That story tomorrow.

Couples Retreat! Let's go!

NARRATOR: Previously...

(SHRIEKING)

..the now newlyweds arrived at the Couples Retreat.

MAN: It's the closest we've been in weeks.

(KISSES) Gotcha!

An emotional Timothy finally lowered his walls.

LUCINDA: I've never seen that side of Tim. It was a real turnaround.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

TIM: You said over-the-top compliments to Sara.

She said that you kissed her on the neck.

Jack was at the centre of the storm...

You tapped her on the arse and she was like...

This is bullshit, I... I'm still speaking.

..when he called Tristan a whale...

TRISTAN: I hate pools, hate taking my shirt off,

and you've rocked up, being like, "Oh, look at all the whales here."

It's a joke!

I can't support that, Jack. I cannot support that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..but it was a highly anxious Eden...

..who finally revealed a massive secret about Sara.

She said, "I'm seeing my ex-boyfriend."

MAN: Meeting up with your ex-partner behind your husband's back,

that's a form of cheating.

EDEN: If I was Tim, I would want to know.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Tonight...

Cheers!

EDEN: I've been cheated on in the past,

and I had no-one tell me.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm not gonna watch Tim look like a fool like that.

..Eden's ultimatum.

I'm gonna give you the opportunity now

to tell Tim what you did last weekend,

otherwise we will do it.

Will Sara confess to Tim...

We will tell him if you don't tell him, Sara.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..as the night... Oh, no.

..descends into chaos?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(ALL GASP AND EXCLAIM) WOMAN: Oh, my god!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(MEL GASPS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

After an explosive Couples Retreat,

where their relationships were put to the test in a fresh environment,

our couples have returned to SKYE Suites

and are getting ready for the fifth dinner party

of the experiment.

For Jade and Ridge, the Couples Retreat is already a distant memory,

as they celebrated a monumental milestone this morning,

when Ridge was introduced to Jade's daughter, Vee,

for the very first time.

She was right in front of me. I was like, "Uh...hey!"

But, no, it was good.

It was so nice and warm to see you with her,

and kissing her the way you do.

I was like, "Oh!" It was very cute.

So, I met Vee, Jade's daughter this morning.

This is a really important thing for me and Jade.

To make our relationship progress to the next level,

Vee has to be a part of that.

There's a lot riding on this,

because there's no Jade without Vee.

If I said I wasn't nervous, I'd be lying to you.

The last time I was that nervous was at the wedding day,

waiting for you at the altar.

But I felt very honoured that you would put me in that position,

because I know it's not easy for you.

I want her to feel comfortable,

I want her to feel safe and secure with me,

and for her to let me meet her daughter,

must be doing something right.

You said you don't date a lot.

I know you don't introduce Vee to a lot of dudes.

So, to make the cut, I'm gonna go shadow-box.

(GRUNTS) You know?

Just... (LAUGHS) ..feeling pretty good.

(LAUGHTER)

It was so nice seeing her.

I'm, like, very excited for us all to spend time together.

It's very wholesome.

I just feel like, every week, things are getting better with us.

And now I definitely do see things long-term with Ridge.

Ready to go?

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Jade and Ridge aren't the only couple to have made progress this week.

Lucinda and Timothy are also flying high

following their breakthrough on retreat.

TIMOTHY: Those three days were pretty intense.

Mmm.

Day two was...unexpected.

At the retreat.

Lucinda brought out a side of me that I didn't know existed.

After an emotional few days saw Timothy opening up...

I'm defensive, you know?

..Timothy finally trusted Lucinda enough to lower his guard...

..and reveal his true vulnerabilities.

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I've never seen that side of Tim.

It was a real turnaround,

and I just wanna, like, be in devotion to that.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Lucinda and I, we're actually pretty in sync.

You know, I really appreciate that she was there for me.

You really are a true Gemini. (LAUGHS)

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Walls are down.

In deep flow and appreciation of each other,

and I'm just getting to know, more and more, the real Tim -

what he stands for, his soft heart.

Certainly a ride with you. (LAUGHS)

Tell you what... It's unexpected! (LAUGHS)

The ups, the downs, the ins, the outs.

I feel that Tim and I are getting closer and closer every day.

Yeah, it feels good. (CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHTER)

But while the retreat brought Lucinda and Timothy closer together,

Timothy's thoughts have now turned to close friend Tristan,

who had a tough time away following Jack's unsavoury comments.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

When we were at the pool yesterday,

you had the audacity to walk in and go,

"Oh, what - are the whales here today?"

Oh!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

These are just cheap shots.

Like, there's banter happening all over the place.

MICHAEL: But that, like, the whale comment's

kind of a body image attack.

That's just not right. Yeah, that's body shaming!

Like, that's not on at all! Yeah, it's body shaming.

If I've...said that, yeah, outrageous banter.

Like, absolute banter bullshit,

and it's not the only banter I hear here.

That's a deflection bullshit!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Everyone's worried about my boy, you know?

About Tristan? Yep.

I'm close to Tristan.

The whale comment down by the pool really upset him.

You've really taken him under your wing as your son, haven't you?

He's cool. He's the son you never had!

Mmm.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Jack has to answer for this.

It's unacceptable.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

But Timothy isn't the only person concerned for Tristan's welfare.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Tristan is so fragile today.

Jack's comment really affected him.

He was so hurt by it.

I'm just so angry.

TRISTAN: I'm struggling.

It just felt, when the whole weight thing came up, it was just like,

"Oh, (BLEEP), I'm definitely the fat dude in the group, aren't I?"

(SIGHS)

That comment, uh...it's annoying how much it rocked me.

It's the comments like that that mess me up.

I'm emotionally fried right now.

It's so hard to explain.

Just...I feel like the 14-, 15-year-old fat schoolkids again.

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I don't want him to feel that way.

He's so special. He just doesn't know it!

He doesn't see it.

I just wanna let you know that I care so much.

Thank you for being, probably, the best person in my life, you know?

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

While Tristan tries to put the whale comment behind him,

one person who can't let the comment slide is Lauren,

who is still frustrated with Jack's behaviour at the retreat.

LAUREN: Isn't Jack, like, a trainer?

Like, imagine if his clients knew

that he was talking like that about people.

Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Jack has personally attacked people for their body image.

Like, that kills me!

That really, really shits me,

and it makes me quite passionate

about, like, making Jack accountable.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

I feel like we're getting to the end of the experiment

and he's treating everyone like shit.

What needs to happen to Tori to go, "Enough's enough"?

Well, that's what I asked her on the Girls Night,

and she kind of just kept saying, like,

"Jack feels so bad, he feels so bad!"

She's in damage control mode, 100%. Yeah.

He's called me a dog, like, Tristan a whale.

I want to make Jack apologise in front of the whole group.

That's what my goal is for tonight.

"You will apologise!"

(TENSE CELLO MUSIC)

I'm so over seeing his nipple.

Highly offensive to my sensibilities.

I don't think anyone needs to see that.

(JONATHAN AND LAUREN LAUGH)

Who has a singlet, like, that goes like this?

I'm gonna find out who makes them

and I'm gonna send them a cease-and-desist.

(LAUGHS)

(TENSE MUSIC SWELLS)

How's the cold going? (CROAKY) It's not great.

(LAUGHS) How's your voice?

I feel like the one night I'm gonna need a voice,

I'm not gonna have one.

My wife is quite sick tonight.

I said, "You could stay home,"

and she said, "I wouldn't let you go by yourself."

That's my wife.

Oh, yeah, last night I had a rough night.

Um, 'cause of my comment at the pool.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Not that I said it to him.

Yeah, it's been really hard for me to get past it.

It was just a joke. Banter.

Um, but...yeah, I just can't get it out of my head. I can't shake it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Tristan's a bit of a sensitive soul,

and to see him, like, hurt hurts.

I (BLEEP) up all the time. We all do. We're human.

Let's not make, like, a habit of it, though.

Let's exercise some refinement, moving forward.

Refinement is the word. Yep.

I...you know, self...self-growth.

I'm open for it.

I always wanna improve. You can help me there.

I got the best wife here, by far,

and I've got such a strong bond with Tori.

It's something that's really special,

and definitely think we're pissing people off,

but I think they're just jealous.

I really feel like the focus, for us, has shifted.

We're, like, battling all this external noise.

Yeah, I agree.

People are getting a bit envious that we're so tight,

and it frustrates people.

TORI: There's no denying I'm very disappointed in Jack,

and he knows he's got a lot of work to do.

He knows he needs to make it up to me,

um, but everyone makes mistakes.

But I don't think that's gonna happen.

In stark contrast to Jack and Tori's controversial time at the retreat,

Sara and Tim have returned closer than ever.

Yeah, like that, yep. Perfect.

It does feel like there has been a pretty monumental shift

between Sara and myself.

Like, I showed her that I can have her back.

Jack, I've got a bone to pick with you,

because you've made my wife feel uncomfortable

over the course of this experiment,

and I've sort of brushed it off to her,

and I apologise to you for not, like, taking it seriously.

This is bullshit! I'm not... I'm still speaking.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

You've done a few things, you know, like,

you said over-the-top compliments to Sara.

You tapped her on the arse and she was like,

"Oh, I wasn't too sure about it."

But she said that you kissed her on the neck!

It's made her feel uncomfortable, and she doesn't like it at all.

It's time for me to call it out, and it's not acceptable.

Good on you, Tim. Well done, Tim.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I felt like that night was really make-or-break for us,

and I wanted to stand up and do what's right for her

and what's right for our relationship, and I did that.

And now I'm feeling the warmth, I'm feeling the love.

Looking like Mrs Great Gatsby over here.

(LAUGHS)

It's definitely nice

to see that warmer, softer side of Sara, for sure.

I've been digging and trying to find it for the last two months,

and, yeah, it feels like we've really had a bit of a breakthrough.

I think this is the best that we've been this whole experiment.

We can just hang out, the two of us.

Yeah, just chill out. In our own little world.

On this arm? Yeah, yeah.

Tim and I are in a really good spot.

The retreat has brought us closer together.

I think because we both have been so honest with everything,

it's allowed us to connect on an even, like, deeper level.

So, I guess we'll just see how tonight goes.

It could be a very tame dinner party.

(TIM LAUGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

But unbeknownst to Tim, new information has come to light.

Shocking claims that threaten to derail his marriage.

(HAUNTING MUSIC)

(HEAVY BREATHING)

And at the centre...

(HEAVY BREATHING)

..sitting on this bombshell...

(HAUNTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

..one person knows the truth.

(HAUNTING MUSIC SWELLS)

EDEN: And I feel really guilty about what I know.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

It is what's been eating me alive.

It's brought out the worst in my anxiety,

and it's really unfortunate for Jayden and I,

because it's over an issue

that's literally nothing to do with either of us.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JAYDEN: Like, has anything else happened? Just, like...

Before retreat, someone in the experiment sent me a message,

asked me for clothes,

and she's like, "I wanna wear a cool top to dinner tonight."

And I was like, "Sweet." Yeah.

So, I was sending her photos of the tops that I had

and I'd written to her, "Where are you going for dinner?"

And when I opened it, she said...um,

"I'm seeing my ex-boyfriend."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Who is it?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's Sara.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Are you ready?

A little bit nervous. Yeah. That's OK.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like she'll say she didn't do it.

That's why I've been so unsure about it this whole time.

Like, I've just not known what way she'll take it and what she'll do.

Mmm.

TIM: It's Mrs Great Gatsby over here.

(LAUGHS)

You're doing this 'cause this IS the right thing to do.

Yep. Yeah.

It's wrong. What she's done is disgusting, and it is cheating.

So... Yeah.

SARA: I feel like we get stronger and stronger.

I think that too.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

When my ex was cheating on me...

Mmm. ..everyone knew about it.

No-one told me. Mm-hm. Yep, me too.

And I felt like an idiot.

There's the embarrassment on top of the cheating,

then there's the betrayal.

I just don't know how Tim's gonna take it.

Yeah, I think Tim will be pretty upset.

I think Tim really likes Sara

and I think that's why I feel so sorry for him,

because I don't think he knows what's going on.

It's OK. I got you!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Going into tonight, if anything does happen...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Let's go.

..I feel like we're just gonna be a united front.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You're always gonna have me.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

What do you reckon? We head off? Yep.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Jayden's always got my back, but I'm just so nervous.

Without a doubt, it's going to blow up tonight,

and I might be responsible for, potentially,

breaking up their relationship.

Mmm.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

LUCINDA: Yay!

Dinner party, yay! Hi! Whoo!

Um... I'm excited.

Yeah.

Hanging out with all of our gorgeous friends.

Yeah! (LAUGHTER)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

JOHN: Well, here we are - dinner party number five,

and it comes straight after the Couples Retreat.

Of course, this is when our couples have had that opportunity

to leave the bubble of the experiment.

They're out of their routine.

ALESSANDRA: And they actually really get to spend a lot of time together.

We'll see those dynamics really come into play.

I definitely see you in a different light.

Like, much better light.

Really? Mm-hm.

There's no real hiding at the Couples Retreat,

and I find that very revealing.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..that I was friends with

that knew about my ex cheating on me,

I won't speak to anymore.

Yeah, no way. And that didn't tell me.

I've never spoke to them ever again.

Definitely feels good to be united.

Mmm. You know?

I feel like I know what I need to do to show that I have your back.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Everyone kept saying, "Oh, it wasn't my place to say it."

Well, then, whose place is it? Exactly.

Because someone needs to speak up. Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

JOHN: Here we go.

Mmm. First in.

Wow! Sara and Tim - first couple in. Yeah.

And looking very strong and very together.

(CORN POPS)

SARA:

(TIM LAUGHS)

Walking in tonight with Sara - united, same team.

Looking forward to it. Yeah, me too.

I feel like everyone's gonna have a nice little debrief of the retreat.

Let's have a bit of fun together.

Just feeling good.

Alright. Cheers! Cheers.

This was not the couple we saw last week...

Not at all. ..at the commitment ceremony.

ALESSANDRA: Not at all!

MEL: She was initially so against any form of PDA,

and now she's actually...

Kissing! ..initiating it, yes!

This is new! It's amazing.

I mean, something clearly has happened at the Couples Retreat.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I just hope there's no drama.

Like, I just can't...I don't think I have it in me tonight. (LAUGHS)

If anybody comes for us... I'ma step up.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

This has been literally giving me crippling anxiety

for the last week.

Um, it's killing me.

JAYDEN: This is a big thing,

but you know, I think we'll go in there.

We're gonna do exactly what we say we're gonna do,

and I'm pretty sure you're gonna have the support of the whole room.

Cheers to that. Cheers to that.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

EDEN: I appreciate you saying that,

but I...am really nervous

that every single person in the room

is just gonna think that I'm the worst friend ever.

TIM: Oooh, here we go.

Hello. Yeah! (LAUGHS) Yes!

You two are illegally hot!

JOHN: Lucinda and Timothy.

They look happy! They do!

They look like they're vibing. What's up?

SARA: Do you guys want a drink? TIMONTHY: Yeah.

Let's go! Yes, yes, yes, yes.

For a second week in a row,

they seem to actually be enjoying one another's company.

Yeah.

We've had a good few days since the retreat.

I suspect it's been a bit hot.

Oooh! (LAUGHTER)

Been a little bit hot between you guys.

Lucinda loves to hear about our sex life.

I do! She loves asking about it.

'Cause, you know, you stood up,

and you were like, "Let's go to the bedroom."

Everyone was, like, "Whoa, Tim! Like, holy shit!"

Power move, Tim.

You can speak... you can speak for me.

You know what turns her on and what she needs.

Yeah! Aren't you the man for the job?

Well, that gives us a little glimpse

into maybe what's happened at the Couples Retreat.

MEL: Yes!

We know that Tim's spoken up,

and that's actually made him, in a sense,

more attractive to Sara.

ALESSANDRA: Quite the turnaround.

Oh, we're so good! Oh, good.

Really letting each other in. That's nice.

It's, you know, slow burn.

He's worth it. He's worth the exploration.

We're in a good spot. You guys are?

Yeah, everything's sort of... everything...

..you know, we had a great time.

Turns out I'm not such a hard cold bastard after all.

(LAUGHS) Man's got a heart.

We've had a good run.

The retreat brought us closer than we've been in a while.

Yeah, we've had a really good run.

And I feel like everybody met the real Tim on retreat.

Um...the funniest part was when we went into Byron...

Oh, god!

..and I told her not to get an ice-cream before we got back,

and I just had to go quickly do something...

No, you got yourself an ice-cream...

I know, but I got a little one!

(LAUGHTER) But where was mine?

But we didn't have time to get the ice-cream.

I saw him on the other side... on the opposite thing,

just licking the ice-cream.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JACK: Oh, I've had enough.

I think everyone should just turn a corner,

focus on your own relationship.

If I'm sitting in the middle of that dinner table...

Nah.

..with Lauren opposite me, I am leaving.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

He is such a slimeball, honestly. He's so gross.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Like, he's literally petrified!

He doesn't want me to bring anything up.

Like, he's... he's a piss-weak coward.

I can't stand the dude!

Honestly, I'm pissed.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Thank you.

(CHEERING AND SHOUTING)

Oh, my god!

Hey! You look...

JOHN: Oh, Jonno and Lauren.

Very much linked up. Big smiles.

I know, right?

Oh! Hello! Hi!

ALESSANDRA: So, Tristan and Cassandra.

They look relatively, you know, on track.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

How you doing?

Still a bit rundown from the trip.

I'm emotionally fried right now.

It's, like, "Oh, god!"

Oh, no. Clearly on the retreat.

Something's happened to Tristan.

How are we all feeling after the big old retreat?

Obviously we all knew about the comment Jack made.

The whale thing.

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that.

So, Jack called me a whale.

I got a bit triggered by it again.

ALESSANDRA: A whale? MEL: Ohh!

That's horrible. That is so disrespectful!

Why would he do that?

I mean, he's a personal trainer as well.

Right?

So, I did get into a pretty dark place after it for a little bit.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

It makes me feel like I'm that fat schoolkid,

back in high school again, that used to get made fun of.

It's been a bit rough.

Jack said hurtful comments...

..and he's hurt the most likeable guy in the experiment.

Tristan is putting out a very strong perception that he's OK.

Now, my big question, though, Mama and Papa,

we're back in Sydney - how are we doing, you know?

TIMOTHY: But I know that he's struggling.

Yeah.

It's, um...

(INHALES) ..we're all not perfect.

Jack, he's...it's just...

..there's a lot of shit that's stacked up.

It's not like he didn't know that Tristan's struggling with,

you know, self-esteem issues.

It's not like he didn't know that,

because he's come here and he's been vulnerable with everyone,

on the couch, in front of everyone, consistently...

Yeah. ..saying these things about himself.

Yeah. So, everyone is aware.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(SNIFFS)

(EXHALES)

It's just a shitty thing to say to somebody.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

LAUREN: Fill me in. What's the 411?

Obviously, we're talking about what's happened in Byron.

Yeah.

I'm hurt. I've got secondary hurtness.

Have you? I think everyone does.

I'm appalled! 100%.

Just because Tristan's been so vulnerable about how he feels...

That's what I was just saying.

My main thing at the moment is,

if we all let the whale comment go, he will keep doing it.

Mmm.

So, once again, we're looking at a dinner party

where Jack and Tori will be under the microscope.

Yeah. Yep.

They can't seem to get away from that, huh?

Mmm.

We've got the muzzle comment, and now we've got the whale...

Crazy! ..as icing on the cake.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What makes it the worst is,

Tristan's been confiding in Jack and asking him for nutrition tips.

And me and Sara are like, "That is unacceptable!"

That kills us! (BLEEP)!

He can't keep doing and saying the things he does,

because it's damaging to people.

I don't really give two shits about Jack, at the end of the day.

What I care about is my friend...

..and I'm sick of acting like it's all good.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JACK: This is us.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like it's comment after comment, blow after blow,

and tonight I wanna have a front-row seat to the apology tour.

I want a little Gold Class ticket, maybe some popcorn.

I'm pissed.

Like, if he doesn't just, like, take accountability,

my plan is just, like, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck.

If you wanna make a dog analogy, like he keeps doing about me,

and rub his face in his piss and say,

"We don't do that, Jack."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Still to come... Um, I've got something for you.

..it's the most unique apology the experiment has ever seen.

What's this?

I'll, uh, start you with this one. It's what a man does.

Are you kidding me? Right?

Are you kidding me?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Plus...

Tim needs to know what's going on.

..Eden's ultimatum.

So, I'm gonna give you the opportunity now to tell Tim

what you did last weekend, otherwise we will do it.

Wow. What is this about?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We will tell him if you don't tell him, Sara.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

SARA: Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC BUILDS)

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

(SILENCE)

WOMAN: Hi, guys!

Jack and Tori wandering in,

and that is not a warm reception at all.

ALESSANDRA: Not at all.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MEL: All the energy has just been sucked out of the room.

Yeah.

Honestly, we've had three days of drama away at this retreat.

Um, starting to turn into a bit of a circus.

I wouldn't mind a dinner party where people just get along, have a chat.

Hey, bud.

Yeah. How are you, man?

Cheers, bro.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well, I didn't get a hello. Did you notice that?

Mmm.

Jack walked straight in to Jonno, who's shaking hands,

whilst completely ignoring me, and Tristan.

Like, he's a coward.

I don't want nothing. (LAUGHS)

I don't want shit from him.

He just shits me! He shits me to tears.

Like, he's not genuine in anything he does or says.

He should have approached Tristan, like, straight away.

Like, you're not actually sorry.

Hey, man. TIM: How are you, mate?

How are you? I'm doing well.

Jack is like a politician, but a really shit one!

And tonight I'm not buying what he's selling.

I'm not picking up his flier.

I'm crumpling it up and I'm putting it in the bin.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

MAN: Hey! (ALL CALL GREETINGS)

MEL: Ridge and Jade.

They clearly have a lot of chemistry.

They've shown that since they arrived in the experiment,

and that seems to still be flourishing between them.

How are you? Hi, bro!

Ridge and I walked in good and strong.

The retreat was really good for us.

I feel like it gave us time to bond with everyone

and see, like, how we were both around other people.

So, we walked in very happy.

I met, uh... Oh, the kid?

..Jade's daughter this morning. How is she? Yeah?

Gorgeous, man. Yeah, lovely!

I met her this morning, yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's big! (ALL EXCLAIM)

That's a big deal! That is huge!

So, this morning she was saying, "Oh, Vee's here."

And I was like, "OK, cool."

I just wanted to see what she wanted me to do.

If she wanted me to go, I was always happy to,

but I was never gonna spring that on her.

And then we sort of had this conversation this morning.

She's like, "You can come if you want." I'm like, "Uh, OK!"

It is a lot more than I expected at this point for them.

They must really be feeling connected

and like this is something that can go somewhere, really.

Now we can move forward in terms of, like, actually talking to her,

and seeing how she feels, and the rest of it.

So, we shall see.

That's awesome she's done that for you, man.

Walking into the dinner party as a united couple,

strongest in here,

I think the last three days really showed me that I adore Jade.

We've got more chemistry than the periodic table.

Facts!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

WOMAN: Hello! (CHEERING)

MEL: Michael and Stephen.

And two mates walk into a bar.

(CHEERING)

JOHN: It looks very much friend zone.

Hey!

You look gorgeous!

At the retreat, we did take a step back,

but Stephen and I wanted to walk in as a united couple,

but we're still taking it a day at a time -

it's a little shaky - and we'll see where that goes.

I got you one. Oh, thank you.

Yeah. Cheers.

(CHATTER)

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(GASPS) Oh, no.

Andie. Oh, no!

where's Richard?

What?

(ALL EXCLAIM) WOMAN: Oh, Andie!

LUCINDA: What's happened?

He's sick. (ALL EXCLAIM)

Thank goodness!

I wasn't gonna say, "Thank goodness he's sick."

I'm not happy he's sick, but thank goodness.

No, but they're OK, they're OK.

Thank god he's in hospital! (LAUGHTER)

Rich is pretty sick.

Like, man flu.

(EXHALES)

But he's at home, on the mend.

I'm trying to look after him.

That was gold! LUCINDA: It was!

That was fun. Everyone was so disappointed.

You scared the life out of us!

I do hope he's OK

and I'll check on him when I get home.

I was so worried. I know.

I was like, "Oh, my god!" Your faces! That was awesome.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

EDEN: I feel so bad.

Knowing that Sara met up with her ex.

How are things with you?

We're in a great place. Yep.

We're making big...yeah, big, big steps in the right direction.

So, yeah, really, really good.

We can both relate so hard to Tim, with being cheated on.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And we both know how morally wrong it is

and how unfair it is.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

TIM: From that night, where I stood up for Sara,

she saw what she needed to see from me, and...

Yeah, that was big for you. That was good, though.

It was a big moment for us,

and you know, I've really been seeing

what I needed to see from her after that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Whether she's gonna do the smart thing -

own it and apologise it, take full responsibility,

or she's just gonna completely deny it...

And, like, go at me... Yeah, yeah.

..for doing what I'm saying.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

SARA: I think we both think it's worth fighting for.

So, we're both just trying to figure out how to do it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

JAYDEN: We are ready to get off this roller-coaster.

I want to unstrap from the roller-coaster.

Yep. I'm...I've had enough.

We let it all out tonight. We address it.

We saw what happens and then we get to close that book.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Were you in the room when...? (CLICKS FINGERS)

You were...I'm pretty sure you...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Hey! Oh! (CHEERING)

(ALL CALL GREETINGS)

Whoops! Hey.

What's happening?

EDEN: Oh, god!

I'm feeling pretty anxious and uncomfortable,

walking in and just trying to remain calm.

You guys look amazing!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I've been cheated on in the past, as has Jayden,

and I had no-one tell me when it happened to me.

So, for six months, I didn't know.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Since then, I've never spoken to anyone that knew ever again.

Hello!

How are you? TRISTAN: Good!

Hello. How are you?

Good. How are you?

And I don't want anyone else to ever have to go through that.

Hello, hello!

How you doing, my favourite?

Hi. How are you? You guys look so good!

Thank you. You too.

Right now, I just feel really fake

to kind of play happy families with Tim and Sara,

knowing the information that I know.

Go say hi.

(CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)

How are you? TIM: How you doing?

I don't want to have people think that I'm a bad friend,

but then I also want Tim to know what's going on behind his back,

because I know that if I was Tim, I would wanna know.

What should I have? Where's Jayden?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I think Eden's out of sorts.

She's not being herself. Exactly.

Um...

Damn! Big dog!

How are you, bro? Hey!

Everyone's in black, yeah. Looking good, man!

Feeling it! Looking schmick, yeah.

Rose?

I'll join you guys on the couch in a sec.

Yeah, man. Yep.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What's happening to our loved-up perfect couple?

Mmm. Yes.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I can't protect her anymore.

Ah, ah, ah, got it.

She needs to tell Tim, and if she doesn't, I will.

(GLASS CHIMES)

Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.

SARA: Oh, is dinner served already?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well, needless to say it's gonna be a very interesting dinner tonight.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

WOMAN: That's me! Thank you, doll!

It seems like something's happened,

which has clearly ruffled Eden and Jayden's feathers...

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

..and they're uncomfortable with it.

Hi! Eden, you're giving Tinkerbell.

(SARA LAUGHS)

Oh, I'm cold!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(GROANS)

JAYDEN: Anyone who knows me

knows that I'm passionately against cheating.

Eden needs to tell Tim tonight, because it's disgusting behaviour,

it's not acceptable, and it is cheating.

SARA: Cheers, guys. Cheers.

(ALL TOAST)

Cheers.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JOHN: What's going on here?

You doing alright? Yeah, yeah, I'm OK.

You can see Jack going directly across to Tristan.

ALESSANDRA: He's not wasting any time.

I'm just gonna grab Timothy.

And he's going to find somebody else.

Do you mind...I just wanna have a chat with Tris. Do you mind coming?

Yeah, yeah, I'll come.

MEL: What's going on?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Sit over there, big fella.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Coming up, Jack's unexpected peace offering.

I know you've had a rough time, but this is for me.

ALESSANDRA: This is his apology?

Oh, my god.

And later, Sara's moment of truth.

SARA: Um, I...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

TRISTAN: So, like...

But...

Yeah?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yep.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Frankly, I don't wanna hear, "It was a joke."

No.

You know, it's not a qualifier for saying offensive and rude comments.

Timothy's brought it back up that night.

Tim's not the one to blame here.

Jack...

Yes.

Yeah, oh, sorry, I was just...

What?

But...

Oh, my god.

ALESSANDRA: This is his apology?

TIMOTHY: Jack - I think he's full of shit.

If it affected you that much,

then just put a little more emotion into it.

My job is to help people, right?

With body image issues, self-esteem issues.

I've done it for ten years.

I've made a career out of it, and I love it.

Yeah. I've got something for you.

What's this?

Are you kidding me? Right?

Are you kidding me?

A supplement... A supplement package.

To help him not be a whale!

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JACK: And I also got you this as well, bro.

A little keyring. I've engraved it.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

TRAVIS: "You are enough." You are enough.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Oh, my god, get the (BLEEP) out!

Oh, my god, you are the sweetest!

That is...

That is me.

It's disgusting!

Oh, my god, Tristan's falling for it, hook, line, and sinker,

because he needs his validation.

Because he thinks there's actually something wrong with his body.

Well, he does now, thanks to Jack. Well, clearly!

He got this little thing saying, "You are more than enough,"

and then just wrote a card for some supplements,

and I'm just sitting there going, "What?"

Jack, you're a great dude! I love you to bits, you know?

He's sweet. He's moved on.

I love you, man!

Yeah, I feel much better.

Just...just remember, mate, it's all on the inside.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm there for you.

(MEL SIGHS)

I'll help you hit some supplements up with that.

Yeah, we'll go together, yeah, yeah! Absolutely.

Good, like, yeah... I'm gonna shake your hand.

..this week has been very emotional...

I'm here for you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm not buying it.

He's trying to make himself look better,

but Jack couldn't care less.

I don't believe his apology,

and it just stacks up into a pile of shit, and it stinks.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Thanks, mate!

Good...good chat, buddy.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

He got me a supplements gift card

and he got me this cool little cross!

Check this out! It's so nice!

LUCINDA: And what's that?

It's a supplement gift card.

So I can get some supplements for weight loss and stuff.

LAUREN: Oh, my god, what is going on?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

He's really nice.

Jack gave Tristan a card and supplements.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Like, he's pretty much saying

there's something not right with him.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

He's just getting away with

what behaviour you think you can get away with.

Like, you're not actually sorry.

What did the conversation look like?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Um, I understand that it was just a mistake that was made.

Me and Jack have had a good chat. So, we're actually all good.

Buddy, read that... And then he...

He got me this adorable-ass cross.

He doesn't need to read it out.

It says, "You're enough."

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Like, as if you need someone like Jack to tell you you're enough.

I don't buy it for one second.

This is no bullshit. I didn't sleep last night.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

That one really hit me in the heart,

and I had trouble sleeping and I feel terrible.

And, um...I haven't been OK with it.

So, I'm gonna try and better myself and learn from this.

He's literally going around with his hush money,

trying to get everyone to shut up,

but unfortunately, I need more than a couple of dollars to be quiet.

But how did it go from,

"Oh, it's just banter, it's just banter, like, get over it, guys,"

to now it's this sincere, deep apology

and you know what you've done wrong?

I wouldn't have said it around Timothy...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

He wouldn't have said it around people.

That means he would still say it! That's right.

Isn't that interesting, that he's positioning that way?

He's very clinical about it.

It's calculated. Yes.

ALESSANDRA: It's ridiculous!

I'm gonna learn from this.

Like, you make a joke, you've really gotta watch what you're saying,

'cause you don't know who it's gonna affect.

That's bullshit! I don't believe a word you...

Well, that's your opinion.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like there's... like, you can't justify it, right?

But I'm not gonna hold him to the stake for it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What will it take for you to say to him, like, "It's enough"?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm probably, like...like, halfway.

Halfway. Halfway?

You've consistently made comments

about the way people look, at this point.

Well, that's your opinion. You can have it.

Do you...I really...

I said you can have your opinion.

I know what you said!

Jack's sitting there with his nipples like this,

like this big glazed Christmas ham.

Seriously, you've got no leg to stand on, mate!

You and your nipples can take several seats.

Tori, open your eyes.

Please don't insult my intelligence!

We have a very functional relationship. I'm very happy.

Tori's happy. He knows...

We laugh every day.

I'm sure you are very happy, Jack. You're getting everything you need.

He's getting away with everything.

Uh-huh. Of course.

We respect each other, we trust each other.

Oh, with the respect. Whatever, Lauren!

Respect Tori. This is what she's trying to say - respect her.

Well, do you know what,

I'm just so stressed and so worried that you are...

Does she respect you or what? I just need you to trust...

I trust you! I don't trust you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like Tori definitely doesn't have all the facts,

and I feel like there's so much more than I even know.

And she's gonna get (BLEEP) over, and that just kills me,

'cause she has genuine feelings for the dude.

I'm just over it. I'm completely over it.

I got nothing left, so...

Cheers, guys.

JAYDEN: Cheers. They're finishing their conversation from before.

Cheers, cheers. Oh! Hello.

I'm vibing you two now.

You guys...man, since you speaking up, bro, man, respect!

Nah, appreciate. (LAUGHS)

Tim and I have made, like, the biggest comeback.

MICHAEL: What changed? What clicked?

Mainly, we just talked about what... what we expect from each other.

For Tim, and why we were arguing, why it all...

..like, I guess, why we started arguing in the first place

was 'cause I felt like he didn't stand up for me

in the way that I wanted,

but I wasn't very clear on what I wanted,

and he showed up, and...

LAUREN: Yes, he did! Yeah!

And you honestly looked so happy.

Oh, I was chuffed, yeah.

He came home from the Boys Night and wanted to check up on me,

and that he was venting to a few people...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

EDEN: I feel sick, watching Tim and Sara.

It's making me feel really stressed and really uncomfortable.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Sara looked at me at one point and said,

"I just want to go to the bedroom."

(LAUGHTER)

EDEN: Tim thinks that he can trust Sara,

but it's actually a lie.

We pretty much have to get really married now, or else we're done.

(LAUGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

EDEN: I don't think I can handle watching it anymore.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

If I don't say something, then I could lose Jayden,

because he feels really strongly against cheating.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I don't wanna make an enemy,

but I'm not willing to sacrifice my relationship

in order to save my friendship with Sara.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

It's 'Bold And The Beautiful'!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Tonight I wanna stand by what's right.

Tim needs to know what's going on.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

SARA: Hi! What? TIM: What's up?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What's going on?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like Jayden and I have been arguing and tiffing

for, like, a whole week now.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's not, um...it's frustrating,

because what we're arguing over,

we both morally agree on the same thing.

Um, but last weekend, we were texting,

and Jayden saw a message on my phone...

Yeah. ..from you.

And I'm not willing to protect you over losing Jayden.

Wow. What is this about?

So, I'm gonna give you the opportunity now

to tell Tim what you did last weekend,

or otherwise we will do it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Ooooh. Ooh!

He's seen the messages.

We will tell him if you don't tell him, Sara.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

EDEN: I'm gonna give you the opportunity now

to tell Tim what you did last weekend,

otherwise we will do it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

'Cause I'm not protecting you anymore.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

OK.

So, if you wanna tell Tim now, otherwise we will do it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well, I ran into my ex.

Ran...be honest. JAYDEN: Let's be honest here.

He's seen the messages.

We will tell him if you don't tell him, Sara.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Yeah, I...I met up with my ex.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

He was here from Perth.

Um, and he messaged me,

and...yeah, we met up.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What do you mean by "met up"?

It was a planned, premeditated date?

No, not a date!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

If it wasn't a date, how come you were texting Eden,

asking for some nice clothes to go out at night with him?

I was...seriously, it was not a date.

It was not a date. Sara, he's seen the messages.

And I'm not lying for you anymore. I'm not.

It wasn't a date! It wasn't a date, Eden.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Just spill...what happened? Spill the beans. Start telling.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well, I saw the message, and it was,

"Hey, I'm going to meet up with my ex-boyfriend. He's in town."

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Shh. There was a shh emoji.

She didn't want us to say anything.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

My question is, you're in an experiment, you're married to Tim.

Why are you going out with your ex-boyfriend behind his back

and you don't want anyone else to say anything?

So...OK. So, my ex and I are actually still friends.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Poor Tim right now.

I've told Tim I'm friends with all of my exes...

You didn't tell him that you were going for dinner with him.

JOHN: I mean, Tim is physically in the room,

but emotionally, he's checked out.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

No, it wasn't dinner! It wasn't dinner!

Whatever it was, you didn't tell Tim...

It was not dinner! It doesn't matter.

I know it doesn't matter what it was, but I'm just trying to clarify.

It wasn't a date and it wasn't just the two of us.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(ECHOES) I did not tell him that I was hanging out with my ex.

(ECHOES) What did you tell him?

(ECHOES) I told him I had a friend's birthday.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I knew you were gonna cancel our date again,

for the third week in a row.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(ECHOES) Are you gonna say sorry?

(ECHOES) I know that it was wrong. I know that.

"You must reveal your latest correspondence on your phone."

I haven't given you a reason not to trust me, so what's the point?

(ECHOES) Things like that have happened to me before,

and no-one's told me, and I've walked around like an idiot.

(ECHOES) I get it.

(ECHOES) And I do not want that to happen to Tim,

and I was trying to make Jayden... (VOICE FADES)

I know what it's like to not be over an ex.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(ECHOES) Honestly, I feel like it was eating away at me, it was...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

That's some bullshit! Tim!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Come on! EDEN: That is bullshit, Sara.

That's literally bullshit.

You've been walking around with a smile on your face the whole time.

She's just lying.

You told me that whole... the whole thing about your note

was how (BLEEP) you were treated by your ex.

Yes, but I still told you... You know, how badly he treated you.

But I told you that I'm still friends with him,

and I did tell that to you.

Did she tell you that they still talk, or is that a load of shit?

No, I asked you if you still talked to him and you said you don't.

There we go.

You said that, "We have the same friends,

"so we might bump into each other here and there."

But you didn't say you still talk to him.

Yeah, so, I was out with a few of my friends and a few of his friends,

and he was in town, so he was there.

How's she gonna do this?

'Cause she's completely in the wrong, but can she apologise?

EDEN: We'll leave you guys to it. JAYDEN: Yeah, it's...it's...

Let's go. Leave... you guys can figure it out.

When we sat on the couch

and I first gave her the opportunity to tell Tim herself,

she was telling little white lies around the truth.

There's no chance she would have admitted that

if I didn't bring it out.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I think you guys need a one-on-one. It is what it is.

'Cause, Tim, I wouldn't be taking that, man.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I can see right through Sara, especially knowing what's going on.

She's telling everyone she's had a breakthrough.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

She's fake, and she's not here for the right reasons.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Look...

You don't want to hear it?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Oh, Tim. He does not deserve this.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I don't know what else to say.

"I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry" with feeling.

You can start by being apologetic!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Like, nothing happened, but I did hang out with him, yes.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well, it's a betrayal.

Deceit, and look at Tim's face.

He doesn't even know where he stands with her now.

Oh, my god, what the (BLEEP)?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Are you good, Tim?

Nah.

(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Look...

You don't wanna hear it?

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I don't know what else to say.

Like, nothing happened.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Are you good, Tim?

Oh! Nah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(EXHALES AND SNIFFS)

(EXHALES)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Nah. I'm not OK.

(SNIFFS)

I feel lied to.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Strung along.

I just feel heartbroken.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Played the fool.

I feel like I tried so hard

to, like, meet her needs and expectations,

and she was just... it was never enough for her.

Can I please have a glass of wine?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And now it's pretty obvious why.

Like, bailing on the dates.

She's lied to me about where she was on the weekend.

Just the signs are so obvious.

She was cheating on me,

and I guess the truth kind of always comes out, doesn't it?

(CHATTER)

LAUREN: Jayden, what happened?! Do you wanna talk?

What's wrong? Just...let's...

The weekend before we went to retreat, me and Sara were texting.

She asked me to borrow an outfit,

and Jayden was sitting with me

and he saw the message from her that said, "I'm going to see my ex."

Oh, my god! WOMAN: Disgusting!

Oh, babe!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I don't know what she did when she was with him,

but I was put in the shittest position,

a lose-lose situation.

I either lose a friend or I lose my partner.

Like, what am I supposed to do?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

SARA: Um, look, I didn't cheat on the guy.

I wasn't doing anything that was remotely that terrible,

however, I know that the group will make it a big deal

when it really isn't.

It's so hot in here.

OK. Yes, I went out with my ex on the weekend.

We had a few drinks together.

Yes, I did ask Eden for something to wear.

Yes, I wanted to look good for my ex.

He's dating someone. He's been dating someone for six years.

So are you.

Sorry?

So are you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I know that, but I didn't do anything with my ex!

All I did was have drinks! (ALL EXCLAIM)

What we're actually seeing here is Sara's fight style,

which is, when you bring an issue up,

she gets defensive and quite combative.

She wrote shush. Why did you tell me to shh?

Because I...like, I didn't wanna tell Tim that

because I didn't want him to get insecure.

MEL: Oh, Sara.

Because he'll feel insecure, as if it's his fault.

What do you mean 'shush', Eden?

She texted Eden, saying, "I'm going out with my ex. Shh!"

OK.

That...that's what it was!

There's no excuse.

Tim has had issues with his ex cheating on him

and I didn't want him to think anything of it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

So, you're doing it behind his back.

I think I...no...no!

Now she's thinking about how she's gonna find her way out of this.

Yes, how does she manoeuvre her way out of this situation?

Look, I haven't had a relationship in years,

so I haven't had to deal with telling a partner certain things.

Doesn't seem so innocent.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

She has not apologised, she has not acknowledged.

JOHN: Sara actually doesn't know what to do here.

Do you not think that doing this behind his back

is only gonna make his insecurities worse?

Yes, yes, yes!

So, why not just be open and up front with him?

Yes, OK! Look, look...

You should have been.

Does anyone here, anyone at all,

agree with Sara going behind Tim's back and hanging out with the ex?

Anyone? It doesn't matter, though!

Like, he has a girlfriend!

I think...I didn't cheat on Tim!

I didn't do anything with my ex! I didn't cheat!

You hid it. The hiding is the problem.

Yes. Yeah.

JAYDEN: Sara, is this part of the reason

why you didn't wanna do the phone challenge in Confessions Week -

'cause you have stuff on there, like this?

No...no!

I...I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong.

Now all the puzzle pieces are coming together.

This is the whole reason why she didn't wanna do the phone challenge.

Why did you request the whole weekend off

when you knew your ex would be here in town?

SARA: I actually had a few things to do on the weekend.

Friday night, I actually told my friend

that I would puppy-sit for her overnight,

'cause she was going...like...

You literally wrote to me, and Jayden has seen it,

"I have lied to Tim and I've told him that I'm puppy-sitting."

(ALL GASP AND EXCLAIM)

(GASPS)

Sara, tell the truth.

Are you kidding?

We've got the messages to prove it. I've got the messages, Sara.

I've seen all of it. He's seen them.

We'll go and get the messages now. (HUBBUB)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Why did you request the whole weekend off

when you knew your ex would be here in town?

SARA: Well, I actually had a few things to do on the weekend.

Friday night, I actually told my friend

that I would puppy-sit for her overnight,

'cause she was going...like...

You literally wrote to me, and Jayden has seen it,

"I have lied to Tim and I've told him I'm puppy-sitting."

(ALL GASP AND EXCLAIM)

JAYDEN: Here we go. We've got the messages to prove it.

I've got the messages, Sara. I've seen all of it.

He's seen them. (HUBBUB)

We'll go and get the messages now!

She lied to Tim and betrayed his trust,

and it's not good enough.

He deserves better.

No!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

That lady has been playing Tim like a fool.

Lying is her second language.

She is just fake.

ANDREA: Sara, you should write 'leave', you should write 'leave'.

Just bullshit.

Like, we're all here, and we're trying to work on our relationships.

Like, piss off.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

SARA: I wanna go home.

I can't even believe that.

I did nothing with my ex! I had drinks with him!

Oh, my god, everyone... (SIGHS)

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

TIM: I mean, I feel... I'm disappointed.

Like, she's obviously still into this guy,

and she's...you know, she's played me for the fool.

Like, I feel like an idiot, going along with her crap.

I'm shitting my pants,

because, like, I know that that's gonna look like shit to everybody,

and Andrea just told me I should write 'leave'.

JAYDEN: I'm sorry, man. It's not on, man.

EDEN: I just wanna give Tim a hug.

Tim, can I just have a hug? I'm sorry.

Thank you. I'm sorry. I hope you're OK.

Nah, yeah... I'm actually very sorry.

..I'm not OK, but thank you. I know, I know.

It just feels like all... this whole time

has just been smoke and mirrors, you know?

Waste of time.

I've been led on.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JAYDEN: So, how about we have a bit of civilisation in here

and actually let the man speak for himself?

LUCINDA: Yeah, no yelling, please. Yeah.

Literally, for, like, the first time in this whole experiment,

I've actually been like... I can actually see a future,

and now it's just gone to shit!

I...I feel like I've just broken Tim!

MAN: Go for it, brother.

I don't know, whatever Sara's talking in here is some bullshit.

There's so many things.

Like, she cancelled three dates in a row.

I didn't see her Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

God!

She didn't wanna go through her phone with the phone challenge task.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

She told me how she doesn't speak to her ex.

You know, and she's been cold to me from day one,

treating me like rubbish.

She's just playing me for a fool.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Obviously I should have (BLEEP) said to him

that I was going out with him!

Where is Tim?

That guy, they broke up,

but she told me she slept with her ex a month before the experiment.

What? Sorry?

(GROANS)

Oh, my gosh, Sara. Her history is shady.

Her actions are shady.

She says she cares about Tim. She doesn't.

She cares about one person only, and that is herself.

So, she's obviously OK with cheating,

which is why she's done that to you.

Exactly. She's fine with it.

MICHAEL: Yeah!

Sara went out of her way to keep it a secret.

I don't agree with it. I would never be OK with it.

And, like, we're not a week in.

Those couples are six, seven weeks in.

She should know what she wants at this point,

and if she wants to meet up with her ex,

don't drag Tim along and don't keep writing 'stay'

and telling Tim you guys are good.

Like, this is the other thing. Yeah, with your partner.

If your partner's not there,

you're not going out and looking good for your ex!

What's the point in that?

No, she didn't... she didn't just hang out with him.

There's no...no doubt in my mind.

There's no way! She's not just hanging out with him.

It's pretty obvious Sara's still got feelings for him

and she's still sleeping with him.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm shook, honestly.

Hope you're OK.

Yeah, I'm definitely not OK, but...

Let us know if you need anything at all, honestly.

You can hang out with us all weekend. I don't mind.

Yeah, appreciate it.

There is no excuse for what she's done. None.

Tim, come and have a chat to Sara.

Why do I have to go chat to her?

Stand your ground, Tim.

Exactly.

Considering Sara did the cheating...

TRISTAN: Sara's here. MAN: She's here, Lauren.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

OK.

I'm explaining what happened, and, please, nobody interrupt me.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yes, I lied to Tim.

I lied. (EXHALES)

I didn't wanna tell him that I was gonna be with my ex.

Yeah, wonder why.

Um, nothing happened. I came home at midnight.

Um, and then that was pretty much it, like...

Like, I don't, personally, buy it. I don't buy it.

And no-one at this table does.

OK.

Like, you know... Alright, well...

..well, you asked for the whole weekend off.

All I can do is own it. See him Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I mean, you knew that... this was all premeditated.

You knew he was coming. You were planning this whole weekend.

Whatever she says,

in my mind, I'm like, "She..." it's just, like, "She's just...a liar."

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

If Eden didn't raise this issue, would you have ever told Tim?

Of course not.

I feel like he would have gotten angry at me for it.

Cop out.

I'm glad that Tim doesn't buy this. Yeah.

I didn't tell Tim that I was going out with my ex

because I didn't want him to feel insecure about the situation.

No! It's not about his insecurity. It's about your honesty.

If we hadn't've spoken up and said something,

you wouldn't have told Tim.

It sounds like, to me, you're only sorry you got caught.

No, exactly. I agree, for sure. 1,000%.

What do you mean?

You're only sorry that you got caught. You're not actually sorry.

You didn't even console me in there. You didn't even touch me.

You didn't even look at me... Hold on! Hold on! You walked out!

No...

She didn't wanna see if I'm OK.

She wanted to defend herself.

She wanted to defend her position

and try and make it seem like what she did was OK.

She didn't look at me.

She didn't come to me and try apologise to me at all.

STEPHEN: Can I ask a question?

Did you have sex with your ex

a month before this experiment started?

A month before the experi... a month before it started.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Just...

Um...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Did you have sex with your ex

a month before this experiment started?

A month before the experi... a month before it started.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I...um...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..yes.

(ALL GASP AND EXCLAIM)

WOMAN: So, that's even worse, Sara!

You're sleeping with him, even though he has a girlfriend?

No, no, no, wait, sorry.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Your ex has a partner, yes?

No, no, they...no, he had... they just broke up.

(GASPS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

MEL: She's getting caught out.

Wow, yeah! They just broke up.

Very convenient.

That's a lie!

Sara, you said to us all just before that he has a girlfriend.

Yes. Yes. That's right.

And now they're broken up?

They're...they're still together, but they are on-and-off again.

No, it's lies.

That is a lie!

MAN: Tell the truth!

JOHN: This narrative, it's gone from bad to worse.

Her lies are becoming unravelled. Terrible in front of the group.

(QUIET INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Look, I really like Sara.

I do feel for her.

You know, her world would be collapsing right now, no doubt,

but we've all gotta be honest.

She needs to be humble and genuinely apologise.

So, you've been OK with adultery for...how long was that?

I did sleep with my ex while he had a partner!

Yes, I did! This is this guy?

This is this guy, yes.

It's just questionable morals. MAN: It is.

It's a question of ethics and morals.

Exactly! Ethics and morals.

But I...I didn't cheat on Tim.

JAYDEN: Cheating is not just physical.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Hiding the fact that you're meeting up with and texting your ex,

that is considered cheating, right, everyone?

MAN: Correct. There we go.

So, you have, essentially, cheated on Tim.

I have never, ever cheated on a partner

and I can (BLEEP) attest to that!

MEL: Oh, no.

Now she's getting aggressive, being combative.

She's the one here that's been found out.

Have you ever cheated on a partner?

Are you calling me out right now?

No, but have you ever cheated on a partner?

Tell me off. Hear what she did!

You said it's questioning my morals!

You just cheated on me just on the weekend!

OK, guys, can I just say,

you guys are questioning my morals and my character,

but how many of you at this (BLEEP) table have cheated on a partner?!

Raise your (BLEEP) hand!

LUCINDA: Never. Zero, nada. Never.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JOHN: None of it is sinking in for her.

ALESSANDRA: None of it.

She doesn't see that she's cheated and betrayed Tim.

She doesn't understand the group's reaction to her,

and it just makes her more and more indignant.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

TIM: She just runs when it gets hot.

She's happy to just call anyone out, point the finger,

and if she's done the wrong...

..she's been doing the wrong thing this whole time - obviously.

I've really tried.

I've been open-minded, I've been compassionate, I've been patient,

because I really do like her.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

But if Sara actually respected me,

if she actually had any remorse at all,

she would have come to me and apologised,

but she didn't.

She just left.

My emotions don't matter to Sara.

My feelings don't matter to Sara.

It's, like, the biggest hypocritical moment, you know?

She, like... things get hot for her.

She leaves. She can't handle the heat.

I need to go now! I need to go now!

I wanna leave now!

WOMAN: Are you alright, Tim?

No, just...just...defeated, you know.

I wanna leave now!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

I don't know if I can trust her again.

I feel like a fool.

VOICEOVER: Sunday...

She played me for a fool. (VOICE ECHOES)

The trust has been broken.

..is...

I was... I was really hurt.

..the fallout...

There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Sara, you've been exposed.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make Tim my priority.

I want to be respected.

Sorry, can I just finish what I was saying?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Now I don't know where I was at.

..when love...

I was like, oh, I'm falling in love with you.

..faces the fire.

Cassandra, you look a little bit uncomfortable.

Um...

(SIGHS)

No bad deed....

You said that they looked like...

..will go...

Do you trust Jack?

Do you trust me?

..unpunished.

Everything cracks...

Oh, the love! Yeah.

Sort of had a bit of a breakdown.

A breakthrough. A breakthrough.

..wide...

What kind of relationship do you have with your ex?

It's a friendship.

..open.

Friends don't get naked and (BLEEP)

This is must see...

You should know better.

I don't care what everybody thinks.

Like, I do not give a...
