Ramsays
Maria is furious that Max didn't tell Shane about his other woman. Shane wants Maria to tell him her side of the story. Maria says that she doesn't want Shane to take sides. But she tells him about Max not coming home one night. The next morning she found Max with another woman - that's why she left Max all those years ago. During the separation, Maria stayed at a guest house in the country to have a think about the future.
In a flashback, Maria says that the people at the guest house were kind and didn't ask too many questions. Then Tim Duncan arrived. He sat at Maria with her table and introduced himself. Maria says that Tim was a very happy man. The next morning she went for a walk and Tim saw her. He joined her on her walk. They kissed in the forest.
Maria says that Tim was one-of-a-kind. She was shy and unsure before, but he made her feel loved and desired. But two days later Tim moved on and Maria came back to Max in Ramsay Street.
Maria never mentioned her affair and neither did Max. Shane tells Maria that one day Danny will have to know the truth.

Hary and his girlfriend (who is taller than him) are laughing together. They are planning to go round the world together if they win the raffle(!) The ticket is being drawn today.
Shane comes in and everyone does introductions. Harry's girlfriend (Cleo) recognises Shane as an excellent diver. But says she's sorry about his accident.
When Harry and Cleo have gone, Shane tells Daphne that he's found something out - people don't communicate enough. So he's come to tell Daphne that she's one of his favourite people. He kisses her on the cheek. Daphne says that she likes the way Shane communicates!
Ramsays
Shane is just off - he's going up the coast with the girls he met at the campsite. Shane tells Maria that he hopes that Max and Maria will get back together.
Kim's flat
Scott gives Kim some more money. She says she's done some thinking - Brad has got people to take the baby. She says there's no alternative but to sell the baby. Apparently Josie is in labour at the moment and is going to hand over the baby. Scott is appalled and tells Kim that she doesn't need him anymore. Anyway, Kim knows where he lives if she changes her mind.
Hospital
Kim has come to see Josie. She's lying in bed, crying. Josie tells Kim tearfully that the baby was beautiful. And she can't let Brad take her away from her. She doesn't want the money - she just wants to keep her little girl.
JOSIE: Don't let him do this to you, Kim.
Robinsons
Kim rings up to talk to Scott, but only Paul is there. Paul tells Kim that Scott can't give her anymore money - he can't get it. But he'll tell Scott that she called.
Just then Scott comes in and Paul gives him the message from Kim. Scott tells Paul that he's had enough. Paul explains that Kim said on the phone that she didn't want to see him about the money.
Scott says he's had enough of Kim. Paul encourages him not to give up on her. Scott says that he's out of his depth. Paul offers to come with him to see Kim.
Kim's flat
Scott and Paul have come to see Kim. Kim tells Scott that she can't go through with selling the baby. She cries in his arms.
Des's
Des comes in and hears Daphne talking to the parrot. It sounds quite suggestive but it's quite innocent! Des tells her that he saw her grandfather at the bank - he gave him $30 to get rid of him.
Just then Harry and Cleo come in. They tell them that they didn't win the raffle, but they did win a 10,000th couple prize in a restaurant. They've also won a free trip to the Gold Coast and they leave tonight! Des is very pleased!
(Later)
Harry and Cleo are just off, leaving the parrot behind for Des(!)
DAPHNE: He said he'd be back.
DES: I heard.
Kim's flat
Kim tells Scott that she doesn't like their plan. Just then, Brad arrives - apparently they've called him. Kim tells Brad that she won't sell the baby. Paul says he'd better sling his hook or he'll report him to the police. Then he throw him out of Kim's flat.
Paul says it's up to Kim now. Kim says she's in a mess and she can't go back to her parents. Paul says she has to do something. Paul says he'll try to make some arrangements for her and she agrees to go along with anything he suggests. Paul says that he'll make an appointment for some counselling for Kim - God knows she needs it.
