01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

KATE: Previously on My Mum, Your Dad.

Lets go.
A bunch of single parents

were taken to a retreat

by their kids to find love.

They've been watching

their every move.
[LAUGHTER]

WOMAN: I can't believe
I'm spying on Dad.

MAN: Unreal.

And pulling the strings.

MAN 2: And they have
to give each other a peck.

And in the end,

it's the ones who love the most

who have the ultimate power.

If your parents make
a special connection,

you decide if this can

or can't work in the real world.

What if I say yes
and then it doesn't work out?

What if I say no
and it was meant to be?

Now the update.

Hello!

When cyclone Carol whirled in,

smooth talker Roe,
Woo.

was lost for words.

You don't know what
you're getting yourself into.

The stars were aligning for Darren

and psychic medium Petula.

He was interested in my world.

And while Mel, Marette and Heath

weren't making any headway...

I would like
to get to know you better.

But it's like it's not there for me.

Kristy and Shane...

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Were more than making up for it.

I'm assuming that was your lips.

But after a surprise meet up
with his daughter...

Hi Dad!
..it all went south.

Kyla came, saw you didn't
say a word about me.

I don't like that.
That's not true. [GASPS].

Shane's not telling
his daughter about me.

It's like he doesn't see a future.

With Kristy in self-destructive mode.

WOMAN: She always does this.

Fireman Heath was forced
to break the emergency glass.

If you don't knock it back
a few notches,

you might lose him.

♪ Throw me a lifeline. ♪

[CALM MUSIC]

KRISTY:
I woke up and then I was real sad.

KATE: It's the crack of dawn
at the retreat

and Kristy is up nursing a nasty,
emotional hangover.

They're all up now.

Sleep alright?
No.

Can you get in there Tess?

Yeah. I'll give it a go.

At the bunker,

the kids are ready
to watch in secret.

How are you and Shane?

Well, last night
how did you finish it up?

I don't know.

Last night, you know,
was emotional roller coaster,

very out of character for me

and I felt really terrible.

In my head I'm like,
"Oh, no, what have I done?"

Words were coming out of my mouth.

I was spewing things
that I was just thinking,

"What the hell
are you saying Kristy?"

Shut up.

Listen to what I said last night.

No, I will.
I'm not going to carry on anymore.

When I was sort of spiralling out,
worried about everything,

Heath grabbed me
and he was like, look,

you've really got to
pull your sh*t together.

Don't let your mind
destroy something good.

I just think I'd be
absolutely even more crazy

if Heath wasn't in the house.

She got these little devils
on her shoulders.

Not an angel,
but two devils and [BLEEP]

bashing her head in like this.

Yeah. I'm worried that Shane
may not forgive me

and think I'm a crazy person.

DARREN: I'd probably just sort of
maybe apologize.

MILLI: I don't quite know
what's going through Mum's head.

She's obviously upset
and I just wish

I knew what she was thinking.

So I really do not want to
see her get hurt in here.

SHANE: Not 100% sure why Kristy's
behaving this way

but I do tend to pull back

when that kind of stuff goes on.

It is a bit of a red flag for me.

Oh no. My heart.

I am really worried

because Kristy did come across
batshit crazy last night.

[EXHALES]

So I'm thinking I do have to give
my blessing at the ceremony

and I'm not really sure
at this point.

♪ It's a good day ♪

♪ Whoa ♪

♪ It's a good morning. ♪

KATE: As the rest of the house
wakes up.

Wow...

What's in store for today?

And looks forward to another day
in our cozy little love nest.

We've got five women now
using the same shower.

Y'all in the shower together?

You'd like a mental picture
of that, wouldn't you?

[LAUGHTER]

I love it.

Our newest single Carol has
just one thing on her mind.

What a set of buns on that man.

All I want is just a little bit
of time with Roe.

[LAUGHS]

Buns.

I mean, you know who doesn't like
a nice, dark, handsome man?

Let me tell you,
she'd have your dad in line.

Yeah, he needs that.

I want Mum to find love
and to be happy.

I feel like Roe
is definitely her type.

I love that he's worldly
sort of a person.

Very smooth too.
Yes smooth.

That's it. Smooth.
But I haven't got to know him yet.

I've been looking for love
for 21 years.

It's been very very hard for me.

I've got a lot of
commitments in life.

And it's time for me.

It's time for me to look for love.

It's time to get down and boogie.

[LAUGHS]

She looks so giddy.

Feel that tingle in your tummy.

Yeah, that, yeah.

You get a tingle
in your 'giny when you...

Yeah. OK.

Oh my god. I don't...

Mine's concreted shut mate.

I'm doing, you know what?

You need a bulldozer or dynamite
to get in there.

[LAUGHS]

After the retreat.

I'll just own my own
concreting company, you know?

Six year guarantee.
Yeah.

Oh my god.

I would love for you just
to have a kiss.

WOMAN: I know. So would I.

It doesn't matter.

I'm not saying to you
go all the way.

One day.
[LAUGHS]

What about you?

You haven't dated for a while?

No.

I went on one date last year
and one date this year.

And... no good?

Uh uh.

So this is where I sort of,
I sort of settle for the toys.

[PLAYFUL MUSIC]

Oh, look, I'm literally supporting
every lithium factory

in Australia right now
or the world maybe even.

I need shares in Duracell.

[LAUGHS]
Oh, they're telling all now.

MAN: No way.

Oh, look, I've made a mistake

with getting
my first electrical one.

It's electric, not the battery,
because that way, it doesn't stop.

I used to always run out.

It was just in,
it goes [MAKES BUZZING SOUND]

and it's like not [BLEEP] now.

I got to change the battery!

My god!

[MAKING VIBRATING SOUNDS]

I can't believe
she's talking about vibrators.

I don't want to know.

And my mum living with me
and if she found out,

she'd lose it.

I'd be the biggest h* there is.

Really?

Being Lebanese, they don't,
you do not do that.

So, you know, I came home one night

like, great, you know?

Get all sexied up.

I don't wanna know.

Then all I remember is my mother.

"Carol, can you hear
[MAKES BUZZING SOUND]?"

It's the frogs.

My god!

So I'm going mum, she goes Carol,

there's frogs, I can't sleep.

You must shut the window.

I said, "Ma, I'm coming.
Just one second Ma."

I'm coming.

"Just one second Ma, I'm coming"

She's gone, "Carol, I say now."

I can't stand up.
Just give me a minute.

I said I'm coming. Just wait.

So anyway, I got up and closed
all the windows and she goes,

"They're very bad.
I can't sleep.

I have to go home."

The frogs are going bad Carol.

[LAUGHTER]

Have you heard this?
No!

Oh, my gosh.

Thanks for embarrassing me.

That's all I have to say.

Definitely the stuff I can't unsee
and I think I've got PTSD.

Ahh...
[LAUGHTER]

KATE: While the girls were vibing it,

Shane's feeling zapped after
the drama of last night.

Tell me, where are you at?

I feel embarrassed.

I just feel like I haven't had
any alone time with Shane.

I'm slowly getting through
dealing with everything

that's going on in my head.

I've been overthinking
lots of things.

I really need to say that I'm sorry.

You and I have a little talk.

What's Kristy whispering?

What is happening?

KRISTY:
Let's take a seat on these chairs.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I don't know.

Coming up...

Oh my god.

The biggest influence of all...

Win today's challenge

and you will receive two votes.

..Sends chills down the kids' spines.

You got this Haydn.

Dad's still yet
to make a connection.

I'll do anything to help Dad
find love.

Those two extra points,
that is huge.

I'm shaking.

And later...

..a smoking hot single mum arrives.

Wow.

This just got spiced.

Igniting the flames of passion
in fireman Heath.

You haven't been on a date yet.

No.
How come?

I've may have been
waiting for somebody.

[AIRY MUSIC]

You and I have a little talk.

Think I'm worried about mum
and Shane's relationship

because I can see how much
she really likes him.

She's just really bad at
putting it into words.

Yeah, so sorry again
about last night.

I don't know
what's going on with me here.

It's just I'm good good good
and then, I don't know.

I just seem to lose it.

I think I'm not sure.

All the pressures and...

It's all the pressures I'm feeling.

I think I feel like

with everyone just around

all the time just makes me
feel really, I don't know.

Just don't overthink it.

I know it's easy to say but...
Yeah.

Kristy has a few layers
that she may need

to to shrug off
but she'll be fantastic

and herself all the way.

And then there's something
that's out of the comfort zone

for her and she chucks
a bit of a tanty.

I don't think we've
really had any alone time

since like our chat
yesterday morning

so I've organised something
for us today if you're willing.

Only if you're willing.
Yeah, of course.

You are?
Yeah.

I think we need to break the ice

and spend some
quality time together.

If we wait forever for
the dating experts

to give us a date,

it's just, I don't think
it's ever going to happen.

Yeah.

[BRIGHT MUSIC]

With the relationship in crisis,
Kristy's decided to bypass

the dating consultants
also known as the kids.

Hello. Is that for me? No.
MEL: Oh my god.

KATE: And take matters
into her own hands

along with a picnic basket.

MEL: Come on Shane. Hurry up.

PRICILLA: Awwww. How cute.

Yeah. Let me carry it.
Thank you.

It's heavy.

She won't let go
of that bottle though.

[LAUGHS]

I feel like Kristy is trying
really hard to make it work.

I'm so happy for you.

I'm so excited for you. Have fun.

It's good. I love it.

KATE: I know what you're thinking.

Aren't the dating consultants
meant to be pulling the strings

with their parent's love life?

Well, Kristy's got them on
a technicality here

by arranging a date
on the retreat grounds.

I'll go first.
You go first.

[SQUEALS] Yaay.

This is what we want to see.

MAN: I this is at
the back of the retreat.

Oh. Yeah. Could be. Yeah.

SHANE: She set up the date.

She's organized a boat,

she's organized a picnic and,
yeah, it was pretty cool.

Imagine if they fall in.

Oh my god.

Don't get the shakes.
Alright.

Nah, we're good.

♪ I've been feeling lonely
but I know the old me gotta go ♪

It's the notebook 2.0.

If they pash,
I can't watch though.

That was a little bit.
I was too excited.

It's just so tranquil
and beautiful down there.

It was really perfect.

Oops.

Oh, I just lost it.

You did.
I lost the little thing.

[LAUGHTER]
MAN: That's so good.

[LAUGHS]

We need the oar thing.

Yeah.

You're just such a natural
on this nature stuff.

[LAUGHS]

Love a bit of nature.

There we go.

She's showing the initiative
to do something romantic

but we need to have
a genuine conversation

away from everyone else.

To be honest with you, I was like,

last night was a bit hard for me.

I went crazy at you.

Even though I wasn't blaming you

I was just like I'm just
overthinking everything.

Yeah. Where's that coming from?

That must be coming from
somewhere because...

I don't know.

I've never seen this
sort of crazy come out.

Honestly, it's so unusual
because I'm usually like,

you know, very level-headed.

I want my mum to explain
to Shane how exactly she's feeling

because if Mum
doesn't speak up soon,

it could ruin the relationship
they could have.

My kids are really protective of me.

I have been with someone
where my kids haven't liked them.

And it's, it is a deal breaker.

Like it's a deal breaker.

So obviously that's pretty
much what caused, you know,

me and my son's dad to
separate was just how much

my girls just
didn't get along with him.

And so I guess that's
really where it comes from.

I agree.
No, I'm very family orientated.

If we can't all hang out
and get on...

There's no, so that's why it
is just so important to me.

Yeah.

One of the only problems
Mum has in a relationship

is being open and vulnerable.

So I'm like really really happy
that she's like

explaining how she feels
with everything.

It's just beautiful to watch.

SHANE: I reckon we just see
how things,

live in the moment.

Yeah, that's right. I know.
Not stressed about everything else.

No.
And see where it takes us

because it's obvious
we have a connection.

This is the wholesome content
we like to see.

Alright?
Done.

Too easy.

Awwww.

Oh wow, look what you've done.

Really,
whipped up something special.

You've done this before.
I have.

♪ I'm all in, all in.

There you go.
Thank you very much.

Oh well, cheers.
Cheers.

I finally got to go out on a boat.

You did. And a date.
And a date.

For me, it's like I am
attracted to you

and I think that's clear.

Awwww.

I am a very slow burner
because I think that it's such a,

it's make or break your life
when you have a partner.

Yeah. Oh, absolutely.

I'm very very cautious, but yeah,
I do feel attracted to you.

I have an attraction,

and I'm looking forward
to see that if that grows.

WOMAN: I just want them to make out.

Oh, my heart.

It's been really nice
just to get some alone time.

It definitely feels
a lot more comfortable.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[SOFT MUSIC]

♪ You gave me that sweet,

[ALL SQUEAL]
sweet, sweet, sweet something ♪

KATE: Romance is in the air,
with all eyes in the bunker

glued to the screens
as they lean into love.

KAYLA: Dad and Kristy
go on their first date,

and I think we are going to be
watching their first smooch.

Eww.

[SOOTHING MUSIC]

♪ You give me that sweet,
sweet something ♪

♪ You give me that sweet,

sweet something ♪
MAN: Bit of tongue, bit of tongue.

[CHEERING]

First kiss done easy.

♪ And drifting memories ♪

Shane is a good kisser.

I definitely wanted to keep
kissing him more and more and more.

I'd be excited too if I kissed me.
Yeah.

[SINGS]

Oh, we've got our first hook-up.

Yes!

I'm so happy.

I think this means that Dad's

still in the running
to win Kristy's heart.

A couple of champagnes
and a few nibbles,

it just felt like the right time.

It was good. It was nice.

It felt pretty natural.

Do you reckon we should go back
to the Looney Tunes?

Yeah, let's do it.

Going from here now that we've
got the first kiss out the way,

I'm hoping that it'll be
a lot more natural

going forth because
I really like Shane.

♪ I could only heal
with someone like you ♪

♪ I could be stronger ♪
How do you feel?

Yeah.

In love.
Really?

MILLI:
I felt like I just fell in love.

Literally that's how I feel.

I fell in love with your mum.
I fell in love with your dad.

I can just tell she's so happy,
and it makes me just like,

honestly like my heart
is warming watching them.

KATE: Well, Milli,
if that's warming your heart,

how about we turn the heat right up?

[SULTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

Wow.
Now that's what I'm talking.

Oh, my goodness.

Hey.

This is what I do at home every day.

Really?
I have a hot tub at home.

If I come for a visit
I'll be having a hot tub?

Absolutely.

With Carole,
the attraction is there.

She's beautiful.

She's sexy, very sexy.

Oh good.
What's with the strawberries?

It's like...

[CHUCKLES]

I have very minimal tricks
in my life.

I doubt that.

[LAUGHS]

Their sexual chemistry is
through the roof already.

SACHEM: Seems like a match made
in heaven between Carole and my dad,

both being open about their
sexual compatibility.

Yeah, it's just different.

It is different, but it's exciting.

As my mum's parent,

I don't want to have
any naughty boys.

They are building a connection
more physically

that I see with the body language,

but I'd definitely like to see them

have deeper chats emotionally.

Now it's getting hot.

Oh, it's been hot.

[LAUGHTER]

Passion and lust is amazing,
but it's not forever.

Yeah.

KATE: So Priscilla's worried
it's all lust

and no love with her mum and Roe.

While Darren's daughter Tess

reckons he needs to show Petula
more passion.

Love the dress.
Oh, thank you.

A little something
that I threw together.

Oh.

Darren and I are in a good place,

and I'm excited also to see
where this goes.

WOMAN: They look really happy.

Yeah.

The interactions between them
kind of felt like

they were old friends catching up.

So I really feel like
things are kind of progressing

a little too slow.

Simmered my pasta sauce
for like three hours.

I simmer my pasta sauce
for seven hours.

Oh.

I would love to see Dad
go on a date with Petula.

It would be really nice
to kind of see him

open up this connection
to a more romantic dynamic.

ALL: Oh my God.

WOMAN READS:

[LOUD CHEERS]

KATE: As the dating consultants,

the kids all need
to come to a decision

as to who gets the date.

It's the biggest way
they can influence

their parent's romantic connections.

It's like a big decision, you know.

So the kids must discuss
why their parent deserves a date.

I would like to see my dad
go on a date

like I think Priscilla's mum.

I want to see that happen.

Noted.

MAN: Sam.

I think I would want my mum
to go on a date with Marette.

[LAUGHTER]

If we could put together
a little girl's day for my mum

and Tonya's mum,
that'd be amazing.

Yeah.

I think Petula and Darren,
it would mean more than anything

to me to see them
go out on a date.

TESS: I just think watching them

kind of melted both of our hearts.

And I feel like I would really love

to see them just enjoy the company

of each other outside of
the retreat, away from people.

And that's why I really, really,

really would love to see my dad
and Petula go on a date.

Am I meant to cry?

That was really good.
That was good.

They need to take it to
that next step

and leave the retreat.

Yeah.

[PHONE CHIMES]

DARREN: Hey, Message.

New message.

HAYDN: Here we go.
WOMAN: Oh, my God.

MARETTE: The dating experts
want you to have

a little rest and relaxation.

[CHEERING]

Darren and Petula...

..get ready to leave the retreat

for an intimate pamper session.

[LOUD CHEERING]

We chose Darren and Petula,

and we wanted them
to have that opportunity

to go outside the retreat
and build on their connection.

How nice.

We'll be thinking of you.
Don't wait up.

Alright, let's go.

♪ Yeah, love could be
what we have been dreaming of ♪

Hi.

I'll be your therapist today.

Come and take a seat.

We're gonna start seated.

So let's get the therapies going.

I think this date will be
a great way for Petula and I

to get to know each other better.

KATE: But what Darren and Petula
don't know

is that in the next room over,

their kids will be spying on them.

They're hoping to see
their parents get out

of the friend zone
and zone in on romance.

How special is this
just getting away.

I know.

DRHYS:
This is exactly what she needs

to make that spark and potentially
find that forever love.

There are some big personalities
in the house.

You are one of them.

I like just being that quiet

in the background and that observer,

and I like that you just step up
and take control.

There's a balance.

Darren is very out there,

confident and sort of great

at bringing it out in everyone
and getting everyone to talk.

And that is great for Mum
and that is what Mum needs.

But Mum also need someone
that isn't, you know,

constantly having to be
a show pony and showing off.

Are you surprised how quickly our
connection is sort of progressed?

Definitely.

I didn't expect to feel this
comfortable this quickly.

There's no awkwardness and
the banter and the playfulness

and your quick wit
and the way that you...

Fast.
..Yeah, that too.

But it's just fun.

And you can bring something
to every conversation,

but you listen as well.

Yeah.

And you asked me questions
about me,

which not many men
have done that.

[BRIGHT MUSIC]

I think we've definitely seen
a different side of dad today,

which has been really nice to see
because it's obviously

the side that I know and love
about him.

And I think it was nice,

especially for Drhys to see
that side of dad.

Kind of show him
that it's not all just,

you know, jokes and big confidence.

There's a lot more to him
than meets the eye,

and a lot more that
we haven't really seen yet.

THERAPIST: OK, guys.

So we're going to move you
into the next room

for the second component
of your treatment,

which is a little facial treatment.

Oooh.
OK. Let's go.

I'm going to steal some chocolate.

[SOOTHING MUSIC]

It was really good to see them
kind of relaxed,

but I wanted to kind of
watch him really like

up close and personal
kind of flourishing

in this romantic environment
with Petula.

So I've decided that we're
actually going to be replacing

the beauty therapists

and massaging our parent's head.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I'm massaging the Petula's head

and I almost lost it.

It was hilarious to be in there.

[SOOTHING MUSIC]

I'm loving this,
and the massage is amazing.

It was really nice.

This was more like
a healing massage.

DRHYS: We had to be dead silent.

I breathe funny, and I just knew,

Mum lying there blindfolded
would have known

that I was in the same room as her.

Hey, she's a psychic medium.

She probably already knew.

THERAPIST: How are you feeling?

[PETULA LAUGHS]

Can I go back to sleep, please?

Thank you so much for the experience.

We hope you enjoyed it today.

We'll see you soon.

Thank you.
That was amazing.

How cool was that?

Oh, my gosh.

BOTH: Oh.

That was amazing.
How amazing was that?

Nice bed head.

Check out yours [LAUGHS].

Dizzy.

After watching them
interact with each other.

I honestly think the future is
really promising for Dad and Petula.

You alright?
Yeah.

There's still a lot more
layers for us to go,

but I think Darren could be
my forever love.

I'm coming back here.

Yeah, for sure.

KATE:
Coming up, the toughest test yet.

[SAM SCREAMS]

To help their parents find love.

Win today's challenge,

and you will receive
a huge influence.

I need to win this for my mum.

And...

..a sexy new single dad

rocks up to the retreat.

Got to let go of that
rock star dream

and hopefully find love.

[UPBEAT TECHNO MUSIC PLAYS]

MAN: Oh, no.
MAN 2: What is this?

WOMAN: Oh, my God.

KATE:
[LAUGHS] Hello, offspring.

Hello.
Hi, Kate.

How are you going?
Good.

Fabulous.

Alright. In the game of love,

every little advantage helps.

And shortly,
we're going to discover just how far

you're all prepared to go
for your mums and dads.

Your parents came here
to make new connections.

Tonight, one parent who has failed
to do that will be leaving.

As voted by you.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

SAM: My heart sank.

All the parents here have
wanted a chance to find love.

Like, what am I gonna do?

You will each get one vote
in a secret ballot.

However, win today's challenge,

and you will receive
a huge influence

of two votes.

Haydn, Sam and Tonya,
winning today is so important

as your parents are yet
to find romance at the retreat.

HAYDN: Oh, my God. This is huge.

This challenge is next level.

Dad, still yet to make
a connection in the retreat,

so those two extra points
will come in handy.

This is obviously clear the people

that have got
the connections currently.

My mum's not one of them.

I need to keep my mum
in this retreat.

She needs to find a man.

Well, it is time to play
Ice Ice baby.

You'll be shown baby photos

of the parents at the retreat.

You have to identify which parent
the baby photo belongs to,

all while submerged

in a lovely ice bath.

Oh, my God.

Pretty cool, hey?

So cool.

It's a lot on the cards here,
a lot on the table,

but I know I need to save my dad.

The challenge will be done in rounds.

The first two three
in each round wins

and goes into a final playoff.

It's got ice. It's cold.

This is gonna suck.

MAN: Yeah, Haydn.

KATE: Tonya, Sam, Haydn,

deep breaths and remember
what you're playing for.

We are playing for
the biggest influence so far,

that the winner of the challenge
will get two points

in tonight's vote
to send someone home.

I'll do anything to help dad
find love.

I know my mum hasn't formed
a genuine connection,

so I'm really hoping it's not her
that's going to be sent home.

[BLEEP]
WOMAN: Breathe Sam.

Alright. Who is this?

Shane.

Who is this?

Petula.
Petula.

Yes.
Oh, my God.

How long's this go for?

[BEEPING]

OK, who's this?

Marette.
No.

[SCREAMING]

It's a boy.

Darren.

Yes, it is.

Haydn, if you get
this question right,

you will win this round
and go into the final.

Alright.

Who is this?

No, I'm done.

Far out. Oh, Mum, I'm so sorry.

Petula.

It is Petula. Guess what?

Haydn, you are through
to the final round.

WOMAN: Nice work.

[LOUD CHEERS]

TONYA: That did really suck.

So I got the win in that round
and now I go to the main event.

Milli, Tess and Drhys.

Let's start the second round.

Oh, my [BLEEP].

DRHYS: There was a lot at stake.

The winner gets two votes.

But this ice bath,
I could get hypothermia.

All that just for mum to find love.

I'm committed.

SAM: Come on, Milli.

Come on, Tess.
Come on, Drhys.

KATE: Alright.

Who is this beautiful baby?

Heath.

No.

Mel.

Well done.

Who is this?

Marette.

Who is this?

DRHYS: Sachem's mum.

Dad.
[LAUGHTER]

The cold.
I can't remember anyone's name.

Nothing breaks a man's spirit,
like having an ice bath.

But, hey, I'm here for my mum.

I'm all for the challenge.

KATE: Who is this little dream boat?

DRHYS: Heath.

KATE: Correct. It's Heath.

Well done, Drhys.

You're into the final playoff.

Sachem, Kayla, Priscilla,
let's get started.

[KAYLA GASPS]

SACHEM: We came to the retreat
so that dad could find

a genuine connection.

So I definitely need
to pick up my game

and try and win this challenge.

KATE: Sachem is in. Kayla's in.

And Priscilla is.

No, I can't.

No, I'm out. I can't.

KATE: Oh, Priscilla's out.

Good news for Sachem and Kayla.

I want to be a prima donna,
but I could not last in the ice.

It's just too cold.

OK, let's go,

KAYLA: Dad and Kristy are back
on solid ground.

So I'm thinking, Oh, did I really
want to win this challenge?

[BLEEPING], I'm out.

Oh. Kayla's out.

Congratulations, Sachem.

You're going into the final round
with Drhys and Haydn.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Just watched them put an
extra four or five bags of ice in,

and it was freezing.

I knew that this was
going to be a tough round.

WOMAN: Slooshy.

I'm just thinking of
hot summer days.

DRHYS: Is it working?
You melting the ice?

No. I can't stop shaking.

I'm going to ask you
to guess this baby.

That's Milli's mum?

KATE: Yes. It's Kristy.

Haydn, breath.

You're doing so good.

Who is this?

Darren.
No.

I'm shaking.
Breathe.

Deep breath.

I was trying to fight hard
and trying to push through because

I know that dad deserves
a real chance of love.

Oh, my God.
You've got this Haydn.

No, I'm [BLEEP] over it.

Oh, he's out.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed
that I couldn't

push through and stay
in the ice bath longer.

I know that Dad's up
for elimination tonight.

I'm going to speed this up.

Who is this?

DRHYS: That's Darren. Dazza!

KATE: Who is this?

DRHYS: That's my mum.

KATE: Who is this?

That's Marette.

KATE: Sachem and Drhys,
you're both on two points.

The person to answer
the next question correctly

is the winner.

Who is this?

Heath.

KATE: Yes.

Sachem, you are the winner.

Congratulations.

And Drhys, you are impressive,
but a loser.

SACHEM: I hope that my dad
can see this and know that

I've put in some hard yards
for it Dad.

So lock it in mate.

Then it kind of hit me
what I actually had won.

So it was a little bit bittersweet
having that type of power

in terms of having to vote twice.

A loser, am I?

[LAUGHTER]

KATE: While the kids thaw out,
at the retreat some of

the single parents are
skating on thin ice.

MEL: In the retreat it's Marette,

Heath and I that still haven't
made a connection

as everybody else has
their little love nests,

you know, their love bubble.

Those orchids are beautiful.

[BEEPING]

HEATH: Hey.

New message.

Here we go.

Brace yourself.

CAROLE: Tell us. Tell us.

SHANE: Alright. Good evening.
Good evening.

It's time to start prepping
a sumptuous banquet to share.

Set the table,
pour the wine and keep connecting.

Please set two extra seats
at the table.

MAN: What the hell?
This is huge.

We got two guests coming to dinner.

[CHEERING]

I want someone to walk in the door

and my stomach to flip and get oh,
like, "Oh my god."

I'm dying to know
more about him

and I want him
to know more about me.

I would love that.

How are you feeling about

entering the retreat?

Are you excited?
I am.

What's so funny?
Nothing.

I'm nominating my dad
for the retreat.

I think he needs to slow down,

stop living that rock star life
and find love.

[ROCK MUSIC]

I'm a passionate muso
from Melbourne.

I've been in and out of bands
for last 15 years.

I took that passion
and ended up working with

one of the biggest bands
in the world.

I just finished the Kiss tour,
so yes, I have worked with Kiss.

I was an assistant to Gene Simmons.

Life on the road with one of
the biggest rock bands in the world,

it's been an absolute blast
and wouldn't change it for anything.

But I'm 55, got to let go
of that rockstar dream

and hopefully find love.

Well, you can play guitar
so she can sing,

form a little duo band
and tour the world I guess.

Oh, we'll be lucky to tour
an RSL to be honest.

Could do a duo instead,

sing love songs
to each other all night.

I was made for loving you.

I was with James's mum
for a few years.

This little, well,
big man came along.

It didn't work
for a number of reasons.

Just go into it and be yourself.

But I've been myself for the last


So is there any other tips
you can give me?

Yeah right. You might have
to change it up a little bit.

[LAUGHS]

It's a great opportunity
and fingers crossed there's going

to be someone that can,
we hit it off hopefully.

Kookaburras are laughing too at me.

Laughing at his love life probably.

Yes. Probably.

Coming up...

KRISTY: Two dinner guests.
Who's it going to be?

I'm Tim.

Will Mel's heart finally be mended?

I might not be single for very long.

KATE:
On a night when sparks truly fly.

You haven't been on a date yet?

HEATH: No.
How come?

I may have been
waiting for somebody.

But...

the person leaving
the retreat tonight is...

..Will it be too late

for one of our most loved singles?

Two dinner guests.

Who is it gonna be?

♪ Yes, I'm excited. ♪

Drop me off and find a man.

Our relationship is definitely
not like the norm.

We have a mother and daughter bond

that is off the charts
from sharing clothes together,

choosing men for each other
when we are on nights out

giving the old wink,
this one's for you mum.

That's true.

I'm very excited for you.

You know like, not to get
too ahead of myself

with everything and
fall in love too quickly

'cause you know what I'm like.
I know.

I'm a flight attendant.

I meet so many different people

and that's what I love
about the job.

Out of everybody that I meet,

wouldn't it be amazing if truly
I did find the love of my life?

I mean, and I end up meeting

this person in a retreat.

I was married to Chloe's
biological dad for seven years,

met somebody else
that I was with for 16 years.

Unfortunately,
there was infidelity in that

and I found myself on my own.

I want to be married one day again.

And you know what?

The gods will make it happen.

I didn't think I'd be


that I'd be single.

I mean, don't get me wrong,
I haven't been single single.

I haven't been a nun.

But I've like...

Nope.

Like my fortune-teller said,

you will meet
the man of your dreams,

and I reckon this is going to be it.

The games begin.
Bring it on.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

KATE: While our hot new


drive towards a date with destiny...

Garlic.
Garlic.

Onion.

Pots.

Let's get a cooking pot.

The parents at the retreat
prepare dinner.

Got to get the party going.

Blissfully unaware that one of them

will be voted out
by their kids tonight.

SACHEM: Won the challenge and now
I've got two points to vote.

I am not 100% sure exactly how
I'm going to make this decision.

For me to have this power
to maybe make or break

someone's experience is kind of
weighing on me a bit.

It's just scary to think that

there's maybe someone who's else

coming in and that person might have
been the right person for them.

And it's like all these variables
and possibilities and it's like

how are you supposed to make

a clear cut decision on that?

MEL: Where do I sit?

Right here sweetheart.

OK.

I want a new person
to come in for her.

Everyone that hasn't
found a connection,

I'm like there's going
to be someone for them.

And my beautiful Marette.

Thank you darling.

Oh! Thanks.

TONYA: I'm really worried
because I know

my mum hasn't been on any dates,

and I'm really hoping
it's not her going home

because she really deserves
to find love.

DRHYS: Worried for your dad again?

Yeah. Worried for dad.

I feel pretty nervous.

I really want dad to stay cause

I'm sick of him always being alone.

He's so deserving of
finding his forever love.

He is the best person I know
and he's my best friend

and I really want him to
find that special love.

Our beautiful couples.

Who do I start with?

The bride and the groom,
please join us.

[LAUGHTER]

And the newly... newly couple.

Newly what? Newly what?

Newly sparred.

CAROLE: Newly sparred.

There you go.
Thank you.

Thank you my love.

And obviously I'm sitting
next to Roe

just to keep an eye on him.

WOMAN: Where are the spare seats?

One here and one next to Heath.

MEL: Two new singles coming tonight

so I might not be single
for very long.

We'll just have to see.

ALL: Cheers.

It looks amazing, Carole.

Thank you.
CAROLE: Bon appetit.

This has topped off
a magnificent day.

KRISTY: So how much are you hoping
that the person that

comes in tonight you might
have a connection with?

I want that romance.

I want someone to love me.

SAM: I know that my mum's
put herself out there.

She hasn't said no to anything.

What's stopping her
from going that last

extra mile having a relationship

or like like creating
a connection with someone?

So every parent has their
own story and every parent's

gone through something, you know.

We all brought them here
for like a reason.

I don't want to end it
for any of them.

I'm just really worried right now.

Just because my mum
may be a slow burner

doesn't mean that her place
at the retreat

is any less than anybody else's.

She's tried really hard
and I have faith in her

that she can find
a potential connection.

MEL: I'm ready.

Yeah.
CAROLE: Of course you are.

I can see your boobies.

[LAUGHTER]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

Thanks for dropping me off today.
I'm excited for you.

Thanks.

You are gonna do so well.

You just got to be yourself
at the end of the day.

Go and enjoy it.
Alright mate. Thanks.

Love ya.
You too.

See you then.
Take care. Behave.

I got to let go of living
the rock'n'roll lifestyle

and find love.

If I met the love of my life
in this retreat,

I would be really really
happy about that.

WOMAN: It's a new dad.
Oh my gosh.

MAN: What the hell!

Oh my god. This is so crazy.

Hi.
MAN: Hello.

Hi, guys.

How are we?
ALL: Hello.

SHANE: Welcome.
Thank you.

I'm Tim.
ALL: Hi Tim.

ROE: How are you doing buddy?
I'm Roe.

Roe.

Look at your mum.

I know. So cute.

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATION]

TONYA: Oh, look at them.

Wow. What a feast, huh?

MEL: Hi I'm Mel. How are you?

Hi Mel. Good. How are you?
Yeah, good, thank you.

Yeah.
Wow, You guys are into it already.

This is it, huh?

MAN: This is a crew mate.
MAN 2: This is it.

I'm left handed...
My son's left handed.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Tim seems really gentle.

Very, he feels, how can you say?

Truly, really nice.

How old are you?

TIM: Me? 55 and still
staying alone, you know?



Look who's coming out
with the jokes.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh my god.

Is this finally going to be
something happen for my mum?

Like, is this going to be
a potential future partner?

I just hope that, you know,
there is time.

DARREN: Where are you from Tim?

From Melbourne.

[CHEERING]

This opportunity
cannot be cut short.

ALL: Cheers.

KATE: Right now,
it's a delicious dinner party for ten

after new dad Tim's
taken a place at the table.

But there's still one seat
that needs to be filled.

SHANE: So are you feeling alright?

Yeah. Could be another guy.

No.


DARREN:
Oh, of course you're always hoping.

Yeah.
Never say no.

Am I hoping to leave the retreat
with more than a friendship?

Well, that's why I'm here.

Yeah.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Game on.

You know what you've got to do.

Do us proud. You got me.

I'll be waiting for you.
Absolutely.

No high expectations.

Bye. I love you.
I'll see you soon.

Love you loads.
Oh, I'm gonna miss you.

Bye baby.
Bye.

Go on. Strut your stuff.

Go on milfy. Go go go.

I have a habit of being
a bit too spontaneous

and I rush in and it
hasn't got me anywhere.

And this time
I'm going to do it properly.

I'm hoping something is going
to come beautiful from here.

No way.

Oh, you're kidding.
MAN: Pretty good looking.

MAN 2: She's a milf.

I wanna see my dad's reaction.
MICHELLE: Hello!

ALL: Hey!

How are we?
WOMAN: Good. Hello.

This is a bit surreal.

Va va va voom.

How are we? Oh my god.

Ooh wee.

Nice to meet you.

First impression...

Hi.
Wow.

She looks hot.

Who else I still gotta meet?
Heath.

How are you?
Heath, nice to meet you.

How are you doing?
Michelle certainly lit up the room.

That amazing blue dress.

Three letters.

Wow.

That's his best joke.
He goes - three letters.

Wow.

DRHYS: That's his best joke,
three letters, wow?

That's his number one joke
when he's when he's feeling it.

This just got spicy.

OK. So sorry to interrupt.

Have you had dessert yet?

Here you go.
SHANE: Is that a Yorkshire accent?

It's Liverpool, actually.

Yeah.

Oh, my dad loves an accent.

I'm a scouser from the UK

but I live in Sydney now.

Do you want a glass of wine?

Oh my god. Yes.
Have you got a glass of bubbly?

OK. Hello.

This is, yeah. This is really weird.

It's nice.

Look at his smile.

I love this place.

I haven't even had time
to just go...

Here you go my love.

MICHELLE: Oh, cheers.

MARETTE: You're welcome.

Cheers.

CAROLE: Welcome to the house.

Cheers.

Nice to meet you all.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

I'm about to fall off this chair.

So, what's everyone do
for work wise?

I'm a hairdresser.
Brilliant.

I know where to look
when my hair needs doing love.

Haven't seen him smile so much.

KRISTY: Another hairdresser.
So the two.

Oh my god. I know who I'm going
to be hanging out with.

[LAUGHTER]

I'm a hairdresser.

No, I'm...
[LAUGHTER]

I love people and I can't get enough

of getting to know people.

My job, of course, you know,

being a flight attendant
I talk to strangers every day.

Your turn.
My turn.

So, firefighter.

Oh, yeah, we like that.

Yes. Very sexy.

I've got a thing for uniform.

[LAUGHTER]
MAN: Look at Heath.

He's all red.

PETULA: I'm a psychic medium.

CAROLE: I know, right?

That is the best.
Do you know why I love it?

I actually went to one literally

a few weeks ago and they said to me,

no word of a lie, she goes to me,
"I see you with men everywhere.

There's men everywhere."

I was like, "Really?"

And she's like, "Yeah, you haven't
met him yet, but he's coming".

This guy's coming along.
And I was like...

Was it a big long table?

[LAUGHTER]

He didn't say about the long table.

MARETTE: Was his name Heath?

[LAUGHTER]

MAN: He's gone red.

I've never seen you blush.

He is actually.
It's warm in here, isn't it?

It is.
It's those candles next to him.

Finally dating consultants
I think are listening to me.

He's our local legend
old Heath here.

CAROLE: He can put any fire out.

[LAUGHTER]

Dad's been hurt in the past.

So I just want to make sure
that he's going to be happy

for the rest of his life
and he won't get hurt again.

Michelle might be that
special person for him.

I think I'm going to be happy here.

DRHYS: Come on Heathy boy.

He's got this. He's got this.

KATE: Coming up.

You haven't been on a date yet.

No. How come?

I don't know.

I may have been waiting
for somebody.

Oooh.

Just as a new flame
arrives for our fireman.

SAM: The time has come
to cast your secret votes

and to send one parent home.

Oh, far out.

His hopes of finding love

could be extinguished.

Feels evil.

[BRIGHT MUSIC]

[LAUGHTER]
He's gone red.

KATE: Talk about a juicy night.

Our little singles nest is housing

two plucky new lovebirds.

Got kids?

James.

He said, yeah, let's just do it,
you know.

Nothing else has worked for us.

You might as well try this.

And that means the bunker
is set to welcome

Tim's son James and
Michelle's daughter, Chloe.

[CHEERING]

CHLOE: Oh my god.
WOMAN: Nice to meet you.

Want to educate me
what's going on here?

SACHEM: This is where we come
to spy on the parents.

Whatever happens in
the retreat we can see here.

And so far, there's been a lot.

So there's a lot to catch up on.

Some spicy things I can imagine.
SACHEM: Yeah.

CHLOE: This is a great idea.

I've always wanted to spy
on my mum, you know.

SACHEM: Well, there you go.

WOMAN: You've got your opportunity.

CHLOE: Yeah. I'm like,
what do you do wrong on dates?

I wanna know.

So now I can actually watch it.

It's a good dynamic.

Everyone is really great.

Yeah, so lovely.

Especially this bloke
who is just walking behind you.

Yeah.
He's like one of the best.

He's the, like he can do everything.

Fixes things, builds fires,
cleans things like...

You can do everything then.
Yeah.

No, I can't.

Well, he's quite cute with my mum.

Who's that?
MAN: That's Heath.

That is my father.
Hey!

[LAUGHS] I'm like, OK.

[LAUGHS] I definitely think
he's a bit of a silver fox,

so I've got my little
beady eye on him.

He's superman.
Yeah. And he's so domesticated.

He can cook. He can clean.

D'you know what?

You are really selling him,
aren't you babe?

[LAUGHTER]

She's totally sellin' him.

I like it.

And he's like...

WOMAN: Yeah.
OK.

[LAUGHTER]
MAN: He's embarrassed.

He's been the wingman
for the last five days.

Now, it's everyone's turn
to wingman him.

Yeah.
[SOFT POP MUSIC PLAYS]

I wouldn't mind...

HEATH: D'you want me to show you...
I'll show you around.

[SOFT POP MUSIC CONTINUES]

Let's have a little nose.

Stretch my legs, ey?
Yes.

[SOFT POP MUSIC PLAYS]

I love it.
MEL: You love it?

Yeah, it's good.

He goes, "You were
really trying to sell him."

[BOTH LAUGH]

CAROLE: Let's just leave him.
I love it...

KRISTY: I'll leave it now.
I've done my bit.

She's blonde.

She looks fit,
and she looks very confident.

And I know that's my dad's type.

But I'm really nervous about
tonight's vote to send someone home.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

MICHELLE:
So, have you enjoyed being here?

HEATH: Yeah. Yeah. I love it here.

I was a bit scared coming in.

I was like, oh, my God!

[CHUCKLES]
A little bit.

Yeah.
And then I was like, you know what?

What's the worst that can happen?

The anxious,
the nervous-anxious...

Did I look nervous coming in?

No, not really. No.

You owned it as you came in.
It was good...

I like to.
Yeah.

[LAUGHS] I like, too.
[BOTH LAUGH]

Heath is very lovable.

A bit of a blur.
D'you know what I mean?

Yeah.
He's got a good heart.

♪ Put my feelings in the rays ♪

♪ I've bit on emotions
got stuck in the chase ♪

ROE: Wassup?

Oh, yeah.
Like a pig in sh*t, isn't he?

[CHUCKLES]
[CHLOE LAUGHS]

MICHELLE: Oh, my God!

[LAUGHS] Have you been in it yet?

Yeah, I was in there today.
We all got in it the other night.

All of you together?
Yeah...

Oh, this is, this is heaven.
It's beautiful.

It's absolutely beautiful,
I gotta say.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's got a nice, cosy feel.

It does. Yeah.

I'm a bit nervous about
everybody, to be fair.

Really?
Yeah. Why?

I don't know.

Like, everyone's lovely.

I can sort of get a vibe of, like...

D'you know what I mean?
I'm just...

I guess the best thing
about everybody here

is that we're all on that same page.

We're all on that same journey.

Good.
Yeah.

They're all here for
the right reasons,

if that makes sense.
Genuine...

Genuine. Yeah, that's the word
I was looking for.

Yeah?
Yeah.

That's what I was saying.

You want someone genuine,
You know what I mean?

Not full of bullshit.
Yeah.

Does your mum have a type?

My mother has gone for every
single type in the past two years.

From the silver foxes
to the younger ones,

[CHUCKLES] to the ones that,

you know, have been heartbroken,

lost their wife.

Does your dad have a type?

[LAUGHS]
Yeah. I'd probably say your mum.

[LAUGHS]

♪ They say your heart speeds up ♪

♪ And the world slows down ♪

D'you want some dessert
or something?

No, thanks.

I gotta watch my figure.

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHTER]

Michelle is absolutely stunning.

Beautiful eyes.

Eyes that make you melt.

Yeah, it was, it was just...

It was really nice to connect
instantly with someone.

So, you haven't, you haven't
been on a date yet?

No.
How come?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm waiting for somebody.

Mmmm!
[HEATH LAUGHS]

Mmmm!
Waiting for her.

[TAPS THIGH]
DRHYS: Come on, Heathy boy!

Hayden dropped me off here
and he said,

"Go for it dad and find love."

When we look in each other's eyes,

there's definitely
a connection there.

I think it's going to be good, eh.
Yeah.

KATE: As the retreat buzzes
with new life

and potential romantic connections.

Let me dry with you.

You got a little pinny,
and I'll put it on.

Over at the bunker.

It's about to get real for the kids.

MAN: You're kidding.

SAM: The time has come to
cast your secret votes

and to send one parent home.
Oh, far out.

KATE: But for new kids,
Chloe and James,

they spared having to vote this time.

You must cast your votes now.

[WHISTLES]

MAN: I don't think
I'm prepared for this.

MAN 2: Yeah.
My mum has genuinely tried.

But some people might say,

"Oh, well,
she hasn't got a connection,

so it doesn't really matter."

So I was like worried with fear
that you know,

the others in the house
were going to decide

that my mum is the one to leave.

I'll go first.

There's a lot at stake.

And the adults who are
coming out of their shells,

they were making connections.

But there are some parents that
haven't found connections yet.

TESS: Considering who hasn't
solidified their connection.

If anyone in particular,
I would think of maybe Mel

and then Marette.

It's really difficult.

Doesn't mean they're not going
to make a connection yet,

so cutting someone's time short
is going to be really hard.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

It feels evil.

To have to make this call.

I know my mum hasn't formed
a genuine connection.

I'm really hoping
it's not her sent home

because she really deserves
to find love.

I don't know what to do.

I'm just really worried
right now because

I know there may be a potential,

you know, love interest
for my mum with Tim.

I think she needs more time

to explore this
potential connection.

I just want her to be happy.

I just...

Dad could be going home.

So it's very worrying,

especially after watching him
and Michelle,

there seem to be some
sparks flying

and I think it's time he deserves
to meet that forever love,

that forever person.

WOMAN: You're up. Good luck.

Good luck.

SACHEM: I've got two points to vote.

It's really, for me,
a battle between heart and head

and taking this seriously.

Because the name of the game
is to try and find love for people

who have failed at
finding love in the past.

And my vote could be
the turning point

of someone's experience here.

MAN: The man of the hour.

How did you go?

SACHEM: Definitely had to make

the decision based on my head.

Because I just felt like my heart

was being pulled in
a couple of different directions.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

KATE:
With the kids clearly emotional.

I need to put on my big girl pants

and break the news to the parents.

[CHEERING]

Oh, man.

KATE: I hear Carole.

Oh, hello.

I got movement going on here.
[LAUGHTER]

SACHEM:
This is too much for me, I think.

Well, hello, everyone.

I see that we've been
joined by some new people.

Michelle and Tim,
welcome to the retreat.

Thank you.

Let me fill you in on
how the retreat works.

What we're looking for here is
for people to make connections.

Your time here at the retreat

will be determined
by the dating consultants.

If you fail to make a connection,

you run the risk
of being sent home.

And I'm sorry to say,

tonight one of you
will be leaving the retreat.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

That person has been chosen
by the dating consultants,

and their name is in this envelope.

TONYA: I'm really hoping
it's not her.

She's been through hell with men,

and I feel like that's
the reason

why she really deserves
to find love.

The person leaving
the retreat tonight is...

[SOFT MUSIC]

I've got goosebumps.

I can already see that Dad
looks to be a little bit nervous.

And everyone in the room is just
feeling the pressure now.

We've all got a common bond here
and that's that

we all love our parents dearly
and want them to find love.

That's the whole reason
I put him up for this experience.

I really don't him to go home.

[SOFT MUSIC]

SAM: My mum's time in
the retreat is on the line,

and I don't want to see her go.

MEL:: I don't want to leave because

the retreat is helping me
find my voice.

Making me feel comfortable
with talking to other people

and making a connection.

It's you Marette.

I'm sorry.
That's all right.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

MAN: There's no connections there
with anyone else.

Anyone else?

Apart from you.

VOICEOVER: He's all in...

Michelle is absolutely stunning.

..but does she like him?

Your girlfriend's a real flirt.

There's just this look she does.

Ooh.

Starting to second guess.

What is wrong with me?

You just want to be able
to help him.

I want Dad to fight for Michelle.

Tomorrow, will the bravest move...

No, guys, this is a real big moment!

..he's ever made...

Come on, Dad!

..win her heart?
