Lassiters pavilion
Holly is demanding an answer from Andrew then when he doesn't immediately reply, she gets all angsty and accuses him of keeping quiet to avoid having to admit that he does care about her. To be fair, she isn't actually letting Andrew get a word in and when he finally gets a chance to, he accuses her of "reading into this too much" as he is simply "a concerned friend" but to her, that is "BS!" Andrew explains he kept quiet about watching her so she didn't mis- interpret things.

ANDREW: We're just friends Holly.

"Fine," she replies but demands an end to the weirdness between them - no more awkwardness or keeping an eye on her, she wants things to go back to how they were previously.

Lassiters management offices
Krista and Terese are chatting when they hear Paul's arrival. Terese warmly greets Paul's return and he introduces to them his secret weapon to win the Bronze Bell - the former Ramsay Street resident, Annalise Hartman! We hear that thanks to Lucy, Annalise is no longer a filmmaker but is the assistant manager at Lassiters Manchester!

Krista [Tanaka, but still Sinclair in the titles] pulls Paul aside into her office. She isn't too amused at his secret weapon but Paul is refusing to discuss not using Annalise as he is convinced it will help them win the Bronze Bell and Lassiters Manchester isn't losing out on having an assistant manager as she was conveniently taking this time off as leave.

PAUL: I think you're gonna love her. She's like a 90's version of you!

The Waterhole
It's depression overload as Sadie and Taye arrive in bar - she's peeved at being told second hand that Byron is leaving and Taye is down in the dumps over his sister. Leo stops by their table to thank Sadie for babysitting Abby and did a great job apparently especially with the cubby house [or the 'Princess Palace'], so much so she plans on cheering Taye up tomorrow.

Lassiters management offices (Paul's office)
We find out a bit more about Annalise since her last visit to Ramsay Street - she went from making doco's to being part of Lassiters Manchester about 10 years ago after Sam didn't like her traveling all the time. Annalise also reveals that she and Sam are now separated.

Getting down to why she is here, Annalise is proposing that Lassiters Erinsborough bids to host the Worldly Gems Jewellery Expo and the ball is already rolling thanks to her sister Jo putting in a good word with a couple of the key players that she is friends with.

The Waterhole (beer garden, next day)
With Wendy inside getting their orders, Holly goes over to the table Andrew is sat at, very relieved to be back working at The Waterhole than at the pavilion. The pair seem relaxed today unlike yesterday but their conversation is curtailed when Wendy returns with their drinks. The trio start chatting nonchalantly and Holly doesn't look too impressed when Wendy cuddles into Andrew.

Lassiters Complex
Annalise looks like she is having her own personal trip down memory lane as she stands in the complex survey the place before Aaron interrupts to introduce himself. She is giving him a rundown of the various places where she has worked at in the complex, before Krista joins them and hears that Annalise wants a meeting with The Waterhole team to make sure what she's planning for the jewellery expo will work… Krista doesn't look too pleased to hear her presence at The Waterhole isn't required!

Lassiters park
As they stroll around the grounds of the hotel, Andrew apologises to his wife for not being attentive which she appreciates him saying. We then hear her update him on the digging Jane is doing into Saskia but their 'date' is curtailed when Wendy has to leave to drop things off with a colleague in St. Kilda, so she warns Andrew she could be a wee while.

While the pair were chatting, in the background Holly approached but stopped to watch instead and didn't look too impressed at Wendy kissing Andrew before she took off.

Number 22
Terese tries to stick up for Krista being ditched in favour of Annalise but Paul doesn't think Krista should feel threatened by her arrival. She's curious too over this sudden desire to win the Bronze Bell having never bothered with it before but it would seem the seed was planted by Lucy.

Given what Kirsta said to her about the Eirini finances, Terese is having trouble talking to Paul about that because he is too busy and isn't too amused at him rushing off to Lassiters. Paul though picks up that she wants to talk but she is quick to say it can wait.

As soon as Paul is out the door, Terese calls Rhett for an update and the look she gives tells us that there are no prospective buyers on the horizon.

Number 26
When Taye arrives and sees how 'hot' Sadie looks, he immediately removes his shirt but his luck isn't in just yet, she wants to use the love dice birthday pressie he gave her… however when she goes to get them from her bag, they are missing! Taye thinks this is a game but it isn't, and then it dawns on her that Abby was playing in her bag yesterday.

Lassiters management offices (Paul's office)
After looking at a photo of Jim, Annalise feels guilty on behalf of her mum who stole his money instead of trying to save his life… or rescue the oranges! Paul points out she isn't responsible for her mum's actions, which she recognises as "trademark Helen Daniels."

The pair are reminiscing about Helen when Krista arrives and can see that they've made progress in their pitch without her involvement. They are so confident in this plan, they don't intend to listen to any of the ideas Krista has, however Paul does reassure her that she will still be involved in the pitch. "Sounds like I should be grateful for that!" Krista sarcastically replies with, but Paul's rationale is that Annalise is "on a role" and thinks its best if they just "let her do her thing".

The Waterhole (beer garden)
Holly doesn't get off to the best start with Annalise by being late for the staff meeting, mis- calling her by the wrong name and trying to shake hands when they are dirty! This earns her a ticking off from Annalise before she heads inside and an inquisition from Aaron over what is going on with her too as she bailed on her shift. "I've got a lot on," is the explanation from Holly, which Aaron doesn't buy, so she then blames her state on Bowman still being out there, which is getting to her. That he does buy, but warns her about them getting on the wrong side of Annalise although Holly is determined to win her over!

Lassiters hotel (foyer)
Krista would have been better not to have spoken to Annalise when she enters the hotel as she isn't very complimentary about the staff at Lassiters Erinsborough nor at the photos Krista has of the various places within the complex. It doesn't any better either when enquiring over how Annalise got involved in this project, Krista hears that Paul summoned her on this emergency and she had to organise leave to do that!

Penthouse suite
After Leo and Abby leave, Taye and Sadie can thoroughly hunt for the missing earrings… sorry dice in the 'Princess Palace' but to no avail. Taye has a sudden thought - what if Abby has them on her?!

Lassiters Complex
Krista is getting lots of reassurance from Terese and Leo as they walk through the complex towards Harolds.

When Leo heads inside Harolds with Abby, Kirsta asks if Terese has managed to talk to Paul yet about her Eirini financial woes (no) and is surprised to hear that Rhett says there's been no interest in Power Road either. Terese will chat to Paul but feels Krista needs to go first!

Number 26
A half- naked Andrew answers the door to Holly who is looking for Sadie to unload about her crappy day at work. When Wendy comes home (via the back door) it's Andrew's excuse to get Holly to leave… which she does in a bit of a huff after witnessing the Rodwell's kiss again. However after she leaves and Andrew has a mini- chat with Wendy, he seems torn over Holly's visit.

Harolds café
Taye was right, Abby does have the dice and is playing with them when they enter the café! The pair work in tandem (Taye chatting to Leo while Sadie goes to talk to Abby) and eventually the dice are secured after Abby extorts an improved Princess Palace and a muffin out of Sadie!

SADIE: You know, you negotiate like your granddad!

With the dice safely in her bag, Sadie apologises to Taye for failing to cheer him up but he's had a great time with their espionage plan!

Lassiters brasserie
Annalise digs out her laptop and has a trip down memory lane for inspiration and starts to re- watches what some of the previous RSR's [Melanie and Jane] said in her 2005, 20th anniversary doco (episode 4773 in the archive!) but when her now ex does his bit, the laptop is quickly closed!

Lassiters management offices (Paul's office)
An irate Krista gets straight to the point when she enters Paul's office and wants to know why he lied about how Annalise came to be in Erinsborough, especially as it sounded like they were having a crisis. Turns out Paul laid things on thickly to his sister so Annalise could get the time off because he is determined to win the Bronze Bell! She isn't impressed at being undermined and in hindsight, Paul agrees he should have spoken to her about what he was planning but did think she would welcome the extra pair of hands. The explanation hasn't brought Krista round, she is still annoyed at him and now accuses Paul of disrespecting her.

PAUL: I got carried away, okay. But surely you can see what an asset Annalise is.
KRISTA: Actually no, so far I can't. All I see is someone who's running her own race

While Paul calls Annalise "a perfectionist", Krista describes her as "condescending and borderline rude!" And of course who happens to walk in just as Krista said those words, yip, Annalise. Krista does apologise for her outburst and that Annalise wasn't meant to hear her say that.

ANNALISE: You know, I'm just doing the job that I was hired to do.
KRISTA: Yes, I know.
PAUL: Absolutely. Now come on ladies, surely we can move past this.
KRISTA: I don't think we can, Paul.
ANNALISE: Neither do I.

Paul looks rather stunned that the ladies haven't kowtowed to his request as the promo begins!
