Office
Phil starts to laugh and Gaby tells him off. Phil shows her into the inner office.

PHIL: The Blue Rose is not an escort agency. Nothing like it.

He takes a file out of his cabinet and shows her.

GABY: What is it, then?
PHIL: It's a detective agency. I hired the Blue Rose people to try and find my son. They're specialists in tracing runaways.
GABY: Michael?
PHIL: Yes.

Phil explains that if Julie finds out, she'll be upset, and asks Gaby not to say anything. Julie had a very hard time with Michael, and Phil doesn't want her to suffer anymore. But he loves Michael, and he has to know he's alright.

Gaby smiles sheepishly. Phil explains that he went to Sydney to follow a lead, and also talked to some street people in Melbourne. Gaby admits that she followed Phil, and apologises for her behaviour. He laughs it off, and can see how Gaby misunderstood.

PHIL: I'm just glad you didn't go blabbling to anyone.
GABY: Yeah...(!)
PHIL: I can't begin to tell you how important it is to keep this to yourself. I'm juggling the future of my marriage with my duty as a father and it's not easy.
GABY: I won't say a word.

CAMERON: Lauren, I know I said we'd take it slow and that I'd leave it all up to you, and I'm not going back on that, I'm not. But, living in the same house, being with you every day, seems like it's taking forever. I think...I love you. And I need to know if you feel the same.
LAUREN: Cameron, I...
CAMERON: You what?
