Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Previously... SARA: I'm excited to go home!

Arggh!

..our newlyweds took off across the country...

What's happening? ..for Homestays Week.

SARA: Look at the water!

And some...

OK, here we are!

..got more than they bargained for.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

LUCINDA: I don't know what to say.

Friends and families weighed in on their relationships...

Man, I would struggle if I had a woman trying to control me.

Yeah.

I'd just be biting it in the arse straight away.

I reckon you just gotta give it a little bit more of a go.

..and after Lauren's friend gave Jonno the thumbs up,

their initial spark was reignited.

Yes, we consummated the homestay.

You've been giving me this whole energy of

I'm a hindrance to your space.

But Timothy's minimal effort...

I need to have fun.

Then be free, and just be happy, 'cause it ain't my life.

..undid the couple's recent progress...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

I've got nothing left.

..as Lucinda drew a line in the sand.

I am not gonna superimpose myself upon somebody

that doesn't want or celebrate me.

(STIRRING PIANO MUSIC)

I deserve better than this.

Tonight...

Tim called me and said, "Somebody rescue me!" (LAUGHS)

..homestays continue,

and Tim's friend, Ben, is back.

He's just incredibly inappropriate.

Why did you lie? Um...

Did you think you would get away with it?

I feel like I...

Why'd you flare your nostrils when you said that?

I don't like when you interrupt a story.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

But will Ben's pot stirring derail Sara and Tim?

(SOBS) We've spoken about this so many times!

I've been trying so hard, Tim!

Oh, jeez!

(SIGHS) Don't roll your eyes.

Is Ridge proving too immature for Jade's family?

That's my biggest concern.

Five more. Five?!

Push, push, push.

Tori's visit to the Gold Coast goes from bad...

I got the impression you were basic. WOMAN: Yeah.

..to worse...

Anyone that makes their coffee order their personality

is not my kind of person.

Um, no.

..as she comes face to face with Jack's nearest and dearest clients.

I feel like, when I come across a girl that only has guy friends,

it's usually because they're sleeping with all the boys.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

TORI: Jack wasn't backing me up.

Right now I'm questioning my relationship with Jack.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

With the experiment fast approaching the end...

We're almost there.

..our couples are travelling all across the country...

(LAUGHS)

..for Homestays Week.

The homestays have always been an essential part

of the Married At First Sight experiment,

as it allows our participants

valuable insight into their partner's world.

So, we did just land on the Gold Coast

for a little bit of homestays.

It could be warmer.

(LAUGHS) Could be a little bit warmer.

Could be a bit warmer.

As our couples get a taste of their partner's natural environment,

questions will arise.

We're here! We are.

This is their final chance to get those answers

before they head to final vows.

This week is also the perfect opportunity

for our couples to put into practice

all that they've learnt from this experiment so far

and apply it to the real world.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Honey, I'm home! I mean, honey, you're home.

On the Gold Coast,

Ridge is moving into Jade's family home.

JADE: I am feeling amazing, being back on the Gold Coast.

I am in such a good mood.

(GASPS) Evie!

(GASPS) Hi, baby! Hi!

I live with my brother and my parents.

Hey, mate. Nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet you.

It is a big thing for me to bring Ridge to my home.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT)

I don't really let people meet my family

unless we're, like, really, really serious.

Hi! Good to see you.

Good, thank you. Are you good?

I feel like, with Ridge, being here, it definitely is nerve-racking.

Guess you got us for the next few days.

MAN: Damn it. (LAUGHTER)

Because anyone I bring into my life

is gonna be associated with my daughter.

So, that makes it really important that Ridge handles it really well.

Yeah, it's been, like, five weeks, I think.

Time flies when you're having fun. (LAUGHS)

WOMAN: She's a lot to handle. No, she's alright.

No, she's not as bad as I thought she'd be, so...

O-ho! ..it's been pretty good.

Clear, smooth sailing.

Alright, we should unpack.

Kitchen. Oh, amazing!

Lounge. That's all you really need to know - kitchen and lounge.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

OK, so, yeah - this is where we're gonna be staying.

Sounds good to me, darling.

Bathroom is...there and there. That one? Yep, yep, yep.

That's the laundry there. Yep, yep, nice one, nice one.

All good.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I need him to be on his best behaviour while we're here.

I'm gonna need you to get off the bed.

He knows where the action happens.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Ridge is sometimes immature.

So, I feel like I'm just like, "Please don't say anything stupid."

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Oh, bed's comfy. Deece!

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Look, I'm not too sure about what's gonna happen in the bedroom there.

Obviously, you know, that's where I do my best work,

but, like, with the family home,

I don't want them to hear us giving them a grandson.

I might have to hold it for the next couple of days.

Oh, probably not. I'll just be very quiet.

Like a thief in the night.

Hopefully the sheets are clean.

(LAUGHS)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Our homestays continue in Sydney,

with Tim moving into Sara's apartment.

SARA: Welcome home, sweetie!

Wow! (LAUGHS)

This is my little humble abode.

Plants look alive.

Some of them.

Tim is moving in with me for the week.

It's exciting. (LAUGHS)

It's nice to have Tim in my space.

Living room, bedroom, balcony.

Nice view of the city.

That's very nice.

I just feel like homestay has just come at a really good time for us,

because the, like, last three weeks have been, like, tough times.

Sara and Tim's rocky relationship took a hit

when Sara betrayed Tim's trust after catching up with her ex.

EDEN: I'm gonna give you the opportunity now to tell Tim

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

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.

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

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Since then, an apologetic Sara has made attempts to mend their marriage.

SARA: Three things I like about you.

I feel like you're very understanding.

Very patient man.

Thank you. Well, I'm glad that you noticed.

(LAUGHS) Of course I've noticed.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I mean, this last week has been really good for us.

Obviously, like, everything aside,

I think we're on a really good path right now.

TIM: Sick little pad! Yeah, it's nice.

I like it, yeah.

I think Sara and I are connecting so much better than we were.

Perfect.

I'm really just enjoying being in a good place with her,

and we have been making progress.

Hello! Welcome back!

Oh, I'm so happy right now.

But trust is not something that's just gonna repair itself overnight.

(KISSES)

Hopefully, this week,

we can start figuring out how we're gonna move forward.

Well, this is your home.

Home, sweet home.

Thanks for having me. Any time!

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

To kick off Sara and Tim's first homestay activity,

they're off to meet Sara's best friend, Jackie,

and Tim's best friend, Ben,

who has flown in from Tim's home town of the Gold Coast.

I met Ben before, and, look, Ben can be a little bit much sometimes.

At the wedding... (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you, Pedro.

..choice words from best man Ben shocked the newlyweds...

You can find solace in the fact, rancid or not,

Tim will still eat you.

..and when Ben returned for a family and friends catch up...

How have you two been? (LAUGHTER)

..he turned his sights, and jokes, on Sara.

Tim, like, decided to tell me to relax.

WOMAN: Oh, no, he didn't. (LAUGHTER)

But should you have relaxed?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(LAUGHS) Hi!

He's just incredibly inappropriate.

I'm definitely not looking forward to this catch-up.

Who knows what he's gonna say?

(EXHALES)

BEN: Tim called me and said, "Somebody rescue me."

(MEN LAUGH)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I care about Tim. He's one of my best friends.

So, I want what's best for Tim.

Where have you guys been?

We've been staying at my place.

How did you like the taste...

..of the furniture?

Like, bright, and, like...yeah. It's white.

Not, like, overstyled and cold?

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Here we go! Here we go. Let's get into it.

Here we go!

I have no idea the state of their relationship.

So, I'm hoping they're in a really good spot right now.

I'm hoping it's smooth sailing.

We're good. Like, we're really good.

Yeah, we're in a good place at the moment.

Yeah, we're been growing, week in, week out.

Happy days.

Smooth sailing! Yeah, smooth sailing.

And then another storm came along.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Well, look, I think...I think...

..Tim and I went through a really hard time.

A lot's happened.

A lot. A lot. Of good and bad?

Of good and bad, yeah.

Let's rehash. Let's see where we're at now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

yeah, so, basically another couple on the show

pulled Tim and I aside.

She knew, a few weekends ago,

that I was out with a few friends, and that my ex was there...

Ohhhhh. ..and I didn't tell Tim.

Ohhh!

I told him I was doing something else.

I lied about where I was.

What?!

Anyway, so...yeah, Tim just said to me, he was like,

"Look, I'm open to, like, you showing me

"whether I can trust you again."

We've just...we've just decided to just focus on,

like, having a good time together,

and we had a really good week.

A couple of concerns for Tim.

Of all the mistakes to make,

the lying...is a little bit of a sensitive spot.

I think finding that out would have (BLEEP) up Tim

because of his past,

and it's a very sensitive issue.

I was mistreated in my previous relationship.

I was lied to, gaslit, toxically manipulated,

made to feel like I was the crazy one, the controlling one,

and that I was always the problem,

plus I was cheated on a lot.

I was really hurt by the whole thing,

because it was, like, triggering for me,

you know, being lied to like that,

and it just felt like that same old story over again, and I'm like,

"If she can just lie to me this easily about where she's at,

"and you know, like, who she's hanging out with,

"what's to say she just isn't gonna do that all the time?"

So, yeah, it was really hurtful.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JACKIE: You're just friends with your ex.

You've been friends with him for ages, so...

Yeah, but, then, why lie about it?

We're not rehashing.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I definitely noticed Sara cut him off.

I felt like there was an unresolved tension

when they were retelling what's been going on.

I definitely noticed

they just have different perspectives on the situation.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Why did you lie?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Like, this is...this is... this has been the story, right

The reason I lied was because I didn't wanna upset Tim

because I know how it would have looked like.

That's insane! Yeah.

I felt like it would have made him feel

like there was still something there...

I would have been more worried...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..about you not saying.

Yeah, there's context.

Why did you flare your nostrils when you said that?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Ben keeps interrupting me.

Um...

You're smiling while you say that.

Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I feel like I kind of just left that out

in order to, like, not hurt his feelings...

Did you think you would get away with it?

I knew that, deep down, it was wrong...

Oy, oy, oy!

Sounds like a nightmare.

I don't mind your jokes, Ben.

I just don't like when you interrupt a story.

No, but... That's all.

No, but we need the context.

I'm telling you the context, but you're interrupting.

I need a drink.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Anyways, you finish the story. He won't interrupt you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

NARRATOR: After a lunch out with Sara,

Tim's friend, Ben, has pulled him aside

to have a more private discussion.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

TIM: It's been a ride, though, hey?

Like, definitely a roller-coaster.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

BEN: I have a couple of concerns for Tim.

To me, it seems like the relationship, it's been rocky,

which is why I'd like to get a more detailed picture, I think,

of how they're doing.

I think that, like, we're just trying to enjoy our time together,

but the trust is a big thing for me.

Like, I haven't fully forgiven her for what she's done.

I'm, like...I'm definitely on the path to it,

but it's just, like, the whole lie was just...

..it was just so easy for her to do.

Yeah.

If she had've gotten away with it, I would've never known.

I just don't wanna look like an idiot, you know?

Yeah, and you did get lied to, which is...

It's a tricky position to be in. ..objectively wrong.

Yeah, yeah, I feel like I've got a bit of a guard up.

Mate, you have some trauma.

It literally was triggering as! Yeah, I can imagine.

It was like there's... oh, I'm sick of girls

just walking all over me,

and then going around lying and doing other shit behind your back,

like being unfaithful.

Yeah.

And what was going through my head at the time,

I was like, "Nah. Definitely not. Can't do this."

BEN: Obviously trust needs to be earned,

and you know, she has damaged that a little bit.

If Tim wants to stay together, which I think he does,

and work things out...

..I think they have a lot of work to do.

Are you at peace with it? Have you talked it through enough with her?

I'm not too sure.

Kind of trying to walk a tightrope

between having my standards and boundaries,

and being aware what the situation is, and how I feel about it,

and then also being open to letting her make things right.

I can see that. Yeah.

You're invested and you wanna see where it goes,

but I think if it's... sort of in her nature,

it will probably rear its head again.

I think you have to try and talk to her.

The final decision is coming up,

and it does feel like it adds an extra pressure to our relationship,

where we're actually at, and how we're gonna move forward,

if we do move forward, you know?

It feels like we need those things to be cleared

before we get to the end of the experiment.

I'm up in the crow's nest, looking out for you...

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I appreciate it. ..the best I can.

We'll see how it goes. See!

As Tim reflects on Ben's advice...

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

JACK: Welcome to the Goldie, babe.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

..Tori and Jack are arriving in Jack's hometown of the Gold Coast.

Little bit of beach for you.

(SIREN WAILS)

Have you seen Ripley's before?

We're in my hometown - sunny Gold Coast.

I love the Gold Coast.

It's just palm trees, sunshine, beaches.

Relaxed vibes. Very chill.

Everyone's normally pretty happy around the Gold Coast.

(DOG BARKS FRANTICALLY)

I just love it, and I do feel like, if we were gonna move in together,

it would be on the Gold Coast, so Tori's gotta accept it,

but I just don't see how she won't like it. (LAUGHS)

How you feeling? Excited?

TORI: I guess. Excited to unpack your bag?

I guess.

But Tori's mind is elsewhere,

after their last couch session has left her with doubts

about Jack's commitment to the relationship.

How do you feel about Tori?

Something I've told Tori a few times -

like, I'm actually sleeping really well.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Yeah, I like you a lot.

Oh, come on!

She helps you sleep? You like her a lot?

Here's the thing.

Nine weeks into this experiment,

and I'm not getting a sense of your feelings...

..and even whether you're genuine about it.

And if I'm not sure about it,

it worries me that Tori may not know where she stands with you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Definitely gonna be a nice couple of days, that's for sure.

TORI: We need it.

The last couch session, it was really uncomfortable.

It was very overwhelming.

The heavy door, eh? (LAUGHS) Yes.

And I need to know, in my heart of hearts,

how Jack feels about me.

Let's go out here.

'Cause he's told me he wouldn't move to Melbourne.

So...for us to move forward,

I'm going to be the one that's moving here.

Being home, I have my family there, I hang out with them a lot,

and for me to, like, uproot my life and move,

it's me that's sacrificing everything.

Yeah.

Is it nice to be home?

As soon as I landed here, I just felt better - felt relaxed.

I can see that.

Yeah, I didn't think, coming into this experiment,

like, it would be so full on - like, trying to win you over and...

Do you think you've been successful in that?

Uh, yeah, I do. I think I've won you over.

(LAUGHS) Do you think I could live here?

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I...yeah, I struggle to see how anyone couldn't.

Maybe, like...

..yeah, I reckon you could, um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

The climate, for me, would be the biggest challenge

I could see you facing, um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

TORI: I just need to come away from this feeling certain

Jack is 100% committed...

..because if there's uncertainty, I'm not moving, no.

There is no food here, babe. No tuna, no rice.

What do we need?

Tuna. How many cans?

Six per day - 24.

And I'll get eight bags of rice, microwaveable.

What do you need?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

SARA: You hungry? TIM: Yeah, I'm starving!

OK, perfect! Lots of food coming.

NARRATOR: After seeking advice from friend Ben,

Tim has unresolved feelings about his relationship with Sara.

Do you need a hand with anything?

No, it's pretty much done now.

TIM: I think Ben's advice has helped me validate

some of my concerns around my relationship with Sara.

I think that we've definitely got a lot to work through still.

Yum!

You know, lying and, you know, catching up with her ex

was very hurtful to me.

If we wanna make this work,

it would be nice for her to acknowledge what she's done to me

and how big of a mistake it was,

and to give me the reassurance that I need

that, if she really does want to move forward with things,

she won't be doing that again.

If you had three words to describe this experiment...

..what would you... what would you...

Describe it? ..describe it as?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I would say it's emotional.

Growth.

Rewarding.

What about you? Pretty solid.

Emotional development - personal and emotional.

(TIM CLEARS THROAT)

And...

..challenging...

..but I think it's been a lot of things, to be honest.

(HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um...alright.

So, speaking of challenging, then,

what do you think the biggest challenge has been

throughout this experiment?

Do you feel like there's been, like, a moment or a time

that's been the most challenging?

Specifically, a moment?

Um...I would say, overall, the most challenging thing, for me,

would have been, like...

How do I say this?

Allowing you in. Letting me in, yeah.

Mmm.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I was kind of shocked, hearing her say that,

because the biggest challenge in my mind

is Sara lying to me and catching up with her ex.

Yeah, I guess that would have been the most challenging,

was, like, breaking through those walls, I guess.

In my head, I'm like,

"You can't just sweep it under the rug like that."

I would have probably liked to see a little bit more remorse.

I feel like I actually nailed this steak.

I wasn't happy about it. I was really upset.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yeah, it was a disappointing moment.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

The fact you guys haven't had sex - a concern for me.

..Jack's clients give Tori their brutal honesty.

Based on the vows, she's not someone that I would be friends with.

I got the impression you were basic. WOMAN: Yeah.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And later...

I need you to empathise with me and not defend your position.

..will Tim's quest for reassurance...

I'm telling you it's a concern of mine,

and you're telling me not to bring it up anymore.

We have spoken about not bringing this up anymore!

..push Sara too far?

(SOBS) I've been trying so (BLEEP) hard, Tim!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

('MORNING MOOD' BY GRIEG PLAYS)

(ALARM BLARES)

JACK: This is gonna be a no bullshit exercise.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Keep going, keep going.

All the way. All the way.

Push, push, push!

TORI: Oh, my Lord. I wanna punch you!

NARRATOR: Drill sergeant Jack is wasting no time

introducing Tori to his day-to-day life on the Gold Coast

at a 5AM gym session with client Tamara.

One more for three. Hold.

One.

In your head, thank you.

I do like to let my clients know that this is my turf.

So, you're gonna do what I say.

(CLICKS FINGERS) Give me three.

Click at me again and I'm gonna biff this at you...

This is my house. I can click in here.

(LAUGHS)

The sun's not even out,

and it's too early to be dealing with big gym energy, Jack.

I hate PT Jack. (LAUGHS)

Should be feeling the burn!

I wanna burn you.

Tori's one of them annoying clients.

She's nothing I haven't seen before, nothing I can't handle.

Two. Last one. That was six!

Alright, break and do five more.

She was giving me too much backchat.

Tori needs to know that this is my life, and it could be her life,

if she does uproot and move to the Gold Coast.

I'll make it longer if you give me any grief.

Go home.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I've asked them so many times to get rid of that photo.

They just won't change it.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

JADE: Wakey-wakey. RIDGE: Mmm.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

In the heart of Homestays Week,

Jade and Ridge will be joining Jade's family in a braai,

a traditional South African barbecue.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

JADE: Have you ever had to cut things up?

RIDGE: Yeah, heaps! I did heaps in Food Tech.

Babe!

Ridge and I haven't known each other for very long.

So, I am a bit nervous,

like, having him at a family lunch, of all things.

If Ridge made any jokes about us being intimate

or anything to do with that,

he would be stupid!

I do not want to deal with that.

(LAUGHS)

Is it always pretty much the same food at a braai?

Yep.

WOMAN: What did you think of Ridge when you met him at the wedding?

Um, I thought he was a little bit immature.

If I had to describe myself,

I would say I was kind, caring, compassionate, and gorgeous...

..but that's just scratching the surface.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I know the experts have their work cut out

finding me the perfect match,

but now...boys, give us a deece.

MEN: Deece.

JASMINE: Jade said it's going really well.

She said they're getting along really well,

but she does need a mature person that's gonna take on a child.

So, I don't know.

I guess we'll see.

Would you like a roll, babe? Yeah, alright. Why not?

'Cause you put your sausage on the roll.

Oh, deece!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

OK! (LAUGHS)

Yep. The sausage is good, eh?

Deece!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, Jade, what don't you like about Ridge?

What don't I like?

Well... Oh, here we go.

(LAUGHS) He's a lot better now.

Um, at the start, he would talk very immature.

He just said, like, a lot of weird words,

and, like, there was such a language barrier...

Like 'deece'?

So much worse than that.

What - like dogging?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

It's not funny. Like, the word just sounds so dirty.

I just hate the word.

Don't roll your eyes.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We're adults now.

So, what she means is, it's time to grow up.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And you still live at home, hey?

So, you've never lived out of home? Nope.

And you're 28? Does this count?

(JADE LAUGHS) No.

Being in SKYE for three months doesn't count?

No. Oh.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

MAN: I don't usually get involved with the girls' relationships,

things like that.

I tend to stay out of them and let them sort it out.

Being a stepdad's not easy.

It's not for the faint-hearted, and blended families are hard.

It's a steep learning curve, put it that way, as a stepfather,

and for him then to step into Victoria's life,

there's a lot to consider.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Um, honestly it doesn't faze me at all,

because I want to be with Jade,

and I understand Vee is... like, I don't get Jade without Vee.

I get you. WOMAN: It's a package deal.

Yeah, it's a package deal, and I get that.

That's kind of what I wanted to hear, to be honest.

100%.

It's a package deal, and you take it or leave it.

Um, obviously I've seen her be a great mum,

and I'd love to be a part of it.

All I can do is just be there, and willing.

It's up to her, and up to Vee, on wherever else it goes, so...

Who's gonna move?

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

I think...I think, um, it would probably be more appropriate

for me to come this way,

purely because of Vee.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

I will take this inside. Mm-hm.

Oh!

Despite Ridge being on his best behaviour,

Jade's sister, Jasmine, still has concerns

as to just how serious Ridge is

about stepping into the role of stepfather,

and if he's willing to move from Sydney to the Gold Coast

to be with Jade.

JASMINE: Jade, do you feel like Ridge is immature, or no?

Um...

Like, as much as you thought?

No, not as much as I thought.

Like, I thought he was gonna be a lot worse,

and, like, he is good most of the time.

Do you guys like him, though?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I like him. I don't think... But?

No, I like him. I feel like there was a but there.

No, there's no but.

It's just I'm worried... after this, Jade, yes.

Like, we know that when you get involved with somebody, Jade,

and you really like them,

you put everything into it,

and if it doesn't work out,

you're always the one that crumbles.

She's... Oh, I'm gonna cry.

I know! She's making me cry! I know.

(LAUGHTER)

Um, yeah, so...I feel like I've just been through some stuff.

(LAUGHS)

Um...

(HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like my parents have just had to pick me up,

like...in the worst states.

So, I guess they just, like, are worried.

'Cause, yeah, I feel like I get attached

and then bad things happen.

So, yeah.

MOTHER: That's all I'm worried about, Jade.

That's my whole concern this whole process,

is, if it doesn't work out and you really like him...

..are you gonna be OK again?

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

When her previous relationship fell apart,

this was the first place she came to, and she stayed here.

She was literally in bed for days and days and days.

It's so hard to see any of your daughters

go through anything like that.

(STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES)

So, that's my biggest concern,

is, like, if Ridge is not planning to...to move.

If he's set on not moving, I feel he should tell you that now.

(STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES)

And I just feel like that's something you need to speak to him

really seriously about.

Mmm.

Not your way, where you're joking and laughing and making it a joke.

It needs to be a serious concern, 'cause it's not just you.

It's Victoria as well. Yeah.

Then it's someone for her to get attached to and then...

And then it all falls apart again.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JASMINE: Like, is he genuinely wanting to settle down, like, now

and have a...a stepdaughter, and like...?

A family. I mean, yeah, he effectively walks into a family.

Yeah.

And does he realise that it's pretty challenging?

And Victoria's like Jade as well. Like, she just loves hard.

Once she, like, loves you, she loves you, like...

Mmm.

I'm just so scared for you.

Yeah. See? I'm not the only one worried about that.

That's the problem.

Because I can see, like, you like him a lot.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

I feel like I can definitely feel myself, like, falling for Ridge.

So, it's a bit scary.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

NARRATOR: On the Gold Coast,

Jack is taking Tori out to lunch

to meet with some of his closest clients.

She's pretty outspoken, little Lizz. Yeah.

Yeah. Should be good.

So, if you've got anything you want to get off your chest,

hit her up right now.

I feel like she might have questions for me.

Oh, she definitely will, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, so, we've just come down

to meet up with my friends Jasmine and Lizz.

They were both at the wedding and they had a lot to say about Tori.

Lizz, she's definitely a straight shooter.

She's gonna come firing with some questions.

You know, she's gonna want to know

Tori's good enough for her mate, Jack.

Hello!

Oh, my gosh! How are you?

Hello! Hello!

Oh, you look amazing.

I want Tori to have the spotlight for once.

Throughout the experiment,

I've definitely had a lot of questions thrown my way.

You were so reserved with me that I was like...

.."This guy's hiding something."

The muzzle comment - mate, we need to unpack it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

JACK: I kind of want the heat to go to my wife today.

See how she handles the pressure

when the questions are kind of getting directed towards her

while I sit back and have a drink.

Thank you so much for coming. (LAUGHS)

This is great. LIZZ: Thank you for having us.

Genuinely looking forward to this. Mm-hm.

I know. Me too.

Purely based on just my impression at the wedding,

I just don't think that she's the right girl for him.

Definitely here to see if she's the real deal,

because I don't want him to settle,

and I don't think he should have to settle

for anything less than his fairytale ending.

Are you having fun? Tell me everything.

So, you saw us at the wedding.

We got along like a house on fire. Had a great day.

Super attracted to Tori. Yeah.

I think she was kind of into me.

(LAUGHTER)

WOMAN: You're so cocky.

(LAUGHTER)

You've grown on me. (LAUGHTER)

She's content with me now. You've grown on her.

Yeah, obviously I've had feelings for Tori for quite some time,

but, like, they're intensifying as the experiment goes on.

So, we...you know, we didn't have, like, a sexual spark

from the word get-go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

We haven't had sex, right? Let's get that out there.

Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Yeah, we're just, like, building intimacy

without, like, erotica, I suppose.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

We're both on the same page as far as, like, having a solid foundation

and making sure we actually know each other.

Can I...but that being said, like, physical intimacy is...

Huge!

..like, a big part of a relationship.

Like, I...

As someone who is happily married, I know it takes work,

and that's a big test on how compatible you are.

So, I feel like the fact you guys haven't had sex

is...a concern for me.

I wasn't expecting that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

You don't buy a pair of shoes without trying them on first.

Like, come on.

It's not the 1950s.

We're not religious.

We're not saving ourselves for marriage.

Like, they're married, as well, so they should be having sex.

It just...It seems like a red flag for me.

Yeah, I...

Just doesn't bode well for me.

So, with Jack having a lot of girl friends,

has that ever been an issue for you?

Never. Yeah.

Doesn't bother me.

I have a lot of male friends.

Yeah, OK.

I've always kind of been, like, one of the boys.

That seems concerning.

I'm concerned by that.

I don't want to, like, stereotype

but I feel like, when I come across a girl that only has guy friends,

and they're like, "I'm one of the boys,"

it's usually because they're sleeping with all the boys.

And they're just not...

They're not...

I haven't slept with my friendship group, per so, no.

You might be the exception.

I would say I'm the exception for that.

Jack has a lot of female friends and I don't think she's gonna fit

into his friend group if she just wants to hang out with the boys.

That's just another level of concern for me.

I'm not a fan.

Jack wants that fairy-tale, he wants that soulmate,

he wants that wife and I just don't think Tori is it for him.

I don't see it translating into the real world.

I don't see it going long term and I hope that Jack can see that.

Don't you think that you guys are equally matched?

Yeah.

Yeah, I was...

I had concerns wedding day

'cause Tori come down and she's quite outspoken.

I listened to her vows, you heard my vows

and you gotta say a lot about yourself in the vows, and, yeah,

yours were quite strong and I got a fair opinion of who you were.

They were, like, to the point.

Yeah.

I am surprised, though, 'cause I just...

My immediate opinion of the wedding was not amazed,

I didn't think you guys would be super compatible.

(TENSE MUSIC)

My vows were quite...

They were very dominant.

That is me.

It was like, OK, she's gonna be

wearing the pants, calling the shots and kind of...

It's fine to be dominant but it, borderline, was, like, very bossy.

That is me.

The first impression was, like, OK, this might work out

but, based on the vows,

she's not someone that I would be friends with.

I feel like anyone that makes their coffee order their personality

is not my kind of person.

(DASTARDLY MUSIC)

You're in Melbourne, right? Yeah.

It's like a big Melbourne thing, right?

It's a huge thing. That's the stereotype, right?

Like, coffee wankers, like...

I got the impression you were basic. Yeah.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

The first impression was, like, OK, this might work out

but, based on the vows,

she's not someone that I would be friends with.

I feel like anyone that makes their coffee order their personality

is not my kind of person.

You're in Melbourne, right? Yeah.

It's like a big Melbourne thing, right?

It's a huge thing. That's the stereotype, right?

Like, coffee wankers.

I got the impression you were basic. Yeah.

So many things were said where I was just like, "Who are you?"

I don't know what Liz was trying to achieve.

Her line of questioning was so negative

and trying to find an issue or a concern.

All it did was piss me off.

There is absolutely more to me than what my vows were, but my...

It still came up, like, multiple times. I just...

I just thought, instead of repeating a few of those things,

maybe you could throw in some other facts.

I wasn't sure I was gonna actually like my groom

so I didn't want to give too much, to be honest.

Were you worried about

maybe putting him off by being so strong off the bat?

No 'cause it's absolutely who I am.

I am a very dominant boss bitch, if you will.

I didn't feel the need to hide who I am

coming into this, and I think it's worked in our favour.

I like girly girls and I like femininity, 100%,

but, like, look at these nails.

(LAUGHTER)

I still worry that you're in a little bit of a bubble

and then, once reality hits...

Might be a bit different?

Things might change, yeah, for sure.

Just want to make sure that you guys

aren't trying to make it work for the sake of making it work.

Like, you've been single for a while.

You know, Jack's got a six-pack. Like, I don't know.

Maybe you're trying to make it work for the wrong reasons.

I feel like I don't really put my energy into things

that I don't want to put my energy,

so I wouldn't be making this work to save face.

I gave up a lot to be here, so, if it wasn't working,

I would leave you, respectfully, and resume life on the outside.

I feel like today was an opportunity

to see Jack's world and how he lives.

But, instead, I'm having doubt.

Liz thinks I'm, like, holding onto Jack

because he's got a six-pack and he's a nice guy,

and I don't want to upset him but I don't want him to run.

Um, no.

You have no right to say,

"You're one of the boys because you've slept with all of them,"

and I was like...

That's just (BLEEP) rich, babe.

That aside, to be honest,

the only thing that really upset me was that Jack wasn't backing me up.

Mm.

Maybe we could all be friends at the end of this.

This little mini dinner party set-up we've got going on,

it's like a little mini dinner party.

Oy, vey.

I love Melbourne and I love my life in Melbourne,

and I would never be treated like this back home.

Jack's shown me just a really shitty, ugly part of his life.

So, um, I definitely have a lot to think about right now.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

In Sydney...

SARA: Boat day!

Sara has organised a day out for Tim.

OK!

Should I shake it?

But this homestay has shown Tim

that he is still struggling to let go of Sara's betrayal.

Whoo!

I do have just the same concern

about whether we can build back that trust.

It's coming closer to the end of the experiment.

We kind of need to make a final decision

on whether or not we do continue on,

and I feel like I need to get it out right now

what I need from Sara, it's just to see her take some accountability.

(GENTLY LILTING MUSIC)

Do you feel any pressure that we're coming to the end?

About what?

It's just, like, pressure to decide on, like, where we're gonna end up.

I don't want to, like, go around in circles about it

but there's something in me

that still feels like there's issues that I need resolved.

OK.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

I feel like I've apologised a lot.

I don't ever bring it up.

Well, you've brought it up a few times.

Do you really feel like I've brought it up a lot?

A fair...a fair amount.

Like, I'm not saying it's bad,

I'm just saying, every time, I have been, like, "I am sorry."

Yeah.

I feel like the continuous, like, rehashing of it, it's not...

It's not...

What is that going to do?

It's not gonna help us.

Like...

At what point do we just say,

"OK, well, we're moving on," which is what I thought we were doing.

It's hard for me.

Right now, it feels like I'm not allowed to voice it.

I don't feel like... That's not what I'm saying, Tim.

So, what's the problem here?

You keep bringing it up and I'm like, "How many times...?"

I don't keep bringing it up. Why is this such a thing?

I just want to have you be there and support me through it.

You need to understand that it (BLEEP) hurt me,

and it's damaging to us,

it's damaged us and it's damaging our trust.

I need you to empathise with me

and not defend your position and, like, you know, show clear remorse.

Just reassure me about it.

Don't say that we're rehashing it.

It seems weird that she's getting defensive on her side

when she's the one who's lied to me,

she's the one who's emotionally cheated on me.

She's the one in the wrong but she's starting to defend herself,

as opposed to accept what I'm trying to share to her,

and sometimes you just need to be like,

"Look, yeah, I'm sorry. You're right. I (BLEEP) up."

I'm telling you it's a concern of mine

and you're telling me not to bring it up anymore.

That's what I'm feeling.

I'm saying we've talked about it,

and this is our last date and I just wanted to enjoy it,

and now we're having the same conversation

that we've had over and over again.

Stop saying that.

We haven't had it over and over again.

We have, Tim. When? Honestly, we haven't, Sara.

(LOUD CRUNCH)

I feel like you are kind of throwing me under the bus here a little bit.

Throwing you under the bus?

Because we have spoken about not bringing this up anymore.

(TENSE MUSIC)

It's not helping us.

I'm just giving you an honest thing that I'm genuinely concerned about.

And I know that.

Do you think I don't know it?

Do you think I have zero clue that that's a concern of yours?

Like, we have never spoken about it before?

I am well aware of what's happened.

I'm very well aware of what's happened.

(TIM SIGHS)

I don't see how we're gonna move forward if we can't just move on.

I've been trying really, really hard

and I feel like we've moved past that

and gotten to a good place, so I'm like, why do you want me to keep...?

It's like he wants me to keep, like, begging, like, pleading, like, so...

I'm like, I've been showing you how much you can trust me.

I feel like we've been so good.

Like, we've been so good, Tim.

I don't know how much more I can say I'm sorry

for you to, like, realise how sorry I am.

(SARA SOBS)

(EMOTIVE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

We've talked about this, Tim.

(SARA SNIFFLES)

We've spoken about this so many times.

I've been trying so (BLEEP) hard, Tim.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(UNEASY MUSIC)

(SARA SOBS)

We've talked about this, Tim.

(SNIFFLES)

We've spoken about this so many times.

I've been trying so (BLEEP) hard, Tim.

Come on.

This isn't how I expected it to go,

and I have said we want to move past it, and I do want to move past it.

I don't want her to be upset.

Are you alright?

Yeah? Yeah, are you?

Yeah, I just want to...

I just want to be able to voice my concerns.

OK.

Yeah. I hear you.

I know it's a concern, and I...

I still am doing everything that I can.

I know that that will never happen again.

I am sorry.

I'm showing you every day that I want to be here.

And you don't have to forgive me straight away.

That's not... I've never asked you to, you know?

I want you to, of course, but at your own pace.

I know you've been trying.

But...

We have had a great couple of weeks

and I've noticed the energy shift, for sure.

You have been trying.

I guess, when I approach situations,

I know I can be so reactive to things and I've been trying

really, really hard to take a step back and let him voice his opinions.

I want him to know that I am here for the right reasons,

I'm here for him, I'm here to fight for this relationship.

I am sorry and I know that those are your concerns,

and I want to keep showing you that you can trust me.

Please know that, like, now, in your heart, I know those things.

(EMOTIVE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

I want to move on, I do.

OK.

Then let's move on.

All I wanted was a bit of reassurance about the situation

and how I was feeling, and I did feel like we had a breakthrough.

It was nice for her to acknowledge that it does mean something to me.

I felt, like, completely heard and understood for the first time.

I think Sara sees my side.

She's trying.

I can see that, you know,

she's making the effort and she wants to make things right,

so, hopefully, we can continue to build that trust back up.

(GENTLY LILTING MUSIC)

On the Gold Coast, Ridge has organised

a private night away in a holiday rental to prove his commitment...

Hey, gorgeous. How you doing?

..and display his maturity.

Welcome to my crib.

Babe, you're not wearing that.

What do you mean? I'm gonna cook you food.

Do you like the get-up?

It's good, aye?

But, first things first, let me get you a drink.

(RIDGE MUTTERS)

I really wanted to do something really special with Jade tonight.

So I'm actually, like, adoring this girl,

she's definitely scary the potential she has,

and could have for my life, so...

So, cheers, darling. I'm making you beef ravioli.

(HIGH-PITCHED LAUGHTER)

I don't know why you're laughing.

I do not want any input from you.

I just want you to sit there and look at me.

I'd appreciate it if you weren't laughing at me.

You should Google how to make this.

Maybe.

I've got some cheesy garlic bread thrown in the old oven.

Oh, my gosh.

(PLAYFUL MUSIC)

Yeah, this looks deece.

My gorgeous wife, food is almost ready.

How about you go sit on the table and I'll come bring it to you?

Sounds good. Sound good?

We are so close to the end,

so I feel like tonight is really the only opportunity

that we're gonna have to really sit down and talk about everything

before final vows.

It is a big thing in trying to make it work outside of here,

because I have someone else to consider, as well.

Like, I don't really want to, like, bring V into it

and for her to get let down again.

Thank you, babe. All good, my love.

Is this the longest time you've ever spent with a partner?

Oh, easily, easily it is.

No doubt about it.

Do you feel like you would be nervous living with a partner?

Nn-nn, no.

Why would I be?

I don't know, 'cause you've not really done it.

I have with you.

It wasn't real life, though.

Yeah, I know, I understand that, but...

..that's why I'll get to see what real life is with you outside...

..before I make the call of moving,

I reckon, by six months long distance.

But there's no rush, babe. We're not in a rush, are we?

I feel like Ridge will go back home, live normal life...

..and just kinda continue.

(POIGNANT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

I feel like he's not ready

to kinda, like, grow up and properly commit and start a proper future.

So, yeah.

But, yeah, it's also different

to see what we're gonna be like outside of this experiment.

I've got no doubts but I know you're getting doubt a lot.

Why are you crying?

I don't know, I feel like I would get, like...

..probably more insecure, which I know, like, is stupid, as well,

but, like, you need to want to move here.

I want you to want to be here.

(MUSIC SOFTENS)

I understand why she's concerned the way she is,

but, um, I'm more mature and ready

despite what other people think about me.

I'm a psych nurse.

I look after people for a living.

I've seen people come into my work depressed,

and I don't want to be a part of the reason that someone is upset.

When you're a psych nurse, you have to mature quick.

It's a very unique career, it's not for everyone,

but it's really helped me in terms of my relationships.

It's obviously a bit nerve-racking

knowing that I'll have to give up a lot in terms of my life

to make this relationship work,

but this relationship's definitely something I want to fight for.

Do you think what we have is good, strong,

is worth fighting for, genuinely?

Well, yeah. Same.

I just feel like I'm being a little more realistic than you are.

How are you being more realistic than me?

Well, 'cause I feel like

you just think everything is sunshine and rainbows,

but it's not that easy.

Or I just look at it with the mindset of,

"This girl could be it for me,"

and I'm gonna do everything I can to try and make it work.

That's me fighting for you, that's not me being sunshine and rainbows.

Obviously, I care about her.

Like, I really do care about this girl,

and I do want to make it work or at least try.

I think the reason why Jade's more doubtful than me

is 'cause just what she's been through in the past.

She's been let down a lot more times than I have, so I think

that just plays a big part of the reason why she is the way she is.

I know we've got a couple of hurdles we have to get across together.

Mm-hm.

But I'd feel like a dickhead if I left this experiment

and didn't give every part of me into it to try and make it work

'cause you are special to me, Jade, you really are,

and I've adored the time I've spent with you.

I thank you for some of the best memories of my life.

Whether we do distance, whether we're living together,

you'll get the same Ridge that you always got, the same intensity...

..without the D word.

(LAUGHS)

Sorry, I had to lighten the mood, man.

I was, like, deep in the feels right then.

Coming up...

I'd want you to want me with you.

You sound, like, hell-bent on it.

You look hell-bent on it.

Tori is finally pushed to breaking point.

So, your schedule doesn't change for your partner?

I just...

..fit in where you're free?

You can't have it all.

Are you taking the (BLEEP) piss right now?

(CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC)

On the Gold Coast...

..Jack has arranged a fine dining experience for wife Tori

to celebrate the end of homestays.

But, following an eye-opening and frustrating week,

Tori wants reassurance.

I would say this homestay has been really difficult.

His friends weren't accepting of me,

and I'm questioning if I even fit into Jack's life.

It scares me a lot

because I'm absolutely in a really exposed position right now.

I am putting all of me into this,

but I'm just kind of trusting

that it doesn't go belly-up

and, tonight, I need Jack to give me a lot more reassurance

that, like, having a relationship is going to work.

We're at the end.

We are at the end of the experiment. Right.

You are...I want all your inner thoughts.

How have you found homestays?

Obviously, like, I'm in your world.

Like, how does it feel? Like, do I fit?

I think you've done well.

I've enjoyed it.

Anything you didn't like, even just about our homestays?

Liz.

Yeah, obvious one.

It just clicked to me, like, living here in the beginning,

all I'm gonna have is you.

That's truthfully something that I think about.

At that point, when Liz was talking, it was just, like,

a bit of a moment for me where I was like, I'm gonna be alone.

Like, if I move here, I'm gonna need to lean on your circle for some time

while I create my own network.

Of course.

Liz was there representing you and she did a real shit job.

I just think, like, what would my lifestyle look like here

when you're at work?

And I don't want it to feel like that

'cause I'm not gonna have anyone here.

And I can't lean on you for everything.

Yeah. We'd find out a nice compromise.

Obviously, you'd come up here and set up shop, give that a go.

Um...

Yeah, that's the challenging part.

Right now, I need more, like, certainty.

I need more, like, concrete, like...

I'm a planner. Like, I need...

I need a plan and I feel like, at the minute, it's not a plan.

I think Jack wants me to sacrifice everything.

How long do you think's a good amount of time to do long distance?

Um...

Like, what are you comfortable with?

So, post the experiment, I want my wife living with me.

Um...

Yes, but do you think about...

..how we'd navigate long distance,

like, what the schedules would look like,

or would you just give up every weekend?

Um...

I haven't thought about it too much.

I would honestly be pretty... pretty easy with it.

Yeah.

I don't mind, like, space.

Do you want it every weekend?

In my mind, it would be, like...

..like, a weekend thing, for sure. Every weekend?

I would say most weekends, yeah,

like, one weekend I'm here and one weekend you're in Melbourne.

Um...

I have a way more relaxed attitude about it.

I'm honestly, like, like, yeah, I'll come this weekend,

you can come next weekend if you like, I'll be fine with it.

Yeah.

Um...

If you were struggling and needed...you know, needed it

to be every single weekend, I guess we could try and sort something out.

Yeah.

Jack wants me to move to the Gold Coast,

but he's not giving up anything.

He's just giving me, like, a half-arsed approach.

It pisses me off.

But I want you to be it.

Like, absolutely, I want you to be it.

But, like, I would want you

to get a bit, like, I guess, homesick in a sense of me.

Like, I'd want you to want me with you.

Yeah.

You sound, like, hell-bent on it.

You look hell-bent on it.

Yeah.

Well, you'll just have to miss me a little bit more.

It's like, that's not practical.

Like...

(CLEARS THROAT)

Catch a plane every Friday to have Friday night, Saturday night,

come back Sunday, ready for work Monday every single weekend,

I think that's too much.

You'll see me every weekend. Yeah.

You'll have to move, move in, might speed up that process.

Is that your strategy, be like, "You're on a once a fortnight..."

Wow.

"..cycle until you get your shit together and move?"

Till you move.

Who knows? We'll have to see.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are you giving me an ultimatum?

No, I'm not giving you an ultimatum. Come on, tell me how it is.

I'm just thinking, like... Give me an ultimatum?

I'm not giving you an ultimatum, you're a grown man.

So, what if it was every two weeks?

I don't know how I would go with that.

Yeah, that's what I'm telling you, how would you go with it?

I don't...

I don't think I'd like it very much.

Why not?

'Cause I feel like, when you like someone,

and you're into them, seeing them once a fortnight...

It's called long distance for a reason, it's gonna be challenging.

You don't live in (BLEEP) Spain.

It's not practical to get on a plane every single Friday.

I work Monday to Saturday.

Where the hell is this coming from?

It's not a 30-hour round trip.

You can be with me in two hours at most.

I can't have someone who's half in, half out.

OK, so, your schedule doesn't change for your partner?

I just...

..fit in where you're free?

Is that what you're saying?

No, you run your own schedule, you do your thing.

Um...

I would never say you need to come and see me every single weekend.

I'm not saying you need to, I'm saying it would be nice,

I would like to have you around.

Of course it would.

(TENSE MUSIC)

You can't have it all.

I feel like you're Liz right now with these questions.

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

Are you taking the (BLEEP) piss right now?

(MUSIC FADES)

Right now, I'm questioning my relationship, like...

If Jack's not serious about us, then I need to know.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

OK, so, your schedule doesn't change for your partner?

I just...

..fit in where you're free?

Is that what you're saying?

No, you run your own schedule, you do your thing.

I would never say you need to come and see me every single weekend.

I'm not saying you need to, I'm saying it would be nice,

I would like to have you around.

You can't have it all.

I feel like you're Liz right now with these questions.

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

Are you taking the (BLEEP) piss right now?

Seriously.

Yeah, Tori, like, come in loaded, I felt.

She...

She threw me.

I had to, kind of, adjust myself, um...

..but I can fix it.

I've got a little strategy.

When you think, like, long term,

is there a future for us moving forward?

I only met you ten weeks ago, 11 weeks ago?

Mm.

Um...

It's undeniable, like, my emotional connection to you.

And it's real.

If I didn't have deep feelings for you,

like, I wouldn't have stuck around,

so I'm only still here right now

'cause of what's goin' on between us now.

That's interesting because...

If you get up, you get on a plane, you pack your bags

and you move to the Goldy and move in with me,

I'm hoping that's forever.

I've got tunnel vision and it's you in the future, 100%.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Final vows are coming up and trying to seal the deal with Tori,

get her over the line and, you know, you gotta please the woman.

Thanks.

Wowee.

Did you organise this?

Thank you so much.

(JACK LAUGHS)

I have something else for you, as well,

just a little bit of somethin'-somethin'.

What do you think?

Oh, my God, it is so sweet.

So, there's two diamonds on it

and then, obviously, a T initial for Tori.

I love it.

Cute? Cute.

I think we've earnt our position and our...

I was gonna say our love for each other,

I think we've earnt it, I think we deserve it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yeah, I'll cheers you to that.

Cheers.

I'm trying to keep the romance alive.

She come at me heated tonight.

I was like, damn, I've gotta spin this back around.

But there's something she's missing

and it's something I haven't given her.

Did I mention how hot you look?

No. Tell me again.

You're giving me, like, 'Mr and Mrs Smith' vibe right now,

and I'm OK with it.

(JACK EXHALES, TORI CLEARS HER THROAT)

Legit.

Stop it. You're just, like...

I think it's fitting that I can see my bedroom.

No... (CHUCKLES)

We'll keep it goin'. I'll take you home.

Thanks, lucky me.

I've got all I want, I've got Tori,

and, yeah, I can take her home right now.

I got plans tonight.

I want to go home and keep the party alive, so we'll see.

The energy that is surrounding myself and Jack right now

is probably, like, as heightened as I've felt it in the experiment.

Why don't I take you home, babe? OK.

Ready? Let's go.

Good job.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Mm, I think Jack...

I think Jack likes me.

I love what you did there.

VOICEOVER: It's all been building...

Did you consummate the marriage?

He's got this exit strategy.

..to this.

He's gonna run into Gold Coast sunset...

Yeah, like, 'I'm outta here.'

Love...

I wish you would just say, 'You're a dickhead.'

(LAUGHTER)

..will change course...

I get really scared, 'cause I feel like I might lose you.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

..right...

Where are you guys going?

..before your eyes. (GASP)

Eden and Jayden have left.

You cannot miss...

Have you made up the sleeping thing to take the heat off?

Did you kiss your (BLEEP) wife to take the heat off?

..the dinner party...

I could absolutely fall in love with Jack.

..where friendship... (LAUGHTER)

..fractures.

Open your eyes!

I do not feel anything toward...

Don't tell me how I feel!

(GASP)
