Daisy, how gorgeous to see you.

Oh, you too, um, I was wondering if I could talk to you about the upcoming showcase.

You'll bring a certain, um, je ne sais quoi to it.

[DAISY] I mean, that woman could ice over the Sahara with just one look.

I met someone. But he's Marissa's son.

- To Oakley.

- [CLANKING]

[TIPPY] You like her.

Don't be ridiculous, Tippy, no.

- Ahh!

- Hi.

[DAISY] But you always do this.

You make a mess of everything,

you break people's hearts

and then you just bugger off again.

[GRIFFIN] You can talk,

I mean, you're so flaky.

You can't commit to anything.

Louis is the last person on

earth that I would be with.

[SIGHS]

[JACKHAMMER BUZZING]

[VOCALIZATION]

[GRUNTS]

Shut up.

[JACKHAMMER BUZZING]

[KNOCKING]

Morning.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Wow, you don't muck about.

Ah, well, believe me,

I'd love to stay but,

I want to get back before

everyone else gets up.

And I wouldn't want to start

any scandalous rumours.

You gotta admit, this secret

fling business is kind of fun.

Mmm, yes.

[BOTH MOAN]

- Well, there you go, gorgeous.

- Mm, thanks.

Um, is this a bit silly?

I mean, do you think we need to

keep it private, private?

Oh, ah, you were the one who

wanted to keep it a secret.

Yeah, I know, it's just,

well, I didn't think

that people would understand and

your parents are still upset

with us not selling,

and I didn't want to get ahead

of ourselves.

But people are gonna have to

know sometime, right?

Yeah, I guess I hadn't really,

thought that far ahead.

No, neither have I,

but, maybe we should,

think about, you know,

coming out, so to speak.

Yeah, no, we, ah, yeah, we should, um,

we should definitely think about that.

Oh, okay. Okay?

Very okay.

Great.

Uh-hmm, uh-hmm. Okay, bye.

- [CHUCKLES]

- Bye.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[SAW WHIRRING]

[GROANS]

[WHIRRING CONTINUES]

Ah, hah, ah, Gus.

Hi, uh, what, what, what's this?

- It's a surprise.

- Yeah, no, I'm very surprised.

- What's going on?

- Hey, you look nice.

Oh, thanks, yes, I, um, had a meeting.

Just got back actually, I mean,

who schedules a meeting

for five a.m., am I right?

But th Um, well,

this, whatever this is,

is this gonna be done in time?

It seems very unfinished.

Ah, well, it's a pergola.

Well, it's gonna be.

Right, ah, okay, Gus, I-I'm

trying very hard not to panic,

so, ah, and I'm sure that

there's a, a terrific plan,

I just really need to hear it,

so let's have a group debrief

in about half an hour,

how's that? Where's Tippy?

Um

[DAISY] Tippy.

Meeting. Half an hour.

[THE EAST POINTERS SINGING

Let us see if you let it be

Set it free and if it

leaves we say goodbye ♪

Web we weave and then we grieve ♪

And then we cry ♪

I want to tell you before I forget ♪

Wintergreen I love you more

than anything ♪

Wintergreen despite the darkness ♪

Some of these days ♪

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ♪

Oh, Gus, can you go

and find Tippy, please.

- I'm here.

- Ah, right.

Okay, so, there's only a few

things left to do showcase wise.

Um, but, the main priority

is fixing up the tasting room entrance.

Well, sometimes you have a vision

and sometimes that vision isn't visible

until it's not a vision,

you know, it's a thing.

It's like the Taj Mahal.

You know, probably looked

pretty rubbish until it didn't.

- Right. Louis.

- Yes.

Ah, if you could get the trailer

and pick up the furniture

that would be amazing, and,

Tippy, you're on the planting

around the signage and the tasting room.

And, and what are you going to be doing?

I don't imagine

this is your odd job outfit.

Oh, no, she's been to a meeting.

Oh, has she? My, that's,

that's an early start.

Well, if you must know I will be

finishing the marketing,

and helping Tippy with her speech.

What?

As our award-winning winemaker

you are going to be front and centre.

Ah, Louis should do the speeches.

He likes to hear himself talk.

Come on, Tippy,

imagine this is the launch

of the September issue

and you're Anna Wintour.

- Who?

- Editor of Vogue?

I'm clearly not.

And I have to do something.

Today. Now.

[DAISY GROANS]

[CAR ENGINE RUMBLES]

Tippy? Oh, Tippy.

Look, I know you're busy

leading up to the harvest,

but can't you do the planting first?

I-I could write the speech,

you do the planting and then,

and then I can help you

with whatever it is.

I don't need your help.

And this is more important

than planting,

it's more important than anything.

Oh, Marissa, hi.

Oh, that all sounds rather serious.

Nothing that can't be resolved

before the showcase dinner, I hope?

Oh, no, no, we're on schedule.

Ahead of schedule, actually.

Love what you're doing

with the place, very bold.

I've just seen the tasting

room, almost unrecognizable.

Thanks. So, lovely of you

to drop by this early.

Oh, well, I wanted to show

you my new label,

and to tell you that Oakley is seventh

on the showcase tour,

right after Rain Shadow Wines.

Oh, lucky number seven.

And right before Shimmering

Lake's exclusive gala dinner.

No pressure then.

Look, if you did want to withdraw

nobody would judge you.

Everyone knows the challenges

that Oakley's facing.

Oh, that's very considerate

of you, but no, no,

we're good to go, a-and how

often does a little vineyard

like Oakley get to be in the company of

such a prestigious vineyard

like Shimmering Lakes.

Ah, well, true.

And look at this new label.

I-is that a bat?

No, that's a hawk.

Oh, see, just in this light,

it looks like a bat in flight.

Funny, anyway, thanks so

much for dropping by,

I'll go and tell everyone

the great news.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Well, the pressure is really on

now, we've been positioned

Well, when was the last time

anyone saw him?

W-what did the police say?

Just, j-just let me know as soon

as you have anything.

All right. I'll be on the next plane.

Christ, it's Julian. He's gone missing.

Um, he's supposed to be staying

at a friend's house,

but no one's seen him for

over 48 hours, I mean.

God, what did the police say?

Oh, bugger all, they've been

checking out

with his school friends,

anyone who knows him.

- Surely his mum would have

- Yeah, you would have thought.

You know, I just, I just

wanna get over there,

I mean, I could get on a,

a flight to Sydney

and get, and get one from there.

Yeah, o-okay, just, just

breathe. How can I help?

[DEEP BREATHES] I, I don't know.

Right, well, I'll, I'll call

my travel agent Rochelle

and she'll get you

on the quickest flight.

- Okay.

- You just keep packing.

Okay, Daisy. Thank you.

So any problems, just give

me a ring, or, or email.

H-have you got my email? A-and

any hiccups with the showcase

Oh, let's stuff the showcase.

This is far more important.

We'll be fine.

Okay.

- What's that?

- [CAR ENGINE RUMBLES]

[UPBEAT MUSIC ON STEREO]

Hi, dad.

Julian. Julian, what are you doing?

What are you doing, you silly

boy! Thank God you're all right.

Your mother and I

have been worried sick.

Oh, I know, I'm sorry.

I just wanted to see you.

[EXHALES]

You.

How are you involved in all of this?

I want to know how Julian came to be

Will you turn that music down?

Sorry, didn't get you.

I want to talk to your parents

right now. Turn that music off.

Sorry, gotta jam. Catch you

later, J-Dog. See you, Willy.

- [REVVING]

- Don't call me that! Rowan!

[LOUIS] Yes, he's fine.

He's seemingly unharmed.

Well, I don't know yet, do I?

Your mother wants to know

how you got a plane ticket.

I took her card and bought it online.

Right. Using your credit card,

apparently.

You hungry? I've got some lovely

pate and cheese.

- [JULIAN] Yes, please.

- No, no, no, no.

No snacks until we've got some answers.

[JULIAN SIGHS]

[LOUIS] J, how the hell did you

manage to get to the airport,

get on a plane without an adult?

- You're only 11 years old.

- [JULIAN] I'm 12.

That's, that's, that's not the point.

And I did have an adult. Dagmara.

Who the hell is Dagmara?

[JULIAN] Thomas' Polish nanny.

I convinced her

to take me to the airport.

I may have lied about where I was going,

and I may have taken

advantage of the fact

that English is her fourth language.

Right, look, I'll call you back,

the plot has thickened somewhat,

we may need to be taking action

against someone called Dagmara.

No, no, you can't.

Look, I'll put him on a

plane in a day or two.

All right? Yep. Bye.

[JULIAN] I don't want to go home.

That's too bad.

Your mother's been frantic.

- I'm not going home.

- J, look.

All right, we'll, we'll

discuss it, all right?

But after you've had a shower.

[CLANKING]

Uh. I need your help.

Ah, sorry, Tip, I've just

got to clean up the mess

I've made and I've got to move this.

I get that everything has to look good,

but if we're showcasing Oakley,

how are flowers and pergolas

more important than the future

of the vineyard?

What happened?

I messed up. We messed up.

You can't tell anyone.

[GUS] Okay.

- So, Stanley d*ed.

- Yeah, I know.

And then the funeral,

and then all the legal stuff,

and then Daisy and Louis.

I feel like I was there for that.

We didn't dig up the horns.

So you'll help me, right?

I've got no idea where

Stanley buried them.

He did them in the middle of the night

when he was totally pissed.

The thing is like I can't really

do two things at once.

I mean, can we, can we wait

until after the showcase?

[TIPPY] No. I need to dig them up today.

Okay, I'll, I'll help you

as soon as I'm done.

Why did you even start all of this?

No, just Forget it.

I'll find it myself.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I'm sorry, Tip.

[PHONE CHIMES]

- Hello, lovely.

- Hi. Thanks for doing this.

Well, I've never been one to

turn down a lady in distress.

Though I must confess,

it did cross my mind that

"help me pick up furniture"

may have been code?

Ah, I'm afraid not. Oh, they've

left the, left the door open.

Oh, welcome to the country.

This must be it. It is.

So, how's the, uh, how's the

gala dinner shaping up?

Oh, impressively, as far as I know.

So should I be dusting off my tiara?

Or will a nice, casual heel suffice?

I mean, I literally have

no idea what to expect.

Well, expect epic.

Yeah, last year mum had ice sculptures,

and a twenty-piece orchestra.

- Wow.

- Yeah, she lives for this event.

- Highlight of her year.

- Right.

[DAISY] So, um, what's the

showstopper this year?

Ah, well, I've heard whispers

about gold leaf

something or other, but, uh, the

rest I've been sworn to secrecy.

Oh. Yeah, but you can, you can trust me.

- What? I do.

- But?

Mum would k*ll me if word got out.

Oh, oh, I get it. Family comes first.

Introducing, Reasons I Should

Stay in NZ with Dad.

Kiwi, obviously. Number one.

I didn't spend enough time

with dad last time.

Next, I like being at Oakley,

because Gus,

Tippy, Rowan and Paige are here.

As you can see, here is a whole list

of activities that we could do.

Fishing, hunting, eating ice cream,

camping, karaoke, looking at

puppies at the dogs home,

Well, you get the general idea.

Very impressive, J.

I genuinely would love you to stay,

but I don't think your mother

would like it at all.

Doubt she'd even notice.

Of course she'd notice, she

loves you more than anything.

How come she's always away with Horst?

What do you mean, always away?

I was at Thomas' because

they were in Italy.

Italy?

That's how I convinced Dagmara

to take me to the airport.

I told her I was

meeting mum in Florence.

In Florence?

Of course I'm reacting like a lunatic,

you abandoned our child!

And the people you left him with

couldn't even get hold of you

because you were on a dirty,

bloody weekend,

with bloody Horst.

In bloody Florence.

I mean, how, how dare you!

It was our destination.

Look, Simone,

I-I-I don't care what you do,

but I do care when you neglect

our child, all right?

There is no way in hell

I'm sending him back to London.

He deserves to stay here where someone's

at least trying to parent properly.

Oh, and another thing.

When I said the affair

was partly my fault,

I lied to be nice. Bye!

Wrong number.

So, uh, good news, J.

You're staying here, so pick one thing

off your list, anything you like.

Hunting. Rowan says sh**ting

rabbits is mean as.

S-sh**ting, actual sh**ting rabbits?

Okay, well, there's a couple

of things I've got to do

here first, but, oh,

no, no, no, no, bugger it.

sh**ting rabbits it is. Great.

Can't wait, can't wait to sh**t rabbits.

Oh, sh*t.

- You all right?

- Ah.

- Hey.

- It doesn't even bloody match.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Yes, it does, I just want Oakley

to be perfect.

Is that too much to ask?

I think it's gonna look amazing.

Is it?

I mean, if I don't pull

off this showcase,

everyone's gonna laugh at me.

No, they're not.

Yes, they are.

I'll just confirm what

everyone's thinking, that I'm,

I'm some flaky party girl from Sydney

who can't commit to anything

because there's always

something new and shiny to play with.

Babe. Nobody thinks that.

Some people do.

You're just stressed out.

Okay, but you've got this.

And by the way, I don't think

you're a flake.

If people can't see how driven,

creative and hardworking

you are, stuff 'em.

Well, I do like shiny new things though.

Yeah, and why wouldn't you?

Oh. People might see.

I don't care.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[JULIAN] Gus!

Julian!

What are you doing here?

[GUS GRUNTING]

You're crushing me.

Gus, what's, what's Tippy doing?

I thought she was on showcase duties?

[GUS] Oh, uh, she's looking

for something.

[LOUIS] What's she looking for?

A necklace?

Oh. Ah, Gus. Julian's really

keen t-to go rabbit hunting.

Um, but I-I'm guessing

Oakley doesn't have any g*ns.

Oh, nah, yeah, we, we do have one.

I mean, all vineyards

need, ah, need a g*n

to deal with the rabbits.

Oh, great, great.

But I-I'm guessing

we'd need a license, right?

The young fella would need

to be with someone

with a g*n license. Yeah.

Oh, mate, I'm sorry, such a shame.

[GUS] Oh, well,

no, Don will sort you out,

he's got heaps of g*ns, and a license.

Ah, no. No, no, no, no. No, I

wouldn't want to bother him.

Nah, he loves hunting.

Yeah, he, he'll help you.

And, um, Nic and Vic,

they're both well into it.

I'd bet you they'd love to join.

Well, it was supposed to be a

kind of father and son

Then can I ask Rowan as well?

Oh, oh, wait, no, it should be

just us. That was the point.

No, no, no, of course you can

ask Rowan as well, honestly.

The more the merrier.

More, more, more the merrier.

- Everything okay?

- Of course, yeah.

Yeah, I'm just trying

to find the right line,

don't wanna bump the

furniture around too much.

What's the matter?

You're not nervous about

being seen with me, are you?

- No.

- Oh.

But?

- I should tell my parents.

- Oh.

I just want them to hear it from me,

rather than the local rumour mill.

That's, that's sweet, and fair.

- I'll tell them later on today.

- Oh, great.

In the meantime, I doubt you

helping me unload a trailer

will set too many tongues wagging, so.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[GRUNTING]

Hey, what do you think?

It looks good.

Hello.

Daisy just needed some

help with the furniture,

so I'm just, I'm helping her with that.

With the furniture for the showcase.

I'm, I'm Louis.

Ben. From The Church.

Oh, the wine bar not the

institution, I take it?

[CHUCKLES] Oh, God, no. No, no, no, no.

No. No. Well, that's, that's splendid.

Um

Anyway, I should, uh, should get

back to the, the furniture.

Oh, he seems like a nice,

a nice young man.

Oh, yes, he's, um, yes, he's,

he's very, he's very helpful.

Dad's taking me rabbit hunting.

Ew! Oh, I, I thought we were

all pitching in together

to knock off the last of the stuff.

Yeah, you're right actu

Mate, Daisy's right,

I-I think we're probably gonna

have to postpone it.

But Rowan's gone to get

his weapons, so has Vic.

Oh, well. If it doesn't take

all day I'm sure it'll be fine.

Oh, thanks, Daisy.

You, you didn't have to say yes.

No, you gotta get some time in.

I mean daylight lasts forever

these days and

as long as you're back by this

afternoon to What's wrong?

Ah, I don't want to go rabbit hunting.

I've got a thing, I was very,

very scarred by Watership Down

and, um, if I see a dead rabbit,

with its glassy eyes.

Well, then why on earth did you say yes?

Because I've already

screwed him up for life

and he's only 11. Twelve. He's 12.

We need to bond.

Julian ran away to be with you, Louis.

I think you're doing okay.

[DAISY CHUCKLES]

Okay. Last one?

[BEN] Yup.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Ah, Rowan. And you're a, a

registered g*n owner, I take it?

Sure. If you like.

And the hunt's assembled. Good one.

Ah, Don, what's, uh, Wanda doing here?

Oh, she's a hunting pig.

But, but what does she do?

She hunts.

Well, here's to a freezer full of meat.

They might be filthy rodents,

but they taste good.

[ROWAN] There's only one way

to cook rabbit.

Freshly skinned and roasted

over an open fire.

Dad. When we get a rabbit,

can we roast it?

You know, on a stick.

Yep, that, that would be lovely.

Okay, k*ller, let's get you

trained up, huh. Come with me.

Oh, it's, um, it's looking good.

[GUS] Yeah.

I'm guessing Tippy's still AWOL?

Don't worry, it's all right.

I already assumed that I'd be

doing the planting myself.

I mean, the horns are important.

[DAISY] The what?

Ah, nothing, no, I mean, um,

there are no horns, we're horn free.

Well, hang Gus.

Seriously, do I want to know?

I think you should probably

just ask Tippy.

- Right.

- [PHONE RINGING]

Oh, bugger, could you grab that?

- What?

- Nothing.

Oh. Sorry.

[GUS] It's fine.

Tell me he didn't break your heart?

Not completely.

Oh. Well, he's a thoughtless,

closeted, fool.

He's a unicorn.

A what?

Sometimes you meet someone

and you think,

they're like no one I've ever met.

A unicorn.

So even as they gallop away

you feel pretty lucky

to have met one at all.

Oh, Gus.

But you guys are still friends, right?

Wait, not because of me?

No. No, no.

No, Griffin has many, many good points,

he's funny and loyal

and naughty, generous.

But he can also be judgmental

and very careless of people's feelings.

Yeah, I see that. But I still miss him.

Me too.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Woah, woah, woah.

Shoulder up, son, like I showed you.

[g*nsh*t]

He was getting away. First k*ll

of the day, let's check it out.

[NIC AND DON CHUCKLING]

Its guts are out.

One down, more to go.

[DON] Well, listen up.

I think we'll have better luck

if we, uh,

we split up, yeah.

Ah, I'll go with dad.

Uh, we'll take Louis and Julian.

We'll blood you on your first k*ll, eh?

Rowan, you're with me, mate.

[NIC] Hmm. Come on.

In with anger, out with love.

[DAISY] Um, Tippy?

- Look, are you all right?

- I'm fine.

Well, I don't mean to be

banging on about it,

but I just don't understand

why you seem intent on

digging up half the vineyard.

What's going on?

We practice biodynamic wine making.

Oh, we do?

In the autumn, we bury cow horns

filled with manure in the vineyard.

The cosmic energy of the sun and

the rain seeps into the manure

inside the horns, and when it's

solstice, we dig them up,

we mix the manure in a barrel by hand

and then we spray that mix on

the vines to enrich the soil

and keep everything in balance.

Right. Well, it's, it's not

solstice though, is it?

I didn't dig them up.

Stanley d*ed right before

we usually do it,

and I forgot.

It's my fault.

Well, but if it's waited this long

If we're not gonna honour

Stanley's memory,

there isn't gonna be a vineyard

worth bloody showcasing.

But he made terrible wine.

Everything that's special about

Oakley is down to him.

So he didn't make it Instagramiable,

but he poured his life and soul

into it, why don't you get that?

Okay, well. Uh, maybe I can help.

I don't know where the horns are.

That's the point, he never told me.

Oh.

Well, we'll just have to

find them then, won't we?

Yeah.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Hey, I was thinking that maybe

Vic and I should head

into the trees and try

and flush some rabbits out

for you guys, so you can,

you know get them.

Brilliant idea. Brilliant idea.

Ah, you guys, um, watch out for rabbits

and don't sh**t that way.

- Hmm.

- Right.

This won't take long.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

There's nothing here.

Oh, no, no, keep looking.

I just found a 200 quid receipt

from Harrods,

nineteen ninety-nine,

for clotted cream fudge.

If you're afraid of butter

- Use cream.

- Use cream.

Oh, he used to say that all the time.

[TIPPY] Daisy?

Sorry.

What happened between you and Stanley?

Why didn't you keep in touch?

You know it really upset him,

thought of you as his daughter.

When my mother got cancer,

they said there was nothing

they could do, really.

She could have had chemo,

which would have given her

a few more years.

Without it a few months.

She didn't want the treatment,

even though I begged her to get it.

And I asked Stanley to make her and

he wouldn't. He said it was her choice.

So he was doing what she wanted?

It wasn't what I wanted.

I wanted my mum around for longer

and he could have

convinced her, and he didn't.

And I hated him for it.

Anyway, after she d*ed, I, I

stopped talking to him really,

and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Surly, grieving teenager, so

he sent me away to boarding school.

And we just kind of fell into

Gift baskets.

Yeah.

Anyway, hah, enough of that, um,

I think you're right, I don't

think the answer's here, so

why don't we just go back out

and find these horns,

and just, um, start at the beginning.

Yeah.

[MELLOW MUSIC]

So, J, you know you don't

actually have to sh**t anything,

just, ah, as long as

you try your best, yeah?

No, don't worry, I'm totally

gonna give it my best sh*t.

[LAUGHS] We'll, uh, we'll show

'em how it's done. Right?

Yeah.

[RUSTLING]

Go on then.

[SIGHS]

J, what's the matter?

I don't want to k*ll a rabbit.

Thank God. Nor do I.

When I saw that poor rabbit I thought

I was going to lose my lunch.

Oh, mate, come here. [LAUGHS]

Rowan's gonna think I'm pathetic.

No, he's not.

I got a plan.

[g*nsh*t]

That's you winging the rabbit.

[g*nsh*t]

You fired again,

but the bloody thing got away.

[BIRD SQUAWKING]

Oh. Oh, God.

[MARISSA] Well, the red carpet

has arrived.

And?

And our very famous, special

guest has almost confirmed.

[LAUGHS] It's gonna be the most

talked about showcase yet.

[CLANKING]

Yeah, I, I was talking with

Daisy from Oakley, earlier.

Oh, poor Oakley. Oh, completely

out of their depth.

Well, actually, Daisy's a lot

more switched on,

than you might think.

Well, you must know something

that I don't?

She might surprise you.

She's actually really

smart and determined

hardly some flake who can't

commit to anything.

I don't think I ever said that.

No, I know, I know, she just worries

that's what people think about her.

Well, you have been having

some in depth chats.

Yeah, we have.

Actually, and I, um,

I just-I just-I just don't think that

you should under, underestimate her.

Anything else you wanna tell me?

Nope.

Um, so, tell me about Stanley.

I mean, what he was like here.

T-there's so much I don't know.

He used to sing to the grapes.

- Sing? Ha.

- Yeah.

He had a good voice.

He kept bees for a while.

He got stung all the time.

Thought checking the hives

in his underwear

would make him less

threatening to the bees.

- [CHUCKLES]

- Yeah, I guess not.

There's an image.

[SIGHS]

They're not here.

We're never gonna find them.

Oh. Now, come on.

Okay, so this is roughly where

the horns were last year, right?

Yeah.

But he never told you the pattern?

No, he just seemed to know.

Well, then it's gotta be

something that he remembered.

His birthday?

Nah, I tried that.

I tried my birthday,

Gus' birthday, and yours.

Um, how did you find out my birthday?

Ah, never mind, um,

well, how have you worked it out so far?

Well, I thought that

maybe the birth date relates

to the number of vines

and the rows or

Oh, did you try my mother's birthday?

Well, I don't know

your mother's birthday.

Oh, hang on.

Um, it's

Okay.

Okay.

- All right, let's try it.

- Great.

[TIPPY] Let's check all the paddocks.

All the paddocks? But, ah Oh.

I might need a martini for that. Or ten.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I'm sorry I made you go hunting.

No. I'm sorry I didn't speak up earlier.

Didn't want to disappoint you, again.

You're okay, dad. Really.

Think I might become vegetarian.

Yeah, well, if that's what

you want, I'm fine with it.

Cool.

Can we do something

you want to do tonight?

Not too tired?

Nope.

Go this way.

These are looking good.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Seventeen, 18, 19.

[PANTING]

[DAISY GROANS]

[DAISY GASPS] Oh.

Oh. Yay! Found them.

Oh, that's funny, I thought they'd,

I thought they'd smell more.

Tippy?

These are the last horns

Stanley will ever bury here.

God, they're all dried out.

There's nothing we can do,

Stanley would be so mad.

No, no, he wouldn't. He wouldn't.

Oh, Tippy. You knew him.

Really knew him.

Like a, like a daughter.

And you're a much better one

than I ever was.

So you should know how proud

he'd be of you.

Besides, Stanley couldn't hold a grudge

or why would he put up

with me for so long?

Do you think?

I think.

Well

can't spray anyway. It's too late.

You're supposed to do it

when the moon is just right,

and the vines are just waking up, and

I just thought I could fix things.

Oh. Well, do you know what?

I think the cosmic rays

have worked their magic

everywhere anyway.

And even if they haven't, Stanley has.

Ah. Twice in one day, people will talk.

- They always do.

- [CHUCKLES]

Would you, uh, would you like a drink?

W Oh, no, uh, thank you.

No, I've, I've a few extra tablecloths

that were delivered by mistake

and I wondered

whether you might like them?

For the, for the showcase?

Oh, that's, uh, that's very kind.

They'll always come in handy.

I-I-I'll come and grab them, shall I?

Oh, uh, no, because I haven't, um,

haven't actually got them with me.

I'll, I'll, I'll bring them by.

Great.

Oh, I see you're making poo tea.

It's charming the way you're keeping up

with these quirky traditions.

Well, i-it's a learning curve.

Shows great commitment.

I for one have never believed

that you were flaky.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

I'll drop those tablecloths by.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[PHONE RINGING]

Um, could you come with me,

like, right now?

Something's happened

to the tasting room.

Oh.

Oh, God.

[GASPS] Oh, Gus, you rat-bag!

It looks amazing.

- Oh!

- Thought we should celebrate.

Here we go.

Here's to our visionary driving force.

- Oh

- And to an extra-ordinary day.

Filled with some, uh, challenges

and some surprises.

Told you Louis should do the speeches.

Cheers, everyone.

- Cheers. Cheers.

- Cheers.

[CAT MEWS]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER ON LAPTOP]

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

Yep.

Thought I better make something for you.

Wow. You never bake.

Yeah, well, there's a reason for that.

I'm sorry I didn't help you

with the horns.

Oh, it's all good.

Daisy was actually pretty cool.

Is that?

I don't want to, but can't help it.

[GRIFFIN] You know I must.

I want a better life for us.

A life full of fortune.

I know it was only a couple of days,

but I thought'd be something else.

- Shift over.

- What?

[TIPPY] Shift over.

What kind of friend

would I be if I let you watch

bad TV all by yourself.

He's actually really good.

[SCOFFS] Whatever.

Marry me.

So you see those two

really bright stars.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

They're known as the pointers,

because they point to the

tip of the Southern Cross.

- Mm.

- Mind if I join you?

- Of course not.

- [CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

I'm surprised you're not

out socializing.

I'm not sure my socializing's

any of your business.

- Oh, maybe not.

- [LAUGHS]

So, Ben seems nice.

Yes. He did.

Oh.

We're just locating the Southern Cross.

Oh, well, now that's one constellation

I do know how to find.

So, J, if you imagine a line all

the way up through the cross,

you'll see the constellations

of Carina and Vela.

Oh, I might sit down for a minute.

[CHUCKLES]

You know when I was little

and we had a pet die,

mum would ask me

to choose a star for it,

so every time we looked up at

the sky we could imagine it

watching over us.

I had one for my horse, Holly.

One for Fitz the cat,

and that one just at the top,

the Southern Cross, that's, that's mum.

[LOUIS] It's a very nice choice.

Think it's too late to choose

one for Stanley?

No, we could, uh, we could

choose one together,

perhaps something close to your mum.

- Ah, okay.

- Have a, have a look.

Oh, right. Um

Okay. Oh.

What about the one

just to the left of mum's?

I think that will be one

of the Crucis stars.

Yep, which hereafter

shall be known as

Stanley Basil Oakley.

- [LOUIS] Cheers, Stan.

- [DAISY] Cheers, Stanley.

J, do you want to come

and have a look at the star

we chose for Uncle Stan [LAUGHS]

[DAISY] Well, has been a very long day.

Louis, I, I did want to say

that if I've done anything

or said anything

that's made you feel bad.

No. No.

Okay, good.

- Shall we, uh

- Yes. We should.

- That's for you.

- Thank you.
