LEWIS: That the lot?
Let's get going.

Hang on. Hang on.

What, Louisa's Larder?

Yeah, those places
are turning up everywhere.

Oh, no, no, no. The waiter.
What?

Derek Northcutt.

Who?

What, THE Derek?

All through high school,
that guy made my life a living hell.

I've dreamt of all the things I'd
say to him if I ever saw him again.

Off you go, then.
What?

If you want to take him on,
here's your chance.

What, now? No. No, I...

Go on.

You wouldn't be the emotional
cr*pple we see before us

if it wasn't for him.

OK.

I'm going in, aren't I?

Yes, I think I can do that.

Derek!

Derek Northcutt.

Hey, guys.
Remember me?

Kane. Kane Albert.

We used to go
to high school together.

Right.

'f*g Albert', you used to call him.

Oh! Hey, f*g Albert. (LAUGHS)

It's Kane.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

How you doing? You're looking good.
You've... trimmed up.

Yeah.

Yeah, look, there's something
I want to say to you.

Mm-hm.

So, you're a waiter?

No, no, no.
I'm just keeping my hand in.

I actually own
the whole Louisa franchise.

You're... you're Louisa?

Crazy times.
We launched three years ago.

This is shop number .
It's been going off.

Congrats.

What about you?
What have you been doing?

Oh, he's doing heaps, yeah.
He's, um... he's k*lling it.

Got his own business.
Very successful business.

Mm-hm. Kane's Pies.
You've probably heard of it.

No.

Best pies in Australia.
Voted.

Really?

What kind of pies
are we talking about?

Well, that went OK.

Yep, you really showed him.

What? It's a business opportunity.

What? All the things you said you'd
do to him if you ever caught up...

And instead,
you're baking your bully a pie.

Get in the car, tough guy.

I can't believe you're selling out
to Derek Northcutt, of all people.

I'm not selling out.
I'm selling pies.

Lots of them, hopefully,
once he tries these.

He owns a successful chain
of cafes that need pies,

and we've got four mouths to feed.

Three.

What?

You know how
the foster agency lady said

I didn't have to stay here
if I didn't want to?

Yeah.

Well, I want to live somewhere else.

So only three mouths to feed.

Why is Melody's mum here?

Oh! Zac.
Oh.

And it's Jacob, too.

Um... well, Melody's mummy

had to... deliver a really
important message last night.

Yeah.
Why?

Um... and, you know, when I got here,
I suddenly got so tired...

Didn't I?
Yes.

..that... uh, your dad said,

"Instead of going all the way home,
why don't you have a sleepover?"

A sleepover.

Hey, where's... where's my breakfast?

Are you gonna get my brekkie for me?

(SIGHS)
(CHUCKLES) Good on ya, boys.

Did we get away with that?

Oh, no! I've gotta go.

I've gotta pick the girls up
from their father.

This is nuts.
You should meet my kids - properly.

And I should meet yours.

And maybe, when they
get used to each other,

we can... tell them about us.

Really? Are you ready for this?

Yeah, I am.

Morning, Mr Crabb.

What are you doing here?

I thought we'd seen the back of you.

Oh... oh... you know...

No, I don't know.

Relax, Dad. He slept on the couch.

Shower's free.

Right. Yep.

I'll, uh... Yep. Yep. I'll...

I thought it was over
between you and him.

It was.

And now it's not.

Glad to see you're so happy for us.

Did you know Ryan
stayed here last night?

Was he warm enough?
Mm-hm.

It's a bit late
to be squeamish now, Dad.

I'm the mother of a child.

Remember?

I'm getting dressed.

Yes.

I know that Ryan stayed last night.

That's why I've organised for lunch
for you and me and Phoebe,

so we can have the talk.

What talk's that?

The contraception talk.

(SCOFFS) Yeah.

I think we might have
missed the boat on that one.

Well, it's a pretty short stroll
from the couch up to Phoebe's bed.

So, unless you'd like
grandchild number two,

I suggest it's a subject
we might like to revisit.

Oh.

I've promised Mr Tuck
that I would help

with the class dance number
this morning.

If I'm taking time off for lunch,
you're gonna have to step up.

I don't step.

Guys.

Long time, no see.
No, not really.

Come on. You know you missed me.

What's he talking about?
I don't know.

I'm back. Morning drop-off.

Abi's back at work.

I'm in the harness,
and ready to ride.

Nup, definitely didn't miss him.

Do you think some of the
other kids are bullying Finn?

I don't know.

Calm down, Kane.

Just because you had
Derek Northcutt in your life,

doesn't mean that Finn has.

There's something going on, Lewis.

Finn's decided
he wants to live somewhere else.

What?! Why?!

He was so happy!

Come on, Stel.

TUCK: Ah, Lewis.

I hear I've recruited
you for our dance practice.

Are you helping out too?

(GUY SEBASTIAN'S
'LIKE IT LIKE THAT' PLAYS)

OK, let's try and do it
all the way through this time, OK?

Remember what we practised?

Alright, everyone, soldiers.

And here we go.

One, two, three.

(b*at KICKS IN)
And back, two, three, clap.

One, two, three, clap.

And right, two, three, clap.

One, two, three, clap.

And push. And push.

(MUSIC STOPS)

OK, kids, we're not concentrating,
OK? When we do that right...

Look, Mr Tuck, could I
make a couple of suggestions,

just to give it a little bit more
sort of 'boom', you know?

I'm thinking...
sort of a bit more...

If we go sort of... double-time.

So it's sort of
more of, like, one, two, three.

One, two, three.

Out. Out. Out. Out.

Mmm! And mmm! And mmm! And mmm!

And star wipe. And star wipe.
Mmm.

Star wipe. Star wipe. Star wipe.

Ooh, smash it. Round. Smash it.
OK, yeah, yeah. No, that's...

Yeah. We can try that,
can't we, kids?

(CHILDREN APPLAUD)
Yeah, thank you, Mr Oliver.
That was very impressive.

Just a little something
I threw together.
Great. Great.

Um, hop in two lines, kids,
and we'll get ready to do it again.

Hey, let's hop in our lines.

You're gonna be related.

Sorry, mate?

Lucy and Mr Tuck
are gonna get married.

What?

Uh, Zac, can you just jump back
in the line for me, please?

Lucy and I minded
Zac and Jacob the other day,

and we sort of proposed to
each other, just to amuse the boys.

It was a joke.
How's that funny?

Well, no, it's... it's not really.

I can safely say Lucy and I
won't be getting married.

We're just...
Just what?

..enjoying each other.

I mean, we're enjoying
spending time with each other.

It's pretty casual.
I mean, well, it's not TOO casual.

Obviously... obviously,
there's respect.

There's LOTS of respect.

OK, kids, let's go again, and let's
try the star wipes this time, OK?

Uh, five, six, seven, eight.

(JEM FUSSES)

Why are you so grumpy?
This place is nice.

It doesn't matter.
We're here now.

And we're here because...?

'Cause your father has something
he'd like to discuss with you.

Well, we've BOTH got something
we'd like to discuss with you.

Ooh!

I feel parental advice coming on.

That's so sweet you care.

Well, of course we care.

Is that Kane?

Just head inside. I'll be a second.

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

Oh, you might be more comfortable
doing that in the toilet.

Uh, it's just down the back there,
to the right.

Seriously?
Seriously?

Thanks.
Ugh!

Ugh!

Mate, these are good.

Really?
Yeah.

You're a star.

I can definitely move these.

How many units can you
give me a week? ?

I'll put them
right across the franchise.

That's great.
(LAUGHS)

There's a letter
of agreement here somewhere.

Who would have thought it, eh?

Me and f*g -

no, me and YOU -

in business.

Look, I've asked you nicely,
now I'm insisting -

cover yourself up,
or leave the premises, OK?

Number one - don't speak
to my daughter like that.

And number two -

don't ever embarrass
a breastfeeding mother in public.

Understood?
Hey, hey.

Kane's right -
you're a bully and a knob.

Oh, well, I didn't
say that, exactly.

Gutless.

GEMMA: We're going.

(JEM WAILS)

I'll get that for you.
Thank you. Thank you.

(JEM CONTINUES WAILING)

Ugh!

(JEM SQUEALS)

Sign it, and we're in business.

Is that a boob?
Yeah.

And that is my husband.

Apparently, he's the new face

of the pro-public
breastfeeding campaign.

Phoebe posted it, and it went viral.

Well, we've always known
that Lewis is a breast man.

Mmm. Unlike Kane.

LEWIS: (ON RECORDING)
You're a bully and a knob.

He's sided with the enemy.
Why, what's he done?

KANE:
Well, I didn't say that exactly.

Gutless.

GEMMA: We're going.
DEREK: Thank you.

(SPEAKS INAUDIBLY)

Lewis is lapping this up.

Milking it, so to speak.

He's an inspiration
to nursing mothers across the globe.

Oh, here he is -

the man who thinks all
breastfeeding mothers are lepers.

I didn't say that.

I didn't say anything.

Exactly.

Hey, um... I've got a couple
of new moves for the dance routine.

JUSTIN: Oh, yeah?

Jazz hands... into clap bursts.

You know what?

You've made million pragmatic
business decisions in your life,

to my one.

That's why you own your own house
and I'm renting.

Derek's offering me the break
of my life, and I'm taking it.

I've got principles -
that's the difference.

I stand up to bullies!
(PHONE RINGS)

Ah. Phoebe.

I like your clap bursts.
Oh. Thanks.

Dad! Daddy!

Hey!

Can we go to the park?

No, we're gonna have a play date
with Melody and her mummy.

Oh! Why?
Why?

Because it'll be fun, that's why.
Come on.

(SPEAKS INAUDIBLY)

You and Dimity still, uh...?

Yep, we're still on.

What?

(SINGS UNDER BREATH)
♪ I wanna know

♪ I wanna... ♪

Yeah. Bye.

Kane...
Not now. I can't find Finn.

I know where he is.

Say yes to the breast, ladies.

Thanks for coming down.

Say yes to the breast.

Finn!
Kane.

What are you doing here?
It's a sit-in.

I'm protesting.

I can see that.
It's not appropriate.

Why not?

Well, he skipped school
to be here, for one.

And he's an -year-old boy
at a protest about...

(QUIETLY) ..baring breasts.

Are you sexualising breasts?

No, Phoebe. I'm gay, remember?

Exactly.

I support YOUR rights.

You should support my breasts.
I DO support your breasts.

Alright, it's important
to stay hydrated

when you're breastfeeding, ladies.

Oh, hey, Derek.

Hey, Kane.
I hope you're on track with my pies.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Are you OK with the protesting?

He's trying to bribe us, ladies.

It's not gonna work.

I fully support
these women's right to be heard,

just as I stand by
my right to say

who can come into my cafe
and what they do once they're here.

Why don't you just shut up?!

(CHUCKLES)
Whose kid is this?

Uh, he's mine.

I'm not his kid.

Let me go.

Hey!

Thanks for standing up for me.

You're a really cool little guy.

If only you were years older.

We can give you
a lift home if you want.

Oh, that's OK. I'll walk.

You say you want to leave home,

you're attending
'Yes to the breast' rallies...

Finn, I don't know what you want.

I want to speak to Lewis.

Lewis?

I don't think your dad's
a big fan of mine.

Of course he isn't.

He's a dinosaur.

Dad's never liked anyone
doing anything to his daughters.

Yeah, well,
it felt like it was ,

and he was asking me
what my intentions were.

That's ridiculous.

Why do people feel
they need to label things?

Exactly - we're just two people
going with the flow, who...

Live together.
..sleep together.

Run together.
Do... basically everything together.

That doesn't mean
that we have to be like some...

..old married couple, or something.

Oh, yeah. Who needs labels?

Exactly.

Alright?
Yeah.

Why does he want to talk to me?

I have no idea.

You're sporty.

You're heterosexual.

You're belligerent.

You're narrow-minded.

You're a...

Where's he gone?

(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Yeah.

Hi.

Uh, I've come to return
the comic book you lent me.

Oh, thanks. You didn't have to
make a special trip.

There's something else
I want to run past your dad.

But, anyway...

..thanks.

Loved it. Funny.

So, what did you want
to talk to my dad about?

Oh, for the future.

Not now.

Finn.

You know how you said,
if only I was years older?

In years time, I will be.

OK.

Phoebe's the most
awesome girl in the world.

No argument there.

(CHUCKLES)

We'll have to wait until I'm older.

I know that.

But, Lewis...

..I want your permission
to marry your daughter.

That's the loveliest proposal
anyone's ever had.

Yeah, it's right up there, mate.

I've made a few.

But I don't see how it would work.

I'm , with a baby,
and... you're .

Not forever.

(KNOCKS) Hey.

Door was open, so...

This is Ryan.

Are you her... boyfriend?
No.

Yeah.
Sort of.

OK, mate. Time to go home.

So we thought it'd be great
if we all got together.

Didn't we?
Yeah.

Mr Baynie and I...
Justin.

Justin and I
thought that it might be nice

if you all got to know each other.

Why?
Why? Um...

We thought that you could all...
start playing together...

BOTH: and have fun.

We're not sharing our toys!

Hey, listen, mate...

(SARCASTICALLY) I can't play
with your train set?

Wow! That really sucks!

Uh!

And she's not allowed in our room!

Er!
Ever!

Are you two getting married?

No!

No, mate, we're not getting married.

Dimity and I are... We're...

Special friends.
Yeah.

Yeah, REAL special.

(BAWLS)

Oh, chicken.

Ow!
You're not allowed
to touch my baby sister!

(GROANS)
Zac!

Hey, say you're sorry, mate.
Say sorry.

I'm really sorry about this.
No.

We'll do this some other time.
Really?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, girls.

(ANGIE CONTINUES CRYING)

It's alright. It's alright.

(DOOR CLOSES)

It's OK.

Just because I like Dimity

doesn't mean
I love your mum any less.

I don't want you to marry her.

I'm not marrying her.

Then why is she sleeping
in Mummy's bed?

JUSTIN: This is a nice one -

this is Mummy when she
came back from the hospital...

..with a gorgeous little baby girl,
whose name was Angie.

I remember that day.

Do you?

Nah, you would have been too young.

I remember everything.

What's that one?

That's me and Mummy.

That's me and Mummy being happy.

Mate, about Phoebe...

I'm going to bed.

Finn, the lady from the fostering
agency comes back soon.

I need to know what's going on.

Phoebe was my backup plan. OK?

Now I don't have one.

What? Why do you need a backup plan?

How do I know
you and Tom will stay around?

We're not going anywhere!

So, you DO like it here.

Finn?

I like my mum and dad, too.

And Grandad.

They all left.

We're not leaving.

Is this why you proposed to Phoebe?

Something more permanent?

(SIGHS)

In case of emergency.

There's no emergency.

You like it here.

You like us, we like you.

You do now.

What about next year?

And the year after?

(DOORBELL RINGS)

It sounds like
classic attachment stuff.

That's a good sign -
it means he likes you.

He's got a weird way of showing it.

It is funny, though,
that, out of all people,

he was the one to stand up
to Derek Northcutt.

It's not THAT funny.

How IS Derek?

Still a bully.

A rich one.

Did he, um... ask about me?

No.

Why?
No reason.

Just... you know,
all those times on the bus

when I told him
to stop picking on you.

Are you blushing?

No.

Mmm.
What are you putting in the pies?

You didn't.

You DID!
It only happened to the once!

You and Derek Northcutt?!

How?! When?! WHY?!

You know that time he gave you the
black eye behind the demountables?

You told me you went to his house
and made him cry!

And I did!

But then I felt sorry for him,
and it just... happened.

You have to leave - now.

Kane!

I know that he was horrible to you.

And I hated him with a passion.

But I sort of got it confused
with the other kind of passion.

I was !

You were meant to be
defending my honour.

And I did!
Just not mine, so much.

Look, it's really great reminiscing,
but I've got pies to bake.

Kane.

Kane, I was trying
to stick up for you.

I can stick up for myself.

I know that.

I'll see you later.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Right!

I've got something to say,
so listen up.

Today has been a complete disaster.

Lewis thinks I'm being a sell-out.

Phoebe and Gemma
think I'm a traitor.

And Abi just told me that she...

What's Abi done?
Never mind what Abi's done.

The point is
I've gotta bake pies

for a guy that made my life hell.

How did he do that?

Well, he gave me a black eye,

punctured my bike tyres,
he threw eggs at my house, and...

..I let him.

Because I felt like I deserved it.

But I didn't.

No-one should ever feel
like they don't have a hope.

You think you need backup?

I need backup.

I've never needed it more
than I do now, and you're it.

I've gotta bake at pies
tomorrow morning,

and I haven't got a hope in hell
unless you help me.

So get out of bed now.

Breathe.
Ow!

(GROANS) Why do people exercise?!

To live longer, healthier lives.

In crippling pain?

I'm never gonna be an Olympian.

Aww.

You're destined for greater things.

Oh, really?

What do you think I'm destined for?

Well, I've been asking myself that
since your dad started hassling me.

Um, never listen to Dad.

And I've decided that you
are destined to be with me.

And nobody else.

Thank you.

That's very helpful.

Lucy...

..I'm asking you to marry me.

Poppy! You ready?

Oh, I've taken on
another double shift.

I hope that's OK.
No, that's fine.

I've got a half day.

I can do school pick-up,
school drop-off, cook dinner

and still have time to see Justin.

Poppy, I'm in the car already!

We're in such
a good place right now -

you throwing yourself back
into Poppy, star wipes galore.

You up to your elbows in spleen.

We've really figured it out.
Yeah, we're in a perfect place.

Oh, and if things are a little bit
weird with Kane and me,

just... go with it.

Why would they be weird?
Oh, you know - the usual.

And I slept with his school bully.

You...

Derek Northcutt?

What...?
Oh! Don't YOU start.

I was .
It was a very confusing time.

What's confusing?

Bye, sweetheart.

And he wasn't a patch on you.

Hey.
Hey.

I wouldn't normally ask,

but we got to school,
and Kayla's just not up for it.

Oh?
I think it's the gastro thing
going around her class.

Yeah, that's cool.
I'm home all day anyway.

Can't go to school if you're crook.
Eh?

You go in, sweetie.
Come on.

(SIGHS)
Mmm.

I've been hanging
for this appointment

with Simon's divorce lawyer
for weeks.

I understand.
You gotta go. It's important.

OK, I'll be back
as soon as I can, sweetie.

Hey, we'll be fine.

Good luck with the meeting.
Thank you.

Alright.
Oh.

Ooh! Hi.
Oh. Dimity. Hi.

How's, uh... how's things?
Great.

Busy. I'd better run.

Yep.
I'll be late.

Uh, Mark,
you know Kayla, Dimity's eldest?

Hey!

OK, so, you can...
you can pick a film -

any... any DVD you want.

(CHUCKLES) Except for that one.

And maybe... maybe that one.

Where are you going?

To the toilet.

That O... K?

Yeah.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

Abi slept with Kane's bully.

Last batch coming through.

TOM: Wow!

What, did we bake
pies in one night?

Yep!

And now we have to deliver them.

So, what's the story?
Has he decided to stay?

I don't know.

Don't crowd him.

I mean,
you think you know someone...

She was .
It was nearly years ago.

Well, there's
a thing called loyalty!

Abi didn't even know you back then.

Still...

Hey, Mark.
What?

Get over it.
(NAIL g*n CLICKS)

Go here.

So, uh... you and Dimity -
getting pretty... pretty serious?

I mean, she drops her kid off,
and you're playing daddy.

I'm not playing dad.
(MAIL g*n CLICKS)

I mean, Dimity's great.

I'm just saying,
you know, as long as...
Yeah.

..as long as you...
as long as you're ready.

Why wouldn't we be ready?

I'm... I'm not saying you're not.
It's just...

I mean, people have... different
ways of dealing with things.

Yeah.

And Dimity's been through
a rough trot, too. It's just...

I mean, I'm not saying
that she's being... sort of...

..rash, or... irrational -
it's just...

Hey, how long has Kayla
been in the bathroom?

Kayla, you've been in there
for ages. Are you OK?

Kayla.

KAYLA: Go away! I'm fine!

Are you sure?

Can you please get my mum
to come back?

Her phone's switched off.

But she shouldn't be long.

I need her now!

Well... can't I help?

No, you really can't.

Why not?
'Cause you're a boy.

Kayla, did you get your p...?

Kayla, we'll get your mum
as soon as we can!

Who's THAT?!

Uh... it's just Mark.

Shh!
Make him go away!

You should go. Go. Go.

Go, go, go.

Alright, he's... he's gone.

It's just me now, OK?

OK.
OK?

I'm here.

I'm right here.

(CHILDREN PLAY IN DISTANCE)

You're late.

I'm not going anywhere
until you give me an answer.

Obviously, I'm very flattered.
Mm-hm.

And obviously...

..I love you.

(PHONE RINGS)

Now, that's the first time
you've ever said that.

I know. That's sort of my point.

Usually, you get that out of the way

before someone... proposes.

Well, you've said it.

The next thing you can say is yes.
(PHONE RINGS)

Sure.
What, "sure" as in "yes"?

"Sure" as in, that would be
the next thing I would say

if I was gonna say yes.

And are you?

Just wait a moment.

Justin.

Are you OK?

I know how, sometimes,
things are just... are crap.

All you want to do is hide.

But you know what?

It's easier being on the outside
with people who care

than trapped on the inside...
all on your own.

Hi.

This is Lucy.
She's a good friend of mine.

I've asked her to come and help you.

May I come in?

I'll try calling your mum again, OK?

OK.
OK.

You did good.

Just have a read when you can.
Thank you.

Ah! Great. Bring them in.

Those samples you brought me
yesterday ran out the door.

People loved them.
Great.

You haven't tried
our chicken pie yet.

I don't think
you mentioned that one.

Secret recipe.

So it'll cost you extra.

What he said.

Look, the only problem is... uh...
my franchise has taken a hit

because of all this...
breastfeeding stuff.

Why don't you get your mate Lewis
to issue me with a public apology?

Explain it was
all a misunderstanding.

We can put an end to all of it.

I don't like your chances.

Oh, I'd be a lot more enthusiastic
about keeping your order up

if I wasn't losing customers.

Lewis didn't do anything wrong.

YOU'RE the one who should say sorry.

He's right.

Maybe you should be
the one to apologise,

to Phoebe,
and all the women out there.

And maybe...

..maybe you should apologise
to me too.

For all the crap you put me through
in high school.

Or how about I terminate
our agreement instead?

She's just having a nap on your bed.

Is she alright?
Yeah. I think so.

I guess nothing's so great
for Kayla at the moment.

Oh, she hates me.
I didn't say that.

OK. She did.

It's understandable.

Her parents have split -
of course she blames you.

Which is not to say
that it's your fault.

She's gonna get over it.

It just takes time.
Yeah.

I mean, how are Zac and Jacob
coping with everything?

You know,
having someone new in the house?

Yeah, good. Good.

And thanks again for coming.

Sure.

Hi.
Hey.

Is she alright? Where is she?
She's just having a sleep.

This is Lucy.
She... she helped out with Kayla.

I thought she'd want a girl.
Oh.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

I'd better go and see her.

She'll be happy to see you.
Yeah.

Thanks.

Well, I have banned myself from
talking about my exes with Lewis.

Derek Northcutt is not an ex.

He was a one-off.
I was at high school.

His mum gave us finger buns
for afternoon tea,

and one thing led to another.

Well, if anyone needed the talk,
it was you.

I know I shouldn't have
said anything,

but I thought Mark
would find it funny.

Oh, how do you not know by now?

Men like to think

that their wives' sex lives start
the moment that they meet us.

As far as Lewis is concerned,
I was a -year-old virgin.

Oh, I think I'm gonna throw up.
Should I be offended by that?

No, I've just been feeling
a bit off today.

I'm exhausted.

Yeah, well, hello -

that's what happens when you go
as hard as you did day one.

By the next day, you feel as bad
as the rest of us do all the time.

(CHUCKLES)

See you tomorrow.
Bye.

Ugh... (GRUNTS)

Sorry I had to run before.

It WAS kind of an emergency.

Yeah, it always is.

Every time that phone rings
and it's Justin, you go running.

And I know he's had a terrible time,

and I like the guy - I really do -

but I asked you to spend
the rest of your life with me...

..and you told me
to wait a moment, Luce.

What are you doing?

Marry me.

I thought we were just
having an argument.

Marry me instead.

Stand up.

Hey.

(SIGHS) How did I miss this?

One of the most important moments
of her life,

and I'm talking
to the divorce lawyer

about who gets to keep the car.

How'd it go?

Oh, Simon's just blocking.

Nothing's really been decided yet.

So, he wants you back.

What do you want?

I don't know.

I need some time to... you know,
get my head around it all.

Then I can... sort it out.

Oh, the serviced apartment's
sending me broke.

(CHUCKLES)

And I just haven't found anywhere
that I really like yet, you know?

Maybe you never will.

Maybe you haven't found somewhere
because... you already have a home...

..with Simon.

Things with Simon are very messy.

But if there's a chance of you
sorting them, then you should try.

For your kids.

And I need to do
what's best for MY kids.

So I'm not sure if there's
any room here at the moment...

..for anyone else.

It's OK.

I get it.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

You alright?

Yeah. Yeah.

You'll be pleased to know
that Derek and I have broken up.

He asked me to get you
to make a public apology.

I refused.
He terminated my contract.

You want principles, I've got 'em.

You needed that contract.

I thought I needed principles!

Can Derek just cancel the contract?

Did you read the fine print?

He slept with my wife.

It was a long time ago.

But I wouldn't trust the bloke
as far as I could spit him.

Hey, can't you just roll on this?
Kane needs the cash.

Derek Northcutt
was rude to my daughter.

I'm not rolling.

(JEM BAWLS)

I've got an idea.

Hey, guys.

And... go.

(CHILDREN SHOUT AND LAUGH)

You've made your position
on breastfeeding pretty clear.

And that's cool.

The thing is... there's a payoff.

Hungry babies.

Hungry babies equals crying babies.

Equals noise.

(BAWLS)

Want me to make it stop?

But this is only the beginning.

(GLASS SMASHES)
TILDA: Uh-oh!

Oops.
Uh!

Zac! Jacob!

Put that lady's pate
back on her plate, now!

Sorry. Kids. You understand, right?

Apologies, madam.
That's on the house.

You think the sit-ins
have been bad for business?

They're nothing compared to
what we can hit you with.

Oof!
We haven't just got babies.

Between us, we've got
every age bracket covered.

Babies, toddlers, kids...
unruly teens.

You guys are trying
to heavy me with kids?

You'll get over it soon enough.

Oh, we'll never get over it.

And, if we do get tired,
we've got backup.

This guy... is big
in the Mother's Group Association.

He OWNS the suburbs.
Owns.

He can organise a rolling roster
of babies, kids, toddlers,

to stack every one
of your franchises.

All day... every day.

(CHILDREN LAUGH)

FINN: Come back here, you little...
ZAC: You smashed it!

OK, what do you guys want?

What have I gotta do
to make this go away?

('LIKE IT LIKE THAT' PLAYS)

Five, six, seven, and...

What's old Twinkle Toes doing?

He's supposed to be
coaching from the wings.

Why's he centrestage?

(LAUGHS)

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

So, Derek DID renew the contract?

With a little persuading.

(CHUCKLES) pies a week!

How are you gonna manage that?

Well, I'll need
a little bit of help.

Hmm.

If you need me, I'd better stay.

So, I hear you sorted Derek out.

Oh, yeah. We showed him who's boss.

You have nothing to worry about,
Mark Oliver.

With moves like that...

You had me at the first star wipe.

We're sort of in a perfect place
now, aren't we?

We are.
Mmm.

But we might need to make
a few adjustments.

Are you pregnant?

Shh.
Oh...

(LAUGHS)

Mmm.

I asked Harry to marry me.

(GASPS)
What?

You're gonna be Mrs Tuck!

(LAUGHS)

Actually,
it's all thanks to you, Dad.

All your hassling got us thinking.

Oh. Good on ya, darl.

Daddy, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Promise me you'll never grow up.

Promise.

Did you find it?
Yep, found them.

Good.
Good. Thanks.

Mmm. Good-o.

Well.

That's the talk - done.

That was the talk?

$., thanks.

There you go.

Hey!

You're not working tonight, are you?
No. I just came in to see you.

Cool. What's up?

Harry and I are getting married.

I'm sorry. That came out so weirdly.

Um... I just wanted to tell you

before you heard it
from someone else.

Congratulations.
That's... that's fantastic.

Thank you.

Is that all?

Um... yep.
I've gotta get back to the glasses.
