Madge is worried about Charlene being away with Scott. Tom suggests calling Fred, but apparently he has enough problems in Coff's Harbour - his business went down the drain when he was messing around with Susan. So she's given him her diamond ring to help him along a bit - for half its value. Tom protests but Madge says she did get $5,000 for it - Fred wrote her a cheque. Tom is skeptical. Madge breaks the news that Fred is planning to come back to Erinsborough when everything is straightened out.

Zoe tells Debra that she's manipulating Paul - she knows they've been sleeping together. When Paul comes in, Zoe asks him for a word, but he's needed on the phone before she can talk to him. He says to the person on the other end, "That's all I need to know". When he gets off the phone, Paul tells Zoe to go to the post office to get rid of her.

DEBRA: It's time you were done with her.
PAUL: And it's about time you collected your things and got out. I knew there was a spy around the place, so I set a little trap. And you've just walked right into it.

Mike arrives and Cassie isn't pleased to see him. He tells her he's sorry for going on at her before. Cassie says she's never done anything to be ashamed of, then tells him to sit down.
