I don't know, maybe two months, three months.
I couldn't bear it if something else happened to one of you.

-Taylor wanted me to.

So, it's okay for him to take drugs as long as he's thinking about it while he's doing it?
If he stops himself when he wants to, then yes.

Well, it is, and it's my fault that she didn't just stay here the first time and it's my fault she called off your London trip.
Yeah.
I think you know I never liked you.
I had an inkling, yeah.
(Henry) It's just that, you know, Mom, she's always been the sensible one.

And I was loyal to my dad.
No, I get that.
So when I found out that you were coming to London I kind of lost it and I told mom that if you two got together, I'd move out.
Traveling the last few months, I've been thinking and, well, she was basically my age when she had me.
She never got to do what I'm doing.
She gave it all up, for me.
I think that this place, and you, might be her chance to have that.
I just hope I didn't screw it up, I'm sorry.
Appreciate that.
Honestly, I think I am the last thing your mom needs at the moment, but the rest of that, I reckon, she'd love to hear that from you.
(fanciful music) ♪ (Eliza) So, we have a deluxe twin suite at the North Adelaide Daydream Apartments.
I'm excited.
♪ Are you alright?
I just really wanted to get to 30 weeks, but I don't think I can do it.
I'm impressed you made it this far.
(Mira) Like, if I can't manage flying pregnant, how am I going to be when there's an actual baby here?
(Eliza) Well, an actual baby won't be kicking your bladder while you're in a holding pattern, hopefully.
(Mira) True.
I'm excited, I am, I just, I feel scared.
Like, am I ever going to feel like me again?
Who you are will only expand.
And yes, there are sacrifices.
I mean, for the longest time I tried to be the perfect doctor, and the perfect mother, and I ended up being a complete failure at both.
You can be and do all the things.
Just not necessarily all at the same time.
(upbeat ringtone plays) ♪ I'm really sorry, just a minute.
Hi, how are the patients?
Much better, yeah, they'll be okay I think.
Are you all on your way back?
(Eliza) Unfortunately not, we had to circle into push hours, so dinner and a show in Adelaide it is.
Hey, I've got someone here that wants to say good day.
Hi, mom.
Henry?
-Oh my- but how?
-Surprise!
Oh, we're not back until midmorning.
How long are you staying?
'Til 10am tomorrow.
Sorry, we're heading to a music festival in Byron.
Oh no, no no no no no no, no no!
Yeah, I'm sorry, I totally got too excited about the surprise, I didn't think through the logistics of it, I'm sorry.
Is everything alright?
Yeah, I just, I wanted to drop in and see you.
You are the sweetest.
(tender music) ♪ Where you going, I'll give you a lift?
(Cameron) I'll be walking.
Where to, Tilpa?
(Cameron) Maybe, I'd be doing everyone a favor.
I know everyone blames me for what happened to Johnny, yous are right.
No, it's not just your fault.
All right, you shouldn't have been drinking, I told you that.
But, shit, mate, we all make dumb mistakes.
You don't know what it's like, seeing your best mate, knowing you're the reason he can't talk.
I have some idea.
You're not the reason.
I'm the one that couldn't get the tube in to help him breathe.
I'm the one that cut through the nerve in his throat, not you.
Now, as soon as I get my phone back from my mate, I'll give you a lift wherever you want to go.
♪ (plane winds down) (muted male voice) -Hey.
-Hey.
How are you?
Good.
(Mira) How's Darren?
(Wayne) All moved in, way too grown up.
I thought you were rostered on today.
Well, it turns out you're not the only one that can quit.
-Really?
-Mhm, movie marathon?
You bet.
You can drive.
(Wayne) Shall I grab the ice cream?
Hell yeah.
Do I get to pick the-- (Mira) Not a chance.
Hey, where you going?
(Taylor) Not back, just getting the rest of my stuff.
Can we at least just talk?
(Taylor) Too late for that, you were way out of line.
-Where are you staying?
-With Chaya for a bit.
(Matty) Hey, we got any Fruit Loops left?
Because I am in a loopy, fruity mood.
(meditative music) ♪ ♪ Hey, I didn't know you were in today.
I'm not.
Leonie just wanted to have a chat.
Yeah, me too.
We must be in trouble.
Well, I'm in trouble with everyone else.
Hey, did you catch up with Henry in the end?
I did, we managed to have breakfast before he had to race off and meet his friends.
Sorry you didn't get to spend more time with him.
Actually, we ended up having one of the best chats we've ever had.
(Eliza) Thank you, for looking after him.
(Pete) Oh, he looked after me.
Clearly he's inherited your cool under fire medical gene.
He said he apologized to you.
Yeah, yeah, he didn't have to.
I get it, he's just protecting his family.
So, he told you about London, I take it.
(Pete) Just that he was against it.
That's all?
Well, no, he also said that he told you that he'd cut you off if you went through with the trip.
Why didn't you tell me that?
I just thought...
I thought if you thought that he hated you, then what chance would we ever have of working out?

♪ (footsteps) Hey, you two, come on down.
(Leonie) Pete, this is Doctor Johnston from the Healthcare Complaints Commission.
All right, good day.
Hi, I'm here to discuss an official complaint that was made regarding the CICO out of White Cliffs, by John Hill's family.
What kind of complaint?
(Johnston) Well, they claim that you made comments to a friend of their son's admitting negligence as the cause of his permanent disability.
So, there'll be a tribunal, and given the seriousness of the allegations and ongoing consequences, I'm afraid that, until the review is complete, you'll be suspended from practicing.
