far to Coolong? -Ah, it's an hour.

-What's your plan? -[car engine revving]

I don't know yet.

-Thanks. -No problem.

Are you sure you're going to be all right

-to get home afterwards? -[Jake] Why?

-Are you offering to wait? -No.

'Cause I won't be long. In and out in no time.

-Oh, that's funny. -[Jake chuckles]

Go to work, baby.

-I'll get a taxi. -Okay, bye.

Later.

[doorbell rings]

Hello?

[knocks on door]

Mrs. Luscombe?

I'm not interested thank you.

Oh, it's Ted Taylor from next door.

I just wanted to apologize

for what happened this morning

with my grandson.

-It doesn't matter. -Oh, it does, Mrs. Luscombe.

It won't take long.

I'd rather not.

Look I...I know you're probably upset

but Nathan's been under a lot of stress lately.

His wife left him, didn't she?

That's right.

Well, it's sad when people leave you.

Very sad.

Would you like to come in?

Yeah, yeah.

[beeps]

Uh...

Oh, hey babe, it's me.

Um, ah, I have had my meeting pushed this morning

So, um, I'm... I'm still out the front.

Um, but not for very much longer so please call me.

Okay, bye.

[beeps]

[knocks on door]

Hi. Um, I just need to speak with Jake.

Your electrician. He left this in the car.

Oh okay, thanks. I'll give that to...

Oh, no! I want to give it to him myself

because, um, I'm his girlfriend

and I need to find out how much longer he's going to be

because I need to drive him home

because he can't drive himself so he just...

-Rachel? -Hi. Hi baby, um,

you left this in the car.

Yeah.

Yeah, your car.

You drove me, remember?

This is your wheel brace.

Oh, is it?

Why are you still here?

Well, why was your phone off?

I had my hands full.

I bet you did.

[Heather] Jake, you want some cake with your coffee?

I baked it specially. Hot fudge sponge.

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

Hot fudge sponge cake?

What the hell is going on in there?

She's hitting on you, isn't she?

-Rachel. Rachel... -She is...

Go to work.

-I just... -And take that

in case you get a flat.

But Jake I just want...

I'm guessing that's the one.

A wrecked car out the front, couches on the porch.

No prizes there.

Oh, and it looks like the neighbors are still selling.

It might have nothing to do with the Jennings.

Keep telling yourself that, dad.

I know what you heard.

I just want to find out for myself, all right?

Okay.

And so an hour down the track,

have you worked out your opening line?

Nope.

It's not exactly a plan, Dad.

Look I'm the one giving advice today. Not you.

[dog barking]

Hello?

Hello?

You know what I think?

I reckon you just dodged a bullet.

Dad?

Dad are you okay?

Look I didn't come this far for nothing.

Let's talk to the neighbors, eh?

Well do you think any of them will say

anything different?

Well we'll talk to the ones that aren't selling.

Come on.

Okay, but not all of them said that they were scum

of the earth.

Not one of them had a good word to say either.

[Dave] What about that old bloke,

four doors down?

Well he was half deaf

and thought you were collecting

for the Salvation Army.

Dad, just face it.

I mean you wanted answers about the Jennings,

you've got them.

[Dave] Yeah, I guess so.

Dad, get back in the car.

What?

Just get back in the car and drive.

What we need petrol.

Ah, we'll get it at the next place.

-Nathan, what-- -Dad, it's Coby.

I can't believe it. It's actually Coby.

That's nice.

Dad can we please just go?

Oh, no. If there was ever a sign, this is it.

No, no Dad. Dad!

Shut up.

Yeah.

I told her that bloke was trouble.

Cheers mate.

I tried to walk her home after Johnno's party.

Yeah, no worry 'cause I can put in a few bucks now

and then.

She's keeping the kid, right?

[laughs] What?

Yeah, I've got to go. See you.

New edition's just come in.

Sorry?

New edition mate. That's last month's.

[Dave] Oh...

[Coby] You want them both?

-Just the one? -[Dave] Yeah.

Anything else?

Toothpaste?

Toothpaste?

-Yep. -Ah... I'm new here, sorry.

Ah, oh, just behind you.

Ah, a friend of yours in a bit of trouble, eh?

What's it to you?

Oh, I couldn't help overhearing.

Sounds like a bit of a rough situation.

Yeah, look it's not her fault.

We're just trying to sling her a bit of cash.

Boyfriend shot through when he found out she was knocked up.

So... that's life, eh?

Yeah.

All right anything else?

Got any lemonade?

Lemonade... Yeah in...

Ah, bugger it.

It's been playing up all morning.

Hey mate, actually that's not going to help.

It's not the... Not the fridge.

It's the power board. Yeah it's a bit overloaded.

Hang on a sec.

Ah, beauty. Thank you.

No, worries.

Hey, take this one on the house.

Boss will never know.

Thanks.

Toothbrush? Well toothpaste, toothbrush.

Anything else?

Actually I...

wanted to, um...

Right, I'm right thanks. Yeah, it's good.

What happened?

Two for the price of one.

What about Coby? Did you tell him?

No. It didn't seem like the right time.

You know as rough as he was he seemed okay.

Dad, come on. He's wall to wall dodgy.

He's a welfare cheat.

Then why is he working?

I don't know. They probably caught up

with him and stopped his payments.

Come on, mate, change the record.

You had me expecting Chopper Read.

And all I could see in there was a nice young bloke

trying to make a go of it.

Yeah, I already heard.

Hey, hang on.

Do you remember that weird poofy bloke

that came around a while ago?

Yeah. He's back.

Hang on.

\♪ Yeah, that's okay ♪

♪ That's okay, yeah ♪

[Julie] Are you sure this is all ours?

Who knows?

Well I never bought the kids a bow and arrow.

Well don't look at me.

Hmm.

I bought this for Ben when he was about nine.

Oh, no Dad... Oh. Well I've got to say

I'm impressed.

Though she's never given me the time of day.

You'd have to tell me your secret.

Honestly? I just talked to the woman.

I think she kept all this stuff

because she wanted us to ask for it back.

And that'd give her an excuse to talk to us.

-Oh, that's sad. -Yeah.

Well she's not the most friendly woman in the world.

No.

Then again,

loneliness can happen to anyone.

Okay, just tell me.

Please, put me out of my misery.

Sorry?

Whatever I've done, I'm sorry.

I'll try harder.

I'll do the washing up for a week, whatever.

Ben, you haven't done anything wrong.

I must've.

Am I not paying enough attention?

You think I'm taking you for granted?

-No. -Carbo then?

You want me to talk to him about all his

toe nail clippings in the bathroom?

That's not Carbo.

So it's Nathan? What's he done?

Tell me and I'll fix it.

It's not... It's not exactly Nathan.

Okay, if I tell you, you have to promise

not to tell anyone else.

Of course. This is between us.

-No, one, okay? -Okay.

It's about Sammy. She's not in London.

She never left.

-How do you know? -I saw her in a club.

-When? -A few weeks ago.

-A few weeks? -Yeah, she made me

swear not to tell anyone.

Hang on we have to tell Nathan.

No.

-He needs to know. -Yeah, I think so too

but it has to be Sammy's decision.

Have you seen him lately? He's tearing himself apart.

-I have to tell him. -No, hang on.

You just promised that this would be between us.

He's my brother. I can't keep this from him.

Yeah, and I'm your wife.

You promised. Hey, if you asked me

to keep something from my family,

I would.

Yeah but that's your family.

You don't even talk to each other.

We do.

-Oh, hey guys. -Ben.

Oh, look I've been on the road all day

so I'm pretty tired. I might leave you guys to it.

Yeah, probably a good idea.

-Don't you dare. -I'm sorry.

I have to tell him.

Ben, this is the first time I've asked you to do

anything important for me since we got married.

He's my brother.

[knocks on door]

[Nathan] Come in.

-Hey. -[Ben] Nath,

I've got to tell you something.

Oh, no I know. I'm sorry.

-You know? -Yeah, well the cloud above

my head made entirely of alcohol fumes.

I'm sorry, mate.

I've been a pain in the ass.

Yeah, I wasn't going to say that.

That's what you and Mel were arguing about,

isn't it?

Actually, it was about Sammy.

-What? -Oh, well,

you don't have to worry.

She's gone, chapter closed.

-Nathan-- -No, it's okay, Ben.

I mean it's time I accepted it's over.

She's obviously getting on with her life.

It's time that I got on with mine.

-[sighs] -No, I mean it.

I don't want to talk about her.

I don't want to even think about her.

In fact, you know what? Look. See?

Done. Finished.

Gone.

That was easier than I thought.

It's okay.

Your secret's safe. He's totally moved on.

He doesn't even want to hear Sammy's name.

Right but, um, otherwise you would've broken

your promise.

Oh, look I've already explained.

Yeah, look the day we got married,

you became number one in my life.

I assumed you felt that way about me.

If I became number one, then why didn't you tell me

-you'd seen Sammy? -I did tell you.

Yeah, but not straight away.

You had to think about it first.

Yes, but the whole time

I was dying to tell you.

I felt terrible keeping it from you.

Well then, you should understand why

I had to tell Nathan.

No, that's not the point.

This is about us. My first loyalty is to you.

Clearly your first loyalty is to your family.

What do you want me to do?

Choose between you and my brother!

Yes! Or don't you have a clue what being married means?

Of course. Openness, honesty, sharing.

Or maybe you didn't get the memo on that part.

There was something about Coby, physically,

that reminded me of the kids.

Nathan especially.

Ah, then Chel's right. Tom has dominant genes.

Mmm.

Are you regretting the trip?

A little. You were right.

It's a real can of worms.

I thought I was doing this for Chel,

trying to protect her but--

Mmm, but you never thought about protecting yourself.

Mmm.

When I was little I used to dream about my family.

My real family.

Disney stuff, you know? White picket fences,

perfect dad, mom, brother and sister.

Maybe it's best for all of us if we just leave it alone.

Well you took a risk meeting Chel.

Do you regret that?

No. Knowing's better in her case.

Were you even tempted to tell Coby

who you are?

Absolutely. But I couldn't.

You know I felt like I was going behind Chel's back.

Now that's the bottom line.

I can't make any choices without telling her the truth.

Mmm.

[Dave] And there was my answer.

As painful as this secret might be,

the timing was finally right.

Um, so what happened to that extra special cup

-of tea you promised? -Oh, sorry I forgot.

-I'm just a little bit um-- -You're preoccupied.

That's all right, darling.

How was your secret mission?

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Hmm, that won't be necessary.

I'll find out. I have ways.

Well that sounds interesting.

Did I miss something?

Actually Chel can I have a talk to you?

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, tell Chel then she can tell me afterwards.

Sounds serious.

[baby crying]

Um, I'll just take Ruby her bear.

[Rachel] Why does Chel get to hear the secret?

-Rachel... -[Dave] Look could you do us

a favor and run Jake to his morning job?

No, no, no, no, nice try.

Not until you tell me.

Just up in Kogarah.

Kogarah?

Yeah, apparently the client

from yesterday's got a few more things she needs fixing.

-Does she indeed? -Mmm.

I'm onto it.

And don't think this lets you off the hook.

You're going to have to blab eventually.

[Jake] What are you doing up?

It's Saturday.

Dad's busy. He asked me to drive you.

And you said yes 'cause I'm working at Heather's again?

Oh, Heather is it now?

Wow, not just 'the job in Kogarah.

First name basis, wow. Instant connection.

Oh...

And actually no, I'm not driving you

because of that, even if she is completely

bored and frustrated.

She couldn't be more obvious--

Actually now that you mention it--

Did she try something?

No, just after lunch yesterday

she started getting a bit, you know--

What? A bit flirtatious?

Yeah, it started when she opened the door

in that stupid white bikini.

Yeah, but then she went the whole--

She groped you?

No, offered me a drink.

Oh, my...

I knew it. And then what did she do?

Well then she said something about her husband

going away for the weekend and how hot it was going to be

and that she needed it and--

Jake that... No, that is harassment.

What are you going to do?

-I'm going to do it. -What!

Yeah I'm going to give it to her.

No, Jake!

A new air conditioner!

What did you think I meant?

No, you can't go back there after

that and give her a new air conditioner.

That's asking for trouble!

Rachel--

No, you're putting yourself out there

on a plate for her.

You're so easy.

-You're easy! You! -You're so easy to wind up.

Oh.

I'm not interested in Heather.

I'm only interested in you.

It's only you.

Really?

Now could you please get that through your thick,

beautiful skull and drive me to work?

What is it, Dave?

Ah, look it's about Tom.

Tom?

Yeah, Tom Jennings.

-Oh. -My father.

A few months back I started trying to track him down.

I wanted to find out where he was buried.

You didn't say.

Well I thought I'd wait until I found

-something first. -And did you?

Not his exact location...

Because it turns out he's still alive.

-That's ridiculous. -No, no, it's true.

I also know where some of his family are.

What family?

The Tom Jennings family.

-They live in Coolong. -That's a mistake.

That's... It's a common name.

Look, Nathan found them first.

I wanted to find out more information before

I spoke to you about it.

No, that's impossible. Did you... Did you meet him?

Did you see him?

Well not yet, no.

Well that's because he's dead, Dave.

Chel, Chel--

He died in an accident. My parents,

they swore to me that he was...

Look Chel, I wouldn't say anything

unless I was absolutely certain.

We checked the records.

No Francis Jennings was buried at that time.

We found a newspaper cut out of a Francis Tom Jennings

playing cricket in the '70s.

We met his grandson.

He's alive.

My parents.

I can't believe they could lie to you

about something like that.

I can.

I was 17. I kept telling them

that he was going to come back

and marry me.

So they told me that he was dead

so that I would give you up.

It worked.

I'm so angry.

I can't scream at them.

I can't make them apologize. They're dead.

I shouldn't have told you.

No, I'm glad you told me.

I wish I'd known sooner.

I was just waiting for the right time.

No, I mean...

40 years sooner.

[sobs] Oh.

You were trying to protect me.

Yeah, maybe they were too.

Maybe.

Maybe they were trying to protect themselves.

We should tell the others now.

Now?

They have a right to know.

Thank you.

If you need anything, just give us a call, eh?

-Yeah. -We'll come looking for you

if you don't.

I've been warned.

-Okay. -Bye.

Bye, darl.

-So... -So...

Jules always says that women have better

gut instincts about these things.

What are yours saying?

About Tom?

I have no idea but whatever I decide,

I'll cope.

We'll cope.

[Ben] Can you believe that?

My grandad's is in the slammer,

my cousin's a feral.

How's that for a family?

Hey, don't write them off completely.

And how's Nathan's form?

Here I am banging on about brotherly duty

and how I had to tell him about Sammy and this...

The whole... The whole time,

he's been keeping this whopper of a secret.

Yeah, but you didn't tell him.

Oh Mel... [Melissa] No, I mean,

you didn't tell Nathan because the timing wasn't right,

so it's the same with your dad and Chel.

Chel deserved to be told first,

I get it.

I made you a promise, I'm sorry.

[Melissa] No, no, we're both guilty.

I didn't come straight to you when I found out

and I broke a promise to Sammy.

What does that make me?

I don't want to fight anymore.

I don't want to ever fight again.

Me neither.

You're my number one.

And I'm sorry if I ever made you doubt it.

Seriously.

How about Sammy?

Oi, no mention of Sammy, remember?

We were just wondering about her, that's all.

[Nathan] Yeah?

Well, wherever she is I just hope that she's happy.

Now, what are you guys up to tonight

because I was thinking of making some dinner.

Oh, you're not going out?

-No. -[Ben] Good.

Maybe you can stay home and tell us a bit more

about Close Encounters with Cousin Coby.

Ah-ha. You're on.

[crickets chirping]

-Tea bags? -Mmm-hm.

Ooh, Mrs. Luscombe told dad about it.

-Oh. -What?

Yeah, no, no, and I looked it up on the net.

A lot of women swear by it.

No I mean what was Ted doing talking

to Mrs. Luscombe about your nipples?

Yeah, I know.

Ooh, that actually feels quite nice.

It certainly gives new meaning

to the term "jigglers."

[laughs]

Don't ruin a moment.

Were we having a moment?

-Mmm. -[Dave] A moment?

I can't remember when we had one of those.

Yes, well it's been months.

Well when you're ready you just say the word.

We could always play a game.

What sort of game?

Well how about the hot housewife and the sparky?

Mmm.

As long as you get to wear the tool belt.

[baby crying]

-Oh... -I'll get it.

I'll get it.

Hello. Yes. I know.

-Dave? -I'm sorry.

I was coming back but, um--

Oh, oh, I know. She's beautiful.

[Dave] Yeah.

And she's a cheeky monkey.

Aren't you, Rubes?

[baby cooing]

I reckon she's got your smile.

Ah, well better the Taylor smile

than the Rafter scowl.

[chuckles]

You know I've been thinking

about the Jennings family.

It's going to be as big a shock for them

as it is for us.

Mmm. Instant family, just add water.

They're not my family, Jules.

Then what are they?

Relatives.

All my family are here under this roof.

And our sons next door?

They're in the West Wing.

What about Rachel at Jake's?

Servant's quarter.

When to tell a secret comes down to timing.

And maybe where Chel was concerned,

my timing was just right.

Oh, you are.

[phone ringing]

[Dave] I had touched that live wire and survived.

The real shock, that was still to come.

Hey, mate.

How'd you go?

Rafter?

Ah. Never heard of him.

You got an address?
