VOICEOVER: Previously...

I want something more, too.

Oh, it's the history book! What happened?!

This is just a disaster.

Oh, today I was just pitching in for a good cause.

Well hopefully, you won't have to step in again.

It's not like it was a big act of deception.

Yeah, if you say so. I'm just trying to get

my head around why you're so drawn to my son.

I love Mal.

Susan!

I can't trust you.

He wants to move back to Erinsborough.

If you can get Susan to agree,

I'll convince Holly to come, too.

(DOOR OPENS)

Just been to see Izzy.

She and Mal wanna move back here, permanently.

To Erinsborough? Yes.

And she said she would convince Holly to move back too,

conditional on our acceptance. (SCOFFS)

Right.

So she's using Holly as a pawn.

Well, Holly's 19,

and she can move back here of her own volition.

But I get the feeling that Izzy and Mal being here

would...would be the thing to seal the deal for her.

It would be great to have Holly here with us, wouldn't it?

Isabelle is manipulating you!

It's emotional blackmail, can't you see that?

I, I suppose so. You suppose so?!

Does Mal know about this?

He wasn't there.

Right.

So once again, she's running around behind his back.

Butter wouldn't melt when he's there,

but as soon as she's alone with one of us,

out come the grenades!

Right, is this Danielle woman out of your life?

Not completely.

And regardless of our personal history,

she's still a major donor to the hospital.

If she's around, that means she's still

a wildcard for Jane. Yeah, I know.

I need to do something about it.

Are you really that worried about your career?

I mean, this woman hasn't turned on you yet.

No.

And I'm finally realising

my career is just not as important as Jane.

So you're gonna go through with the deal?

Mm-mm, I'm definitely leaning towards it.

What, and Lucy's coming back for that?

Oh yeah, well she has to be here in person.

I mean, allowing a new partner into the franchise

is a pretty big deal.

Well, whatever happens, I hope it goes well for you, Dad.

Yeah, speak of the devil. Shane?

Have you got time for a chat?

I want to go over a few things before Lucy gets here.

Sure, yeah I'll let you know when I'm free.

(PHONE CHIMES) Oh!

Yeah, what's up?

What...oh!

Are you serious, there's not somebody there

that can handle a noise complaint?

(LOUD MUSIC PLAYS, WOMAN LAUGHS)

Excuse me?

It's the manager here,

could you please keep the noise down?

(LOUD MUSIC CONTINUES, WOMAN LAUGHS)

Excuse me! (PANTS)

Izzy?

What the hell are you doing here?

Oh, hello.

Paul.

Paul Robinson. Oh.

Uh... Oh you're back!

This is interesting! Heh, is it?

(LAUGHS) I think it's interesting.

Oh! And fun.

Oh, definitely fun. (LAUGHS)

Yeah. Um, how was your trip to...

BOTH: Echuca! That's what I meant.

(LAUGHS) Um, it was really nice.

We just kind of drank a lot of wine.

And I made up with my parents. Mm-hm.

Oh! Yeah.

Tell 'em, come on. Oh!

Yeah, I've decided to become a paramedic.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

Freya, that's gonna be so good for you!

It's amazing!

Wow, you really packed a lot into your trip.

Yeah. Except there was one thing

that was really weird. Mm?

It was like, the more my parents got to know Levi,

the more they actually liked him.

BOTH: Ohh! That is weird,

because he is so unlikeable.

You guys are really funny, you know that?

Like, hilarious.

After all the horrible things he's done to us.

OK, I know I should have told you.

But it wasn't just about Paul.

I really enjoyed being useful.

I haven't felt that sort of rush since I left the hotel.

Well let's find you a new rush.

A new business you can sink your teeth into.

You're right. It's time.

Can we just please move on?

No, it's fine. Um, this afternoon works for me.

Yeah.

As long as it's low-key.

I mean, all this history just gone, right?

I think this was Gran's entry, too.

I got your message.

Uh guys, would you mind if I spoke to Malcolm privately,

just for a minute?

Yeah, of course. Yeah, sure.

OK, Mal, you need to know what Isabelle's done now.

Mum... No, Malcolm.

She's using Holly to blackmail me and your dad

into agreeing to you two moving back to Erinsborough.

No she isn't. Yes she is, ask your father.

I don't need to ask Dad, 'cause Izzy told me what she said.

It's true, we wanna move back,

and Holly will come with us if we do.

What about Susannah? She'll stay with Catherine.

But I plan to go back regularly, and fly her over here for holidays.

Malcolm,

you have got to realise that what Isabelle presented to your dad

was nothing but emotional blackmail.

No, Mum, it wasn't her intention.

I wanted to tell you myself, but she felt

it was a conversation she should have with Dad.

You're saying that so casually, Malcolm.

You're missing the manipulation.

Mum, I get you're still struggling,

so anything Izzy says, you're gonna read more into it.

(SCOFFS) I am not being paranoid!

And you're carrying a lot of anger,

which is fair enough.

But at some point, you're gonna have to let it go.

(EXHALES SHARPLY) I'm not saying this

to be horrible Mum, I get it.

I love you, but you're gonna have to give her

the benefit of the doubt.

Danielle's leaving, surely that's good news for us.

I don't know that it is.

I mean this,

this woman that you've strung along for weeks,

years, really, is

simply going back to where she came from.

She's going because she knows nothing will ever happen.

I made that clear.

But only because I found out about it.

How long would it have gone on for, otherwise?

Jane! Please, I'm trying.

You admitted that you liked the attention from her,

we can't just glaze over that. I'm not!

I'm asking myself tough questions about why I behaved the way I did.

You need to leave.

This is a private conversation. Yeah, and clearly Mum

doesn't want to have it.

I don't think you take the high moral ground here.

Please! And what does,

what does that mean? Your side hustle can't be

giving her much comfort. Clive!

Please just leave.

We'll talk later.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

But he's right about one thing.

Mum, I...

I, I can't keep debating this, Byron.

You, you are either Harvey J, or you're a lawyer,

with some self-respect, and respect for me.

You can't be both. Well I disagree.

Well, would Toadie?

Fine.

Fine Mum, you want me to choose? I will.

I choose escorting.

Haven't you got all this in a file you could email?

Call me old school.

Should be enough there to get you started.

(SCOFFS)

Exactly how much do you have on Paul?

Oh, we go a fair way back.

Not quite as far as you, though.

And this is everything I should be worried about?

He's got five ex-wives.

Four of which are still alive,

and I believe you dated the one that died, didn't you?

Um, Terry?

Anyway, the statements, they're all in there.

And Lyn Scully is a very fruity read.

And she's happy to be called by phone,

if you want more detail.

And uh, full disclosure?

Uh, Paul was once engaged to my daughter.

Uh, but none of this is subjective research, it is all fact.

Yeah, what about his business dealings?

Details a sweatshop he owned in Brazil.

Kidding.

This one covers the time he burned down the complex.

All the people that have tried to sue Paul Robinson.

Verified evidence he paid a woman 1 million

to hand over a baby.

That one's my personal favourite.

Does that smile mean what I think it means?

Oh, Mum!

Kiri and I are together! Oh, sweetie.

I am very, very, very happy for you.

Aw, Mum!

Oh, is it Clive or Harvey J?

Oh, both.

The more I delve into Clive's betrayal,

the more confused I get.

I'm sorry.

Thanks for understanding, Toadie.

I'll come in later to tidy up a few loose ends,

and clear up my stuff.

(SNIFFLES) I might just go and see if, um,

if Aaron needs a hand with Isla.

I guess Mum and Harvey J aren't friends, yet.

She pretty much told me I have to choose between my jobs,

or I can't be her son.

So I rang Toadie and I quit.

Byron!

You know that's not how she wanted things to go.

Yeah, I know that, Nic.

But it's done.

Oh, hey.

Freya's had a brain wave.

Well, it was both of us, really.

Uh, but we wanna remake the history book.

Oh, how?

Well, we can put it out on Facebook for a call

to anyone who's ever lived on Ramsay Street,

get them to send photos, messages, everything.

That's a great idea, well done!

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Get on it! (LAUGHS)

OK! OK!

Yeah, hey.

Did you talk to Holly? Yes.

Yes, it's like Malcolm said.

Initially, she found the idea of Mal and Izzy hard to take,

but then when she saw them together,

she believed they were genuine.

And she confirmed she'd only come here if Mal and Izzy did.

Malcolm just can't see that Izzy's got some sort of agenda.

Well, Holly did say that Izzy really helped Malcolm in the break-up.

(SCOFFS) Bet she did.

I'm sure she had him flat on his back in no time!

Oh, Susan!

Alright, I'm sorry.

But come on, it's classic Isabelle.

It's like the time she wanted you to father another baby for her.

She manages to spin everything so I always end up bad cop.

No, no, no.

This is not just on you. Well...

I don't want Isabelle Hoyland living in the same town as us

with our son.

Even if that means that Holly has to stay where she is.

(SIGHS)

Hey. Hey.

I just saw Nicolette.

Take it things went well. Yeah, very well.

Hey how was it, being back at River Bend?

Yeah, it was really nice.

Nic and I just focused on each other,

but the place is back on the market.

Really, so soon?

Yeah, the owners bit off more than they could chew,

so they're selling it and heading back to the city.

Oh, I suppose you don't know how much work

you're putting into a place

until you get your hands dirty.

Oh yum, thank you.

Well well, nice to see you two have finally surfaced,

although I hardly recognised you with any clothes on.

Oh!

Just picking up some dessert for later on.

Mm, with extra whipped cream, Paul. You jealous?

You know, Izzy, I don't know what type of fresh hell

you're trying to inflict on Karl and Susan,

but this... (CHUCKLES)

..oh boy, this one really takes the cake.

Whipped cream, or no whipped cream.

Mum and Dad know exactly what's going on.

Mm!

Oh, Karl!

I just had the most interesting conversation

with your future daughter-in-law.

(CHUCKLES) Izzy.

I would have thought you'd be the last person

to stick the knife in, Paul.

Don't you remember how you felt when you found out

about Leo and Terese being together?

Mm, not exactly the same thing.

Yeah no, you're right, I'm sorry, mate.

(SIGHS) Oh Karl, what are they doing?

They want to move back here with Holly.

Permanently. And you're sure this is not

just a Izzy being Izzy thing?

Oh, they seem genuine.

Malcolm certainly seems to think it's real.

It's taken years for Susan and I to move past what I did,

and every time we do, Izzy turns up with a new agenda.

Yeah. What if there is no agenda this time?

You know, even if there is, you and I both know Izzy.

Once she sets her mind to something, that's it.

(BLOWS RASPBERRY) Nothing's gonna stop her.

Is this supposed to be a pep talk?

Oh look, my point is,

maybe you should start focusing on the positives.

You're gonna have Mal and Holly back in your lives!

Now you have to decide whether that's more important

than wasting energy worrying about Izzy, hmm?

Collins.

Robinson.

Drowning your sorrows after another failed lawsuit, is it?

Oh, celebrating, actually.

You know, I've never had a more satisfying meeting with a client

in my whole career.

Yeah. But thanks for asking.

Well, I'm sure they won't be celebrating when they find out

how you operate, huh?

We should buy River Bend.

What?! Well.

Not "we," you.

It's perfect, Terese!

You finally get to set up a business that's yours.

Glen, do you have any idea how much work

I'd have to put into that place?

You've never backed away from hard work!

Plus, you said you were up for a new adventure.

Well, I am, but I mean, come on!

Think about it. A five-star eco resort in a tourist area.

You can set it up how you want, hire Chloe.

(CHUCKLES) And obviously you.

Well, that goes without saying.

And Kiri, if she wants to. Hmm.

It's a great price, and it's gonna go quick.

So...

Are you gonna disown me?

You are my son.

And I will always love you.

I, I really can't get my head around

what it is that you are doing, and...

..can't say that I ever will.

You worked so hard to become a lawyer.

Yeah, and then I found something I enjoy more.

You want me to get rid of him?

No.

No, I can't put this off.

Are you...ready to talk now?

Please sit down.

I know that you are sorry for what you did,

and I appreciate your honesty,

and I also know that you are trying to work on yourself.

I swear I am.

Well, I need you to do that first.

Before I can even consider getting over this.

You need to figure out why you were prepared

to take such risks.

And I think it gets back to your decision

to become involved with Danielle in the first place.

That's fair.

I guess I never really resolved that in my own mind.

Well, I really think that you need to, because

frankly, it speaks of character and integrity,

which is what attracted me to you in the first place.

I'm not, I'm not saying that I'm perfect.

But...

..the trust between us has been broken,

and unless we can get that back,

there really is nothing left for us but...

Are you saying

we're over?

I need you to figure out who you are, and what you want,

and I need to do the same.

And then

if we come together again at some point in the future,

that, that is one thing.

But for now, yes.

We're over.

Anyway, I thought we could play a few hands,

just for old times' sake, make old Blackjack Ramsay proud.

What do you say?

History says you're gonna be in for a world of pain, my friend.

(CHUCKLES) Something tells me

history is gonna be rewritten today, my friend.

Oh, what's the history?

Oh, Jack Ramsay was Shane's great-grandfather,

who knew my great-grandfather, Samuel,

who was unfortunately a bit of a gambler.

Jack was mayor of Erinsborough, and they had a bet

over a blackjack game.

The winner got to name the street where Samuel lived after themselves.

So that's how Ramsay Street got its name, huh?

Exactly, except poor old Samuel didn't have a chance

with a cheater like Jack.

Why don't you get me a drink, loser Robinson?

Mm, we'll see.

Is that Jill Ramsay's kids?

Yeah, yeah.

No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense

that my dad and your mum had an affair.

I know, it is hard to believe.

Bit like when I found out about David and Leo.

That's another story.

Anyway, you know what, today's not about the past,

it's about the future.

And I've done a bit of digging, and I have to say,

your reputation is spotless.

So you know what,

we could probably nut out the details while we play.

Ah.

But I have decided to take you up on your offer.

(INHALES, EXHALES SHARPLY)

SUSAN: Oh, look at that. Do you remember that night?

That was the school dance. That's right, yeah.

Rachel sang, it was just beautiful.

Yes! We're gonna wait until

we get everything together before we tell Harold.

Yeah, that's probably very wise.

And don't worry, we'll make sure

that Billy and Libby are all over it, too.

OK, cool. Yeah, thank you.

Bye. No worries.

Mm.

Hey, um,

I've been thinking about what's important here,

and I think that's keeping Malcolm on side.

Now, would you agree that having Malcolm and Holly here

far outweighs our reservations about Izzy?

She's done it again, hasn't she?

Ah, no. You're gonna give in to her...

No, it's...no, it's not like that.

..the way you always do.

Darling, I'm just trying to look at a difficult situation

in a different way. It's not difficult Karl,

it's impossible!

If I say no, I'm the person who's responsible

for making our family unhappy.

If I say yes, then Isabelle gets her way yet again.

She took my husband!

She's taking my son! When does it stop?

(SIGHS)

No, no.

I am not gonna do this again.

I want Isabelle out of our life.

Obviously, I'll still be the majority shareholder,

but I'll certainly be open to any input that you might have.

(SNIFFS) Hit me.

Maybe you could take over the Waterhole.

(INHALES, EXHALES SHARPLY)

Maybe. Yep.

Are there any ideas you wanna bounce around?

Nope.

But I do have a couple of questions. OK, fire away.

Did a bit of a background check on you, just as you did on me.

(CHUCKLES)

I've got nothing to hide.

Great.

Terese told me what you did to her over the fashion week.

I wanna hear your side of it.

Shane, we were going through

an incredibly messy separation at the time.

Oh come on, you know what divorce is like.

OK.

Is there any truth to the story that you paid someone

a million bucks to give up their baby?

(SIGHS, SCOFFS)

I don't know where you got your information,

but whoever told you, they have got absolutely

no idea of the facts.

What the facts are

is that you can't afford to keep this hotel without me.

So I wanna make you a counter offer.

Well...

..let's hear it.

Let's play one more hand of cards.

If you win, the deal stands.

And if you win?

I won't be your partner anymore.

You let me buy you out of the entire hotel.
