- It is with great pleasure that I introduce

Professor Margot Lee.

You are so accomplished.

- Oh please, but look at you.

You're practically running this hospital.

- The panel has deliberated and it's not gonna go your way.

Your application was unsuccessful.

- Were you looking at her? - What?

- I'm just gonna- - It's so confusing.

I can never tell what you're thinking.

- I want everyone here to know that I've fallen

head over heels for this woman right here, Billie Proudman.

- I thought I had this, but he's good.

He's really good, mate.

- I will never forget you.

- As of this moment, I declare that the game is still on.

- What does that mean?

- It means I have to concoct another elaborate plan

to make sure that I win.

- I had to come home, needed to know where you were at.

You and me were 10 years, Harry.

What are you two? Zero.

- Oh right, so we're just gonna pretend

that it doesn't bother you

that everyone still prefers Georgie?

- I love Nina, we have a future together.

You need to decide whether you wanna get on board.

- If you found out you were pregnant right now,

how would you feel?

- I think I'd feel really happy.

- I think I would too.

Oh wow, oh my God.

(soft gentle music) - A baby, our baby.

You're gonna be a dad, Zoe's gonna have a sibling.

We'll be a family of four.

- And I'm gonna have my first niece, or nephew.

- And I'm going to have a granddaughter, a real one.

- Is this your first grandchild?

- Yes, first one.

- Oh Mom, this is Geraldine, Nina's mom.

- Oh. - Hello.

- Do we really have enough room in our family

for all these new people. Nina?

- Shh. - We don't have much choice.

- Of course we have room.

This baby will bring us all together, won't it? (gasping)

(horn honking) - Oh.

- Taxi. - Taxi, that is my taxi.

- Say hi to Sydney. - Mm, mm.

Hey, should we tell?

- Not yet. - Not yet.

- Mm-mm.

- We need another word for it.

- Pretzel. - Pretzel?

I can't believe we're pretzel. - Neither can I.

- Bye Zozo. - Bye.

- Got your phone? - Got my phone.

- Got some socks? - I have socks, come on.

Hey, let's not till anyone yet.

- Oh, I'm not gonna tell anyone till you get back.

But then I think we should have an announcement.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Well, this is the first pretzel in your family.

It's a big deal.

We could have both sides over and tell them together?

- You don't wanna wait until 12 weeks?

- Billie knows, so the fire's not completely contained.

We'll just keep it small.

I can ask Brody if she'd look after the kids.

- Yeah okay, sounds good. - Okay.

Okay invitation, keep it small.

"Dear Crewes and Proudmans," no.

"Dear families," (groaning) too much.

"Hi all, we're hosting a dinner

to connect and, and reconnect, restore and,"

awful, awful, awful.

"Dear everyone, we've decided that it's time

for both our families to meet, because it's so important

we're all connected," is it?

No, no, just keep it simple, sound relaxed.

"Just thought we'd invite you all

over for dinner Sunday night at 6:00.

Let me know if you can make it," done, done, easy, oh.

- Hello? Willy, Willy, Willy, Willy.

- Hey. - Zara, looking good.

- Thank you.

- Zara's back in med school.

- Oh. - I've gotta go, the boys.

- Fed, clean, getting dressed.

- Should I go and- - No, go.

Bye, you'll be amazing. - Thank you, bye.

Bye. - Bye, good luck.

- Thank you. - Sorry, is this a bad time?

- Not at all.

- Okay, so I'm just on my way to Kerry's work-

- Mm-hmm? - With these.

Two tickets to Fiji, leaving this afternoon.

- Wow, okay impulsive, Fiji. Why?

- I don't know I, Kerry wanted to be quiet

when Jess got pregnant.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but I just wanna do

a grand, impulsive gesture to say,

"We are still solid, she is my number one."

So I just bought them, then realized

I don't even know if Kerry has a passport,

and I've got 28 minutes before I can't change the ticket.

- Mm, mm. (text dinging)

- You got a passport? - What?

(text dinging) - Sorry, not you.

(phone ringing) - Hey.

- You're asking on behalf of Will.

- Yep. - He's taking her

on a surprise trip to Europe.

- Yeah, but not Europe.

How do you do that?

- Japan, Shibu Onsen. - No.

- Maldives. - Fiji, this afternoon.

- Fiji, mm. - Good idea?

- Oh hi Will, no that's a great idea.

Romantic, it's just what she needs.

- [Jimmy] Anyway, we need to know like now,

otherwise he can't cancel the ticket.

- So how are you gonna give them to her?

- Ah, I don't know.

- [Billie] Were you just gonna turn up over here?

- I was going to, yeah.

- It's not good enough, think romantic.

- [Jimmy] Can you just find out if she has a passport?

Then we can think about the delivery method.

- On it.

Hi. - Hi.

- I was wondering, have you ever thought

about recruiting from overseas?

- For this contract? - Or any.

- Only if we need to, it depends on visas, and budgets.

- You should go, line up some contacts.

- Where?

- [Billie] Have you ever been to Singapore?

- No, I have not been to Singapore.

- Hong Kong, Mumbai, Auckland?

- Why the a sudden interest?

Are you angling for a work trip?

- No, I just wondered if it was something

you'd ever thought about.

You know, broadening the horizons,

and do you even have a passport,

or do you need me to organize one?

- Oh no, I've got a passport.

I've just never thought seriously about expanding,

when we're so- - Okay.

- Today is just another day. - Today is just another day.

- Out of hundreds of other days.

- Out of hundreds of other days.

- You just have to go to your lab and then go home.

- Yep. - What's going on?

- Oh, it's Zara's first day back at med school.

She's freaking out. - Ah.

- We've got a first day nerves checklist.

- You feeling better?

- I think so.

Oh Nina, put us down for a yes to the family dinner.

- Oh, great. - What family dinner?

- Oh we're just having a, a little,

bring the families together together,

the Crewes and the Proudmans.

Shit, shoulda put Cherie on the list.

- Didn't get the email.

- So much for keeping it small.

Didn't you? Ah, well I'll check the list.

- What am I, chopped liver?

- Oh, I didn't think you'd wanna be involved

in something so family. - Yeah I would.

- Okay, well I'll send you the details.

(knuckles knocking) Come in.

- Nina, you're here. Great.

- Margot, what are you doing back?

- Well, I was in town for a board meeting.

In fact, I've just come from there.

- Oh.

- It was to confirm the new head of obstetrics.

- Oh right. I, I didn't know you were involved.

- Well no, well it was complicated,

but I wanted to come straight down

and let you know in person.

- Ah, let me know who it is?

- Yes, you have no idea about the machinations

going on in the background on this, but it got a bit messy.

There was one successful applicant,

and there were appeals and objections,

and independent assessors. - Oh.

- It's been a really heated topic.

- [Nina] They changed their minds?

- They wanna appoint you head of obstetrics, after all.

- (shouting) Whoo, hoo-hoo!

- The long and the short of it is,

I have been appointed the new head of obstetrics.

We'll be working together, Nina.

- [Nina] That's impossible, gosh, react. (chuckling)

- Well, Isn't that something?

- Not impossible, actually happening.

Be happy, quick, quick.

Happy, I, sorry I didn't realize that you were even-

- I know, I know, it was a last-minute thing.

- Oh, (chuckling) say more.

Wow, wow. Congratulations. - Well, thank you.

- No, thank you for letting me know.

I mean, that is wonderful news, it's wonderful. (chuckling)

(phone ringing)

- Hi, - Hi, pop quiz.

Who won the rugby sevens gold medal

at the Rio Olympic Games?

- Oh, I don't know.

- [Jimmy] (chuckling) Which country got their independence

from the UK in 1970? - Um.

- Suva is the capital of which-

- Fiji. - Oh, correct.

Plane leaves in three hours.

- (laughing) What?

- Come on, the taxi's waiting.

- Oh, but I have to, oh-

- I'll look after Greg. - Are you sure?

- Oh, bye. - Bye, bye-bye.

- Let's go. - It's so romantic.

Oh I don't believe it.

(Will and Kerry chattering)

(phone ringing) - Hi.

- I know how to end this. - End what, sorry?

- You sound busy, are you busy?

- Oh no, it's nothing.

Margot Lee got the head of obstetrics job.

- Hey, your mentor slash professional crush?

- Yep. - Bastards.

- No, no, it, it's good, I think.

I'm, I'm happy about it.

Anyway, what were you saying?

- End game with Dan.

I'm gonna win with a grand sweeping romantic showstoppers

so big, no one would ever think to go that far.

- Gosh. - Oh God,

what was that '80s movie with Michelle Pfeiffer?

Damn, John Malkovich, so heartbroken

she couldn't get outta bed. - Not sure.

- Like that with bells on, "Dynasty."

I'm gonna be reborn, maybe with smoke.

- Mm, sounds great (chuckling), I think.

- Still working out the details.

I've gotta go, but I'll talk to you soon.

- [Nina] Okay, bye.

(soft curious music) (phone buzzing)

- Oh, Kim speaking. - Kim, it's Billie, Proudman.

- Billie, I don't have your number in my phone.

- [Billie] I've called you before.

- No, we have zero phone history.

- Anyway, if I asked a favor but you can't tell Nina,

would that be okay with you?

- Love it already, what is it?

- Okay, I need a hospital bed, unofficial, hour tops.

- [Kim] For a photo shoot?

- It's sort of hard to explain.

- A hideout? - No.

- Sex fetish? - No.

- Well if you come in tomorrow around 2:00,

I've got a ward upstairs that's being reconditioned,

hasn't been reopened yet.

- Great, can I have a heart monitor?

- No. - Drip?

- No. - Stirrups?

- [Kim] No.

- [Geraldine] You seem anxious.

- Oh, just trying to get my head around some work news.

- I don't want to make your day worse.

- Please don't.

- But I do have news that will shock you, all of you.

- Ah, of course you wanna start with me.

- Well, you're the obvious choice.

- Well, it can't be as shocking

as the Marjorie threesome night.

- Oh, much more.

- Or when I found out that Dad wasn't really my dad.

- On a par.

I'm seeing Phil D'Arabont.

- You're joking? - No, I'm not.

- She's serious.

You've gotta summon a positive response.

No, no, no, no, no.

- I'm afraid so. - How did this happen?

- He persisted, over years. (chuckling)

- But sorry, it's, it's Phil D'Arabont.

He, he, he's always been (sniffing) sniffing around you.

We've always hated him,

and that's the natural order of things.

- Well, that's run its course. - Run its course?

- I knew you'd overreact.

- I'm not, I'm not overreacting.

I'm just, Mom, if you're serious-

- I am.

- I don't think Billie will ever accept this.

- I am thinking about bringing him to your family dinner.

- Ah, you cannot.

- I know you probably want to keep the evening

uncontroversial and about you.

- Well, it's not really about that.

Well, yes, but actually, yes.

God, can you please do this another time?

Because we have our own announcement to make.

- I just want an opportunity for the family

to see Phil as the sweet, odd, yet caring man that he is.

- Okay Mom, Mom I, I'm serious. Do not bring him.

- Oh, I have to go.

Phil's pushing Zoe on the swings,

and he doesn't know what to do after that. (laughing)

- Fun hands?

- Fun hands, fun hands. (laughing)

Now wipe it down, oh. (phone ringing)

Oh, who's this? Hey.

- Jimmy, I need your help. Are you free tomorrow?

- Ah, yes. Is this to do with your love life?

- Yes. - I am well versed

in assisting you.

- I'm gonna text you a photo of a man,

- Dan, weird Dan?

Why is this happening Dan?

- Yes, I've arranged to meet him at the Union

at 2:00, but you are gonna meet him instead.

- What's his surname? - I don't know.

- What, you don't know?

- I didn't find out on purpose.

I didn't wanna be tempted to Google or Face stalk him.

- (chuckling) Righto, text me the dates.

- Thanks. (soft curious music)

(keyboard clacking) (straw slurping)

(phone ringing)

- Hello. - Hey, good news.

Mom and Dad are up for Sunday.

- Oh, great. They didn't tell me.

- Mm, but Kirsty can't make it.

I'm sorry, she really wanted to come.

- I really think she should be there.

- [Harry] Yeah, it'll still be great.

Just find another time to tell her.

Hey, I'm getting another call, I better go.

- Okay Harry, well I'll speak to you later.

- All right, talk to you later, bye.

- Bye. (phone beeping)

I'll convince Kirsty to come. (phone beeping)

Hi, Kirsty, wondering if you're free for a drink tonight.

- Hi, sorry. - Hello, Elvis.

- I heard you're having a barbie.

I'm fine with not being invited.

- It's family only.

- Yeah like I said, I'm fine with it.

Did I sound sarcastic? I wasn't trying to.

(Nina groaning)

Nina? - Mm?

- So you heard about Margot?

- Yes. Yeah, she told me herself.

- No one stood a chance when she entered the ring.

- Well I, I think it's great. (chuckling)

It'd be good to work with her, someone so accomplished.

- You're actually being amazing.

Oh, that wasn't sarcastic either.

- Elvis, don't tell that I applied though, will you?

- No, of course not.

- I don't think she knows, and it might be

a little bit awkward if she thinks I want her job.

- Okay. - Thank you.

(text chiming) Hm.

(button clicking)

- What's that? - Smoke machine.

Do you know how they work?

Hi. - Auntie Billie.

- Hello, oh you like this way?

You like this way, don't you?

- Jase and I were thinking about finding a place ourselves,

stop being a burden on you.

- I never said you guys were a burden.

- Yeah, well you've picked up two teenagers,

a baby, and now Kerry's dog.

- Well, what would you do? How would you pay rent?

- Jason said he can go to work three days,

look after Bob a couple.

Maybe you could take him for the other day?

And that means I can do school three days.

- You won't finish. - What?

- Trust me, trying to pay the bills is gonna take over.

School's gonna be the first thing to go.

Brody you, you have to go back full time and finish it.

- Well, you didn't. - Yeah, I didn't.

Hmm, look I know, it may seem like a good idea to you,

from where you're sitting, looking at someone like me.

I'm fabulously dressed, successful,

turning heads on the street.

But it took me 20 years to make up for leaving school.

But what I could've done with VCE,

I would've been unstoppable.

- Thank you. (machine beeping)

(smoke hissing) - It works. (laughing)

(footsteps clacking)

(switch clicking) - Hello?

♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪

♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪

- First day done. ♪ Hallelujah ♪

- You did it. ♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪

- Thank you. ♪ Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪

- I love you so much. ♪ Hallelujah ♪

- I love you more. - Hmm.

(horns honking) (patrons chattering)

(soft mellow music)

- Nina, hi. - Hi, oh hi.

How funny I, I'm meeting Kirsty here.

- Yeah, we're gonna see a band together.

She said to meet here first.

- Ah. - Yeah.

- Do you want a drink?

- I, ah, just a mineral water, thanks.

- [Georgie] Can I get a mineral water, Tom?

- [Nina] What was Kirsty thinking?

- Cheers. Harry's away?

- Yes, back tomorrow.

- When the cat's away. (all chuckling)

- Yes, well no not, not exactly.

I just thought it would be nice to catch up.

How are you two?

- We're good. - Yeah.

- Aren't we? - Can't complain.

- I-I'm sorry I can't make the dinner.

- Ah that, that's okay.

But well I mean, it's a, it's a shame actually.

If, if you can find out a way to make it work,

that'd be great.

- Is it for something in particular?

- No, no, well sort of.

We've do got, we've something to say,

something small to say to everyone.

Actually, it's no big deal.

- I'll see what I can do.

Sounds like I wouldn't wanna miss it.

- Well, well, we just love to bring the families together,

let everyone meet each other, and-

- I'm so glad it's all going well with you two.

When I came to your dinner, I didn't think

that you were gonna be around so long.

- Pardon?

- No, I just thought you were like a rebound or something,

but he's clearly committed.

- Yes, yeah, he, we are.

- Sorry, that sounded really bitchy.

I just, I just meant that um,

Harry can close off sometimes.

- What do you mean? - I told you.

- It's just, it's this thing,

it's like he starts out really open, and easy to read,

and then as time goes on, he just sort of closes off.

- Well no his, his communication's always been really good.

Listen I, I might go.

I-I'm not sure any good can come from this.

- Sorry, I'm sorry. Nina, I'm sorry.

We don't have to talk about him.

- [Nina] It's okay.

- I just wanted to reassure you,

that if he did start going all Harry on you,

that's he's still the same,

you just need to steer him a bit.

- Steer him? - Yeah, yeah.

Like do stuff, distract him, renovate.

Go on an adventure to a developing country, or,

Harry's a crisis manager, and if he doesn't have

a crisis to manage, then he creates one.

So you just need to sort of get in there first.

- Mm, okay.

- You just need to understand

that I've got 10 years with him.

- Yeah, you've got 10 years with him.

Well, I've got a baby. (gasping)

- What do you mean?

- We're pregnant. - Oh.

- No, no, no, no, no. It's just early days.

- That is so wonderful.

- [Nina] We're not really telling anyone yet.

- My lips are sealed.

- I just blab on to reassure you,

that we're, everything's, we're, there's,

we've got plenty of distraction.

Harry's not closing off.

- This was a bad idea.

I thought it would be good to normalize you two.

- No, it's not your fault.

We should probably go.

- Yeah, I need to go.

- I'm just gonna grab my card.

- I'm sorry, I, I don't know why I did that.

- Why would you think I'd wanna find out

about it like that?

- I'm sorry.

(soft poignant music) (phone ringing)

- [Harry] Hi, you've reached Harry Crewe.

Please leave a message after the tone.

(phone beeping) - Hello, hi it's me.

I um, I, I just thought I, I'd give you a try,

'cause I, I know you're busy.

Anyway, it's because I, I, I may have just

done something stupid, and in the middle of doing that,

I said something thoughtless, which,

which could possibly mean that your family

never like me, which would be terrible.

It's too, it's too late to cancel

the barbecue tomorrow, isn't it?

I mean wait, is it?

No, we don't have to do that, that's ridiculous.

We don't, we don't need to do that.

Everything's fine actually, it's fine.

Don't worry about it, I'm okay,

and I'll um, speak to you soon. (chuckling)

It's Nina.

(traffic humming)

(soft expectant music)

- Psst. - Kim, are we on?

- Yeah, what's that?

- Smoke machine, I hired it.

- Okay, come with me.

After Cherie and I are on our break,

you got a 15-minute window. - Well, that's tight.

- Yeah well, that's all I can manage.

This whole ward's in the middle of a refit.

This is it.

- Oh, perfect. - What's the plan?

- Okay, I'm gonna be so heartbroken, I've been hospitalized.

- Ah, like Michelle Pfeiffer in that '80s movie.

- Exactly, I'm gonna flatline,

and then the magic will happen.

- Oh. - And I will be reborn.

It's a metaphorical rebirth.

- Hey, here. - Great.

I definitely can't have a heart monitor?

- [Kim] No, you can't.

- I'll get you something that goes beep if you like.

- That'd be great.

- Romantic espionage service, Jimmy speaking.

- [Billie] We are a go, are you with him?

- Yeah, he's just sitting there.

- Great, I'm in Ward D.

Come to Nina's floor and you'll be escorted up.

- [Jimmy] Copy that.

- Are you Dan? - Yeah.

- Hi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt.

I don't have your number.

I'm Billie's brother. - Oh, right.

How you doing? - Not good.

- What is it? - It's Billie.

She's been hospitalized. - Really?

- Yeah, it's pretty bad. - What happened?

- She's been, she's, she's in real trouble, yeah.

At, at, at first we thought she just wasn't

getting enough sleep, but then she started to do things,

like wear her pajamas to work and eat from the, the bin.

And now she's been admitted and she keeps saying your name.

- My name? - Yeah.

- Okay, let's go. - Thank you, come on.

(soft mysterious music)

- Isn't this maternity?

- This is where we meet our escort.

- Are you Dan? - Yes.

- She's calling for you. - Is she?

- Kim? - Dr. Eckholt.

- Dr. Eckholt. - What is it, nurse?

- Ah, her heart rate is dropping,

blood pressure 100 over 50.

- We don't have much time.

(soft mysterious music)

When she came in, she was exhausted.

She quickly spiraled into a state of hopelessness,

and then quickly lost consciousness,

and now she's suffering from bradycardia.

- What does that mean?

- It means her heart is broken.

(machine beeping)

- Can she hear me? - We think so.

- I'm sorry Billie.

I never meant for this to get out of control.

(machine beeping)

Can you hear me? (Billie moaning)

(machine beeping)

What's happening? (smoke machine hissing)

gonna tell me what's going on here?

- Who are you? - I'm head of obstetrics.

- Oh, you took Nina's job. (Kim coughing)

(vacuum whirring)

- [Nina] You're bringing your families together

with food, and wine, and a baby?

Yesterday with Kirsty was a train wreck.

Today, we redeem ourselves.

- Nines? - Oh, Billie.

Where have you been? - Hi, sorry.

Um, I have something I need to tell you.

Is anyone else here?

- Not yet, I'm dreading it, because I,

I've told Kirsty that I'm pregnant.

I also told Georgie. - What?

- I know, I've really screwed up, but I was cornered.

They, they just make me feel so temporary and,

and Georgie's always got her 10 years together.

She was baiting me, so I just, I told them,

and it, it was like landing a knockout blow.

But then I could see how heartbroken she was,

and I just feel awful.

And now Kirsty's probably gone and told the parents,

and it's a disaster before it's even begun.

- I used the hospital for a grand romantic gesture.

- What? - I had a plan.

I was to flatline, and then emerge from the smoke reborn.

But we got sprung by the new you, it's Margot?

She had some Skype meeting and she heard the music.

- Billie, she hasn't even started yet.

(knuckles knocking)

- Is that-

- Billie, today is about Harry's family.

They haven't exactly warmed to me, it has to go well.

- It will. - Thank you.

Put the vacuum away. - Nines, no.

No, no, there there is something else.

I think I told her that you went for her job, I'm so sorry.

(knuckles knocking) (soft expectant music)

- Hello. - Hello, Nina.

Here, these are you.

- Oh, thank you. - Harry here?

- His plane is slightly delayed,

but he shouldn't be too late, come on.

- Hi. - Nina.

(Nina chuckling)

Here we are.

Drew, Jill, this is my sister Billie.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Can I get you a wine or a beer?

- Got any good red? - Mm.

(knuckles knocking) - Oh, I'll get that.

- Russell's on his way in.

I'm sorry Kirsty can't be here.

- Oh, she's busy.

- You have a lovely place. - Oh, thank you.

I've got a good vacuum cleaner.

- Hi, hi, hi. - Hello, hi.

- Mom, Geraldine, Cherie, this is Harry's mom Jill,

and Drew, Harry's father. - Jill and Drew, hello.

- Hello.

I brought bubbles, just in case

this is some sort of an announcement.

- An announcement? - There's no announcement.

- Oh? Well, bubbles never go to waste. (chuckling)

- [Jill] Lovely to meet you.

- Thanks for not bringing D'Arabont.

- Ah well, he's in the car.

- I'm a friend of Nina's. - Mom.

- Now it'll be all right, Nina.

- No, we'll have to tell Billie.

- Now? (Nina scoffing)

- Excuse me everyone, we won't be a minute.

Billie, can we just have a word?

(soft expectant music) - This announcement,

they're not getting married, are they?

- Hmm?

(Geraldine clearing throat) - What is it?

- Mom, would you like to tell Billie?

- Tell me what?

- Mom's decided to force a situation on us,

and now we have to hurry through

what should be a delicate conversation.

- Rubbish, it's, I just thought

that the best way forward was to show you

how it could work, so you don't imagine the worst.

- What is it?

- Mom, say it. Say it.

(scoffing) Phil D'Arabont is coming here today,

as Mom's date. - Ah I'm, I'm sorry what?

- Yes we've been, um seeing each other, and it's serious.

Billie- - No, no.

Sorry, sorry about that, um, um Nina, Nina's.

(Nina sighing) (door clattering)

- And what do you do?

- Um, um, I'm a writer, of erotic fiction.

- [Guest] I love these.

- I don't wanna have an argument about what-

- I can't believe that thing

is having sex with our mother.

- Oh don't, Jimmy?

- Spring roll? - Oh, no thanks.

- Harry'll be here soon. - Oh good.

- Seems to be going very well.

- Yes, just don't talk to anyone.

- [Nina] Phil D'Arabont, in my house.

- [Jimmy] I'm sorry, when did this happen?

- I don't know, Nina knew,

but she didn't thing Mom would bring him.

- No. - Let me talk to her.

- Wait Jimmy, please don't.

Just please, it's just, it's a big day.

- Alert, alert, alert. - Oh, shit.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - I'm Phil D'Arabont.

Phil D'Arabont, although it's actually pronounced D'Arabont.

- Are you Nina's stepfather? - No.

- No, no, no. - No, until recently

he was our mortal enemy. (Nina laughing)

- Everybody has a different father, I-

(Nina laughing)

- Nothing wrong with that.

- Nina, wine? - Yeah, no thank you.

I'm fine. - Do you not drink?

- Yeah I do, yeah. I just don't feel like it today.

- Not pregnant, are you? - What?

- No, no. No, no, no, not at all, no, no.

- Oh my God, you are. - What?

(soft expectant music) - Early days.

- Oh, is that why we're all here?

- Yes, yes, that was, that was the big announcement.

- Wow. (laughing) Congratulations.

- Yes, congratulations. - Good one, Phil.

- Sorry, I-I really, I really didn't know.

- Does Harry know? - Yes, yes.

Of course he knows. - Well, congratulations.

You're going to be a grandmother, okay.

- Drew? - What's going on?

- Nina is pregnant. - What?

- Well, I planned to wait until Harry got here.

- Nines, that is fantastic. - Thank you, thanks Jimmy.

- Is Harry okay with it?

- Yes he's, he's thrilled.

That's why he wanted me to wait until he got here.

He's, he'll be here in a minute.

- Georgie'll be devastated.

- (chuckling) Oh, oh, oh.

- The usual response is congratulations.

- Oh Mom, it's- - Well.

- Drew? - Who's Georgie?

- Do you think we, we could all pretend not to know

until Harry and I announce it?

- Absolutely. - Yeah, yeah.

- Of course, darling. - What's happening?

- Nina and Harry are pregnant. - What?

You gonna keep it? - Yes, of course.

- Well, that was fast work.

- [Jill] She wants us to pretend that we don't know.

- Well, that's stupid. - It's what Nina wants.

- I just wish we'd waited.

- I don't know what I was hoping for,

when they said that you were going to make an announcement.

I thought the very worst thing would be that you're engaged.

But a baby?

- And I suppose you're not going to congratulate her either.

- Oh Mom, would you just leave it?

- No, it's rude. (door clattering)

- Nines, I think Harry's here.

- Oh shit, okay.

Please, please, can we just all pretend that we don't know?

- Boya! (laughing)

- Oh, oh welcome home.

Harry'll be here in a minute.

- Okay, but we've got a bit of news.

Um, one, two, three. - Surprise!

- You got engaged? - We got married.

We did she, she said yes, and we just did it.

- Are you insane? (soft uneasy music)

- So, you're married. - Mm-hmm.

- Without any of us there.

- It wasn't premeditated. - No.

- What, totally spontaneous?

- Yeah, we were on a beach at dawn,

and then there we were signing papers.

(phone ringing) - No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

He can't away from his family.

- Oh God, not now. - Why not?

- [Billie] We need a big event, if you're gonna get married.

- [Kerry] Billie, we've already done it.

- Well, we'll have to do it again.

We'll have a do-over wedding. - A do-over wedding?

- Is that really necessary? (door clattering)

- No. - Yes.

We're, we're just thrilled for you, congratulations.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

- Harry. - Hey.

- Hello. - Hey.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Did I miss something?

- We got married. - Yes.

- Well, congratulations. - Thanks.

- That's great. - Thank you.

(group chuckling)

- And how about you, how are you?

How was your trip?

- Yes, have you got anything to report? (chuckling)

- You've already told everyone.

- Oh I, I might, I might have. - Darling.

Congratulations, Harry. - it's great.

- My baby, congratulations. - Now she says it.

- Mom, please. - Oh.

(group chattering) (phone ringing)

- (sighing) Margot.

- Nina, have you heard what happened today?

- I'm very sorry that you had to see that.

- It was regrettable.

It's not the way I envisaged being welcomed to St. Francis.

- No, there is some unusual behavior from time to time.

- Nina, is it true that you were an applicant

for my position?

- Yes, but I'm, I'm glad it's you.

- Do you have any ambition in this direction?

- Well yes, I think so, eventually.

- And you're putting that ambition on hold?

- I suppose I have to. (chuckling)

- Nina, I need more than that from you.

I want my senior staff to be excited, energized,

actively taking the initiative.

- I (sighing), I am, I, I will be.

- You will be.

- Yeah I'm, well yes, I'm, I am excited.

- There is an important place for you here on my team.

You're gonna be my eyes and ears on the floor.

I like to keep abreast of my staff.

- [Nina] This doesn't feel right.

- The most efficient way to manage people

is with information, you're my 2IC.

- No, no I'm not.

- Pardon? (soft thoughtful music)

- I'll be handing in my resignation from St. Francis.

(bright upbeat music)
