VOICEOVER: Previously... I'm still having trouble

trying to raise the money to buy Terese out.

You know, I should give Des a call,

see if his bank can help me out.

Is Danielle still interested in you?

I've kept her at bay.

It really is the most wonderful news.

When Toadie first proposed, Mel said no.

I see.

ANDREW: You wearing a wire

is the most effective way to catch this corrupt guard.

Hey! Guard! Help! (BANGS ON DOOR)

If you don't give me your phone and do exactly as I say,

David won't survive the day!

You heard your mate.

Fix him. Who was that with David?

A friend waiting for instructions.

My guy dies, so does yours!

Well, Nicolette's a doctor.

Don't do anything stupid.

Yes, we had IT check it out, and they said it was functioning fine.

I'm just asking if someone can check on Tanaka.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

There is no way we can save him.

I know, but just say with me until I figure something out.

Just shut up and get to work! (MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Why is that cop calling?

Uh, he...uh, he'll just be following up about my case.

It's a coincidence. You better hope that's true.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Emma...

..we've done everything we can.

Maybe I haven't been clear enough.

Here's what I tell them to do if you don't save Austin's life!

Still no word back yet.

I wonder if that's a good or a bad thing, huh?

Wait, what do you mean you don't know where he is?

He's an inmate in your prison!

I don't care about the evacuation.

He's in danger, find him.

No, she's not lying, he's going to bleed out.

He needs major surgery.

(PANTS)

You can come and look for yourself if you don't believe me.

(GASPS)

(SCREAMS)

(GUNSHOT) (GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(CHOKES)

(GRUNTS)

She sent the text.

(MOBILE PHONE CHIMES)

No, please, please.

On the ground now!

Get him! (SCREAMS)

On the ground now! Drop it!

Drop it, drop it. On the ground!

Get on the ground! Stay down on the ground!

(SIGHS)

Huh.

LEVI: Hey, did you hear a bang?

A couple. What, a car backfiring?

Hopefully. Hey, stay indoors just in case, yeah?

(SIGHS)

Did the ambulance say how long they'd be?

They're on their way.

He's looking really pale. I know.

(DOOR OPENS)

Hey, what's going on?

Freya, give me the gun. Put the gun down.

Mm-mm. Put the gun down.

No, it's David. He might be dead. Put the gun down.

Mm. It's OK. Give me the gun.

(SIGHS)

Hey, Jane, I'm going back to The Waterhole.

Oh. Sorry.

I...I just said I'm going back out.

Are you alright with Isla?

Yes. Yes, of course. You have a night to yourself.

Are you OK?

I thought listening to a podcast might help but, uh,

there really isn't anything to guide you

when your partner has betrayed you and your...

..your son turns out to be a...

Can't even say the word. (LAUGHS) Mm.

Byron, what a surprise packet, hey?

I thought I knew him, and I thought I knew Clive.

Jane, Clive wouldn't have actually done anything with that woman.

Either way, he was tempted, which...which feels just as bad.

Thank you for trying to make me feel better,

but I think I'm just...

..I'm just going to need a bit of time with this.

Yeah. Don't forget we're all here for you, OK?

(CHEERING)

Hey, I was just coming to meet you.

Oh, we're turning in for the night, we're exhausted.

Alright. Aw.

What's happened?

Ah, it's Des, his bank won't give me a loan.

Ah, sorry, Dad, but at least Terese isn't pushing for

the settlement, right?

Sounds like someone's having a good night.

Yeah, I just...I don't want to take advantage of her sympathy

at the moment.

Well, it sounds like it's coming from a good place though!

Oh, what is going on here?! (HUBBUB)

Oh, they're just having some fun.

Yeah, but it's not a schoolies week, for goodness' sake.

(POP!) Ow!

Shane Ramsay.

Paul Robinson. (LAUGHS)

SHANE: Right on the bum, priceless.

Ah, don't you worry, I'm already plotting my revenge.

Huh, come on, it was funny.

Don't worry, I will forgive you

but only because it was such a brilliant surprise.

Cheers. Where do we need this? Yeah, out there. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, an original Ramsay back on home turf

after...God, how many years?

Uh...34, give or take.

Ooh. (CHUCKLES)

Ah, hey, son, grab yourself a Scotch there.

Oh, by the way, did you know that Harold's in town?

Yeah, Charlene told me.

I gotta say...Ramsay Street's been in my mind a lot lately.

So you're a relative of Roxy's? Second cousin.

Yeah. Ratbag gene runs deep, don't you worry.

Mm. You can talk.

Oh, I can see the famous rivalry is still alive and well.

This one here? He used to be the original Romeo of Ramsay Street.

Well, still is, from what we saw downstairs.

Well, just for the record, I was hanging around waiting for you,

your receptionist said that you would be right back.

Oh, my bags.

No, don't worry about it, I'll get 'em sent up.

And, by the way, you are staying here with me. No argument, OK?

(SIGHS) (MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

It's Georgia. Hello?

Ah, it's David's lawyer.

Oh, sorry, David's my other son. He's in jail at the moment.

That's amazing. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Here, I'll tell him.

It's a long story.

David's getting out.

What? When?

Georgia said he's got an emergency hearing in the morning

and he won't be going back inside.

Oh. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)

Oh!

This is brilliant. This is good news.

Oh, wow.

So, three weeks to organise a wedding.

Do you really have to rush it?

Callum's already booked his flight so there's no turning back now.

You know, why wait when you're in love?

Well, that's what we think too.

So, um, any news on the baby front?

(SIGHS) Uh, yeah, I'm deep in the research phase.

OK, let us know if you need any help.

I will. More importantly, what can I do for you?

Well, tomorrow's agenda is to work up to a to-do list.

Hm. OK, well, I am at your service.

Thank you.

I was thinking maybe we should ask Harold if he wants to help too.

Absolutely, yeah, I'm sure he would love to be involved.

Alright, kiddy-winkles, it is time for bed.

Come on, let's go, off to bed. Go, go, go.

Can you read me a bedtime story? Sure can.

(CHUCKLES)

Don't say anything. I didn't.

(SIGHS) I am on board with this wedding.

Whatever you say.

I don't think Harold's as keen as they think.

Police? Ambulances?

Yeah, I know, I couldn't believe it.

I was just happy that the girls were alright.

Well, hopefully everyone will feel a whole lot better

once David comes home today.

Mm. And hopefully this will open up a brighter chapter

for you all, eh?

Yeah.

Oh. Here. I'm sorry.

Here, here. Thank you.

Oh, come on. (CHUCKLES SADLY)

I'm such a...such a sook.

Oh, Jane, you sure nothing else is upsetting you?

Let's just say that yesterday was a very trying day all round.

(SIGHS) Oh, dear.

Shane?

Oh. SHANE: Hello, you two.

Oh. Oh, my goodness.

(LAUGHS AND SNIFFLES)

Uh, well I hope I'm a good surprise.

Oh, of course you are. Hello.

Oh, it feels like deja vu.

I mean, last week it was Harold walking through that door.

You didn't tell me you were coming down.

Well, I only decided yesterday.

Do you two see each other?

Well, our paths do cross now and again up in Brisbane.

Scott and Charlene's barbecues bring us all together.

So, what happened yesterday to make you decide to come down?

Well, you know, me, Bish,

got a bit of spare time on my hands at the moment.

(CHUCKLES)

Between jobs, are you? Everything's alright?

Everything's sweet.

Well, this place certainly looks a little bit different

than when Daphne used to run it.

Hope the coffee's still as good.

Oh, it certainly is.

I hear you're going out with my old mate Clive.

Mm. That's right.

You got time for a catch-up?

Ah, no, no, I have to see Susan and Karl.

They own Des Clarke's old place.

Yes. Uh...

What about you? Have you got time for an old friend?

Of course.

So, a sting is the reason he's out?

(SIGHS) Even though it didn't run to plan...

..the fact that he helped was enough.

And just exactly whose idea was it to risk my own son, hey?

I mean, I'm glad that he's free and he's safe, obviously,

but yesterday afternoon we were told that we couldn't do anything.

So, what, this was already in the works?

We had to keep it confidential.

We couldn't risk David getting in even more danger.

So it's official. David's sentence is non-custodial?

Five years, suspended.

But he still can't ever practise medicine again.

Well, besides that, we're so grateful. Thank you.

Hey. (DAVID LAUGHS)

I want to hold you, but I don't want to hurt you, I just... (LAUGHS)

I just want to be with my family. (LAUGHS)

So, Susan is locked in to officiate,

and Madam Zolga's coming.

She has already foreseen the whole event

and said we are going to need her there.

Ah, well, if she's foreseen it.

Um, can you help me look at some reception centres?

The ceremony's going to be at the lake,

but the Lassiters ballroom is booked.

Mum can't help, she's already swamped with making the outfits.

Zara, I'm fine, I'm perfectly capable, thank you.

(MOBILE PHONE CHIMES)

It's official, we have got enough takers for a party.

A party? An engagement party.

I put out the feelers last night to check everyone's plans for today.

TODAY today?

What? No, no, we can't throw a party at such short notice.

Uh, we can and we will.

Just think of it as my contribution to your love ceremony.

OK. Well, uh, I guess we're having an engagement party.

Alright! Um, did you invite anyone from Colac?

Uh, not yet. Well, I'd better do that.

Are you up for that? I'm as game as I'll ever be.

Alright, OK.

Hey, did you hear anything from Harold?

Uh, no, actually, I didn't.

I texted him twice to invite him over for breakfast,

and, yesterday, I invited him for lunch and he didn't turn up.

Have you noticed anything weird about him?

I've been getting a vibe.

You did?

I think he might not be into this wedding, sorry.

Well, that's settled.

I am going to have to get to the bottom of this.

Oh, I haven't thought about that for years.

Deliberately? Blocked it out, maybe.

Possibly. (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES)

Getting stranded in the bush

isn't something that I'd care to repeat.

But it...it is funny now.

I wasn't laughing when I was thumped by Mike.

No, I can't quite believe that he thought we'd got together.

Mm.

Although, I think you did kiss me not long after that.

Well, I hope Clive's not the jealous type as well.

Why don't we have dinner with him tonight and find out? Paul too.

You know, I think I might be staying close to home

after what everyone's been through today.

Hey, Jane, how are you after last night?

Still a little shaken, but I'm fine.

I'm sorry to interrupt. No, it's all good. Shane Ramsay.

Oh, Shane? Hi, I'm Terese Willis, Roxy's aunt.

Paul's ex-wife? Yes.

Sorry to hear about your break-up.

Oh, it's been a year.

You must be Glen. Yeah, nice to meet you.

Likewise. I can see the family resemblance.

Anyway, we'll leave you to it. Yeah, bye.

Has Paul been gossiping about us? (SIGHS) Somebody has.

Are you avoiding me?

I know it's been a long time since we've seen each other

but I really thought you'd want to be involved in the wedding plans.

Oh, I don't think I'd be of any use to you.

Well, I was hoping that you might be able to raise a toast

at the reception.

(LAUGHS) I'm no good at public speaking.

Really? Well, maybe you could do some ushering,

you just have to greet and seat.

My legs, they're...they're not what they used to be, you know?

Alright, what's going on?

Is it to do with the wedding? Are you not happy about it?

I have my reservations.

Why?

I...I'm worried about the children.

Nell and Hugo?

You hurt my grandchildren deeply when you left Joe,

and I don't want history... repeating itself.

Uh, thanks. Can you just put it on my account?

He looks shattered.

I might just... No, no, you don't...

I'll be quick.

Paul... (GASPS)

I'm sorry, I don't want to intrude, I just...

..I just wanted to say how glad I am David's home.

Thanks.

I really care about your boys, I always will.

Yeah, I know that.

OK, well, take care of yourself.

Yep.

Hi. Hey.

Who's this? LEO: It's my daughter Abi.

Oh. How was the family reunion?

Yeah, it was good, it was brief so that David could rest up.

Anyway, you have my full attention now.

Good, 'cause I got a proposition for you.

A proposition?

It's actually the reason for my visit.

I was hoping it might take a little more of the load off your shoulders.

I want to buy into Lassiters.

What, as an investor?

As a full and equal partner.

(SIGHS) You realise that it would take a fair chunk of capital?

We're talking millions.

It's not a problem.

I don't advertise it but I've done pretty well for myself.

Cryptocurrency.

(SCOFFS) Cryptocur...

How on earth does a chippie trade up into cryptocurrency?

You can call it a rags-to-riches story if you want to.

But, anyhow, I want to make a major investment.

You're serious, aren't you?

Well, as I've gotten older, I feel a lot about Erinsborough

and, uh, I want to reconnect with the place,

put some roots back down.

What better way than to partner with a Robinson?

You were all so brave, but I can't thank you enough.

No, can you please just live happily ever after

with your perfect family?

That's all we want.

I think we can manage that, can't we?

I think you've also deserved a nap. Come on.

Hey, I might head off before Mum gets back.

No, now might be a really good chance for reconciliation.

Nah, too soon. I'll see you later?

Say goodbye to Uncle Byron.

Bye. Bye.

Bye. (MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Oh.

Go to Aunty Freya. Hi.

Kiri, hey. How are you?

Uh, yeah. Um...

..I was just thinking about yesterday.

You were incredible.

I guess it was just instinct.

Well, you've got good instincts.

I just wanted to call to thank you for thinking of me.

Well, it's what you do for the people you care about.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE BUZZES)

Oh, I gotta say, it certainly sounds intriguing.

Enough to take me seriously, I hope. (SIGHS)

Jane. Still here?

I thought, you know, Aaron and David might need a...

..a bit of alone time, so...

Fair enough. So we'll catch up, then?

Uh, I just...I've got a phone call that just can't wait.

But let's talk later, OK?

What was all that about?

It's probably not something that you need to hear about

on your first day back in Erinsborough.

You guys aren't friends anymore? Don't you share a grandchild?

Yeah, we...we do.

And we almost didn't, thanks to Paul's machinations.

What are you talking about?

Jane, I've just offered to buy into Lassiters.

Now, before you ask, I can afford it, but...

..if there's a problem with Paul

I need to know about it before I go into business with him.

Oh, can you handle the truth?

Because not everyone appreciates it these days.

I need to know anything relevant about working with him.

Well, the truth is going into business with Paul

is the worst decision you could ever make.
