Neens, Neens, it's a wish jar, okay?
Just putting something out there into the Universe.
A Life that's mine.
I don't think I should leave.
It's only six months.
Yeah, but there's so much going on with you.
So, what have you got for me today?
Oh, I've paired a basic white shirt with a Y-front and mocha loafer.
Oh, understated. I like that.
This is just a very unfortunate, isolated incident.
I've never had brothers and sisters
and I wish I knew my father better before...
Now the sex is dead,
Will you marry me?
I'm pregnant.
But you have to promise me,
you'll tell Billie or Nina before I leave, okay?
Yes, I've seen Doctor Proudman on the news.
My job is to manage crisis.
and consequently concerns about staff behaviour
and professionalism have been raised.
If those questions are not addressed, the public will lose confidence
and you will become a magnet for disgruntled patients.
A man has come forward claiming that he and his wife
were sent home with the wrong baby, a year and a half ago.
[sombre instrumental music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
- [daycare woman] Hi. - Hi.
- [daycare woman] First day? - Yes.
You've been primed for this?
Yes.
It's a bigger day for me than it is for Zoe.
Well, the trick of the first day is not to make a big deal out of it.
Just pick a moment and go.
[sighs] That's the plan.
Oh, she'll be busy all day.
- It'll be fun. Yes? - Yeah.
We'll send you pictures.
- [phone rings] - Thank you.
Your mom...
Excuse me.
Bye, mommy.
Hi, Billie.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm back. I've dropped Mick off at the airport.
And now I'm home.
Moving forward, I've booked
a busy day with a recruiting interview and I'm not collapsing.
Now, how did you go dropping Zoe at daycare?
Yeah, I'm still here.
Have you seen the Internet?
Why?
Well, the whole net's crazy angry with you about the baby swapping.
I don't believe we swapped a baby.
No, that's right. It's just an accusation. Nothing has been proven yet.
If you're okay, I'm going to go now.
Oh, wait, I'll collect Zoe from daycare.
Thank you. Okay, I've gotta go. I just,
I want to have this moment with her.
Good luck.
You can just go.
- Can I just kiss her goodbye? - Oh, don't distress her.
If anything happens we'll call you. Just go.
You're not abandoning her.
She won't even remember.
Net's going crazy.
Lots of anger towards the hospital.
Accusations of swapped babies.
And that's my face up there.

Offspring 6x06 "A Present from the Past" August 3, 2016
We did not swap a baby.
Well, forgive me, but you're very quick to say, "No, not us."
I have faith in the people I work with
and our system for identifying babies.
Tags for mother and baby
are on a single sheet of plastic.
- See? - [Clegg] So, they match.
They're printed before the baby is born and we have them there ready.
The baby is tagged as soon as it's born, then we tag baby and mother
- at the same time. - No child gets mixed up.
Okay, well that sounds good,
but on the night in question there were emergencies at...
Who is it?
That thinks they have the wrong child?
Jade and Bradley Clarke.
They were diverted to St. Francis from the Ainsworth.
Jade.
[Leo] It's a big baby with a compound presentation.
[Bradley] Can we go anywhere?
No, it'll have to be here. Can we get Jade some privacy?
- [Leo] I'll grab a screen. - Jade.
I know this is scary because you don't know us.
But it's going to be okay.
Jade gave birth in the hallway
- to a daughter. - [Clegg] Yes.
Attending the birth?
Leo Taylor was the midwife. And me.
Who tagged the baby?
[Clegg laughs]
Women were giving birth side by side.
It was madness.
Who tagged the baby?
I don't remember.
What are you writing?
[Harry] I'm just making notes.
I've asked the Clarkes to come in today.
Good. A DNA test will tell us if there's been an error.
I'll prep for a DNA test.
[stutters] Well, no, I'm not sure about that.
Doing a test makes it appear we have doubts about our procedures.
Well, I disagree.
I think it shows that we have nothing to hide.
I am confident that we haven't swapped a baby.
We need a test to clear our names. It matters.
And if you're wrong?
I have work to do.
- [Zara] Hello? - [Kim] Hey, it's me.
- What's the Internet saying? - Trying to study.
Yeah, but, like, is it bad?
"This latest scandal is a body blow to public health in Victoria."
Shit, people are mean.
- What? - "First they drug you,"
"then they steal your children."
"You should all go hang yourselves."
"Die, St. Francis."
- Is that Kim? - Yeah.
She get the email?
Did you get the email? And are you coming tonight?
[Kim] What for?
[Zara] Jimmy's using the leftovers from the taqueria.
Last night of tacos.
Please hold.
I'm going now. I'd like a kiss goodbye, please.
Sure.
- Is he gone? - Yeah, why?
I...
Well...
Use your words.
So, Jess and I are thinking of having another child.
Jimmy.
- You're thinking about using Jimmy! - Well, he's at the top of the list.
He would love it!
He would love it! I would love it! We would love to give that to you.
You know, and it couldn't come at a more brilliant timing.
I think it's exactly what Jimmy needs to,
to jolt him out of the dumps.
Jimmy can be your spoof jockey!
Well, just hang on a sec, like, is there a chance
- that this could get weird? - No way!
You know, except...
You might want to think about turkey bastering it.
We're all playing the same game of bingo there.
You should ask Jimmy tonight.
Wow.
- This could be easier than I thought. - Goodbye, caller.
- What's that face? - What face? No face.
Yes face.
Stop it.
Stop it. Stop it!
Chez, you always think poking works. Stop it.
God!
Right.
Jess and I are going to ask Jimmy to father a child.
You're doing two reactions here.
Oh, no, I'm so happy for you.
And I'm worried about Martin.
He thinks he's the man who supplies you with the magic potion.
Magic potion?
Really? Can't we just say spoof?
- Spoof's creepy. - I like spoof.
Um, look.
If it was me having the baby I'd consider it,
but Jess is gonna have it, so...
Well, you will need me to manage the situation.
Mm-hmm. Thank you.
Yeah, try this. This will be great for a recruiting interview.
Do I have to come?
This'll be a good experience for both of us. We both need jobs.
- [Brody] I feel sick. - [Billie] It's fine to feel nervous.
It's not fine to let it stop you.
You're young. You have nothing in your way.
At your stage, attitude is more important than your experience.
For me it's a little bit more complicated. Okay.
Shoulders back. Eye contact.
Inhale.
[exhales]
[Billie] Five minutes.
Okay, so Proudman Real Estate, that-that was a family business?
Yes, my father started that, and then I took over from him.
- And why did you leave? - Sold it.
Mm.
Listen. I thought you'd be older.
- Me? - Yes.
Um, and then you went on to manage a decorating business?
Sort of, a friend and I working together, styling houses for sale.
Right. And what happened to the real estate license?
- Let it go. - You lost it?
Let it go.
Okay. And recently managing a tour for a band.
Yes, my husband's a musician.
It's quite a bit of choppity changey.
It's been diverse. It's been a colourful career.
Oh, come on, database.
Uh, so, how do I get a read on you?
[stutters] You've done some admin. Is that what you're looking for?
Well, we could start there, sure.
Okay, let's see.
Um...
Compensation claims officer.
I'm not really sure what that is.
Mm.
Uh, order manager for a wholesale supply company?
Library training educator... Oh, no, you need a qualification for that.
I'm-I'm really good at learning new things.
- Sure. - I'm really good at motivating myself.
You know what would be great, is if you go away
and think about what it is that you actually want. Some clear goals.
All right?
Right.
And in the meantime, we've-we've got you on file,
so we can place you if something comes in.
[Billie] We're out of here. Have you got everything?
- But am I next? - No. That's it.
[quizzical instrumental music playing]
Psst.
[clears throat and whispers] I need your advice.
Okay.
Cherie has...
Proposed to me.
- Marriage? - [whispers] I'm not certain, you know?
Yes. Firstly she didn't want to get married because she thought it would
kill our sexual Mardi Gras.
Now the sex is dead, so let's get married! I mean, I'm...
I'm-I'm...
- Trapped in the logic. - Yes, help me.
Well, you've... You've always wanted to marry Cherie.
Well, yes, but should anyone marry someone
who doesn't want to have sex with them?
[stutters] I don't know.
It's a curve ball.
Well, yes.
So, you agree with me?
I thought this was one of those times
where I lack the emotional intelligence
to understand the bleeding obvious.
No, it's a definite curve ball.
[in a low voice] Yeah. That's reassuring.
But that's not.
[Nina] Jade. Baby swap.
It's the thought that won't go away.
Isn't it?
Is there something in particular that
makes you think that Millie's not yours?
Well, right from the beginning, the connection wasn't there.
[Jade] You weren't ready to be a dad.
[Bradley] It wasn't that, though.
We used to joke that maybe we'd brought home the wrong baby.
But...
Then these stories started happening on the web,
about you guys here throwing babies.
Well, that wasn't a baby.
[Bradley] Can't stop thinking about it.
It can take time to bond with a child.
We'd like to get a test done.
To be sure.
Well, that's you two done.
Would you take Millie for some water? I've left her sippy cup in the car.
There's a drinking fountain just in the hallway if you like.
[Nina] You haven't said much.
- You told me that you had a daughter? - Yes.
Millie is my baby.
I don't want a different one.
What if this test says she's not mine?
She's mine.
I know it's a horrible thought.
But Jade, if there has been a breach in procedure,
we can't do nothing.
What if I don't want the test?
Can I say no?
We do require both parents' consent.
Can we hold off then please?
Just for a day?
Sure. I-I've got the samples.
We can wait.
[Harry] That's what I was saying. If we control the medium,
then we control the audience.
Sorry, I'll have to call you back.
You'll be happy to know that Jade doesn't want the test.
Why would I be happy?
Well, you said you didn't want us to do the test.
- No, that's not what I was... - I think we should do the test.
For them.
Even if they don't want to?
I suppose you want to say "I told you so"?
- Sorry, what about? - I mean, you saw this coming.
You said we'd be a magnet for disgruntled patients.
You said that and now it's happened, so, go ahead.
Say "I told you so".
You really want me to say that?
Look, I think you're struggling
with the thought that if the Clarkes did take home the wrong child...
- They didn't. - No, but if they did,
then that means there's another couple out there with the wrong child.
And that would be tragic.
- You might not think much of this team... - What I think of you is irrelevant.
That's right. Because it's all business to you, isn't it?
- What is... What are you... - All you seem to care about is
managing the narrative.
[door closes]
[phone rings]
Nina!
- Hello. - Some day you're having.
"New low for public health", huh?
I don't know why I'm calling you.
Of all my siblings,
you seemed like the right one.
Well, that's nice.
Um, but if you're thinking about suing for defamation...
- I'm not. - I'm not saying that you shouldn't.
- But... - No. I'm not calling for legal advice.
Yeah, it gets messy. I become morally liable for the result.
- It's not my area. - I don't want legal advice.
This is one of those moments where I should've
just said something supportive, right?
That would've been nice.
Sorry. Um, working on it.
Um...
What-What do you want?
Brotherly advice.
There's hate all over the media, the Internet.
For the hospital.
I'm the face of it.
It just feels so personal.
No, no, no, no take the emotion out of it.
How?
Well, you're a surgeon.
- [message tone beeps] - Be surgical.
Hang on, I've just got a message. From Zoe's daycare.
- Something wrong? - No, no.
No, she's been having a great morning playing,
and there's a pic.
What's wrong, Nina?
She's happy.
She's playing.
I'm just...
I'm a mess because I love her so much.
I'd better go.
Okay. All right. Bye.
Marjorie?
[loud buzz]
[amusing instrumental music playing]
[phone rings]
Hello?
Did you get them?
Them?
What are they?
Open the box.
- Is it safe? - Of course.
- Oh, chocolate raspberries. Thank you! - You're welcome.
[exclaims]
We should meet sometime.
- Or is this as far as it goes? - No, I'll have to think about it.
That's fair.
Well, if we're going to talk, I'd better put the kettle on.
- Are we going to talk? - Oh, yeah.
[phone ringing]
Robson Wing, hello?
- Hello, is Nina Proudman there? - Yeah, just a sec. It's for you.
Nina Proudman.
Hello, I'm Lillian Howe.
I wonder if you could comment on the allegations of a breach
of hospital procedure at St. Francis?
- Are you a journalist, Lillian? - Yes, I am.
- I'm sorry but I can't... - This kind of mix up,
it speaks to people's greatest fears about hospitals, wouldn't you agree?
We're not commenting at this time.
- The investigation into the rumours... - There is an investigation then?
St. Francis takes this matter very seriously.
- [stutters] And if we have to... - Yes?
Sorry, I have to go.
Well, from this point on, we have to be really careful about...
[phone ringing]
It's them again. More reporters.
[phone continues ringing]
Well, you can't not answer it. It could be a patient.
[phone continues ringing]
Robson Wing, hello?
Hello, I was hoping to speak to Nina Proudman.
What's the call about?
- It's personal. - Can I take a message?
Yeah, my name is Jodie Ellis. I'd like to arrange a meeting.
An appointment?
Or maybe I should make an appointment. Yes, I'll make an appointment.
- [Nina mouthing words] - Friday at 10:00?
- Thank you. - Okay, Dr. Proudman will see you then.
[in a low voice] Jodie Ellis.
Why is that name familiar?
[Brody] That's an amazing tower.
You're going to make another one.
- We're going to make so many... - Look!
- Hey. - Hey, look.
Hi!
You've been busy.
Yeah, these are the fairy princesses.
Princess Zoe and Princess Brody, waiting for their true loves.
I see.
[Brody] And these guys are the handsome princes
who have come to save them.
Oh, where are we putting them now?
- [Brody] Well done. - But real princesses can be very boring.
They can't have a career.
And they hardly ever get to wear tulle.
They travel a lot and see the world.
Well, these ones are stuck in a tower.
Maybe the princesses could save each other.
Yeah, but they're trapped. That's kind of the whole point.
Okay.
Well, I think it's bath time for you, pumpkin.
Good girl.
[Jimmy] All right, just a few quick words, then,
um, before you all go.
Thank you all for being part of the taco story,
my first test audience
my last punters,
and Jess, of course,
for making sure the whole thing ran smoothly. Thank you.
- [Zara] Darling. - Cheers.
[everyone] Cheers.
What are you doing out here?
I'm just quarantining myself so I don't infect anyone.
A recruiter pulled me apart today.
It's true. I've got this handful of pieces that won't make up a whole.
I'm sick of this patchwork life, mum.
- Guys! - Come on.
Kim? Is there something you want to ask?
[hesitantly] What? What is it?
Um, yeah. But there's a lot of people here.
[in a low voice] Yeah. Go for it.
Right.
Um, with the taqueria closing,
we thought it was a good time for us
to revisit our idea to have a baby.
[all cheering]
[Jimmy] Upside to the downside!
Well, well, well...
[Kim] Jess is gonna have it.
And, um, we've just been discussing candidates to play dad.
Excellent. Excellent.
Well, ask away.
And if I was Jess, I would think about who I wanted.
Absolutely.
- Too subtle. - They don't want you.
Rubbish.
- I'm pretty sure, right? - Positive.
I thought I had the lock.
- Is that the right expression? - No one has got the lock.
Well, who then?
Well, who out of your wide circle of friends
have you deemed eligible to be...
Interesting.
- [Jimmy] What? - You're it.
Did you know about this?
- Yeah. - She totally pimped you.
- Good choice. - Let's celebrate.
D-Do I have an opinion here?
- You'll do it, won't you Jimmy? - Of course he will.
I would just like to have
- a chat in private. - Oh, shit.
- Why wouldn't you say yes? - [Geraldine] Jimmy!
[in a low voice] Private.
In your face.
Sorry, Jim.
- We should have picked a better moment. - Yeah, yeah, we should go.
[stutters] No, you don't have to go.
No, no, no, no, we were going anyway.
Sorry, everyone. A little embarrassing. Sorry.
- I'm really sorry. - Don't be. No, stay. Please.
But...
[Nina] [whispers] She's asleep.
[Brody] I'm going to go to bed too, hey.
Okay.
So, the princess story was an epic swipe left.
Oh, you weren't to know.
It's just I've been trying to avoid the whole princess thing.
I mean, stories about girls waiting to be saved by men.
Sorry.
[stutters] No, it's not your fault.
[sighs] I'm-I'm oversensitive today.
I didn't like leaving Zoe at daycare.
Sometimes, I feel like a terrible mum.
Sorry. Oh, no. I...
I didn't mean to take it all out on you.
It's not that.
[stutters] I'm pregnant and...
And I can't tell anyone.
And now you want me to leave.
Oh, no, no. Wait.
No, I don't.
Not at all.
Oh, Brody.
Listen.
If you're pregnant,
you need support to make decisions.
And...
Do you know what you want to do?
Right.
Well, the-the first thing
we have to do is make sure you're all right.
Would you like me to tell Billie for you?
- No, she'll kill me. - No. No, she won't.
She needs to know.
And so does your mum.
No, Nina, please don't tell her. I shouldn't have told you.
It's all right.
I'm glad you told me.
And I won't break your confidence.
But when you're ready,
you should tell Billie,
because she'll want to know.
I can be there with you.
Come here. You'll be alright.
[crying] Thank you.
It's okay.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Nina, hi, it's Harry.
Did you speak to a journalist today?
Yes.
What's happened?
Okay, I've just been pouring cold water on
a story about an ongoing investigation.
Did you say the investigation is serious?
[stutters] I said we take the matter seriously.
Okay.
Have I done something wrong?
No, it's just if-if a journalist calls,
that's exactly the sort of thing I need to know about.
Uh, my need to provide care to my patients will always take priority over
telling you whether a journalist has called.
Well, you can do both.
[stutters] Why are you angry?
Because you're holding me to some kind of standard that I don't know about.
[sighs]
- Oh, and now you're sighing at me. - You're being combative. I'm...
I'm not your enemy in this.
I'm trying to stop this from escalating
from Internet gossip into front page news.
Okay? I'm asking you to keep me in the loop.
Okay.
From now on I will do that.
Thank you.
Anything else?
No, that's all.
Goodnight.
Night.
Was that a man?
You know when someone has a picture in their mind
of who you are, and it's wrong, and you can't change it?
I hate myself for even caring what some man thinks.
On a scale of one to ten, how hot is this man?
I don't know.
That means nine or higher.
I'm not talking about him anymore.
- [Nina] Do you want some tea? - Mm.
Kim and Jess asked Jimmy to donate some sperm.
Ah! Well, that's wonderful.
[Billy stutters]
- No? - Turns out no.
I'd have thought Jimmy would be happy to give his sperm.
Why did you never offer to give me an egg?
I mean, Mick and I couldn't conceive
because they couldn't harvest an egg from me,
like, they couldn't use mine.
[stutters] I didn't know you wanted me to offer.
I never thought... No, I didn't think...
No, it's something we never thought of.
- Should I offer? - I don't know.
Billie, if I donated an egg to you...
That's not what I'm saying.
Do you want one?
You don't need to give me an egg.
You don't need to give me anything. It's all right, I'm going to bed.
Jade.
[Jade] Um, whatever I tell you,
you have to keep it to yourself, don't you?
[sighs] There are certain things that I-I have to disclose.
I-I promise I wont unless I absolutely have to.
There was no mix up.
I saw them put the tag on Millie. I know she's mine.
That can only be a good thing.
No, because she might not be my husband's.
And... [whispers] I can't tell him.
[in a low voice] Okay.
Well, then we have to protect you.
And Bradley. Well, all of you.
[whispers] I'm so sorry.
God, this has gotten out of control, and all that stuff online?
There's no way out.
There's no way back.
Should I tell?
Only you can decide that.
All I can say is that, um...
I'm the child of an infidelity.
My mother wasn't sure, so she kept it a secret.
It's only come out very recently.
Do you wish that you'd known?
I've thought about that a lot.
And I-I don't know.
I spent 35 years being the daughter
of a wonderful man who wasn't my biological father.
I think we have to do the tests.
Bradley might be the father.
What if he's not?
Well, then, we'll have it all out and we'll know.
- Are you logging on to drive? - Yep.
See you later.
- When will you be home? - When I'm home.
Jimmy, I thought that you would be glad to donate sperm.
And I also thought that you'd been feeling useless...
No, you've been looking at me like I'm useless.
No, I haven't.
- You're imagining that. - I don't think so.
And this is your solution. I had to sell my business but not...
What does this have to do with the restaurant?
We've got children. Kim and Jess want them.
They're our friends. We love them.
And they need you, and you can do it so easily,
you barely have to think about it.
And that's what you think of me?
That I could just have a child and walk away,
and not be a father to that child?
What is this about?
Don't promise people children.
Okay, so just to be clear.
The main reason you're saying no
is because you think that I want you to say yes?
- What? - Is this about us?
[phone rings]
Hello?
Good morning.
I think we've had our fun.
I think it's time we saw each other.
- Coffee? - No. And, not yet. I, um...
- I wanna see what you look like. - Okay.
We both put down our phones, don't hang up.
Go to the front door, open it
and get a visual.
- Now? - Yes, now.
Oh, wait.
You're not naked or anything, are you?
- No. - Right.
I'm putting the phone down, on three.
One, two, three.
[slow instrumental music playing]
Do you want...
Hello?
So, what happens now?
You know, um...
Coming here all the time is quite a lot of effort.
Why don't I just give you my mobile number?
Get a pen.
[dial-tone ringing]
This is Kerry.
Kerry, it's Billie Proudman here. We met yesterday.
Ah, yes.
I'd just like to tell you how uninspiring I found that meeting.
I mean, you might not like your job,
but it doesn't mean you have to be a cow to me.
Pardon?
Okay, the deal is this. I present myself to you,
you get to know me,
you help find me a job. You know, you take a commission,
you foster our relationship,
and then in a year or two you help me find my next job.
You don't tell me that my work history means nothing.
Okay, so...
What do you want?
What?
You're dissatisfied. I get it.
And I was not on song yesterday. So, what's the remedy?
Do you wanna come back in?
It's no excuse, but yesterday I was in the middle of some complex personal shit.
Um, I won't bore you with it.
Is real estate gone for you as an idea?
I thought it was going to be my big life career, and I blew it up.
Messed it up, and I've been rudderless ever since then.
Well, you've been busy.
Yeah, I've been busy, but just unsure about the destination.
Okay. Tell me about managing your husband's tour.
Yeah, it's really just lining up hotels,
organising bands to transport people between Nottingham and Edinburgh.
- So, logistics. - It's really just talking on the phone.
- Making relationships. - Yeah. Well so that when things go wrong,
there's goodwill stored up as a buffer.
I mean, everything is just selling, one way or another.
You adapt. That's your key strength.
You change, you try new things and you don't let setbacks defeat you.
Um, I've got another meeting, but...
Are you interested in working with me?
Are you offering me a job on the spot?
I found myself in need of someone,
specifically someone who knows how to make a call.
Someone who can pick up the phone and say, "hey"...
- "You're a cow." - Exactly.
Now, look, maybe we hate each other by
the end of the week or maybe this works.
Do you wanna give it a go?
What's he thinking?
Why do you care what he's thinking?
Yeah, regardless of the way the tests come back, we've lost face.
And we need to stay humble and change the image of the hospital.
Yes.
I'm going to recommend we stop using images of you.
The face of St. Francis.
The face of a disaster.
Yeah.
I mean, like it or not
to some people you'll always look like the doctor who swapped a baby.
Well, I don't care what you think of me.
You've made that very clear.
It's important for me to see this through,
whatever the results of the test are.
This final statement...
I want to make it.
[footsteps approaching]
Nina, Mr. Crewe?
The results.
Maternity and paternity are positive.
Millie is Bradley and Jade's child.
Oh, this is good. This is good news.
As a mother myself,
I know how harrowing the thought of bringing the wrong child home is.
However, there was no breach of the systems of the hospital.
I am delighted to confirm
that Jade and Bradley Clarke are the parents of baby Millie.
To allay any fears in the community,
we're offering free DNA testing to anyone
who had a child born during the emergency a year and a half ago.
What does this mean for Jade and Bradley Clarke?
Please, leave them alone.
They've been through a very stressful ordeal
and they deserve their privacy.
Thank you.
[female reporter] Do you have any comments
on the state of the public health care?
[reporters asking questions at the same time]
[Harry] Thanks for coming down.
[serene instrumental music playing]
[Clegg] "Our baby, born by caesarean, thank you, Nina",
- "and all at St. Francis." - That's you, Kim.
I remember them.
Oh, all our babies!
"Hashtag love St. Francis"
[Kim laughs heartily]
It's exactly what we needed.
[Kim] We just phoenixed the shit out of this.
[Harry] This is unbelievable.
[Clegg] [whispers] C-Cherie?
All I want to say is...
Yes.
Yes, I will marry you.
Great!
Um, everybody, I have an announcement to make.
[clears throat] Cherie and I have just decided to get married.
- What? - Congratulations.
Of course, I will need a best man.
Nina, were Patrick alive, I would have asked him, but...
Would you do me the honour?
Yes.
- Means you can't be my bridesmaid. - Am I here?
- Hello? - [Harry] This is what this unit is like?
I mean, something good happens, and you decide to get married?
- Yes. - What's this wedding gonna look like?
One word.
Medieval.
I-I don't look good in them mutton-leggy shorts.
No, no, no. This is something that I have always wanted to do.
Just compromise! Agree on something,
you know, regal and romantic, like...
"Dark Magnificence."
Yes, I like the sound of that. Yes?
- Yes! - [Clegg] Excellent.
[everyone laughing]
[Billie] Neens!
You're just in time.
You're looking at a headhunter.
- Oh! Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
We're celebrating. Brody, you'll have a splash?
I don't feel like it.
You're going to be my first client. We're gonna get your career started.
Come on. Special occasion. Just a little bit.
Billie.
[Billie] What?
Just a tiny bit. What?
I'm pregnant.
[awkward silence]
So, you've been sitting on this secret
because you've been worried about how I'd react?
Didn't want you to chuck me out.
You're not going to get chucked out.
Okay?
It's not going to happen.
And...
I promise that I'm going to support you in...
What you decide.
Do you know what you want to do?
No.
Well, then we'll figure that out together.
- Won't we? - Yes.
[Brody] You okay?
I'm just really glad you told me.
I'm really glad you told me.
[slow instrumental music playing]
Could I?
Should I give Billie an egg?
Nina.
- Yeah, hello. - I just wanted to...
Can we talk for a minute?
I-I've got an appointment.
Okay.
What?
Well, it's just the crisis is over.
- Right. - I'm wrapping up here.
Making your recommendations to the board.
Yeah.
You've managed the narrative.
Yeah, look, I've rubbed you the wrong way.
But everything I did, the way I behaved was to protect you.
You don't need to protect me.
Well, it's my job.
You've been exposing me when I'm vulnerable,
and I've found that undermining.
So, I don't want to be at the mercy of what you think of me.
Well, does it matter to you what I think of you?
Yes.
Well, shall I tell you what I think of you?
No.
No, I don't want to be any more confused than I already am.
Okay.
W-Well, it was good to meet you.
I wanted you to have this.
- What is it? - That's my recommendation to the board.
I thought you'd like to see it.
- You have your appointment. - Oh, yep.
- Goodbye. - Yeah.
Bye.
[Harry] The Robson Wing's unorthodox in many ways,
but as a team they work with cohesion,
professionalism, and an advanced sense of duty
towards the women who come to give birth at St. Francis.
During a crisis that would've made other medical teams
disintegrate into bickering and blame, this unit rallied together.
They are a credit to the hospital
and my recommendation is to leave them alone,
and allow them to continue their excellent work.
Jodie, Patrick's ex-wife.
- Hello. - I didn't think you'd recognise me.
Hi.
- Are you in town long? - Just a quick visit to see family.
Oh, lovely.
Sit. Let's sit.
I've been debating
whether or not I should or shouldn't have this conversation with you.
Oh, Okay.
Um, I just don't know your situation. I don't know if you're single or, um...
Um, yes. I'm single.
Why?
- Is it something to do with Patrick? - Yep.
Okay. Here goes.
When we were married
Patrick had some of his sperm frozen.
Now I didn't know about it. I got a letter from the clinic.
It's-It's here in Melbourne. It still exists.
I got a letter asking if I'd like to renew the storage on it.
I thought it was only fair if I offer it to you,
so you can have another child, if you wanted.
[sombre instrumental music playing]
Oh.

There’s a surprise Nina could have never predicted.
Patrick had some of his sperm frozen.
I thought it was only fair if I offer it to you,
so you can have another child.
I have to decide.
Life could be so much more fun.
What are you going to do?
To Cherie and Martin.
This could be something... really good.
No one can break my heart like you can.
