[theme music]
[Nathan] Breathing in
[inhales]
letting go.
Planning Let go.
Worrying Let go.
Three days ago I was like,
'Get me out of here.'
[upbeat rock music]
I was on the road
to meet you halfway
A retreat, otherwise known
as 'delaying the inevitable'.
Which is basically that
everything had been going
to sh*t for
[groaning]
Sorry.
[Nathan] Open your heart
to life?
Eh, I'll settle
for a double espresso.
Oh, hell.
Nathan.
Did you know we teach
a walking meditation?
No. Anton, I did not.
Appreciate the information.
Well, there's a couple
of sessions this arvo.
Just turn up.
[Nathan] No judgement.
As in literally, no judgement.
On the other hand
..when was the last time
you had a free holiday?
So
here I am.
Slow right down.
Follow your breath.
Catch your thoughts
and calm the monkey mind.
And then one breath later
[sighs] more self-criticism.
Hey, at least I'm noticing it.
Oh, could that be the point?
Beautiful.
You're an inspiration.
Very Zen.
A couple of days here, might
just be getting the hang of it.
I've just arrived and I'm all
[grumbles and laughs]
Mind is like a washing machine.
Overdue my tune-up.
Ah.
I can highly recommend starting
with the breathing class.
I thought for a moment there
you were going to recommend
a good vintage.
[chuckling] I
I'm Sylvia.
Nathan.
It's nice to meet you.
Oh, this is my third time here.
It's head and shoulders
above the rest.
It's all very new to me.
Well, you've chosen
the right place.
And whatever you're doing,
Nathan, it is working.
[laughs]
So far, so good.
[Nathan] Being in the moment.
Acceptance opens up
possibilities.
Avoidance closes them down.
- Hello.
- Oh!
- Oh, sorry.
- Oh, I was miles away.
Just checking
if you need anything.
If Dave needs anything?
Dave?
Ah well, Dave's
back at work today.
No, how can he work?
He's supervising Paddo,
'Just a half-day to start.'
I thought the doctor said rest?
Well no, he had a rest.
Yesterday.
I mean, he's got one
wrist intact, who needs two?
Dave I can
Got it.
I'm alright, I'm alright.
It's OK.
[shouts] I'm alright.
I could be forgiven
for wondering
why I rushed back up here.
You know there's
special wrist braces
for motocross riders?
I mean, even teenagers
wear them apparently.
- Oh, but not Dave.
- [chuckles]
That's men for you, I guess.
I'm sure he appreciates you
being back. He missed you.
Has he? I'm not so sure.
Do you want that?
Nah.
Why on earth I stored
all this stuff who would know.
As you can see
I'm in a bit of a mood.
Time for a walk,
if you feel like it?
I just want to get rid
of all this stuff.
OK well, don't toss these.
Look, sourdough.
Fresh from the oven.
- Oh, thank you.
- Sure you don't need a hand?
- No, I'm fine.
- OK.
[sighs]
[Nathan] Begin to observe
the breath.
And let go of control.
And this gal arrived all
stressed out and shellshocked.
And then there was
the breathing class.
The magic words,
'For the next hour
you'll be lying down.'
All exercise
should be taken prone.
- Whatever way that works.
- You're a sporty spice.
I'm not.
You're in good shape, Nathan.
I'm inspired.
Hmm.
Thanks.
We should all play more,
don't you think?
I always want to go on the swing
when I'm pushing Eddie.
That's what this place
is missing, guest swings.
- Yes.
- Ah, here he is.
- Anton.
- Sylvia.
Lovely to have you back.
Is there anything
I can do for you?
Swings.
We think this place
would benefit
from some swings.
And by that I mean
actual swings.
With silken ropes for you,
Madame.
[laughter]
Some of these places
can be very earnest but
- ..Anton, he's really lovely.
- Yeah.
[gong rings]
Should we have
some lunch together?
Throw ourselves
on the chickpea salad,
drool over the mashed squash.
Get down and dirty
in the quinoa.
Yeah, yeah, why not?
You have a contagious laugh.
And, um,
in answer to your question
I am too.
- Divorced.
- Oh.
Dating and determined
to meet the right bloke.
I should grab your number
before we leave.
Yeah, sure.
May I ask you something?
- Open book.
- Are you
Is this
..are you hitting on me?
No. Sorry.
Of course I am. [chuckles]
Carpe diem. We might just click.
[Nathan] Effortless breathing.
One step at a time.
And when in doubt, exhale.
[exhales]
I'm alright.
Back in a tick.
I'll just wait here.
- Hi.
- Hey, how'd you go?
Yeah, no swelling.
Cast's a bit itchy
but that's about it.
It's good to get the job done.
Yeah well, I thought we'd have
a nice sit down lunch
for a change.
Tessa's brought some
lovely rolls.
Uh, I might pack them up
and take them, if that's OK?
Oh.
Paddo's going for a ride
and I said I'd go watch.
Not to get back on the horse
but to think about
what it would be like
to get back on the horse.
Or you could try
a different horse.
Just checking to see if
Ah, I'll leave you to it.
- Nice one.
- Hang on.
- Can I do that?
- No.
It's no big deal. It's fine.
- Ruby was crying at school.
- As if.
[girl] Hey, Ruby.
- Check this out.
- Yeah.
- Bye, Ruby.
- See ya.
- Can we get out of here?
- Are they your new friends?
What are their names?
They're called The Great Unwoke.
- Oh, that's awful.
- It's because of Dad.
Your dad's called three times
to say he's sorry.
Until he said it was crap
everyone really liked
my artwork.
But now because
of what he said
Let's just stop
the blame.
They're going,
'It's just a painting
with dog turds
and your dad
thinks you're crap,'
which he actually said.
Do you remember
what Charles told you?
Yeah well, he wasn't there
when they were bullying me.
That's true.
And this is horrible.
But what if we look at it
from another angle?
Like what?
I'm trying to help you.
Go on.
You made a controversial work
and you wanted a reaction
and that's what happened.
Yeah, but not like this.
No, not like this.
It's all because of Dad, not me.
You cried at something
your dad said
but your dad
didn't make you cry.
I think that's just semantics.
I'm sorry?
It's a word. Get over it.
Time to go.
When we get home
I need to go online
and see what the people
who love me are saying.
When we get home I need
to have some ice cream.
[exhales]
[door unlocking]
Hey.
You're early.
Yeah, I thought we should talk.
I've been saying that for days.
Where are the kids?
I'm trying to keep them
out the back.
I guess you haven't seen this.
Who does this?
Bloody hell, where do these
dickheads spring up from?
At least that's something
we agree on.
I should call Mum.
Plus she should know about
Whatever.
You mean my decision.
Your decision, yes.
Are you also
gonna tell your mother
you're refusing
to see a counsellor?
That is full on, Cass?
I've just walked in.
Give me a break.
I need to have some time online.
How about we give Mum a call?
Let me speak to her first, OK?
Eh
Yes, sweetheart,
but I can understand Cassie.
I mean, the physical pressure
of IVF
let alone the emotional
upheaval
Sure.
- And now she wants
to draw a line in the sand.
Yeah. I
Just wanted you to know.
Well, all I can say
is lots of love to you both.
And give Cassie a big hug.
It can't have been
an easy decision.
How's Dad?
- Well, you know your dad,
cracking hardy.
I'll give him a call.
I'll, um, put you onto Rubes.
Hey.
It's Mum.
Thanks.
Hey, Mum.
Hello, sweetheart.
Ben told me someone made
a gif of you with Dad's words.
Totally lame one.
[Julie] Yeah,
but it still hurts, right?
A bit.
I can come straight back down
if you need me.
Oh, no.
You be there with Dad.
How about we do one
of our lists?
OK.
[Julie] Right. Ready?
OK, so we're gonna ignore
what the kids at school said.
Not buy into it.
[Julie] And how about
you spend the weekend
doing some
of your other interests?
Like swimming practise
or sketching.
Maybe go to the library,
get some new novels?
How's the list looking?
Good.
And let's deprive those creeps
of oxygen.
No going online until
I come back down, alright?
- OK.
- Promise?
[sighs] Promise.
[Julie] And how about a nice
get well card for your dad?
He feels so bad
about what he said.
[chuckles] OK.
[startled] Oh.
You start.
All I know is I still want us
to have children.
Nothing has changed for me.
You mean, you want
to have your own children.
We need to stay positive.
[sighs] What?
[grumbles]
Every time I felt life inside me
and felt it die
I know.
Pumping hormones
and clinging
to ever decreasing odds and
I have run out of hope.
Let me hope for both of us.
[typing]
[grunts]
Just tell me what you need.
To at least discuss adoption.
- Look
- Just to discuss it.
That's what I need.
Let's just think about this
later down the track.
Ben You're not listening.
There may be no
later down the track.
What was that dog's name again?
- The one that got run over?
- Wusty.
Wusty.
[keyboard sounds]
[frustrated grunt]
Maybe we can go together
to see a counsellor.
How is a complete stranger
supposed to help us?
Well, we're not getting anywhere
on our own, Ben.
You've changed your password
and I need the new one.
No you don't.
- No computers, Ruby.
- I'm locked out.
Listen, Ruby.
I have to go online.
Listen, you've already had
a rotten day.
Don't make it any worse.
I have to go online
to do my homework.
And scan this card for Dad.
You'll get in trouble from Mum.
She wants me to.
Ruby.
- Ruby. Ruby, stop.
- Ruby
- Ruby!
- Stop, stop.
Where you going, sweetie?
I don't know.
Oh, honey.
Look
I'll take a photo of the card
and we'll get it off
to your dad, OK?
Come back inside.
No one's going online,
not even us.
Fine.
- [sighs]
- It's OK.
[Dave] Ah, good on ya, Rubes.
I sent her a thanks message.
- Hm.
- We're back on track.
Well, you know Ruby,
she gets there in her own time.
Yeah, crisis averted.
Well, bon appetit,
as they say in Wales.
- Lemme just cut that steak
- No, it's OK.
- Looks wonderful.
- Yeah, but
I'm fine.
[weakly] OK.
[TV narrator]
With wind chills reaching
as low as -76 degrees
Fahrenheit,
Emperors huddle together
to preserve warmth.
Taking turns to move into
the group's
relatively toasty interior.
Then moving back
to the perimeter.
So others can enjoy protection
from the icy elements.
[Nathan] First,
tell the truth to yourself.
[Julie, weakly] OK.
[Nathan] Imagine your
six-year-old self
sitting with you.
And what would they want you
to do right now?
Good morning.
Deep in thought?
Yeah, just the er
Dusting out the cobwebs.
The six-year-old self exercise.
Indeed.
I, ah,
I hope I didn't overshare
at dinner last night.
It was interesting.
You're interesting.
I just wasn't sure if you
I'm not sure
how to put this.
What would you say if you did?
[laughs]
You did leave rather suddenly.
You're a very attractive woman.
Very. And I've really
enjoyed your company.
But in case you
I'm just not looking for anyone
right now, romantically.
My priority
should be Eddie and
..I'm not ready
to be dating anyone.
Anyone.
And I'm OK with that.
Good for your gorgeous boy.
Hey.
Aw, he really is.
But monastic for you.
It's a choice I've made
without quite realising.
Until now.
Well, even more reason to change
to a job you actually enjoy.
[laughs]
Easier said than done.
Life can be very lonely.
Yeah but you don't deserve
to be lonely.
There'll be someone
out there for you.
Come on. Why wouldn't there be?
Guess I should probably consult
my six-year-old self.
She was a pretty wise cookie.
I bet she was.
[keyboard sounds]
Eugh!
Do you know Grandma's password?
Mum's? Of course.
Why don't you just use hers?
Because this isn't her computer.
What do you mean?
She left it here, I saw.
- Keep an eye out for Cassie.
- I will.
That's not fair.

Carbo's here, he's gonna

[knocking]
Come on, please.
Do not disturb.
[groans]
And when you put the coin
in your pocket
you make the audience
look somewhere else.
Will I show Ben and Cassie?
I just want you
to try
They're busy. Keep practising.
OK.
Why're you making
such a big deal of this?
Fine, Ben. I'll go by myself.
Can't we just enjoy
Carbo being here?
[Carbo] Keep looking me
in the eye.
You don't want to rush it.
Then you divert my attention
[Ben] Look, I said I'd go
so I'm going, alright?
- Hello, Carbo.
- Rubes.
Rubes, watch me.
Coin, and what's over there?
Keep practising.
OK.
[whispering] I'm doing
my best painting ever.
[whispering] Is that right?
Hey, um, wanna take me
to the art market tomorrow?
An exclusive launch
for Get Carbonated.
Well if it's OK
with Ben and Cassie.
[Ruby] They're going
to a doctor's appointment.
They'll need someone to mind us.
Don't mention the painting.
- I'm saving it for your fans.
- Ah, gotcha.
They'll love it.
Hey, have you ever thought
of doing ventriloquism?
- It's seriously coming back.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Wow.
- [Julie] Dave?
- Out here.
Do you mind turning out
the kitchen light?
Uh, you can join us if you want.
[door slams]
Hey, mate.
You gotta keep looking up.
International Space Station's
due soon.
Is it?
Hang on a tick.
No point
in making things hard
..when they can be easy.
Ah, there you go.
The Milky Way.
Yeah well, that's
what your mob call it.
You know what
us blackfellas call it?
No, I should know.
The Great Emu.
But don't look at the stars.
It's the dark spaces
in between them.
Right.
- You see the southern cross?
- Yep.
[Paddo] There's a dark spot
just underneath it.
That's the head.
And then the neck goes
through the two pointers
and the body
goes right across.
And right now the brightest part
is underneath its legs.
When we see it like this
that's when we go
and get the emu eggs.
And some months it's running,
sometimes you can't even
see the legs.
The harder you look
the more you see.
Only if you know
what you're looking for.
Like most things, eh.
It's none of my business,
but if you're pleased
Julie's back,
you should, you should say it.
You know, if she wasn't here
I'd have to manage.
It's just the way it'd be.
Ah, Zen man.
All that for the weekend?
You're a heavy traveller,
Sylvia.
Just my laptop and that's it.
I'm glad
you enjoyed it here, Nathan.
Who could beat
walking on hot coals
and sleeping on a bed of nails?
Well, Jeremy enjoyed
meeting you.
Might be more hot coals
sooner than you think.
So that's his bag
and you two are
I had a kick in the shin
from a certain six-year-old.
Mr. Right's been here all along.
I've just been so busy
turbo flirting
It's too much.
Sorry. Again.
Actually, it was something that
I'd been doing myself
and I hadn't realised so
Thank you.
All for the good.
Congratulations.
- Phone's back on.
- Alright.
One, two, three.
[phone chimes]
[over phone] This is
Dave Rafter, leave a message.
Dad, thank you so much
for the stay, it was great.
But I'm gonna have
to head straight back.
The building crisis
has come to a head
so please tell Mum
I will call her later.
OK, Cheers. Bye.
[Nathan] So here goes.
Heading back to face the music.
Let's see if anything I learnt
back there's rubbed off.
About six months
after we were married
All of our focus became
about having children.
Not all of it.
After the first six
months it did.
[Ben] We both said that
we'd everything we could
to have a baby.
A family of our own.
I always said
I might have problems.
Why did you think that?
Cassie thought it might
be psychological.
Because?
In my family
You don't have to go there.
I had controlling parents.
Who manipulated me
into a marriage
to a controlling husband.
It was a difficult time.
[Cassie] I had to divorce him
to come down from Queensland
to finish my degree.
My, my first round
of IVF failed with him.
The, erm
The suffocation, I thought.
That's not how it is with us.
It's what it feels like now.
It's like I'm the subject
of some huge
mathematical problem
that fills a whiteboard
just waiting to be solved.
[exhales deeply]
I'm the obstacle.
I don't think Ben has any idea
how unhappy I am.
[Charmaine] OK.
It does seem that Ben's hearing
some of this for the first time.
So let me ask you first, Cassie,
how responsible you feel
for where you both are now?
[Carbo] OK,
let's Get Carbonated.
It's an arty-farty day for us
again here
and we're with Ruby Rafter
ready to unveil her latest opus,
here at the salon
of Mr. Charles Whiteman.
[clears throat]
[Carbo] Over to you, Rubes.
I just want you to know
that every one of the words
you'll see on my painting
is what trolls out there
have been saying about me.
But what they don't get
is there are millions of kids
around the world right now
making a difference.
You know who you are.
Demanding the adults in charge
act for change
or step aside for us.
Hope you guys are ready.
And you trolls
should be ashamed.
[crowd gasping]
Crikey!
- OK, we've cut.
- Oh, my dear aunt.
My dear.
[Ruby] All said about me online.
Lots of artists
paint with words.
Christopher Wool comes to mind.
'Sell the house. Sell the car.
Sell the kids.'
Sell the kids
is pretty subversive.
I think you've taken the cake.
Rubes, what have ya done?
Can you check
if we're already viral?
Er
Oh, sh
I'm hanging up now.
No comment. No comment.
[firmly] No comment.
What's going on?
It's just some trashy tabloid
journalist implying that Ruby
Carbo, put Ruby on the phone.
She's back at Ben
and Cass', Mrs Rafter.
Now you listen to me.
- I didn't know
what the painting was.
On my Yaya's grave.
Well, why didn't you ask
to see it
before you revealed it
to the world?
She wouldn't show it to me.
How old are you, Carbo?
She hoodwinked me.
Grow up!
Hope you guys are ready.
And you trolls
should be ashamed.
- Bloody hell.
- [sighs]
Did she paint this?
She was just copying
what the trolls said.
It gets worse and worse.
It was why the journalist
was calling.
'Are we aware of the obscenities
in our daughter's latest work?'
Perish the thought they focus
on the bullying.
If this has been going on for
days, why didn't you tell me?
Well, you haven't been
very easy to talk to, Dave.
There's a problem with our
daughter
and you keep me outta
the loop?
Yeah, well, I thought I had it
under control.
And Ruby seemed
fine.
I could see something like this
coming a mile off.
Oh, well if you could see it
coming a mile off
why didn't you
do something about it?
[ringing]
Oh, this is bad.
Look, the quickest way
to return to normality
is I bring Ruby back here.
She needs her dad.
She needs stability,
she needs her friends.
You'd be coming too?
Well, obviously.
Well, she should come home
sure, great
but what does that mean
for you and me?
I thought you'd be happy.
You don't have to come home
if you don't want to.
- Ruby needs me, Dave.
- Well, she needed me too
but you took her to the city.
She'd be safe here with me.
You stay there longer
if you have to.
God, you're doing my head in.
Don't you think you've
been doing mine in for weeks?
Think about it.
There's no way
I won't be here for Ruby.
So you either both stay there
or you both come back.
And what does that mean for us?
[sighs]
Tessa. You ready for that walk?
You know, at first I thought
he was just embarrassed
that he'd had the accident.
Trying to pretend
that he didn't need my help.
But then I started thinking,
is he,
is he trying to drive me away?
I'm sure that's not the case.
No, what it is
is he's testing me.
He doesn't want me at back here
out of duty or pity.
And I'd feel
exactly the same, you know?
He needs me to sort out this
This gremlin inside.
Not just paper over the cracks.
And we both know
what that might lead to.
Oh Julie, OK.
You're not gonna like this.
But it just makes me so furious.
What?
You're gonna risk all that
love.
You know, that deep love
built on over all these years
that people would k*ll to have
and you might just
turn your back on.
OK, don't lecture me, Tess.
Well, I'm not just gonna
tell you what you want to hear.
Well, I'm not asking you to.
OK, fine. Well, one night
when you were away
I watched TV with Dave.
Now, we shared a bottle of wine.
Well, good.
You don't even care
that I might've done something.
I know you wouldn't.
Well if Dave had asked, who
knows.
Well, he wouldn't.
Well, thanks very much.
No, you know what I mean.
He wouldn't risk our marriage
like that.
If you are, why wouldn't he?
I mean, he's just a man
he's not a saint.
He's not gonna
stick around forever.
Yeah, OK, that's enough.
Think about it.

[making funny noises]
[TV announcer] Meanwhile,
the devastated residents
of Affaron Heights held
a meeting today in the CBD.
Where residents expressed
their frustration
at a lack
of adequate information
Is it about our building, Dad?
Mm.
There's nothing
to worry about, mate. OK?
OK.
You want to go outside and play
and I'll be right out?
- Alright.
- Alrighty.
[Ruby] Edward, hurry up!
I'm coming, Ruby.
[TV announcer] Distressed
residents learnt today
that they're in for a
complicated
and possibly lengthy
legal battle
between the Strata Committee,
the builders
and state government.
No timeline has been set
for residents to return
to their apartments.
[car door closing outside]
Cassie's back.
I better give her a hand.
Here, sweetie.
- Thanks.
- You sure?
Of course.
Nuestra casa es su casa.
Really?
Of course.
Oh, thank you,
thank you both so much.
What does it mean?
It means
That you keep staying here too.
Yay! Can we? Please, please?
Of course you can.
[Edward] Yay, yay! Yay, yay,
yay! Everybody's going to stay!
Come on. Homemade banana cake
and ice cream.
Daddy will get the plates.
Come on.
Yay!
- Hey, Cassie?
- Yes, Ruby?
What is your password
by the way?
Sretfar.
S-R-E-T
Rafters backwards?
Anyone'll guess that in one go.
Hm. You do know
what you just said.
Oh, yeah.
[laughs]
Come.
[Carbo] These were
a big investment.
[Charles] You seem rather
more worried about the dog poo
than you do about
our little girl.
That online stuff
is child abuse.
There's Ruby, of course.
Goes without saying.
It's bad.
I could give you some
to sell on the sideline.
They're floaters, my friend.
Or gemstones.
Polished turds, at best.
Reindeer poo for Christmas.
You have the optimism
of an artist, Carbo.
Why thank you, Charles.
And the instincts
of a snake oil salesman.
You know that's not
an actual thing, snake oil.
Concern yourself
with Ruby's peace of mind.
And some empathy for Mrs Rafter.
Here you go, champion.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Now remember, one is for Rubes.
- Remember?
- Yes. Yeah? Alright.
[Edward] Ruby,
come and get your ice cream.
How you feeling
about everything?
I mean, the meeting.
Oh, er,
well, I expected to be gutted
but oddly it's sort of a relief.
How's that?
The legal action's in motion
and for some reason I feel
sort of, freed up.
I'm buried in debt.
And sorry for everyone
struggling but
I dunno, I feel interested
in what's up ahead.
It was all new stuff
at this retreat.
Learning to be
detached from it all.
That's good to hear.
Might be a delayed reaction
Thanks?
- Hmm, we'll check tomorrow.
- Thanks.
[Nathan] Could be as easy as
getting out of your own way.
Making room
to set things straight.
Would you like to sit down?
Uh, I haven't got long, sorry.
At this retreat
..thing, I,
I did some thinking.
And?
If I offended you at all
while I was here,
I'm really sorry.
Nathan, you were
a complete jerk that last night.
Justin, on the other hand
was perfectly charming
and did not deserve
what you served out.
I can't tell you
how angry I was.
I've been a pain
since the day I started.
No argument.
That, that wasn't me.
Like, the real me.
It was my id.
There's plenty of other bits
which are, which are pretty OK.
- Such as?
- I'm essentially a good guy.
I just, I wasn't thinking
straight when I started here.
I did see your building
on the news.
Yikes to you.
Yeah, it'll work out.
No one's died, we've got
a roof over our head.
- I like your attitude.
- So we're good?
Friends, kinda?
Reckon that you could
give us a hand for an hour?
Maybe two?
Yeah, I can do that.
[Nathan] Maybe it was
remembering
to be a Rafter again.
Maybe we all were.
- Hi.
- Hi.
And, Ben,
what about you?
Anything you'd like to say?
Not really, no.
Anything about what
we've been saying
that you might
find difficult to
To share with Cassie?
I just wanna give our parents
what they gave us.
Carry on the Rafter tradition.
But each time
Cassie gets pregnant
she miscarries.
Well, obviously I'm gonna
be there for Cassie
to support her.
She's asking how do you feel.
You're upset
So I want to be strong for you.
Ben.
They were your babies too.
I feel sad.
I feel
very sad.
I'm afraid of saying
the wrong thing and
I feel sad.
[Nathan] It's when you stop
forcing your way
around those corners,
corners start turning
by themselves.
Oh, you mean he resigned?
Jeremy, I had no idea
about any of that.
I'd never been
to a retreat before,
I was just sharing some ideas.
Yeah, I will.
Yeah, I, I certainly will.
Thanks.
Mum. You are not going
to believe this.
I've just been offered a job.
- Here.
- Here where?
Managing the wellness retreat.
What happened
to the bloke I met?
Well, he ran off with a guest.
Yeah, he said it was hard
to keep staff.
Well, Nathan mentioned
to the owner
what he liked about the place,
what he might change and
I mean, it helped
that they know you, obviously.
Local connection.
- So will he take it?
- Well, he sounded keen.
He's even talking about Edward
going to Buradeena Primary.
[phone ringing]
Ah, better answer it this time.
- Observation Earth?
- I'd say so.
- [sighs]
- Hello, darling!
Just a second.
So basically Observation Earth
has dumped me.
I wouldn't put it that way.
But they have.
I just thought you deserved
better than a phone call.
Because you really are
a remarkable girl, Ruby.
Your troll painting, that was
That was very brave.
It was a tactic.
To show the bullies
they hadn't upset me.
Even though they had.
From now on I'm just
going to ignore them.
That's right.
And to ease up on social media.
You're a natural leader, Ruby.
Just like your sister.
Did Rachel tell you
to come and see me?
Yeah, she did.
Excellent.
Rachel's just so lit.
She is.
And so are you.
So, Justin did the best he could
with the deal but
they were always
after more control.
You know, her scheduling,
her clothes.
So she dodged a b*llet.
Good.
[Rachel] Well, I don't know
about that but
I mean, it might've
ironed out her spark.
[Julie] And how are you,
sweetheart?
I've just missed you all so much
since I've been back.
Aww, yeah.
Well, you look after yourself.
Keep us posted.
Yeah, I will. Oh, um
I got a call coming through.
OK, I'm going to take that.
Love you guys, bye!
[Julie] Love you, bye!
[exhales]
I should've kept my mouth shut.
I should've kept Carbo
away from Ruby.
Bugger Observation Earth.
What are we doing, Jules?
Paddo said something to me
the other night
about seeing things
in a different way but
It doesn't matter what way
I look at it I
I don't know.
All I know is that
we are tiptoeing around
a word.
What word?
Divorce.
I know.
And I know
I've got to work this out.
But I'm going to go
back to Sydney,
I'll pack up our stuff
and I'll bring Ruby
back here.
I don't know
what I can promise, Dave.
Except
..having another run
at finding
..Julie Rafter here.

[Nathan] All of us on the move.
It's the only certainty in life.
There will be change.
Acceptance opens up
possibilities.
Staying on the run
closes them down.
The first step to acceptance
is the hardest one.
Telling the truth.
To yourself.
[over phone] You've called
Rachel Rafter,
leave a message
and I'll call you back.
Hi, Rach, it's your dad.
I've come to a serious decision
about your mum.
