I know, I know. You don't have to say anything.

I do though, mate, that's the problem.

Mate? What kind of mate are you?

Lexi, give me a break here.

You're telling me! It's ten minutes.

Hey, it's... it's now forty.

Well I'm here now so it's fine.

You've already been given two verbal warnings.

Here we go. Put on your manager's cap.

-This time it's written. -Are you serious?

That's the process.

Come on, Ben, what happened to "mate"?

Yeah. Well I'm also your boss.

I can't cover for you forever.

Look, Mom's really sick.

Last week it was your auntie.

The week before that was your... your goldfish?

You know what I think? I think you've changed.

'Mate.'

[Ben] How am I supposed to go from being mate

to manager just like flicking a switch?

Dear Lexi, welcome to Dumpsville.

-Population, you. -You're not helping.

Oh come on, it's Lexi. Why are you so surprised?

Mate, she was a troublemaker since we met her.

Yeah. In your opinion.

Seriously, why do you have to bother

-with this written warning? -Here we go.

Well why can't you just walk up to her and sack her?

Well because that's completely unfair

and totally against company policy.

-Oh. Lame. -How would you know?

-You've never been a boss. -Oh excuse me.

Toula let's me run my own show.

Oh what, arranging daffodils

and chrysanthemums?

Flowers is an art you'll never understand.

You know it'll all work out fine with Lexi.

-She'll respect you more. -Lexi?

Okay. So maybe not.

But she needs a wakeup call and I think it's great

that you're stepping up at the club.

I could probably step up a bit more

at home too you know.

What do you mean?

Well just in case you were having

second thoughts about taking that.

Are we seriously discussing kids again?

I know you're not ready

but no one's ever ready for kids.

They just arrive and you deal with it.

Oh, that simple is it?

-Yeah. -Okay. I'll tell you what.

How about we win Lotto and I'll become

one of those ladies of leisure,

pet Chihuahua in my bag,

-lazing by the pool. -Hot.

And we can have a whole soccer team of kids.

-How's that sound? -Do-able.

Unrealistic.

Oh, but seriously why not?

While we're young and we've got the energy.

You've seen Mom and Dad. They look like zombies.

Honestly?

I deal with kids all the time at work

and I just don't have that clucky thing.

Maybe if they were your own.

Sure. But there are a whole lot of other factors

to consider like money...

Money can't buy you happiness.

Ever heard of love buying nappies.

Huh?

Bottom line, we can't afford kids.

There you go.

-Hair and lipstick? -Mmm-hmm.

-What's wrong with that? -I thought these days

you couldn't only bothered with one or the other.

Well, it's a special occasion.

Since when did Mother's Group become a special occasion?

Could you stop talking to me? I'm trying to concentrate.

-Julie, what's going on? -I'm...

-I'm nervous okay. -Why?

Well because all of them will probably be

twenty years younger than me

and they probably all stepped out of hospital

-in a bikini. -Your just being silly now.

Oh, you know what? I knew you'd say that.

I knew you'd say, Julie you're being silly.

Look, they're just a nice, normal bunch of moms.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Nice and normal like me.

-Yeah. -Nice. Normal. And old.

Oh. Hey, Jules are you going to drink this

or am I going to follow around with it?

-No. -[Ben] Hey!

Don't let her go without saying hello.

Oh! There she is.

Hello Ruby. Yes.

Yes, it's your favorite brother, Ben,

-isn't it? -Oh, subtle.

I bet Nathan ten bucks she says my name first.

Yes. We love saying Ben, don't we?

Yes. It's much shorter than ah that other name.

Why are my kids so competitive?

Oh, just wait till it's my kids versus Nathan's.

-Oh! -Game on.

So we have my kids on the radar now do we?

Oh, well they've been on my radar for ages.

Melissa reckons we can't afford them.

Yeah well no one can.

You just have them and somehow you cope.

I'd like to be a bit more organized than just coping.

And I always thought that Nathan was my little planner.

Well your new little planner is stepping

outside the comfort zone today.

-I'm asking for a pay rise. -Oh.

-Good on you. -Yeah.

If Derek says yes then hopefully

grandkids won't be too far off after that.

Grandkids.

No, no don't mention the "G" word.

She's already worked up about the mothers' group.

Oh, I'm going to be the oldest one there.

Oh, rubbish.

You'll be the most awesome mom there.

-Yeah. -Absolutely.

Hey, hey Ruby. Yes.

Hello. It's me. Ben. Ben.

[Julie] Hey. Step away from the car.

Ben.

-Hi. -[Stephanie] Hi,

you must be Julie. We spoke on the phone.

-I'm Stephanie. Steph. -Oh. Hi.

Lovely to meet you.

-And is this little Ruby? -Ah, yeah.

She's gorgeous.

-You must be chuffed. -Yeah.

You still on the boob?

-Oh, well she's-- -Always better of course.

It's not for me to judge

if others can't quite make it happen.

Well this is Melissa and Sharne.

-Hi. -And little Lachie.

Hello Lachie!

-And this is Anh and Hamish. -Hi.

-Julie. -Hi Julie.

[Stephanie] I take it Ruby's your first?

Must be an awful shock to the system

-after waiting so long. -Ah, no.

I've got three others actually.

-Oh! Big family. -Mmm.

How lovely.

[gasps] Here's my little man.

This is Orlando. Oh, say hello Orlando.

-Oh, hello. -Hi. He's, he's, um...

-Isn't he though? -Yeah, he--

You never like to think of yours

-as the pick of the bunch. -Right.

I bet Orlie would just love to meet Ruby.

-Wouldn't you Orlie? -Oh it, it's...

Oh. Oh, look.

[cries]

Oh, they just adore each other.

-Oh. -Do I hear wedding bells?

So, uh, what do you... what do you think?

Mate, I'd love to help you out but the way things are

at the moment and all the work we've done

at the marina I don't...

I just can't see it happening.

All right Derek. I understand.

Yeah. You're doing a great job.

I don't want to lose you.

Let's just say we'll tackle the pay rise

the second I'm financially able.

-Okay. -Thanks.

Daddy?

Just a moment sweetheart I'm...

Sorry. I'm just hungry.

Is there anything to eat?

Have you tried the chip machine?

I had chips before.

Can you get someone to make me a pasta? Please?

Yeah, well I'm sure we could get the kitchen

to rustle up something couldn't we Ben?

Sure. Sure.

-Thanks Daddy. -That's all right.

Hmm.

Listen, how you going with Lexi's written report?

Good. I think. Tough but fair.

[clicks]

[sighs]

[Lexi] What is this? A high school report card?

No. Look, sorry.

I mean, sorry it had to come to this.

It's just the way things are done.

Great. This is exactly what I need right now.

Look, Lexi, that's it with the warnings okay?

So just try not to stuff up again.

It's nothing personal.

Whatever.

Here he is.

You should see what we're doing at class now mate.

Give me another month and I'd give Jackie Chan

-a run for his money. -That's great.

Who spat in your coffee and called it cappuccino?

-I'm just having a bad day. -Mm-hmm.

Oh, I tried to get a pay rise and I didn't.

I had to tell off an employee.

All part and parcel of business mate.

Yeah.

Anyway it's no big deal

not getting a pay rise at your age.

Just means local beer instead of imported.

It's a bit more than that.

Mel was talking about kids and then I...

Grandad...

Who's that?

That, Derek's daughter.

What's her name?

Hayley.

Hayley.

It's her. I know it's her.

So what do you want to do about her?

[Ted] Go to the police.

-Here. -No. Ted, it's happened.

What do you want to stir things up for?

Well, you can't let people get away with it scot free.

-Why not? -Because you can't.

Otherwise she'll be out there terrorizing other kids or...

-or people like us. -Oh Ted, what's done is done.

It's going to come back and bite her.

If you don't say something it's like you're condoning it.

-Here... here let me. -I'm fine.

Your operation? Don't overdo it.

How is putting a plant in a pot overdoing it?

You need to get a grip, Ted.

You're turning it into a vendetta.

I know she did it and it's time the police

and her father knew as well.

Her father being Ben's boss?

You really want to do that?

So Trang actually put on another half

a kilo in the last week, thank God.

Oh. Orlando put on a whole one.

-Yeah. -Well he... Yeah.

He certainly is a bonny baby, isn't he?

And that's not the only area he's showing development.

-Steph. -What, it's true.

Well let's hope he learns what to do with it.

God, if he grows up wanting as much sex

as his father, he's going to be in trouble.

[Anh] You know you're so right.

Vincent just doesn't get it.

I told him if I want anyone on my boobs

at the moment it's going to be Trang.

You have that sort of problem with your husband, Julie?

Um, well it isn't always them initiating after the birth.

[giggles] Sometimes it's us.

-Isn't it? -They're sex obsessed men.

-Absolutely sex obsessed. -Well, sex and cars.

And sport. And beer. But mostly cars.

Sorry, we probably shouldn't be talking like this.

Don't worry, Julie, Hamish is one of the girls.

-[Anh] Mmm. -Aren't you Hamish?

Yeah. Just one of the gang.

-Bye Julie. Bye Hamish. -[Julie] Bye.

Does all that man bashing get to you after a while?

[laughs] Don't worry. It's mostly Steph.

I practice selective deafness.

Don't blame you.

It is an eye opener sometimes, that's for sure.

Well we're not all like that.

It just, it just seems so...

-Competitive? -Yes! Yeah.

Mothers' groups used to be about sharing

a glass of wine and gossip.

Now everyone's jostling for weight gain of the week.

And making you look at their hideously,

ugly baby and say how cute they are.

-Orlando. -[laughs]

Oh, he's not that bad.

He's like an Orc child out of Lord Of The Rings.

-I thought it was only me. -[laughs]

So why do you keep coming back then?

You mean, apart from the ugly babies

-and the man bashing? -Yes.

It's actually a pretty decent group.

You know, Jack gets to socialize.

Besides, even stay at home dads have to tear themselves

away from the X-Box eventually.

Oh, so you're fulltime then?

Claire, my wife, earns more than I do

and she was keen to get back to work after Jack was born.

Made sense.

And I get to spend more time with the little champ.

Don't I?

[Ben] Sorry, you're still waiting.

I'll, uh, I'll send someone over

as soon as I've cleared these.

-Thanks guys. -Hey, Ben.

-What's going on? -Yeah. I know. Sorry.

Well you're supposed to be behind the bar.

-Who's on the floor? -Sorry. Sorry.

-Yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry. -Look, it's fine.

I'm onto it. It's my fault for not noticing sooner.

Ben, it is not your fault

that she's not doing her job properly.

How many warnings can a girl get?

She's just a bit distracted.

-[Lexi] Oh. I'm so sorry. -That's it mate.

She's gone. She's out of here.

-Just get rid of her. -[Ben] Derek.

[Derek] There is no room in this place

for a worker too slack to do her job properly.

And I don't have room for a manager

too weak to deal with one.

Now you're the boss.

-You get on with it. -I'll talk to her.

[Ben] I was now so far out of my comfort zone

I needed an oxygen mask.

[Julie] I mean they were so competitive.

Well not all of them. But Steph, you know Steph,

she even had the cheek to ask me about Ruby's BMI.

I mean, as if I'm going to worry

about the baby's weight. Really.

Yeah. I thought babies were supposed to be chubby.

Yeah. Well. Not as chubby as Orlando.

There's got to be something going on there for sure.

So I take it you're not going back then?

[Julie] Yeah. Course I am. No, no, no.

Some of them were great. They were lovely.

I'll just get a cup of tea.

-Hello. -Hey.

[Nathan] The job next Saturday's been postponed.

Really? Oh, okay. We'll just, uh,

we'll pull the Chapel job forward then.

Actually I was wondering

whether we could just take it off.

You got something planned?

Yeah, you're not going to like it

so I'm just going to say it.

I would like to go and see Tom.

Why? You met him.

You heard the way he talked about Chel.

-Yeah. I know it went badly. -It didn't go badly.

The guy showed his true colors.

-No second chances? -He's not worth it.

Well he's your father.

Can we just give him a little bit of slack?

No, he's my biological father and I've got the right

to choose not to have anything to do with him.

And quite frankly if only for Chel's sake

I think you should respect that.

[Ben] Okay. The moment of truth.

Time to step up. Man, or mouse.

I'm really sorry about before.

-My mom called. -Lexi.

She was crying, what was I supposed to do?

-Lexi-- -It won't happen again.

-I promise. -I have to let you go.

-What? -I'm sorry.

You've had three warnings and Derek's not happy.

No. You can't do this.

-You don't understand. -You knew this was coming.

I told you.

Mom was calling from the hospital.

[sighs]

My sister's been in a car accident

and she's in intensive care.

Like your gran last year.

You don't believe me? Call the hospital yourself.

Go on!

Look, I know I make stuff up, but this is real.

-Is she going to be okay? -I don't know.

Please don't fire me, Ben. I'll make it up to you.

I'll work late. I'll work shifts.

What if you take some time off and see your sister?

I can't! I have to pay my rent.

Okay. Just leave it with me and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, Ben.

[sighs]

Derek?

Can I talk to you about something?

Yeah, sure mate, what is it?

Yeah, well I just had a chat with Lexi and--

-Ah, Derek I need a word. -Granddad.

This isn't the easiest thing to say so just bear with me

sort of like one father to another.

What's up Ted?

Ah, it's your daughter Hayley.

We had a bit of a run-in.

-What sort of a run-in? -Yeah, Granddad, just wait--

Well she and her friends were monstering a young girl.

I tried to stop them and they turned on me.

Well you... You're trying to tell me

that you, a grown man, were attacked

by my teenage daughter?

Ben's grandmother took a serious fall

and was hospitalized.

Granddad it might not have been Hayley.

It was Hayley.

Look, I know my daughter and she's not capable

-of anything like that. -I saw it with my own eyes.

I know my kid.

You've got the wrong girl.

-End of story. -Oh, no.

No, no, no, that's not the end.

I'll be taking this further.

Believe me.

God.

-What is his problem? -I don't know.

Just let me talk to him.

Sorry.

Are you right?

What the hell was that about?

Look, I know he's your boss, Ben,

but sometimes people just have to be told.

Are you definitely sure it was Hayley?

I'd bet my life on it.

Okay. Well, did you have to go off like that?

Ben, if you don't stand up to bullies

they end up getting away with it.

What are you doing?

Don't look at me. Jake insisted.

I am making lasagna with bechamel sauce.

-Mmm. -Oh. Made with real bechamels?

-[laughs] -[Jake] No. No.

Butter, flour, milk, salt, parmesan cheese,

and a pinch of nutmeg.

-Yeah. -I hope you're hungry.

Ah, suspicious might be a better word for it.

-Oh! -Suspicious?

Yeah. I'm just intrigued by this new found

domesticity of Jake's.

Oh, leave him alone.

I think he's doing a great job.

Thanks, Jules.

Besides it's the least I can do, don't you reckon?

I mean, the number of nights your mom and dad

have let me stay over lately.

Yeah, well you've got a home.

Go to it.

Aren't you going to come with me? Please?

This morning I walked in on Ted in the dunny.

Hmm.

Kevin's worms still in the fridge?

Well, where else is Alex supposed to keep them?

Toilet scoured?

There's a duck in it, toilet thing.

So that's a no.

What about the mold in the laundry?

-Do we have a laundry? -Three strikes, sorry baby.

Oh, but I made bechamel sauce.

-Give me a break. -Mmm.

Then you're making progress.

You're really pushing things, you know that?

One day you'll thank me for it.

Mellie, home. I need a cuddle.

Derek's on the warpath about...

Lexi. Hey. What are you doing here?

Ah, Lexi brought you some beer.

To say thank you for sticking up for me.

Oh. Right.

[Lexi] Look, I know I've been a nightmare

to work with lately, but my sister's out

of ICU so I promise I'll be more on top of things.

That is great about your sister.

But I'm sorry, I haven't had a chance

to speak with Derek yet.

Oh, right.

I will. Definitely. As soon as I can.

But things have been a bit hectic.

No, that's fine. I understand.

In the meantime it's probably better

if you don't show up to your shift tomorrow.

What?

Just until I can sort things out.

No, Ben, I have to work.

I have to pay my energy bill.

-Oh, look. -Ben.

Look, seriously, you are a great guy,

but I can't take your money.

Please just let me come into work tomorrow.

-Sure. -Thank you.

-See you, Mel. -See you.

-Bye. -See you.

-Please don't tick me off. -I'm not. Lexi's right.

-No, no. no. -You're a great guy,

-but you're also... -Pathetic.

No. A soft touch.

And I love that about you but you have to toughen up

with stuff like this.

[Derek] Ben.

Do you realize I had a visit from the cops last night?

-No. -Well they're treating Hayley

like a criminal, asking for photographs,

asking questions.

Do you reckon your grandfather's

got anything to do with this?

I don't know. I know he wouldn't have

accused anyone unless he was sure he was right.

I'm sick of this. Hayley's done nothing wrong.

I want you to call him off.

I can't tell him what to do.

Well you can tell his mates from Friend Finders

that their life drawing class has been cancelled.

-Derek, this is not-- -This is your job.

I want two things. I want Lexi gone

and I want Friend Finders out of here

and if you want to keep your manager's job,

I'd get onto it quick smart.

[Ben] Sometimes it's good to challenge yourself,

shake things up.

And sometimes it just sucks.

Lexi, sorry, I had no choice.

Great.

Who am I kidding?

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be the tough guy.

Maybe it's time to start looking for a new job.

[sighs]

-[Stephanie] Julie! -Hi!

[Stephanie] Hi.

Orlando was just telling me how hungry he was.

-Weren't you, Orlie? -[Orlando gurgles]

We're teaching him signing.

-As in-- -AUSLAN.

He already knows seventeen words.

-Oh. -It makes communicating

-that little bit easier. -[giggles]

How's Ruby's communication skills coming along?

Oh, well, you know, we certainly know

a hungry cry from a tired one.

[Stephanie] That's a mother's instinct, that isn't it?

But once you've given them the tools...

Oh, they're just like sponges at this age.

So ready to learn.

Well, the... the... the nurses at the center say

that Ruby's very advanced for her age.

[sighs] They're so supportive, aren't they?

Yeah. Well, I guess I'll, um,

-see you at the next group. -Oh, no. I won't be going.

My husband's whisking me out of town to a winery

at the Hunter Valley, just the two of us.

Oh. You're not taking Orlando?

Oh, God no. The Heath method recommends

regular intervals of absence

between the mother and the child.

-The Heath method? -It's hugely beneficial

for their social and independent skills.

-Yeah. Well, okay. -All right.

-Bye. -See you, Julie.

-Bye bye, see you. -Bye.

-I'm not buying into it. -Sounds like you are.

[Julie] No, I'm not. I just don't understand

why we can't go away for a weekend

to the Hunter Valley, that's all.

-Are you serious? -Well, you know,

romance doesn't have to die.

Well, I've been wanting to take you out for ages

but you didn't wanna get separated from Ruby.

Yeah. Well, the Heath method says

that it's hugely beneficial for her

independence and social skills.

Isn't that right, darling?

[signs]

What are you doing?

She's a sponge, I'm helping her absorb.

[in sign language]

I'm not sure who needs time away from who,

but, uh, I'm up for a nice dinner at least.

Uh, I'll book a babysitter.

Well, or Dad. We can ask him, can't we?

I mean, it's better if it's family.

-Yeah, we could. -Or me.

-You? -Oh, Rachel too of course.

-Like, she'd love it. -Oh, Rachel?

Yeah, yeah, of course she would.

You guys, you go out, you have a good time.

-We'll take care of everything. -Yeah, Jake, it's kind to offer.

Well, no. I mean, I crash here

so often now I'm almost family.

-Right, Dad? -Don't push it.

[Julie] This hasn't got anything to do with you

scoring Brownie points with Rachel?

Oh... No. Not at all.

-What are you trying to say? -Yeah.

And it'd be really good for Ruby's independence.

Right. The Heath method. Right?

And... [in sign language]

[in sign language]

Yeah.

[Chel] Thanks for coming.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

[man] Okay ma'am, thanks.

I can't believe you asked them to come here.

I can't believe you didn't confirm this girl

-as your attacker. -I could have looked at

the photograph all day, I still wouldn't be sure

-it was her. -Couldn't you take

-my word for it? -And lie to the police?

She hurt you!

Oh, Ted, be honest, it's not about this.

It's about the way that you felt

after they attacked you.

-Yeah, bloody angry. -Shamed.

I am not letting it go.

Okay.

But I am.

They're having a life drawing class

at the boat club today.

Come.

Haven't drawn for years.

All that naked female flesh. Be good.

Mmm. With my luck it'd be a bloke.

I don't know how those models do it anyway.

Well, everyone's got a body.

Yeah. But most people have the good sense

to keep it covered up.

Ted, Ted, Ted.

Don't be such a prude.

Come on.

Fine.

If I run into Derek and his delinquent daughter,

I won't be responsible for my actions.

You slacking off again?

Something like that.

Are you here for life drawing?

Yeah. Dragged along here against my will.

-You'll love it. -Mmm.

Well, you're a bit early. I haven't had a chance

-to set up the room yet. -That's okay.

-We'll get a drink, eh? -Is it in the usual room?

[Ben] Of course. If you're gonna stand up

-for something... -[Ted] Something wrong?

...you're going to have to face the consequences.

No. The usual room.

-Have fun. -Mmm.

We'll get that drink then.

Yeah.

[whistles]

Ah, what every woman wants to hear.

-You look gorgeous. -Oh.

Just like you did on our first dinner date.

Yes. Well, on our first dinner date

I wasn't wearing a support garment

and concealer on my neck, but thanks.

-And... [clears throat] -Oh, yeah.

And you've scrubbed up very well.

Well, special occasion, isn't it?

That is if we're gonna Shanghai Express.

Why not? First night out without Ruby.

-Bit of Dave and Julie time. -Mmm.

Should we really be doing this?

-Jules? -I mean, she's so little.

What if she wakes up and gets confused

-because we're not there? -Like you said

it'll be good for Ruby, good for you.

Yeah, I know. But leaving her

-with Jake and Rachel. -They'll be fine.

Ruby's asleep anyway. All they have to do

-is check on her every hour. -Half hour.

Half hour. And besides did you see

how excited Rachel was when Jake told her

they were babysitting? She's been dying to do it.

I cannot believe you offered to babysit tonight.

I mean, if you're trying to prove how responsible

and mature you are, why drag me into it?

-What's the big deal? -The big deal.

I've been organizing a night shoot all day

and now I'm on call till 4:00 a.m.

-I'm exhausted, Jake. -I just figured, you know,

we're here all the time anyway.

We may as well be helpful.

Oh, so that's your plan, is it?

Make me want to escape my own home.

No baby sister at my house.

Yeah, you know what's gonna happen?

It's gonna be just like the movies.

Mom and Dad are gonna leave, Ruby'll start screaming

the second they walk out the door

and she will not stop

until the second she comes home.

No. Have a little faith. Kids love me.

[sighs] I'm just saying don't be surprised

when it happens, that's all.

Okay. Right. We've all got our mobiles on us

but, uh, I've left the number of the restaurant in there.

And, uh, if she's hungry there's some expressed milk

in the fridge. And I think pretty much

-everything else is in there. -Okay, I got it covered.

-Yeah. We got it covered. -Are you sure?

I just keep thinking I'm forgetting something.

Yeah, you're forgetting you've got a hot date

with your husband. Now come on.

-Okay. Call me. Any time. -Bye. We won't.

-Bye. -Night.

-Now. -[door closes]

See?

Have a little faith.

[dramatic music playing]

[Jake] I wonder what she's thinking about.

Boobs probably.

-I know the feeling. -[laughs]

-I'm so glad she's happy. -[Jake] Yeah.

[Rachel] I mean, I love her and everything

but she can be a bit full...

-Full on. -Mmm.

Yeah.

[phone rings]

Hello.

What?

What kind of drama?

No. I'll, um... I'll have to come in.

Okay. I'll see you soon. Bye.

-I have to go. -What?

There's an emergency at work on the night shoot

so you'll be right looking after Ruby

by yourself, won't you?

Yes.

But... why... No!

But kids love you, right?

They do. I...

Relax. I'm not gonna leave you here by yourself with her.

We're all gonna have to go.

And of course Mom's taken the car

with the car seat.

Oh, no.

-I'm gonna have to call them. -No, don't.

Don't, don't. Don't. You'll ruin their night.

I mean, you should have heard your mom going on

about all the baby sign language, you know.

Like she was going nuts stuck in here.

Yeah, but I can't seriously leave her.

Well, why not? You know, I can handle it.

You're only gonna be an hour or so.

-Oh Jake, I-- -No, Rachel. Rachel.

I can clean, I can cook lasagna,

I can look after one baby.

You're the best.

I love you. I'll be back as quickly as I can.

Okay.

[Ruby cries]

Oh, woah, woah. I know. It's okay. It's okay.

Go to sleep. It's Uncle Jakey. What?

No, I guess I'll be your brother-in-law one day.

Huh. Big brother Jackie.

Shhh. Quiet now. Quiet.

-[crying] -Oh, oh, no.

Okay. No. I'll get you... I'll get something.

-[Jake] Oh, Ruby. -[crying]

She won't stop.

It's insane. Can't you do something?

You're obviously not trying very hard to calm her down.

[Jake] No. I tried everything.

-She hates me. -Oh, don't be stupid.

It's not personal. She's probably just got wind.

[Ben] I get a bit the same when I'm gassy.

Oh, sorry to freak out.

Babies are a new kind of thing to me.

Hey, what happened to Rachel?

She had to go to work.

Well, she's fine now.

Do you wanna go with Uncle Jake?

Yes.

Does Ruby wanna come back with Jakey.

[cries]

Oh.

You see? It is me.

Why don't you head back next door

and we'll look after her.

-We will? -Yeah.

[Jake] Yeah? Are you sure?

-Yes. -Great.

-Thank you. -No worries.

-Okay. Bye. -[Ruby cries]

[Melissa] Oh, shhh, Ruby. It's okay.

Oh, look, she's just unsettled.

-Probably hungry. -You're good at this.

Go heat up that breast milk.

-Oh. -Oh, shh.

Come on little one.

Can't we just put the bottle in the microwave?

No. Unless you want the milk to heat unevenly

and scald her mouth.

Maybe we should just call Mom.

No, no, no. Everything will be fine.

But listen to her. She's freaking out.

She's just hungry. Aren't you, Ruby?

-Hey, Ruby. -It's okay.

It's me, your favorite older brother.

I almost delivered you, remember.

Hey, the milk should be ready.

-Yeah, right. -Come on, it's okay.

-Shh. -There you go.

Ah, wait, test it on your wrist first.

Oh, do I have to?

Again, if you want it to scald her mouth.

It's just weird.

That milk came out of Mom's you know...

-Oh. -Okay, okay, okay.

-There you go. -Thank you.

Still sure you're ready for a baby?

[dramatic music playing]

Oh, my God!

Jake! Jake!

Where is she? Where is she?

Ruby's gone. She's not in her room.

-Where is she? -No, no, no. It's okay.

It's her... She's next door.

-What? Why? -Oh!

Oh.

Oh.

Look at her.

So tiny.

She's beautiful.

[knocks on door]

Oh. Nathan.

Could you get the door?

[Rachel] I'm so sorry, guys.

-Shh. -Shut up.

Shh.

Oh, cute.

Sickening, isn't it?

I should probably do a postcard.

Oh, thank you so much for stepping in.

Jake's frantic. [laughs]

How'd you go?

It was surprisingly fine.

We make a good team.

Yeah. Unlike me and Jake.

Thanks so much for saving the day

and for not telling mom and dad about this.

Oh, that's the way it's gonna be played, is it?

[Julie] No. And I didn't even want dessert.

-But your father insisted. -Yeah.

Well, they had deep-fried pineapple.

Oh, it was gorgeous. It was lovely.

And I didn't even mention Ruby once, did I?

-[scoffs] -Well, yeah. All right.

-Maybe a few times. -In between each course.

-And during. -Surprised you guys

weren't calling checking up on us every ten minutes.

-Oh no, don't be silly. -No. I confiscated her phone.

Well, yeah, there is that.

[Dave] Yeah. How was Ruby anyway?

-She was gorgeous. -Absolutely fine.

-No problems at all. -[Julie] See.

I told you everything would be okay.

[Dave] You did not. You tried to bribe the waiter

with a tenner to use their phone.

Oh, I did not. Shut up.

-Bed. -Okay. Please.

Anyway, thank you so much for offering, Jake.

Not a problem. Any time.

If we're here anyway, why not?

Thanks.

Looks like we might be babysitting a bit more.

Maybe even this weekend.

-Okay. I surrender. -So you'll stay at my place

-fifty-fifty during the week? -Yeah.

If only to avoid becoming the super nanny

-and on several conditions. -Yes, yes,

the place will be clean. Not magazine clean, but clean.

Yeah. And Kevin comes nowhere near my person any time.

-Deal? -Deal. All right.

Hey, Ben. There you are.

I just got a call from the life drawing chick

wanting to confirm next week's Friend Finder's slot.

Actually Derek I wanted to talk to you about that.

I know you said you wanted them out of there

but I let them use the room.

-What? -Well, I don't think

it's right that you're playing out

a personal grudge against my granddad.

Well, I appreciate there might be something

personal in this for you but I am simply making

-a business decision. -No, you're not.

Friend Finders brings a ton of business into this club.

-This is personal. -Oh.

Granddad been getting in your ear, huh?

No. This is my decision.

And I know this means that I lose my job,

but it's my choice.

So I might sort my things out

and I'll be gone by the end of the day.

[dramatic music playing]

You did the right thing.

You're not cross with me?

What? No. Why would you think that?

Oh, it's the whole marriage thing.

Promising to support you.

Big house, nice cars, that sort of thing.

Ah, I seem to remember it being us

looking after each other.

Hey, there are plenty of jobs out there.

Husbands of high moral standing are not so common.

I guess I'll start trawling for new jobs again tomorrow.

[phone rings]

It's Derek.

Hello?

Sure.

I'm on my way.

He wants to see me.

-Derek. -Oh, good day, Ben.

Come in. Sit down, mate.

Look, there's a...

Well, there's no easy way to say this.

I just got a call down to the cop shop.

It turns out that...

Hayley's been identified

in an incident at the supermarket.

What sort of incident?

It looks like she...

might have been pinching a few items

and then she roughed up a checkout girl and...

-When she was caught. -I'm sorry to hear that.

What sort of a judge of character am I, eh?

I can't even see it when my own daughter's

pulling the wool over my eyes.

Well, I guess it's harder when it's family.

Yeah. You're right.

You're a good manager, Ben.

And if you still want the job,

I'll be happy to keep you on.

I might even be able to organize a pay rise.

And Friend Finders stays?

Yeah.

And Lexi.

Okay. I'll see you out there.

Here's today's invoices.

I had to charge a bit more on the Sanderson job.

-Extra cables. -Right.

Listen, Dad, I've been thinking--

Oh. Happens to us all every now and again.

Huh.

About Tom.

I know that you've made up your mind

not to see him again and that's your right.

But I want to.

I thought we'd been through this.

Well, it's important to me, Dad.

Maybe not until after the transplant

but I wanna get to know him and make up my own mind.

Dad, I don't want to be disrespectful to you or Chel,

but I'm not asking for your permission.

I'm just letting you know, okay?

Right.

So do you understand?

[Dave] No.

Just do me a favor.

Be careful around that bloke.

I don't trust him.

I've reworked some of those rosters

so we should have a good balance over the next week.

Oh, it's good. Very good indeed.

-Granddad. -Ben.

-Derek. -Ted.

Here for the self-defense class, are you?

Oh, wouldn't miss it for quids.

Oh. That's good. That's...

Well, hope you enjoy yourselves.

Look, I just wanted to say

that, um, I'm sorry it had to come to this.

I never had any intentions of causing you trouble

-or embarrassing you. -Yeah.

Well, it mustn't have been easy for you

and my judgment was a bit off.

Well, that's good of you to say so.

Oh.

For what it's worth I...

I am sorry if Hayley upset you.

I appreciate that.

No hard feelings?

No hard feelings.

[dramatic music playing]

So. How are we gonna spend our millions?

Millions.

Who knew Derek was so generous.

I already told you.

Miniature poodles, a pool

and now wasn't there something about a soccer team of kids?

Well, maybe we'll just forget the kids

and enjoy being rich for a while. Hmm?

-You've changed your tune. -Mmm.

Yeah. Well, I freaked out with Ruby.

No. Jake freaked out. You were just nervous.

What if we had kids and I wasn't ready?

-Ben. -I'm not earning enough

-to support them. -Ben.

I'm just not cut out to be a dad.

Ben.

What are you doing?

Stepping outside my comfort zone.

Does this... Does this mean that you want to--

Blame Ruby.

She is just too damn cute.

And I never really liked Chihuahuas much anyway.

He was quite decent about it all in the end.

It must be hard having a daughter

that causes you so much grief.

-It was big of him. -Mmm.

I'm sorry if went a bit over the top with all this.

I never really wanted you to lie to the cops.

I know.

No, it's just that I can't stand

people writing us off

because we're a particular age.

It's... It's like, Hayley in the in the street

and Derek trying to dismiss me as a crazy old coot.

Well, don't let your age affect you then.

Well, I don't.

Do I?

Prove it.
