In the seventh episode of this new comedy, Austin (Michael Theo), meets his half-sister, Florence (Ellie Mckay), for the first time as they prepare for the rough cut screening of the documentary, “The Greatest Man I Never Knew.” This documentary aims to rebrand Julian in the eyes of the world. However, things take an unexpected turn when Florence discovers Ingrid’s (Sally Phillips) hidden talent—her pre-Big Bear nude paintings titled the Phallum Series.
Ingrid, inspired by this discovery, embarks on a new journey to exhibit her artistic work. She organizes a gallery exhibition, leaving Julian (Ben Miller) feeling a bit neglected creatively. But Ingrid’s exhibition soon becomes the least of Julian’s concerns when the rough cut of the documentary reveals his true colors to Austin.
A rogue video clip exposes Julian’s self-serving intentions, as he callously states that Austin may not be his son, and that the potential career boost makes it all worthwhile. Hurt and betrayed, Austin abruptly exits the cinema, leaving us with the question: Will Austin find it in his heart to forgive Julian for this ultimate betrayal?
Austin, Series 1, Episode 7 airs on Sunday, 21 July 2024, at 8.00 pm on ABC Australia.
