Greg's Caravan
Andrew and Felix are hauling Greg over the coals for having faked his own death.
ANDREW: Cara's devastated. So are the boys.
GREG: They know you're here?
FELIX: No.
GREG: Good. In the long run, they'll realise that they're better off without me.
ANDREW: What about your wife, and Chelsea? They're grieving for you.
GREG: They'll get used to it. And a little life insurance will ease the pain.
ANDREW: So you think that they want money?! They love you.
GREG: I love them too. That's why I did it.
He explains how he did the deed, pushing his car over the cliff on a rainy night. It exploded on impact.
GREG: It's the best thing for Cara. It's the best thing for you too. Assuming your secret hasn't come out yet.
ANDREW: ...
No 26
Cara tells Wendy and Sadie that Chelsea has assigned her the task of making a photo presentation for Greg's memorial service. Cara wonders where Andrew is; Wendy explains he's keeping his distance from her as per tradition, as it's the morning of their 'second wedding'. Cara wishes Wendy luck for the ceremony, and leaves.
Wendy asks Sadie how things are with her and Taye, but Sadie doesn't want to talk about it - though she does say they've agreed to put their fight aside for today. Sadie pours them both a drink and raises a toast.
SADIE: To Mr and Mrs Rodwell.
WENDY: To working through anything. Your dad and I are proof that you can do that.
Greg's Caravan
Felix tells Greg he took a big risk staying at the caravan. Greg says he just needed to lie low for a bit. He admits he saw Felix and Cara from a hiding spot in the trees when they came to check the place out last night. Greg says he plans to head north tomorrow, to work on a cattle station owned by a mate of his. Andrew looks conflicted.
GREG: I made a mess of my life. No turning back for me. But there is for you.
ANDREW: What you're asking of me... is huge.
GREG: What I'm asking is for you to do the right thing by everyone.
Harold's Café
Clint is telling Jane about a pastry- making class he's booked in for him and Addison, explaining that she wants to be a chef one day, so he thought it would be a nice way for them to spend time together after coming clean to her about his history.
Jane is pleased for him, and there's a loaded pause between Jane and Clint - much to Nicolette's annoyance, as she is holding out a coffee she's made for Clint which he's too busy looking at Jane to even notice! Nic coughs, and he finally takes it from her hand. Clint leaves.
JANE: I'm just being friendly.
Nicolette looks sceptical. Meanwhile, Paul and Taye are having a meeting about the V-Bar. But Paul notices Taye is distracted, so tells him to get whatever he's thinking about off his chest.
TAYE: Long story short - Holly's pregnant, Sadie told me in confidence, I told Max.
PAUL: Wow. Shane Ramsay's gonna be a grandfather. Sorry, go on.
TAYE: Anyways... it just turned into this big thing. Basically, Sadie said that if she found out she was pregnant to me, she wouldn't tell me (...) I mean, I get it. It's her choice.
PAUL: Okay, but... you do respect her point of view?
TAYE: Of course.
PAUL: Okay, well, it's simple - you keep respecting her. If you have a healthy relationship, she's not likely to keep something like that a secret, is she?
Greg's Caravan
Felix and Andrew have got back into Andrew's car.
ANDREW: This just keeps getting worse and worse. Greg's alive, and I'm a party to that secret. Both as a police officer, and as Cara's friend.
FELIX: It's not just you, mate.
ANDREW: Yeah, I know. But there's not a second that goes by that I don't think about how I've dragged you into this mess... Is Cara really better off without him?
FELIX: Thinking her father's dead versus knowing the truth?
ANDREW: Yeah. But if I blow the whistle... it's all coming out, isn't it? Everything. Me, Holly...
FELIX: I don't reckon he's bluffing.
ANDREW: I still don't even know for sure. Is Holly's baby Max's, or is there a chance that it's mine? Felix, can I stand at the Pavilion today - can I say my vows - knowing all of this?
No 28
Susan is wrapping a present for the vow renewal, and obliviously chatting to Holly about it. Susan says she's glad not to be officiating and being able just to be a guest instead. She then tells Holly that Shane, Max's dad, rang, and said that he and Max's mum Yvette want to set up a 'future grandparents' call with Karl and Susan, so they can figure out the best way to support Holly and Max.
SUSAN: It did raise a question, though - your mum.
HOLLY: I haven't told her yet.
SUSAN: That's entirely your decision. But since everybody else knows, it's only a matter of time before she finds out.
Holly looks worried, and by the time Susan's finished rummaging in the cupboard for some ribbon, Holly has vanished from the room...
No 32
In the back yard, Max is sanding down the rocking horse that he's refurbishing for 'his' future baby, when Holly turns up. She looks guilty as she watches him working on it, before eventually greeting him. Max bangs on about which colour to paint the rocking horse, but Holly can't take any more and stops him in his tracks.
HOLLY: I haven't been completely honest with you.
MAX: What? What do you mean?
HOLLY: I should've told you sooner. I guess I just didn't want to face up to it (...) The baby might not be yours.
Shortly afterwards, Max is processing this bombshell.
MAX: If I'm not the father, then who is?
HOLLY: I had a one- night stand.
MAX: With who?
HOLLY: I can't say.
MAX: Do I know him?
HOLLY: No... it's not important (...) After we broke up, I... I went out and I had a few drinks.
MAX: That doesn't even make sense. You're ten weeks pregnant.
HOLLY: Yeah, thereabouts.
MAX: Did you cheat on me?
HOLLY: No. It all just happened around the same time. The dates aren't exact.
MAX: I don't believe this.
HOLLY: Look, I never told Sadie it was yours. She just assumed.
MAX: What, so you just let me think it too? We weren't even together - you should've just told me.
HOLLY: I know, I should've. You're just... you're so amazing. A part of me really wanted you to be the father. I talked myself into it.
MAX: So there's a chance the kid's still mine?
HOLLY: We can do a test when the time comes. But you shouldn't get your hopes up, just in case.
Max scoffs and shakes his head in disbelief.
No 30
Cara and JJ are on the sofa, preparing to look through photo albums to find some pictures of Greg. JJ asks if Cara is sure she's ready for this. Cara assures him she is. She looks wistfully at pictures of the Varga- Murphys all together, shortly after they arrived on Ramsay Street, and another of Remi kissing Cara.
CARA: Life has changed so much, hey? I don't have your ma and Dex anymore, and... now we don't have your pop either.
Greg's Caravan
As Cara's words continue, we cut to Greg alone in the caravan, microwaving and then opening a ready meal for one.
CARA (voiceover): I keep thinking about all the years we missed. All that time he spent in some caravan or some tent somewhere. Doing his own thing. Felt like I was finally reaching him. Finally getting inside his head. Figuring out what made him tick. It really felt like we were getting close.
No 30
Back with Cara and JJ...
CARA: And then he left. And now he's gone forever.
Cara begins flicking through the photo album frantically, as she comes to a realisation - they don't have any photos of Greg at all.
CARA: He's gone, and we don't have a single photo.
JJ looks worried as Cara walks out.
Greg's Caravan
Greg is looking pensive and conflicted.
Ramsay Street
Andrew and Felix arrive home in the car. Felix asks Andrew if they're 'sticking to the plan', as they'll have to start getting ready for the ceremony soon. Andrew doesn't answer - and then sees an anguished Max standing in the road. They get out and go to talk to him.
FELIX: You alright, mate?
MAX: No, I'm not. Apparently, I might not be the dad after all.
Holly then appears behind Max. She tries to talk to Max but he's upset and walks off quickly.
ANDREW: What did you say to him?
HOLLY: I didn't want him to be so invested.
ANDREW: What?
HOLLY: I just... I needed an out. And don't worry, I didn't mention you. I just... I told him I had a one- night stand.
Holly walks off back towards No 28. Andrew looks worried, and glances back towards Felix.
V-Bar
Paul and Taye are going through various admin tasks that have been left for them in the handover of the bar from the current owner, Hugh. This includes the lost property.
TAYE: This is really a job for a junior.
PAUL: Haha, guess what, sunshine? That's you.
Taye is impressed with how organised the lost property is - it's all bagged and dated. But he soon notices an item he recognises - one of the expensive earrings that Max bought for Holly. Taye recalls how he and Max ran into Holly here one night, but that was weeks later than the date on the bagged earring. Paul tells Taye to give Holly a call...
No 26
In the garden, Andrew and Felix are talking.
ANDREW: It's my baby.
FELIX: She didn't say that.
ANDREW: Why did she tell Max that she had a one- night stand? Why did she need to give him an out? Oh, god...
Sadie and Wendy come into the garden, not seeing Andrew and Felix who are around the corner of the house. Wendy is in her dress with a bouquet of flowers, and Sadie wants to take some photos. Andrew looks guilty as he hears how happy they seem.
As Sadie takes the photos, Wendy suddenly becomes emotional and starts crying.
SADIE: What's wrong?
WENDY: It's just... a few weeks ago, I never thought I could be this happy again.
SADIE: Well, you are, okay? And I'm happy for you too.
They hug. Andrew continues to look guilty as he stands listening with Felix.
The Waterhole
Max is sitting alone at a table with a pint. Around the corner, Jane and Nicolette are setting up for the reception which is taking place here after the vow renewal ceremony. We are reminded that Andrew's biological dad and sister, Steven and Gretchen, are among those who can't make the ceremony but will be coming to the reception.
They're just about to head home to get changed for the ceremony when Clint comes in. He tells Jane he's been thinking about Addison's pastry class, and asks if Jane would like to join them for it, suggesting that Addison might feel more comfortable with Jane there so it isn't so focused on the two of them. Nicolette laughs, clearly assuming that Clint is just trying to rekindle Jane's affections. But Jane doesn't answer.
NICOLETTE: Yes, she'll be there. Come on, let's get dressed.
Nicolette drags Jane out by the arm before she can contradict her. Holly then comes in and looks upset as she sees the signage for Andrew and Wendy's reception. She then approaches Max.
HOLLY: I really am sorry.
MAX: Are you? I loved you, Holly. I did everything in my power to make things right between us, but you just kept messing me around.
HOLLY: I know.
MAX: You know, I had this crazy idea that this baby was going to bring us back together. Then I find out there's only a 50 percent chance. So what, I'm just supposed to go through the next few months not knowing?
HOLLY: ... Maybe you should just assume that it's not.
MAX: See, now it feels like you're messing me around even more.
HOLLY: Just assume that it's not yours, and I'll leave you alone.
MAX: Tell the other guy.
HOLLY: What?
MAX: He deserves to know. Whoever he is, tell him. Just do the right thing, for once in your life.
Holly then gets a phone call from Taye, but ignores it as she walks out of the pub.
V-Bar
Taye is leaving Holly a voicemail as he holds her lost earring, telling her he's 'got news' and to give him a call back. Taye is about to get changed for the ceremony, but Paul reminds him that he needs to chase up the list of overcharges that customers had complained about; he wants the customers reimbursed before ownership changes hands, so that it's Hugh's money paying what's owed rather than his. Taye looks down the list.
TAYE: One of the patrons is Andrew Rodwell (...) The number matches my contacts. You know, I invited him and Wendy to my event, and he's, like, 'Nah, man, I'm too old for that place'. He's already been.
PAUL: Well, clearly, yeah.
TAYE: Why would he lie? ... Wow, okay. Andrew's credit card got charged on the exact same day that this earring got found in the bathroom.
PAUL: Huh. Rodwell and Holly here on the same day. Who'd have thought?
TAYE: It's weird...
No 30
Andrew and Felix are in the sunroom, all kitted out in their suits.
FELIX: Doing this?
They re- enter the house just as Cara and JJ come in - they're all packed for a trip to Cara's mum's house in Werribee, to raid her photo albums for pictures of Greg.
CARA: There's nobody there. It might give me some closure with Dad, too... Hey, enough of the long face. You've got a beautiful bride waiting for you.
Cara hugs Andrew as she thanks him for his support, and she thanks Felix too with a handshake. JJ and Felix leave, after which Felix tells Andrew...
FELIX: It's time to go.
Ramsay Street
As they drive off in the ute, JJ and Cara wave to Wendy and Sadie, who are leaving for the ceremony at the Pavilion. Wendy squeals with excitement as Sadie takes some more photos of her by the car. Andrew and Felix come out of the house just as Wendy and Sadie are getting into the car, Andrew looking very sombre indeed as he watches them drive off. Holly then appears under the archway at No 28, and Andrew goes over to talk to her.
ANDREW: Just tell me the truth. Is the baby mine?
Holly hesitates, but eventually nods in confirmation. Andrew looks even more haunted than he already did...
The Pavilion
Nicolette is teasing Jane about her cookery class with Clint.
NICOLETTE: It's a date.
JANE: It is not a date! Clint just wants me there as a third party, so that Addison feels more comfortable.
NICOLETTE: Mm, a convenient excuse.
Wendy and Sadie arrive, and Wendy greets Jane and Nic with a 'yoo- hoo!' Taye is next to arrive; he explains to Sadie that he's been at work, and has a 'weird story' to tell her. But Sadie asks if it can wait and walks off, evidently still annoyed with him.
Andrew and Felix then arrive, and Andrew goes over to talk to Wendy.
WENDY: Oh, there's my handsome future husband. Current husband - whatever!
ANDREW: ...
WENDY: What's wrong?
ANDREW: ... I need to talk to you alone.
He takes her aside from the others.
WENDY: Hey, what's happened? You're starting to scare me.
ANDREW: ...
WENDY: Andrew?
We cut to black in time with an ominous cue on the underscore...
