VOICEOVER: Previously... Forgiveness is always possible,

and sometimes it will come when you least expect it.

You still care. Well, I do.

To be continued?

I think it's time that we move out.

I think of you as more than a friend.

They're boarding a flight to Cairns.

She's done a runner.

I can think of plenty of ways to spend that beautiful money.

Maybe you could give me some pointers.

I'd love to. Brunch?

Sure, but only because you're paying.

Hey! Look who's here for lunch. Ah.

Hey. No Isabelle?

Ah, I wanted to have some family time, just us.

Lovely. Mm. Mm.

Very thoughtful of you to come on your own.

Well, I wanted to show you guys that my relationship with you

is important to me. Mm-hm.

But so is Izzy.

Hello. (KNOCKS)

Hello. I'm not interrupting, am I?

No, no! Come in, come in.

I'm just going over some stuff for the wedding.

Oh.

I've got a little to do with the wedding myself.

Would you like to stay for the barbecue?

No, no, thank you. I...I really just wanted

a quick word with Susan. OK.

I think that's our cue, Dad. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah.

Have a seat, have a seat.

(SIGHS)

I am really all over the shop today.

Nicolette and the boys won't stop talking about New York

and I'm missing Byron, and I just...

..I don't know what to do, how to fix this mess with Clive.

Do you want to fix it?

Depends what day you ask.

One minute, I think I am close to forgiving him,

and then the next, I just... I just have this block.

Yeah. I've been there.

More than once.

There's no easy answer.

I think you've just got to follow your heart

and see where it leads.

You look pleased with yourself. I think today is the day

I'm going to get back on track with Jane.

She's forgiven you? Not yet.

But we're making progress,

and I have been reflecting on relationships.

How far back are we talking?

At least those I've had in Erinsborough.

What's the next step, then? Call it a change in strategy.

I think Jane is really going to appreciate this.

Well, well done. At least one of us is having some luck with the ladies.

Hmm? Ah, don't worry about it.

Tell me about this idea. OK, so, back in the day...

Hey, just the person I was looking for.

OK. Uh, you're up.

Ah, no, I can't. It won't take long, I promise.

I'll do it got tomorrow. I can't do tomorrow.

I have other people I have to interview, so...

Oh, give it here.

I'll, um... I'll give it back to you later.

Are you alright?

Oh, Squid, you know I love you, but I really do have to run.

I've got to go and pick up my jacket and get the flowers.

Dad, Dad, it's fine, OK? What can I do to help?

Nothing, mate, you've just got off a 16-hour flight.

Yeah, the jet jag hasn't even kicked in yet. Put me to work.

I could do with a hand. I'm at your service.

Aww. OK. Righto. I've got to go.

Bye! See ya.

Come here. OK, OK.

Enough of the mushy stuffy. Go!

So... Oh, actually, while it's just us,

I've got something for you.

Oh?

(GASPS)

Do you like it? Dad said you were really into pigs.

Oh, Cal, it's perfect.

Think of it as being my way of welcoming you into the family.

Oh, that is so sweet.

Thank you.

(MUSIC PLAYS)

(HOOTS)

Clive, is that you?

There's nothing plain about my girl, Jane.

The most beautiful woman I know.

And if you have her in your world, you should never let her go.

The biggest heart, the prettiest smile,

everyone agrees.

And when I look into her eyes, I go weak at the knees.

Oh...

If she gives me one more chance...

(BIKE ENGINE REVS)

..I promise, for the rest of my days...

..that I will make my life's mission this...

(ENGINE REVS)

..to shower her with love and praise.

Do you mind?!

(ENGINE REVS)

(SIGHS)

Where was I?

(SPITS)

# Hold my heart and

# Hold my soul... #

KARL (VOICEOVER): "When I think about my time on Ramsay Street,

"I can't help but think of the mistakes I've made.

"It hasn't all been happy memories.

"There was a time

"I thought I'd never get back to the life I lost."

# Come near and closer... #

"But that's the thing about bad times.

"You can always learn from them.

"If you're ever in doubt, I say read this book.

"It might tell you more about yourself than you expect."

# Hold my soul. #

I'm just going to keep reminding myself, you know,

I'm not moving to Woop Woop. Sure, but it's a big change

after all these years. Yeah.

Look, to be honest, I'm actually a bit worried about you guys.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Toadie, we're fine, really. Alright. Well...

Hard rubbish. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, it's tomorrow and Paige said

that we've got to get all the junk out before the first open.

Fair enough. OK. Good luck. See ya.

Hello, lads. Hello.

Hey, I've got a few snags left over if you're hungry.

Oh, I'm all good. I'm all good.

You gonna tell them? Go on.

Tell us what?

It's Izzy.

You won't get a better offer than that, Chloe.

House means a lot to me.

Thanks.

I look forward to your call.

Will I keep my job? Yeah, I believe so.

No, I mean, Shane knows that you're a very good worker.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Oh no. What? What's up?

My dad. Tell him not to worry.

You'll be fine. He's here.

Oh, Sam, I don't have time to deal with

an overprotective father right now.

(KNOCK AT DOOR) That's him.

Alright, well, just take him on a tour of the hotel.

Tell him I'm too busy to talk, alright?

Ah, yes, stop. New sentence.

Lucy, the contract will be over to you very soon.

Nice try, Robinson.

You can't palm me off that easily.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Well, I knew it would happen,

but this has got to be a record, even for you.

Mum. What, do you want to tell him,

or shall I? I already know.

We've broken up.

You confessed?

How did you know?

Kyle saw Izzy with Shane.

Right, so, you knew you were sprung, and decided to get in first.

(SIGHS) I didn't...I didn't understand it...at first

and then I...read this, and it became clear.

Your story, my story.

It goes a bit deeper than that.

This is like the last time.

Is this you trying to re-create

some sort of romanticised version of the past?

I don't want you, but I...

..I do want your love and your...

(SOBS) ..your acceptance.

Why?

(SOBS)

You are Karl and Susan Kennedy.

I guess I just thought that if...

(SOBS)

..if people saw you accepting me,

then they would think I was worthy.

So, you used our son to...to what -

to bolster your self-esteem?

I wanted a reason to come back.

I thought it was love.

I'm so sorry, Mal, I... Just don't.

The fact that I even...

(SOBS)

..gave Shane a second look...

..means I wasn't as invested as I should have been.

Well, you are not getting my approval.

I know.

I'll, um...

I'll get out of your way.

Say it. "I told you so."

Oh, no. Oh, no. Come here. Darling, no.

Aww, Mal.

Sweetheart.

Sam Young, of course. I didn't even make the connection.

Well, that was intentional.

You didn't want me sticking my nose in,

trying to get you a job here, did you?

No. No. (CHUCKLES)

I didn't even know you'd moved back to Melbourne.

Yeah, we moved back a couple of months ago.

"We"? Is there a Mrs Young? Uh, not anymore.

We're divorced.

But everyone is friends.

Everyone is friends, that's right.

Rose, Sam's mum, she's still in WA,

but her job means she can come back and forth, so that's good.

But Sam tells me the hotel is up for sale.

Yeah, yeah. I don't think you're going to have

any problems with the new owner though.

You'll never guess. Shane Ramsay.

What, did he win the lotto? (CHUCKLES)

Why don't we all catch up? You can ask him yourself.

I'd love to. That'd be great.

Yeah, there's lots of old faces floating about.

Jane Harris has moved back on the street.

Right.

I mean, she's probably too busy to catch up with us now.

I mean, you'll be able to catch up with her another time.

Yeah, I'll find her at some point or other. Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

A gorilla-gram? Yes.

Clive hasn't done one of those since, well, the '80s.

Oh, well, there's no denying he's making an effort.

You know, for a little while there, I started to remember

some of the fun times we had,

and then, well, this motorbike just drove past,

completely killing the moment.

Hey. Oh, hello.

Hi. Are you here for the tablecloths?

Yes, and decorations. Follow me.

You want to come too? Oh, if you don't mind.

Wow. Um, it's definitely not a boring read.

Yeah, I figured I should apologise to the Kennedys

after what I put them through.

They have been to hell and back because of me.

I'm not gonna hurt them anymore.

So, Ramsay Street without the Toad?

It's kind of like having a mullet without the hair.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I know.

I know, but it feels right.

Wedding favours are done.

Can you believe, I think we're actually gonna pull this off?

And it's gonna be perfect.

Well, not quite.

Oh. Amy?

I know, it sucks.

I so wish she was here, so we could sort everything out.

Hmm.

Surprise!

Oh, wow. It's completely different.

Where's the pool gone?

And there was a bridge. Where was the bridge?

There. Wow.

You've done your homework, haven't you?

Well, that's Sammy to a T, isn't it?

You probably don't need me to tell you this,

but she takes her job very seriously.

I'm very proud of you, aren't I?

(BOX CLATTERS) Oh!

I'm so sorry! Sorry!

Sorry.

Mike! Jane.

What...what are you doing here?

Uh, well, my daughter, Sammy, she works here.

Sammy, this is Jane.

I know, Dad, I know.

I never made the connection.

Yeah, nor did I.

Well, you...you're looking well.

Oh, no.

I've been running around, helping to organise

a wedding reception on Ramsay Street.

Were you there earlier?

Oh, uh, you know... (STAMMERS)

..you know, I didn't say hi.

It looked like you were in the middle of something.

Were you at the street?

It was just a quick drive-by, you know, for old times' sake.

Here, let me help.

The, uh, bride has gone for a romantic theme.

Do you remember Melanie?

Melanie.

(IMITATES MEL'S LAUGH)

Yeah. Well, that's the one.

She probably doesn't laugh like that anymore, though.

Well...

Join us for drinks?

Yeah, why don't you?

It'd be really nice to catch up.

Alright, I'd...I'd like that.

Here, let me help you.

(EXHALES)

Here.

OK.

I don't love you.

I mean, I do, of course I do, but I don't love you like that.

So, why did you take off, avoid our calls,

and then ask us to send all your stuff to Cairns?

Well, I was confused. Join the club.

OK, this is the thing, right?

I was sitting at my favourite bar, right?

It's around the corner from Eric's.

They do these really amazing rosemary daiquiris.

But they're not as good as the van...

Amy, focus.

Yeah. OK.

So, I'm sitting there, and all of a sudden...

You've really done it this time, Greenwood.

Joel tracked you down? Uh-huh.

What? How? Insta.

He owns a business in Cairns.

JOEL: You're a muppet. The role of supportive friend

will not be played by Joel Samuels.

Just think about it. How long have you known Toadie?

Forever.

And in all that time,

have you ever fancied him?

No!

It's just Zara got it in my head

that I was treating him like a boyfriend,

and then I just...

..got caught up in the wedding preparations.

His wedding preparations.

And I just got confused, OK?

I just...I couldn't be around him, them, at all.

Tell me, how do you feel about him right now?

So, all of a sudden, it hit me.

ALL: What? Well...

I felt bad about what happened, right?

But I didn't miss you like that.

Like what? Like what?

Like someone who I was in love with.

You know, we talked and we talked

and we talked some more and we drank some more,

and by my fourth daiquiri, it all became very clear.

You're right.

This is not about Toadie! Mm-hm. It's about you.

Always. You were just lonely.

Yeah, it's like I have this constant need to be in love -

like it's the only thing that makes me happy.

You don't need a man. I don't need a man.

You don't need a man!

I don't need a man!

Uh-uh! (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Or two?

Oh, you heard about that, did you?

No judgement. No.

I'm impressed. Cheers.

(LAUGHS)

The bottom line is... I was just scared about losing you.

And that, combined with my insecurities,

it all just got a little twisted.

But you're OK now? Mm-hm.

I'm really sorry about all that.

And I don't expect you to forgive me,

but I do want you to understand.

Didn't Charlene steal your clothes?

Yes, we were left starkers!

Not that there was much to see, the water was pretty cold.

It was very cold. (PAUL LAUGHS)

Dad! What?

Hey, be honest, who do you think would have won our boxing match

if it had gone ahead?

Oh, me, definitely. Mate, you're dreaming.

How did you two end up boxing?

Well, like most things in those days, it was over a girl.

(CHUCKLES)

You remember when WE first met?

I was probably crying.

The kids at school had given me some very unflattering nicknames.

Yeah, if I remember rightly, I think I told you

that they were just jealous because you were so smart.

Paul's always had your back, hasn't he?

Oh, who would have thought that you two

would have ended up teachers?

Yes, I was a bit surprised when I heard that.

(GROUP LAUGHS)

Oi! You!

Mike?

G'day, Clive.

Oh, now, Mal, you know you can stay with us

as long as you need, OK?

I've lost my appetite. Yeah, come on, let's go.

Uh, yeah, I won't be a minute.

Oh, Susan... No, no, it's OK.

It's OK, really. Yeah?

Thank you.

(SCOFFS)

Did you slip on some milk and hit your head again?

You did the right thing by telling Mal.

I really am trying to understand my behaviour.

I saw what you wrote in the history book.

It was very honest.

Went on a bit, but, um, I meant every word.

Isabelle, you don't need our approval.

You never did.

But you do need to try and find a way to like yourself.

Until you can do that, you'll never be truly happy.

Anyway...

I owe a lot to this man, Sammy.

Clive was once my guardian.

It wasn't all me. Daphne played a big part, as well.

Well, I'll always be grateful, mate.

Well... I think I might call it a night.

Oh, uh...

Here, let me give you a hand.

Oh, no, no. I can manage.

All good.

Well, we must do this again some time.

See ya.

Look, sorry I wasn't as welcoming as I could have been.

Oh, no, that's OK. I'm sorry I messed up your gorilla-gram.

The thing is, um, Jane broke off our relationship

a couple of weeks ago.

It's my fault, I made some terrible mistakes,

but I am trying to win her back.

So, I guess I have to ask...

..are you here to rekindle anything with her?

No.

No, I'm just here to make sure Sammy's OK.
