Eirini Rising
Given Max is very settled in Erinsborough, he is using that as his rationale behind keeping quiet about Aaron being roofied from his dad. However, he is equally fearful that others could be getting hurt because of him and Carter finding out where he lives. Roxy tries to reassure him that it isn't too uncommon for people to get roofied and is sure that her smart cousin will "figure out some way to get some answers."
Erinsborough High School
Clint volunteers to be the one to resign to save Jane from being suspended but she refuses to allow him to do that, because she did break the rules by not admitting their relationship. "You have done nothing wrong," she reassures him with before picking up her packed personal effects and leaving her office and the school.
The Waterhole
Holly is very overrun trying to cope with the punters and doesn't welcome Roxy trying to advise her!
Eirini Rising
Moira is unhappy at what she sees is Terese "limiting my amenities" for reporting what was going on in apartment 304 but turns out that the aerobics instructor is actually on leave this week! Roxy catches the tail end of their conversation and volunteers to have a wee chat but given Moira's reputation, she saves her niece from that conversation!
Lassiters Complex
Max catches Andrew to thank him for "taking the heat for me with Sadie last night" even if it meant being called 'clingy' by his own daughter! To help de- stress, Max has taken the day off but the lad is now worried that Hudson might be targeted and so is working himself up into a state again, which Andrew picks up on.
MAX: I can't keep living like this. I need to know if Carter's looking for me or not.
To help the lad out, Andrew is going to contact a friend who can do some quiet digging to get Max his answer.
Number 24
Like Clint, Byron (and Aaron when he arrives home) are trying to come up with a plan to help Jane as both don't think that her suspension is correct. Jane though is very resolute, she did the wrong thing and got caught.
After Jane heads to her room to lie down, Byron suggests to Aaron they contact Susan as she's likely to know how to challenge the decision but he doesn't think Jane will appreciate them interfering.
Harolds café (outside rear)
Holly joins Max and Sadie after her shift finishes, still unimpressed at what Roxy said to her! Sadie has the cure - dancing to loud music and suggests they head to the city, and when Max looks hesitant, he's reassured that they will protect him from "the evil drink spikers."
When Sadie heads off to chat to her mum, Holly tries to reassure Max to come but the lad feels that she (and Sadie) would be safer if he isn't with them.
Number 24
Aaron and Byron have gone all out to make a nice (romantic) meal for Jane... and the newly arrived Clint to help make up for the crap day she had. And, to make it ever more special, Jane has the house to herself tonight too!
Eirini Rising
Terese is shocked when she comes into the office area and finds Roxy playing Cluedo with Moira! After Moira wins, she heads off and Roxy reveals why Moira has been more angsty of late - she's lonely especially since gossiping has died down over the mystery of what was going on in apartment 304 has been solved. Terese is impressed at her niece figuring things out and at her suggestion [to Moira] about starting a puzzle/game club so she has company.
Back Lane Bar
Sadie is still peeved Max isn't with them and wonders if it's because he's been roofied before too... however Holly inadvertently reveals that it was someone Max knew who was roofied hence why he's acting as he is. After Sadie promises not to mention it to him, the pair head to the bar to get drinks but not before the obligatory selfie... however as they take their photo, some random guy at the side seems to be rather keen on the pair!
Number 24
Jane is on such a downer that even literature isn't getting her out of the mood she is in.
JANE: In the span of two days, I have potentially lost my dearest friend and my job. And I know it sounds indulgent, but I think those are losses worth wallowing in.
Clint agrees it isn't indulgent, he'd a feeling her explanation might be why she is down but Clint has a back- up plan... Edgar, and pulls a book out of his bag.
Back Lane Bar
Over drinks, Holly reveals her plan to Sadie on how she's going to get the Piano Bar job instead of Taye! "Why aren't you gunning for Paul's job?!" Sadie jokes back. The pair though should be paying more attention to what is happening elsewhere in the place... like the guy who has been spying on them and reports in to someone that he's "looking at his girlfriend right now."
Holly's phone starts to ring - its her dad but given the place has loud music playing, she heads outside to take the call leaving Sadie alone.
Number 22
Over a late night cuppa, Terese is curious to know given how quickly Roxy said yes to helping, is everything okay at home. Turns out everything is good at home but the lassie just wants to get back working again (but not doing ad- hoc admin for Shane!), something Terese can sympathise with. Terese thinks she is doing a fantastic job at Eirini but can't see an opening for her to stay on permanently and move the family down... although Roxy admits Kyle would rather stay north where he can live in shorts!
Back Lane Bar (outside)
As Holly tells her dad about her new job at The Waterhole, she hears a noise [sounds like chain fencing being moved] and immediately is on high alert. However nothing seems to happen, so she goes back to chatting with Karl.
Number 24
Jane is surprised to see a visitor to her house - Terese. When Terese and Roxy were chatting, Terese got a text message, it was Clint who texted and he explains why - he knows how much Jane's friendship with Terese means, and feels he's come between them, hence the text for her to come round, so they could chat things through.
After Clint leaves them to it, Terese begins by saying she doesn't want their fight to become permanent. Jane points out that Terese hurt her, which Terese admits was her 'retaliation' for Jane throwing her alcoholism into her face but goes on to admit she reacted poorly to finding out about Jane/Clint. In turn, Jane acknowledges that to Terese, she must look foolish for "gallivanting with a younger man" as well as him being an employee too. Immediately, Terese says she would never judge Jane for that but Jane is quick to reply that Terese did!
TERESE: Look Jane, I have worked really hard to get back into Eirini with everything that happened to Gino. I can't afford any more slip- ups.
Jane gets that, and agrees with Terese, that they've not been good friends to each other lately but both hope to change this.
Back Lane Bar
Holly comes back into the bar after talking to her dad but there is no sign of Sadie. She tries calling and checking the toilets but there is no sign of her/Sadie isn't answering her phone and so she leaves a voicemail asking her to call back.
Holly is getting rather concerned and eventually spots Sadie's bag (and phone) on a ledge underneath the table where they were at and now looks really concerned over where her friend is!
Number 24
The reunited friends have a farewell hug before Terese heads home to her own place.
Jane now gets and thanks Clint for his interference and has her own way of thanking him... well they do have the house to themselves!!!
Number 32
Andrew reports back to Max after getting his mate to do some digging - it would appear that Carter and his family have given up searching for him and so he can now "rest easy." Max looks hugely relived at hearing the news.
Number 32/Back Lane Bar
Holly calls Max to see if Sadie is at home (no) and so she explains to him that she's very concerned because Sadie is nowhere to be seen after she returned inside and isn't sure what to do next.
Byron, who was in the background talking to Aaron and Andrew, has picked up on his girlfriend's name being mentioned and asks what is going on. Ignoring replying back to him, Max asks Holly if she's asked around for Sadie and Holly confirms she has, but nobody has seen Sadie although the bouncer did think she'd left with some guy, however Holly thinks he's mistake as Sadie would never do that.
HOLLY: Max, I don't know what to do. I don't know where she'd go.
Andrew is now getting interested in this conversation and asks Max what is going on?
MAX: Sadie's missing.
