JOHN: Welcome, everybody, to the
very final commitment ceremony.

NARRATOR: Previously, the surprising
confession from Ollie...

I've got insecurities.

..shed new light on
their relationship.

Not everyone has the ability
to say it.

It's brought you closer
and everyone can learn from that.

But Lyndall and Cameron's future...

There could be times where I could
be three, four months out bush.

..remained uncertain.

I am making a lot of sacrifice

so that you can have the career
that you want.

And once again...

I had the hardest day that
I've had in the experiment.

..emotions ran high
for Alyssa and Duncan...

You didn't say that
you were that upset.

He's telling you now.
He's telling you.

..before Bronte...

I chose to stay.

..and Harrison...

I wrote 'stay'.

..shocked the room...

..agreeing to give their marriage
one final chance.

Tonight, the experiment heads
all over Australia, from Perth...

Chef kiss!

..Brisbane...

Honey, we're home!

..and Darwin.

(SQUEALING AND LAUGHTER)

It's homestays week.

Welcome, welcome.

Over two massive nights,
our couples head back home.

Surprising new connections
will be revealed.

There has been touchdown.

I am officially
out of the friendzone.

But for some...

I came all this way and you
don't even want to kiss me.

Like, what relationship am I
even looking at at the end of this?

It was just a one kiss.

..old habits die hard...

Cam has said this whole time,
"It's gonna be different,"

like, "I'm a different person
when I'm home."

Silly me.

..before troubled waters
for Alyssa and Duncan...

If you think that that was like
a normal or OK relationship,

that scares me.

..sees their plans
for the future capsize.

I'm not gonna sit there.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)

It's the morning after the
final commitment ceremony,

and our strong and steady couple,
Tahnee and Ollie,

are reflecting on their surprisingly
emotional couch session.

I'm very proud of you.

You were just so brave
and, you know, real and raw.

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

Yeah.

No, it made me su--

It made me really uncomfortable
saying that stuff

but, I guess, that's what
you gotta do in this experiment.

You gotta get raw
and you gotta get real.

And, yeah, no, it was...

Yeah, yeah, mm, yeah.

For Ollie, Tahnee spending time with
Rupert in the partner-swap challenge

stirred up
some unexplored insecurities.

What makes you think
that you're not good enough?

Well, this...
Like, I think...

Like, I...

Yeah, I...
I...

I think I feel that in every facet
of life quite a bit, at times.

And Ollie's vulnerability
won not only Tahnee's heart...

Ollie, you are more than good enough
for me,

so please don't feel that way.

..but also the respect
of the remaining couples.

He's so mature and it's so, like...

Guys think that
that'll scare girls away

but it actually makes girls,
like, be able to do our job better,

which is to, like,
look after you guys.

I'm really proud of him
for opening up about that

'cause I think
I'd get a little bit of that

in past relationships, as well.

Admitting it goes a long way
to, like, fixing the issues.

OLLIE: Yeah, it was full on.

It's a scary thing talking about
that stuff in such a public forum,

and it irks me a little bit, it
made me feel really uncomfortable,

but that's what this thing's about,
I guess, in the end.

While Ollie impressed both his wife,
Tahnee, and the group last night,

Bronte and Harrison
left all with a sour taste.

Is almond milk alright?
Almond milk is fine.

OK.

After both Bronte and Harrison

threatened to leave the experiment
last week,

their decision to stay
left everyone baffled.

I really want to show him where
I'm from, so I chose to stay.

I wrote 'stay'.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Two dinner parties in a row,
you said openly to us

when Bronte was not there that
you are 100% done, you are leaving.

It's very contradicting.

We own our shit.
Yeah.

Like, we own that things
aren't perfect.

We don't try and paint a picture,

and everybody's like, "Oh, my God,
why are you guys together?"

And I'm like,
"'Cause no relationship is perfect."

Yes.

Harrison and I fight
and we genuinely disagree,

but then we come back together
because we want to.

That simple.

No matter how many times I've tried
to explain my feelings for Harrison

and how they progress and how we did
have chemistry at the wedding...

..to have people still question me
and question why I'm here, it's...

Harrison says it a lot,
it's deflection and projection,

and he's right.

Favourite part last night was Evelyn

had an opportunity to sit down
with the experts for the last time,

and really get over
her relationship issues,

and then she sat there and goes,

"I'd like to address someone,
Harrison."

And I was just like, "Oh, my God."

It's extremely contradicting.
Mm.

You know, it's...

She's never once voiced her concerns

about how her and Rupert
are ever gonna progress.

It's everybody else's relationship.

Only goes to show that
she's just playing chess in here.

Mm.
Right?

And she's going for the king.

Not all kings wear crowns.

Some wear backwards hats.

With one week left
in the experiment,

our couples are entering
the final chapter, homestays.

Alright, let's start with
the most important thing.

Shoes.
Yep, agreed, most important thing.

Shoes.

Babe, I was talking
about the lingerie.

We'll get you some pho
in your belly.

Why do you keep smelling
all my clothes?

JOHN: The homestays have always been

an essential part of the
Married at First Sight experiment.

TAHNEE: Yeah, boy, packing those.

That's for the beach stroll,
those ones.

Spending a week
in a new partner's world,

meeting their friends and family
and seeing how they live

can be a transformative experience
for all our participants.

You'll be great.
They'll love ya.

Yeah.
Just be yourself.

JOHN: For those who struggle

with the confines and constraints
of the MAFS bubble,

returning to familiar territory
can be a chance to reflect

and open up new avenues
for affection and communication.

LYNDALL: Um...

What kind of outfits
am I gonna need?

Like, dinner party outfits?

Yeah...
(LAUGHS)

A pair of Canterburys,
a singlet and a pair of thongs.

Is that the uniform of Darwin?

That is the Territory in a nutshell.

Genuinely, the biggest struggle,

and we've had a lot,
has been living in this apartment.

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

Cam is not used to
living in a city.

He's used to being outdoors
all the time.

And I think that just, like,
builds up a lot in him.

Cam's struggles with urban living
have tested not only his patience...

It's been a challenge.

CAM'S MUM: Look at you, you're
locked up here, it's horrible.

..but have also put pressure
on his relationship with Lyndall.

After being in here for a month,
and having a wife,

a hug really wouldn't be
that much of an ask.

You know?

I think I'll take one nice outfit
and the rest'll be...

Look at that, done.

I guess my theory at the moment
is that we're gonna go to Darwin,

Cam is gonna be his best self,
his happiest self,

because he'll be surrounded
by his support network,

his dog, all the things he loves,

and because he'll be his happiest
self, he'll be his most secure self

and we'll be able to, hopefully,
touch on some of the things

that, in this environment, we
haven't exactly been able to get to.

And the list of challenges
that the couple face is growing

after a revelation about
the extent of Cam's remote work.

Some places I could be 900-plus Ks
away from an airport.

MELINDA: For how long at a time?

There's times where I could be
out there for two weeks,

I could be out there for a month,

I could be out there
for six months to a year.

Hearing the extent
of Cam's remote work,

I actually really don't know
what we're going to do.

So, if, when you come back,
it's to Darwin,

why can't it just be to Perth?

Isn't that what you said?
That's where my career is.

I can't just drop that
at the moment.

I have to work around work.

Cam and I both have really big
things that we need from each other.

I need a partner that
I can communicate freely with,

and is affectionate,

and I think Cam needs me to
make a pretty big sacrifice

for him to be able to have
the career that he wants.

The questions are out,

so we're gonna have to do some work
to get the answers.

There's a lot riding on homestays.

You don't have thongs?

Nuh.

At all?

Nuh, not even back in Perth.

You don't own a pair of thongs?
I don't own a pair of thongs.

Wow.

Our couples are off to see
their partners' home turf...

Ready to bond in Bondi.

I can't wait for you to take me
horseback riding along the beach.

Is that...?

Why do you think there's a beach
in Brisbane?

..with the hope that
this time together will help them

to make one of the biggest decisions
of their lives at the final vows.

(SPIRITED ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS)

But, while most couples are on their
way to their homestay destinations,

back at Skye Suites, Alyssa and
Duncan have yet to start packing.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Wanna talk about last night?
Yeah.

During feedback week,

Alyssa's concerns over what
her future will look like,

managing being a single mother
and being married to Duncan,

were playing on her mind.

We haven't really spoken about that

you think it's a concern that my
child will be my first priority.

Uh, it's not a concern.

I feel like I am
trying to be positive,

trying to give reassurance,

but there's a lot of sentences from
Alyssa about why this won't work.

I think I just need time.
OK.

Bye.
Bye.

I feel more rejected
in this relationship

than any relationship I've been in.

I can't believe
I'm (BLEEP) crying.

And last night
at the commitment ceremony,

when Alyssa found out how rejected
Duncan felt, her defences went up.

I was crying, yeah.

You never told me that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Hearing for the first time
that you were crying,

like, that's a big emotion
to not share with me.

Alyssa, he's telling you now.

He's telling you.

I just feel hurt, really hurt...

..that that was the first time

that I was hearing that you were
really upset and you were crying.

It's like I'm not
getting all of you.

OK.

It feels like you're now hurt

because I was talking
about how I was hurt.

I am hurt.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Well, then, how is that
encouraging me to share my emotions?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

If I boil it all down, it feels like

you're really upset with me for
expressing how I felt on a day.

I'm hurt because
you didn't feel safe enough

to express those emotions
to your partner.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC RACES)

And look what happens when I do.

Don't throw this on me.

That's a dig at me, Duncan.

That is a dig at me.
Do you agree?

Like, I'm asking you,
"What am I doing wrong?"

But you don't feel
comfortable enough

to share that emotion with me.

OK, so, last night on the couch,
when I spoke about how I felt,

that turned into
a very heated discussion.

Agreed?
No, I don't agree.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

We have very
different opinions, then.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

You start to think about
whether your reality...

you're grasping reality
the right way,

and then you go into a mindset
of does this person--

Is this person trying to find things
that they don't like about me?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

We should probably start packing.

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

Homestay week has officially begun.

BRONTE: Welcome to Perth.

This is where I spend a lot
of my wine nights alone.

Mm-hm. Wow!

We both have white bedsheets.

Do we?

Yeah.
Oh, yeah!

MELINDA: Thought I would
show you Brisbane.

LAYTON: Cracking day for it.

From state to state, our couples
are exploring each other's worlds...

You can look to your right
and see the city.

It's actually quite a nice city,
isn't it?

Very beautiful city.

..in the hopes of building a life
together outside of the experiment.

Here we are.

(BIRDS CALL)

(MAJESTIC MUSIC PLAYS)

For Cam, returning to his beloved
Darwin could not have come sooner.

What is this?

With the future of their
relationship in question...

You slit the pig's throat,
stab it in the throat and kill it.

..Lyndall is hoping
their visit to Cam's hometown

will shed light on whether
their lives could be compatible.

We're home,
finally back in the Territory.

Um...

Different vibe to Sydney,
that's for sure, 100%.

(BLEEP), I've missed this place.

Yeah, I know.

It's nice to see you in it.
Yeah.

It's good, it's good to be home.

See if we can settle in
for a few days,

and get to show Lyndall
the Territory side.

But, before taking Lyndall home,

Cam is making a detour to pick up
another very special somebody.

Bodie, Bodie, Bodie, Bodie,
Bodie, Bodie, Bodie!

(WHISTLES)

Good boy!

(LYNDALL CHUCKLES)
Good boy!

Hey, buddy!

Good to see my dog again.

Like, I haven't seen him
in forever long.

I miss him.

What do you think you're doin'?

Hey, Bodie!

Oh!
Ooh, that seat's hot.

It's been a good start,
good start to the day.

Happy dad's home?

Yeah!

Every time I imagine what Cam's life
is like, it's exactly this.

It's gettin' in the cruiser,
Bodie's there.

This is who he is, you know?
It's, um...

He's really happy.

I don't know, makes me feel
a little bit smitten, actually.

Here we go.

Home, sweet home.
Nice!

After you.

Should I take my shoes off?
Nuh, you're right.

Along with getting an insight into
Cam's interior decorating style...

Oh, my God, what is that?

It's a cow, it's a little trophy.

..Lyndall will also be meeting
Cam's flatmates, Cal and Kate.

Good to see ya.
You, too.

Hello.
Hi.

That's Lyndall.

That's Kate.

Good to meet you.
Hello.

Hello, darlin'.
Hello.

Kate and Cal
are like a family to me.

He's cheeky as they come, so am I,

so that's why we really get along,
I suppose.

I hope you're not a vegan.

(CACKLING)

We've got Cam back, yeah,
it's good to have him home.

Well, youse want to get
showered up and that?

I'll show Lyndall the room, I think.
Yeah.

Yeah, yep.

Oh, definitely not the first girl
he's brought home but...

..um, the first relationship
he's been in, yeah.

Very nice.

Make yourself at home.

Fishing rods, perfect.

Of course, of course
we've got fishing rods.

Which one's the best one?
Which one's the best one?

Yeah.
Ooh!

We got...

That's a good Daiwa,
that's a good Revo.

OK.
That's a good rod there, that one.

OK, love it.

Alright, well, I'll use that one
when I go fishing.

You are not using that one.

I don't know, I think
we need to go to the shops

and maybe get him, like,
one or two more fishing rods.

I think that'd be...

You know, just round out
the collection.

Cheers, guys.
Cheers!

Thanks for having me.

That's alright, no dramas.

Cheers to married life, hey?

(LAUGHTER)

I've never been to the
Northern Territory at all.

Well, there are some
very picturesque places.

You might not want to leave

'cause that's what happened to me
seven years ago.

Really?

Same what happened to me
eight years ago.

That's what happens to everyone.

Everyone's, like, here for the
same reason, the outdoors, fishing.

Yeah, I gotcha.

Like, just outdoors, yeah.

You know, if it was to work,

she would have to come to the party
with some Territory traits.

You know, she needs to learn
how to fish and hunt

and be a bush girl, yeah, so...

Yeah, if you're an inside person,
it's probably not for you.

Whilst fitting into Cam's lifestyle
might take some getting used to,

Lyndall's optimistic
that being in his home environment

will finally see Cam be
more affectionate toward her.

I feel like coming to Darwin
means that

not only do I get to see Cam's life

but I get Cam at his best
as my best husband.

He's happy, in his element.

I'm gonna get the things
that I want and I need

and, like, that's the relationship
that I want.

Thought we may as well make the most
of it while we're here.

Show you around, don't piss me off,
I'll feed you to a croc.

Um, yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

You know, Cam's back.

It's alright, I'll watch your back.

(LAUGHTER)

(TRANQUIL MUSIC PLAYS)

After an emotionally charged morning
at Skye Suites,

Duncan is optimistic that homestays
will be the reset button

that he and Alyssa need

to get their relationship
back on track ahead of final vows.

I'm hoping that homestays
will allow us

to just have a lot of fun together

like we did at the start
of the experiment

'cause the last couple of weeks
have probably been a bit tougher.

Duncan!

And hopefully we just have a
great time, and that'll help, like,

you know, both of us remember

all the great times
that we've had together.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm bringing Alyssa into my...
Duncan?

Alyssa!

You're here!
Hi.

How are you?
Good.

Mm!

Unlike our other couples,
Alyssa and Duncan

have the very real advantage of
living just a short distance apart.

It took me a whole 18 minutes
to drive here.

Did it?
Yeah.

18, that's not too bad.
That's pretty far.

I'm so nervous.

So, this is my place.

It's so clean.

It's very Duncan.

Is it?
Yeah, 100%.

It's so clean.

You match your house.

The big reality of homestays

and outside of this experiment
is I have a child.

My house is with my child.

I guess, like, my biggest fear
or, like, my biggest insecurity is,

what will life look like
outside of this?

We're not gonna be together
for 24/7.

We're not gonna have
all that time together anymore

and, if that's something
that Duncan needs,

then, you know, that's gonna be
a real roadblock for us.

And with these fears
so present in her mind,

Alyssa has decided to introduce
Duncan to her friends

from mothers group
to get their take on the situation.

Hi!

How are you?
Hi!

I miss you!
Oh, I miss you.

Yeah, Duncan meeting Natalie
and Nadia is really important.

They are my right-hand gals.

How was your trip down here?
Yeah, not too bad. How about you?

If I'm honest, I do talk to them
quite a lot,

so they know every up, down,
sideways, backwards

that Duncan and I have been
in this experiment.

As a mum, I feel like it's very
important that Alyssa has somebody

that prioritises her,

and is flexible with her situation
with her son,

and I feel like Alyssa maybe doesn't
really know where they stand.

That's what I'm sort of getting
from her.

Do you think that,
like, knowing now,

dating somebody that does have
a child, would you have originally,

like, said, "Yes, I'm happy
to date somebody with a child?"

Yeah, definitely.
You would?

Yeah, nearly all my friends
that were at the wedding have kids.

I'm around kids all the time...

But it's different
when it's not your own.

For sure, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?

I guess the reality of it all

will really come when we're spending
time with each other outside of...

You can say that you're OK with it
but then you really don't know.

FRIENDS: Yeah.

Well, no-one can know anything 100%
until they actually experience it.

So, yeah.

You can only talk about
what you've seen.

So, it's still a bit of a concern.
It's OK if it's a concern.

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS)

How does it make you feel, like,

the fact that you probably
will be second priority?

Oh, that...
That part's fine, actually.

Fine, really?
Yeah.

'Cause that'll never change...

Oh, look...
And you know that?

I knew that from the start.

I think I've said that sentence
to Alyssa

probably 20 times
on this experiment.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Hang on, what are you saying?

In a perfect world,
what do you think it looks like?

Because I'm available every other
weekend and on every Wednesday.

(DRAMATIC BOOM)

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Because I have a child.

Wow, like, that's a pretty key piece
of information which is

how much you can actually see your
partner outside of this experiment.

He doesn't mind 'cause he
can be out with the boys.

(LAUGHTER)

Nuh, I'm just...
I'm just joking.

Would you, like, try to make it work

on the Wednesdays
and every other weekend?

Yeah, easily. I can make that work.

'Stay'.

(LIGHT LAUGHTER)

I don't...I don't know
what to say to that.

Call me a bad person

if, in the heat of the moment, in
front of, you know, three people,

I said, "Yeah, look,
I think that could work."

I'm gonna sit and think about that
a bit.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYS)

It's not about, "Can you fit me in?"

And, like, I don't think
they're the right words.

The words are, like,
"Are you really happy with this?"

Yeah, I'm not sure.

Rupert is settling into
Evelyn's abode in Sydney's CBD,

and, with two very special helpers
by his side,

today he's attempting to
step up his romantic game...

Alright, Mustard and Pickles, I need
you to be my wingman and wingwoman.

..after Evelyn told Rupert
at the final commitment ceremony

of the experiment about her serious
concerns for their relationship.

What do you feel
still needs to be addressed here?

(PURSES LIPS)

I guess me wanting to be courted
and, in the outside world,

if someone didn't really take me
on a date or be chivalrous,

I probably wouldn't
take it any further.

Good boy.

Good girl.

Coming into the end
of the experiment,

I'm really trying to make up
some lost ground

and show Evelyn how much I care,
and just have a lot of fun, I think.

We have a lot of chemistry
when we are just having fun.

But today I've really
put some thought into this,

and I'm hoping there's gonna be
plenty of laughter,

and I really hope that
it can build on our connection.

We've got a little
paint and sip station here.

Oh! That's so cute!

I've got the wine from
the honeymoon, the best drop.

Aw!

You can wear whatever you want,
little dress-up section here.

This is the sweetest thing ever!

Can you paint the doggies?

Yes, I'll put them in with ya.

Yes!
I'll put them in with ya.

The fact that he's organised this
is so sweet to me.

Thanks, darling.

Cheers.

Yeah, that's the look.

That is a great pose.

Evelyn is extremely attractive
when she's posing.

Ooh! Yeah, that works.

Um...

One thing I would say about Evelyn

is it's never gonna be boring
around her.

This is so cringe.
(LAUGHS)

But it does feel like the emotional
connection is definitely growing.

Thank you.
Yep.

Alright.

Rupert's first attempt in wooing me

is definitely not gonna go
not appreciated.

However, I feel like I need
to take control of this date.

Body painting.

(MOCK DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I like to push the boundaries
a little bit,

and I kind of like to see
how much I can get away with.

Yep.
Set, go.

Yep.

Stunning.
Perfect.

In a ideal world where everything
worked out perfectly...

Mm-hm.

..what is your 3-year goal?

Got my own place, my own house.

I'd have, like, my own business

and, yeah, I might have, like,
one little kid on the way.

Wow, that's quite soon.

Well, I want to be a young dad,
I think.

Previously, when I spoke to Rupert,

he doesn't even plan
what he does the next day,

so for me to hear him say that
he actually has a 3-year plan,

like, that's major.

That would be the plan.
What about you?

I want three kids.

Yeah, is this by five years?

Knowing that our key goals
and how both of our futures look

are very similar is a massive thing.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS)

You gonna swap the...?

I knew you were gonna do that.

If I knew painting my face
half green and half purple

was all it took to get a kiss,

I would've done that
a hell of a lot earlier.

It's done!
Wow, perfect.

That could go for thousands.

Cute.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

After stepping up his efforts
to woo his wife, this morning,

there has been a breakthrough for
Evelyn and Rupert's relationship.

Morning.
Morning!

How'd you sleep?

Oh, I slept like a princess.

These two were well behaved
last night.

Me and Rupert
have been intimate, yes.

There has been...

What's the word?

Adult cuddles happened.

There has been touchdown, yeah.

I am officially
out of the friendzone.

No dogs were in the room.

It was a dog-free zone.

You look beautiful this morning.
Thank you, Rupert.

I'm feeling tip-top.

I'm just stoked that
we have got to that level.

I think Evelyn and I
are the best we've been

throughout this entire experiment.

I probably wouldn't have been
closer to Evelyn

if it wasn't for homestays,

and I think me taking
the experts' advice on board

has definitely helped.

So, this far, have I been fitting in
with your life and the pooches?

I think so.
Mm.

I think, in regards to home life,
I think you fit in.

Like, you're super respectful.

Yeah, you're fun to live with.

I haven't left any skiddies yet.
I've been very conscious of that.

(MUSIC WARPS AND FADES)

(EVELYN GULPS)

Still to come, a once-in-a-lifetime
Territory experience...

Whoo-hoo!
(LAUGHTER)

You can see you've come
to the Territory.

..turns south...

It was...
It was just a one kiss.

Yeah, but you never give me any.

It just doesn't make me feel like
you really want to be with me.

..when an old issue raises its head.

How do you think it makes me feel?

I feel rejected
every time you do it.

It was over a kiss.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

NARRATOR:
In Sydney's Northern Beaches,

Alyssa has returned
to Duncan's apartment

after spending the night
with her son.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

It's now Alyssa's turn to meet
Duncan's side of the family...

as they joined by his sister Renee
for coffee.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

ALYSSA: Duncan.

(CHUCKLES) Someone's at the door.

It's my sister!

Renee knows a little bit
about the experiment

and what myself and Alyssa
have been going through.

How are you?
Good.

How are you?
Not bad!

This entire experiment,
I've been trying to work out

how much time we could see each
other outside of this experiment.

I finally got that information
yesterday

but I got it in a public forum.

I didn't get it personally.

(CHUCKLES) Hi!

Mwah!
Oh!

How are you?
Good. How are you? Good.

I want Alyssa to bring up the same
information and get Renee's opinion.

Alright. Have a seat.

Come sit!

Duncan and I talk all the time -

obviously a lot of it being about
this experiment at the moment.

And I think with Duncan and I...
(SIGHS)

..Duncan gives me an opinion
of a male's point of view

and I have a more soft,
emotional female point of view.

So I think Duncan just has me there
for my advice.

What's been happening?

Oh, what hasn't been happening?

Everything.

We did a bit of barbecuing yesterday
with Alyssa's friends.

No! He did not get a grilling.

Searing!

A nice...light sear. (CHUCKLES)

How were the friends?

Ah, yeah, they were good.

Um...
What did they ask?

One of the big things for me, right,

is that, in the experiment, we
spend 24/7 together, which is great.

Um, spend a lot of time
with each other in the real world...

it's not going to be that much time.

Like, because I have my child.

Um, it is gonna be
a bit more sporadic,

maybe, like, every other weekend
and a Wednesday here or there.

But I think the biggest thing

was just, like, how we navigate,
you know, our lives outside of this

with my child.

And you know, obviously my child
will always take first priority,

even if there's something really big
going on in my relationship.

I mean, I haven't asked.
I don't even need you to...

Like you say, it's not like he would
ever want to be put over your son,

it's more it's just understanding
the dynamics of this relationship.

I would hope that, down the track,
that you are living together -

they're a family unit.
Yeah.

If it's gonna be a separate thing,
then... Yeah.

..then I don't, like, in time...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

..in time...
Yeah, of course.

That kind of goes back to, we just
don't have all the right answers

and we literally won't know how it's
gonna look until we get out of this.

If that is, then, the main problem
of your relationship...

then that's actually probably
pretty good,

if that's
all you've got to worry about.

Do you think so, Duncan? I feel
like I'm doing all the talking here.

(EERIE MUSIC)

You're not doing much talking,
Duncan.

Duncan did seem really...

I don't know if it was flat or quiet
or nervous,

but I felt like I was doing
the majority of the talking.

Um, and Duncan was just
kind of sitting back and watching,

and I, you know, I don't know...

I don't know why!

Well...

I am so happy
that you're able to come over!

Likewise.
And it has been so much fun

and your insight
has been really meaningful

and I really do appreciate it.

But I have to cut it short

'cause I have to go pick up my child
from school!

Yes, we're at homestays and I would
love to spend time with Duncan.

But again, like... (GIGGLES)

My child is my priority.

So this is a real-life scenario,

um, that's playing out
right before our eyes.

I've obviously told you
a fair bit about...

my concerns.

Um...

Alyssa gets to decide
when we see each other.

That's based on her schedule.
OK.

I don't get to decide.

Alright? So that's...

I don't get to decide
how much I see someone.

That's a pretty hard thing to do
in a relationship.

Yesterday I was asked about that.

That's the first time
in the whole experiment

that Alyssa has said to me

the really, the real specifics
of how much I could see her.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, probably
because she's worried of...

It felt hard, it felt weird
for her to say that to me

right there in front of her friends.

And so I said,
"Yeah, look, I can work with that."

And look, I hope I can, and I think
I might be able to, right?

So I said yeah.

The reality of it is, like,
that's really hard as well.

There are still
elephants in the room,

so why are you not gonna address the
things that really are the concern

and are, are a worry?

Alyssa breaks down.

But there is... So that I'm scared
to have a tough conversation.

It's happened time and time again
on this experiment.

I literally haven't spoken to you
or nothing.

You don't get it!

You don't get it.

It gets a deeper-seated issue
around being a single mother

that sort of manifests itself
into picking apart my behaviour,

which is not fair.

I have a child.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Please give me a minute. (SOBS)

(GASPS)

(SOBS)

That's the big problem, isn't it,
about...

from what
she seems to be concerned about,

when I kept asking her concerns...
Yeah.

..are about her son,
which is, of course,

but the fact that you're not gonna
see each other that much.

But if 1.5 years or a year from now
you're still not living together

and doing everything
as a family unit,

well then, yeah, that's -
it is gonna be a real big problem.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I feel like Alys has been
really happy and go lucky

in the last couple of days
since homestay.

Um...

but I just think that there's...

in fundamentals to a relationship
that, ah...

they're really important.

Like, still need to be
worked through.

Duncan really needs
to have that time with Alyssa

to have the discussions
about how they resolve things.

Because...

if things are getting put
in the corner of the room,

real problems will start to appear.

Problems don't disappear
if they're not addressed.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Yeah.

But knowing my brother,
he will address it.

Things don't get left,

so Duncan will... (INHALES) ..will
address Alyssa in the right time.

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

LYNDALL: We are off!
CAMERON: No, we're out.

NARRATOR: In Darwin,
Cameron is taking great pride

in showing his wife
some of his favourite sights.

All this goes underwater here.

So much water comes through
this place.

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

And the next stop is
his friend's Andy's house...

where Lyndall will get to meet some
more of his Territorian companions.

Been a while
since I've been to Andy's!

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

Come on! Come on.

Andy - I've known
for the last eight years.

He's one of my good mates.

How ya goin', buddy!
Good, mate. How are you?

Good.
Good to see ya.

Hi. Hey, this is Lyndall.
How are you?

Good. How nice to meet you.
(CHUCKLES)

Come in. Have a seat.
Surprise.

If no-one can find me on a Sunday
afternoon, a Monday or Tuesday,

we'll be at Andy's place.

How's it going?
Good! How are you?

You get on the beers,
we feed the fish,

and we just sit back
and have a barbecue.

The barra here,
you'll get to pat 'em, handfeed 'em.

Just the typical
Northern Territory afternoon.

Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)

That's what we do.

NARRATOR: And Cam and his friends
are about to give Lyndall

a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

to get up close and personal
with some of the locals.

(CHEERING)

Good Territory experience.

Like, it's, you know, you get to see
the fish that we all...

everyone craves to catch -
metre barras.

There are some big fish in there.

We'll just hope that saltwater croc
doesn't come up.

Bah! (CHUCKLES)

They're massive.

You can kind of see them
floating around underneath,

waiting for some food.

Is he in the water? Yep.

(SQUEALS)
(LAUGHTER)

Right.

Don't know if I'll feed one
from my mouth.

It's less about the barra
getting that close

and more of putting fish food
in my mouth, I think,

is the part
that I'm a bit grossed out by.

Oh, it's too heavy.
(LAUGHTER)

These are the little ones.

Hey, hey, give 'em mouth!
Yeah, do it!

Don't wanna be hit in the face.
No, it won't.

You've got a second one coming.
He'll go for it.

(SQUEALS)
(LAUGHTER)

It's alright. They're really gentle.
Honestly. They're used to it.

You'll get a wet face, that's it.
OK, so back up.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE, LAUGHTER)

Oh wow. Love it.
That's how you become a Territorian.

That's it.
(LAUGHTER)

First kiss I got all week.

(LAUGHTER)

Cam can't kiss me but he's gonna be
kissing some fish today,

so it sounds great. (CHORTLES)

Sorry, that was probably mean.

(TENSE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: As Cam's mates
begin preparation for a barbecue,

and despite a fun afternoon
of feeding barramundi,

the mood has taken a sudden turn
for Lyndall and Cameron,

and the pair have snuck away
for a private chat.

(TENSE MUSIC)

It's over a kiss.

Like...

(CRYPTIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In Darwin, as Cam's
friends prepare for a barbecue...

Cooking chicken.

..not far away, a confrontation has
broken out between Cam and Lyndall

over his reluctance to show Lyndall
any affection.

We were just in feeding the barra

and having, like, a bit of a swim.

And then, like, I don't know,

silly old me
had a flashback to the honeymoon

when were, like, in the lake
and swimming around

and, like, I don't know,
Cam was so, like...

affectionate that day.

And then I kind of asked,
"Oh, do you wanna have a kiss?"

And he was like...

you know, like his face was like...

(TENSE MUSIC)

I was like, "Ooh."

I said,
"You know, you don't have to."

He was like, "No, I will."

I was like, "No, don't worry.

"If you don't want to, don't worry
about it." Like, far out!

It was over a kiss.

Like...

Yeah.

This is ridiculous.

Alright, if it's ridiculous then
don't (BLEEP) worry about it now.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

I really didn't think it was...

You know, I was sitting there
feeding fish and... (MUMBLES)

I said I probably could've,
yeah, but...

You know, just excited to be home.
Like...

Like, it's...
Literally, like that,

that moment out there
was exactly like our honeymoon

when we went to the lake
and we were swimming around

and you kissed me hundreds of times.

You didn't even think about it.
You wanted to.

I don't know why you don't want to.

It wasn't a "don't want"...
You don't think about it.

It was just, it was...

But for weeks, it's been
oh, not affectionate.

It's 'cause I'm not home,

I'm not affectionate,
'cause it's environment.

Now we're here in your environment,
you still don't want to.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

I feel like Cam has said this whole
time, like, it's gonna be different,

like, "I'm a different person
when I'm home."

Like, "Everything's good
when I'm home."

Like, "I'm excited to show you me
when I'm home."

OK, now we're home, and...

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Silly me.

How do you think it makes me feel? I
feel rejected every time you do it.

That's not, that's not what I'm...

I'm more than happy
to give you a kiss.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(CROWD HUBBUB)

I just feel like, right now...

I don't wanna have
this little issue...

over you having and meeting
my friends and having a good time.

Yeah, I don't want to either
but it's hard for me to go out there

and just act like
everything's all fine

when I feel like,
"Why the (BLEEP) am I in Darwin?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I came all this way
and you don't even want to kiss me.

Like, what relationship am I even
looking at at the end of this?

It was, it was one...
it was just a one kiss!

Over a kiss!

I'm in Darwin. It's stinking hot.

I've just come here.
My hands smell like fish.

I got kissed by a barra.

And we've been together
for however many weeks now,

eight, nine, ten, whatever it is,

and I'm here in your life...

And, yeah, it's just a kiss
but it's just, like...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It doesn't matter. You can go out
there and just give me two minutes

and I'll be out there and it'll be
like this didn't even happen.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

No, 'cause I wanna walk out
with you.

Didn't want Lyndall to walk up there

in front of all me mates
and all my friends upset.

It was just,
that wouldn't have been right.

So I tried to, you know,
kind of give her a bit of comfort.

I didn't think it was an issue
and I apologise.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

I'm sorry.

Like, I didn't think it was, yeah...

I just, like, I guess, I think
I wanna know that you like me

and I feel like sometimes
I don't feel like that.

And that's, that's all it is.

It does suck seeing Lyndall upset,
it does,

especially when I'm, you know,
trying to have a good homestay.

Like... (SCOFFS)

Like, yeah,
I'm just at the point now where...

You know, you've gotta make
a decision end of the week.

You know, you don't wanna put the
nail on the coffin just yet, do ya?

Right.

Right.

Let's go.

I do really want to enjoy
this homestay.

I just feel like...

it's a bit hard when, like,
I'm trying to think about

what our relationship's
gonna be like after this,

and like,
this is an example of that.

Like, is it even gonna be
that much of a relationship

or is it just gonna be
exactly like this?

Now I've just gotta be, like, OK,

without, like, any kind of movement
on his part to make it work.

Um...

like, Lyndall and I are
two completely different people.

MAN: Yeah, yeah.
Brought up differently.

Yeah, yeah.
You know.

She's a city girl. That's...
Yeah.

I feel like Cam doesn't want
to fight to make this work.

And, like, it doesn't actually
matter what I do while I'm here...

(CHUCKLES)

(CHATTER)

I just feel like
I'm hanging out with a mate.

NARRATOR: In Darwin,

Lyndall is struggling to shake
her earlier argument with Cam

over his reluctance
to show her affection.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

LYNDALL: Logically, I was like...
(SNIFFS)

..Cam said sorry,
he's given me a hug.

Like, we should be all good.

Like, let's just go out
and have a good time.

But I think
I jumped into that situation

maybe before I was emotionally ready
to, like, fully enjoy it myself.

I felt really upset and alone.

NARRATOR: With the guests
having left for the evening,

Lyndall and Cameron are yet
to resolve their earlier tension.

So how's it all going anyway, guys,
since I last caught up with ya?

(TENSE MUSIC)

CAM: I don't think Lyndall's happy.

She don't think
I'm affectionate enough.

Probably been...

our biggest, one of our biggest
issues is me and affection.

Am I wrong?

Well, I think it's the reassurance
that comes with affection.

It's like, Cam's gotta go out
to work again obviously, out bush

with not much signal
for nobody knows how long...

Yeah.
..and that's kind of a massive...

Like...
Yeah. Yeah.

And that's what, how I've ever,
that's how I've known Cam,

is always out bush,
always working and...

You love it out there.
Yeah. Yeah.

That's what you love doing.
Yeah. Yeah.

I don't want him to not do that.
Yeah.

I think it's just like,
when we are together...

like, is it gonna be that good
relationship that we both wanted?

It's just been hard, man.

The jamming everything in...
Yeah. ..with people, take years...

to form and bond.
They don't take years.

And they don't take years
for, like, kisses

and telling that
you like each other.

Like,
that doesn't always take years.

And then the whole thing you told me
the whole time we've been in here

is that once you get home,
you're gonna be good again,

you're gonna feel happy, it's gonna
be different... I am good.

I'm very happy.
And you couldn't be affectionate

because you felt so tense
about the whole...

Well, I don't...
..environment you're in.

I don't think...
And now we're here and I just...

I don't think that was the issue.
I've just never been...

That's what you told me the issue...
No, I just...

I've just never been an affectionate
person. But you were.

(SCOFFS)
Yeah, because I felt pressure,

because I've just met someone
for the first time.

(TENSE MUSIC)

And I think
throughout the experiment

that I have gotten better
with affection.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Um, I didn't grow up with it.

(CHUCKLES) Definitely
didn't grow up with it. But...

you know, some people
are affectionate, some aren't.

I've, I've, I've never been,
this, this affectionate person.

Stop saying that I don't care.
Just 'cause I don't give you a kiss

doesn't mean, I'm like,
"Oh, (BLEEP), I don't like her."

Like... You don't tell me you like
me, so how am I supposed to know?

Well, I don't think I have to tell
you all the time. I like...

You don't tell me ever, Cam, though.

It's not all the time I'm asking.
I might,

I think I might step out of this
one, I reckon. No, you're right.

You can be the middle man.
No, I don't wanna be the middle man.

Yeah. Um...

I didn't see that one coming.

Yeah, real awkward, yeah.

I don't wanna have this conversation
right now but we kind of have to.

If we're gonna keep avoiding it,
what's the (BLEEP) point of even...

We can't not keep... We, we... If...

We have to sort it out,
because if we don't sort it out,

then it's just gonna be
a continuous thing.

The answer is that
you are the way that you are

and I just have to accept that.

So I either
just have to say yes or no,

because there's
no middle ground for you.

Well, I think it's gonna take time,
Lyndall.

Time with you out being regional
and me being in Perth?

No, it's...
Is that when it's gonna be fixed?

No, I just think all this affection
and all these kissings and that,

that's...I've never done that.

Never been in a relationship.
I've never done that.

I've never had to show affection.
You...

And I've never been to Darwin
and I've never kissed a barra

but I'm doing it
because I wanna be with you.

Everything's getting really real.

I feel like I'm staring down
this massive decision

on whether, like, I fully accept the
remote work Darwin, Perth situation.

But if we can't be...

affectionate and good now, like,
what am I actually signing up for?

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

Yeah.

So that's where we're at.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

Like, I really wish he knew
how much it meant to me, doing this,

and being able to do this and being
able to be in this relationship.

We're gonna be deciding real soon
what we're doing,

and if there's any time to show up
and show me what you want,

show me that you do want me,
it's now.

And I'm just kind of like waiting
for that to happen.

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

I don't know. It's just hard
to see me being really, really happy

in that relationship.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

DUNCAN: It felt like you were saying
every second Saturday

and, like, a Wednesday
here and there.

..Duncan addresses
the elephant in the room.

That's the first time
I've heard that information.

That's, like,
part-time relationship.

If you think that that was like
a normal or OK relationship,

that scares me.

And leaves Alyssa dumbfounded.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Homestays are coming
to an end for some of our couples.

And to wrap up their homestay...

Duncan is taking his wife Alyssa
out on Sydney Harbour.

(EPIC MUSIC)

ALYSSA: It is a day for it, Duncan!
DUNCAN: It is, isn't it?

We have been pretty spoilt
on this homestay.

You look very comfortable
behind the wheel of a boat.

Yeah. Driven a few boats before.

Final day of homestay,
and I wanted it to be...

special, something different
for Alyssa.

Northern Beaches living.

Northern Beaches lifestyle.

Yeah, hey.
(GIGGLES)

Who doesn't wanna have
a few glasses of wine

while getting skippered around
on a boat for the afternoon?

(EPIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: But after learning
of how little time

Alyssa would be able to commit
to their relationship,

Duncan wants to air his concerns
before the final vows.

Um...

I feel like homestays has been,
like...

I don't know, the best part
of the experiment for me.

What do you think?

Like, it feels like,
from what you said...

during homestays around, like...

Obviously you told me...

you know, how much time you think...

would be, you'd be available
to a relationship.

I guess that's the first time
I've heard that information.

Like, the real specifics of it.

It felt like you were saying
every second Saturday

and, like, a Wednesday
here and there.

Hmm.

Is that the right way
for me to remember...

Ah, ah... ..the way you said it or
the way that I thought you said it?

So, like, it's tricky, right? Um...

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

So it's, like,
Wednesday, Thursday....

every week

and then every other weekend,
Saturday, Sunday.

But, like, obviously my child
is, like, a huge part of my life...

and, like, I would want to share
that with you... (CHUCKLES)

um, eventually.

Do you feel like you're already knew
that information ten weeks ago

and you didn't wanna share it?

Or is it just something that, like,
takes time to talk about

because it feels a bit sort of...
scary...

Yeah...
..to say stuff at the, you know...

I think...
It's all about timing or...

Yeah, it's definitely about timing.

Um...

(CRYPTIC MUSIC)

And, like, I guess that's just

my biggest part, of, like,
working out, like...

if that is enough time for you

and if, like, you're willing to...
yeah, if you actually do want it

now seeing and understanding
a lot of it.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Having Alyssa say that...

she knew the timing, how much time
she could give someone at the start

but didn't wanna sort of talk about
it till... (INHALES) ..homestays,

like, why tell your partner on
an experiment at the very, very end

that you can see them maybe three
times a fortnight, maybe four?

A lot of people would say that's,
like, part-time relationship.

Why didn't you bring this up
earlier on?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

But why... I don't know.
Like, I'm asking you what...

But why didn't you bring it up?

I felt like if I did,
you would've got really upset.

Well, what's wrong
with getting upset?

Well, I don't wanna put you
in a scenario

where you're really visibly upset.

Why?

Well, would I want...
I, I'm not sure...

Why would I do that? I'm not sure...
I'm an emotional person, Duncan.

Yeah.
Like...

I know that if things get hard,

I'll be unable to talk to her
because she won't want to.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

In the past, I've been frozen out.

I've been rejected.

My behaviour's been picked apart.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Tell me, what do you want, Duncan?

Whether... I'm trying to work out
whether you think...

that the last three, four weeks
was...

Well, what does... Like, why?
Why?

Because if you think that was, like,
a normal or OK relationship,

that scares me.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

It's like, we've just had, like,

a really hard three, four weeks...
It doesn't mean...

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that
it hasn't been great.

Yeah, I agree that
there's been lots of great...

All my questions are coming from
a place of, like...

just understanding
each other's mindset better.

And probably the bigger thing is,
like, what's...

ah, both of ours, both
of our interpretation of like...

what a good relationship looks like.
Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Probably the bigger thing is, like,

what's...both of ours, both
of our interpretation of like...

what a good relationship looks like.
Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Um...
(EXHALES)

God! I don't know.

(EERIE MUSIC)

I think
we've had a great relationship,

and good relationships are always
gonna have really shitty times.

Like, it's really hard for me to...

Like, I feel like
I'm a very emotional person. Yeah.

And you're very, like, literal
and logical, an analytical person,

and like, it's like this.

Do you think
that's something that can be...

like, worked on?

Or do you think it's...
I don't know.

I was prepared to, pff,

talk about the future and talk about
all the great things.

And I was ready to be like,
"Duncan, like, I'm falling for you!"

And like... (SNIFFS)

"I can't wait till, like, see a life
with you and like my child,"

and... (SNIFFS)

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Yeah, we haven't been perfect.
(SNIFFS)

We've had some really tough times
over the last couple weeks.

But that doesn't mean
I haven't enjoyed them.

This is probably the healthiest
relationship I've ever been in.

(SNIFFS)

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

It doesn't feel good when
you try to plan a pretty special day

and then the end of the day is...

you know, finished off
sitting away from each other.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

It's hard.

It's really hard,

'cause there's all these good things
that have happened...

(SIGHS)

..but there's... (SIGHS)

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Yeah, I don't know.

It's, it's tough.

It's really tough.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

VOICEOVER:
This...

Hey!
Hello!

..is...
No, I'm really sorry.

..unmissable.

I just want Cam to tell me
that he cares about me.

Tomorrow...
Ohhh!

Hell hath no fury
like a sister scorned.

Do you understand how narcissistic
that is?

The most explosive showdown...

That is n-
No, it's not incorrect, Harry!

..of the year.

I'm not gonna sit here
and be told...

No, you're not going to sit here...
What happened...

and be held accountable

for being a narcissistic,
gaslighting dickhead!

And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is a coward.

Must-see Married.
