At Mrs York's:
Mrs York comes round and is worried about Billy, her dog.

At the coffee shop:
Charlene is admiring Daphne's whopping engagement ring while the others discuss Mrs York starving. On to more important matters, Charlene wants to know if it will be a big wedding - reminding Daphne that Des shot through last time, before trying to run off (accidentally on purpose) with her ring.

At the hospital:
Helen and Mrs York chat about lost husbands and wedding rings. Mrs York confesses she's had to sell all her furniture and possessions to save her house. Helen says she should have called on Meals on Wheels to help but Mrs York was too proud. Helen suggests her friend comes to have a word, to see if he can help. Mrs York would rather go home - she needs to see to her dog. Helen insists that she can look after him.

Outside:
Clive and Helen bump into Zoe who is wandering the corridors before she goes home later that day. Paul is giving her a lift home. Clive suggests that she move in with him and Daphne for a couple of days and she gladly agrees.

At the Robinsons:
Paul goes to visit Jim and tells him Zoe is going home that day. He thinks it'd be a good idea for Jim to stay away at the moment though. Jim is put out, but agrees. He asks Paul how business is and Paul moans that he seems to get pipped at the post on every deal lately. Jim suggests that maybe there is a spy in the office. Paul scoffs, but agrees to have a think about it.

At the Waterhole:
Busy Paul has dropped in on his way back to the hospital. Jack has read his proposal and wants to know if he's told Rosemary yet. Paul wanted to wait until everything was complete and Jack thinks that's a good idea - he wants Paul to give him six months. During that time Paul will manage the company, and will have first option to buy after that. Paul is a bit miffed but agrees.

At Clive's:
Paul pours champagne for himself, Zoe and Clive. She is unsure whether she should be drinking but Clive encourages her. Paul leaves and Zoe praises Clive for his doctoring skills. She asks him why he left medicine and he spins her a line about never having done anything interesting in his dull and boring life - so he gave up medicine and bought a gorilla outfit. She doesn't buy a word of it.

At the hospital:
Des pops in to visit Mrs York in his role as bank manager. Helen has told him about her money problems and he's got a plan for her to consider - sell her house, buy a unit and invest the capital. With his bank. Nice guy! She worries that a unit wouldn't let her keep her dog.

At the Waterhole:
Paul is back and working over his dinner. He tells Debra about the six month set back and that he'll be running the place in the six month interim period. She suggests his first big decision should be to sack Shane Ramsay - his workers are lazy. Paul isn't keen but she presses that you have to be ruthless in business. He goes off to buy her a drink while she sneaks a look at his figures.

At the Coffee shop:
Des tells Daphne and Mrs Mangel that he's been giving Mrs York financial advice. Mrs Mangel feels the same as me - that it's terrible for a bank manager to visit a sick old lady in hospital and try to get her to sell her house. Daphne sends her off with a flea in her ear.

Outside Lassiters:
Paul tells Shane he is his new boss. Debra comments that he's way behind schedule and Shane asks what the hell it has to do with her. She leaves and Paul tells Shane not to talk to guests like that. Shane refuses to bow down and warns Paul to watch out for her - she's bad news.

At the Waterhole:
Andrea tells Jack she is worried about going living in the Outback. She was brought up in the Bush and doesn't want to go back to it. He says he didn't realise she felt like that. Willing to compromise she suggests they try it for a month. He asks "A month? I thought we might try it for a week. Once we get back - from overseas." He's got them tickets to Paris. She almost strangles him with joy.

At the hospital:
The kids have come to visit Mrs York and tell her that they're going to help her out from now on -Scott and Mike will do her house and gardens, and the girls will do her shopping. She tells them she might have to move into a unit but they're good kids. Barely ten seconds after arriving, they leave.

Outside Lassiter's:
Debra is planning something with a mystery man - pointing out two of Shane's workers and telling him to wait until Shane leaves.

At the Robinsons:
Helen is looking sadly at a picture of Laura. She tells Jim that she'd phoned her and is worried that something is really wrong. Jim thinks she should get her to fly down there but she says Laura won't hear of it, so she's flying up there instead. She warns him not to say anything to Nikki.
