2025 Season - UK Episode Discussion

[pembie]

Struggled through episodes again it’s bit crap these days I think for some reason 

I found Xanders exit quite random and out of character really I don’t think he would really leave Rose and Dana without at least coming back to talk to them face to face first 

Eliza l think she burned down her froster home and that blonde hair is either her sisters or moms hair I think 

[jackienics]

We know Felicity died, Xander isn't coming back from Melbourne, Mackenzie is away and Eden has gone on a romantic getaway with Cash.

 

So who's opening Salt and running the restaurant? 

[Sb boy]

If tane dosent really want to marry harper or is marrying  her just for the baby  he should tell her instead. Of. Leading her a merry. dance .

[Red Ranger 1]

Well, Harper's continuing to get herself into a tizzy over marrying a man that probably doesn't love her.Would it be better if Tane was honest about it rather than skirting around the issue? Cash probably handled things the right way by agreeing to be best man while also asking Tane a few pointed questions about how he thinks it's going to work out.

Elsewhere, even Sonny's clowning won't make Remi thaw towards Cash and Eden.I both do and don't see where he's coming from.Cash has behaved very badly and treated Eden appallingly, and even though he's apologetic now, he's giving very little assurance that it won't happen again.(His complaining that Remi can't see that Eden meals the world to him missed the point by a mile: She did before, and he hurt her despite that, maybe even, perversely, because of it.) On the other hand, what exactly is Remi hoping happens? That Cash breaks Eden's heart all over again and, because he never supported them, he gets the satisfaction of saying "I told you so"? Even if he doesn't forgive Cash, and I'm not entirely sure he should, you'd think he'd support Eden and hope things work out for her.

I'm not sure what to make of Theo's decision to order the car part against Justin's advice.I can understand Justin being ultra-cautious about only buying parts for paying customers from people he can definitely trust, but this is meant to be a side project for fun.Yes, it may end up being a waste of money, but maybe that's all part of it.I do think Theo probably should have asked Sonny's opinion before buying, since he seems clued up on that sort of thing.

[H&Alover]

Cash put  a very pointed question to Tane, but all we saw was him just looking at Cash, seemingly unable to answer.  Maybe he doesn't know himself. I may be very fanciful here but does Tane think he would be betraying Flick in some way by telling Harper he does love her, if he does that is?   Cash would care about Harper, he is an old friend so wouldn't want to see her hurt.  There are plenty of couples out there where one of them, usually the bloke, hardly ever uses the L word, but they show it in many ways, but it's and again  us women who like to have it said now and again.  On the opposite side of the coin plenty of people say it and it  means nothing to them, just a habit. They are usually the ones who go on and cheat on their other half. 

Dana, it appears was in Melbourne but is now on her way back. 

Tane must have felt really awkward, for the second time in just a few weeks, by asking Cash to be his Best Man, so good for Cash he took  time to think about it and saying yes, a little mention of Flick being happy for Tane.  We got  a mention of who is likely to be  among the guests, seems some family are coming over. 

Remi really should trust Eden to know what she is doing, she and Cash are taking it slow and no there is no guarantee she won't be hurt again, Eden could be the one doing the dumping at some point down the line.  I can see why Remi's still very wary, it wasn't as if was over the 'usual' reason a couple break up, Cash cheating on Eden for instance, it was for most  of Eden's friends a really bizarre reason, which was all in Cash's mind.  It was Cash airbrushing Eden out of his life when she just wanted to talk to him that none  of them could get over. 

Sonny, not knowing the details, may have thought he could look it at  an outsiders   angle and see  a different way round it.  He did break  a very strict rule by playing Remi's  - sacrilege that.  Does no-one in the Lyrik house buy food? That cupboard was very bare, at least Mother Hubbard had an excuse. 

I'm hoping Sonny thought he was being helpful by pointing Theo towards a mate who could do good deals on car parts. Seems, then, Sonny knows his engines and cars, is it too soon to be expecting him to work in the garage at some point or am I being fanciful again?  Justin, after all has more experience in the motoring trade so would know what to look for and he did  point out the relevant things to look at, how old is it, does it have a warranty. I know it's just  a fun project and if this part  is naff, it can be replaced but then Theo would be paying out twice for something, so maybe it could be a valuable  - not just money wise -  lesson  for him next time.  

Bree has come back and as we saw she thought it was Remi's body  she was running her fingers  up, then finding out it was a woman!  I thought I saw Sonny sneak someone is, where did Remi sleep then? 

[CaptainHulk]

I like Sonny for some reason, makes Lyrik less boring!

As Sonny said they found him asleep on the couch.  

Interesting that Sonny has had a few pertinent things to say despite his devil may care attitude.  Maybe more to him than meets the eye at first glance.

[Red Ranger 1]

Well, Tane has gone from not saying he loves Harper to outright saying he doesn't. It's hard to say how naive he's being here. Yes, you can get married and fall in love afterwards, but there's no reason to be doing that here. A friendship isn't the worst basis for a relationship, but I think he's kidding himself if he thinks he'd be marrying Harper or even with her if she wasn't pregnant. Despite him trying to put it on Harper here, I think Tane is the one pushing to get married before the baby's born, and it feels like he's doing it to put a symbolic claim on her and the baby as his family.

So, as it turns out, Sonny, with a bit of help from Kirby, did push Remi over the line to realise punishing Eden for making a relationship choice he disagrees with doesn't help anyone. And he seemed to make a few points to Kirby about her life as well.

My sympathy for Dana got less and less as the episode went on and she behaved more and more like a spoiled brat.I know she's hurt, and I know Xander put her in a difficult position, and I know letting off steam about your ex is a right of passage, but she should have had more self-awareness than to stand there badmouthing him to Rose and expecting her to nod in agreement or be fine with Dana trying to get rid of his stuff (even taking back a present she gave him was unnecessarily petty). She gets points for at least apologising and trying to support Rose.

[H&Alover]

I mis saw about Sonny sneaking that girl in whose name he couldn't remember. Angela btw.   Did remind me of the old Flirty Bertie Remi when he was sneaking random women in.  Sonny did say they had just dumped Remi on the sofa, he must have gone out when he woke up to get some food which is why he wasn't there when Bree got back. Did she just let herself in or  use an actual key?  Sonny has now met Bree who he kept insisting wasn't real, I know I sound cynical but methinks he is going to be pretty jealous that Remi has found The One. 

I know it was a drunken apology from Remi to Cash so hope he doesn't take it back.  I was half expecting Cash to find Remi asleep in his garden in the morning

  Could be seen two ways with Sonny questioning Kirby's choice to be OK with Lyrik breaking up, she could do her own thing in her own time or be perfectly happy as she is but he is just stirring it. A mention  of her giving up med school for joining the band.

I do believe Tane does care for Harper and not just because she is carrying his baby, they did get to know each other as friends before their one night stand so not total strangers. You can care for someone and then fall in love with them.  That can happen with arranged marriages where couples only meet a few times before marrying and then never alone as they have to be chaperoned.  One big thing in his favour he asked Dana where Harper would like to  go for her/their  honeymoon, turned out it was Japan  and  he's booked it for three months hence. That won't be cheap.  I thought it was Harper wanting to get married before Archie arrived?  I thought It could be a Maori belief that mum and dad have to be married before a a baby comes along.  

Dana was having real tunnel vision over Xander not coming back and sadly it was Rose getting  both barrels, aside from her drunken ramblings to   Sonny.  Bree also got  a blast when she got back to the  flat and found out the news.   to Rose finally turning on her and saying how she felt, Xander has also left her behind.   Full marks then to Dana then for waving the  and being fully contrite and apologising.  It has started Rose wondering what she has left in the bay,  after all it was Xander's idea they both move there because of Jasmine who isn't even a blood relative of hers. She did find it awkward at first being city cop, but she adjusted. In case you're wondering Rose, you've got a good job, Senior Constable, good friends, people who have welcomed you into their  community and you are well liked.

Well, I guess that answers the question of who's running Salt at the moment: Levi did promise Mackenzie he'd keep an eye on it.Eden probably should have let Abigail finish before assuming she'd be useless.But hey, at least it seems to have brought this often fractured set of siblings closer.

I have to side with Mali over Kirby here, she shouldn't have been sat scribbling her in her notebook when she had work to do, including the phone call that he took the class purely so she could handle. But anyway, it seems Sonny's comments have inspired her.

Even though she was being less obviously obnoxious, I was still annoyed at Dana stealing Xander's robot and hoped Rose would call her out on it. Otherwise, just a lot of set-up for Mali to decide to play white knight.
