(gentle music) - [Meg] Previously on McLeod's Daughters.
- Who told you?
(Alex yelling) - Stop it, don't you dare.
Alex has just packed up his bags and he's left.
So my sons hate me and my family's fallen apart.
- Oh.
- I trusted you.
You can't just meddle with other people's lives.
You just don't belong here, Tess.
(Claire laughing) - It's really happening, isn't it?
- [Peter] Mm-hmm.
- Peter Johnson, he's married.
- Oh, you're joking.
- If you want me to tell her, I'm not gonna do it.
- Why, are you scared of losing your job?
- No, I'm scared about what it's gonna do to her.
- I know you'll do the right thing, Becky.
(insects chirping) - What he say, what he say?!
Come on, Mum, you can't keep us in suspense forever.
- All Peter said was, could I cook his favorite dinner, if it wasn't too much trouble?
- And?
- And, where do we keep the candles?
- And could the rest of us please go away?
- [Jodi] I knew it, he's gonna pop the question.
- This is amazing, what are we celebrating?
Hammering the first nail into the new stables?
- No, better than that.
- Hammering a lot of nails into the new stables?
- Still better.
You.
Us.
- He's gonna ask her to marry him, it's so romantic.
- We don't know that for sure.
- It's not her birthday, why else would he be going to so much trouble?
- Meg, did he look like a guy about to propose?
- Well how would I know what a guy about to propose looks like?
(soft music) - I wanted to give you this.
To show you how I feel.
- Peter, I don't know what to say.
Oh.
It's beautiful.
It's a ruby, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Well, I knew you liked red.
(soft music) - My dad gave me this.
- Oh, well then maybe I shouldn't- - No, no, no, I want you to.
This is even more special.
(soft music) - I'm gonna go see if they need any more butter for their bread.
- Jodi.
Cottage, now.
- Least I can see the ring tomorrow.
(soft music) - You know that I adore you, don't you?
- Oh, me too.
- And I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
- Me too.
- But first there's just a few things I have to sort out.
- What?
- Nothing, it's just stuff.
But I'm gonna have to go away for a couple days, just to do that.
And then I'll be back.
I promise.
- [Claire] For good?
- That's all I want, Claire.
More than anything.

You can cook a chock on your hat.
- [Harry] Yeah, I still want you to check that fence between us and Wilgoul.
- Well, you can do that with a computer.
- No no, no no, Nick rigged it so only he can use it.
Check the tanks and troughs while you're at it.
- Oh, would you like me to do an Indian rain dance for you while I'm at it?
- You look like you're starting a roadside store.
- It's for Jill Robinson, you know, she's been sick.
Couldn't the fences wait until it's cooler?
- I'm not going over there, cap in hand, asking the boys for my stock back.
- Even if it means they might come home?
- They'll get sick of slumming it sooner or later.
- Or I could apologize for you.
You see, you're very good at getting other people to say what you can't.
(soft music) - [Jodi] Can't see an engagement ring.
- She won't be wearing it if she's working.
- It probably didn't fit anyway.
- We still don't know if he popped the question.
- How long are you gonna be?
- I'm not sure, a couple of days.
Maybe more.
- Too long.
- Look, I'll be back soon.
I promise.
I'll call you.
- Mm.
(soft music) (engine starting) (soft music) (women shouting) - Did he propose?
- Stop, he didn't propose, all right?
- Why not?
- What was the special night all about?
- He gave me this.
- Ooh.
- Wow.
- [Claire] And he almost proposed, I think.
- How can he almost propose?
That's like being almost pregnant.
- Well, he said he wanted to come back because- - What?
- Yes?
- Because he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.
- [Jodi] Oh my god.
- Sounds like a proposal to me.
- [Jodi] And that means he's gone to get the ring.
- Don't walk me down the aisle before it's definite.
- It is by the sound of it.
- Anyway, I gotta check up on this order of paint.
If you wanna look over that, or anything else, I've left you a copy of the contract on the desk.
- Thanks.
- If I was getting engaged, I wouldn't be able to do a thing.
- So how's that different from you not being engaged?
- [Becky] Claire, has Peter just gone away on business?
- Yeah, he's just got some stuff to sort out, he said.
- So it might not just be business?
- Not you too, Beck.
No, I don't know if he's gone to get the ring.
So just drop it, okay?
- Hey, Craig.
- G'day, Becky.
Hot one, eh?
- Yeah.
You got anything for me?
- Now that would be a first.
- Yeah, it would.
Have you got anything for Peter?
- Why?
- I just wanted to make sure that his mail didn't get lost while he was away, that's all.
- He gets his mail from the post office anyway.
- Does he get much?
- Not really, just the usual stuff, from Roma.
- Roma who?
- No, Roma, Queensland, where he lives.
Horse magazines, that sort of thing.
- [Jodi] Hey, Craig.
- G'day, Jodi.
What you been up to?
- Oh you know, the usual, skiing, surfing.
I was wondering whether, well, I had a really good time the other night, and I was wondering whether you might wanna go out again?
- Yeah, sure.
- Great, okay, so movies, Wednesday?
- Oh no, Wednesday I can't make it, I got something on.
- Okay.
Saturday, then?
- Saturday would be great.
- Great.
(soft music) (phone line ringing) - [Operator] Call connect, what name, please?
- I was wanting to be connected to a P. Johnson in Roma, Queensland, please.
- [Operator] One moment.
I have two P. Johnsons in that area.
- Either of those a Peter?
- [Operator] I'm sorry, I only have an initial.
- The first one then, please.
- [Operator] Putting you through.
(phone line ringing) - [Paul] Paul Johnson here.
- Think I've got the wrong number.
(soft music) (phone line ringing) - [Operator] Call Connect, what name, please?
- I was wanting the number for a P. Johnson in Roma, Queensland.
There's actually two, and I want the second one.
- [Operator] Putting you through.
(phone line ringing) - [Woman On Phone] Hello?
- G'day, I was wondering if Peter Johnson was there.
He works with Australian Bloodlines?
- I'm sorry, he's away on business, but I expect him back tomorrow, can I take a message?
- Are you his wife?
- [Woman] Who's calling, please?
- It's fine, I'll call back another time.
- I've got a date, I've got a date, oh.
Beck, hey.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, fine, I was just making a phone call.
- Oh.
Well, I'm going to the movies with Craig on Saturday.
That's two dates in two weeks.
- Great.
Jodi?
If someone was cheating on you, would you wanna know?
- Why, who's being cheated on?
- No one, no one, doesn't matter.
(soft music) (vacuum running) - Oh.
Terry.
(soft music) (Claire chuckles) (door knocking) - [Claire] Just a minute!
- I read the contract.
And you look gorgeous.
You look absolutely beautiful.
- It was Mum's, and Grandma's.
- Promise me you won't wear jeans on the day.
- Looks like you're gonna be a bridesmaid.
Be funny having a man in the house again.
Of course, they drive you nuts.
Leaving things lying all over the place.
Wet towels on the floor, half-drunk cups of tea, socks under the bed.
- You really miss Terry, don't you?
- I have to do some more work on the cottage.
- Do you think that'll get him back?
- Oh, no, no, no.
Because Jodi and I'll be spending more time there, I guess.
We don't wanna get in Claire and Peter's way.
- I don't have a cottage.
Maybe I should build one.
I could live there by myself, and my nieces and nephews could come visit me.
I'd be mad old Auntie Tess, the nutty spinster with 60 cats and a stash of dry sherry.
- Hate cats.
- Meals on Wheels?
- Thanks, Mum.
- Missed you both.
- So we're gonna need another half a dozen trusses, okay?
- Look, Becky, if you're trying to tell me something, I just think you should come right out and say it, all right?
- What?
- Who is it, Michelle?
Allison?
Emma?
- What about them?
- Is that who Craig's cheating on me with?
That's what you were dropping hints about.
- Jodi, I wasn't talking about you and Craig.
- Look, you may as well tell me, okay, because I'm just gonna find out anyway.
- Jodi, it's not about you and Craig.
- All right, why would you even bring it up, then?
- Geez, Jodi.
- Look, Becky, you're my friend.
I really think you should do the right thing by me.
- You're right, I should.
- Well.
(birds chirping) - [Harry] How did Claire take the news, not well?
I'm afraid, if you're looking for a job, sorry.
- I wouldn't take it if it was the last job on Earth.
- Don't your respect Claire?
You want her to keep making a fool of herself?
- You found out about Peter, you tell her.
- No, I can't.
- Not my fault you're gutless.
- I guess you must be too, then.
Who else is gonna tell her?
Meg?
She's been like a mother to her for years.
It would end the relationship.
Jodi, she's not gonna believe.
Tess?
Tear them apart forever.
Don't want to do that to Claire, do you?
That's why it's gotta be you, Becky.
Because you don't matter.
(soft music) - [Alex] Mum, please, don't worry about that, okay?
- It's no trouble.
Your father would have come too, you know, but he's absolutely flat out.
- Yeah right.
- He misses you too.
He does.
You know how he is.
It was wrong not telling you that we knew about the rodeo.
He made it sound so right not to, and then, as the time went on, it just got harder and harder.
And then it all just became this awful mess.
- It's okay, Mum.
- No, it's not okay.
It's not, because you're living here, I want my family back.
Please.
Please come home.
Your father feels the same, he does.
- So why isn't he here telling us that?
- Well I'm trying to get him, but...
I don't know why I love him sometimes.
He's stubborn.
(soft music) This is a start, isn't it?
(soft music) Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- So I phoned Emma and tried to suss her out about Craig, but if it is her, it's not like she's gonna admit it.
- You sure he's two-timing you?
Maybe Becky really was talking about someone else.
- Oh, I'm sure.
She can't even look me in the eye.
I would ring Sasha, but I don't trust her either.
- Tess, phone.
It's that friend of yours from Melbourne, Simon.
- [Tess] Thanks, Meg.
- Men's socks, eh?
What are you doing, other people's washing now, Mum?
- No, they're mine.
I wear them in bed to keep my feet warm.
- In this heat?
- Everything okay?
Is it bad news?
- No, no.
It's great news.
The cafe's burning, they can't keep up with all the work.
That's why I said I'd come and help them.
- What?
- Yeah, they were practically begging me.
It's the same deal as last time, a proper partnership.
I get a share of the business and everything.
- And you said yes, just like that?
- Well, they need someone to help out straightaway.
And if Claire's gonna marry Peter, then what am I gonna do around here except get in their way?
(soft music) I'll come back for the wedding, though.
- Claire's gonna get a shock.
- Don't tell her yet, please.
Not until everything's finalized, and I wanna get something in writing first.
I know Claire, she'll only try and talk me out of it.
She'd say she wants me to stay, but we've both got what we've always wanted now, haven't we?
Claire can get on with all her horsey plans and her new life with Peter, and I can get on with mine at the cafe.
Couldn't have worked out more perfectly for both of us really, could it?
(soft music) - No wonder your milk's drying up.
You can tell I have to go, can't you?
I'm sorry, Madonna, but it's the way it's gotta be.
Bloody corporates won't accept cows.
Don't worry, I'll find someone to look after you.
- Oh, hey, Tess, I've decided what I'm gonna do about Craig.
I'm just gonna come right out and ask him if he's seeing someone else.
Unless you think that's a dumb idea.
- No, not if you wanna find out for sure.
- Exactly.
I mean, I'm not gonna end up like Mum and Terry, playing nose picks, where is that getting them?
I mean, what's the worst that could happen, right?
If he admits it, I deck him.
- Hey, Claire, wanna help me churn some butter?
It's probably the last batch we'll get from Madonna.
- [Claire] Getting her pregnant again, then?
- Yeah, so how about it?
I did much better when you helped me last time.
- Peter just rang, and he's not coming back so soon, so I've got horses to exercise and building work to supervise.
- [Tess] Anything I can do?
- [Claire] No, that's fine, I'll manage.
- Claire.
- Have you seen Vince or Tim?
Trying to get the railings finished today.
- Sorry.
- I better give them a ring, put a rocket up them.
Will you give them a hand again today?
- Yeah.
Look, I know that you're really busy at the moment, but there's something I have to talk to you about, and it can't wait.
- Becky, it's okay, I know.
- You do?
- Yeah, I shoulda done something about it ages ago.
But what with the building and everything, well.
Anyway, as of next week, you're getting a raise.
- What?
- You've been a bloody hard worker ever since you got here, and I've been paying you a pittance.
- But Claire- - It's not right.
- But Claire.
- [Claire] What's that?
- Termites.
I know they travel through soil.
(Claire sighs) - Great.
I'll have to check out the house.
- Appreciate your time, Mr. Ryan.
Can't do my job without local council support.
- No problem, that corner was always a blind spot.
I'll put it forward at the next meeting.
- Listen, mate, I paid all those fines.
I mean, what is it this time?
Driving a fence post without a license?
Failing to stop at a pass?
- Sergeant's here on a council matter, Terry.
- Guilty conscience, Dodge?
Mrs. Ryan.
- Sergeant, lovely day, isn't it?
It's warm, but it's lovely.
- You were gone early.
Visiting that sick neighbor again, were you?
What'd you say her name was?
- Jill Robinson.
- Doing her laundry too, huh?
- The boys need a hand.
You know, if you went around and said you were sorry, I think there's a real chance they might come home.
- What is this, Chinese water torture?
- Do it for me, Harry, if for no one else.
(cows mooing) - [Alex] Nick, I've seen her.
- There's two of them.
- Sounds like a calf.
- It has Killarny ear tags.
Must be one of Dad's.
- I thought I told you to fix the fences?
- Ha, ha, by myself?
Get away, it'd take years, more holes than fence.
- Well let's haul it out, eh?
- Why?
It's Dad's.
- No reason to let it die, Alex.
(soft music) (horse whinnying) - Hey Jodi, you gonna open the gate?
- Were you gonna tell me?
Or were you gonna just let me make a fool of myself?
- Huh?
- Walking to the movies on Saturday night with everyone laughing behind my back.
- What are we talking about?
- Busy on Wednesday nights, huh, who with?
Emma?
Michelle?
Allison?
All of them?
- What about them, that's not why I'm busy.
- You don't even have the guts to admit it, do you?
- Admit what?
- Stop playing dumb, Craig, I know.
And I don't go out with two-timers.
- Jodi!
Jodi!
(hammer thudding) - I reckon the rest of the house is fine.
There's no sign that they've headed out here.
- Yeah, I just wanna make sure, all right.
- We wouldn't want the house falling down on the wedding guests, would we?
- [Claire] Meg.
- [Meg] You'd have the wedding here, wouldn't you?
- I guess.
Unless Peter really wanted to get married in Queensland.
- Is that where his family are?
- Yeah, I think so.
He mentioned something about a brother, but he doesn't really talk about them much.
- I wonder why.
- Makes sense to have it here, because this house would be much bigger than his house.
- I suppose I might have to meet a whole lotta people.
He might have a big family.
- Claire- - Could you help Meg with all the rubbish, and I'll just keep checking upstairs?
- Okay.
(soft music) - Hey, Tess.
- Hey.
- What are you doing here?
Madonna go on walkabout, did she?
- Looking for a new home actually.
(cow mooing) Alex, what is a calf doing down there?
- [Alex] We're having a cup of tea, what do you reckon?
I'm getting stomped on.
- So hurry up and get the harness on.
- [Alex] You come down and have a go!
- Hey, why do I get the funny feeling this new home of hers is mine?
You sick of the milking?
- No, no, it's not that- - [Alex] Yow, how!
Pull the cable!
- I'm going back to the city, I got a job.
(soft music) - What?
- Yeah, in a cafe.
You remember those friends of mine you met once?
Well, I can't stick around here if Claire's gonna marry Peter, can I?
- Who says that's gonna happen?
- [Alex] Okay, when you're ready.
- Doesn't mean you have to go all the way to the city, does it?
- Where else can I go around here?
- [Alex] Nick, ready!
- Are you going now?
- No, tomorrow.
- Ready!
- All right!
Can you just shut that off when I give you the signal?
- Sure.
(soft music) - Keep coming.
- Bit more, bit more.
- Yeah.
- What's going on up here?
The bloody thing was kicking the hell outta me.
Geez.
(soft music) We don't know what to do with Dad's cattle.
Actually, Tess, it's good you dropped by.
- What?
- Well Killarny's not that far if you take the Top Track.
- Sure.
I owe you one for Madonna, right?
- Yeah, right?
- There you go.
I arrive with one cow, I leave with two.
Thanks, Tess, see you later, mate.
- Bye, Alex.
(soft music) So.
Nick.
(soft music) I don't know.
Goodbye.
- Bye.
- Madonna.
(soft music) - I don't know where you got the idea I'm two-timing you, but you're wrong.
- Becky told me, okay?
- Well she's the expert then, isn't she?
She's also pretty good at giving people the totally wrong idea.
- Why would she do that, she's my friend.
- And I thought I was more than that.
So how about you stop listening to her and you start listening to me?
I went out on one date with Emma last year.
It was hopeless.
She was going after my brother.
And Michelle, she's dating someone at the bank.
And Allison, she ain't my type.
Is there anyone else I'm meant to be on with?
- No.
- Anyway, what about you and Jason Haggerty and Damian Murray?
- What are you talking about, don't be ridiculous.
- Exactly.
So are we going to the movies on Saturday or not?
- Why can't you go on Wednesday?
- Because I'm spending the night with Kim Doyle.
What do you think?
I go to tech at Fisher.
- Really?
That's great, what are you studying?
- I'm doing a certificate in caravan park operations.
- Right.
Wow.
Cool.
- So movies, Saturday, right?
- Right.
(soft music) - I have to go over to Killarny for a little while, can you manage without me?
- Yeah, sure.
House is in the clear.
All we gotta do is kill the nest.
- [Meg] Okay.
- Ah.
Lucky about the house.
Don't know where I woulda had the party otherwise.
- [Becky] What party?
- The one for Peter.
If I'm gonna meet all his family, you know, he's gotta meet everyone around here.
Don't want him feeling like he's got a bunch of strangers coming to his own wedding.
I have to dance in front of anyone.
- What?
- Yeah, the Bridal Waltz, I got two left feet.
Do you have to have a Bridal Waltz?
- How should I know, look, I've gotta go.
- Hey, can you get the arsenic powder?
I gotta make a call.
(soft music) (cow mooing) - Appreciate it, Tess.
Where'd you find him?
- Calf had fallen down a mineshaft.
- The only shafts around here on Wilgoul.
Thanks, Tess.
- More Meals on Wheels.
- Yeah, she's missing us already.
(dramatic music) - I've got the cow and the calf.
Told Terry to fix those fences, ended up doing it myself.
Patched a couple of holes.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, well, thank you.
Place still needs a bit of work.
- We're getting there.
- You heard from Claire?
- Why?
- Thought maybe she'd drop in.
She might need someone to talk to.
- What for?
- You know that Johnson bloke?
He's married.
- You're joking, right?
- No, wish I was.
- Well does Claire know?
- She will, I got someone working on it.
- You can't help being a bastard, can you, Dad?
- You're right, Alex, should've eaten that calf.
(dramatic music) - I was thinking the 14th or the 15th, if you're back by then.
And you can meet everyone in the district.
Well, call me, when you get this message and let me know what you think.
I love you so much.
Bye.
(knocking on window) Yeah.
- Hi, Claire, can I come in?
- [Claire] Sure, what's up?
- I need to talk to you.
- If this is about your raise, Becky, I don't want- - It's not.
It's about Peter, he's married.
I'm sorry, Claire, I didn't wanna be the one.
I'm so sorry.
- You're lying.
- This is his number in Queensland, his wife answered.
(soft dramatic music) I'm sorry.
- Get out!
(dramatic music) - Well?
- Told you it was a stupid idea.
I should never have gone over there.
- Terry.
- G'day, Meg.
- Good to see you.
- Can I help you with something?
- Yeah, I was cleaning up under my bed, and I found these.
And I thought you might want them back.
I washed and darned them, see the little hole?
- Shouldn't have bothered.
- Oh, it's no bother.
What?
- Not mine.
- Kevin!
- So...
I just want to say bye, Dad.
And...
Thanks for letting me fall in love with the place.
And...
Thanks for Oscar and Madonna.
And most of all for giving me my sister back.
(soft music) But did you have to find her a husband quite so soon?
Coulda found me one too, while you were at it.
Bye, Dad.
(soft music) - [Nick] We can't tell her, Alex.
- What are you talking about, Nick, she's gotta know, mate.
- What do we know?
Only what Dad's told us, doesn't mean it's true.
- Okay, then why would he make it up, right?
- If Claire marries someone else, Dad doesn't get Drover's Run, right?
And if it's a lie and we don't tell her, she'd never forgive us for it.
- And if it's true and we don't tell her?
- She'll still never forgive us.
- Bastard.
- Who, Dad?
- No, Peter.
She loves him.
I could kill him.
- Get in line.
(dramatic music) - Someone's told her.
Claire, how you going?
- Okay, I guess.
- Wanna beer?
- Bit early, isn't it?
Love one.
Some bastard's been spreading the rumor that Peter's married.
So it's true, then?
(soft dramatic music) You knew, both of you knew, and you didn't have the guts to tell me!
(horse whinnying) (phone dialing) (phone line ringing) - [Woman On Phone] Hello?
- Is that Mrs. Johnson?
- [Woman On Phone] Yes, who's calling?
- Is Peter Johnson there, please?
- [Woman On Phone] Just a moment.
Darling, it's someone for you.
(soft dramatic music) - [Peter] Hello, Peter Johnson.
(soft dramatic music) hello?
- Thought you'd have a beer, I'm all out.
- Help yourself.
- [Jodi] You were wrong, Beck.
- I was?
- Yep.
Craig's not seeing anyone else.
Back on again.
(insects chirping) - There you are.
Saw Eagle was back, but I couldn't find you.
Heard about the white ants, how come you didn't tell me?
- Had no idea.
- Lucky the house is okay.
I always thought it was solid as a rock.
- So did I.
- You know, you and Peter's great-great-grandkids will be in it one day.
(soft music) - Tess, there's something I have to tell you.
- Me first, I've been trying all day.
- Is this about Peter?
- Yep, sort of, it's because of him and you.
Remember Simon and Briny?
- Yeah, your friends with the cafe.
- Yeah, well, it's burning, and they've asked me to come in with them again.
Share of the business and everything.
- Just like you've always wanted.
- Yep.
And now you and Peter are getting married and doing your own thing, and it's time I did mine.
I don't wanna cramp your style.
- You wouldn't.
- Married couples don't want little sisters hanging around, trust me.
Besides, I've turned them down twice already.
I don't wanna do it again.
- So you've said yes.
- Isn't it great?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's great, it's great.
- So what did you wanna tell me?
- Oh, nothing.
Nothing, I'm really happy for you, Tess.
- I'm happy for both of us.
Everything's turned out just perfectly, hasn't it?
(soft dramatic music) (birds chirping) - Didn't realize you'd be going so soon.
- The cafe's so busy they're afraid of losing business.
If you can't keep up good service, you're history.
It's either me, or find someone else.
Don't know how I got all this stuff in here.
It's not as if I bought anything.
- You won't be needing these for a start.
- No, you gave them to me.
I haven't given you anything.
- You don't have to.
- I know the exact thing.
(soft music) This... Will protect you.
- You'll need those in the city.
- [Tess] Claire, shut up, just take it.
(soft music) - Give us a ring when you get there, eh?
- Yeah, I will.
Well.
(soft music) Don't say goodbye, because it's not, okay?
I'll be back for the engagement party... And the wedding and all the christenings.
(soft music) Bye, Claire.
- You better go, eh?
(soft music) (birds chirping) - Bye, Beck, see you.
Bye, Jodi.
- Have fun.
- [Tess] Yeah, you be good.
(soft music) - Drive carefully.
- Mm-hmm.
