- I lost a patient today. - Breathe

- What's going on? - Get some help in here, Leo.

Five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten...

She gave birth to her child, and then she died.

And we couldn’t resuscitate her.

I’m trying so hard

not to bring it all home with me.

Cherie, welcome back.

- You look really well. - As do you.

Must carry on.

I had a lovely night.

Me too.

Mick?

I'm seeing someone else.

Her name’s Mimi.

I didn’t realise that we were up to t

‘let's talk about having babies’ part

[celebratory music]

God, I'm happy, Billie.

Did someone say happy?

Good morning, extended,

functional family.

[Lawrence] Hm.

You know,

happiness really is the best medicine.

Who needs medicine

when there's nothing wrong?

[all laughing]

-[Thomas] Hello. -[Billie] Hey.

[Thomas] Hey.

Do I smell something...

[all] It's happiness!

[Leo] Can I get in on some of this happiness?

Leo, you'll find someone soon.

[snorts]

Didn't Mick get in this morning?

[chuckles]

Nins?

Mick got in this morning.

-[Billie] Nins. -Huh.

Mick got home this morning.

Shit.

Where were you?

Nowhere. Somewhere happy.

Disturbingly happy.

[Darcy] We're gonna go to the park,

we'll go on the swings.

Then we gonna go to grandma's and we'll visit your cousins.

You don't seem very nervous

about seeing Mick.

I am on character secretly am, aren't I?

-Should I be nervous? -No.

I think it's wonderful.

Maybe Lawrence is rubbing off on me.

Oh.

Which reminds me, you should bring Thomas tonight.

No. No. I don't...

Nins, you've been sexing him for a month.

You're gonna have to introduce him to the family at some point.

You know like a formal "Let's meet Thomas", you know.

-No. -Yes.

So tonight's the perfect lucky awkward proof event.

Everyone's gonna be so distracted by Mick being back.

He'll just slip into the family unnoticed.

There'll be no room for tapers of mishaps.

Um, Zoe got a water bottle?

[Billie] Um. Yeah.

-Dad? -Yeah?

Don't you think that Nins should bring Thomas tonight?

-[Nina] No. -Yeah. Uh, what's tonight?

Mixed drinks.

Oh. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah.

-Good idea. I'd love to meet Thomas. -Yeah.

Oh.

You look nice.

-Very professional, -Oh. Thanks Dad.

Uh, I'm meeting up with Ange to workshop Jimmy's Taqueria.

Family business again.

What about you? You--you gonna bring Lawrence?

It's highly contentious.

I have prepared him well.

Mick is coming back.

So I'm gonna be off-center.

I may yell in traffic,

I may chew my food more vigorously.

I may not listen to what you saying.

But don't be alarmed.

We are still solid.

I'm sure Mick be fine with it.

Oh. I think you should run and pass him...

gently.

-Oh. You're probably right. -Well. We're off.

-Oh, yes. So wait. What are we doing? -[Billie] Oh, yes.

-[Nina] Bye bye darling. -[baby coos]

[Martin] Uh, Nina.

I've been meaning to have a word with you.

Actually, I...I've been meaning to have a word with you too.

[Martin] Excellent.

-Here it is! -[Martin rasps]

-[Nina] Thanks. -[rustling]

Are you okay, Martin?

Yep.

Hmm. Cherie has agreed I should inform you

that I am in the midst of an attack.

Nina, hmm, perhaps we could talk...

in my fall back position.

[Martin screams] Excuse me, uh.

Yeah, it's good.

-What? -You missed the meeting, yesterday.

Good morning, everybody.

Cherie and I have an announcement to make.

-Are you guys getting married? -Are you kidding me?

No. Don't be silly about things like that. Now,

Cherie and I have decided

that we're all mature enough to work together.

Despite how mutual compulsive act to be physical with each other

every single second of the day.

I think I'm gonna vomit.

Now, you probably don't need reminding. [clears throat]

Uh. Probably not. No.

[exhales] But let's face facts. Cherie is a Clegg addict.

And I am a Cherie dependent.

And we would appreciate your support and tolerance

during this difficult period of rehabilitation.

So, Clegg's come up with the idea of naming it.

-Naming what? -Oh, when he feels attracted to me.

He's gonna name it out loud.

Thinks it'll rob it of it's power.

Is it working?

Oh. [sighs]

He disappears every time he sees me

which keeps us apart,

so I guess that helps.

Martin?

Cherie filled you in operation "Name it and Shame it", I presume?

-Yes. -And it's working a treat.

No awkward pauses.

No emotional tangents.

Work has continued, uninterrupted.

That's good, hmm.

Now. What did you wanna see me about?

Yeah. Oh, ca-- it's nothing, really.

I'm...

I just...I wasn't even gonna say anything.

Uh, and then I thought,

Oh. I think it's best to be open about these things.

-Uh-hm. -So... [clears throat]

Recently I...I've...

I've been thinking about other career paths.

I'm not...I'm not going anywhere

or anything, yet.

Uh. I've just... I've been considering my options, Martin.

That would be a... that would be somewhat devastating.

Why?

Well...

Frankly, I wonder if Zoe's being affected...

by what I go through here.

Am I bringing it home?

And...Am I giving enough of my self to her?

[Martin] Yeah. That's uh,

That's an understandable anxiety.

I just thought you should know where my head is.

Still in vaginas?

What?

Change and undermanning in the same field.

Yes.

[sighs]

Nina.

The loss of a patient...

can be life-altering.

But I would caution you as a friend

not to...

base any decisions solely on that.

I agree.

That wall is red.

Is it good red?

I think it's kitsch.

Is it?

-Let's keep it. -Keep it.

-So, when does Mick get in? -He's here.

Got in this morning.

We're having lunch.

Are you nervous about seeing him?

Strangely not.

It has been a long time. You know, we're both in solid relationships.

I'd love to be in a solid relationship.

Keep these shelves?

For now, maybe.

-I went on a date last night. -Yeah?

Potential at the beginning then after entree,

he starts talking about legs.

-What, to eat? -What?

What, you know chicken legs?

I wish. No, women's legs.

Like, all the different types of women's legs.

Like, piggy legs,

knobbly legs,

sausage legs,

pole legs, monkey leg--

Like you know me, I'm not the sort to say,

"All the good one's are taken" but--

Why--why don't you come tonight?

Oh! Leo.

-What? -Nina's friend.

How would you feel about being set up?

I love that idea.

Great. I will make that happen.

Great.

Second thoughts, let's lose these shelves.

-Lose shelves. -Yeah.

[pop music playing]

All right, we have fresh--

[dial tone ringing]

[door shuts]

-Nina? You're busy? -Oh, well...

What--what is it?

Mick's asleep on the couch. He passed out while I was making french toast.

Nina, why is he really back?

What do you mean?

Well, I don't know. I thought he was here to,

sort out storage, you know, tie up lose ends and sell the house.

But, I don't know. I feel that there's something more to it.

Maybe it was the jet-lag but

when I picked him up from the airport

he wanted to see his old house.

And he just stared at it for like, five minutes.

Still there.

And--and he wanted to go to the cafe

where they had breakfast after their first night together.

He just stared at it too.

Don't you wanna go in?

No.

And then fired up all these questions.

What sort of questions?

[Jimmy] Do you think Billie's happy? How often do they see each other?

Do you think it's long term?

-[machine beeping] -What did you say?

We've spoken of it before. You know, the--the age difference.

The lack of things in common.

The rebound nature of the relationship.

Billie and Lawrence are in a serious relationship.

Nina, I think Mick wants Billie back.

Think about it. He could sell the house from over the

His stuff is mostly in storage or already under my bed.

So, why else would be here?

Jimmy, Mick lives in London. He's in a relationship.

Billie's in a relationship. She's happy.

Everyone's happy.

So, he didn't have to come back.

He's got a week off between gigs.

It's a long way to come back for one week.

Oh, they're having lunch together tod

Do you think he's gonna say something?

By the way he was this morning, I'd bet my taco empire on it.

[Nina] What are you dong here?

Is this your responsibility?

Still asleep. You can't wake him up.

Can you?

What you even say to him? Just come out and ask him,

what he's doing here and what he's gonna say to Billie?

Should you really even be interfering?

-[phone rings] -[gasps] God.

-Billie. -Nins.

Where are you?

Um, with some people.

How about inviting him to mixed drinks tonight?

-Who? -Leo.

He's single, right?

Ange is interested of meeting him. Be perfect place for a set up.

Oh, great. Yes. Okay.

You don't sound keen.

No, I am. Let's do that.

Why you talking like a phone bank?

I'm just--I'm with a patient.

But I'll ask Leo, he's right here.

Ask him now.

Nina.

The, god--Bye.

Oh, what?

Oh, just happen to be here.

-[Mick laughs] -Hi, Mick.

Oh, so good to see you. You look great.

You too.

It's great to see you too.

But I'm seeing you before Billie does.

-Did I wake you up? -No.

Well, sort of. I heard your voice.

Want a cup of tea?

Yes.

You seem really happy.

I hear you are seeing someone.

Oh, yes.

I suppose so.

He's--he hasn't met anyone yet.

-Bring him tonight. -Oh, no.

No, I don't think he's ready to...

-Be Proudmanized. -No.

That sounds like the perfect place.

Plenty of distractions,

less chance for capers.

Oh, it's what Billie said.

-How is Billie? -Good. Happy, yep.

She's really keep up-- I mean, she's good.

Jimmy tells me she's still kind of seeing someone?

[Nina] Kind of?

They just had the baby talk.

Lawrence?

Yes, she's seeing him very much. Seeing him.

How--how long are you staying?

Oh, just, um, a week.

Between gigs. A week to work things out.

Right.

[Nina] Things? What things do you need to work out?

None of your business, Nina.

Well, I just... came around to pop in. And I was...

popped in.

I actually gotta go.

I broke up with Mimi.

[Nina] That's possibly one of the things.

Oh, Mick. I'm sorry.

It's a good thing. I thought it was going somewhere.

But in the end, I realized, I'm never gonna love her as much as I loved--

[Nina] Leave it. Don't say anything. Walk away.

Mick.

[Nina] Idiot. Stop now.

It's none of my business.

Jimmy suggested that he may have talked about Lawrence and Billie

in a way that undersold their relationship.

Oh, right.

I--I just wanted balance out

his opinion by saying that...

Billie's happy. She's secure.

And I--I think Lawrence has been really good for her.

But I just want you to think really hard before you decide

to say anything to her.

About Mimi or anything else.

If--if that's what your intention was.

Nina, I have no idea why I got on that plane.

I don't have a plan.

I just--

I have questions. A lot of questions.

[Nina] Well, that didn't sort anything out. Nothing whatsoever.

-Just made yourself more confused. -[elevator dings]

-Oh, Leo. Hi. -Hi. Hi.

You look, um, arraigned.

-Do I? -Oh, you know, in a very glamorous,

-enigmatic way. -Oh, right.

You have something to ask me.

Oh, I do. How can you tell?

Because your face does this...

and then your eyes go...

[laughs]

No, it doesn't.

It's true. It's true. You can look in the mirror.

-Really? -Yeah.

Um, anyway. I do have something to ask you.

Yeah.

Would you be interested in a date?

A sort of date.

I don't normally do this. [giggles]

But Ange, hello to Ange.

And--and she's gonna be at the pub tonight for a few drinks.

Because it's my brother-in-law's, well, ex, anyway.

Everyone will be there. So, it's not as if

-it'll be just the two of you. -Oh, all right.

Uh, and...and you know,

you'll just love her, that's the point.

-She's great. -Um...

Yeah, look, no offense...

but, uh, I've...I don't think so.

It's not...It's not really me.

Well, neither was attempt at casual s

with a stranger in a hotel room, but you did that.

Almost.

Well, that was a bit different.

-Yeah, but-- -Nina, I don't want to.

Oh, sorry.

Of course. I didn't mean to be pushy.

So, your--your brother-in-law is, is back, is he?

-Yeah. -Ex.

Hm.

[footsteps thudding]

[sighs]

[gloomy music]

-Hi. -Hey.

[Mick chuckles]

You look sort of pale,

there's less freckles. I guess there's no sun there.

You look great. Happy.

I am.

I'm happy to see you, too.

[Mick chuckles]

-You wanna? -Yeah.

Right.

Well, we should decide what we want.

So, get it out of the way. It's not hanging over us.

-For lunch. -Yes.

Yep. Right.

[sighs]

Something will come to me.

So...

the house.

Billie, we just sat down.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Business later.

-Is it good to be back? -Ah...

-Yeah. I think so. -Did you just sleep this morning?

Yeah I just passed out. It was like, I had my brain wrapped in a wet towel

for a couple of hours.

You, you didn't bring your girlfriend?

-Um... -No.

But everything's going really well over there though?

-Yeah. Yeah, I guess. -That's good.

I'm--I'm really proud of you.

Among many other feelings.

What other feelings?

Oh, I'm gonna block that particular line of inquiry.

Which is unlike me, I know. But, um...

-I think it's just better for everyon -Yup.

Fair enough.

How's Lawrence?

He's good. He's great.

And he likes me a lot.

I mean, he, he... likes things about me that

no one has ever really noticed before,

which is nice.

That's good.

Yeah.

I thought he was just a fling, but it's---

it's, it's more.

How's um...

-Mimi. -Yeah.

What was that short for?

-short for something? -I don't know.

Does it have to be short for something?

-Bugger. -What?

Oh, it's nothing. It's just, ah...

We were gonna set Ange and this friend of Nina's up

and we thought your drinks would be perfect tonight, but now he said no.

And now, I have to tell Ange that she being rejected before you even met.

Oh. Go and make the call, I'll--I'll order then.

-Oh, okay. -You know what you want?

[Billie] Um...

Um, chicken salad.

You want me to order the steak sandwich so you can eat most of it?

Yes.

[Mick chuckles]

[cell phone rings]

Hi.

[Billie] Ange.

-How was it? -Oh, I'm still here.

It's sort of, weird and clunky.

Um, I just wanted to let you know that tonight's off.

All of it?

No, just the set up part.

Leo's not into it.

What? Why?

[Billie] I don't know. He just said no.

Well, don't I look like a dick.

No you don't.

-I feel dickish, Billie. -You're probably missing nothing.

You know, Nins had an attempted one-night stand with him.

And it was a complete dud.

Oh, so you decided to set him up with me.

Yeah, that came out wrong.

Sorry. Will you come out anyway? I'll buy you a drink.

I'm not coming anyway. I'm too embarrassed.

-[Billie] You shouldn't be embarrasse -I'm gonna go.

Sorry, Ange.

[Billie] I guess in hindsight,

I realized that, you know, I wasn't my best.

The best person that I could be.

We both went through best and worst a lot of times.

Yeah, but for me to do what I did.

That's the least proud of myself I've ever been.

Well, I'm glad you're happy now.

So...

Do we need to put the house on the market?

It'll help.

-You want to? -Yeah.

Sure.

[sighs]

[heartbreaking music]

[Cherie] Martin.

-Morning, Cherie. -I think you've got a patient

[Martin] Yes, quite right.

Hey, uh, how're you going today?

I'm not sure, ah...

I think we might be deluding ourselves

into thinking that Operation "Name It" might work.

Give it time.

[Martin] You know, Cherie...

[Martin gasps]

I don't think there is any way we can solve this.

I want you.

And ignoring it doesn't seem to work.

And mending it only seems to make things worse.

Yet my biggest fear

is that you'll leave again.

Well, ahem, Mrs. Hollands awaits.

[door clangs]

-Hey. -Hi.

-Leo, sorry about before. -Oh.

-Completely forgotten. -Really?

Yeah. Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Nina laughs]

I appreciate the attention to my love life but...

You don't really?

Nah, probably not.

I--I should have asked if you are interested in dating at all.

I am. I just, ah--

You know, those things there's always so much pressure on them, so...

Down the block, have you?

Oh, barely a day goes by without a blind date.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hi! -So I'm done for the day.

[Nina] So am I.

[Thomas] And I'm also a child free.

So am I.

[Thomas] It would be crazy to waste such a rare event.

Ludicrous.

Thanks for lunch.

That was good. Good to see you--

-before tonight. -Yeah, you too.

I didn't really ask, how...

-Mimi is. -She's good and...

Yeah, she's good.

She the love of your life?

I'll, um...

-see you tonight. -Mm-hm. See ya.

[instrumental music]

[Nina] Zoe's out with dad.

There's a ridiculously hot man

waiting at your door.

Just put everything else aside and focus on this.

-Hello. -How are you?

[smooch]

[Nina chuckles]

[door slams]

[Darcy] Donkey.

Where is he?

He's hiding, isn't he?

Donkey.

[panting]

[moans]

No. no.

Can't find this donkey.

It's not here, darling.

[Zoe coos]

[Nina] Oh!

[squeaks]

Is that?

[both moaning]

[Thomas] Oh!

[moaning continues]

[Zoe babbles]

[Zoe cries]

[Zoe giggles]

That was a child.

[gasps]

[giggling continues]

[Nina] Is anyone there?

Oh--oh, dad.

Hello. You're home.

Yeah. [chuckles]

[Zoe giggles]

Um, you don't have to go straight away.

I should.

We were just, um, looking for Zoe's donkey.

[Thomas] Um...

I better get Rocco.

-Uh, you've got kids too? -[Thomas] Yeah.

-[Thomas] One. -[Darcy] Oh.

[clanks]

I'm so sorry about that. I had no idea.

That's--it's fine.

Do you wanna come for a drink tonight to the pub?

I'm thinking, if you feel like it...

Oh, yeah yeah yeah. Maybe.

Keep it on, if you want.

Yeah, um, okay.

Bye.

-[Thomas] Bye, Mr. um, Darcy! -Ah, um...

[door opens]

[Nina exhales]

[door closes]

[sighs]

-Darling, I'm sorry-- -Let's never talk about it again.

Good idea.

You haven't talked about him much.

Oh. Well...

-early days. -Huh.

But you are serious?

Yeah. Um, I think.

Why?

Um, nothing. I--I'm just surprised.

-What? -Well, he just sort of...

scuttled away.

I mean, why didn't he stay for tea?

I think I'd scuttle away too.

If I was caught having sex with someone's daught--

[sighs]

[Jimmy] You ready?

[bag shuffles]

How was lunch?

[exhales deeply]

It was good. Yup!

It was good to see her.

Right.

You know, seems really happy

and together, which...

which is good.

Yeah. Yeah. She is.

I guess.

Lawrence is a really nice guy.

Um...

safe...

and nice, so that's good.

I mean, he's not gonna write a song for her or anything like that, but...

We--we--we don't have to go out to drink tonight, mate. It...

it might have been a bit ambitious to organize something

the night you get back in, so...

I'll be fine.

It'll be fun.

Yeah. Then again, it might be good

to get everyone together in the same room, old and new.

Like that time you see your old board

and--and you think,

"I rode some great waves on that thing."

There hasn't been a better board since.

I wish it didn't break.

When I was dumped...

on the rocks.

Am I the old board in this scenario?

Yeah. I-- I kinda lost track in the analogy halfway through.

Nah. You got it back.

Thanks.

[Billie] We had a really good chat.

Eventually, really, really normal.

Like, friends normal. Like we could be friends one day.

Like we're friends.

Sad friends.

We even talked about, um, Lawrence

and Mimi.

Oh, that's--that's good,

-isn't it? -Yeah.

It just seems that we got there pretty quick.

-Should it be that quick? -I don't--I don't know.

Is that all it takes to get over

the most important relationship in your life and move on?

-So you talked about Mimi? -Yeah.

A bit. A lot. What was there to say?

[Nina] Probably a bit more than he did.

He said he saw you this morning.

Uh, yes.

Yeah, he did. I--I--

Not for very long, I just dropped in to drop something off.

Sorry, I should have told you.

That's okay. I just wonder if you thought he seemed normal?

-Ah! Yes, yeah, yup! Yes. -[cell phone beeps]

-Ah, Leo is back in. -What?

He said he wants to meet Ange at the pub tonight.

I don't know if she'll want to now.

They could be perfect and happy.

I'll just tell her that he thought he had something else on.

Should tell the truth.

Hi, Ange.

Yeah, guess what?

-[Darcy] Yeah, here. -[Jimmy] Thank you, daddy.

-[Mick] Great to see ya. -[Darcy] Cheers!

Oh, there you go.

-Back for long? -No. A week maybe.

Oh, it's not long enough.

But I have to finish with the rest of the tour.

Tour here.

Actually, Rossana wanted to do some gigs while I was back.

Come here, you big s--

Good to see you, Cherie. How are you?

It's so good to see you.

[Jess] What am I doing here?

I don't even know Mick.

Ah, don't worry about it.

This family' s like a bath plug, they suck you in.

Before you know it, you're having one of their babies.

-[Leo] So, is--is Thomas coming? -No.

-I don't--I don't think he can make i -Oh, boo him.

Oh, I don't think he is really ready for this.

Actually, yes, I think, I can understand that.

[laughs]

-[Nina] Oh, Ange. -Hi. Is Billie here?

No. She's on her way, but,

-This is Leo. -Hi.

-Oh, hi. -Hi.

-Hello. -You're a bit curly.

-Oh. -Leo sounds like a straight-hair name

I prefer straight hair. Doesn't matter.

Uh... Would you like a drink?

-Sure, I'll come to the bar. -Okay.

Or...

-No, I will. -Do you wanna? Yep. Are you...

-No, I'm fine. You go. -Okay.

Ah.

Thank you. Tah.

-Cheers. -Oh.

[Leo] Ah!

Listen, I'm sorry that I said no for the date early.

It wasn't you.

You know, it really wasn't. You're lovely.

You're gonna say, it's not you, it's me.

No. It--it is you.

Sorry, that's a terrible joke.

I didn't mean that at all.

-Sorry. -Do you not like blind dates?

No, it's not that.

Uh, but I'm just not--

-Interested? -No.

Yes, yes.

In theory.

-But... -But that is not me.

So, you're seeing someone else.

No.

Were you hoping for someone more male?

No!

No, honestly.

So we're breaking up before we've ever met.

I'm sorry. I don't really have an answer.

-But I'm just trying to-- -Make one up?

No.

Okay, can we pretend that I didn't say no today?

No.

No.

-Maybe she changed her mind? -No, she's coming.

With Lawrence.

Oh, right.

Great. [chuckles]

Mick, how was lunch?

Lunch was good.

I think. I didn't say anything.

-Hey, we miss you. -[chuckling]

So, what are you doing over there? Is it worth it?

[Mick] I don't honestly know.

[door thuds]

[door creaks open]

[door slams shut]

[Billie whispers] You get the same.

[Nina] Here we go.

Hey, you must be Mick.

Um, uh, meet Lawrence. Lawrence, Mick.

Yeah, how you doing?

Nice to meet you, finally.

[Darcy] Uh, drink?

-Yeah. You want a drink? -Yeah.

-What would you like? -Um... Just...

Just what you'll have.

-How are you coping? -Hey. Good.

Pretty good, I think. Yeah.

Actually, I'm not sure. I don't think Ange is a fan.

It's hard being the new guy.

-Hm. -They keep talking about you.

Take it from me.

I don't think everyone is talking about me.

You'd be surprised.

Oh, we wanted to meet you.

You're a brave man.

Am I?

Well, Patrick was a real presence.

Not that you're replacing him, of course.

Well, no. I'm not an anesthetist.

No. No.

You don't have to be in medicine to be in the family.

-Although, Nina and I are. -Hm.

And Zara.

And Jimmy did a first aid course.

Oh, right.

No, I just mean that Patrick is still...

He must be everywhere. All the time.

-In the hospital? -No.

Well, yes, but around Nina.

-Everywhere. -Mm. Mm. Well...

[sighs]

Who's Ange?

-Pardon? -You said, "Ange is not a fan."

No, uh, uh, tonight was kind of a blind date with her.

Nina set it up.

-You're not Thomas. -No, I'm Leo.

I work with Nina.

Oh!

Well...

I thought you were Thomas.

Strange guy.

Made me think he was Thomas.

[Darcy] Hey.

[sighs]

Nina, I am so sorry about, you know--

Oh, we promised we'd never talk about it again.

-We did, and we won't. -Uh.

It's just, um. You know.

Bit of a shock to see you with someone else.

Well, it's not easy for me either, dad.

I know, darling. I know. I know.

I'm sorry.

For what's it's worth, I think it's wonderful.

It's very wonderful. Very brave, important step for you.

[breathes deeply]

And we all miss Patrick.

Yeah.

-[Thomas] Hi. -[Darcy] Oh.

Hi. You came!

Yeah, I did.

Thomas, good to see you again.

-Yeah. -Dressed this time.

Ah!

Um.. Oh, well, why don't you come on in?

The whole family is inside.

Great.

Oh, did I mention that the whole family was gonna be here?

No! You did not. [chuckling]

Um, listen, I can't stay long, I'm afraid.

Yeah.

Wow, you are big, aren't you? [chuckles]

[Nadine] Nina tells us you work in construction.

[Thomas] Yes...

[laughing]

[Nina] What am I doing not telling her?

She has to know.

Doesn't she?

-[Leo] Here. -Thanks.

-Welcome. -[Nina] Cheers.

[Billie] And when he chews his lip, nearly pops up in there.

Can I ask your advice?

Yes, I'm a great advice-giver.

But I can't anything specific, and I can't name names.

Challenge accepted.

If you knew something about someone close to you,

but telling them could jeopardize their relationship

because it's a previous relationship.

-You should absolutely tell them. -Really?

Yeah, holding back the truth will only lead to...

extreme badness.

Maybe it's not for years,

but you will live with the dread of i knocking on your door.

And that's enough to ruin your sleep.

[chuckles] Wow.

-Can you tell I, too, once said nothi -Mm-hm.

[loud knocks]

-Martin, hi. -Zara.

I hope I didn't disturb the little ones.

No, i just put the last one down.

[low-toned] They're all quiet.

Oh.

Mind if I come in?

Mass baby-sitting.

I see. Yes.

Do you want tea?

No. No, no.

-Water? -No.

-Wine? -No.

-Martin? -Hm?

-What are you doing here? -I thought, perhaps, I could assist.

Well, that's very lovely, but they're all asleep.

Oh, yes.

I thought, perhaps, you would like to go to the pub.

What? Why?

Zara, I just feel like I need a little time...

Away from Cherie.

Precisely.

There was really no other place I'd like to be.

Okay, sure.

I mean, if you're sure, I'd love to go.

Okay.

I'll heat up some milk.

-Martin? -Hm?

You do know there are five kids here?

-I'll be fine. -Okay, great.

[bag clatters]

[thuds]

[Billie] You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

What?

I can see the connection between you two.

But it's hard to describe it.

Even though it's over, it's still there.

Well, it's okay, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, it's to be expected.

Actually, it's a relief in some ways.

[gasps]

They make perfect sense.

I always thought that you two made more sense than anything in the world

Yeah, I fucked up the timing.

She's happy.

I'm not gonna disrupt her life when they're so obviously into each other.

But you still love her.

[pats]

-Bye, guys. Bye. -See you.

-Oh, you're off. -Yeah, yeah, I should go. Um...

Um, we should get away for a weekend some time,

just the two of us.

Well, that'd be wonderful.

Uh, thanks for hanging around.

I hope you weren't interrogated too much.

-Well... -Oh.

-Okay, okay. Bye. -Oh.

I suppose you'd call it the history of unrequited love.

You know on these lonely nights we get to spend together...

[knocks]

[doorknob clicks]

-Oh. -Oh.

You're here.

Uh, yes. Relief babysitter.

-You're early. -I--I did the cheeky backdoor.

Right, I'll get my things. Uh...

All right.

Our agreed parameters don't quite cover this situation, do they?

Alone together in a house.

At night.

Yes, supposed you can't prepare for everything.

No, I suppose not. Right.

-I should go. -Mm-hm.

Um, see you at a... See you at work.

[smacks]

I should tell you that I am...

in the midst of a rather severe Cherie attack.

I shouldn't... be doing this.

No, I'm...

-Fuck it. -Yeah.

[smooching]

[moans]

[clattering]

[playful music]

[Cherie moans]

[door slams]

-See you, Nins. -Bye, Mick.

-Good to meet you, Mick. -You too.

-Take care. -Yep.

[chuckles]

-Well, we did it. -We did.

So, um...

Wanna meet at storage?

-Yes, that's great. -Right.

-Bye. -See you.

[glass clanks]

[Leo] Hey, thanks.

[thuds]

[glass clinks]

Four ounces cranberry juice, 2.5 Jack Daniels and half brandy,

shaken vigorously over ice. Thank you.

[both] Heart breaker.

Indeed.

[ice clanks]

[Billie whispering] Good night, baby. Night, darling.

She's almost down.

[door shuts softly]

Um, how--how did Lawrence go tonight?

He's fine.

As always, just completely unruffled and fine.

And you?

I feel okay.

I just...

Lucky, you know, I should thank the universe for Lawrence.

And you.

And everyone.

[cooing]

Uh, Leo told Ange that she's lovely.

But that he's too hung up with someone else to get involve right now

Oh, he didn't. That's his ex.

Yeah, but he could have mentioned something earlier.

A bit of honesty.

[Nina] Honesty.

Now's the time. Tell her.

You're staring me like you wanna say something.

Mick broke up with Mimi.

What?

He told me today.

I--I didn't know whether I should tell you

or whether I should leave him to deci whether he wants you to know.

Which he obviously doesn't.

Why did you tell me?

Because I...

I didn't think it was fair that I kne something like that and you didn't.

I--I don't wanna change things for you.

I know you're happy, but--

You have.

You've changed everything.
