Hospital
Jessica tells Karl that she had a really good time last night. Karl is uncomfortable about talking about it at work - he wants to be discreet. Jessica agrees - they don't have to advertise it until they "know what it is". She departs, and then Aidan comes over.

AIDAN: Doctor Kennedy! How was the date?
KARL: What?
AIDAN: Rhys told me about it yesterday.
KARL: That's none of his business!
AIDAN: OK...then I won't mention it again.
KARL: It's just that Jessica and I...work together.
AIDAN: Karl...look, everyone here's too busy hooking up with everyone else to care what you're doing.
KARL: I'll bear that in mind(!)

He looks up, and the receptionist winks at him(!)

When Summer has gone, Karl invites Jessica to come around for a home-cooked meal at his place. She looks pleased. The receptionist is earwigging in the background!

Harold's
Summer and Aidan pass the time of day, then Susan and Karl come in. Karl asks Susan how the move is going and she tells him she's taken some kitchen stuff. She suggests he pops around tonight to see her new flat, but Karl, of course, has plans with Jessica. He doesn't tell Susan this.

Ramsay Street
Toadie and Susan are reminiscing about the past as they load the last of Susan's things into the car.

TOADIE: Hey, do you remember the time Billy and I ran away?
SUSAN:(laughs) Yeah, like it was yesterday! I thought Karl was going to explode.
TOADIE: Yeah...and then when I first moved in here?
SUSAN: You were so scared. Even though you wouldn't admit it.
TOADIE: You made that house so welcoming. And now you're not going to be in it anymore.
SUSAN: I'm just moving a few streets away.
TOADIE: Yeah, but I'm going to miss not having you so close.

They hug.

SUSAN: Everyone's got to grow up and leave home sometime, eh? Do you know that I've *never* lived alone? I really need to do this, Toadie.
TOADIE: Yeah. I know.

They hug again.

Summer gets in the car, and Susan follows, after one last lingering look at No.28.

No.28
Toadie asks if Summer knows about Jessica. Karl says he hasn't told her yet - and he hasn't told Susan yet either. Toadie says he can't let Susan find out from anyone else.

TOADIE: Susan wants to be single. You don't. She understands that. It's not like this is the first time you guys have been here.
KARL: All the more reason not to assume how she's going to react. I don't want her to think I'm jumping straight into another relationship.
TOADIE: I thought it wasn't a relationship? (firmly) Tell her.
KARL: I will. Today.

They sip their teas.

Charlie's
Susan sees Karl in the bar. He gives her a plant as a housewarming present, and says he was just on his way over to her place. He awkwardly asks her to sit down at a table with him.

KARL: I just wanted to sah how happy I am for you, finally getting your own place. Must be a relief.
SUSAN: It is.
KARL: Things have been difficult for us both, moving on. I wanted to see how you felt about us seeing other people.
SUSAN: Oh. Oh...is this about Jessica?
KARL: How did you know about that?
SUSAN: Just something that Lou said, and I know you've been spendign a bit of time together.
KARL: It's not serious. We're just doing a fun run together, it literally just happened.
SUSAN: Karl, I like Jessica, I always have, she's a really smart woman.
KARL: So you don't mind?
SUSAN: It's not really my business to mind.
KARL: You know what I mean.
SUSAN: Karl, I never expected you to stay single.
KARL: It's just that it has been a problem in the past.
SUSAN: Well...this is different. This was...my decision. It's what I want, and I'm happy. I want you to be happy, too.
KARL: (sincerely) Thank you.

No.28
Karl and Jessica are just pouring themselves a glass of wine when Susan drops around. She's surprised to be walking in on a date and comes over all awkward. Karl tells her it's fine, but Susan decides to make a quick, but awkward exit. Karl isn't phased, but outside the door, Susan looks mortified!

SUMMER:(VO) Susan was here when Jessica was over?!
KARL: (VO) Yes. And she was OK.

Susan looks through other photos of her, Karl and Mal.

SUMMER:(VO) Karl, this was her home!
