Offspring (2010) s06e09 Episode Script

1 I know I've acted like a douche and I just hope this helps to, I'm sorry.
How will I know when I'm a Proudman? There's a gaping big hole where Darcy used to be, and I can't ignore it.
What do I do? You stay here.
Thank you, Marjorie.
[whistles.]
I'm having a little trouble with a neighbour, This is where I really live.
Would you like to see inside? I'd love to.
Dr.
Proudman, you know Dr.
Angus Freeman, Director of Clinical Education? Oh, piss off.
I'm having a lovely time.
- Are you okay? - Oh, I'm pretty pissed.
But in a bigger sense.
But it's so perfect for us.
You know, there's room for Mick to record, for Brody to study for the baby.
Is Brody's Mum okay with her staying? I'll let Brody handle it.
She's talking to Stacey every day.
Have you thought about what happens when she leaves? - She's not going to leave.
- Oh, yes.
Yes she is.
Because sooner or later that's what pregnant teenagers do.
They go home.
Nina, what did you do with Patrick's sperm? I used it.
Made embryos.
I told you a bit and I told you a different bit.
Do you know what, what really pisses me off? You don't believe that I can be happy without children, and you have to keep shoving me off balance with this message about what I should be doing without even without even consulting me.
You know what the number one rule of crisis management is? See the crisis coming and avoid it.
You think I'm a disaster? And I don't think you're ready to be with me.
Patrick, I don't want to be in the real world anymore.
Come to bed.
Offspring 6x09 "Tried and Tested" Sep 7, 2016 You did it.
Harry, I'm so sorry.
You don't need to apologise.
- You're fine.
- Really? I completely understand why you did this.
It's amazing, isn't it? You did the right thing, Neens.
Billie, I'm so sorry too.
Oh, please.
You're the one who's been suffering alone without anyone to talk to.
You're not angry? Or, hurt? Nina, no matter what you do, I will love you.
No matter how much you break my heart, no matter how insensitive or cruel, it's not your fault.
You're the victim of a very unusual situation.
And you've handled yourself with dignity and humility.
You should be proud.
You're both just saying what I want to hear, aren't you? - Yes.
- Absolutely.
I reckon they're clean.
Sorry? Sorry.
Oh why, oh why, oh why? Won't you sing? Bring your hips to me Oh, bring your hips Oh, oh, bring your hips to me To me Oh, bring your hips to me Oh, bring your hips Oh, oh, bring your hips to me To me To me Oh why, oh why? Oh why? Won't you sing? Hey, what about fish? Mum's a vegetarian.
Even fish, though? Fish is not a vegetable.
She just eats buns and butter anyway.
Don't try too hard.
That's not how this house works.
Your Mum's coming to lunch with the Proudmans.
Mum's bringing her new boyfriend, my new and wonderful boss is coming.
Is Will coming? Exactly.
This house is going to be about bringing people together.
This is a house of love.
Food has to be outstanding.
What? Nothing.
Hi, Nina, it's Linda from the clinic.
Just to let you know that five out of the eight embryos have made it through to blastocyte stage.
They're viable and ready to implant so please give me a call as soon as you can to discuss the options from here.
[Nina.]
Why not just implant one? All the bombs have gone off.
Everyone knows everything, so take that one final step.
Have another baby.
Nina.
Angus! Oh, hello.
Oh, yeah, hi.
Oh yeah, that's that's good, hi.
Here for another rotation? Yes, I'm just waiting for my students.
Oh, good.
It's nice to see you again.
Oh, well, you too.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, hi.
Um you don't want to forget this.
I brought it for you.
Thank you.
I'll get that back to you.
No worries.
- Well, I'll, uh, I'll see you around.
- Yeah, hopefully.
I won't go in for the kiss goodbye thing.
- [chuckles.]
- No.
Okay.
[laughs hesitantly.]
[Nina.]
You've decided.
Have another child for Zoe.
And if that's the case, you have to tell your family.
And Harry.
[knocking at door.]
Mum, I've decided to have another baby.
Are you completely insane? What on earth gave you the impression it was a good idea to become the single mother of two children? Well, don't expect me to look after it.
Oh, perfect.
Hello! What? - Walk slowly.
Renato's here.
- Oh.
I want you to talk him out of coming to Billie's lunch.
Mum, didn't you turn him away from the wedding? Yes, he didn't mind.
You have to introduce him to the family at some point.
He's your boyfriend.
That's the point.
He's not.
After the lunch he will graduate to that if everything goes well.
But, if it doesn't, I'll have to end it with him.
Either way, it's just easier if he doesn't come.
Then he's in limbo land.
Exactly.
Purgatory.
But it's the safest place to keep him.
I don't even know whether I like him that much.
He's got a nice voice, and he's got a lovely body Mummy! - Hi, Zozo! - Hi, Mummy.
Hello! Hi, gorgeous girl.
[Nina.]
It's the first time you've had a relationship without Dad on the scene, and you're nervous.
Talk him out of it, Nina.
So did you grow up in Melbourne? We ended up here after moving around a lot.
And what about your family? Geraldine tells me nothing.
[laughs.]
That's not true.
Actually, you first told me you had one son, he was in jail.
Did I? I think you were trying to keep me at arms length.
Oh, well Now I have Nina here, I can find out the truth.
Oh, well, it's not nearly as interesting as all that.
We're a pretty normal family.
Boring, even.
Most people would call us dull.
Especially when we get together.
Just endless, excruciating small talk.
And snide, sarcastic humour.
Terrible table manners.
Adults who eat like pigs.
Very messy.
And overly involved in each other's affairs.
Yes.
I'm also implanting an embryo tomorrow that was grown in a Petri dish with Patrick's frozen sperm.
Are you completely insane! So, with all of that in mind, Nina I suppose Mum's just wanting to check that you're ready for lunch with us.
Exactly.
Though it feels like you're trying to talk me out of it - No, no.
- I'd love to come.
Family's complicated.
I'm ready for anything.
[Nina.]
Well, are you going to put everyone to bed? And put doggy to bed now? It's nearly bedtime.
Put him away.
Oh.
We're going to dinner.
Going to dinner? Okay.
[Nina.]
Should I tell Harry? Would he want to know? [dialling.]
[phone ringing.]
Hi, Nina.
Harry.
Where are you? Uh, just finished work.
Can you talk? Can can we talk? Thank you for coming.
That's okay.
It's on the way.
I want to tell you something.
Because I want to stop hiding things and running away from difficult conversations.
Okay.
I I think I've decided No.
I have.
I want to try and have this second baby.
Right.
Well, that's that.
But, I want to know what to do about you.
I don't know what to do about us.
[chuckles.]
What about us? Well, I I just I really like you.
And if it were different circumstances I wouldn't be saddled with this huge dilemma.
It would be smoother.
You say you've been saddled with this, but you've put yourself here.
Well, no, that's not true.
You did.
This whole thing could have been so much easier.
No, these decisions have been forced on me, Harry.
Well, you think? This is an event in my life that I have to deal with.
I didn't ask for Jodie to turn up.
I didn't ask for Patrick to donate sperm.
No, you didn't.
But, I don't wander around looking for these things to happen.
I'm not I'm not a walking crisis.
No, but every decision you seem to be making is ratcheting up the pressure on you, tighter and tighter.
You may not be a crisis, but you're in a crisis pattern.
And despite all this, annoyingly, I still really like you, too.
[cellphone vibrates.]
That's them.
I'll call them back.
That's that's the clinic.
- Tell them.
- No.
- Tell them.
- No.
Give them your answer.
[cellphone continues to vibrate.]
Hello? Nina! I thought I might try you before I head home.
Um, [stuttering.]
how are things going? Well, we have four viable embryos, which is wonderful.
Yeah, that's wonderful.
So my suggestion would be to make an appointment for tomorrow if you wanted to go ahead - and implant one of them.
- Oh, right.
[Nina.]
With this one decision you could be pregnant by the end of tomorrow.
Okay.
Wonderful, Nina.
That's just wonderful.
So, what's the earliest you can make it? You can't miss Billie's lunch.
Um, I actually have something really important um, would four be okay? Can we say two? The sooner the better.
Okay, fine.
Thanks.
We'll see you then.
[Nina.]
Okay, Billie.
Here we go.
You're early.
Just thought we'd come and help.
[Nina.]
Start with a lie.
Nice.
Okay.
Brody! Hi, big girl.
[sighs.]
Hey, do you want to come and see my room? - [gasps.]
Let's go and see my room.
- [chuckles.]
Maybe you could check to see if we've got enough plates and forks.
Billie, I'm here for another reason.
- Yeah? - I want to talk to you.
I'm going to implant an embryo.
Holy shit.
I know.
- When? - Today.
So you can't come for lunch? Stupid thing to say.
No, after the lunch.
This afternoon.
It's this afternoon.
I don't know what to say.
I actually have no idea how to respond.
There's something else - Please, can that be enough for now? - [beeps.]
Oh shit.
Oh, shit! Shit, shit, shit.
No, it's okay, it's okay.
It's just the just the top.
It's okay.
Billie.
There's more than one embryo.
Now I know you said you don't want me to ask again - Nina.
- I just don't want to find out six months on that you would have taken one.
Because they're right there.
[sighs.]
And I have to triple check.
I know what you're asking comes from a place of consideration, but just to be clear, I've closed that door.
I'm the only one who can open it.
Oh, I'm I'm sorry.
Let me help you.
No, it's okay.
It's - No, I I got it.
I got it, Neens.
- Okay.
- No, I've got this, Neens.
- Okay.
Should I go? Probably.
Just for now.
I can't - I can't kind of concentrate.
- Yeah.
- But come back and we'll start again.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
And I'll come back for lunch.
Nina? Can I talk to you? Of course.
Everything all right? There's something really bad I need to tell Billie.
What? It's really bad.
So my Mum's coming today.
Yes? And she doesn't know I'm pregnant.
[sighs.]
Right.
- You really need to go and tell Billie.
- I know.
I know.
I'm going to tell her, I'm going to, I'm trying to find the right moment and it hasn't come.
But I'm going to tell her.
You really need to tell her before your Mum gets here.
I know.
- I'm going to tell her right now.
- Good.
Yeah, good.
Good idea.
Shall I just come with you? No, no! It's it's okay.
I can do it.
- It's okay.
Just tell her straight.
- Yep.
Cool.
[Jimmy.]
Where are you guys off to? We are going to the park and then a cafe.
See you back here? Yeah, wherever.
You're amazing.
Not really.
Okay, I'm late.
Bye, mate.
See ya.
Okay.
[chuckles.]
Okay.
Don't pull Dad's head off, mate.
- Can I come with you? - No, buddy.
Nope, I'm not letting you go.
- Oh, please.
He's so strong.
- No.
Run like the wind.
I will.
Bye.
Bye bye.
[whispers.]
I don't want him to go.
Yeah.
Where was I today? Well, I was worrying away Inhibition on a mission I feel like an overgrown kitten.
So I could take the other side Of the roller coaster ride Like I don't need you But I know I need you So instead I just went back to bed And hoped it's all in my head [both grunting.]
Yeah, it's all in my head Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh [grunting.]
I'll just call Zara.
Short leash.
I'm sure she's coping fine without you.
Yeah, of course she's fine.
Actually, I've no idea how she is.
The only time we ever speak is to organise things.
Who's got the kids, where's the money coming from.
We're trying to be nice to each other and not complain, but that means we hardly ever speak.
Well, I don't know how you do it, mate.
That juggle.
I don't think we're doing it very well.
How long have you been together? It's kind of hard to tell.
We were kind of open for a long time.
But somehow we became Mr.
and Mrs.
Conventional.
Do you ever want to have kids? Yeah.
Yeah, it's in my ten year plan.
You have a ten year plan? You don't? I don't even have a one month plan.
Well, I could do one for you, if you want.
Maybe.
Yeah.
- Totally up to you, though.
- No, maybe that would be good.
Great.
[chuckles.]
All right.
- [phone ringing.]
- Ten year plan.
[Zara.]
Hello? - Just checking in.
- Oh, you don't think I can do it? No, I'm just being a caring husband.
Oh, right.
Yeah, things are fine.
- Are you still at home? - No.
No, we're at a cafe.
The kids are being great.
Oh, that's great.
Okay, well I'm going to go back to Will's.
Should I see you at Billie's? Yep.
Easy.
Okay then, bye.
Bye.
I think your Mum should sit here.
Guest of honour.
- Okay.
- And then you can sit here, - next to her.
- Can I sit a bit further away.
Okay, well, then I can sit here and then Nina can sit there.
[beeping.]
One hour.
You nervous? Ah, it's been a while.
Think we should say grace? We probably should.
- Do you even know grace? - No.
I hope she likes your room.
And the cot.
- Oh God, do you think maybe she wanted to buy the cot? - Billie.
We've bought so much stuff.
She hasn't had a chance to buy anything for the baby.
Have you told her I'll be living here for good? I told her you could stay as long as you want and she only wanted to talk to you.
I mean, it's great that she's coming, because we can heal.
I mean, today is all about healing.
It's going to be great.
Because this is our chance to really show her, she'll have a great time and realise she can come here after the baby comes and stay whenever she wants.
Here, you finish those.
[sighs.]
Do you want the shower first, bro? No, I'm good.
You go.
Right, sparkling re-hydration in the fridge.
Okay.
Holy shit.
Oh, God.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, gold.
Jimmy.
Did you get that? What is it? [Jimmy laughing.]
It's Will's kitchen.
Suddenly he makes sense.
Jimmy, does he know you're in his house? Nina, "Attitude is success".
[Nina.]
Jimmy, what are you doing? Oh, or the more simple, "I am enough".
Jimmy, stop it.
What if he sees you? Neens, "A double negative forms a positive, but a double positive can never form a negative.
" Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen, Neens.
Jimmy, I'm getting off the phone.
I want no part of this.
Okay, bye.
[sighs.]
I'm so sorry, Will.
That No, those? They're, um, they're nothing.
Those are [chuckles.]
They're not serious.
I'm sorry.
They all seem really positive.
It's great to be positive.
Um I'm so sorry, Will.
That was really mean.
[laughs.]
Your face! You looked like you were about to cry, man! - Oh, man! - Oh, I'm sorry, Will.
Oh, always believe that something wonderful is just about to happen! Come on, Alfie, up! Come here.
We need to put your pants on and go to Aunty Billie's.
- No, Daddy.
- No, I'm Mummy.
No.
No, Alfie, please just put your pants on.
No! Hi.
I have to tell you something really shit.
- Oh? - You're gonna be mad.
- I won't be mad.
- You will.
[knock at door.]
Tell me.
They can wait.
Doesn't matter.
I'll I'll tell you later.
You sure? Hello! - Flowers.
- This is Renato.
Hello, Renato.
Oh.
Hello! Hello, welcome.
[children laughing.]
- Brody! - [indistinct conversation.]
I'm sorry, I only brought children.
That's okay.
We can eat them.
[growls playfully.]
Hi.
I brought you this.
I thought you might like to put it on the wall.
Oh, Neens, it's Thank you.
And some wine, of course.
You okay? I just want today to go well.
Yeah, me too.
What time's your appointment? - Two.
Yeah.
- You nervous? - I should be taking you.
- No, no.
I'm going to be okay.
Hi.
You've got to help me.
- You haven't told her, have you? - No.
You have to tell her.
Your Mum's going to be here any second.
- Can you come with me? - Yes, of course! Welcome, everyone, to our home.
Can I offer anyone a drink? Yes, anything you've got.
Rose.
- We should have champagne.
- Of course.
Billie.
Could Brody just needs to tell you something.
Renato, would you mind popping the champagne? - Of course.
- Hello.
Hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You must be Renato.
- This is Jimmy, my son.
- Hi.
- Is this what you wanted to tell me before? - Yes.
And you've already told Nina? Well, no.
Yes.
I tried to tell you.
- She did.
- It's okay.
Go ahead.
So my Mum might be a bit shocked today and maybe pissed off.
When she arrives? Well, after After? Billie, it appears Stacey knows nothing about the pregnancy.
Yes, she does.
- Doesn't she? - I haven't told her.
- You didn't told her? - No.
- You told me you told her.
- I tried to.
You haven't told her? No! She doesn't want to talk to me.
What about all those conversations on the phone? I felt it kick today.
It's like a little tap under your ribs.
- Were you faking it? - Sometimes.
- Who were you talking to? - No one.
Your mother is coming to lunch and she has no idea you're pregnant? I'm really, really, really sorry.
That doesn't do anything! What were you thinking? What'd you think was going to happen? Billie.
- And you knew? - Only this morning.
It's okay, it's okay.
Okay, okay, look, um We'll we'll We'll just sit her down and we'll gently explain how it happened.
Yeah.
It'll be okay.
I'm glad you told me.
[knock at door.]
- That's her.
- Hey.
[squeals.]
- Neens, I'm such an idiot! - No.
She's been lying the whole time.
How did I not see that coming? - Do you want me to get it? - No.
I'll get it.
[Nina.]
Even by our standards, this is shaping up to be a disaster.
Hi, Stacey.
Hey, Billie.
Come in.
[indistinct chatter.]
Ah, most of you will remember Stacey.
- Hi, Stacey.
- [knocking at door.]
- Actually, would you mind someone, thank you.
- Yep, yep.
Yes, most of you will remember Stacey, my old friend and Brody's current Mum.
Sorry.
Mum.
[laughing.]
[sighs.]
And here's Kerry, my current boss.
- Hello.
- Hi, Kerry.
So where's Brody? Um, she's still getting ready.
You know teenagers.
Oh no, Uh Will, no.
No, he can sit here.
You can sit here, Will.
No, no.
Yes.
I'm sorry, yeah.
Could you swap? Could you swap? - You want me over there? - Yeah.
Better balance.
- Smells delicious.
- Smells really tasty, Billie.
Ah, it's all delicious and all vegetarian.
Why? - Because you're vegetarian, aren't you? - No.
[laughing.]
[Nina.]
Say something pleasant.
- Well, this is pleasant.
- It sure is.
Family get-together.
What were you worried about? No sarcasm.
Nice manners.
Mm.
Yes.
So, Stacey, how's the commune? Oh, it's not a commune.
Do you live in a commune? No, it's a community of like-minded families.
- Is that a spiritual thing? - No.
I went to an ashram once.
- They say chanting has health benefits.
- No, it's not a commune.
[clears throat.]
[Billie laughing.]
So have you just sort of moved in here? - Yes.
- Where's Mick? He's in the UK.
Oh.
So it's just you and Brody, then? Yes, for as long as she wants, or as long as, you know, we all want.
As long as you want.
So I'm included in that then, am I? Yeah, of course.
[cellphone vibrates.]
[Nina.]
Oh God, not now.
Actually, Stacey, there's something you should know, - Billie.
- which I thought you knew.
Are there pistachios in this bread? Is this a good time to talk about this? Turns out you don't.
Wine, anyone? I think there are pistachios in this bread.
- I'll have another.
- No, thanks.
I'll have one, too.
No, I won't.
Sorry, can't.
Why not? I don't drink, either.
Oh, that's congratulations.
It's good to take a break.
Is my face going red? - Some of it.
- Like in blotches? Bread, Geraldine? Tomato, Renato? No thanks, mate.
- Actually, Stacey, I think we should talk.
- Yeah, sure.
Let's do it in the other room.
Where is Brody? - I think we should talk first.
- Right.
Is she actually even here? Hi, Mum.
What have you got under there? How far gone are you? Nice to see you too, Mum.
Brody.
How pregnant are you? Still a few weeks to go.
Oh! Come on! No, Stacey, wait! This is all just some kind of game to you, isn't it, Billie? - Excuse me? - Nina, did she not know? Oh, bits and pieces.
No.
[knock at door.]
I'll get that.
That'll be Mum.
- What? - Who invited Marjorie? Mum! Billie did, I think, because she wanted to keep her involved.
It'll be nice.
Here she is.
Hello, Marjorie! - You know everyone.
- Yeah.
- Oh, hello, you two.
- Hello.
[sighs.]
Lovely.
[cellphone vibrates.]
[clears throat.]
I can't believe that you didn't tell me, Billie.
Stacey, you made it abundantly clear that this was personal between you and Brody and I was respecting that.
You've been taken for a ride because she's a liar.
Mum! All kids are liars and this one's an expert.
If you really believed that I was chatting away to her about her being pregnant, and I was all fine and happy about it, you're hardly the right person to be her Mum.
I'm not trying to be her Mum.
She trusted me, Mum.
She trusts me.
Not like you or Dane, or any of the elders up there.
You all think I'm full of sin.
Well, take a look at yourself, Brody.
Take a look at yourself.
If you're not a walking, talking creature of sin in need of salvation, - I don't know what is.
- You can talk! I made mistakes, yes.
And I atoned for them and you're going to too.
We can work through this.
We can navigate through this.
You feel like your concerns aren't being addressed.
That must feel terrible.
I was thinking about you when I was driving here last night and the last time we met Billie.
You tried to take my baby then, too.
What? You tried to take my son then, too.
You're a baby snatcher, and you've finally got Brody and a new baby.
[Billie.]
You bitch! Oh! Thank God something's happening.
This is the family we warned you about.
- Do you want a wine, Mum? - Champagne.
I didn't realise that this was the "introduce Renato to the family" day.
It's a housewarming, too.
And Brody's baby bombshell.
Jimmy.
[Kerry coughing.]
Are we okay with this? Of course.
Why wouldn't we be? Marjorie, would you like to try some bread? Unless you have a pistachio allergy.
It's just you're doing a lot of staring.
- Am I? - Mmm.
Maybe I'm just wondering who the real Geraldine is.
[scoffs.]
Meaning? I didn't think the real Geraldine would date a phone pest.
You're a phone pest! Okay.
Billie, if you wouldn't mind just going back to your lunch, please.
I need to talk to Brody alone, mother to daughter.
I miss you, baby.
Your brother and your sister miss you.
Tears every night.
I don't want you to make the same mistakes I have.
Mum, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was pregnant.
Come here, baby.
[sighs.]
I'm not listening.
I am listening.
- You have to go get pregnant.
- Yeah.
But I can't leave you here now.
No, no, go.
I know how to handle this.
I'm going to diplomacy the shit out of this situation.
Your presence won't help.
In fact, it might hinder.
Billie, I honestly thought she was going to tell you.
It's okay.
You stuffed up but I'm going to fix this.
- Just go.
- Okay.
Good luck.
And call me as soon as you're done.
Okay.
[Geraldine.]
I'm glad this is happening here where everyone can see your true colours! - [phone rings.]
- [Linda.]
Hello, Gray Street Fertility.
Linda, hi, it's Nina.
I'm sorry, I'm running a little late.
There's been some family issues.
But I can still get there.
Uh.
Nina, I'm sorry to tell you that since we spoke, none of the embryos have made it through.
They've all failed, I'm afraid.
We're very sorry.
We'd like you to come in and talk [Nina.]
None of them made it.
Should I be devastated? Or relieved? [Linda.]
I know this must be a disappointment but the sooner you make a decision about the future Linda, sorry, um, I I should go.
But, I'll call you soon.
Okay.
Bye bye, Nina.
[Nina.]
Now what do I do? [dialling.]
Should you really be calling Harry! [Harry.]
Hi, Nina.
I don't know why I'm calling you.
What's wrong? I actually don't know who else to call.
Sorry.
Things change when you have a child.
Up there you can be schooled, and you can learn how to be a Mum.
- A better Mum than me.
- But I want to stay here.
Brody, up there you have a real family, not pretend.
You need that.
I hate it there.
I don't want to raise my baby there.
Nobody likes me.
And I don't believe in anything you guys believe in.
I want to be in the city.
Well, you know what? It's about that baby in your belly, my grandson or, my grand-daughter.
And you don't have final say in it.
I don't want to talk about this anymore, Mum! Just go home! Brody.
You lured me! Brody! And led me down the path of indulgence and isolation.
Oh, rubbish! I was perfectly happy and healthy before you people came along.
Oh, you two, stop flirting.
I beg your pardon! There's room enough for both of us in Geraldine's life.
- What? Oh, please! - Come on, Will, we're out of here.
No, we don't fit in, not with this hodge-podge, self-obsessed nosy family with no moral rudder.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Who do you think you are? Did she say a moral rudder? Stacey, Brody said she doesn't want to leave.
You're welcome to visit whenever you like.
We can work something out, Mum.
I'm staying, Mum.
Let us all just have a drink and talk about If you don't come with me now, Brody, you will never see me again.
- [Jimmy.]
Whoa! Okay, that is not - I mean it, Brody.
You're dead to me, if you don't come with me now.
It's not working.
It's not working! I've left.
- I've left.
- Hey, hey.
I haven't been to med school in weeks! And I've failed I've done something terrible.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not no, it's not.
I've failed the degree.
[sobbing.]
So and I've failed you and I've failed everything.
I've failed the kids and I - I've done something really terrible.
- No, its all right.
Yes, let me go! It's over! It's all been for nothing! - Jimmy, just take Zara home.
- [child crying.]
I thought I no, it's not no I need more than that! - Hey, little buddy.
Here, Geraldine.
- Just take them.
Just take them because they don't even want me.
[crying.]
[indistinct chatter and laughter.]
[Nina.]
Why can't I leave this man alone? What do I say to him? - Hi.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey.
What's happened? Um, do you want a drink? Yeah, I'll get it.
Um, hey, mate.
Just a beer and whatever she was having.
What's happened? [sighs.]
I just had a call from the fertility clinic.
The embryos weren't viable.
None of them.
Hmm.
I don't know whether I'm devastated or relieved.
Or both.
I actually don't I don't know.
But what I do know is that as soon as it happened, I wanted to hear your voice.
Please say something.
I don't know why you're telling me this.
Because I needed to see you.
Well, what do you want me to say? - Don't know.
[chuckles.]
- [chuckles.]
I'm really sorry to hear it.
I know you'd decided to become pregnant and it can't be easy to hear that none of the embryos made it.
It must be really painful.
But I can't be your second option.
No, that That's not what I'm saying.
Oh.
Then why did you call me? Because you're becoming really important to me.
You made the choice to become pregnant.
And I absolutely understand why.
That doesn't mean it didn't hurt.
Okay.
I'm really, genuinely sorry to hear this hasn't worked out.
But I can't just bounce back from that.
I can't just pick up where we left off.
No, I'm not asking you to do that.
I can't.
I've been here before.
I've been in relationships before where I'm constantly fixing things.
And I become the caretaker.
And maybe I do it to myself but it's not what I want anymore.
I want to be with someone who laughs with me and tells me to lighten up, and [cellphone vibrates.]
Answer it.
Hi, Billie.
Neens, she's gone.
Can you please come? Yeah.
I'm coming.
What happened? Ah, Stacey just turned.
Please come home.
[crying.]
Please, just for now.
I miss you.
I miss you so much, baby.
I've messed up.
I felt so bad for her.
[sighs.]
Sounds terrible to say but I still don't know if it was real.
[Nina.]
If what was real? If Stacey really did lose it or if she was putting it all on.
God, I'm a bitch.
No you're not.
You're a saint.
[laughs.]
What am I going to do, Neens? All alone in this big empty house.
Did you get pregnant? They're gone.
They're all none of them made it.
I'm so sorry.
[crying.]
Jimmy, I I want to move out.
What? No! No, don't.
You're not feeling good I slept with someone else.
Angus.
I'm sorry.
[sobbing.]
You think Patrick was the love of your life.
He was.
What if he's not the only one? In the gripping Offspring Season Finale.
- Who's that? - Daddy.
Will Nina chose her past.
Because I really like you, a lot.
Or her future.
Um, oh, this is all a bit too much.
Can Jimmy and Zara save their marriage? I can forgive you.
But the question is, do you want me to? And brace yourselves.
- Uh, something's happened.
- What? For a heart wrenching bombshell.
