Susan is silent and Karl wants her to say that they can work it out. Susan, however, has no intention of saying that since he lost any right to their life when he entered the relationship with Sarah. Karl says it wasn't a relationship - nor a dalliance, but Susan tells him that he has had six months to give it a name! She can't believe that he expects to walk in and expect everything to be normal again since he has betrayed her trust and everything that she and their children believed in.

Karl: Please, Susan, we can work it out. I'll do anything.
Susan: No. It's over.

Karl leaves and as the door shuts, Susan bursts into tears.

Hannah is on the phone and Lance keeps trying to tease her. Anne tells him that he had better not get the girls offside since they outnumber the boys. Lance spots Ruth carrying a fishing rod out to go in the garage sale and he objects, despite the fact he hasn't been fishing in a long time - but he insists that he will get back into it. Phil suggests a fishing trip, Lance agrees, and Ruth playfully hits Phil and tells him that he is not helping! They go over things that they've doubled up on, and Ruth brings out a pile of board games but Anne doesn't want them sold, and it appears as though everyone has suddenly become sentimental about throwing anything away.

Susan tells Libby and Billy that Karl was over and that she told him that he has to move on with his life. Libby says that they'll always support her.

Ruth and Phil have a cuddly moment before Hannah rushes into the kitchen lamenting that she had to wait too long for the bathroom which is why she's going to be late. She mumbles that she should be first in line since it's "my house", and Phil quickly berates her and for her attitude and tells her that she will come straight home after school to clean up her room. After Hannah leaves, Ruth says it's not the last altercation that they'll have but she assures Phil that they will get through it.

Erinsborough High
Amy is standing around telling a group of students what she'll do as captain. Lance and Anne walk past and are amused at how the power is going to Amy's head, and Billy jokes that they had better not knock it as she may be our first female prime minister.

Amy starts introducing herself to another group of students before Lance and Anne pull her away to class.

Motel/apartment somewhere in Melbourne

Erinsborough High
Susan welcomes the class to the new school term. She announces that since the previous school captain won't be returning for the new term, a new election will be held which very much surprises Amy who follows Susan out into the corridor. Amy insists that as vice- captain, she should automatically become captain. Amy cites an example:

Amy: In 1994 when they found incriminating photos of Miss Sweden, Miss Venezuela who was the runner- up in the Miss World pageant, had to take Miss Sweden's place as Miss World.
Susan: That's fascinating Amy, and your point is?
Amy: My point is, with Catherine Draycott not able to perform the duties of school captain, I am Miss Venezuela!

Susan is amused, but tells Amy that the rules are rules - the captain is always elected by ballot. She tells her to get her nomination in and cheer up.

Karl's motel/apartment
Cliff and Karl are having tea together and Cliff says that his separation with his wife was public humiliation so Karl's little exchange with Libby was a walk in the park.
