VOICEOVER: Previously...

Did I miss something? When did you step in for Paul?

Hey, how was it being back at River Bend?

KIRI: The place is back on the market.

We should buy River Bend.

There really is nothing left for us. We're over.

I want to buy into Lassiter's as a full and equal partner.

Going into business with Paul

is the worst decision you could ever make.

If you win, the deal stands.

And if you win?

You let me buy you out of the entire hotel.

We were supposed to be partners

but oh, no, he wants to rip the entire thing out from under me.

Yeah, well, it's pretty cheeky of him

to do it over a game of Blackjack.

He knew I'd never go for it, and this is just his way of saying

he wants everything or nothing.

Terese obviously got in his ear.

Here was me thinking that she was putting in a good word.

Yeah, he did...he did do a bit of digging with me as well.

What did you tell him?

Look, I just said he should set some firm boundaries

if you guys go ahead.

Well, I thought it would help the both of you guys.

(SIGHS)

So what are the options now?

(LIFT DINGS) I don't know.

Hello!

Oh, hi, Lucy.

Ah. This isn't the welcome I was expecting.

Yeah, look, there have been some developments.

Let's call it a classic Ramsay move.

Oh.

So the sign went up with no warning?

Yeah. (SIGHS) We don't know what's going on.

(DOOR OPENS)

Sorry, sorry, sorry, a zillion apologies.

So, this isn't a huge mistake then?

No, but the sign was premature.

I...I wanted to tell you first.

Wait, so this is real? You actually want to sell?

I thought us living together was going well.

What changed?

My outlook.

When I was in Adelaide, I did a lot of thinking,

and I decided I need to move on.

I know this decision impacts all of you.

I really wanted to tell you in person.

Does Aaron know?

Yeah, have you quit your job?

No, and not yet.

This isn't because of us, right?

No, no it's not about that. I, uh...have other reasons.

(MOBILE PHONE CHIMES) I've got to go.

I've got dinner with Glen. Can we talk about this later?

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

I hate doing this to you.

You've got to do what's right for you.

I just don't know where that leaves us.

Well, you haven't said how you feel about it.

Yeah, I mean, it's just an idea at this point.

It's a huge thing, you buying River Bend.

Yeah, but it's a great opportunity,

and it's great for you to be involved.

Well, if I go for it. Well, of course, if.

Just a lot of unexpected news for the night.

I think my head might explode.

You know what, I need to catch up with Chloe

and get the run down.

But don't worry, I won't make any rash decisions.

I mean, I haven't even been to River Bend.

Well, that's easily fixed.

We could do a day trip out there tomorrow.

Yeah, sounds like a good first step.

Yeah, let's do it.

PAIGE: Hello, is anyone home? Yeah, out the back.

Guess who! (SQUEALS)

Your face! What a lovely surprise!

Hi! Oh my goodness!

(GASPS) Kiri, Glen, this is Paige.

She's my, um...

Uh, technically your long-lost ex-step daughter,

but you can call me her favourite person in the world.

(LAUGHS) Nice to meet you!

Oh, it's so great to see you. And is Mark and the kids here too?

No, just me. It's a work trip!

Work?

Sorry to be rude, Paige, I'm going to head off.

A for sale sign showed up at the front of our house this morning,

so it's a bit of a crisis next door.

Yeah, that sign was not supposed to go up until tomorrow.

What? How did you know Chloe was selling her house?

So you're Chloe's sister-in-law?

Yes I am. I actually used to live here.

And now she's going to explain why the house went up for sale

before I had a chance to tell you.

I'm sorry, the sign was supposed to go up tomorrow.

The tradie must have just jumped the gun.

So you're a real estate agent?

Uh, I'm trying to be.

Hey, were you guys on the same flight back from Adelaide?

No, uh, I was on an earlier one.

Um, hey, how are David and Aaron doing?

I need to tell them about the sale.

I hope they don't take it too hard.

Yeah, I love the idea of Shane as a partner.

Yeah, so do I. I thought it was about friendship and loyalty.

So what do we say to him?

I don't know. We've got to salvage something.

We gotta get Terese her money.

It's been a long time.

Yes, over 30 years.

You look great.

Although I have to admit, I wouldn't have recognised you.

Well, enough of the niceties. Let's get to the matter, hey?

Little Lucy's grown up.

So, how do we get you to reconsider a partnership?

Sorry, it's not personal.

You know, you can't just listen to Terese.

I didn't.

Tim Collins put together quite a report.

Ah, Tim Collins. You know...

..you can't trust a word that comes out of that crook's mouth,

or his newspaper.

I have to agree, Tim does have a vendetta against Paul.

I spoke to other people too, credible balanced sources.

Really? Who are we talking about?

It's not important, Paul. Yeah, it is.

If you're going to back out of a contract

that's great for both of us,

I'd really like to know who's gotten in your ear.

You're leaving? Just like that?

I know it's a shock,

but honestly, it's been brewing for a while.

We thought you were happy here.

I am...mostly.

But work hasn't been the same since Terese left.

And while I was away with the fam, I suddenly thought to myself,

what am I doing with my life?

Please don't be mad, big bro.

I'm not, I'm just...

..my loss is Mark and Ty's gain, I'm just...

..I'm going to miss you.

You alright, Jane?

Oh, I'm fine. We're all going to miss Chloe.

And Mom and Clive broke up as well.

Oh, Jane, I'm so sorry.

I keep telling her that it's only up from here.

Jane! Oh, alright, come in.

What the hell is your problem?

I beg your pardon!

I've just heard from Shane what you told him about me.

Why don't you dial it down a notch?

No, it's alright, Nicolette.

When Shane asked me if he should go into business with you,

I was honest.

Oh, well, thank you.

Because of you, he is now seeking out every person in this suburb

who has a grudge against me.

Well, that's a full-time job.

Oh, hardy-har-har. You know what?

He doesn't just want to be in partnership anymore,

he wants the whole damn hotel!

You know, Jane, I have been trying to repair our friendship,

but I'm done.

I can't forgive you for this.

You will make a great real estate agent.

Well, you're my inspiration!

The way you went back to work with the little ones.

Why can't I have it all? Oh, exactly.

I am so proud of you, and I'm sure Lauren will be too.

Well, this little screw up wasn't the best start to my career.

Ah, screw ups, I've had a few of those too.

But you...you and Glen, you're...you're going well?

Yeah, so far.

What's that look for?

I don't know, I just...

..I thought that Paul was going to be your forever man.

(SIGHS) Paige, Paul and I will always have a connection.

It's just...it's just not healthy.

Things are just easier with Glen.

Easier?

What?

Do you love him?

Oh. GLEN: You ready?

Sure.

Hi. Hi.

Um, let's properly chat later.

Yeah. See you guys. See you.

Hello. Good morning.

Hey. Hey.

Did I sleep in?

Yeah, you needed it though.

I can't stop thinking about Chloe.

I'm going to be the last of my family on this street.

Hey, you'll always have me and Isla.

Yeah, I know, I know. You know what I mean.

If this is what's right for Chloe,

we can't stand in her way.

Mm.

Sometimes you have no choice but to move forward.

Hey, you know everything's going to be OK for you too, right?

Yeah.

Hopefully this recruiter helps me figure out what to do next.

Mm.

You know, you have a brain the size of a planet.

You can do anything, or you could trade on your looks.

You really could, you could be an exotic dancer.

You could be a life drawing model.

(LAUGHS)

I think...I'll save that for your eyes only.

Hey, I love you, boo.

I love you more.

Stunning, isn't it?

Mm. It's definitely peaceful.

Hey, did you dig out those proposals?

Yep.

Kiri's parents had plans to improve and expand the facilities.

Why didn't they go ahead? Was it council pushback?

No, it was all approved.

They just didn't have the cash flow at the time.

Oh, is that what was said?

Yeah, we thought it would be perfect for the health market.

I agree, and there's certainly a demand for it.

Someone's sounding tempted. Yeah, maybe.

Are you excited by this?

Yeah.

Is it weird for you, me being here?

No, it's not that.

If anything, that part's kind of healing.

Anything else on your mind?

No, no. Let's do this.

(SIGHS)

Shall we? Yeah.

Don't tell me you've let Paul get to you.

No, I'm just feeling sorry for myself.

Oh, Mum.

Who's got a cuddle for Auntie Paige?

I heard you were in town!

Oh, you have grown so much!

Yes you have! Yes you have!

You have come to steal Chloe from us, haven't you?

No stealing, I swear.

So, Mark and Ty didn't go and put the hard word on her?

Nobody did.

I was surprised she made the decision too.

You have no idea what she's planning to do over there?

Look, if you want details,

you're gonna have to ask her yourself.

Look at this little angel. Hi!

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me again.

I hope you won't keep trying to get me to change my mind about Paul.

I won't.

As much as I love my brother, I respect your decision.

I don't know, Leo. I mean, my back's against the wall.

What's this about?

I am just having a very preliminary chat to Shane

in case you decide to sell, just to save me another trip.

Sounds like jumping the gun. Oh.

I want to keep this friendly.

But you know that you won't find anyone else to partner with

if they do the same digging that I did.

And I assume you still want the money.

Well, there's simply enough room for a hotel and villas.

Lots of solar panels.

The whole resort could be carbon neutral, right, Kiri?

Yeah, right.

You know what? I'm getting ahead of myself.

We're hours away from home.

But we wouldn't have to be if it was home.

What, are you suggesting we move here?

Well, it doesn't make sense to commute.

Hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa.

There's one thing to propose buying a business,

but to pack up our whole lives and move to the bush?

I mean, that's not on my radar.

But it could be.

A lot of people make a tree change these days.

It could be a whole new lease on life.

Why don't you keep looking around?

Hey, are you sure everything's OK?

Yeah, I'm just thinking about our jobs and Nicolette.

That can be sorted out.

Do you think you're rushing this?

Maybe it's got something to do with Terese and Paul.

What?

You were uncomfortable with her helping him out.

Is this move about getting her away from him?

No, it's just a great opportunity for Terese,

for you, for us. That's all there is to it.

Leo, what's going on? You said it was urgent.

Uh, look, just take a seat, alright? Please.

I will just be out on the balcony.

Alright?

What am I watching? What's going on?

Oh, good day, David.

Hey, Dad. Glad Leo managed to finally pin you down.

Yeah. Is there something wrong?

I mean, you could have just come over.

Well, we've got a few others joining us.

Surprise! Elle?

'Sup, Dad? G'day from New York!

Amy, Andrew, what's going on? It's not my birthday.

No, but Leo sent out an SOS.

I thought you might have been trying to get hitched again,

so I'd have needed another intervention.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, no chance of that.

We heard things are up in the air with the hotel.

Yeah, Dad, we just wanted to put a little smile on your face.

Well, you've certainly done that. Thanks, guys.

Anyway, enough about me. What's happening with all of you?

Andrew, how's Tash?

She's awesome.

We spent a weekend in The Hamptons together.

So fancy.

Oh, you can talk, Aimes.

This one just landed the contract to an Upper East Side redevelopment.

You didn't! Amy, that is brilliant news, good on you.

I mean, the apartments will be super glamourous.

The construction process, hm, not so much.

Leo's driving Jimmy right around, but you're happy to do that.

What? Can't they just catch the subway?

People get mugged in the subway.

That's what I keep saying! (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Ah.

You know, I'd like to find a space for open-air concerts.

You know, for the whole community as well as the hotel guests.

Do you reckon that's too big?

No, go big.

If we're done here, I'm going to go thank the owners

for letting us do a tour. OK.

You know what? I thought she'd be more interested.

Oh, no, no, she is.

She just doesn't want to get her hopes up

in case it all falls through.

Well, true. I mean, I don't even know if it's feasible.

Which part? The buying it or moving here?

Well, both.

I know you love Ramsay Street, but you've lived other places.

Darwin, Perth. This could be your next home.

Yeah, maybe.

I guess I've just got to weigh it all up.

Yeah, of course you do.

Why are you so keen?

I love you. I just want you to be happy.

Well, you've made a strong case.

So, come on, what else is new? I want to hear everything.

Has Amy told you about her new man yet?

No. You kept that one under your hat, didn't you?

Because it's all very recent.

Very steamy from what I hear.

Stop, I'm blushing.

Why don't you tell them about your new feature article, Elle?

Is that the one about the start-up scam?

I read that. That was brilliantly done, darling.

Oh, thank you. Yeah, I'm really, really proud of this one.

Look out for her on next year's Pulitzer's list, guarantee it.

Don't go overboard.

I went to The Met with Donna the other day,

and she said to say hello.

Ah, that's lovely! Always a bit of a firecracker that one.

I went too, it's good to see her.

You went to The Met?

Since when do you like going to museums?

Art. I like culture.

Don't be coy, tell Dad the real reason.

I went to put a tanner in for their rooftop.

Well, that's amazing! We always love going there for cocktails.

Wait, it seems like you guys catch up a lot.

Yeah! Since we reconnected, we all try to catch up when we can.

Family's the most important thing, right, Dad?

Oh, hear, hear.

I miss you guys, and I miss living in New York.

I mean, no offence to Erinsborough,

but it really is the best city in the world by a mile.

Would you ever consider coming back?

Oh yeah, in a heartbeat.

I'd love Abby to see where her roots are.

We can reinstate Robinson's cocktail Fridays if you want.

Whoo-hoo! Yes!

What? That's a thing?

I feel like I've missed out on so much.

Tell me about it.

Hey Dad, look, call me crazy,

but if you're thinking about selling the hotel,

why don't you just move here?

What's stopping all of you from moving here?

(LAUGHS) Could you imagine?

The whole Robinson clan in The Big Apple.

I don't think New York would know what had hit it.

You know, it's not the most insane thing I've ever heard.

Except for the whole job situation,

and we've got lives here.

Yeah, responsibilities.

I have a husband and a daughter.

Who might love a fresh start.

Yeah, well, it would be...huge.

Guys, I grew up here. I mean, my community is here.

Community's not really about the place though, is it?

Yeah, it's about the people you share it with.

I mean, between all of us and Lucy, we could find you work.

If that's not your thing,

Manhattan could be a great place to retire.

I promise you that I will keep your favourite scotch

at the rooftop bar. I promise.

(LAUGHS)

Hey. Hey, Paul.

You're very chipper.

Yeah, we just got back from River Bend.

Ah, bit of a short getaway, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was more of a fact-finding mission.

I'm considering buying the place.

Ah, I see. Putting the settlement money to good use.

Mind you, it's bit of a long commute though, isn't it?

Well, if it goes ahead, I'll probably move out there.

Right, yeah, right.

Well, I mean, you should do it. It sounds absolutely perfect.

I'm thinking about a bit of a change myself.

Selling the whole hotel to Shane

and joining the kids in New York.

I thought you were going to be partners with Shane.

Well, it turns out he doesn't want to work with me,

and kids want me over there, so.

Right.

See you.
