Woman: The press release for our new vintner.
Don: Mysterious.
I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see just who we've got planned for taking over the reins.
Tippy: We need to talk about the pickers.
So, I was wondering whether we could try and get some WWOOFERS in?
Dogs?
Willing Workers On Organic Farms.
Maybe you considered that you might be in... menopause.
Oh.
[Laughs] No.
No.
We don't use the "M" word.
Griffin: I came out.
Woman: Gus likes his life simple.
And you've just invited 600,000 followers into it.
I've never cared about someone like this before.
It can't have been easy, my whole family under one roof, given what hap-- well, what nearly -- what nearly happened between us.
I mean, that wasn't even a thing.
Honestly.
Right.
Julian: I really don't think that you and Mum are happy together anymore.
Is it Daisy?
No, no.
It's not Daisy.
It's me.
Nurse Stacey: Two strong heartbeats.
We're having twins.
Oh!
Oh!
[Gasps] I love grapes!
Great.
They speak to me.
Uh... The job's pretty simple.
Um, we're -- we're a couple of weeks away from harvest, and we need some extra hands.
Um, it -- it is quite a physical job.
Okay.
I know some of the other vineyards are -- are probably paying more... Oh, no.
All I need is a hot meal and a bed.
Though I do struggle to sleep alone.
Right.
Well, um... We'll be in touch.

We can't wait any longer.
We have to hire as many people as we can, and just hope that the bank will come to the party.
Well, what if they don't?
Well, if we don't pick enough grapes, we can't make enough wine.
Daisy, we will pick enough grapes.
We don't even know how!
Tippy will teach us.

There is no other option.

You start with a wide stance and a loose wrist.
Way ahead of you.
And then you cup the grapes gently.
Because why?
Uh, bruised fruit makes bad wine.
At least someone's listening.

But that photo has gone viral.
No, I thought Griffin deleted it.
No, well, not before it made its way onto Twitter, Reddit, TikTok.
Look, Gus is hotter than Timothee Chamalet and Benedict Cumberbatch all, like, jammed together -- which is actually a whole other level of hot when you think about it.
Tippy: Are we doing this?
'Cause you made quite a big deal about it, so... Louis: We are doing it.
Thanks, Tippy.
Are we sure he doesn't know that?
Gus thinks that social media is some kind of communicable disease.
Well, he's got a point.

Uh, no.
No.
I wouldn't.

I have a patient who retired here 15 years ago, and they still call him "Weekend Johnny."
Oh.
Did you, um -- Did you move here for family?
No.
Job.
And the lifestyle.
I used to work in, uh, emergency medicine.
Oh.
City hospitals -- very frenetic.
That's a big change.
Yeah -- too big, if you ask some people, like my ex-wife, for example.
Oh.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh, no.
It's all amicable.
She tried to matchmake me with her hairdresser last week.
Oh.
And, uh, how did that go?
Sorry?
With -- With the hairdresser?
Oh.
She lives in Auckland, and, you know... I can barely do short-distance relationships.
[Laughs] Well, amen to that.
[Laughs] I mean, I guess... it's hard for most people to understand that some of us are perfectly happy being single.
Oh, yes.
Uh, yes.
Ha, yeah.

My son will be around in a couple hours, and I just thought if you were close by... Uh, yeah, I'm just gonna swing by now.
Arapeta: Only if you're not busy.
Oh, it's nothing that can't wait.
