Back with the Ex (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

1
[narrator] As their three weeks together
draws to an end,
Peter and Diane are having
their final romantic dinner in Paris.
Tomorrow, they'll make a decision
that will shape their lives.
Do they return to their homes alone?
Or will they commit to a relationship?
Oh, wow.
Oh, darling, you look stunning.
-Oh, wow.
-Look at you!
Grab a seat, honey.
Tonight is the last chance they have
to raise any concerns about their future.
[Peter] I think my heart was racing a bit.
Getting a bit warm.
[waiter] Ladies first?
-[Peter] Yes.
-Sure. Thank you.
[Peter] I know there's a big decision
that I want to make.
It's playing on my mind constantly.
-Here's to us, darling.
-Yes.
[Diane] The worst-case scenario is that
Peter doesn't commit to me
on a very deep level
because we are so far apart.
Do you have any nagging thoughts now
that distance still could be a problem?
Right now,
I have lots of nagging thoughts.
That means I go back to my life.
I go back to the grind,
I go back to living my life alone
and deciding whether or not I have to
go back to dating again
or if I choose "this is too hard."
I might just live alone.
There are so many issues.
There's distance, there's finances,
there's kids,
there's parents, there's location,
the transport.
All of that is so much
to wrap my brain around.
[Peter] I'm thinking, "My God, this is it.
She wants to fly home tomorrow
without me."
It wasn't a good feeling.
[Diane] What do you think?
Do you want to live in Sydney
and I move there?
Do you want to live part-time?
Do want to come into my space?
I run a business
and you have a school-aged child.
-Mmm.
-[Diane] Those are huge things.
Yeah. I mean, I envisioned just
having bases in both countries.
-[Diane] Yeah?
-Yeah.
For me that would involve huge changes.
I'm feeling extremely anxious.
How do I figure everything out?
I'm always trying to think ahead.
How do I figure it out?
How do I plan?
How do I care for so many people?
It was huge.
It was a lot easier
when we were in our 20s.
We were single,
we could just jump and move.
We had no real attachments.
But both of us, now, we've got family,
we have children.
My mum, who is quite ill.
You have to consider those things,
but at the same time,
it's not selfish to consider yourself.
We can't end up being 70 or 80
and then wishing
we'd done it 20 years ago.
Yeah.
If we don't figure something out
that's serious before we both leave Paris,
it could be the end of our relationship.
You know,
I don't want to be alone for years.
I know. And you can't have
a distant relationship.
You need someone who's in Durham with you.
I don't know that a long-distance
relationship will work for me.
I want it to.
I'm just being realistic.
I guess it would be a lot easier to
There's obviously many suitors
that live in and around Durham, I guess.
Be a lot easier to hook up
with one of those.
I'm not rooting for them
and I'm not looking
to hook up with anybody.
Why not just find someone local?
It would be easier, wouldn't it?
It would be easier to find someone local.
A whole lot easier.
-And the same for me too, I suppose.
-Yes, I have lots of suitors.
And I have not considered them
as long-term relationship.
As a permanent relationship,
like, I'm considering with you.
So it hurts when you say,
"You know what, babe,
you have lots of suitors."
I have lots of suitors.
I just don't choose to settle.
I'm committed to finding out
if my life with someone
is going to be incredible,
because if it's not incredible,
I'd rather be alone.
[Peter] Yeah.
[narrator] As the final evening
comes to a close
[Erik] To you being here right now.
[narrator] our couples will
spend the night alone in their hotel
Got a lot to think about.
[narrator] before their
big decision tomorrow.
[Cam] See you later.
-That was good, yeah?
-[Kate] Yeah, I had a good dinner.
I'm back from dinner with Cam
and I'm about to go to bed.
It's lonely coming back to the room
without having him here.
We had a beautiful, romantic dinner.
I said what I had to say.
It was all positive stuff.
It's a big day tomorrow.
This journey over the last few weeks
is finally coming to an end.
It's emotional.
I'm probably going to be a mess
tomorrow morning.
It's so much to absorb
and process through my body.
[Meg] How many times can you
mend and break and mend and break?
How many times can you do it?
I'm not really looking forward
to having to have
a conversation with Cam tomorrow
about what we're going to do
and where this is gonna go.
We have a big day tomorrow.
It's pretty much like the decision day,
if we want to keep going on
with what we're doing and
I'm nervous that he's going to say
that he doesn't want
to start a relationship.
There's more to it, I think.
Fingers crossed
that we're on the same page
and fingers crossed we're both
going to leave this happy.
I do have to make a pretty tough decision
about my future with Erik
and I have to say,
it's making me really emotional.
We're in New York City.
We're able to switch off
and have some fun.
It's an awesome time. [exhales]
I just really hope this continues.
[narrator] The day of the decision
has arrived.
Will our couples go their separate ways?
Or will they get back with their ex?
Unfortunately for Meg and Jeremy,
their final dinner last night
ended abruptly.
This one conversation with you,
I completely changed my mind
about you, eh?
[Meg] I'm done.
This decision tomorrow
is going to be good, isn't it?
It's going to be brilliant.
I think that we're leaving South Africa
on a bitter note already.
I went home last night from the dinner
and I was so angry.
I was so angry and I was so hurt.
I just remember him saying
that he's been unhappy.
That I've made him unhappy.
That's all I heard.
I'm just sick of her shit.
I'm just over it.
I just can't stand being in arguments.
She makes me so unhappy.
Um
And she just upsets me
and I just don't want to be around someone
that does that all the time.
But she means too much to me
to just leave.
I just can't walk away.
Me and Meg love each other
and it should be easy to make things work.
[narrator] It's just hours
before our couples
make a huge decision about their future.
But there's one more thing
for them to discover.
Before they embarked on this journey,
each couple filmed a time capsule
with their reasons
for getting back with their ex.
[Lauren] Right now, I'm feeling
a little bit apprehensive
to watch the video.
I'm a bit worried that he has made
some big promises there
that he hasn't delivered on.
And potentially it could influence
the decision that I'm going to make.
[narrator] After six years apart,
will Erik prove to Lauren
that he's a changed man?
Second chances don't come around
very often
and it looks like we've been given
a second chance.
I'd like to show to you and prove to you
that I am ready to commit to you,
which is something
that you've always wanted.
Commitment means the whole nine yards.
The house, the kids, the holidays.
The more than one day together
during the week.
The trip to the Bahamas,
the wedding, the ice cream machine
at the wedding.
I've grown wiser,
I've changed a lot as well.
But I don't want you
to take my word for it,
I want you to come
and experience it with me.
I would love to fall in love with you
all over again.
I miss you and I love you very much.
Um I
I feel Erik was very genuine in his video,
and I think we were both
very excited to see what could happen.
He knew what I needed
from the last relationship.
He never gave it to me
and I think he wouldn't have
reached out and reconnected
if he really didn't think he had changed.
[Lauren] I've always dreamt
of my life with you.
I would love to see
where our future could take us.
Erik, I remember so many times
we spoke about going to the Bahamas.
We planned that that would be
where we would get married.
I can see myself in a white, flowy dress
on the beach with no shoes,
you in a white button-down shirt,
eating ice cream at our reception,
something that we both love to do.
I would love to live on the water with you
and potentially start a family.
I would love the fairy tale with you,
living happily ever after.
[Erik] It's really weird seeing that
after we've been fighting
for the last few weeks.
You know, you just kind of think,
"Okay, she said this, but then"
You know? There's been
all this combatancy between us.
But if she's true about all of this, well,
then, hey.
I think we're on the same wavelength.
Watching Lauren's video
has given me the confidence boost
that I need to go in
with my final decision.
[narrator] Before they reunited,
each couple filmed a video
of how they see their future
with their ex.
Here we go.
[narrator] Kate cheating on Cam
three years ago
broke the trust between them.
She wants to start over,
but can they wipe the slate clean
and move on?
I just really miss having my best pal,
and I would love to have you back
in my life again.
You and I made so many plans
to go and travel the world together.
I would love nothing more than to go
on the adventures that we talked about.
I know I've hurt you in the past,
and I haven't forgotten about it.
And I never want to see you
that hurt again.
[Cam] That would have taken a lot
for her to say that,
and it means a fair bit, I guess.
And it shows that she's, you know,
matured from what's happened.
[Cam] I've got a lot to think about.
I really do.
Kate, I was hurt from, you know,
what happened when you cheated,
but I definitely want you to know
that I have forgiven,
and I'm ready to move on.
I'm so excited to make some more memories.
We used to have a blast back in the day.
I'd love to move out with you,
but we do have to work on a few things.
I guess, trust for one.
Bloody hell.
I need him to trust me
if this is going to work.
Oh, that was interesting.
[elephant trumpets]
[narrator] Meg and Jeremy's
volatile relationship ended four years ago
when Jeremy went overseas.
Will their time capsules
sway their decision?
Meg, time capsule.
Meg, I really loved you back then
when we were together.
There's still always going to be
something there between me and you.
I'll always have feelings for you.
It makes me so happy to see you
happy and smiling
and laughing, and it's just, I miss that.
I miss I miss
the light you shine on a room
when you're there.
No one's ever, like, come close to being
what you were to me as a girlfriend.
You've been the one and only girl
that I've
truly fallen in love with.
I hope in the future it can be like it was
at the start of our relationship.
I hope doing this creates,
like, an opportunity for us
to be like we used to be,
to start again fresh.
I really liked where he was. Yeah,
I don't think you can help who you love.
I want to cry.
[Meg] When things were good,
they were really, really good.
And when things were bad, they were shit,
and you can be such an asshole.
Oh, my goodness. You can squash you.
Um, I love that you're upfront
and you're confident,
and you're up for anything,
and you make the situation fun
and entertaining
with your witty sense of humor.
You're a joy to be around,
you're good fun.
And when you're shitty, you're shitty,
and I don't want to see you
or don't want to look at your face,
but then you get over it pretty quickly,
as do I.
If we end up together, then awesome,
and it works? Holy moly, I think
I'll drop dead if it actually works.
Um, we'll see. I don't know.
I know I'm confused and I'm worried
and I'm excited and I'm overwhelmed
and I'm every single emotion
that you can possibly think of.
But we'll soon see.
Watching that video back,
I think that she can see
that she does want to be with me now
more than she did then.
I think that she's she's creating
that sort of love for me
that we used to have.
We've definitely become closer
over the last couple of weeks.
[narrator] Peter and Diane's
fairy tale romance
ended 28 years ago because of distance.
How will their time capsule
help their final decision?
The opportunity for us to get together
was something I would have never
have dreamed of. I want it
'cause not a day has gone by
that I haven't thought about you
at least once. Many more times.
And I just cannot wait for the chance
to see if our relationship can inflame
and ignite and turn into the passion
it once was.
I see this as an opportunity for us to,
at a different stage in our lives,
to truly get to know each other,
fall madly in love again
and spend the rest of our lives together.
You know, wake up next to you
every morning,
be able to just hold your hand
whenever I want to,
something I haven't been able to do
for 28 years. [chuckling]
I cannot express enough
how genuine I am about this
and, um, I hope you feel the same way.
This opportunity comes around
to very few people,
and for me, it's once-in-a-lifetime,
and I don't want to let it go,
so I truly cannot wait till we can
let this run as fast as it can.
So sweet. It was genuine.
He spoke from his heart,
and he is the ultimate romantic
that I want so desperately in my life.
I am so excited to be traveling
halfway around the world
to explore a serious relationship
with you.
We have the passion, we have the spark.
I think it would still be there.
I have a hard time believing
it wouldn't be.
I'm just kind of excited to see you
as the strong, handsome,
dapper gentleman in my life,
and I'm looking for someone
who wants to share family,
who wants to learn
about each other's kids,
and at the same time, have passion,
have romance, have friendship,
to see if we are compatible in that way.
Sorry.
[sighs] Well
It was beautiful. Oh
She actually does really care about me.
[Kate] I wanted to get back with Cam
because I felt like there was
still so much
that we weren't able to explore.
-How are you?
-Good. Oh, my God. You look so good.
Speak for yourself.
Holy cow!
[Kate] I felt like I owed it
to myself and to him
to really give it another shot
to see how far we can go.
-Am I gonna get my grandchildren?
-Wow! [laughs]
[Kate] Going into this, I thought
that we'd get back together straight away
and that everything
would be really smooth.
I think we'll stay
in separate rooms tonight.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
[Kate] But it has proved
a little bit more difficult than that.
What?
[Cam] When Kate cheated,
I found out via text message.
[Kate] There has been obstacles
that we've had to face.
I hope you don't break Cam's heart again.
I'm just starting to think
that this might not be a good idea.
[Kate] And being together 24/7
is a lot harder than I expected.
Ugh! Ew! Don't get them on my pillow!
[Kate] But the positives
have definitely outweighed the negatives,
and this experience has been so amazing.
[Kate laughing]
The biggest thing
that's been playing on my mind
in the last few days
is the question of whether or not
this is going to continue
into a relationship
that I can see working in the future.
Can we get through the past?
I mean, is there going to be an option
to sort of not define our relationship
by what happened?
[Kate] or whether or not
it will drift back into a friendship.
And that's been playing on my mind a lot.
[narrator] Despite Kate
breaking Cam's heart three years ago,
Cam's relished their reconnection.
But after three weeks together,
he's questioning her commitment to him.
[Cam] It's been a roller coaster
all the time being back with Kate.
Just hasn't been easy for me, I guess,
to get into another relationship
after three years
of what I thought was awesome.
[Cam] It's been a real learning curve.
You know, we went to an incredible high
-Thank you.
-No, thank you.
[Cam] then an incredible low
Is that bothering you?
Of course it's bothering me.
Were you not just in that room?
How do you think it felt
sitting in that room just then?
[Cam] and now
we're just skyrocketing back up.
[Kate laughs] It's an avalanche!
[Cam] Hearing her laugh like that
has been the best time.
But we need to just work on getting
that closeness
and a bit of trust for each other.
We've got to destroy these walls
that I've built up.
I still get, like, weirdly jealous
when you talk to guys.
-I have noticed that.
-Is it obvious?
Yes. You make it so obvious.
[Cam] Kate used to be really lovey-dovey
back when we were dating.
But recently, since we've been
seeing each other,
it's like she's been trying
to distance herself from any intimacy.
[groans]
[Cam] And I'm really thinking, like,
is it really a good idea
to give this a go and put the effort in?
Especially when I'm
not getting as much back?
You know, am I really the one
that does it for her?
Like, why does she want to do this
with me?
What do I offer to her
that no one else can?
[narrator] It's now time for Kate and Cam
to decide if they have a future together.
[Kate] Cameron is definitely
my first real love
and that means a lot to me.
I really do hope
that we have a future together
and that we're not just
holding on to feelings from the past.
My gut is telling me
that he's going be all for this,
but there is a sneaking suspicion
at the back of my mind
that he might pull out of this
and tell me that he's done.
So I'm really nervous to see him,
and I don't know what he's thinking.
[Cam] For our relationship to succeed,
I just need 100% certainty from her
that she's actually willing
to let her guard down.
We've had so much fun, but a relationship
isn't just about having fun.
If we're both not going to throw ourselves
into this 100%, then what's the point?
-You look nice.
-You look lovely.
Thank you.
-How are you?
-Good. Good.
Is there anything else
that you need to say, or
A lot of things have changed,
and a lot of things have happened
since we were last together.
And before this,
we really haven't been able to open up
and say what we are expecting from this,
or whether or not we think
it's going to go anywhere. So
this is a massive decision to make.
So is there anything
that concerns you, or
One thing that sort of, um,
rattled me a bit last night
is when you said you have a guard up,
of getting too close to me
'cause I need you
to just get more intimate.
-Like, you know what I'm like.
-Yeah.
Just I don't know,
just be more affectionate, I guess.
I think that comes with being comfortable.
And until I know that
-We're both on the right track?
-We're both on the same page
and we're both saying the same things,
I think I will have that wall up. So
So how long do you reckon, though, like
I, like Well There's that
It's also, like, what do I offer
that no one else can?
That's a question I think
I've been wanting to ask you for a while.
Just that you're so understanding, really.
Like, I can come to you
with absolutely anything,
with any feeling or anything at all,
and there's no judgement.
You just take it on board.
Obviously, feeling-wise at the moment
with being affectionate and stuff
is a different story,
but just generally, I just
I feel like I can be 100% myself
around you,
and it's not something
I can do with a lot of people.
So that's what's different about you.
[Cam] Kate really was
my first and only love.
But this decision
is incredibly hard for me.
You have no idea how hard
it is for me to say this.
I have come to a decision.
I am sorry
that this hasn't happened sooner.
I'm very much wanting to keep it going.
We mucked up once.
I think that's enough, yeah?
I agree. 100%. [laughs]
I bloody hope so.
-[Cam] That's awesome, thank you.
-[Kate] I'm glad we're on the same page.
-Definitely.
-[Kate laughs]
-100%.
-Facebook official.
Facebook official? Isn't that too soon?
No, I'm [laughs]
Yeah, okay. I can do that.
[laughs]
I can't wait to start our relationship.
I've been waiting for such a long time
for this to happen.
-Oh, nice pink lips now.
-Love it. Thank you.
I'm so glad that I said yes.
I'm really stoked about it.
[Kate] This is good. The next chapter.
[Cam] This is the best feeling
I've had in years.
[Kate sighs]
[narrator] Jeremy was the one
to reach out to his ex, Meg,
after a four-year break
to see if they could get back together.
But it's been a rocky road.
[Jeremy] The past three weeks
have been rough.
-What about if I try not to be an asshole?
-Then good. Try.
[Jeremy] There's been times
where I've had so much fun
and, like, it's been so enjoyable.
Hey, guys, we're happy! [laughs]
[Jeremy] And there's been times
when it's been tough.
Having you in my living space
is really hard.
It's really hard,
especially when you don't respect me.
[Jeremy] And I've just wanted to cry.
I don't want you to cry.
[Jeremy] I can see myself
falling in love with Meg,
but now that Meg's back,
and it's happening,
I'm still pushing her away.
Its just a natural reaction.
You're not trustworthy.
I think Jack doesn't like
how I am when I'm around you.
-Are you walking away?
-I don't like it.
You're breaking the rule
for the first time.
-Everyone was ripping on me.
-Why are you breaking the rules?
I'm going to go sit by myself.
[Jeremy] But the times that we've had
that have been good
have outweighed those bad times,
and it's been such an amazing experience.
[singing] We're going on a helicopter.
So excited. Yes!
[Jeremy] This whole thing has really
shone a light on my whole life
and I have to decide.
Is this who I want to be with
for the rest of my life?
[Meg] I think I've always liked Jeremy,
I just didn't know where he stood
Oh, my goodness.
-[Jeremy] It's been a while.
-It's been a bloody while.
[Meg] but I think we've realized
that we both still want each other.
I love Jeremy for his honesty
I don't know what you want from me.
I really don't.
I just want all of you.
I just want 100% of you.
[Meg] his fun nature
[Jeremy] Easy, easy!
[Meg] the way that he makes me laugh.
-[Meg laughing]
-[Jeremy] Step!
He can frustrate me
and he can annoy me.
-You've got a boyfriend.
-No.
You expect me to try
and fall in love with you?
[sighs] Am I really gonna hear this?
[Meg] and he can break me down.
-You're hurting my feelings.
-Why?
[Meg] The past three weeks
have been full-on,
but I don't regret
giving another go with Jeremy.
But I'm unsure
about how this is all going to go.
[narrator] Meg and Jeremy
have a love-hate relationship.
But will love conquer all
as they decide whether to stay together
or go their separate ways?
[Jeremy] I'm really feeling nervous
at the moment.
It would make me feel really bad
if Meg rejected me and told me
that she didn't want to do this.
For Meg and I to work, we have to have
more respect for each other
and we have to consider
each other's feelings.
[Meg] No matter what happens,
no matter how many fights we have
or how many uproars we have,
I still see the good in him,
and I still see the good
in our relationship.
Very soon we're going to have to make
the final decision.
My heart is going
100 million miles an hour.
-How are you?
-Good.
[Jeremy] It's going to be a possibility
that Meg is not that keen to do this.
Maybe she's having second thoughts.
So, yeah, that's sort of making me
nervous and worried.
I think I've sat up since 3:30
this morning contemplating on it.
You seem to say one thing,
and then you go back on it
and you say another thing and
I don't get it.
I think my biggest fear
is that I'll never find someone
as good as you.
-But I can't live with you
-Mmm-hmm.
[chuckles] 'cause it just doesn't work.
We've never, ever been able
to let each other go.
It's been 10 years of this,
and we're still going.
[Jeremy] How can we make this work?
I don't know. If you don't want
to make it work
then it's not going to work.
I've wanted to make this work
from the start.
I was the one that made this happen.
All I've been doing is things for you
to try to make this work.
Everything I do every day
is because of you to make you happy.
And you don't acknowledge any of it.
I'm sorry that I make you unhappy,
but I think you make me equally unhappy
with the things that you say.
-And it's sad.
-So what do you want to do?
I wanted to walk away from this with you.
So did I, but do you think
that that's going to work?
I hate that I make you so unhappy
that you don't want to be around me.
I feel hurt.
And I really didn't want that,
and I knew how easy it was going to be
for me to start liking you again,
and I hate that I make you unhappy.
[sniffles]
For the first time in our relationship,
I could see that Meg really cared.
That she really wanted to make it work.
It's really, really hard
to keep loving you.
But I do really, really love you.
I love you, too. Just a little bit.
Now all I want to do is
I want to make things work,
I want to I want to give it 100%,
and I
and I don't want to do
anything wrong by him.
I don't want to do anything to hurt him.
Jeremy is the person
that I want to be with,
and he's always been the person
I want to be with.
-So you do want to be with me?
-I do, I really do want to be with you.
Then we can make it work.
[Jeremy sighs]
[Jeremy] I'm in love with her,
and I don't think I'll love anyone
like I love Meg.
I'm not ready to give up yet.
[Erik] Everything is at stake
with our relationship.
We've gone through a lot of ups and downs.
I just need you to really know
that I need honesty and no lies.
[Erik] It was a bit of a struggle
on the first step of our journey
Erik, you changed every part of me.
-You did!
-Oh, okay. Well
-Stop lying!
-I'm not lying.
I can't do it, I'm sorry.
[Erik] but as much as we've had
our differences,
she's changed,
and I've changed for the better.
-Yeah! Oh, good shot! [laughs]
-Oh!
[Erik] Lauren and I have seemed
to have drawn a line in the sand
and we're getting along quite well,
which is the total opposite
of how it's been for the last few weeks.
I've never felt this romantic with you.
-No?
-Yeah, I'm really liking new relaxed Erik.
[Erik] I don't think
there'll be another one like her.
She's the first. And the last.
[narrator] For Lauren, this was a chance
to see if Erik's changed for the better,
and whether he's the one
she wants to settle down with.
[Lauren] I wanted to get back together
with Erik because
over the time we were separated,
I did think about him often.
-You look amazing.
-Oh, thank you.
-You do.
-You're making me nervous.
[Lauren] I was always thinking
that maybe he has changed,
maybe he just needed time away to mature
and experience being with other people,
and I just wanted to give it
one more chance to really see
if we could make it work.
You actually look a little bit younger.
Yeah, 'cause I'm not stressed out
from you.
Oh!
Jeez, that one's a bit of a blow there.
[Lauren] Although I was quite shocked
to feel a lot of anger towards Erik
when we first reconnected.
-Two seconds.
-No, what two seconds, what?
You're lying about everything.
[Lauren] Although we have got
the bad stuff out of the way,
there are still some negative thoughts
that are lingering.
-Can I please have a plate?
-Over here. Over here.
-[laughing] Can I use the plate, please?
-My way first. My way first.
Attagirl!
[Lauren] But over the last few weeks,
my feelings for Erik are opening up again.
I'm feeling a lot more positive
and warmer towards him.
Oh, my God. [laughs]
I love Ferraris!
[Lauren] I'm feeling
the person he is today
is a lot more genuine
than he used to be
This feels so different this time.
[Lauren] So it has made me feel
reassured and happy
to have made this decision
to reconnect with him.
[narrator] Now it's time
for Erik and Lauren to finally decide
whether their future will be together.
[Erik] I'm waiting there.
I was hoping that she would come
with open arms
and feel the same way as I did.
[Lauren] There are some moments
where I feel
I know what my decision will be,
but then something will happen,
and it will make me doubt again,
and I feel this scaredness
and the emotions coming back.
[Erik] The fact that I am standing there
is an action of commitment.
Lauren's the one that got away.
If I get this opportunity, it's
it's got to be for the long haul.
[Lauren] The stakes
are really high right now.
I want to get married,
I want to start a family.
My girlfriends are all married,
they've all got families of their own.
It's something I've always
dreamed of having.
So the decision is going to have
to be real, and we both want it to happen.
-Hi.
-Hi. [chuckles]
-You made it.
-I made it.
You look very nice.
-So do you.
-How are you feeling?
-Bit nervous.
-Yeah?
The last few weeks, I feel
the time that we spent together,
we have grown.
I know we've been different people
in the past
but the time apart has actually
let us grow and change.
I don't want to hurt you.
I want to try my best
not to actually hurt you
and do the right thing towards us.
I've always loved you.
I'm always going to love you.
I want to speak from the heart
for a moment.
I would love it if you were my girlfriend,
and I would love to have you by my side.
So much is going through my mind
right now.
I've thought over the last few weeks
about us and do we want this?
Can we do it again?
This is the seventh chance I've given you,
and this is absolutely huge to me.
I've come into this,
and I put everything on the line.
I risked getting my heart broken again,
and I've really got to feel what it's like
to be back together again.
I can see how much you have tried,
and I can see how much that you do love me
and I do love you.
Although this is hard for me to say
I'm sorry, but I don't want to continue
in a relationship with you.
I've tried to open my heart,
and I just can't be romantic with you,
and I'm sorry about that,
I just can't force myself to do that.
Not good.
Hearing Lauren's decision is not good.
I really hope you understand,
and I'm sorry
if it's not the outcome
that you were looking for.
Lauren can't open her heart.
She said it.
I'm hoping that we can
still be friends with each other.
I think we have a great friendship,
and as a friendship, we work.
[Erik] Calling Lauren my best friend
It's going to be hard to get used to.
So I guess that's it?
Well, we've tried our hardest,
and I have honestly tried my hardest.
I've thought long and hard,
and there were times
where I felt myself opening up again,
but I I just can't make a commitment.
[Lauren] I feel a massive weight
has been lifted off my shoulders.
I've given it my all.
It's something I needed to do.
He was always in the back of my mind.
I gave him so many chances.
I was happy to give him this last chance,
because I do now know that the chapter
of Erik and Lauren has closed.
[Erik] The mind can shut off,
but the heart can't.
I think time heals all wounds.
This will take a while.
Heartbreak is the Brooklyn Bridge.
It's Lauren.
It's goodbyes. It's best friends.
It's a memory.
[Erik] The future holds
probably some more work for Erik.
I gave a lot away to show Lauren
that I was changed, but
oh, well. Back to the old routine.
[Peter] Right now,
I'm starting to get nervous.
Probably because I know
that we're leaving Paris in a few days.
And we're going to be apart,
and I'm not looking forward to it.
It just seems like last year
that Diane was walking up the stairs
in that gorgeous little black dress
and I'm nervously waiting.
It was the first time I'd seen her
in 28 years
-[Diane] Oh, my God.
-I can't believe this.
[Peter] and that was the start
of this roller coaster ride
which has not stopped.
-[pops]
-[yelps]
[Peter] It's been thrilling,
there's been moments of utter elation.
[Peter] What do you think
of the car? [laughs]
[Peter] It's just been
one of the best experiences of my life.
[Diane] Nothing compares.
Nothing compares.
[Peter] I'm just so lucky
to be able to reunite
with someone that was always
special to me.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
[Peter] I love this woman.
I love her with all my heart,
and it's growing stronger,
but I'm still worried
that she may not feel the same way
or think that I'm as committed to this
as I am.
I don't like that little bit of sarcasm.
I'm an Aussie.
We've got different ways of saying things.
[Peter] I've taken that on board,
and it hasn't bothered me.
Our relationship is fantastic,
and the rest we can sort out.
-Here's to us, darling.
-Yes.
[Peter] I would love nothing more
than spending the rest of my life
with Diane.
You're very special.
[Peter] As our time together
draws to a close,
I've already made up my mind
and I just truly hope
that Diane feels the same way I do.
[Diane] In the last three weeks,
I feel like
I've just evolved with Peter around.
We have spent day in and day out together.
No one has done that for me for a while.
[Diane] I have gotten to see
the beautiful parts of Peter
that I didn't even know
when we were young.
[Diane] I feel free!
[Peter] Oh, my God.
I can't believe we're doing this.
[Diane] He is kind and caring,
and he has that sweet nature about him
of wanting to take care of somebody,
and he wants to take care of me.
You are my special guest.
And I really want to spoil you.
[Diane] But I still have so many fears
of relinquishing control
-Have you looked at eye level?
-[chuckles] No.
I told you look at eye level!
[Diane] of sharing my space
You know what, you kind of ruin it now.
[Diane] of finances
[Diane] Is there a store brand?
It's cheaper.
[Diane] of having more people
in my life to care for,
and I'm still in processing phase.
I'm still figuring out
if we have enough here
and enough of a basis
for Peter and I to communicate
What's bizarre is your reaction
to something that is so trivial.
[Diane] and then to feel love
towards one another
for me to feel comfortable moving forward.
[narrator] Distance was the reason
Diane and Peter parted ways.
Now 28 years later,
will love bring them together?
[Peter] As I'm walking through the park,
I'm all over the place emotionally.
I was almost in tears
and self-doubt racking my brain.
I was more nervous than I was
when we first met again after 28 years,
weeks ago in Sydney.
[Diane] I'm feeling extremely anxious.
We're parting ways
because of the distance.
We're so far apart, and we need to have
some sort of resolution now.
[Peter] As I'm standing there,
waiting and waiting
my head's just spinning with the positives
and then self-doubt on one side,
and am I doing the right thing?
[Diane] I'm ready for commitment.
If Peter doesn't make a commitment,
we'll go our separate ways.
I don't see it happening long-distance
with a "let's see how it goes."
[Peter] As Diane's walking towards me,
I look at that gorgeous smile,
and I realize I'm not going
to let this woman go again.
-Hello, darling. Fancy meeting you here.
-Yeah.
I couldn’t imagine a better place to be.
We're both heading back home pretty soon.
I think we both know
we have to make a decision
as to where our relationship
goes from here.
Us two together.
I'm so used to being alone,
and I'm so comfortable being alone,
but then I constantly
have to remind myself
I wasn't meant to be alone.
I don't want to be alone.
-I want to
-[Peter] Neither of us were.
[Diane] No.
So it's time to relinquish
some of that responsibility to me.
Yeah, that's hard to do.
[Peter] You never know what to say.
You've got so much spinning
through your mind and you just
feel that you're going to stuff it up
or you'll blurt out with something
that sounds corny.
[Peter] I don't really [voice breaks]
That was so special to me.
[Peter] But the minute I started to speak
and just looked in her eyes,
it just came out exactly
as I wanted it to.
Yeah. We have to think about each other.
And our happiness.
Diane, will you marry me?
[Diane whispers] Oh, my God.
-Yes?
-Yes.
Now you've got to help me get up,
my old knees.
-[grunts]
-[Diane] That was Oh, my God!
[whispers] Wow.
-Can I put it on?
-Yeah.
Think it's gonna fit?
[Diane] I am the luckiest girl alive.
-So that's a yes?
-Yes.
[Peter] Darling, I'm so happy.
[Diane] It makes me feel excited
about my future, it makes me feel like
this is the incredible I've been wanting.
And you've been nothing
but everything, and
I didn't know how I would do this
without a commitment,
and you've given that to me.
It's just amazing to think
that this moment has arrived.
It was really happening.
[sighs] I think I'm going to be a mess
when she walks down that aisle.
Can you believe it's taken over 28 years
for this to happen?
[chuckles] Better late than never.
-[Diane] You know I'm difficult. [laughs]
-[Peter] I like a challenge.
[narrator] Since filming ended,
Cam has moved in with Kate,
and their relationship
is going from strength to strength.
Meg and Jeremy have tried
to sort out their trust issues,
but unfortunately, they couldn't,
and they separated after filming ended.
Erik and Lauren are still single
and looking for love.
Peter and Diane are making plans
to marry later this year.
They're planning on living
in North Carolina and in Australia.
