Jim tells Fiona that he's not going to sell yet as Benito doesn't think they've peaked yet. She tells him that she's instructed the broker to sell, worried that he'd lose out. Jim is rather cross and says that Jeffrey shouldn't have sold without his authorisation.

FIONA: I'll make it up to you I promise. You'll never miss those shares once the salon gets going. We'll both make a packet.
JIM: Fi...I'm not so sure about this business partnership now.

Fiona looks a bit upset, but tells Jim that whatever he decides is fine by her.

Wayne and Pam are talking about guns being kept by civilians in their houses. Pam is shocked to hear that Wayne has a gun at Jim's place.

PAM: Where do you store this absolutely necessary firearm?
WAYNE: In my room.
PAM: I'd hardly call that a safe place!
BRAD: Person's got a right to own a gun if they want.
PAM: But what if it gets stolen, I mean there are kids in this street! Anything could happen!

Pam angrily tells Wayne that she's nursed people who've been hurt by guns - including children. It's no laughing matter.

(Later)

Wayne decides to leave, telling Pam they'll agree to disagree. Gaby bustles him out.

When Wayne has gone, Pam tells Doug that she doesn't like Wayne. Doug says they have to humour him, being Gaby's boyfriend.

Jim nods, and Fiona is delighted.

Coffee Shop
Jim sees Pam. Pam asks Jim is she knows Wayne has a gun in his house. Jim breezily tells her that Wayne likes to go shooting occasionally.

PAM: Jim, make him get rid of it - please.
JIM: The Robinson house hasn't suddenly turned into some sort of arsenal - he's got it locked away properly. If it makes you feel more comfortable, I'll make sure that he complies with all the regulations - to the letter.
PAM: Thanks.

Phoebe comes in and casually tells Stephen that Russell is keeping an eye on Hope. Stephen doesn't think it's a good idea. Phoebe is still grumpy that Stephn wants to work rather than spend time with Hope.

Lauren tells Brad that she feels guilty to be around Beth. She tells him that she's going away for a bit.

LAUREN: So what happens now?
BRAD: Well, nothing, I guess.
LAUREN: So are you...still going through with the wedding?
BRAD: Yeah. The way I feel about Beth...it's a different thing.
LAUREN: So, um, this was just a one- off with us?

At that moment, they randomly witness two cars bumping into each other(!)

LAUREN: So, was it just a one- off thing?
BRAD: Look...I'm really sorry, Lauren, I'm no good at this. I wanted to try to explain, but...it just didn't seem to come out right...
LAUREN: Look, don't worry about it Brad, I mean, now we can forget it ever happened and everything can go back to normal, right?

Just then, a lady from one of the crashed cars comes over and asks if they saw what happened. She asks Lauren to be a witness and takes her name and address.

LAUREN: We haven't had a fight or anything, it's just...I'm having second thoughts about us.
BETH: You two seem so good together.
LAUREN: Not really. Cameron's so intense about things. I mean, to tell you the truth, we don't really have much in common. I'm so wrapped up in work and everything, the syndicate, I'm just not ready for a full- on relationship.
BETH: Lauren, I've been living with Cam for quite a while now and believe me, he really loves you.
LAUREN: He doesn't know me.
BETH: Please, if you don't want to see him anymore, just tell him. He deserves that much.
LAUREN: I just don't knwo how to.
BETH: He's a sweet guy. He needs to know where he stands.

Cameron tells Lauren that he could come with her on her trip.

LAUREN: Look, can we just cool it a bit? I just think we've rushed into this all too quickly.
CAMERON: You played pretty hard to get when I first zeroed in on you.
LAUREN: I think you're really nice. Terrific guy.
CAMERON: Ah. That sounds pretty ominous to me.
LAUREN: I think we should separate for a while.
CAMERON: I see. How long is a while?
LAUREN: I'm just not ready for a serious relationship.
CAMERON: You're giving me the flick, right?
LAUREN: Oh, awful way of putting it.
CAMERON: Well, there isn't a nice way. Here I was thinking we had everything going for us.
LAUREN: I really like you. A lot.
CAMERON: Yeah, we've covered the polite bit. What did I do wrong?
LAUREN: Nothing! It's my fault and I'm sorry.
CAMERON: Is there somebody else?
LAUREN: Why do you say that?!
CAMERON: Seems like a logical explanation. You've been acting pretty strange lately.
LAUREN: I'm just not ready to get tied down. Not yet. I have to go.
CAMERON: That's it?

Lauren just leaves without another word.

Doug and Wayne are heading out on a shooting trip, but Wayne looks agitated.

WAYNE: I always keep it locked in my wardrobe and I keep the key hidden! Hannah's in and out of the place all the time and if a kid like that found the key, well, she might pinch it just for kicks.
DOUG: Pinch what?
WAYNE: In one way, I hope it was only her. I always keep the ammo separate of course, it's not likely she'd hurt herself. But if someone else has taken it...somebody who means business...
DOUG: Calm down, what are you on about?
WAYNE: It's my rifle, it's gone. Someone's stolen it.

Well, I know who my No.1 suspect is!
