I mean, I really quite enjoyed working with you Dr Proudman.

I think my wife's a alive.

I found Alice, and I'm just so happy about it

because it made me realize what I want.

No. He can't be with me.

Cheers.

I want to be with you.

But right now I...I. Oh, I don't

Chris

Billy, I slept with Mick.

I'm so sorry.

I can't look at you right now.

I’ve been making up all these scenarios in my mind.

You and I live in domestic bliss

Do you think the three of us could live under one roof?

It's in Baltimore.

[mid-tempo music]

[Nina] Well, here I am.

Number of months in Baltimore so far: five.

Number of panic attacks during that time:

zero.

[woman on PA] Paging Dr Stademan.

-Possible breech. -Thank you.

[Nina] Babies I've delivered: 68.

-Nina, we're ready. -Thank you.

[Nina] New friends:

three...

and a half?

[clangs]

Okay, no major sparks,

but at least both guys were unmarried,

not my sister's ex, and refrained from blowing anything up.

My sexual performance while in the US?

Eight.

The eight is on a self-rating system.

I'm grounded, centred,

living in the moment,

confident that I can hang on to this.

I'm feeling good.

[car honking]

[Nina] All right!

-[Nina] Hi. -[Billie] Nins.

[Nina] Oh, gosh.

-and we're waiting to hear. -And--and how's Mom?

Oh, she's Mom. She's stoic, and then she just falls apart.

Like, I just have a constant supply of tissues with me at all times.

And Ray's been teething. Dad bought him one of those sucky things.

So that seems to be sorted.

Um, and--and I've left messages with Jimmy online

in selected South American locations.

And I got the guy from the tapas bar

to translate the message into Spanish.

[Nina] So Jimmy's still overseas?

Hang on, wait, where is your suitcase?

Oh, it's on its way to Manila.

Shit. Um, I'll--I'll call the airline

and I'll get them to track it down using that special system they have.

No, I'm not worried. It'll turn up. It doesn't matter.

[chuckles] You sound so calm.

I'm...

[chuckles] Oh, um, check out

what I've been doing in the back seat. It's just in the back seat.

-This? -Yeah.

I thought someone should organize a family archive.

Okay, so each section has key documents and captioned photos.

You know, there are still some gaps, for identification.

See, oh, see?

Is that the farty cousin?

-Ah... -'Cause he looks a bit special.

We must ask Dad.

Oh, Billie, do you think this is the right time to be--

Nins, the man's old. He's got a dodgy heart.

He's got a baby. No current will.

Yeah, yeah. But I just--You just--

Shouldn't you just wait until he recovers?

No, don't come back and feel like you have to take charge.

-I'm not taking charge. -You're the only grown-up person in the family.

-But I am, actually, trying-- -Oh, please do we have

when our father's in the hospital

-and I just got home? -Nina, I know

I'm the one who's been holding the fort

while you've been away and Jimmy's been up the Amazon.

I've been running Darcy Proudman Real Estate.

I mean, everything is just,

While you've been gone, I've been trying to--

[Nina] Block it out. Block it out.

Remember how I felt in Baltimore.

I can hang on to that feeling.

[tires screech]

You go straight up and see Dad. I'll park the car.

Okay.

[knocks on door]

[inhales]

[gasps]

[surprised gasp]

-Hi. -Oh!

[chuckles]

[smooching]

My darling girl.

[Darcy sighs in relief]

Oh, Dad. Dad, it's fine.

It's so good to see you.

I thought I might never lay eyes on you again.

[clicks tongue]

I took Ray to the park.

Oh, it's steep. Look out.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! -[giggles]

I used to play this game with you kids.

You know, pretending you had superhero strength.

And then one push from your little hands and--

You'd fall over.

Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

[Ray chuckles]

So I was doing that with Ray.

And then the pain hit me.

[moans in pain]

And--and...

The weakness...

I couldn't get up.

I thought...

I'm gonna conk out.

Right here in this park.

Oh, Dad.

If I die, I'm gonna leave Ray without a father.

Cardiology techniques are so sophisticated, Dad.

And I'm sure you're getting the optimum care.

When a man's on his deathbed--

You're not on your deathbed.

[gasps]

I need you to do me two favours.

But, first,

stop Billie hassling me about photos and papers.

She's making me feel like I'm already dead.

Oh, okay. Well, I'll try.

Hm, and my most important favour.

Go to Geraldine's house

and fish her wedding ring out of the S-bend.

Sorry?

Oh, she tossed it in there 15 years ago.

She'd just found out

that Kerry Vokelzang and I had been, you know.

-Yep. -Nin.

I want to ask your mother to renew our wedding vows.

Dad.

You need to identify some new shots.

Um, is this another bastard offspring that we should know about?

Nins, can you find the cardiologist?

I think you should be our medical translator.

[gasps] Let's have a look at this.

[Nina] Hey.

[Nina chuckles]

-[Nina] Hi. -[smooching]

-[Nina] How are you? -Good.

-Good to see you. -It's good to meet you.

-[Nina] Where's Mr. Ray? -Daycare.

-I'm starting back at work. -Wow.

But, um, I don't know now, you know, with all this.

Well, um, look, he's come through the first 24 hours.

You know that's a good sign.

You look ropy.

-Oh. -Jet lag?

Stressed from whooshing back here so suddenly?

Actually, I'm feeling--

Here you go. Rescue remedy.

They really help.

-That's the cardiologist. -Great.

[Nina] Dr Forbes. Hi, I'm Nina.

I'm--I'm Darcy-- Darcy Proudman's daughter.

Yes, Dr Proudman.

-Excuse me. -[chuckles]

Good to meet you.

-You too. -I've been taking care of your father.

-You're aware we-- -Put in a stent?

-Mm. -Mm.

But there's also a problem with the left descending anterior artery.

-[Nina] Okay. -[Ben] If you will have a look here, um,

a significant thinning in this other vessel here.

Hey, what's with Nina's piss-elegant ensemble?

She probably just picked something comfy for the plane.

-Oh. -It was nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

[Nina clears throat]

Well?

Well, it looks like he'll...

He might need another procedure.

[Cherie] What, a bypass?

Dr Forbes will make that decision this afternoon.

Wow.

Well, you're so calm about that guy

cutting your father's chest open.

Well, coronary bypass surgery

is really a standard thing these days.

Was that your doctor voice?

No.

You asked me to be the medical liaison person.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean you have to be all

Mrs. Detached Professional about it.

I mean, this is our dad that we're talking about.

Now I--I don't understand what's going on.

Where are you?

Hello, Nina? Nins?

What's this spacey thing you're doing?

What is it? Is it some kind of tragic American

self-actualization ritual?

No, I'm using my imagination as my ally.

I need techniques to survive re-entering into this family.

What, we're an ordeal for you?

Um, no, it's not like that.

It's great to see you.

I just... I need a shower.

I'll--I'll go home. Then we can talk properly.

At the flat?

Um, don't worry about the boxes

or the musical instruments.

Sorry?

-[Nina] What? -[Billie] It's part of the plan.

Just to do things the right way

and not ass-about.

So I can't get pregnant

So Mick's been doing extra gigs and landscaping jobs.

And, also, we've sublet his place

to some French-Canadian acrobats

for extra cash.

Oh, so, you've moved into my place.

Nins, you came back early.

Couldn't you have gone to Mom's?

Mom? Don't get me started about Mom.

Do you know what our mother's been doing?

Nins, our mother

has been toying with our father's affections.

I've been monitoring it.

[Nina] Ooh, should I stop in on the Obstetrics floor?

It'd be perfectly natural to pop in

and say hello to my former colleagues.

Rude not to.

And when I do run into Chris Havel,

I will be poised and centred.

[elevator dings]

We went our separate ways

in an atmosphere of mutual dignity.

Pretty much.

-When I do see him, I'll be... -Nina?

-Oh, Zara! Hi! -[Zara] Hey, how are you?

-I'm good. It's great to see you. -You too.

I know what you're thinking.

-Do you? -Yeah.

That things have changed around here.

Well, well, well.

What a delight

to see the doctor who delivered

my exquisite baby daughter.

-Hello, Martin. -Nina.

So, Kim is back at work,

but she's always tired because Stella's a fussy baby.

Sleeping Kim isn't much different

in terms of work rate to awake Kim.

I guess not.

[Renee] Hey, Kim, wake up!

Open up the milk bar.

Here she comes, here she comes.

-Oh, Nina! You're back! -Hi. Hello.

Hello, Stella! Hi, beautiful girl.

Now, remember, we said no nipples in shot.

Yes. Well, point well taken.

I'll adjust my camera angle.

Dr Clegg considered hormone injections,

so he could share in the breastfeeding.

Well, anatomically, Zara, it is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Even so, we decided against it.

Yes, two against one.

But I am permitted to share some parental responsibilities.

So, how was Baltimore?

[Renee] Did you have an amazing time?

Are you back for good now?

Oh, I'm not sure.

I'm... I'm here now because my dad's not well.

[all] Oh.

But, yes, I've been having an amazing time.

I've actually been invited to stay on and--and participate

in some fascinating research projects.

A-ha!

So you wouldn't come back to work here?

You'd give up delivering babies?

[Nina] Oh, I'm still really passionate about my job,

-but I might. -[Renee] What are you saying?

[Martin] Well, what Dr Proudman is saying,

is that she has many wonderful work opportunities,

-both here and in the United States. -Yes, that's right.

There's some great options. I just--I haven't decided yet.

It's a shame you missed Chris Havel before he left.

Left for the day? Where did he go?

He moved up to Brisbane last Tuesday.

His wife got a job up there.

[Zara] Chris is back at the Paeds Department.

[Martin] It seemed the best arrangement for them.

Hm, yeah. It's a wonderful arrangement.

I've just--I've actually got to make a phone call.

I'll come back.

[Martin sighs]

[Nina] He's gone.

Oh, I'm on this stupid balcony.

Oh, come on. It'll be easier if he's gone.

It'll be... It--it will be.

We figured that Chris had stayed in contact with you.

[Nina] No. Not a word in five months.

But you didn't know that he was leaving, did you?

Oh, I knew it. I knew it, I knew...

No.

-Are you okay? -Yeah, I'm fine.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[clears throat]

[Nina] You are fine.

You're fine.

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -[Jimmy] Nina, it's me.

Jim, where are you? Are you still stuck in Colombia?

I am stuck, but not in Colombia.

How's Dad? Is he-- What's happening?

Oh, Dad's in the hospital. He's, um...

He's having tests and--

So he's alive?

Oh, thank God. Oh, that's so great.

Can you come downstairs and rescue me?

Huh?

Oh, you monkey!

[Jimmy] Nina!

Nina!

-Jimmy. -[Jimmy] Come on!

-[Nina] Hi. -Are you the sister?

-Uh, yes. -[Jimmy] We're trapped.

The guy won't open the doors and give us our bags unless we pay--

-Yeah, 80 bucks. -[Jimmy] I offered him cash.

Yeah, I don't want pesos or dinero or Vietnamese ding.

-[Jimmy] I said "dong" -Oh, it's okay. Shh.

-Australian dollars, all right? -[man] All right.

Okay.

[Nina] Thanks.

Hi!

-Dad's really okay? -Yeah.

I've been traveling nonstop to get back home.

I couldn't even bring my phone charger.

-It's--It's okay. -Is he okay?

Yeah, yeah, he's doing well.

Just go upstairs. I'll take care of the bags.

Okay.

I should see my father by myself first, okay?

-Nina will look after you, okay? -Okay.

Buenos dias.

Oh! No, I'm from Sydney.

-Oh! Sorry. -Oh, no, no. That's all right.

You wouldn't know. I'm Tammy.

Hi, Nina.

[Jimmy] "Dear Dad,

As I write this, there's a strong chance

you're already dead.

Let me make this pledge.

I will always stay in Ray's life."

Thank you, Jimmy.

But--but, really, I'm feeling tremendous now.

-Don't upset yourself-- -"I think about all the ways--"

When Jimmy and me met, it was like...

"This is the person I was put on earth to be with."

You know, how you just know?

[Nina] I do know you're so young you couldn't possibly.

Oh!

Jimmy said that you'd do that.

Go into your head.

Now you're doing it right in front of me.

Cool.

"We did so much together.

So many memories to share.

My youth was so enriched

by our times together."

[chuckles]

Dad wants to ask you something.

Yeah.

Please, get Jimmy out of here.

He's reading me the eulogy for my own funeral.

And don't forget your mother's wedding ring.

I love you both so much.

Dad, I can't wait for you to meet Tammy.

Well, Dad needs to rest right now, Jim.

Okay, you--you meet Tammy later. Rest up now, Dad.

Bye.

[sighs]

So, have--have you guys known each other long?

I first saw her two weeks ago

crying under a palm tree in Cabo San Juan.

[Tammy] Um, I'd just broken up

with the guy I was traveling with.

A week later, we were canoeing through the Amazon

-when I got the message-- -[Tammy] When Jimmy got the message about his dad.

[Jimmy] Tammy organized a boat to come here.

[Tammy laughs]

[Tammy] Yeah, except the mudslide meant

my ingenious travel plan got stuffed.

[Jimmy] I liked the donkey!

It was better than the tractor.

[Tammy] Oh, my God. And then, that bus.

We had to pay a taxi a hundred US bucks to take us to Lima.

Mm-hm, so Jimmy could get his flight home.

Thank you. You're so special.

[moans]

[Nina] Oh, Billie, I know, but I'm tired.

I just don't feel like captioning photos at the moment.

I'm tired. I just--

I need to go home and eat something.

And I need a shower. I really stink.

[Mick] Nina! Nina.

-Hi, sorry. -No, it's okay. I was finished.

-Hi! How are you? -You're back! Welcome back.

-Are you good? -Good. I'm really good.

-What have you been doing? -[both laugh]

It's good to see you.

Mm-hm.

-You're walking? -Yeah, I am. Yeah.

I'm really sorry about Darcy.

I'm really fond of your father.

Yeah, I know you are.

Billie missed you a lot.

Did she? It doesn't seem like it.

Oh, yeah. She did, she did.

Like, he won't look at me.

He won't lick my hand.

He even growls a bit.

[both laugh]

[Nina sighs dreamily]

What, so, did you get those photos, then?

Not yet. Your dad wanted me to collect some songs he'd written.

I'm dropping them over to him at the hospital after this.

I need those photos, Mick, so I can get Dad to identify--

-[Nina] Thanks. -Shouldn't you be getting off to Ballarat?

There's plenty of time.

That gig pays serious money, Mick.

You cannot get wishy-washy with the plan.

[sighs heavily]

"The Plan" has capital letters.

I can hear the capitals. [chuckles]

Okay, well, my father is about to have his ribs wrenched apart.

You think now is the time to make lame, sarcastic--

Oh, he's not being sarcastic, Billie.

-He's just trying to-- Nope. -[Billie] You defending him now?

-You, of all people? -Oh, that's another one.

Come on. Just get it out, yes.

[blows]

We didn't want his sex with you

to be a constantly oozing sore in the relationship.

Yeah, it's to develop a containment method.

[Billie] Mick issued me with ten vouchers.

[Mick] One to be used every time Billie played

the sex-with-Nina card against me in an argument.

Ten wasn't enough?

[Mick] No, Billie printed more.

After this batch, no more playing

-the sex-with-Nina card. -No.

[paper rustles]

[Nina grunts] Oh, God!

[clatters]

Oh, yes!

[panting]

-Nina? -[Nina] Oh, Mom!

-[Geraldine] Oh, darling! -[Nina] Hi.

Oh, you're back!

Oh, it's so good to see you!

-How are you? -I'm good.

-Wow, you look beautiful, Mom. -Oh!

What are you doing in the S-bend?

Oh!

[guitar plays mid-tempo song]

Never got around to writing the other verses to that one.

Oh, you'll come back to it.

[strumming continues]

I reckon a couple of these would make bloody good songs.

They could.

If I kick the bucket,

would you finish them off for me?

[scoffs]

I will.

Mick, I do realize

Billie Proudman is hard work.

[chuckles]

But it'd be a big relief to know that you'll stick with her.

I'm going to.

He's after the wedding ring.

He's had a scare, Mom. He's afraid that he--

Might die, which is my fault.

What? No, it's not.

Not unless you've figured out a way to clog up someone's artery.

No, he had bad chest pain after our last...

Well, it was a fairly vigorous encounter

and I laughed it off as heartburn.

And this morning, when I visited him in the hospital--

Mom, it's not your fault.

[sighs] Nina.

Oh... please don't ask me to do that.

Your eyes are glassy.

Oh, well, it's just jet lag.

Have you seen Chris Havel yet?

-He's moved to Brisbane. -Oh!

Well, I chose to go to Baltimore, so it's really--

Well, yes, but it's still very distressing for you, my beautiful--

No. Actually. No.

I'm feeling quite--

-You look ragged. -Thanks.

Why don't you go and lie down here for a few hours?

Oh, it's all right. I've got to--

Um... Well, I just have to do something,

-but I'll call... I'll call back. -All right.

[Nina] From deep within the bowels of Mordor,

I bring you the ring, Father.

[both laugh]

[scoffs]

Do you think, maybe, you should...

hold off proposing at the moment?

Did your mother say something?

I just think, right now, you're...

You're all churned up, Dad.

Perhaps I could be the guardian of the ring for now?

[elevator dings]

[ring clatters]

[Nina] Oh. Oh, thanks.

You're welcome.

Are you Nina Proudman?

Yes?

Uh, Fraser King.

First-year obstetrics registrar.

-Oh, hi. -It's, uh, first week.

[chuckles]

You get very good press around the department.

Oh.

[clinks] Oh. No, seriously.

Not again. Klutz. It's my mother's wedding ring.

Oh.

My parents are estranged.

Well, not so estranged

since they started having sex with each other again.

My father wanted me to fish it out of the S-bend,

so he could propose to her.

A very cute stranger?

gestational diabetes.

It's amazing stuff.

You have a very...

lucid way of writing.

Yeah, the way you cross-reference...

[voice fades]

[Nina] Stop it, you're delirious.

[Fraser] The data research...

[trails off]

-[elevator dings] -[Fraser] This is me.

Anyway, I'd love to chat to you about the whole Baltimore experience.

-Sure. -Bye.

-[door opens] -[barks]

[Nina] Hello, Rocket.

-[Tammy] Yeah. Yup. -[Jimmy] Yes.

[Jimmy] Uh, yeah. Uh, there it is.

[Tammy moans]

[Nina] People are having sex in my flat.

[Nina] Billie and Mick.

[moaning]

[Tammy] Oh! Oh, Jimmy!

[Nina] So, who's that?

[Nina] Oh, Jimmy and his true love.

Oh, well, rampant sex is understandable in the face of death.

There's an urge to connect to some primal force,

to clutch at other people.

My imagination is my ally.

I can cast whoever I like in my own fantasy.

Righty-o. Who will I pick?

Hi, Nina.

Even though we've never met before,

I feel an overwhelming urge

to connect with you in a primal sexing way.

Oh!

Look, thanks, absurdly handsome TV doctor Andrew Rochford.

You are gorgeous.

But not quite right for my purposes today.

I need this fantasy to feel a little more earthy

and achievable.

Not a celebrity crush.

Hello, guy from cafe.

Listen, I was just--

If you talk in the fantasy, you'll wreck it.

Why rule anything out, Nina?

Oh, I'd love to make this play.

But, sadly, no.

My loss.

Oh, no.

The offer's still there.

Too weird.

Oh, maybe. [chuckles]

But you're my father's doctor.

Oh, feels a bit wrong.

[moaning]

Oh, hang on. Stop it. What are you doing?

No. How old are you?

You're too young! This definitely feels wrong.

[gasps]

[gasping]

[Nina] Handwriting looks like...

Chris.

[Chris] "Dear Nina,

I hope you're having a wonderful time in the US.

By the time you get back, I will have left.

I didn't want to disappear without some explanation.

An opportunity came up in Brisbane for Alice,

and I decided to take a job there too.

I thought this would be easier for everyone, including you."

[dramatic music]

[Chris] "You know you'll always be very special to me, Nina.

I wish you... much happiness.

Take care. Chris."

[door opens]

I don't have to go. I could always get Clayton to do the gig.

[Billie] No. We should stick to what we planned.

-You, you go, I'll be fine. -[Mick] I know.

Ring me when you get to Ballarat,

so I know you haven't had an accident on the way.

Yeah, will do.

Actually, ring me halfway there. Pull over and ring me.

Don't--don't fiddle with your phone--

I'm not gonna fiddle. I don't fiddle.

Don't--don't crash the Ute and die.

I mean it.

I know you do.

I'm not gonna die.

[Billie] You're saying that in a glib way.

Do not die, Mick. Do--

[Rocket whines]

[Billie] Don't.

[whining continues]

-Rocket, come on. -[barks]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Did the hospital ring?

What is it? Are you worried about dad?

No... Yes.

[Billie] Oh, Nins.

You should've had sex with him way back,

just exchanged some bodily fluids

and flushed him out of your system.

Is that how you flush a man out of your system?

Like exchange bodily fluids?

[Billie] Well, the real sex would never have been as good

as the sex in your imagination.

Yes, okay, the man did have, you know,

spectacular abdominal definition

and--and lips that were chiselled,

yet still pillowy.

But physical attributes

tell you nothing about performance.

because they have never had to really try hard.

So chances are you have narrowly escaped a truly dud root.

Sorry, which is it?

My big mistake was not sleeping with him

or sleeping with him would've been a bigger mistake?

It's irrelevant.

The thing now is that you need to--to cut the cord,

which you should be good at.

-Burn the letter. -What?

No!

Nins, just... You need to let go of the fantasy

and start living in the... the now.

I am letting go of the fantasy. It's not fantasizing.

I'm--What are you--No. [shushes]

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -Nina?

Darcy's had another heart attack.

There's, um, a problem with the blood clots,

but nobody knows at this stage.

Oh. Well, we--we--we're... we're coming right now.

-Dad's had another heart attack. -Oh, shit.

Hang on. Hang on, I'll get shoes.

-Just... just come. -[Billie] Coming!

-[Nina] Now. -[Billie] Coming!

[Billie] You go straight up. I'll park the car.

[Nina] Be okay, Dad. Please be alive.

I don't want my dad to die. I don't.

I don't want him to leave us now.

No, come on. I have to be the calm centre for everyone.

It's no good if I'm--

Nina, we need your help.

-[Nina] Oh, no, I can't-- -Doctor crisis.

Clegg, Chandek, and Strange all busy with emergencies,

and Dr Lee's been injured.

He was trampled by ponies at a medieval fair.

Oh, Kim, I'm sorry. I can't--

No. The point is our obstetrics rookie

is dealing with a breech on his own.

-And? -You can save the day.

Come on, Nins. It'll only take a minute.

[Nina] Got no choice.

Carla, this is Dr Proudman.

-[grunting] -Contraction coming?

With any breech, what's the concerns?

-Cord compression. -[Nina] Mm-hm.

[Nina] Okay, good.

-Okay, see where my hands are? -Mm-hm.

-And gently release the legs. -Okay.

Okay, we're gonna let the baby down to the umbilicus.

And we're gonna hold him there. Okay?

[Nina] Okay, Carla, we need another big push from you.

-[groaning] -That's it.

Okay, now, slowly, slowly. Elevate his body.

-Here we are. -Oh!

[baby crying]

[Fraser] Congratulations, Carla.

[whimpers]

It's pretty amazing every time, isn't it?

[Nina] Yes, it is.

Every time.

And amazing to think that this new person

has arrived in the world at the exact moment my dad might be--

Sorry, I just need to go.

[gasps]

They've taken him to the cath lab.

Oh! Right.

Well, that's good.

You should've seen his face, Nina.

It was like he knew.

[Billie] God, I wish I hadn't sent Mick away.

He really loved Dad, you know?

And maybe it was because he was so close to his father

before he died.

I just--I just really wish Mick was here.

Because, you know, people can die at any moment.

You can't let them out of your sight.

Darcy started to write a will.

On the back of a hospital menu?

Mm-hm.

[paper rustles]

"I, Darcy Chester Proudman,

being of sound mind..."

That's as far as he got.

Oh, look... Look, he wasn't of sound mind.

He ticked "baked custard."

Dad hates custard.

The--the texture reminds him of internal organs.

He's gone.

-Oh. -No, no. Mom, not to heaven.

-Upstairs to the cath lab. -[sobs]

[barks]

Rocket.

-[Billie] Mick! What-- -I turned the car around on the freeway.

Clayton is doing the Ballarat gig.

-But I'm... -Look, let's revise the plan.

-Mick. -Life is short.

Fuck waiting around to save for a deposit.

Let's make a baby now.

Yes! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Fuck the plan.

[baby crying]

Hello, everyone.

We cleared the blood clot

and while we were there, we managed to stent the other lesion.

No need for a bypass now.

All is well. Darcy's fine.

Oh!

[chuckling]

[sobbing]

Oh, Nins.

I'm sorry.

No, I--I get it now.

You couldn't let it rip before.

-[Sam] Cherie! -[Cherie] Sam.

-[Sam] Sorry. -[Cherie] He's okay.

Excuse me.

[Darcy] Ahh!

Greetings, all my gorgeous loved ones!

[laughing] Oh.

And a young woman I don't know.

Oh, Dad, this is Tammy.

Greetings, Tammy.

Hello, Mr. Proudman.

How are you feeling, Dad?

-Oh, I'm tremendous. -Still off his face--

Whoa! I am off my face on life!

Oh, my heart is just...

full of joy because--

Well, I've been there.

I've stood on the lip of the canyon of death.

[laughs] It's so clear.

It's so clear.

You must say yes to life.

Forget about the reasons not to embrace life.

Just embrace it!

[giggling]

Oh, Geraldine.

Yes, Darcy. I'm here.

-Geraldine. -Hm.

Will you rekindle our marriage

with a renewal of vows?

Uh...

[sighs]

Oh, Darcy, you bloody old fool.

[laughs]

[sighs]

Bugger it. Why not? Yes.

Oh, love of my life!

-[Cherie] A toast to Darcy! -[all] Yay!

[Sam] Darcy and Geraldine getting remarried.

-That calls for a toast. -[all cheering]

Don't you think we should get married?

Hm, prove yourself as a breeder first.

[chuckles] Right.

Our Jimmy and our Nina are back home.

[all] Yay!

Mick and Billie are making a baby!

[all screaming]

And Jimmy and me are in love!

-[Tammy giggles] -Yeah.

Nins.

Oh, no, I'm not getting up. I might fall over.

-Nins. Nins. -No!

-Oh, See? Told you. -[giggles]

♪ Take your freakin' breath away ♪

♪ All we really get is today

Oh!

I've missed you so much, Nins.

And I'm sorry

if I've been a bit of a cow today.

Just, it feels... weird.

Still.

I reckon you've changed while you've been away. You seem...

I don't know.

Centred? Grounded?

Hang on.

Have you still got that letter from Chris Havel

burning a hole in your pocket?

[distant laughing]

[Mick singing]

What if he was my soul mate and I've missed my chance?

I don't hold with that whole one soul mate thing.

And you are kind and smart and gorgeous.

And if the right guy doesn't realize that, then...

-Oh. -Then I will kill him.

Well, I thought Chris was the right guy.

Well, he didn't fight to be with you.

So, I should've killed him.

After you fucked him.

-Oh! -Like a lady spider.

[cackling]

Set fire to the letter.

And what would that achieve?

And we've got our own fireman on stand-by.

No, it doesn't feel right to burn it.

I'll just... I'll file it away in the...

defunct relationship archive.

Well, that's very wise.

It's not as much fun as burning.

I'm aiming for wise.

Oh! Oh.

Yeah, sure, me and Tammy have only known each other for three weeks,

but we both went through such intense moments in our lives, you know?

So, two weeks together is more the equivalent of two years for us.

Like dog years.

Exactly. [chuckles]

[Nina] Maybe I could just... file it somewhere.

It's only a bit of paper.

Chris Havel's gone. It's over.

But the earth hasn't swallowed me up.

Ooh, but the whole world is rolling.

It's quite nice, like being on a yacht.

Might as well give in to it.

Can't stay grounded by saying no to everything.

Like Dad said, you should say yes.

I don't want to give up delivering babies.

Yes to the babies!

Yes to being sucked back into the Proudman family vortex.

Yes to thoughts about new registrar.

Yeah, embrace the lustful thoughts.

-What's she saying? -She's delirious.

Yes, delirious.

[Nina] I'm home.
