Ramsay Street, the following morning
Toadie has got his car back. PHil is hosing down the pavement and calls him over. He asks Toadie about the argument between him and Pinhead before the accident. Phil says he thinks he should make a statement to the police. Toadie is angry - Phil is going to hand the police a motive. He storms off.
Ruth tells Phil that she's off to meet her ex-husband. Phil is cross - he asks Ruth if there's more to the meeting than she's seeing. Lance comes up and says he'll go in her place - he's sick of Ruth and Phil fighting.

No.30
Toadie is ranting to Sarah about what Phil said. Sarah suggests that they do something constructive - go door-knocking around where they found the car.

Lassiters Lake
Lance comes up to his father. He tells his Dad that it's time they sorted a few things out. Lance tells his dad that when his dad abandoned them it took them a long time to get over it. He doesn't want the family to go through that again. He says that his father (Bill) is also causing problems between Phil and Ruth. Bill says that he just wanted some support. Lance says that he's taking advantage of Ruth and taking her money and he's not going to stand for it. He tells Bill that Ruth is married again now. Bill says that he won't bother Ruth again. He tells Lance that he's grown up. Bill goes to leave. Lance asks him if he'll be in touch next week for his and Anne's 18th birthdays. Bill had obviously forgotten.

Martins
Phil and Ruth are waiting for Lance to come back. They bicker a bit. Lance comes in and tells them that Bill is going to lay off. Lance is quite cross. He says he told his father what he thought of him, and it's wrecked whatever relationship they might have had left.

Toadie's car
Toadie, Joel and Sarah have had no luck with their doorknocking. Joel asks Toadie if he likes Geri. Toadie says very over-enthusiastically that he does(!)

The Pub
Geri is trying to persuade Joel to let her move in to No.30. Joel says that she can't move in - he likes being with her, but they've only been together five minutes. He needs longer. Also, Sarah and Toadie are not keen.
Elsewhere in the pub, Toadie and Sarah are talking about Geri. Sarah is hoping that they'll break up - Geri is a nutter and Joel can do better.

Martins
Ruth comes in - she's been to the surgery. Phil is still rather distant with her. Lance has gone out. Ruth says she's been doing a lot of thinking - they need to sort things out. Ruth says she's apologised and explained but Phil says she has handled it badly. Ruth says that everyone makes mistakes. Ruth says that if Phil continues to hold it against her, there's no future for them.
Later at the Martins
Phil has been for a walk. He says he wants to get past their problems. Phil says he thought that they had a really good partnership and he can't believe that Ruth didn't confide in him - it's knocked the wind out of him. Phil says it's probably because he has so little respect for Ruth's ex-husband. He asks Ruth to never behave in that way again and she promises she won't. He also says that he'll need a little time to get over it. They agree to have no more secrets from each other.

Garden of No.30
