Chloe works on the laptop, Chloe looks at her phone. (We see these events happening at the same time.) Chloe sits on the sofa thinking, Chloe slowly paces. Chloe leaves Nicolette a voicemail asking her to get in touch.
CHLOE: I miss you. I need to see you.
Chloe looks at Nicolette's missing page on a Missing Persons Board. Chloe paces then looks at Nicolette's page again.
Sheila knocks, Chloe invites her and Kyle in. They want to know how Chloe is doing, she hasn't heard from Nicolette. Chloe tells them that Jane and Clive have gone to Queensland, Nicolette had contacted Toby. Sheila is pleased there is some connection. Chloe isn't sure if it will work.
KYLE: She will turn up eventually.
CHLOE: All the waiting is driving me crazy.
Chloe doesn't feel able to do anything. Kyle thinks the poster will help. Sheila offers any help they can give or a listening ear. Chloe thanks her.
SHEILA: I think your Mum would have liked me to help and I'm sure she's here in spirit.
Hospital
David is sitting on a bed staring into space, Aaron brings him a drink. Aaron wants to know what happened before. David wanted to know if Nicolette had contacted Stevie.
DAVID: I really think she knows something... It was more what she didn't say.
Aaron understands where David is coming from. He gently points out that David's colleagues aren't allowed to break the confidentiality rule. David feels he has no other choice. Aaron thinks they should ask Karl to speak to Stevie instead. Aaron hopes Stevie won't put a formal complaint in. David would rather they left Karl out of it. Aaron is just trying to suggest options. David just thinks his temper got the better of him and just wants to leave the hospital. Aaron tries to call after David but he has already gone.
Harold's Café

HENDRIX: Are you taking lessons from Karl?
Mackenzie explains that Melanie is good at focusing on details. Melanie admits that she's counting pennies as she's working part-time. Toadie thinks she will find work soon, Melanie hopefully agrees on the 4th attempt! Melanie starts to read Toadie's order, Toadie offers to pay, Melanie accepts. Melanie offers to foot the bill next time when she is back to full-time. Melanie admits it's taken longer than she was expecting. She hasn't had any feedback which seems to be the way when she's not fitting the criteria. Mackenzie is surprised that Melanie doesn't fit the EA role they're looking for and offers to look over Melanie's CV. Melanie tries to brush it off but Mackenzie is happy to help. Melanie hands over her CV, Toadie is surprised it's only one page. Melanie says that she wanted to keep it as short as possible. Chloe has come in and is listening to their chat.
TOADIE: There is a thing as too short.
MACKENZIE: How can you show them what you can offer if you don't give them anything?
Chloe leaves as Melanie is still happy to keep it to one page.
Lassiter's Complex
Harlow is chasing up a delivery over the phone as Sheila waits impatiently next to her. Harlow confirms she has made the payment the week before. As Harlow walks off still on the phone Sheila tells Chloe that half the stock of booze has disappeared and Harlow is overseeing things. Harlow is telling the person on the phone that they've made the mistake.
CHLOE: (Quietly) I don't think she's got it.

No.32 Backyard
David is staring as Aaron and Karl comes outside. Karl tells him that Stevie won't be making any formal charges. Aaron is grateful and thanks Karl.
KARL: I think you should seriously consider taking leave. Just until things settle and you feel equipped professionally.
DAVID: You're saying I'm unprofessional.
Karl denies that that is what he meant. Aaron gently tells David that he doesn't need extra pressure added to his job which is stressful already, Karl agrees. Karl felt the same way when they were dealing with Olivia. He could manage to carry on despite all that was going on. David doesn't think their situations are the same. Karl agrees but tells David he can get what he's going through, feeling angry and frustrated. Taking leave gave time to pass for Karl. Clive really got behind this happening and Karl is thankful he did this.
AARON: Seeing you with Stevie before, David. That just wasn't you at all. We need to find a way to ease this pressure or I'm worried you'll do something you'll regret.
Harold's Café
Susan arrives and Toadie tells her about Mackenzie helping Melanie. Susan is surprised as Melanie has quite a few years of experience and wonders if Melanie's age is going against her. Toadie disagrees as Melanie has a lot of skill to offer but her CV isn't great. Susan is sure that this will help.
Mackenzie recalls that Melanie was the EA at Justin Buke's. Melanie tries to downplay it. Mackenzie encourages her to list it as the firm is definitely well respected. She tells Melanie that it's important to list these firms. Hendrix doesn't think that anyone checks if the details are correct. Mackenzie plans to tidy up the CV and will have it ready for Melanie's interview. Melanie thinks Mackenzie is being too kind but Mackenzie is happy to do it. Toadie thanks Mackenzie. Melanie smiles but looks unsure.
Lassiter's Office
Harlow is giving Terese an update for work. The delivery will be here in the morning and due to the mistake there will be a discount. Terese is pleased with all of this. Harlow is enjoying the challenge but wasn't impressed when Sheila was hassling her!
TERESE: If you stay here long enough you'll appreciate people like Sheila. If she complains it's usually for a very very good reason.
Harlow heads off as Chloe arrives to see Terese. Chloe has come to tell her that she's no longer working at the Winery, Terese understands why Chloe has done that. Chloe was hoping to return to her old job, the next day if possible. It is driving Chloe up the wall waiting to hear anything about Nicolette. Terese would be happy for Chloe to return but suggests she's moving too quickly. Terese suggests she should hear from Nicolette first but the distraction would help Chloe. Terese doesn't want to rush her so suggests that Chloe returns the next week, Chloe agrees.
No.32 Backyard
David is anxious, Jane hasn't been in touch even though she was meant to have arrived in Queensland. Aaron asks for help folding the laundry. Aaron wants David to take Karl's advice.
DAVID: It's not fair. I shouldn't get pushed out of my job.
AARON: Karl asked you to take leave from your job as you're a loose cannon right now.
DAVID: I think I'm as good as can be expected after -
AARON: No no you're not, you're not. You're beyond exhausted. You are not even thinking clearly anymore. You want to be out there finding Nic.
DAVID: Do you not understand anything?
Aaron tells David he is also stressed and scared. David points out he's folding the laundry calmly. Aaron is trying to handle this calmly and rationally. Aaron wants Nicolette and their baby back, David isn't so sure. Aaron thinks that David is making things worse instead of better. He thinks David will be too worn out to try and rescue their relationship with Nicolette when they do find her. Aaron tells David that he's listening for the phones so David should go and rest, David insists he's fine. Aaron tells him he needs to rest and refuses to budge.
No.28
Karl arrives home and Susan wants to know if he caught up with David. Karl tells Susan he attempted to do just that but he doubts if he succeeded in making any difference. Susan can't get around David being capable of hassling a colleague. Karl agrees it's not like David.
KARL: He's unravelling. Unless he admits it I'm at a loss how I can help him.
Susan points out that Karl can't force the issue and hopes that David will ask for help when he's ready.
Hendrix and Mackenzie arrive home. Hendrix tells Mackenzie she has a lot for Melanie. Mackenzie hopes that it will help Melanie get the job. Karl is surprised that Melanie needs help as she has done a great job in the past. They agree but even Hendrix can see that the CV doesn't really help to show this before Mackenzie helped her. Mackenzie is astounded that Melanie was reluctant to include that she worked for Justin Buke which should help her to get a job. Susan suggests that Melanie only worked for him for a short time. Melanie was Justin's PA for more than a year a couple of years ago. Mackenzie would announce if she worked for Justin even if it was a short contract!
Ramsay Street
Melanie is heading off, Toadie runs after her with her updated CV.

CHLOE: Everything you said the other day was really hard to hear and it hurt. But you're right. I just want to apologise again to you and David for all the pain I've caused.
AARON: OK. (He comes over to her table.)
CHLOE: I've been doing a lot of thinking and I'm starting to understand why I veered off course. So I've cut all ties with Leo.
AARON: That's really good but I don't have time for it, not today.
Aaron collects his takeaway and heads off as Chloe tries to put a brave face on. Terese has come in.
TERESE: It's never easy trying to put things right.
CHLOE: It's not like I've got anything else to do.
