Why can't all our relationships just work at the same time?
I don't want to get married.
Just like that.
This? Us?
It feels more right than ever.
You're wearing an engagement ring.
Oh, am I?
How would you feel about a long-distance relationship?
I just want you to know how much you mean to me.
Both of you.
I'm just happy.
I cheated on Bec.
What?
If she finds out about this it will destroy her.
You have to live with it.
Where are you going? Kenya.
Yeah, but not for another couple of months.
I leave on Friday.
I'll call you when I land.
Don't.
You have no right to be in this house.
You said you were going to sort this out.
Who is Sam?
She's your daughter.
You're first.
Whack this in the ute before you take off.
I'm on it. Thanks, Matt.
Do you really want to miss out on seeing your little boy grew up?
Hey.
So happy to see you.
One sec.
Matt!
The world already feels a little less wonderful
without Matt's cheeky banter...
..and laid-back charm.
He was an all-round good bloke but to me,
Matt's greatest quality was his loyalty.
He was always looking out for his mates.
Bec has asked me to read Matt's favourite nursery rhyme.
Apparently, he prided himself on knowing the words
to all the extra verses.
So...
..Harry had to endure it often.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star
"How I wonder what you are
"Up above the world so high
"Like a diamond in the sky..."
"When the blazing sun has gone...
"When he nothing shines upon...
"Then you show your little light...
"Twinkle, twinkle, all the night..."
"In the dark blue sky you keep And often through my curtains peep
"For you never shut your eye Until the sun is in the sky..."
She's hardly cried since it happened.
She's always bottled things up.
Yeah, but today?
Hmm.
How are you supposed to act after watching your husband die?
She still hasn't spoken about how much she saw.
It certainly puts our problems into perspective.
Thank you.
Anything I can do?
All under control.
Give her time.
Mum, stay out of it.
I'm just saying, things will work out.
I've been thinking.
It might be better if I move out.
Give you all some space.
The sooner the better.
That didn't look good.
Dad is being so hard on Nan.
He's the one who got Sam's mum pregnant.
Yeah, but not telling him until now?
Like she had a million other options.
What do you think?
Not much.
Hey, we haven't had a proper chat since Matt...
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Be back in a sec.
I can't even imagine what this is like for you.
Matt did me a favour by giving me an apprenticeship.
And I repaid him by...
What?
I loaded those tanks.
Matt told me a thousand times, you're supposed to stand them up.
They're gorgeous.
From Tiffany.
Really?
Well, that's good of her.
Hello. Hi.
How are you?
That's the stupidest question right now.
Not at all. I'm OK.
Will you let us know if there's anything we can do to help?
You should be packing for your flight.
I'm not going to Kenya anymore.
What?
Oh, yes you are.
Flynn is still heading over for a couple of weeks.
I don't need to be there. You do.
It doesn't feel right.
The clinic, staying on to do your internship,
we know how much it means to you.
And how much it meant to Cat.
You have to follow this through. Please.
OK.
How's Patrick?
His blaming himself for what happened to Matt.
Let me.
Hey there.
I'm so sorry, Bec.
It was an accident.
WorkSafe said the tanks were defective and...
..even if Matt had loaded them himself,
it wouldn't have made a difference.
It should have been me who croaked it. Matt had you and Harrison.
Patrick...
I can't believe he's gone.
What are you doing here?
Can I talk to your dad? I've been trying to call.
Oh, that's right, he's your dad too now, yeah?
Obviously this isn't a good time. You're having a party.
A wake.
Sorry, I didn't know.
It doesn't matter what you know! You shouldn't be here at all.
Patrick. What?
Matt would not have wanted this today.
Do you know what he'd really want?
To still be alive.
I am so sorry.
I had no idea and here I am making everything worse.
You weren't to know.
I don't want you to feel that I'm pushing myself
on you or your family.
I don't.
How about I give you a ring when things have settled down?
I'd really like that.
Squeeze him any tighter
and his head will pop off.
Amazing how quickly things can change, isn't it?
Are you doing alright?
Me? Yeah, I'm fine.
You don't have to keep doing this.
After what you went through with Jackson, all of you...
Yeah, and that's over and we're all OK.
Bec is the person who needs our support now.
Really.
OK.
There you are.
I just needed a breather.
It doesn't seem real.
Hmm.
You know today is our first anniversary?
Crappiest irony ever.
Shit.
He made a present for her.
I don't know what, but he said he hid it somewhere in the bedroom.
Most emotional reading of a children's story
I've heard and a long time.
What was the previous titleholder?
When my mum read me 'Green Eggs and Ham'
I got upset that the black-hatted creature was such a killjoy.
I couldn't even finish it.
Spoiler alert.
He eats the eggs in the end.
I meant the reading.
I know.
You were obviously close.
Everyone keeps talking about him like he was a saint.
Ah.
The funeral bias.
Cone of Silence?
Of course.
Matt had been sleeping with someone else.
And Becca has no idea?
I wasn't just crying 'cause I missed him.
It's 'cause I felt like a fraud.
What's it got to do with you?
I'm the only one he told about the affair.
He put you in that position for some random?
Tiffany.
I should have just been honest with Bec from the start.
She was having a hard enough time with the...
..double dad thing and looking after a newborn.
Sounds like an excellent reason to stay quiet.
Really? Trust me.
You're a lawyer.
I'm a lawyer, I'm a lawyer.
Thanks.
Perfect.
Hey.
Doug.
Doug!
Wait.
You know that Flynn and I, we're just...
We're mates.
He was just...
