[Angie] Jenny, you're back.

So, who missed me the most?

- Scotty boy.
- Scott, definitely.

So, hey, when did you get back?

This morning.

And the doctors are okay
with you coming home so soon?

Reckon they would be...
if they knew I was gone.

Guys, I got discharged,
and it's not too soon.

They couldn't wait to get rid of me

after you almost ran over
that nurse with a wheelchair.

Hey, a race is a race.

I hear that.
So, who's ready to be crushed?

Well, I guess we could do a few laps,
you know, before brekkie.

If you're up to it.

Okay, you know what?
Team meeting. Right now.

- [dirt bike revs]
- [country music]

I know I freaked you guys out,
but it's type one diabetes. And I'm on it.

- Really?
- [Jenny] Yeah.

I've got a glucose monitor

and as long as I have this disc on my arm,

I can check my levels whenever I need to.

And I have my hypo kit and insulin
with me wherever I go.

You know how to handle
all that stuff already?

She's probably been teaching the doctors.

[chuckles] She's like
the biggest nerd here.

And I've got a full nutrition plan.

She'll be eating better
than the lot of you.

Jenny's parents left Alice last night
and they're okay with her staying,

as long as she follows through
with her treatment plan.

You can roast me if I don't.

If you don't, you'll be going home.

I've got this, I swear.

And you guys have been amazing,
coming out every day.

I just wanna get back out there and race.

So, who's with me?

[lively music]

She has to upgrade all of the bikes today?

Well, Barb's really excited
about the team.

We want to encourage that.

Yeah, and it's Saturday.
Take the day off. Have some fun.

I'm up for it if you guys are.

Count me out. Mum and dad
want me home for lunch.

[Angie] Yeah, me too.

I've got... a lunch as well.

Sounds cool. Just gotta pick up
a package my parents sent me.

Won't be long.

Righto. We can drop you lot.

Food in the fridge.

Whoa, where are you guys going?

I don't know,
listen to some music or something.

- Watch a movie.
- I've been stuck inside for ages.

- Let's do something.
- Like what?

I don't know! Hang out, have fun.
We'll figure it out on the way.

What are you talking about?
On the way to what?

I don't know. Come on.

[intriguing music]

[Bear] Hey, hang on.

[Bear] Jenny!

[Bear] Man, what is the rush?

[phone chimes]

[Kaden] Hello?

Hello?

- [boy 1] Whoo!
- [boy 2] Surprise!

[Kaden] Oh, no way!

- What are you guys doing here?
- We're the package!

Yeah, flew in especially
just for you. Come on.

And that's not it. Look at that!

[both] Happy birthday!

- Are mum and dad here?
- Ah...

Well, we worked this out with them,
but they couldn't make it, you know?

But look, they've put on all this stuff.

[boy 1] Look at that, man!

The MaveriX guys are gonna love this.

Hey, whoa, dude.

MaveriX? We came here
to hang out with you.

You know, just like old times.

Oh, just thought
you wanted someone to smash...

'Cause it's not gonna be me!

[boy 1] Whoo!

[boy 2] Whoo-hoo, let's do this!

[boy 1] Kaden, come on, man!

[Bear] My legs are k*lling me.

[Scott] Jenny, slow down.

- [Bear] Are we there yet?
- Where?

Wherever we're going.

[Scott] Come on, Jen. Seriously.

[boys pant]

[Bear] Do you need some help with that?

With all the injuries I've had,
I'm basically a doctor.

Uh, thanks, but I'll pass.

You an undercover doctor too?

No.

Does that thing measure mad skills?

No, but it does measure freak factor.

[Jenny] Levels are good.

Lower body's done.

Lower body? Oh, so this is a workout.

I thought we were supposed
to be having fun.

Yeah, totally.
And I know where we can go next.

So follow me.

Hey, we could just stay here.

[Bear] Still feels like lower body.

[Richie] Ange!

Hey, didn't you hear me?

- Look, I can't talk right now, okay?
- Why not?

Are you in trouble?

Yeah, 'cause I'm totally dodgy.

I didn't say that.

My brother's been busted
and they want 500 bucks bail.

What about your other brother?

Or your parents? Can't they come down?

I tried them,
but I don't know where they are.

Come to my house, have lunch.
I'll get you what you need.

No, I'll handle it.

I've got Christmas money I've been saving.

- You can have it.
- I'm not taking your money.

It's a loan.

Get it back when you can.

[pop music on loudspeaker]

- [Bear groans]
- [Jenny laughs]

You feeling it in your upper body yet?

I can't feel my body at all anymore.

[Jenny] Come down, then.
Let me have another go.

You just gotta focus
on your center of gravity, that's all.

It changes every time I move.

Yeah, that's what makes it so fun.

[Jenny] Watch and learn, boys.
Watch and learn.

[Jenny] Whoo-hoo!

Ready to go again? Best time wins.

Don't you wanna rest for a bit
or something?

You don't rest in the middle of training.

- So we are training?
- Jenny, can we just...

Hey, you wanna slack off, that's on you.

But I'm good to go.

Make it stop.

[Trish] Lovely to have
a fresh face at the table.

You told your family
you were coming over, right?

Yeah, they said to say thanks.

[Murray] Your family must be really proud
you're on the team.

Uh... Yeah.

Hey, NT Championships
are coming up next week.

[Trish] Don't worry,
I've marked it on the calendar,

right next to your scholarship exams.

Please tell me he's been studying.

Heaps. I've been quizzing him
and everything.

Oh, great. Well, let's see
how you go over lunch, then, eh?

[quirky music]

[Murray] Kidding!

[chuckles]

Don't worry about him.

[boy 1] Whoo!

So I smash you on bikes and go-karts now?

- It's your birthday, bro.
- Yeah, we let you win.

Must have had a lot of birthdays
back at home, then.

[boy 1] Ah, hey.

We've been training heaps
since you've left.

Yeah, for real.

[boy 2] Dane's dad hooked us up
with our own track.

Fully upgraded our bikes too.

Yeah, our bikes
are being upgraded right now too.

You should come out to MaveriX after.

Oh, come on.

They're cool.
And you can see what they can do.

We saw the Race Day video.

What about it?

Just feels like you could've
done better on... another team.

Yeah, but...

We had stuff going on,
but it's all good now.

Anyways,

we should stay here,
smash out a few more laps.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

[pensive music]

[engine starts]

Your sisters are excited
about the Championships.

They've got your cousins
coming around to make up some signs.

And Aunty Marg is gonna bake
some bickies for the team too.

They don't have to do that.

Yeah, look...

reckon I could have my Christmas money?

What for?

- I wanna buy a console.
- [Trish] Since when?

The last one you got
has barely come out the box.

I thought you were saving
for a new exhaust.

- Nah, I don't need it anymore.
- Yeah, you do.

[Angie] You should save your money.

[Angie] You need all the power
you can get.

We'll talk about it later, eh?

Thing is there's a special
and I don't really want to miss out.

Leave it with us.

It is my money.

There'll be other specials.

Can we have a word?

[soft music]

[Trish] Richie, what are you doing?

[Murray] Yeah, what's going on here?

We know the money's not
for the console, Richie.

Why are you lying to us?

This is not what our family does.

- Did she put you up to this?
- What? No!

No, I didn't!

I told you I would handle this.

I don't want anything from you.

- [Murray] Richie...
- Her brother's in trouble.

[door opens and closes]

It's not for us to get involved in.

[Richie] You tell me family's everything.

Well, she's got a family too

and they may be messed up,
but they need help.

We can help them.

[pop music on loudspeaker]

[Bear] Yo, you've gotta
say something to her.

[Scott] Why me?

Look, I think she might be
trying to k*ll us.

[Bear] And you're the captain,
so you can go first.

I was thinking we could hit the pool next.

Or maybe we could just chill out.

You know, it's not supposed
to be a training day.

Feels a lot like one.

[Jenny] Well, I'm behind in my training

and I wanna be ready
for the NT Championships.

[Scott] Doesn't mean you should be
pushing yourself so hard,

especially since you're...

What? Sick?

- Well, no, hang on...
- [Jenny] I don't need to chill.

I need to keep my edge.

Nothing has changed.

[phone chimes]

[Bear] No way.

Kaden's at the go-kart tracks
with some dudes.

There's a go-kart track?

[Dane] Happy birthday, dude!

Check it out. Our initials. Our own team!

We're gonna be awesome!
We'd get sponsored for sure.

You want to form a team?

- Yeah.
- Yeah!

Come on, we'll crush it! Go on, put it on.

[boy] Yeah, put it on.

[Bear] Yo!

What up, K-man?

Oh... What are you guys doing here?

What are we doing here?
What are you doing here?

Who are these guys?

[Kaden] Uh, they're my mates from home,
Dane and Chase.

So, what, you're having a party?

Wait, is it your birthday today?

Uh... Sort of.

- Didn't want us to come, eh?
- [Kaden] My parents organized it.

I didn't know it was happening
till I got here.

We're here now. Might as well eat.

[Jenny] And race.

We should race.

[soft music]

Angie, I'm sorry.

They shouldn't have said that.

They can be full-on, I know.

At least they care.

At least they show up.

Most of the time, it's just me.

Not anymore.

They said yes.

- I can't take your money.
- [Richie] Yes.

You can.

[Kaden] You want what?

[Bear] Party pies. I love party...

Come on, guys. Let's do this.

- I'm ready to go.
- In a sec.

- It's so good, though.
- That's your second lunch!

You wanna race? I'll race you.

Yeah?

- Alright.
- Think you can finish this time?

- What are you...
- [Jenny] What did you just say?

You crashed and burned at the Race Day.

Fine. Let's take it onto the track, then.

[suspenseful music]

[Jenny] He is dead!

Go-karts are a little different to dirt...

Why don't you just say it?
You don't think I can beat him.

You've been telling me all day to give up.

No, I haven't. What are you talking about?

I told you. Nothing has changed, right?

No, you can't do that.

- You said you had to keep this...
- Well, I just did, okay?

Jen, you can't muck around
with this stuff, you know that.

[Scott] You have to check your levels.
We've gotta go now.

You wanna bail? No problem.

[Scott] You know what dad said.
He will send you home.

[starts engine]

[Chase] Whoo! Yes! You blew her away, man!

I've gotta get back to MaveriX.

[Chase] See, man?

You're totally wasted on that team.

Yeah. You get that, right?

You're better than them.
We're better than them.

Exactly.

We are gonna k*ll it.

[intriguing music]

Alright, let's go grab my stuff.

[both chuckle]

[Scott] You okay?

I'm fine. You're the one
who's freaked out.

- What are you talking about?
- [Jenny] It's true.

You keep telling me
to take a break, chill.

Almost passed out when I gave myself
a shot at rock climbing.

- I'm not freaked out...
- [Jenny] Just admit it!

We've just...
We've gotta look out for each other.

I'm not good with needles.

So... this isn't about...

You don't think I'll drag you guys down?

You're kidding?

Are you kidding? Never.

And no-one else thinks that either, okay?

You're the best all-round talent
on the team.

I mean, you know, except for me.

So, you're just soft, then?

[both chuckle]

Hey, look...

Some things have changed...

but, you know, that doesn't mean
you can't be the champion you wanna be.

[phone chimes]

It's Kaden.

Man, this place is a dump.

[Chase] Yeah.

- Come on, let's get it over with.
- [Kaden] Sure.

But first you have to get past her.

Wait, what's going on?

[Kaden] You seriously want us
to be a team?

Prove that you're better
than the team I'm already on.

Beat her now and I'm in.

You want us to destroy her?

That's on you, man.

Hey, don't make them cry too hard, okay?

[tense music]

[all start engines]

She's gonna win, right?

Go, Jenny!

[engines rev]

[gritty rock music]

Whoa!

She is back!

[Kaden] I knew she would be.

She never left, mate.

- Go, Jenny!
- Come on, Jenny!

[Angie] Whoo!

Yeah, go!

See, diabetes is, like,
the perfect disease for you.

[Bear] I knew you'd nail it.

No, I mean, like, you know,
the whole science thing.

[Bear] You know, measurements.
It's perfect for a nerd like you.

Except don't ever ask me
to go rock climbing again.

So you're seriously gonna
stay here with them?

Yeah, she totally had
home-ground advantage, man.

This is my home ground now,
at least till I finish this.

Keep it, bro.

Yeah. Just don't mess it up out here.

Last thing we need is
you giving us a bad name.

[car starts and drives off]

[soft rock music]

Hey, no fair, okay?

My arms are k*lling me.

Um, you barely made it
halfway up the wall.

I still can't believe
you didn't invite us to your party.

Oh, I wanted to, I just...

I wasn't sure you'd come.

Oh, mate, of course
we would have, alright?

You're one of us now.

Yeah, and 'cause it's your birthday,
you can even have first shower.
