No.32
Haz tries to tell Mackenzie that it's all fake and she needs to trust him.
MACKENZIE: Holly's had all her savings stolen. Jane's become a laughing stock. And Aaron thinks his dead husband is calling him. So please explain to me why all the signs are pointing to you.
Haz shakes his head.
HAZ: I can't.
MACKENZIE: That's it. Haz, you are going to explain everything to me right now, or I am going straight to Andrew. You're freaking me out.
HAZ: ...OK. Just turn your phone off and I will explain everything.
MACKENZIE: What?
HAZ: Just do it, just turn it off.
Mackenzie turns her phone off.
Hotel
Chelsea is in the lift up to the penthouse doing up her blouse and clearly feeling a bit icky after her encounter with Jeffrey.
At the penthouse, she finds Paul chatting with Terese. They tell her how moving the ceremony for Krista's baby was.
Paul tells Chelsea that he's ordered a report from an IT company and she offers to chase it up for him(!)
No.32
Haz is telling Mackenzie that anyone can hack a phone or a laptop if they know what they're doing.
HAZ: I lied to you, Mackenzie. About never going to Uni. I actually did a degree in IT.
MACKENZIE: Why would you lie about that?
HAZ: While I was there, I formed a startup with some mates. We were tech nerds for hire. We kitted out influencers, debugged old desktops. It was all legitimate work, but then someone asked us to send a few phony emails and make it look like it was coming from their boss.
MACKENZIE: You did that?
HAZ: It also made us triple the money...
She scoffs.
HAZ: We were broke Uni students! And people were throwing money at us to do their dirty works.
MACKENZIE: I'm guessing it wasn't just emails that you did.
HAZ: We also did phone scams and deep fakes and spread malware...
Mackenzie takes this in, upset.
HAZ: I'm not proud of any of it. At the time I'd somehow convinced myself that we weren't the bad guys and it was just business.
Mackenzie is silent.
HAZ: And then...we got ask to mess with this guy's career. And honestly, he seemed like a jerk, so it wasn't hard...but it spiralled way, way out of control. And after that I couldn't pretend anymore, i knew that we were definitely the bad guys, so I quit. I had enough money to start over. And that's when I came to Erinsborough.
A park
Leo and Krista are lying on a picnic blanket.
KRISTA: Thanks for this.
LEO: For what?
KRISTA: Giving me space to just breathe.
LEO: I wish I could do more.
KRISTA: You being here and keeping me company is all that I need right now. I used to turn to drugs at times like this. Losing Hope so soon after losing David...I just didn't know how I was going to get through.
LEO: How are you holding up?
KRISTA: It hurts so much.
She becomes tearful.
KRISTA: I'm proud of myself today. I survived and I'm sober.
He kisses her hand.
No.32
Haz is explaining that he destroyed all the gear when he left his mates, and now he wants revenge. They saw the photo of them in the cafe and hitting everyone in the photo.
Mackenzie realises that Cara, Remi and Nicolette are in the photo and wants to go to Andrew. He begs her not to, he's worried he will be charged with everything he did before he started his new life in Erinsborough.
HAZ: They also sent me screenshots of your email.
MACKENZIE: What email?
HAZ: One to Harlow...where you said you'd never love me like you loved Hendrix.
MACKENZIE: What makes you think that that's real?
HAZ: I don't know Mack. After what's happened in the past few days, I'm not sure what *is* real.
She goes over to him.
MACKENZIE: That email's not mine. I would never say something like that. They probably faked that too.
HAZ: Thank you. I don't at all deserve it, but I needed to hear you say that.
Penthouse
As Terese is preparing to leave, Paul asks her what's happening with her insurance claim. He offers to help her document the site.
When she's gone, Chelsea look at them worriedly.
No.32
Mackenzie is wondering why she hasn't been targeted. Haz admits that he was the one that put the malware on her phone and Byron's, to monitor what was happening.
MACKENZIE: We're going straight to Andrew.
HAZ: Mack, the police are too big for this and they move too slow and they don't understand these guys the way I do!
MACKENZIE: This whole situation is too big and too dangerous!
HAZ: You need to let me take care of this my way! I'm sorry Mack, but you *have* to trust me.
MACKENZIE: Trust you? You keep saying that. But how can I? Everything you have ever told me has been a lie.
HAZ: Not everything. I've shared every single bit of my new life with you. You've been a part of it all.
An emotional moment comes between then.
MACKENZIE: I need to think.
She leaves.
Garden
Krista is standing at the memorial. Leo comes along with a present from Paul. It's a ceramic mould of Hope's footprints.
KRISTA: It's beautiful. Glad I have something of her. Something real I can keep close.
Leo comforts her.
LEO: Let's get you home.
Lassiter's complex
Jane, Nicolette, Aaron and Sam see Mackenzie and they walk along. They see Jane's car has been covered in banana skins. Jane is upset, saying that she's never going to live down the deepfake video. She hasn't even told Mike about it. They comfort Jane and Mackenzie looks horrified.
Front Garden of No.30
Haz approaches Cara and offers to help lock down the Varga- Murphy's tech products so that they aren't attacked.
Lassiter's
Chelsea gives Paul the IT report. She's forged it to say "Inconclusive".
Park
Mackenzie is crying.
Penthouse
Terese tells Paul that she's decided to move back home. Chelsea is pleased to hear this. She pointedly tells Paul that she's going to "run herself a bath" but he is distracted.
When Chelsea has gone, Leo tells Paul that it must be hard for Chelsea now that Terese and Toadie a splitting up. Paul says he and Terese are just friends, but Leo looks disbelieving.
Garden of No.30
Mackenzie is urging Haz to go to the police about the hackers.
MACKENZIE:It's ridiculous to pretend that you can handle this on your own.
HAZ: It's not that simple.
MACKENZIE: Yes, it is! You are letting these people terrorise us. And if you want to stop them, you need to tell the truth!
HAZ: You don't get it, do you? Why do you think you've never met my family. Why do you think they never come and visit me? It's because I told them the truth and I lost every single one of them because of it. They were so disgusted by me that they disowned me. My brother told me point- blank never to contact him again. Ever. I haven't seen him, my sister, or my parents in over two years and I've got a niece I've even met.
MACKENZIE: Haz, I'm...I'm so sorry.
HAZ: I already know how this plays out, OK? So please, don't make me give up the only family that I have here.
MACKENZIE: This won't end unless you go public. It's the only way to take away their power. The police can protect you.
HAZ: No. It just means I'll destroy a whole life I've rebuilt here and that's exactly what those guys want.
There is a pause.
MACKENZIE: If you won't talk to Andrew, then I will.
She starts to walk off.
HAZ: What? No, Mackenzie, just please, please just give me one more week to do things my way. Please.
She thinks about it.
MACKENZIE: One week.
Penthouse
Chelsea is out of the bath and wearing a dressing- gown. She tries to kiss Paul, but he asks her to sit down.
PAUL: I've been rethinking our arrangements now that Leo and Abigail are moving back in. And...I'm going to arrange a room for you in the hotel. You don't want to contend with the fuss of a four year old, do you?
CHELSEA: Are you breaking up with me?
PAUL: Oh, no, darling, no, no, nothing like that. Just this way you get your own space.
CHELSEA: Well, there's no need to that. I'd love to stay and get to know your family. It'd be...lovely.
PAUL: The thing is Chelsea, look, an awful lot's happened in the last few months and beacuse of it, I really need to make Leo and my granddaughter a priority at the moment. You understand that, don't you?
(Later)
Paul and Leo are talking about Chelsea's new living situation. Paul says that since he's still with Chelsea, Terese can look on him as platonic support. They also talk about the momento of Hope. Leo thinks Krista will work her way through it.
LEO: I reckon she's got this.
No.30
Krista, in deep grief, makes a cup of coffee and looks at the momento of Hope. She goes to the cupboard and takes out some pills. She looks at them, considering. Finally she throws them back into the cupboard and slams the door.
She sits on the floor and sobs.
