APRIL:
I'm here to stay,
and you're only here
for a week or two.
Then you go,
and everything goes back to the
way it was before you got here.
Let's sort out your divorce,
sell the brewery,
and run away to Europe.
I can't do that.
Of course, the ex.
How did we suddenly start
talking about Charlie?
There'll always be a room here
for you
if things don't work out.
I'm guessing they won't.
AJAX: It's not for forever,
but right now, it's free.
Ajax, I thought the whole point
was to get away from Meryl.
Voilà.
Don't worry. Haven't had
patients back here for years.
Why don't I just stay
at a hotel?
I get panic att*cks.
-Did you get counseling?
-Hugh, we're doctors.
We show any sign of weakness,
and we're out of a job.
Let me guess --
You need someone
to run the clinic
while you're away.
-I already asked Tara.
-Tara?
How did Penny get through
this sh*t every day?
HUGH:
Oh, she's a ginger cyborg
that hasn't taken holiday
in five years.
-You're drunk.
-[ Scoffs ]
She was right about one thing.
You're not fit to be a parent.
You get what you need,
and you get off this property,
and you don't come back
until you've got your head
screwed on again.
What's happened?
Don't ask.
[ Sighs ]
[ Goat bleats ]
Okay, so there are bubbles,
Tim Tams within easy reach.
No agenda, mind you.
You reckon?
Apart from making you happy.
Looks like you could be up
for something.
Could be.
And you?
Could be.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Is it yours?
Well, it's definitely not yours.
[ Exhales sharply ]
I'm pregnant.
[ Chuckles ]
Wow.
[ Laughs ]
-Isn't this great?
-Ah.
Now we don't have to have sex
all the time.
Huh?
I'm just kidding.
[ Laughs ]
Aah!
[ Laughs ]
[ Mid-tempo instrumental music
plays ]
[ Birds chirping ]
What you doing?
Did you know that all babies
grow a mustache in the womb,
then it falls off
and they eat it?
Uh, where did you read that?
This forum I've joined
called Dad Help.
These gents do not hold back
on the information,
I'll tell you that for free.
O-Okay, maybe hold off
on the forum stuff.
Why?
Because I haven't seen Hugh yet.
I need the home test confirmed.
I don't want to jinx it.
Well, there's nothing wrong
with a little bit of,
you know, groundwork,
like maybe telling Mum.
Are you kidding me?
We can't have Meryl
spreading it around town
until we're sure
this thing's viable.
Do you want me to come with you?
Oh, no.
It's just a blood test.
You got things to do.
-You happy?
-You kidding me?
I'm out of my head.
You have to keep telling me
all the time.
[ Chuckles ]
Oh, that's my T-shirt.
And my jeans.
And my bra.
Okay, how about we move on?
How about that?
All right.
What's up with you?
It's my last day
filling in at school.
When that bell goes,
I'm unemployed
and sleeping in a hospital bed.
You're right.
That is kind of bleak.
-As you were.
-CHARLIE: You know what, Hugh?
You're also sleeping
in a hospital bed,
and you had your kid
confiscated.
Aha.
Soon to be returned.
I didn't realize they worked
like library books.
I'm happy to have a few days off
while Meryl makes her point.
Have you discussed this
with Eliza?
I have her full support.
Mm.
Pudding cup for the road?
Uh, get that thing away from me.
[ Birds chirping ]
There's more nappies
in the top cupboard,
and here's the little penguin
Jimmy likes when he misses me.
We wouldn't need Frosty
if you just stayed home.
Somebody has to look after Eliza
while Meryl and Hugh fight.
Right, now, let's go through
our house rules one more time.
Hayles, I'm no good at
the stay-at-home dad stuff.
Ajax, we're living
independently,
raising a child,
and we're broke.
Now, house rules
one more time, please.
Stick to the budget.
HAYLEY: And?
No hunting for my food.
Excellent.
You two boys have fun.
Bah!
Okay, we're on top
of the paperwork.
Has someone removed
that disgusting brown brick
from the fridge?
That was my homemade banana
bread, but, yes, it's gone.
Good.
Why don't you take a breath,
Tara?
Does she have to?
I'm enjoying being
the calm center for once.
Did you vacuum the room after
you cleared all your crap out?
No, and why would I?
Penny's back
from her honeymoon today.
And no one thought to tell me?
I told Tara to pass it on.
And as the one in charge,
I told you to do it.
Don't worry, don't worry.
What she doesn't know
won't hurt her.
PENNY:
Sounds ominous.
HUGH:
Hey, there.
You guys hiding something
from me?
[ Laughs ]
No, just how much we missed you.
Welcome back, stranger.
How was it?
It was incredible.
We stayed in a hut on the beach
and had alcohol with every meal.
Wow, sounds perfect.
Right, what did I miss?
Oh, nothing.
Tara's been great.
In fact, her communication
skills are second to none.
She's done all your paperwork
and cleaned out the fridge.
It was a team effort.
Wow.
Thank you, Tara.
Oh, thank you
for the opportunity.
[ Sighs ]
Get your stuff out of there now.
Exactly, all that stands
between Penny and that mess
is some
cleaning-in-progress signage.
Now!
Being in charge for a week
has made you very aggressive.
If she makes noise,
just give her a dummy.
Well, she is missing her dad.
Might be time
to give him a call.
Hugh needs to regroup.
If intervention was easy,
I'd do it more often.
Morning, counselors...
and infant.
Glad to see you feel comfortable
using chambers as a crèche,
Meryl.
Right, so I thought
it might prove useful
to commission an impact report
into the effect of FIFO workers
on our community's
sense of well-being.
The results
aren't very surprising.
90% of residents feel
that fly-in, fly-out workers
are damaging Whyhope's image
and overall safety.
Well, surely not.
I had one of them help me home
with my shopping last week.
[ Scoffs ]
Well, you'll note some
very disturbing stats there --
drug abuse on our doorsteps,
young women afraid to walk home.
I think it's pretty clear
that a vote for 300 more FIFOs
is a vote
for lives lived in fear.
Got one over you this time,
Meryl.
Must be losing your touch.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, just a blip in an otherwise
muscular campaign
to secure your
FIFO accommodation.
A blip?
I've been gone a week, and
everything's gone to the dogs.
Jarrod, have some sponge.
It's delicious.
Getting that road of yours
sealed for you today.
You're supposed to be
delivering me a result.
And I will.
Can I make a suggestion?
Back in year nine,
when Pimlington Public
started calling us
the Catholic Cows,
my principal organized
a netball match.
We channeled our contempt
into the game
and, in the end, learned to
appreciate their nose rings,
lack of school rules,
and atheism.
A game to introduce some of
our friendly FIFOs to our town?
Netball?
You can't be serious.
I think I can work with this.
Ajax.
You okay?
Yeah, just taking Jimmy
for a walk.
Cabin fever setting in?
Yeah, should I see Hugh
about that?
Ha-ha! I was just, um,
picking up some paint.
Thinking about redecorating
'cause April's pregnant.
Matt, man, that's awesome.
Yeah, expect I'll be coming
to you for advice and sh*t.
Really?
Oh, yeah, 'cause --
Yeah, cool, man.
-[ Jimmy crying ]
-[ Gasps ]
Better let you get back to it.
-Man, yeah. Well done.
-Thanks.
Oh, and, Ajax, maybe keep the
whole baby thing under your hat.
I-I just don't want
to jinx anything.
Yeah.
Hm?
She seems happy.
Mm, perhaps she's masking
the real trauma
of this little intervention,
as you are.
[ Sighs ]
Look, Hugh.
Meryl took Eliza away from you
because she thought
you needed cleaning up.
Granted, I could give you
a few tips
on decluttering
a small living area,
but you yourself, you're fine.
So why don't you just
give her a call, hey?
Ah, because
she'll be ringing me.
You sure about that?
She'll tire of
this whole scare tactic.
Screaming babies
really aren't her thing.
[ Eliza and Hugh laughing ]
Oh, for God's sake, come on.
Tara, I actually want to chat
later about your probation.
Yeah, that's excellent.
Thanks, Penny.
[ Eliza and Hugh laughing ]
[ Coughing ]
[ Eliza laughing ]
Penny, floor's wet.
[ Eliza laughing ]
Are you sleeping in here
with Eliza and Hayley?
What?
No, with Charlie. W--
What?
Like sleeping sleeping?
Does that matter?
No, I was just inquiring
for cleaning purposes.
HAYLEY:
Meryl's running an intervention.
She's kicked Hugh out.
And I'd like to stay here
until she apologizes.
No, no.
That's not going to happen.
I want you out,
Charlie, as well.
Excuse me.
I do need somewhere to crash.
Penny's right.
We can't keep enabling you.
-I realize that now.
-Me too.
You have patients waiting.
I've been back at work
a couple of hours,
and it's like
the honeymoon never happened.
Hugh has moved into
the old ward.
Apparently, Meryl's kicked him
out, and he's crashing --
You see what's going on here,
don't you?
No.
Every time that you're happy,
he just drags you back
into his stuff-ups.
If you don't want him
reeling you back in,
you got to let go of the line.
We got our own problems
to focus on.
What are our problems?
I've got to organize
a bloody netball game.
I'm sorry?
I was thinking my FIFOs
could play the clinic, you know?
A thousand bucks for every goal
that you guys score.
PENNY: That's very philanthropic
of you.
JARROD: Hey.
Charlie, Charlie.
I hear you've been staying
with us.
Yeah.
Funny thing.
PENNY:
Not so funny for me.
Not so funny.
This is a hospital.
sh*t, you're meant
to be gone, sister.
[ Sighs ]
[ Gearshift clicks ]
Okay, he's dehydrated,
moderate inflammation,
elevated white cells.
Nasty case of gastro?
Although at his age,
it's probably viral.
Mm-hmm.
Great.
Mrs. Dunlop?
Dr. Hugh Knight.
Uh, Amelia, please.
Okay.
Uh, Dr. Cordair and I have taken
a look at Xavier's bloods.
We think it's probably
a tummy bug.
Okay, but you've checked
for appendicitis, though?
This thing is pretty nasty.
The ultrasound was fine.
I'm sorry, ex-nurse.
I'm insufferably thorough.
Ah, right.
Look, we'll keep him overnight,
rehydrate him.
If there's any change,
we'll be on it.
I've got his admit papers here.
I can take you through them
if you'd like.
Oh, that's very sweet of you.
-Thank you.
-Not at all.
Hey, there, little dude.
Oh, check out this setup.
Screen time, comfy bed,
some jelly.
I think Dr. Knight and I
have probably got it.
Thanks, Doctor.
[ Scoffs ]
Charlie?
[ Chuckles ]
Matt, what are you doing here?
You first.
I thought you left.
Oh, yeah, I, uh -- I picked up
a few days' work at the school.
Okay.
And I'm lodging.
I guess that's the right word.
Here?
Yeah.
Hugh and I are kind of
kindred nomads at the moment.
Huh.
In a platonic way.
Anyhow, w-what's up with you?
Oh, you know, nothing much.
Just, uh...
Okay, well, if you're
looking for Hugh, he's around.
April and I are pregnant.
We're, um --
We're having a baby.
Oh, my God.
Wow!
Congratulations.
Thanks, yeah. Um...
She came in to see Hugh
to get some tests.
I thought I'd pop in
and surprise her.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, it was my last day
at school,
and I'm on my way out
tonight, so...
Charlie, uh, pregnancy's
really early days.
Won't tell a soul.
[ Chuckles ]
I've locked in the courts
for tomorrow,
plus a barbecue and a costume
for Fiona the Friendly FIFO.
I'll be umpiring, of course.
MERYL:
That's very efficient, Hayley.
HAYLEY: Mm. It's been nice
to have a project.
I've, uh, tried baking
and sewing in the caravan,
but it's been a little bit hard
without an oven and dim light.
Oh, so the novelty's
wearing off.
Oh, no, not at all.
It's lovely.
I just got off the phone
to the contractor's.
24 hours, and your road's
back in business.
Great. Now, you have
invited the hospital?
I have, and they've accepted.
And you'll be needing
two triple XL
and five quadruple
in the polo shirts.
We might have a bit
of a problem with numbers.
I've got most of my boys
excavating a new site tomorrow,
so we might be a bit short.
Honestly, Jarrod,
you can't spare 7 in 300 men?
What do you mean?
We got 100 men.
Nancy said you had
300 more to come.
No.
I'd like to reiterate that I had
no control over this situation.
Ken's right, and I'm leaving,
so apologies and thank you.
Actually, it might be helpful
if you stayed another day
and repay the favor.
Jarrod is organizing
a charity netball game,
and I said we'd
put together a team...
-It would be an honor.
-...against the FIFOs.
A terrifying and unsafe honor.
PENNY: He's donating $1,000
to the clinic
for every goal that we score,
so we need
a proven goal sh**t.
Sure.
Hot guys in skirts
rubbing up against each other?
I'm in.
Excellent.
I think we're up for
the challenge, aren't we, team?
Uh, just FYI,
I won't be playing.
Mm, Jarrod said
you'd be like that.
Hmm?
He thinks you're a bit --
A bit what?
I don't know, a bit --
Anyway, I'm off.
Fine, I'll play.
Sorry, what was that?
I'm not wearing a skirt
or...pivoting.
Okay.
How's the patient doing?
Oh, look, he's still
really quiet.
What would you say
if I stay tonight with Xav
just so I can watch him?
I don't want to be a hassle.
No, no,
no explanation necessary.
Hey, would you mind organizing
a foldout bed for Amelia?
She's gonna stay here tonight.
Or you two could just stay
at a motel.
I've seen firsthand
the ratio of staff to patients
on night shift
in rural hospitals.
Uh, sorry, Amelia,
Dr. Cordair was making a joke.
There's a reason why she
chose medicine and not stand-up.
Hey.
She's just looking out
for her kid.
What happened to compassionate
small-town doctor
looking to get out
of probation early?
She's a rude bitch.
No offense.
Right.
[ Sighs ]
So just tell me again.
You couldn't see Hugh today
at the hospital
because there was
some sort of mix-up?
Yeah, just some admin stuff,
no big deal.
'Cause I was trying
to call you all day.
I know.
I'll go tomorrow.
I just want to tell everyone.
We should probably hold off
on talking about the baby.
We don't want to let
anything slip.
MATT: Maybe you don't
have to worry about that.
-Did you say something?
-I might have told Ajax.
[ Sighs ]
I'm not sure why you thought
not to tell me.
I had to find out from Hayley.
Well, it's
a precautionary thing.
We -- We haven't even been
to the doctor's yet.
You have no need.
The Knights are very advanced.
You're on a tractor at 6 months.
So what does
everybody else think?
We think it is terrific, April,
just as long as you have
your babysitting options sorted.
Another grandchild, wonderful.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Another grandchild.
I'm sorry, you're putting
all the emphasis on "another."
MERYL:
No emphasis, Matt.
I'm thrilled.
I just think it's a bit rich
that Hugh hasn't turned up
to see his daughter, that's all.
But the thing is,
we're not talking about Hugh
for the first time in my life.
You kicked him out, Mum.
Oh, perhaps he's just
taking the night
to work on himself.
Oh, he's mucking about
in a cupboard with Charlie,
from all accounts.
AJAX:
Charlie's still here?
I thought she left.
Be great if she did.
Right!
Who wants dessert?
Yeah, hey,
should I say it again?
April and I are having a baby.
AJAX:
Yeah, say it again.
Mum can't tell
that she's pissing off
her last remaining son.
[ Bowl clatters ]
I'm very happy
for you and April, truly.
Congratulations.
I'll take that as your apology.
I suppose I always saw you and
Charlie sitting at that table.
And now that she's leaving,
you're pregnant,
well, it just seems so final.
I don't know what it is
that you're trying to do,
but you should be careful.
Just like Ajax said, there's not
a lot of us left in your corner.
Just so long as you're happy.
I am.
[ Water sloshing ]
This is what she does
every time.
She just sucks the joy
out of anything good.
Charlie's in town, huh?
Uh, yeah, she did some subbing
at the school, apparently.
Finished up today,
then she's leaving.
So you knew?
Great.
That woman has had
as many farewell tours
as John bloody Farnham.
Hey, it's -- it's like you
asked me to remind you today.
I'm happy.
You're happy.
W-We're -- We're very happy.
[ Sighs ]
Trouble sleeping?
I can't believe you make
patients sleep in these beds.
They're like rocks.
I could buzz the night nurse if
you like, get an extra pillow.
Don't bother.
One more day,
and I'm out of here.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, excuse me
if I don't quite believe you.
Matt's with April.
End of story.
Yeah, he has been
for the last year.
Why all of a sudden
you're throwing in the towel?
They're pregnant.
He told me today.
[ Scoffs ]
See?
You're happy for him.
What?
Well, no.
Well...
CHARLIE:
So you should be.
I am, too.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Birds chirping ]
Ah, morning.
I had a brainwave somewhere
between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m.,
and I figure if we
knock through to the study,
we'll have, like,
a five-star nursery.
D-Do we really need five stars?
You still bummed
about last night?
No, not gonna let anyone
get in the way
of us being as happy
as we deserve to be.
I got to go and see Hugh.
Pregnant, huh?
Who told you?
News travels fast.
Should we do the blood test?
Missed you at dinner last night.
You still red-carded?
Ha.
And how's Matt taking the news?
Must be beside himself.
He's building a nursery.
Of course he is.
[ Laughs ]
TARA:
Good morning, Xav.
Wow, you're looking much better
this morning.
I think you might even
be able to split.
Okay, where's Dr. Knight?
What does he think?
Dr. Knight thinks
I'm in charge today.
But he's still not himself yet.
I think you should
do more bloods.
We did blood yesterday and
an ultrasound and an abdo X-ray.
He needs rest at home.
You know, we have a saying
in nursing,
"Ignore the mother
at your peril."
Yeah, that's similar
to one of ours.
"Don't let the patients
get a crush on you.
You'll never see
the back of them."
[ Beep ]
[ Sighs ]
Okay, this may be a little cold.
[ Inhales sharply ]
[ Beeping ]
[ Button tapping, beeping ]
I'm hoping the terrifying
black-and-white void
is standard.
When I had a look
at your bloods,
your pregnancy hormone level
was very low.
I'm sorry.
The ultrasound confirms
that you've had
a really early miscarriage.
I only did the test
the other night.
It was positive.
I'm sure it was.
-You've had some bleeding?
-Uh, a bit.
I thought that was normal.
Unfortunately, this can happen
early in the first trimester.
Why?
Did I do something wrong?
No, no.
Most of the time, it's random.
There's nothing you could
have done to prevent it.
It doesn't mean you can't
get pregnant again, though.
We can talk about
a pre-conception action plan
if you like.
Also, I need to see you
in a couple days for a checkup.
Can you just be here with me
as a friend for a sec?
Sure, sure.
This sucks big time, doesn't it?
[ Clicks tongue ]
Yeah.
Yeah, it does.
I'm sorry.
[ Sniffles ]
So I'll see you
in a couple days?
Hey, April.
I heard the news, and I just
wanted to say congratulations.
Thanks.
[ Sighs ]
Hey.
So I'm, uh -- I'm trying to
figure out where to put the cot,
but these feng shui guidelines
don't offer a lot
of wiggle room.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
The appointment
didn't go so well.
I'm not pregnant anymore,
apparently.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just wishing we hadn't gone
to all of this effort.
Oh, that's okay.
We'll just, um --
just keep trying, yeah?
Yeah.
Um, shall we go to this
dumb netball game or what?
[ Sniffles ]
[ Exhales deeply ]
Okay, welcome, everybody.
Can I please have
the team captains up here?
[ Indistinct talking ]
JARROD:
Good day.
Look, I'd just like to say
thanks for coming out today.
Much appreciated.
Also, Fiona the Friendly FIFO.
Show her your love.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We're gonna smash you, miners.
[ Cheering ]
MAN:
All right, Whyhope...
Oh, hello, Hugh.
-Mum.
-MAN: A couple minutes now
before we get the game
under way.
Can I have a hold?
You could have had a hold last
night at dinner if you'd come,
but you didn't turn up.
Dinner?
Oh, don't you mean the ambush?
May I?
[ Eliza babbles ]
Hey, bubba.
Come on, bubba.
Oh.
Daddy's missed you.
MAN: And now we've got our teams
down on the court...
[ Babbles ]
-AJAX: Hello.
-Hey, buddy.
MAN: All the best
to the two teams today.
It's gonna be a ripsnorter.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Charlie's playing?
[ Laughs ]
Hey, fellas,
we're a couple down.
Any chance one of you
can join our team?
Uh, yeah, sure.
No, wait, Matt.
[ Air horn blows ]
[ Whistle blows ]
[ Crowd shouting ]
-Yep.
-Yep, yep, yep.
[ Grunts ]
Ref!
Contact.
-[ Whistle blows ]
-Contact.
Contact.
HUGH:
It's all right.
Who needs a spleen anyway?
Stand aside, please, Jarrod.
Yep.
CHARLIE:
Hey, hey.
MAN: And the first goal
for the hospital team.
Good work hospital.
Well done.
First goal
for the hospital team.
Hey, how you holding up?
Fine.
[ Whistle blows ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
You know, April was
a real trouper this morning.
Yeah, she said you're amazing,
doctor by day,
sleeping with Charlie by night.
Well, I mean, t-technically
that's true, but...
Well, Hugh Knight only ever
technically sleeps with women.
It's just been
a really sh*t day.
Yeah, I know.
Just hang in there.
Back.
[ Whistle blows ]
[ Cheering ]
MAN: That's another goal
for the hospital,
bringing their total to 15
against the FIFOs.
Pittance of a score of 2.
Come on, FIFOs,
get your act together.
[ Cellphone ringing ]
You want to deal with that?
[ Gasps ]
Oh, it's my dear friend Rose.
She's the minister
for local government.
I've been e-mailing her
about your FIFO Impact Report.
She can't wait to read it.
Yes, Rose?
Hey, April, is Matt okay?
PENNY: Tara.
TARA:
Betty.
BETTY: Ken!
HUGH:
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
-[ Grunts ]
-[ Whistle blows ]
HAYLEY:
Contact call, defense.
Free sh*t to the hospital.
Come on.
Ah! Thank you.
MATT:
You'll get it eventually.
Yep, hilarious.
Just take the sh*t.
-[ Whistle blows ]
-HAYLEY: Ball, please.
Toss it up standing
90 centimeters apart.
Just let go of the f*cking ball!
HAYLEY: Excuse me. Will I
have to raise my voice here?
All right, mate, seriously,
you need to calm down.
Don't use your patronizing
doctor voice on me.
Listen, I know --
[ Grunts ]
Oh, my God.
[ Hugh grunts ]
Matt!
Get off him.
[ Whistle blows ]
Time-out.
What the hell was that?
-He riled me up.
-APRIL: No, he didn't.
You came looking for a fight.
I'm going home.
[ Groans ]
What happened out there, champ?
Um...we lost the baby.
Oh, Matt.
It's all right.
We're gonna try again.
How's the move going?
You know, I've been
where April is.
It doesn't hurt to ease up.
Anyway, I'm going tonight.
Okay.
You guys will be fine.
Great start, team.
For a first game,
I think we have potential.
Hey, uh, would you mind
cleaning me up?
Two decades of medical training.
You can probably do it yourself.
No.
Aren't you
a little bit concerned?
Mm, I'm not getting sucked
into your dramas, Hugh.
[ Scoffs ] Drama?
I don't create drama.
[ Laughs ]
Somebody help me!
I told you he was sick.
-HUGH: Okay. All right.
-PENNY: Let's go.
-Oh, God.
-HUGH: Where?
Xavier, can you hear me, buddy?
How you feeling?
When we got home, he started
needing to use
the bathroom again.
Then he threw up.
I didn't know what to do.
She told me not to come back.
I did not.
500 mils of saline.
I asked her to check him again.
She said that he would be fine.
[ Beeping ]
Okay, severely dehydrated.
Presenting with hypokalemia.
How's his pH?
Any sign of metabolic acidosis?
Mrs. Dunlop, why don't you wait
outside with our nurses?
No. He's sick.
I-I can be helpful here.
PENNY: No, we really need
this space clear.
Thank you.
HUGH: Okay, we've got
a weak radial pulse.
Let's start him on antibiotics,
electrolyte replacement,
and cardiac monitoring.
Also, I want strict fluids
and blood-sugar checks.
Why was this child sent home?
I checked in on him
this morning.
He'd made a full recovery.
Were you there?
I was with another patient.
I thought Tara could handle it.
I can handle it.
I've been handling this place
for a week.
Did Mrs. Dunlop ask you
to check Xavier again?
Yes, but...
[ Sighs ]
You got to understand,
she's been really pissy with me.
So you stopped listening?
It must feel very strange,
sitting on the wrong side
of history.
What do you want, Meryl?
I want to be mayor.
The majority vote's with me.
Well, you might like to check
with Counselor Eagle about that.
Well, after long
and careful deliberation,
I've come to the view that Meryl
is the way of the future.
Why on earth
would you think that?
MERYL:
It's generally frowned upon,
forging official
council documents
and falsifying FIFO numbers
by 200 or more.
An external company did that
report, Walker Civil Consulting.
Yeah, the Walker,
your brother-in-law.
He comes from Victor Harbor.
It's the truth --
The people of Whyhope
don't want drunken FIFOs
roaming the streets.
Well, my friend Rose,
uh, the minister,
she said that if the report
had been fabricated,
she would require your
immediate resignation as mayor.
And I can't be associated
with any wrongdoing, Nancy.
It just goes against
everything I stand for.
Oh, wow.
[ Chuckles ]
If you two think
I'm gonna sit here
and be lectured by you
on corruption...
No, we're not
going to lecture you.
We're just going to
leave it at that.
[ Sighs ]
You two will live
to regret this.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
I'm sorry.
Everywhere I look, there she is.
Netball, my very private
doctor's appointment.
It's as if she's burrowing
into every part of my life.
Are we gonna have to
share this with her, too?
I know.
I'm sorry.
She has a problem letting go.
Maybe you do, too.
No, I don't.
So you're telling me that shove
didn't come off Hugh and Charlie
fooling around with one another?
It came off the back of Hugh
being annoyingly fertile
and easy to take
my frustration out on.
I was just excited
about the baby.
Then it was gone.
Same.
And when did Xavier's
stool culture come back?
Late this morning.
After you discharged him.
The stool culture shows Giardia,
bacterial cause
of gastroenteritis.
Xavier needed antibiotics.
It's an easy mistake to make,
Penny.
It's a biased mistake.
You discharged too early.
Why were you and Mrs. Dunlop
butting heads?
TARA: She was telling me
how to do my job,
not to mention
latching on to Hugh.
Well, that does happen
more often than not.
Yeah, I'm just gonna --
[ Clears throat ]
This is not a city
emergency department, Tara.
We could have seen
a very different outcome.
Look, I know we said we'd talk
about your probation,
but this is what this time
is for, learning to slow down.
Penny, come on.
Let's talk in a month.
-Ciao, roomie.
-Mm-hmm.
It's been fun.
I hope we never do it again.
-Never.
-[ Chuckles ]
What's your plan?
Oh, I hear there's a nice
public toilet down the road.
Might try there.
Hugh, Meryl won't give in.
Maybe it's time
you had a chat to her.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
Trust me, if you've
got somewhere to go
and someone who loves you,
you should do that.
Hm.
Dr. Knight?
* Standing on the platform *
* Watching you go *
* It's like no other pain *
* I've ever known *
* To love someone so much *
* To have no control *
* You said,
"I want to see the world" *
* And I said, "Go" *
Hi, sweetheart.
* But I think I'm lost
without you *
* I just feel crushed
without you *
* I've been strong for so long *
* I never thought
how much I needed you *
* I think I'm lost without you *
* Strangers rushing past *
* Just trying to get home *
* But you were the only
safe haven that I've known *
* Hits me at full speed *
* Feel like I can't breathe *
* And nobody knows *
* This pain inside me *
* My world is crumbling *
* I should never *
* Have let you go *
* Standing on the platform *
* Watching you go *
* You said,
"I want to see the world" *
* And I said *
* "Go" *
[ Birds chirping ]
[ Cows mooing ]
It's okay.
You're awake.
I know these last few days
have been rough.
And I know a part of you
is still confused about Charlie.
Please don't tell me
that it isn't.
But I'm doing what I should
have done when she came back.
I'm asking you to pick me
so that we can get married
and have babies
like we're always meant to.
I love you so much.
I can see our future together,
and it is amazing, but...
...I can't pick you.
I want to, but I just can't.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
Goodbye.
You know what?
I told myself
if this all went south,
I'd walk away with grace.
But go to hell, Matt Knight.
You're an assh*le with
too many flannelette shirts.
You need to hear that.
[ Groans ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Knock on door ]
Hey.
How you holding up?
Not good.
April's gone.
"Turned into the Hulk and
stepped through the wall" gone?
Like "left town 'cause I'm still
in love with Charlie" gone.
Ah.
So what are you gonna do?
I don't know.
Well, I have a suggestion.
You're a lone wolf
with a rustic new nursery.
Eliza and I need
somewhere to stay,
seeing my intervention
is no more.
So...
Are you even gonna wait
for my answer?
I could,
but how could you say no
to your gorgeous little niece?
Welcome home, Eliza.
Welcome home.
