Oh you are such a clever little boy. Anytime you need a babysitter please let me know,
because he'll be no trouble at all. I don't know about that. Well he has his moments, but we still
love him. Hi, I didn't realize we had company. Oh I was going to txt you... Don't blame it on her,
but I turned up for a cuppa and never left. Right. I can go if you want. No,
no no it's cool, but my back is killing me though so as long as you don't mind me crashing out
for a while. There's plenty of time to catch up later, I asked Carla to stay for dinner.
Homemade pizza! Pele's idea. If that's not a problem. Can't wait, I'll see you in a bit.
How did they get into the place in the first place, it's supposed to be secure I mean that's
what security is all about that is your job. Oh. Oh a full review, oh that's so reassuring.
I am not going back to that house, Michelle, I can't, not with Amelie, never. Of course not it
was absolutely terrifying and I'm so so so sorry for having let you down like this. Well you're the
moving target, perhaps you and Tess should move in different directions one zigs, one zags. I think
so yes. They'll be safe here with me tonight. And I will hire a guard. But what about you,
where are you gonna stay? Don't you worry about me. But this was just a warning wasn't it,
if he wanted to kidnap Amelie he would have. Pure evil, they're telling you to back off and shut up.
Thank you, Nic, dinner was divine. Oh I can't take the credit for that, Maeve's the one with the
cooking skills. Hardly you did everything tonight. You taught me all the dishes! Oh right. Well the
parmesan was delicious and Maeve, I'd kill for the recipe. Well I will send it to you. Lovely,
I'll see you at work. Oh how about I give you a lift in tomorrow, we could drop Pele at school
on the way. Are you sure I can, I can manage. Oh it's the least I could do after dinner, if
you don't mind. What ever Nic's happy with. Great I'll pick you up at eight. See you then.
Is that okay, I know we've been hanging out a lot.
It's what friends do. But you're cool with that. Oh she's not so bad, for a shrink.
Wow, big concession. And I don't know her like you do. She's been so helpful for me. Yeah,
I know that. And funnily enough I think I've been pretty helpful to her. Carla's got a pretty tough
shell but inside... A big softie you reckon. Yeah. I feel she's been lonely for a long time.
Yeah there's a bit of a needy vibe, so good on you for being a friend. Thank you. As long as
you don't forget about me I'm happy. Not in a million years, you've always come first, wife.
I better. Which is why i thought maybe we could go and see your mum tomorrow. Really?
Well it is her birthday, right? So we could go after work. grab her something nice on the way.
Leanne's gonna be there, since you know she's mum's girlfriend and all. Yeah, I'll cope.
Just.
...a guard outside their room.
Hey, you okay. Um yeah I'm a bit shaken, but yeah I just wish the adrenaline would
wear off a bit faster. Did you manage to get any sleep? Like an hour maybe
but then the sun came up. But with the extra security we felt safe at least. If
i let anything happen to a Warner grandchild I could never look Chris in the eye again.
Hey have you told him yet? Uh not quite. Well Amelie's taking it all in her stride,
if it's any consolation. But we do have to keep our distance now though.
I completely understand. Tess, you're welcome to stay at ours if you like.
What? It's secure, Damo's got cameras all over the show. Although we made him take
the one out of the bathroom. Um thank you that that would be lovely but I think um
I think we'll be fine, here. No one's getting past me. Are you sure you're gonna be all right?
Uh it's, it's good to take a stand but I...I'm putting everyone in danger so
no I think Ryan's actually right, I'm not not sure this is worth it anymore. Sadly. But that's what
they want isn't it, to make you run and hide while they keep treating all those women like meat.
What are you saying? Well I have to protect Amelie and I will,
but what you're doing is really important, Michelle, don't give up just because of us.
Come on, buddy. Brave girl. She is, but am I? Oi, aren't you forgetting something? No. Really,
something we've talked about maybe 10 times this morning. Something that goes on your feet.
Hey, hey! Ah! A wanderer returns. Oh welcome home! it's good to be back. How was Queenie's party?
Photos look fun. Especially the karaoke. Yep I busted out my best drum roll. And
the family all loved you. They booted me off the station shift, but yeah. And you
and Esther? Not that we're fishing. We got on great, how about you guys?
We're good. Sweet, prepare for the incoming. Incoming what? Are you kidding,
Aunty Queenie wouldn't let me out the door without a ton of leftovers.
It's only me. Hi, oh hey meet Eddie, this is Carla. Who I've heard so much about. And this is
the brother, ditto, welcome home. Thanks. Everyone ready to go she's giving us a ride in except
Pele is taking ages to find his shoes. I'll give them a hurry up. Pele, it's me your Aunty Carla.
Aunty Carla? Yeah, kinda cute, eh? For the woman who cut you off from your mum, really?
Don't talk about her like that, please. It's been a positive step forward.
What's positive about cutting off your whanau? Eddie, it's helped,
Nic's been happy for the first time in ages. Yeah? Yeah. So Carla's done some good.
Am I interrupting something? No. No not at all, let's go.
Bye uncle. See you, mate. Bye-bye, see you at work. Bye.
Is it just me or is that a bit weird? No I'm done talking about this, okay. Conversation over.
